Chapter 41: Pondering the Script

After following Tsui Hark to eat supper, everyone was still busy when he returned to the company. A lot of the opinions and small details that I just got in the cinema are on the table at this time.

Everyone has recorded some of the discussions they have recorded and discussed them.

Overall, the midnight test screening of "Shanghai Night" is still good from the audience's reaction. Now, it's just a matter of tinkering with a few small details.

After listening to everyone's opinions and analysis, Tsui Hark nodded and said: "Today is almost the last day of our busy day, and then everything will depend on the box office to determine the results." ”

The whole night was spent in a busy way.

It wasn't until the early morning of the next day that Lu Yan and the others dragged their tired bodies home to rest.

………………………………………

Since the busy day, Tsui Hark has given everyone a good holiday. Lu Yan also took this opportunity to repeatedly revise the script at home, as well as consider the actors.

As a classic work in his previous life - "The True Colors of Heroes", Lu Yan is of course very attentive. What's more, this movie will be his own pioneering work, he was originally just a small curtain with no qualifications and no fame. The reason why Lu Yan, who has been thinking about it, chose this movie is that he hopes to quickly open up a situation for himself in the Hong Kong film industry.

The reason why the film "The True Color of Heroes" can be so well recognized is that it successfully brings together the contradictions between brotherhood and brotherhood. It reflects their different frustrations, failures, repentance, and revenge, and through these interpersonal conflicts, the whole film makes the film more enjoyable through successful sensationalism.

What kind of techniques can be used to symbolize and externalize the "distance" between the psychology or circumstances of the two characters in the film to the greatest extent? This is a big problem for Lu Yan.

At this time, he had already scribbled and painted in his notebook I don't know how many times. It's full of handwriting, and it's more about his analysis of the characters in the movie and his perception of the overall situation.

Like Scorsese in "Taxi Driver", "put" some vertical lines in the middle of the characters? That's just "separating" the characters, and everyone is still in the same space.

Or, as Leone did in Once Upon a Time in America, "separating" the two characters with a seven-second pan? This is just a "separation" of the characters with space and time, and the two are even in the same shot.

Or is it like Wenders in Paris, Texas, where the characters are separated by a cross-camera "split" composition? In this way, the "distance" between the two characters is not very large, although in both shots, but both are on Earth, more precisely they are still in the United States, how far can they be "from"?

Thinking about it, Lu Yan suddenly ravaged his head like crazy. The hairstyle that was originally a bit of a chicken nest became even more messy at this time.

"Hey!" With a sigh, Lu Yan sat there a little decadently. In the past, when I was shooting short films, I thought that it would not be difficult to make a movie with my own ability, but after this period of tempering, Lu Yan realized that many techniques and inner meanings and arrangements in filming movies are too important.

Lu Yan, who had been sitting for a long time, began to force himself to recall the movie "The True Color of Heroes". Try to think about every shot, every little detail, and the opening design in your mind.

In fact, the introduction of "The True Color of Heroes" allows everyone to see that the art of film can symbolize and externalize the psychological or situational "distance" of the two people to the greatest extent: they are separated from reality and dreams.

In the introduction, Brother Hao is in reality, and Applejack is in a dream. The two are not in the same dimensional space, not in the same dimension of time. Not in the same lens, not even in the same world. The colors of the two worlds are also different, one is color and the other is black and white...... The distance between reality and dreams is a "distance" that cannot be measured or described at all, and a "distance" that is greater than life and death -- death, which is as "ethereal" as dreams, is just an eternal and unchanging destination. Everyone knows very well how to "arrive", and to be able to "arrive" is a limited "distance";

But where are the dreams that change almost every time you sleep? Who can control themselves and bring themselves back to some old dream? Therefore, dreams are a place where there is no way to "locate" at all, and there is no way to "go". The destination that can't even "go" is undoubtedly the "farthest" destination.

"That's right! That's it. Lu Yan, who figured out this, suddenly lit up. He immediately picked up the pen that had been thrown aside, and wrote in his notebook: The "distance" between Brother Hao and Applejack's "thief and police" was placed in front of the audience from the beginning. One shot is the ** molecule Hao Ge who is awakened by a nightmare in reality, and the other shot is Ajie who was shot in a dream.

Suddenly, the thoughts in Lu Yan's mind began to become clear. He flipped to the characters he had analyzed again and looked at them, and all of a sudden it became clear.

If you don't put in it, then even the best work will not be sublimated. At this moment, Lu Yan has already plunged into the story of "The True Color of Heroes".

Because of this, Lu Yan immediately integrated his feelings, experiences, and feelings into it. He began to substitute emotions, fantasizing about what he would say and what he felt when others looked down on him, when people told him to fuck off, and put all the pain at that time into this script.

In fact, Lu Yan doesn't know much about the Hong Kong underworld, and he also thinks that the gangster depiction in "The True Color of Heroes" must be very different from reality. That's not the point, though.

In fact, when any director is filming, many aspects are the manifestation of some kind of life experience. As long as you can fully capture the real emotions, then the whole film will definitely feel flesh and blood. Of course, as a director, you can only direct the shooting. And the creation of characters requires excellent actors to show what the director wants.

Maybe Lu Yan didn't notice it himself, his hand holding the pen trembled slightly. At this time, his heart was very eager to be released, and he even longed to go to Tsui Hark tomorrow with the script to ask for the opening.

Suddenly, a noisy phone rang. Lu Yan, who was addicted to the script, was also forced to withdraw all of a sudden. This feeling made him a little annoyed and depressed.

"Hey! Yan Zai, the new film has been decided to be officially released tomorrow. When the time comes, remember to come to the premiere, don't lose sleep at night! Xu Kexian on the other end of the phone was extremely happy, and finally laughed at Lu Yan.

And Lu Yan just answered lightly and hung up the phone, at this time he didn't seem to be excited at all because he was going to attend the premiere for the first time. On the contrary, I want to reminisce about the feeling just now, but it is difficult to find it.

[Today is the first day of April, which may be a good day for many people to be a spoof and trick. But for a fan like me, it's a little sad. Today is also my brother's 8th anniversary, so I'm going to an event! Automatic updates have been set up, and today it is called three changes!! 】
