Chapter 216: Not Acting (4k) Sun Yueqing was confused and didn't understand why Wu Mu wanted to take her out at this time. He even asked her if she could swim. She followed Wu Mu in confusion, said hello to director Wang Ren, and then left the set. Then I saw Wu Mu calling someone, "Brother Wu, please help me find two professional lifeguards to come to Dongshan Film and Television City, and bring some swimming rings, ropes, air bags and other emergency equipment." "What are you going to do?" Sun Yueqing couldn't help but ask, becoming more and more confused the more she listened. "You'll find out later." Sun Yueqing will know soon. Wu Mu took her for a long drive, stopping and starting, and finally stopped on a small bridge near the film and television city. Sun Yueqing looked at the small bridge in front of her and the river under the bridge, and she realized something. "You want to jump into the river to experience the plot?" “Are you crazy!!?”
Sun Yueqing exclaimed. Wu Mu looked at her with a smile, "How is this crazy? Didn't you stay in the hospital for half a month just to play a patient?" "How can this be the same thing?" Sun Yueqing glared at him, grabbed his hand, and tried to drag him back, "Don't mess around and play with your own life." Wu Mu certainly wouldn't joke about his own life, "It's not that dangerous." "The water here is not deep. You can see there are people swimming in front. They can even show their heads when they stand there. It's only about or meters. If I don't panic, I can also stand there." He really did come here to experience the plot and feel the feeling of drowning for himself, so that he could use his skills to restore it and perform it later. But he came here to experience the plot, not to die, and all safety measures have been considered. Besides the fact that the water here is not deep and is very calm, there are also many passers-by nearby, so everyone can come running over if you shout. Moreover, there were professional lifeguards led by Shi Wu and Sun Yueqing watching over them, so there was not much danger at all. After listening to Wu Mu's explanation, Sun Yueqing felt relieved, but she was still speechless and mad, "Even if there is no danger, there is no point in you doing this!" Is this guy out of his mind? The actors didn’t say they experienced the plot this way! What effect can this experience have? Does it mean that by jumping into a river to experience the feeling of drowning, you can act out the act of drowning? How can this be possible! "You think the performance is too simple!" There were so many flaws in it that Sun Yueqing didn't know how to complain. She thought Wu Mu might have been stimulated by the impromptu performance with her, so she tried to comfort him, "Amu, it doesn't matter if you can't act. You are so good at singing and writing songs, and you can also make games and look handsome. No one will care about such a small flaw as not being able to act." Wu Mu looked at her with amusement, "Didn't you just laugh at me for being worse at acting than before? And didn't you say that everyone would definitely criticize me after my performance was broadcast?" Sun Yueqing felt a little guilty. "It doesn't matter if people scold you. You sing so well. Even if you are scolded, it will only affect your reputation a little bit. It won't affect your popularity."
"I think the impact is quite big." Wu Mu laughed. "No, the point is that it's useless for you to do this. If it were useful, I would still support you. But what's the point of jumping into the river like this except increasing the risk to yourself?" No matter what he said, he insisted on jumping into the river to experience it himself. Sun Yueqing wanted to go up and hit him directly to see if he was still dizzy. She was still trying to persuade him, when Shi Wu came with his men. Sun Yueqing quickly went to find Shi Wu, "Director Shi, please quickly persuade your boss, he wants to jump into the river!" what. what? The Shiwu people who had just arrived with their men were all stunned. Jumping into the river? What the hell is going on? After listening to Sun Yueqing's introduction of the whole story, Shi Wu looked at Wu Mu as if he was looking at a mental patient. Improve your acting skills by jumping into a river to commit suicide and experiencing drowning? Is this something a normal person could come up with? Isn't this just something that a mentally ill person came up with? Shi Wuhe was speechless, "Mr. Wu, this won't help improve your acting skills. Improving your acting skills doesn't mean you can perform well just because you've experienced similar things. The mentality when facing the camera is completely different from when you encounter something in person." As a former director, even if he is a former director who has always lost money, he still has some say in acting. It's just like child's play. If you can act like drowning just by jumping into a river, then being an actor would be too easy. Acting experience is one thing, but the most important thing is how to perform this experience in front of the camera. This is something that you need to think about and practice frequently. It is impossible to just experience it and then perform it. Well, it is impossible under normal circumstances, but I have a cheat. Wu Mu smiled and said, "It's not too dangerous anyway, just give it a try." It seems that this person is really determined to have some unconventional ideas today. Shi Wu sighed, feeling that he was unlucky to have such a boss. Since he couldn't stop this whimsical boss, Shi Wu had no choice but to help minimize the danger. "Boss Wu, if you must try it, wait for me to call a few more people, and ask Master Liu and the others to help explore the underwater situation first." "Okay." There is nothing wrong with Wu Wood. Wait until everything is ready. Looking at Sun Yueqing and the others who were just like mischievous children around him, Wu Mu felt happy and walked towards the bridge step by step. Walking to the edge of the bridge, looking at the not-so-high water surface beneath his feet, Wu Mu turned back to look at Sun Yueqing and said with a smile, "If you jump, I'll jump too."
Sun Yueqing was stunned for a moment, but quickly realized that Wu Mu was saying the lines from the play. No, what lines are you still reciting at this time? Who would want to recite lines with you! What's more, the emotion you're acting is totally wrong. In the drama, people are very serious. How can they be half-smiling like you? Sun Yueqing was speechless and recited the lines from the play expressionlessly, "Boring." Wu Mu looked at her and smiled, "Don't you believe me? I'm telling the truth. As long as you jump down, I will definitely jump down with you to save you." Sun Yueqing laughed in her heart and was still thinking about continuing to rehearse lines with this boring person. But before she could finish her words, Wu Mu in front of him seemed to be tired of holding on to the railing and made a gesture to change hands. but. He was halfway through changing hands when his grip seemed to be loose, and he staggered and fell backwards. Sun Yueqing looked at Wu Mu, whose face changed drastically and whose eyes seemed to be filled with panic, and her mind suddenly started buzzing. There is no such scene in the drama, he really didn’t hold on firmly and fell down!! Hurry, go and save him! She turned around with a pale face and wanted to shout, but then she saw Shi Wu and the others who didn't show any big changes on their faces, and the lifeguards who had been waiting in the water for a long time. She realized that this was not a private gathering, there were other people around, and Wu Mu was probably teasing her on purpose. Your uncle's! You like to make fun of people even when you're not on the show, don't you? You usually act awkwardly, picking your feet, but your acting is so good when you're making fun of people, right? Sun Yueqing was so angry that she was about to die. But he still quickly ran to the railing and checked the situation of Wu Mu below. Fortunately, just as Wu Mu thought, there was no danger. After struggling in the water for a while, Wu Mu was rescued by the lifeguard. Sun Yueqing looked at Wu Mu, who was pale, shivering with cold, and had a look of shock in his eyes and face, and rolled her eyes at him, "You feel better after drinking a bellyful of water, right? Why are you making trouble for yourself?" Wu Mu also felt that he had suffered a great deal. Although the man was safe, the water he had just drunk was real. He was a person who could not swim, and after experiencing such a drowning scene, the fear in his heart was real. I have put in so much effort, it would be unreasonable if I don't get praised for this play. Sun Yueqing didn't think that he would be able to act well just by experiencing it himself, and she laughed, "When it's your turn, you'll know that acting is not that simple." That's not necessarily true. If you have the skills, performing is that easy. Wu Mu thought to himself. Now that I have experienced the situation, I have the materials I will use for the performance. After changing into clean clothes, he took Sun Yueqing back to the set. Shi Wu also followed along. Although he didn't show it on his face, he actually wanted to watch the excitement that his boss would have. Sun Yueqing and Shi Wu were both waiting to see the excitement that Wu Mu would put on so that he would know that the performance was not that simple.
Yang Rongfa and Wang Ren on the set had no idea what Wu Mu had just done, otherwise they would have been speechless. But they were also talking about Wu Mu. Yang Rongfa and Wang Ren discussed, "Let's just shoot Wu Mu's back in the scene later, without cutting to his face. Set up the camera opposite Cui Fu, and focus on Cui Fu's facial reaction at that moment." Wang Ren thought about it and shook his head, "This is not powerful enough, and it doesn't hint at the cause of Wang Chuang's death." Yang Rongfa frowned, "If you shoot Wu Mu, he won't be able to act and it won't have much impact. To hint at the cause of his death, wet his hair and change his clothes to wet ones. Shooting from the back will also show the same." Wang Ren still insisted, "Let him try it first and see the effect." Yang Rongfa frowned, "Then let him try a few times. If he doesn't want to do it, try the method I said." He was worried that Wang Ren would fall into his old habit of reshooting a scene over and over again. Things were different now. The current situation did not support their crew's lavish spending. He should finish filming the movie quickly, which would also be a responsibility to Wu Mu, the investor. Wang Ren nodded but said nothing. Everyone is still paying more attention to Wu Mu's first scene. Especially with what happened with Sun Yueqing and Wu Mu's impromptu audition, everyone was somewhat curious about how Wu Mu would perform during the official filming. This scene is considered the highlight of today, so when the filming officially started, many people came over to watch the fun. Wu Mu, who had already put on his makeup, sat opposite Cui Fu all wet, while the staff around him were making final preparations. The assistant director was explaining the scene to them, talking about the actions and scenes they would be doing later. Well, I mainly explained it to Wu Mu, and I explained it in great detail, down to every action and every shot. As for the reason, there is no need to ask. But there isn’t really any major action in Wu Mu’s scene. This scene is about the protagonist Wang An discovering that the enemy who killed his son Wang Chuang has reappeared, and then he specially prepared a table of dishes to commemorate his son, vowing to give justice to his dead son, and then Wu Mu just sits there as a phantom of his imagination. Wu Mu didn't need to say anything or make any big movements throughout the whole process. He just needed to show his state before his death. Although this may be more difficult and requires actors to use various micro-expressions and small movements to express it. The assistant director, instructed by Yang Rongfa, reduced the difficulty for Wu Mu, "Teacher Wu Mu, just show a horrified expression on your face and tremble with your body." They wanted to use a routine template to let Wu Mu get away with it. Wu Mu did not argue, he would let the facts speak for themselves later. After the play was finished, the final preparations were soon completed. "First time in the third scene, ninth shot, action!" As the scene notes were recorded, filming officially began. The camera was aimed at Wu Mu, and the people watching the fun on the side also looked at Wu Mu. Then, when they saw this, everyone was slightly stunned.
Clearly, Wu Mu in the camera seemed to be just sitting there, not moving, but they just felt that Wu Mu seemed a little different from the previous moment? Is it their illusion? They were still confused in their hearts, and Cui Fu, who was sitting opposite Wu Mu, performed the prescribed actions. He poured himself a glass of wine, took a sip, then looked at Wu Mu with a smile. But the moment he saw it, the smile on his face froze slightly. Something is wrong. The people watching nearby were too far away to feel it, but he, who was sitting close, felt it immediately. Wu Mu is indeed different from before. He seemed not to be moving, but in fact his whole body was shaking at an imperceptible amplitude. And if you look closely, within this imperceptible amplitude of shaking, there would occasionally be some larger amplitudes. This trembling is too real! It doesn't look like acting at all! Is it possible for Wu Mu, who could only act awkwardly before, to perform such delicate movements? Cui Fu was almost killed because of his shock. And as his eyes moved upwards, he discovered that not only was the body shaking, but the man was also inexplicably pale, with a pale face, contracted pupils, fear and pain in his eyes, a tense and curled up body, bulging blood vessels and knuckles, and so on! It's all about the details! The various details are so real that they look scary! When his eyes met Wu Mu's, he even felt a jump in his heart and wanted to ask him if he was okay. People can judge the truth of a thing from various details and subconsciousness. From these small details of Wu Mu's body, his subconscious mind was telling him that Wu Mu was in pain, very cold and very scared. It was so real, so real that he couldn't imagine how Wu Mu could control himself to achieve so many details. He suppressed his surprise and continued to act according to the script. "Son, eat." He said to his own fantasy, and as he spoke, he stretched out his hand, wanting to hold Wu Mu's hand on the table. But the moment he touched Wu Mu's palm, he could no longer bear it. "Are you OK?" The facial expressions can be acted out in detail, but how about the body temperature? The temperature of this man's palm is frighteningly cold! (End of this chapter)
