Chapter 636: Genius Director

“CUT!” With a loud shout from the grandmaster, the entire shooting scene suddenly stopped. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The Grandmaster yelled at Tom. Hanks beckoned him over. The Grandmaster sat on the chair in front of the monitor and said with a frown, "Tom, I need you to show a silly feeling in this part of the performance, well, like a schoolboy telling a story to his classmates. You must know that Forrest Gump in the movie is a fool with an IQ of only 75, but he is not the kind of pure fool who doesn't understand anything, he still understands some things, he is not much stupider than normal people, he is just a little more mentally retarded than normal people. So I need you to play that feeling, not to play Forrest Gump as a real fool, you need to get the right amount of that, you know? ”

The film begins with difficulties at the beginning of filming, and the opening of the film is a scene where Forrest Gump comes to find Jenny with his luggage and a box of chocolates after learning the news of Jenny, and waits for the bus at the bus stop in this small town.

This scene is the opening scene of the whole movie, and it is also a key node throughout the whole movie, and this scene is almost all supported by Forrest Gump alone, so it is very, very important.

Obviously, this life of Tom. Hanks is really much worse than the Oscar winner in his previous life, although the two have the same name and surname and look very similar, but the two are really not on the same level.

In the "Forrest Gump" in his previous life, Tom. Hanks filmed this scene vividly, as if it was really a mentally handicapped person who was there to tell a story to the people waiting for the bus next to him in a form of self-talk, and the actor really showed the strength of the actor in this scene, so that a stupid Forrest Gump really stood in front of the audience.

"I'm sorry director, please give me a few minutes to adjust, I think, I'm about to catch that feeling."

The Grandmaster waved his hand and said loudly, "Rest for ten minutes, and the others be careful not to disturb Tom." ”

Ten minutes later, Tom. Hanks's performance is really much stronger, and it can be seen that this guy is still more talented in acting, and he works hard enough.

It's just that his enhancement is still not enough for the grandmaster, so this scene has been NG more than ten times before and after, from morning to afternoon. Hanks seemed to suddenly open his mind, and he suddenly found that feeling.

For the Grandmaster, as long as Tom can find the feeling of playing Forrest Gump, that's the most important thing. The Grandmaster was even prepared to spend three days dedicated to Tom looking for this feeling. But to the grandmaster's surprise, Tom. Hanks seemed to be really leaned over by Big Tom in his previous life at this moment, and suddenly he opened his mind and found the feeling that made the whole crew almost collapse.

And Tom, who found that feeling. Hanks, when I shoot it again, it really feels like it's not weaker than Big Tom in my previous life, which makes Grandmaster Le hate to look up to the sky and laugh a few times.

The protagonist found his senses, and the shooting speed suddenly became faster.

The next day, it took only one day to shoot all the scenes on the bus stop bench.

It's just that the grandmaster only shot so few shots, Li Maohua and assistant director Yu Jin expressed extreme puzzlement.

Follow the normal filming procedure, and shoot a lot of shots in order to have more material in the final edit. Generally speaking, a 120-minute film, which is two hours, requires at least 200 hours of footage, and then goes through rough and fine cuts to finally form a finished film.

According to the requirements of the script, although this section of the bus stop is very fragmented, the total length is only about ten minutes, but it is these ten minutes of footage, and the grandmaster, as the director, has to shoot at least about two hours of footage.

But the Grandmaster didn't shoot that much, but only shot about twenty minutes of footage before announcing the end of this shooting.

Although Li Maohua and Yu Jin expressed their confusion, the grandmaster did not give a detailed explanation, and just dismissed them all with "I am sure".

The Grandmaster couldn't tell them, "These shots I shot were based on the shots from the finished film in my previous life, and I didn't need to pick and choose in the later editing, I already shot the most suitable shot for this film!" ”

This kind of reason cannot be said by all means, and can only be prevaricated with the words "I am sure......

After filming at the bus station, the crew immediately moved to the suburbs of Savannah City, and in a place with extremely beautiful scenery in the suburbs, Li Maohua and the grandmaster had already selected a white two-story wooden villa.

When filming "Forrest Gump" in his previous life, the white two-story villa was built when the movie was filmed, and the grandmaster didn't want to spend money indiscriminately, so he directly found a villa that was similar to the movie in his previous life, and rented it directly.

There is also a large green area around this villa, and of course, the big tree that is quite important in the movie is also indispensable. And compared with the environment around the villa in the movie in the previous life, the environment around this villa is better, and it is more in line with Forrest Gump's home in the grandmaster's mind.

In and out of this villa, there are also a lot of shots. From the little Forrest Gump sitting outside the house listening to what happened between the mother and the principal in the house, to the footage of Little Forrest Gump and Little Jenny playing under that big tree, to everything that happened with Forrest Gump and Jenny in the villa after Forrest Gump grew up, to Forrest Gump and Jenny getting married, until Jenny died Forrest Gump raised Little Forrest Gump alone......

This villa is also an indispensable scene in the whole film, and its weight is not much worse than the one at the bus stop.

The scenes here are very fragmented, and if there were other directors, I am afraid that it would take at least half a month to shoot in this villa alone.

However, for the grandmaster who already had the finished footage in his head, there was not much difficulty in shooting here.

And in the past few days, because of the grandmaster's light-weighted and free-flowing control when he was guiding, he has completely established the authority of the director in the entire crew.

In the process of filming, whether it is for the actors, or framing, or the use of lenses, lighting settings, etc., the grandmaster is very comfortable. Even Li Maohua, the entire veteran producer, was amazed.

If he didn't know that this was the first time the Grandmaster had made a movie, he really thought that the Grandmaster was a great director who had made at least ten successful films.

In the position of director, the grandmaster is not unfamiliar at all, on the contrary, he really looks like an old director who has been immersed in it for many years.

For this kind of performance of the grandmaster, Li Maohua can only sigh that this is a talent, a talent that others can't match!

What is a genius director? Looking at the performance of the grandmaster in these days, you can see what a genius director is like.
