Chapter 293: Don't Speak Human Words

Previous Chapter

"Cady, do you think Guido's character is complicated?"

"Or I'll ask you another way, if you think it's possible that there is a real Guido in the world. ”

This section is in the studio, Chu Shun has a one-person private chat with Cadi, and Cadi falls into deep thought in the face of the director's question.

"I think it's extremely unlikely. After a while, Kadi told the truth, and then explained his words: "Because if it were me, I was escorted into the back alley by the private at gunpoint, and I wanted to resist once anyway, and my son was out of sight at that time, and I also knew that the chance of success of the resistance was small, but it was difficult to understand how to give up resistance." ”

"In the end, Guido's generosity to death is shocking, the artistic effect and the plot conflict are at the top, but ......" Cady didn't finish his words, but the implication was obvious, he thought the plot arrangement was a bit deviant from human nature.

"It's true that a person like Guido can't really exist. Chu Shun first affirmed, and then changed his words and said: "But similar stories have definitely happened, and even many times." ”

Cardi didn't understand the meaning of the words, didn't say anything, and waited for the director's next sentence to explain.

"Israel is a Jewish state, but we all know that most Jews do not recognize Israel except for its own people. Chu Shun said: "And the fate of the Jews has always been in the state of death and oppression, so the Jews are used to being dominated and will not have too strong a sense of resistance." ”

There is a saying circulating on the Internet that "Life is Beautiful" is the story of director Bernini's own father, who went to a concentration camp.

The director is the little boy Joshua, and Guido is his father.

It sounds like a satisfying fit for many people's imaginations, but the reality is often not romantic, and this is nonsense, Bernini is Italian, not Jewish.

If you want to talk about the prototype of "Life is Beautiful", it has to be Rubino Salmoni, as a survivor of Auschwitz, in his later years wrote a book "In the End, I Killed Hitler", Bernini used this as inspiration and wrote the screenplay.

Chu Shun continued to analyze Guido and the Jews, and he thought that a big reason why Cadi had a bad feeling when he played Guido was that the actors themselves didn't understand.

"An actor must understand the logic of the character's behavior, of course, understanding is not the same as agreeing, and you will not be made to identify with the murderer when you play a serial murderer, as long as you understand why the murderer committed the crime, whether it is the beginning of the standard childhood parental domestic violence, or mental illness. The words in Chu Shun's mouth are a set of words.

Cardi is a typical American "old money", of course, he doesn't know about the Jews, and he listens carefully to what the director says.

Normally, Chu Shun and the actor talk alone, and they start from half an hour, but this time he analyzed the movie for Cardi, and he talked for about 70 minutes.

Robert's documentary is only about 100 minutes long, and it must be extracted from the essence, roughly showing Chu Shun's analysis method, and then sliding time.

Narrator: [After 76 minutes of character analysis by director Chu Shun, Cady, the actor of the protagonist Guido, has a clear understanding of the role and knows how to play it.] It is said that Director Chu Shun is very good at training the acting skills of actors, and now it seems that he is good at analyzing roles and scripts, and can maximize the potential of actors. ]

In order to have a contrasting effect, the performance of Cardi without Chu Shun's one-on-one chat and the performance after chatting with Chu Shun were played back and forth.

"Analyzing the roles and scripts for the actors, can really make the actors' performances go a long way?" said Jules, who had spoken to many Oscar-winning actresses.

An actor's interpretation of a role is composed of his own habits, personality, acting skills, and understanding, and cannot be changed by a single call.

This time, Mailer and Jules agreed on the same opinion: "According to the documentary, it is 70 minutes long, so for such a long time, people should be dizzy, and there will be progress?"

However, now that the facts are in front of us, Cardi's acting skills have indeed improved before and after the one-on-one chat.

Jules, who had been puzzled for a long time, finally found an acceptable reason for himself: "It should be said that Chu Shun knows the script too well, so he can convey the most important things to the actors." ”

"Beautiful Life" transitioned, and soon the academic bigwigs in the theater knew why Chu Shun's control over the crew was ridiculously strong.

When filming the plot of the concentration camp, more than 30 group performances were used, and if you think about it, you know that there are not many scenes in group performances.

In addition, the camera is not aimed at the past, and the audience will not pay attention, just get by.

But—

"This gentleman, the one who buried his head, is right talking about you, now you are in a concentration camp, the mood should be despair, what are you looking down and laughing at?" Chu Shun asked.

In fact, he didn't laugh anything, but this white crowd played the wife who lived next door was pregnant, and the son was still his, so he couldn't help laughing out loud when he thought about it.

The white man is also an old "Luo Piao", mixed in the Italian city of Rome, a bit similar to horizontal drifting, so knowing the rules of the group performance, is to make people's heads, stand in the back two rows and mix in the crowd, no one cares about you with any expression.

Today is really an exception, the white actor is also an old bastard, of course he knows that he can't talk back to the director, so he hurriedly apologized.

"Standing here, the queue can be neat, but not too neat. ”

"The walking dead's expression, that's right. ”

Chu Shun adjusted the position of the group performance, although there were not many more than 30 group performances, it still took more than ten minutes to adjust the position.

The academic bigwigs think about it, and they can think that Chu Shun is not full and has nothing to do, but there must still be a small number of ordinary viewers who will watch "With the Movie".

Therefore, Robert asked Lao Liang very intimately, and he asked: "Has Director Chu Shun always been like this? ”

Lao Liang said: "[Movies are the art of details], the first time I saw Director Chu filming "Kill Bill", I also made very detailed arrangements for the group performance, and I also asked similar questions to you at that time, and then Director Chu's answer was this sentence. ”

"It is not necessarily possible to understand Director Chu's intentions, but whether the concentration camp queues up neatly or not can express a certain picture language, just like now, after adjustment, the picture is more crowded, and the picture is depressing. Lao Liang also lived up to Robert's question and told why Chu Shun did this.

A very important part of the lens language is the picture composition, why do I feel that the pictures of many online dramas are a notch different from the pictures of the movies, because the picture composition is not exquisite.

"Is there a painting in Director Chu Shun's mind?" the editor-in-chief of "The Screen" asked from the soul.

"Filming hasn't even started yet, so how can he know exactly where the actors are standing?" Michelle whispered.

Looking at it with the eyes, it is completely different from shooting with a lens, so the adjustment is to fine-tune while shooting, but Chu Shun's order is diametrically opposite, adjust first and then shoot, basically no need to adjust again, it's outrageous.

"I don't think you can do this with pictures in your mind, unless you have thought about how to shoot the movie in your mind and have an accurate picture, I really can't explain it. The editor-in-chief of "The Screen" said.

As the editor-in-chief, I have seen a lot of bizarre theoretical submissions, but my imagination is still not enough to explain Chu Shun's actions.

There are a bunch of doubts in my heart, but now I can only hold back my heart, the documentary is still being screened, and now is the time to watch it.

The scenes of the concentration camp have become bigger for the skills of the postgraduate examination, because it is easy to "shoot small" the concentration camp, and Chu Shun also pays special attention to it when using the camera.

The crew will also encounter problems, the cute baby Agar is acting in her true colors, but there will also be problems, in Joshua is tired of being in the concentration camp, and wants to leave this scene, Xiao Mengwa's performance is never up to standard.

"Director Chu Shun is sorry. Phil, the father of the cute baby, apologized, but his emotions did not meet the filming requirements, and there was no way, the key was that Aigar was still too young.

"Mr. Phil, have you ever promised Agar to buy him a gift, but due to an accident or other reasons, it has not been fulfilled. Chu Shun asked suddenly.

The topic jumped too fast, and the cute baby's father didn't react for a while, Phil thought about it and nodded: "Agar wants to see Santa Claus, originally planned to dress up as Santa Claus, but then he didn't do it because of a lot of things." ”

"Very good, please trouble Mr. Phil for a while, you will ......" Chu Shun thought of a way, and then successfully got through this difficulty.

The narrator has a sense of presence from time to time, and also inserts an intentional clip, during the filming of "Beautiful Life", Chu Shun served as the chairman of the jury of the Locarno International Film Festival, so he left the crew for a few days.

is Lao Liang instead of shooting fragmentary reshoot shots, and the crew has no Chu Shun, it is completely like a group of dragons without a leader, and there is no difference in efficiency from ordinary crews.

This made the academic bigwigs who watched the efficient crew for more than an hour not get used to it for a while, and many people thought in their hearts why the efficiency was so low.

Later, he reacted, Lao Liang replaced this as the speed, and Chu Shun led a group one by one, which belonged to forcibly taking the flight.

"With the Movie" is playing here, it is almost over, and in the end, there is a separate interview with Chu Shun.

"Director Chu Shun, all your adjustments, whether it is the position, props or scenery, feel that they are formulated. Robert did ask the question that the academic bigwigs wanted to know the most.

He said: "If it weren't for me as a documentary director and actual shooting, I really think that Chu Shun directed your crew to act." ”

"This kind of formulation first, how did you do it, Director Chu Shun?"

The academic bigwigs in the theater are waiting intently for this answer, and of course, the media and the directors present are also curious.

Chu Shun replied, in a sense, it is equivalent to a martial arts cheat.

"Isn't it true that when the director starts shooting a film, he first thinks about everything he wants to shoot in his mind?" Chu Shun asked in surprise, and then said: "If I want to shoot a movie, I first have inspiration, and then if I have inspiration, there will be a script, camera movement, composition of the picture, and what kind of actors are needed." ”

"I guess I have all the information in my head. Chu Shun pointed to his brain.

Robert only made a voice in the documentary, not on camera, otherwise you can see that his expression is wonderful.

The expressions of all the people in the on-site theater can be roughly divided into three categories, mainly because of different identities.

The director's first reaction was that this guy was talking nonsense, and no one could say such a thing.

According to Chu Shun's standards, no one in the world can call himself a director.

The film critics present were contemplative, and Chu Shun's way was really to break the norm and sabotage many of the papers they published.

As for the reporter's reaction, it was shocked, there were too many elements, and there was news to report.

"So Director Chu Shun, do you have any expectations for yourself?" Robert asked the last question after a pause.

"I hope that people all over the world will see my films. Chu Shun also knew that this expectation was even more difficult to achieve than world peace.

As the big goal was said, the screening of "With the Movie" ended, Chu Shun's guilty face also disappeared from the screen, and the audience didn't have to watch him pretend, and the theater lights came on.

When there is light, you can also see the expressions of the audience.

"Hmm? Why isn't there a post-production of the film? ”

"I remember correctly, the film soundtrack, original music and editing are also directed by Chu Shun himself, and the documentary should be talented. ”

"Cut, or?"

"This documentary is too short. ”

One thing to say, although "With the Movie" has no ups and downs in the plot, nor does it have any picture beauty, Chu Shun has a kind of momentum to move forward in filming, and there are always people to guide the way, and when encountering difficulties, he will think of a way to cross over in an instant, which is smoother than Dove and more supple than Head & Shoulders.

Chu Shun gave Robert a look, and the latter immediately understood, he stood on the stage again, and said, "With the end of the screening of "With Movie 1", welcome gentlemen. ”

"Regarding director Chu Shun, editing, soundtrack and other post-production, I also watched the first part, which contains too much content, so the post-production content will appear in "With the Movie 2", so stay tuned. ”

After Robert finished speaking, Douggen immediately invited him down, and he was also worried that he would not finish talking.

Robert's explanation was accepted by everyone, and after watching this documentary, even if there was no post-production content of the film, it was completely sufficient, and the way the puppet was filmed was finally clearly appeared in front of everyone!

The sense of impact is not less at all.
