It could be said that all the actors were excited when they saw the script. It was the first time they saw such a script and they wanted to challenge themselves.
However, after the filming began, they were tortured to the point of doubting their lives.
When shooting the charge scene, Kang Honglei took the machine gun stand outside the field to shoot empty shells in order to make the details realistic and make them bend over to charge.
Initially, they had some complaints. However, Meng Wenming, the screenwriter, had taken the lead and risked his life, so they could not say anything.
The scene that they were filming today was the Dragon's Essay in Court. This was the scene with the most lines for Meng Wenming, who was also the male lead.
“action！”
After Kang Honglei shouted, Meng Wenming was brought to the lobby by two soldiers.
At this moment, he seemed to have become one with Long Wenzhang. He looked curiously at the hall, at the worried eyes of the cannon fodder regiment, and then his gaze fell on Yu Xiaoqing, who was sitting on the main seat.
"Name!" At this moment, Tang Ji, who was beside Yu Xiao Qing, asked. His Tang Shan accent was funny.
"Dragon essay, dragon as in dragon and phoenix, essay as in writing articles.”Long Wenzhang replied unhurriedly.
"Age."
"He was born in the thirty-fourth year of Guangxu.”
Donkey thought for a moment,"That should be..." 34 years old."
"Cixi also died that year. It's the 31st year of the Republic of China now. Do you want to return to Manchu?" Yu Xiao Qing tried his best to find fault with Long Wen Zhang.
Long Wenzhang put on an aggrieved look and said weakly,"No, it's just easy to remember."?”
Kang Honglei looked at the screen. All the actors were in good condition. No one was a burden, and no one dared to be a burden.
......
"Where did you learn how to fight?"
"I've seen many dead people.”
"Where did you learn how to fight?”
After a few questions and answers, it was the main point of this scene, the introduction of Long Wen's article.
Meng Wenming had to memorize this line for three whole days. Even if he had written it himself, it was still a matter of transportation. Writing and memorizing were two completely different things.
Kang Honglei was a famous impromptu maniac in the industry. Many times, when an actor made a mistake, he wouldn't stop. It depended on how the actor improvised. Moreover, there were many scenes that he wanted to finish in one shot.
It could be said that for many actors, acting in Kang Honglei's group was really painful and happy.
"The places I've been to, the places we've lost. Beiping's Braised Tripe and Shabu-Fried Pork, Huangcheng Root, and Nanjing's Dried Shredded Dumpling. There was also the Qinhuai Breeze and Moon, Shanghai's Oyster Oyster Pancake, the Flower World that made me stare, Tianjin Mahua Goubuli, Guangzhou Boat Congee and Rice Roll, Lushunkou's salted fish cake and battery, Northeast's three delicacies, dog meat soup, pickled cabbage and white meat stewed vermicelli, Lao Linzi who was struggling to find a way to survive, Huo Dian Dian's duck blood soup, stinky tofu and Changsha City that had already been ground into powder. It was all gone.”
Meng Wenming's expression seemed calm when he said this, but there was a hint of undetectable sorrow in his tone.
"I have no self-restraint." Meng Wenming looked at Xing Jiadong and said.
"I don't have it either." Xing Jiadong continued.”
"If you don't have self-restraint, you don't have to see with your own eyes that half of China is gone before you start to feel anxious and heartache. You don't have to wait until all the people of China are dead before you start to feel heartache and anxiety. I haven't been to Tieli, Fuyu, Hulunchi, Hailaer River, Beierchi, Changbai Mountain, Daxing 'an, Xiaoxing' an, Yingkou, Anton, Laoha River, Chengde, Guojiatun, Wanquan, Luanhe, Baihe, Sanggan River, Beiping, Tianjin, Jiyuan, Suigui, Zhentoubao, Licheng, Daokou, Yangqu, Kaifeng, Ruicheng…I'm a person who's anxious. These three words were a land and a people, a great defeat and an astronomical number of lives. Nanyang, Xiangyang, Kuoqidian, Changtai Pass, Zhengyang Pass, Yingshui, Rushui, Chaohu Hongze Lake, Zhenjiang, Nanjing, Huaining... Shanghai, Huaiyin, Suzhou, Hangzhou, Huangpu River, Taihu Lake, Nanchong... Tunxi, Lu 'an, Jiujiang, Wuchang, Hankou, Xiushui, Yichang... Tengchong, Heshun, and Chanda, where we were.”
"Chan Da wasn't lost." Xing Jiadong said.
Meng Wenming was a little excited at this moment." If we continue like this, we will be happy. We can go back three to four days without drinking water, live four to five days without eating, and live seven to eight days without pooping. The trivial matters that feed us will cost our lives. We have lived for six to seven years after our country was destroyed.”
"I want things to be the way they are.”
After he said that, the entire place fell silent. Meng Wenming's acting skills were not considered top-notch among the group of capable actors, but he could still keep up with the majority and understand the characters.
It could be said that among the new generation of actors, Meng Wenming's acting skills were unmatched. Only the actors present could compare to him.
Of course, compared to those veteran actors, Meng Wenming still had a long way to go.
......
He had thought that it was the most difficult part, and he did not make any mistakes. He passed it in one go. However, he did not expect Meng Wenming to encounter a problem later.
"Wenming, it's true that you have to let go of your acting, but you've gone too far.”Kang Honglei said as he observed Meng Wenming's performance.
Meng Wenming came to the machine and looked at his performance.
Kang Honglei pointed at the screen and said," You're too open. You have to know that when Long Wenzhang was doing this, his mind was clear. He knew why he did it."
It was a little too much compared to his performance just now, as if he was really jumping on a big rope. However, Long Wenzhang was fooling Yu Xiaoqing. You have to understand this and stop it.”
Meng Wenming nodded repeatedly. It was true that his acting skills could explode at any time, but it was still a little difficult for him to control himself.
"Then let me try again." As Meng Wenming spoke, he began to search for his state again.
This time, it was much better than the last time. There was no longer the feeling of overexertion. It looked just right.
"Director Kang, let me do it again! I think I can do better." Meng Wenming said to Kang Honglei.
Kang Honglei waved his hand and said," Don't give me that. You only have one chance. I've already given you two chances. Life is like a play. You only have one life and one chance.”
Meng Wenming shook his head helplessly. He had forgotten that Kang Honglei was famous for his strictness. Most of the time, he would not give him a second chance.
