Under the smoke and rain, the bamboo forest is verdant, and the mountains are far away.

A well-dressed Prussian officer with a centipede-like scar on his face bowed straight and apologized to a lady in a kimono with guilt, and the rain was like a poem.

"In the winter of 1876, there were many rainy days in Japan that season, and we bowed to each other in the rain. I killed her husband, and I was full of guilt.

I'm sorry I finally said those three words.

At that moment, she smiled and wept.

Maybe time can really change a moment, I no longer hate the samurai, and she no longer hates me. ”

Sun Ziming nodded with satisfaction, Edward? Wyzik hurriedly shouted, 'Cut!' ’

The quiet courtyard behind him immediately became busy, Liu Weiqiang and Lao Du personally changed the camera position, and Edward also turned the lighting, props, makeup artist and other people around.

Tom Cruise, who was originally handsome, has an extra centipede-like scar on his face, making him look resolute and strong. As soon as he heard the 'cut' sound, Cruise wiped his rain-soaked face and let out a sigh. It's too difficult to make a movie about China Ming, no wonder even Hanks's good temper will scold him on the set. Now that China Ming has become the president of the Chinese Freemasonry, and I heard that he has become the leader of the most influential gangster in Asia, the "Punishment Heaven Society", I wonder if Hanks still has the courage to scold him?

"Ming, how's it going?"

Sun Tzu Ming muttered a cigarette, gave up half of his place to Cruise, and said expressionlessly: "It's not bad, I didn't play a brainless Prussian into a happy prodigal." ”

"Shit! Am I that bad?"

"Cut, don't be unconvinced, you just have a white face, if you change to a yellow face, you won't even be third-rate in Hollywood."

Cruise, who was in a better mood, made Sun Ziming's poisonous tongue so angry that he still didn't dare to scold him.

"Not convinced, huh? I will let you see Ken Watanabe's performance, people are actors, and you are a super idol star! ”

A few minutes later, it was still misty and rainy, and the snow-white cherry blossoms in the courtyard were falling with rain, Ken Watanabe's eyes were a little sad, and he said in a deep voice: "Perfect cherry blossoms are rare, as long as you pursue them all your life, this life is not in vain." ”

Cruise, who had already changed into a black kimono and put on clogs, said with a solemn face, "Who sent someone to kill you?" ”

Ken Watanabe replied: "I wrote a poem for my dream, I opened my eyes, he came across the ocean, I can't think of the last sentence, do you have any ideas?" ”

Cruise was just about to answer, but Sun Ziming's roar resounded throughout the courtyard, "Shit, Cruise, you're just a poop!" How could I find such a garbage like you to act in such a great movie? ……”

Tom Cruise's face turned red, but he didn't dare to scold Sun Ziming in anger like Hanks. In addition to being scared of this bastard's background, he was really scolded by this guy and had no confidence, when Hanks played "Forrest Gump", although he didn't win the actor, his acting skills were recognized by everyone. But he is the complete opposite, everyone thinks he is a super idol star, even if he has a wonderful performance in "Rain Man", he is said to be a true performance.

After Sun Ziming finished scolding, the crew continued to film, and then continued to let him scold,......。 finally scolded Cruise, and the performance was full of anger and resentment, but Sun Ziming did not stop. When Bian Duqian was sad and resolute, he said in a deep voice: "...... Me too, we only think that way when we face death, but when I return to the homeland of my ancestors, I have an epiphany. Just like these cherry blossoms, every life withers. Every breath you take, every cup of tea, every time you kill someone, you can realize life, this is the spirit of the samurai. ”

In the colorful courtyard of Luoying, it seems that there is only Bian Duqian alone, and at this moment he is like a philosopher preaching, standing in the cherry blossom rain as majestic as a mountain. Bian Duqian's aura drove Cruise's affection, and the look of resentment on his face was very naturally transformed into understanding, and he muttered: "You can taste life in every breath? ”

"This is bushido!"

Cruise, thoughtful, as if hypnotized, subconsciously said, "Hi"

The play of the courtyard answer ended in a scene-stealing rhythm under the aura of Bian Duqian, but the people on the scene were silent, staring blankly at the Japanese actor's supernatural performance.

'Cut!' over, ready for the next one! ’

Sun Ziming's excited roar made everyone wake up like a dream, and Tom Cruise hugged Bian Duqian in admiration and exclaimed: "Mr. Ken, you're great! ”

Bian Duqian also withdrew from the role and said modestly: "You are just as good. ”

……

During the lunch break, the Korean director who studied with the crew surrounded Sun Ziming and asked about today's scene in the courtyard. In their opinion, although the performance is very good, it is suspected of stealing the scene, will it be abrupt in the whole film?

When he wasn't filming, Sun Ziming changed back to his usual appearance, and jokingly said to Cruise next to him: "Cruise, what do you think?" ”

Because of the scandal, Cruise, who spent two years on this script, had fully understood Sun Ziming's intentions and asked rhetorically: "Ming, I was completely accused of this scene." Why is there such a big gap between my performance and Bian Duqian's performance? ”

'Hehe', Sun Ziming laughed and asked rhetorically, "What do you think?" ”

Cruise was really scolded by Sun Ziming so much that he lost his confidence, and even the demeanor of a superstar was gone, and he hesitated for a long time before answering: "One is the problem of character setting, you set him as my spiritual mentor, so in terms of momentum, I will inevitably lose to him."

Another reason, perhaps, is cultural differences. Ken Bian Watari himself is a master of karate, and he knows the Japanese bushido more than 100 years ago very well, and it is easy to perform the samurai temperament and thoughts of that era. And I'm going to play the stereotypical Prussian soldier, that time is a bit old, I can only play according to my own understanding, which inevitably conflicts with what you have in mind. ”

Sun Ziming slapped his face and praised: "Good! After making this movie, you can direct the film independently." ”

‘Year!’ Cruise excitedly waved his clenched fist, and finally regained some confidence, not only to be recognized by China Ming, a film master, but more importantly, to find the problem of performance.

Sun Ziming turned around and pointed to this group of Korean disciples who were not very experienced, "Understood?" The director cannot just look at a shot or the performance of a play, but must grasp the style and tone of the whole film from the perspective of the whole film.

The director uses the picture to tell the story, and before shooting, you have to put the whole story in your mind countless times before you can know what you really want? Will the audience accept it, will they be able to understand your story, and will they understand what you want to express? Therefore, we must find a delicate balance between what we want to express and what the audience can accept.

The level of a director depends on the level at which you find this balance. If the balance is high, the film will be obscure; If it is low, the artistic value of the film will be greatly reduced, and it will be reduced to a commercial film that completely caters to the audience. ”

……

"The Last Samurai", in this kind of filming, teaching, and learning, filmed slowly until the crew finished filming all the exterior scenes in New Zealand and was ready to go to Tokyo to shoot the interior scenes. Sun Ziming also arranged for Edward Zwick, who has been teaching these future Korean directors how to make movies under the rules of Hollywood, so as to ensure that the Hanjiang Group can transplant the rules of Hollywood in the future. After more than two months of running-in, everyone is also convinced that China Ming is still the original director, and will not change anything because he has become a gang leader, and they have begun to dare to talk back to him.

However, when the crew's chartered plane landed at Tokyo International Airport, they saw a large number of plainclothes policemen in suits and leather shoes and wearing miniature headsets, including Tom Cruise, who had a big fight with Sun Ziming on the set yesterday, and they all began to beat drums in their hearts again.
