As soon as the sun was shining in the sky, there was a bell ringing on a farm near Hollywood, and Shao Yingying, dressed in the slave costumes of that era, led many slaves from the room where they slept, rubbing their eyes and walking out with sleepiness. They accepted their fate, including the characters played by Shao Yingying, as if they had lost all hope in life, and they had long since lost the beauty that once belonged to them.

Escape is an unrealistic idea, and for slaves, their fate is either to be killed when their masters are unhappy, or, to die like this.

This is not a film like Django Unchained, and the theme of this film is not even rebellion, but about the ordinary life of a slave. This slave did not have the idea of defeating the slave owner in his heart, he just wanted to restore his free body, and this is the most real place. However, after the protagonist of this movie was replaced with a skin color, it was closer to the truth, Shao Yingying only acted in this movie in the heart of wanting to regain his free body, never had the idea of changing the status quo of the United States, and only fought back when he was forced to the extreme by the slave owners.

The current footage is a process of pressing the audience's psychological defense line little by little, and Shao Yingying will choose to completely release the explosion point when the audience can't bear the oppression of the slave owner.

This is a habit of a commercial filmmaker, no matter what type of movie he makes, Shao Yingying, who is accustomed to commercial methods, always hopes that the audience will have a hearty feeling when they finish watching the movie.

In the long shot, the slaves walk out of the wooden house with the ringing of the bell. Then switch to Shao Yingying, and use a close-up to put Shao Yingying's half into the shot, and the direction Shao Yingying is looking at at is the direction of the rising sun. And Shao Yingying said in Chinese that no one in the United States could understand as if he was not interested: "If you can give me back my freedom, I don't need the sunshine." ”

There was no unbearable helplessness on his face, and his emotions didn't even fluctuate much, just like a normal person who had been completely stunned and chose to bear it slowly when he was oppressed.

"Click."

After Shao Yingying finished filming this scene representing his state of mind, he walked to the monitor amid the shouting of the assistant director, and when he saw that his performance was on the level line just now, the scene was passed. Today. He also has a very important scene in the movie to film, that is, when the black slaves die, a group of black slaves sing requiems in front of the grave.

This scene is a very important emotional point in the whole movie. In order to explode this emotional point, Shao Yingying must think about how to make the audience feel sad through his performance.

When the day's scenes were slowly filmed, dusk was watching, from dawn to dusk. Shao Yingying will study how to shoot the next scene whenever he has time. How to act. At this time, race is no longer important, Shao Yingying, who lives among the black slaves all the year round, has long been regarded as a member of the black slaves, he only needs to show sadness, and everything will seem logical.

Finally, dusk came, and the black performers who participated in the performance were already ready by the grave, and there were crosses on the fenced cemetery, and when the burial scene was over, Shao Yingying stood among the black slaves.

"Ready!"

The assistant director roared. All the actors are brewing emotions, because it is not Shao Yingying who needs to cry in this scene. It's everyone except Shao Yingying's accident, Shao Yingying wants to show sadness when everyone chooses to cry, and this sadness can move people even more.

"JORADN CROSSED THE RIVER; AT THAT TIME, JORADN PERSUADED THE THREE TO BECOME ECSTASY; I awakened the devil in hell; SAID JOHN COULDN'T FORCE ME TO JOIN THE CHURCH; I SAID, "GO BACK, HORADN, GO BACK; GO BACK, HORADN, GO BACK; My soul will ascend to heaven, God. ”

The unique tone of the black man was sung, and the original sad tune easily touched people's hearts, coupled with the live shooting and scene introduction, these extras who came to play the crying scene were very involved in tears with a slightly more expensive salary than other temporary performances.

THIS 'ROLL-JORDAN-ROLL' THAT APPEARS IN THE MOVIE "12 Years a Slave" is even more interesting, especially for people who don't know much about religious culture. There's also a supplementary plot about Moses taking the people to the Jordan River, opposite the land flowing with milk and honey, and once they cross the river, they will be taken by God and become God's true people. However, Moses did not cross the river because Moses thought that there was likely to be servility among the group, so Moses led the people to have children on one side of the river, and let the children cross the Jordan River to build a perfect world.

This is the song sung by the black slave in the movie when his companion dies, and the song is not only sad, but also hopes that the soul of the deceased can enter heaven. In the original film, Solomon did not sing when the song sounded, he had the same sadness, but he hated God, he thought that he was unlikely to leave in this life, and he did not understand why he believed in God and ended up like this. In the end, the irrepressible pain of the death of his companion rushed into his heart, Solomon was likely to be next, and every black slave present could be the next, in this case, who would not want someone to stand by the grave and sing a requiem for his liberated self when he died, otherwise wouldn't he go to hell even if he liberated his soul?

Of course, there is also sadness that has to be mentioned.

“ROLL-JORDAN-ROLL…… GO BACK, JPRDAN, GO BACK. When the song sounded like a call, Shao Yingying stood aside with his head bowed, his lips slightly understood, then he stopped for a moment, and when he looked back at the grave, his face trembled.

In the camera, Shao Yingying's tears were already brewing very abundantly, and the assistant director could see the light in his eyes through the lens, but at this second, Shao Yingying suddenly looked up at the sky.

There is no camera aerial photography in the air, that is to say, under the sense of lens, there is no feeling of letting the audience look at Shao Yingying from the perspective of God, so there is only one meaning expressed by this shot with his head up, that is, evasion. It is common sense to use the overhead perspective to represent the insignificance of the protagonist, and to use the dodging of the eyes in the lens to shoot the protagonist's evasive mentality, but in this movie, Shao Hero abandons the sense of insignificance of the slave.

SLOWLY, SHAO YINGYING LET THE WELL-UP TEARS FLOW DOWN HIS TEMPLES INTO HIS HAIR, AND WHEN HE PUT DOWN HIS RAISED HEAD, HE COMPLETELY STOOD IN THE CROWD OF BLACK SLAVES, SINGING LIKE ALL BLACK SLAVES: "ROLL-JORDAN-ROLL...... ROLL-JORDAN-ROLL。 ”

Shao Yingying became a little hideous on the screen, he no longer shed tears, but gritted his teeth to make his facial muscles tense, he did not cry like Solomon in the original film, he had the same psychology as the slave owner who oppressed him when he was completely hopeless.

He sang in the same language as all the black slaves in the dusk, the camera slowly zoomed out from the close-up, the slave owner's villa and the fenced cemetery appeared in the camera at the same time, in front of the villa, there was a slave owner and mistress holding a fan to fan herself, and in the cemetery, there were all black slaves with tears and all black except for Shao Yingying.

That scene can be pounded through the camera in the hearts of every audience, and there is never a comforting voice that gently asks after all this: "Does it hurt?" ”

The scene was silent, and the black staff watched the incredible scene, they thought that the black people in the era they lived in had already lived in racial discrimination, who would have thought that in that era, the oppression suffered by black people could actually make them shudder.

When these people were in school, they had heard about many bloody events in history, and they had also heard about the Holocaust, the Civil War, and so on, but how could those things that existed in books be so shocking in front of them?

Not only are blacks stupid, but even whites are stunned, they think that the status of blacks in this society is high enough, and any black person can send you a lawyer's letter accusing you of racial discrimination when someone scolds a sentence similar to NIGGER, in the United States, racial discrimination is a very important thing, but no white person has ever sued a black person for racial discrimination, no matter what the black person scolds, even a white pig.

It's just that when all this is completely laid out in front of everyone, the white staff are also stupid, and the scenes from the shooting of the whole movie seem to have been connected into a picture and appear in their minds. Did a guy who used to have the same skin color as himself ever do such a thing? They used to run wild on the farm with knives in their hands, what if the slave was killed?

Such a question appeared in everyone's hearts, waiting for this drama to film the death of the slave...... It merely represents death, not a guilty crime with a well-deserved aftermath......

Touch!

It was as if a bomb had appeared in everyone's minds, and the pre-existing moral concepts were shattered.

IT TURNS OUT THAT THE PHRASE 'NIGGER' WAS THE NAME OF ALL WHITE PEOPLE TO NIGGERS AT THAT TIME, AND IT TURNED OUT THAT NO ONE WOULD EXPLAIN WHAT RACIAL DISCRIMINATION WAS, BUT IT TURNED OUT THAT TODAY THIS WORD WAS BORN AND VALUED BY THE ENTIRE RICE COUNTRY, AND THE REASON FOR THIS IS THAT SO MANY PEOPLE PAID FOR THEIR LIVES.

"Oh God."

The assistant director wiped his eyes, stood up and took the lead in clapping his hands and said, "Please forgive me, Mr. Director, the performance of all of you just now made me ...... I got into my own thoughts, and it was my fault that I didn't shout 'click' in time, but the performance was amazing. ”

Smack, smack, smack.

Applause erupted, whether black or white on the whole set, and at the same time gave applause, Shao Yingxing's performance made this scene even more brilliant, he made slaves, regardless of skin color, people, regardless of race. (To be continued......)
