Chapter 43

"Black Clouds" is a biographical movie adapted from reality. Although everything does not have to follow reality, the general framework and reality are consistent. For example, every main character really exists in reality, and for example, Gu Mingxiu's death is indeed a turning point in his life for Ling Xiao.

From debuting in his teenage years, to winning the first Golden Melody Award trophy at the age of 20, to his success and fame in his thirties, Ling Xiao has long become a well-deserved singer in China. But when he was thirty-six, the unexpected death of his best partner, the imperial lyricist Gu Mingxiu, hit Ling Xiao a lot.

After that, Ling Xiao only released one album and only held the concert twice.

Five years later, Ling Xiao also died of illness.

This scene tonight was filmed by Ling Xiao who arrived at the hospital and was invited by the police to claim the body. Gu Mingxiu's parents died early, had no relatives, and were not married at the age of 44, so he had no children. His best friend was Ling Xiao. The police had long recognized Gu Mingxiu's identity, but asked the other party's relatives and friends to claim it. This is a necessary procedure and must be done.

So that morning, Ling Xiao received a call from his agent Zhao Chuyun and came to the hospital.

There was silence on the set, and everyone held their breath and waited for the filming of the scene to begin.

The scene had long been deployed as a hospital scene, with white walls and white corridors, all of which were so white that it was cold. Rong Xu and Yu Siyu stood at the other end of the corridor, and both changed into costumes, put on makeup, and waited for the filming to start.

"Act 362, scene 3, start filming!"

When the sound of the board sounded, all the staff's eyes immediately gathered at the end of the corridor.

The agent played by Yu Siyu has always been calm and rational, but today, she also specially dripped special eye drops, which made her eyes red and looked exhausted. Beside her, the handsome and elegant man lowered his eyes, staring at the ground in a daze, and following behind her agent.

Walking through the corridor and going to the room - it is the first scene of this scene.

It should be said that this scene director Liang used long shots and was ready to shoot scenes for a full minute.

The camera kept following Rong Xu and moved forward as he moved forward. The superb skills of the optician made this indoor scene filmed at night seem to be really shining in from the window at the end of the corridor, shining on Rong Xu's soft hair, reflecting a brilliant golden light.

He always lowered his eyes and looked at the ground quietly, walking slowly, but he was walking step by step.

Looking at the scene in the monitor, Director Liang's face gradually became solemn. He carefully observed the composition, color, shooting rhythm and angle of the entire picture, and watched the performance of the two actors with particular serious attention.

This scene is one of the most important scenes for "Black Clouds", and is Ling Xiao's turning point in his life. Therefore, this scene must not be careless. As long as a one-minute long shot makes a mistake, Director Liang will call for a jam without hesitation and reshoot it resolutely.

At this moment, the sunlight in the morning is soft and beautiful, and the hospital is peaceful and peaceful, as if everything in the world is extremely warm.

However, Gu Mingxiu was dead.

Ling Xiao lowered his head and followed Zhao Chuyun. Because he was not walking fast, Zhao Chuyun stopped from time to time to wait for him. It was only a dozen meters away, and the two walked for almost a minute before they reached the door.

This detailed performance made Director Liang nod in satisfaction.

Over there, Yu Siyu and Rong Xu had already rehearsed the scene in advance.

The elite woman in a suit subconsciously prepared to push the door, but before she could touch the door panel, she stopped and turned to look at her artist. After a long time, she whispered: "You can open the door... Ling Xiao."

Ling Xiao lowered his head silently and said nothing.

Zhao Chuyun was also silent. After a long time, she sighed softly and reached out to touch the door handle. However, this time, before she could open the door, the door was opened from the inside.

The policeman in uniform looked up and down at them. When he saw Ling Xiao, a look of admiration flashed in his eyes, but soon he hid it and said in a business manner: "The body should be Mr. Gu. At 8:04 this morning, Mr. Gu drove a black car and collided with a truck in the middle of the West Ring Road. The other party was driving fatigued and was currently detained in the police station. Today, please ask the two to recognize the body."

Zhao Chuyun and Ling Xiao were quickly taken to the house. The house was not big, with a narrow bed in the middle, and a long white cloth covered the people on the bed.

It seems that he has seen too much about separation from life and death, and Gu Mingxiu has no relatives and family members. The police did not take care of the deceased's friends' mood. He directly lifted the white cloth in the local area and asked, "Is it Mr. Gu?"

Just as the white cloth was lifted, Ling Xiao suddenly turned his head and looked out the window. Zhao Chuyun couldn't help but cover her mouth and saw the facts with her own eyes. She could not suppress the grief in her heart, so she could only nod: "Yes."

The police put down the white cloth again.

"...No." A hoarse and low voice suddenly rang in the quiet room.

The policeman was stunned and looked at Ling Xiao: "Mr. Ling, isn't this Mr. Gu?"

Ling Xiao still turned around and looked out the window, but his hoarse voice came out word by word from the cracks of his teeth: "He is not."

The two policemen in the room looked at each other. No matter how hard Zhao Chuyun was, she kept covering her mouth and crying. However, the other friend of the deceased insisted that this person was not Gu Mingxiu. So how do you calculate this? This person is Gu Mingxiu!

The older policeman stepped forward and said in a vocal voice: "The deceased is gone, Mr. Ling, please beg for the change."

"He is not!" A sudden sound of high elevation suddenly rang out, echoing in the room for a long time. Ling Xiao turned his head suddenly and said in a firm and determined tone: "He is not! He is really not, he is not Gu Mingxiu, I don't know him...he is not..."

When the young man turned his head, the scene suddenly became silent. Director Liang looked at the scene in the monitor and widened his eyes.

In this picture, the elegant and beautiful Ling Xiao's eyes were red, tears kept spinning in his eyes, his lips were biting tightly, and his body was trembling with excitement, but he opened his eyes wide to stop the tears from falling.

It's like a person who has reached the end, despairingly denying everything.

On the set, Yu Siyu's highlight was over. She cried very instantly and grasped the transition between the two identities of "strong woman" and "friend". But Rong Xu's key scenes had just begun. He looked at the old policeman in front of him and said "he is not". He repeated stubbornly, as if this could become a fact.

Then the old policeman sighed, opened his side and pulled the white cloth away, and asked, "Isn't it really not, Mr. Ling?"

The voice stopped abruptly, and Ling Xiao's eyes fell on the man's face unexpectedly. Everything seemed to be as vivid as last night. Gu Mingxiu's face turned a little pale, and there was a finger-sized scar on his forehead. He closed his eyes tightly, as if he was asleep.

The old policeman put down the white cloth and said again: "It happened suddenly, please feel sorry for the change."

The bright sunlight came in from the window, and a layer of golden fine sand fell on the ground. The No. 3 aircraft gave Rong Xu a close-up. In those clear and clean eyes, tears accumulated and settled, pupils trembled gently, and their eyes stared firmly on the white cloth.

After a while, in the second camera, Director Liang saw that Rong Xu suddenly laughed.

He raised the corner of his mouth and smiled gently. This smile seemed to be no different from what he had in the past, but when you looked closely, you could find that his lips were trembling, his cheeks were trembling, and his whole body was trembling slightly. Then, tears flowed out of his eyes in an instant.

The young man smiled and looked at the old policeman, and then at the younger policeman next to him. His face was full of smiles, but tears kept flowing from his eyes, flowing through the corners of his mouth, and flowing into his lips.

I don’t know whether it’s bitter or idle, but it must be very astringent.

At this time, the warm and brilliant sunshine still shone his hair soft and golden, but he laughed and cried, repeating again: "He is not...he really...not..."

There was only Ling Xiao gasping in the room. He suppressed the crying in his throat, but there were things that could not be suppressed. He looked at every corner of the room with his usual smile, but the only one he didn't look at was the bed covered with white cloth and the...the person under the white cloth.

"He is not..."

On the set, the slightly more emotional staff had already shook their heads gently and was infected by this "smiling and crying" emotion.

He was clearly laughing, but he was also crying, repeating the same sentence stubbornly over and over again. In the quiet room, only the laughter mixed with crying echoed. Rong Xu smiled softly, and as he smiled, there was no sound again, leaving only tears and a smile that seemed to be stiff on his face forever.

There was silence on the set. After a long time, Director Liang shouted loudly: "Card!"

Soon, Yu Siyu's assistant walked up and helped her wipe her tears. The makeup artist also rushed forward and prepared to help Rong Xu and Yu Siyu put on makeup in case they had to take another shot. But even though he had called the card, tears kept flowing down her calm eyes, and the makeup artist was stunned for a moment.

Rong Xu whispered hoarsely, "Don't worry, let me think about it for a while."

The young makeup artist nodded quickly, and Rong Xu turned around and covered her face with her hands. Her fingers were still twitching gently, and tears also flowed down from her fingers.

When the news of "Rong Xu is still crying" reached Director Liang and a man's ears, it was already three minutes later.

The makeup artist helped Qin Cheng take some makeup a little more, and suddenly he heard the other two makeup artists whisper: "I want to cry when I see it. Rong Xu's acting skills are really good. He can't stop yet. He should be really working hard on acting and has a strong infectiousness."

A hint of surprise flashed in the dark phoenix eyes. Qin Cheng immediately stood up from the bed and walked to Rong Xu's side. He shouted "Rong Xu" softly. The young man immediately turned around, but his tears had stopped. His eyes were still red, his face was a little pale, and he was a little haggard.

Qin Cheng was stunned.

Seeing Qin Cheng suddenly coming, Rong Xu smiled and raised the corners of his lips and said, "What's wrong? Is there anything wrong?"

Qin Cheng was silent for a moment and asked, "Don't be too sad."

Rong Xu nodded slightly, and the two of them quickly talked about other topics, but it took only a long time before the venue informed Rong Xu: "Director Liang said to take a photo again."

When many staff around him were surprised when they heard this.

"No, right? The scene was filmed so well just now, why did you still need to be refilmed? I'm about to cry."

"I'm already crying... Rong Xu is so infectious. I feel so sad when I see him crying. If it were my best friend in my life... Bah bah bah bah bah, what am I talking about."

The discussions of people around him came into Rong Xu's ears. He smiled and said to the venue staff: "Okay, I understand. I will make up for a little makeup, and Sister Yu and I will continue."

The venue left quickly, but the staff's discussions never stopped. The staff spoke vividly, as if Rong Xu's interpretation had just made them fall into the role. But they did not say false, because many people's eyes were indeed red and their voices were a little hoarse, and they should have really shed tears just now.

Listening to these people's words, Qin Cheng frowned slightly.

Rong Xu went to put on makeup again, and Qin Cheng surrounded him, waved to his assistant, and asked, "How did he act just now?"

The assistant's voice was also a little choked, and he lowered his head honestly and said, "I laughed and cried. It was so good..."

...So, everyone on the scene saw Rong Xu's acting skills with their own eyes, but he couldn't see them?!

His face suddenly sank. For the first time, Qin Cheng regretted so much that he actually took on this role.

However, it was useless to regret. The final scene was soon filmed for the second time. During this second time, Director Liang was not satisfied enough and asked Rong Xu to film the third time. After the third time, Director Liang looked at the scene in the monitor, thought for a long time, and finally nodded and said, "Okay, the end of this scene, let's choose the first shot."

Everyone: "..."

Rong Xu: "..."

Qin Cheng: “…”

Is there anyone who is so troubled by you?!

In any case, after experiencing this long-shot crying scene, even Rong Xu was exhausted.

Crying scenes are a test of actors. If you just want to do a performance and think that even if you fall into tears is a crying scene, then you are just crying, not crying.

When you really become a character, you will empathize with him and cry with him. Some actors will get depressed, sometimes not because of other life reasons, but because of a play he has acted in, and he is really involved in, unable to get out and immerse himself in it.

Of course, Rong Xu only took three minutes to get out of the show, but within one minute of filming, he seemed to have really become Ling Xiao. No one here knew what kind of reaction Ling Xiao reacted when he saw Gu Mingxiu's corpse eight years ago. But they felt that Rong Xu's performance was the best, and what other reactions could he have?

The greatest sorrow is that it can infect people and make people cry with you.

After this scene ended, today's scene was over. This is the finale of the male second-ranked actor. According to the crew's rules, a finale banquet would have to be held. But because the target was Qin Cheng, even Director Liang didn't know how to mention this matter, so he had to ask Yu Siyu to ask.

Director Liang rubbed his hands: "Xiao Yu, I remember you once made a movie with Qin Cheng?"

Yu Siyu said silently: "...That happened five years ago. Director Liang, at that time, I was just a female fourth-place actress and had no rivalry with Qin Cheng."

Director Liang was stunned.

However, the matter was easy to solve. Yu Siyu pondered for a while and found Rong Xu. Soon, Rong Xu walked straight to Qin Chengdi and curled his lips: "Tonight, do you need to hold a final banquet? Everyone will celebrate, which can be regarded as sending you out of the crew."

In this crew, only Director Liang and Screenwriter are older than Qin Cheng's qualifications, so today they are the only two of them who have given Qin Cheng a shocking red envelope. If you want to celebrate the completion of Qin Cheng's play, you can only take advantage of the opportunity to finish the festival.

Looking at the boy's warm and gentle smile, Qin Cheng raised his eyebrows slightly and did not refuse.

So amid the cheers of the crew, after work, Director Liang invited him to the hotel next to S City Film and Television City. At this moment, Han Yanghao, who had been silent for a whole day and said nothing, finally appeared on the Internet.
