Chapter 193: Filming continues with an important scene...
Chapter 193
Life in the mountains is long, and for Lin Yuan, filming is also a form of seclusion. He can't be in the public eye all the time, and he can only do commercial activities on his days off.
He Mian is similar to him.
The difference between He Mian and Lin Yuan is that He Mian's agency has a diverse staff, with agents divided into different factions. As the top manager in the company, He Mian also has the responsibility of mentoring newcomers.
Because he was popular for a long time, his company had several long-standing endorsements. As He Mian gradually became less active in the drama industry, the types of endorsements he had were changed compared to before, and these old endorsements were passed on to new people.
When the project "Double Blade" was first launched, He Mian's agency also wanted to add people to it, but He Mian refused directly. Later, Lin Yuan joined, and He Mian's agency wanted to do more, but ultimately dared not make any moves because of Lin Yuan.
He Mian at least still cherished old friendships, but Lin Yuan might not have a good impression of the people in his agency.
Everyone knows that Lin Yuan doesn't have a good relationship with the main cast members of Wink.
Before Lin Yuan gained his current influence in the entertainment industry, Ye Liuchuan was able to successfully return to the public eye. Now, Lin Yuan is highly sought after in the industry, and if he dislikes someone, it's just a matter of a word.
There were even quite a few people within He Mian's agency who opposed He Mian's collaboration with Lin Yuan, but He Mian blocked them.
Do we have the right to be picky now?
"Don't you even know whether it was me choosing Lin Yuan or Lin Yuan choosing me?"
He Mian rarely lost his temper, and only then did the internal criticism gradually subside.
He Mian is currently at the end of his contract. He can stay with the company or leave with his agent to go solo. The company is wary of him, but also wants to take advantage of his influence.
With He Mian's prestigious reputation, talent agencies can always gain an advantage when signing new artists.
However, the higher-ups were wary of him leaving, and starting last year, several projects that were interested in He Mian were thwarted by interference.
He Mian was gradually becoming impatient.
However, he is essentially a lazy person. If he were to open his own studio, there would be too many things to worry about, and He Mian would be too distracted. In addition, with the support of a management company, it would be better to compete for awards than to go it alone.
In this respect, He Mian somewhat envied Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan's luck with awards is exceptionally good.
Most importantly, Lin Yuan's acting skills are significantly superior to those of the other nominees. Even if the award organizers wanted to manipulate the process, it would raise a lot of questions.
After Lin Yuan won the Wall Prize, his luck with awards will likely improve even further.
He often faced situations where everyone was in a similar situation and the prize could be given to anyone, thus missing out on the big prize.
During the filming of "Double Blade", director Dou Youhui rarely praised Lin Yuan, but praised him more often. However, He Mian felt that it was because the director had absolute confidence in Lin Yuan's acting skills.
The director had no problem with Lin Yuan's acting skills.
The character Shen Yuan is more extroverted, so He Mian often puts on a very forceful performance. Lin Yuan, who plays Ye Li, is more reserved, but even when he is sitting still, he can create a strong atmosphere.
This is a capability he does not possess.
He Mian's strongest feeling was that his every move was following the camera, and he was acting for the camera, while Lin Yuan was not like that; the camera followed Lin Yuan.
Wherever Lin Yuan is, that's where the stage is.
Today, He Mian and Lin Yuan had a scene together.
In the script, Shen Yuan gets the position he wants, but the gang is divided into factions, and his faction is opposed to Ye Li's.
To maintain his position, he had to take action against the other party; Shen Yuan needed to establish his authority.
Years have passed, and no one knows that Shen Yuan and Ye Li were once best friends. They fought side by side and were also thrown into this hell at the same time.
Shen Yuan always believed that as long as he climbed higher, he would not face difficult choices, he could take revenge, and he could have the freedom he longed for.
But now, he still faces a choice.
So many eyes were watching him, expecting him to establish his authority, and among them lurked a look of suspicion—from beginning to end, some of his followers felt he was untrustworthy.
But more people doubt Ye Li.
Many people believe that Ye Li is an undercover agent and a traitor, but now, those people from back then are either old or dead, and very few people have evidence.
Even within a gang, one cannot act recklessly.
Ye Li became one of the targets for Shen Yuan to establish his authority.
"Is everything ready?" Director Dou Youhui asked in a lively tone.
Lin Yuan touched his nose.
He Mian knew he was about to complain again, so he gave Lin Yuan a look to be quiet.
Although—both of them felt that the director's liveliness was quite inappropriate.
The next scene to be filmed is Ye Li's heroic journey to her death. Is it really okay for the director to be so lively?
Isn't the bias against the character a bit too obvious?
Lin Yuan was thinking of having fun. Director Dou Youhui was a very kind person, but a bit long-winded. Before each scene was filmed, the director had a long list of preparations, and his energy was at its peak.
Lin Yuan strongly suspected that the other party was not tired at all.
"Give me an answer." The director was very dissatisfied with Lin Yuan and He Mian's cold response. "You two don't treat other people like this."
"He Mian, control your emotions," Dou Youhui reminded him. "You need to explode, but don't explode too much."
He Mian nodded slightly.
"Lin Yuan, you... don't get lost in your own world, give He Mian a response."
"Understood," Lin Yuan replied.
"Alright, let's begin!" Dou Youhui gave the order, and filming officially started.
Such scenes have appeared countless times since filming began for "Double Edge," and this time was no different from any other.
The only difference is probably the state of mind of the characters they play.
Shen Yuan slowly walked towards Ye Li, his face expressionless, only occasionally flashing with a fierce look.
As his status gradually rose, Shen Yuan was no longer the person who only knew how to fight and kill.
He showed no fear in his movements, but the people from Ye Li's faction opposite him were full of vigilance.
Nowadays, no one in the gang hasn't heard of Shen Yuan's name.
The fact that he dared to come all alone shows that he has already earned the position of faction leader. In the eyes of his subordinates, this is a testament to Shen Yuan's bravery.
But in reality, it was only because Shen Yuan knew that Ye Li wouldn't hurt him.
Now that the obstacles to Shen Yuan have disappeared, his identity is no longer an issue. The only one who could possibly leak the secret is Ye Li.
However, even though Shen Yuan doubted the whole world, and even though he no longer trusted Ye Li as before, he still knew that Ye Li would not betray him.
They were once in the same boat, they came to the entrance of hell together, pushed open the gates of hell together, and lived together in hell.
The days of constantly hiding one's identity and worrying about being exposed are undoubtedly painful, but because the other person is also there, the danger is shared by the two of them.
That feeling is much better than bearing it alone.
Even if you can't see the other person, just knowing that they are still alive gives you a sense of support.
This is the significance of Ye Li to Shen Yuan, and also the significance of Shen Yuan to Ye Li.
Then, a gun appeared silently behind Shen Yuan's ear; the person holding the gun was Ye Li.
The atmosphere at the scene immediately changed.
Ye Li remained expressionless, but a cold smile flashed across Shen Yuan's face. The next moment, Shen Yuan also raised his gun, aiming it at Ye Li's heart.
No one has fired a shot yet; we are currently in the deterrent phase.
The camera zoomed in so close that Lin Yuan and He Mian's pores were clearly visible, and the outline of the gun was accurately reflected in their pupils.
"Don't move," Ye Li whispered.
Ye Li said that, and Shen Yuan did not move. However, the next moment, a gunshot rang out in Shen Yuan's ear. A bullet grazed his ear, and blood immediately flowed down mercilessly.
Shen Yuan believed that this was a trap set by Ye Li for him.
His eyes immediately sharpened, and his gaze toward Ye Li was filled with shock. The subconscious reaction formed by so many years of crises made him point the pistol at Ye Li's heart.
By the time Shen Yuan realized what was happening, it was too late.
At the same moment, Ye Li's gaze turned to his back, where another person was pointing a gun at him.
Ye Li's bullet did not linger on him for a moment, but was quickly and accurately aimed at his back.
The moment the bullet pierced the man's chest, Ye Li also fell down.
Shen Yuan then realized what had just happened. His face, which no longer showed any pain, was now contorted in a grimace.
Blood gushed from Ye Li's body, and it was very hot.
Ye Li covered the bullet hole with his hand, and a lot of blood splattered on his hand. In that instant, Ye Li covered Shen Yuan's hand: "Shoot me again, give me a quick death."
His voice was as gentle as ever.
It reminded Shen Yuan of their time at the police academy. Ye Li had always been very gentle, and her smile was exactly the same as it was now.
Ye Li said she wants to live with her family, has a happy family, and live a good life. If she has children, she doesn't want them to suffer like this.
Gunshots rang out, but Shen Yuan seemed to hear nothing.
Ye Li's hands were much rougher than when she was in police academy, but the way she held his hand was still so gentle.
"No!" Shen Yuan heard his own hoarse voice scream.
He kept his voice very low, as if something was blocking his throat, preventing him from speaking loudly.
But Ye Li's popularity did indeed gradually decline.
Shen Yuan suddenly realized that Ye Li could have stopped him in that instant, but she didn't, because—
If Ye Li stops him, he will inevitably be unable to withstand the sniping from behind.
In the movie, this scene only lasts a few minutes.
But for Lin Yuan and He Mian, this scene was the one where their emotions erupted most intensely since the filming of "Double Blade" began.
Lin Yuan is used to playing roles like Ye Li.
As victims.
In "Mandala", Han Shen is both the avenger and the victim.
The moment filming began, the scene was set, and Lin Yuan knew what he had to do while interacting with He Mian.
Lin Yuan didn't have much trouble with the action scenes; the martial arts director had already given him hints before he started doing them.
"Just lie there like that, and shoot past He Mian." That's how the martial arts instructor demonstrated.
"clear."
Lin Yuan completed all the actions as instructed. Then, all he had to do was present Ye Li's inner thoughts to Shen Yuan.
Shenyuan has collapsed to the point where he wants to destroy the world.
Ye Li did not agree with his approach, so he did not follow the same path as Shen Yuan.
However, at the last minute, he decided to indulge Shen Yuan.
Shen Yuan then went ahead and did whatever he wanted, destroying everything he wanted to destroy.
Because this is a fucked-up world.
Let's just make it worse.
Shen Yuan wasn't the only one whose beliefs were destroyed; Ye Li's were also among those whose beliefs were shattered.
Perhaps he no longer wanted to live.
...
"That scene was filmed really well!" He Mian's agent had just finished his business and was passing by the film set when he saw He Mian and Lin Yuan's scene together.
According to his agent, this was He Mian's best performance since he started acting.
It greatly exceeded his expectations and even amazed him.
He Mian, however, did not show any joy on his face; he was probably still immersed in the play.
After a long pause, he sighed softly, "Just now, when I saw Lin Yuan's expression, I unconsciously brought it to life."
At that moment, he was truly possessed by Shen Yuan, completely immersed in the role.
However, it was not Shen Yuan as the gang leader, but Shen Yuan as Ye Li's friend.
Ye Li awakened that dormant source.
It was at times like these that he truly understood how terrifying Lin Yuan was.
