Chapter 195 Evil and Desire for Control
"Fuck, it's actually turned on?"
“This is too low-key.”
"It's a familiar rhythm. That one is called 'Hidden Murderer', and this one is called 'Hidden Corner'?"
"I'm drunk too. Does Yu Xiaoshu really want to be so stubborn???"
"I remembered that Yu Xiaoshu decided to watch The Undocumented Crime after watching Dead Men Tell No Tales."
…
Everyone was still a little surprised about the start of filming of "The Hidden Corner" today.
It's really too fast.
After all, "The Hidden Corner" was recruiting actors a few days ago, and it seems that no names were announced at that time.
Who would have thought the result would be?
It started directly today.
That's a bit too fast.
And it has such a name.
The confidentiality measures are in place.
In addition, there are the actors of "The Hidden Corner".
This is all outdated.
Gao Suhua is almost becoming a marginal figure in the entertainment industry. As for Han Caier, she was directly banned on a small scale. These two female artists are basically has-beens.
The entertainment industry is so cruel. No matter how glorious you once were, once you are out of fashion, you will naturally become worthless, and no one will even mention you.
Let’s not talk about the distant past. It has been more than 6 months this year, but there is no news about Gao Suhua. The media is always looking for exposure. Who would report on her at this time? ?
Without any traffic, naturally no one will report it.
This is what Gao Suhua is like.
The same is true for Han Caier.
When "The Vengeful Knight" was banned because of Han Rong, a copper-fetishist, many people didn't even report on Han Caier.
Obviously, he had completely forgotten about Han Caier.
That's not right either.
We cannot say that it has been forgotten, after all, Han Caier's works are quite good. To be precise, it should be said that it has been abandoned.
Without works, insufficient exposure, and insufficient traffic, it has become outdated at this point, and naturally it will not be discussed by everyone.
It's meaningless.
Just think about it, these two outdated artists actually participated in "The Hidden Corner", what is the purpose? ?
Could it be that Yu Xiaoshu wants to turn stone into gold again?
But how easy is it to turn stone into gold? ?
Apart from these two, there are three child stars.
Cao Rui, Yan Ming, Zou Feng, these three young artists basically played supporting roles before, not many people know them, and they are not very popular. But these three people were announced as the final actors in “The Hidden Corner”.
This is too... uninfluential.
The five main actors of "The Bad Kids" are basically out of date and have no reputation. If it weren't for the trust in Yu Xiaoshu, everyone would think that such a lineup would be a failure.
After all, considering the casts of the four works "I Am Yu Huanshui", "The Undocumented Crime", "The Rumored Chen Qianqian" and "Hard Candy", everyone thinks it's better to wait and see.
Of course, at this time, there were only two main actors that everyone was discussing.
One is Lin Feiyang. Needless to say, Lin Feiyang regained his popularity by starring in the two online dramas "I Am Yu Huanshui" and "The Undocumented Crime". Now he is working with Yu Xiaoshu again, which is naturally full of expectations.
The second one is of course Feng Jie.
However, netizens were not calling Feng Jie, they were calling Li Toyota.
"Oh my god, Li Toyota is going to show up again."
"Brother Toyota is great, is he another murderer this time?"
"I was actually hoping to be a murderer. The character he played in The Undocumented was really too addictive."
"There's nothing else to say, I just hope the plot won't disappoint us."
"Just relying on Brother Toyota, I want to take a look too."
…
Online, discussions about this issue are quite heated.
After all, to be honest, "The Undocumented Crime" has not been out for long, so naturally everyone is still immersed in the fear of being dominated by Li Toyota.
This is the norm when a role is played too well.
The audience may not know who Feng Jie is, but they definitely know who Li Toyota is.
For this reason, many viewers at this time really became interested in "The Hidden Corner", and everyone wanted to know whether Lin Feiyang and Feng Jie would perform again.
On the other hand, "Hidden Corner" continued filming.
After filming the morning stall scene, everyone went to school.
Before that, strict markings were made on what to shoot first and what to shoot later.
In the original novel, it is basically full of evil, and the character Ye Chimin is truly a "white lotus" in the original novel.
At the very beginning of the novel, Ye Chimin framed Zhu Chaoyang repeatedly. First, she falsely accused Zhu Chaoyang of breaking the lens of her camera, and then she deliberately poured tea on herself, saying that Zhu Chaoyang was taking revenge on her.
Not only that, she was so eager to perform that she went to the class teacher in tears, just to force Zhu Chaoyang to "confess", otherwise she would call his parents and even threaten to not allow him to take the exam the next day.
Her purpose was to make Zhu Chaoyang feel depressed and fail in the exam the next day.
That's right.
The character of Ye Chimin in the original novel and the web drama can be said to have been completely turned upside down.
In the original novel, Ye Chimin is a white lotus. Everything she does is to make Zhu Chaoyang fail the exam. More importantly, Ye Chimin's father is always concerned about her grades, and she is even more afraid of her father asking about her grades.
There are actually a few places in the original book that are quite obvious.
For example, in one of them: "Ye Chimin took out several test papers from her schoolbag and handed them over carefully. Ye Jun opened her test paper, looked through it, and his eyes fell on the last math test paper. The total score of the math paper was 120, and the score on the paper was only 96.
"Why did you get so many wrong answers?" He put down the test paper and pointed at the bright red ninety-six.
"Yes... Math was particularly difficult this time, and the other... other students didn't do very well either."
"What place did you get in the exam?"
"Top ten in the class."
"What's your grade?"
“The grades weren’t ranked this time.”
"How much did Zhu Chaoyang in your class get in the exam?" She didn't dare to lie in front of her father, so she had to tell the truth: "He...he got full marks."
Ye Jun couldn't help but ask, "You can't be so different from others, right?"
Ye Chimin paused, and after a few seconds, tears rolled out like Lanzhou ramen.
…
Well, although many people see the so-called Lanzhou ramen when they see this, but in fact it can be seen here that Ye Chimin hates Zhu Chaoyang for a good reason.
Other people's children are always good.
In the original novel, Zhu Chaoyang has always been ranked first, and Ye Chimin's father said that about Zhu Chaoyang, it would be strange if Ye Chimin didn't lose his temper.
But after the adaptation, Ye Chimin no longer had the evil side of a child. All she wanted to do was study hard and surpass Zhu Chaoyang. Even her father was no longer harsh on her, but instead often advised her that second place was also good.
Let’s put it this way, Ye Chimin should be the only normal child in the web drama.
Yu Xiaoshu did not deliberately choose the child who played Ye Chimin. She used an amateur student who happened to be in the second grade of junior high school and could play the role perfectly according to his true self.
The school scenes were filmed over two days.
Currently, the only one among the three children who has not started filming yet is Pupu.
In the web drama, Pupu has actually been beautified a lot. Although she is quite smart, she has a bit of kindness and not that many evil sides. She and Yan Liang escaped from the welfare home in order to raise 300,000 yuan for surgery for Pupu's younger brother. This is also the theme throughout the whole drama. This money becomes the subject of a game between the three children and Zhang Dongsheng.
In the play, Pupu's parents are both dead, and only his younger brother is alive. In order to keep him alive, Pupu is very obsessed. From the perspective of saving his relatives, people's first impression of Pupu is pity and compassion.
But it’s different in the original book.
In the original book, Pupu and Ding Hao escaped from the welfare home not to raise tuition for Pupu's younger brother. On the contrary, Pupu's father killed his wife and son. However, Pupu firmly believed that his father was innocent.
At the same time, Pupu escaped from the welfare home because of what happened to her and Ding Hao in the welfare home, and more importantly, Pupu was bullied by the director.
…
This is what Pupu and Zhu Chaoyang said in the original book. After all, Pupu was still young and didn't understand what was going on. As for Zhu Chaoyang, he even asked why he had to stuff it in his mouth.
Of course, only Ding Hao understood a little.
Pupu's experience is indeed worthy of sympathy, but at the same time, the young Pupu has an extremely evil side.
For example, after Zhu Chaoyang talked about Wang Yao, Pupu expressed his desire to vent Zhu Chaoyang's anger.
Ding Hao, who is Yan Liang in the play, thought about beating her up, or carrying her into a trash can to scare her, but Pu Pu sneered: "Is that enough? It's better to strip her naked and throw her clothes into the toilet pile of shit."
The vicious look on his face was obvious even at such a young age.
After all, this is related to Pupu's experience.
So, in comparison, Pupu in the play is actually very kind.
How to say it?
If the film was only based on the original novel of "Bad Kids", it would definitely not pass the review.
I won’t talk about the other clips, let’s just talk about the one about juvenile delinquency.
This is what is written in the original book.
…
"Children who commit crimes will not be shot." Zhu Chaoyang repeated stupidly. He was absent-minded for a while, then suddenly jumped up from the ground, ran to the bookshelf, and pulled out the book "Social Politics" from a pile of textbooks. He quickly turned to the page he remembered. After confirming it several times, he turned to look at Pupu and grabbed her excitedly, "I'm not yet fourteen years old, I'm not yet fourteen years old!"
Pupu was puzzled and asked, "So what?"
Zhu Chaoyang said repeatedly: "If you are under the age of fourteen, you have no criminal capacity. I don't have to bear criminal responsibility!"
Ding Hao (Yan Liang in the play) came back to his senses from the game, turned around and asked, "What do you mean?"
"Even if the police find out that I did it, it's okay. I won't be fourteen until January next year. It's okay if I commit a crime now!" Ding Hao shook his head in disbelief. He calculated and said, "I still have four months to go before I turn fourteen, and Pupu will be two years later. If you say so, it's okay for us to go out and kill people on the street."
…
Do you think a web drama dares to act like this?
Forget about web dramas. If you dare to write something like this in online novels, do you believe you will be reported immediately? ?
But that's the reality.
Think about the news about some little beasts killing people, and some little beasts even molesting children. There will be no problem with these people.
Because the juvenile protection laws often protect little beasts.
In fact, what do some 13-year-old little beasts not understand? ?
But there is no way, they have a golden medal of immunity from death.
The dark side of some minors today is also quite terrifying.
This is also the reason why the original book is called "Bad Kids".
Remember how the saying goes?
Some people's children are just children.
And some people's children are beasts.
Yu Xiaoshu is unlikely to make major changes to the character of Pupu in the web drama, but she is prepared to let Pupu occasionally show a side that is inconsistent with his age. At the same time, she is prepared to touch on the story of being molested in the welfare home.
Two things can make the character of Pupu more three-dimensional.
After two days of filming, Zhang Yi is preparing to officially shoot the scenes for Zhu Chaoyang, Pupu, and Yan Liang today.
But let’s take a photo of Zhu Chaoyang first.
After all, it's still daytime.
"The Hidden Corner, Scene 15, Time 1, Shot 1."
The staff clapped their hands and said, "Aunt Aike!"
In this scene, Zhu Chaoyang left Yan Liang and Pupu at home overnight, and when he woke up the next day he prepared to go out to buy some food.
The camera first focused on Pupu who was sleeping soundly on the bed, then on Yan Liang who was sleeping on the floor under the bed, and finally on Zhu Chaoyang.
At this time, Cao Rui slowly opened his eyes, then tiptoed to the door. He was about to leave, but suddenly changed his mind.
He came to his mother's room and put away her wallet. After all, there were some jewelry in it. But when he reached the door, he paused again. He took out a strand of his mother's hair from the comb and pressed the wool against the crack of the door, so that if the door was opened, the hair would fall to the ground.
It can be said that this scene is all silent, and Cao Rui needs to show Zhu Chaoyang's caution and carefulness.
"Card!"
Zhang Yi sat in front of the machine and watched Cao Rui's performance and called out "Cut," "Xiao Rui, you're not in the right mood."
Before Cao Rui could say anything, Cao Xiao rushed to Cao Rui and yelled, "What's going on? Didn't you say you had memorized the script? How come you can't act well? You disappoint me so much..."
Cao Rui didn't say a word.
The other people in the crew were a little stunned, because in the past two days everyone had more or less witnessed Cao Xiao's desire for control, it was simply horrible, even how many bites Cao Rui took and what dishes he ate had to be controlled.
Every time the game was over, Cao Xiao would scold Cao Rui, and he would do so as if he was the only one around, without caring about the child's self-esteem at all.
"Let him out."
This time, before Zhang Yi finished speaking, Yu Xiaoshu spoke first.
