Chapter 253 Hammer and Chisel
If these modifications are performed well, even if the character has no connotation or even contradictions, it is enough to bring fear to the audience. For a murderer, in the words of Zheng Xiuheng, the audience only needs to feel fear and depression, and you can play with other ironies at will.
The makeup artist worked hard to put makeup on Zheng Xiuheng, and it took nearly two and a half hours to make Zheng Xiuheng's skin look dry and her pores no longer look monochrome and clean, but slightly covered with other colors.
In this way, Zheng Xiuheng's age and image have gone up, and because of his appearance, he looks very much like a teacher. Of course, if he takes off this old-fashioned shirt, he would look even more like one.
“Dinner is here!”
It was almost six o'clock, time for dinner, and everything that needed to be prepared had been completed. We would just wait until after dinner when it got dark to start shooting.
Zheng Xiuheng held a dinner plate and sat next to Zheng Dabin. Zheng Dabin, with a coat on his shoulders, also held the dinner plate and ate the food carefully. When he felt Zheng Xiuheng sitting on the sofa next to him, his body suddenly trembled and his expression instinctively became fearful.
"The shooting will start soon. You should know that I am not a joking person. If you don't do what I ask and can't give me a reason, the chisel may not pierce your head, but I can't say about your face. I will use all my strength then!" Zheng Xiuheng didn't look as quiet as usual at the moment. Instead, because of his attire, he sounded like a gentleman when he said this.
Zheng Da Bin's body was shaking constantly, and the food in the plate was jumping up and down. This feeling of fear was no joke.
Zheng Da Bin was wearing silver silk pajamas and slippers. Her pair of white or pale calves did give her a somewhat morbid beauty with this outfit. Her frightened look did arouse other people's concern.
Actually, Zheng Xiuheng didn't do anything to her. He didn't even say harsh words to her except what happened just now. But Zheng Xiuheng would always squeeze out some time to go to Zheng Duobin's downstairs and let her sit in front of the computer to find all kinds of bloody pictures of corpses , such as various car accidents and so on.
In addition, Zhang Ziyan was asked to watch a horror movie with her every day. The purpose was to trigger Zheng Dabin's fear, to make her afraid, to make her afraid of death, and other things.
Although it is not known whether it has any effect now, Jang Ja-yeon found Jung Soo-heng in tears a few days ago and begged him not to let her accompany sister Jung Da-bin to watch horror movies anymore, as she was really going crazy.
Well, Zheng Xiuheng was too weak to complain, but it seemed to be very effective now. However, Zheng Xiuheng did not notice that a hint of madness flashed in Zheng Dabin's eyes while he was trembling.
"In a moment, Zheng Dabin will roll over as I said, and Xiuheng will hit the floor with the chisel in her hand as she struggles. But I ask you again, are you sure there won't be any problems with your actions under the panoramic camera? This is no joke!"
In the spacious bathroom, Luo Hongzhen asked nervously. Although it was a test shot, it was indeed his first time. Zheng Xiuheng proposed to shoot a panoramic shot. The scene where the hammer hits the chisel to kill Zheng Dabin, there is no doubt that without cutting the screen or shooting in the middle, the impact will be much greater. But the danger is higher, but the panoramic shot means more perfection, and as a director, he naturally pursues perfection.
Because Zheng Xiuheng said he knew martial arts. He proved it last time. Just now, he used a hammer and a chisel to hit the watermelon fiercely. It looked like he was going to hit the center of the watermelon, but in the end, it magically fell on the floor next to the watermelon. Zheng Xiuheng's momentum and speed were too terrifying. Every time Luo Hongzhen thought the watermelon would explode, but every time the watermelon was not damaged at all. This was the reason why he agreed.
Zheng Xiuheng nodded and said, "Of course. Director Luo, please remember our agreement. This shoot is very important to me!"
Luo Hongzhen glanced at Zheng Dabin, who was lying on the ground with her hands and feet tied and fully made up, and nodded. Zheng Xiuheng couldn't always be "sneaky". He told Luo Hongzhen when they discussed the script last time that Zheng Dabin did have a mental illness, so this shoot was not just a test shoot. He would find a way to help her cure some of her illnesses. If she failed, of course she would not be able to play the leading role.
Luo Hongzhen had nothing to say about Zheng Xiuheng's sincerity and he also admired him. At first he thought that Zheng Dabin was made like this by Zheng Xiuheng, but later he found out that it was not the case.
"Okay, everyone, take your positions. Those who are not involved should wait outside. This place is too narrow to accommodate more than a few people!"
Luo Hongzhen began to clear the scene, and people like the makeup artist left, leaving only the director, three photographers, and the lighting and sound engineers.
At Luo Hongzhen's suggestion, Zheng Xiuheng also took off his clothes, leaving only a pair of white boxer briefs. This was Zheng Xiuheng's biggest "sacrifice" in the TV series, but it was just like going swimming, so Zheng Xiuheng didn't care.
However, after Zheng Xiuheng took off her clothes, her perfect and crazy body lines shocked the men around her. Like the photographer, he looked at his bulging belly and instantly felt the malice from the world.
Luo Hongzhen knew about this before and didn't say anything. He just had the lines slightly weakened in the makeup room. But it still looks very sharp. However, Luo Hongzhen doesn't mind Zheng Xiuheng having such a figure.
Because in the story, the protagonist always beats Ji Yingmin violently. In their research, they also made subtle changes, such as showing a weird or satisfied smile after being beaten, which makes people feel weird and contradictory. This can also make people think about why Zheng Xiuheng ran away with his body and why he was ravaged by an uncle?
As for the reason... of course there is no reason. In Luo Hongzhen's words, if you have to give a reason, the reason is that it unscrupulously arouses the audience's curiosity and then lets them think about it. In fact, there is no answer.
Anyway, Luo Hongzhen now knows that there are many bugs in the script, so he doesn't care about it. After all, if we talk about fundamental performance, these bugs become necessary elements, so he is very open-minded about the two sides of things.
But fortunately, the makeup artist and costume designer from outside were not allowed in, otherwise they would have to be called now.
"Go ahead when you're ready!"
"All departments in place, "The Chaser" Episode 7 Mirror Bathroom Murder Scene 1!"
“Bang!”
"Action!"
As the script supervisor clapped the board, Luo Hongzhen also called for the start of filming. Everyone else quickly huddled in the corner. At this time, the camera was already running. The person who appeared on the monitor in front of Luo Hongzhen was Zheng Xiuheng holding a hammer and a chisel. There was also Zheng Dabin, who was lying on the ground with his hands and feet tied behind his back and his mouth tied with a cloth strip.
Because of the discussion with Zheng Xiuheng, the two did not start with a dialogue, but went straight into recording the dangerous chisel murder scene.
At this moment, Zheng Xiuheng looked at the bound Zheng Dabin and was amazed at the strange beauty she created in this state. However, the next moment, Zheng Xiuheng directly immersed himself in the filming. Zheng Xiuheng, who was concentrating his attention, was not joking.
The tall Zheng Xiuheng squatted down expressionlessly, but his eyes looked unexpectedly enthusiastic and happy, which formed a sharp contrast with his expression. Luo Hongzhen noticed this and cheered in his heart, and hurriedly asked the photographer on the left to capture his facial expression.
"Um!"
Zheng Xiuheng put the hammer and chisel against Zheng Duobin's head, and at this time Zheng Duobin seemed to be immersed in the role. He let out a miserable cry, his body twisted wildly, and his face was full of fear. In just this moment, Zheng Duobin had already been immersed in the role.
Luo Hongzhen was surprised by the state of the two, but then he was happy because Zheng Xiuheng had a special reason, so Luo Hongzhen did not call Cut. Although others were surprised why they had to shoot this in the first scene, and they had to use a long lens to shoot the whole scene, they were still working hard at the moment, after all, the two actors were in really good condition.
"West!"
As if he was impatient with Zheng Dabin's twisting, Zheng Xiuheng straightened up a little, picked up the chisel and hammer a little, and then smashed them down with an unstoppable and crazy momentum, as powerful as Thor. At this moment, his facial expression suddenly showed a strange smile, as if he was having an orgasm, or happy. But it was a fake smile, because of Zheng Xiuheng's movements and behavior, this expression looked extremely weird at the moment.
However, the cameraman and others almost cried out, because Zheng Xiuheng's behavior seemed to them like he was going to kill someone...
"Bang!"
The hammer in his right hand hit the top of the chisel, and the rusty chisel passed violently in front of Zheng Duobin and hit the tiles on the ground heavily, creating countless pieces of gravel that flew to the side. The force was so great that the tiles broke, but surprisingly, Zheng Duobin's face did not suffer any damage, only a slight splashing feeling like dust.
Zheng Duobin was twisting her body, feeling excited and flustered at the moment, but she soon calmed down. She looked into Zheng Xiuheng's eyes and saw that he had become indifferent again, as if she felt that Zheng Xiuheng was not joking with her during this period.
The next moment, Zheng Dabin seemed to be stimulated by death and twisted his body wildly, and Zheng Xiuheng cooperated even more. The hammer and chisel fell more and more crazily. The surrounding floor tiles seemed to crack due to an earthquake. At this moment, the two of them really looked like the murderer and the masseuse in the story. It seemed that Zheng Xiuheng really wanted to kill someone.
In fact, if Luo Hongzhen hadn't said before the filming started that no matter what happened, the filming must not be stopped unless I shouted "Cut", these staff members would have gone up to pull people away long ago.
But after eight consecutive strikes, he didn't hit Zheng Dabin at all. He was so violent that Luo Hongzhen couldn't help but close his eyes every time, but he didn't hit him once. This seemed to be another thing that made people complain. Just when Luo Hongzhen was considering whether to edit some parts, Zheng Xiuheng smiled again and said, "The game is over. There will be no pain next time!"
This was a line that was not in the script. Luo Hongzhen did not call for a stop. Instead, he looked at the monitor nervously and swallowed unconsciously, because Zheng Xiuheng's movements were really too fast this time. The sharp chisel seemed to be about to pierce Zheng Dabin's head in a second. Even though he believed that Zheng Xiuheng knew martial arts, he was still afraid that he would make a mistake.
In fact, Luo Hongzhen was also taking a gamble for his first play.
