Chapter 120



“Aaaaaaaa——”

In the dark and gloomy torture cell, the underground party members who were tortured and interrogated have completely turned into a blood gourd.

The barbed leather whip dipped in salt water was whipped on the flesh and blood body again and again. As the whip flew, one could see tiny pieces of flesh and blood splashing.

Tie the person's legs to a bench and stuff bricks under their feet. As the bricks pile up, the bound knees are put under pressure and thrust, and eventually they can no longer bear it and break. However, because there were no external injuries, there would not be any fatal crisis such as infection.

"…but these legs are disabled." The R country officer shook his head with great regret. Looking down from a high place, Su Dingbang was so frightened that he went limp all over and collapsed to the ground.

"Mr. Su!" The R country officer leaned down slightly, looking at the man in front of him with pity. He was once a noble and high-spirited man, but now he was like a puddle of mud, lying limp at his feet.

He once said that all that fighting, killing, bloodshed and sacrifice was not suitable for these rich kids who only knew about romance and had never suffered.

The Japanese officer slowly raised one of Su Dingbang's hands. The originally slender and fair palm was covered with sweat and some dirty blood stains. "I heard that Mr. Su likes to play the piano very much. We have a kind of punishment here, which is to smash the sharpened bamboo sticks into the nails. I wonder if these hands can still play the piano when the time comes?"

The hand that was grabbed by the R country officer suddenly shrank and clenched into a fist. It seems that hiding your fingers in your palms can avoid those terrible things.

R A trace of contempt flashed across the eyes of the Japanese officer: Weak Chinese people!

He stood up and walked to the underground party member calmly: "Sir, I admire your will. Our Great R Empire appreciates talents like you the most. As long as you agree to surrender. I swear, you will immediately enjoy the best medical treatment. Glory, wealth, high position and generous salary will be at your fingertips."

"But if you insist on not changing your ways, we will use electric shock next." The Japanese officer glanced at the underground party member covered in bruises and said, "In your current state, if you sit on the electric chair, I'm afraid you will not be able to survive. However, before you die, you will endure the most unbearable pain in the world."

The underground party member was in so much pain that every breath he took felt like it was being torn apart. His whole body was convulsing. He knew he could not hold on any longer and he would definitely not be able to survive the electric shock. His eyes were lifeless, and he moved them slightly as he looked at Su Dingbang, who had collapsed beside him before being tortured.

He will definitely rebel.

The underground party member's lips were buzzing.

"What?" The Japanese officer came closer to the underground party.

"I surrender..." a faint voice sounded.

A hint of relief tinged with disappointment flashed across the eyes of this officer. He thought that this Chinese person had such a strong character. That's the result.

He stood up straight, and the adjutant handed him a towel to wipe his hands, and asked casually, "Name?"

The underground party did not answer. He just twitched all over, tears streaming down his face, and his lower lip trembled. But no sound came out.

He was truly ashamed of his defection.

The officer did not speak. He waited patiently until the underground party member calmed down and asked again: "Name."

"...I need treatment." The underground party member swallowed hard, breathing weakly.

R Japanese officers saw this and were also afraid that the underground party would not be able to survive. He had no choice but to order his subordinates to take him to treatment, since he couldn't escape anyway.

The released underground party member was carried out of the interrogation room by R himself. When he passed by R's officer, everyone was on guard against him suddenly attacking. As a result, the underground party member was taken away obediently. Everyone subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that they were really going to surrender.

No one expected that when R himself was carrying the underground party member passing by Su Dingbang, the underground party member who had been behaving obediently suddenly jumped up, struggled hard to break free, and threw himself directly on Su Dingbang, holding Su Dingbang's neck tightly with both hands.

"Pull them apart!"

However, the underground party was too powerful and their obsession was even deeper. He actually wanted to kill R himself, but he couldn't let Su Dingbang live. This person is too weak-willed, he will definitely rebel. Then the organization will be in danger.

"Waste!" Seeing that a group of people were unable to separate the underground party and Su Dingbang with punches and kicks, and Su Dingbang had been pinched to the point of rolling his eyes. R The Japanese officer raised his gun in anger and fired two shots at the underground party.

The underground party member lying on Su Dingbang froze and loosened his hands. Before he died, he looked at Su Dingbang with regret in his eyes and his lips moved. But it was a silent apology.

He knew Su Dingbang was innocent. But at a time of national crisis, he could not let an innocent person survive and put the organization at risk of being exposed.

But there was nothing he could do.

Su Dingbang, who finally escaped death, crawled away from the underground party, covering his throat and coughing violently, sweating profusely and tears streaming down his face. He looked at his comrade who died with his eyes open with horror.

R The Japanese officer put down his gun with great regret: "What an admirable enemy. Send him to the mass grave to feed the dogs."

The Japanese officer took out a handkerchief and wiped his right hand, then walked up to Su Dingbang and smiled politely but ferociously: "Now, it's your turn."

"Cut!" The camera finally freezes on the R officer's tense and ferocious smile. Zhou Hong shouted "cut" with satisfaction, and the underground party members who were unwilling to die jumped up first, rubbing their hands and putting on their military coats. There's nothing I can do, it's too cold. The ground was dark and damp, and his old bones could not bear it.

My old cold legs are about to come back. So he was really in pain just now. It hurts so much that I'm sweating.

Makeup artists and assistants rushed in, some touching up makeup, some bringing hot water. Gou Rixin helped Tao Mu up and put a military coat on him. But Tao Mu walked to the monitor thoughtfully and watched the replay over and over again.

He doesn't look very good.

Even though he is the best actor, we can only say that his acting skills are above average. If we really talk about acting skills, I may not be able to beat the veteran actors who have been acting for many years, often create classic characters, and are even included in Beijing Film Academy textbooks, but are too lazy to publicize various awards.

Tao Mu's current situation is similar. His acting skills are indeed above average, but that's all. Even the talented Wen Bao, who is just a freshman in college, can outshine him when he is having a blast, not to mention the veteran actors who have already integrated their acting skills into their bones and have mastered the art to perfection.

And the most criticized thing about Tao Mu's acting is that he is too serious. As the saying goes, it's too much of a hasty act. This kind of acting would be enough for ordinary actors or scripts. But if you come across a legendary drama like "The Great Wall of Flesh and Blood" which has been broadcast in rotation for ten years and still has a viewership rating of over 1, and is hailed as the most classic anti-Japanese war drama and a milestone in anti-Japanese war dramas, then it's a bit not enough to watch.

What's more, Tao Mu's joining means that the crew no longer has any pressure on filming funds. Since there were no worries, some incompetent actors who were stuffed in by the investors were driven away. The remaining ones are basically veteran actors who are striving for perfection and enjoy acting.

In this case, Tao Mu's deliberateness was like a public execution under a magnifying glass. It's really horrible to be compared with the veteran actors. It doesn't seem natural no matter how I look at it. Handsome but greasy.

Tao Mu squatted in front of the monitor and watched the video repeatedly. Zhou Hong sat next to him with his legs crossed and asked with a smile: "Another one?"

Tao Mu pondered for a moment and said, "Wait for me for a moment."

Then, Tao Mu quietly walked out of the set. Zhou Hong thought Tao Mu wanted to go out for a while and didn't care.

Only Gou Rixin followed him out. He saw Tao Mu going further and further away, and actually ran to a deserted place. He took off his military coat, and only wore the shirt and trousers he wore during the photo shoot, shivering in the winter in the first month of the year.

"Tao Mu!" Gou Rixin ran over disapprovingly and was about to put the coat on Tao Mu.

"Shh!" Tao Mu signaled Gou Rixin not to shout: "Go get me a bottle of mineral water, it has to be cold."

"You are asking for death!" Gou Rixin frowned fiercely.

"I'm young and energetic, I won't die." Tao Mu urged Gou Rixin to get a bottle of mineral water, and then poured the water on his head. When the northwest wind blows, it makes people's head hurt. Tao Mu stood outside for more than half an hour before he walked back to the set with a purple face and trembling.

The acting skills are not good enough, but the condition is just okay. To some extent, this is also the inspiration given to Tao Mu by Mr. Chen Jianguo, who plays the underground party member.

When Tao Mu came in from outside with a chill, the whole set was silent. Basically, anyone with eyes could see what Tao Mu wanted to do.

How cruel!

Several veteran actors looked at each other without saying a word. The lighting and camera staff quickly took their positions, and Zhou Hong immediately signaled to start filming.

The same plot, the same role, this time Tao Mu is in good shape and is no longer the background board.

He looked at the underground party members who were tortured to a bloody mess and was so scared that he didn't even dare to look over there. However, he was still trembling all over when he heard the screams of his comrades. His face was ashen, and he was trembling with fear from deep within his heart.

When the Japanese officer grabbed his wrist and threatened him, he tried his best to retract his right hand, and his movement was so big that he almost broke free from the Japanese officer's restraints. The veins on his clenched fist were exposed, and even from the frequency of his shaking, one could tell that this person was fearful and terrified.

The scene where he was strangled by the underground party was even more classic. Teacher Chen Jianguo used both hands to tightly pinch Su Dingbang's neck. Tao Mu held Teacher Chen Jianguo's hands with both hands, seemingly pulling them down hard, but in fact he was pinching his own neck secretly, pressing his thumb on his throat, and really pinching himself so hard that his eyes rolled back. Teacher Chen Jianguo was so scared that he kept padding it with his little finger. As the two struggled and interacted, one was so anxious that he was sweating, and the other two were so depressed that their faces turned purple. The tension of life and death farewell was immediately apparent.

Finally, after the underground party member was shot and killed, Su Dingbang covered his neck and crawled out from under the underground party member. He covered his neck with both hands, knelt on the ground with a hunched body and coughed violently. Because the indoor temperature of the studio was higher than that outside, there was an electric heater in a place that the camera could not see to keep warm. Under the alternating hot and cold, Tao Mu actually wanted to sneeze. But he can't fight. So he opened his mouth wide and sniffed hard, his eyes turned red, the whites of his eyeballs were full of red blood, tears flowed from the corners of his eyes, and his nose was about to run. He was gasping for breath, his whole body shaking uncontrollably, his eyes staring at the underground party member who was dying, retching and unable to speak.

Zhou Hong really didn't expect that Tao Mu could be so transformed after such a trip, just like he had broken through the bottleneck and was reborn in Nirvana in the cultivation world. He was so excited during the filming that he almost cried out in admiration, with close-ups one after another, from the face to the hands, to the whole body, even the heels curled up when he hunched over looked particularly dramatic.

It’s amazing!

It's as refreshing as drinking a glass of cold beer in the dog days of summer or eating a hotpot in the coldest days of winter.

When Zhou Hong clapped his thigh and shouted "cut", the entire crew couldn't help but applaud. Tao Mu couldn't help but sneezed seven or eight times in a row. Gou Rixin rushed into the set holding a tissue and a military coat. When Tao Mu blew his nose, he was shivering with cold. The hand holding the tissue looked like he had Parkinson's disease, his face was red, and his whole body was shivering.

Still unable to hold back the coughing.

Teacher Shao Ming, who played the role of an R officer, hurried over with his own thermos cup filled with a large cup of isatis root and asked Tao Mu to drink a few sips.

"Have you caught a cold?" Teacher Shao Ming reached out and touched Tao Mu's forehead. It was icy cold and covered in sweat.

"It's okay." Tao Mu blew his nose without any image, and muttered: "I'll go back and drink a cup of instant powder, cover myself with a big quilt and have a good sleep. I'll be fine tomorrow morning."

As a result, Tao Mu was not well at all the next morning. With a fever of 39.3 degrees, Zhou Hong wanted to give Tao Mu a day off to let him rest. Tao Mu didn't do it himself.

He insisted that he was in very good condition now, which was particularly suitable for the scene where he was shot to death by the male protagonist.

When he arrived at the set in his military coat and waited for his scene, Tao Mu, who was breathing heavily and blowing his nose continuously, and whose nose was red, was still curled up in a lounge chair and tried to have fun: "I think my current state is particularly suitable for playing a consumptive opium smoker. Hey, what do you think if the nobleman Su Dingbang became a heavy smoker Su Dingbang, and was finally shot dead by the male lead, wouldn't it be particularly dramatic?"

Tao Mu was just talking casually, but screenwriter Fan, who was passing by, seemed to be thinking about something. I immediately called the original author. After some communication, they decided to change the play——

Su Dingbang, who finally betrayed the enemy under R's torture, almost died. During the treatment, he became addicted to morphine. On the one hand, he wanted to bear the pain, and on the other hand, he couldn't get over this hurdle, so he started smoking opium to numb himself.

Later, when R himself used Su Dingbang as bait to lure the male protagonist to appear, he was willing under the temptation of opium. However, in the end, the ending where Su Dingbang, who was supposed to die at the hands of the male protagonist, committed suicide by swallowing opium after hearing the male protagonist's message that the Su family had been destroyed.
