Chapter 110: Dongmu's Decision

Let me start with two words......

Thank you again for not giving up, I said that if you don't know TJ, you won't have TJ, and it must be because of some force majeure.

As long as my body allows, and I have free time, I will definitely keep writing.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

Ten o'clock in the morning, on the set of Fox.

"This time, your limelight is too big, but no matter how you look at it, the risks are greater than the benefits, right?" Eastwood squinted his eyes and looked at Caesar Road with undisguised appreciation.

Of course, this refers to the fact that during the Gulf War, Caesar went to the battlefield to shoot in person.

Looking at the appreciative gaze of this old man nicknamed Dongmu by Chinese fans, Caesar accepted it calmly without blushing.

"I drove myself to the shelves, and I can't blame others."

Although sitting on the seat in the open space of the set, Caesar leaned back in the chair as he spoke, relaxing his body as much as possible while crossing Erlang's legs.

"And I'm not unscathed? The greatest strength of my life is good luck. ”

Eastwood, though happy with Caesar's relaxation in the face of himself (indicating that he didn't treat himself as an outsider), did not agree with Caesar's theory of luck.

Caesar's physical fitness and physical ability were witnessed by Eastwood, and on the set of "Die Hard", many action scenes were given to Bruce by the director Caesar in front of Eastwood and Stallone? What Willis demonstrated, it can be said that in terms of intensity, beauty and fluency of the action alone, Willis cannot be 100% restored.

In the face of such a Caesar, at that time, Stallone, a fitness maniac who dared to play "Rocky" with actual combat boxing, was only left with cold sweat and repeated amazement.

Caesar's occasional appearance on the set of "Die Hard" left a very deep impression on Eastwood and Stallone at that time, and Willis, as the protagonist, was actually the most surprised.

Willis, who had been in the SEAL camp for half a year, was the one who best understood Caesar's physical strength, because many of Caesar's demonstrations not only lacked beauty, but also lost the fluidity, naturalness and lightness of his weights.

Eastwood may not be as impressive as Willis, but he also understands that Caesar's physicality and skill have surpassed most professional soldiers.

It was not surprising that Caesar could return from the battlefield unscathed, and Eastwood was only concerned out of friendship.

"Well, I've never been worried about my safety, so let's talk about your film anyway." Caesar didn't want to talk too much on this issue, and many times it was wrong to say too much.

"Correct, it's our movie." Eastwood also clearly sensed Caesar's shift in conversation, so he took the opportunity to change the topic.

Immediately afterward, the two exchanged a lot about the overall tone of the film, and Caesar finally had to confirm Eastwood's determination.

"I'll make sure one last time, old man, are you sure you want me to be the photographer? You know, the style of the cinematographer can affect the tone of a movie. As he spoke, Caesar looked at his watch, and saw that lunch time was approaching, and he was really a little hungry.

Caesar had asked this for the third time, not because he was nagging, but out of respect for Eastwood.

For a film, in addition to the actor and producer, the three positions of director, photographer, and editor have the greatest influence on the style of the film.

For example, Mr. Jiang Wen's classic work "Sunny Day" in Caesar's memory is a typical photography pilot film.

Photographer Gu Changwei uses a lot of backlighting, overexposure and even artificial bright light to create a golden theme tone for the whole film.

The whole movie can be said to be filled with the smell of sunlight because of the cinematographer's skill, and even overflow the frame, so that people can smell the unique fragrance of ultraviolet rays when they kill germs while sitting in front of the screen.

When people recall this film, they may not remember so many details, they may not remember Xia Yu, Ningning, Jiang Wen, Feng Xiaogang and Wang Shuo, but they can definitely recall the golden yellow that filled their eyes.

That's how important a photographer is, and it's definitely hard to ignore.

Eastwood gave the same answer to Caesar's three questions.

"It has to be you." The tone is unmistakable.

Eastwood's idea was simple, and Caesar's help was a learning process for him.

When he first saw Caesar's Sin City and Die Hard, the shock he received was subversive.

Eastwood is too cool and handsome, and has played many cool and handsome roles, so that he is too attractive to women, so his private life is more chaotic, no way, "as long as he is beautiful, he will not refuse", a handsome guy with this character can never be messed up. But this man's pursuit of art has never stopped.

That's right, these are Hollywood's top filmmakers, who never miss any opportunity to learn and will not hesitate to translate what they have learned into their own style.

Eastwood was also outspoken, saying that he asked Caesar for help in order to learn Caesar's film style.

When it comes to that, Caesar doesn't have to worry about it, and he doesn't care who learns his style.

Whether you learn it or not, Caesar's movies are there, you can buy videos and DVDs at will, and there is no doubt that Caesar's cinematic aesthetics will radiate out sooner or later. So Caesar didn't care at all that someone imitated himself.

After the lunch break, the entire crew finally got into action under the organization of Eastwood and Caesar.

Except for the short-sighted young cowboy replaced by Caesar, everyone else is the original cast in his memory.

Caesar and Eastwood discussed it and decided to finish Caesar's role first, so that Caesar could concentrate on being the photographer.

When Caesar performs, Pete, Caesar's royal photographer, is temporarily served, and this thing is to learn Caesar's photography techniques by Caesar's side anyway.

Interestingly, Caesar didn't have any serious photography techniques at all, and he had only fiddled with digital cameras in his previous life, and the first time he fiddled with a film camera in his life was when he needed a long shot of Stenicom in the hallway during the filming of Pulp Fiction.

Of course, this does not prevent Caesar from becoming a top photographer, because he has the development of energy bodies and the massive movies he has seen in his previous life.

The sheer volume of the film meant that Caesar had too many options to choose from, which ensured that every shot was very sophisticated, and that he had a special ability to handle heavy film cameras with a light, if not a finger.

In fact, these two advantages alone can make Caesar one of Hollywood's top cinematographers.

Even though Pete spends his days at the gym while fiddling with the camera, he is still envious of Caesar's "strange powers".

Soon, Caesar's scenes were filmed except for the locations, and then according to the pre-planned shooting sequence, the first scene is exactly the beginning of the film, which is also the origin of the whole story.

On a rainy night in late autumn, two drunken cowboys were spending in the town's technical institute, and the older one was not majestic enough under his crotch, but the technical girl couldn't hold back on the spot and issued a sentence "So small!" Marvel.

The whole film seems to have caused a series of bloodshed and tragedy for the sake of this aria.

The cowboy who was not majestic enough in his crotch angrily drew his knife and cut the face of the technician, only to be caught on the spot by the owner of the technical institute and summoned the sheriff.

As a result, the sheriff did not know whether it was because of discrimination against women or technicians, in any case, he neither beat them nor arrested them, but only asked the two cowboys who committed the murder to use sycophants as compensation, and the compensation was only for the owner of the technician, not for the victim technician herself.

This aroused resentment among the technicians, who could be despised, spurned, and even endured abuse, but they could not accept being disfigured, and after being ruined, they would be treated like cattle or goods.

So after a meeting, they pulled out their savings and prepared a bounty for revenge on the two cowboys.

This is the general content of the first chamber play, nothing particularly noteworthy, the old drama bone Jean who plays little Bill? Hackman completed the acting task very smoothly, and the other supporting characters and actors were also in great shape, which made a good start to the filming of the whole film.

The only thing that felt different was Caesar, and although it wasn't his first time operating a film camera, it was his first time operating a film machine as a photographer.

It can be said that the feeling of standing behind the camera is completely different from the feeling of standing behind the monitor, and when he focuses all his attention on the aspects of color, light and shadow, and composition without thinking about the performance, the things that he can't help but think about are indeed very different from when he is holding the guide.

Even so, Eastwood was pleasantly surprised by what he saw as he sat behind the monitor.

In the eyes of this Togi, Caesar's lens is not much different from the lens he once imagined in his heart, but the details are handled so that people can feel the skill.

For example, this set of shots of the cowboy cutting through the face of the technical girl, although it is not an action scene, but with the rapid movement of the characters in a small range of the frame, Caesar's camera always firmly grasps the main body of the action.

However, the original version in Caesar's memories of his previous life has some minor flaws in this scene, such as the subject of the shot leaving the center of the frame, and the action is not explained clearly.

Of course, it could also be the effect that Higashi Mutou in his previous life deliberately wanted as a director or photographer?

The shaky camera is clearly drawn into violence, chaos and fear pervade the frame.

Caesar's shots are the opposite, he is more like a calm spectator, which is manifested in the camera as stability and distance.

However, when the Techs argue with Bill, the Archon, over how to punish the Cowboy who hurts, Caesar tells the Techgirl and Bill Jr. to hide half of their faces in the shadows forever.

From beginning to end, everyone's faces are shrouded in shadows, except for the technician who was injured in the face and the two cowboys who committed the murder.

In Eastwood's eyes, there is basically no one who is more adept at using shadow storytelling than Caesar. (To be continued.) )
