After filming "Extreme Man" [Prank Han Jue Special], Han Jue was unhappy, but as their general manager Wang Zhi insisted on, "The right or wrong of things is not important, what matters is what you can learn from this incident", Han Jue later had a review and discussion when he played mahjong with his friends - why do people like to watch this kind of prank video?

"What else can I do, a sense of superiority. Watching the people on the screen walk step by step towards the arranged trap, standing from God's point of view, the onlookers spontaneously have a sense of superiority from the outside. Xia Yuan said.

"It's not impossible to say it's observation, but it's okay to change it to voyeurism, and the production of this kind of theme is actually aimed at the weakness of human nature," Pei Qing said, "This society is either voyeurism or exhibitionism." ”

"Because it's funny. Jarens' answer was as simple as his mind.

After Han Jue and Weng Nanxi's old love was exposed, the [Prank] video was the latest and only public face-to-face meeting between Han Jue and Weng Nanxi.

When the photos of the predecessor and Weng Nanxi's trip were dug up on the Internet, Han Jue looked at the carnival network and was really annoyed.

Since there is a large group of melon-eating netizens and Internet mobs on the other side, as long as Han Jue says anything other than apology, no matter what, it will only make the incident worse. Han Jue was already at a loss and couldn't be willful, but he really couldn't eat this stuffy pot, so he found another way.

The way he thought of it was to make a movie.

If the creation of "Internet Lost" is to express the pervasive erosion of people's lives by the Internet, online violence, false online interpersonal relationships, and the fact that everyone in the world is connected extremely closely because of the Internet, the communication barriers between people have deepened.

Then the appearance of "Dark Web" is purely because Han Jue wants to scare people and tell everyone, "Your life may also be watched." By the way, I use movies to express the two sides of scientific and technological development, which is convenient for life and amplifies the evil in human nature.

The former makes people reflect, and the latter makes people afraid.

"I'm going to scare them out and make them money. Han Jue said.

Although the creative inspiration of "Dark Web" is very helpless, Han Jue was not allowed to say this to the media, and the exploration of the issues discussed in the film is not profound, and it is a real commercial film. But after Gu Yu read the script and listened to Han Jue's description of the way the movie was presented, he made a decision in an instant, ready to use all the acting skills he had honed in two years, win the role of the leading actor, and join the project. Because he understands that the good movie that he has patiently waited for two years is right in front of him.

There are two types of good movies. One is to make longitudinal, connotative, stylish and expressive films, represented by literary films. The other is horizontal, broadening the artistic expression of film, represented by experimental avant-garde films.

In the history of the development of film, the creation of two methods, "rich scene scheduling in a single shot" and "forming a whole with a common direction through montage editing", has made film truly an art form that can take on complex narratives and express profound ideas.

And Han Jue's new works and new narrative methods will have an impact on the traditional film form, and there are two at once.

Han Jue called it a "tabletop movie".

The scene scheduling of [Desktop Movie] tests the ability of "web design" in the later stage.

The editing of the [Desktop Movie] will be replaced by the method of [Window Switching], so that the audience will not even realize the existence of the clip during the viewing process.

The cursor is like a hand that controls the viewer's attention.

On the screen, images, pictures and text can be presented at the same time, and all the information can be seen at a glance on the desktop, so that the audience can discover it on their own instead of passively receiving it.

The psychological activities of the protagonist can be displayed in front of the audience through [typing out the text] and [deleting the text]. ......

There are too many things that are different from traditional movies, which makes Gu Yu both excited and a little apprehensive at the same time.

Will the market accept such a pioneering film genre? Will the audience pay for it? Will the critics criticize this kind of "no cinematic" film?

"Twenty-seventh second pass, three, two, one...... Let's go!" snapped the clapperboard and took it away, revealing Gu Yu's face facing the computer screen.

The fluorescent glow from the computer screen reflected off Gu Yu's almost faceless face, reflecting the wavering eyes and struggling expressions on his face. Gu Yu scratched his hair anxiously, shook his head subconsciously, and then said several times in a row, from light to heavy, from slow to urgent: "No, no, no......"

Gu Yu finally blurted out and shouted, "No! because I lied to you!"

After Gu Yu finished speaking, his expression relaxed, and he was stunned.

There was silence on the set.

Gu Yu just looked at the screen silently, gasping for breath, and after a few seconds, he pursed his lips and pretended to smile lightly: "Really, this is actually just a prank, I made it all up...... Kate, your expression was so hilarious. Applejack, you're confused, aren't you? haha......"

"Okay," Han Jue's voice appeared in Gu Yu's headphones, "This has passed." ”

Gu Yu breathed a sigh of relief and lay back on the back of his chair.

After another scene, Gu Yu was almost familiar with the way the movie was filmed at this time.

[Camera] exited and hidden, Han Jue really used the lens in front of the computer to shoot - the resolution requirement does not need to be very high, in this kind of [desktop movie], the picture is too clear but it is a minus. Gu Yu is mostly acting in front of a screen, and there are basically no actors playing against each other, and the other actors are locked in other rooms to prepare their own parts. Everyone's progress is different, and Gu Yu's filming progress is the fastest.

There was no burst of inspiration, no acting skills, and some just left earphones sounded Xiao Zhou's voice reading lines and matching the play: "We should call the police...... Grab the computer and let's go to the police, I have a friend who is a police officer......"

Gu Yu listened to the voice and imagined the rivalry.

The earphone on the right sounded Han Jue's indicator: "Now look at the lower left corner of the screen, Ajie's position...... Right, and now an infotip pops up in the bottom right corner, take a glance at ......"

The eyes must be accurately positioned, or they will have to do it all over again.

Acting in front of a shiny screen requires the actor to use more imagination, listen to instructions, and walk between entering and exiting the play, which is not easy. There are many close-up shots, and the slightest flaw and distraction will provoke Han Jue's shouting to stop.

Although Gu Yu is not from the academy, he has also been trained in non-physical performance, and has two years of drama experience, and quickly adapted to the shooting method of "Dark Web", which is completely different from other movies. But other actors, especially those who are not from professional backgrounds, are particularly painful.

After seven days, from the initial high morale to the present, some actors have been shaken in their hearts.

For example, Millie.

Millie, who watched Gu Yu's performance, frowned slightly at the moment, worried.

As the filming progressed, her confidence in the film was declining little by little.

Millie was stuffed in for her by the company, without an interview, in order not to be treated differently in the crew, she made a lot of preparations in advance, ready to fight against the water. She has watched Han Jue's "Time and Space Love Traveler", so she is very confident in Han Jue and feels that this turnaround battle can be fought. But when she arrived at the filming site, she found that most of her previous experience was not used, and she didn't even have anyone to play the opposite role.

When acting, listening to Han Jue saying "he's waving", "looking to the right", "sign language is over" and other prompts outside the venue, it was difficult for the performance to continue, and Han Jue was called to stop again and again. At first, she was afraid that Han Jue would get angry, but Han Jue didn't scold anything, but in the process of repeating it over and over again, the prompt words became more and more simplified. She quietly asked the crew and found that the other actors were also very difficult.

There are no similar works, no success stories, it's completely experimental film, Millie thought to herself: [Can this movie really work?]

"It's going to be a good place. Xiao Zhou's index finger flicked the shooting watch and seemed to be very satisfied.

Millie turned her head to look at Xiao Zhou, hesitated for a moment, and whispered, "Xiao Zhou." ”

Millie knows Xiao Zhou.

In addition to being the assistant director of the crew, Xiao Zhou is also an actor.

According to convention, he wants to fight for the role of a killer, but "Dark Web" has no killer, only a role close to the killer, Xiao Zhou made a cameo appearance as an executor of the plan with his own mosaic effect in front of the camera, both in terms of scenes and ideals, it is one step closer. After getting the role, Xiao Zhou wore a black sweatshirt and hood all day long, and his smile was very perverted, saying that he was preparing for the role. It's a pity that because he was too perverted, Han Jue completed his role ahead of schedule, and didn't care about Xiao Zhou's rhetoric that he wanted to play with Gu Yu.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Zhou raised his hood and wondered.

Millie bit her lower lip and was organizing the language, and Xiao Zhou was not in a hurry, just looked at her.

Millie's face is exquisite, even among similar and fragile female stars, Millie's face is recognizable.

After organizing the language for a while, Millie asked, "Did you spend time on another crew?"

She heard that another "Internet Lost" made by [Tinder] is also a [tabletop movie]. I really don't know where I got the confidence to do two experimental movies in a row.

"Yes. Xiao Zhou replied.

"Is that the same thing over there? Acting on the screen?"

"Yes," Xiao Zhou nodded.

"How long did it take?"

"Twenty days. ”

Director Sun was very slow when he filmed "Internet Lost", and the actors were very unfamiliar with the way of filming, Director Sun was a director for the first time, focusing on stability, when the male and female protagonists played rival scenes, one was acting, and the other was playing lines in the headphones. I also discussed the plot with Jack Jennifer every day, and the material was very well prepared. Fortunately, the production cost is small, and the company is not short of this pocket money, so Director Sun will shoot a little more carefully and more. In Xiao Zhou's opinion, the filming content that could have been completed in ten days took twenty days.

Millie nodded, and asked, "How long will the clip take?"

"Two years. ”

"Oh......" Millie nodded, and the next second, her eyes widened suddenly, looking at Xiao Zhou, "Huh?!How long has it been?"

"Two years," Xiao Zhou said, "At that time, after Director Sun finished filming, the boss told Director Sun to give him two years to cut out the movie......"

Millie hurriedly asked Xiao Zhou, "Then how long are we going to shoot here?"

"A month. Xiao Zhou touched his chin and seemed to realize something, "Filming takes twenty days, editing takes two years, and shooting for thirty days ......"

Millie smiled and said, "That's it." ”
