Chapter 149: Free Style

Ding Sheng said confidently: "I will only shoot what I am good at, for this book, I will eat and live with the police in the police station for three months in advance to experience life, collect and consult all the case file materials, and I can pat my chest and say: 80% of our scenes are real materials." ”

Ding Cheng was stunned, this is not easy, usually actors experience life, and directors also go?

"When I was in school or when I first started making films, I would refer to this film and borrow from that film, because that was the learning stage. Now as a mature film director, what I want to do is not learn from anyone. ”

"Before making a movie, ask yourself to forget all the similar cop movies you've seen. If the shooting techniques, lens use, or the whole temperament of a scene are like a certain film, they must be changed, and they definitely don't want to refer to it, they just want to make a police movie that belongs to us. ”

Since the cooperation has been confirmed, Ding Sheng is also willing to share his creative experience with Ding Cheng, and said in detail: "For example, when I was filming the new criminal police story 2013, I once held a symposium with the Propaganda Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security, and the director said to me at that time, you have to shoot more police and gangster films, and police and gangster films are a treasure." ”

"Later, I read a lot of cases, not only the introduction of the cases, but also the very internal information, and my feeling is that things in life are far more wonderful than being compiled. ”

"Even if you only watch one interrogation, all the dialogues in it, the most awesome screenwriter can't write it if he wants to!"

"So the real thing is very powerful, because it's two living people, they're talking and communicating from the heart. Those things are beyond the reach of the screenwriter's imagination alone. ”

couldn't help but take out the script and continued: "Usually there are two lines in kidnapping cases, one is the police and the other is the bandits. But in our case, there is another line of hostages. ”

"The three lines are very exciting, the investigation and arrest of the criminal police is very thrilling, and the robbers are also high-IQ bandits, and they are very arrogant and arrogant to fight wits and courage with the criminal police, which is rare. ”

"The hostages are also very strong, Mr. Wu himself after he was kidnapped that year, not only did a lot of self-protection work, but even rescued another hostage, these materials themselves have been very cinematic. ”

"I don't have to do much processing, I just need to tell the story in a different way than the sensitive things that involve certain investigative methods, try to preserve the sense of realism, and at the same time increase the dramatic conflict and action. ”

Ding Cheng asked curiously: "What have you experienced in the past three months?"

"I followed seven kidnapping cases completely, went to the police together, exercised together, even practiced shooting together, ate and lived together, and sometimes encountered two kidnappings a day. ”

"From receiving the report to analyzing the case, to identifying the suspect to arresting and coming back for interrogation, I followed the whole process and followed with a small DV. ”

Ding Sheng took a sip of wine and said excitedly: "This is very nutritious, because kidnapping is a very special type of case, unlike homicide, the hostages of kidnapping cases are usually alive and ongoing, so every second counts, thrilling, and very cinematic." ”

"Another feature of our movie is that the original case left a lot of video materials. Back then, there was a TV station to follow the shooting, and the criminal police also had a set of equipment to follow the shooting from beginning to end, and I will give you all the information in a while, and go back to have a good look. ”

"Especially the speed of speech, the tone of speech, try to imitate the character of the year, I am going to play back the information of the year after filming, everyone doesn't look like it. Including the camera position and lighting, they are all prepared to be more documentary, like a documentary. ”

Ding Cheng frowned and asked, "Will the audience not be comfortable with documentary techniques?"

Ding Sheng laughed and explained: "Don't understand the documentary shooting technique as dirt!"

"As long as the lighting and image are well grasped, the documentary technique will bring the audience an immersive feeling, as long as the audience wants to see something, the machine will immediately push it. ”

"When the time comes, let the machine carry the whole shooting, without tripods, and revolve around you freely, such as chasing scenes, the conventional shooting machine must keep a certain distance and chase synchronously. ”

"If you put the machine on the front of the car, as long as the car crashes, the camera is five centimeters away from the front of the crash site, do you say the audience is not excited?"

"In a way that is close to the characters in the play, the audience is forcibly pulled into the scene and the audience is allowed to participate in the scene. That's the power of reality, and I need to make it visible to the audience. ”

Ding Cheng nodded secretly, he has a specialization in the art industry, and he is worthy of being a tough guy professional.

I am no stranger to suspenseful police movies, whether it is a crime mystery or a shadow chasing the murderer, the path is similar.

After the director finished speaking, he looked at Ding Cheng, and the reason why he chose him was because of his excellent acting skills, and because this kid had a lot of experience in filming criminal investigation dramas.

Especially the villain in Crime Mystery is amazing, which is why every effort is made to invite the other party to join.

"As soon as this case came out, I felt that sooner or later someone would make it into a movie, because it was so vivid!"

"Especially with the TV station following the filming, and doing such a wonderful show, I think as long as the old man will definitely like to watch it. But at that time, my buddy was just an advertising director, and I couldn't think of such a good subject. ”

"Until I filmed the story of the criminal police, I experienced life in the police force, and the person who lived opposite me was Cao Zhigang, who was the first to rush in that year, and he also made a first-class meritorious service. ”

"When we were chatting, I asked him, you specialize in kidnapping cases, which case has the deepest impression over the years?"

He didn't say a word, and directly said that it was this case. ”

"Because many criminals in kidnapping cases are actually thieves, they are instigated when they see the criminal police. But in this case, the opponent is very strong, and even they have a sense of accomplishment after winning it. ”

"The more I chatted, the more excited I became, and I kept adding details, many of the people who handled the case back then are still working on the front line, and through him I got to know those people again, and everyone added different details. ”

"I basically saved up books for the previous few plays, and you only realized when you did this job that you can't make up real things. ”

"For example, the main culprit you played, Huazi, when the criminal police escorted him to see his girlfriend, it was natural to chat with the captain Liu Ye was going to play, and it was almost a good conversation. ”

"I'll say that I just fell enough to choke...... And said it's okay, my old waist can withstand this ......."

"It's 100% true, you asked a screenwriter who hasn't seen this material to write like this?"

"Don't dare to kill him!"

Ding Cheng re-read the script and felt heavy, he didn't expect the realism to be so high?

"I remember when I was watching a show on TV, the criminal police pressed the suspect down, and of course he actually took out a grenade in his pocket!"

"The insurance was actually not pulled out back then, the loose grenade, as long as the safety was pulled, let go and blow up in a few seconds, and the surrounding meters were all finished, do you say it is not exciting?"

"This time I wanted to play something different and create a particularly free atmosphere for you. Usually, if you arrange a lot of light points on the scene and draw a lot of moving points on the ground, it is easy to cause a restriction to the actors. ”

"What state do I want to pursue this time? After you have read the words all over again, it is better to come down in one go, and you can't stop in the middle, and I can't stop the machine. ”

"Play casually, you don't have to think about the camera position at all. I could slap you on the back of the head, or I could have the machine go around to the front, completely randomly. ”

"There's nothing on the scene that affects your performance, how you want to go. I want each one to feel different, the lines can be changed, when you are comfortable, this one is over!"
