Chapter 40 High-Level 1
I was just thinking about it.
Zhou Hong then saw Huang Min walk over to his younger brother Zhou Nian and tell him about the parts of the scene he hadn't performed well.
"Teacher Zhou, your performance just now was too bland."
Huang Min earnestly said, "I need that 'dying gasp,' the physiological reaction of being gripped by fear and despair. That way, the audience can directly feel you being crushed. Let me demonstrate first."
Done.
After wiping his forehead with water, Huang Min sat down and leaned against the wall, just as Teacher Zhou Nian had done.
Hu Yu, who had just been praised by Huang Min and was still immersed in a complex interest, quickly composed himself when he saw Huang Min was about to perform and came over to watch together.
He had heard that many directors were very good at acting.
Some directors are even former actors.
But this Huang Min... Hu Yu had seen him in TV dramas before, and his acting skills were just average. He was forced to switch to directing because he was blacklisted in the industry after being accused by his ex-wife, Lin Wan.
Judging from the way he was trained just now, this guy seems to be really good at directing. As for acting, Hu Yu thinks it should be about the same as before. However, when Huang Minchao, who was not wearing makeup, pressed his face against the wall, Hu Yu's mouth opened and his eyes widened instantly.
Huang Min's cold sweat slid down his brow bone...
This performance completely stunned Hu Yu. You see, this guy was fine before, but as soon as he leaned against the wall, he not only instantly got into character, but the water on his forehead, even as he was breathing, gave off a strong sense of tension. In particular, his eyebrows were tightly furrowed, and the corners of his mouth twitched uncontrollably, as if even his jaw was chattering.
The actor perfectly conveyed the pain of "wanting to shout but unable to, wanting to cry but unable to" with an extremely nuanced performance.
Study hard
Old Hu saw it too.
He walked over to his grandson Hu Yu and whispered a reminder.
"Mmm"
Hu Yu nodded repeatedly.
His acting skills... probably far surpass those of his acting teachers. His teachers might not even be able to see his back. Without any showy expressions, he conveyed the emotions required for the scene solely through micro-expressions and physiological reactions.
"Can you even act it out!?"
After demonstrating once, Huang Min stood up, dusted off his clothes, and looked at Teacher Zhou Nian, asking, "This scene is one of the most crucial scenes in the play, and it must be performed well. You can first recall your own emotions, suppress the character's despair, regret, and fear into your body, and wait until you can perform the effect I just showed before we start filming."
"Let me think about it."
Anniversary took a deep breath and said.
"Take your time, let me film Hu Yu first."
Huang Minchao looked at Hu Yu with unfamiliar eyes and said, "Get ready, we'll finish filming the last two scenes where you're suspended outside soon. The next few scenes will be much simpler."
"Okay, Director Hu."
This time, Hu Yu's tone was more respectful than ever before.
After four takes, Hu Yu's scene was completed. He then adjusted his emotions and began filming again. Filming continued until around 5 p.m. before the scene achieved a result that satisfied Huang Min.
After the crew finished their meal and rested for an hour, they continued filming. This film doesn't have many scene transitions, making it easy to speed up the filming process.
Huang Min, who was eating his lunchbox, received a call from Su Qing.
"A high-ranking executive from a publishing company has heard about the 'Terror Live' project and would like to meet you tonight at 8 PM... Can you spare the time?!"
Su Qing asked.
"no problem"
Huang Min nodded: "I'll shoot one more take and then head to the meeting place. Send me the address, but..." He hesitated slightly before continuing, "I don't think it's necessary to meet with the distribution company's executives before the film is finished."
"I know"
Su Qing replied, "But it would be more convenient to get to know each other beforehand and then invite them to watch the full version after filming is finished. Besides, it's not like I arranged it for you; they took the initiative to contact you."
"That's settled then!"
Since Su Qing said so, Huang Min had no reason to refuse.
If filming isn't finished and a distribution company is secured, it would be a good thing for Huang Min, as he wouldn't have to rush things. However, Huang Min felt that the possibility was extremely slim. It's true that distribution companies want to release good movies, but they also need to confirm that the movie's quality is not a problem first.
His movie wasn't finished.
Its reputation is so bad.
Huang Min found it a bit strange that the company had taken the initiative to meet him, but he didn't think much of it. He guessed it was just another little-known distribution company that was trying to earn distribution fees because their own company's project wasn't doing well.
At 6:50, the last scene was filmed and the crew began to wrap up. Huang Min saw that there was nothing on set that he needed to keep an eye on, so he left the set and saw Su Qing leaning against a red car with her arms crossed over her elbows.
A night breeze swept by.
A strand of her long hair swayed in the wind by her ear.
"I didn't ask Uncle Zheng to pick you up. The meeting place is a hotel, so I'll go with you!"
Su Qing straightened up and spoke first.
After opening the car door and having Huang Min sit in the passenger seat and fasten his seatbelt, Su Qing asked, "How's your alcohol tolerance?"
"Not very good"
Huang Min replied.
He has no problem with alcohol tolerance. When he finished filming with other actors on Earth, they would often have a meal together after work. Drinking a pound of baijiu and two bottles of beer was no problem for him. But the previous Huang Min couldn't hold his liquor. He didn't drink much. Even if he couldn't refuse, he would drink tea instead of alcohol.
One who doesn't like drinking.
A man who can't stand the pungent smell of baijiu (Chinese liquor) is unlikely to have a high alcohol tolerance.
This is one of the reasons why Huang Min was not very popular before. In the entertainment industry, a place of fame and fortune, even if you don't know anything, even if your acting skills are bad, as long as you have a good alcohol tolerance, you can control a powerful social circle. But Huang Min, besides being a Buddhist, also couldn't drink.
If a man can't drink, he won't be able to build a good relationship with anyone. That's why when Huang Min was slandered by Lin Wan, no one was willing to stand up for him.
Without the help of alcohol.
The relationships that develop there are rarely successful. Seeing Su Qing turn and glance at him before falling silent, Huang Min smiled and asked, "So you mean you have a high alcohol tolerance, huh?!"
I am allergic to alcohol.
Su Qing replied calmly.
"Then why didn't you talk to them somewhere else? How can you talk business in a hotel without drinking?!"
Huang Min pointed to himself and chuckled, "I can't drink much, and you can't drink either. We can't exactly serve drinks to the bar staff! That's just messing with the executives at the distribution company!"
"You have to drink even if you can't drink much."
Su Qing turned to look at Huang Min, took out a box of medicine from behind the gearshift and handed it to him: "This is hangover medicine. Take two pills first, so you can drink more. If you want to be a boss, you have to know how to drink. Ninety percent of business cooperation in this society is negotiated over drinks. If you don't want to drink, you have to have the financial strength to cover it. Right now, you are in a survival stage where you have no choice but to drink. If you want Dongsheng Film Industry to survive, you have to keep up with the drinking when others drink."
