An actor's drunken life and dreams
Behind the scenes
Zheng Renshuo has been with director Zhang Zuoji for six years, from the field work to the props to the production, and the filming post was rounded. Xiaoshuo became Ashuo, and Ashuo became a brother. Brother
originally recommended himself as an actor to Zhang Zuoji. In 2001, he and Chen Qiaoen collaborated on "Red Women's Flower", and just got better, his father had a brain stroke, he left his career and went home to fulfill his filial piety. After a few years, I made up my mind to return to acting again, and the world has changed. I found Zhang Zuoji, and Zhang said, OK, there are more rats in the company, so you can clean it up. Brother Shuo bought a sticky mouse board and a mousetrap, and every day he thinks about what meat to change to attract the remaining mice.
Next is to clean up the trash, nail the chairs, brush the floor, lay the tracks, set up a high platform, take sandbags, lift a big umbrella, and hand wooden boxes to the photographer-he called it "the basic skills of field affairs." He was also optimistic and comforted himself. This is all life experience, the self-training of actors. This practice lasts for two years.
is not without opportunities. In 2011, the filming of the film "10+10" at the opening of the Golden Horse Film Festival began. Zhang Zuoji found him, "The monitor is ready for you. Shave your head." Zheng Renshuo shaved his hair that afternoon and went to Zhang Zuoji with his bare head. However, he said, "It's easier for you to deal with things with others, so you should go to the production team", and I was disappointed. The most important thing that brother
has done in the crew is raising maggots. On weekdays, the rest of the crew was poured into a swill bucket. The director needed it for filming, so he could grab it. He was accustomed to writhing maggots in his hands, but couldn't stand the sound of maggots being crushed, crackling and exploding, but it pierced into the ears with a very quiet sound, and the juice splashed all over his legs and shoes.
raises maggots for the purpose of filming a scene where maggots are crawling on a corpse in "Drunk, Dreams and Death". Lu Xuefeng, who plays the mother, hesitated and asked Zhang Zuoji, "Even if you are poor, should you still be able to hire a substitute?" Zhang Zuoji asked her to go to the battle. Lu Xuefeng’s understanding is, “Zhang Zuoji is a weird director. He is not unable to hire a stand-in. He is eager for me to perform the scene, so he didn’t tell me.” Before
turned on, Lu Xuefeng was afraid to shoot, and Brother Shuo encouraged him. She poured three cups of 70-degree spirits and finally felt. In the two trial shows and one official shooting, the brother poured a bucket of maggots on Lu Xuefeng. Every time the filming was over, Lu Xuefeng chased after her brother and cursed, crying and crying that she would kill him. Brother Shuo doesn't make trouble either-calming actors is part of his job.
was already a member of the production team at that time. He found all the scenes, sponsors, and half of the staff. The price was negotiated, the scenes were borrowed, and after everything was in place, the director said, "Almost. Okay, you quit and become an actor." After
did a round of scenes, the master knew that the director was training him. "You don't know what the people behind are doing. What qualifications do you have to stand in front of the camera and let someone take you?" In order to play "Drunk, Dream and Death", Brother Shuo started to prepare for the role six months in advance, and he was with him three months before the filming started. The other two protagonists live together. The name of the character is "Ren Shuo" with the same pronunciation as the real name. Before the filming of each scene, he was a staff member of the production team, and others called him, "Brother Brother, go to calm the actor's emotions." After comforting the filming, the actor said dialogue to him, "Brother Brother, long time no see." The big brother coincides with the big brother in the play. After the filming of
, he said, "Where am I playing Master, I am living." Before the stage,
became a habit of acting behind the scenes, and Master gradually stopped thinking about actors. One day, Zhang Zuoji suddenly said to him, "Is there a way for you to play a role?" Brother Shuo was so happy to fly to the sky. The film is "Summer Vacation Homework" and the character is a chef in a seafood shop. If you want to be fat, you must be an aboriginal in the mountains; if you want to get a tan, you have to shave your hair. Zheng Renshuo followed suit one by one, gaining more than 30 catties of fat.

"Summer Homework" is over, Zhang Zuoji mentioned the new film "Drunk, Dreams and Death" and asked him to act in public relations. He began to think of ways to lose weight. When doing sports, the director told him to stop. Only then did he know that he was acting as a top-brand public relations player, instead of relying on face and figure to eat, but relying on wrists, heads, and various methods to please guests. The three meals are abnormal in PR, and I drink every day. How can I have a strong body? In the
play, Brother Shuo is taken up by Nobita, the cousin of a pair of brothers. He often participates in gay gatherings and has a relationship with the brother of the brothers. He was married, had a daughter, and was circumcisedA kidney gave her ex-girlfriend and kept sending her money, and abandoned a woman who supported her. Brother's purpose is clear: to survive at all costs. You can undress, be beaten, go-go dancing, be kept, and you can survive.
This feeling is too familiar. Zheng Renshuo took care of his family for seven or eight years. He was a roadside stall and an industry that was chased by the police. These were cruel to a vigorous young man, but he would have no food if he didn't do it, and he couldn't pay the rent and his father's medical expenses. Also lost. To endure the pain, it becomes the nourishment of the character. Brother
really worked as a PR for almost two months. At first, other colleagues isolated him and prevented him from contacting guests. When you meet a large-scale guest, let him hug, let him kiss after hug, and then tip privately after kiss. He understands that it turns out that male public relations make money like this. Brother
is not the only one doing this. Li Hongqi, who plays the role of his younger brother Mouse, represents the "death" of "Drunken Life and Dream of Death". After his mother's death, his temperament changed drastically and he wandered in the vegetable market all day long. Li Hongqi lurked in the vegetable market for two months, dealing with vegetable vendors and experiencing life. The director held the camera and shot at him continuously, some of which were still used in the film. When
started filming, Daxiong, the girlfriend in the movie, was also his girlfriend in real life. After the filming, they broke up in reality one step ahead of the scene. In the first half, the affection between the two men's eyebrows is real and moving, and in the last scene, Nobita, who knows the truth, pokes his brother with a corkscrew, crying heartbreakingly, and it is also real. Brother Shuo clearly felt that Nobita poke his hand, as if exhausted his whole strength.
's life-connected and extremely dedicated performance makes it hard to get away. For a time, Brother Shuo was the first to tell Huang Shanghe, who played his elder brother, no matter what happened. Shanghe adjusted for a long time before he emerged from the idea of "Brother Shuo is my predecessor." The mouse still regards Brother Shuo as his eldest brother. As for the love that was broken because of the drama, he didn't know that he had really left the role until he realized that he didn't dare to look directly at Nobita. The
movie was originally called "Love Is Blue", but was later changed to "Drunk, Life, Dream and Death". The director's comment was "Dreaming in a drunk state, to feel life and death". In the view of Brother Shuo, this is a group of people who are seriously drunk, dreaming and dying. Although confused, they are all looking for an outlet for life.

was filmed, and Zhang Zuoji told Shuo that his role as Ren Shuo represented the "life" in "Drunken Life, Dream and Death". The big brother in the play finally opened the door and the light came in, and this depressed movie finally had a bright color. In fact, I hope that there will always be, for example, the spider web on the wall in the movie. My brother will look at it when he comes home in the morning. The spider web has been getting bigger. "Spiders can survive in narrow areas without light. Why can't people? Wu? Guo Yu can live in such stinky water, why can't people? I opened the door in a daze. There will be a better future, better hope, and better exit. I am reborn. This process will make me feel very much. Painful, sad, and helpless, but all the characters are always looking for love, and they all have love in them."
Life is the drama
"Drunk, Dreams and Death" The last scene is a remake shot, Shuo The lover my brother had abandoned found Nobita and said to her, "Will you return him to me?" Zhang Zuoji called "cut", and then said, "It's finished." Everyone was a little surprised, but still unfinished, "Huh? Huh?" Zhang Zuoji almost never let the actors sleep well for more than 20 days in
filming. He asks everyone to come to the company to exercise together at 6 in the morning, and then start filming, and after dinner, he will talk to the actors one by one about the roles. When the actor is extremely tired, it is easier for him to instill the effect he wants into the actor's head. "He is afraid that we have too much time to rest, do our own thing, and get rid of the state of filming. I would rather go to bed without taking a bath, the next day is the state of the previous day." Zheng Renshuo is the last one to go every day, most of the time Sleep company directly. When
was looking for an actor, Zhang Zuoji hoped that his partner would spend more time, "The director is used to spending time getting to know and observing a person, so that he can know how to help the actor add points, and let the actor help his play add points. "The point he gave to Brother is to use his rich emotional interpretation. Compared with the other two male protagonists, Brother's experience is richer and can be presented more naturally.
Zhang Zuoji is famous for "life is drama". He will let the protagonist live in the filming house three months in advance and ask them to bring some personal belongings to eliminate the strangeness and smoothly enter the set scene. Brother
took itClothes, mirrors, curtains, bedspreads, pillows, quilts, and a poster of myself, "This is my thing, my room. This feeling is faint, involuntary, and natural." Just use things that are not your own. Time to cultivate feelings. The dead-flying bicycle that appeared throughout the film belongs to Huang Shanghe, who plays his elder brother. Shanghe goes to the company to ride it, trains to ride it, and rides it after get off work. It naturally becomes his thing.
Huang Shanghe is the first academy of actors that Zhang Zuoji has worked with for so many years. Zhang Zuoji, who is accustomed to using amateur actors, set a background for him to connect more easily: he studied in the United States, broke up with his boyfriend, and returned to Taiwan after suicide. Work in a film company during the day and work as a dancer in the gay bar at night. The American drama is the content of Huang Shanghe's last film.
The passion drama between Zheng Renshuo and Huang Shanghe is the climax of the whole movie. During the audition, the director saw that the two of them were not relaxing. He patted Zheng Renshuo, "Eh, would you like to drink some wine? Do you think you love someone, and boys love boys the same way boys love girls? What if this is you? What about the last performance?" "He was joking once, and then he was very harsh, and slowly let you feel." After
filming, Zheng Renshuo squatted and cried, his eyes closed tightly in the cry of nearly twenty minutes , As far as I can see, the pictures in my head are numerous, the family, friends, girlfriends, staff, the hardships of the brothers in the play, the desperation of the actor brothers, and the hardships of the staff members are entangled into complex Emotions rushed up all at once, turned into tears and released them. The director cried until the sound diminished, and the director touched Brother Shuo's head and hugged him.
The brother in life and the brother in the script were bound together by the director, which brought too much surprise to Zheng Renshuo. "I don't think I'm an actor, I'm getting along with these people. The director pushes you to a desperate situation, but he will always hug you tightly from behind to prevent you from getting hurt."
On the day of the premiere of "Life, Dream and Death," Zhang Zuoji was sentenced to three years and ten months in prison for drunk sexual assault, and also missed the Golden Horse Award. At the awards ceremony, "Drunk, Dreams and Death" won ten nominations and won four awards. When receiving the Best Editing Award, Brother Shuo and his ex-girlfriend Nobita took the stage to accept the award on behalf of the director. There is no moment more "life is drama" than that scene.
