After Ling Feng’s death, Ling Tao was greatly stimulated. Without much effort, he started to destroy Ling’s Group and even the whole of Southeast Asia and European drug trafficking ring. While pretending to cooperate with drug dealers, he used his hand to sink the ship. It was arguably this scene was the beginning of Ling Tao’s transformation and also the most important aspect of the film.
Prior to this, Luo Zhang Wei was not optimistic about Xiao Jia Shu. Could such a noble child, who doesn’t know the hardships of the world, deduce Ling Feng’s ups and downs in his short life? Ling Feng’s early stage was innocence and simplicity, the middle stage was full of pain and struggles and the later stage was sad and despair. Each stage of the mental journey was complex and progressive, which required extremely sophisticated acting skills and rich life experience to control.
Luo Zhang Wei thought that Xiao Jia Shu performed Ling Feng well in the early stage, and there would definitely be many problems in the middle and late stage. He was ready to fight with Xiao Jia Shu, or even change people if necessary, but Xiao Jia Shu unexpectedly behaved like this…. No, I have to watch this video again! Thinking of this, Luo Zhang Wei went back to check the video for the third time.
Looking at the unusually silent crowd, Huang Zi Jin looked at Xiao Jia Shu, who was still held by Ji Mian and crying. He felt relief in his heart and finally said, “I told you that Xiao Shu is very talented.”
Shi ting Heng’s cigarette in his mouth had already fallen to the ground. After a long time, he said, “I didn’t expect to see it. Are you sure he’s never learned acting before? “
Huang Zijin glanced at him with a smile, and then went back to boil water for later when Xiao Shu had to wash his face once he comes back.
“The young people are terrible now. I feel like I’m going to die on the beach before I’m old,” Shi Ting Heng said.
Fang Kun nodded as he had the same feeling, while Lin Le Yang stared at the two people in an embrace, his eyes were inexplicably complicated. He was in a state of panic.
Xiao Jia Shu had not come out of the fear yet. In fact, what he suffered from was not claustrophobia, but pure fear of the dark and small spaces, but in order not to let his parents worry, he kept it secret. If it wasn’t for the play, he would never dig out the deepest memory buried in his heart, which was no different from digging his heart. He couldn’t stop twitching and weeping.
Ji Mian held him in his arms, slowly and gently caressed his scalp with his fingers, and constantly comforted him, “Shh, don’t be afraid, open your eyes, you are just shooting, no one can hurt you.” The other hand went around to wipe away the tears, snot and fake blood on Xiao Jia Shu’s face.
Xiao Jia Shu, whose eyes were covered with tears, finally had a clear vision. He found that there were several spotlights around, and everything was bright, which stopped the convulsions.
“Is it better?” Feeling the body in his arms calming down, Ji Mian pushed the people away and asked softly.
At first sight, Xiao Jia Shu saw a pool of suspicious liquid on Ji Mian suit jacket, at second glance, he saw a group of people with bright eyes, and his cheeks suddenly reddened. Fuck, what was I doing? How could I cry in public with Ji Mian in my arms?
He immediately withdrew from Ji Mian’s arms and ran away. As soon as he washed his face, he heard Luo Zhang Wei shouting with the speaker, “Where’s Xiao Jia Shu? Come and see how you performed! “
“Here I come!” Xiao Jia Shu rushed back at once and didn’t find that the way people looked at him had changed. On the screen, it was playing the scene that was just shot. The wounded young man was on his knees and looked frightened, his body numbed as if it were wrapped in a layer of ice. He wasn’t able to move. When he saw the man sitting at the table, his mouth was slightly open, but he could not shout. His knees moved forward half an inch and froze, then he fell into a state of confusion.
This performance was exactly what Luo Zhang Wei wanted, but what was more wonderful was still to come. The young man’s physiological reaction after being controlled by drug addiction and his last gleaming eyes could be regarded as a classic, which vividly portrayed the feeling of darkness, depression, pain, despair, and eventually demise that the whole movie was about.
Stanislavsky once said: If you don’t use psychology, even if you rely on inspiration to get instant acting, the rest of the time will make the performance lifeless. Luo Zhang Wei doesn’t know where Xiao Jia Shu got his inspiration, but the confusion and fear he showed after entering the office were real, wonderful and natural. But if it’s just like this and he couldn’t perform well in the following scenes because this fear should belong to Ling Feng, not Xiao Jia Shu. But only for a moment, he understood the psychology of the performance and led himself from the unconscious state to the conscious state. This change happened very quickly and smoothly, so he was able to achieve the sought performance.
Luo Zhang Wei has made a lot of films and seen many actors, but this level of drug addiction and restrained acting was enough to rank in the top three, and his lines were impeccable.
He silently rewound the video, trying to find out what he wasn’t satisfied with, but no, everything was perfect.
When Luo Zhang Wei was ready to scrutinize it again, Xiao Jia Shu was also watching the performance of Ji Mian. He was brought into the scene by Ji Mian’s eyes, but then he knocked his jaw on the other’s shoulder, only to see a back, which was equivalent to shooting a solo show. What exactly was Ji Mian’s acting was not yet clear to him.
