Episode 174: New Andy

In the dead of night, the mind is at its most flexible.

Wang Rong had already fallen asleep, Lin Feihong was still hiding in the study and fighting alone, he couldn't sleep, he was so excited, because he had found another motivation to live, his thoughts were surging, the idea of "The Shawshank Redemption" had echoed in his mind, and he was now taking advantage of the brain fever to add bricks and bricks to this classic to make it more perfect.

In the afternoon, I have already written a part of the script, at this time Lin Feihong is not going to write a script, but thinking about the scene, the theme of "The Shawshank Redemption" is hope, telling people that as long as they live, there is hope, and there will be a future, the theme is very good, but the theme also depends on the details to reflect.

In order to make the plot in the play more attractive to the audience's attention, it is necessary to work on some details, which has to use sub-shots, which can also be said to be special effects shots, many special effects shots of science fiction films are computer-synthesized, but this kind of computer-synthesized shots are cool and dazzling, but lack of realism, no texture, and appear very virtual, so it is best to use cool actual sub-shots to highlight the film to be more practical, especially for this kind of non-science fiction film.

So what kind of sub-lens should be used to show a cool feeling, in "The Shawshank Redemption", the money laundering done in the dark box can't be made out of the sub-shot, and now the only place that can highlight the film is gambling, gambling This entertainment project itself has a kind of excitement and cool feeling, if you add particularly cool actions or plots in some details, it is equivalent to adding wings to the entertainment project of gambling, and it will definitely be cooler.

For this purpose, Lin Feihong also specially bought a small gambling table from outside in the afternoon and placed it next to the desk.

Lin Feihong sat at the gaming table, leaning back slightly, his right hand supporting the armrest of the chair, and his index finger and middle finger together to support his head, making a contemplative state, for a long time, he suddenly opened his eyes, threw the first base of chips in front of the table forward with his right hand, and blurted out at the same time: "Follow!" ”

Nodding with a little satisfaction, he wrote down the words "right hand support", contemplation, and "follow" on the paper, and added the words "be cooler when shooting on the spot" next to it, and after doing this, Lin Feihong re-entered the state of "gambling".

Eyes staring at the other party, smiling, slowly taking out the cards with both hands, slowly moving the thumb of the right hand to reveal a small part of the hole cards, and at the same time the eyes flew away and glanced at the position of the opposite party again, kept smiling, staring at the other party without changing color, for a long time, put down the cards, slowly pushed the right chip to the middle position with both hands, and then leaned on the chair very easily, or looked at each other with a smile.

In this way, Lin Feihong hammered the table hard, quickly and simply wrote down the process, and if there are keywords, he will remember the specific scene and the effect he wants when he shoots.

Lin Feihong leaned on the chair very lazily, closed his eyes and recuperated, and the middle finger of his right index finger gently knocked around the armrest, and said very lazily: "Follow!" After a long time, he still lazily kept his original movements, and said lazily: "Follow!" ”

Lin Feihong sat up from the chair and jotted down the process on a piece of paper.

There is no continuing to practice the gambling scene, the pen is knocking on the paper, these three gambling actions are very satisfied, because these three have a mysterious surname, and gambling needs a mysterious surname, only to keep the mystery so that the opponent can not guess your intentions, your next action, so that the opponent has a feeling of weakness, even if you get a bad hand, but in the heart of the defeat of the opponent Yicheng.

The first action is a relatively low mystic surname, but it is a deliberate decision for the opponent, which is more intimidating, but it can also be said to be a mysterious surname, because the opponent does not know how many cards you have, making the opponent unpredictable about you. However, this kind of action is mainly a deterrent, regardless of whether the hand is a good card bad card to be very confident to throw out the chips, it takes a certain amount of courage, especially after taking a few bad hands to keep calm, can not appear in a cold sweat.

Smiling all the time seems to have cast a veil of fog on the opponent, the mysterious surname is more obvious, so that the opponent can't figure out what kind of medicine you are selling in the gourd, but this situation is the same as the first action, you have to have courage and enough composure, especially after taking a few bad hands to keep smiling, this is not so easy.

The most satisfying is the last lazy move, especially the index finger and middle finger knocking around on the fingertips, this move the opponent must be able to see, maybe the opponent thinks this is a code, or some other purpose, the opponent will mostly guess the implication of this action, but this is just a deliberately set game to attract the attention of the opponent, the real code is in the mind, the additional card-counting ability for Andy, the male protagonist in "The Shawshank Redemption", relies on brain power, Andy seems to be closing his eyes to recuperate, needless to follow, with, In fact, the number of cards that have been accurately calculated in my mind has been calculated, and the number of cards that have not yet been played.

Thinking of this, Lin Feihong added a note next to the last lazy action: This action must be there, and it can also be repeated two or three times.

Putting down the pen, Lin Feihong stretched his waist, made a cup of strong tea and drank a few sips, and paced in the study with his hands behind his back.

Who will fit the role of the actor Andy, in the original book, Andy's actor is more simple, honest and good citizen, such a role is suitable for the style in the original movie, plain and dreamy, but if you choose a protagonist with the same surname as the original book, it will not conform to the movie style set by yourself, what you want to shoot is a cool and wonderful "The Shawshank Redemption", obviously such a role is not suitable, so you have to find a new character that is different from the original book, a new character with a surname and a completely different style of doing things.

This character must be a little bad, cold, not too simple, at least at first glance to the audience feel like a bad boy, but this is just the appearance of looking bad, cold, in fact, there is hope and kindness in the heart, and sitting at the table has a kind of deterrent power that exudes itself, giving people a cool feeling, which has a lot to do with appearance, simple people can't play that cool feeling no matter how they play in front of the gambling table, even if they give him cool gambling skills, Cool is just gambling skills and does not have the overall sense of coolness, so appearance is very important, gambling skills can be acted, appearance is born can not be acted.

Who is suitable for the role of this new Andy.

Wang Baoqiang? No, he looks simple, if he is allowed to sit at the gambling table, his smile will immediately let people know all the details. Xu Zhen? It's not good, although he doesn't look very simple, but he doesn't have a sense of coldness, mainly because his face is a little thick, which is suitable for playing an official, not for playing a ruffian.

Ah Xing looks average, looks more joyful, if he is asked to play Andy, maybe there will be a lot of funny actions, casinos are not allowed to joke, especially cool casinos, so Ah Xing is not suitable for the role of Andy, but he can be allowed to play a very happy role, and he will be considered in comedy movies in the future.

Li Lianjie looks ruthless, giving people a ruthless character at first sight, but Andy in "The Shawshank Redemption" is not a ruthless character, and he set him up as a cool character, not to let him kill people in prison, so he used violence against the original intention, the key is that Li Lianjie is not ruthless when he laughs, but it is very amiable, such a role is suitable for boxing, when you laugh, you can make the opponent relax their vigilance against you, but gambling needs a sense of mystery, not a sense of intimacy, so Li Lianjie is not suitable.

Aaron, who looks close and is the image of a good citizen, is very suitable for him to play Andy's role in the original book, but unfortunately now he is going to shoot "The Shawshank Redemption" in a different style from the original book, and he is obviously not an ideal actor suitable for the new Andy.

Leslie Cheung is a beautiful man, the audience will like it after watching it, especially the audience with a female surname, if he wears sunglasses, he will have a cool feeling, if he is allowed to dominate the casino, the effect must be very good, but it is a pity that he is not an actor, his acting skills are flawed, he doesn't seem to be very interested in the identity of an actor, but he likes to evaluate movies, he is almost his deputy, and his acting skills may be difficult to pass.

Andy Lau, there is a sense of coldness when he is calm, if he wears sunglasses again, the cold and cool feeling that he exudes spontaneously arises, and when he laughs, there is mystery in the closeness, he has acted in many movies, he has followed himself since the first cooperation with Singularity.com, he has played all roles, and the most successful performance is the hero's cold character appearance to meet the conditions, and the acting skills are also passable, it seems that only Andy Lau is more suitable for the role of New Andy, if he sits at the gambling table, mysteriously keep smiling, It gives people that sense of confusion and does not lead to spontaneousness.

Whew~ Lin Feihong breathed a sigh of relief, he finally chose the right actor, the protagonist was chosen, and the other roles were relatively easy to choose, but now I am not in a hurry to continue to choose, the time has reached two o'clock in the morning, and it is time to sleep.

Time came to the day of the 20th, on this day, the sixth week of the release of "The Gift of Room No. 7" has just ended, although the truth of Lin Feihong's hacking has been revealed, but it still failed to save the final situation, "The Gift of Room No. 7" has not been on the throne after winning the weekly box office championship in the first and second weeks, and now it is only ranked tenth, the attendance rate has shrunk to 45, and the number of screens is only 560 yuan on the last day of the sixth week, and the box office of the week is 51.975 million. From the fourth week onwards, the number of screens is no longer a fixed number per week, and theaters begin to reduce the number of screens in each film according to the situation for profit, and "The Gift of Room 7" is not a special case.
