Chapter 137: Sensational + Cool + Deep = Connotation?
After a while, after putting on makeup, Chen Tiandu talked to Liu Dehua and Sun Honglei, explaining the play while comparing and speaking, and even explained clearly how to move and how to control the performance, and then began to experiment a few times. Probably no problem, before filming officially started.
When the entire crew was completely ready, Chen Tiandu shouted: "action!! ”
At this moment, it is already 1o:oo in the morning, and the rare winter sunshine is enough, and it can be seen from the preparation of this scene that it took three hours to see that Chen Tiandu attaches great importance to this scene.
On the rooftop, Andy Lau, who was in a neat black suit and a white shirt and no tie, walked into the camera step by step into the sun, and the sunlight stabbed him in the sunny weather so that he had to squint to see the qiē in front of him, but this was not a bad expression. It's just how it should be acted, when Chen Tiandu said the play just now, he didn't say that he should use this reaction.
This natural reaction is the actor's ability.
After Liu Dehua appeared on the stage, he performed the act of looking for Chen Tiandu's figure on the rooftop, and turned his eyes to the camera several times to look for it, and for the first time he saw his own shadow in the mirror of the building, he turned around in surprise. Look around to see Chen Yongren's figure. As soon as a few shots turned, it was explained what his first purpose was, and at this moment, this shot ended.
“stop!” Chen Tiandu, who was behind the monitor, nodded secretly and applauded, "Brother Hua, it's good, don't move." Turn the camera and prepare for the next stage. "It's his turn.
The rooftop of this building is not a good hiding place, if Chen Tiandu is standing on the rooftop, Liu Dehua will not have to look for it at all, so that the scene behind Chen Yongren suddenly appears behind Liu Jianming and holds him up with a gun will become a joke.
So you have to shoot multiple times to edit the effect.
But here, too, there are two options.
In the American version, he hid behind the stairwell and rushed out quickly to resist his lower back. The Hong Kong version of the lens is developing in the direction of beautification. A "cool" Infernal Affairs is carefully rendered, while the American version either doesn't understand cool or disdains coolness, creating a more "real" Infernal Affairs, which is more filmed as a social story.
Both the American and Hong Kong versions are very good-looking.
But the American version is less sensational, deep, and cool, so it is easy to give people an illusion: the American version is more superficial, has no depth, and has no connotation. Chen Tiandu naturally didn't think that this had anything to do with the connotation. Because Lao Ma wants to use realistic shots to tell stories more brutally.
You can compare the two versions of the lens table xiàn and the character table xiàn.
Whether it's expressions or dialogues, it's not that Lao Mei is not good at showing Xiàn cool. This feeling is not only in watching movies, but also in novels, animations, games, it is all the same, that is the cultural difference. For example, if you talk to him, "Simon blows snow not snow, but blood." ”
With just this sentence, this person's "cool" energy will be portrayed immediately, and the Chinese audience will automatically make up such a scene in their minds "The ancient town, the small shop, the sunset, a sword dripping with blood (close-up), a person standing motionless in white, the hem of the clothes fluttering slightly under the blowing of the wind" - sword god, what a cool word.
Lao Mei, if they don't come to "Ximen blows snow and blows not snow, but blood", it can be like this-
You glare at him, and he says, "You!"
The table of American movies is very straightforward and marketable. Even if Chen Tiandu wears black clothes and sunglasses in "The Matrix" and poses with all his might, this kind of coolness is still different from Hong Kong movies or Japanese animation.
In the Hong Kong version of Infernal Affairs, any small detail shows a kind of coolness and refinement, while the American version is "big grin". Therefore, those future film reviews that Chen Tiandu saw, mainland audiences may have an illusion after watching the perfect version, American movies really have no connotation.
But Chen Tiandu, as a director, can't think like this, otherwise he will be naïve.
Indeed, no matter what situation Andy Lau is in, he can not be surprised, Huang Sir will have to keep up with black and white lenses and various film skills as soon as he dies, Chen Huilin also has the feeling of artistic photos in any shot, and various details subtly give us this so-called connotative feeling.
But sensational + cool + deep = connotation?
Is it that Americans don't like to watch cooler things? Apparently not, otherwise they wouldn't have invented the word "cool".
So how should Chen Tiandu solve the problem, he didn't have a problem, so in some double-choice situations where he was faced with choosing A and B, he simply shot it twice.
After a "stop", Andy Lau stood there at the end of the first shot, not moving. The whole crew immediately began to make a big move, all moving to the other side of the rooftop, because it was time to shoot the footage on this side.
By the time the qiē was ready, a quarter of an hour had passed. Andy Lau didn't move a step except squatting down to rest for a while. Kong Yiji took a photo of him and asked him to sit at the meeting, and he would stand back for a while, but he himself refused.
After finishing again, everyone waited for Chen Tiandu, who had a mustache, to enter, and started filming again without any rest in between.
“Action!”
The photographer squatted behind Liu Dehua and filmed the second when Chen Tiandu pressed his gun against his waist.
“ok! Take a turn. ”
The camera shot head-on again, with the beautiful scenery of Victoria Harbour in his back, Chen Tiandu squatted down to search Andy Lau's body, took out the handcuffs, and unloaded all the bullets from his revolver.
"It's pretty neat."
"I also went to the police academy." Liu Jianming was handcuffed.
"You cops are really interesting, you always meet on the rooftop."
"I'm not like you, I'm above board. What do I want? ”
"You may not have brought what I wanted."
Chen Tiandu looked at him fixedly for two seconds, and suddenly the corners of his mouth twitched, and a smile. It's not bad, it's very distinctive, and with a wisp of mustache, it's very sexy.
The onlookers looked at it and had a strange feeling, that is, "Handsome!" ”
Chen Tiandu and Andy Lau have now entered the state, their gestures are all plays, there is no trace of performance at all, and an expression on their faces is revealed, which is psychological activity. This is a kind of perception of the play, a natural feeling that you don't have to act in the flow of love, and you are already covered in the play. In everyone's eyes, there is no Andy Lau and no Chen Tiandu at this moment, only Liu Jianming and Chen Yongren.
Sun Honglei, who was watching from the side, couldn't help but get nervous, this is the great god in Biao play, it's really fucking strong, can I express it? The hand holding the gun tightened unconsciously.
Kong Yiji looked over there and quietly touched Grieg's shoulder, "Why didn't you find Lao Chen so handsome before, this mustache is not bad, help me get one next time, when I go to the nightclub, I will have a beautiful cutie hooked." ”
Grieg glanced at him, "The beard depends on the characteristics of each person, European and American whites have lush body hair, Oriental yellow people have relatively little body hair, and black people have the least." Kong, your skin is very thick, your face is white and bearded, I'm afraid you can't grow such a beard. ”
"Pick, say I'm thick-skinned." Kong Yiji bared his teeth.
"Shhhh McCoway was about to curse, but when he saw that it was Kong Yiji, he could only stare instead.
During this period of effort, several shots were changed and several directions were switched. This method of not changing the position of the actors in the same scene, and then post-production, through guò editing techniques, is not uncommon in today's film industry. Hong Kong's commercial films have become a mature industry, and Hollywood also has its own set, which is a thriving place for films. Aiman and Chen Tiandu have collaborated on two plays, and they already know Chen Tiandu's thoughts well, and with a little guidance, they can understand it at one point, which is really not a difficult thing.
The overall effect and the captured images are full of rhythm.
