Chapter 366: Group Play

Lao Jiang doesn't drink alcohol or tea, only drinks boiled water, and he carries a cup with him...... So many people have played Lao Jiang, but only Chen Zhiming has this habit.

Perhaps thanks to his reading volume and cultural level, Uncle Ming is estimated to be the most profound and comprehensive one of the domestic actors.

He told Chu Qing that when the actor left the scene, he appeared on these few steps, which was very good at showing his skills. Whether it's the screenwriter, director or audience, as long as you don't climb out, no one will watch you at all.

But in terms of performance, your play is not finished yet, so you must not go down casually, it must fit the character's feelings at the time.

Chu Qing understands the truth, but when he was told by others, he suddenly realized: Oh, I seem to have gone astray, focusing on the pursuit of visual effects and studying how to act well, but ignoring other knowledge.

And as soon as this brain is cleared, he also understands that there are still many places to make up and learn.

Chen Zhiming is undoubtedly a very good teacher, and chatting with this person is really addictive. After a period of time, the two of them were not filming, either in the hotel or at home, making a cup of tea, and chatting for more than half a day.

He is like a sponge, absorbing the experience and experience of the other party, because before this, he had no contact with this type of actor at all.

Uncle Ming belongs to the academic school of academics, no matter how orthodox it is, some of his arguments are very enlightening to Chu Qing, who has been in a period of stagnation since the filming of "Blind Well".

Not to mention anything else, just walking, it is also playing Zhu Youxiao, and Chen Zhiming can perform the spirit of "the decadent Tang Dynasty is like the collapse of the Jade Mountain". He can't do it, he doesn't know what Yushan is about to collapse, at most he drags a "shaky" or something.

He can also act very well, but it's definitely not like it, not like an emperor.

So what to do?

Reading, or reading history books, and even forming a set of your own view of history in order to hold this role.

Of course. This is all theoretical knowledge, and it will take a long transition stage to knead it into itself and put it into practice.

……

"Andy, you have to turn sideways a little bit."

"Zhizhong, you stand here, don't move."

"Wei Zai, you keep covering your nose."

"Qingzai, you have to look at Wei Zai."

"Ah Wei, you sit here, don't move."

"Teacher Chen is sitting over there. To play with that pair of sunglasses. ”

"Autumn Sheng comes in and takes half a step forward, Dawn stands, ok?"

In the interior studio, Liu Weiqiang and Mak Zhaohui went into battle together, telling the actors one by one.

This is a large group scene, and it is the only passage in the film where the seven major actors appear in the same scene, which is very, very important.

In fact, Zhuang Wenqiang was very hesitant when he wrote this paragraph, he could write it, but he was worried that he would not be able to shoot it. Not to mention Hong Kong directors. Throw it all over the world, group drama is a big killer, whoever touches it will die.

For half a century, there was Robert Altman. That's a real master of group drama.

But Zhuang Wenqiang thought about it for a long time, and decided to add it, but there was no way, the audience just paid for this to buy tickets. And what about the two directors. I also have no bottom in my heart, and I can't guarantee how exciting it is, so I can only do my best.

There were more than twenty people in this scene. A large studio was deliberately set up to look like a reception room.

To the left of the door, there is a full-length glass window; On the right, there is a deep idle space; On the opposite side, there are rows of white tin cabinets against the wall; In front of the cabinet, there are two rows of sofas, one horizontal and one vertical, at right angles, surrounded by a small coffee table.

The first basis of group drama is composition, and to put it bluntly, composition is positioning.

At this moment, Chen Zhiming was sitting on the sofa in a vertical row, and Huang Zhizhong was standing behind him, with his head wrapped in gauze. Zeng Zhiwei sat in the horizontal column, next to Chu Qing, and next to Chu Qing, it was Liang Chaowei.

Huang Qiusheng and Liming poked at the position just at the entrance, Liming was slightly behind, and Liu Dehua was one meter away from Huang Qiusheng's left.

In addition, there are more than a dozen temporary performances distributed around, compact but with gaps, which can just highlight these seven celebrities.

For this scene, the crew used four cameras to capture in all directions. Liu Weiqiang, Christopher Doyle, Wu Wencheng, and Li Yaohui each have a sofa, with the sofa as the center, extending several meters outward, forming a small and dense shooting area.

When it was ready, Mak Zhaohui raised his hand, and the scene reporter snapped a dozen boards:

β€œaction!”

"Hey! What do you want? ”

As Huang Qiusheng stopped shouting, the audience stood silent.

The camera moves sideways, slowly gliding over Wei Zai who is covering his nose, the arrogant Qing Zai, the smiling Zeng Zhiwei and the expressionless Chen Zhiming.

I saw Liu Dehua open his mouth and said: "I'm sorry, I didn't know what was going on when I asked us to take a few photos." ”

At this time, Liming took two steps forward and said, "I asked CIB to open a file for you, can't you?" ”

The original composition was very vague, regardless of priority, but his movement instantly controlled the core position and became the focus of the camera.

"Officers, have you had enough?" Zeng Zhiwei looked impatient.

"Hey, your Hong Kong police are really inefficient." Chen Zhiming wiped his glasses and leaned back on the sofa.

"Okay, then I'll hurry up."

Liming calmly made a clear face, pointed at Liang Chaowei and asked Huang Zhizhong, "He, beat you like this, do you want to complain?" Sign here if you don't complain. ”

Huang Zhizhong took the letter of intent handed by the clerk, looked at it with a beating, and threw it on the table.

Chen Zhiming smiled subtly, then snapped his fingers, and the other party obediently picked it up and signed.

Then, Liming walked up to Liang Chaowei and asked, "I beat you like this, do you want to complain?" ”

"Hey! Officer, are you playing tricks? ”

Chu Qing was about to come over when he was stopped by two policemen.

……

Among these people, there are five groups:

Mainland businessmen headed by Chen Zhiming, Hong Kong gangsters headed by Zeng Zhiwei, police officers of the Ministry of the Interior headed by Liu Dehua, security section headed by Li Ming, and serious crime team headed by Huang Qiusheng.

And the course of the incident is: Liang Chaowei injured Huang Zhizhong and was arrested by Liming and returned to the police station, after which the two bosses came to protect him, and rushed to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to take photos and archive them, but Ma Zai stopped them.

Five groups of people, each with their own thoughts, each with their own purpose, are complex and intertwined, and have diverse relationships.

As a director. It is necessary not only to show the fluctuations of each leading actor's feelings, but also to ensure that the clues are clear and the perception is smooth and free. In short, Liu Weiqiang and Mak Zhaohui's mood is like a dog.

Not only them, but even those actors, except for Uncle Ming, who has seen this kind of group drama, the others are all experiencing it for the first time. There were six technical NGs alone, and with performance errors, there were 23 NGs in a row.

"Click!"

Wait for the twenty-fourth time. Finally there was a complete one, Mak Zhaohui shouted to stop, staring at the monitor hesitantly. It worked well, but he didn't know if he wanted to do it again.

If the first part is a classic creation, the enthusiasm of the second part has not faded, and the third part is purely an errand. The whole crew is not so energetic, it seems to be busy chattering, but in fact it is absent-minded, just thinking about finishing it quickly.

Such an atmosphere. He wasn't sure he could get a better one. And it was such a hesitation, but the scene fell into a very short silence.

The camera was still on, right behind everyone, in the silence. It seems to hear the rustle of the film turning, which is wonderful and delicate.

Huang Qiusheng frowned, and suddenly turned to everyone again, from dawn to Andy. Then to Qingzai, swept over in turn, and everyone touched each other. There seemed to be the same light in their eyes.

Something that has never been done before, is instantaneous.

Filming "Infernal Affairs" is an honor and a burden, especially the third part, which is destined to resist great controversy.

Since the start of the film, I have looked at the actors' appearances, Zeng Zhiwei is casual, Huang Qiusheng is dull, Chen Zhiming and Chu Qing are pure soy sauce, Liang Chaowei's energy is all on the side of "2046", Liming wants to highlight himself, only Liu Dehua is working hard to act......

They always seem to be busy with things, gathering for filming, finishing work and dispersing, and rarely communicating. But today, at this moment, in this group scene, several people finally feel some kind of same feelings:

Unwilling!

Huang Sir couldn't help but smile, and when Liming took the initiative to retreat, he said, "Hey! Do? What are you going to do? ”

Liu Dehua immediately answered: "Sorry, the boss asked us to take a few photos." ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Mak Zhaohui and Liu Weiqiang were stunned, and watched them start over by themselves a little stupidly.

"The efficiency of the Hong Kong police is really low!"

"Hey! Officer, you're fooling us, aren't you? ”

"Let's go, Cuong!"

……

Article 25 came down, obviously much better than last time, and the seven people were still not satisfied, so they saw Huang Qiusheng continue: "What are you doing? Want to make trouble? ”

"Officer Huang, let's take some pictures, I don't know what they mean."

"I asked them to take some registration photos, is there a problem?"

……

After Article 26, the two directors came back to their senses, and the gang of goods went crazy.

Although this film is a complete political task, although this plot is not tense enough and the conflict is pale, although they all take on this movie with love, it does not prevent them, they still want to really dedicate a good show.

Dawn, thirteen lines.

Huang Qiusheng, five lines.

Zeng Zhiwei, four lines.

Liu Dehua, three lines.

Chen Zhiming, a line.

Chu Qing, a line.

Liang Chaowei, no lines.

The seven top actors in the Chinese-speaking circle, adding up to twenty-seven lines of dialogue, performed over and over again, said over and over again, every time there are changes, every time there are surprises, and every time they are not satisfied.

Four cameras, more than a dozen lights, all facing the area of a few meters.

And in that scene, wisps of scorching, rich, dazzling, magnificent, and colorful streamers seemed to rise, and everyone at the scene was pounding and almost bursting.

Liu Weiqiang controls the camera, his fingers are steady, but his lips are tightly pursed, as if he has reproduced the mood of shooting his debut film, which is extremely pure.

This scene, I don't know how many hours have passed, how much film has been consumed, it seems that it is dark and bright.

It wasn't until most of the people were about to stand it that they finally saw the seven stop, looked at each other again, and felt that the sky was wide, and then they heard a voice:

"Click! Pass! ”

(It is written that I am about to fall asleep, I am so sleepy today, if there is any confusion, please correct it, and go to sleep...... (To be continued......) R1292
