Chapter 191
The scene Zhang Xinyu and Fan Fan Binbing were discussing was exactly the most controversial scene in The Message of the previous life.
Many people said that Li Bingbing was fully naked at the time. It was cut for three minutes afterward, and only about a minute remained in the original film.
In that scene, Huang Xiaoming acted like a pervert, claiming that every organ of a person is a code, and as long as you, Li Ningyu, can endure this, you can prove your innocence.
Afterward, he stripped Li Bingbing down to her underwear and used a ruler to measure her eyes and nose.
Finally, he gave some close-up shots, revealing some naked skin on Li Bingbing's body, indicating that this person was stark naked and suffering humiliation.
It was really inexplicable.
Just this one scene, the three-part temperament originally displayed by Huang So-and-so was left with only sleaze, just like all his plays—besides the word "greasy," no other way of expression could be found.
Because this whole logic didn't make sense at all.
What is an organ being a code?
It's just finding an excuse to play with a woman, okay!
And in the script written by Ning Hao and Mai Jia this time, there was indeed no such plot. Instead, it adopted Ning Hao's realist technique.
More real, and more cruel.
It was torture, severe punishment, and even humiliation without a shred of erotic meaning.
A Japanese major as cruel and ruthless as Takeda Nobunaga,
Wouldn't have so much tenderness, nor so much hesitation; he wasn't a riddle-maker; he would only use every means to get the answer he wanted.
Just like at this moment,
In the dark corridor, Fan Fan Binbing was led by Zhang Xinyu toward the torture room.
Under the dim light, the faces of the two women were looming, one forced to be calm, one expressionless.
Ning Hao and Gao Qunshu sat on the left and right sides of Wong Kar-wai. They were secretly observing his expression.
The great director came on the 3rd day after Chen Nuo arrived in Hengdian. He rested for a day yesterday and officially came to the set today.
Originally, Wong Kar-wai was quite humble, saying he would just watch from the side.
But is that possible?
Even if Ning Hao and Gao Qunshu really thought so, they would never dare to do so. Thus, it became the current pattern.
Looking at the woman in the lens, Wong Kar-wai frowned slightly and asked: "This Zhang... what's her name? She's acting in a movie for the first time, right?"
Ning Hao coughed and said: "Yes, she is an artist from Chen Nuo's company."
It could be seen that Wong Kar-wai probably wanted to say something, but in the end, he probably thought of Dong Jie from his own company and didn't have the face to talk about others, nodding slightly: "Okay."
Ning Hao said cautiously: "Director Wong, do you think we need to do it again?"
Wong Kar-wai said: "You are the directors; you don't need to ask me."
Ning Hao then picked up the walkie-talkie and said: "OK, passed!"
Wong Kar-wai's mouth twitched, and he said nothing.
Zhang Xinyu's first touch of electricity ended just like that. She felt a slight relief in her heart, and at the same time, a bit of pride: it seems filming movies and such isn't as hard as she thought.
The transition shot ended just like that, and the next step was the indoor scene, the torture room.
Zhang Xinyu expressionlessly sent Fan Fan Binbing to the door and opened it for her.
The indoor light was white and deep, just like another world.
A trace of imperceptible panic flashed in Fan Fan Binbing's eyes, and she walked in slowly.
"Cut. Add another set." Ning Hao said.
Wong Kar-wai looked left and right, seeing that Ning and Gao were still calm, and really couldn't help it, saying: "Hao-zai, did that shot just pass like that?"
Ning Hao was stunned: "Director Wong, do you think it's not good? I think Bingbing acted quite well."
It could be seen that Wong Kar-wai was already suppressing his temper. After all, this wasn't his set. He forced a smile and said: "Do it a few more times, let's see."
Everyone knows that the "few times" in Wong Kar-wai's mouth is an imaginary number.
Just such a shot.
Zhang Xinyu sent Fan Fan Binbing to the door, and Fan Fan Binbing had a two-second inner drama.
Wong Kar-wai let Ning Hao call "Cut" thirty-three times.
Zhang Xinyu was already pale at this time. Two hours ago, she felt filming was very simple; now she realized it was she who thought it was simple.
The key is that Wong Kar-wai maintained his usual style and said nothing.
Ning Hao and Gao Qunshu seemed to understand something, and neither of them made a sound.
So it seemed only one person was being tortured.
Fan Fan Binbing.
However, after thirty-three times, this future wealthy young lady didn't change her face or heartbeat. Let alone crying, she was simply full of interest, making the staff on site feel that even if they came 330 more times, she would still be eager.
Fan Fan Binbing really thought so.
She knew Wong Kar-wai was sitting by the monitor. Although Ning Hao was shouting "Cut" from beginning to end, who was really directing this scene? Need it be said?
The Message had been filming for over a month, and Jiang Wen had already finished his part and left. Who didn't know Director Ning Hao's style?
In a word, save film.
33 "Cut"s couldn't possibly be shouted by him.
How could Fan Fan Binbing not be excited?
How many actors in China have acted in Wong Kar-wai's plays? And which one isn't a superstar among superstars?
With her status, if it weren't for the face of that master, making Wong Kar-wai come to Hengdian for the first time in history, if she wanted to film a scene of his, she'd probably have to wait for the next life.
With Fan Fan Binbing's ambition and drive, how could she not cherish this opportunity?
Wong Kar-wai was doing his job of burning film, while Chen Nuo was burning fat.
Who let Jeon Do-yeon only come for this one day? After filming during the day, she had to return to South Korea on the night flight because she had to go to a charity banquet organized by the Blue House tomorrow night.
So, the makeup Chen Nuo had just put on was almost ruined. Fortunately, he increased his strength, making Jeon Do-yeon only able to cover her mouth and unable to kiss him.
The bathroom in the No. 3 makeup room didn't have the lights on.
But the light coming through the glass window shone on Jeon Do-yeon's exposed snow-white thighs. The slender and delicate leg lines were smooth, and the delicate toes were painted with bright red nail polish.
To be honest, sometimes Chen Nuo was really a bit afraid of playing too wildly.
But this woman just likes to play these things; what can he do?
At one moment, her legs straightened, and her instep and lower leg formed a straight line, making Chen Nuo's body tighten involuntarily...
Then for a long while, there wasn't a word in the dark room.
After a good while, Jeon Do-yeon said in a hoarse voice in English: "Why hasn't anyone come to call us yet? Haven't they finished filming?"
Chen Nuo was prepared when he heard Wong Kar-wai would be on set today.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been fooling around at this time.
He knew early on that with the directing method Ning Hao and the others were using now, Wong Kar-wai absolutely couldn't watch it.
And he had long wanted to do this once. Let Ning Hao know that although saving film is a good habit, you can't lose the big for the small.
Filming Jiang Wen's scenes earlier was fine. If they still did it once or twice like this later, then the movie they filmed might be unwatchable.
It was just right to let Wong Kar-wai polish the actors while also helping him train the only director currently under his company.
So after listening to Jeon Do-yeon, he answered naturally: "I think they will film for a long time. How about it? Do you still have strength?"
Jeon Do-yeon giggled and said: "Come on, harder."
Well, this Korean woman's taste is getting heavier and heavier.
The door of the No. 3 makeup room was finally knocked on. A woman said something in Korean.
Jeon Do-yeon said: "They passed."
It was 6:30 PM. Hmm, Fan Fan Binbing's entrance scene had been filmed for a full 5 hours.
And Jeon Do-yeon's plane was at 11:30 PM, which meant they only had about two hours to film the torture scene.
Zhang Xinyu knew this situation before, so when she saw Jeon Do-yeon and Chen Nuo walking into the venue naturally, talking and laughing in English, preparing to start filming the first shot.
Zhang Xinyu thought in her heart that this Korean woman should change her flight.
Director Wong Kar-wai is really too perverted.
Sister Bingbing has been tortured to what extent; if it were her, she would have gone crazy long ago.
"Action."
The script had long been sent to South Korea for Jeon Do-yeon to read, and the filming site had also been completely organized in the ten-plus minutes Chen Nuo and Jeon Do-yeon were delayed for unknown reasons.
So Ning Hao ordered to start very quickly.
The light in the torture room was originally pale, because Ning Hao wanted to use this to express the ruthlessness and coldness of the Japanese.
But just now, under Wong Kar-wai's suggestion, it was changed to an orange-red color.
That is to say, the moment Fan Fan Binbing stepped into the door, the light inside was white, but after she really went in, the whole room turned into a beautiful red.
This change was actually a bit strange.
But seeing Chen Nuo and Jeon Do-yeon in the lens at this moment, Ning Hao suddenly understood Wong Kar-wai's intention.
A beast in a sea of blood.
For this scene, Jeon Do-yeon specifically learned a few sentences of Japanese.
Now she said it.
"Takeda-kun, do you need me to ask her?"
"Go."
"To what extent do you need me to do it?"
"Make her submit."
"Hai."
The whole dialogue was completed in Japanese.
Zhang Xinyu hadn't read the script. She just watched this scene from afar.
She saw two evil ghosts in a sea of blood, wearing human skin that was either handsome or beautiful, whispering.
Not humans but ghosts, because they were too easy to identify.
Because the female ghost's eyes revealed resentment and the desire to destroy everything.
And the male one? He hid even deeper. However, his gaze toward the prey revealed a bloodthirsty longing, a cruel joy.
The interrogation began just like that.
Zhang Xinyu didn't see the end, because the subsequent shots of this scene had naked scenes, which required clearing the set.
She exited the scene with the staff.
An hour later, she saw that gentle and delicate Korean woman walking out while talking to Chen Nuo. The Japanese military uniforms on both of them had already been changed into their original casual clothes.
Walking to Zhang Xinyu's side, the Korean woman suddenly bowed slightly to her, said something in English, and added "Bye-bye."
"Bye-bye." Zhang Xinyu could be said to have returned the salute at a loss.
Afterward, Zhang Xinyu asked others and found out that the Korean film queen said: You acted very well.
Even if 300 men lined up to confess to her, Zhang Xinyu definitely wouldn't have shown such embarrassment and awkwardness as now.
Since Chen Nuo returned, every day outside Qiu Manor, many people would surround it.
Some were fans who came to see the real-life Joker, and more were paparazzi and reporters who wanted to photograph the real-life Joker. Both Chinese and foreign.
But in order to focus on filming, Chen Nuo had never accepted interviews.
But today, the Chinese and foreign reporters who were waiting bored and thought they would return empty-handed again suddenly found that the gate of Qiu Manor was open.
The news that Jeon Do-yeon was coming to guest-star today had long spread, and the reporters were not surprised.
What was surprising was that Chen Nuo actually sent Jeon Do-yeon out of the gate to get into the car.
A bit pretentious, clearly the parking lot is inside the gate.
The white-skinned blue-eyed and yellow-skinned black-eyed people looked at each other suspiciously, and the next second, they picked up various camera and recording equipment and rushed forward.
No matter what's going on, there must be news today.
Chen Nuo ignored the long guns and short cannons of the reporters, first sending Jeon Do-yeon into the Alphard the company had just bought,
After watching the other party leave, not unexpectedly for the reporters, this reclusive master really didn't turn back immediately.
Instead, he broke the precedent and answered questions!
First, he answered several questions from foreign friends fluently in English.
For example, what do you think about The Dark Knight breaking so many records now?
Or, with more and more rumors about the Joker and the Oscar Best Supporting Actor, what are your feelings as the person involved?
Or, Emma Stone recently accepted an interview saying that what she said when she won the award in Cannes is still valid today; what do you think?
There was also a French reporter who asked, in his heart, was it Cannes or Berlin that had an important influence on his acting career?
The reason is that the spit-take lawsuit between the French Liberation and the German Die Welt is intensifying, both competing over who discovered the supreme talent of the Joker actor falling dust first?
Chen Nuo actually wanted to say, what the fuck is Cannes? But facing a French reporter from Reuters, he definitely couldn't speak so directly.
He had to say euphemistically: "This is different praise obtained at two stages. I can only say, whether it's the judges of the Berlin Film Festival or the fans and audience of the Cannes Film Festival, I am very grateful."
The last foreign reporter's question was a madman from the American Wall Street Journal; he actually asked Chen Nuo why he hadn't taken an English name yet—was it some kind of nationalism at work?
Chen Nuo smiled and asked back: "Then do you have a Chinese name?"
The reporter's mouth opened wide, speechless.
Qi Yuntian had been accompanying him on the side, and couldn't help but smile upon hearing this.
This is the image of Chen Nuo in his mind all along.
If you respect me an inch, I will respect you a foot.
If you want to push an inch, I always have a way to make you unable to step down.
However, he was also quite puzzled, not knowing why Chen Nuo deliberately came to accept an interview today.
But the next moment, he understood.
I saw a reporter from NetEase Entertainment suddenly ask: "Chen Nuo, what do you think about the comments Teacher Sun Haiying posted online yesterday regarding your agent?"
Chen Nuo showed a look of astonishment.
Qi Yuntian knew that the whole world was praising this master's acting skills, but seeing Chen Nuo use his acting skills at this moment, Qi Yuntian was not only dumbfounded but also suddenly felt a bit sour in his nose.
Of course he knew what Chen Nuo wanted to do!
Chen Nuo seemed to think for a long time, but finally gave up, "Sorry, I don't know any 'Sea Eagle' (Sun Haiying); I only know flies. My girlfriend brought back an advanced flyswatter from Hong Kong, which is electric; it will squeak when you press the button. No matter what kind of eagle, once you swat it, it will definitely die. Interested friends can contact my agent. There, that's him, now the general manager of my company, and also a good brother who has gone through thick and thin with me."
Chen Nuo said, smiling again, revealing two rows of neat, white teeth.
"He is kind and always soft-hearted."
"But I'm different."
"So, no matter what sea eagle, fly, red eagle, or black eagle you are, don't provoke me, otherwise I'll let you know what a real crime is!"
