How to tell the story in a way that makes it addictive is the most fascinating part of the movie.

The strongest feeling that the whole "Dark Knight" gave to the new crew was: it didn't look like watching a movie, but like watching the essence version of "24". Including Charles Rowan, Erica Kardashian and others, all rave about the part of the movie that has already been made.

If Charles were a film critic, he would happily give "The Dark Knight" such compliments as "high tides", "constant suspense", and "roller coaster from start to finish". If you analyze it more deeply, you will find that Hu Yifei completely abandoned the traditional genre film narrative mode that Hollywood has tried and tested for decades in this "Dark Knight" movie, and then boldly borrowed the narrative rhythm of American dramas.

It's like another "Prison Break", but it's more high-end than "Prison Break".

What should a traditional narrative look like?

A scholar named Sidfield has summarized in several books the basic structure of a mature commercial script under the Hollywood system: the first act construction, the second act confrontation, and the third act ending; In the part that builds the end of an act, there is plot point I; In the part near the end of the confrontation scene, there is plot point II. Plot point I and plot point II are the two most critical plot points in the narrative process of the script, respectively, and their task is to turn the plot to the next act, in the form of "an event that 'hooks' the action and turns it in the other direction".

The essence of Hollywood is the production line, and a successful model is summed up after countless successful or failed market cases, and once it is effective, Hollywood has never been afraid to use it repeatedly.

Charles Rowan doesn't dare to say that all Hollywood scripts are written according to Sidfield's textbooks, but the vast majority of commercial and artistic masterpieces can see the huge effect of this model.

Hu Yifei basically ignores the consideration of the general model, but organizes contradictions and conflicts from clues, which is why everyone feels very excited: the screenwriters of American dramas are full of thoughts about the density of conflict creation and resolution, and they don't think much about the rhythm of the drama; From the first minute to the last minute, Hu Yifei's films are constantly creating conflicts, resolving conflicts, creating greater conflicts, and resolving greater conflicts...... Until the butterfly effect finally occurred, which evolved into a war and social storm that affected the entire city.

From the very beginning of the bank robbery - the Joker, the gangster, Gordon, to the "scarecrow" - the gangster, Batman, the citizen......

There are as many as 23 conflicts, and almost all the people involved in each conflict are different; Each conflict is indispensable, and all set the stage for one or more of the following conflicts; No single conflict can involve all people; No one person can relate to all conflicts; No single conflict dominates the film; No one person dominates the whole film.

These people, these things, are covered in a huge net.

Everything is resolved, everyone has their own ending, and the whole process is intertwined and influenced by each other......

Even as a top Hollywood producer, Charles Rowan has watched so many movies, even palace-level movies like "T2", "The Godfather", and "The Line of Fire", he can't organize such a huge and complex network in such a short time.

I have to be admired!

……

Time has stepped into May, and in the blink of an eye, "The Dark Knight" has been filming for more than four months, in this new week.

Scarlett was about to give birth, but Hu Yifei couldn't leave.

He's already a little enchanted, and his performance is really scary, amazing! Even Michael Kane, Gary Oldman, Christian Bale, Kate Beckinsale and others were taken by surprise.

With a wave of his hand, he ordered the shooting to begin.

After the word "action".

It was like an electric shock that flashed through him and he became a completely different person, the Joker.

The whole person was crazy, and from time to time he stretched out the tip of his red tongue and licked his lips. is always walking with his body up, with a crazy expression, but such a contradictory combination is almost perfectly interpreted by Hu Yifei.

“Why-so-serious！ (Why is it so serious?) ）”

The scene where the kidnapping scene was filmed was originally a bustling charity fundraising banquet, but it was parachuted in by the clown. A crazy look, as soon as he appeared on the stage, he suppressed all the dignitaries. He is like an unscrupulous demon king who makes everyone tremble in battle.

"You know...... You remind me of my dad. But I don't like him! The clown grabbed a clue and put the knife in his mouth, "Do you want to know where I got this scar?" My father was a ...... Drinker...... It's a beast. One night, he went mad more than usual. Mom had to pound more in the kitchen and take a knife to defend herself. When he saw it, he was very angry, very angry! So, I saw that he stabbed my mom and stabbed me back while laughing maniacally. Suddenly, he turned to me and said, "Why-so-serious!" ”

So he came up to me with a knife...... "The hostage's face was already stiff, and he didn't dare to move. Even if he knew that he was acting, he was worried that Hu Yifei would go crazy and really give himself a knife.

“Why-so-serious？”

Hu Yifei suddenly asked about the hostage with a stiff face, and the audience was terrified.

Reggie glanced around, trying to stop, but swallowed again.

Hu Yifei grinned, making the scar even more hideous, "How good is it to give a dessert smile on your face, and then what?" He spoke flirtatiously and looked at the stiff-looking hostages in the audience, "Why-so-serious? ”

A short line that reveals the Joker's unknown past. The clown is not an orphan, he has a father and a mother, a complete family, but a rather unfortunate family. His father was an alcoholic and a pervert, and he abused his mother and him all day long, and it was such a family that created the dark and ugly character of the Joker, who spent his gray childhood in extreme fear, leaving an indelible mark (scar on his mouth). A boy with an extremely twisted psychology, "Why are you so serious?" ”

“cut！”

Reggie couldn't wait to shout to stop, and everyone in the Zhou crew breathed a sigh of relief. "Galen, come and see, it's very exciting!"

Hu Yifei put down the knife, walked to the director's seat with a blank face, saw a group of serious people around him, and jokingly said: "Why-so-serious? ”

Reggie, Vare, Erica, and the others suddenly froze.

"Hah...... funny！ ”

There were a few stiff laughs, and Erica looked at him a little worriedly, "Galen, don't you need a break?" ”

Hu Yifei smiled, but he didn't remove his makeup, which made Erica nervous again. After squatting for a long time, he said, "It's okay...... Scarlett is about to give birth, and I have a week off. Guys, don't blame me for being lazy, during this time, the other scenes were filmed as usual, and I arranged them. ”

Christian Bale laughed, "It's okay. Galen, congratulations on becoming a dad. ”

"Thank you."

If there were still people who questioned what Hu Yifei would be like if he wanted to play a clown, then now, looking at Hu Yifei's chilling demeanor and demeanor, the audience is already amazed. (To be continued.) )
