Chapter 340 of the text Bed Scene

Next chapter

"Time Warrior" won the North American championship for two consecutive weeks and won the global weekly box office championship, which made Zhang Ran's reputation reach its peak in China.

For a time, various labels such as "the hope of Chinese films", "genius director", and "magical director" were attached to Zhang Ran's body, making Zhang Ran's reputation soar to the sky, even in the face of Zhang Yimou.

However, Zhang Ran did not get carried away by the media's praise, he knew what he wanted. He also knows the truth that "the wood show will be destroyed by the forest wind", the greater the fame of a director, the higher the audience's expectations of you. As long as there is a slight miss, it will inevitably attract verbal criticism. is like Zhang Yimou's "Hero", if it was filmed by an unfamous young director, would he still be scolded so badly?

Therefore, "The Aviator" cannot fail, and it is the most important thing to shoot "The Aviator" well.

At this moment, it is already night, and the crew of "The Aviator" is still nervously busy, and now they are going to shoot a bed scene.

Zhang Ran doesn't have a special affection for bed scenes, and of course he won't scoff at them, like Yoji Yamada, I don't shoot violence and nudity. Filming has to be based on actual needs, and some movie bed scenes are a must. For example, there are six bed scenes in "Lust and Caution", and these six bed scenes are six confrontations, and the transformation process of the characters' psychology can be seen through the six bed scenes. If you take it out, the transformation of the characters is not credible. On the contrary, the bed scenes of some movies are added by force, and removing them has no effect on the movie. The bed scene of "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" was added by Zhang Weiping who insisted on Zhang Yimou, for the convenience of hype later.

Nowadays, society is impetuous, and there are too many movies that use nude shots and bed scenes as gimmicks to hype, and words like "kiss" and "maximum scale" are used at every turn, as if they will not be promoted without the bed.

Of course, the bed speculation scene is not a patent in China, and Harvey started by playing this. In the early days of Miramax's existence, Harvey bought a lot of European art films with nude shots, and he cut out these nude shots and made them into trailers to attract audiences. However, now Harvey has made his career bigger and stronger, playing tall things like the Oscars, and pediatrics like bed scenes have long been out of play.

Zhang Ran: The scene they are going to shoot today is that after Liu Jiao and Qiao Zhengfei broke up, they were going to marry the teacher played by Huang Lei. However, she still loved Qiao Zhengfei in her heart, and one night not long before the wedding, she found Qiao Zhengfei and handed herself over to him.

It is said that it is a bed scene, but in fact there are only kissing scenes, and the later scenes are all performed through guò empty shots. To put it simply, this scene is mainly divided into three parts, Qiao Zhengfei and Liu Jiao kiss, and then press Liu Jiao to the bed, and then the camera switches, the camera focuses on a painting about an airplane on the wall, and then there is a large panorama of the single dormitory, Liu Jiao walks down from the upstairs and walks out of the camera.

This scene is very important for the film, Zhang Ran wants to shoot beautifully, and he requires that the texture of the skin must be warm, beautiful, and sexy. In order to set up the ideal lighting, Zhao Fei went all out, got some 200w low color temperature lamps, and then used backlight to make a contrast to capture the reflection on the skin.

Zhang Ran and Zhang Jingchu came back with makeup, Zhao Fei and they were still setting up, and the two of them sat on the side and chatted. Zhang Ran took a breath, patted his chest, and said exaggeratedly: "Oops, I'm so nervous!"

Zhang Jingchu couldn't help but roll her eyes: "Nervous, will you be nervous?"

Zhang Ran said very seriously: "Of course, this is my first kiss!"

Ning Hao and the others all laughed, they could say this kind of thing, and their cheeks were too thick. Zhang Jingchu couldn't help laughing: "You fell in love with a little girl in the first year of junior high school, and you kissed for the first time, do you want to be ashamed!"

"It was my first on-screen kiss, and it was the first time I had done something like this in front of the camera, so I was really unaccustomed to it. Zhang Ran smiled and said, "You'll have to take care of me in a while, senior!"

Zhang Jingchu was speechless: "It's the first time I'm good!"

The preparations for filming were quickly completed, and Zhang Ran and Zhang Jingchu came to the acting area.

Ning Hao began to shout the password according to the standard process, and when the password of "turn on" sounded, the scene reporter immediately raised the field marker, stood in front of the camera, and waited for the password of "playing board" to sound, and he played the board.

Ning Hao glanced at Zhang Ran and shouted loudly, "Let's start!"

Zhang Ran and Zhang Jingchu walked into the dormitory, and after entering the door, Zhang Jingchu locked the door with her hand.

Zhang Ran was stunned, what are you doing locking the door? But before he could react, Zhang Jingchu had already hugged him. Zhang Ran was stunned, lowered his head and kissed her forehead. Zhang Jingchu looked up at Zhang Ran and slowly closed her eyes.

Zhang Ran hugged Zhang Jingchu's body tightly, looked at the big flickering eyes, and kissed the seductive lips.

Zhang Jingchu's hands began to return to Zhang Ran's body, her eyes closed slightly, and she responded vigorously. Immediately, Zhang Ran's body was on one side, and Zhang Jingchu was completely pressed down on the bed.

At this time, Zhao Fei pushed the camera of the No. 2 camera to the wall according to the prior design, and on the wall was a brand-new aircraft poster.

This is a typical empty shot, there is no character or no main image of the character in the empty shot, in the art film, usually with its symbolic, metaphorical and other functions, to strengthen the film's artistic expression and plot appeal, usually with the artistic effect of the montage. For example, when someone is extremely bored, you can take an empty shot of an ashtray full of cigarette butts and wisps of green smoke, and when a person is upset, you can take an empty shot of the rain hitting the screen window.

In Stephen Chow's "Kung Fu", there is an empty shot of a butterfly breaking out of its cocoon, symbolizing that Stephen Chow has gone through a lot of hardships and finally achieved a positive result. Zhang Ran's use of this empty shot with an airplane poster also has a strong symbolic meaning, symbolizing the separation between dreams and reality, and has a strong tragic meaning.

Although it was an empty shot, Zhang Ran and Zhang Jingchu's performances did not end. According to the plot of the movie, Qiao Zhengfei still had a trace of clarity in his heart at this time, and knew what his next move would mean, so Zhang Ran said the line: "Why are you doing this? I can't give you anything!"

Zhang Jingchu replied: "I don't need you to give me anything, I feel that I owe you, you should take her away, and I don't need you to take any responsibility, I am sorry for you." ”

Zhang Ran paused and said, "I don't want to hurt you, if I do it today, you will be unhappy in the future, you will hate me." ”

Zhang Jingchu's smile was a little bitter: "No, I know what I'm doing, take what belongs to you, if you don't take it, I will hate myself." ”

Zhang Ran's lips were imprinted on Zhang Jingchu's lips again, and they began to kiss again. If it was a director like Lou Ye, at this time Zhang Ran and the others should take off their clothes, strip naked, and then start hand-to-hand combat. However, "The Aviator" is expressed through guò empty shots, so naturally there will be no nudity elements, and only a little sound effect needs to be created.

Ning Hao felt that it was almost over, so he called it off.

Zhang Ran came to the back of the monitor, called up the picture just now and looked at it, there was nothing wrong with the empty shot, but he was not too satisfied with the kiss scene before the empty shot, turned his head to look at Ning Hao and Ding Sheng, and asked, "What do you think?"

Ning Hao shook his head and said, "I think you guys are too good at acting and cooperating too skillfully, which may be a bit of a problem." ”

Ding Sheng added: "It should be a little jerky. ”

Zhang Ran nodded slowly, Qiao Zhengfei and Liu Jiao are lovers, but the story happened more than ten years ago, when the social atmosphere was not too open. There is no particularly intimate act between them, and it should be jerky to do this kind of thing for the first time. But Zhang Ran and Zhang Jingchu are too familiar with each other, and they don't have the jerky feeling of performance. He stood up and shouted, "Do it all over again!"

Zhang Ran called Zhang Jingchu over, had a simple exchange, and the shooting started again.

However, after filming, Zhang Ran was still not satisfied, he and Zhang Jingchu were trying their best to express this jerky feeling, but this feeling was acted, and the traces of acting were a bit heavy and not natural enough. In fact, it is difficult to let a mature actor play that kind of jerky and innocent, just like letting an actor in his thirties play a girl in her teens, which often feels very contrived.

After that, Zhang Ran and they shot it twice, but it was still unsatisfactory. Ning Hao didn't have a trick at all, and said, "Why don't you forget it today, and shoot it tomorrow!"

Zhang Ran pondered for a few seconds, then stood up and said, "In this way, the people from the props team and the art team are all here." ”

Shooting resumes.

This time's shooting was different from the previous ones, this time there was a circle of people standing not far from Zhang Ran and Zhang Jingchu, and everyone's eyes were focused on Zhang Ran and them.

When a normal person hugs and kisses, there is a circle of onlookers around him, what does it feel like? I will definitely feel embarrassed and unnatural, even if I think of myself as a cheeky Zhang Ran.

When Zhang Ran hugged Zhang Jingchu, she felt that her body was a little stiff, and her gaze was firm, but there was a hint of shyness. If Zhang Ran was sitting behind the monitor now, he would definitely slap his thigh and applaud directly. But now that he was performing, he didn't forget his own work, and lowered his head and kissed Zhang Jingchu's forehead.

A hint of blush appeared on Zhang Jingchu's face, and she slowly closed her eyes.

Ning Hao sat behind the monitor, saw Zhang Ran and Zhang Jingchu's performances, and snapped his fingers happily: "Teacher Zhang still has a lot of methods, what he wants is this feeling, even if it is Tony Leung, these actors, may not be able to make such a real effect!"

Ding Sheng nodded lightly, as Zhang Ran's assistant director, his biggest gain was not to see how the Hollywood crew operates, but to know how the director should guide the actors: "If it were me, I really couldn't think of anything but scolding the actors." ”

Five minutes later, Zhang Ran announced that the shot had passed. He looked at the time, and it was past nine o'clock in the evening. Considering that everyone has been working overtime for filming in the past two days, everyone is a little tired, so they directly announced that today's filming is over and the crew was disbanded.

After the crew disbanded, the crew cleaned up the venue and returned to the hotel to rest. However, Zhang Ran, the director, couldn't rest, and pulled the members of the director team to discuss matters related to tomorrow's shooting in the conference room. By the time they were done, it was almost twelve o'clock, and most of them were already asleep.

When Zhang Ran returned to the room, Zhang Jingchu had just come out of the bathroom, wearing a white shirt and wiping her wet hair with a towel in her hand. She saw Zhang Ran come in, opened the bedside table, took out the hair dryer for Zhang Ran, sat on the edge of the bed and said, "Help me blow my hair!"

When Zhang Ran first started blowing Zhang Jingchu's hair, he blew it messily and blew out all kinds of messy hairstyles, but now that he has practiced it, he knows how to blow it without perming his hair, and how to blow his hair straighter and smoother. His fingers gently grasp the roots of the hair, bringing it to the palm of his hand, and then using a hair dryer to blow the hair in the palm of his hand. He smelled the fragrance coming from Zhang Jingchu's body, and felt that it was a very happy thing to blow her hair.

Zhang Jingchu enjoyed this gentleness very much, and her heart was full of sweet taste. But at this time, she saw the mobile phone on the bedside, and suddenly remembered the call she had just made from Li Xiaowan, so she said, "Zhang Ran, there is something I forgot to tell you." "Men's Wear" came to me two days ago and asked me to take a set of photos for them. What do you think?"
