Chapter 65: A Perfect Finish
Convinced Jin Chengwu, the crew no longer has old drama bones. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
In 2004, Jin Chengwu was in the stage of his acting career, whether it was in the Huaxia or Fusang film circles, the popularity index was hot. Lao Mouzi in the mainland asked him to shoot the commercial blockbuster "Ambush on All Sides" at the beginning of the year, and Xiangjiang famous director Du Qifeng's "Turn Left, Turn Right" last year was also a hot topic, so Jin Chengwu belongs to the type that does not win many art awards, but the traffic is very strong. And just two years ago, Kim Sung-mu also collaborated with the film's assistant director Takashi Yamazaki on the Fuso movie "Return to the Warrior".
Although "Sunset in Sanchome" has increased the production cost from $2 million in parallel time and space to 10 million today, it is really impossible to find a star in the crew who is more famous than Kim Sung-woo - except for Gu Cheng himself.
Therefore, it only took more than half a month for Gu Cheng to convince Jin Chengwu and let all the actors in the crew recognize his ability - this big boss who spends money is not just a product that brings money into the group, but people's acting skills, artistic speculation, and ideological realm are the highest existence in the whole film.
Of course, on the issue of acting, it is mainly due to Gu Cheng's true colors. Because the protagonist's inner concept and ideology are completely consistent with Gu Cheng's own career cognition, there is no need to find any sense of substitution, and the final effect is naturally natural.
At the same time, Gu Cheng's screenwriting ability has also been affirmed by everyone, and everyone wholeheartedly believes that the world and artistic outlook described by Gu Cheng are right. From the first female Mika Nakajima to the second female Maki Horikita, and then to the addition of Apricot Suzuki in order to match Kim Sung-moo's role in the play, everyone admired Gu Cheng so much.
The shooting is getting smoother, the run-in is smoother, and the number of NGs is greatly reduced.
The time has entered June, and Cai Mingliang has taken thousands of minutes of footage, and finally can probably cut out half of the finished film from this part of the video.
Before Yamazaki Gui's script was bought by Gu Cheng, he originally only planned to make some investment, and then use this book to make a movie of about 120 minutes, and then make a sequel if the market response is good - this is a common plan used by many poor directors who have no money or fame to persuade investors.
After Gu Chengmo changed, the script added an important male lead, so Yamazaki Gui also had to use some secondary characters that were originally planned for the sequel to be bridled and polished, so as not to make Jin Chengwu's second male lead too abrupt.
In addition, Gu Cheng has too much dry goods to express, and the final version of the script will be about 200 minutes long.
It was a long time, but it was 200 minutes without water. The structure is compact and solid, in addition to the deep dry goods, it is the silent "discovery of the beauty of life", as well as a few contrasting and cute small paragraphs that make people smile.
On this day, it was about halfway through June, and two-thirds of the overall filming had been completed, and Gu Cheng's own role was about to end.
This is a group drama, and the number of scenes in which the male number one will appear is less than half. Because Gu Cheng's time is valuable, when the whole drama is scheduled for filming, it is possible to finish Gu Cheng's scenes first, and try not to delay him.
And in order to facilitate Gu Cheng's emotions, the shooting sequence during the rehearsal completely follows the changes in the artistic outlook of the male No. 1 Cha Chuan, rather than the timeline of the plot-
Speaking of human words, it is to put the stage of the protagonist hitting the street writer Chakawa "for the sake of art" in front of the film. And when Junnosuke, an orphan who has a bond with him, and Hiromi, the proprietress of the dance hall/tavern, appears, the plot after he needs to be responsible will be filmed later.
In the end, the protagonist is a complex artist who "when I only live for myself, even if I eat and drink, and I am poor, I can't bow to kitsch light novels, but since there is a child I want to adopt, and a woman wants me to be responsible, I should take the responsibility of a man, and I can't let women and children suffer together in poverty".
This kind of character is much taller than the original slightly petty citizen, weak and incompetent male number one, who not only has the style of an artist, but also has more flesh and blood than the scumbag who "artists can talk about art with women, but they can't be responsible". found a breakthrough in the transformation of humanity for the part of him that was slightly struggling to find a way out in the middle and late stages.
……
On the set, the penultimate scene is being filmed, and it is the male number one Chachuan played by Gu Cheng, who decides to give in to reality, give up his artistic outlook, and make more money to let women live a good life.
He went to the tavern opened by Hiromi played by Mika Nakajima, and after a few drinks, he took out a fairly delicate jewelry box and plucked up the courage to take it out.
Mika Nakajima's eyes were filled with sparks of emotion, and she was almost so shy that she couldn't cry.
However, the plot took a turn for the worse, and Gu Cheng embarrassedly and slowly opened the jewelry box: "I'm sorry, I don't have any money now, so I can only buy this jewelry box, but I already know how to make money, if you are willing to accept it, just wait for me to ......"
When he said this, Gu Cheng did not use a tone of compromise, but the kind of scholar who was quite literati, and finally had to weigh the trade-offs in order to be responsible for his wife.
"Put it on!" Mika Nakajima wiped a handful of tears and said arrogantly.
"You still don't accept it...... What are you talking about?" Gu Cheng's surprise was just right.
"I said put it on me!"
"Ah...... Oh...... Okay!" Gu Cheng's expression changed several times, as if he still had to think about what to do with this action that he had never thought of, and then pretended to take out a non-existent ring from the empty jewelry box and made a pose for Mika Nakajima to put on.
A typical non-physical performance, after Mika Nakajima pretended to wear a ring, she had to revel virtually, stretching out her finger to shine at different angles under the light, and it seemed that she could really see the reflection of the gemstone.
Then hugged, one wept with joy, the other wept resolutely, with the unwillingness to give in to fate.
"CUT! 15 minutes off, next. Cai Mingliang watched Gu Cheng and Mika Nakajima's performances on the monitor, and secretly praised them.
is really a charmer, you don't have to act.
Mika Nakajima wiped her sweat and prepared to remove her makeup, while saying words of thanks to Gu Cheng. Gu Cheng smiled and signaled that she didn't have to care, hurry up and play.
In the script of parallel time and space, the ending of the protagonist Cha Chuan in the end is half happy and half sad - Hiromi owes a loan shark because of her father's illness and doesn't want to drag Cha Chuan down, so she is reduced to a nightclub again and does not come to him again.
The child adopted by Chakawa, Junosuke, was originally born to another dancer, and the child's biological father was a wealthy businessman. At the end of the film, the rich businessman died unexpectedly because of his wife's sister-in-law, and thought that there was a wild seed outside that he didn't want to be responsible for, so he came to Chachuan very domineeringly to take the child away, and humiliated Chachuan with "You can't give him the life he wants".
But the child is very sensible, regardless of the poverty of his "adoptive father" Cha Chuan, and finally escaped from the rich businessman's father, and still depends on Cha Chuan.
However, in the end, the ending setting of this too routine was changed by Gu Cheng.
In the new script, when the child returns, Cha Chuan, in the consideration of letting the child live a rich childhood, hardens his heart from beginning to end and says "It's annoying to raise you! I can't afford to raise you! You vulgar goods with no future!" and drove the child back to the rich businessman's biological father.
So by the end of the film, the protagonist Cha Chuan played by Gu Cheng returned to the most tragic situation where his wife was separated from 100%.
Then he made up his ambition to give up his artistic outlook and endure humiliation for the sake of his wife and children to write Xiaobaiwen to support his family, and he also took it back. returned to a state of stinky and hard, preferring to die unyieldingly. Because no one needs him to be accountable to the world anyway.
This setting also broke Yamazaki Taka's original plan of "if it is filmed and sells well at the box office, it will make a sequel".
This drama is an absolute tragedy, absolutely loud, and there is no sequel.
What "Sunset 2 of the Three Chomes" and "The Sunset of the Three Chomes of 196X" (two numbers cannot be written in a row at a certain point, they will be sealed, everyone knows how many they are) and other dog tail mink fraud goods, this time and space will not appear.
Here in Gu Cheng, there are only thoughts, only dry goods, only art, and no box office.
Isn't it just to work hard to make a lot of money in business, so that you can have capital to lose money in art?
At the end of the film, Suzuki Motors, which rose to prominence by saying that "although we have a small brand, we are willing to produce cars according to customer requirements, we can still grab the market of people who do not want to buy Ford cars", and the business is booming, and every employee is developing.
Hoshino Rokuko (Horikita Maki), who works in Suzuki, stands in a sunny snow and gives Gu Cheng, who is separated from his wife, an umbrella. The sense of picture is similar to that in the game "Fairy Sword", after Zhao Ling'er hung the point, Anu gave Li Xiaoyao an umbrella.
One of them symbolizes the determined girl who has found the way up, and the other symbolizes the hermit who has been forced backwards by the times, but still does not forget to find the value of his existence.
But this is just pure friendship, and the down-and-out Gu Cheng did not go to harm Horikita Maki again.
……
"Brother Cheng is so great, I don't know if it's the same in real life. ”
After the end, Gu Cheng is about to leave the group. In his capacity, it is natural to invite everyone to have a good drink and relax for a day.
Maki Horikita, who was acting for the first time and tired several times, naturally couldn't help but drink more, leaning on her colleague Mika Nakajima and feeling heartfelt.
Mika Nakajima is also the same as Maki Horikita, I don't know how many tears Gu Cheng earned. After listening to Maki's question, she undoubtedly Amway:
"It's so, it's definitely like that. You don't look at it, with his genius, if he is bent on making black money, he will at least make several times more money than now. We are really living in a good era, and we can meet such a loving boss. I believe that the future he described must be true, not a guess, not a prophecy. Maybe Gu Sang is a prophet. ”
Mika Nakajima was originally discovered by Gu Cheng and Kwon Baoya when they were in Fukuoka. In the past few years, she has also released two records, appeared in an idol drama, and has accumulated more than 1 million record sales. The gratitude in her heart for Gu Cheng's kindness was naturally in a state of bursting, just like the god who saved her.
This time, she was able to act so well in the play, including when Gu Cheng wore a virtual ring for her to perform without physical objects, the reason why she was in such a perfect state was entirely because Mika Nakajima herself usually made up this picture hundreds of times.
Mika Nakajima chatted and chatted, looking at the worship on the face of Maki Horikita, and she was also suddenly pitied. She stroked Zhenxi's hair, leaned into her ear and whispered, "Gu Sang used you to play the sixth son this time, it seems that he likes you very much." I really envy you for being able to observe life with such an excellent man...... I was so ugly that I gave up a long time ago. ”
Horikita Maki was made red-faced, and hurriedly waved his hand to deny: "Eh, how come, Brother Makoto is very good to me, and he never mentioned it...... That kind of dirty request. ”
"yes? That's a decent gentleman. Mika Nakajima was thoughtful, but her tone was a little cold.
She is self-aware of her appearance, and knows that she only has some talent for singing and acting at most, that's all, Gu Cheng definitely doesn't look down on her, so she has already had a boyfriend over the years. But when she saw that Horikita Maki was so beautiful and cute, she really couldn't help but want to encourage her sister.
In Fusang's entertainment industry, there is no less filth than Huaxia, not to mention far, just the AKB48 combination that will appear next year, how much blood and tears are in it. So in Mika Nakajima's three views, which girl can be Gu Cheng's woman, it is an honor, even if she has no name and is not even a girlfriend.
So seeing Horikita Maki explaining nervously, she was actually a little unhappy: "But, listening to your tone, why do you use the word 'dirty'?
"Hmm...... That's not what it means. Horikita Maki was squeezed so that her face became more and more red, she still had to be three or four months old to turn 16 years old, she was completely a child who didn't understand the feelings of men and women, how could she resist the squeeze of Nakajima Mika's meat talk in her early 20s.
"Mainly...... When I was at the end of Sister BoA's concert in Roppongi, I met a strange uncle who claimed to be a talent scout from his agency, and it was Sister BoA and Brother Makoto who saved me. Sister BoA is also my idol, and I have always felt that they are a natural pair, how can I do something sorry for my idol......
If Brother Cheng can treat me as a little sister, I will be very satisfied, and I don't know how many lifetimes of blessing it will be. ”
Two years ago, when Maki Horikita was still a 13-year-old little Lori, she was already a brain-dead fan of Genki Oto-feminist Baoya, and as a brain-dead fan, of course she couldn't do anything sorry for her idol.
Mika Nakajima heard this, thoughtful.
"It turns out that you are Miss Quan's brainless fan, no wonder. But it's really weird...... Although your little girl's acting talent is very good, Miss Quan is experienced after all, and she is so familiar with Gu Sang. Why does Gu Sang have to use you this time?"
She didn't know that there were many people who were concerned about this issue at the moment.
