340 Back to Basics Acting
"I Am Not a God of Medicine" is a script with a realistic theme and tells a very realistic story.
The male protagonist Cheng Yong is the owner of a health care product store. He is in middle age and has achieved nothing and lives a very cowardly life.
He was forced to divorce because of his domestic violence against his wife before, and he lost the custody of his children, so he could only spend a fixed time every week with his children.
Cheng Yong's health care product store is open in a dilapidated street. The business is very bleak and he can't make much money. However, his father is critically ill and needs money to help his life urgently.
What's even worse is that the ex-wife and a rich man were pregnant and had to take Cheng Yong's son abroad.
Faced with the pressure of one heavy burden after another in this kind of life, Cheng Yong was a little desperate and was about to be crushed for a while.
It was at this time that a man named Lu Shouyi came to his health care store.
Lu Shouyi is a leukemia patient. He begged Cheng Yong to go to India to smuggle imitation special medicines. While making money, it can also keep patients who cannot afford sky-high genuine medicines.
Cheng Yong needs money very much.
However… smuggling generic drugs is illegal.
Between making money and breaking the law, Cheng Yong was swaying from side to side.
The male protagonist Cheng Yong in the story is naturally played by Wei Xun.
Jiang Duzhou plays Lu Shouyi.
Shao Bing is not only the director of "I Am Not a God of Medicine", but also plays one of the roles, Cao Bin.
Cao Bin is a policeman and the younger brother of Cheng Yong's ex-wife.
The only role of Liu Sihui, who has more scenes, is considered the heroine, played by An Shi.
The last character Peng Hao, namely Huang Mao, was handed over to Yi Heng.
"Detective Chinatown 2" is still stuck at the film office and the male lead who promised to give it to Yi Heng cannot be filmed for the time being, so Wei Xun filled in Yi Heng into the crew of "I Am Not a God of Medicine".
To be honest, although the "Detective Chinatown" series is a big commercial film, the male lead Qin Feng's role is too "varnish", far less outstanding than the male supporting Huangmao in "The God of Medicine".
In fact, Wei Xun understands that someone is stuck with the intention that "Detective Chinatown 2" has not been given.
To be honest, there is no problem with "Detective Chinatown 2". It is a matter of time before passing the trial. Now it is not so much a stuck, but rather a drag.
After being reviewed for two months, "Detective Chinatown 2" will not be released next year's Spring Festival.
At that time, the medal will only have a low-cost movie "The God of Medicine" that seems to be "unfailed" in the box office.
As the director and male lead of "Detective Chinatown 2", Bao Qiang is now crazy and goes to the film bureau to urge him every day, and Zou Min is also anxious to find various solutions.
But Wei Xun himself was not in a hurry.
Because in his opinion, "Detective Chinatown 2" and "The God of Medicine" are released separately, which is actually a good thing.
This is the only way to maximize the box office benefits. Otherwise, the king will definitely not be worth the reward for the medal when he sees the kings colliding with each other.
But these words cannot be told to Zou Min and Bao Qiangming. Just as the filming of "The God of Medicine" started, Wei Xun took the opportunity to sneak out of Beijing.
"The God of Medicine" crew, dressing room.
"Mr. Wei, isn't you a little haggard like this?"
The makeup artist looked at Wei Xun's outfit in the mirror and asked hesitantly: "And, I basically didn't put on any makeup."
The filming officially started today after the opening ceremony of "The God of Medicine" was completed yesterday.
Now Wei Xun is doing makeup preparation with the help of a makeup artist.
Wei Xun in the mirror has long greasy hair, a haggard and tired look, and a numb face that is crushed by life. He is a failed little person living at the bottom of society.
Depressed and depressed, without goals, no direction, and no future.
When Wei Xun came yesterday, even though she was wearing simple jeans and short t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t
As a result, not long after sitting in the dressing room, the handsome guy instantly turned into a middle-aged depressed and greasy uncle. Even though he knew that this was a plot requirement, the makeup artist felt a little reluctant.
But Wei Xun himself was quite satisfied.
He stood up and looked at himself in the mirror, thought for a moment, then took out a cigarette from the drawer, put it in his ear, and said, "It's pretty good, just do it."
Cheng Yong himself has such a character.
After putting on makeup, Wei Xun walked out with the script. Jiang Duzhou was done, and the two looked at each other, and they were both surprised.
Jiang Duzhou was wearing a pair of glasses at the moment, and his hair was oily. Because of his leukemia, the makeup artist put him on even more haggard.
In short, in this realistic story, basically most characters are like this, and they are covered in dust and very disappointing.
“It looks pretty good.”
Wei Xun hammered Jiang Duzhou's shoulder and asked, "Old Shao means, maybe I'm going to make up for it first, let's go through a plot and find the feeling."
Jiang Duzhou followed him out and nodded, "Then you will definitely be the first one to go later. What do you say? It's hard to challenge whether it's Cheng Yong or Lu Shouyi. I've been preparing for so long but still haven't found out. I'll see your performance later."
I had seen Wei Xun's acting skills on the crew of "Let the Bullets Fly", so Jiang Duzhou definitely didn't worry that he would not be able to act well.
On the contrary, Jiang Duzhou looks forward to how Wei Xun can perform the role of Cheng Yong.
"Come on, all the actors who have made makeup come over and watch from the side."
On the set of the crew, when Wei Xun and Jiang Duzhou arrived, Shao Bing stood up to greet some actors' attention, then looked at Wei Xun and said with a smile: "Although this story is simple, it should be difficult to shoot. I think you come on stage and make a move first."
"I'm Not a God of Medicine" is really easy to shoot, it's about the story level.
But it is also difficult to shoot because such realistic movies have too high requirements for actors. Once they perform poorly, it is easy to get out of the show.
The closer you are to life, the more you need reality, because reality can touch people's hearts.
Wei Xun smiled and put down the script in his hand, saying, "Okay."
Actors such as Jiang Duzhou, Yi Heng, An Shi were all watching the crowd looking forward to it.
"The first scene of "I'm Not a God of Medicine" will start filming!"
The record of the game sets the quick-pitched.
Shao Bing sat behind the monitor and watched Wei Xun's performance from the screen.
This scene is in a health care product store. Cheng Yong leaned on an office chair, smoking with one hand and holding the mouse with the other, staring at the card game on the computer screen.
There are various health care products in the store.
His hair hasn't been washed for a long time, it's oily, his face is a little sallow, he looks not energetic, his smoking posture is lazy and decadent, and he can be just a slutty life.
An old man from the next store came to urge him to rent, and entered the store and said, "Old Cheng, the landlord called me again. I said you didn't open the door."
Cheng Yong held a cigarette in his mouth, vomited a mouthful of smoke, then poked his head out from behind the computer screen, and he had no expression and put his hands together, saying, "Thank you."
The old man said, "Hurry up and pay the rent."
Cheng Yong looked indifferent: "I don't have money. Did I sell the batch of oil in your store two days ago?"
The old man said, "No one buys it. Now everyone uses Brother X, and I use you, but I don't have any balls."
When the old man left, Cheng Yong's face looked a little unfavorable. He held a cigarette in his mouth and sneered: "You can't do it if you don't have a ball."
The old man is just a supporting role, and the camera is basically focused on Wei Xun.
And it is also a close-up shot, micro-expression, and small movements, which are basically captured by the camera and then enlarged.
Shao Bing sat behind the monitor and watched Wei Xun finish the show, and exclaimed in his heart.
Compared to a few years ago, Wei Xun's acting skills are now becoming more and more return to nature.
This is Cheng Yong himself.
