Chapter 322: Butterfly, First Shot
The set of "The Butterfly Effect". Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The lighting is nostalgic, and the seven-year-old protagonist Wan Yu is frolicking with a white puppy.
"Is there a problem with the dog?" asked Wang Meng.
"It's okay, Mr. Sun, the owner of the dog, said, this dog is very well-behaved and likes to play with people. Xiao Liu Hao has been cultivating a relationship with this puppy for several days, and the puppy knows him. Assistant director He Liqun said.
"That's good. Let's see if Yu Feihong is ready. ”
The mother of the protagonist played by Yu Feihong is wearing a maintenance worker's clothes, and the FAW mechanic at the scene is explaining.
"How about Brother Fei, no problem, right?" Wang Meng asked.
"No problem director. Yu Feihong said.
In order to be a good name, Wang Meng's mistake of loving the nickname was committed again, and he was called Yu Feihong Feige.
"Okay, let's get ready, and try to get it all at once. Wang Meng gave an order, and the whole crew looked busy.
The little actor Liu Hao was very nervous, but fortunately, this scene had been rehearsed for several days.
Sitting in the director's seat, he didn't play the role in person this time, Wang Meng was very relaxed this time, there were a lot of preparations in the early stage, and now there is no rush.
"The lighting, the camera preparation, the actors. ”
"Ike God!"
At the sound of an order, the crew began to get busy.
The puppy and Liu Hao (Wan Yu) began to frolice, and the little actor Liu Hao performed very well.
After a few seconds of playing, a child on a bicycle streaked by.
The camera zooms out, and Yu Feihong appears in the picture.
"Wan Yu!"
After Wan Yu heard the greeting, he immediately gave up playing with the dog and ran towards Yu Feihong.
The second shot begins to focus on Yu Feihong, who straightens up in front of the open front bonnet.
"We're going to be late. Little actor Liu Hao asked Yu Feihong.
Yu Feihong smiled softly, not forgetting his actions and said, "When do you start minding going to school on time?"
Liu Hao's expression was serious with a child's expression, and he leaned forward and said, "Parents should arrange the classroom on the day." ”
Yu Feihong was screwing in his hand at this time, raised his eyebrows and said, "Don't worry, we still have a lot of time." ”
After saying that, he began to walk backwards.
At this time, the key point came, and Wang Meng looked at the picture nervously.
And the little actor performed very well, and said with a somewhat lonely expression: "Will Dad come?"
"You know what the answer is. Yu Feihong is taking off his auto repair clothes.
"Can't he just come for a day?" said the little actor Liu Hao was a little thirsty, a child who wanted to see his father.
"You've asked this countless times. Yu Feihong smiled softly, but he couldn't hide his loneliness. And again, "It's too dangerous for him." ”
After all, the setting is that the child's father is a psychopath and is in a psychiatric hospital.
However, fans who see this don't know.
Here is this film, in addition to the beginning, after the male protagonist peeked at the videotape, another suspense.
The plot continues......
"But Nini's father will come. "The little actor is very serious and performs very well.
And with the words of supplication, he said—whose father will go......
"I'll go too, okay?" Yu Feihong behaved very well, and after taking off his clothes, he walked behind Liu Hao and said.
"Not bad. Liu Hao showed a disappointed expression.
It's important here, it's already good for a little actor to have such a performance. This one took a long time to come out, just for this first shot, and for this long shot.
Yu Feihong, who got into the car, started the car, and the camera focused on Liu Hao again, Liu Hao looked unwilling and helpless.
"Click!"
"Very well, this one is over,"
A round of applause rang out.
Everyone was scared, hoping to pass it once, but fortunately it didn't go wrong, and it was perfect.
"It was great. Wang Meng stepped down from the director's seat, came to the little actor and gave a thumbs up.
Young actors should give more encouragement.
Sure enough, Xiao Liu Hao was very happy after hearing this, and the parents on the side were also very excited, as guardians, it was necessary to accompany the shooting.
"Brother Fei, the performance is also very good, everyone keep up the good work and continue to maintain. Wang Mengdao.
I haven't been a professional director for a long time, and I've always swapped directors and actors, but this time it's easy to be a director, at least I don't need to be busy.
Next up is the shooting at the school gate.
The crew shifted positions, and it was very laborious to arrange a scene one by one, but it was inevitable that there was no way.
However, the careful Yu Feihong found an interesting thing.
"Wait a minute, you drive here and stop, remember the lines, then the teacher of the little protagonist will suddenly come over and knock on the car window, you have to look scared, the lines are fine. Wang Meng pointed to the place and explained to Yu Feihong.
"No problem Director Wang, the lines are no problem, as long as Xiao Liu Hao is okay, I have no problem. Yu Feihong said confidently.
"Well, that's good. Wang Meng nodded and smiled.
"That's right, Director Wang. Seeing that Wang Meng was leaving, Yu Feihong asked.
"What?"
"Director Wang, your line script is very Westernized, look at this pair of dialogues is also very Westernized, isn't it ......"
"Oh, this, we're going to release it in Europe and the United States, I know that this kind of dialogue is clear in Europe and the United States. "Wang Meng.
"I don't mean anything else, it's just that you're really good, and it's amazing that you can write a script that is so Westernized. ”
"Hehe, thank you for the compliment. ”
After speaking, Wang Meng smiled at Yu Feihong and went to arrange the affairs of other actors and crews.
This time's lines can't be said to be Westernized, they are simply Western lines and scripts, which were plagiarized by Wang Meng, and they can't be Xihua.
Thankfully, there have been a lot of changes. Or else, it looks like a model line for a Western script.
This can't be helped, a lot of dialogues can't be changed, and if you change it, it's not "The Butterfly Effect", and even if you change it yourself, it may not be as good as the original version, so it's better to use it as usual.
Through "This Man" and "Painted Skin", Wang Meng's Western core is already acceptable to everyone, and it would not be good if he came up like this.
Now everyone knows that Wang Meng deliberately did this for the sake of the release in Europe and the United States.
It's all wrong!
But...... For Wang Meng, this understanding couldn't be better.
Therefore, Yu Feihong asked like this, but Wang Meng didn't care.
"Prepare for the next one. ”
This time, the filming location was changed to indoors, and there were a bunch of children, as well as the little protagonist teacher in the dragon suit.
There is suspense here again, a seven-year-old child actually painted a picture of killing/man, which is still very bloody.
Of course...... This is also the moment when the little protagonist first appears with a fragment of memory.
It's the protagonist who goes to prison and returns to this moment to change some direction in order not to be bullied.
The painting of the killing/man is the killing of two people who have been bullying him in prison.
However, suddenly appearing here will confuse many fans.
Impatient people will really walk away, and they can't understand anything at all.
It's good to say here that there will be a lot of scenes like the little protagonist suddenly remembering fragments later.
This is the first half of "The Butterfly Effect", do you not know what you are doing? The fog is slowly lifted in the middle and late stages, and you will only understand it when you watch the end.
Of course, the average person will not understand it after reading it once, and can only read it a few more times.
But some logic is very powerful, and the ability to understand is different.
If you have a strong understanding ability, you will like such a movie and find it very interesting.
If you have poor comprehension skills, you will not have the patience to read it, and even if you read it, you will feel that it is a mess, and you will not be able to accept it at all.
Fortunately, Wang Meng's fame is not comparable to that of the original director. Wang Meng's fame will make many people want to understand, and the psychology of comparison will appear.
Coupled with fame, compared with the original director, Wang Meng has a great advantage.
The filming in the classroom took only a day and a half, and the scene of docking with the prison will also be filmed in one go.
is the scene of the protagonist mutilating himself and hurting his hand, and this bloody painting here will also correspond to the prison behind.
All in all, it's hard to understand without reading the script, this kind of brain-burning plot.
There are many similarities with Ruolan's "Memory Fragments", which belong to the ideas and thinking logic of geniuses.
……
This time, the filming location of "Butterfly Effect" is located in the magic capital.
It just so happened that Wang Meng could go home.
But Jiang Shuying was gone, and went to Hengdian Film and Television City.
This led to the fact that after returning home after filming, my mother complained vigorously.
He said, "Good daughter-in-law, you have taken it away for me." ”
I had to coax my mother and say, you can go and see if you have nothing to do, it's not far away, and it's good to be active.
Lu Man thought it was good, and decided to watch his daughter-in-law go after a while, for fear that Jiang Shuying would be tired.
And at the same time.
The shortlist of the Golden Horse Awards has been announced.
"Painted Skin" won nine nominations, leading this year's Golden Horse Awards.
Similarly...... "You at the Table" received three nominations, which should not be underestimated.
This year has been a harvest year for DreamWorks.
At the end of November, Wang Menghui went to the Golden Horse Awards.
Although this award is not important in the world, it is an important award for the Chinese entertainment industry. Not to mention the addition of "Crazy Racing" and "Chainsaw", DreamWorks has won fifteen nominations.
Absolutely a big bonus.
Now that everything is in DreamWorks, Wang Meng doesn't need to stare at it all the time.
Zhang Lantian brought good news, and the peak couldn't stand it.
can't withstand the large capital acquisition of DreamWorks, and it seems that the negotiation is almost over. All that's left is funding a few little things.
Zhang Lantian said that he hoped that in mid-November, Wang Meng would come to Hollywood to sign an agreement.
This Wang Meng attaches great importance to the acquisition of the peak, which is a part of DreamWorks stepping out of China, and it cannot be sloppy.
Perhaps, in the next year or two, I will have to sit at the summit for a few years, and it is good to plan the peak rise film of the previous life as soon as possible.
Of course, these are a bit far away.
Today's "Butterfly Effect" has been on for seven days, and in the past few days, Wang Meng has focused on the role of a young actor.
I hope to finish the filming of the young actors' scenes as soon as possible, which is much more convenient.
And the young actors are all students of some art schools, who have been exposed to it since childhood, and they are very outstanding in performance.
It's much better than children of the same age.
Although Xu Jinglei, Huang Xiaoming and others have not yet reached their appearance time, these people attach great importance to it, and they have never left the crew since the announcement of the start of filming, and have been working hard to study the script.
This made Wang Meng very happy.
In addition, his parents always nag him when he went home, so Wang Meng sometimes spent the night in the crew.
One is that I can't go back to the night show, and the other is that I can discuss tomorrow's process with everyone.
It's been nearly two months, Wang Meng enjoyed it for a while after filming "Painted Skin", and now he has to hurry up and join the crew.
