Chapter 170: Master Zu appreciates the food
The movie "First Blood" does not require the acting skills of the supporting actors, but the image must meet the requirements. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
But at the end of the plot of the film, the protagonist Lan Bo's monologue when facing his boss is more of a test of acting skills, and he may not be able to act without some acting skills.
Fortunately, Guo Dalu doesn't have this concern, this guy has confidence in himself no matter what he does, and acting in movies is the same.
The town chosen by Huang Botao as the filming location is a typical town in northern cities, although it is now the beginning of spring, the weather here is still cold, and the entire crew is talking with cold air in their mouths, and their mouths are like small chimneys.
Guo Dalu is a do-it-all character, since all the preparations have been made properly, there is no delay at the moment, and the crew began to get busy the day after he arrived in the town.
Long before the crew filmed, the filming had been negotiated with the relevant person in charge in the town.
As a relatively remote town, I heard that there was a film crew who wanted to shoot a movie in the town, and the mayor couldn't close his mouth happily, in their opinion, it was a great thing to be able to make a movie in their own town, and it was naturally the greatest convenience for everything, but the food and accommodation of the crew must be in the place designated by the mayor.
For this requirement, the crew is naturally indispensable, and compared to the huge expenditure of the crew's budget, this cost will naturally not be too much to consider.
What's more, spending a little money to applaud the officials in the town will naturally have a lot of artificial obstacles when filming in the future.
When everything is ready, the shooting begins.
The first scene of the crew is Lan Bo, played by Guo Dalu, wearing a shabby winter coat and walking along the road alone in the snow.
Guo Dalu originally had a flat-headed short hairstyle, but he had to bring a wig in order to shoot the image of Lan Bo.
A soldier who came back from the battlefield and a soldier who became a homeless man, his hair naturally looked like he hadn't been taken care of for a long time.
Only in this way can it conform to the image of a tramp.
Shooting begins.
As the camera opened, Guo Dalu appeared in front of the camera carrying the salute scroll slowly along the highway.
Huang Botao has seen a lot of Guo Dalu's heroic and tough image, and at first he was worried that Guo Dalu would not be able to grasp the down-and-out and tired image of the protagonist, but as soon as Guo Dalu appeared in front of the camera at this time, Huang Botao knew that his worry was purely superfluous.
Guo Dalu, who appeared in front of the camera, looked tired, wearing a single coat, his hair was flying in the wind, and the snow was getting bigger and bigger, falling on his body, making him half a snowman.
As a down-and-out veteran, exhausted from cold and hunger after a long, lonely journey, he has come to find one of his former comrades.
As a veteran returning from the battlefield, battlefield syndrome had made it difficult for him to adjust to life in peacetime, and the nightmares on the battlefield were always with him, making him sleepless and tormented all day long.
In the era of peace, the motherland no longer needs a soldier like him, war is far away, peace is the theme, and a veteran like him, who has extremely dangerous tendencies, has become the object of rejection by many people, and he can't even find a job to support himself.
After being rejected by the main society, he naturally gave birth to the idea of huddling together for warmth, so he began to look for his comrades-in-arms.
The camera moves slowly with Guo Dalu's movements, and then the camera stops, and Guo Dalu's back disappears into the wind and snow.
"Alright! This shot is over, let's move on to the next scene. ”
When filming this movie, it is impossible for everything to coincide with the movie in memory, and Guo Dalu must adapt it in order to make this film more in line with the environment and behavior of China.
In the original scene, the shot of Lan Bo just came out should have appeared in a relatively good weather, but now it is a snowy weather, so naturally we can't do it rigidly.
After this scene, Guo Dalu returned to the crew's car, "Let's go, let's go to the next place!"
The next scene is where the protagonist's comrades are.
Guo Dalu got out of the car and continued to perform.
China is not as good as the West, in the original movie, when Lan Bo met the mother of his comrade-in-arms, the old woman was drying clothes by the lake, but now the wind and snow are everywhere, naturally it cannot be imitated, and this scene was changed into an indoor scene by Guo Dalu.
In a small farm yard, Lan Bo found the place where his comrades were according to the address, and after knocking on the door, it was an old lady who opened the door.
This old lady is played by the old actor Dong Aimei specially invited by Huang Botao, although it is only a supporting role and there are not many lines, but Huang Botao does not dare to be sloppy.
He knows that Guo Dalu has extremely high requirements for actors, and he strives for excellence in making movies, if he doesn't care about doing things, there will definitely be no good fruit to eat.
Although this movie is an action movie, Guo Dalu strives to reach a high level in acting, a movie wins with just one action, and it lacks humanistic themes, which is too thin.
Filming continues.
The mother-in-arms of her comrade-in-arms played by Dong Aimei suddenly changed her face after opening the door and seeing Lan Bo's image, "You are a comrade-in-arms of the army, right?"
Foreign movies should be adapted into domestic stories, and the names of the characters in the stories must also be localized, and the army is the name of Lan Bo's comrades-in-arms, which is usual, the most common, and the most appropriate.
This line is Guo Dalu's revised line, and there is often nothing to praise it, but after the old lady asked this sentence, the change in her face was extremely rich, as if she was surprised, and seemed to be curious, but more sad, this complex emotion was intuitively expressed on her face.
Huang Botao, who was controlling the shooting situation in front of the camera, was very excited, "Hurry up, give Mr. Dong a close-up of his face, you must take this shot!"
"It's still such a dedicated old actor!"
After seeing Dong Aimei's performance, Guo Dalu secretly praised him, he didn't dare to hesitate, and hurriedly replied: "Auntie, I am!
The old woman's eyes showed sadness, "Although he didn't say anything about you, your temperament is very similar to his, and the kind of soldiers who come down from the battlefield have something more than ordinary people." ”
She said to Lan Bo: "A trait that cannot be said but does exist, I feel it from my son, and I can feel it in yours as well, so I think you should be his comrade-in-arms." ”
Rambo was happy, this should be the only time he smiled in the entire series, "Yes, Auntie, I am his comrade-in-arms!
As he spoke, he took out a photo from his pocket, "This is what we were ...... back then."
He hesitated slightly, and then continued: "In a group photo somewhere, you see, he is standing in the back row, and I am next to him." ”
The old woman took the photo, looked at it for a long time, and finally held the photo to her chest and cried.
Lan Bo looked at the old woman with a confused expression, "Auntie, what's wrong with you?"
He looked around the yard, and the camera behind him hurriedly pulled in the lens and swept the small farm yard, except for a dog and a chicken and duck, there was a thick layer of snow.
"Where is the army?
Rambo looked at the old woman, "Isn't he at home?"
"He's gone!"
"Gone?"
Lan Bo's face changed rapidly, he had a bad premonition in his heart, and his voice trembled when he spoke, but before there was still hope of what happened, he asked eagerly, "Where did he go?"
The old woman sobbed, "Dead!"
Lan Bo was hit hard, his body shook slightly, and his face changed greatly, "Dead?"
He stood there and muttered, "Dead? Dead? How did you die?"
The old woman cried: "He who died of illness will die this summer!"
She returned the photo to Rambo: "They sprayed chemicals everywhere on the battlefield, and before they returned home, the army got cancer, and he was lying on the hospital bed, and even I could afford to hold him!"
Lan Bo suddenly covered his face and sobbed softly a few times, then gave the photo to the old woman, and stumbled out of the old man's house despite the old woman's retention.
As soon as he walked out of the doorway, his body suddenly paused, as if he remembered something, he reached out and took out a wallet from his pocket, took out almost all the money in it, and returned to the house and stuffed it to the old woman, and then he really left.
The last scene of this scene is the old woman leaning against the gate with a banknote in her hand, watching Lan Bo's figure disappear into the snowstorm in a daze, the picture is bleak and sad.
"Stop!"
Huang Botao ran to Dong Aimei very excitedly, and cocked his thumb, "Teacher Dong, you are this!
Dong Aimei said with a smile: "The really good acting skills are Xiao Guo, not me!"
She said curiously: "I heard that this kid is also from the same path, and he hasn't learned acting class for a day, how can he act so well?
Huang Botao said with a smile: "Guo Ye is a little different, he is good at acting, it is the grandfather who gives him food!
Dong Aimei also smiled: "Then if you say that, this kid seems to know everything, and this ancestor is too much!"
