Chapter 487: The Tempering of Heroes

In Zhou Shaoming's eyes, Jude Law, a handsome Hollywood superstar, can quickly grasp the psychology of movie characters when filming performances, and vividly play the facial expressions of the characters.

Zhou Shaoming saw Jude Law's understanding expression, turned to Scarlett Johansson beside him and said: "Wait a minute, you stand at the top of the stairs, block Wesley's way, Wesley is like a child with a gun to let you go, at this time, your face is more mature, in stark contrast to Wesley, and a slightly charming and flirtatious expression!" OK？ ”

Scarlett Johansson smiled, although Zhou Shaoming made many requests at once, but Scarlett Johansson said confidently: "No problem!" ”

Although Scarlett Johansson is a little lacking in action scenes, for literary dramas, she often has excellent performances, which makes Zhou Shaoming's eyes shine, so for the literary and drama components, Zhou Shaoming is easy to guide Scarlett Johansson, as long as she says the filming requirements, Scarlett Johansson can do it!

Wesley left in the mutual aid association led by Sloan, and when he came to the ATM, Wesley saw that the bank card was really like Sloan said, and all the inheritance of his recently deceased father was given to him!

When filming the ATM, Zhou Shaoming still seemed extra careful, Zhou Shaoming also wanted the same shot of the ATM, so as not to repeat the shooting, but Zhou Shaoming understood that if the repeated shots were used, it would be easy for the audience to see the loopholes in the film! That is, the same money before and after the ATM, which will become a small flaw in the film!

Yes, when Zhou Shaoming thought of this, he was still patient, and he didn't speculate and shoot the before and after shots of Wesley withdrawing money at the ATM!

Wesley wakes up, thinking that Wesley, who was dreaming, has found the gun that Sloan has given him!

The year 2004 was a turning point for the new generation of people to worship the new generation of heroes and forget about the social mission. Forget about morality and responsibility, just remember one name: Wesley? Gibson.

At just 25 years old, Wesley was full of setbacks, and the moment he met Fox, Wesley's fortunes changed completely. Wesley is no longer a lost person who does not dare to face reality, and when he returns to the company, when he meets the boss who looks like a fat pig, he is no longer like a wreck, and is abused by the boss all day long!

On the filming site of "League of Assassins", Jude Law, who played Wesley, sat at his office desk, and Wesley, facing the computer, was suddenly stopped by his boss: "You idiot." I'm still doing other things during work hours. Let me tell you, the next week is to summarize your work situation, poor work ability, poor management ability, and ability to get along with colleagues. The female boss couldn't help laughing as she spoke, and said coldly: "This is simply a joke!" ”

The female boss was humiliating Wesley as before, but this time Wesley was different from before, leaving his father's wealth in his bank card, which no longer made Wesley feel a sense of loss!

Humiliating yourself in front of yourself all day long in front of your eyes. The boss, who didn't look at him at all, the depressed Wesley yelled at the boss, "Shut up for me!" ”

Zhou Shaoming, who was watching from the sidelines, couldn't help shouting: "Stop!" Zhou Shaoming looked at Jude Law's performance just now on the camera lens, and couldn't help frowning, Morgan asked with some curiosity: "Zhou." What's wrong? Jude Law performed very well just now, why is it called a timeout? ”

Zhou Shaoming was thinking in place, what did he always think of his shortcomings? Zhou Shaoming came to Jude Law and sat in the place where Jude Law was sitting. asked lightly: "If I am a person who has lived in a depressive environment for a long time, the pace of life and the quality of life have not been as good as expected." When suddenly my life has changed, and I, who has a lot of wealth, suddenly let myself be full of hope, re-filled with expectations for this society, and expectations for myself, this change cannot be so strong all at once, there must be a connection between the previous and the next, and give the audience a time to accept this change! ”

Jude Law was stunned, and he didn't understand what Zhou Shaoming wanted to express, but Morgan, who was standing on the side, had a bright eye, and said to Zhou Shaoming: "You want to increase the plot?" ”

Zhou Shaoming's eyes lit up, nodded and said, "Yes." However, it seems that I can only shoot the plot, if I have to make up the plot myself. Zhou Shaoming had a headache when he thought of this, and said: "No way, I'll go back to the company to find someone from the screenwriting department to find a way, I think Aziva must have a way." ”

Morgan frowned and expressed his opinion: "Zhou, instead of going back, let's do it together and discuss the plot later!" ”

Zhou Shaoming was stunned for a moment and said: "Everyone has been so busy filming all day, and it is not suitable for everyone to discuss the plot together after filming." I don't want to be questioned by the guild anymore. ”

Zhou Shaoming said with a wry smile on his face, with the vigorous expansion of Supernova Entertainment Film and Television Company in the past few years, it is inevitable that there will be violations during the filming process! However, now Zhou Shaoming is no longer as when he was filming "Untouchable", so he has to give himself a very short deadline that is basically impossible to complete and finish the filming!

In addition, because Supernova Entertainment Film and Television Company has to discuss the acquisition with Blizzard, Supernova Entertainment, which is already short of funds, is no longer able to use two crews to shoot movies like when filming "Untouchable", and there is no more money to promise the ability to give double benefits to the members of the crew!

Although Zhou Shaoming has always been prepared in his heart and intends to complete the acquisition of Blizzard, but after George's preliminary negotiations, the amount of acquisition of Blizzard alone will be as high as tens of billions, which is an astronomical amount for Supernova Entertainment Film and Television Company!

Morgan was stunned for a moment and said, "What? ”

Scarlett Johansson on the side couldn't help but cover her mouth and secretly laughed: "In the past, Zhou was too anxious to shoot movies and worked overtime to shoot, in Chinese words, once he was bitten by a snake for ten years and was afraid of the well rope, Zhou is now much more decent in filming movies." ”

Scarlett Johansson couldn't help but be happy when she said it, and Morgan was confused when she saw it, but after Scarlett Johansson's explanation, Morgan still understood a little and said: "Hey, the following shooting is related to the success or failure of our movie, of course, whoever wants to discuss the plot after filming will come, and those who don't want will not be reluctant." Don't worry, I've seen this happen a lot. It's not a problem, I haven't returned to the headquarters to find a colleague in the company's editorial department. ”

Zhou Shaoming raised his head and looked at Morgan's friendly attitude. couldn't help but hesitate and promised: "Okay! Zhou Shaoming said and stood up, "Then let's finish today's shooting first, Jude Law, your performance just now is very exciting, but there is always a shortcoming, that is, the grasp of the characters is not in place!" ”

Zhou Shaoming said and pointed to the chair and said: "You should have found your suppressed emotions again after hearing the boss, and after the obvious facial expression, you began to get up and shout You shut up for me, Wesley has been running away from life." His girlfriend betrayed him and had an affair with his colleague Barry, Barry often took advantage of him in life, and completely treated Wesley as a fool, Wesley is not unaware, so we have to grasp the characteristics of this character, even if we already know, he will eventually become a hero! Heroes who take control of their own destiny! ”

Zhou Shaoming then explained to Jude Law: "So after Wesley got up and left, he went back to the female boss again and abused the female boss again. Come and vent your frustration! In this shot, you are still a little bit sure of the characters! ”

Jude Law was stunned, Jude Law, who has always been favored by many directors in Hollywood, did not expect Zhou Shaoming to be so young standing in front of him. actually grasped the hearts of the characters in the film so thoroughly, this is also the first time Jude Law feels that Zhou Shaoming has such a strong temperament!

A director who is both young and has such a talent. It's not very common in Hollywood, Jude Law couldn't help but take a cold breath when he thought of this, and sighed that there was such a talented director in Hollywood!

I used to hear a lot of rumors. Hollywood Chinese directors, only by a moment of luck, have become the ranks of Hollywood's big-name directors!

Some people praised Zhou Shaoming like a god, with incomparable wisdom and shooting talent, conquering the hearts of the audience again and again.

When he saw Zhou Shaoming for the first time, Jude Law just felt that the director was a little kind, and when he came to the shooting site, he knew that Zhou Shaoming was a director who had a clear distinction between public and private when he was shooting a movie. His meticulous spirit in the film also makes him very involved on the shooting site!

However, when he heard Zhou Shaoming's explanation just now, Jude Law admired Zhou Shaoming even more in his heart, if this passage came from Morgan's words, Jude Law was not surprised, but from the young Zhou Shaoming's mouth, Jude Law felt very surprised!

Jude Law pondered for a moment, listened to Zhou Shaoming's explanation seriously, kept thinking in his head, and after a while, responded: "I know how to perform Wesley's move this time." ”

Zhou Shaoming's serious expression showed a hint of a smile, Jude Law is not only a handsome person, but also has a super high understanding, and he can understand it at all. For directors, such an actor is rare!

Jude Law, who plays Wesley, constantly insults his boss in front of him on camera, "I'm saying to you now on behalf of the whole office, fuck you!" ”

After Wesley finished speaking, he picked up the keyboard and walked outside, at this time, his colleague Barry came to Wesley, wanting to cater to and praise Wesley! However, one Wesley smashed the keyboard in his hand in Barry's face.

Zhou Shaoming shouted to stop and said, "Stop, this shot is finished, it's time for us to shoot the next shot." Zhou Shaoming said and looked at Jude Law and said affirmatively: "The performance is very good!" ”

Indeed, this highly perceptive actor, after a little guidance from Zhou Shaoming, interpreted Wesley's character and actions superbly, and Zhou Shaoming sometimes sighed, as if this Wesley's role was specially designed for Jude Law!

After a full day of filming and shooting, Zhou Shaoming began to discuss with Morgan about the development of the plot later, because he wanted to change the original plot, for this part, the experienced Morgan once again played a role in fueling the flames!

"Jude Law, why are you here today!" Morgan was a little surprised, Jude Law, who has always been uninterested in plot compilation, also came to Zhou Shaoming's room today!

After Zhou Shaoming walked to the living room with the plot script, he couldn't help but be a little curious when he saw Jude Lowe's arrival, and said, "Do you have something to do with me?" ”

Jude Law jokingly said: "I'm also interested in screenwriting, wake up and see how you guys discuss the plot later!" ”

Morgan sat on the sofa with glasses, holding the plot script in his hand, and said lightly to Zhou Shaoming: "Jude Law is not satisfied with our changes to the plot, so that he has to suffer so much during the filming process, so I came here to give advice, and I left Scarlett Johansson." ”

Jude Law had an innocent look on his face in the face of Morgan's joke. explained, "Uncle Morgan, I didn't explain it to you just now, and I still said that. ”

Zhou Shaoming frowned, the idea under the initial changes to the plot did increase the abuse of Wesley's character, and it also increased the difficulty of Jude Law's filming process. ”

Jude Law denied: "No, I just heard that my role has changed a lot." I think Zhou and Uncle Morgan will definitely discuss with me, and instead of letting you find me, I should obediently come to you to report and accept any work assigned by the organization unconditionally. ”

Faced with Jude Law's joking answer, Zhou Shaoming felt a little relieved, seeing that Jude Law took the initiative to come here, Zhou Shaoming said: "The changes to the script will be basically completed tonight, you listen to it first, and then there will be any opinions." Just bring it up! ”

Jude Law heard Zhou Shaoming's words, and said with a faint smile: "Let me be good at acting, let me change the script, I don't have this ability." ”

Morgan looked at the script. said: "This is the role you starred in, your feelings are much deeper than any of us, no opinion, how can we judge whether this small change to the script is appropriate." ”

Originally, Jude Law thought so, too. But after the last time he instructed himself in the office, Jude Law knew what it meant to be outside the sky, and there were people outside the world. After hesitating, he responded: "Okay, if there is any good suggestion, I will definitely put it forward!" ”

Zhou Shaoming gave Jude Law a plot draft, and the plot outline of the draft was basically out, which was to change the experience of Wesley in the play and then the mutual aid club, and began to hone it! Let's start writing this part in detail!

The script itself is just a description, Wesley, under the guidance of Fox, learned to shake his wrist and marksmanship, and successfully became a member of the mutual aid association, and there were more scenes of tasks in the back, but after Zhou Shaoming was filming, he slowly began to enter the heart of a character like Wesley step by step!

Considering that making such a person suddenly become a hero, there will be a feeling of overnight fame, which makes it difficult for audiences who enjoy this movie to accept! In addition, Wesley himself has abilities, so such a plot seems mediocre.

But if Wesley's character is described in detail how he was trained in the mutual aid association, and began to describe from an ordinary person to slowly becoming a top killer, then after the appearance of such a large number of shots, at the end of the film, Wesley began to lead the mutual aid association, which seems more reasonable!

Jude Law saw the plot outline, and saw that the long story was describing how the character Wesley was beaten again and again under the cruel training of his colleagues in the mutual aid association. couldn't help frowning, and asked lightly: "Zhou, in fact, when I heard that you were going to increase the training of Wesley's character, I had a question in my heart. ”

Zhou Shaoming looked at Jude Lowe's expression, he should have almost finished reading the manuscript in his hand, and said, "Say." ”

Jude Law said what he thought, "It's true that it's a good thing to add scenes of Wesley's hard training, but I see that the plot you and Uncle Morgan wrote are all like this, and the tense and exciting mission scenes are only shortened to a few times, will this be self-defeating?" ”

After Zhou Shaoming heard Jude Law's question, he explained: "I'm not good at writing scripts, it was written by Morgan's predecessors. But to explain to you, it's up to me, I'm better at it. ”

Zhou Shaoming and Morgan looked at each other, and then said: "We have also considered this aspect, so we plan to ask Wesley to live a particularly miserable life during this training in order not to look boring during the shooting, and every time he finishes training, his whole body is covered with bruises!" ”

Zhou Shaoming said: "But the plot was really well written before, but as long as these ability killers are injured non-fatally, they can use special methods to make their bodies recover quickly!" We also make use of the original plot to make the most of this function! ”

Zhou Shaoming said with his hands and said: "Just imagine, what kind of mentality did the audience have when they saw Wesley being beaten by the mutual aid club again and again during the training process, covered in blood, punched and kicked, and then constantly being severely injured by knives? ”

Jude Law's imagination was not rich enough, and his throat couldn't help choking, and said: "I didn't expect it, I just thought that when I was shooting, it would be difficult!" ”

Seeing Jude Law's stupid expression, the real news he heard from Zhou Shaoming was more terrifying than what Scarlett Johansson said, Morgan couldn't help laughing: "With your superb acting talent, there is absolutely no problem!" ”

Zhou Shaoming nodded and said: "This is also what we originally wanted to discuss with you, although we added violent scenes to this part, trying to change this part of the most boring scene in the film, so you also have to think about how to act, so that people will not fall asleep when they see it, you have seen the plot outline, compared to the gunfight at the beginning of the film, drag racing scenes, this part is pediatrics, and the climax of the film is even more different, so this part is particularly important."
