It was actually very hot on the set, but we were not filming in the summer, so the people in the movie were not wearing too little.
At this time, there was no director named Han Zhou on the set.
There was only a tall, thin, long-haired young man named Lu Shouyi standing outside the crowd.
A large group of patients gathered together.
The crowd was excited.
Everyone is protesting that drug prices are too high.
This medical representative is exactly the same as the regional manager of Ansheng Group in terms of dress and appearance.
At this time, the people around Lu Shouyi were so excited that they started cursing.
Lu Shouyi patted the shoulder of the person next to him and handed him the dung bucket.
After the people next to him took the dung bucket, Lu Shouyi walked out of the crowd and went far away.
Medical representative: "Everyone, be quiet, be quiet!"
"I understand everyone's feelings, but we have no other choice."
"Research drugs are so expensive, we can't possibly sell them at a loss, right?"
Someone in the crowd shouted, "Your research costs for the drug have already been recovered. Why are you still selling it at such a high price? Aren't you just trying to make a huge profit?"
Medical representative: "Is this a huge profit? Our pricing has been very considerate of everyone. We..."
Bang!
The grumpy old man grabbed a handful of poop and threw it directly into his face.
There were all kinds of sounds in the crowd, including curses and cheers.
The pretending to be polite pharmaceutical representative shouted: "Security, security, get out! What the hell is he doing? Take him to the police station!"
Lu Shouyi, who was far away, showed a very complicated expression.
There is despair because the protests have not, as expected, achieved any results.
It was dull because Lu Shouyi knew very well that protesting was useless.
There is disdain and contempt, because the way the medical representatives put on a saintly look deserves such an expression.
There is also contemplation and helplessness.
At this time, the phone rang.
Lu Shouyi didn't pay much attention to the call and answered the call with the big brick phone.
When he heard Cheng Yong on the other end of the phone asking whether it was reliable to bring the medicine.
All the expressions on Lu Shouyi's face disappeared.
Chen Xiaoyong saw the light in Lu Shouyi's eyes through the lens.
It is truly seeing the light.
It is difficult to act out, at least Chen Xiaoyong has never seen anyone perform such an effect.
In fact, this is not acting, but an expression.
Han Zhou studied a lot of eyes that could make people see the light, and also studied a lot of expressions of disappointment, annoyance and helplessness.
The two most typical ones were both seen on short video websites in my previous life.
A prank show crew arranged a plot.
There was a surveillance camera in the supermarket, but the footage broadcast on it was a real-time edited video.
When a customer comes here to pay, a 'Grim Reaper' will approach him.
Customers would find it strange to see such strange clothes.
But some people will turn their heads and see the conspicuous surveillance footage from the front.
The surveillance footage is processed in real time, and there is no sign of the Grim Reaper.
The other customers and store clerks would pretend not to see the Grim Reaper.
For foreigners who believe in this, this scene is very interesting.
One of the customers, after discovering that the god of death was looking for him, was stunned for a moment, and then his expression was mixed. It would be difficult for any actor to perform that expression.
There was a sudden sense of relief and relaxation, as if all the things in the world finally had nothing to do with him anymore.
There are regrets, many things are not yet completed.
I feel lost because I haven’t had time to say goodbye to many people.
There are many, many very obvious emotions that can be seen directly from facial expressions.
The second picture shows a veteran of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. His eyes are cloudy and his health is not good, so he can only sit.
But when the reporter asked him about his time in the army as a young man.
A light suddenly appeared in the old man's eyes.
Han Zhou had a lot of expressions like this in his mind, and he studied them one by one.
Don't express these emotions with facial expressions yourself.
Instead, just try to complete these expressions.
I practiced it over and over again in front of the mirror and finally got it right.
The transformation of Lu Shouyi before and after is the seamless connection between these two expressions.
For other actors, it would not be easy to perform these two actions.
Generally speaking, when actors are acting out tears of pain, they like to recall the sad and bad things in their lives, and when they are acting out joy, they will recall the best things in their lives.
To achieve these two extreme expressions, one needs to replay the most tragic things in one's life in one's mind at one moment, and then ask these images to go away in the next moment, and then immediately recall every beautiful moment in one's life.
The day you get married, when your child is born, the first time you get 100 points on an exam, the first time you eat your favorite food in your life, the first time you see the girl you love in your life.
If there is an actor who can perform in this way and switch between these two extreme expressions, then it can definitely be said that he can display Oscar-level acting skills at any time.
Han Zhou's method was a little tricky, but the effect was the same.
Many young actors at the scene were dumbfounded.
How come the gap between people is bigger than that between people and dogs?
The veteran actors were also stunned. Oftentimes, only two or even three best-selling actor-level actors acting together and stimulating each other's desires can bring out this level of performance.
And Han Zhou was shooting close-up shots by himself, and he was actually able to pull off such a terrifying performance??!
Cheng Yong's actor Qiao Anshan was silent at this moment.
He finally understood why Xie Fu asked Han Zhou, whom he had only known for two years, to take care of him, an actor who had become famous in the drama club and was renowned for his acting skills.
However, Qiao Anshan's desire to win was also aroused.
If you are strong, then I must be stronger and more powerful!
At the scene, the person who was most shocked was Wang Chuyang.
Wang Chuyang has almost given up singing over the past year. Apart from company arrangements and official activities, he does not sing in his daily life and has been studying acting.
At school, Wang Chuyang is praised by teachers of various subjects as a "natural talent" and "a gift from the ancestors" every day, so he is very satisfied with his acting skills.
Wang Xiya once criticized Wang Chuyang: "You have been studying for more than a year, and the teacher praised you as 'the master's gift'. Do you think it's great?"
"When Han Zhou made his debut in his first film, the critics commented that 'God is chasing him and forcing him to eat, even if he doesn't want to eat'. You can experience it yourself."
This time, Han Zhou originally wanted to choose an older actor to play Huang Mao.
But I also feel that this outstanding role is best played by one of my own people.
After much thought, I felt that I could give Wang Chuyang a chance.
Don't you want to be an actor? If you can't play the role of Huang Mao well, then forget about it in your life.
After several inspections, Han Zhou felt that Wang Chuyang had met the requirements for playing Huang Mao, so he let Wang Chuyang play Huang Mao.
On the set, it was the first time that Wang Chuyang watched Han Zhou film a movie instead of a TV series, and for the first time he felt the meaning of the phrase "worlds of difference".
I am already at the top of the pyramid among my classmates.
The gap between himself and Han Zhou was like the gap between a mud pit and white clouds in the sky.
While filming other characters, Wang Chuyang was practicing privately, over and over again.
In order to avoid affecting his thinking on how to perform the plot and to eliminate all distractions, Wang Chuyang memorized all his lines.
Then Wang Chuyang learned that Han Zhou could recite these lines by heart after reading them once.
Wang Chuyang felt even more pressure.
He continued to devote himself to training, and often rehearsed with the actor who would be acting opposite him.
Logically, everyone should have already mastered the lines before filming, and there is no such thing as rehearsal.
But after Wang Chuyang did this, no one objected and they were very cooperative.
Because they also want to become proficient and perform better.
In the same movie, if someone else plays the role as if they are the character, but you act fake, how will the audience see it? How will they say?
Everyone has a scale in their heart.
It's like a great player raises the level of competition and makes everyone in the same generation rise to the same level.
Han Zhou's performance in the crew raised everyone's state of adjustment, adaptation, and seriousness by more than one standard.
In the crew, for example, the actor who played Zhang Changlin simply did not remove his makeup and dressed up as Zhang Changlin every day. Even when he left the crew to go out for dinner or drink beer at night, he still pretended to be Zhang Changlin.
Everyone on the crew even gave up their own names and called each other by their character names.
One day during filming, Han Zhou finished a scene, looked at the sun, and cut a watermelon with his own hands: "Old Jia, have a piece."
Zhang Changlin ignored him.
Han Zhou was puzzled, thinking that he didn't hear it, and shouted: "Lao Jia, eat watermelon!!"
Still didn't look back.
Wu Li, the 'Officer Cao' next to him, patted Zhang Changlin on the shoulder and said, "Zhang Changlin, Director Han is calling you."
Zhang Changlin turned around abruptly, and looked at Wu Li with a look that was three parts evasive, three parts cunning, and four parts thoughtful. However, all of this disappeared in just a moment, covered up by his seemingly simple and honest character.
Han Zhou was stunned for a moment.
It would have been wonderful if this look had appeared in the scene when Zhang Changlin faced the police for the first time. It's a pity that such a good look was wasted!
'Zhang Changlin' ​​Lao Jia turned around and looked at Han Zhou: "Watermelon, I just like to eat watermelon, thank you, Lu Shouyi."
Han Zhou: “…”
What with what.
"My name is Han Zhou. Are you crazy?"
Zhang Changlin then said, "Ah? No, in order to get into the role, we privately addressed each other by the character's name. I didn't react for a moment. Sorry, Director Han!"
Han Zhou was happy: "Oh, you are very dedicated. It's okay. I support you in any way you act and prepare."
Han Zhou thought that this Lao Jia was pretty good and could be recruited to the company. After all, there were many middle-aged villain roles like this, and having such a good actor around would save a lot of trouble.
At this time, Wang Chuyang, the instigator, was accepting visits.
In front of the air-conditioned RV, Yuan Xiaomei found Wang Chuyang's appearance funny and peeled oranges for him while laughing.
Wang Chuyang tilted his head and glared at Yuan Xiaomei.
Yuan Xiaomei rolled up her sleeves: "Wang Chuyang, you dare to glare at me!"
Wang Chuyang was unhappy: "My name is Huangmao."
Yuan Xiaomei took action, and many people around came over and saw Huang Rong pulling Guo Jing's ears.
Yuan Xiaomei: "You're playing tricks on me, right?"
Wang Chuyang: "Ouch! It hurts! It hurts! It hurts so much! I am Wang Chuyang, I am Wang Chuyang, let go."
Yuan Xiaomei let go of her hand, and heard Wang Chuyang muttering softly: "Tigress, I am so blind..."
Seeing that there were many people watching around, Yuan Xiaomei pushed Wang Chuyang into the car and closed the door.
Then the people around heard screams.
"ah!!"
"Ouch!!"
"Hiss~"
"ah!!"
After a while, Yuan Xiaomei finished massaging Wang Chuyang's back.
Wang Chuyang lay down: "Oh, I'm so nervous about filming recently."
Yuan Xiaomei: "It's not like you haven't acted in a movie before."
Wang Chuyang: "You don't understand. Compared to Brother Han and his friends making movies, making TV series in the past was like playing house..."
Yuan Xiaomei: "Oh, the great movie star Wang is looking down on us TV actors so quickly?"
Wang Chuyang smiled apologetically: "That's not what I meant. I was talking about the quality of the workmanship."
"In my opinion, many shots are actually very good, but Han Ge said they are not good enough and need to be started from scratch and adjusted in various ways."
"Those shots that are considered classics in TV dramas are not even up to par in movies."
"Even if it takes half an hour to restore a scene and costs hundreds of thousands of dollars, if it's not possible, we will reshoot it immediately."
“The psychological pressure is so great.”
Imagine if Han Zhou said, "Wang Chuyang, your expression is not good. Stagehand, change the scene and reshoot."
After the calculation, it turned out that it would cost tens of thousands of yuan to redecorate the scene, and dozens of stagehands would be busy for half an hour, an hour or even longer to restore the scene. What do you think?
If you are an actor, you will feel that you are holding the crew back.
This is a common scene in movie shooting.
Because of this pressure, almost all the actors have been striving for perfection and performing at what they think is their best.
However, there were still a large number of shots that did not meet the standards and had to be re-shot.
You can imagine how well-made the film is after it is shot and edited.
This kind of pressure doesn't exist at all when acting on TV.
But Wang Chuyang knew that this was still good.
Movies can be started over, but if a stage play fails, it will be a complete failure. What should we do?
When chatting with Qiao Anshan, Qiao Anshan said in person that he once rehearsed a new drama and thought it would be the premiere in the troupe.
As a result, he was invited to perform at the National Academy.
As luck would have it, that day the senior leader received a foreign leader who loved drama, and arranged for them to watch it together.
The pressure that day almost made an awesome actor like Qiao Anshan pee his pants on the stage.
Wang Chuyang knew without hesitation that he was famous all over the country and people would call him "Brother Jing" wherever he went. He seemed to be a household name, but in fact, he was just an entry-level player in the acting field.
For many actors, the pressure and workload of acting are like a vacation.
Wang Chuyang and Yuan Xiaomei complained bitterly.
After a while, the two of them got out of the RV, and Wang Chuyang saw Wang Xiya standing at the door, and he was stunned.
Yuan Xiaomei stuck out her tongue: "Boss."
Usually Yuan Xiaomei calls Wang Xiya her sister. Wang Xiya said, "Stop being weird and go play."
Then he looked at Wang Chuyang and said, "Perform well. I heard Han Zhou praise you. It's not bad. Keep it up."
Wang Chuyang: "Then should we give some actual rewards? Verbal praise is too empty."
Wang Xiya smiled: "Don't force me to beat you."
Wang Chuyang: "Ha, ha, ha, ha, what are you thinking, it's not like you're talking about giving me money."
After laughing awkwardly, Wang Chuyang felt bitter. When will his salary be enough to live a life of luxury?
…
The crew was in the middle of filming, and Han Zhou really couldn't leave.
He didn't even attend the premiere of his own movie "Burning Sun".
I just recorded a video and said hello to the fans and critics.
On stage, host Mr. Tang asked Zhang Ceyong: "I heard that before filming began, you insisted on playing a policeman, and then regretted it after reading the script?"
Zhang Ceyong gnashed his teeth and said, "Let Tang Zhou get a big bargain."
Teacher Tang joked: "Are you referring to the passionate scenes of Xin Xiaofeng's character?"
Zhang Ceyong laughed: "Actually, Tang Zhou's Xin Xiaofeng played the role very well, but when I asked to play a policeman, Han Zhou set a trap for me, saying that I should not regret it after choosing it, and he would not change it."
"When I saw the character Xin Xiaofeng, I regretted it."
"However, the role of Yi Guchun is also very challenging. This movie was a lot of fun to shoot, and the finished film is also very good."
Teacher Tang joked: "Of course it was fun. On the first day of filming, we were using an excavator to rescue an excavator on the mudflats. Who doesn't know that?"
On the Internet in this world, the words "excavator saves excavator" have evolved into the same meaning and usage as "calabash brother saves grandfather" in the previous life.
When playing the game "Honghuang Tianxianjie", when teammates start to give up one by one at the beginning, someone will say: "Excavator, then excavator."
Therefore, almost everyone in the audience was unaware of this joke and they all started laughing.
Teacher Tang is indeed a strong host. Having him as the host of the electronic music premiere means Han Zhou basically doesn't need to worry about anything. The atmosphere has been set up almost before the show starts.
The story of this movie is actually not complicated.
The story goes that Xin Xiaofeng, Yang Zidao and Chen Bijue went out to play, and Yang Zidao's friend happened to be going to collect a debt, so the four of them went to a family's house near the reservoir to collect the debt.
When they entered the house, no one was there. Xin Xiaofeng found the hostess on the second floor who had just taken a shower and was not wearing any clothes.
A young man saw this scene, became horny, and raped the hostess.
But the hostess had a congenital heart disease and died during the process.
The three brothers were all confused, and Yang Zidao's debt collector friend, seeing this, simply killed the entire family, saying that this was a solution to the problem for the three of them.
Originally the three men were just young men from society. Xin Xiaofeng became a rapist because of his hot-headedness. Even if the mistress died, which was a serious crime, it had little to do with Yang Zidao and the others.
But when the whole family was killed, the nature of the situation changed.
After the four men took it out, Yang Zidao and Chen Bijue felt that their lives were ruined, so they attacked the murderer directly and threw him into the reservoir.
The three thought the murderer was dead and prepared to escape.
As a result, Xin Xiaofeng insisted on returning to the villa during the process.
Chen Bijue tried to stop him, but failed. Instead, he slipped and was pierced in the eye by a branch.
Xin Xiaofeng also went back, because after calming down he suddenly remembered that there was a baby in the villa.
If we leave, the baby will die.
Time came seven years later.
Xin Xiaofeng became an auxiliary police officer, Yang Zidao was a taxi driver, and Chen Bijue became a "fool".
The baby was called Little Weiba and was raised by three people.
At this time, Yi Guchun was transferred back to his hometown to serve as the captain of the criminal police team, and happened to partner with Xin Xiaofeng.
At this time, Little Weiba was found to have a congenital heart disease and needed surgery.
A series of events led Yi Guchun to suspect that Xin Xiaofeng was the murderer of that year's major homicide case, so he sought confirmation and tested the issue many times.
These things are intertwined, and Xin Xiaofeng is faced with a choice.
He decided to save the little tail first.
Because Xin Xiaofeng worked as an auxiliary police officer and had strong anti-detection capabilities, he thought of a way to avoid being tracked down.
Because the murderer of the major homicide case had raped the hostess, Xin Xiaofeng pretended to be a homosexual and got together with the designer from Taiwan.
Yi Guchun's doubts were also dispelled.
But on the other hand, Yi Guchun's sister Yi Guya met Yang Zidao by chance. She thought Yang Zidao was a good person and was very curious about him. After many contacts, she actually fell in love with Yang Zidao.
Later, Yi Guxia learned that Xin Xiaofeng was gay, and Yang Zidao, who had an extremely good relationship with him, must also be gay, so he decided to give it a try.
It turned out that Yang Zidao was not gay at all after the reaction.
When Yi Guxia went there, he secretly looked at his brother's investigation files and instantly understood that Yang Zidao, Xin Xiaofeng and the other two had committed a crime of annihilating the whole family.
After a series of events, Xin Xiaofeng was 'caught'.
Was executed.
Same as Yang Zidao.
Only Chen Bijue slipped away first.
If the story ended here, it would seem like there was nothing special.
However, not long after, a murderer was caught.
He was doomed to die because the case was so serious, so he revealed everything he had done as if showing off his trophies.
It was only at this time that Yi Guchun realized that the tragedy of the entire family was not committed by Yang Zidao and Xin Xiaofeng.
In fact, Xin Xiaofeng had already made the decision when Yi Guchun appeared.
He wanted to save Little Tail, but he didn't want Little Tail to remember him, nor did he want to be involved in Little Tail's life anymore.
He didn't want the girl he raised who called him "little daddy" to grow up to know that her "dad" was the murderer of his mother. He didn't want Little Weiba to know that he was raised by a criminal. He didn't want Little Weiba's life to be affected by his criminal behavior.
Therefore, Xin Xiaofeng and Yang Zidao fabricated a crime process and took the blame just to seek death.
The choice they made stunned many film critics at the scene.
Theoretically speaking, this matter has nothing to do with Yang Zidao.
Xin Xiaofeng is a criminal, but not as serious a criminal as the murderer who murdered a whole family.
But this is what the law says, and deep down, Yang Zidao and Xin Xiaofeng cannot convince themselves.
Because the murderer was Yang Zidao's friend, Yang Zidao decided to bring Xin Xiaofeng and the others to play with him, which led to all the subsequent events.
Xin Xiaofeng knew that the woman died of a heart attack, but he knew even more clearly that it was his own brutality that led to her death.
Even if the law gives me a light sentence, my heart cannot accept the torture of the sun.
I will never be able to walk peacefully in the daylight.
And all the questioning of their inner selves was due to their feelings for Little Tail.
Because of this incident, they could have simply become heartless prisoners and inhumane people.
But they can't do that. In the process of self-torture, they judge themselves.
At the same time, Chen Bijue made another choice.
From the very beginning, Chen Bijue felt that this matter had nothing to do with him. At most, he was an accomplice in debt collection, not an accomplice in murder.
In the midst of his inner torture, he did not feel that he should atone for his sins.
He felt that murder was not his fault, and that he and Xin Xiaofeng had already avenged the family by killing the murderer.
He had done his best to do what a human being should do, which was not to betray Xin Xiaofeng and Yang Zidao.
In the end, the movie gave a picture and everyone realized that Chen Bijue had been pretending to be stupid. In the end, he chose to hide his identity and leave.
That’s why this movie is called “Burning Sun”.
Different people have completely different choices when facing crimes and the law.
Under the scorching sun, which criminal could accept torture with a clear conscience?
After the movie was released, the critics were a little confused.
This is not Han Zhou's usual style.
Although Han Zhou once filmed Hello Mr. Tree, all his subsequent films have been commercial blockbusters.
Why are we starting to discuss human nature this time?
Moreover, this film's exploration of human nature can be said to be both shocking and brilliant.
Especially after watching the ending, thinking back to Xin Xiaofeng's performance when he was executing the death penalty, it was even more shocking.
However, this movie also has a huge problem.
That is, the protagonist is a bad guy!
Even though many of his later actions showed that he was a good person and his previous crimes were just impulse, it was this impulse that doomed him to never be called a good person.
Such a protagonist is very unfavorable to the dissemination and promotion of the film.
The movie could be slightly modified, for example, Xin Xiaofeng wouldn't be the rapist, but the murderer would be the rapist, and the three men just stopped the murderer, then killed him before starting their escape.
Then it would be logical to say that Xin Xiaofeng is a good person beyond the legal definition.
But why do it this way? Don't want to make money?
Some film critics thought of this and quickly shook off this idea, writing: "Han Zhou's setting of the script is very meaningful. Perhaps Han Zhou doesn't care whether "The Burning Sun" makes money, but he cares whether the burning sun really burns the heart."
Yes, for a good place, even if he can make money, Han Zhou will not change it because he doesn't want to make that money.
Han Zhou would change any bad parts, he had to change them!
Film critics have been hyping up "The Burning Sun" on the Internet.
Even if Han Zhou didn't pay them a penny, they were willing to promote it.
Because promoting good movies is their job. Although there is no money to be made, "Burning Sun" is worth it.
However, this movie, which was filmed by three of the most familiar faces to the entertainment industry audience, Han Zhou, Zhang Ceyong and Tang Zhou, did not attract many fans to watch it after it was not promoted.
Hardcore fans will still notice the movie, but casual fans won't notice it at all.
Two full weeks passed before "The Sun Also Rises" barely managed to gross 500 million yuan.
At this moment, a large number of press releases appeared.
"Han Zhou's first disastrous failure, new movie barely grossed 500 million in two weeks"
"Has Jiang Lang's talent run out? Han Zhou no longer has the appeal"
"Trying a new type of film, Han Zhou suffered his first disastrous failure in life"
"Han Zhou is not doing well, the movie box office is very poor"
This type of article took over major short video websites and news portals overnight.
Overwhelming.
Whenever I read the news, I feel as if Han Zhou is no longer good and is about to decline.
Why is there such a big news?
A superstar and an actor are the two main characters.
In addition, the actor Luo Daming who played Yang Zidao is also a middle-aged movie emperor.
With such an incredible lineup, and with Han Zhou writing, acting, and directing the film, the box office only reached 500 million.
In the eyes of many people, this is a good opportunity to push Han Zhou off the throne of commercial film master.
So the negative propaganda is everywhere.
However, this movie, which New World itself didn't know how to promote, suddenly became known to the audience.
"The Sun Also Rises" was almost halfway to being a flop, but suddenly it became popular.
"Han Zhou, you're such a jerk. You released a movie secretly without any promotion. Don't you want to make money from me?"
"Damn it, they secretly released the movie. If I hadn't seen the news, I wouldn't have known about it."
As a result, this movie, which had been released for two weeks, created the highest single-day box office during its release, 80 million on the fifteenth day .
The box office instantly increased from 500 million to nearly 600 million.
This is Han Zhou’s current box office appeal.
It’s just that Han Zhou hadn’t originally planned to make the call, but someone paid to help Han Zhou make the call.
After Han Zhou learned about it on the set, he just wanted to say: "6"
A movie that should not have been a subject of interest to casual moviegoers suddenly became famous.
Many people are praising this movie.
Logically, after a movie like this is taken off the screen, many casual moviegoers should watch it online and then exclaim, "Oh, I really regret not watching it on the big screen, it's a good movie" or "It's a really good movie, I didn't even know it was released at the time."
As a result, two weeks after its release, the film was suddenly discussed by passers-by moviegoers.
"It's a really good movie. Tang Zhou's performance is really wonderful. The execution scene shocked me."
"Hahaha, our Brother Yong has dreamed of becoming a policeman all his life, and this time he finally gets to play a detective."
"Han Zhou, a professional idiot, this time he played an idiot with a very high IQ but he has never shown it before."
"Ye Manyi made a huge sacrifice... Oh, the other party is Tang Zhou? That's fine."
There was so much discussion, which inspired many passers-by movie fans to watch the movie.
"The Sun Also Rises", which was originally expected to have a box office of around 700 million yuan, now has a chance of breaking 1 billion yuan.
Another smart person in the Beijing circle has been given the title of "not capable of accomplishing anything, but always causing trouble."
