Chapter 117: Change of Role!
"October Siege" is a good movie, and Xie Tingfeng's performance is also quite good.
However, since then, he has only known convulsions, and "The Informant" convulsions won the HK Academy Award Best Actor.
In the past few years, he has developed into a convulsive faction, "New Shaolin Temple", "Counter War", "Disappearing Bullet", of course, including "Shocking".
'Through the screen, you can also feel Xie Tingfeng's aura of trying to prove that he has acting skills, but unfortunately it is his lifeline to use too much force, and his facial expression is always swaying between facial paralysis and hideousness..."
is exaggerated, everything is played with energy, they are all the same facial expressions, twisting their necks and twitching, and they are embarrassing.
Ex-wife Zhang Baizhi's acting skills really threw people several streets...
I always feel that after a few hard efforts in the first two years, the directors of HK feel that it is useless, anyway, they have a bunch of actors.
So, this year, we saw "Threesome", which almost lowered the limit of Lao Dudi, of course, there are also "Legend of the Gods", "Macau Fengyun 3", "Ace Teases Ace", "Anti-Corruption Storm 2", "Shocking", "Dangerous City"...
I feel sorry for Gu Tianrao...
……
The post-production work of "Bangkok Trip" began, and Shen Lin wanted to make a film that was different from Western zombie films.
Most action thrillers rely too heavily on a lot of cuts.
"First of all, the personal shots are controlled to a minimum. ”
"Secondly, be sure to keep it simple and avoid too much cutting. ”
"We needed a dynamic high-speed film, but it didn't want to be overly complicated. Action movies can be cumbersome, there's so much going on, we just need the most basic structure. ”
The post-editing began, and Shen Lin was analyzing it before doing things.
Most of the editors here have worked with Shen Lin countless times, and they know his requirements very well, and they also know very well what Shen Lin wants to express.
"Director, what you said is too general, can you give us an overview of the style of "Bangkok Tour"?"
Shen Lin looked at a few people and said: "I believe you can almost understand why when I set it, the villain and the protagonist are very ordinary, very ordinary people, which makes the audience better get close to them: they have similar emotions." ”
"Trip to Bangkok" is very real on many levels, and the film is both absurd and aptly self-conscious.
It rejects hypocritical standards and never changes course.
"What I want to do is add a touch of disaster to the mix, if it's a little more serious, the film will be too heavy, and if it's a little more cheesy, it will fail. So, the tone of the movie has been set, and now it's up to you!"
Shen Lin once directed "Interstellar" and also wrote "The Walking Dead", he knows the style of Hollywood-style zombie movies very well: Hollywood or other movies have no emotion and tone, they are directly zombies!
"Compared with big-budget Hollywood films, audiences are more likely to relate to this film!"
"Of course, there is no 100% success rate in filmmaking, and no one knows if the public will be satisfied with the results presented by this film, but I personally hope that everyone will work in this direction..."
Six months before filming began, zombie actors began to receive special training.
Therefore, the preparation of the whole movie is quite perfect, and it is by no means a work that was launched in a hurry!
"Alright, let's get started!"
Since the second work "Those Years", Shen Lin's control of the later stage has not been so strict, not that he feels that the later stage is not important, but that he has learned how to let the team understand his ideas.
The post-processing of the film is of course very important, otherwise those big Hollywood directors would not be desperately pursuing the post-editing rights.
It's just that since the team already knows what you think, let them do it, and there's no need to follow up in real time.
Therefore, after the filming of "Bangkok Travel" was completed, Shen Lin could finally rest for a while.
Throughout 2016, his busy work took up most of his time.
Even after the filming of "Bangkok Trip" is completed, he only arranges a two-week rest for himself, because next month "Touching the Golden Captain" will start filming again!
……
Lin'an, the crew of "Wolf Warrior 2".
"What do you mean? Not coming? Why?"
Wu Jing looked at the casting director in charge of casting a little angrily.
The latter was extremely embarrassed: "He... He felt that the conditions were too difficult and wanted to use a stand-in..."
"What kind of stand-in to use? We can all shoot in real life, why should he use a stand-in, hurry up and let him come over and delay things!"
“… No, director, Lu Han said, if you don't use a stand-in, he won't shoot!"
"What does he want to do?"
"He said you don't need a stand-in, so he won't shoot!"
"Go, call his agent!"
Wu Jing: They are discussing the actor of the bear child in "Wolf Warrior 2" - Lu Han.
Because of the needs of the role, and Shen Lin said that he had the money, Wu Jing invited a small fresh meat at the domestic traffic level this time.
Although Lu Han is not a superstar, he has a lot of brainless fans, and his impetus to the box office is not small, so Wu Jing really gave him a salary of nearly 10 million!
Lu Han is a person, Wu Jing has never been in contact with him, but Deng Chao's evaluation of him is not bad, it was his recommendation, so Wu Jing found him.
Who would have thought that after only two days of filming, he couldn't stand it!
Soon, Lu Han came over, and his agent also came, and he said, "Director Zhang, why don't you let Xiaolu use a stand-in?"
Wu Jing frowned: "This is a close-up, how do you use a stand-in? Besides, there is no danger, why use a stand-in?"
The agent said: "How much is our fawn worth? 10 million to take your play is already a loss! Moreover, your request is too much, and you actually let him drive the tank himself! Let me tell you, our deer has never filmed like this, and there is not even air conditioning on the scene, so this is not good, the workload is too great..."
Wu Jing looked at Wu Gang, who was crawling on the ground, simulating movements: "Everyone shoots like this, look at Mr. Wu Gang..."
"I don't care what about others, in short, we fawns just can't do it!"
"No, do you?
"What?
"I said you brought your little fresh meat to get out of here!
What kind of temper is Wu Jing, he is in a hurry, even his daughter-in-law can beat him, what kind of little fresh meat are you afraid of?
Dare to publicly ridicule EXO back then, are you afraid of just a deer?
"Okay! That's what you said, it's you who broke the contract first, Xiaolu, let's go!"
Lu Han's face changed obviously, but he still obediently followed the agent and the eight assistants and left.
"Damn, I'm so depressed!"
After Wu Jing finished playing his temper, he realized that it was not easy to do.
The 'bear child' is gone, who should I turn to?
"Director, let's not be too angry, these little fresh meat have long been spoiled by capital and fans, find someone to save the scene!"
Wu Gang walked over and comforted.
"At such times, where do I find someone?"
"You call and ask Deng Chao and ask him to recommend one to you..."
Xie Nannan, who witnessed the whole process, put forward suggestions.
