Chapter 458 Falling (Earth)
"CUT!"

Master Xing shouted.

The crew came to life in an instant.

Originally, only the scene in the camera was active, but now the entire shooting scene is injected with vitality in an instant, and all crew members are busy.

Truman was still standing by the tall building. The night breeze was a bit cool. When Ting Jun walked towards Truman with his coat, he noticed that Truman had been staring into the deep darkness downstairs.

The crew knew that when Truman was filming, he often referred to him as Zhang Shizai. Therefore, when shooting this kind of scene near the end and near death, no one dared to disturb Truman for fear of any accident. Only Ting Jun used to be able to bring him back to reality.

"Teacher Trumen..." Ting Jun said softly, "The filming is over."

"What do you say next?" Truman turned his head to look at Jun Ting, his tone of voice was not like the usual Trumen, but that sentimental Zhang Shizai whose life was coming to an end.

"There's nothing down here." Ting Jun said, "Hey, come down quickly, let's eat fish eggs."

Now Truman's food preferences are almost the same as Zhang Shizai's. Zhang Shizai likes to eat fish eggs, and he also likes to eat them.

Truman was still obedient, Jun Ting told him to come down, and he left the building. Although he was tied with a rope, seeing his movement, Jun Ting, Master Xing and everyone in the crew were relieved.

Only Mr. Ting heard Trumen muttering: "There is relief below."

Ting Jun was a little pale.

……

Jun Ting communicated with Master Xing after filming: "Master Xing, I don't think we can shoot the last scene."

"Are you worried about CH's mental state?" Master Xing also felt that something was wrong, "But if you don't shoot the last scene of jumping off the building... Although it is incomplete, it is not impossible."

That's right, the last scene of the movie is Zhang Shizai jumping down from a tall building. This scene should be the end of the movie, but Truman's involvement in the film now seems to be possessed. Every day on the set, it is a living Zhang Shizai. Aberdeen, even Master Xing as the director felt a little creepy.

In private, many crew members said that "Zhang Shizai got on Truman's body".

Xiangjiang is inherently superstitious, and this idea has spread like wildfire. Although the actors are in the role and are good at playing, there is something wrong with the current situation. If something happens to Truman during the filming of the jumping scene, it will be over. .

In view of this, Master Xing discussed with Truman to cancel the last scene of jumping off the building and use other forms of expression.

Xing Ye said: "For example, you can use the reports of major media around the world on this matter, or your posthumous work "Everything Follows the Wind" sold 20 copies, and Xiangjiang people use it as a memorial, or use funeral scenes to express it."

Master Xing subconsciously used "伱" to replace "Zhang Shizai" in his words, and it seemed that he also subconsciously felt that Zhang Shizai was in front of him.

"That's incomplete." Truman said leisurely.

"What's incomplete?" Master Xing asked.

"The story is incomplete," Truman said. "That was the last and most important part of my life, and if I don't show it, my story is incomplete."

"But there are other ways of expression..." Xing Ye said.

"Other ways of expression are the second best." Truman looked at Master Xing, "Xingzi, are you willing to shoot an incomplete movie, just like those uncooked poached eggs you fried?"

The sound of "Xingzi" made Master Xing lose his soul. The story of the poached eggs is the story when he and Zhang Shizai filmed "Happy Events in the Family". He fried it by himself and he cooked it to medium rare. Zhang Shizai bluntly said "I can't eat it" after seeing it, but Master Xing ate it and said "it's good for his eight-pack abs".

If Zhang Shizai hadn't possessed a soul, how could he possibly tell about the past decades?

So, when it came to the scene of jumping off the building, Master Xing specially ordered Truman to hang a few more wires, and he must not be allowed to jump. Of course there were doubles on the scene, but Truman thought that this kind of simple scene, he still used doubles. , is too delicate.

Before shooting, he even joked with the crew: "Do you really think I will jump off?"

"No, no." The prop master who tied the wires for Truman smiled and shook his head: "Master Chu is an international superstar, he is delicate and expensive, but we are afraid that we can't afford it if you really encounter something."

"An international superstar is just a puppet in human form." Truman said with a smile.

The prop master couldn't understand, but Ting Jun heard it. She was staring at Truman with all her attention. Hearing this sentence, she was shocked again.

What did Teacher Truman just say?
What puppet?
But there was no time to ask, the wire was fastened, the assistant director began to clear the scene, the lighting was prepared, and the camera lens was aimed at Truman.

"145 scenes, one scene and three shots officially started shooting!"

The assistant director held the slate and buckled in front of the camera, indicating that the filming of the last scene of the movie had officially started.

A movie generally has about 200 scenes. This "Zhang Shizi" is a character documentary with a relatively simple scene structure, so there are only 145 scenes. After editing, it will become a 110-minute movie. It's the last few minutes of the movie.

Truman was in a very bad state, partly because of the makeup, and partly because his mental state was really bad. Deep depression had been plaguing him for several years. No matter how much love he received, the wound that would never heal was still exposed. Anyone who wanted to could poke him on his body, and the pain made it even more difficult to heal and penetrated deep into the bone marrow.

"This movie is about the love between a man and a man..." He murmured, as if holding a blade in his mouth and swallowing it slowly. Lord, in the end this award was awarded to Tony Leung, who co-starred with him in "Happy Together", the host joked when the award was presented.

Although time passed, the wound still failed to heal.

"Pretending to be a woman, with long hair like Sadako, wearing old clothes..." He also said that some unscrupulous reporters praised him for the wonderful concert in front of him, and maliciously mocked him in the newspaper behind his back.

The morbid psychology brought about by his physiology was like strong winds and huge waves, destroying the boat of his soul. It was about to capsize, yes... He realized that he was about to capsize, so he supported himself and cried and wrote a suicide note. In just a few words, he had already written a suicide note. After exhausting all his strength, he couldn't believe that something was going to happen to him, so he called a friend: "Believe it or not, I don't have depression, and I don't have any evil spirits. Please help me prepare a press conference..."

At this time, the violent storm in his mind had submerged him, and only the darkness under the dangerous building was the ultimate relief. When this thought came up, the joy it brought him instantly made him extremely relaxed. He knew that the time had come, so Call your agent again: "Please come and pick me up..."

Then, there is the fall.

……

Truman jumped up.

The wire on his body was straightened, the director shouted "CUT", and the audience stood up and applauded. The one-man show just a few minutes ago was so contagious. Everyone could feel the despair, struggle and ultimate abandonment of Truman. , this performance can be called shocking.

Ting Jun rushed over with tears in his eyes and helped the prop master to pull up Truman. In fact, it was not very high, it was just a simple lift. With Truman's past skills, without adding any wires, he could do it with one hand. Can save myself.

After being pulled back, Truman's expression was slightly strange. He smiled at Ting Jun with a tenderness he had never seen before: "I'm fine, I just woke up a little."
