Chapter 132

~10 min read 1,961 words

Miss Luo Quan's first scene was in a hospital. The script was very simple: the bad guys came to the hospital to find Chen Boshi, and she, in order to protect Chen Boshi, took the initiative to stand up and impersonate him.

"Miss Luo Quan, when you come out later, your emotions should reveal bravery in anger, but don't show anger too obviously. Do you understand what I mean?" Before filming, Wu Jin was explaining to Miss Luo Quan how to perform later.

"Understand." Miss Luo Quan nodded.

"Then let's try it first. If it doesn't work, we'll do it again. We have plenty of time today, you don't have to be nervous." Wu Jin took great care of Miss Luo Quan, a newcomer, and kept telling her not to be nervous.

Miss Luo Quan took a deep breath and stood in her position.

"Attention everyone!" Wu Jin clapped his hands, signaling that today's work was about to begin.

The field worker in a blue duck-billed cap carried a black and white clapperboard and walked to the camera.

"Wolf Warrior 2, scene 65, take 13, take 1, action!"

"Are you Chen Boshi?!" The mercenary pointed his gun at the little black girl and let out a roar. The frightened little girl shrank into Chen Boshi's arms and let out a helpless scream.

"She's just a child." Chen Boshi protected the little girl and hurriedly explained.

"I am!" Miss Luo Quan suddenly stood up from the crowd of squatting people. A patient next to her grabbed her hand and told her not to be impulsive. Miss Luo Quan just gave her a smile of "don't worry about me," then passed through the hostages who were holding their heads with both hands, and came to the mercenary, "I am Chen Boshi."

"You are Chen Boshi? Why doesn't Chen Boshi have balls?" The mercenary was very sturdy. Miss Luo Quan, who was 1.7 meters tall, was as delicate as a rabbit in front of a grizzly bear in front of him, but her eyes did not reveal any fear.

"What do you want? I am............" Miss Luo Quan's voice was sonorous and powerful, expressing the emotions of bravery revealed in anger required by Director Wu Jin very well.

"Dr. Rachel, no!"

A worried shout came from behind the mercenary. It was the rebel army of this country that was in the same group as the mercenary.

"Cut!" Director Wu Jin shouted, excited and relaxed.

"Director, is this okay?" After all, it was her first performance, and Miss Luo Quan was still a bit nervous.

Wu Jin smiled: "This shot passed."

"Miss Luo Quan, are you really a newcomer? You act better than the previous woman!" The speaker was another important male supporting role in this movie - Wu Hang.

Teacher Wu Hang has been struggling in the film and television circle for decades and is a recognized veteran actor. It is not easy to get his praise.

"Have you acted in any stage plays before, or learned relevant knowledge?" Qin Yi was also surprised by Miss Luo Quan's performance.

Although he was from a formal class, his acting skills could only be considered mid-stream among students of the same session, and the most criticized thing since his debut was his acting skills.

If we only talk about the performance of this scene, Miss Luo Quan's acting skills are even more natural than his!

Miss Luo Quan smiled modestly: "I am really in contact with acting for the first time. I used to just sing and write songs."

Everyone sighed. If what Miss Luo Quan said is true, then it can only be said that she is rewarded by God and is born to be an actor!

Wu Jin almost wrote his pride on his face, laughed and said: "Keep this state and continue, strive to finish all the hospital shots in the morning!"

The second shot is that the red-turban rebel army who just expressed concern for Dr. Rachel had been treated by her. Out of gratitude, he exposed her true identity, but was shot dead by the mercenary Big Bear.

The gunshot rang out, the hostages screamed, and Miss Luo Quan was shocked and angry, rushing up to fight him, but was held against her forehead by Big Bear with a gun.

Here, the tension and control of Miss Luo Quan's emotions are very high, from shock to anger, and then to daring to be angry but not daring to speak after being pointed at by a gun, the changes are fast and large.

Actors with poor acting skills are prone to overexertion in this process, and worse ones directly use wide eyes to express shock, anger, and other emotions, commonly known as staring-style performance.

Wu Jin was a bit worried at first whether Miss Luo Quan could handle it, and even prepared for multiple NGs. Unexpectedly, Miss Luo Quan's emotional transformation was very natural, and the amplitude of expressions, eyes, and even limb movements were just right, which simply made people have a feeling of being on the scene.

Being able to let the viewers enter the play means that the actor himself has already immersed himself in the role. This is a skill that many young actors cannot master, and Miss Luo Quan, a newcomer who has just entered the industry at the age of eighteen, can use it so skillfully. This is not God rewarding food, it should be called feeding food!

The second shot, still passed once, the crew showed joy from top to bottom.

The heroine suddenly ran away when the movie was filmed halfway, which is a devastating blow to any crew, especially a crew like Wolf Warrior 2 whose funds and time are not very abundant.

Upon learning that the temporarily replaced heroine had no acting experience, everyone held a relatively pessimistic attitude and was prepared to accompany her to NG all day.

And there can be no complaints. She came to save the field, and her profession is also a singer. It is excusable if her acting skills are not good.

But who would have thought that this girl's acting skills were as beautiful as her person, simply impeccable!

In the dozen or so scenes reshot by the heroine in the hospital, Miss Luo Quan basically passed once. Even if there were NGs, it was because of other actors. Miss Luo Quan's performance was stable enough to be unbelievable.

"Work finished!" Wu Jin shouted with joy, triggering cheers from the entire crew.

This section of the hospital play is over. Next, after finishing the car chase, everyone can leave Soweto.

"You are really the timely rain of our crew, Miss Luo Quan!" Assistant Director Song said to Miss Luo Quan with excitement.

"It's all everyone's credit." Miss Luo Quan's answer was also very modest.

After the hospital scenes were filmed, everyone began to arrange the scene for the second slum chase.

The two scenes were actually carried out in the slums, but those tents outside were props of the crew, not real residences.

As for the extras, of course, they were found in the slums. People here live very frugally. A film crew is willing to find them to film, and they don't even need to pay, just replace them with some daily necessities.

And the most popular remuneration in the slums, one is Chinese cigarettes, and the other is medicine.

Cold medicine, anti-inflammatory medicine, and even insect repellent, as long as it is medicine, it is very valuable.

At noon, while the crew members were arranging the filming scene outside, Miss Luo Quan also followed everyone to turn around in the slums. Of course, it was only in local areas, and she didn't dare to go to places further away.

In the slums where the crew is located, the air is filled with a large amount of pungent disinfectant smell. In the morning, the crew sent special personnel to spray a lot of disinfectant on the ground.

Africa has a considerable number of viruses raging, and the phenomenon in slums is particularly serious. In the setting of Wolf Warrior 2, this slum has many patients infected with a violent virus called Ramala, and this virus has a real portrayal in reality.

And this portrayal is one of the deadliest viruses in the world - the Ebola virus. This virus first appeared in Sudan and Congo, with a mortality rate ranging from 50% to 90%, and patients are extremely painful before death. Once discovered, it is listed as a high-risk virus.

Of course, Soweto has never had reports of discovering the Ebola virus, otherwise Wu Jin would not dare to come to such a place to film even if he was beaten to death.

But without Ebola, it doesn't mean there are no other germs. After all, the sanitary conditions here are very poor, comparable to the Ganges in India. If you get any disease, it's quite troublesome.

Therefore, disinfection measures are very necessary.

And besides the smell of disinfectant, Miss Luo Quan can also smell a sour and fishy smell. Combined with the garbage that can be seen everywhere in the distance, she probably knows where this smell comes from.

Not many adults in the slums pay attention to public morality. Garbage is basically thrown directly on the street in front of their own doors. Smaller ones are directly stepped into the soil and crushed into dust by thousands of bare feet.

Larger ones are like stubborn stones, waiting for the wind and sand to wear it away.

It's a pity that many of these garbage are non-degradable and basically won't disappear with time. It's true that it smells with time.

Not many adults were seen in the nearby slums. It is said that they all went out to make a living, and the means of making a living is picking up garbage.

Johannesburg is the largest city in South Africa, and the daily garbage produced by this city is something for the residents of nearby slums to support their families.

It sounds incredible, but this is indeed the portrayal of many poor people in slums.

The government will distribute free food to some people, but it is definitely unrealistic to want to support so many poor people in Soweto. Young and strong will go to Johannesburg to work, sell hard labor, and the old and weak have no way, so they can only go to pick up garbage.

As for children, those who are a little sensible will go to the nearby wilderness to herd sheep. The sheep are as skinny as these children. The land severely polluted by garbage cannot grow too much even if it is the cheapest weed. How hard people live, how hard sheep live.

And smaller children, most of them don't need to go to school, running wildly on the road full of red dust every day. For them who have no entertainment activities, the suddenly arrived crew seems to have endless attraction.

When Miss Luo Quan was strolling with everyone, she saw many slum children staring at them not far away. In their eyes, it was curiosity, exploration, and perhaps longing.

Bored Qin Yi tore open a bag of potato chips, ate a few, walked to Miss Luo Quan's side, held it up and asked: "Do you want it?"

Miss Luo Quan didn't speak, she just looked at the children next to her.

Although they were a few meters away, those children still swallowed their saliva as if they smelled the fragrance. They probably just saw the package and knew that this thing was delicious.

Perhaps, in the potato chip bags that their adults picked up from the garbage dump, there will be leftovers left by others?
