"First shot, first time, 1, 2, 3, start!"

"Crack!"

When everything was ready, director Gu Changwei finished talking about the scene with his hands on the table, Jiang Xiao and other actors rehearsed the scene twice, and the first scene of "Peacock" finally started shooting.

The crisp "pop" sound of the clapperboard is the beginning of the performance.

Jiang Xiao, who was directly involved in the play, completely ignored the other three people. He put his feet together, pressed his hands on the edge of the table, and kept his eyes on the candies on the table.

When Huang Meiying started counting the candies, she couldn't help but touch a candy on the edge with her right index finger, using such a small gesture to show her desire for candies.

After all, the background is set in the 1970s. At that time, being able to eat a piece of candy was definitely the best treatment.

Soon, when he retracted his finger with a trace of reluctance, Zhang Jingchu, who was sitting next to him, also stretched out a finger to touch the candy he had just touched.

Quite naturally, Jiang Xiao also turned his head at this moment and looked at Zhang Jingchu, who was wearing two braids. The moment they looked at each other, they looked at each other and smiled, showing a sense of joy.

After finishing, he continued to glance at Huang Meiying, who was counting the candies seriously, and Feng Li, whose head was already lying on the table.

During this process, especially when Jiang Xiao's eyes fell on the latter, the smile on his face instantly weakened a lot, and he quickly lowered his head again and stared at the candy again.

At the same time, he also activated the "gloomy eyes" in his heart and controlled the gloominess not to be too strong.

Regarding this point, he has tried it out a long time ago. After all, you cannot always look with your eyes wide open under any circumstances. You still have to use it according to the situation and it must be reasonable.

The reason why he uses gloomy eyes here is also to establish the relationship between the characters.

As mentioned before, because the character of the elder brother is not very bright, he will receive special care from his parents.

It will definitely create a gap in the role of the younger brother he plays, and being treated differently will always lead to such abnormalities.

So much so that in the script, there is a scene where the younger brother and older sister conspire to poison the elder brother. It is definitely an explosion of emotions that have accumulated to an extreme.

Why, why, just because my brother is not very bright, he has to force everyone in the family to give preference, regardless of the situation, but he has never considered the feelings of his brother and sister. Is it fair?

Just like in the next scene that connects this scene, after the candies were distributed, the younger brother saw with his own eyes that his brother, who had almost half of the candies, actually used them to feed the geese, which made him feel even more unfair.

All these things, when parents take things for granted and do not consider others, can sometimes be really hurtful.

That's why Jiang Xiao wanted to use this subtle expression method to establish the relationship between the characters and clearly show that he has feelings for the role of his brother, which is also a change in his mood.

The performance continued. Huang Meiying, who finally finished counting the candies, pushed the candies to the middle of the table again and said: "Well, okay, one hundred and six yuan, remove one...except for five, everyone is twenty-one."

Come on, take it all by yourself!"

At the same time, behind the monitor, looking at Huang Meiying's natural performance, director Gu Changwei also nodded slightly subconsciously, and felt that he was indeed an old actor and was very stable.

Following the remaining three actors, Jiang Xiao also surprised him, especially the eye scene is very good, and the changes in emotions can be completely felt through the camera.

At this time, there were 106 pieces of candy in the monitor, and the family of five divided them among themselves. There was just one extra piece. When the mother picked it up, her brother snatched it away.

During this process, Jiang Xiao's smile disappeared, and he still stared at his brother who happily ate the candy for a long time, and then he lowered his head with a gloomy look.

After he continued to see the candies on the table, a very subtle feeling of passion emerged again, which was also overwhelming.

The remaining Zhang Jingchu and Feng Li were not particularly satisfied with him. One's emotional transition was a bit laggy, while the other's "pretending to be stupid" went too far and needed to be tempered a bit.

However, Gu Changwei, who discovered the problem, did not stop filming because he wanted to finish filming the scene and get a feel for it, so he continued to stare at the monitor.

"The old rule is that each of your parents will give your brother ten yuan. If you two take less, it will be five yuan each."

Here, in the camera, after distributing the candies, Huang Meiying, after each looking at Jiang Xiao and Zhang Jingchu, said an old rule, and divided ten pieces of candies from her own pile of candies first.

During the process, Zhao Weiyi also walked into the camera from outside the camera and sat at the last remaining square table.

He also neatly divided out most of the candies to his brother, leaving only a small portion for himself.

This kind of behavior is very typical of the Chinese head of the family. He leaves most of the good things to his family members and only takes a small portion himself, or doesn't take any at all.

Immediately afterwards, Huang Meiying and Zhao Weiyi both looked at Jiang Xiao and Zhang Jingchu, as if urging them with their eyes.

In response, Jiang Xiao himself, who had regained his smile, lost all his smile again, and looked at each other again with Zhang Jingchu, who also no longer had a smile.

But Zhang Jingchu, who couldn't stand the look of her parents, still counted out five candies one by one.

But at the last moment, he took back another one, which seemed to be a kind of temptation or a small emotional resistance.

Seeing this, Jiang Xiao's eyes flashed slightly, and he also counted five candies and pushed them to the middle, including one fruit candy.

But just like Zhang Jingchu, the next second he took back the fruit candy and replaced it with an ordinary hard candy.

His move is both resistance and teasing. It is also like silent resistance and can also bring out the character's rich inner character.

This scene was not in the script, it was entirely Jiang Xiao's own performance.

It's still subconscious. I subconsciously think that this is how it should be performed here.

Behind the monitor, director Gu Changwei, who saw this scene, first frowned, then relaxed, then frowned again, but finally relaxed again.

The first time I frowned, it was because Jiang Xiao didn't act according to the script.

The second loosening represents his recognition of the changes.

The third time he frowned, it was no longer directed at Jiang Xiao, but at Feng Li. The other party didn't seem to have strong adaptability. At that moment, there was obviously a trace of panic.

As for the final relaxation, Gu Changwei thought that after all, it was the latter's first time filming, and not everyone can look like a changed Jiang Xiao, so he shouldn't be too harsh.

In short, when the first scene was filmed here, it was basically over, and he simply shouted to stop: "Stop, everyone, come over and take a look at the playback, there are some issues that need to be corrected..."

…………

Time passed, and the week passed quickly in the monotonous shooting.

It was indeed very monotonous, because for a whole week, Jiang Xiao and other actors were all in the same place, the same square table in the room where the candy was distributed in the first scene, and they filmed seven or eight scenes in succession.

For example, eating as a family, eating as a family, or eating as a family is all a matter of eating.

Of course, eating can only be regarded as the background, and it is more about the interaction between the characters.

Then there are so many eating scenes, mainly because the order of filming is based on scenes, which directly runs through various time periods of the entire movie, rather than filming in the order of story development.

This is naturally done to save shooting time. Otherwise, going here today, there tomorrow, and here the day after tomorrow, not only wastes time, but also increases costs.

Having said that, these days, Jiang Xiao has also completely integrated into that atmosphere during the entire filming process, and also took the opportunity to start to fine-tune his more than ten years of acting experience and skills in his memory.

In the past, I was extreme and seemed to have gone astray. Now that I have changed my mentality, I have found that many things have become natural, and it has the effect of enlightenment.

Therefore, Jiang Xiao quite enjoyed this very subtle experience.

Apart from these, just today, his wife came. Of course, this refers to the scene in the play, not that he really has a wife.
Chapter completed!
