Chapter 127: This director is not easy to serve
Some jokes can only be made when the seniority, qualifications, and relationships have reached a certain position, just like Zhao Benshan and Shao Yingying can have no scruples when they joke, this is the only scene at the start-up press conference, the most annoying thing is that Zhao Benshan still looked at Shao Yingying with a particularly innocent gaze at that time, and it seemed that his thoughts were all hooked up with Shao Yingying.
Jokes are jokes, when it came time to film, Zhao Benshan was not ambiguous at all, and all the scenes they said were in place.
As we all know, the original film of "The Grandmaster" spans a lot and has gone through several years, which has led to the distinct weather in winter and summer, and in winter, it can be seen from the actor's frozen red nose and dry skin; In summer, it can be seen that people do not shiver in the rain, and wear thin clothes without shrinking their necks. And the crew at this moment happens to be able to shoot winter scenes in the Northeast, but the snow is not easy to touch.
With a more suitable natural environment, the crew is progressing very quickly, and the actors are all looking for the feeling of entering the role when they wear the costumes provided by Zhang Shuping, the famous art director of Xiangjiang, and at the same time, they are also waiting for Wang Jiawei's script.
It has been two days since the launch conference of the crew of "The Grandmaster", during which Wang Jiawei and the art director and staff have been busy working on the dilapidated train station, and they want to make a full set that people can see at a glance in the Republic of China era, regardless of whether the camera can take it or not, anyway, this scene must be saved.
Wang Jiawei's busyness made the entire crew and actors fall into anticipation, the script can't be memorized without lines, and if you can't memorize the lines, you can't enter the role faster, so how can this play be played?
Zhang Ziyi, Zhao Benshan, Zhang Zhen, these actors who have not worked with Wang Jiawei are all looking forward to the stars and the moon. In private, I didn't mention the words 'why haven't you sent the script yet', but there is only one exception in the crew. This person is Liang Chaowei.
The cooperation between Liang Chaowei and Wang Jiawei allowed him to open the road to the actor, after these two became partners, Liang Chaowei jumped at both ends, and in other films, he began to brush money, and when he returned to Wang Jiawei's crew, he began to brush trophies. This is basically similar to Liu Dehua's routine, Liu Dehua is acting in a bad movie, and he has to find a movie that can hone his acting skills.
Liang Chaowei's impatience in the crew is not only a gentle personality, but also a trust in Wang Jiawei. He himself is a man who never yells at anyone, and even if he has a temper, he will not let it out. Even going on a talk show will seem restrained, and even when I landed on "A Date with Luyu", I had already talked about the end of the show and found a little feeling. The moment such a person appeared in front of Shao Yingying, he understood very well why Liang Chaowei was persuaded to choose to stay when the Five Tigers decided to leave TVB, he was not a betrayal. I don't want to fight with fate.
It's the same with Wong Kar-wai's play. It's not that Liang Chaowei doesn't want the script, but after filming Wang Jiawei's drama for so many years, he is also used to it.
If you don't get used to it, you can't do it, Wang Jiawei didn't send a script and didn't see anyone all day long, who else can you ask for?
Looking for Shao Yingxing?
I'm sorry, Shao Yingying himself doesn't have a script!
Shao Yingying is indeed the screenwriter of "The Grandmaster", but he, the screenwriter, only helped Wang Jiawei design the character chart and relationship series in the movie, and the context and direction of the whole story were handled by Wang Jiawei himself. What's more, when he got this qiē, Shao Yingying went to practice Xingyi Boxing, and he didn't know how many screenwriters had scooped the script. So far, he hasn't even seen a piece of paper with lines printed on it.
Two days later, Wang Jiawei finally returned to the hotel, and in the crew meeting, Wang Jiawei's answer to the entire crew was that it was time to film...... At this time, John Tolle has been playing for two days, and the people of Benshan Media took the Hollywood number one photographer, who won two Oscars for Best Cinematography, to the Northeast for two days, and he came back every day with a drunken atmosphere, and he was probably the only one in the crew who felt that it was a bit early to start work, and it would be better if he could play for a few more days.
The crew was pulled out of the hotel by Benshan Media's bus by car, and the first wave of actors who went to the train station were only Shao Yingying, Zhang Zhen, and Zhang Ziyi, all three of whom had scenes at the train station.
Why is Liang Chaowei, who doesn't appear in the Northeast in the movie, also present?
Because Liang Chaowei came to the Northeast in the unedited footage, in the scene where Zhang Ziyi practiced in the snow, there should be a figure watching from afar, but that shot was cut.
Song Hye Kyo went back after attending a start-up press conference, and she would come over when her role was filmed, so the only people who went to the station this time were Shao Yingying, Zhang Zhen and Zhang Ziyi.
The first scene of the crew is the scene where the Japanese soldiers catch Zhang Zhen on the train, this scene tells the acquaintance process of the first line of Tianhe Gong Er, when Zhang Zhen sat opposite Zhang Ziyi when he was injured, Zhang Ziyi protected him and covered Zhang Zhen's wound with his coat, so as to avoid the pursuit.
After the movie was released, many people felt that this scene was very abrupt, how could a martial arts person who had no intersection protect Zhang Zhen? Could it be that I just saw a little white face on the train and played the Hollywood set of love at first sight?
Shao Yingying really wants to say that these people who watch movies don't have brains, when the Northeast falls into the hands of the Japanese-himself, it is impossible for a person like Gong Er with a chivalrous demeanor not to save Zhang Zhen, in the documentary of "The Grandmaster", there is a martial arts predecessor who said such a sentence, he said, 'In that era, as long as you resist Japan, you are a hero', not to mention that Wang Jiawei has named this scene in Gong Baosen's words, he said, 'The threshold of the palace family is high, But there is no villain', what will the daughter of the martial arts alliance leader do when she sees a man who is injured against the Japanese under the influence of chivalrous demeanor? Isn't it normal to save people?
At six o'clock in the evening, the crew prepared for filming after eating, and the preparation work was done for an hour, and the script was sent down at seven o'clock in the evening.
Shao Yingying glanced at Zhang Zhen's script, which is the script, it is a drama paper, there is only one line of words on a piece of paper, and it is written with a comma to the end, 'The Japanese arrested you, you were injured, sit opposite Zhang Zi, calmly take out a knife, Zhang Ziyi covers you'.
There is not a single line, not even a formal expression description, only an attitude.
See this. Shao Yingying immediately found Wang Jiawei: "Director, this kind of script can't work, right?" ”
There was no one around Wang Jiawei, everyone was busy on the train for the final inspection. Afraid of any mistakes in the set, Wang Jiawei sat alone next to the monitor under the train, and at this time, Shao Yingying found him.
"Why not?" Wang Jiawei raised his head and asked.
Shao Yingying said incomprehensibly: "You don't have anything in this script, how can Zhang Zhen act?" What a look to have, how nervous, how dangerous the situation is. How heavy is the injury, and what kind of state should I use...... When Zhang Ziyi came to protect him, should he suspect something first. Not a word, huh? ”
Wang Jiawei shook his head, and shook his head very seriously: "You are filming like this?" ”
"Yes." Shao Yingying thinks that Wang Jiawei is a bit of a shaft, how can he shoot if he doesn't film like this?
"Xiao Shao, I think. Actors are not puppets. There is no need to manipulate, the actor should be the creator, he takes the best things, and it's up to me, the buyer, to decide whether I need it, and if not, I will start again. What is written on paper is a performance within the framework, this is not ......what I want," Wang Jiawei explained as if he was afraid that Shao Yingying would not understand: "What I asked Zhang Zhen to perform may not be what I want." What I really want is after Zhang Zhen gets rid of a qiē. Give me his show, do you understand? ”
Shao Yingying listened a little twisted, and roughly seemed to understand: "Shouldn't Zhang Zhen have a little reaction to Zhang Ziyi who came to protect him inexplicably?" ”
"He doesn't have time, the day-himself will appear soon." Wang Jiawei explained: "Moreover, men's defensive psychology towards women is generally weaker. ”
"Shouldn't you explain it in lines afterwards? These two can't talk to each other. Shao Yingying is afraid that the audience will not understand
"That's not what I want."
Shao Yingying really wanted to go back to the capital immediately, and found Guo Degang to play with him with tongue twisters, and now Wang Jiawei is a little addicted to 'what I want'.
"Okay, okay, okay." Shao Yingying said three 'okay' in a row, he didn't plan to continue to speak, he just stood behind the monitor and watched, he just wanted to see how Wang Jiawei got this play.
The staff on the train walked down, and the assistant director shouted with a walkie-talkie: "Extras in place, extras in place." ”
Art teacher Zhang Shuping also walked down, and also made an OK gesture to this side, proving that the scene was okay, and all of them were ready, even Zhang Ziyi was sitting in the car, at this time, Wang Jiawei shouted with a walkie-talkie: "Ready!" ”
"Let's go!"
Zhang Zhen made a progress from the train door to the train, and then rampage into the crowd, the scene was extremely chaotic, the people in the carriage began to scream, at that time Zhang Zhen squeezed out of the crowd, and finally sat opposite Zhang Ziyi, he leaned on the back of the bench and gasped for breath, as if performing his pain, and the eyebrows couldn't help but stir, which was the frequency of pain.
"Click."
Wang Jiawei picked up the walkie-talkie and shouted directly: "The play is over, come again." ”
Shao Yingying wondered, in his opinion, Zhang Zhen had already expressed all Wang Jiawei's requirements, and even overfulfilled the task, Zhang Zhen's every expression in this play was in line with the current situation, why did it ...... 'click'?
I thought about it for a while...... Yes, it seems to be a bit too much, if Zhang Zhen has a similar expression on his face, even if he is an idiot, he can only make himself look very bland, it is possible to get through, and in the danger of life and death, a person who has seen a big scene must know how to protect himself.
Zhang Zhen didn't speak, and slowly got out of the car, and the extras all retreated, and at that time, Zhang Zhen glanced back, which meant 'Director, you don't want to say something?' For example, what am I not doing well? As a result, when Wang Jiawei saw Zhang Zhen's eyes, he grabbed the walkie-talkie and shouted directly: "Ready!" ”
The one who held Zhang Zhen back, turned his head, continued to look at the foothold, and planned to jump on it again......
"Let's go!"
……
"Click!"
"The play is not in place."
When the second time passed, Shao Yingying understood at a glance that Zhang Zhen's performance in this scene was indeed not in place, if he wanted to show the pain, he had to be real, and if he wanted to pretend to be cool, he chose to shut up, and he wanted to open his mouth to show that he was in pain, and he wanted to use cool eyes, then this play would be out of shape.
"Ready."
"Let's go."
"Click."
"Click."
"Click."
Wang Jiawei had a great time playing alone, Zhang Zhen ran over and over again, the whole person was covered in sweat, and even his forehead began to shimmer under the street lamp.
Eleven times, Zhang Zhen ran on the train for a full eleven times, and Wang Jiawei was not satisfied!
Shao Yingying pouted and thought: "Hurry up and take a look, otherwise it will be your turn in a while, and the end will definitely be worse than Zhang Zhenhai." (To be continued......)
