Chapter 289 The highlight
Chapter 289 The highlight
Ran Feng obediently used his lunch break to chat with the director. The afternoon was still the highlight for Lu Shisuo and Yu Jiang.
Continuing from the previous scene, Ma Xu and Xin Ruifeng's original task was to find the wounded first, provide emergency treatment, and wait for reinforcements.
However, the plan was disrupted by the occasional encounter with a small group of enemies, and a firefight had already taken place in the battle zone. If we did not move quickly, we would definitely be discovered by the enemy.
Both wounded have lost their ability to move. One of them had his leg injured by the explosion and has received emergency treatment. He is not in danger of death for the time being.
The other one had already lost consciousness when he arrived. After Xin Ruifeng treated him while Ma Xu was killing the enemy, he regained consciousness briefly and fainted again.
In order to ensure the safety of the wounded and himself, Ma Xu decided that two people would carry the wounded and move quickly, taking a detour through the war zone to meet up with reinforcements.
The shooting task this afternoon is this long scene, which is divided into three scenes in total.
Ma Xu and Xin Ruifeng transferred the wounded, and the unconscious wounded died. Xin Ruifeng broke down emotionally, and Ma Xu cheered up the wounded on his back.
The snow field that was previously forbidden to be stepped on will be used this time. No one has touched the snow field since the start of the filming. The snow is already very deep and it is above the knees when you step on it.
The first scene of transferring the wounded is the less important of the three scenes. The only difficulty is carrying the wounded.
The two injured soldiers were actors from the art troupe. Most of the roles they played were soldiers, so they looked well-proportioned, but in fact they had a lot of muscles.
Yu Jiang and Lu Shisuo have not stopped their weight training these days. When I first met these two actors, I also tried the weights, and they shouldn't be a problem.
The first scene was filmed smoothly, and the next emotional scene focused on Xin Ruifeng.
This plot is in the first half of the Peninsula Campaign. Xin Ruifeng had just experienced the cruelty of war, and her long-pent-up emotions erupted when the wounded might be sacrificed because of her.
The wounded was laid flat on the snow. Xin Ruifeng kept giving him first aid, but it was of no avail.
Ma Xu finally checked the condition of the injured and patted Xin Ruifeng on the shoulder, "Let's go."
Xin Ruifeng didn't give up and checked the pupils, pulse and breathing again, and was able to confirm that the wounded man had died.
She knew that what Ma Xu said was right and that they should continue to move immediately, but she was so deflated that she sat down on the snow and couldn't get up.
Before going to the battlefield, she was just a student who had not yet graduated from medical school.
At this moment, she sat there with a dull look in her eyes, constantly reviewing whether she had done something wrong that led to the death of the wounded.
Ma Xu knelt on the ground and hugged her. "Let's go. There is a wounded person here. We can't delay his treatment because of us."
It would have been fine if she wasn't comforted, but as soon as Ma Xu hugged her, Xin Ruifeng immediately burst into tears.
Ma Xu covered her mouth with his hand. "This is a war zone. You will attract the enemy. You are a soldier now. You must learn to control your emotions."
Xin Ruifeng looked at Ma Xu with tears in her eyes. There was pity and heartache in her eyes, but more of it was the determination of a soldier.
She nodded slightly, and Ma Xu put down his hand and helped her up. There was no time to mourn the sacrifice of their comrades. There was not much they could do, and they did not even have the extra strength to take their fallen comrades away.
"I never thought it would be like this before I came here. Every day my comrades die in front of me, and this time it was my fault. Maybe if I had used a different method to stop the bleeding, he wouldn't have died..."
Xin Ruifeng dragged the body of her comrade, sobbing and mumbling incessantly. She felt that she had to vent, otherwise she would go crazy.
"You've done a great job. There's nothing wrong with your treatment method. Every day, not only do some comrades die in front of you, but many more survive because of you..."
Ma Xu staggered as he carried the wounded man on his back, and he still had to comfort her. Xin Ruifeng's emotions gradually calmed down under her guidance.
This scene is the biggest emotional outburst point for Lu Shisuo in the whole play. She has been trying to figure out the emotions of this scene since before joining the group.
She has discussed this issue many times with both Liao Yongning and Yu Jiang, and the current approach is unanimously agreed to be the best, and the resulting effect has exceeded everyone's expectations.
The fact that Lu Shixiu was able to pull off a scene with such a huge outburst of emotions and emotional exhaustion in one take is enough to show her profound skills.
I cried for nearly an hour while reshooting other camera angles and close-ups of the first aid hands. Only after I calmed down did I start preparing for the next scene.
The scene shifted to the pine forest, where the actors playing the sacrificed wounded had a final shot, and then they had to wait for dark to shoot the last scene of the day.
When the set was being set up, everyone retreated into the tent, wrapped in military coats and drinking ginger soup. The following shots focused on Ma Xu and her wounded soldiers, and Yu Jiang was also rehearsing lines with the actors.
In the next scene, Yu Jiang had to carry the wounded man on her back throughout the entire scene. Ran Feng was standing behind her at this time, massaging and relaxing the muscles in her arms.
Lu Shixiu's assistant didn't look happy. She thought her boss should have the same treatment as other artists.
Just after taking a sip of ginger soup, the assistant suddenly pressed his arm, and Lu Shixiu spat out the ginger soup in his mouth due to the pain.
The assistant said guiltily: "Sis, everyone else has pressed it, so we have to press it too..."
Lu Shixiu lowered her voice helplessly and said, "Just try a few times, don't use so much strength."
Yu Jiang was concentrating on acting and didn't notice their little movements. Ran Feng was quite happy to have some fun.
Seeing Annoying Guy 2.0 trying to hold back his laughter, Lu Shixiu narrowed her eyes and for the first time seriously considered whether she should be a drama tyrant and suppress him when she had the chance to act opposite him.
Ran Feng doesn't have many scenes on the snowy mountains, and the important ones are just two.
One was to perform amputation surgery on Xin Ruifeng, and the other was to go through the tunnel with Ma Xu to the 597.9 high ground to treat the wounded and deliver medical supplies.
They only have one scene to act together, and it seems like they are not capable of dominating the show.
Lu Shiyue had never been a drama bully before, so she had no experience in this field. She could only secretly make up her mind to learn it well and wait until she met him next time.
After the set was completed, the actors went to the scene to rehearse, find camera positions, and wait for dark.
Except for carrying the actors on his back, all of Yu Jiang's movements and performances were in accordance with the standards for the official start of filming.
Liao Yongning adjusted the lens on the monitor and made suggestions for the performance. If Yu Jiang had different opinions, the two would debate for a few minutes.
Everything has been debugged almost, it will be dark soon, and we can start shooting after one last walkthrough.
As the sun set, the perceived temperature dropped a lot, the semi-overcast sky gradually darkened, and the actors began to get into the mood.
Facing the pine forest, Yu Jiang suddenly saw a little light deep in the forest, as if someone had built a fire there.
Yu Jiang pulled the photography teacher over and pointed over there, "Isn't there a fire over there?"
Pine forests are most susceptible to fire, so it’s right to be careful, but the photography teacher used the camera to confirm, “It’s not on fire, there are people watching nearby.”
