444: Chapter 444 Avici Hell

...

The second day of filming.

Lin Chuyan began entering a high-intensity filming state.

The first thing in the morning was makeup. However, for a modern drama, the styling and such were very simple; it was all done in half an hour.

The clothing had already been discussed with the director: a white shirt with a black suit jacket, with one or two buttons left slightly undone... You ask what the appeal is? Just look at the eyes of the other girls on set and you'll know.

Lin Chuyan was actually already used to it. To use Su Su's words from before, the girls who looked at him were basically divided into two camps. One camp didn't quite dare to look at him, only daring to sneak a few glances, while the other camp wished they could just swallow him whole.

Actually, the second male lead, Xue Ting, was also very handsome, but... it felt like his style was more attractive?

"Brother Chuyan, the director is calling."

"Oh, okay, coming."

Sue, who played his girlfriend in the play, felt like she was already in character; for the past two days, her eyes had been stuck on him and couldn't look away.

Today's scene was a major one right from the start.

In this scene, the villain received news in advance and set a trap in the factory, annihilating the entering police officers one by one, leaving only Chen Guorong behind to play with slowly.

Factory gunfights, two fight scenes, a Gun Assembly competition, kneeling and kowtowing, holding a fuse... and Director Mu Sheng's favorite, chain explosions.

Besides that, Big Brother's emotions in this scene were also very important—colleagues dying in front of him one after another; that sense of helplessness would cause him to break down.

In other words, the dramatic Acting was very important.

In Director Mu Sheng's words, this was one of the most important scenes in the film; it definitely couldn't be finished in one day, and it was estimated that they would be stuck here for the next few days.

Then let's do it.

But they had to make sufficient preparations first.

For instance, Lin Chuyan had a maneuver where he had to grab a rope from the second floor and slide down to the first-floor ground.

That definitely needed a rehearsal; otherwise, he wouldn't have the confidence to pass in one take.

The good news was that Ah Zu was wearing gloves, so it wouldn't hurt his hands.

The martial arts director was speaking to him: "Teacher Lin Chuyan, it's actually very simple. The key point is just one thing: keep your hands loose, don't grip too tightly, otherwise you won't be able to slide."

"Understood."

While he was practicing on this side, the other side was already filming.

The main perspective of the gunfight was on the police side, filming the helplessness and sense of crisis as they entered the factory and were ambushed. Lin Chuyan only needed to add a couple of gun-holding shots later.

When the next scene was about to start, the director was shouting loudly with a Laba.

"Tie their hands with ropes, hands behind their backs, then hoist them to the highest point."

"Make sure safety measures are in place, put the mats underneath properly for me."

"Everyone, work hard, Big Brother will be here soon."

Yes, all the police officers except Chen Guorong were hoisted above the factory by ropes.

Everyone went up in person; no one had any complaints.

At this point, filming had actually already started. From wide shots to close-ups, every angle was fully captured; after all, it wasn't easy to go up there once.

"Prepare to start, notify Big Brother to come up."

The director deliberately didn't let Big Brother see this scene, specifically to capture his real reaction.

The effect was indeed very good.

Chen Guorong was truly shocked by this scene.

Nearly ten dying police officers were hanging overhead just like that, blood still flowing down their faces, yet they remained quiet. This scene looked eerie no matter how you looked at it.

Confusion, disbelief, grief—Big Brother got into character immediately.

He adopted a sobbing tone.

"How could it be like this..."

"Who are you all?!"

"Come out! Why?!"

He bent down, seemingly unable to stand steadily.

This emotion was very on point, and the director was very satisfied—he knew very well that no matter how many times they filmed it later, it was highly unlikely to be as good as the first take.

However, this blow was not enough for Chen Guorong.

The reason Director Mu Sheng said this factory segment was one of the most important scenes in the film was because this part was simply too "intense."

The protagonists were beaten down to their lowest point, and the villains were at their most arrogant peak before swaggering away.

Afterwards, Chen Guorong became dispirited and started drinking heavily, while Ah Zu continued to commit crimes, Acting lawlessly.

...

Lin Chuyan was finally about to go on.

He was wearing a mask on his face.

His tone was cavalier, and he would use body language when speaking to help shape the character's eccentric personality.

He looked down from a high position, his voice coming from the second floor.

"Just because you aren't dead yet doesn't mean you have skill; it's just that we haven't played enough."

Chen Guorong pointed his gun at him: "Who are you people?"

However, in the eyes of everyone present, the person holding the gun was actually the weaker party.

"We are the people who hate you cops to the bone!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ah Zu grabbed the rope at hand and slid down while holding it.

Bang—

His feet landed on the tin floor, making a huge noise.

Very good, done in one go.

Ah Zu finally stood in front of Chen Guorong.

Chen Guorong gripped his pistol tightly: "Let them go!"

Ah Zu pointed his finger at him, his Lines carrying a sense of rhythm: "You first put the gun~ down~"

"Let them go!"

Ah Zu smiled and shook his head, raising his hand to make a gesture.

On the other side, a hanging police officer fell straight down from a high place—of course, he wouldn't hit the ground here; that was a job for post-production editing.

Chen Guorong picked up the police officer on the ground; the latter was clearly already breathless.

"You—"

Ah Zu interrupted directly: "I won't say the same thing to you twice!"

He tapped his finger twice.

Chen Guorong could only put down his gun: "What do you want?"

"I want to play with you~" There was an inexplicable madness in Ah Zu's voice; he seemed not to care about anything at all. "You seem to be the police force's shooting champion, right? You're best with firearms, so I'll compete with you in Gun Assembly!"

Chen Guorong could only follow along: "How do we play?"

The two of them had competed twice before, so they were familiar with the process now.

The only difference was that the gun-disassembly process was completed by Ah Zu alone.

Two hands, two guns, disassembling simultaneously.

While disassembling, he answered: "These two are your brothers' guns. We'll compete on Gun Assembly speed to see who is faster. I'll bet two with you."

Chen Guorong understood: if he won, two colleagues could land safely; if the opponent won, two would die.

"Okay!"

Chen Jiaju here had to show that he was distracted by the environment, so his Gun Assembly speed was even slower than Lin Chuyan's.

Bullets into the magazine! Install the magazine! Pull the slide to chamber a round!

Raise the gun!

"You lost!"

Ah Zu raised his hand, and two more police officers perished.

The staff watching from the sidelines, seeing this scene, finally understood a little why he was a professional at playing villains.

Damn it, Lin Chuyan acted it way too evilly.

How to describe it... it was that he acted out a feeling where you would hope you would never run into this kind of person in your entire life.

Crazy enough, arrogant enough, evil enough; he stood right in front of you, but you could never beat him.

Director Mu Sheng recalled his last collaboration with Lin Chuyan, which was filming a moment of romance. That kid acted out the stubbornness and dedication to love of Wah Dee so well... Looking at the Ah Zu in front of him again, tsk tsk, is this what a professional actor is?

And this professionalism of Lin Chuyan also completely stirred up Chen Jiaju's emotions—when a good actor meets a good actor, the energy that bursts out between them is enormous; it's one plus one greater than two.

Chen Guorong's emotions began to break down.

In the middle of this, he originally had another fight scene with another villain, but the director felt it would interrupt the emotions, so he postponed it.

Ah Zu was still continuing his Acting.

He was wearing a mask that covered half his face, but everyone could feel how rich his expressions were.

"Aren't you very capable? Saying something about catching us within three hours. You're far from your performance on TV, huh?"

Chen Guorong was already crying: "I beg you all to let them go."

Regarding this, Ah Zu only offered two words.

He tapped his finger again, as if talking about a mundane matter: "Kneel."

Chen Guorong could only obey and kneel.

Ah Zu couldn't help but laugh out loud, and while laughing, he instructed the other: "Kowtow."

Chen Guorong obeyed and kowtowed: "I beg you, let them go."

The huge factory was very quiet, with only Ah Zu's laughter echoing endlessly.

"Haha! Hahahaha! Hahaha!"

The wounded hanging in the air, the corpses laid out on the ground, the crying police officer breaking down, the villain laughing triumphantly...

This was Chen Guorong's Avici Hell, which eventually turned into his inner demon.
