Chapter 451: Life is like a play, and drama is like life
Halloween is over, Thanksgiving is over, and there is only one Christmas left this year.
The filming of "The Dark Knight" has come to an end, and the moment the crew reunites again, everyone greeted each other warmly. They are very comfortable in this crew, maybe the big boss is going to be a father, they haven't seen the big boss lose his temper for a long time. Go to and from work on time every day, and occasionally take a holiday when the weather is bad.
Whether it is drama or tricks, every day when I see Chen Tiandu, I seem to be able to see the smile on his face. A smile can be contagious, not to mention the smile of a big boss, occasionally smiling at an unknown junior, which can make him happy all day. The relaxed and comfortable work attitude always makes people feel like a spring breeze.
"Hey, Chen, if you have anything to be happy about, say it and share it." Charles Rowan saw Chen Tiandu lying on the chair reading and basking in the sun again, not urging the staff who were preparing for the scene. This kind of relaxation and comfort, he can't do it anyway.
Chen Tiandu smiled, "It's nothing...... Charles, did you know that babies move in a few months? ”
Charles suddenly realized, "Aha, I guess it must be five months." How about it, do you feel the shock of fetal movement? Maybe you need me to give you some pointers. Chen Tiandu looked at him in surprise, "Charles, I don't know much about your private life, how many children do you have?" ”
"I have three, two daughters and a son." Speaking of the child, Charles's expression also relaxed, sat next to him and said: "Generally, when you are five months pregnant, the fetus can already stretch out your hand, kick or something in the womb, and hit the uterine wall. You don't want to think it's fun, but in fact, the number of fetal movements, the speed and slowness, the strength and weakness all indicate the safety of the fetus. ”
"Safety?"
Chen Tian unconsciously sat up straight.
"Uh-huh, like lack of oxygen or something. If the number of fetal movements is too low. It is the lack of oxygen, and the small life is seriously threatened. Charles was happy to give him a little bit of guidance, "Even if it's a lack of oxygen, it's time-sensitive." It's like when you divide Bruce Wayne's life into periods in the movie. The number of fetal movements increases during the initial period of hypoxia because of hypoxia. When life is threatened, the instinct begins to struggle, and the fetus is restless. When the lack of oxygen is more severe, then it is really dangerous...... I'm just a little bit of experience, and the doctor definitely knows more than I do. ”
"Thank you Charles, it's important to me." Chen Tiandu immediately took out the phone, called Kate, and chattered about it before relaxing after making a phone porridge.
Christian Bale, over there, is being interviewed by the media arranged by Warner. These will be made into post-film promotional materials.
Facing the camera, his expression seemed to be reminiscing, and his eyes were full of stories: "Chen is a very wise person, I'm making this movie, do you think I'm just performing my acting skills, then you're wrong." I'm going through another life. ”
"Another life? Is it an experiential performance method? What does this have to do with Chen, can you explain it clearly? The reporter asked.
"It's different."
Christian shook his head and said, "It's a wonderful state. Chen guided me into the character and then through the various periods of the character. He shredded the whole life of the character's growth, how to grow. Growing up and changing, growing up thinking and so on. What was it like when I was a child, what was it like when I was a teenager, when I was away from school, and after I returned...... It's all an unusually clear life, under his lens. It's not just a script, it's going to make me think it's a real person, Bruce Wayne. If there really is a parallel world, then Bruce Wayne in that world lived and grew up like this. ”
"Wow, it feels like God made man."
The reporter was obviously excited, and said: "We know that at the beginning of filming, Chen stated that he had made many adaptations of the film. Ready to go another way, can you reveal the biggest difference between Batman directed by Chen and Batman directed by Tim? ”
"It's two extremes entirely."
Christian didn't hesitate to say it. "If Tim's film is a myth, a fairy tale. Then Chen's film. It is to pull God from heaven into the earth, and the audience will see a mortal. Batman. He wasn't bitten by a bat and had superpowers, it wasn't Batman but Spider-Man. He's Bruce Wayne, and he's Batman. ”
The "......" reporter was stunned by him, "Okay, so do you think Batman, who was pulled into the mortal world, will be loved by the audience?" After all, Tim's Batman left an incomparably deep impression on the audience. ”
"I don't think that's a problem, everybody is going to love this new Batman."
This exclusive interview was reported by the New York Times and caused a lot of discussion. There is also some controversy.
Pull Batman from "Superman" into the world and become a "mortal"?
Come on, is that still Batman, can he still fly away? Some fans are starting to get worried. However, this argument was immediately suppressed by the crazy captain fans, "There is always endless doubt, and if the questioning was valid, there would be no rise of the captain in the first place." He's always held his head high in the face of doubt, and this time was no exception. ”
“……”
Well, the skepticists flinched, who called it Chen Tiandu, who made people look down on Chen Tiandu without confidence.
And the movie is still in the "present continuous tense" state.
As Christian said, under the guidance of Chen Tiandu, he seemed to have relived his life and became Bruce Wayne.
As a child, he was frightened by falling into a bat cave, and was later killed by a homeless man because of his fear that his parents left the theater early. As a child, Bruce planted fear and guilt, remorse, and self-blame for the iconic object of the bat.
At this stage of the story, Bruce's father is his greatest life coach: "Why did we fall? In this way, you can learn to stand up. "This is also the soul of this movie, the backbone of Bruce's life.
As a teenager, Bruce's mentality, or understanding of justice, was that revenge must be avenged, and murder should be paid (which is also a way of looking at justice in today's society, just as there has been a discussion about whether the death penalty should be abolished). And his greatest pain is that he can't kill the Zili (homeless man) who shot his parents with his own hands.
The teenager's understanding of justice: The killing of Zili (the homeless) is not to seek justice, but to take revenge. Justice is done to maintain social harmony, and revenge is only for the sake of a momentary rush. That's why there is a judicial system. Falco (the gang boss) makes people's living conditions worse, so that more people are forced to become evil people (such as the murderer Zili), and it is really this environment that leads to the killing of Bruce's parents, and Falco (the gang boss) is the indirect and root cause of this killing.
But the boy was limited in what he could do, so he ran away from home and found the answers he wanted.
When Bruce sees Falco (the gang boss), he thinks he understands justice and no longer fears the forces of evil. But then he found out that he didn't understand what evil was, why a person could be bad, and how bad a person could be. During this time, he also realized that people will change due to the environment, and they cannot distinguish the boundary between good and evil. But he has not become bad at this point, and at the same time he hates the bad guys, and uses this hatred to overcome fear.
"What you are really afraid of is your own heart, you are afraid of your own power, and you are afraid that the anger in your heart will force you to do great or terrible things" This sentence speaks to the different paths that Bruce and the ninja master are taking.
"I'm not an executioner."
"The enemy will show no mercy to your men."
"That's the point, that's what sets me apart from them."
After his return, Bruce used forgiveness (forgiveness is not the same as non-punishment, but non-homomorphic revenge, a different kind of justice), in the cave, he stood quietly in the cave, and countless bats appeared figuratively and abstractly to surround him, but none of them would really touch him.
He overcame the fear in his heart and everything that the bat represented, and got back on his feet.
“ut!”
Chen Tiandu looked at Christian standing in the camera, and had to applaud his performance, from the initial struggle to fear, and then to the calm face. Americans' performances are very outgoing, while Oriental performances are more restrained. This time, Chen Tiandu just asked him to perform a restrained expression performance, and he did it, getting better and better.
"Awesome, Chris. You're at it now. ”
He clapped softly.
Chris smiled modestly, a little unclear, "I don't quite understand what it is." ”
"That's it...... Harnessing the light ...... Forget it, you just have to compliment you. He gave up explaining a translated version of the Chinese idiom to a foreigner.
Christian smiled and said, "Thank you, it's the script that is well written, and you are good at directing." ”
"No, no matter how well the script is written, no matter how capable the director is, but the movie needs actors to perform in order to take shape. It's a group effort, and no one can succeed without it. Chen Tiandu said seriously. He never takes credit for himself, even though he has more and more aura.
"All right, gentlemen." Charles watched them compliment each other endlessly, and couldn't help but interrupt: "You are all great, otherwise you wouldn't have gotten together to shoot Batman." Chen, it's your turn now, everyone is waiting for your next order. ”
Chen Tiandu looked at the group of staff around him who had lost their backbone, and without the director's order, they didn't know what to shoot next.
"Okay, let's have dinner, then let's go and shoot the last big scene. Aim to finish it before Christmas! ”
"Hooray!"
It is really unpredictable that such a big production, with smooth work every day and little overtime, will be completed in less than four months. But no one would dispute that, because every day is so fulfilling. This is how their progress progresses smoothly, and everything comes naturally, including the finish. (To be continued)
