Chapter 150: Filming continues, playing against Duan Hong
After the filming of the reservoir rescue scene, the next scene is a very critical scene, that is, the scene between Hong Chen and Duan Hong.
When actors with acting skills perform, it is easy to bring the audience into the emotions of two people. Therefore, this kind of scene is often extremely important, and it is necessary to pursue the most perfect effect.
Needless to say, Duan Hong has won the actor and is a real acting school.
Playing against Duan Hong is a great test of Hong Chen's ability.
The scene is very simple, two people drive to a place, smoke cigarettes, and talk about life.
However, at this moment, Duan Hong intentionally or unintentionally talked about the tragedy of a family of five seven years ago.
In this scene, Duan Hong is saying that Hong Chen wants to act.
"The next day, there was a robbery and murder in the Subara Reservoir. Master took me to the scene, it was the first time I participated in a big case, and I will never forget it......." Duan Hong said the lines, his voice slightly low.
He was chatting with Hong Chen just now, and suddenly the conversation changed, and when he talked about the killing of a family of five, the atmosphere suddenly became depressing.
This effect is very good.
Looking at Hong Chen again, he just put the cigarette in his mouth and held the steering wheel with both hands.
When he heard Duan Hong's words, his expression became a little wooden, his lips were holding a cigarette, he didn't smoke, and the ash spread longer and longer.
Hong Chen's performance was as stable as ever.
This scene was filmed in a speeding car, and this kind of scene is usually filmed with the car on a trailer, and then the photographer sets up a machine on the trailer to shoot the scene in the car.
Because the car is shaking, the lens is also shaky. The more this is the case, the more depressing the atmosphere becomes.
In fact, since Duan Hong appeared, Hong Chen's performance has become much more difficult. Because he not only has to perform the protagonist's repentance for his crimes, but also has to show the feeling of being cautious by Duan Hong's side, and not even daring to look at Duan Hong.
That's very hard.
In addition to being born guilty, he also has to act out the feeling of disguise.
Cao Baoping looked at the performance of the two people in the camera remotely, and the more he watched, the more surprised he became, and he couldn't help but admire:
These two people are amazing!
It is definitely the top acting skills in China!
That's what he wants!
His directing style often requires actors with acting skills, like Zhang Yi, Tan Zhuo, and Wang Yanhui.
This time using Hong Chen is also a challenge for him, because it is the first time that he uses a young actor under the age of 30 as the leading role.
Now Hong Chen's performance makes him extremely satisfied.
In this scene now, there is no need for Hong Chen and Duan Hong to say their lines. One of them had a sharp look in his eyes with a bit of suspicion and judgment, and the other looked pretending to be calm and looking ahead, looking a little bleak.
Just looking at their expressions, they didn't consciously integrate into the plot.
The plot behind is more exciting.
After controlling the car and stopping, he took the cigarette from his mouth and snuffed out the cigarette butt directly with his fingers.
It was the first time he had shown his flaws.
Hong Chen's character is a very smart character, after they escaped, recalling the possible evidence, Hong Chen remembered that he had left fingerprints on the girl's necklace, so he began to think of ways to destroy his fingerprints all the time.
The way to destroy it is to snuff out the cigarette butt with your fingers and let the scorching flame slowly burn your fingerprints.
But it was this action that Duan Hong noticed. Duan Hong instantly recalled the tragedy of destroying the door seven years ago.
The two of them looked at each other, and their expressions all changed.
Duan Hong's expression was shocked and his body tensed at first, and then slowly relaxed.
He had doubts in his heart.
Hong Chen seemed to be aware, and was more cautious, looking at the road ahead with an expressionless face.
The two are accomplices, superiors and subordinates, and they are also hunters and prey.
What Hong Chen wants to show is that the prey is disguised as the hunter's accomplice, that kind of caution.
After that, it was Duan Hong who kept tempting. He began to tell the tragic situation at the scene of the crime that year, and kept questioning Hong Chen, stimulating him.
This is also Duan Hong's cleverness.
This paragraph made the tone of the whole film suddenly more tense.
Fortunately, Hong Chen's performance and answer were perfect.
The effect of the two people's performance is very good. This scene focuses on the cooperation of two people, if either party performs badly and has a weak momentum, it will affect the final result.
Cao Baoping was behind the camera, and his eyes gradually became sharp.
Whew, this movie is much better than he imagined.
He felt his long-dormant ambition beating again.
The works he directs are of a very high standard. For a long time, he was used to staying at this level, and it was difficult to make a breakthrough.
The biggest enemy of a great director is often himself.
For example, Jiang Wen's "Let the Bullets Fly" is a high mountain, and it is difficult for the follow-up "Evil Defeats Righteousness" to break through this high mountain.
Cao Baoping is the same.
Now the appearance of Hong Chen, as well as the general effect of the "chemical reaction" produced by him and Duan Hong, made Cao Baoping see the possibility of a breakthrough.
Cao Baoping thought in his heart that this is a good actor, and he should treat him well.
"Director, how's it going?" asked the assistant director in charge remotely after the filming of this scene.
"Very good, let them come back. Cao Baoping had a rare soft-heartedness, and did not ask for a few more shots.
What is going to be filmed at night is another line, the scenes of Guo Tao and Wang Luodan, the scenes are not heavy.
Cao Baoping did not play in person, but handed it over to an assistant director. And he himself called Duan Hong and Hong Chen over to talk to the two.
"Duan Hong, you don't show enough suspicion, you remember, your character has been chasing this murder for seven years, the picture of that tragedy lingers in your mind, and you are extremely eager to solve the case. ”
"Moreover, you have to understand that although it is not written in the script, you are transferred to this police force to go straight to the role of Hong Chen. In the future, when Hong Chen can't see you, you must stare at him sharply, just like looking at a vicious criminal. ”
Cao Baoping spoke, and Duan Hong nodded slowly.
"Hong Chen, you have done a good job of being cautious and repentant, but you have to understand that Duan Hong's character is a very observant policeman, and you can't show that feeling of wanting to atone for your sins too obviously. ”
"When playing against Duan Hong, you are more cautious, apprehensive, and pretend to be calm. ”
Hong Chen savored Cao Baoping's words and benefited a lot.
Only then did he understand that for some complex roles, skills alone are not enough.
Some scenes are enough to have skills, because that scene requires emotion. But many times, the characters are complex, skills alone are not enough, and it is absolutely necessary to add your own understanding.
For example, the skill "born of guilt" is no problem when acting in a one-man show, but if it is set up with the environment, it will be a little incompatible.
If you want to be an actor, Hong Chen still needs to continue to hone.
After that, the work of the crew was carried out in an orderly manner, and Hong Chen's own acting skills were also improving rapidly.
Hong Chen believes more and more that when this movie is released, it will definitely cause extraordinary effects!
