Chapter 127: Prove to You

"The dough can be strong after kneading hard, and the jade will become warm after repeated rubbing, so I also have a careful proposal, young lady, I think...... "Life is full of philosophical bits and pieces of wisdom, people just lack a pair of eyes that are good at discovering, and Liang Baoguang is not lacking in insight." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

As for Scarlett Johansson's "bold idea", Liang Baoguang will never agree, when he was in elementary school, he planted a bottle of enoki mushrooms in a glass bottle in his nature class, this bottle of enoki mushrooms grew very well and beautifully, he was originally going to take it to the school class at the end of the semester to show, but Liang Gesheng and Yun Jingyi suddenly wanted to eat hot pot one day, the ingredients at home were not rich enough, and it was snowing outside and they didn't want to go out, so they ate the enoki mushrooms he planted.

At that time, Yun Jingyi told Liang Baoguang that enoki mushrooms would definitely grow again as long as they waited for a few days, but as a result, let alone a few days, there was no movement in the whole semester. At the end of the semester, he was "instructed" by his mother, bought a packet of enoki mushrooms from the market and inserted them in a bottle to fool the whole class and teachers, and since then there has been one less innocent teenager in this world. He knows that he and Zhang Wuji are actually the same kind of people, because almost all of the people who can be deceived by their own mother are the protagonists in the novel, and Yin Susu is right, the more beautiful a woman is, the more she will deceive people.

The director is a newcomer who has only made two works, and the male lead actor is challenging a difficult role for the first time, so the filming of the movie is inevitably a little slow, and the atmosphere on the set that was already a little depressing after the weather turns cold is even worse, but it is just right for "Burst Drummer". What Liang Baoguang needs is a sense of depression, the atmosphere on the set is poor, and the state of the actors is closer to his requirements, so not only does he not try to change, but also consciously guides everything.

"Cut! "It is very difficult to make Liang Baoguang shout, because he has great expectations for the movie itself, so he strives for perfection in every shot, and even has some nitpicking, but as the filming of the movie unfolds, the state of the leading actors is getting better and better, and the cooperation of the staff is more tacit, so he now seems to be much better than at the beginning.

Before filming the scene of the car accident, Liang Baoguang wanted the makeup artist to make Freddie Hemer's look as miserable as possible in order to highlight the conflict between the characters, but his decision drew almost everyone's opposition, and everyone's reason was similar: it seemed unscientific.

A person who has been in a car accident doesn't lie down and just make a penny, at least he has to go to the hospital for a full body examination or something, but when he gets up, he runs and insists on participating in the show, which is no longer a love of drumming but a neurosis. Liang Baoguang wanted to portray two neuropaths in "Bursting Drummer", but the plot that was too unreasonable could easily make the audience resist, and he couldn't make something too blunt for the sake of the plot.

Stone men can be petrified by snake girls, they can step on the clamps of policewomen when they fly planes, fire men can lose blood when they are ignited, and vampires can even draw blood from robots...... There are a lot of unscientific things, and after a car accident, daring to perform is nothing compared to the previous one. In Liang Baoguang's view, the movie itself should not be exactly the same as life, otherwise it would be good for everyone to move a stool and sit in the sun at the door of their homes to watch people come and go, why would they pay money to go to the cinema?

Of course, being close to life is also beneficial, and a reasonable plot is more likely to resonate with the audience, which can allow them to better substitute into the characters that have been created, so Liang Baoguang finally chose it. Freddie Heimer's Andrew, who only scratched the skin on his forehead when the taxi crashed into the front seat, insisted on leaving despite the driver's dissuasion, and ran to the venue at the allotted time. Such a setting will weaken the explosion point of the movie, and the ups and downs in the plot structure will be flat, but the advantage is that the audience can watch it smoothly and will not feel that a certain scene is very dazzling.

"Run, run, pay attention to the expression on your face. "After the car accident scene, everyone didn't have enough to rest for five minutes, and the next one started filming quickly, which was the shot of Andrew running across the street to the performance venue. Liang Baoguang built a 100-meter-long camera track in the center of New York City in order to play flowers, and spent a lot of manpower and material resources to pay off the debt of human affection, in order to shoot a long shot in the real sense.

A normal adult man runs 100 meters in about 144 or 5 seconds, and if Freddie Heimer runs with all his might, even if there are many obstacles on the streets of Manhattan, it will not exceed 20 seconds, which is indeed shorter than Steven Spielberg's long shot of ten minutes at every turn, but the use of long lens is not just about length. Liang Baoguang changed the tragic car accident into an ordinary car crash, and he had to make up for it in other places, so he had particularly high requirements for this scene, "Hemmer, are you here to participate in the sports meeting? You are an actor, not a sprinter, I told you 800 times to pay attention to your expression, and do it again." ”

Acting is always difficult to explain clearly, whether it is the director or the work itself, what is needed is expressiveness, not the so-called truth. When quarreling in real life, everyone has a straight face, and there has never been such a rich expression and body language in film and television dramas, and the difference is even greater when crying, how ugly it is for ordinary people to cry with crooked faces and slanted mouths, but actors, especially actresses, can cry very well. Liang Baoguang's request to Freddie Hemmer was to show Andrew's dedication to playing the drums, a state similar to the Buddhist "anger", but he couldn't hold his expression when he ran, and each time he collapsed after 50 meters.

"I'm sorry, I can't run, can I take a break and shoot again?" Although Freddy Heimer was born as a child star, his professionalism is good, and he rarely makes requests or plays tricks. For this shot, he has already run back and forth four times for 100 meters, and it may not be a big deal to run down in one go, but he is divided into four runs, and each time he sprints with all his might. Anyone with common sense knows that repeated sprints are the most tiring, and it will be tiring to really find an athlete, not to mention that he is just an actor.

Liang Baoguang's face sank, and his voice was cold as if he would drop ice ballast, "It's only been filmed four times, it's not good, are you really ready to be a professional actor? I always knew that you child stars were very delicate, but I didn't know that you could be so naïve when you were about to become an adult." ”

"If you don't have love or reverence for movies, but it's just a tool to make money, then you don't have to take on this type of movie in the future, I haven't been in this industry for long, but I know some people, and I'll introduce you to a pure popcorn commercial film tomorrow." There is not a single excessive word in Liang Baoguang's words, but the negation in it is unacceptable to any self-respecting actor.

Freddie Hemmer was very young, and his early acting fame prevented him from participating in social activities like his peers, and his seemingly mature treatment was actually the opposite, so he opened his mouth unconvinced, but in the end he couldn't say anything, but everyone could see his mood at the moment.

"Do you want to refute me? Then take action and prove that something is something to be done and not to be said. Liang Baoguang sneered, "Let me see if you are a qualified actor, at least let me see if you want to be a qualified actor." ”

The status of old Hong Kong films in Asia has always been difficult to surpass, not because that group of people are really amazing, but simply because they can endure hardships. Wong Kar-wai was able to press Andy Lau into a real septic tank when filming "The True Story of A Fei", not to mention a king-level star in any other place, even a slightly famous actor could not agree, but Andy Lau still filmed it out of professionalism. In the end, this scene did not appear in the movie, and Andy Lau also turned against Wong Kar-wai, but no one can deny the professionalism he showed.

The entertainment atmosphere in Hollywood is a bit too strong, and it is difficult for actors to have a "love" for their profession, and everyone loses a lot of important things in entertaining others. Al Pacino's early family was difficult, and he was not smooth before he became famous, and the unpleasant experience made him value money too much, and he had a good chance to leave his name at the pinnacle of film history with his talent, but in the end he ruined himself because of his insatiable greed, and he almost didn't get anything after winning an Oscar for "Smell a Woman".

At this moment, Freddie Heimer was furious, and for more than two months in the crew, he had to face Liang Baoguang's lukewarm eyes every day, listening to him shout Cut in a demonic tone, denying his acting skills, denying his efforts, and then doing it all over again. To him, this is more ruthless than any mean and vicious abuse, and compared to Liang Baoguang, the mentor Fletcher in "The Burst Drummer" is somewhat amiable and cute.

The obsession is that I can't afford to put it down, "I'll prove it to you." ”

Andrew's character is positioned as obsessive and paranoid, and Freddie Hammer did not have this temperament at all in the past, although his acting skills are good and Ian McKellen knows with all his might, but after all, it is only tangible and unsatisfactory. Today was different, at least for the moment he was Andrew and not Freddie Hemmer, and when he ran again, he was in a very different state of mind than before.

Liang Baoguang, who was holding the viewfinder, stood expressionlessly, and finally nodded when he saw that Freddy Hemmer had the ruthlessness he wanted, "It's not a stone after all." ”

"If you do this, he may not understand your goodness. Ian McKellen shook his head, if Freddie Heimer could enter the house in the future, today would be the most important lesson in his life, but he really didn't want to comment on Liang Baoguang's methods.
