Chapter 420: I Am

Gan Jing's simple focus on performance is equivalent to adding a buff to himself, but making movies is a barrel principle, unless it is a one-man show, otherwise all the actors have to have a pretty good level.

The director can balance the performances of different actors through shots, montages, and close-up long shots, so that they can appear in the picture as perfectly as possible, but the one with the trophy is one more big treasure than the one who is only nominated, and this substantial difference is not unknown because of Gan Jing's few words.

As the progress progressed, Lin Shu, the second male lead, played with the leading actor Gan Jing, once NG, twice NG, three times or four times, which made no one gossip poke the backbone.

Even if the crew members don't gossip, they have to gossip because they don't have much fun in the desolate filming location.

"No wonder Lin Shu has been tepid for so long since his debut, it turns out that his business level is not up to par. ”

"Compared with Blu-ray's "Kung Fu" last time, Xinyu's "Great Sage" was a failure, what is the reason? Xinyu is looking for some ambitious and talented people, what Zhao Han, what Han Weiwei, Blu-ray? Of course, the Fire Cloud Evil God is not bad, hehe, it's really funny!"

"Gan Jing and Lin Shu said how to act, Lin Shu still put on a senior shelf, a villain's scene was stunned because he hadn't acted for three days, but the director changed the role, how embarrassed was he?"

The gossip in the crew did not escape the ears of the two parties, Lin Shu was in a very bad mood, and Gan Jing warned the two assistants not to tell themselves the messy, useless, and obvious facts.

The temperature of Jingtai in December is very low, the progress of film shooting is quite slow, and the director Xie Jiang is a freewheeling master, sometimes he feels that the color of the frozen soil is not good, sometimes he feels that he needs to wait for a snow scene, in short, everything is according to the director's words.

Gan Jing didn't care about this, aside from some conceptual differences, he still appreciated Xie Jiang's use of lenses and color matching, this is a stubborn and informative director.

In addition, half a month after Gan Jing joined the crew, he got closer to screenwriter Zhao Danlun.

There are several versions of the script of "The Outlaw of the West", and Zhao Danlun, as the main screenwriter, is constantly changing the story with director Xie Jiang, trying to express a better western with a local flavor.

This effort can be said to be half the success, the script at the time of the project review was required to be deleted, the general main line was maintained, and the branch lines and characters had to be reconsidered.

In the original script submitted for review, the protagonist broke the collusion between the police and bandits, and now in the script, the protagonist's more dramatic mischange of packages leads to a series of subsequent events.

According to director Xie Jiang's requirements, the script must be both in-depth and commercial, which naturally tests the screenwriter Zhao Dianlun's mind, and therefore keeps the script in a state of waiting for completion.

Xie Jiang is not in a hurry about the script, in his opinion, there is nothing to write while shooting, but it is better.

But Zhao Dianlun was extremely awkward, and he couldn't wait to write the whole script story in the next second, it just so happened that the leading actor Gan Jing was interested in the process before and after the script, and the two quickly became acquainted after chatting back and forth.

Filming on the set is relatively boring, and acting needs the same friends in many cases, like Zhang Zhonghui, like Lu Wei, and even Ma Hammer and Li Zaoyu, everyone happily chats and teaches, time flies relatively quickly, and now the director Xie Jiang is more stubborn, and there is a black-faced Lin Shu on the set from time to time, and Gan Jing can only talk about the plot of the script after filming.

The main line of this story is revenge and collision, and it does not get out of the trap of Westerns, but the reason why this kind of main line is used a lot is because it is indeed accepted by the market and is exceptionally easy to use.

The protagonist travels into the northwest by car, borrowing a house all the way, experiencing a different style, he encountered sand and dust when he passed through the desert section and got lost fortunately rescued by the locals, but, the man who went out of this family was a dumping gun, and the package loaded with the car happened to be the same, and then, the tanuki mistakenly changed the prince, and the gunman chased all the way to another resident who borrowed after the protagonist left, and he didn't do anything...... The story unfolds further.

Among them, the local woman who saved the protagonist at the beginning showed the good first, and then the evil, and the second local was cold first and then hot, especially the former's attitude of actively changing after knowing that the protagonist took her husband's things is Zhao Danlun's writing according to the director's requirements.

What's more, the artistic perspective, the collision of law and morality in the wilderness, the change of thinking before and after the protagonist, and the similarities and differences between modern society and life in the Northwest have all been added to the story by the screenwriter.

Gan Jing found the communication with Zhao Dunlun quite interesting, and the slightly heavy theme did not prevent the audience from bringing contrasting settings that could cause the audience to laugh, such as the swapped package being swapped by the captive horse while drying, such as the stealth joke that the protagonist is determined to take revenge with the same violent means......

Zhao Danlun wants to write "The Outlaw in the West" as a story with black humor, which depends on the final box office market whether it succeeds or not, but Gan Jing feels that his skills are still in place.

In late December, Gan Jing gradually got used to the role of a simple actor, and suddenly felt that it was actually good not to have to work hard, filming during the day, chatting with his daughter at night, and listening to Xia Yan talk about the process of filming "Infernal Affairs 2" in Hong Kong from time to time, and occasionally caring about the company's situation.

A few days later, Gan Jing and his two assistants left the crew to go to Shencheng to participate in the film festival - this was an agreed departure before joining the group, and the Shencheng International Film Festival announced the nomination for "Infernal Affairs" long before Xie Jiang found him.

If nothing else, this film from last year's National Day file can continue to win awards at the film festival.

It's just that just as Gan Jing was holding a bottle of trophies smoothly, a phone call from the producer of the crew came directly to report bad news.

"Mr. Gan, you take care of things and come back as soon as possible, Director Xie is sick!"

"He personally said that you should be the director to film "The Outlaw". ”

Gan Jing was taken aback: "What's wrong with Director Xie?"

Producer Shang Xiangfei said: "Cerebral hemorrhage, fortunately, I was sent to the hospital in time, I heard from the doctor that the operation was very good, but the follow-up must be recuperated for a long time, our crew can't just put it like this, Director Xie means let you pick up this burden." ”

"This ......" Gan Jing never thought that such a situation would occur, but he encountered such a thing after leaving the crew for more than two days, "My directing style is different from Director Xie. In this way, which hospital is Director Xie in? Can you speak? I will visit and then return to the crew. ”

"It was good after the operation, but it was a bit difficult to speak. Shang Xiangfei sighed, "Now that I have been transferred to the hospital in the capital, I am on my way to the capital now, if you go to the capital, we will meet and talk." ”

"Good. ”
