Chapter 177: The First Day of Shooting
"The actors who are about to play, Fang Chenglong and Men Jie, are all ready, and they are about to start the official filming of the first act of "Mythology"!"
On the second day of the press conference, on a boat rented by the crew, the crew of "Myth" was busy preparing, preparing for today's and the first day of filming!
The movie "Myth", at the very beginning, started with Fang Chenglong's dream, in the dream, Fang Chenglong dreamed that he was incarnated as Meng Yi, the general of the Qin Dynasty, and was ordered by the First Emperor to meet Princess Yushu, that is, the female number one played by Jin Xishan!
And when greeting Princess Yushu, the fiancé of Princess Yushu's country didn't want Princess Yushu to marry the bad old man the First Emperor, so he finally took the soldiers to rob the princess.
This scene is the battle between Fang Chenglong, the general Meng Yi, and Princess Yushu's fiancé, which ended with Fang Chenglong killing the other party, but both falling into the cliff with Princess Yushu ended in the end.
After that, Fang Chenglong woke up from a dream.
This scene, according to Menjie's idea, should indeed be filmed in the first act, but unfortunately, the filming of this scene requires Fang Chenglong and others to find a cliff and loess environment before it can be unfolded, and there is no way to build it in the bustling city.
Therefore, the first act of the whole movie, it takes a while, and the whole opera goes to other cities to shoot.
And now, it is the filming of the scene between Men Jie and Fang Chenglong, which can be said to be the second act in the film!
In this scene, as a science madman, he does not hesitate to betray his friends for scientific research and put his friends in danger. Even the paranoid scientist Menjie, who does not hesitate to sacrifice his life, will appear on the boat where Fang Chenglong is and invite Fang Chenglong to go to India with him. Carry out a series of scientific activities.
This scene, compared to the follow-up scenes, not only does it not have any danger, but it also does not require a tightrope or any action scenes, which is safe!
"Wow, your lifestyle is very undown-to-earth, how can you live there?"
Sitting on the sofa of Jackie Chan's 'home' on the sea. The dressed older Menjie looked around, looking a little surprised, while Fang Chenglong was pouring coffee for Menjie not far away.
In this film. Jack played by Fang Chenglong is about thirty-five or sixteen years old, as Fang Chenglong's best friend, Men Jie naturally has to dress up at this age.
The original "Myth". The actor who plays the number one supporting actor 'William'. is a famous actor-level actor Liang Jiahui, although his acting skills are very good, but in terms of appearance, he is a little old.
The actual age is not mentioned for the time being, just that after putting on makeup, Fang Chenglong can give people a feeling of robustness, and he seems to be only thirty-four or five years old, but Liang Jiahui no matter how he puts on makeup. There will be a feeling of 'old man' on the body, which seems a little out of harmony.
And Menjie. Although the age is only about 20 years old, but there is no clear 'old man' or 'little man' temperament on the face, it is very simple to dress up tender, after the careful carving of the makeup artist, he will build himself into a middle-aged man of thirty-four or five years old, which is also very simple!
Moreover, it may be because of years of hard life, so that Menjie has experienced a lot, Menjie's eyes also contain a deep and deep feeling, such a gaze does not need too much performance, it can give people a feeling of experiencing the precipitation of the years, and playing this role is even more handy.
At least, Tang Jili, who originally had some skepticism about Menjie playing a middle-aged man of thirty-four or five, was completely relieved and no longer worried about this problem!
But......
After all, it was the first time to watch Menjie filming, and Tang Jili still had some doubts about the acting skills of Menjie, a young man.
After all......
Menjie, you're so young!
The next lines that should be said echoed in his mind, Menjie acted, although he had not acted for nearly a month, but he didn't know what Lu Dao was for, the state was very good, just after shooting the first shot, Menjie entered the state.
The speed of entering the state is a little faster than that of Fang Chenglong.
"I rushed back to help you solve the problem of funding, I want you to help me make a TV!"
It was completely improvised, Menjie snapped his fingers, picked up the remote control in front of him, and pressed the button in a chic manner.
In the original "Myth", the character played by Menjie is a paranoid Frankenstein with a somewhat 'nerdy' feeling, according to Menjie's guess, in addition to the factors of the script itself, maybe Liang Jiahui gives people the feeling that he is slightly biased like this!
However, if the role of William is replaced by Men Jie, the script will inevitably have to be changed slightly!
At least, Fang Chenglong has deliberately asked the screenwriter to portray 'William' played by Men Jie as a Frankenstein who knows some martial arts, but is not very strong, has good physical fitness, and is very decisive in doing things, but has an extremely paranoid Frankenstein.
Menjie's current improvisation is also completely in line with the character of William!
"Cards! That's great! ”
After doing a series of actions, the time was very short, and even when Menjie had not yet performed, he only heard an excited voice in his ears, although he was a little dissatisfied in his heart, but Menjie still looked at Tang Jili on the side.
It seems that because Menjie's acting skills when he played William really surprised Tang Quillier, Tang Quilli ran to Menjie's side with a rich smile on his face, and looked at him a little strangely.
"I heard Fang Chenglong say that your kid's acting skills are good, and I didn't believe it at first, but now it seems that it's really very good!"
"Director Tang has won the award, it was a super-level performance just now, after all, it is the first act, and I can't be too vegetable!" Menjie grinned, and under the praise of director Tang Jili, he was naturally very happy in his heart.
Except for Fang Chenglong, the top and pinnacle of the Chinese film industry, you don't need to care about what other people say, let alone Menjie, even if it is some ordinary top movie stars, it is a wonderful thing to be affirmed by the director, let alone Menjie himself!
"Okay, keep it up, the scene just now is over, you take a look at the script first, and then continue filming later, and the others prepare for the next scene!"
After speaking, Tang Jili patted Menjie on the shoulder, then ignored the two of them, and walked over to the other side, looking a little nervous.
There were a total of four actors in the other wave, two men and two women, and except for one young woman who was Chinese, the other three were foreigners.
These people seem to be much older than Menjie, but their acting careers are far less brilliant than Menjie, not to mention the opportunity to cooperate with big names, even if it is a big-sized set of movies that have been filmed, there are only a handful.
Now, when cooperating with a giant like Fang Chenglong, it is natural that there will be negative emotions such as nervousness.
As the director, Tang Jili, at this time, must begin to appease the emotions of the actors and complete the filming as soon as possible, so that Men Jie and Fang Chenglong can continue the next shooting, otherwise today's whole day of work may be greatly delayed.
And Menjie and Fang Chenglong, as actors, naturally have to go to the other side to study the script, and they don't have time to pay attention to other people's ideas.
Simply enough, Men Jie and Fang Chenglong did not spend too long studying the script on the side, and with the help and guidance of director Tang Jili, the four more pink older actors all overcame all the burdens in their hearts, took out all their strength, and completed all the shooting.
Of course, even if they take out all their strength, in the eyes of Menjie, their performances are full of loopholes, but their roles are not many, not very important, and they are harmless, and they all passed the shooting after a few uses.
Next, it's time for Men Jie and Fang Chenglong to show off their acting skills!
For a long time in the future, Men Jie and Fang Chenglong filmed many scenes.
From the very beginning, Menjie and Fang Chenglong sat on the sofa, talking about the project that Menjie played by 'William' was studying, and when talking about this project, Menjie's acting skills unexpectedly had a small explosion!
After blessing the 'paranoid temperament', when it comes to his scientific research, his eyes reveal a feeling of 'fanaticism' that only Frankenstein has, although the experiment has not been successful, but from Menjie's body, it is not difficult to see a paranoid temperament, which is gradually exuding.
In this scene, not only the two of them were very satisfied, but the other people around them couldn't help but look up at Menjie because of Menjie's acting skills that broke out at the moment!
At the beginning, whether it was Sun Zhou, Shao Bing, or even Jin Xishan, although the relationship with Menjie was good, and even Jin Xishan and Menjie had already become friends, but in my heart, I was really a little optimistic about this Menjie, who had only debuted for a year and was just twenty years old!
After all, Menjie is too young, even if he has been a child star since he was a child, he has filmed a lot of acting skills, and it is very unrealistic to have acting skills comparable to those of first-line movie stars when he was twenty years old.
What's more, Menjie used to be a trick, and he didn't act in many film and television works at all.
However, Menjie's performance was indeed a big surprise to everyone!
Among them, Sun Zhou thinks that he is not as good as a master in acting, and his main profession is still a director, so he doesn't think much about it
Shao Bing, although he feels that Men Jie is a genius, and when his acting skills broke out, he was only a thin line away from himself, but all he cared about was when his acting skills would break through, and he was also a more righteous type, so he naturally did not have any dissatisfaction.
And Kim Hee-sun, his own acting skills have reached the A- level, Menjie only has B-level acting skills, no matter how explosive he is, he can't reach her level, for Menjie's performance, he only values it, and he doesn't have the slightest extreme!
It can be said that basically everyone present is full of admiration for Menjie's performance, and it is indeed Menjie's luck to have such a crew! (To be continued.) )
