Chapter 394: The Story Begins Here
After Freeman learned about the cast and filming location, he agreed to star in the film.
Especially to know that they built a prison to make this film, I am even more praised.
In this way, the final key piece of the puzzle of the film is also complete.
Both the script and the actors are essential elements of a good movie.
With Freeman, Hong Chen is more optimistic about the future prospects of this film.
Perhaps, it can really cause a shock in film history.
So it didn't take long for the crew to set a schedule, and the signed actors also came one after another, and the assembly was completed.
Then, the shooting also officially began.
In this play, Hong Chen and Freeman are both the absolute core protagonists.
In the first act, Hong Chen is on trial in court, because his wife and his wife's lover were found to have been shot dead, and Hong Chen was following him with a gun and later throwing the gun into the river.
He had a motive to kill, and he could not prove that the bullet in his wife's body was not from his gun, so, under the aggressiveness of the lawyer, the final court verdict against him was:
"Two life imprisonments, one for each deceased. ”
The plot will also be explained later, in fact, there is indeed someone else who killed his wife, but it doesn't matter anymore.
This is the reason why Hong Chen was imprisoned.
Before he was imprisoned, he had a glamorous profession and was very loyal, but Cang Tian played such a joke on him.
This means that he will spend the rest of his life in prison.
On the other side, Shawshank Prison.
With some hesitation and cowardice, Freeman walked into the courtroom, where the five inquisitors sat side by side, looking at him.
Suddenly, Freeman was at a loss, his eyes wandered, and his hands were put behind his back and then down, vividly interpreting a nervous prisoner.
This is also the reason why so many people want to ask him to act in the movie, Freeman takes the role very seriously, so he can often show some of the character's characteristics.
"Sit!" one of the inquisitors ordered.
Freeman moved quickly and immediately sat down.
This is actually a reflection of the current situation in prisons, which is obedience, unconditional obedience, and even obedience without human rights.
"You've been serving for life and incarcerated for 20 years, do you think you've been reformed?" one of the inquisitors asked.
"Yes, sir, I've definitely made it up. Freeman said with a sincere face, a little remorse and trepidation.
"I've learned my lesson, I don't lie to you, I don't have any harm to society. ”
In the face of Freeman's expectations, the inquisitor coldly stamped a seal of disapproval for release from prison.
The scenes in these two days were all filmed with Hong Chen and Freeman.
One longs to get out of prison but is not approved, and the other goes to prison with injustice.
Each one of them makes people feel extra sad.
Yan Chi watched the performance of these two people, but he was very excited.
These two people really deserve to be national treasures, and there is no need to say anything about this acting skill. If someone who doesn't know sees it, they really think that these two people are such prisoners.
And, to be honest, this movie is about the confrontation between Hong Chen and Freeman.
The play between these two people is like a rich and fragrant wine, which makes people feel very natural and comfortable.
"I love this character so much. Freeman chatted with Hong Chen after filming and was amazed.
This kind of very test of acting skills, as well as a very deep "big brother" type of role, is not easy to find in Hollywood.
This kind of character is generally either a simple supporting role, similar to Batman's butler Ah Fu, or some characters in the popcorn movie, similar to the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. director.
There are too few characters like Rhett that people will never forget after watching them.
"You're a perfect fit for the role. Hong Chen said with a smile.
"Mr. Morgan, Hong Chen, you two get ready, the next big scene is about to start shooting. Yan Chi urged behind the set.
Today's scene is indeed a big scene, filming the scene where Hong Chen and a group of criminals are imprisoned, and then the whole prison is watching behind the iron gate.
Hundreds of group performers changed their gray prison uniforms early, and wandered around boringly in the prison wind.
It was at this time that the alarm bell sounded.
The prisoners glanced at each other, and they knew what the bell meant:
New prisoners are coming in.
In a prison like this, the daily work is the repetition of the previous day's work, and life does not have the slightest ups and downs, so watching new prisoners is one of the few things that can be regarded as lively.
So, all the prisoners are running out.
This also includes Freeman and several of his entourage.
Freeman was in high prominence in prison, and he was able to get cigarettes, beer, candy and even posters of celebrities.
The crew had several cameras filming the scene of the prisoners' movements, and even a cameraman was arranged on the roof, just to capture the whole picture of Shawshank Prison from different angles.
The car stopped, and one after another a prisoner was chained to his hand.
The flood dust is among them.
Here a vista is given, and there is a close-up of everyone's face.
Obviously, Hong Chen's temperament is completely incompatible with these people.
The other prisoners were expressionless, or rather calm, and basically accepted what was going to happen.
Only Hong Chen is different, his whole face is painful as if he is about to drip water, and his posture is also very rickety.
That's what this scene wants.
Now is just the beginning, Hong Chen plays an ordinary person who suddenly goes to prison unjustly and may stay in prison for the rest of his life.
For a lifetime.
The future was dark, and the laughter and laughter of the surrounding prisoners were endless.
With an iron chain wrapped around his hand, he staggered forward step by step.
His thoughts at this moment were all written on his face, confused and sad.
The prisoners gathered around a thick fence of wire and shouted excitedly.
Freeman, on the other hand, discusses the dozen or so new prisoners with a group of younger brothers.
"Which one are you betting on?"
"Two cigarettes, I'll bet on the eighth little man!"
"Tell you you don't have much smoke, I'll bet on the third fat man. ”
The younger brothers sipped cigarettes and happily bet.
Their gambling method is simple, that is, to bet on which of these new prisoners will cry first.
Freeman frowned, looking at these people meaningfully, his gaze fixed on Hong Chen's body.
His mind echoed with the voiceover of the script's markout:
"I have to admit that I didn't think Andy was special when I first met him, he looked like a gust of wind could knock him down, and that was my first impression of him. ”
Freeman found that his first thought after seeing Hong Chen's performance was really this.
"You bet on that, Red?" his younger brothers asked Freeman about his bet.
"That tall man, at first glance, is a rich kid born with a silver spoon in his mouth. Freeman replied.
"He? can't be!" was immediately retorted.
Freeman smiled and said, "I just hope I'm wrong, bet ten cigarettes, which of you comes." ”
So, through Hong Chen's first-person perspective and Freeman's third-person perspective, Hong Chen was imprisoned in Shawshank Prison.
The story starts here.
