Chapter 337: Journey to the West
An Dao invites you to enter "Journey to the West". ’
An Dao invites you to enter "Journey to the West". ’
At the same time, many people received the news, and those who saw it quickly clicked on the confirmation.
It's been a month and a half!
Liu Miao and the others couldn't wait for a long time.
Although they all got their respective scripts, and even memorized them almost, they actually wanted to film earlier.
After all, this is Director An's new play.
Liang Liang also entered the group, and there were only ten members in the group.
Among the actresses, she knew all the people she picked that day, but she hadn't seen the actor yet, and she didn't know who the opponent was this time.
Of course, Liang Liang naturally hopes that the person who plays against him is a first-line star.
And what she hopes most is that this film can become a classic!
That's right, to become a classic!
In her opinion, becoming a classic is more important than a higher box office. Of course, as long as you mix in this circle, or people with foresight can probably understand.
Classic films are much more solid for the promotion of status than high box office.
"Let's all get to know each other, and besides, the workload of this Journey to the West is greater than that of ordinary movies!"
"Journey to the West" was divided into two parts, because the director was writing and filming during the filming that year, so there were too many materials.
Chen Ange is also thinking about this matter.
"Moonlight Treasure Box" and "The Great Sage's Marrying", although they were divided into two parts, the reviews of the year were actually not good.
Part of the reason for this is probably related to the separation of the film.
Because the finishing touch of the whole Journey to the West is at the end of the latter part.
And the first "Moonlight Treasure Box" is mostly a farce, which is why some people commented that Journey to the West was too farceful.
But the most important thing is that the film is actually divided into two parts, because "Journey to the West" is after "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance", and when it comes to the supreme realm of nonsense, "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance" should be even more powerful than "Journey to the West", but "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance" back then was constantly praised.
And the reason why everyone talks about "Journey to the West" is because the first film is over, but the story is not over.
In other words, a story is not told in its entirety at all.
After all, although there will be a first, second, and so on in a movie, even if it is the first, it will tell a complete story.
However, the story of "Journey to the West: Moonlight Treasure Box" is incomplete.
Or it can be said that "Moonlight Treasure Box" and "The Great Sage's Marriage" should not have been separated.
This is also the reason why Chen Ange is ready to combine these two into a complete movie this time.
Throughout film history, movies generally do not exceed 100 minutes, almost 99% of them are stuck in about 100 minutes, and the vast majority of them are 90 minutes.
Although this is not deliberately prescribed, it is the accumulation of experience of countless filmmakers, or it has become an unspoken rule of editing.
Of course, twenty years ago, there may have been a longer film, such as 150 minutes or something.
But in the past twenty years, it has almost been a hundred minutes.
Because the length of the film is longer, the number of screenings per day will be reduced, in other words, it is to find a business income.
Ninety minutes is therefore divided into optimal lengths.
But in reality, as long as the story is exciting, the length of time is not a big issue.
The two films "Moonlight Treasure Box" and "The Great Sage's Marriage" together are about 200 minutes, that is, three hours and 20 minutes.
This kind of time is indeed a bit excessive, because many people really can't sit for so long, but Chen Ange feels that it is worth watching a "Journey to the West" for more than three hours.
Of course, Chen Ange himself doesn't know whether this film can be popular or not, but he can learn from the way of the previous life.
"Hello everyone, I'm Fu Liangliang, and I play Zixia/Qingxia in the play. ”
"Hello everyone, I'm Liu Miao, and I play Bai Jingjing in the play!"
……
One by one, they all briefly began to introduce themselves.
"Hello everyone, I'm Zhou Chi, and I play the Supreme Treasure in the play. ”
Zhou Chi?
The male lead?
Liang Liang was stunned, she had never heard of this actor, is it a newcomer?
Although I was a little disappointed in my heart, this is Director An's play, and Director An does like to praise newcomers, thinking about this drama again, it seems that all of them are newcomers, and the old man Director An of Lotus Film and Television before was useless.
In other words, An Dao should be to hold a stubble of people out this time, and the more he thinks about it, the more excited Liang Liang becomes.
"Get ready, start filming in Zhenbeibao Film and Television City at the beginning of next month!"
Lotus Film and Television City is now very perfect, but it is just a desert, and Chen Ange heard that earlier this film did not seem to choose the desolate reeds, but the peach blossom forest, but perhaps because of the preconceived ideas, and the whole film takes a tragic route, so Chen Ange feels that the desolate reeds seem to be more able to express the taste of this film.
……
Zhenbeibao Film and Television City!
The first time I went to the desert, I finally saw what was written in the book: the desert is lonely, and the sun sets over the long river.
That night, the sunset spread over the western sky, and the yellow sand everywhere began to turn red, and the whole world seemed to be clothed in a veil.
But at the same time, she also really felt the ruthlessness of the desert.
Her skin hurt a little from the scorching sun, and at night, she had to wrap herself in a thick quilt.
However, the most important thing is strength!
Walking in the desert is almost three times more strenuous than walking on flat ground, not to mention fighting, and of course, this also has the advantage that it doesn't hurt if you fall.
"Zhou Chi, what are you doing, naturally, naturally you know? Acting should make the audience not feel that you are acting. ”
"What about the guts, can you let go of the guts, what are you shy about as a big man?"
"Touch-up, make-up!"
On the set, Chen Ange's shouting voice was all over.
Among them, Zhou Chi shouted the most, after all, Zhou Chi himself is not a professional actor, and although he has been training for two months, he only has a general understanding of acting.
"What are you shy about?" Chen Ange looked at Zhou Chi angrily, Zhou Chi and Bai Jingjing Desert had not filmed this section five times.
Zhou Chi also looked helpless.
Although he didn't have any intimate clips in this film, the clips of rolling in the desert with Bai Jingjing made him embarrassed.
As an innocent otaku, he has only talked about it once for so many years, and it has been almost seven years since that time he fell out of love, and he has not been in love for seven years, plus he has rarely gone out in these years, he is simply a virgin, and in the past seven years, let alone hugging a woman, even if he talks to a woman, he will blush, so he is really a little overwhelmed by this kind of scene.
"If you are shy, you should play the game of riding a horse, and you ride on her and you symbolically tear her clothes, and then let her ride on you and symbolically tear her clothes. ”
Chen Ange said it over and over again, and even went directly to the field to start teaching hand-in-hand.
And from the end of the game, Chen Ange has been teaching people almost all the time.
……
"Director An, this film feels ...... It feels like a!"
Huang Qianming was eating a boxed lunch while chatting with Chen Ange.
In fact, until now, he has not read the complete book, but when he looks at these filmed materials, Huang Qianming feels ......
Exaggeration!
That's right, it's an exaggeration!
And it's completely different from the films he's been exposed to before.
exaggerated performance forms, exaggerated plots, and bold adaptations, but if you just look at the material, he doesn't know whether it's good or bad at all.
……
"The long night is long and I have no intention of sleeping, I thought I could only sleep, it turns out that you can't sleep either, Miss Jingjing!"
"yes, I don't know why I can't sleep when I help!"
"It's because of you, Miss Jingjing!"
"Me?"
"Yes, since I saw you Jingjing girl, I decided to change my life and stop being a thief, in order to show my sincerity to you, girl, I don't want to see my old self!
"It's you stinky monkey!"
"Stinky monkeys?"
"Monkey King!"
"Monkey King?"
"You're just going to be human?"
"Human?"
"It seems that I don't need the three-flavored white bone fire, you won't admit it!"
……
"Zhou Chi, pay attention to your eyes, your eyes don't need to change, if you don't understand, you can think about your past!"
……
"Liu Miao, Zhao Ying'er, don't laugh, okay!"
Chen Ange's face darkened, this is the fourth time.
This episode of the invisibility talisman plot of stripping off his body made Chen Ange have a headache.
The others didn't laugh, but Thirty Niang and Bai Jingjing kept laughing.
……
"Am I really the main character?"
Liang Liang looked at the book, a little confused.
It's been so long since the film was filmed, and she, the heroine, hasn't even played, what is this?
But......
She really likes this book so much, especially the Zixia Fairy in it, which is simply a portrayal of her heart.
Or, in other words, she sees herself in this role, after all, the person in her dream is also a great hero.
……
"Half a step further and I'll kill you!"
"You should do it, and I should die. There was once a sincere love in front of me, I didn't cherish it, and when I lost it, I regretted it, the most painful thing in the world is this, your sword is in my throat, don't hesitate anymore, if God can give me another chance, I will say three words to that girl: I love you, if I can add a deadline to this love, I hope it will be 10,000 years!"
"Then what do you think of your lady to confess!"
"I must confess! So I must take back the moonlight treasure box, take you back with me, and make it clear to them, I don't care what others say about me, and I am not afraid that thousands of people will spit on me in the future, and I will bear it alone!"
Chen Ange pressed his forehead, not even wanting to look at the picture.
"Looks, looks, how many times have I said it, not only Zhou Chi, but also Liang Liang's eyes, admiration, admiration, do you understand? Liangliang, haven't you ever been in love?"
"There is water in your eyes, you have water in your eyes, and you will be given a mirror to practice well!"
……
"Director An, why do I think there are too many materials!"
Huang Qianming manages the camera, he knows how much material there is in a film, and this time the film is obviously not only a lot of material, but also a lot of plots.
"Well, this time the film is probably very long!"
"If the film is too long, the viewing experience will be very poor!"
……
"Last night I asked a spider to tell you, and asked him to tell you, I miss you very much, do you know it!"
"Do you know that I've been lying to you!"
"Lie to it, just like a moth, knowing that it will hurt or throw itself on the fire, the moth is so stupid. ”
……
"One day when you find out that you are in love with someone you hate, this relationship is the most fatal. ”
"But how could I fall in love with someone I hate?"
"Please give me a reason, please!"
"Do you need a reason to love someone?"
"Don't you need it?"
"Do you need it?"
"Don't you need it?"
Zhou Chi looked at these lines with a somewhat calm expression.
This film is actually a little familiar to him.
Because the plot of the film is somewhat similar to his "Past Life and Present Life", and he was the first to see the book, Director An also told him at that time that this book was detached from his "Past Life and Present Life", but I have to say that this book is indeed better than his "Past Life and This Life".
Especially some of the lines in it.
Zhou Chi had thought a lot, and for him, it may be the coexistence of sadness and happiness.
Sadly, he sometimes feels pathetic.
He imagined a woman who never existed, and originally just wanted to deceive himself and give him the confidence to work hard. But in the end, he was so deceived that he even believed himself.
As for happiness, perhaps it is that most of the time I don't feel lonely, and when I'm tired, I always feel like I'm looking at what I used to have, as if she's by my side.
But isn't the loneliest thing about people the loneliness in a few cases, that is the hardest and coldest time.
Marriage is uneventful!
But love is not!
Zhou Chi's first love was very short, and now he has a vague memory, although it seems to be vigorous, but it is unsatisfactory.
He can tolerate love without a good ending, but he can't stand the blandness.
So when he saw Zixia saying that the person he intended would marry me under the attention of thousands of people, wearing a golden armor and stepping on the colorful auspicious clouds, what he envied was not the grand scene of marrying, but the emotion of the tragic ending of Supreme Treasure and Zixia.
He used to be able to leave everything behind to find the right person, but now, he didn't dare.
One is responsibility!
Second, it may be that he is old and really can't run anymore, he has become accustomed to it, not like when he was young, he can walk as soon as he wants, without any worries, the more so, the more he envies this vigorous feeling.
Just like the charming royal sister who likes to be mature and gentle when she is young, she likes to be lively and active when she is old!
People, the more they lack something, the more they envy something.
Maybe it's because he thinks too much and thinks too deeply, in the second half of the shooting, Zhou Chi's state is like a rocket, completely integrated into it, especially his eyes from afar, when the camera zooms in, it is full of stories!
