Chapter 325. 【Ninth Acting】
After filming the scene where the actor Donnie visits the US military base, it is a series of blasting scenes.
Before the explosion, Donnie, who had already played the demons, performed even more exquisitely, only to see that in the camera, Tony Stark, who he played, was very happy to accept the photo of the American soldier, a relaxed and humorous atmosphere, suddenly, the picture turned, and a rocket in front of the helicopter flew head-on, "boom"!!
Close-up: Fragments of glass and metal fill the shot in the explosion of a soaring wave of fire.
The most dangerous thing about shooting this kind of blasting scene is the control of the destructive power of gunpowder. In particular, it is necessary to file a record with the local authorities of the filming area, and anticipate the damage and damage that may be caused.
Yi Feiyang has filmed war scenes before, but the explosions in them are nothing compared to now.
In particular, the reason why Hollywood blockbusters can be called blockbusters is because its blasting scenes are very devastating and shocking.
“OK! CUT! That's it for today's shooting! After watching the blasting footage, Yi Feiyang gave a thumbs up and gave the order to finish!
At this moment, people who have been tired all day are too lazy to shout cheers, and if they really want to shout, it is: "I'm tired to death!" ”
……
After dinner, Yi Feiyang did not go directly into the tent to rest, but walked outside, found a higher place, and lay on the dry and cool desert, smoking a smoky cigarette.
Suddenly, footsteps came, and Downey walked over with a bottle of whiskey, "Hey, can you take a sip?" ”
Donnie handed the wine to Yi Feiyang.
Yi Feiyang took it and poured a big mouthful, hot and hot!
"This desert is really weird. It's still hot during the day. Now it's cold! Yi Feiyang said.
"yes. This is the characteristic of the western desert of the United States, where the temperature difference between day and night is very large! Donnie sat next to Yi Feiyang, silently pouring wine. I thought I could quit, but I still wanted to take a few sips. ”
"You don't have to quit this, man, you need to buy drunk occasionally!" Yi Feiyang muttered, "The desert is so beautiful at the moment, isn't it?" ”
Under a huge starry sky. There are only two figures, Yi Feiyang and Donnie. In the distance are dense tents, and in the distance, the tranquil west is breathtakingly beautiful, and beyond is the vast desert as far as the eye can see. With a gentle breeze and big stars overhead, it's a sight to behold.
Yi Feiyang and Donnie sat like that, not speaking for a long time, one smoking and the other drinking. It seems that just a word will break this beauty.
"Hi easy. Actually, there's something I've always wanted to say to you......" I don't know how long it took for Downey to turn his face and whisper.
"Oh, really?" Yi Feiyang looked at him.
Donnie shrugged: "A very simple word, thank you, man!" ”
"Thank me? Looks like you've already said that, doesn't it? ”
"No, this time is different!" Downey said with some embarrassment, "When filming today, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to find the feeling!" ”
"Is that all? Hehe, I'm a director, it's my duty, and it's my duty! Yi Feiyang thought it was funny.
"No, it's different for me, it's a great opportunity for me to get out of my life like shit and get your approval!"
"Then seize this opportunity! Buddy! Yi Feiyang smiled, "For you, and for our play!" ”
Yi Feiyang sighed after speaking.
Looking at Yi Feiyang's tired and slightly sad face, Donnie suddenly said, "Are you worried about this play?" ”
"You can see that, yes, I'm worried, worried about it going to fight Columbia's Spider-Man." Yi Feiyang said, "Actually, I wasn't so competitive before, but this time, I don't know what Lu Dao is for, and I told myself deep down that I must win "Spider-Man" and Sam Raimi!" ”
"Perhaps I know," said Donnie suddenly, "because you are a man!" ”
"Am I a man?"
"Yes, men have a desire to conquer and a desire to conquer, especially if you are as high as you are now, you will not easily admit defeat!"
"Hehe, it's not that I refuse to admit defeat, the main thing is that there is a huge company behind me, and there are so many company employees......" Yi Feiyang shook his head with a wry smile.
"But you're a Hollywood legend, aren't you? I can see that. This time everyone worked so hard. So unanimous. It's all about thinking that you can lead them to victory. Donnie's eyes flickered.
"Me? I think. But you know it. I'm just a mortal. Such a burden weighs on my shoulders. I don't know if I'll be able to pick it up. Yi Feiyang sighed. Turning his face, he said, "When there is land." I'm so tired. ”
"I know you're tired, man, yes, I know you." Donnie patted Yi Feiyang's shoulder, and his voice became infinitely gentle.
Yi Feiyang: "......"
Silent. Spread again.
This silence. Let Yi Feiyang's heart begin to beat suddenly.
Kao, two big men are here...... What kind of planes!
"Ahem, Donnie, alright, I'm a lot better, but I'm going to go rest first, well, yes!" Yi Feiyang patted the dust on his hands and prepared to stand up.
Suddenly, however, "Don't move! Donnie said suddenly.
Then I saw that he was looking at Yi Feiyang very ambiguously or strangely, and Yi Feiyang had goosebumps all over his body when he saw it.
No, does he want to......
I saw Donnie's body slowly leaning towards Yi Feiyang.
Do what?
the base?!
Damn it!!!
Yi Feiyang thought about whether to punch him or kick him away.
Just as Yi Feiyang was thinking about it, Donnie opened his hand to Yi Feiyang's shoulder......
Day, I want to die!
Yi Feiyang couldn't bear it anymore.
Bang!
Donnie quickly flicked something off Yi Feiyang's shoulder, and Yi Feiyang took a closer look, but it was a scorpion. The catapult hit the ground and burrowed into the sand.
Downey let out a sigh. "It's fine. This is a poisonous scorpion, easy, you are really lucky! ”
Yi Feiyang: "......"
For a long time, I got the other party's intentions wrong, God, fortunately I didn't make a move, otherwise the other party might have been crippled!
"Thank you!"
"You're welcome—besides, did you just want to squash me?"
"How do you know the way?"
"There's murder in your eyes!"
"Do you see that?"
"I've always been sensitive."
"Then I want to say. It was a misunderstanding. ”
"I understand!" Donnie shrugged and smiled, "Actually, I'm also a showman!" ”
Yi Feiyang was speechless again.
However, this very interesting episode further shortened the distance between Yi Feiyang and Donnie. As a director and an actor, when the distance is shortened, it is definitely beneficial for the film they are shooting, at least, the communication between the two parties becomes more harmonious and convenient.
……
After three days of hard shooting, Robert Downey Jr. performed very steadily. Put Tony? Stark's image of a cynical boy is so well interpreted that everyone can't make a decision.
During this period. Yi Feiyang almost didn't give Donnie any restrictions, letting him play at his own pace, but what people didn't expect was that the crew's smooth progress was suddenly stopped during the filming of the not difficult scene of "Tony Stark Turns to Steel".
Set up in the Western Desert, dozens of Arab actors dressed as terrorists in military uniforms and swinging with various guns, while several white American GIs covered in blood are quietly wailing in iron cages next to them...... There were still a few cold corpses lying next to them...... Vultures hovered overhead.
Escorted by terrorists, a ragged Donnie walks out of the cave, looks at the dazzling sun in the sky, and gently blocks the sunlight with his handcuffed palms, which is the first time he has seen the sun after his Tony Stark was imprisoned and tortured by terrorists for two weeks.
Donnie looked blankly at the wailing U.S. troops in the cage, and then looked at the various guns and munitions randomly placed around him facing the "Stark" logo, and was in a daze......
The terrorist at the head asked Ethan, a translator in the Middle East, "What is he thinking?" ”
"I was thinking you had a lot of weapons that I made." Donnie looked at him, anger and anguish on his face.
“CUT~!” Yi Feiyang suddenly shouted to stop and interrupted the shooting, then clapped his hands and said, "Let's take a rest first." ”
Before Donnie finished the performance, Yi Feiyang shouted to stop, and everyone, including Donnie, showed a helpless expression......
You must know that for several days, the filming went smoothly, and Yi Feiyang, as the director, did not stop, but now it is ...... This made everyone feel very frustrated.
Seeing Yi Feiyang bow his head and re-look at Donny's expression just now in the camera, Jack, the fat man next to him, also found that he was frowning and dissatisfied.
"Boss, what's wrong? Do you think it was bad just now? I've seen that you've been filming this for a day, and I don't think there's anything wrong with it. "Fat Jack has been following Yi Feiyang for a long time, and he has almost become a roundworm in his stomach, of course, in fact, as an assistant director, Fat Man has also helped Yi Feiyang a lot.
"Well, Donnie is completely wrong......" Yi Feiyang shook his head.
"How could it be wrong? Didn't you train him before and let him act like this? The fat man asked curiously, in his opinion, the role played by Downey is definitely exactly the same as what Yi Feiyang asked before, cynical and debauched, Downey played it very well.
"No, the character of Tony Stark is changing, not spotless!" Yi Fei raised his eyebrows and said deeply: "If it was Tony Stark before, then now, he is going to become Iron Man." ”
"Does it make a difference?" The fat man was stunned for a moment.
"Of course, these are two completely different concepts, Iron Man is an image created in the comics, specifically, he is a hero with a soul! And Tony Stark is the worldly incarnation of Iron Man, yes, a mundane thing. Yi Feiyang explained to the fat man in a deep voice:
"Although Iron Man is just a figurative symbol, any director, actor can shoot well, and if we want to make Iron Man feel like a real movie, then what we need to do is to build the character of Tony Stark."
Almost all fans in this world have a very big misunderstanding about superhero movies, that is, "popcorn-style movies with no connotation" just use big scenes to attract people. As long as it is in line with the image of a superhero. Whoever plays the lead role is the same.
Of course. This is also an impression given by most previous superhero movies, because traditional superhero movies, to put it bluntly, are to shoot the story of the comics, so that comic fans can see the childhood comics appear in the form of real people in the movies.
But this is actually the simplest superhero movie, strictly speaking, it can't really be called a movie at all, it can only be called a live-action feature film that is a comic book remake.
The reason why the so-called film is called the seventh art is because the movie is in the novel. Drama or comics are refined and sublimated on the basis of original works of art, and then evolved into a more deeply rooted art form.
Among all superhero comics, what comic book fans really care about is actually the story of the omnipotent comic book heroes of "Superman" and "Batman", and they do not treat them as a "normal person", but if comics are the art of building "heroes", and movies are precisely the art of talking about "people".
If the comics are not refined, the film will become a mere hero comic...... This is not what Yi Feiyang wants, he knows that there is only one point of combination between these two arts, and that is the heroic side. That is, the original appearance of Tony Stark in "Iron Man".
The success of the original "Iron Man" is not because of how handsome Robert Downey Jr. is in a steel suit to fight villains. And it was he who created a deeply rooted Tony Stark.
"Do you know the way? Now I want to see how many people I have killed with the weapons I made, and Stark, who is deeply guilty and guilty, can only become a real Iron Man if he repents of the sins of his weapon business! Yi Feiyang took a deep breath and said.
The fat man seems to understand, maybe in his opinion, Iron Man is Stark, Stark is Iron Man, how can these be two people?!
But Yi Feiyang didn't want an ordinary "Iron Man", he wanted a "Iron Man" that surpassed the original, if it wasn't for that, he thought he was a complete failure, thinking of this, he beckoned Robert Downey Jr. to come over, put his arm around his shoulders and said:
"Hey, Donnie, you played Tony very well before, but now that Tony is on the verge of life and death, and he has seen so many terrorists with the weapons he has made, and even seen the scene of terrorists beheading Americans, I need this character to make a performance and make a change...... What I needed was a charismatic and authentic image of a hero. ”
"I understand, I've tried to behave ......" Donnie said with a wry smile, he had actually been thinking about it for a long time, and he had used many ways to express it just now, but Yi Feiyang was obviously not satisfied.
This is the difference between movies and life, men who can control their emotions in life are usually very introverted and seem a little unfathomable, making it impossible for people to understand the meaning behind his words, but if the truth in the movie is so real, it will make the audience unable to distinguish and be confused...... If there is "space time", the protagonist's heart can be shaped through the side story and the lines of the supporting characters, and the protagonist can pretend to be cool, but movies of the type "Iron Man" do not have this "space time" at all......
For example, George Cruise and Michael Keaton have tried to portray Bruce Wayne in "Batman", which has caused the audience to have an emotional ambiguity about this character, and many times they don't know what the Batman is thinking...... It's hard for fans to accept.
To put it simply, there is a fundamental contradiction between creating a protagonist with depth and a fast-paced superhero movie, and the two logics are completely incompatible, so most actors play the protagonist of a superhero movie It seems very simple and empty, which is the reason.
Robert Downey Jr. looked at Yi Feiyang at the moment, hoping that he could point out where his dead knot was.
Yi Feiyang didn't disappoint him, and said with a smile: "No, in fact, many times the changes in the inner world of the characters are not shown by expressions and words, but by their eyes!" And you, just lack the change of eyes! ”。
A change in the eyes?!
Downey was in a reverie.
In fact, the reason why Yi Feiyang said this is because he remembered a very popular Japanese drama in his previous life, called "Hanzawa Naoki".
The name of the actor in this play is Sakai Masato, and this gentleman is a well-known drama addict in the Japanese entertainment industry, and it can be said that he is a late bloomer. And what he is most talked about is his ninth acting skill - no matter whether he is happy or sad, he is a smiling face!
For this kind of acting, some people ridiculed him for being "facial paralysis", and some people said that he couldn't act at all, but Yi Feiyang felt that it was definitely not easy for a person to be able to express all his mental activities with his eyes.
Who can express joy, anger and sorrow just by looking at them?!
"Now, Donnie, you try, yes, slowly try to freeze your expression into a single smile, and then use your eyes to show the mood of the moment, that kind of self-blame, remorse - remember, you are now in the enemy's hole, and your every move may bring you disaster, so you have to face everything in a way that smiles, but deep down in your heart, you are boiling, fiery ......" Yi Feiyang said to Donnie in a guiding tone "Hanzawa Naoki" style of performance.
For Donnie, it's fresh.
You know, Americans worship freedom, so they are very extroverted in everything, like we see in the movies, with rich expressions and exaggerated body language.
Therefore, in terms of performance, it is also very outgoing.
Like Yi Feiyang now, let Donnie all converge, leaving only a smiling expression, but the joy, anger and sorrow in his heart have to be expressed, this kind of rarity is great.
But Donnie is Donnie after all!
Born in a family of performing artists, he has that kind of acting cell in his bones, and after listening to Yi Feiyang's words, he soon had an enlightenment, or Daigo empowerment.
In the filming process of the scene, it is even more exquisite and unique. Gyllen Hill, who plays the terrorist leader, pales in comparison. And this also laid the groundwork for the next acting competition. (To be continued......)
