Not choosing the wrong career, this is Lin Feihong's idea, being a director has always been his dream, and now the dream is being realized step by step, and the road to directing is going higher and higher. The joy of being a director is that if you want the character to die, live and live, everything is under your control, and Lin Feihong likes this feeling very much.

So he likes to make movies very much, and he likes the process of shooting, because in the process of shooting, he can not only control the pattern of the entire movie, setting, character fate, etc., this kind of control is like writing a novel, everything of the protagonist is controlled by his own pen, driving the life of several people, and controlling their fate, this kind of life and death privilege is far greater than that of Lord Yama.

In addition to the accident, the most important thing in a movie is the setting, including the plot setting, sub-shot setting, scene setting, etc., once set, it is relatively easy to shoot, of course, this setting will not change in general, and it is inevitable that there will be slight changes during the filming process, just like when shooting the casino scene, some new gameplay is temporarily decided during the filming process.

The filming process is more tedious and complicated, but it is this process that is the most meaningful, that is, in this process you can realize the true meaning of the director's profession, once a movie is made and put on the screen, the role of the director loses its meaning, this time is the most boring time for the director, and the most ** moment, the feeling at that time is like an old man, who worked hard to raise the child, and now the child's wings are hard to fly into the distance, leaving the lonely old man alone in the house.

If it was before, Lin Feihong would be very afraid of this feeling, in the past, he would race against time to cherish every detail and every process of shooting, although he also hoped that this process would end soon. But this time is different, because after the filming of "The Shawshank Redemption", he still has a "Paradise Cinema" that has been decided not to be filmed, so he will not feel lonely and bored after "The Shawshank Redemption" is over, but busier.

When the progress of filming continued to improve, when I saw Andy in the plot of "The Shawshank Redemption" from being loved, liked, and helping his fellow inmates solve various difficulties, to being confined for asking the prison warden Norton to help avenge himself, and then Andy, who woke up later, began to secretly dig tunnels and watch these shots gradually complete the shooting, Lin Feihong's heart of longing for the end became even heavier, and now the plot is nearing the end, and it is time for Andy to escape from prison.

This process is the final highlight of "The Shawshank Redemption", and the previous plots are actually paving the way for this plot, Andy's sins and grievances will be exploded at the last stage, and this prison escape process also reflects a theme of Lin Feihong in it, hope!

"The Shawshank Redemption" runs through the whole text with hope, Andy completes the road to redemption for himself when everyone thinks it is completely impossible, and at the same time redeems other people who are as innocent as him. This tells people that anything is possible as long as there is hope in their hearts!

So no matter what, we must make this process wonderful and meaningful, and the inspirational spirit of inspirational films will be finally reflected at this time.

"Now everyone has to mention the spirit of twelve points, tomorrow we are going to shoot Andy's prison escape process, this process is only perfect, no matter what the details must be perfect, so everyone work hard, together to finish the last link, it has been two months, and it is not bad for so many days, mentioning the spirit, I clearly said that I don't want to see lazy people, I want to see everyone's mental outlook, no matter which department, logistics is no exception, now everyone goes back to rest, I don't want anyone to make me angry." After the filming of today's mission, the entire crew gathered together for a small meeting, and emphasized the details and important places that Ming said should be paid attention to.

In the evening, Lin Feihong, Leslie Cheung, Liu Dehua, Xu Zhen, Ah Long, Li Lianjie and others gathered around to discuss Mingyue's shooting plan.

"The hole has been dug this afternoon, just enough for a person to pass through, and the viaduct must be prepared first, from a high place to a low place, and it must be shot down with Andy Lau's figure, so safety must be paid attention to. Andy, tomorrow you will have to slide down from the water pipe from a height of three meters, so you have to pay special attention to it, although there is an invisible iron cable to hook you, it is not absolutely safe.

Also, if it rains tomorrow night, it's best, if not, forget it, thunder and lightning can be added later, but the rain effect is not able to add any good effect, and there is really no rain to manually splash the rain, so the workload tomorrow night is relatively large, everyone work harder. ”

Everyone can listen to Lin Feihong's words, Leslie Cheung nodded, and said: "So many tasks should be assigned first, the division of labor and cooperation will be better, now arrange the tasks first, and the shooting will be much smoother tomorrow." ”

Lin Feihong nodded and said, "It makes sense, except for a few important actors who will participate in tomorrow, everyone else has to have a task, Guorong, it's up to you to arrange the task." ”

"Okay, I'll arrange it later."

"Tomorrow, I will shoot some activities before Andy's escape during the day, leave early in the afternoon, and leave the scene early to shoot at night. Okay, let's go and rest. ”

According to the plan, the daytime filming is Andy's preparations before escaping from prison, such as digging tunnels, throwing stones, changing leather shoes, changing books, etc., as well as filming the appearance of Andy yelling at Red in anger when the prison guards found Andy no longer in the room during the roll call in the early morning.

When night fell, it was dark, but there was no rain, which did not affect the shooting plan, and the whole crew began to act.

In the cell where Andy Lau lives, photographer Lin Hui has set up the camera and aimed it at the position of the bed, Andy Lau is sitting on the edge of the bed, and the gaffer is adjusting the lighting effect, because at night, it is necessary to shoot Andy Lau's face clearly, but not too bright, so this can no longer use the adjustment degree used during the day, no sound recorder is used, only a recording rod is placed next to it, and the room is too small to accommodate too many people.

Even the screen moved to the corridor outside the room, and Lin Feihong could only sit outside and stare at the screen.

"It's too bright, dim it a little more."

"Okay, that's it, is it ready inside?"

"Alright."

“ok，action！”

As soon as the words fell, on the screen, Andy Lau took out a rope from the bag next to him, was silent for a few seconds, then put down the rope, looked ahead, and the camera instantly turned to the beautiful picture on the wall.

A few seconds later, the picture cut back to Andy Lau's body, he slowly stood up, quickly took off his coat and shirt, and finally left only a thin round neck short sleeve.

Even if this shot is finished, the picture cuts to several items in **, rope, notebook, a box of pebbles, a notebook and a box of pebbles, all of which were put in a bag by Andy Lau.

“cut！”

At this point, all the shots of the cell have been filmed, and now we are going to shoot the process of Andy Lau climbing the hole.

The beautiful painting was taken off, and Andy Lau climbed up the hole.

"Andy, you wait here first, and we'll meet you outside." After the order, the other crew members moved all the equipment outside the prison.

Outside the prison is an open flat land, so the shooting space is relatively large, the viaduct has been prepared, the lights have already been connected, Lin Hui was hoisted to the third floor, and the cell where Andy Lau lives is on the third floor.

The prison was built in the early days, and the walls were made of mud and the walls were thicker, so there was no need to build another long hole for the filming set, and the local materials were used.

The screen is placed directly on the ground, Lin Feihong sits in front of the screen and waits for Lin Hui to be in place, this time the scene of Andy Lau moving in the hole is not long, just a few seconds, so only send Lin Hui up alone, he is also dimming, and the voice recorder is placed, because the space at the hole is insufficient, the voice recorder can only be used, and the recording rod is not suitable at this time.

Almost two minutes later, Lin Hui shouted 'ready' to Lin Feihong on the ground, and Lin Feihong looked at the screen and signaled the start of action.

In the screen, Andy Lau took a flashlight and crawled forward anxiously and quickly, panting loudly.

Lin Hui, who was high in the air, slowly moved the camera, and at night, the screen showed Andy Lau crawling from the cave to the entrance of the cave, shining down with a flashlight, looking around again, and then moving slowly, half of his body was exposed in the air, and one hand was stretched forward.

"Okay, that's it."

Lin Feihong clapped his hands and shouted to stop, originally Andy climbed out of the hole and there should be a sewer pipe behind a house in front of him, he would grab the sewer pipe as soon as he stretched out his hand, but in fact, the outside of this prison is a spacious open space, avenue, there is no sewer at all, so you can only find a sewer to shoot, this is the difficulty of making a movie, if everything is as expected, then there is not much point in making a movie, the meaning of making a movie is in addition to the thoughts, concepts, beliefs, In addition to the expression of the theme, there is also a meaning of shooting all kinds of small scenes, split-shots, and then combining these small scenes together, if they are all shot in the order of the script, it is boring.

Movies are actually a variety of small scenes, sub-shots are combined, whether a movie is good or not is not determined by these sub-shots, the key is how to combine these sub-shots that make up the movie, how to arrange the order, just like the costume design, all kinds of elements, the key is how you match, the overall effect of a good match will be different. If the sub-shots are well combined, the overall effect of the movie will be completely different, which is the charm of the movie, and this is also where the director's directing ability lies.

A director doesn't need to have the ability to lead the entire crew, he doesn't need to be a leader, he only needs to have the ability to combine various sub-shots, as long as he has this ability, he can dominate the entire entertainment industry, but not everyone has this ability, this ability mainly depends on talent, and the day after tomorrow cannot be learned.

Andy Lau was "rescued" by the crew from under the elevated highway, he did not have a sling on his body, it was very dangerous, and he had already told him whether to use a sling before filming, but this person was hit hard by Aaron's 'I also need to use a sling for this matter' and refused Lin Feihong's kind request.

It is very likely that Liu Dehua will die, if he hadn't stopped in time just now, this stubborn young man would probably have to continue to stretch forward, as long as more than half of his body is exposed, he will fall from the third floor if he is not careful.

Thinking about this consequence, Lin Feihong felt a pimple in his heart, this Andy Lau is stupid enough, now he is only filming a part of the whole movie, the place where he reached out and grabbed was high in the air, there was nothing to rely on, the script was written Andy grabbed the pipe, but now there is no suitable venue and can only shoot two scenes for combination, alas, it can't be taught.

This is mainly to blame Aaron, and he has to teach this guy who almost made a big deal.

"Ah Long, do you know how dangerous Andy was on it just now, as long as he is stupid and takes a small step forward, I'm afraid he won't be able to let people go next now, I'm afraid he will lie down directly at our feet, and his brains will burst to the ground, at that time we are not waiting to collect the corpse, we will be sent to prison, the miserable situation is definitely not much better than Andy, maybe worse than Andy, it is possible to shoot directly.

You have a bit of martial arts, your skills are faster than Andy, you can support the whole body with one hand, this is your ability, but Andy is not you, he has no power to restrain the chicken, he just wants to hold the edge of the wall tightly with one hand, supporting the whole body, if you can't grasp the hand carelessly, it will fall off, who can bear this responsibility, so you can't compare Andy with you, this is no comparable surname, don't use this to provoke him in the future, you know? ”

Lin Feihong's voice didn't have many stern surnames, it sounded more like an old man's words to the juniors, but it was reasonable, Ah Long felt very uncomfortable after hearing it, he really wanted to take a piece of tofu and kill him, what is the meaning of being alive, being alive is harmful, I turned around a few times, I wanted to see if there was a tofu shop around, it was empty, except for the crew members.

"What are you looking for?" Watching Ah Long shoot around like a demon, Lin Feihong was very puzzled.

"Tofu shop."

"Hungry?"

"No, it's better to kill people if you're alive."

"It's not easy to die, I'll help you." took an iron rod and walked towards Ah Long, Ah Long smiled and stepped back, bumping into Liu Dehua who had just come down from the iron frame, Liu Dehua held Ah Long who almost fell and asked, "What?" Have you offended our great director? ”

Ah Long smiled and said, "No, he said he would help me lead to hell." ”

Throwing away the iron rod, Andy got off the iron frame and didn't have much time to play with Aaron.

"It's too dangerous just now, if I don't shout to stop, do you have to move forward, Andy, I know that you are dedicated and willing to endure hardships, but it also depends on the situation, we have to use safety facilities in dangerous places, don't be strong for a while, otherwise a misstep will become a thousand years of hatred."

Andy Lau nodded seriously after listening to Lin Feihong's advice, then laughed again, patted Lin Feihong's chest, and said: "Don't worry, brother, I'm not so easy to have an accident, brother, I still have the ability to grasp myself, and I'm not a three-year-old child, whether I'm sure I know it in my heart, okay!" ”

Lin Feihong could only greet him with a smile, and turned around to tell Ah Long a few more words, but he didn't know where this guy who had been looking for death had gone.

There is no sewer outside the prison, so I can only find a place to shoot with a sewer, two days ago Leslie Cheung found a more suitable place, in an alley, there are several sewer pipes between the two houses, and there is a largest water collection pipe in mid-air, and all the domestic sewage of the residents here is gathered in this collection pipe to flow to the sewage treatment plant.

Before using this passage, a few stones were placed next to the water collection pipe, which were used as stones left behind by Andy's tunneling.

The space is small, so he can only get close to the roadside for all the shooting work, and the master frame is also set up outside, and Lin Hui often hangs the sling in the air to shoot.

Ah Long was still disobedient, hiding that Lin Feihong was secretly teaching Andy Lau how to climb this sewer pipe without a sling, this time Andy Lau was finally obedient, and was no longer provoked by Ah Long's words, obediently obeyed Lin Feihong's advice and brought a padlock, after all, life is the most important, don't talk about anything without life.

After Andy Lau was hoisted to a height of more than three meters, he clung to a pipe, and the action instructor Lin Dong was guiding him on the climbing route, Andy Lau looked down, and after confirming the descending route, he made an OK gesture to Lin Feihong.

"Okay, action!" Lin Feihong shouted, Andy Lau began to slide down, the process was not simple, there was still a bag containing two items hanging on his right foot, in order to reduce Andy Lau's burden, the items were lightened, and the stones carved by Andy were not put in.

The process of sliding down was quite smooth, Andy Lau did not slip his feet or hands fell off and slipped off the pipe, he slid smoothly onto the water collection pipe in mid-air.

The process of falling has ended, and now the camera is about to switch, Lin Hui temporarily turned off the camera, and only turned the camera back on when the master frame hoisted him to a higher air, and now what he had to do was to point the camera at Andy Lau, close-up his face, and the water collection pipe under his feet.

Andy Lau looked at the air in front of him, and after a few seconds, he smashed a big stone in his hand into the pipe.

“cut！” Don't shout stop because the sound of knocking on the pipe will affect the surrounding residents, don't worry about this, Leslie Cheung had already told the local person in charge about his intention when he borrowed this place two days ago, and when he came to shoot just now, Leslie Cheung told the local person in charge about the shooting situation. When Andy Lau looked at the air, he always felt that his expression was wrong, not perfect enough, and had not fully reached the meaning he wanted to express, and he had to be modified.

Everyone looked at Lin Feihong sitting in front of the screen in confusion, and the questions were written on their faces, they knew that if the scene was not filmed, the director shouted cut It meant that a certain shot did not meet his taste, which meant that it had to be NG again.
