"Arrogance or self-confidence, what kind of position is Li crazy in the film industry?" Sohu Entertainment published a special report on this character, in the end, Li Xiaole became a vulgar and arrogant lost youth as Zhou Dusk and Zhang Weiping said; Or is it that Feng Xiaogang, Jiang Wen and other directors are becoming the real most haode directors?
Sohu Entertainment put forward an interesting counter-argument that Li Crazy is facing the "law of office buildings". This law is a law of management proposed by the British historian Cyril Northgood Parkinson. The more perfectly designed and lavishly the office building of a commercial or government organization, the closer the organization is to disintegration. And many examples of enterprises have proved this law.
Parkinson's scientific speculation is that the organization tends to be hectic during the development period, and everyone puts time, energy, and enthusiasm into their work; However, when the organization began to build a building commensurate with the achievement, everyone's time, energy, and enthusiasm focused on the superficial work, how the building should be designed, and how the office should be decorated...... And the perfect building means the end, and the end means the end.
If this view is true, what is the reason for Lee's imminent collapse?
He has come up with unrivaled strong works in South Korea, the mainland, and Taiwan, and it stands to reason that he should be proud, but let's analyze it, he worked hard to create "Let the Bullets Fly" and won several important awards in the Golden Horse, and "Sedek Balai" was greatly controversial by the outside world, perhaps he collapsed under great pressure, and just wanted to make some films like Wang Jing without bothering to make some tricks and make some money to develop in the United States.
However, Sohu Entertainment did not doubt the box office prospects of "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years", and said: "No matter how bad this film is, I believe that Li's crazy signature is worth 100 million yuan at the box office, if there is any harm, I am afraid it will be revealed in his next work, which is also where Li Xiaole is smart." ”
In November, Changhua is still sunny, it is a sunny morning, Jingcheng Middle School class bell has already sounded, the classroom is going on as usual, but today many students are obviously absent-minded, sitting by the window students looking out of the window on the school lawn, from time to time next to the classmates to each other.
The young male teacher who was teaching English class couldn't help but shake his head secretly when he saw the students like this, he walked to the window and looked outside, and said, "Do you want us to do an outdoor scenario exercise today?" The students in the classroom immediately coaxed and raised their hands in unison. The middle-aged male teacher laughed, walked back to the podium, and said, "Okay, don't dream, you can give me a good lesson." ”
"Alas~ I knew!" The students expressed their disappointment. The young male teacher shrugged his shoulders, picked up the chalk and continued to write the formula on the blackboard, complaining in his heart, Principal Weishenme would approve a movie to be filmed here, didn't he know that it would cause a lot of trouble to the school? For visibility? Come on, now they're filming a "school fighting competition...... It is simply to make others think that Jingcheng Middle School is a gathering place for bad students......
The teaching building area of Jingcheng Middle School is a "concave" architectural pattern, with buildings on three sides, an open road and lawn in the middle, and an indoor gymnasium on the opposite side.
At this time, the indoor gymnasium was crowded with teenagers in various T-shirts, chatting in twos and threes, waiting for the filming to begin. They are all extras in "Those Years", and the crew contacted the agency that specializes in providing extras, and then got a reply and hired these students from local art schools in Taiwan, but unlike the English teacher imagined, the scene now filmed is Ke Jingteng's "fighting competition" in college in the movie, not the scene of Jingcheng High School.
Li Xiaole's crew filmed surprisingly well in Changhua, and all the scenes from Jingcheng Middle School have been completed, and now there are only ten scenes left, which is far faster than expected.
This set of shots is to shoot the actor Ke Jingteng being beaten up by someone at the underground fighting competition he held, and then Shen Jiayi came to see his zuihou, and the two had a big quarrel and broke up. It's a turning point in the film's plot.
Now the students are happily talking or walking into the scene, a lively and exciting scene. The props team pasted all the windows with newspapers and tape, installed more than a dozen suspended dim light bulbs on the walls of the room, and covered the ring with desks with dark blue gymnastics foam, which was very touching to the students.
This scene in the original version was not filmed very well, Li Xiaole pushed almost everything to the original version and redesigned all the links, which was the key event before the two broke up, and it needed to be filmed more delicately.
The crew has been filming here for two whole days, and Ruan Jingtian and the action actor Sun Fei have been training for almost half a month in order to perform this scene.
When the audience watches the real fighting action scenes of the movie, they generally think that the protagonist is just fake fighting, random fighting, although it would be good to pose and so on, in fact, everyone who is filming knows that if it is a fight-themed movie action, it is easy to design, and it is precisely this kind of realistic real style of action scenes, fake fights are much more difficult than real fights.
You don't need to worry about the safety of your opponent in real fighting, just keep your fists going, but fake fighting not only has to be vigorous, but you also have to take care of your opponent at the same time, so you need to practice with your opponent repeatedly.
And even if the actor has worked hard to practice action scenes, the real shooting is far more complicated than most people imagine.
And because it was Ruan Jingtian's first time filming an action scene, it was impossible to ensure the consistency of action repetition, so Li Xiaole adopted the method of "obtaining a large amount of material" and then editing, Li Xiaole personally designed a complete set of four sets of continuous fighting actions, and then each action needs to be pushed forward from the circular rail, backwards, Sun Fei's perspective, Ruan Jingtian's perspective once, and then random motion capture twice, slow motion once, and the actor's face close-up once.
Even if it is said, even if all the shots are not NG, Ruan Jingtian and Sun Fei will have to fight at least thirty-two times!
"Let's go!"
Li Xiaole gave an order, and everyone entered the performance, Ruan Jingtian and Sun Fei fought hard in the ring, the audience next to them raised their hands excitedly and cheered, Ruan Jingtian sweated and waved his fists on the stage, and then was knocked to the ground by Sun Fei, and the two scuffled together.
When Ruan Jingtian was knocked down by the other party's punch and lay on the ground, the camera immediately turned to Ha Ji Won in the audience, gave Ha Ji Won a close-up, and then turned back to Ruan Jing Tian, Ruan Jing Tian, who had been beaten very badly, immediately got up from the ground and continued to fight when he saw the cooperative hospital coming.
Just when the extras cheered and thought that this shot was very good, Li Xiaole suddenly frowned and shouted: "Stop!" Everyone immediately looked over, Li Xiaole looked at Ruan Jingtian, and then looked at Ha Zhiyuan, pondered for a while, and always felt that the taste was a little wrong.
This true story of nine knives shows that Ke Jingteng is a spoof student who likes to fight very much, and the hot-blooded and naïve man's instinct is like showing what he is good at to show his favorite girls, such as those who are good at slam dunk will try their best to slam dunk in front of girls, and those who are good at singing will find opportunities to sing love songs under the girl's bedroom.
And Ke Jingteng is a boy who thinks he is very good at fighting, he has almost never lost a fight since he was a child, so he has always wanted to show Shen Jiayi his talents in this area, hoping that Shen Jiayi will feel that he is very powerful, very handsome, very manly, and fall in love with him after watching the game.
But the fact is that Ke Jingteng can't do it at all, it's just that he used to fight some equally weak classmates, and he was beaten miserably by the other party as soon as he got into the ring, and Shen Jiayi didn't think he was handsome at all, and even thought he was very naïve, so he had a big fight, and the two broke up from then on, which was also the most painful scene of the first love of the nine knives.
And in this scene, the most important shot is that Ke Jingteng happened to see Shen Jiayi in the audience after he fell to the ground, and the two looked at each other, expressing completely different reactions.
There are no lines at all in this scene, all of which are conveyed by the two actors through their expressions and body language, which is no easier than the stunt scene between Ge You and Sun Li in "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb".
Thinking back to the scene just now, in fact, Ruan Jingtian and Ha Ji Won acted not badly, but the strength of the relationship was not enough at all, of course, the problem will definitely not be on Ha Ji Won's side, this is a scene of stacked emotions, and the close-up of Ha Ji Won comes from the intensity of the first emotion conveyed by Ruan Jing Tian.
Li Xiaole deliberated about it here, and also realized that Ruan Jingtian has the same problem as the original Ke Zhendong, and the intensity of this emotional processing is not enough, it is very insufficient......
Thinking about this, Li Xiaole got up and walked over to Ruan Jingtian and said, "Xiaotian, the feeling you felt when you were beaten just now didn't hurt at all, I can't see your painful expression...... You have to show that the pain is more intense, you have to be beaten until you can't get up, you feel angry and powerless, and then the moment you see Shen Jiayi appear, you can send out your happy emotions~"
"Okay, I'll try again~" Ruan Jingtian nodded.
"Okay, all departments are ready to do it all over again."
Everyone reorganized and did everything all over again, but the result was filmed, it was still the same as just now, the strength of Ruan Jingtian's expression was too far behind, Li Xiaole sighed helplessly in his heart, this is not because Ruan Jingtian does not work hard, but because he can't reach his ability, although Ruan Jingtian is very compatible with the role of Ke Jingteng, and he usually plays well, but once he is not allowed to say his lines, he only uses his expressions and body to express his emotions, his acting skills are thin.
Li Xiaole's brain is running rapidly, when the actor's acting skills are weak, as a director, there are many ways to remedy it, such as the cutting of the shot, and the use of third-party reactions to make up for it, but this scene is a big close-up of emotional reloading, these methods are not advisable, then there is only one mode left, that is, to think that to create emotional intensity, Ruan Jingtian is not painful enough, so let him really suffer, and replace the acting skills with real reactions......
