Chapter 687: The Little King Who Got Out
"Woo woo, it's not me...... It's not me!"
"Then can you please explain why your notes are so similar to the old ghost's?"
"Why?"
"Someone is trying to frame me! Yes, sure!"
Wang Zhiwen smiled evilly, made a look, and untied the belt tied to Wang Kai's hands and feet, and walked to the execution room inside.
"Ahhh
Wang Kai screamed miserably.
Cai Chonghui held the camera and followed the shooting.
Uncle Gao Qun stared at the screen of the monitor, Lao Wang's performance was impeccable. Xiao Wang can see that he is very hard-working, and his expression is also in place, but he always feels that the gap between the two is a bit big. As for the one who sat under the dim desk lamp with a gloomy face and acted as a human background, just one expression even had a bit of a scene-stealing taste.
"Cards!"
Lao Gao had to shout to stop again, shook his head and said, "Xiao Wang, the strength is still not enough, rest for a while, and come again!"
"I'm sorry, Director!"
King Kaikai had a good attitude, but the expression on his face was inevitably a little depressed, and at the same time a little dazed. The highlight of this scene for him, he has been preparing since last night, and even in order to reach the haggard state of the character, he hasn't slept all night, and all kinds of psychological construction have basically reached the limit, but the director is still not satisfied.
In contrast, he is particularly envious of Mr. Wang Zhiwen's weighty performance, which often expresses the character's psychological activities clearly through the change of the tone of the lines and an expression.
Alas, it's still not enough!
Wang Kai sighed secretly, and apologized to Wang Zhiwen: "I'm sorry, Mr. Wang, it's hard work." β
Lao Wang is responsible for teaching lines in Chinese opera, Wang Kai's lines are good, and he is hard-working during the cooperation, Lao Wang has a good impression of this student. He lit a cigarette and nodded at Wang Kai and encouraged: "It's okay, in fact, your performance just now was quite good, no more Nunu!"
"Got it, Mr. Wang. β
That being said, Wang Kai was still a little overwhelmed.
Lao Wang glanced at him sympathetically, and he really couldn't help him guide him. The actor's starting point for understanding the role is different, and from the teacher's point of view, he doesn't want to intervene rashly, only by understanding and expressing it by himself can he improve his acting skills.
Lao Wang leisurely went through his addiction to smoking. Xiao Wang is still thinking hard. Zhang Zhang walked over as usual to help the director fill up the thermos cup, except for the actor, he was more like Lao Gao's assistant. He Xin, who was a human flesh set, also stood up at this time, he showed Takeda's cold and gloomy state, and kept sitting there fiddling with the cigarette roll in his hand, looking thoughtful, he didn't look up at Xiao Wang and Lao Wang's performance just now, but the conversation between the two and Wang Kai's mournful wail from his ears felt like it was not bad.
Hearing Lao Gao shouting to stop again, he was still a little puzzled, and then he saw Lao Gao frowning and looking at the playback in the monitor, so he walked over: "What's wrong?"
"I don't have enough strength, and I feel like something is missing. Lao Gao scratched his head and said.
When he saw Wang Kai also coming over, it was not good to say that Xiao Wang's performance was not good.
He Xin was also watching the replay on the monitor, and at the beginning, the conversation between the two was a close-up shot from each other's point of view, and there was no obvious wrongdoing. Generally speaking, to avoid the actor's lack of acting skills, it is either a close-up or a long shot, and avoid being in the same frame as other actors, as the saying goes, there is no harm if there is no comparison.
Of course, it's not that Wang Kai's acting skills are not good, Comrade Xiao Wang is already working very hard, but there is naturally a big gap with Wang Zhiwen's natural nature, which is directly manifested in the fact that when the two dragons dragged Wang Kai into the execution room in the middle of the room with one arm in the middle, the medium shot long shot flashed Wang Zhiwen with a smiling face, and he sat there with his head bowed as a human flesh set, and the performance traces on Wang Kai's body were set off, and the picture was inevitably unbalanced.
"Tsk!" He Xin couldn't help but smash his mouth.
"Brother Xin, how do you think my side can improve?" Wang Kai hurriedly asked when he saw this.
"Uh......"
He Xin couldn't say it for a while, in the final analysis, it was Wang Kai's skill that was not enough, which made the picture unbalanced, as Lao Gao said, the strength was not enough, and the visual impact was lacking.
"Xiaohe, give!"
At this time, Zhang Li next to him handed over a cigarette, and at the same time He Xin took it, when he looked up and saw the vicious and paralyzed face, he suddenly remembered that this shot in the original version seemed to be after Wang Zhiwen made a look, and then Zhang Zhang grabbed Bai Xiaonian's hair and dragged him in.
The acting skills are not enough, and external forces will make up for it.
This move of tension undoubtedly greatly amplifies the visual impact, of course, Su Youpeng's performance in the original version is also very good, and the visual impact is full.
"Otherwise, Brother Li, you can try directly by Akai's hair for a while. β
"Pick up his hair, how?"
Zhang Li looked at Wang Kai's greasy hair hanging on his head inexplicably.
"That's it, you grab your hair and drag people straight in. He Xin gestured.
Sizzle!
Seeing this, Wang Kai suddenly felt his scalp tingle.
Zhang Zhang was also stunned for a moment, and said, "How painful it is!"
As he spoke, he looked at Wang Kai's oily head again, and looked embarrassed: "This...... Can Xiao Wang stand it?"
As a result, Wang Kai really grabbed his hair and pulled it up hard, gritted his teeth and said, "It's okay, I can stand it." β
Uncle Gao Qun is not a director from a professional class, and he is not good at training actors, but when he saw He Xin taking the initiative to support him, he was so happy to sit aside and not squeak.
Zhang Zhang is still entangled, don't look at his fierce face, he is an introverted and very soft person in private.
Hesitantly: "Don't be careless, pull your hair." β
"It's okay, Brother Li, it's really okay, you just have to come, I can bear it. Wang Kai said busily.
King Kai Kai also let go, and he also realized that his performance just now was a bit of a performance, and through the stimulation of external forces, he might be more realistic.
"What's wrong?"
At this time, Lao Wang finished his cigarette addiction and walked in just in time to hear everyone arguing.
"Oh, that's how Mr. Wang ......," Wang Kai said the idea He Xin had given.
When Wang Zhi heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said, "I think it's okay!"
As he spoke, he nodded approvingly at He Xin, and said with a smile: "It seems that Teacher He is not called in vain." β
It was only at this time that Uncle Gao Qun poked his head out from behind the monitor and said, "Then try it first?"
"Don't try, let's come directly!" Wang Zhiwen waved his hand, "Strive for one, Xiao Wang will suffer less." β
"Well, I'll definitely try. King Kai Kai finally rekindled his confidence.
"Hey, tension, the movement is crisp and neat for a while. Lao Gao instructed again.
"Understood!"
"Okay, everyone, get ready!"
βActionοΌβ
"Woo woo, it's not me...... It's not me!"
"Then can you please explain why your notes are so similar to the old ghost's?"
"Why?"
"Someone is trying to frame me! Yes, sure!"
Wang Zhiwen smiled evilly, made a look, and the dragon set next to him quickly untied the belt, and Zhang Li, who had been standing next to him, didn't say a word, he directly grabbed Wang Kai's hair, and pulled the other party's body off the wooden board with all his strength.
Sizzle!
When the tension grabbed his hair and pulled hard, Wang Kai suddenly felt a sharp pain in his scalp, as if his scalp was about to be separated from his head, and subconsciously opened his mouth and screamed.
"Ahhh
At the same time, the whole face becomes distorted. The voice is no longer the feminine voice that was deliberately suppressed before, but the real voice of oneself, which is more sharp and harsh.
Zhang Li could feel the change in Wang Kai's voice, but he was also experienced now, and he knew that he couldn't stop at this time, and there could be no fluctuations, so he simply quickened his pace and dragged Wang Kai, who was constantly wailing, all the way inside......
"Ka!
Lao Gao shouted excitedly.
As soon as he heard the director shouting to stop, Zhang Li hurriedly helped Wang Kai, who was thrown under the nail chair, and said with concern: "Xiao Wang, are you okay?"
Wang Kai raised his hand to touch his scalp, which was already numb, and reached out to the light to take a photo, but fortunately, he didn't see red blood, and grinned reluctantly: "It's okay, Brother Li!"
"It's over, it's over, it's over!"
Hearing that the director had shouted over there, Wang Kai finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Lao Gao then asked with concern through the door: "Xiao Wang, is it no problem?"
"No problem, Director!"
"Okay, then let's keep up the good work and prepare for the next shot. β
The next shot is to shoot Wang Kai being stripped of his pants, lifted up and sitting on the nail board, up and down.
He Xin, who had just finished the matter, was a little hesitant, he didn't see this plot in the original version, at most, in Bai Xiaonian's wail, he gave a close-up of the thickest and longest on the nail chair that was being sharpened with a file.
"Hey, Brother Gao, do you think this kind of shot can pass the trial?"
The smile on Lao Gao's face, who was still happy, suddenly froze, and he groaned, and said in a very uncertain tone: "It shouldn't be a big problem, right?"
But then he went on to say: "The torture scene must be bloody and cruel, if this is also a problem, then the following scene will not be filmed at all." β
He Xin thought about it, he didn't know if there was any of the scenes in the original version, whether they were deleted in the finished film. Think about the next few torture scenes, each one is more bloody than the other, let the dog devour, prick the hole with a needle, think about it and feel bloody and terrifying, not to mention the measurement and grinding rope, the scale is even bigger than the current one.
......
The next day, a strong cold air from the north moved south, and the temperature dropped to freezing all of a sudden. When He Xin went out for a run early in the morning, he felt a noticeable chill.
According to the filming plan, today was originally going to shoot the scene where He Xin measured Li Bailian, but because Li Bailian had temporary activities, Li Xue specially rushed over from the capital to help take a day off. The shooting plan could only be adjusted temporarily, for which Lao Gao still complained a lot, and he also brought his temper directly to the set.
A few Hong Kong people don't care, but the gang under the old master is nervous. We all know that Lao Gao has a bad temper, and if he doesn't like it, he will open his mouth to scold people.
The scene was busy all morning, and the walls around the corridor outside the interrogation room had been painted with wooden frames and plasterboard. But Lao Gao was not satisfied, and in order to achieve the most realistic shooting effect, the staff was nervously using cement to create uneven effects on the walls.
In addition to the props and arrangement, the group performances and live producers on the side are also busy. The on-site producers are checking over and over again the costumes and makeup of the ensemble performers who play the puppet soldiers.
"You, you, and you, what's the matter? β
There were several group performances with military uniform necklines, revealing underwear that did not fit the background of the times, and the on-site producer immediately ordered them to take them off. Although the weather is very cold, there is no way, in case of goofing, the on-site producer who is in charge of this work will definitely be scolded again.
In addition to removing everything that does not fit the background of the times, makeup artists are also busy nervously. The soldiers of that era were generally darker and looked dirty, such as adjusting the skin tone, having to apply foundation to the base of the neck, and making a scar-like effect on the face, and even more, because the hairstyle of a certain group performance did not conform to the background of the times, they were directly shaved by the hairstylist on the spot.
In the interrogation room inside, He Xinzheng and Lao Gao were sitting in a small room that was temporarily separated, with an electric heater plugged in, plus the heat released by the machine, it was warm.
At this time, the two were staring at the screen of the monitor, scribbling with their fingers on the screen from time to time, discussing the lighting ratio and camera settings on the scene.
As the saying goes: If you are familiar with 300 Tang poems, you will be able to chant them if you can't do them. After so many years of immersion on the set, He Xin has long since changed from a rookie to an old bird, and he also has a lot of experience in scene lighting and composition.
It's no wonder that so many actors in later generations have transformed into directors. Of course, the only technical issues discussed by He Xin and Lao Gao at this time are far from the director! In addition to understanding these technical things, the director must understand these technical things, and more importantly, it is reflected in the aesthetics, temperament, style, and so on in the whole movie. Besides, he has no ambition in this area, and is more of a staff officer to help Lao Gao.
"How's it going, almost?"
The gaffer led a group of apprentices who were very busy. Because Lao Gao's requirements for lighting are particularly high. The interrogation room was enclosed, with cool lighting effects, while the faces of the focused characters were warm, and the surrounding scenes were blacked out to create an eerie atmosphere.
"Well, almost. Lao Gao stared at the lighting effects in the picture, finally nodded, and then looked up and asked, "Have the recording effects been debugged?"
"Alright!" replied the recorder with a long microphone.
The filming scene outside the interrogation room was set up, with an old bench in the middle, filled with ice on all sides, and a wooden bench on each side.
It was cold and there was no heating in the shed. When He Xin came out of the warm cubicle, he couldn't help but shiver. Outside, the three actors had already put on their makeup and were waiting outside in thick down jackets.
"Akai, it's been a hard day. β
Wang Kai, who was "humiliated" yesterday, is just a human flesh set today, and after a while he has to wear a shirt and vest, lie on the long table, surrounded by ice cubes, and pretend to be dead. He couldn't move the whole scene, which was really bearable in such cold weather.
"It's okay, it's okay. Wang Kaile said.
Yesterday's major scene was filmed very smoothly, and the guy was full of confidence for a while.
Hu Jun sat there with his eyes closed and his head up, probably in silence, when he heard He Xin's fake greeting to Wang Kai, he opened his eyes and glanced over there, and couldn't help pouting. Once upon a time, he also used this tone to cheer up the fledgling on the set, but in the end, this guy won the Golden Horse actor.
After many years, as long as he thinks of this, Hu Jun still can't help but feel tightness in his chest.
He Xin didn't bother to pay attention to him, and walked straight to his girlfriend sitting opposite: "How is it, no problem, right?"
