Chapter 333 Peng Yichen's demands
Since Emma and Peng Yichen revealed their hearts, the cooperation between the two sides has become more compatible.
After a month, most of the plot of the movie was filmed.
But Peng Yichen has been reflecting on whether more satirical effects can be added to extremely spoofed and black humorous themes like "Double Treasure Fighting Demons" in the past few days to weaken the elements of bloody violence. Isn't it better?
In fact, in the original version of the previous life, the treatment of black humor in the movie was very good, but the people of the Star Banner Country are accustomed to expressing themselves, but they added too much blood and rough coincidences to the movie, but there was a lack of natural irony and a sense of fate.
Peng Yichen felt that he could have a better way to deal with it.
After thinking about the effect he wanted, he shouted to the heads of several departments of the crew: "Everyone come and gather, let's have a short meeting." ”
After the heads of several departments gathered, Peng Yichen groaned for a while and said, "Let's take some of the shots we took before and shoot them again." I'd like to try it differently. I wanted to increase the proportion of some of the satirical scenes and reduce some of the coincidences and gore. What do you think, Emma? I think we should add a little bit of oriental fatalism. ”
Emma can be said to be the biggest actor in this movie. She is also a representative of the Hollywood staff and actors sent by Hua Na's side.
What's more, in recent times, Emma's acting skills have improved by leaps and bounds under Peng Yichen's tutelage, which made Peng Yichen very satisfied with her performance.
Therefore, when appropriate, Peng Yichen also needs to respect her opinion.
Everyone looks at me, I look at you, although everyone has long been accustomed to this changeable director and changing his way of shooting at any time.
But I haven't heard of such a director who comprehensively denies his previous shooting.
How many scenes before the reshoot and how much work would have to be added to that.
Huaxia's staff are all Peng Yichen's old brothers, of course, there is no objection.
But everyone from Hollywood is looking at Emma Roberts at this time.
Although they are not happy to increase their work, if Emma, who is the biggest coffee here, if they have no opinion, they dare not object.
You must know that since the subprime mortgage crisis began to break out in 07, the economy of the Star Flag Country in the past two years has been very bad.
If you want to find a job with a high salary, it is definitely a very difficult thing in today's Star Flag Country.
They don't want to lose their jobs at Hua Na because of the extra workload.
Of course, if Emma, the "delicate" second generation of stars, stands up against Peng Yichen's decision, it will have nothing to do with them.
It's a pity that Emma disappointed them this time, not only did she not show any signs of anger, but nodded excitedly: "Director Peng, you can shoot as much as you want, I can do it." ”
They know that Emma is now addicted to Peng Yichen's "training", and the kind of acting skills that can be seen by the naked eye has increased, but she has never experienced it.
Now that she can continue to receive Peng Yichen's guidance, how can she be unhappy.
Seeing Emma agree, Peng Yichen was relieved, and began to re-turn out the storyboard script, arranging a few scenes that needed to be reshot with the cameraman and lighting engineer.
Surprisingly, the few scenes that Peng Yichen is going to reshoot are all some unimportant scenes with Emma, and it seems that everyone has no impression before.
However, Peng Yichen said that he wanted to add some sarcasm, which is indeed a little worrying.
The main atmosphere of "Double Treasure Fighting Demons" has always been horror and black humor, and excessive irony will not upset this balance.
Huang Bo watched the performance of the two people on the side, and found that Emma, a chick from the Star Flag Country, looked at Peng Yichen more and more strangely.
As an "old man" with incomparably rich social experience, Huang Bo certainly knew that Emma, the little girl, was attracted to Peng Yichen.
But what makes him the most strange is this, if when Peng Yichen was slender, a little girl liked him, Huang Bo could still understand.
But now Peng Yichen looks like a ball.
In order to conform to the image of the characters in the movie, Peng Yichen also specially grew a long beard and long hair, which looked sloppy.
How can this still attract the girl's liking, it's a ghost.
Of course, Huang Bo's thoughts, Peng Yichen didn't know at all at this time.
He's now fully engaged in a few of his reshoots.
The first reshot shot is the scene where Peng Yichen and several Xingqi University students meet for the first time in a small town.
Originally, this scene was very simple, only Peng Yichen needed to make a nervous expression, and several college students from the Star Flag Country made frightened looks, and just ran away.
But when it was remade, Peng Yichen showed a slightly exaggerated funny expression, and the character's temperament changed all of a sudden, but it did not break the atmosphere of this scene.
highlights the innocence of the male protagonist played by Peng Yichen, which makes Hollywood college students overly complicated, and when they see a person, they think of the performance of a perverted murderer, which looks very brain-dead.
Emma, who performed the rival play, was also very surprised by Peng Yichen's way of acting, don't look at Peng Yichen saying that he wanted to add a little irony.
You must know that in the movie that is already very dark humorous, more "ironic" effects must be added, and the requirements for the actors will be very high.
A little less will be very redundant, and a little more will be too funny, and the degree in between is very difficult to grasp.
Even the "King of Comedy" Stephen Chow has been studying hard for many years, and it is very difficult for him to add satirical elements to his funny nonsense, and it is only in his later works that he gradually grasps the proportion and usage of satirical elements in movies.
As you can imagine, how difficult it can be.
However, Peng Yichen's handling this time can be said to be just right, it is completely like walking on a tightrope in the sky, and the accurate performance makes the staff from Hollywood look at it with a sense of amazement.
Len Andor, Huang Bo and others behind the camera lens actually didn't understand Peng Yichen's intention to increase the "ironic" element at first.
Now that I see his performance, I realize the subtle difference.
Peng Yichen is still the same Peng Yichen......
But the tension and inland sea of his performance have expanded a lot, and the whole character is more vivid and cute.
And the disgust and fear of those students in the Star Flag Country towards him also seemed even more unjustified and extremely ironic.
Originally, throughout the movie, Peng Yichen's overwhelming performance of several young actors in Hollywood in terms of acting skills completely covered these young actors.
But now Peng Yichen's performance has actually driven the performance level of these young actors, especially Emma's acting skills are the most amazing.
In the eyes of people like Lenandor, who had known Emma before, this girl's acting skills were very different from before.
What is the reason for this?
Everyone didn't know what was going on, they just quietly watched Peng Yichen's performance, and slowly figured out what was going on while watching him reshoot those scenes one after another.
These Hollywood filmmakers who have filmed with big Hollywood directors all whispered in their hearts: "I see, it's a contrast......"
Before, Peng Yichen had always been very simple and kind, and had good intentions towards everything.
This is the character of the male protagonist of this movie, and there is no problem with such a performance.
But that kind of performance is too formal and completely inconsistent with the tone of the black humor of the whole movie.
And now Peng Yichen has completely jumped out of this mentality, and completely turned the role of the male protagonist into a slightly cunning peasant image in kindness.
This makes him and the role of the college students in the Star Flag Country form a subtle contrast.
A kind peasant finally became cunning because of this crazy death.
And a group of students from the Star Banner Country who originally had complex thoughts ended up dying one by one because of the discrimination and fear in their hearts.
This is the most ironic thing about this movie.
The performance of both sides, one is wise and foolish, and the other seems to be wise and stupid, the irony of the movie was so carried out by Peng Yichen that it broke through the sky in one fell swoop.
Through the comparison of these two roles, Peng Yichen also revealed that the people of Huaxia and Xingqi Country have different attitudes towards life.
And not only that, the most exciting part of Peng Yichen's reshoot is a scene where college students and the protagonist sit down to communicate before the end of the movie.
This is a long shot without storyboards, and both sides are constantly expressing their thoughts in this communication.
Everyone was surprised to find that when Peng Yichen listened to the tragic story of his parents told by the college student "Chad" opposite, his expression was completely synchronized with the actor of Chad opposite.
And this synchronization of subtle expressions also means that Peng Yichen can deeply understand the heart of the students of the Star Flag Country, but the students of the Star Flag Country have always shouted and killed this sensitive Huaxia.
Isn't this what many Xingqi people think when they face the Chinese people?
Always look at the Chinese people with a prejudiced eye.
After these small changes by Peng Yichen, the whole movie has become more and more fun and ironic.
After three days of reshooting, Peng Yichen re-edited the shots into the previous shots.
Everyone re-watched the film that was almost finished (the film that had not been post-processed), only to find that after these small adjustments, the whole level of the film had been improved by a whole level.
It's definitely at the level of a classic movie. And it's the ultimate in anti-genre movies, which is full of innovation compared to the stupid Hollywood horror movies that used to be.
At this point, the staff and actors sent by Hua Na were completely convinced by Peng Yichen, such a young director and leading actor, from the outside to the heart.
And Peng Yichen is also in this crew, looking for the talents he needs to enter the international film market in the future.
In the future, he will shoot movies in Hollywood, and prepare the foundation.
