After finishing the photography, the members quickly left the studio. There were many fans gathered outside the door, and they all rushed over at once. The assistants around them kept them away until they got into the car safely.
"I'm so tired!" Sheldon leaned his head against the car window, "I have to go record the OST later, and I feel like my body is drained. Lucas, you are also recording a show today, right?"
Lucas nodded, "But I'm a mentor, and I actually move my mouth the most, so it's much easier than the contestants."
After hearing this, Sheldon started wailing again.
"Carter, you should go back and get some sleep later." Owen looked at Murphy who was in a daze, "I feel like you are in a trance."
"I heard that Director Chen is very perverted. If the actors don't perform well, they will be scolded to death. He keeps shouting "cut" and doesn't care about your schedule at all. You have to perform until he is satisfied." Sheldon poked Murphy's cheek and comforted him, "It doesn't matter if you can't go. Anyway, for idol artists like us, it is basically suicide if we really join his team."
Lucas said, "Come to think of it, Chen Anping also won an award for his last film."
"Well, he is a director who has won many awards in recent years. By the way, the movie that Hayes won the award for was also directed by him. He played a psychopath, hahaha."
"Very impressive, isn't he? Wasn't he only 21 at the time?"
"Anyway, these days, it's easiest to win an award if you become a pervert, schizophrenic, or demented."
Everyone was discussing enthusiastically, but Murphy seemed to be touched by something. He took out his mobile phone and started searching for the film that Hayes won the award for.
"child".
This film, like "Nan Ke", is a Sino-foreign joint venture. The protagonist is a Chinese-American child who grew up at the bottom of the American society. His father died of a drug overdose and his mother was also a drug addict. He suffered various bullying at school and became a cruel serial killer when he grew up.
The script touches on many sensitive topics, including racial discrimination, drugs, school bullying and illegal immigration, and caused considerable controversy when it was released.
The other members did not return to the dormitory due to their work. However, Carter, who usually has the busiest schedule, made a date because of this unresolved film. Murphy took out Hayes's movie and watched it during his break.
Ava couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Xu, don't you want to catch up on some sleep during this precious rest time?"
Murphy put down the biscuit in his hand and said, "Ava, when you say this, it makes me feel like an old father."
Ava No more sound.
Murphy felt a little excited that the script he had only written a few words about had finally become a real movie, but he was most curious about Hayes's performance in the movie.
The tone of the entire film is very gloomy realism, which almost completely realizes Murphy's idea when he conceived it, which is surprising.
The movie uses a flashback technique, with the protagonist being interrogated by the police as a prisoner. Hayes is the first protagonist of the entire movie and the only Asian actor. In order to match the character's image, he is so thin that he is almost unrecognizable. Sitting in the chair and being interrogated, he seems to be just a shell, and his empty eyes are like black holes that can never be filled.
The entire movie keeps jumping between interrogation and memories, and the interrogation lines serve as a connection between scenes. At the beginning, Murphy could still watch the movie while eating biscuits, but after watching almost half of it, he couldn't eat a single bite.
It's not that there are any bloody scenes. In fact, the movie itself is very realistic. But because it is too realistic, it is almost like a documentary. Especially the scenes of Chris being bullied in school from elementary school to high school, all of which are presented in the form of malicious recordings by the perpetrators. Violence, verbal attacks, stripping, food poured on the body... The scenes are so real and terrifying that it makes people's spines cold.
It was really hard for him to imagine how Hayes finished this play.
At the end of the film, a smile slowly appeared on the face of middle-aged Chris, who was pushed step by step by the prison guards into the depths of the prison. The picture was gradually overlapped with the child carrying a worn-out schoolbag and walking into the campus using montage techniques. The two smiling faces were reflected together, which was depressing and terrifying.
This smile alone was enough for Hayes to win the award.
The words I had used to describe Hayes's acting skills seemed extremely shallow when facing this person's real performance. He had almost no lines in the whole play except for the interrogation part, but his genuine pleasure when killing, the fear on his face when being bullied, and the self-loathing when being stepped on and scolded by his classmates were fully displayed.
At the age of 21, it is clear that he is a talented actor.
After watching the movie, Murphy felt the impact brought by film art and was overwhelmed for a while.
It must be great to act with such a person. To be honest, he just wanted to complete the task at first, and wanted to get this cooperation opportunity with his own ability and get close to Hayes. But now, he really wants to work with him to create a soulful work.
Thinking of this, Murphy opened Weibo and unexpectedly found the two words [Nan Ke] appeared on the hot search. He clicked on it and saw that the previous marketing bloggers had posted a new Weibo, but this time Caleb's name was clearly mentioned, and it was accompanied by pictures of the two actors Hayes and Caleb, as well as the filing of the movie.
The content is still the same, but this wave of hype seems much more confident than in the morning.
Murphy opened the comments.
[You are the clearest]: Take my Cheng Cheng away, waiting for the official announcement~
[Onlooker Zhang Dachui]: Regardless of whether it is true or not, these two have no CP feeling at all. BTW, I have always admired Hayes's vision in choosing scripts.
[Enthusiastic citizen Auntie Chen]: I am not a fan of either. I want to say that although Caleb looks a bit boyish, is he really suitable for art films with such a festive look? (I don’t mean to diss his appearance, he looks very cute)
[Cheng Cheng is the most obedient person in the world]: Please don’t flirt with your fans TAT
[Did Hayes marry me today?]: How dare someone say that he is flirting with fans? He is obviously self-promoting...
[My Dear Cheng Cheng]: Those who fire themselves should be hammered. Whoever fires himself is Sima!
...
Ah, that's a bit scary.
This is just Caleb. If it were really Carter, who has top traffic, Murphy couldn’t imagine what the fight would be like between the fans of both sides.
Young actors like Hayes, who have a smooth career and good reputation, don’t have many fans who fight with each other, but because of their status, they hate fans who pay for their idols. The fans of traffic stars are different from any other type. The greater the traffic, the more disputes, the higher the fans’ experience value, and the stronger their fighting power. Fans like Carter grew up in the hail of bullets.
Sometimes I feel sorry for these girls. If they were the ones being hurt, they might not fight back or resist, but as long as it’s for the person they love, they will become strong and persistent.
The phone suddenly rang, and Murphy was so scared that he almost threw it away.
"Hello?"
"Carter? Why do you sound so weak? Are you sleeping in the dormitory?" It was Grace on the other end of the phone.
Murphy hummed, and Grace's tone was filled with undisguised excitement.
"Don't sleep anymore, get up!"
"I have good news for you. Caleb was rejected by Director Chen and other investors!"
It was clearly being hyped on Weibo just now, how come it fell through so quickly?
Just as Murphy was thinking about it, his cell phone rang. He took it and saw that it was a notification of a new WeChat friend.
