Chapter 197: The Path You Chose Was Right!
"Peele, your task in this movie is very important, the lighting effect needs special attention, in the ordinary life of the characters, soft light should be used more frequently, and strong light should be conspicuous in the ring stage, but not too much. I needed this film to serve the characters in all its aspects, to serve the story. ”
Zhou Shaoming took the script and pointed at it, while Peel couldn't stop nodding his head to show that he understood.
In the technical terminology of film, soft light is a light source that is more dispersed, and the light effect is more soft and natural, which is often used indoors, or when expressing some warm shots.
The strong light is a strong direct direction of light, which has a strong visual impact, and when the meat game in the ring makes the audience's blood gush and passionate, the strong light will make the audience immersive.
"I understand the director, in the first half of the whole movie, I want the film tone to be soft, and in the later part of the first battle in the ring, the film tone is hard." Peel nodded while putting forward his own ideas and communicating with Zhou Shaoming to avoid unnecessary trouble in the future.
Shadow tone refers to the level of light and dark expressed in the image of the whole film, the large contrast between light and dark is hard, and the small contrast between light and dark is soft.
Zhou Shaoming nodded and said very seriously: "Your plan is the same as I thought, there is no problem, let me remind you that the whole movie must be dark in tone, not too bright or elegant." ”
"I understand, Director." Peel accepted.
"Martin, you're now my royal photographer, and you're the last person I have to worry about. Good work with Peel and I hope you can surprise me again this time! Zhou Shaoming smiled and patted Martin on the shoulder.
"Ok, my appearance!" Martin responded with a smile.
I don't know why, all the old people in the crew who follow Zhou Shaoming now like to call Zhou Shaoming "phenomenon", this word has the meaning of phenomenon, miracle, extraordinary person, and so on.
Zhou Shaoming was very embarrassed at first, hoping that everyone wouldn't call him like that, but the crew insisted on shouting this word to him, and over time, Zhou Shaoming could only let them go.
This also became another attack by Zhou Hei's media, and they described Zhou Shaoming, a tyrant on the set, who deliberately asked the crew to call him so, which once again made Zhou Shaoming very annoyed.
But there is no way, Zhou Shaoming has important things to do now, that is, to make this movie, and when this movie is over, he really wants to find a chance to quarrel with those white reporters whose surnames are distorted and who can't look down on people of other races.
"Alright, let's go and rest, we'll start work early tomorrow morning." Zhou Shaoming smiled and applauded, cheering for the two.
"Oh yes, you can rest early, it's almost 12 o'clock now." Peel and Martin got up and took their leave.
The moonlight was like water, spilling into the room, Zhou Shaoming looked at the leaves swaying in the evening breeze outside the window, and continued to play the exciting scenes of "Warrior" in the original time and space in his mind, but he heard someone knocking gently on the door.
"Snatch and snatch!"
"Who?" Zhou Shaoming sat up, put on his pajamas, and walked over to open the door.
"Smith Zhou, it's me, I can't sleep, come and talk to you!" Outside the door was Jim Carrey's voice.
Zhou Shaoming was a little puzzled, why did he come to him so late, there was no play for him tomorrow, and the first day was focused on Jeremy.
With doubts, Zhou Shaoming opened the door.
"Hey, Smith Chow, I'm so glad you haven't slept yet, how about I bring some brandy and have a drink with me?" Jim Carrey, who was wearing hotel pajamas, held a beautiful and chic wine bottle and winked at Zhou Shaoming.
"ho~ Are you still afraid that I won't get drunk? I'm not very good at drinking, you've seen it before. Zhou Shaoming shrugged and let Jim Carrey in.
Sitting on the sofa, Jim Carrey picked up the cup and poured a cup for Zhou Shaoming and himself, and then poured it himself without waiting for him to sit down.
The hot liquor ran down his throat, and Jim Carrey looked very uneasy, and his face was full of apprehension.
"What, you're nervous?" Zhou Shaoming sat down, picked up the wine glass and took a sip, looked at Jim Carrey with blazing eyes, and asked with a smile: "Wow, is it possible that Mr. 20 million dollar club is also afraid of making movies?" ”
"Haha!" Jim Carrey laughed, leaned casually on the couch, and vigorously brushed his hair through his already thick fingers, pulling them together until the end.
"Frankly, I was a little scared, and to be honest, I imagined this moment thousands of times, imagining that I could break away from being the king of comedy and make a movie to pursue my dreams. But you know, in a real sense, this is the first time I've made a film that is completely out of comedy, and even plays a character who doesn't laugh very much, but grows loudly. Jin Carrey poured some more wine and touched Zhou Shaoming lightly.
"I understand your feelings, the night before I made my first movie "Chainsaw", I couldn't sleep, and I was even afraid that I would meet an unacceptable fate, afraid that I would try my best, but I would fail around the corner." Zhou Shaoming understood that Jim Carrey needed some enlightenment, so he said frankly.
Jim Carrey leaned back, put his hands behind his head, stared at the ceiling and said slowly: "I'm as young as I was when I was when that boy walked on camera for the first time, and this feeling made me feel a strong desire and a strong sense of defeat." Oh God, how did Jim Carrey get mixed up again, and he turned out to be a supporting character! ”
Zhou Shaoming fiddled with the wine glass, looked at Jin Carrey seriously, and said in a very quiet and clear voice: "How can you think so, Jim Carrey." You're not getting more and more mixed in, you're moving forward, moving forward step by step, even though the road has twists and turns, difficulties, mud, and even it is difficult for you to pull up your legs that have fallen into the mire. However, do not forget that you are facing the right direction and you are on the path of your dreams. Only do your best, you can only work hard, everything only needs the process! If you continue to do it, the world will see a different you, a different you! ”
Jim Carrey didn't speak, just sat quietly, and Zhou Shaoming's words touched him a little.
"But, if I can't do it well, if I can't do what you imagined, I'm afraid that I'm used to my surname and bring the old routines of the old performances I used to perform......" After pondering for a while, Jim Carrey opened his mouth and stopped talking.
Zhou Shaoming poured him a glass of wine and looked at him with a smile: "We filmmakers are constantly running, like travelers chasing trains. From one station to another, from one movie to another, until the end of our lives, until we were too old to shoot anymore, too old to get on the train again. ”
Jin Carrey raised his head to look at Zhou Shaoming, listening to his words quietly in the dark, and the hesitation, dissatisfaction and anxiety in his heart slowly disappeared under his words.
In my ears, only his words kept echoing.
Looking at the fluttering and flickering in Jim Carrey's eyes, Zhou Shaoming knew that it was time to give him some fierce medicine.
"When you get on the train, you become that kind of person. Now that you're on my train, you have to be someone on my train. Jim Carrey, let's be honest, I haven't made you a comedy king for a long time, it's just Frank sitting in front of me, the man who yells hard for his brother, in order to encourage his brother, and screams for him not to be defeated, and doesn't let him slap the floor to admit defeat, who can know how painful it is to see Brydon being beaten and his face covered in blood, and Frank who is a brother! Zhou Shaoming's voice became louder and louder, and finally exploded in Jim Carrey's ears like thunder, blasting him to the point that he was at a loss.
With his eyes wide, Jin Carrey looked at Zhou Shaoming, who had a somewhat hideous face and even a fierce face in front of him, and his mind was in chaos.
"The path you have chosen is not wrong at all, it is your heart that is wrong, it is willing to accept the status quo, it is afraid of failure, it is cowardly, it does not know how to forge ahead! It's so used to its cosy life that it's forgotten what dreams are, and you should let it boil, let it boil, Frank! ”
Zhou Shaoming suddenly grabbed Jim Carrey, grabbed his collar tightly, and his eyes were almost bursting with fire.
"I'm not Jim Carrey, I'm Frank, I'm Frank, I'm just Frank......" Jim Carrey didn't resist, just stared at Zhou Shaoming's eyes and muttered.
"You're right, you're Frank, give me some anger, Frank, you want your brother to beat everyone in the ring, understand, Frank!"
Zhou Shaoming let go of his hand, but his words were so deafening that Jim Carrey's eyes also caught fire.
Jumping unconsciously, as if facing a fierce enemy in his fist, Jim Carrey's fist made defensive movements back and forth, and his mouth began to roar: "Hit them, cross those cowards, cross them!" Don't shoot continuously, don't shoot continuously! ”
"That's it, Frank, feel your heart that is burning because it beats, obey it, and burn it," Zhou Shaoming jumped on the sofa excitedly and shouted loudly.
"OK, OK, burn, burn!" Jim Carrey threw a few punches violently, and he was furious.
"Shout at me, win!" Zhou Shaoming jumped on his feet, waved his arms, and shouted like crazy.
"Victory, victory, victory!" Jim Carrey raised his head to the sky and roared, his eyes full of tears of excitement.
Yes, for the sake of dreams, we will win!
