Chapter 131: Explosive Power

In the blink of an eye, it was April 11th, and the filming of the crew was surprisingly smooth, and now more than half of all the scenes have been completed. Under normal circumstances, it would take another seven or eight days to complete the shooting, which is far faster than expected.

Now what is going to be filmed is a scene where Chen Wei took the band to participate in the competition, the actor Zhou Xu was late, and Chen Wei wanted to replace Zhou Xu. This scene is a turning point in the movie, and it is the beginning of the conflict between Zhou Xu and Chen Wei.

Now the whole band is waiting in the lounge, and the two substitutes Huang Bo and Wang Yun are also sitting on the side. The props team arranged the room, and the lighting team arranged the light under the guidance of Zhao Fei.

Filming officially began.

The first shot of this scene was shot quite smoothly, and after three shots, Zhang Ran stood up and clapped his hands: "Okay, this shot has passed, and the next shot is ready!"

The crew quickly moved and began to prepare for the next shot.

Filming soon began.

In the camera, Feng Yuan said indifferently: "The chief is mine, I can give it to whoever I want!" As he spoke, he glanced at Jay Chou's bag: "And I won't give anyone who doesn't bring a face drumstick!"

Zhou Jielun glanced at his bag, found that his drumstick was not there, thought about it for a while, understood what was going on, and immediately said: "I forgot it in the car, I'll look for it immediately!" After speaking, Zhou Jielun turned around and prepared to go back to find the drumstick.

But Feng Yuan didn't give him a chance, and said coldly: "We have already started to warm up!"

When Jay Chou heard this, he was a little angry: "Can't I use Li Ming's drumstick?"

Feng Yuan said coldly: "Zhou Xu, you are no longer the chief!"

When Jay Chou heard this, he retorted loudly: "Why am I not the chief? You can't do this!"

Feng Yuan's face sank, and he raised his voice: "Can't?"

Jay Chou said loudly: "Yes, no!"

Feng Yuan was stunned, he was the controller of the band, and his authority was unquestionable, and he scolded loudly: "Is your brain in water? When is it your turn to teach me a lesson? Who do you think you are? Believe it or not, I'll tell you to fuck off right away!"

In the original "Burst Drummer", the devil teacher Fletcher has a lot of swear words, and he runs down three ways at every turn. If it is like the original version, the movie will definitely not pass the review, so Chen Wei is not a swear word, but a teacher who speaks particularly badly. He often mocks his students by saying things like "I found Darwinian evolution wrong in you", the kind of teacher who can make people vomit blood in frustration.

However, there is one thing that Feng Yuanyi is the same as the original, and that is explosiveness. Feng Yuanyi himself is a particularly explosive actor, and he also presented his own special perfection in this scene, so that many people at the scene were shocked.

Zhou Jielun was intimidated by Feng Yuan's stunned momentum, obviously stunned, and then retorted loudly: "I fought for the chief!"

"Stop!" Zhang Ran called a halt. Zhou Xu has been under Chen Wei for so long, he has long been used to Chen Wei's way of speaking, it won't be this kind of reaction, this shot must be reshot.

This was just a small mistake, and Zhang Ran didn't think about it, but he didn't expect that this was just the beginning of the disaster.

"Jaelen, the accent of the lines is wrong. One more time!"

"Jielun, your position as chief was obtained by sacrificing a lot of precious and important things, and now you are going to be snatched away by others, can you accept it? You have to question him loudly!

"You have to question Chen Wei's decision, all those who want to steal your position as chief are your enemies. In the face of the enemy, you are too gentle. Do it all over again!"

"One more time. ”

This shot was filmed until half past eleven, and the life producer came to inform Zhang Ran that the dining car had arrived, but it still didn't pass.

Zhang Ran wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked at the crew members, and saw that everyone was a little tired. So he smiled: "That's all here this morning, everyone eats first!" He saw that Zhou Jielun's face was a little ugly, so he patted his shoulder and comforted: "Don't take it to heart." Do you remember the first day of shooting? We also took a lot of shots, so we'll just come back in the afternoon!"

Zhou Jielun's face looked better, and he smiled reluctantly: "I'm fine." You're right, I'm sure I'll be able to do well in the afternoon. ”

After lunch, Zhang Ran pulled Zhou Jielun aside to discuss how to play this scene.

In the morning, Zhang Ran had already analyzed the psychology of the characters for Jay Chou many times, and Jay Chou's performances were all re-enacted according to what Zhang Ran said, but his performance was too bland, and he always gave people the feeling of being out of breath.

This is related to Jay Chou's personality, he is introverted and relatively calm, so his acting is a bit lukewarm and lacks strong emotions. This is just the opposite of Nicholas Tse, Nicholas Tse's emotions are more intense, but he can't control it, his emotions are released, and sometimes he can't take it back, which makes people feel excessive.

Zhang Ran looked at Jay Chou's slightly uneasy face: "Jie Lun, there is actually no problem with your performance, the main thing is that your emotions are not in place." I need to see a force in the characters, a ruthlessness, a ruthlessness that can do anything for the sake of the chief. You think, Zhou Xu gave up his girlfriend in order to play drums, and his relationship with others is also very bad, so it can be said that music is everything to him. Such a person, whoever threatens his chief, is his enemy. This energy is very important, and without this energy, the character's behavior cannot be trusted!"

Zhou Jielun nodded: "I know that he is desperate for the position of chief, giving up his girlfriend, and conflicting with his family, so even if he is facing the teacher Chen Wei, he dares to refute." This part is going to be very powerful!"

Zhang Ran said: "Yes, that's it." Each of us will have times when our emotions are particularly intense, and even times when our emotions are out of control, and in the same way, we will definitely have people in our hearts who we particularly hate, or even hate. You put yourself in this scene, imagine that the person standing in front of you is not Teacher Feng Yuanyi, but the person you hate the most, and then release that emotion!"

Zhou Jielun smiled bitterly: "I know, and I did the same." ”

Zhang Ran said: "But your emotions are not strong enough, it can only mean that you don't hate the person you are looking for enough, you think about it, and find a kind of thing you really hate from your heart, and you want him to die." ”

Zhou Jielun nodded and began to think.

At half past one in the afternoon, filming resumed, but Jay Chou's performance still didn't work. He has expressions and emotions, and his voice is loud, but his emotions are not enough, he lacks enough explosiveness, and he is too bland.

The so-called explosive power simply means that emotions come when they are spoken. If an actor's acting lacks explosiveness, then the whole scene will be as bland and tasteless as boiled water.

Almost all the acclaimed performances in film history are often inseparable from the explosiveness of the actors. For example, Maggie Cheung's crying scene of recognizing the corpse in "Sweet Honey", and the laughter she accidentally met with Liming at the end, the two scenes, one crying and laughing, one happy and one sad, all showed strong explosiveness.

Explosive power can be divided into two types, dynamic burst and static burst. The dynamic burst has external publicity, which is not difficult, but the difficult thing is the static explosion, there is no external action, not externalization, but the explosive power of inner emotions. For example, in the scene where the heroine Ida is cut off by her husband in "The Piano Lesson", Ida is mute, she can't speak after her fingers are cut off, there are no exaggerated movements, and there is no exaggerated expression, but the audience can really feel the anger and injustice in her heart through her eyes, this is the charm of static outbursts, and the power that comes out from the heart.

Jay Chou's current problem is that his heart is too calm and he can't release his inner emotions, and the whole scene lacks passion and is particularly tepid.

This scene was filmed until it was almost dark, and it still didn't happen. When Zhang Ran announced that today's filming was over, not only Zhang Ran's expression was solemn, but everyone in the crew had a solemn expression.

Zhang Ran thought that the situation might get better after a good night's rest, but he didn't expect that after a whole day of filming the next day, the effect was still not ideal. Zhang Ran even found a bottle of Erguotou and let Zhou Jielun drink two sips, trying to make him let go of himself, but it still had no effect.

On the third day, the situation still did not improve, and after the filming, Jay Chou not only couldn't get emotional, but the whole performance became more and more exaggerated. At the end of work, Jay Chou's assistant angrily asked Zhang Ran, Jie Lun obviously acted very well, why can't you pass?

Zhang Ranzheng was annoyed that he couldn't get over the play, and your little assistant dared to point fingers at me, and he had the urge to scold at that time. Fortunately, at this time, Zhou Jielun came over, said "I'm sorry" to Zhang Ran, and then pulled the assistant away, otherwise it might really be quarreled on the spot.

This time Zhang Ran really felt the pressure, the movie couldn't make the effect he wanted, and what was even more terrifying was that he didn't have a good solution. He knew that filming like this would not have an effect, and announced that the crew would take a day off.

In the evening, Zhang Ran pulled the people from the director team to eat hot pot and called Feng Yuanyi too. Feng Yuanyi has been acting for more than ten years, and his understanding of acting is deeper than Zhang Ran's, maybe he can have any good suggestions.

Around the steaming hot pot, everyone came and went, staggered, hooked shoulders, drank happily, and was as enthusiastic as brothers and sisters.

After drinking for a while, the topic finally returned to the movie. Feng Yuan was stunned: "Jay Chou is the problem of the outbreak, in fact, he only needs to practice Grotowski's 32 warm-up movements such as kite pose, snake shape, and tiger pose, and he can reach the limit of his body." As long as a person can break through their physical and psychological limits, it is relatively easy for explosive power to come out. ”

Zhang Ran asked: "If he trains now, how long will it take for him to show his explosive power well?"

"I can't tell, it's about half a month. If you only let him do Tiger Training, he should be faster. ”

"Half a month is too long. Zhang Ran shook his head. It's not that he doesn't have a training method, and the use of masquerade practice can open Jay Chou's heart and show explosiveness, but it's almost half a month.

Feng Yuan was stunned: "The main reason is that he is too introverted, he is the kind of person who is particularly calm, and he hides many things in his heart and will not tell you." If he doesn't tell you, there are many things that you can't start at all, and it's really difficult to train this kind of person's explosiveness!"

Zhang Ran sighed, he didn't expect Jay Chou's problem to be so serious, he thought that through the replacement method, his emotions could be channeled. If he had known that this would be the case, he would definitely have asked Feng Yuanyi to focus on explosive training in that half a month.

Feng Yuanyi had no better way, and the others had no way at all, and everyone present fell silent. The film is already halfway filmed, and it is impossible to change the leading role, and if you train for fifteen days and shoot again, the cost will increase a lot.

Things are really troublesome!

After being silent for a long time, Zhang Ran raised his head and said in a deep voice: "There is no other way, but to open his heart in the most violent way, and then consolidate it with tiger exercises!"

If there was another way, Zhang Ran was reluctant to do it, but there was really no better way now.
