Chapter 1734: The Sunglasses King's Epiphany
After completing "Mong Kok Carmen", Wang Jiawei followed Yin Jun with great expectations, went to the United States, and then moved to the Czech Republic.
Although he is said to be an assistant director, Wang Jiawei has a lot of work.
Shi Shaoming planned all the things on the set, and Wang Jiawei was responsible for the shooting of the camera, how to show Yin Jun's meaning by staring at the camera.
This job is not easy at all, at the beginning of the first set of shots, Wang Jiawei was scolded by Yin Jun once, because he did not urge the camera to give Tom Hanks's hands close-up from the side angle.
Wang Jiawei has already made a movie of his own, that is, "Carmen in Mong Kok", but in front of Yin Jun, he is the same as a student.
Sensei said that he had made a movie, and even if other famous film directors in Xiangjiang came, he could only act as a little assistant by Yin Jun's side.
Especially this kind of literary movie, that is Yin Jun's forte, which director dares to criticize Yin Jun's decision?
Do you have the ability to get two Oscar nominations for Best Director, two Best Picture awards, and a Cannes actor and an Oscar?
Therefore, even if Wang Jiawei was scolded and blamed, he kept silent, and worked hard to correct his mistakes and cater to Yin Jun's needs.
After such a month or two, Wang Jiawei finally felt the pulse of Yin Jun's filming, and began to slowly ponder Yin Jun's filming techniques and control the details from the perspective of an apprentice.
On the first day of that day, only two shots were taken, and an actor like Tom Hanks had to shoot for more than 3 hours for a minute or two of shots, and his hands almost cramped, Wang Jiawei was really frightened.
He never knew that anyone would dare to torture the Oscar winner like this.
I'm afraid that only a big director like Yin Jun can shoot the camera so freely, regardless of which actor is in front of the camera, right?
I thought it was good enough.
But Wang Jiawei never expected that there would be even more.
When he looked at Tom Hanks, who was so thin that he was almost only a skeleton, he was holding his body hard, and after shooting a set of shots of escaping from the building, the whole person was stunned.
One is for Tom Hanks' masochism.
No wonder people can become Oscar winners!
I lost 20 pounds before the play, which is not counted, in order to pursue the best effect, I didn't need any post-retouching and makeup effects at all, and I lost another 30 pounds directly!
Tom Hanks is 183 cm tall, and with such a weight of 100 pounds, it is already a dangerous thing to film every day.
And it seems that in the last month or so of the filming process, people will not only maintain, but also adjust at any time, and lose three or five pounds.
Anyway, after Tom Hanks finished filming, he would definitely not be able to recover without taking a break for two or three months.
Reminiscent of Tom Hanks's direct admission to a mental hospital for three months in order to film the role of his brother in "Rain Man", Wang Jiawei felt that this young actor would definitely have a bright future in the future.
An Oscar winner is not his end at all.
He will definitely become an admired superstar like Chaplin and Marlon Brando in the future!
Even Wang Jiawei believes that after the release of the play "The Pianist", Tom Hanks is likely to usher in his second Oscar again.
Who doesn't know that a theme like "The Pianist" is Oscar's favorite?
Thinking of this, Wang Jiawei sighed unconsciously.
He knew Yin Jun's thoughts.
If it weren't for the limitations of the script, Yin Jun would definitely use a Xiangjiang actor to star in his own movie - just like "The Shawshank Redemption".
Everyone knows that if the protagonist of "The Shawshank Redemption" is not Zhou Yunfa, it is really likely to win an Oscar trophy.
But Yin Jun ignored it, directly revised the script and let Zhou Runfa perform.
Although Zhou Yunfa was nominated for Cannes Best Actor and Oscar, it was not surprising that he was not selected for Oscar.
There is no way around it.
In the current film industry, those filmmakers in Europe and the United States are in power, and no matter how strong Yin Jun is, it is not enough to overthrow their decades-long rule.
The second reason why Wang Jiawei was stunned was Yin Jun's ruthlessness.
Others say that Yin Jun is a very gentle and kind person, and when Yin Jun is described as a "noble son", I am afraid that there are few people in Xiangjiang who will not agree.
Even those guys who yearn for Britain and those who curse Yin Jun everywhere have to admit that in terms of personal morality and dealing with others, Yin Jun does have the demeanor of an ancient gentleman.
But all these good reviews were not seen at all during the filming of the movie.
Wang Jiawei knew that Yin Jun's first movie, that is, the first commercial film "Life and Death" that successfully entered Hollywood, Yin Jun was very serious about the details, so serious that he had to let all the actors go into battle in person.
For this reason, Yin Jun's girlfriend Zhong Chuhong was also injured, so frightened that Yin Jun ran to the car regardless of his identity.
This scene is also talked about.
If this movie can't understand Yin Jun's ruthlessness, then the next few movies can fully let people know how harsh Yin Jun is when shooting movies.
For example, Sophie Marceau filmed the scene of giving birth, and later Sophie Marceau said in an interview that in just a few minutes, she filmed for more than 7 hours, spanning two full days, and the pain she suffered during this period is simply indescribable.
She even wanted to pick up a hammer and smash it directly on Yin Jun's body.
Others treat it as a joke, but a director like Wang Jiawei knows that this is not a joke, and Yin Jun is how he forced Sophie Marceau.
He can force such a 16-year-old delicate little girl to almost collapse, that is really ruthless.
For example, when Zhou Yunfa was filming "The Shawshank Redemption", he also said a thing.
In addition to his experience in prison for a few months, Yin Jun also asked people to dig an underground passage for Zhou Yunfa to climb out.
Zhou Yanfa climbed seven or eight times in a row to complete this set of shots.
When the camera ended, he had wounds all over his face.
But you think that's the end of it?
Not at all!
Yin Jun deliberately chose to shoot this scene on a night when it was pouring rain, in addition to climbing the tunnel, he also directly asked Zhou Yanfa to spread his arms in the rain without stopping, tears and smiling faces intertwined, looking up at the sky, looking at the free sky.
Zhou Yanfa also shot this set of shots for more than 2 hours.
Then after filming, Zhou Yunfa was directly sent to the hospital for filming.
Tom Hanks suffered in "Rain Man", and it was definitely no less than Zhou Runfa.
Not to mention his daily speculation and role substitution in the mental hospital, during the filming process, he completely treated himself as an intellectually disabled person, and the hardships he endured were indescribable.
Therefore, excellent shots and excellent movies are made under such harsh torture.
So, Wang Jiawei in turn began to examine himself.
When I was filming "Mong Kok Carmen", was I too gentle with Ren Dahua, Lin Qingyun and Wen Bixia?
I want to learn from Jun Shao's ruthless words, maybe I can go to the next level and shoot a little more stylishly?
Well, it's decided!
When I finish studying here and have the opportunity to open a second movie, I will learn from Junshao, everything depends on the quality of the movie, absolutely no matter what else.
Only in this way can a good movie be made!
With such an idea, after finishing work that night, when eating supper, Wang Jiawei told Yin Jun by the way.
He regarded Yin Jun as his teacher in the film industry, and with these insights, of course he had to bring it up and ask Yin Jun to correct him.
Yin Jun laughed in his heart.
The King of Sunglasses is indeed the King of Sunglasses, this talent really can't be hidden!
asked him to come over to learn the techniques of filming, and how the actors express themselves, and he can still see this part of himself.
Among the Chinese directors in the previous life, the king of sunglasses was the most grinding, followed by Li Yan, who could be regarded as the best director at the Oscar, and then Xu Ke ranked third.
Even Yin Jun's trick of grinding actors at the beginning - that is, the method of making actors constantly reshoot is Wang Jiawei's method of grinding Liang Chaowei back then.
But Wang Jiawei didn't do it at the beginning, the route he took at the beginning was more hippie, and even a little comic.
But when he gradually learned more about movies and had more ideas about himself, he wanted to make some unusual movies.
"The True Story of A Fei" was born under this circumstance.
With his success in "Carmen in Mong Kok", Wang Jiawei fooled Deng Huanrong and asked him to invest tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars to come in, and even coaxed Zhang Guorong and other superstars into the crew.
Of course, the box office of "The True Story of A Fei" was extremely bad, and Deng Huanrong was so angry that he was hospitalized on the spot.
Such a poor result almost ruined Wang Jiawei's career as a director.
Wang Jiawei was also extremely hesitant, and once decided whether he wanted to change his style, but filmed some nonsensical comedy of his old friend Liu Zhenwei?
But at this time, the Xiangjiang Academy Awards came.
"The True Story of A Fei" was nominated for 9 awards in one go, Wang Jiawei won the best director, Zhang Guorong directly won the best actor, and the movie itself became the best movie.
At the Golden Horse Awards, the same "The True Story of A Fei" was also nominated for 9 awards, and the same Wang Jiawei also won the best director.
In one breath, the two awards and the best director shined brightly, and was recognized by the two authorities of this Chinese film, Wang Jiawei suddenly woke up, I was born to make this kind of stylish movie!
Since then, Wang Jiawei has gone farther and farther on the road of literary films, and has never returned.
Because of this, he is also known as the No. 1 literary film director in Hong Kong, and he is more famous than female directors such as Xu Anhua and Zhang Wanting, who can protect the capital of investors and win awards at the same time.
It seems that in this life, Wang Jiawei's sunglasses Wang style will come several years in advance.
"Since you have this interest, then after you go back, let's give it a try!" Yin Jun said to Wang Jiawei, "I'll give you another script, I hope you can do better!"
Wang Jiawei was refreshed when he heard this.
He originally thought that Yin Jun would say that he was a toddler in Handan, a mere little director, and he dared to learn the way of an Oscar-level director.
Unexpectedly, Yin Jun directly affirmed his mind and gave him a script.
You know, "Mong Kok Carmen" has not been released yet, and I don't know what the results are, so Yin Jun gave himself another script?
Who in the world doesn't know how rare Junshao's script is?
Could it be that his talent is so good, so Jun Shaocai takes such good care of himself?
Thinking of Yin Jun's eyesight, Wang Jiawei's mood was a little surging.
He can't wait to end his studies here immediately, return to Xiangjiang, and devote himself to his new movie.
He also wants to see if according to Yin Jun's model, coupled with his own understanding, will he make a more distinctive movie?
