Chapter 330 Filming
"Ka! Lin Wu, when you hear the news that the band is disbanding, your expression should be more exaggerated!"
In a theater, Wu Yuchen was filming the scene where the male protagonist lost his job at the beginning of the story "The Embalmer".
Although the movie is told in reverse order, Wu Yuchen must have shot it in order this time. He did not have to save money and time, which is more helpful for the actors to progress emotionally when playing the role.
After hearing this, Zhao Wenxuan came over and asked a little puzzled: "Director, if it is more exaggerated, wouldn't it be a bit too much?"
When he heard his boss say that the band was disbanded, he showed a very surprised expression. He felt that he was already trying harder, but he didn't expect that Wu Yuchen wanted to exaggerate even more.
Wu Yuchen was not impatient, and explained with a smile: "If you think about your role alone, you may think that normal people would not be so exaggerated. But not only consider the character, but also the style and tone of the movie. to consider.
Our movie "The Embalmer" itself talks about the heavy topic of death. If it were shot in a realistic way, the whole movie would become even heavier.
Just before, Zhou Xun announced to the public that she was Xiao Longnu, and the crew had already confirmed it with her. Not long after, Zhang Beard said that she was not confirmed to be Zhou Xun. This made Zhou Xun angry. The crew had clearly informed her in the first place. It was Xiao Longnu, so she simply resigned from the role. From now on, she would have nothing to do with the crew of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and stop using her name to hype her up.
"Has your heroine in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" been decided yet? I read that Zhou Xun resigned from the role immediately, and Director Zhang also let her slip away so much!"
It seems that the production of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" has been completed and will be broadcast on Mango TV this month. Liu Qianqian's role as the heroine this time should further enhance her fame and popularity, which will also be more beneficial to the follow-up "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".
"What do you do after that?"
Therefore, I need to add some moderators to the whole movie, which are light-hearted and funny clips that appear from time to time to adjust the mood of the audience, such as the scene where Lin Wu is a model later.
After Wu Yuchen finished speaking, several people once again expressed that they understood, and then the three of them started communicating with each other again.
Wu Yuchen went over and patted Jiang Qinqin on the shoulder: "Don't Bingbing have your help? Besides, they are not the same type. Don't worry about it."
The same is true for male celebrities. Huang Xiaoming, Lu Yi, Nie Yuan, and even Liu Xiang, who just became popular all over the country, were all mentioned by him.
Then Wu Yuchen said:
"I'll tell you the process again. When he first entered the room, Lin Wu's slight physiological reaction mainly came from objective things such as smells and maggots. Before Teacher You lifted the quilt on the corpse, Lin Wu's physiological rejection reaction was not Strong, so the light rope is at rest at this time.
Jiang Qinqin is not surprised that Huang Xiaoming plays Yang Guo. After all, Huang Xiaoming's appeal is definitely ahead among his age group and his image is also very good. However, he still has some doubts about a young girl like Liu Qianqian playing the role of Xiao Longnu.
After a while, when Jiang Qinqin was ready, Wu Yuchen started shooting again.
Jiang Qinqin asked curiously: "Who have you chosen as the hero and heroine?"
…
This section actually uses animal corpses to pave the way for the actor's emotions and subsequent actions. The octopus that wanted to be released but died made the actor Lin Wu seem to see himself, struggling hard on the road to pursuing his dream, and finally His only fate may be death.
Wu Yuchen looked at the footage he just shot again, shook his head and said, "No need."
So the scene where the male protagonist loses his job at the beginning, although it is obviously a very frustrating thing for the male protagonist, I hope that the audience can see your exaggerated expression and smile knowingly, and at the same time understand that you are the last one to know. People, show your simplicity and slowness. "
In this section, Wu Yuchen required the whole process to be shot handheld, in order to highlight the hero's inner panic and instability.
The scene filmed by the crew at this time is a foreshadowing for the male protagonist to give up the cello and return to the suburban countryside from the bustling metropolis.
"Don't get caught again."
While Jiang Qinqin was making adjustments, Wu Yuchen was also looking at the Suzhou River below.
At this time, the photographer was carrying the camera, and the camera followed You Benchang and Zhao Wenxuan. What is being filmed here is Lin Wu’s experience of going out to attend the funeral for the first time with his boss after he joined the company. After seeing this scene, he couldn't stop vomiting. As soon as he started, he felt the difficulty of the work extremely intuitively.
"Cello."
Jiang Qinqin asked from the side: "What?"
To be fair, Liu Qianqian's acting skills are a bit weak, and she works hard enough. But in fact, most of her roles are supported by her temperament and appearance, and she fits the role well. For example, in "Legend of Sword and Fairy", the role of Zhao Ling'er fits her very well. As for the Little Dragon Girl in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", she was basically cold throughout the whole movie. It all depended on her looks and temperament.
"Yang Guo is Huang Xiaoming, and Xiao Longnu is Liu Qianqian."
Lying in the house was an old man who had been dead for two weeks. His body was rotting and maggots were all over the house.
At the same time, this is also a metaphor, that is, the male protagonist failed to free the life, but personally sent away a corpse, implying that the male protagonist will enter the funeral industry in the future. There will be several subsequent scenes in this film that use animals to reflect the hero's changes in mood.
Wu Yuchen knew what was going on as soon as he heard it. It was Zhang Beard using actors from all walks of life to hype up "The Legend of the Condor Heroes"!
"Director Wu, do you still need the octopus?"
Wu Yuchen looked at the room that was decorated with a foul smell and was messy and disgusting, but he didn't react much. After all, it was much more uncomfortable to watch the body repair of people in car accidents.
Jiang Qinqin nodded when she heard this. She also admitted that the girl's appearance and temperament were indeed top-notch, but then she asked: "She has good looks and temperament, how about her acting skills? Is she spiritual?"
To be honest, in his previous life, as a simple audience, Wu Yuchen was a little disgusted with Zhang Da Huzi, mainly because his publicity and hype methods were too damn bad. He fooled many people, but in the end, wasn't it still an internal decision?
But now as an investor, Wu Yuchen stands from the perspective of a boss. For his workers to bring such a lot of heat to the work before it was broadcast, he naturally appreciates it!
Speaking of Fan Bingbing, the "New Police Story" she participated in was recently released simultaneously in mainland China and Hong Kong Island. The beautiful female robber left a lot of impressions on the audience. Now she also wants to be more motivated and get the opportunity to participate in more movies. However, Wu Yuchen and Jiang Qinqin are filming "Departures" together recently, so she has no chance for the time being.
You three must pay attention to your positioning later, otherwise you won't be able to achieve the effect I want. "
In her previous life, Liu Qianqian had always been unwilling to join other companies. She didn't consider whether it was Tangren or Huayi who invited her. As a result, she took advantage of Huayi's "Forbidden Kingdom" resources for free and fell out with Huayi.
The big bearded man's operation has been hyped for more than half a year. Every month, several different candidates are reported, which has whetted the appetite of netizens and the media. The casting has been a hot topic and attracted a lot of attention.
This time, the big bearded man hyped "The Return of the Condor Heroes", and he really took advantage of everyone in the circle. As long as the Little Dragon Girl was of the right age, he called them all, such as Liu Qianqian, Zhang Baizhi, Wang Fei, Zhou Xun, etc. , Zhang Ziyi and other actresses, including Jiang Qinqin.
However, after Jiang Qinqin announced her participation in "Departures", all the rumors about her playing Xiaolongnu were dispelled.
But now it's different. Miracle Films has Wu Yuchen, the great director who has been in Hollywood. So why go far away? Joining Miracle Films and hugging Wu Yuchen's thigh is the shortcut to Hollywood!
Therefore, Liu Qianqian and Liu Xiaoli chose to join Miracle Films without much hesitation.
After Wu Yuchen called a halt, he said to Jiang Qinqin:
"Qinqin, pay attention to your tone, it's the kind of gentleness with temptation."
Hearing this, Wu Yuchen shook his head directly: "I can't compare with you. "
If this movie was shot a few years earlier, it would not have been possible to shoot at Suzhou River, because the Suzhou River was a stinking ditch in the previous few years. Starting in 1998, Shanghai invested 7 billion yuan and took 4 years to clean up the black mud in Suzhou River in the first phase of the project, and built green corridors on both sides. After that, there are also plans for the second and third phases.
"Cut!"
...
Whether the shooting technique is clever or the plot is innovative is sometimes not the only criterion for measuring the success of a director. How to use plain plots to repeatedly highlight relatively profound themes and to insert delicate emotions into them is sometimes more of a test of skill.
When Teacher You lifted the quilt covering the dead, the strong sensory stimulation made Lin Wu, who was in contact for the first time, subconsciously avoid it. At the same time, when Teacher You stood up and touched the light cord, it began to sway, reflecting Lin Wu's extremely panicked mood at this time.
Jiang Qinqin couldn't help but say immediately after hearing this: "Liu Qianqian? Is that the one who played Wang Yuyan before? Why did you choose her in the end? ”
When Wu Yuchen called for a stop, some crew members were already using nets to catch the octopus on the river.
In the camera, Winston Chao's expression became very depressed, his eyes were dull, and he lowered his head and said, "Let's just forget it..."
The Suzhou River cleaning is still in the second phase, but some sections are already relatively clear. Wu Yuchen and his crew chose this section because it was good to shoot.
In the previous life, someone mentioned the problem of the style of "Departures", but now that Wu Yuchen has started to shoot this film himself, he feels that the original director It's still very smart. In fact, this kind of style that combines lightness and humor into the film is the right decision.
Jiang Qinqin smiled and said: "I'm not worried. She and I are 10 years apart, but I guess Bingbing will have to compete with her for resources~"
That night, after returning to the hotel, Wu Yuchen just came out of the bathroom. Jiang Qinqin was looking at a newspaper in her hand, and then asked Wu Yuchen:
Wu Yuchen said again: "As for her, I guess she has a better living condition since she was a child, and she doesn't have enough experience. It's not easy for her to go the acting school route."
Zhao Wenxuan was also enlightened after listening to Wu Yuchen's story: "Director, I understand, then I will work harder later."
After calling a halt, Wu Yuchen called Zhao Wenxuan and the photographer and others over, and then pointed to the hanging light rope in front of him and said: "No matter whether it is the camera or Lin Wu's position, you must pay attention to this light rope. It will directly guide the audience visually and is an externalized symbol of the male protagonist's inner emotions. ”
If the film is really shot in a heavy tone, it will be very unfriendly to the audience, and many people will not even want to finish watching it. However, this light-hearted tone can keep the audience watching. The sudden heaviness after the funny and relaxing moments can also touch the audience's heart. For example, "Dying to Survive" is actually like this.
……
He smiled and said: "The male and female protagonists have been decided, it's just director Zhang who is hyping up the movie to increase the popularity."
In fact, to put it bluntly, she and her mother still look down on the domestic entertainment industry, and what they really want to do is go to Hollywood. Liu Qianqian and Liu Xiaoli have always known that Hollywood is better than Hong Kong, and Hong Kong is better than Hong Kong. Mainland domestic entertainment, in fact, this is also a common view in the industry.
Zhao Wenxuan held an octopus in his hand and threw it into the Suzhou River. But the next moment, the octopus, which was clearly alive at home, was floating motionless on the river.
"Click!"
When Jiang Qinqin heard this, she immediately became happy and humbly said: "She is so much younger than me. She is definitely incomparable now."
Wu Yuchen nodded. Be clear at the beginning now, so that Zhao Wenxuan can more clearly show the effect Wu Yuchen wants in the future.
Wu Yuchen said with a smile: "The reason why we let her star is that she joined Miracle Film and Television and is now one of our own. In addition, her appearance and temperament are indeed good, and she is a good prospect. Our company plans to focus on cultivating her. Naturally this time That’s it.”
Wu Yuchen smiled: "Don't think about this, just play your role first!"
But this is not the effect I want. I hope the movie can warm people's hearts more, allow people to better accept the work content of the embalmer, think more deeply about how to face the death of people around them, and be more respectful of life and death.
As for what was under the quilt this time, it was a prop man. This scene will not be shot with real people, and the corpses that have decomposed for two weeks will not enter the camera at all, otherwise it will really disgust the audience.
What is mainly shown this time is the reaction of the male protagonist to being encased for the first time, and what Wu Yuchen just emphasized is the visual skills he constructed. Most viewers will not notice this kind of detail when watching the movie, and it will be completed unconsciously. Sensory guidance.
(I definitely didn’t write this paragraph to whitewash Lao Mouzi, but to pave the way for the subsequent plot. Think about what will happen in the next two years? Do you really think I wrote a bad word count? I can’t tell the plot of a movie easily than this. You still have to look up the two breakup information and waste your brain cells to make up the plot. But since you don’t want to read it, I will just leave the results when the time comes. You can figure out the specific process by yourself.)
