Chapter 42: Cha Lemon
The movie "Border Storm" is very special!
The structure and form are bold.
In terms of structure, the film is divided into four chapters, titled "Dog", "Past Events", "Daughter" and "Past Events", which are respectively noted in the form of subtitles, each chapter is relatively independent, and together they form an orderly whole with many characters and clues. The linear narrative is broken up, and several scenes are repeated and interspersed throughout the film, while the plot is coherent and clear.
This kind of structural treatment is not uncommon in European and American independent films, but it can be said to be at the forefront of the times in domestic commercial films, and only "Stone" can be compared to it...
There is a strong sense of form.
The camera is correspondingly sluggish, the language density is low, but the plot has all kinds of twists and turns, the aesthetics of bloody violence...
A lot of the scenes are in black and white...
These are all parodies of The Godfather.
Anyone who has a little bit of a touch of acting knows that "The Godfather" is known as the closest thing to perfect film in film history - it's hard to find fault!
Therefore, Sun Honglei and they will gladly accept the invitation of the crew, and they can see that this is a forced work.
Of course, Ning Hao also knew that this was a good movie, so he really gave Lu Xiaoran a start...
......
The story of "Frontier Storm" is an entanglement of fate.
Because the glimpse of another drug dealer not only betrayed Sun Honglei, but also involved the dentist father and daughter in the abyss of fate.
In the tense and chaotic situation, Sun Honglei made his optimal solution - kidnapping the little girl, so that not only as a hostage, but also as a bargaining chip to return to Myanmar to respond to the drug lord.
Moreover, he did not throw out all the goods, but hid most of them, and afterwards, he asked the dentist to send the goods back, and he would return his daughter to him...
And then, the dentist did say yes, but the whole thing was broken by the police...
The dentist was locked up...
Decade!
The biggest contradiction in the whole drama is the dentist who was separated by Sun Honglei back then.
He is afraid and hateful of Sun Honglei, and he has an irreconcilable contradiction with his daughter who grew up later, and this contradiction is Sun Honglei.
It was precisely because of his hatred of Sun Honglei that Sun Honglei was shot in the end - it was he who called the police.
Xiao An, the dentist's daughter and the drug dealer are a couple.
According to the requirements in the play, she is the kind of calm and calm character, and she doesn't have much demand for life - it's good to be alive!
A character who is normal to the dirt.
This is the consensus of Lu Xiaoran, including all the actors in the crew who have read the script, but Yang Mi is too lively, her expression is 19 years old...
Yes, Xiao An's age is 19 years old, but she is the eldest brother's woman, how many things do you think she has experienced?
The biggest dream is that the eldest brother quits the rivers and lakes, and the two live an ordinary life...
This character must be cold and give people a feeling of seeing through the world.
Yang Mi's acting skills...
It's really just overthinking.
In fact, there is no need for the character of Xiao An to have so many expressions, in addition to being buried alive and when Sun Honglei died in the end, there was a fierce crying scene.
She is probably used to "The Condor Heroes", and thinks that not being pretentious is good acting!
Of course, it is good acting if it is not pretentious, but "Border Storm" is a very contrived drama.
Lu Xiaoran's thoughts, except for the policeman's sister and Sun Honglei, the other characters, it is best for everyone to have a wooden face.
To put it nicely, this is called acting with eyes;
Bad talk is pretending!
Of course, high-quality movies must be presented in a pretending way.
So, after filming for a morning, Lu Xiaoran decided to let her adjust and see how the other actors in the crew behaved first-you have to blend in, you can't be out of harmony with the whole rhythm!
Yang Mi was very unconvinced, she felt that Lu Xiaoran was targeting her...
Why can Sugar Candy be so intense?
And he actually lives with Tangtang...
This mentality began at the beginning of the year when "The Story of Two Donkeys" appeared on "China Film Report"...
She knew the movie "The Story of Two Donkeys", Lu Xiaoran mentioned it to her, although she was not explicitly invited, but she hoped that she could participate, and then she pretended not to know, and Lu Xiaoran did not mention it again...
Then, "The Tale of Two Donkeys" went to Berlin!
Damn, that's the Berlin Film Festival.
Yang Mi in this time period has a movie dream, and she wants to show her acting skills on the big screen and conquer the audience!
If she knew that "The Tale of Two Donkeys" could go to Berlin, how could she have acted it...
What she didn't expect was that Lu Xiaoran became popular, and after the broadcast of "Struggle", everyone was discussing this drama!
Lu Xiaoran really became famous in one fell swoop.
It's okay if it's popular, I actually found a girlfriend, and I'm really serious about dating, and I don't shy away from the crew at all, and the media is already reporting on it...
The steady licking dog spare tire flew, but I didn't catch it...
Well, Yang Mi is not the kind of emotional intelligence that touches, of course she can feel that Lu Xiaoran is very greedy for her body, if it was...
The current director's wife is her!
I'm first, it's obviously me first...
White Scientists!
This feeling clearly affected her!
It also affected her self-judgment!
She didn't know that her rival actor Sun Honglei was very upset with her...
The actresses that Yan Wang has cooperated with before are all at the level of Zhang Ziyi ("My Father and Mother"), Gong Li ("Zhou Yu's Train"), Ning Jing ("Manhole Gaier"), and Zhang Jingchu in "Seven Swords" again...
Even if it is "Shanghai Red Beauty", the actress who cooperates with Wu Junmei!
These actors all rely on their acting skills to win the world, so he is used to the feeling that the actor is very strong, in a word, he has never worked with an actress who lives so roughly!
So, he strongly expressed his dissatisfaction!
The director I found in private...
Of course, it was impossible for Lu Xiaoran to change actors, so he reassured: "Brother Honglei, let's not rush first, you give me two days, and I promise to give you a perfect rival actor!"
“... How did you choose her?"
"She's pretty red, and she's the right age..."
"The acting is too bad!"
"It's all from young actors, and you can take your time. ”
Sun Honglei didn't make any more trouble and went back to his room.
Lu Xiaoran sighed...
When Tangtang saw Sun Honglei coming out, she came back from Jiao Junyan's room and asked with concern, "... What's wrong with you?"
Jiao Junyan came over to make a cameo appearance as the girl in sunglasses who was hit by her.
"It's nothing, Brother Hong Lei thinks Yang Mi's acting skills are not good, I'm thinking about how to adjust her acting!"
"Oh..."Sugar Candy shut up...
The atmosphere was a little wrong, and Lu Xiaoran glanced at Tangtang: "What's wrong with you?"
"It's not much, it's normal for you to care about the heroine!"
The three words 'heroine' are accented...
Obviously, the real girlfriend is not happy...
Lu Xiaoran was a little surprised: "No, you're actually jealous?"
He has always felt that the biggest advantage of Tangtang is that he never fights or grabs, and accompanies him quietly...
Are you still jealous?
Tangtang simply didn't hide it: "... I just want to know why you're looking for her to play the female lead?"
