Chapter 334 The easiest finish
A few people from Hollywood, the more they watched, the more surprised they became, and they were surprised to find that Peng Yichen simply reshot a few unimportant scenes, which aggravated that bit of irony, which raised the character performance of the actor in the movie to a very high level.
"Tatsuko, your montage is really good enough. Huang Bo stared at Peng Yichen's rough cut of the reshot footage, and couldn't help but admire.
Peng Yichen used typical montage editing techniques in several shots such as the first meeting between the actor and the Xingqi University students, the first conversation with Alison, and the first time he saw the college student die in front of him.
On the basis of not changing the main shot, just insert those seemingly inconsequential close-ups of the protagonist's face or the close-up of the students of the Star Flag Country, so that the same actions of the same characters become more dramatic.
"How can you think of a way to add 'ironic' character expression contrast to increase the tension of the movie?" Emma looked at Peng Yichen and showed an expression of great admiration: "Peng, you are amazing." Even the Hollywood directors I've met have never thought of making a horror comedy movie like this, and your handling is more delicate and expressive than Jim Carrey's handling in "Truman's World". ”
Peng Yichen added the "contrast" of the facial changes between the male protagonist and the Xingqi University students before and after the film, which not only changed the external form of the film, but also made the film not only have a black humor effect, but also show the audience some higher-level irony and deep meaning.
Let different people look at it, and different associations and interpretations will arise. It leaves enough room for the audience's imagination, so that the viewer can experience the unspeakable absurdity and banter that accidents can happen at any time in life......
Huang Bo, who was more familiar with Peng Yichen, was a little surprised by Peng Yichen's performance in his heart.
You must know that only two or three years ago, Peng Yichen was just a newcomer who could only be among young actors, with excellent acting skills and immature directing skills.
But now, although his acting skills are still not at the top, he has begun to fully exploit his advantages of directing and acting, and from the director's point of view, through clever arrangements, his role has become more expressive.
In just two or three years, Peng Yichen has made progress so fast that it seems that the whole person has become different. This made Huang Bo sigh that genius really can't be considered according to common sense.
Even these top Hollywood filmmakers sent by Hua Na faintly feel the infinite potential contained in Peng Yichen, a young man......
Previously, this young director from China, although he was extremely talented in acting and directing, was only not much different from ordinary commercial film directors in Hollywood.
But now, he makes full use of the director's perspective to improve his performance and achieve the effect of greatly improving the performance of the film.
Although assistant director Lun Andor can't fully say how powerful Peng Yichen's handling method is. But he already feels that Peng Yichen does have the potential to grow into a top director like Spielberg and Kubrick.
After watching the reshoots, everyone in Hollywood was silent, looking at those shots over and over again, as if they were seeing "The Godfather" for the first time.
Peng Yichen also looked at the camera, as if he thought it was very wonderful, he had a very magical feeling, he felt that the shots he shot seemed to be alive, individual, and very vivid, which was completely different from all his previous works......
At night, Peng Yichen, who returned to the room, didn't fall asleep for a long time, thinking back to his performance in directing today, he couldn't help but feel a feeling in his heart.
In his previous life, he was limited to his identity, and he had always been just a trick running around various crews, and his biggest dream was only to be a great actor like Marlon Brando.
He studied acting on his own and honed his acting skills, but he still achieved nothing.
But God gave him a chance to be reborn, and at the same time gave him such a magical ability as the plot world. The greatest meaning for him to feel that he has been reborn is to perform, to become a great actor.
But after experiencing countless worlds and gaining countless life experiences in the plot world, he finally discovered the narrowness and shackles of his mind today......
The biggest help from the plot world is not only the improvement of performance, but also the greater effect is to help him understand the spirit and connotation of the movie from the perspective of the entire movie world.
To put it bluntly, why every time he comes out of the plot world, he turns the whole process into a movie and replays it for him.
It's to tell him how to think about his own performance from the perspective of the film director and the whole movie.
Movies are always a comprehensive and complex art, although the replay of the plot world can never be filmed in the real world, but with this almost perfect "replay movie", Peng Yichen can easily imagine the shots and pictures he needs.
Then, he can constantly adjust his performance from the director's point of view, and even adjust the performance of all the actors in the entire crew.
This is the greatest ability of the plot world, so that he can always see the most perfect way to show a movie in advance, and then he only needs to get as close to this perfection as possible in the real world.
Never worry about your lack of imagination for the picture, and never worry about your performance not fitting with the whole movie.
Under the pressure of conquering North American movie audiences during the filming of "Double Treasure Fighting Demons", he finally integrated his experience in the plot world and could stand on a higher level to look at the performance.
Just this small breakthrough has made my previous performance look new, and the fun and expressiveness of the whole movie have been raised to a higher level. This is the best way to improve your performance with the director's scheduling when your performance level is not at the top.
It is only now that Peng Yichen feels that his own is gradually maturing, and his confidence in the quality of his films has also increased.
Although it is still very difficult to compete with Hollywood blockbusters in the European and American markets, he has no fear or worry.
Because he already has the potential to become a top actor and director......
After a night of contemplation, Peng Yichen became more comfortable with the filming of "Double Treasure Fighting Demons".
The filming progress of the film continued to accelerate, and in just half a month, all the remaining shots were completed.
On the day the movie was finished, there was no finale banquet, no carnival, no special ceremony.
At this time, Peng Yichen experienced the simplest finale.
The staff of the Star Flag Country have been away from their country for more than 2 months, and they are like arrows.
Although the staff of Huaxia and the people of the Star Flag Country have worked together for more than 2 months, they are still a little strange and can't play together.
Peng Yichen simply arranged a buffet on the set, and after everyone was full of food and drink, they went back to their respective homes and found their mothers the next day.
Subsequently, Peng Yichen returned to Kyoto with Hua Na's post-production team and began the intense post-production work of the film.
Although Hua Na generously handed over the final editing rights of the movie to him this time, the other party still filmed two top Hollywood editors to help Peng Yichen complete the editing of the movie.
Peng Yichen doesn't have too many objections in this regard, after all, in Hollywood, the final editing right of the movie is the prerogative of top directors.
Hua Na did not embarrass Peng Yichen in this regard, and it is already the result of looking at the prospects of the Chinese market and the small cost of this film, especially relaxing the control over film editing.
However, it is impossible for Hua Na to be completely assured of Huaxia's post-production personnel in this regard, and it is not unacceptable to send two editors to follow up the editing work of the film.
On the contrary, many of the opinions of these two editors are also very inspiring and reminding for Peng Yichen. The post-production work of "Double Treasure Fighting Demons" has also become extremely smooth.
