Chapter 11: Crazy

Maybe it's really men and women working together without getting tired, they shot quite a few scenes this day, but Chen Nuo still felt it passed quite quickly. After finishing work at 7 o'clock, Zhang Yiyi came to find Chen Nuo again, "Go, my mom stewed chicken today."

Chen Nuo raised his chin not far away, "Forget it today, said she would treat me to dinner."

Zhang Yiyi turned his head to look, his face was a bit heavy, "I know her mom, you kid really don't... I won't be easy to explain by then."

Chen Nuo frowned and said: "Director, I am now asking you very seriously, in your mind, what kind of image am I."

Zhang Yiyi didn't answer, said "Remember, only eat, don't do anything else." After that, turned and left.

Miss Ni Ni walked to Chen Nuo's side twistedly and said: "What did the director say?"

Chen Nuo smiled and said: "Nothing, told me to send you back early. Let's go, what are we eating?"

A Sichuanese and a Jin Ling person, eating out together in Beijing, generally eat what?

The answer is, and only is: Beijing Roast Duck.

Miss Ni Ni and Chen Nuo found a roast duck restaurant nearby, and while waiting for the dishes to be served, Miss Ni Ni received a call, and after coming back, her face was not very good.

Chen Nuo cared: "What's wrong?"

"Nothing, just my mom... she likes to worry more."

Chen Nuo said oh, and asked: "You came to Beijing alone?"

Miss Ni Ni said: "Not really, originally there are relatives here, I live at my relatives' house."

"Why aren't you in school? Asked for leave?"

"Um, wanted to shoot Zhang Laoshi's play, so asked for leave." Miss Ni Ni looked at him and asked: "How about you?"

"Also asked for leave, came here to attend a training class, preparing to take the Film Academy exam."

Miss Ni Ni laughed, "Can tell, you must really like acting."

Chen Nuo froze for a moment, and said: "How can you tell?"

"Because..." Miss Ni Ni lowered her voice and said: "Today when you were drinking porridge, I knew you couldn't drink anymore, but you still forced yourself to drink. At that time I knew, you will definitely be able to become a particularly great actor in the future, just like Tony Leung or Ge You."

Chen Nuo smiled, "Is it that exaggerated?"

"Really." Miss Ni Ni nodded seriously, she looked at Chen Nuo, there was light in her eyes.

"Zhang Laoshi once said, only people who truly love movies will force themselves to eat 26 pears, wipe the floor 27 times, eat more than thirty plates of pasta, and only such people can become top actors. I want to be such a person, I want to be an excellent actor, act in some good works, and let everyone know me. But you, I think you don't need to think, because you are born to be such a person."

The roast duck restaurant with booming business was noisy, guests were endless, and it was very lively. Although the lights in the hall were bright, they still couldn't compare to the light in her eyes.

Chen Nuo didn't know what to say, raised his teacup: "Thank you, I toast you, wish your dream comes true."

"Also toast you, Brother Chen Nuo. Really, you can really make everyone like watching you act. I won't look wrong."

Miss Ni Ni's scenes were not many, only shot for a little more than a week, and then killed. On the day of leaving, Miss Ni Ni gave Chen Nuo a small gift, a film-style keychain. Chen Nuo strung it into his keys. Although it became a bit bloated, it was heavy and no longer easy to lose. After Miss Ni Ni left, they shot for a few more days at the entrance of the alley, and then all the scenes in the city were shot. Next, the whole crew transferred to the suburbs around Beijing to shoot the scene of Yaba digging the house.

Zhang Yiyi rented a medium-sized bus and pulled the crew to a county called Laishui. The county was very small, but had mountains and water, beautiful scenery, and the streets on the roadside were also very clean. A group of people opened five rooms in a hostel in the county, Chen Nuo and Zhang Yiyi lived in one room.

On the first night, Chen Nuo was kept awake all night by Zhang Yiyi's snoring.

The next day, the medium-sized bus took them to a small mountain next to the county, which was the location Zhang Yiyi and the others had chosen long ago.

The price of not sleeping all night was that Chen Nuo's eyes were full of blood, exhausted, the whole person was like being unscrewed, from head to toe there was no place with strength, making people feel that he would fall to the ground and die in the next second, but put in the lens, no one was more like that mute who dug a cave on the mountain for five years than him.

Chen Nuo also felt his state was a bit right. Although tired was really tired, also especially wanted to sleep, his spirit was dazed, but in this state of being half-asleep and half-awake, he found himself entering the painting.

He was Yaba. Chen Nuo felt this incomparably truly at this moment.

Zhang Yiyi quickly discovered Chen Nuo's change.

Only shot the first shot, Zhang Yiyi excitedly patted his thigh: "Too right, Chen Nuo is super-level today."

He hurriedly called Li Xiaotian: "Tian'er, hurry up and arrange, move a part of tomorrow's shooting plan to today, today we strive to shoot more takes. Chen Nuo is crazy today!"

Li Xiaotian was also from the Film Academy, and he also knew that such a state of Chen Nuo was something that could be met but not sought for an actor.

The industry calls this "inspiration descending" or "character possession".

This state is a state of high concentration and investment reached by actors during the performance process, as if the character's soul is perfectly attached to the actor, making the actor's performance exceed the usual level, and the actor's emotions, actions, and language are perfectly integrated with the character,

In this case, the realism and infectiousness shown by the actor are amazing.

Looking at the playback on the monitor, Li Xiaotian said: "I'll go arrange it, we shoot as much as we can today, just hope Chen Nuo can hold on."

Li Xiaotian ordered down, everyone in the crew noticed Chen Nuo's change at this time, from the photographer uncle to the lighting little brother, from the sound engineer to the crew young lady, everyone raised their spirits to twelve points.

To put it bluntly, everyone is mixing in this circle, who doesn't want to meet a good director and a good actor, and let themselves hang a name on the list of award-winning movies? If you really have shit luck, hit such a one, you basically don't have to worry for the rest of your life. What's more, people's movies, a long list of behind-the-scenes names, Zhang Yiyi's movie, counting early and late, is estimated to be no more than twenty people, if it really makes some fame... dare not think, dare not think.

In this case, the efficiency of the crew this day was exceptionally high, Zhang Yiyi almost never shouted cut, shot one take passed one take, shot until dark, and after taking out the few night scenes that could be shot, Zhang Yiyi reluctantly shouted: "Finish work."

Chen Nuo was already numb at this time.

Really numb, his toes were a bit disobedient. Supported himself to get on the car, sat on the seat with a bang, and instantly became unconscious.

When waking up, Chen Nuo found that he was already on the bed in the hostel, his clothes weren't taken off, just covered with a quilt, don't know what time it was, the room didn't turn on the lights, pitch black, and especially quiet, couldn't hear a bit of Zhang Yiyi's snoring.

Eh, not right.

Chen Nuo suddenly found that he was actually on a big bed.
