Chapter 194: Zhou's Suspense Movie
"There is always a magnificent masculinity stirring in the hearts of mankind!"
And the movie must successfully evoke this feeling in the hearts of the audience, stirring to the swan song! This is also what his own films must adhere to and implement, and it is also something that must be vigorously promoted and strengthened.
Zhou Shaoming took notes seriously, and although the script of "Warrior" was as perfect as white jade, he still felt that there were a few places that needed to be revised.
First, in the original time and space, the old father knew that the tragedy of the life-and-death battle in the ring could not be stopped, he drunkenly listened to "Moby Dick" in the headphones, crying "Stop the ship......" Looking back at his son, he forced his red old face to Tommy's eyes and shouted out the captain's name: "Ahab! ”
The metaphor is already quite obvious and overly elaborate.
The old father should not say the metaphor of "Moby Dick" so plainly, this requires the audience to feel and comprehend, not mixed with private goods and forcibly stuffed to the audience.
Second, Jim Carrey lowered his own value, and even did not hesitate to play a supporting role, Zhou Shaoming had to find a way to help him add some scenes, so that his image could unconsciously change everyone's positioning of him.
How to add and what to add is a nerve-wracking thing.
The third is the ending that looks very tear-jerking and very moving.
Brother Brydon passed through one level after another as if he couldn't beat Xiaoqiang, but in the final round, he unexpectedly broke a spark with lightning and rampaged into the left arm of his fierce and invincible brother, which is a bit incomprehensible and difficult for ordinary people to accept.
Common sense, the strong and talented younger brother who has been invincible since he was a child cannot lose to his elder brother, and it is the younger brother who waits for work at ease, and the elder brother struggles all the way to the death [***] The strength is greatly reduced. On the other hand, this makes the audience feel that his brother Brydon is very scheming, and after breaking his brother's arm, he still hits his injured arm again and again, and finally almost strangled his brother to the ground with a cross.
As for the tear-jerking I love you Tommy, it will make people feel that his brother Brydon is so deep that he has nothing to say, which weakens the image of the whole character who is tall and plump and makes people cry.
Therefore, Zhou Shaoming made some changes, which he himself felt were very satisfying, which could effectively remove those unfavorable influences and make the characters taller and more reasonable.
Fourth, the first 70 minutes of the original "Warrior" were a little too protracted, and the director seemed to want to create that pathetic atmosphere, but the time was too long and annoying, and Zhou Shaoming reduced the scene here by 10 minutes to make it more three-dimensional and fast.
has made three movies, Zhou Shaoming This is the first time that it is not to increase the movie time, but to reduce, I originally thought that this would be a very easy job, but it took him a whole week, and the deletion of each scene was decided after countless arguments and thoughts in his mind.
It's ten times harder to reduce the lens than to increase it!
It seems that not everything in the world is as easy as you think.
In fact, Zhou Shaoming has made four movies, all of which have been modified to a greater or lesser extent, but in the final analysis, that is to follow one principle for all movies, from chainsaws to warriors, and that is suspense.
The whole movie is dominated by big suspense, forming a principle that is implemented from beginning to end, wave after wave or wave after wave.
The small suspense in the play attracts the attention of the audience, so that they can't help but pull their hearts when watching the movie, follow the camera, and finally reach the play, the suspense is solved or more open and amazing.
The big suspense, which can also be called the overall suspense, is the focus of the main conflict in the whole play, and it continues to strengthen as the conflict heats up, which is the emotional pillar that runs through the dramatic surname structure of the whole play.
The big suspense of the movie "Warrior" is that the two brothers compete in the boxing ring, which inevitably makes the audience think unfreely when they see the middle part, whether the younger brother will defeat the elder brother and give all the prize money to the widow of his comrade-in-arms, or the elder brother will let a miracle happen and save his family on the verge of breakdown?
In the middle, there are some contradictions between the younger brother and the father, the elder brother, the contradiction between the elder brother and the father and the wife, and the contradictions between the elder brother and the father and the wife, using small suspense to bring the audience into the movie world.
The suspense that makes the audience emotional and excited will make them empathize with it from the first glance, and their eyes can't leave the screen for a second!
Some people may think that suspense is more suitable for thriller horror movies, but Zhou Shaoming believes that all movies are inseparable from these two words, suspense, from beginning to end.
As for the shooting skills and techniques, the actors' performance and sense of presence, the post-production special effects and visual effects, they are just the icing on the cake on top of the fascinating suspense.
Putting down the script, Zhou Shaoming smiled slightly, although his understanding of movies cannot be said to be from the academic school, everything is supported by a theoretical foundation, but he is slowly creating his own new understanding, forming a unique and unique style, that is Zhou's suspense movie, from the beginning to the end, can not be stopped!
Now, everything is according to my expectations, and "Warrior" is like a sailboat with full power, riding the wind and waves.
Time passed day by day, everything went according to plan, the weather was nice today, clear and cloudless, the gentle sun shone all over the land, winter is far away, and warm spring is coming.
Zhou Shaoming accompanied Christina and cleaned up the lawn in front of his villa.
"Oh, I said, Mr. Director, why do you want to clean the lawn yourself instead of hiring someone? Are you so stingy? Christina smiled, sat on the swing in the courtyard, biting an apple and swinging, basking in the afternoon sun, and asked Zhou Shaoming, who was sweating profusely.
"It's easy, I'm going to keep my figure!" Zhou Shaoming put down the roaring machine, wiped the sweat beads on his head, and said with a smile.
"You're in shape enough, six-pack abs aren't enough, do you want eight?" Christina was holding the chain of the swing, her little lilac tongue was revealed, and there was a slight temptation in her eyes when she looked at Zhou Shaoming.
Zhou Shaoming put the machine away, sat on the swing with his buttocks, and took a bite of the red apple in Christina's hand: "Don't look at me with such eyes again, be careful that I will correct you on the spot here." ”
"Haha, right here? I haven't tried it yet, why don't we give it a try? Christina stretched out her slender Bai Xi's legs, rubbing against Zhou Shaoming's thighs, her face full of longing smiles.
"Okay, try it, come on baby!" Zhou Shaoming laughed and threw himself at Christina.
"Ah, you're really! It's not going to work, others will see it! Christina lost her face, hurriedly jumped off the swing, and casually stuffed the half apple into Zhou Shaoming's mouth, and then fled.
"Haha, now I know I'm scared!" Zhou Shaoming jokingly shouted while biting the apple in his mouth.
But after a while, Christina ran back in a panic.
"What's wrong, baby?" Zhou Shaoming felt that something was wrong, and asked in confusion.
"Wangcai, Wangcai, it's not in the nest, it's not at home, it's gone!" Christina was a little panicked, took Zhou Shaoming's hand and said.
"Oh, don't worry, let's go find it together, it must be going to play with Oritin's snow baina!" When Zhou Shaoming heard this, he hurriedly threw away the tools and ran out with Christina.
The community where Zhou Shaoming lives is very large, and there are many mansions, so walking is definitely not feasible, so he drove out of the car and walked around the community in circles.
"Prosperous! Prosperous! Christina leaned on the window of the car and called eagerly, hoping to see the snow-white dog appear in front of her like the wind.
Mr. Oritin's home is about 600 meters away from Zhou Shaoming's home, and he is cleaning his lawn in his overalls, while his family's Xuebena is wagging his tail and frolicking beside him.
"Mr. Oritin, do you see our family's prosperity?" Zhou Shaoming jumped out of the car and asked loudly.
"Oh, Mr. Smith, why did you lose your dog? I didn't see Wangcai, I haven't seen it in two days. Oritin straightened up and said to Zhou Shaoming, who was sweating profusely.
"Oh, then please help me keep an eye on it, and please let me know if you see it, thank you." Zhou Shaoming said disappointedly.
"No problem, Mr. Smith, if I see Wangcai, I'll help you catch it and bring it back." Oritin hugged his family's Snow Bedner and said regretfully.
"Thank you." Zhou Shaoming had no choice but to return to the car.
And Christina also witnessed everything, and her hopes came to naught, which made her even more flustered.
The car was spinning around the neighborhood, and Christina kept calling, but no matter what she called, Wangcai seemed to be missing, and there was no news.
"Oh my God, I'm so stupid that I can't even look at a dog." Christina couldn't help but be very sad, and her voice was a little hoarse, and she was so depressed that she could only blame herself.
"Don't worry, I'll find it, if you can't find it, I'll buy another one for you." Zhou Shaoming didn't know if there was a chance to get back his wealth, but he was more worried about Christina's current situation, and couldn't help but say comfort.
"It's our family, it's part of our family, it's not a question of buying it or not." Christina was unexpectedly a little angry, and Zhou Shaoming's comfort sounded very uncomfortable to her.
"Yes, yes, I just hope you don't do this, you see your eyes are red from crying." Zhou Shaoming was embarrassed, he didn't expect Americans to take their concept of pets so seriously.
"Wangcai, Wangcai!" Twisted Zhou Shaoming angrily, and regardless of his bitter face and repeated apologies, Christina continued to shout.
But hope slowly turned into disappointment, and the two of them walked around the community several times, spending two hours, and did not find Wangcai.
After searching all the places where Wangcai might go, and even opened out of the community, I searched the street for a long time, and the lovely smiling angel just couldn't find a trace.
"Let's go back first, it's getting late. If we can't find it tomorrow, we'll call the police, post some dog search revelations, and we'll definitely find it back. Zhou Shaoming comforted the sullen Christina and drove the car home.
Christina was speechless, just sat annoyed, looking forward to it, but still no news.
