Chapter 960: The Beginning
The lens of a movie is limited, the time is limited, how to express more meaning in an orderly manner in these limitations.
It's a deep lesson.
According to the Chinese dialect, words have been exhausted and the meaning is endless, which is a skill in expression.
Take a shot, show the audience a shot, and they're like, oh, that's it, when they see the tenth minute.
Shoot the second shot and put it in the 40th minute as a comparison, and the audience will immediately remember the previous picture when they see it, and they will sigh, this Forrest Gump is really not a thing / This Forrest Gump is really black / This Forrest Gump is so well packaged.
That's what the camera setup is trying to achieve.
And if you want to achieve the greatest effect, it is undoubtedly to make the contrast between the two strong enough.
Gan Jing has not studied directing systematically, and the only film directed independently, "Only You", is not only a ticket game, but also a remake, but this also has such benefits, he is always thinking about what kind of experience he wants to have when he sits in the audience.
In other words, what kind of picture should be there to make the audience feel that they are attentive.
You have found so many stars to put on the screen for a "Governor from Heaven", do I have to buy tickets?
Not really.
What kind of chemistry you celebrities can exert is the highlight.
What could be better than dancing, pleasure, and intense images to stir up the audience's mood at the beginning?
When Hugo laughed out loud and pushed the girl in his arms into the pool,
When Zhou Xun was drunk and tilted his head to dance to the rhythm of the music,
When Scarlett's eyes discharged radio waves, and when she dragged Schwarzenegger past Forrest Gump, who was talking, and kissed wantonly,
A picture of Vanity Fair's ecology popped out of the screen.
As soon as the audience first enters the theater and sees such a scene, they may wonder, hey, Hu Ge looks honest, is this the case in reality? Is Zhou Xun an alcoholic? Is Scarlett and Forrest Gump really related?
It's okay to have such associations, and then continue to watch, the scene switches away from the banquet, and the story will give a plausible answer.
For half a day in the afternoon, Gan Jing has been communicating with Zhou Shen to discuss, this film is not only to be released in China, but also to compete with other films in the United States, so it doesn't mean that the style must be bad, it's just that foreigners can understand it?
Gan Jing persuaded director Zhou Shen from this angle, so the previous footage was decided, and those will be used as alternatives, and now the scenes need to be reshot.
Domestic actors have no objections, but foreign actors, this is up to Gan Jing to communicate.
Fortunately, there are enough schedules, some of whom are easy to talk to, and some who are very related, so this matter was decided.
However, tonight's first shot was at the end of the banquet, and Schwarzenegger suggested that Gan Jing could try a new challenge in another field, and he had lost his fun in Hollywood.
The protagonist is a little surprised by this, but after asking his agent, the former actress, he readily agrees, and the next day, he immediately announces that he is running for governor.
This setting is naturally due to the exaggeration of film art, otherwise, it would have taken a whole film just to explain the motives of the characters.
In the evening, Gan Jing and Schwarzenegger and Zhou Xun corrected the words, and then he didn't eat too much at dinner so as not to affect his state.
This shot is quite demanding for Forrest Gump and Zhou Xun, but Schwarzenegger only needs to show drunkenness and a little provocation - although it is an overhead background, the audience in front of the screen will know that this one has been a governor.
This is also unintentional.
The movie is made for the audience, and many shots can borrow this sense of dislocation.
At half past seven in the evening, there was no problem with the light, the machine and scene were arranged, and Forrest Gump, Schwarzenegger, and Zhou Xun finished putting on makeup.
The three of them didn't make too many adjustments, and they just started shooting on time.
Zhou Shen stood in front of the monitor with headphones on, surrounded by onlookers.
I have to say that even though Zhou Shen has had several such shooting experiences, every time he is surrounded by these domestic celebrities, he still feels a little nervous in his heart.
Click.
After playing the board, he quickly found a good viewing angle, and he also wanted to enjoy the performance.
In the courtyard near the side of the door, Gan Jing held a goblet and shook slightly, a smile wrinkled at the corner of his eyes, and he looked at the direction of the pool with a relaxed expression.
Zhou Xun sat on a bench not far away, her toes cocked, and she swayed to the rhythm of the non-existent music - the soundtrack would be added in the later stage for the live sound.
Schwarzenegger staggered into the camera with a wine glass in a disheveled suit and walked towards Forrest Gump.
"Hey, Forrest Gump, let's have some fun. Schwarzenegger threw up his neck and took a sip of his glass of wine and shouted exaggeratedly.
Gan Jing turned sideways slightly, his eyes were on his face, where there was a clear lip print, and he said with a little disdain: "Arnold, you are drunk." ”
Immediately, he sighed slightly: "What else do you need to have fun? ”
"Oh, our Hollywood superstars are tired, our big king is tired?" Schwarzenegger was emphasizing Forrest Gump's identity in the movie, he staggered two steps, rudely patted the next week's shoulder, and continued to say drunkenly, "Did you hear that?" Forrest Gump said he was tired, hey, I won't get tired. ”
"Of course you don't get tired, big man. Zhou Xun was the most familiar with the smiling appearance, and said a little hoarsely, "You are not Forrest Gump." If you have been harvesting the global box office, if you have been liked by fans, if you have been chased by the media, you will also get tired of it. ”
Schwarzenegger's drunkenness seemed to be provoked, and he said a little brainlessly and angrily: "Do you think I haven't been?"
Gan Jing was on the steps, he showed a silent smile, and said to Schwarzenegger: "Arnold, you haven't been, you never have." Perhaps, you will have one in the future, but I'm really tired of it now. ”
Forrest Gump's eyes roamed the entire courtyard, this should be a scene of making up for a wine banquet and having fun, although there is no now, but his eyes are in place.
Schwarzenegger was completely enraged: "Are you me off? Hey, man, I said, do you think you're getting everything? Can you be a councilman? Can you be a governor? Can you be a ...... general."
He burped.
"Boring and boring. Gan Jing replied succinctly, as if giving alms.
"No, no, no, politics is the most romantic challenge for men, and power is the sweetest wine for men. Schwarzenegger laughed and said, "Forrest Gump, you should try it." I bet you can't. ”
The drunken spirit completely hit his brain, and he staggered and fell after taking two steps, still saying in his mouth: "Go and chase the power, you can't chase it...... That's the biggest challenge. ”
Gan Jing raised his eyebrows, and his eyes met Zhou Xun on the bench, full of tacit understanding.
