After The Vicious Cannon Fodder Was Reborn

Growing up in an orphanage since he was a child, Tao Mu, who had suffered so much, never thought that his life was actually a result of picking up the wrong script.

Eighteen years ago, two ch...

Chapter 166

Even when Director Xu shouted "cut" himself, the entire set was still silent. Tao Mu also stood there quietly, his chest heaving violently, his face livid, obviously he was too immersed in the role. I can't get out for a while.

Li Xiaoheng, who was standing at the side of the set, looked at Tao Mu with particular concern. Liu Yao's face was filled with relief and pride. They felt that Tao Mu was worthy of being the little brat of their family. He was usually easy to talk to with a smile, but when he exploded, he did have a frightening aura.

Everyone was immersed in their own emotions and remained silent. After a while, a burst of sobbing broke the silence on the set. Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw Shen Yu standing there with tears in her eyes, her eyes were red from crying. She didn't dare to cry out loud. She bit her lips and sobbed aggrievedly. It was obvious that she was frightened.

Yan Sheng was the first to react. He walked forward, gently put his arm around Shen Yu's shoulders, and soothed his back. Shen Yu hugged Yan Sheng's waist tightly and burst into tears.

The crying sound seemed to break the spell, and other people began to react one after another. Chen Yan rushed to Tao Mu anxiously and angrily, wanting to throw a tantrum again, "What are you doing? Just act, why do you have to scare people? Can you afford to compensate us for scaring Xiao Yu? Tell me, did you do it on purpose--"

"Get out!" Tao Mu's eyes were red, and the hostility in his body had not yet dissipated. When he looked at Shen Yan, it was as if two sharp swords were piercing straight into Shen Yan's chest.

Shen Yan felt her whole body suddenly shaken, all the accusations and abuses were stuck in her throat, and she couldn't say a word. Even the body couldn't stop shaking.

Li Xiaoheng walked forward with a serious expression, bypassed Chen Yan, and directly took Tao Mu back to sit on the lounge chair. I unscrewed the thermos cup for him, and inside was iced green bean soup: "It's for cooling off."

Tao Mu raised his head and drank silently. A lifetime of accumulated negative emotions came crashing down on him the moment he exploded. It was like an endless tide, layer upon layer, endlessly beating against a heart that I thought had already been as cold as a rock.

Bloody bone claws stretched out from the rolling sea of ​​blood, grabbing Tao Mu's body and dragging him down fiercely. Tao Mu didn't want to struggle and let the negative emotions sweep over his body.

Xu Musen sat in front of the monitor, watching Tao Mu's on-the-spot outburst over and over again. Tao Mu's acting skills are very good, this is the consensus of everyone in the crew. He can act with the best actor and lead the best actress, and he handles all roles with ease. It is no exaggeration to say that such actors have their own aura.

When acting with Shen Yu before, Tao Mu deliberately suppressed his performance in order to ensure a smooth filming. While trying hard to get Shen Yu into the role, he also tried his best not to put too much pressure on Shen Yu. However, even so, Shen Yu was still affected. When reciting the lines, he stuttered and lacked breath, and his facial expressions and movements were impossible to detect in detail.

Now that Tao Mu exploded on the spot, his momentum soared instantly, not to mention newcomers like Shen Yu, even veteran actors like Yan Sheng and Wang Jinsheng could not guarantee that they would be able to take on the role. The impact is also clear. The originally evenly matched scene instantly turned into a naked crushing defeat. Yan Yu, who should have been righteous and eloquent, was suppressed by Tao Mu's acting skills and couldn't say a word. The lines that were previously used to explain justice became pale and powerless under Shen Yu's interpretation. The scenes constructed in the script where the black and white sides each express their own ideas were played by Shen Yu like a third party caught having an affair and making guilty excuses when facing his original wife.

The conception of the character Yan Yu is no longer tenable.

Xu Musen looked at the monitor with some regret. In fact, in the entire script, the four characters played by Yan Yu and Zhou Yuanting, Yan Qi and Zhou Yanqing, who play the gangster bosses, can be said to be two control groups. Representing the black and white sides respectively. Especially Yan Yu and Zhou Yuanting, although these two characters do not appear much, their roles are crucial. Because the roles of the two male protagonists are to promote the development of the plot and maintain the plot conflict. Therefore, according to the script setting, all kinds of hypocrisy are required. There is white mixed in black, and black mixed in white. It has long been unclear.

But Yan Yu is different from Zhou Yuanting. Although the age and roles of the two characters limit their performance, they also perfectly ensure the purity of the two characters. One is pure white, the other is pure black. Black and white are incompatible. There is no room for any gray area; this is the difference in concepts.

In the script setting, the character Zhou Yuanting represents greed. Greed is the driving force of human progress. Therefore, Zhou Yuanting has performed very well since he was in the police academy. He trained hard, always came in first in every assessment, and was the most admired student by the instructors at the police academy. But at the same time, Zhou Yuanting also enjoyed the pleasure of being bold and reckless, so he never took school rules and regulations to heart. On the eve of graduation, he dared to skip classes to go to the bar and even fought with others. He was eventually expelled from the police academy.

Zhou Yuanting was unwilling to see his efforts go to waste. He was tempted by the police's promise of high-ranking positions and generous salaries and agreed to go undercover. However, while working undercover, Zhou Yuanting discovered that his efforts and rewards were totally disproportionate. So he regretted it again. He discovered that the relationship between Yan Qi and Yan Yu was just a fuse that pushed him towards evil. The fundamental reason why Zhou Yuanting turned evil is his greed. He has no ideals or beliefs in his heart. He only cares about whether his efforts can achieve higher achievements. As for whether the direction of his efforts is black or white, Zhou Yuanting doesn't care at all.

Compared with Zhou Yuanting, the character Yan Yu represents absolute whiteness. He is inflexible, stubborn and regards the police as his only faith. He lived an upright life, valued friendship, was grateful, filial to his parents, considerate to his wife, and did not allow any darkness to exist in his nature. So he refused to forgive his brother who was involved in gangsterism. At the end of the script, when Yan Yu found out that his brother was an undercover agent and Zhou Yuanting had replaced him as an undercover agent, and finally couldn't resist the temptation of the gang and turned completely evil, Yan Yu resolutely decided to arrest Zhou Yuanting. However, during the arrest process, the undercover police officer bribed by the gangster boss saw that Zhou Yuanting was about to be arrested and was afraid that Zhou Yuanting would expose him so he wanted to kill Zhou Yuanting to silence him. However, Yan Yu blocked the bullet for Zhou Yuanting. Before he died, he only had time to say sorry to Zhou Yuanting.

Zhou Yuanting complained that Yan Yu had taken away his future and woman, so Yan Yu finally gave Zhou Yuanting a life. He always regarded Zhou Yuanting as his best brother. It's just that the two people have different positions and different ideas, and they are completely unable to convince each other.

It’s a pity that Shen Yu, who plays Yan Yu, didn’t perform well enough. I failed to bring out the charm of this character. Therefore, actors should not easily try to play roles that they cannot handle. If he fails to act well and his role is unconvincing, not only will he be criticized but the entire script may also collapse.

Xu Musen scratched his head in annoyance. Tao Mu's impromptu performance was so good that Xu Musen was reluctant to delete it and decided to keep it. Therefore, the focus of the next filming will be on polishing the character of Yan Yu.

Director Xu asked Shen Yu to be well prepared and make sure to shoot the following scenes well. He didn't imagine that Shen Yu's performance could be on par with Tao Mu's, but at least he had to make the role convincing. It’s okay to be just average!

But Shen Yu was just frightened by Tao Mu's outburst. When he saw Zhou Yuanting's face during the scene, he thought of Tao Mu's violent behavior just now, and was so scared that he was restrained and couldn't even behave properly as before.

After several NGs, not only Shen Yu's brain was already a mess due to nervousness, but even the other people in the crew had a headache.

Director Xu stared at the monitor with a gloomy face, wishing he could bring out Shen Yu's acting skills. Shen Yu knew he was in the wrong, so he huddled beside Yan Sheng and didn't dare to look up. I was secretly blaming myself for not living up to my expectations.

But it’s not really his fault. Even for the most talented actors, it takes time to hone their acting skills. In their previous life, Shen Yu and Tao Mu joined the group at the same time, and both were newcomers. In comparison, Shen Yu has more filming experience than Tao Mu. He is also an actor chosen by Director Xu, who claims that he can perfectly interpret the role by playing himself. In contrast, Tao Mu, who was forced in by relying on his family background and had little filming experience, was naturally rejected by the entire crew. Not to mention that during the filming, Yan Sheng was deliberately suppressing Tao Mu and severely suppressing Tao Mu's performance.

At that time, Shen Yu had the encouragement of the director, the tolerance of the entire crew, and the support of his colleague Tao Mu. He actively honed his acting skills every day and his performance was naturally wonderful.

But in this life, Tao Mu's acting skills have been amazing. He is a professional actor, chosen by the director, and can act directly with the best actor. The accumulation of all these halos directly crushed Shen Yu, the newcomer who joined the group with money, and made him useless. Shen Yu was under so much pressure that he couldn't even muster the energy to work hard. I just feel anxious. The more anxious you are, the worse your performance will be. The worse the performance, the more dissatisfied the director and crew will be. In this vicious cycle, Shen Yu, who came from a warm-house background, had no resilience like Tao Mu. For a moment, he was so frustrated that he gave up on himself.

Director Xu watched coldly and saw that Shen Yu was indeed not in the mood to film. I can only scratch my head and say "click".

It was already two o'clock in the afternoon, and no scene had been finished yet. The crew hadn't even had lunch, and the director was holding his breath, still trying to catch up with the progress. I can only discuss with Tao Mu whether we can bring up the scene between Tao Mu and Du Ze in the afternoon. It would be best if we can do it in one take so that we can have dinner after filming.

Tao Mu ate half a box of lunch while performing on the spot, but he was still able to hold on. Not to mention Du Ze. I finished my lunch while waiting for the show. The only people who were hungry in the entire crew were the director, the lighting staff, the cameraman, and Shen Yu.

Director Xu moved the shooting location with a grim face.

It is called a transfer, but in fact it just means moving the filming location from the interrogation room to the entrance of the police station. This scene is about Zhou Yuanting and a group of thugs being released. Zhou Yuanting was in a bad mood and had a gloomy face. It doesn't matter that Du Ze and his gang often go to the palace. When they came out of the police station, they were still arm in arm, talking and laughing, and discussing where to go for a midnight snack and a massage.

Ah Ze smiled and put his arm around Zhou Yuanting's shoulders: "You have made the greatest contribution today, so I'll let you choose the place. The gang will pay, and we will also eat and drink on public funds."

Zhou Yuanting waved Aze's shoulder away with an annoyed look on his face.

Ah Ze didn't mind, and approached him again, hooking his arm around Zhou Yuanting's neck and asking him, "What are you doing? The most important thing in life is to be happy. You'll get used to this kind of thing. We're all in this together, and everyone has been invited to have coffee by the police. This isn't your first time—"

I don’t know which sentence hit Zhou Yuanting’s sore spot. Zhou Yuanting pushed Aze away with a sullen look on his face, and even kicked him: "Get lost."

Aze was caught off guard and was hit. He took two steps back, holding his chest. He was also angry: "What's wrong with you! Was it me who fucked your woman? Was it me who handcuffed you and scolded you like a dog? I treat you as a brother, what do you treat me as? Are you taking your anger out on me? Do you think you are still a cop?"

The extras playing the roles of thugs hurried forward to break up the fight. One is their leader, and the other is a popular member of the gang who is favored by the big guys. They don't want to offend anyone.

Zhou Yuanting had a stern expression on his face. He ignored Aze's words and suddenly turned around to look at the police station. Director Xu signaled the camera to move in for a close-up of the face. Under the high-definition camera, Zhou Yuanting's eyes were red, but his look was extremely cold. The dark eyeballs seemed to radiate coldness. He glanced at the police station and turned away. The back is resolute.

Aze and a group of thugs stood on the other side, looking at Zhou Yuanting's resolute back. He cursed in frustration. But he was still worried, and while scolding himself for being a cheapskate, he followed with his men: "Going over there is Causeway Bay, not our area. The little brat is running around everywhere, and he won't even know if he was hacked to death!"
