Chapter 797: Very Sensual
"If it's just a concept, Mr. Wu, how can you be sure that the photographer can shoot what you want?" Billy Crystal asked.
According to the requirements of the set conversation script, how can he embody Wu Yusen Niu Break how to ask.
Wu Yusen shook his head and said: "Of course I can't be sure, this requires a tacit understanding.
I said to find a French-style house, this French-style house, with a floor-to-ceiling window, I have a special picture, I want this camera to move outside the window one frame by one movement, the first frame I see the killer over there, the second frame moves over, it is a figure, the detective is over there, the same posture, the same expression, and when the camera continues to the third window, it changes back to the killer, the same movement and the same expression...........
The guy we chose didn't understand what I meant, and he said, "Where can I find a French-style house in Hong Kong?" I said that I only need one window for this house, and I want a very long window.
But no one understood, and then I went to look for the view, and then I found an old mansion with windows like that. Then the photographer didn't understand, why did he shoot like this, it was a little more painful at that time, I signed a contract with the photographer, signed for 45 days, he ran away after 45 days, and then I begged him, my scene is only halfway through the shooting, I want to unify the style, because he shoots, I can't understand what I mean.
So after he left, we changed to another photographer, so there were two photographers, and I used the photographer from "True Colors of Heroes" to continue shooting. As for the actors, they probably know the story of a killer, a policeman and a singer. Because we were talking about the dialogue on the spot, they played it very carefully. “
At this time, Billy Crystal asked curiously: "Director Wu, how do you cooperate with actors? In Hong Kong, directors have so much power, is it that if the actors don't play well, the directors will get angry and curse."
Wu Yusen shook his head again and again and said with a smile: "How come, I'm not that kind of director.The way I interact with actors is like this, I don't teach drama, I don't talk much about drama, when I shoot every actor, I first have a certain understanding of her, I understand her advantages, her shortcomings, her beauty, her unbeauty, the tone of her speech, the way she speaks, I know better."
On the other hand, when I was thinking about the script, I had already seen a performance, I went to the scene, I was like painting, I wanted to have new inspiration, because those actors, since I got to know her, so when I came to the live performance, it was really what I imagined, whether she bowed her head, or walked two steps, or looked at the window, or what, or sigh, and really I imagined it.
I often encourage the actor, can you give me another way, or can you put her experience, the experience she has had, into this scene, I will ask her to change the dialogue, I can ask her to add dialogue.
For example, there is a scene, Zhou Yunfa was betrayed by his good friend, he held a gun at him, when filming that scene, there was no script at all, I said that you are very sad in this scene, because you believe in a friend for more than ten years, he betrayed you, in your life, have you been betrayed by a friend, what did you feel at that time, what did you tell him at that time, and forgot that we made a killer film.
So I didn't shoot "The True Color of Heroes" about the underworld, I don't have such a deep understanding of the underworld, I was filming a person's story, so when I filmed him, I said that when he first entered the industry, he made money to help a friend pay all his wages, but later, this friend stabbed him and betrayed him, and he was very sad.
I said that you regarded Zhu Jiang as your friend back then, what you said at that time, you talked about the dialogue, some of them were what he used to say, did you forgive him in the end? In the end, he completely forgave that friend, he knew that this was the case in this line, so he originally wanted to kill Zhu Jiang later, but then he put down the gun, and the tears flowed, and the tears flowed naturally, and I didn't ask for tears, he flowed down, and I worked with the actor in this way. “
"I would like to ask, are you going to use this way in Hollywood, Mr. Wu?" Billy Crystal is a comical one, and asked at the right time.
"Yes, I'm coming to Hollywood to shoot in this way. I'm not very fluent in English, but I would encourage the actors to do so in this way, and I'm sure the Hollywood actors will give me the performance I want.
I know that in Hollywood, no matter how big a star is, there are restrictions: first, you can't change the script, and second, you can't add dialogue on the spot, because any change will affect the production budget and the company's ability to control.
But I'll let them change it.
For example, in some Hollywood action movies, the hero can't shed tears, and he can't cry in front of the camera.
But in my films, heroes can shed tears. There is an old Chinese saying that men don't flick when they have tears, but they don't get to the sad place.
In the plot of a movie, many times it is far better to have the hero cry and tell the dialogue in a particular situation than it is to keep their neck from tears."
"I can see that Mr. Wu, you are a very emotional person." Billy Crystal laughed.
"Yes, I'm very emotional, so my films tend to be emotional, and I always like to go with my feelings.
When I shoot action scenes, when I shoot action scenes, I personally control them, and I design the actions myself. I don't know martial arts, I haven't shot a gun, I don't know how to drive, but all the action scenes, even how the actors hold guns, are all designed by myself.
I'm not like other movies, when other movies come to action scenes, they are handed over to the action director, and the action director is a unique position in Hong Kong, which is a professional who designs and shoots action scenes.
I don't want to hand over the action scenes to the action director because the action director, he goes to the shots, he shoots, he cuts, he shoots how he likes, and it becomes two or three different styles of film.
That's not going to work, I want a uniform style. Because I don't know how to move, when I design the movements, I use the principles of song and dance films to shoot action scenes, and the focus of the film, so that the shots will be very poetic, very beautiful, and very romantic."
"Indeed, I have watched the disc of the bloody heroes, and it is indeed as Mr. Wu said, it is very beautiful and romantic." Billy Crystal nodded: "Then Director Wu, I have a question for you."
