Chapter 6: The First Movie

In fact, making movies in the seventies and eighties was a very simple thing, there were very few exterior scenes, most of them were shot indoors, and some scenes needed only needed two canvases to be done, but after the film really entered the business model, the shooting cycle also became longer, a movie of more than two hours took a year or two to complete, and the shooting location alone would be filmed in several countries.

However, Huo Que's movie really doesn't need to be arranged, let alone change any scenes, first, there is no budget, and second, the movie doesn't need those gimmicks.

Huo Que, who was a director for the first time, was always a little rusty, but with the cooperation of an old actor like Brown, the filming of this movie was also very smooth, and Brown really regarded this movie as his famous work, so whether it was when he entered the play or after the play, he was extremely serious, not only did he have very high requirements for himself, but he was not at all polite to his old friends, as long as there was a slight difference, he would take the initiative to stop.

Under the influence of Brown, Huo Que also became stern, even if a subtle expression on an actor's face was not in place, he would immediately stop directing and then shoot again. Therefore, all the actors in the entire crew were also infected, and they were all 12 points invested in the filming of the movie.

And Qiao Qian, who volunteered to be the "assistant director", couldn't help but admire Huo Que when she saw this situation, no matter what, Huo Que was twenty-two years old and could make a group of forty or fifty-year-old people obey, which is a rare charm.

Three days later, the final scene of the movie came, and it was also the finishing touch of the whole movie, psychologist Will Gruber heard the protagonist John Oldman talk about being a professor at Harvard under the pseudonym John Thomas Patti sixty years ago, and proved that he was his biological father, this scene is particularly crucial, because when the audience watches this movie in the early stage, they will think that John is making up an interesting story, but at the last moment, the death of a person will mobilize the whole story to **.

In fact, there is another scene behind this, but Huo Que filmed that scene in advance and put this scene to the end.

The actor who plays Will Gruber is an old man in his sixties, named Gabby Esther, he used to be a professor at a certain university, but he has loved movies since he was a child, so after he retired, he joined the vast army of extras, not to make money, but to see himself in some shots, when he first got the script, he was even more surprised, and immediately promised Brown that as long as he was allowed to play the second male lead, not to mention the salary, even if he was given money, he would do it, because of his love, is really talented in acting, and it is easy to play some old and serious roles, but in order to pass this scene at one time, Huo Que and Brown and Gabi still discussed it seriously.

The clapperboard played, Brown and Shiryl began to talk, to put it mildly, but it sounded a little thrilling, this is the time when the mystery is revealed, the plot that has been tense for more than an hour is about to be revealed at this moment, and Gabi stood in the doorway, listening to Brown's eloquent words, but his brows slowly began to wrinkle.

Gabi's acting skills are very outstanding, just relying on a face, without any other actions, the complex and incomprehensible feelings in his heart are vividly expressed, and then, Gabi asks questions, and then Brown proves them one by one, and finally the unbelievable Gabi suddenly has a heart attack and leaves......

"Stop ......"

Huo Que gave an order, everyone looked at him in unison, with a hint of expectation and nervousness in their eyes, Huo Que smiled at the corner of his mouth, turned off the camera, and announced loudly: "This Man is from Earth" is officially completed, thank you for your hard work. ”

"Ah......h

The scene boiled and cheered, just like the relatives waiting outside the delivery room, excited when they heard the crisp and tender cry.

This movie is not so much Huo Que's work, but the work of everyone present, Brown is free to star, because he thinks that this movie will be popular, and he has put all his energy into making it seriously, and everyone else is the same, because this is the first movie they starred in with a heavy role, and here they are too addicted to drama.

In fact, there is still a long time before a movie is filmed to be able to watch normally, first, filming movies are interspersed with plots, sometimes for convenience or saving money, all the scenes in one scene will be filmed, and then another scene will be filmed, so the shooting process is disorganized, so post-editing is needed, the so-called editing is to compose those broken pictures into a complete movie.

Second, that is the special effects, how important the special effects of a movie are don't need to be listed one by one, as long as you know that there is a movie called "The Matrix".

The third is dubbing, just like Hollywood movies going to China, and in order to make it more convenient and comfortable for Chinese people, there will be professionals who translate English into Chinese. Of course, now except for most CDs, the release is in the form of English Chinese subtitles, and more people believe that this has the least impact on the viewing effect.

However, these complicated and costly things are not needed for Huo Que, special effects? The biggest theme of his whole movie is reality, so the special effects have become a painting snake, dubbing, if it is released abroad in the later stage, it is not a matter of now, as for the soundtrack, "This Man is from Earth" has a piece of music from beginning to end, the second movement of Beethoven's Symphony No. 7, or the protagonist himself turned on the radio and played. So all he's left with now is editing.

Editing is also a very cumbersome thing, and it is also a very important link, for example, "Wuji" and "A Bloody Case Caused by a Steamed Bun" were originally a movie, but after two different people edited it out with different editing techniques, the effect is self-evident.

Huo Que is a meticulous person, in the evening, he took out his last little deposit and invited everyone in the crew to have a snack, and then returned to the house he rented before with the film, he wanted to restore the feeling of this movie as much as possible when he saw it on the earth, of course, he must definitely add some of his own things, otherwise he will not learn in vain as a director over the years?

This is a platform for him to test his skills, and it is also an opportunity for him to show his strength.

For three days, he spent three days in his small room without leaving his house, and the combination of his beard and unwashed hair made him look like a poor beggar...... No, when he opened the door to Josie, she thought so much when she saw him for the first time that she almost screamed in fright.

"Oh my God, what's wrong with you?" Josie asked worriedly.

"Come on." Huo Que hurriedly pulled Qiao Qian to the sofa and sat down, and then hurriedly turned on the TV. At the beginning of the movie, Josie noticed that something was wrong, because there was no logo of the film company at the beginning, and she was stunned, and the title that appeared on the screen in the next second proved her guess, and it was "This Man is from Earth".

Although Qiao Qian was basically present when Huo Que was filming this film, the overall editing feeling was completely different from what she saw on the set.

This is not surprising, most of the top fans will definitely surprise you if they go to the set, only what you see on the screen is the real movie, it is the real art, just like a novel, the same word, the same word, different combinations, will present a different feeling.

That's the beauty of art.

When Josie watched this movie, she didn't say a word from beginning to end, and her eyes never left the screen, when the film ended, she stared at Huo Que like a child, with admiration and shock on her face, she really couldn't believe that the submissive and taciturn classmate before would make such a shocking movie.

"Huo, I can't believe you took it." Josie bit her lip and seemed to organize words: "Even, I can't believe that you are my classmate, Huo." ”

Huo Que smiled: "I'm Huo, your classmate." ”
