Chapter 143 Determination
There seemed to be a backup power supply in the building, so there was no power outage, but the end of the brightly lit corridor was elusively dark.
Cornelia gasped in horror, the hall was quiet and strangely dead silent, as if her breathing was constantly rising and falling in this empty corridor, she didn't know where she ran to, the team just entered When the building was attacked by those things, she subconsciously ran away and ran up desperately, but now she is not sure where she is, and she is not sure if she is safe.
That nightmarish scene kept replaying in her mind, she sat down slowly against the wall, wanted to break down and cry, but her shoulders trembled slightly, she didn't dare to make any sound other than breathing, just With her head buried in her arms, she whimpered softly. In this frighteningly quiet space, any... even the sound made by herself made Cornelia feel terrified.
After a long time, Cornelia finally regained some strength, and slowly supported her weak legs and feet with the help of the wall. She walked around the corner and stepped out into the darkness ahead under the light. The bloody smell that was hard to ignore poured into the nostrils, and it became stronger and stronger, accompanied by the rotten stench that wafted out of the brain.
An indescribable chill suddenly rose from the soles of his feet, the hairs on his body seemed to stand upside down, and thick black blood suddenly gushed out from the edge of the darkness soundlessly, the bright red carpet was full of blood, no matter how hard it was to bear It slowly overflowed to Cornelia's toe, as if something was crawling in the darkness, writhing silently.
Cornelia's heart was beating crazily. She felt that all the strength in her body was drained in an instant. Her limbs and bones were watered by ice water, and she couldn't move. The ferocious face emerged from the darkness and reappeared in the light.
"what----!!!!!"
No matter how hard it is to keep her sanity, Cornelia took a few steps back in fear. Her high-heeled shoes tripped over something, and she staggered and fell to the ground. After crawling back, the tears that floated from the eyes dazzled the makeup, and rushed to several messy marks.
Sensing the breath of the living, the zombie turned from sluggishness to frenzy, and he climbed forward frantically. Only when his figure was almost completely exposed in the darkness did he see that his legs and feet had been completely separated, only a thin layer The thin flesh was attached, and with the opponent's crazy movements, that layer of flesh broke instantly, and the intact left foot was kicked out, which was a strong visual impact.
"do not come!"
Cornelia screamed, the disgusting nausea could not be suppressed by fear, she vomited almost as soon as she turned her head, with no weapon in hand, Cornelia, whose body was so soft that she could hardly move, was powerless to resist, All he could do was cry and beg in despair.When the zombie was about to grab her legs, the woman could only shrink her legs desperately, and closed her eyes almost in despair.
"Card! Prepare for the next game."
Smith raised the reel-like script and waved it high, poking his face out from behind the monitor, "Switch the track of the camera, adjust the camera position, and change the scene to take another one!"
This scene is not a whole, nor does it involve a narrow space like stairs, so it is a room built by the studio on site, with a green curtain wall at the back, and Gu Yunkai hangs the coercion on a higher green cloth platform—— This will be modified into another building in the later stage. The actress who played Cornelia and the zombie actor also climbed up quickly, picked up their props and adjusted their positions according to the assistant director's command.
Sometimes even if it is a coherent plot, there will be slight differences in the costumes and styles of the actors. This is because many scenes are cut and shot, and there will be some accidents during the makeup process. Shoes and even the accessories on your hands will change and change for this reason.Due to the fact that Gu Yunkai will play Lan in a lot of martial arts scenes later, this scene was almost cut into three or four parts for filming.
"Yunkai, are you ready?" It was not good for Smith to shout at this moment, so he took out his loudspeaker and yelled - usually radios and the like are only used for communication in large outdoor scenes.
Gu Yunkai took a deep breath, nodded and gestured that there was no problem.
An iron arrow pierced through from nowhere and directly nailed the zombie to the wall. Cornelia loosened her arms a little and opened her eyes cautiously. The zombie was completely unresponsive. Before she had time to cheer, I saw a man smash through the window, rolled on the ground and stood up.
It was cut into a lot of shots here, countless pieces of glass shattered in the air, scattered, and Gu Yunkai was blurred behind him, this is probably a slow motion capture of a few seconds.Gu Yunkai jumps into the window and smashes through the glass window that has been processed. First, there is one shot, and then another shot is rolled on the spot. The flying glass shards serve as a link in the middle. After post-processing, it is a handsome and smooth shot, but It was very troublesome to shoot.
After the glass window was smashed, the ground was basically made of real glass. If Gu Yunkai had been attached to the real glass and rolled around on the spot, that freshly baked porcupine would have been born.
These few shots alone took about three or four hours to shoot. Fortunately, the window-jumping shot only passed one. Gu Yunkai has a camera on the left and right sides to ensure that the required scenes can be captured.
Gu Yun rolled over on the spot and then stood up consecutively. He did this posture more than ten times. He patted the jacket on his body, and secretly thanked Smith for adding a jacket to him temporarily. Otherwise, according to the current shooting situation, No matter what happened to him, he would be bleeding.
After finally passing these two shots, there was still some time left, and Smith naturally would not waste it. The entire crew followed the instructions and started shooting again.
Of course, the zombie shot through the head is not the actor himself, but a model made by the props team. It looks almost exactly the same as the real person. Only when you touch it, you can feel the slight difference, because the material will be softer than the real person, so The interior has also been specially reinforced to prevent the props from being exposed during the action, and a lot of adjusted blood bags have been added to the head.
The iron arrow sank slightly into the wall. Firstly, it was just a prop wall, which might not be as strong as the target; Auxiliary objects can cause a seemingly lethal effect, but in fact, if it were made of wood, Gu Yunkai would not have that kind of arm strength.
However, the visual effect was indeed very good, Smith was still taken aback for a while, and had a new understanding of Gu Yunkai's ferocity.
Cornelia's actor had already finished her makeup, she raised her head and looked at Gu Yunkai with teary eyes, and the filming officially started.
With a downcast face, Lan stepped on the zombie with one foot, and suddenly pulled out his own iron arrow. The arrow pierced the blood pack, and immediately the minced meat and red blood spilled out. It was not as viscous as human blood, and more Like pus that had rotted for a long time, it splashed all over the ground, blood dripped from the arrow, and he put it back into the quiver.
"Can you still go?"
The man's voice was deep and cold. The cameraman took off the camera and looked up at Gu Yunkai's face. As the camera position changed, Gu Yunkai also changed the angle slightly. He stretched out his hand with the light behind his back, and was caught Cornelia, who was squeezed in the back, was cautiously probing against the cameraman, hesitated, and finally held out her hand to create a first-person perspective shot.
"Yes! Are the actors of the zombies ready?" Smith looked carefully at the monitor and frowned, "Let Norwich and the others get ready, then run in two groups, and the cameras will be in place!"
In fact, there are still a few minutes of shots between Cornelia and Lan, but due to the problem of the venue, it is not suitable for today's shooting, so it was assigned to a later itinerary, and now we want to shoot the scene where the two of them meet the team.There are many zombie actors behind each of the two groups, and they want to get together.
Smith also specifically asked Gu Yunkai if he wanted to take a break. The few shots just taken had exhausted Gu Yunkai's energy too much. It's not that Smith is really so caring. As an actor, Smith would only find fault with her. However, Gu Yunkai's status in the crew is different depending on his position.
For example, Gu Yunkai's action scenes were filmed several times in a row, and Smith didn't get angry. If it were someone else, he would probably growl—even if it wasn't the actor's problem at all.
Gu Yunkai thought about it, but waved his hand and refused. He just took a sip of hot water and Judy was already ready. This time, the shooting is a panoramic view of the entire studio. In fact, the distance is not long, but everyone has to Show a desperate running posture, so you have to control your speed, neither too fast nor too slow.
Smith is also adjusting the position, and the shooting scene after that can be said to be shaky. Not only the zombie actors are working hard, but even Norwich has exerted all his strength. He is a tall and strong man, running But it is quite vigorous and flexible. It is like the body of an orangutan plus the agility of a monkey. It has more visual impact than a zombie, including taking care of the whole team and letting the actors run forward one by one. Compared with Lan and Cornelia Personally it's a bit eclipsed.
There are more people on one side and fewer people on the other, but the zombies are coming in mighty like the sea. The camera finally shows Cornelia crying and throwing herself into the arms of the old man behind Norwich, while Norwich and Gu Yunkai Confrontation is the end of the shot.
Originally, it was planned to shoot another scene where Norwich and Gu Yunkai led everyone to a safe area and had a fight because of mutual distrust, but due to time constraints, the shooting of this scene was delayed.
Even this part was filmed several times due to the rhythm and sequence. After the end, all the actors were out of breath. Gu Yunkai and Norwich are both year-round fitness people, but it’s okay. Some extras have already fallen to the ground .After Judy finished, she handed over a towel. Gu Yunkai wiped the sweat from his brow and calmed down, but suddenly felt a burning gaze on him. It was a member of the Norwich team. Actor of a genius boy who likes to dismantle machine parts.
Seeing Gu Yunkai's gaze shifted over, he quickly turned his face away, chatting with the person next to him as if nothing had happened.
Gu Yunkai didn't think much about it, he just frowned, and ended today's filming work, but Norwich noticed his gaze, and smiled ambiguously. I don't know if he misunderstood something, but Gu Yun Kai and Norwich can only be regarded as nodding acquaintances. He had invited Gu Yunkai several times before but was rejected, so naturally he would not come up to make fun of him.
As for how Norwich guessed and what he misunderstood, Gu Yunkai was not interested at all. After Smith asked everyone to disperse, he honestly went to the trailer to change his clothes and remove the makeup on his face. , but unexpectedly remembered a not-too-important thing: Arnold was not there during the entire shooting this afternoon.
Today's scene is not light. According to Arnold's mentality of studying and learning, he will stay until the afternoon. Of course, it's another matter to rush to other things.
Gu Yunkai pondered for a while, then stood naked in front of the closet and put on his leather jacket casually. He had just experienced an action scene, and his body was almost covered in sweat. Sweaty, he simply put on a coat and went out to get in the car, ready to go back to the hotel.
When we arrived at the hotel, it was already very late, the waiter politely asked about Gu Yunkai's dinner, Gu Yunkai looked at the restaurant, thought about it, let the waiter send it to the room, and went back to the room bath.I shot for a whole afternoon today, and besides the smell of sweat, I also got a lot of brand new large bruises, but this is something I'm used to. Gu Yunkai pressed it a little, but it still hurts.
Action scenes usually have a certain degree of danger, not to mention that the role of Lan is positioned in this way. No matter how protective measures are taken by the crew, it cannot be avoided, but usually minor injuries such as bruises do not affect the overall situation. Acting is not too important, but except for really important injuries, basically the crew still prefers to continue filming, don't delay, if the actors insist, then the crew will not force them to continue filming.
So there are people who are injured, and there are not a few celebrities who avoid filming because of dizziness, hand pain, fear of sequelae, etc.
Gu Yun opened a bathrobe and came out. The waiter had already put the dinner on the table. He rubbed the bruise on his arm and found the medicinal wine in the room.
Gu Yunkai was not used to the atmosphere in Smith's crew, but he was quite familiar with it. After thinking for a long time, he realized that it was no different from his working environment in his previous life. Everyone was wary of each other, for fear that others would drag him down. Every actor and commercial film The style of fast food is not far from each other, they are all eager to climb up and stand out, thick-skinned and dark-hearted.
Of course, there are some individual actors who may not be like this, but Norwich and other actors with many roles almost all have this characteristic.
Obviously it should be the most handy occasion, and it is the same job, but Gu Yunkai doesn't know why, but feels unaccustomed to it.The air conditioner in the room was properly adjusted, and the dinner was still steaming hot. Gu Yunkai unscrewed the lid of the medicinal wine and poured some on his hand, carelessly rubbing the bruise on himself. It hurt a little but he could bear it. The confusion about his career made him a little absent-minded.
"bell--"
Gu Yunkai leaned forward to have a look, and found that it was a video conversation sent by Jian Yuan, and he connected with it with a simple swipe of his finger.
Jian Yuan on the other side of the screen seemed to be under the bed or something, hunched over there, not knowing what to do, a little out of breath, seeing Gu Yunkai connected, blinked his eyes, raised his After a while, the phone said: "All the photos you sent me are here. They are very beautiful. I just had a sudden inspiration and I want to show you."
It was only then that Gu Yunkai realized that he was picking up sheet music under the piano.
"Are you injured?" Before Gu Yunkai could speak, Jian Yuan immediately opened his mouth again. He blinked, and caught the shadow in the corner of the screen very keenly. His reaction was so quick that Gu Yunkai almost thought it was him. A pair of ears pricked up on his forehead, he looked carefully, frowned and said, "It looks so serious."
"It's okay." Gu Yunkai said succinctly, pulled up the bathrobe hastily, lay down on the pillow and continued chatting with Jian Yuan, "There are always these problems when shooting."
Jian Yuan frowned, and he puffed up his face as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't say it in the end, but he obviously lost his interest in playing.Gu Yunkai squeezed his shoulders, realized that the other party's interest was suddenly low, and more or less guessed what it was about, so he couldn't help but smiled slightly: "It's just that I accidentally bumped into it, that's how work is, how can I It's smooth sailing, no one thinks about getting hurt, but it's inevitable, let alone just a little bruise."
"If I say... I don't want you to act anymore, will it be too much?" Jian Yuan hesitated for a moment, then suddenly said, "I don't want you to misunderstand, and it doesn't mean that we just got married and wanted you to leave you The career I like is not because I don’t trust you, but I have been thinking about what is the difference between us and before. We live together and get married. My love for you has never faded. It is because of this, so I Only then did I find it harder to bear.”
Although Jian Yuan's words were a bit confusing, Gu Yunkai still clearly understood the meaning of his words—it would be better to say that as long as Jian Yuan was nervous, when he talked to him to express his feelings, he always said more or less Somewhat upside down.It can even be said that what surprised Gu Yunkai was that Jian Yuan did not make such a request until now.
There is an old saying in the entertainment circle called "Walk by the river, never get your shoes wet", which means nothing more than to ridicule various celebrity couples who have affairs in marriage or play their own way after marriage.In this circle, newcomers come out every day. In a sense, the temptations of big stars who have achieved fame are far more than others. There are even many couples who will not say anything as long as they don't blow it out.
What's more, they will cover each other, as long as they don't explode, it doesn't matter.
No matter how much Jian Yuan trusts Gu Yunkai, he is a normal, ordinary man who is no less possessive and longing for his lover than anyone else. Supporting Gu Yunkai's career does not mean that he will not feel uncomfortable because of such an insider atmosphere. Worry.Not to mention that human beings are a kind of creature that pushes forward. At first, Jian Yuan thought that he would be satisfied as long as he disclosed his relationship, but after the relationship reached its peak, he began to long for marriage, and after getting marriage, he hoped to see each other often.
Not to mention that Gu Yunkai is still injured now, which is undoubtedly the last straw on the camel's back. In fact, the injury is irrelevant. If you change your mood, at a different time, or even at a different location, nothing may happen. It just so happens that it is now .However, Jian Yuan obviously hesitated, he was silent for a moment and then said: "You have your dream, I have mine, I will not force you, Yun Kai, I just want to tell you what I think, and let You make the choice that is right for you."
"I really want you to be with me and appear every time I play." Jian Yuan put the score on the table, lowered his head and said softly, "We can be together every day, no matter where we go, you You will see every note I write, they are all born for you, you will always be my first audience. I think so every day, I am a very selfish man, but I also know that you are not like your mother Similarly, I can't ask you to constantly compromise with me and give up for me, you let me stick to music, so I can't be a barrier between you and your dreams."
Gu Yunkai gently pinched his shoulders and nodded silently. Many emotional hidden dangers are like small dark wounds, so densely packed that they are so faint that you don't notice them. Pain; Jian Yuan has never been like this, probably due to the nature of an artist, he is sensitive and will speak out anything, so sometimes even if he feels pain, he can solve such problems early.
He never forced Gu Yunkai to make a choice, and he didn't mind what Gu Yunkai asked him for in a meeting.
"The person I want to see different scenery with you is me, not a lucky person on the side of the road." Jian Yuan said softly, "Father always said that I was too childish, I think this evaluation is indeed correct, I always expect Hope that everything can be perfect, obviously I don't want to give up music, but I hope to be with you for a long time. You are so tired, I still want you to listen to these words, I'm sorry."
"There is nothing to be sorry for." Gu Yunkai immediately vetoed it, and then repeated, "You are right, there is nothing to be sorry for."
Jian Yuan became quiet, his fingers slid across the keys, and a gentle melody flowed out, the melody was like an empty street under the blue sky and white clouds, the wind blowing through the fallen leaves, the voice of an empty and lonely heart.
Gu Yunkai suddenly thought very calmly: This is actually not my dream, it doesn't matter what I do.
Jianyue can understand this kind of thinking; although he has not climbed to the top height, he has also reached a position that Gu Yunkai could never reach before; acting is not something he has to do, but for the sake of acting. For him, Jian Yuan is an absolutely impossible decision...
The heart of retreating is firm.
