The Director's Road of Airflow

Getting into a role requires a process. Lu Ming joined the crew a week before the official shooting and began to read the script.

This movie revolves around Xia Xinyu's self-help travel experience after the college entrance examination, interspersed with some small stories during the journey. It can be said to be a road movie, but it is not exact, and it is different from ordinary road movies that focus on the emotional entanglements of middle-aged people. Similarly, "Crossing the South of the Yangtze River" presents the inner struggle of a young man who has just grown up.

The last scene filmed in Beijing was a scene of arguing with my parents and breaking up on bad terms.

Logically speaking, this should be an easy scene for Lu Ming to get into. Obviously, there are many conflicts in the process of getting along with his parents, especially with his father. He should be able to understand the role of Xia Xinyu very well. psychology.

But in order to perform this scene well, Lu Ming found a place where no one was there the day before, and found his emotions by himself.

Because Lu Ming has always been a person who keeps his emotions in check, even when his father rashly took him to meet his younger brother whom he didn't know existed before, he just left angrily and silently.

On the issue of resisting patriarchy, Lu Ming has always adopted a quiet and powerful avoidance strategy. He avoids the road paved for him by his father, refuses to communicate, refuses to communicate, and protests with silence, nothing else.

Lu Ming hadn't had a direct conflict with his parents yet, and his emotions had never been fully released, but kept in his heart, which to some extent also led to his depression in the past two years.

He inhaled hard, panted, and kicked away the stones at his feet. This is a remote suburb of Beijing. No one was staring at him, and no one was moving around. He was the only living person in Lu Ming's field of vision.

In this case, he should be able to express his anger wantonly. If he can't even do it when he is alone, how will he shoot tomorrow's scene?

The weather in Beijing is getting hotter and hotter, and summer is not far away. If you can't pass several shots in a row, the whole crew will be dragged down.

After trying to yell at a dust-stained wall more than a dozen times, Lu Ming found the feeling that he could slam the door and leave in front of his father, and roared, "What are you? What am I?" something?" feeling.

During the official shooting the next day, the two passed. The middle-aged actor Xu Guang, who was filming opposite Lu Ming, patted Lu Ming on the back and praised with appreciation: "Young people's performance is very tense, you are You're from grade 18, right? I was in the same class as your homeroom teacher Wang Qiufeng at the time, and I'm in the same class. When I meet her next time, I'll have to give you a good compliment."

Everything seems to be getting better, Lu Ming's acting skills have been praised by the director and other actors, and the accusation of facial paralysis AI seems to be far away from him.

But Lu Ming knew in his heart that this was far from the case, and it was far from enough.Acting must be a combination of experience substitution and acting methods. It is impossible to rely entirely on self-substitution, nor can it completely rely on so-called skills.

Now, Lu Ming is more focused on experience. He can grasp the role of Xia Xinyu in the first half of the scene better because the character of Xia Xinyu is relatively close to his own psychological distance. He can fully understand the logic of this character's behavior. Mental transitions between actions and actions plus your own footnotes.

A mature actor can't just play a role similar to himself. Lu Ming feels that he is still a long way from being a real actor. He self-examines his filming process. In shaping the role of Xia Xinyu, he uses more The most important thing is to substitute the role and mobilize his own emotions, which is also a kind of loss of his personal emotions. If things go on like this, acting will be very tiring, and it will even disrupt his normal life rhythm.This kind of self-consumption acting method is unsustainable.

During the filming of "Crossing the South of the Yangtze River", the first real challenge came when the crew was filming in Xinjiang. There was a scene where Lu Ming rolled down a desert slope. This scene was for a subsequent emotional climax The foreshadowing should not be too excessive or too flat.

The shooting process was very long, because the director Zhang Duo was constantly changing his thoughts and adjusting the lens and shooting angle during the shooting process.

One morning, Lu Ming rolled down the same sandy slope [-] times, each time he rushed down without hesitation, the pain was not very painful, after all, there were props as a buffer underneath, but there were inevitably sand grains when rolling It got into the eyes, it was very uncomfortable, and I ate a lot of sand in the mouth.

After returning to the hotel, Lu Ming quickly brushed his teeth three times, and the strange feeling in his mouth barely eased.

He hardly drank any water in the morning, which made Lu Ming feel his throat was about to smoke in the hot land of Xinjiang in May. When he carefully swallowed the first sip of pure water, he even felt a burning sensation in his esophagus.

Stimulation, numbness, pain, and sadness are intertwined. Playing a role gave Lu Ming a chance to experience another life. During the six-month filming, there were a few short moments when Lu Ming forgot about the camera and himself. He even forgot the sun above his head, and really felt that he was Xia Xinyu.

The filming process was too long, and the director briefly gave Lu Ming a few vacations, and Lu Ming still had to return to Beijing to participate in the event.

Once participating in a live broadcast event, the reporter who interviewed on the spot asked Lu Ming a question: "You have always said that summer is your favorite season, so can you tell me what the wormwood people like about summer? This is a person whose ID is The user of Kitten Yoyo is asking questions on the barrage."

Lu Ming lowered his head and was silent for nearly half a minute before replying: "I used to like the summer sun the most, it's very bright and warm, it seems that no matter what it is, after basking in the sun, I have the courage to be happy But it’s not the same now... Now, I might like early autumn a little more, the leaves are half-yellow but not yellow, and the joy and anticipation of farmers eager for a bumper harvest are really contagious and will make you feel hope and Vitality, as if those good things are real, and they will definitely come, just like the trade winds, they will not be late."

Sometimes fans are the group of people who are most aware of the changes in the status of idols.

——I feel that Zai Zai is a bit different recently, is it influenced by the role?

——Yes, I feel that he is more silent than usual, and looking at the picture of the airport, his expression is a bit sad.I hope he can adjust his emotions well, don't let work affect his life, health and happiness come first, Ming Zai.

——I think some people should not worry too much. It is still necessary to enter the role. If you can really enter the role and perform "Crossing the South of the Yangtze River" well, it will not be too late to adjust your emotions after the filming is finished.This opportunity is really too important.

Black fans are not willing to be lonely. On the Internet, if anyone can run faster than wormwood and care more about Lu Ming than wormwood, it is the members of the Douban Wuxin mage group - the little mages.

In a sense, they are like Medea who was betrayed by Jason in Euripides's writings. How irrational love once burned in their hearts, and how irrational hatred spread in their hearts.

——Did Lu Ming start abusing fans again?He did it on purpose, knowing that the fans would think about it, and said something vague on purpose.

——I think he has put all his thoughts on the way of abusing fans and solid fans, and he won't have much success. Sister Ai Cao, don't dance, "Crossing the South of the Yangtze River" is "Space Walking" 2.0, which is as good as it is. It's really the same, and it will be slapped when it is officially released.

——I really didn't want to see these two words on the Internet again, and I didn't want to give him another look, but his marketing is really overwhelming. Today Weibo sent me three more messages about him, qswlqswl.

2022年12月1日，《过江南》正式定档，跨年档，12月31日22:00正式上映。

Screenings began on December 12, and Lu Ming also participated in two screenings.

At the end of the first screening, there was spontaneous applause in the theater. Lu Ming didn't go to the front of the stage, he just left quietly through the side door by himself.

Walking out of the shopping mall, the icy cold wind greeted his face abruptly. It was another winter, Lu Ming thought.

For a work that is truly performed with heart, it is difficult for actors not to care about audience feedback and market evaluation.

Lu Ming not only played the role of "Xia Xinyu" in the crew of "Crossing the South of the Yangtze River", but also made many real actor friends, the kind who were still laughing and cursing one second, and walked to his position in the next second, and could immediately enter Professional actors in character status.

He also saw a bigger world and a living state that was very different from the big city life he was familiar with before when the crew traveled to many places, and he saw sea buckthorn growing wildly in a desolate area.

In the infinitely vast world, there is infinite vitality and vitality. It seems that Lu Ming has also begun to find a career to truly place himself.

In the conversation with director Zhang Duo, Lu Ming could feel his pure love for the film industry.

Every director has different reasons for choosing to make movies. Zhang Duo has loved Peking Opera, Yue Opera, TV, and movies since he was a child. He appreciates all performing arts and has a strong desire to participate in production. , after getting a master's degree, becoming a real director seems to be a very logical thing.

During the filming process, Lu Ming also learned some basic knowledge of directors and met several assistant directors.Ah Kuan chose to be a director because he likes the language of the camera and the beauty of the screen.

One night after Lu Ming finished filming the night scene, he was lying on the bed in the hotel, facing the ceiling, meditating quietly, and the thought "I might be a director" just broke into his mind.

Once it appeared, it took root deeply in his heart. It seemed that a flame was ignited in his heart, and the burning became more and more intense. He couldn't sleep because of the burning. I started to think about what other stories I could tell.

Lu Ming felt that he had a lot to say and a lot of stories to tell. He was a person who was not used to expressing emotions in a straightforward manner. He needed a mirror, a dream, and a little distance to spread out his thoughts.

The movie is this mirror, this dream.

He might be able to be a director, he should be a director, half a year after graduating from Nortel acting undergraduate, in the winter of 2022, Lu Ming began to have such an idea.
