Verse 280: False emptiness
“…… Within an hour, military aircraft from all over the world will unite to launch the largest air combat ...... in human history."
Duane listened to these words, his eyes looked at the multi-channel monitor in front of him, and his mouth was whispering, "Slow, slow......"
On multiple monitors, Leung can be seen standing on a truck with a walkie-talkie in his hand and speaking — that's what he just said — and he's surrounded by people who are surrounded by stars and moons. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Several of the images on the monitor are not frozen, but mostly slowly changing - the photographers are operating according to the plan made before the shoot starts - among them, Passage 4 is a frontal bust of Leung Ka-fai, which is also the main shot in the shooting schedule.
The shot of Passage 4 is Kang Junan in charge, and the "slow" that Duane said just now is what he said to him.
"Is it going to be slow?"
Kang Junan heard what Du An's words said in front of him, and muttered in a low voice, but his subordinates did not stop, and naturally slowed down, advancing more and more slowly.
Well, that's pretty much it.
Duane thought this as he looked at the Passage 4 screen, then turned his gaze away and went over several other screens.
From these pictures on the monitor, it can be seen that there are really a lot of people standing around Leung Ka-fai, and a rough count is definitely not less than a hundred.
In fact, two days ago, Duane was also exposed to a scene of more than 100 people - that is, the scene where one person faced 120 cars - but in that scene, Duane appeared as an actor, and those people were all sitting in the car, as long as they drove together, so the difficulty was not very great, and today this scene is different.
This is a scene where more than 100 people are filming on the spot, exposing their faces and bodies in front of the camera.
The group play of more than 100 people was an unprecedented challenge for Duane, so he asked for help from Xi Jin. Well, it doesn't seem to work very well......
"That's a bit of,"
Duane pointed to aisle 2, where there were several group performers staring blankly in a daze, not at all looking at each other as he had requested.
His fingers ran over No. 1 and No. 3 again, "Here, here, it's all a problem." The most outrageous thing is here," he pointed back and stopped on the left side of passage 1, only to see that in that place, there were three ensembles laughing and laughing at each other, and they didn't know what was happy.
Du An turned his head, looked at Xie Jin and frowned, and said, "This is too outrageous, isn't it?"
Xie Jin asked rhetorically: "So you also know that there is difficulty?" As he spoke, he straightened his fingers and counted them, "Children's plays, animal plays, and large group scenes are the three most difficult scenes, and no director dares to say that he can shoot these three scenes perfectly, they are all drawn a line, just cross the line, just like your current scene," he pointed to the monitor and said: "You are quite simple, don't look at the crowd, but they are all backgrounds, and you will know what a headache is when you encounter that kind of real group play!"
Du An's eyes rolled, and he didn't know what to say, but Xie Jin comforted him again, and said, "Just pay attention when you cut it." ”
Duane didn't speak.
Of course, he knew that he just had to pay attention to it when he cut it, and he even cut it in his head while looking at it, and made sure that it could be cut, so he didn't stop.
He just felt that the performance of these group performances was a bit strange, which opened his eyes - working like this, no wonder he could only be a group performer.
Duane is interested in group dramas, but Xie Jin's point is different from him - Xie Jin is more interested in other things.
"By the way, what you just said to Leung Jiahui was all your own thoughts?"
Du An nodded without even looking at Xie Jin, "Hmm." ”
Xie Jin was silent, and his eyes were a little strange.
Du An's "fooled" Leung Jiahui just now and he came back not long ago, so he heard a lot, including the theory of reality and soil, the truth and falsehood of feelings, the theory of reform and opening up, and the theory of the beauty and ugliness of characters that sounded very nonsensical.
Won his heart.
"I've also made ...... main theme movies"
Xie Jin slowly spoke, ""Red Women's Army, have you seen it?"
Du An didn't even glance at Xie Jin, his eyes kept on the monitor, and nodded.
Of course, he knows that "Red Detachment of Women" is Xie Jin's masterpiece and a main theme movie.
He also knew that this movie had set a record of 600 million moviegoers in China.
Of course, some of them are political screenings, but even after removing this part of the factors, the number of moviegoers is extremely terrifying, and if you put it now, it is simply a matter of minutes to surpass "Hero", which is the first box office today, and the gap in it is a good explanation of why Xie Jin is the undisputed leader, but Zhang Yi can only be one of the contemporary bigwigs.
While the two directors were chatting, Leung Ka-fai on the other end performed dedicatedly.
“…… The word human beings has taken on a new meaning at this moment......"
Xie Jin suddenly smiled and asked, "How do I feel that many of what you said to Leung Jiahui before were alluding to "Red Detachment of Women"?"
After speaking, he looked at Duane.
Duane still didn't look at him, but said: "It's not an allusion to "Red Detachment of Women", but because "Red Detachment of Women" is the source. ”
"In those days, 'Red Detachment of Women' was a good movie, a classic, but because it was a classic, it was bad. After that, many people imitated this classic, imitated its bridges, imitated its sacrifices, and at the same time imitated its face and its false emptiness, and they didn't realize that there was a word called the limitations of the times. ”
Duane paused here and shook his head, "Or they are unwilling to be conscious, in the final analysis, it is a matter of planned economy and market economy." ”
Xie Jin stopped talking, and the two looked at the monitor together.
“…… We can no longer kill each other over small things, but unite for the common good, which is the power to survive ......"
On the monitor, Leung Ka-fai's emotions gradually came up.
This is also the aspect of the dispute between the two before: Liang Jiahui is disgusted with the main theme to create the character of the fake big empty, and wants a humanized interpretation, Du Ane has always agreed, but here, he suddenly asked Liang Jiahui to add material, which is unacceptable to Liang Jiahui.
However, he was eventually persuaded by Duane.
"In fact, the current set of the main theme is not without merit, for example, the way you made this kind of character building,"
Du An's finger pointed to the monitor, and he didn't care that Xie Jin was next to him, and said directly: "It's disgusting to see too much,"
Disgusting? Xie Jin couldn't cry or laugh.
Duane continued: "But sometimes I use it and it works pretty well. It's like salt, if you put too much, you will panic, and if you put too little, you will not be happy. ”
After he finished speaking, he shut up, Xie Jin also fell silent, and the two looked at the monitor again.
“…… Maybe providence so, today is Liberation Day again. Sixty years ago today, we drove out the invaders and liberated most of China, and now we are fighting for freedom again......"
Passage 4 was still advancing at an extremely slow pace, and I saw Liang Jiahui on the monitor say this, his hand holding the car walkie-talkie tightened, his mouth pursed, his eyes blinked, he took a light breath, and continued: "...... Only this time, we are no longer fighting against persecution, but for survival, for the right to live......"
Duane raised his right hand, clenched his fist, and slowly stabbed upward.
“…… If we can win, October 1, it will no longer be just a Chinese festival,"
Leung Ka-fai paused, and the No. 4 passage continued to advance, which had changed from a half-length view to a close-up of his face.
"It is the day when the people of the whole world take the oath together!"
Leung Ka-fai received Du An's signal, and his mood continued to rise.
"We're not going to take it easy!"
Duane's hand was raised a little higher.
"We won't let anyone slaughter us!"
Keep elevating.
"We're going to survive!"
"We'll get through it!"
Duane's hand was fully extended, a pillar of optimus.
"This is the last war, and we will triumph and celebrate this Liberation Day together!"
Several of the field attendants distributed in different corners of the venue immediately made big gestures, and at their signals, the group performers in the venue began to cheer excitedly, calling everything.
Duane doesn't care about the specific content of their calls, anyway, this is definitely going to be done later, and the scene is enough.
Of course, now it's just a whole scene, and the specific details will have to be filmed slowly.
After waiting for a few more seconds, he felt that the material was almost out, and then Du An gave an order, "Stop! Brother Hui, come here!"
After calling Leung Jiahui over, Du An's admonishment: "You did a good job just now, but you seem to have gone too far, let's try again to see if it can be better? This time you just put it away a little bit......
Many times the movie is originally a grinding thing, just like forging a weapon, beating it repeatedly little by little, and finally it can come out with good things, and there are still a few that are formed at one time.
After communicating for a while, after making sure that Leung Jiahui understood, Du An's put him back, and when the group actors returned to their positions under the arrangement, they started the second filming.
"Let's go!"
“…… Within an hour, military aircraft from all over the world will unite to launch the largest air combat ...... in human history."
Leung Ka-fai resumed his speech, this time at the height of his emotional starting point that made Duane feel comfortable.
This old actor is at ease, his professional skills are excellent, and he should be able to pass this time.
Thinking of this, Du An's also took the time to take today's shooting schedule and read it: if this time is over, the next scene is that the chairman played by Leung Ka-fai will personally go into battle and board the plane, ready to fight aliens.
Xie Jin also saw it next to him, and he naturally knew about the plot after reading the script, so he couldn't help but shake his head, "The chairman personally drove the plane to the front line...... It's unrealistic. You just said that I was a fake big empty, and now you yourself are fake big empty. ”
Duane knew that Xie Jin had always disagreed with this, and had mentioned it to him before.
He happened to attack Xie Jin's "Red Women's Army" just now, and he didn't mind saying a little more, so he said: "The fake big empty here is different from your fake big empty, your fake big empty is the fake big empty of the character's emotions, and the fake big empty here is the fake big empty in the rules of behavior, and the concepts of the two are different." Emotions are the foundation, they can't be moved, they must be real, but the rules of behavior are appearances, they are side matters, and it doesn't hurt to move for the needs of the plot and theme. ”
"I admit that there are drawbacks to this, but at the same time it brings benefits, and it has more benefits than disadvantages. Profit outweighs loss, and that's why it's worth it. ”
Xie Jin's expression was a little stunned, and he sighed after a while: "Anyway, I can't mean you." Sometimes I really don't know if you're a director or a businessman, your way of thinking is so peculiar that it can be quantified in a commercial way. ”
The first lesson of many directors is to strive for perfection even if they can't achieve perfection, and in their education system, film is an art, but Duane is very different - this man simply treats film as a simple deal.
Xie Jin even felt that Duane did not have the slightest awe of the art of film in his heart.
But this peculiarity of Duane may be just what he needs. (To be continued.) )
