Chapter 251: Epilogue (Seven Watches)

In fact, as a director, Hu Yifei also felt helpless about the frequent laughter on the set, but he also felt that this was understandable: he couldn't blame the actors for this, it was everyone's laughter that could better illustrate how good the story Hu Yifei filmed.
Just like Furuta Le, he will seriously ponder the role himself and even sacrifice his image. Zach looks stupid, but people are not that stupid, and it is even more difficult to get ahead in Hollywood. After so many years of career, he has also developed the character to seize any opportunity, such as the scene where he was about to be knocked down by Tyson, there was no cushion on the ground, but he would not hesitate to fall straight to the ground. Chen Baixiang hasn't had his turn to appear yet, but he is still happy wherever he goes. He is the least stress-free one, because he has already achieved fame, and he came here with a vacation mentality. However, he can give many useful suggestions based on his solid experience. When others are performing, he will also give exaggerated reactions, making people feel that they are not playing standalone, which is more helpful for the actor's performance.
This is very good, everyone is a very professional actor, and when playing their own roles, they can have an extremely relaxed state, so that they can integrate into their respective roles, and the laughter scene is also a kind of relaxation to a certain extent.
The filming of this movie went smoothly, it didn't seem to take long, and most of the scenes were indoors, Hu Yifei had enough time for the actors to slowly adjust their state, so he didn't worry that the laughter would affect the shooting and even the overall quality of the film. On the contrary, it gives a lot of interesting tidbits to the DVD production, and the audience will probably want to see how they laugh as much as the audience off-camera.
Although there is an original movie in his mind to compare, Hu Yifei will not follow the rules.
Often when discussing the plot on the set and in private meetings, they are asked to try more for every plot that happens in the movie.
An excellent actor can get out of the script and do some improvisation, at first he didn't dare to do this, he could only carefully direct according to the reference in his mind, but later Hu Yifei found that they always have a lot of ideas when actually shooting, and sometimes the appropriate on-the-spot performance can add a lot to the film, but this requires prior communication with the actors, as well as mastering an appropriate limit.
It's okay to make jokes, but it's okay to really make the audience feel funny, not the actors themselves. This requires a certain amount of room to play.
I have to say that after this movie, Hu Yifei should also learn more.
……
Charlize has been listening to Hu Yifei talk about his directing scriptures and did not interrupt him. In fact, it is also a situation to alleviate the embarrassment of meeting each other, humans are social animals, and they can only become familiar through conversation.
"Sounds great, maybe I'll try more comedy in the future. But I'd rather make another one of your films, and you promised me. ”
Hu Yifei said seriously: "I've always been good at talking, do you want to sign another contract or something?" Charlize said: "No, the contract that has not yet been established is not useful, and I don't want to bind myself." What's more, the last thing Hollywood can trust is men's promises. ”
"......," Hu Yifei shrugged, "maybe I'll be an accident because I don't belong to Hollywood yet." By the way, you don't have to show your breasts for the role, that's a mistake on my part, because I never thought that I would really invite you to play this role. ”
Charlize laughed, "I don't mind being naked if it's really needed." It is only natural for a mother to breastfeed her baby, and I always think that is the most beautiful shot. Like you said, I'm an actor. ”
Hu Yifei was stunned for a moment, and his heart struggled violently, and then let go, "Okay, you prepare first, I'll try to be as subtle as possible." ”
The actress is naked, and it sounds very tempting. Before the start of filming, it was inevitable that there would be some commotion, but when it was really filming, Hu Yifei realized that he was thinking too much. Except for Zach, who needs to stare at it all the time, everyone else is immersed in the character.
Charlize came in a hurry, stayed for two days, and left after Hu Yifei finished filming her scene. Hu Yifei only had time to give him a ride, "Charlize, if we want to use your fame to promote the movie, do you have any opinions?" ”
"The movie is good, and I'm sure you'll succeed. If that helps you, use it. If the release time is right, maybe it will help you do publicity. ”
"Thank you so much." In addition to this sentence, Hu Yifei found that he had nothing else to say, which was really embarrassing.
……
Charlize is gone, and Chenlong reappears. He makes a cameo appearance as a gambler, and after encountering a drunken foursome winning money in the casino, he provokes and fights. After that, I followed the foursome everywhere in a daze. But after that, in Hu Yifei's scenes, he will appear on the camera with a black eye socket. The special effect of Allen's winning money in this game will also be very interesting, if on the other side of the mathematical formula, there are more special effects of superimposing the winning dollar numbers, $1000, $2000...... It must be intuitive.
The last big name in the crew appeared in the desert scene, and Will Smith's appearance was another flavor.
Driving a black Humvee, everywhere you go is hip-hop style, and there is no sense of distance from the big names.
When I found Hu Yifei in private, I talked about another thing: "Man, I plan to star in your script, do you have any suggestions?" ”
"That was a great decision." Hu Yifei said with a smile: "My only suggestion is to ask you to be the producer of this movie." You don't even have to worry about the investment, I can invest it in full, as long as you do your best to make this movie well. Trust me, I really like this story and don't want it to deviate in any way. That's why I found my favorite black actor to star in. This is a true adaptation of the story, an inspirational story of a down-and-out black salesman who is on the verge of bankruptcy and whose wife has left home, how he works hard to fulfill his responsibilities as a single parent, strives to become a stock market trader, and finally becomes a well-known financial investor. Over the years, you have made so many commercial films with mixed reputations, don't you want to get closer to the Oscars? ”
Will Smith was a little moved, for the first time someone had written a script specifically for him on how to suit his taste, "That's it." ”
"When Happiness Knocks on the Door" is a very touching story, Hu Yifei used this script as a stepping stone, and invited Will Smith, who he had never met, to make a cameo, which can be regarded as borrowing flowers to offer Buddha. And the reason why he was able to invite the other party was because this script fit Will's ideas, so that he could succeed. Otherwise, it will not be his turn to exploit the loopholes in Hollywood's thousands of scripts. But he doesn't plan to direct this play, it's enough to be a producer.
The two talked a lot about the script, and for a while they felt like they were too late to see each other.
Will is clearly obsessed with traumatized characters right now, "You know man, I've been thinking, 'How do you get on with life when you lose something important in your life?'" 'There are a lot of traumas left by childhood or adolescence, and I was hit when I was 15 years old, and my first girlfriend betrayed me, and it literally destroyed my mind and affected my life. When I think about it now, it's scary. ”
Hu Yifei chatted with him and gave many suggestions. Including the selection of directors and other issues.
But this time, the focus is obviously not on "When Happiness Knocks on the Door", although Will Smith is not drunk and warm, but the filming of "The Hangover" still has to continue.
Hu Yifei saw that his car was so cool, so he simply offered to borrow it. (To be continued.) )
