Chapter 215: While the Shooting is in Progress
The movie "Infernal Affairs" has a strong story throughout the movie, and it is also a great test for the actors' acting skills.
This time, the filming location was a temple, and the filming was the scene before Han Chen sent an undercover agent to the police academy. This scene is also the beginning of the film. In the last life, at the beginning of this movie, Han Chen played by Zeng Zhiwei can be said to be the first to take the lead.
As soon as it came up, that kind of big brother temperament came into being, so that many people were immediately attracted by the film when they saw it. Even in later generations, the theme of gangsters and undercover police is rare, let alone at this time.
Therefore, the choice of this theme is also quite innovative.
Chen Ge sat behind the monitor, staring at the panoramic view of the scene, watching the scene through the bracket, and taking everything into his eyes.
On the side, the staff didn't dare to breathe. Just after the worship ceremony, the camera was officially started, and the scene was quiet.
In front of the Daxiong Treasure Hall, the smoke in the incense burner rises slowly, and the sandalwood coils the smoke, which looks antique and full of Zen. The Buddha smiled and felt compassionate. On the side, some monks are reciting scriptures, looking solemn and solemn.
This Buddhist scene is also the beginning of the film, which actually contains the Zen meaning of the so-called "Infernal Affairs" of Buddhism. It can also be regarded as a small transformation of Chen Ge's film. Although this point was also involved in the Infernal Affairs of the previous life, it was not really excavated. The description of the scene is missing.
For this reason, Chen Ge filmed this scene with all his heart. Sticking to the theme, it can be regarded as a mention of this movie, and it can also be regarded as a profound implication for the content of the film in the future. In addition to this, it is also an emphasis on contradictions.
In such a Buddhist place, a row of young people dressed as old boys stand in front of the door, which is definitely a contradictory contrast between darkness and light. Therefore, when filming this scene, the lighting is also extremely important. Otherwise, it would be difficult to control the portrayal of this contradiction.
In these details, Chen Ge is very demanding. Even the control of each shot is very important, and it involves the composition of each shot. Each simple shot may not be anything, but when these shots are connected, there is a big difference.
Therefore, Chen Ge attaches great importance to every detail. This is also Chen Ge's unique insight in film shooting when he followed Lu Liang to shoot the East and the West, and every picture pays attention to composition, which definitely tests the director's adaptability and solid skills, as well as his awareness of this movie.
In addition to several cameras on the ground, the hall also set up a rocker arm and a crane arm to shoot from above, making the film more diverse.
“action~!”
The corners of a man's mouth were slightly raised, his hands were folded, and he worshiped the Buddha statue, then he got up, straightened up with an indifferent face, and tore off a check and handed it to the fat man wearing a flower shirt next to him.
The subordinate played by Fat Man Cheng handed the check to the monk.
The camera swept away, and a row of old boys stood in front of the door of the Daxiong Treasure Palace, all of them dare not breathe. Huang Xiaoming's role was also standing in it, and he looked very nervous.
This time, Huang Xiaoming got the opportunity to play the young Liu Jianming in the movie "Infernal Affairs", which is Liu Dehua's youth. Speaking of which, it is the role of Edison Chen in the later generations. At this point, Huang Xiaoming's performance should not be a problem.
The big guy's eyes swept over a row of old boys, and his originally faint eyes became very sharp, he was Han Chen.
Originally, this role Chen Ge was going to be handed over to Zeng Zhiwei to play, after all, Zeng Zhiwei's villain was quite brilliant. But after inquiring with He Man, I learned that Zeng Zhiwei had not made a movie for many years, and even He Man's face could not invite him out of the mountain. Therefore, Chen Ge finally relied on the audition and chose a second-tier actor with an unknown reputation to play the domineering and arrogant Han Chen.
For the role of Han Chen, having seen the acting skills of this second-tier actor named Han Dong, Chen Ge felt that he was absolutely handy and very suitable. At this point, he should not lose to Zeng Zhiwei's version of Han Chen, Han Dong's acting skills are actually at the level of a first-line actor, and he may have been tepid because of his image, Chen Ge is very confident in Han Dong, and Han Dong's acting skills should be enough to make Han Chen brilliant enough.
Regarding the change in this point, Chen Ge was a little worried at first. However, when he saw Han Dong performing, Chen Ge was relieved. His performance is really eye-catching. Definitely not lost to the performance of Zeng Zhiwei in the previous life.
"Five years ago......" Han Dong coldly swept the young man in front of him, "Tuen Mun Daxing Village, the parking stall of the Palace Restaurant...... The opening is auspicious-" Speaking of this, Han Dong's face was full of smiling flesh and flesh, and he felt like a smiling tiger. There was even a sneer in his eyes.
"My brothers and I are ambitious, but I didn't expect that we would be swept away a little or three times a day in less than half a month after it opened......" Han Dong said this, and his originally lofty tone suddenly became gloomy, "In one year, six brothers died—"
The tyrannical emotion on Han Dong's face mixed with sadness and depression flashed, and he faced the Buddha, and said with a high momentum and a little luck: "Buddha bless!! ”
Han Chen, played by Han Dong, glanced at everyone with sharp eyes, and said coldly: "The fortune teller said that I am a success!" But I don't agree with ......"
Han Dong's face rose slightly, slightly arrogant, shaking his fingers, his cold gaze scanned everyone again, and said lightly: "I think it is up to you to decide whether you come out to mix up life or death!" You have followed me for the shortest time, the cleanest foundation, how to walk the road......"
"You pick your own ......" Han Dong's eyes were full of squint, and his face was a big man, his eyes looked directly at everyone, full of domineering.
I have to admit that Han Dong's acting skills really surprised Chen Ge. Originally, Zeng Zhiwei's version of Han Chen was already a classic character. But seeing Han Dong's performance at this moment, Chen Ge can only say that Han Dong's acting skills are really extraordinary, and his understanding and control of the role are not lost to Zeng Zhiwei at all.
It's no wonder that most of the roles in the movies he has filmed before are all kinds of heroes, after all, even a heroic character like Han Chen is quite shocking under his performance. Many of the staff were dumbfounded.
"Okay, I wish you all ......" Han Dong took the wine glass, paused, and said with a cold face: "It's smooth sailing in the police department, step by step!" Cheers, sir-".
After pouring this glass of wine, Han Dong's eyes still did not leave the old boys present, and at this moment he also substituted himself into the play. Even actors like Huang Xiaoming look at Han Dong and have a feeling of facing a real boss.
Huang Xiaoming also drank the glass of wine with everyone, his handsome face was a little confused, although the whole person did not speak, but standing there also revealed a bit of heroic momentum. I have to say that Huang Xiaoming is really handsome, and it is very suitable to play this role. "Ka-"
Just when the scene fell into the atmosphere created by Han Dong, Chen Ge directly shouted the end of the voice.
"Han Dong performed well, but he was more domineering, but he seemed to lack a bit of a city feeling, everyone take a rest first, and then come again. Remember, Han Chen's character is very deep, domineering and arrogant, but he has to show his city. I want you to be able to convey the message with your eyes and facial micro-expressions. Han Dong, take a good rest and walk again in a while. Chen Ge didn't wait for Han Dong to calm down, and put forward his own opinions and requirements to him.
"Okay, director." Han Dong was originally relieved after the filming was completed, and he thought that the shooting effect this time was good. But hearing Chen Ge's words, he could only accept it with an open mind, after all, as an actor who has been on the second line for many years, such a big production, and making movies with so many famous actors, Han Dong cherishes this opportunity.
Chen Ge's suggestion to Han Dong is naturally not made casually, he has his own "life information" set up for each actor according to this role, including hobbies, personality, speaking habits and so on.
