Chapter Twenty-Eight: A Good Teacher
"The True Color of Heroes" is a live-action shooting, and what was filmed today is a scene of the shootout in Fenglin Pavilion. After Xiao Ran arrived, he first said hello to Wu Yusen and Fa Ge, and then quietly enjoyed Fa Ge's performance on the side.
Being able to appreciate Fa Ge's acting skills so closely is definitely a great pleasing thing to the eye. Unexpectedly, Xiao Ran, who originally planned to watch a good show, was dragged into the water by Wu Yusen's words: "Ah Ran, how did you envision this scene when you wrote this book?" ”
In fact, Xu Ke told Wu Yusen that Xiao Ran recommended him to direct this film, although he didn't know why Xiao Ran, a rookie screenwriter he didn't know, recommended him, but he still thought that he had to seize this opportunity.
Wu Yusen's assignment to the branch in Taiwan was by no means what he wanted, and in his opinion, it was no different from the distribution of the army. Coupled with the fact that the two films he supervised and directed were not shocking, the head office was not very satisfied with his performance, which made this ambitious talent feel even more depressed.
This time he was recruited back by headquarters, and when he saw this script for the first time, he knew that this was what he had been longing for. Especially when he saw a few classic dialogues in the film, he was even more excited, which simply said what was in his heart and made him not excited.
The whole world knows that Wu Yusen filmed "The True Color of Heroes" with great resentment and passion, although compared to the subsequent works, the film's technique is not perfect, and that kind of depressed mood never appears again. Therefore, this is the biggest reason why this film has become the most classic of Hong Kong films in the past 20 years.
Similarly, because Wu Yusen himself has always had the idea of making such a movie, Xiao Ran's script was originally plagiarized from him, and now it is natural for Xiao Ran to have that kind of confidant thought. Therefore, Wu Yusen thinks it is necessary to ask the opinion of the bosom friend next to him.
Of course, Xiao Ran didn't know what Wu Yusen thought, otherwise once he knew that Wu Yusen regarded him as a confidant in his life, he was afraid that he would be so excited that he would immediately have a myocardial infarction. At this time, he looked at Wu Yusen's sincere gaze, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Director Wu, how are you going to shoot?" ”
Wu Yusen glanced at Xiao Ran interestingly, and laughed: "Just call me Ah Sen, your book is so detailed, of course I will shoot according to the script, otherwise Xu Ke will not agree!" ”
hesitated again, Xiao Ran thought that if Wu Yusen now had the skills to shoot "Bloody Heroes", then "The True Colors of Heroes" would definitely be able to be filmed more perfectly. In this case, why not put the icing on the cake and mention: "Brother Sen, do you think this scene can be performed in slow motion?" ”
"My idea is to ...... in slow motion" Wu Yusen smiled, now he is far from having the bearing of a later master, but like a weak young man. However, Xiao Ran quickly said something that surprised him.
"Slow motion is a certainty, and I want to express it in slow motion in this corridor, and restore the speed when I push open the door of the room, so that it can form a strong visual impact!" Xiao Ran's head was organized for a moment before he continued: "I think, it's better to shoot this scene at a shooting speed of one hundred and twenty frames, and then split and reorganize the action and process to make the rhythm change." What do you think of this? ”
Wu Yusen is indeed dumbfounded, the shooting speed of 120 frames, what kind of concept is this? For the shooting of a movie, sixty grids is very difficult to control. This idea is not only bold, it is simply absurd, at least in the films that Wu Yusen knows, there are almost no such high-speed shooting that have been successful.
Of course, Xiao Ran is not talking nonsense when he says this, shooting at a speed of one hundred and twenty frames is a technique that Wu Yusen has often used after his mastery, he just said it in advance. In fact, the normal shooting speed of the camera is 24 frames per second, compared to which 120 can be imagined, and it is no wonder that Wu Yusen was frightened.
In Wu Yusen's exaggerated and almost adoring eyes, Xiao Ran couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, and hurriedly shook his hand and said, "Since you think it's not good, then forget it!" ”
It's not that Xiao Ran is not confident, but he doesn't think that doing this can have too many benefits, anyway, the success of the film is inevitable. Having his proposal is, at best, the icing on the cake. Obviously, Wu Yusen was deeply moved by Xiao Ran's proposal, at least he thought it was worth trying.
"I'm afraid the speed of one hundred and twenty squares is difficult to master at the moment, I think it's better to try sixty squares, and then disassemble and reorganize the delay effect to make the movement more refined!" Wu Yusen frowned and thought for a while, and added thoughtfully: "No, you have to add at least a 24-frame camera to shoot from multiple angles, so that you can plan everything!" ”
Xiao Randa admires the director in front of him who is about to become a mess, the so-called inferences are just right here, and he really deserves to be a master. When Wu Yusen told others about his new ideas, Xiao Ran walked to Fa Ge's side.
Fa Ge is still very thin now, and the polite and elegant atmosphere in "Shanghai Tang" seems to still be fluttering in Xiao Ran's mind. After a few words of greeting with Brother Fa, Xiao Ran suddenly asked: "Brother Fa, I wonder why most of the films you have acted in over the years have been works that have been dismal at the box office?" ”
The box office dismal is actually not very serious, at least Fa Ge still acted in quite good high-quality literary films, those films that can win awards if they are placed today. However, for Fa Ge, this is obviously a thing that bothers him a lot.
Every time this is mentioned, Zhou Yunfa looks a little depressed, and complains more than once: "Who knows why, I've worked hard, but the film still doesn't sell well." Now, I've got the nickname of box office poison. ”
Box office poison? That's not necessarily, fairy hair! Xiao Ran secretly snickered, it didn't take long for Fa Ge to look deflated. Immortal hair, this nickname is the new nickname given to Zhou Runfa by the filmmaker after "The True Color of Heroes", an ironclad nickname.
"I love watching your films, especially "Shanghai Tang"!" Speaking of this, Xiao Ran suddenly changed his words and said seriously: "However, have you ever thought that it is precisely because this series is so deeply rooted in the hearts of the people." So, it's hard for you to step out of the box and take on acting. ”
"What do you mean?" Fa Ge is definitely not stupid, Xiao Ran just mentioned it slightly, and he vaguely guessed: "Because of this episode, the audience is unwilling to accept my other looks and completely different roles?" ”
Xiao Ran smiled lightly, his words were definitely not nonsense. In fact, "Shanghai Tang" has already stereotyped Zhou Runfa, and for a real actor, what he is most afraid of is undoubtedly stereotyping. In order to transform and change the impression in the hearts of the audience, Zhou Xingchi even spent several years without success. Although Zhou Yunfa does not have the influence of Zhou Xingchi in the future, he is definitely one of the most famous actors in Hong Kong.
To put it simply, even if he became famous by acting in TV dramas, he could only rely on this set to become popular all over the Chinese world, and Hong Kong has rebroadcast "Shanghai Tang" many times in just two years. He already has countless fans, and it is not difficult to become a blockbuster star.
Now he is the most famous box office poison in Hong Kong, and on the one hand, he is also one of the most popular and famous TV actors, which is simply amazing. Therefore, there can only be one reason for this, the audience is unwilling to accept the personable "Xu Wenqiang" who has fascinated thousands of audiences to change his image or acting path.
Invisibly, Fa Ge's performance route was naturally restricted. On the other hand, the impression of film companies and investors on Fa Ge seems to be limited to the image of "Xu Wenqiang", and most of the actors looking for him are literary films. Thank God, how many literary films in Hong Kong have good box office? This is something that fools know.
"I think I understand that if you want to change the way of acting, this is the best opportunity!" Zhou Yunfa smiled lightly, his smile was indeed the most charming smile, and at the same time, it was also the most incomprehensible smile: "Ah Ran, thank you!" ”
We started shooting, and the shooting was not as we imagined, but the shots were grouped together. For example, the scene of Fa Ge in the corridor was divided into several sections to shoot. And they were all shot several times from various angles, and when it came time for the final cut, it was natural to run through the shots.
After a tiring day, I finally called it a day. Of course, our protagonist is naturally not tired, he has done a good job in the early work, and the script is very meticulously written, and it is difficult to encounter something that needs to be revised. It's not like other scripts, which are changed by the director all day long. The reason why he needs to stay here is just because of the needs of his position, and sometimes the director still needs to ask the screenwriter for creative advice.
Now Xiao Ran's main purpose in staying on the set every day is to get to know as many behind-the-scenes workers as possible, for example, Huang Yongheng, the cinematographer of "The True Color of Heroes", is a very amazing hero. He has collaborated with Ng Yu-sum many times in the future, and often collaborates with the likes of Du Qifeng and Chow Xingchi, and is one of the most prominent photographers in Hong Kong.
After a busy day, Fa Ge greeted the other staff members warmly, and quickly drove the car to Xiao Ran's side: "Ah Ran, I'll send you!" ”
Xiao Ran didn't refuse such a good thing, and asked Brother Fa where he was going, and Brother Fa explained with a smile that he was going to attend the premiere of the new film "Dream Man". Xiao Ran, who vaguely felt that the name of this film was very familiar, thought hard for a long time, and finally remembered this hellish film.
It turned out that he had only seen it when he was only fifteen or sixteen years old, and that film was the only time that Fa Ge and Lin Qingxia, two charming men and women, had partnered. However, Xiao Ran doesn't remember the plot at all, and the only thing that impresses him with this film is that it is boring, extremely dull.
Xiao Ran did not return to Xiaoyaowo, but went to the premiere with Fa Ge. came to the premiere site, but met Lin Qingxia first. Of course, Xiao Ran didn't do anything, just hid aside and waited quietly.
After the premiere, facing Lin Qingxia, who was about to leave in a hurry, Xiao Ran glanced at Fa Ge and Lin Qingxia and proposed to go to dinner together. Lin Qingxia hesitated, but agreed. came to the restaurant together, and after Xiao Ran ordered, he didn't do anything, just kept looking at the two of them.
It's hard to describe Xiao Ran's current feeling, sitting next to him, the woman is peerless, the man is handsome, and at first glance it looks like a natural match. It's a pity that these two people couldn't get together, which is really a pity.
However, even if Xiao Ran had the idea of making do with the two of them, he couldn't succeed. Not to mention that Lin Qingxia is in a bitter love with Qin Han, even Fa Ge is also interested in someone for a long time. The relationship in this entertainment industry is really complicated to the extreme.
