Chapter 139: The Glory of Human Nature!
"When the rescue team arrives, they will find a body in the crashed lunar rover. ”
"That man, you're going to kill him?"
Huang Bo, who looked very weak and old, asked, "Do you know what you're doing?
"Ahem..."
After almost three years of work, his life has entered the end of his life, and he was injured, and he was a little excited, and his body couldn't stand it, so he coughed violently a few times.
"You have a fever and a lot of sweating. ”
Huang Bo, who had changed into a young outfit, touched the other party's forehead when he saw this, but the weaker and older Huang Bo, who was almost unstable, opened his hand.
"Put your hat on. ”
Huang Bo, who was in the prime of life, didn't care, as if he was comforting his own child, wiped his sweat for him, and went to take the hat in his hand and wanted to put it on him.
The old and frail Huang Bo shook the hat in his hand and refused to let him help.
He sighed slightly, "In order for the plan to succeed, I must hold the rescue team, and you will help me tow him to the lunar rover where the accident occurred." ”
"Ahem..."
"What about us, if the rescue team finds us when they arrive. ”
"They won't find us, they'll only see me, and you... You'll follow the helium-3 transport on the way home, I've calculated, you'll have to endure a few more gravity, but you'll be fine. ”
Rescuers and maintenance crews came to the moon to find the body of the clone 5 on the rover that had crashed and destroy it.
If No. 6 doesn't know, let No. 6 continue to work.
Otherwise, kill No. 6 together, reactivate No. 7, and everything will be restored to the same as before.
Either way, they must die one or not all together.
And No. 6, who had just been activated, gave this opportunity to No. 5.
Activate 7 and kill him and let him replace 5, while 5 hides in the transport ship and returns to Earth.
"You're going home. ”
"You're done with your three years, they can't crucify you here anymore!"
"You can also go and see my daughter, I've seen his video, it's so beautiful, like her mother. ”
"Okay, pass!"
Eight times, a long shot is done!
A morning has passed, Li Qian looked at the time, and announced that the meal was open.
Li Qian and Huang Bo, director of photography Zhang Zhonghua, art director Huang Weidong, and executive director Su Lun sat together, chatting about the shots taken in the morning while eating.
"Director Li, will the behavior of Clone 5 be too abrupt, in the face of such a choice, the two of them only got along for a few days, and then gave each other the chance of survival. Su Lun couldn't help but ask his own questions.
"No. 5 and No. 6 are not the same. ”
Li Qian shook his head, "For No. 6, what he really experienced was only the time on the moon for a few days, and in the implanted memory, he and his wife and daughter had just separated, but he connected the signal to the earth, and when he talked to his daughter on the 5th, his daughter said that her mother had died a long time ago." ”
"For this wife, No. 6 is familiar and strange, and when she learns that she is dead, she can't stand it, because in memory they have just separated. ”
"This is the only thought, and it doesn't belong to him, it's gone, he has no concern on earth, and No. 5 has watched countless videos of his wife and daughter in the past three years, and has dreamed of them countless times in his dreams. ”
"It's a kind of fulfillment, just like the line said, No. 5 has completed three years of work, and he should go back. ”
Zhang Zhonghua next to him said, "This is the glorious side of human nature." ”
"That's right. ”
Li Qian nodded, "There is a good side to human nature, and there is also an ugly side, I just show the good side, although there is a high probability that any of us will not give up the only chance of survival to others, but this kind of person definitely exists." ”
There are two sides to society and people, there are good and cherished, there are great evils and gods, and there are dark corners hidden in the bustling metropolis.
If you shoot the glorious side of human nature, some people must question it too fake, but this is the plot of the movie, and the two clones in this movie need to show the good side.
Otherwise, in such a depressing background, a little more intrigue between the two clones may have a better reputation in a specific circle, but it will definitely make most viewers uncomfortable.
If you want to sell money, you want to have just the right meal.
is like a lot of literary films that show the bottom of society and the bad side, which are specially sold in the European market.
They don't make good films, just to cater to European audiences and filmmakers over there.
Why just shoot the good side and not the bad side, and vice versa, the same question, the purpose is to cater to the audience.
Of course, they don't say that to the outside world, they all say that they are for art.
Li Qian glanced at Su Lun, the girl stopped chopping rice, and didn't know what she was thinking.
Shaking his head, "Whether as a director or screenwriter, especially for commercial films, don't pursue the so-called logic and truth excessively, these are all considered on the premise of ensuring the smooth plot and the watchability of the movie itself." ”
"Besides, the loopholes in the plot of many movies are not the problem of the loophole itself, but the fact that the plot is not foreshadowed and echoed before and after. ”
After a pause, Li Qian smiled, "I'll tell you a story, a true story." ”
Storytelling?
Everyone is interested, and filming is really boring, after filming during the day and at night, it is rare to have leisure time.
"A few decades ago, there was one of the top military leaders in Northern Ireland, Scapadici, who was the head of the murderous terrorists in the official mouth of the British government, who killed countless British police officers and civilians, and carried out more than 40 terrorist attacks.
But in fact, this man was bribed by the British when he was just a small soldier, and he was a super spy, and with the support of the British government, it took him 25 years to climb to the high position of one of the top military chiefs in Northern Ireland. ”
Everyone was stunned, there is such a powerful spy?
It is equivalent to one of the heads of a country, and it is a spy planted by a hostile country, which is outrageous.
And this spy was never exposed, and in the end it was revealed in the media by another senior spy in England, because he did not get the benefits that the English government should give him, which is tantamount to being betrayed by his own people. ”
Although Li Qian said that this was a true story, it still sounded like a wild talk.
"Is this true?" Su Lun couldn't help but ask.
"You can find it on the Internet. ”
Li Qian smiled, "This matter itself is very absurd, can you imagine that the Minister of Defense, one of the four giants of Mi Lijian's cabinet, is a spy for another country?"
However, if you understand his 25-year latent career, you will admire him, then this absurd thing will become reasonable, and it is even made into a film and television drama, which is also very watchable. ”
"So, it's not about whether the plot itself is logical or not, it depends on how you tell the plot well, it's ridiculous if you don't tell it well, and it's wonderful if you tell it well. ”
The world is so big that there are many outrageous things in the country, and people who don't know about it won't believe it.
Li Qian has a feature documentary "Inspecting the Sword" in his memory, and there is a bull in the second episode, through the falsification of academic qualifications, the falsification of materials, the falsification of family relationships, the falsification of age, and the falsification of work experience, starting from a business owner who graduated from high school, he first faked the identity of a private teacher, and then became a township public teacher through the relationship between the principal, and slowly became the director of the Zhengzhi Department of the Department of the Ministry of Justice, and a senior official at the deputy ministerial level.
That feature documentary makes Li Qian a little incredible now, such a person, one year of deputy department, ten years of main hall, from the township to the county, city, province, capital, all the way up, and finally achieved the deputy ministerial level.
Eleven years in the main hall, officialdom didn't dare to write like this, not to mention that all the information of this person was fake.
Anyone who looks at this matter thinks it's ridiculous, but if you understand the whole process, the step-by-step promotion is so "reasonable", at least it makes sense.
It doesn't matter whether the thing itself has logic or not, but it depends on how it should be described, and the same is true for movies, which movie is not made up by imagination.
Su Lun thought for a while, as if he probably understood what Li Qian was trying to express.
"In other words, as long as there is a strong enough plot to support it, no matter how many unreasonable and illogical plots there are, it can be reasonable?"
"Almost. ”
Li Qian nodded, and said, "But the plot that is too detached from reality and completely opposite to the perception of the general public, no matter how you describe it, it is difficult for the audience to feel good." ”
"Director Li, I understand. Su Lun also nodded seriously.
The crew of "Moon" has been filming for more than 20 days, and Su Lun has also done more than 20 days of execution.
This is her first time doing execution, although she worked in Ma Xiaogang's studio for three years a few years ago and participated in the filming of his two films, but the mood is completely different from now.
Although he was also a big director at that time, he was nothing more than doing some of the most basic things in various departments, which belonged to the kind of things that could be done by casually finding someone to stay in the crew for a few days.
In this more than 20-day executive career, although there is not much to be busy with because it is a one-man show, she also truly understands what a director should do.
In the early stage of the storyboard script and storyboard creation process, Li Qian would also let him watch from the side when discussing photography and art, which can be said to have gone through all the procedures of a movie, except for sitting in front of the monitor and shouting "click".
Professional things can be learned in Chinese opera, and there is no shortage of students who have graduated from the directing department, but as a creator, she has no clue how to tell stories and tell them well.
Su Lun talked about his research on films, "Director Li, I have studied psychology for half a year, and I have watched a lot of movies of various genres, and every time I draw a psychological curve of the audience to understand the interaction between the audience and the film.
For example, how long is angelic time at the beginning, which allows me to tell the characters and backgrounds as much as possible in this time, how long the audience will get bored watching it, need to change the rhythm, and how long should there be a staged climax..."
Is this a research routine?
Isn't Hollywood's ready-made commercial film narrative model just there, and it still needs to be so troublesome.
Li Qian was a little speechless, "The vast majority of movies can directly refer to the three-act structure of Hollywood, and then change it a little bit according to the situation, so that there will be no problem, and there will be more effort to study the internal and external rhythms of the lens." ”
The simple, clumsy formula of narrative structure will always be the time-tested Hollywood theory.
The main thing is the internal rhythm and external rhythm of the shot, the external rhythm is the editing technique of the shot, and the internal rhythm involves the speed and strength of the characters' movements, the speed and direction of the camera movement, and the coordination of music, sound, color, light and shadow.
Chatting and chatting has turned into a lecture, and any qualified director student knows these professional knowledge, but how to use rigid things and use them well is a problem.
It's like a math test, you can memorize formulas by rote, but you just can't use them.
It wasn't until half past one in the afternoon that Tong Liya came to visit the class, and Li Qian stopped lecturing.
"Li Qian. ”
Tong Liya, dressed casually, trotted over, looked at Li Qian sweetly, and said hello to the others.
"Brother Bo, Uncle Zhang, and Huang guided. ”
Of course, her younger sister Su Lun is indispensable.
"Senior sister. Su Lun also said hello.
There are only so many people in Chinese opera, not to mention that the two of them are one level behind, and they can be regarded as acquaintances, but they are not familiar with each other.
"Su Lun, how are you in the crew, it's okay. ”
Su Lun hurriedly said, "It's good, Director Li took good care of me and taught me a lot of things." ”
"Yaya, you're about to graduate in a few days, why do you have time to come here?" asked Li Qian with a smile.
"I'll come if I want to, there's nothing to do after graduation, the company has taken on several plays, and I won't have time to rest soon, I'll take a look." Tong Liya said.
Li Qian called the coordinator, looked at the shooting plan, and shook his head, "There are still four shots left today, and it is estimated that it will be filmed until six o'clock in the evening, do you want to go to the hotel to rest?"
"No, I'll just watch from the sidelines. ”
Tong Liya smiled, revealing the little tiger teeth at the corners of her mouth, it was enough to look at Li Qian, it was better to sleep at home than to sleep in the hotel.
.....
In the afternoon, the intense shooting task continued.
"Scene 69, one shot at a time, start!"
Huang Bo, who described the withered as a knight, curled up in the corner, even if he was covered with sheets, he was constantly trembling.
Holding a photo of his wife and daughter in his hand, his eyes were full of longing, reluctance, and pain.
The wall next to it is also full of photos of their mother and daughter, and there are smiling faces drawn with ink pens.
Within a week, he would look at his wife and daughter here, drawing a smiling face.
So far, 156 smiling faces have been painted.
finally finished three years, thinking that I could usher in a happy life, but I didn't expect that three years later, I would be greeted by death.
Number 6 heard a cough and walked over, "Why are you still here, we have to start, if it's late, the 7th will wake up." ”
Number 5 shook his head incessantly.
Number 6 was puzzled, "What's wrong with you." ”
"I changed my mind and I'm not going back. ”
"I can't even walk now, and if I look at me now, she'll scare her when she sees me. ”
"What do you say, she's your daughter!"
Number 6 crouched in front of him and comforted, "No matter what you become, she won't care." ”
Number 5 still shook his head, "You can't kill, we can't kill." ”
"You won't, I know you won't, because I won't. ”
As he spoke, a smile appeared on his old and frail face, "You go back, Gao Bo, you are a good person, and this is also a good plan, but you chose the wrong person to go home." ”
Number 6 stood up, paced constantly, took two steps back, and leaned against the wall, "Are you sure you want to do this?"
"You should go back and travel, that's what I've always dreamed of. ”
"Go to Hawaii, go to Phuket, go to the Staples Center to see the Lakers play. ”
"Look around for me, try the world's food, I'm fed up with the space food at the base. ”
As he spoke, both of them laughed, and the smile was bitter and sad.
"Click, keep one!"
This scene is the highlight of the movie, and Li Qian still wants to shoot it a few more times.
Although it takes time, this kind of scene where the two are in the same frame, especially the physical contact, is too slow to shoot.
You have to shoot one first, the other with a stand-in, then the other, and the previous one with a stand-in.
For example, in the scene where No. 6's hand is on No. 5's shoulder, No. 5 will first shoot a shot of an arm on him, and No. 6 will just shoot a shot of reaching out.
If the contact is more intimate, then the post-production special effects will be troublesome.
The second time, Huang Bo's emotions in both roles were in place, and they even played better than the one just now.
"Keep one, do it again. ”
It wasn't until there was no room for improvement that Li Qian announced that the shot was complete.
Previously, No. 6 proposed a plan to sacrifice himself to let No. 5 go back, which is the glorious side of his humanity.
And No. 5 because of physical reasons, and regarded them and No. 7 as human beings, saying that he couldn't kill people, and that No. 6, who still had a good life, let him live a normal life on Earth.
Not only for No. 6, but also for himself, for the previous four clones, with their wishes, live well.
The same is the glorious side of human nature.
Although clones are not human, they also have the same emotions and even noble side as ordinary people.
.....
At half past six in the afternoon, the day's plan was successfully completed, and Li Qian got off work.
"Let's go, let's go eat first?"
Tong Liya pursed her mouth, "Don't go!"
"What's wrong?" Li Qian was confused, how could he be angry.
"You've been filming bed scenes before. ”
Tong Liya stared at Li Qian angrily, "I also helped Liu Tao choose more suitable underwear at a glance, and I haven't seen you buy underwear for me." ”
I'm special...
What bastard is talking nonsense!
Li Qian hurriedly said, "Who are you listening to nonsense, just let Sister Tao change into more suitable underwear, and the bed scene was filmed by Brother Bo, and it has nothing to do with me." ”
"You haven't picked out underwear for me, and I haven't seen you say it. ”
"What's there to say about this kind of thing, I just know a little bit about shooting more commercials. ”
Li Qian was helpless.
"Then let's go to the lingerie store for dinner. Tong Liya didn't give up.
"Okay, okay, go out and talk about it, the public says what you don't have underwear in, and you don't know how to be ashamed. ”
Buy it, put on a mask and a hat, no one can recognize it anyway, and it's not a big star.
Seeing Li Qian agree, Tong Liya immediately smiled, "What you said!"
"I said, I'll buy you a set of ten or eight, but you'll have to try it out for me in the evening. ”
"I'm going to die!"
Tong Liya's face flushed, panicked, and glanced back in a panic, and saw that no one was looking at them, so she relieved herself and pulled Li Qian's arm again.
"I'm not afraid of others hearing it, so I won't try it, and I'm not tired of changing it. ”
"Then I don't care, I'll pick it for you, you have to try to show me, or I'll be busy in vain. ”
"Not really. ”
"That's up to you, hehe!"
