Superstars In Parallel Time and Space

"The furniture is arranged, and the daily necessities are placed!"

The crew came to a room, and the assistant director began to direct the staff to do things.

This room is the shooting location of the next scene, and it is also Chen Mubai's home. This is where their family of three lives.

The house is narrow and messy, but at least it is a home that can be inhabited, and it still looks very warm.

A house is a product that everyone dreams of buying, which means that a person takes root in the city, and it is a "commodity" that countless migrant workers dream of!

Chen Mubai's children and living environment all show his poor economic conditions. A family of three can only live in a small house, which is the living environment of most people.

"Don't make things too tidy, there should be traces of life, clean but not messy."

"yes!"

While the employees were decorating the house, Chen Mubai and the actress were memorizing their lines and preparing for a scene.

This scene is a rivalry between the two of them. There are not only loving scenes, but also noisy scenes. Two suddenly different emotions and states will be shown here.

The child is of mixed race, the woman is American white, and Chen Mubai is Chinese, which also means that he himself is a Chinese who is struggling to survive in the United States, and the United States is a person with serious racial discrimination. The status of Asians is not high. The bottom of the chain of contempt.

Being able to marry Chen Mubai and have a child, it can be seen that his wife has a very good affection for him, and the two really love each other.

These are the meanings that are not told in the movie, but implied.

Being able to marry and have children with a person who is at the bottom of the chain of contempt and not very rich, isn't it enough to explain her love for Chen Mubai?

In the previous street scenes, Chen Mubai was on his way to work when he saw people in the financial industry driving luxury cars and well-dressed, and he was very envious.

He also asked the secret of why it was so successful.

The other party told him: "Know how to behave in the world and be proficient in numbers."

As for the crowds walking on the bustling streets, everyone seems to have a happy smile on their faces, as if life is so beautiful.

This is a stark contrast. A street is dilapidated, and the people living there are all poor people. Everyone walks very fast and can't speak, as if they are in a hurry.

The bustling streets are the opposite. Everyone talks happily together, walks slowly, and is friendly to people.

Even the Chinese who was at the bottom of the chain of contempt, the person who spoke to him did not look down on him.

At least, it can't be seen on the surface, but kind.

This can also be regarded as the quality performance of the elite group. Even if they really look down on you, they won’t let you feel it. They will keep that contempt in their hearts. This is also the result of differences in class and educational environment.

"Are you ready?"

"Prepare......"

"a!"

The camera was framed, everyone in the bedroom was out, leaving a gap in the curtains, and the light from outside came in.

Chen Mubai and his wife Kaisha were lying on the bed, they didn't have much clothes on them, they were all underwear.

"Dididi~"

There was a sound of the alarm clock, Kaisha turned off the alarm clock and started to get up.

This plot is easy to shoot, there are no lines, just a body movement, and there is no intimacy scene, just pretend to be asleep and wake up and turn off the hazy feeling of turning off the alarm clock.

After going through it once, the scene came to the bathroom.

Due to the limited space, the cameras here are basically pre-installed and fixed on the wall, rather than the kind of shelf that takes up a lot of space.

Chen Mubai was in the shower with his upper body naked, and only his upper body was shown in the camera. His eyes were a little empty, as if he was thinking about something.

After taking a bath, he came to the washbasin, and his wife Kaisha was also there. At this time, the clothes of the two were still close-fitting clothing. Chen Mubai was wearing a white vest, and Kaisha looked a little sexy, wearing a low-cut pajamas.

"After get off work today, I'm going to the securities firm."

With that said, Chen Mubai began to brush his teeth.

"Why?" Kaisha looked at him suspiciously and asked, starting to comb her hair. Both of them needed to go to work, racing against time.

"See if there's a job there."

"What kind of job?"

"You know me, when I was a child, I could finish my math textbook in a week, so I wanted to see what kind of work I could do." Chen Mubai replied.

His wife looked at Chen Mubai with a surprised expression: "Stock economist? Isn't he an astronaut?"

This is mocking Chen Mubai's overreaching, this profession is not something that ordinary people can do, it can be regarded as a relatively noble profession.

Chen Mubai was ridiculed and didn't speak, just quietly looking at himself in the mirror.

His eyes suddenly became firm, and he strode towards the bedroom. Kaisha was changing clothes, and she was wearing a bra on her upper body. Although it was a bit revealing, it was normal.

Just like many people wearing bikinis on the beach, for this kind of lens, this kind of picture is a normal scale, and it is not a sexy picture.

"Don't talk to me like that, Kai'Sa." Chen Mubai looked at Kai'Sa with a serious expression.

No man likes being ridiculed by his wife, it's a matter of dignity and self-esteem.

Kai'Sa lowered her head with a wry smile and kept nodding.

"You should be making sales calls."

"I've done it, three weeks ago, but it didn't work." Chen Mubai argued.

"Do you remember that you have to pay the rent next week?" Kaisha asked back.

"Maybe you don't remember?"

"We haven't paid for two months and will be owed three months next week."

The more Kaisha spoke, the more excited she became, her expression became sad, her body bowed forward, her hands spread out, and her tone became louder: "I have been in a double-separation class for four months."

"Hurry up and sell the amount stipulated in the contract, so we can get out!"

By the end, Kai'Sa began to cry sad tears.

After Chen Mubai saw it, he tried his best to explain: "I'm doing it, working hard to improve this home, for you and my son!"

"Crack!"

This paragraph changed from calm to intense, and two people who loved each other broke out in conflict and began to quarrel.

The rise of emotions also has a process, and this quarrel is an outbreak of contradictions.

After the assistant director yelled Ka, someone immediately handed Kaisha a tissue to wipe her tears.

"Kasha, your emotions came too suddenly, and with too much force, there should be a gradual process."

The assistant director looked at Kaisha who was wiping tears and said: "Anyway, you and Chen Mubai are a couple. Even if you complain about him, the relationship has not broken down and there are still expectations."

"According to the psychological state of your current role, you are already very tired. You have worked double jobs for four consecutive months, and your mind and body are on the verge of collapse. That's why you have this quarrel."

"It's not that kind of hysterical cry, it's actually a psychologically exhausting silent outburst, although very angry, but the voice is not loud, but the feeling of collapse and despair, this quarrel is to vent the heart That despair."

"Understood, let's do it again later, director." Kaisha nodded thoughtfully, thinking about how to behave later.

In this scene, Kai'Sa's interpretation was more difficult than Chen Mubai's. Chen Mubai was the one to explain passively, and he felt that Kai'Sa's words hurt his self-esteem from the beginning, so he was a little angry.

But until Kaisha said those words, he knew that these things were inseparable from him, and his attitude and emotions also retracted a lot, and he was no longer as tough as before.

Chen Mubai performed very well the kind of husband who was despised and then felt that his self-esteem was hurt. He went to talk to his wife sternly, and then became emotional during the quarrel, and then was silenced by his wife's tears and words, and his mood dropped again. down.

His emotions are divided into three stages, three very simple processes, unlike Kaisha who needs to show the entanglement of love and the helplessness of reality, as well as the numbness and despair of life!

In this scene, theoretically, Kaisha’s upper limit of acting skills is higher than that of Chen Mubai. It depends on whether she can burst out. Chen Mubai uses three emotions in three stages, while Kaisha has multiple emotions in one stage. Emotions are naturally more difficult.

"Director, I'm ready, let's do another paragraph!"

Kai'Sa sat aside and rested for a while, feeling that her emotions had almost recovered, and wanted to start again.

"Come."

"a!"

After shooting several times in a row, the plot passed again. Although Kaisha didn't perfectly express those emotions, the effect was almost the same.

After all, not every actor's acting skills have super strength, otherwise the titles of actor and actress would not be so rare, and everyone would flock to them.

Then, the scene began to change a bit sad.

Life still hasn't changed much, and quarrels have become more frequent. Poor and lowly couples are sad, and Kaisha is fed up with this kind of life. She decides to divorce her husband Chen Mubai.

Next, there is the two people's competition for the child, and during the filming process, everyone understood why Kai'Sa became like this after the filming of the plot.

Originally, she married Chen Mubai without hesitation because she believed that the two could make her life better and better through joint efforts, which was actually the case, but until Chen Mubai made a bold but wrong decision Decide.

The box he had been carrying in his hand was the wrong decision made at that time, and it was also the reason that made their life a mess, and it was also the main reason for the contradictions that caused the couple to start frequent quarrels.

The current progress of this movie makes many people feel miserable, and there is no atmosphere of healing. Instead, it makes everyone feel painful about the helplessness and despair of life, and the life of husband and wife after marriage is not as good as everyone imagined, but daily necessities. Ordinary life, even noisy because of the trivial matters of life.

This is completely different from what was said at the press conference of "When Happiness Comes Knocking at the Door" at the beginning. In the early filming, it basically showed all the trivial things and troubles in life, every detail was very real.

But everyone knows that there will definitely be changes in the future. After all, the background of this filming is also during the economic depression in the United States. Many people went bankrupt and lost their jobs.

Chen Mubai's current situation can be said to be quite miserable. It is almost comparable to Cheng Yong in "I'm Not the God of Medicine". He is divorced in middle age, his life is unsatisfactory, and his children will be taken away by his ex-wife.

However, Cheng Yong still has an old father, and he still has friends. As a Chinese in the United States, Chen Mubai doesn't even have many friends, and he is still at the bottom of the chain of despise.

In terms of living conditions, Cheng Yong is better than Chen Mubai, at least Cheng Yong still has a shop...
