Global Movie Emperor

"Mr. Lu."

The prop team worker carrying the climbing frame beside him nodded and said hello to Lu Ze. He seemed to be very confident in his physical strength. There were still two bundles of wires hanging on the climbing frame. The wires had been swung to the edge of the hanging corner. If he hadn't discovered it again, It wouldn't take long for it to fall off. Lu Ze stretched out his hand to hold it up, then responded and told him to be more careful.

After passing through the crowds of people coming and going in the crew, helping from time to time, I finally walked to Kesha, threw the yellowed and damaged script on the table, sat next to Kesha, crossed his legs, and looked at the monitor. The filming process of Ding Zhiyi is shown here.

"How has he been doing in the last few days?"

"It's just like that, but better than Xu."

Kesha didn't look back. He looked at the monitor and answered Lu Ze's question. His brows were furrowed tightly. It was obvious that Xiao Ding did not bring out the best in the character. He only reached the minimum standard required by the director, which was far from satisfactory. Performed at a super level.

Ding Zhiyi's character does not have a plot with too much emotional fluctuations, but even so, he is a bit struggling. More than ten years of experience in filming romance films have exhausted his talent. Once he switches to other styles of movies, his performance will be It will be a bit difficult.

His level at this time is higher than many popular male stars of the same age or even older in China, but only compared to those male stars who can't even control their facial expressions well and can laugh as much as they cry, he is just the shortest. He's just a big guy. This is what Lu Ze regrets the most. He is obviously a good young man with unlimited potential, but he has wasted his time in a place where he should not stay.

His line skills are pretty good, his emotions are pretty good, and his control of movements and expressions is also remarkable. However, after looking at the thirteen moves over and over again, he had to come to an ordinary conclusion.

He has no shortcomings, but there is nothing outstanding about him. If he doesn't risk his life to catch up on what he has lost in the past ten years, he will only be reduced to a working-class actor in the future.

"Where is Wang Pushen?"

At this time, he was filming a scene opposite Ding Zhiyi. In terms of momentum, he steadily dominated Ding Zhiyi. There was also a big gap between the two in terms of strength. Lu Ze unscrewed the thermos cup and blew on the chrysanthemums floating on it. Ask Kesha again.

"He is a bit of a genius. Compared to other actors, he has retaken the most times. If you find an actor who has changed careers for several years, you will naturally need the crew to wait for him to regain the skills he has forgotten. But he is indeed a good actor. Actors strive for excellence. After several reshoots, they will definitely usher in an explosion and complete the shooting at a super high level. For actors like this, even if they are shot hundreds of times, I am still willing to wait. When the explosion occurs, I will always have the feeling I have the illusion that the actor on the scene is you, and the performance is always so pleasing to the eye."

No one would refute this. Lu Ze nodded happily. When he was filming "The Leader", he already knew that among all the actors, Wang Pushen was the strongest. However, due to an unexpected combination of circumstances, he was the strongest. He was so strong that he left the stage sadly.

"OK, let's pass this."

After speaking through the loudspeaker, the actor's energy was relieved and he returned to his seat to rest and prepare for the next performance. The staff came to arrange the props. Only then did Kesha withdraw his attention from the monitor and turned around to pick up the table. He handed one of his cigarettes to Lu Ze, and when he waved his hand, he put it in his mouth and lit it.

"After filming this scene, do you plan to stay in the UK? Or return to China?"

"It's useless to stay in the UK. The work on the new project will be completed by Mickey and Fatini. There's nothing interesting for me here. Let's go home and spend time with my family. Lucas doesn't plan to bring his wife to the UK? He We haven’t seen each other for more than half a year.”

"They...Lucas is going to go back sometime and complete the divorce procedures."

After thinking about it again and again, Kesha told Lu Ze the truth. After all, even if he didn't tell it now, he would know it later, and it wouldn't matter if he revealed it now.

Lu Ze was startled and looked at Lucas, who was not far away with a serious face and was adjusting the camera. Neither brother liked to laugh. It was as if the cold wave in Siberia had frozen the nerve endings on their faces. Judging from their faces, it was impossible to tell that anything had happened to the two of them.

Lu Ze also knew a little about Lucas's wife. She was a farmer's child with a low level of education. When she was seventeen, she married Lucas, who was about to join the army. She was hard-working, able to endure hardships, and loyal. , are all labels attached to her, and there are also negative comments, including vulgar conversation, violent tendencies, narrow cognition, and paranoia.

Lu Ze can guarantee that Lucas will not cheat and is emotionally honest. Then no one can judge whether the couple is right or wrong when they part ways.

A fisherman's net cannot catch seagulls, and even a few feet of soil cannot accommodate a lion. Even if a tiger is trapped in an iron cage, the tiger is destined to head towards the entire mountain forest.

The two of them didn't speak anymore, both thinking about the same problem. Choosing a spouse is a difficult problem for an actor or director. For people like them who often don't go home for more than half a year, no matter how much love they have, they will still be there. The endless waiting was slowly worn away.

"I'm going to play with Wang Pushen, please call me when I go on stage."

"good."

No more chatting, the two separated. This was Lu Ze's last scene, because Lu Ze's other scenes had all been adjusted forward. This situation is somewhat rare. As the male lead, he became the first to leave the crew. actor.

Returning to the small circle of Chinese actors, Ding Zhiyi and Xu Shuang were a little afraid to look Lu Ze in the face. Especially Xu Shuang, this girl who joined the film crew for the first time, was holding back the entire crew.

"It doesn't matter. You take your time. You can adapt to everything. As long as you work hard enough, you will definitely get results."

Lu Ze comforted the two of them. After all, they were scolded by Kesha a lot, but they were still up to par. Even though they were scolded in public and treated with strange looks by the crew, the two I have never shed a tear in front of others. I have made significant progress from the beginning of filming to now. Even if I am not capable, I have the guts to learn and be appreciated by others.

Afterwards, Lu Ze began to play with Wang Pushen, trying to arouse Wang Pushen's emotions before filming, trying to achieve an emotional explosion in the first shot. So far, the effect is very good, all the scenes with Lu Ze, Wang Pushen was able to cope with it very well and followed Lu Ze through it all, and his performance level was only slightly inferior.

"The actors are in place and ready to start filming."

After the notice was issued, Wang Pushen put on a white coat, a mask, goggles, and medical gloves, followed Lu Ze, entered the set, and stood in front of the set camera.

The scene was a rented laboratory of a local drug company in Liverpool. The silver laboratory was full of technology. There was an iron cage on the experimental table, and a fake orangutan was placed in it, just like the previous mechanical dog. It is a simulated animal customized by a technology company.

Originally, we planned to use a real orangutan to shoot this scene. After all, it is much easier for an orangutan to express emotions in an iron cage than a dog on the beach.

However, in recent years, animal protection organizations have become more strict about the protection of animals filmed in the film industry. Putting a live orangutan in a cage for filming is likely to result in a legal lawsuit from the animal protection association. Once the lawsuit is won, the crew will face huge compensation. Even the main creators are at risk of being sentenced. No one dares to bet on this matter.

But there are advantages. Faced with a machine that looks like an orangutan but is actually just a pile of steel, they can shoot the scene more cruelly and there will be no animal protection people to pursue it.

After the staff finished debugging the machine, Kesha waved, the recorder came on the scene, pointed the board at the camera, and made a crisp sound.

""Exile" Scene 42, Act 3, begin!"

With a long breath, the two of them instantly got into it, ignoring the camera, and started their performance. Lu Ze walked to the cage, put his palms through the railings, and stroked the top of its head.

Suddenly, its hair exploded, and its mouth revealed two fangs. Although its face was dull, the cursor was already set, and the special effects would make it look as ferocious as a fried orangutan.

Lu Ze was frightened and stopped his hand, but faced the frantic orangutan again, and slowly stretched his palm forward until it reached the top of the orangutan's head.

"Relax... little guy, I won't hurt you, just relax..."

It was really quiet until this palm touched the top of its head. Its black fingers lightly touched Lu Ze's palm, and then took it back like lightning. It seemed that this was all the trust it could give Lu Ze.

"We're not going to hurt you, you're okay, poor little guy, Professor."

Turning to look at Wang Pushen, he simply addressed him as an honorific. He expressed his understanding and took out a small DV from the cabinet. The camera rushed towards him and answered to the camera.

"Today is August 17, Wednesday. We continue to test the experimental effect of CRTV-3 reagent. The experimental subject is named "Bapa", a bonobo that is six months and four days old. Seven weeks ago, it was injected with the first A reagent, in the first week, it can quickly choose between green bananas and yellow bananas. In the second week, it can already do simple addition and subtraction within ten. In the third week, its IQ is no Improved again. Unfortunately, on Thursday of the third week, we found a tumor growing in his pituitary gland through Inject the second CRTV-3 reagent, wish us good luck, and wish Bapa good luck."

He set up the DV right in front of the experimental table and waved his hand for Lu Ze to get up. The moment Lu Ze got up, it became fierce again, staring at the professor coldly with hatred in its eyes. It was obvious that it already had hatred. human capabilities.

But you can't kill someone just by looking at him. The professor sneered in response and pressed the switch for drug injection. The air pump squeezed the transparent glass reagent tube. The milky white liquid flowed in the tube and finally passed through the body buried in Bapa's spine. The needle in the slit injected all the liquid into Bapa's body.

At first, there was no movement, until five minutes later, it began to feel uneasy and its body was shaking, but its hateful eyes always stayed on the doctor and never left.

Thirteen minutes later, it began to circle in the cage and tore off the infusion tube, but the needle was still firmly nailed into the body. The doctor put away the infusion tube and silently watched the restless animal in the cage.

Twenty minutes later, it began to whimper and wail. It lost all strength and lay in the iron cage like mud. No matter how much the professor shouted, it could not lift its head. Its eyes began to blur, and even the unforgettable hatred disappeared. It was gone again. If the electrocardiogram hadn't shown that all its indicators were good, Lu Ze would have thought that Bapa was about to die.

"Professor, that's it for today. The side effects are already obvious..."

"Any drug has side effects. If you take too much glucose, you may develop diabetes. In the experimental stage, we must see whether the reagent works and then think about solving the side effects."

Wang Pushen's spoken English is not very good and he has a very obvious Chinese accent, but it doesn't matter. Kesha has already found a voice actor. In fact, none of the three Chinese actors will have real voices in the movie.

"But this is really... too inhumane."

"Talk about humanity to talents. We are not killing innocent people indiscriminately. This is a drug experiment approved by the government. Think about how many innocent children we will help if the reagent is successful? I don't mind becoming an executioner in the eyes of animals. I only care about being able to Becoming a hero in the eyes of humans, Neo, tell me how it feels now."

"It's painful..."

"Anyone who's not blind can see that it's painful."

Lu Ze hesitated for a while, then squatted gently in front of the cage, reached out to touch its hand, and softly comforted the poor orangutan who had suffered so much.

"Boy, everything will be fine. Do you want to eat an apple later? How about some sugar cane? Professor... It is very dizzy, very dizzy. Secondly, it is weak and has no strength at all. It is very thirsty, but not hungry, even No appetite at all."

Its body function indicators were all good. After forty minutes, the dizziness disappeared, but the powerlessness remained. After Lu Ze gave the professor permission, he fed it some water, and its eyes regained their sparkle. Treating Lu Ze's There was still no hatred in his emotions. He used all his strength to gently raise his hand and tapped Lu Ze's palm.

The feeling in his heart was hard to calm down. He put the bottle filled with water aside and turned his head. The professor was taking notes on the computer and did not see Lu Ze's eyes with complicated emotions...

"OK, passed."

In an instant, the two of them were separated from the emotions of the characters. Lu Ze no longer paid attention to the fake orangutan in the cage. He stood up and took off the protective tools he was wearing. Wang Zixuan took the water cup, and Lu Ze took it and held it in his hand. He talked deeply with Wang Pu chat.

"Leaving now? Will she go back with you?"

"Well, she's also back on the flight tonight. Do you need me to bring anything to my sister-in-law?"

"No, I'll just call the courier. Okay, you go home and pack your things quickly. Don't rush the time."

Lu Ze nodded and said goodbye to all the crew members one by one. Then he got into the dressing room and began to remove his makeup and changed back into the clothes he had worn. When he came out, the crew had already started filming again. With Kesha, Lucas, and Fati Ni and others waved their hands, left the set, and started their journey back home.
