Chapter 482 Cloud Border Town does not leave any regrets, if you want to take a picture, take the best one (Ch 482)

“There’s a small shop at the edge of the cloud. 723 shots, 6 times in 1 scene. 321. Start!”

With a snap, the camera slowly retreated, and Qi Jia, who played Liu Shisan, walked to the pine tree with a lantern in hand and heavy steps.

Gritting his teeth, he raised his frozen hands with great effort and tried to tie the lantern to the branch…

He has filmed the same action five times.

Every time after tying the lanterns, Zhang Jiajia would shout “cut” because he felt that Qi Jia did not show the difficulty that Liu Shisan experienced when being frozen when tying the lanterns.

In fact, it was not just Zhang Jiajia, Qi Jia himself felt the same way, but no matter how he adjusted his body movements, he still could not meet the director’s requirements.

He even asked the crew to bring a bucket of ice from the refrigerator in the RV, buried his hands in the ice for more than ten minutes, and then continued filming.

But it is still impossible to achieve the feeling of having blood vessels constricted due to extremely low temperatures, slow nerve conduction, and muscles becoming stiff and uncontrollable.

This is the sixth time.

Before the start, the crew applied lubricant on the rope. Qi Jia tried to hold the rope with shaking hands, but because of the lubricant, it took several attempts before he succeeded.

If an uninformed audience saw this, they would definitely think that he was unable to grab the rope because his fingers were frozen.

But Qi Jia still felt that it was not working. He found that he was not immersed in the role.

This segment is the deepest emotional outburst point in the entire movie. As the leading actor, if I can’t get into the role and invest my emotions, how can I move the audience?

In front of the monitor, Zhang Jiajia nodded. Although he still lacked some feeling, this one could barely be used. Time was precious and he couldn’t waste it all on this one shot.

“Crack! Passed!”

After hearing the director finally say it, everyone on the top of the mountain felt relieved. Zhou Ye quickly took off the scarf that was warmed by his body temperature around his neck to warm Qi Jia’s hands.

But Qi Jia waved his hand, frowned and walked to Zhang Jia’s house and said,

“Director, I still think it’s not right. Let’s do it again.”

Everyone subconsciously stopped what they were doing when they heard this and looked at Qi Jia.

Zhang Jiajia looked at the time. It was already 4:20. There was less than an hour until sunrise. He looked at the storyboard again and said with some embarrassment,

“Time is running out. We still have four scenes to shoot. If we don’t finish it now, we’ll have to stay up late tonight…”

After hearing what the director said and looking at the tired expressions on the faces of the people around him, Qi Jia also hesitated.

In fact, he could have just arrogantly asked everyone to follow his requirements, after all, he was the producer, but this was not his character, he did not like to bully others.

However, he was very sure that he had already had a hint of feeling just now, and maybe he could catch it if he tried again. He didn’t want to give up just like that.

After all, he really likes this script and doesn’t want to have any regrets after it is released in the future.

Seeing Qi Jia’s embarrassed expression, Zhou Ye stepped forward and stood beside him and said,

“Brother Qi, I don’t want to leave any regrets. If we are going to shoot, we have to shoot the best. I will accompany you even if we have to stay up late.”

The stage manager was a fan of Zhou Ye. After hearing his goddess say this, he immediately jumped out and raised his hand and said,

“Let me say a few words. Brother Qi and Zhou Ye are usually so nice to us and rarely make requests to the crew. This time they have a rare wish, so I think we must support them!”

“We cannot let Yunbian Town have any regrets. I have finished speaking. Whoever agrees or disagrees, please leave it to me.”

The others looked at the proud stagehand and felt annoyed, thinking, why do you have so many scenes? Did we say we don’t agree to it?

Brother Qi and Zhou Ye are usually nice to everyone, don’t we know that? Do you really need to say that?

This time they are not asking for money or their lives, they just want to shoot a scene well. Even if they may have to stay up one more night, there is nothing wrong with agreeing to it!

Slowly, hands were raised one by one, and voices of approval came from everyone’s mouth.

“Yes, if you want to take pictures, take the best pictures.”

“At worst, I can just stay up another night and shoot!”

“Let the audience see the best of Liu Shisan and Cheng Shuang”

“Although the original novel is full of knives, this time we want to bring the audience a movie without regrets”

Zhang Jiajia, who was so excited, twitched his lips when he heard the last sentence. He looked up and found that it was the bastard who was teasing him again.

Qi Jia and Zhou Ye were also very excited and kept bowing to thank everyone for their support.

After two or three minutes, everyone agreed to take another shot. Zhang Jiajia immediately directed everyone to follow the instructions.

After everything was ready, Qi Jia said to Zhang Jiajia,

“Director, no matter how I perform this time, please don’t say “cut”. Just let me keep acting and we’ll see how it goes.”

Zhang Jiajia didn’t ask any more questions and nodded in agreement.

“There’s a small shop at the edge of the clouds. 723 shots in 1 scene, 7 times. Countdown starts at 321!”

There was nothing wrong with the first part, but soon it was time for the scene of hanging lanterns. Everyone’s expressions suddenly became nervous and they clenched their fists involuntarily.

Even his breathing slowed down, as if he was afraid that the sound of his breathing would disturb Qi Jia.

Qi Jia was in a very delicate state at this time. With the experience of failure in the previous times, he seemed to have completely immersed himself in the role this time.

The whole person seemed to be possessed by Liu Shisan. His eyes were dull and out of focus, with a grayish-white tint in his pupils. He looked like a body that had lost its soul and could only move numbly.

Suddenly, Qi Jia’s pupils shrank slightly, and his eyes fixed on a branch.

A voice deep in his heart told him to hang up the lantern so that grandma could find her way home.

Once, twice, three times, failed every time.

But Liu Shisan, played by Qi Jia, seemed to be possessed by a demon. He was still stubbornly trying to hang up the lantern with his fingers that had turned blue from the cold, stiff and clumsy.

Seeing this scene, many empathetic staff members on the scene secretly wiped away their tears.

Zhang Jiajia was a little disappointed at the same time as he appreciated it. Although Qi Jia performed Liu Shisan’s “self-destructive” psychological activities perfectly,

However, there was still no breakthrough in the details of tying the lanterns, and Liu Shisan’s obsession to “guide his grandmother home” was not intuitively displayed.

However, Qi Jia had warned him beforehand, so he didn’t plan to yell “cut” and continued to read on patiently.

But at this moment, something suddenly changed in the camera. Qi Jia stopped and no longer tried to tie the lantern with his hands.

Everyone was stunned. Before anyone could react,

Suddenly, Qi Jia pressed down the branch with one hand, grabbed the rope with the other hand, and bit the other end of the rope!

startle!!!

Everyone was stunned by the scene. Qi Jia had a sad face and tears in his eyes. He bit the hemp rope tightly with his teeth and tightened the knot fiercely.

In front of the monitor, Zhang Jiajia’s eyes widened. Through the close-up image transmitted back by the camera, he clearly saw a stream of blood oozing from the gums, staining the thin hemp rope red!

Everyone at the scene covered their mouths when they saw this scene, fearing that they would cry out loud. Hot tears rolled down their eyes.

At this moment, they truly felt the sadness in Liu Shisan’s heart…

(I changed this part a bit. It is different from the movie. I feel that the emotion expressed by simply clipping the lantern on in the movie is not strong enough.)
