Chapter 436: Act I, Run!
Canton Province, a manor. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
There are many scenes in the manor, including Ah Niu's experience when he was a child, the experience of living quietly with Ah Niu, the experience of Ah Niu being alone, and the days when Ah Niu and his mother were together.
In order to make the set more in line with that era, a group of old professors in the play followed the crew to shoot.
Maybe these old actors like to be more serious, and they will veto the slightest dissatisfaction, which makes the crew difficult at the same time, but also makes the film more exciting.
This time, it was no longer a child's role that started first.
Wang Meng's previous thought was that children were the most difficult group of people to deal with. So...... Always put the child's role first, so that it can solve the trouble at one time.
But this time I don't think so.
The two young actors are very good, and their parents are quite open-minded, supporting their children's preferences and optimistic about their children's future.
"I think so, and several of you also know that no matter how talented a child is, there must be a learning stage. Just like a piece of jade, it can't be a shining gemstone without carving.
I think that two children can follow our crew and learn the performances of the actors in the play, so that after learning for a month or two, maybe the impact on the children will be greater. After Wang Meng finished speaking, he looked at Zhang Zifeng's parents and Sun Tianyu's parents with an inquiring eye.
Several parents thought about it and felt that it was feasible, and they believed in Wang Meng's vision.
Wang Meng told several people more than once that he was very optimistic about the future of his two children.
"Okay, according to what Director Wang said. Zhang Zifeng's mother said.
"Okay. Sun Tianyu's mother also agreed.
The two fathers seem to be dispensable, a little bit of a sluggish husband, listen to their wives.
Saying this, Wang Meng breathed a sigh of relief, and finally got it.
It's not that he's idle, but because he cherishes it too much and doesn't want to make a mistake.
The first scene was filmed in a very classic scene, Jing Jing (Jenny) and Ah Niu (Forrest Gump) lived for a while, and on a quiet morning, quietly left.
After waking up, Ah Niu's eyes did not have any emotion, and a kind of emptiness hung on his face.
On the rocking chair at the door, Ah Niu gently stroked the hat, which was the one he brought with him and the captain Lin Aiguo when they started a shrimp fishing boat together.
Ah Niu is a nostalgic person, maybe it's the encounter in this life, maybe it's the persistence in his character. He likes to follow a peaceful life.
On this morning of his quiet departure, he began to run for more than three years, running without purpose.
As I said before, leaving quietly at this moment is when Forrest Gump's faith is lost, which makes him very dazed.
Maybe it's his mind that can't understand why this is happening?
A smart person has a smart solution, and the best way for a person like him to find is to run.
For this scene, in the middle of the night, the crew began to arrange, just for a beam of sunshine, that beam of dawn sunshine.
Huang Bo's head shape has been shaved flat, and in terms of makeup and styling, DreamWorks does not lack any resources, and it is perfect.
"Attention to all units, lighting, photography, actors, prepare for ......" Wang Meng started his work again, the work of a director.
Holding a megaphone and wearing a very earthy director's hat, sometimes he does like that feeling.
"The lights are ok. Photography OK, no problem with the actors in place!"
"Okay! Listen to my command...... the first scene, the first time, the first act of "The True Story of Ah Niu". Eksh ......"
The movie begins.
The camera began to focus, and Huang Bo, who was sitting in a rocking chair, instantly entered the state.
On the morning of dawn, the sun is not dazzling at all, and belongs to the gentlest side of the sun.
The green foliage and grass are a distant landscape, and the white manor style is a closer outpouring, and the face of Ah Niu is reflected in the lens.
The reason why it's a side-mounted shot, rather than a frontal shot, obviously has a deep meaning here.
If the feature film is pulled back half a minute, it is a shot of Ah Niu sitting in the living room. Where is the positive confusion and confusion.
And here it's the side.
It seems that the director doesn't want fans to see Forrest Gump's expression clearly, and everyone needs to experience it, rather than intuitively feel it.
This may be the magic of using the lens to understand the story.
It is said that the eyes are the window of the soul, and the face can also show a person's mood.
Here, fans are not allowed to see the front of Ah Niu, only the fans' own feelings. Often, what you experience is a little more profound than what you see with your eyes.
Looking at Huang Bo in the monitor, Wang Meng seemed to bring in a kind of loneliness after leaving quietly.
Obviously, Huang Bo's display and the combination of the lens are perfect.
In the shot, Huang Bo moved and slowly picked up the hat in his hand.
The calmness that belongs to Ah Niu can be vividly shown through the hand that the camera is aimed at.
Some people say that a good actor's eyes are a play, but in fact, even more, after a good actor and the environment are perfectly integrated, an action is also a play.
Ah Niu put it on his head and paused for a few seconds.
I don't know what he's thinking? Because Ah Niu must not know what he is thinking.
Maybe the only thing he thought about was running!
This instinct passed down from human ancestors is the first instinct after Ah Niu is confused.
Maybe you can figure it out when you run, run, run, or ignore the scenery along the way, and ignore the passers-by along the way, just looking for an answer.
Is the answer the result?
Maybe for Ah Niu: yes!
The camera zoomed out, and Ah Niu began to run, from near to far, just like that......
"Click!"
Wang Meng seemed to be a little invested just now, and it wasn't until Huang Bo ran far away that he shouted "click".
"Yes, keep one more, this one is over. Wang Mengdao.
After hearing this, Huang Bo and the others breathed a sigh of relief.
After that, a few more were saved, and the scene was over.
The actors who got together were all praising Huang Bo for his lead and good start.
Don't underestimate this simple scene, they understand that such a shot is not easy to handle.
Here, perhaps it is no longer the camera to match the actors, but the actors to integrate into the camera.
As everyone knows, integration is the biggest problem.
"Do you have any ideas?" the staff was arranging the next scene, and Wang Meng asked a few leading actors.
But after asking, no one answered, and in the end, Xu Fan was the first to stand up.
"I have something I don't understand, I won't run like a cow, I will choose to sleep, and I will sleep if I can't sleep. I might be able to figure it out a lot if I sleep for a few days. ”
"Oh, it's a good solution!" Wang Meng smiled, "What about you?"
Wang Meng asked Fan Bingbing, Zhang Jiayi and others.
"I might be eating and shopping! When I don't understand something, or I'm sad, I'll eat and shop. Fan Ye said.
"Borrow wine to kill your sorrows!" Zhang Jia translated, and then smiled and said: "However, I found that Ah Niu's method is very good, and I will choose to run in the future." ”
"Hehe......" everyone laughed.
can understand what Wang Meng means, and also know that Wang Meng reminds them all the time to blend into the camera.
This is the responsibility of the director, and there is no such thing as pretending.
I didn't ask for it before, but I don't need to!
At that time, it was the camera that cooperated with the actors. Now, it's the actors who blend into the camera.
Thankfully, anyway, the first shot was fired.
Huang Bo's painstaking tempering did not disappoint him.
