Guan Chen still remembers when he just woke up from the hospital.

The last scene in his memory was that of darkness. He was lying on the execution bed, closing his eyes, smelling the despair in the air of the death row prisoners who lingered on the human world, and died peacefully in a daze.

It was like taking a nap. Guan Chen woke up in the hospital and regretfully realized that he could not die.

He did not think that his body was strange and immune to the drug, so he was used for research.

My first reaction was that this was a trick played by the police officer, just to force him to confess and reveal the boss.

People who have almost died once will be more attached to life. Guan Chen has also used similar methods, first giving a near-death experience to break through the psychological defense, then providing false human warmth, arousing the survival instinct, and finally renegotiating.

It's just that the same trick was used on Guan Chen, and he didn't feel lucky, only unhappy. He was obviously ready to die, but he had to trick you first. If the police officer thought that letting him fake death once would make him greedy for life, he would resent the boss.

, that would be to underestimate him.

Guan Chen decided not to say anything for a while, hoping that the negotiation would break down and he could truly die.

He closed his eyes again and gasped. He felt so weak that he didn't know what had been punched into his body. He was disgusted with this weakness. Guan Chen clenched his fists, trying to judge how much strength he still had at this time. He moved his hand slightly.

, he did not feel the restraints of the cold handcuffs as expected. He moved his limbs and was surprised to find that his hands and ankles were not locked. What does this mean? Are you not afraid that he will escape? Guan Chen opened his eyes suddenly, turned around and looked around the ward. There was no guard note.

, and there was no obvious surveillance. The door of the ward was wide open, and there was normal noise in the corridor, with people coming and going towards some men, women, and children in ordinary clothes.

Suddenly a possibility came to mind...perhaps the boss fulfilled his promise and used some tricks to get him out?

Guan Chen's spirit was shaken. Before he died, he took back the breath he felt when he said goodbye to the world and the past.

No, no... this might also be a trap. Guan Chen was on guard and began to think hard about how to escape from this place.

The ward was a single room, and he was the only one. There were white clouds floating in the sky outside the window, and there was no one else in sight, so he could not tell the floor. The bed sheets were made of high-density cotton to the touch, and were torn to make an escape rope, which could easily bear the weight of an adult.

Even if the length is not long enough, he can escape to the ground floor and descend to other floors. It is relatively easy to escape. However, there are some fruit baskets and flowers piled on the sofa and the ground by the window. There may be miniature surveillance cameras hidden among them, so be careful.

The nurse walked into the door and leaned over without any precautions, preparing to give Guan Chen an injection.

Guan Chen, who was dozing, was worried that the ingredients in the medicine would make him drowsy, so when the nurse turned around, he was ready to quietly pull out the needle.

However, when he lowered his head, he saw a frail, lean, clean hand with no calluses or fine scars growing in the sleeve of his hospital gown.

Don't remember to hit your own hands.

Guan Chen was confused.

…

"stop."

Director Tian stood up from behind the screen, scratched his neck, but stopped talking.

"I'm at a loss." Guan Chen sat cross-legged on the hospital bed, supporting his knee with one elbow and his chin with the back of his hand, looking very confident.

The crew was in an uproar, exchanging glances with each other and whispering:

"What a progress!"

"I didn't blame other departments today...it's not easy!"

"It's just that Brother Chen's tone is a bit unpleasant. It sounds like he is blaming Director Tian."

"..."

Guan Chen observed Director Tian's expression.

His sentence "I'm at a loss" is not a complaint similar to "I'm speechless". Yesterday, he heard it clearly through the earphones. Director Tian wanted to see the killer Ding Wu's confusion, so he was infinitely NG.

Although this solved Guan Chen's misunderstanding of Director Tian's professional ability, it also made Guan Chen feel that Director Tian was naive, had the characteristic stubbornness of middle-aged literary and intellectuals, liked to waste everyone's time, and was as tough as during an audition.

He couldn't complete the homework assigned to him, so he secretly prepared a strange script called "Red Boy vs. Black Cat Detective" that was wrong in terms of text and text. He always said what he meant and always said something he didn't say directly.

Guan Chen thought to himself, if you want him to play anything, just say no?

The reason why Guan Chen was at a loss because he had never thought about playing the killer Ding Wu before was because he believed that after Ding Wu lost his memory, only his instincts were left, and his body lost the restraint of consciousness, like a wild beast, with actions before reactions, like restarting a computer.

Machines and brains unconsciously begin to record all the information in front of them. A large amount of information pours in, and it may be too late to produce the emotion of confusion.

However, in order to see the killer Ding Wu's confusion, Director Tian did not hesitate to spend a whole day, and even had the attitude of continuing to toss. Therefore, Guan Chen had to prescribe the right medicine and adjust his strategy.

In that half month, Guan Chen only learned three lessons from Holly.

The first lesson is that actors are taboo on directly acting emotions. Emotions exist in performances, but they are generated when the character's actions create conflicts, and they are a by-product of actions.

Therefore, Guan Chen will not directly play the emotion of "bewildered". Bewildered, unfocused eyes, slow behavior...these are obvious actions that make the audience feel that you are at a loss. This is the technique of the first stage, and is suitable for the pursuit of the third stage of "returning to nature"

"For Guan Chen, it is a low-level and lazy acting method.

Lesson 2: The process of an actor's performance is actually a process of making a series of [choices].

Like happiness, sadness, and anger, confusion has a thousand forms of expression. Performing one of them is tantamount to making a choice.

These choices should focus on the character, analyze the prescribed situation, combine the actor's own understanding of human nature, understanding of the character and the overall artistic style of the film, and then find the action chain that suits the character among thousands of choices.

After Guan Chen finished eavesdropping last night and handed the video to the profiler, he went to the room and began to think about what the killer's daze looked like.

The killer is a profession that deals with plans and accidents all year round. Like everyone else, the killer has only one life. Unless it is absolutely necessary, no killer will forcefully carry out a task without adequate preparation.

Even if you encounter an accident, you must calm down and not show your weaknesses to the enemy.

Being at a loss is tantamount to declaring that you are helpless and waiting to die.

Therefore, the killer's confusion is a weakness, a hedgehog's belly, a beast's wound. It must be protected at all levels and cannot be easily shown to others.

The content of the scene shot today is the same as yesterday. The killer Ding Wu, played by Guan Chen, was lying on the hospital bed with his eyes closed to rest. The good-for-nothing played by Xiang Jun stole the identity of the killer and spent his wallet carelessly.

After taking out the money, he quietly sneaked into the ward and wanted to return his clothes and wallet. As a result, Ding Wu, who was pretending to be asleep, grabbed his wrist and almost peed. At that time, he was about to kneel down and beg for mercy. But Ding Wu looked at the ceiling and asked the waste material: [

Who am I?] The useless person is unclear. Ding Wu began to mechanically repeat what the doctor told him, saying that his name was Fang Liren. He fell on the back of his head in the bathhouse and suffered temporary amnesia. Now he can't remember anything, not even who he is.

I don’t know how many people there are in my family. [Do you know me?] Ding Wu asked the useless person.

The Ding Wu played by Guan Chen yesterday was like a blank sheet of paper, with no tendency in his tone.

Today, when Ding Wu asked the waste material, his tone was hopeful, as if he was asking for an answer from a kind person, but his eyes cut the waste material fiercely, and his limbs were even more guarded than yesterday.

.Like a poisonous snake about to pounce, or like a beast that has been charging for a long time. If something goes wrong at the slightest moment, it will violently fight back.

But after the performance, Director Tian still seemed not very satisfied.

"I'm confused and anxious." Guan Chen emphasized to Director Tian.

"Not only are you confused and anxious, I am also confused..." Director Tian thought Guan Chen was acting coquettishly and complaining, but he murmured "confused" and "anxious" and felt that these two words were so familiar. Director Tian suddenly realized

What? I covered my forehead with a headache. After a few seconds, I announced to everyone: "Take a ten-minute break!"

Everyone on the set dispersed to take a rest, even though today's shooting had just started.

Director Tian called the assistant director, cameraman, and screenwriter together, frowning and asking them something. Those people shook their heads one after another. Director Tian touched his forehead feebly, hesitated for a moment, and then slowly walked towards the patient who was resting on the hospital bed.

Guan Chen.
