The scene that was going to be filmed now was the male protagonist's muddle-headed state in the capsule before he met the female protagonist.
The living space of this capsule was very small. Lu Zhiyao was relatively tall. When he sat on the bed, his head was only about ten centimeters away from the ceiling.
The interior decoration of the entire capsule was very simple and technological. There were no unnecessary decorations.
There was a large green screen where the television screen should have been. The television programs were all synthesized in post-production.
There were also some filming props at the side, such as fast food relief meals, potato chips, beer, and so on.
Of course, these props were also custom-made. Take the beer for example. Special stickers were pasted on the outside of ready-made long cans of beer. On one hand, it was to cover the original logo. On the other hand, it was to highlight the setting of this world background.
In addition to the fictional beer logo printed on the cans of beer, there were also some colorful advertisements. That was because according to the setting of the script, advertisements in this future world were everywhere. Even the cans of beer could not be spared.
Then, Lu Zhiyao lay in the capsule and began filming.
First, there were a few scenes of him doing nothing in the capsule and watching television advertisements.
These scenes were relatively easy to film, and there was no acting to be shown. Therefore, it was done very quickly after a few scenes.
Next, there were scenes of him eating relief meals.
There was a special dining area in the capsule. It was opposite the bed. There was a small table for a single person. There was a small screen on the wall beside the table and a food outlet.
The small screen was also green and would use post-production special effects to create a menu to order. This small screen would play various food advertisements in a loop when there was no food to be ordered.
The content of this scene was also very simple. It was time to eat. The male protagonist received his relief meal here. He watched the advertisements of various delicacies on the small screen that was used to order food while eating the relief meal. The word 'miserable' was highlighted in this scene.
Lu Zhiyao sat down at the small table and looked at the food outlet blankly.
That was because watching advertisements and receiving relief meals were already a routine at a fixed time every day. There was no expectation at all. Lu Zhiyao had to act out this feeling of having no expectations at all.
With a 'click', the food outlet opened. A pallet that looked good and looked good fell out of the food outlet and onto the table.
Lu Zhiyao expressionlessly tore off the tinfoil-like seal, revealing the black and white powder-like substance inside.
Pei Qian asked softly, "What's inside?"
Zhu Xiaoce whispered, "Milk powder and chocolate powder."
Pei Qian nodded. "Not bad."
At least this thing was edible. It looked like there was no need to add more money to Lu Zhiyao.
Lu Zhiyao took the tray and reached for the water outlet at the side to fill it with warm water. Then, he stirred it evenly with the small spoon that came with the tray.
Of course, the entire process was still muddle-headed and devoid of expectations.
Then, he picked up the spoon and began to feed himself spoonful by spoonful.
Lu Zhiyao kept staring at the small screen next to him while he ate.
Although it was green screen now, there would be all kinds of cool food advertisements in the future.
Lu Zhiyao's eyes had to change as he looked at the green screen. He had to express his yearning and anticipation for these delicacies. He also had to subconsciously make small movements such as swallowing saliva and licking his lips.
"Ka!"
"That expression just now was a little too much. According to the plot, you should watch these advertisements every day, so there's no need to have such a big reaction. Just show some instinctive reaction to food."
"Overall, it's very good. Okay, one more!"
Director Zhu Xiaoce would point out anything inappropriate in time, and Lu Zhiyao would try his best to cooperate.
After a few shots, this scene was over.
Pei Qian felt emotional. Lu Zhiyao's acting was not bad, huh?
He felt like he was holding his breath for this Tomorrow is Beautiful performance.
Previously, Lu Zhiyao had always been called 'box office poison'. His acting was not bad, but it was inevitable that he would be criticized by the audience.
The most common criticism was that he was too handsome, not down to earth, used too much acting, and made people out of character.
This time, Lu Zhiyao was indeed very serious about acting as a decadent person.
He was very handsome, and his decadent state was not that miserable, but this decadent feeling was indeed shown.
The stage supervisor began to get busy and continued to prepare for the next scene.
Zhu Xiaoce said to Pei Qian, "Boss Pei, the next part is the highlight."
Pei Qian: "Eh?"
Zhu Xiaoce pointed at the cans of beer over there. "Next, there's a close-up of him drinking beer.
"The plot is that the male lead participated in a quiz on TV and won a lot of quiz tokens, so he rewarded himself with a can of beer.
"In order to act this scene well, Lu Zhiyao has not drunk beer since the day he came to Jingzhou.
"Usually, he doesn't even drink much water. He only drinks drinks that taste horrible, such as Black Pine Sand Water, Red Flower Snake Grass Water, Western Tree Root …"
"It's so that when I drink this beer, I can give people a deep impression of my acting skills."
Pei Qian: "… there's no need to work so hard, right? Are these drinks for humans to drink? It's just filming, there's no need to put your life on the line … "
Director Zhu Xiaoce smiled. "That's why I said that this is the self-cultivation of a qualified actor. Even Mr. Zhang Zuting is full of praise for Lu Zhiyao's acting attitude. "
Pei Qian: "…"
There's really no need to work so hard!
Wouldn't it be a big deal if he created a classic scene that would become a hot topic?!
However, Pei Qian did not know how Lu Zhiyao was going to act now. He could only watch silently from the side and maintain a state of high alert.
At the beginning of this scene, Lu Zhiyao first performed the entire process of winning the prize in front of the green screen.
He was anxious while waiting for the results of the TV show, reveling alone in the capsule after knowing that he had made a small profit, and then looking forward to buying a can of beer at the outlet.
After two or three scenes, it was time to shoot the scene of drinking beer.
Lu Zhiyao walked to the small screen next to the outlet and pretended to operate the green screen. He did not forget to add more scenes on his face: the joy of winning the quiz was still on his face, and there was a hint of anticipation in his smile that he was about to drink beer. In addition, he subconsciously licked his lips …
Pei Qian, who was next to Zhu Xiaoce, could clearly see Lu Zhiyao's series of micro-expressions. At that moment, he missed the time when young hunks only knew how to shout 1234567 when filming movies.
With a 'thud', a can of beer fell out of the outlet.
Lu Zhiyao immediately grabbed it excitedly. He could even see a few water droplets on the slightly cold, iced beer. He opened the can with a 'bang' and then raised his head. Dun, dun, dun, dun …
Lu Zhiyao only stopped after drinking more than half a can. He was very happy and satisfied. He looked at the can of beer in his hand with a face full of satisfaction.
Lu Zhiyao wiped the foam from the corner of his mouth and raised his head again. He drank the remaining half of the can of beer in one gulp. Even when the can was empty, he kept pouring it into his mouth as if he did not want to let go of a single drop.
Finally, Lu Zhiyao reluctantly threw the empty can of beer into the garbage, wiped his mouth, and burped contentedly. Then, he returned to his bed and lay down like a corpse.
This burp was very natural. It should not have been designed. It was completely because Lu Zhiyao drank too much that it was just right.
"Stop!"
In theory, he should have shouted 'cut', but this' stop 'was shouted by Boss Pei. Thus, Director Zhu Xiaoce quickly added' cut 'and then looked at Pei Qian very seriously.
"Boss Pei, is there a problem with the acting?"
Zhu Xiaoce knew very well that Boss Pei was not only the sponsor of this movie but also the original author of the script.
If Boss Pei had any opinions about some of the plots in this movie, it would definitely mean that the plot had deviated from the original intention of Boss Pei's work. He had to respect the original author's opinion and make changes.
Pei Qian felt a little helpless.
Brother, you're working too hard!
You're just drinking a can of beer, and your expression is even worse than Little Master Boy's!
He was just short of a 'Great Wall of China' background music, golden special effects, and a background of the sea and sky …
Pei Qian could even foresee # LuZhiyao drinking beer # trending on Weibo on the day of the movie's release.
Pei Qian coughed lightly. "There's really no need for that. Just act normally …
"The male protagonist is a salted fish. It's best if you act like a salted fish."
Lu Zhiyao looked confused. "Huh?"
He was very confident in his acting skills. He thought that the scene just now would be enough to be recorded in film history, but it did not move the original author of the script.
This …
He could only look at Director Zhu Xiaoce.
Director Zhu Xiaoce pondered for a moment. "I didn't think so at first, but now that Boss Pei said that … I also feel that I used too much force. What do you think, Mr. Zhang? "
Zhang Zuting nodded. "Boss Pei is indeed the original author. He has a very good grasp of this story and this character.
"Boss Pei's words might be very common, but I can roughly understand what he wants to express."
Pei Qian: "?"
It seemed like the development of the situation was a little unexpected …
Zhang Zuting looked at Lu Zhiyao and said earnestly, "Let's say that we change the background for this scene.
"You're going to play a hard worker who has to work eighteen hours a day. You can only drink one can of beer after working hard for a month. You won't see any other entertainment around you. Beer is the highest enjoyment …
"In that case, your performance is up to standard. It will be very infectious.
"However, the character you're playing now is a muddle-headed ordinary person in the future.
"Doesn't he only drink one can of beer a month? Obviously not.
"Doesn't he have a higher level of enjoyment around him? That's not it.
"The small screen at the side will continuously play advertisements for other food and wine. Compared to those advertisements, the enjoyment brought about by this can of beer is insignificant.
"The male protagonist won money from a quiz on television, so he rewarded himself with a can of beer. In other words, he can buy it anytime he wants. All he has to do is spend his savings.
"Therefore, this can of beer is not precious.
