Yi Feiyang lay down again, but he couldn't help but think of the "drama" he had just taught Noi.

I reached out and took the script I wrote, and looked at the scenes to be filmed in the afternoon, and the more I looked at it, the more I felt that the "drama" was not enough.

"What if you don't follow the previous life version, what if you modify this scene?" Yi Feiyang asked himself.

Immediately, Yi Feiyang's mind came up with many movie clips set in the "theater". Among them is that Chinese movie - "The Great Gold Robbery"!

In this play, it was a very wonderful theater scene at the beginning, two revolutionaries connected in the theater, but they were recognized by the Japanese devils, surrounded the theater, and then found out the revolutionary party. This scene is very human to test the character of the school, if it is grafted into "Lust and Caution", what kind of effect will it have? !

……

Yi Feiyang's temporary revision of the script made the entire crew "chickens fly and dogs jump", and those who are familiar with Yi Feiyang know that this is not the first time, and it will not be the last. People who are not familiar with him complain bitterly that he is deliberately looking for trouble.

But no matter what, the script has been revised, so those who should re-memorize the lines still have to memorize, and those who should rearrange the props have to be re-arranged, in short, everything follows the changes.

At noon that day, the whole crew finished lunch one after another, and then hurried to the theater. By the time he arrived, Fat Jack had already laid everything out and was waiting for the big guy to turn on.

"Boss, if you temporarily revise all this scene in the script, will it cause big trouble? Or will the filming of this scene be delayed? The fat man asked.

Yi Feiyang shook his head: "No need, if you can't even adapt to this mutation as an actor." Then stop acting! ”

Yi Feiyang is talking ruthlessly. The fat man and others who listened were speechless. In fact, from Yi Feiyang's point of view. It's not worth mentioning that the temporary revision of the script is not worth mentioning in Hong Kong, and even the director doesn't have a script for you to play, for example, Wong Kar-wai, the king of sunglasses, doesn't like to use the script when filming, and shoots wherever he wants. There is also a traditional "flying paper boy" in Hong Kong. That is, when shooting, write the script on the fly, and you have to shoot according to the above content. These are all difficult requirements, which are common for Hong Kong actors. Could it be that it has become a roadblock here?!

The main content of this scene is that Leonardo's Jack is watching a play in the theater, and Alpha, played by Noi, is waiting for an opportunity to connect with his partners in the theater, but when they secretly pass the pistol, Jack sees through it. Jack surrounded the theater and searched for it, and Alpha was able to escape with the help of his companions, who were shot dead on the stage by Jack himself.

After all the personnel were in place, Yi Feiyang sat on the chair behind the monitor and ordered the filming to start, and the theater suddenly fell silent.

The camera starts out in darkness.

Then transfer to the movie screen and tell everyone. This is the cinema.

The camera twists, and Alpha, played by Noi, comes in. He met with his companion in the front row as he had agreed before.

Close-up. Noi took off his hat and put the pistol hidden in his hat under it.

His companions also took off their hats and put them side by side.

Noi put his hat back on—his companion's, then smiled and said, "This movie is boring!" ”

"There will be more exciting later!" Said the companion.

The two smiled tacitly.

Seeing that everything is ready, it is time for Jack, the target of the assassination, to appear.

The camera changed, and the lights of the entire theater suddenly brightened.

Jack, played by Leonardo, leads the German gendarmes in. His gaze was like that of a falcon, and he glanced at it. Then he said, "I have received news that someone is going to assassinate me here tonight, so I hope you will cooperate with me in finding this abominable murderer!" ”

The theater was in chaos.

Bang a shot!

Jack fired a shot at the ceiling, and everyone fell silent.

"Now, I hope that the murderer will come forward, yes, then I may be merciful and spare everyone, or we will have to make a game......"

……

The camera falls on the big stage and slowly unfolds.

Jack ordered the German gendarmes to "invite" the audience in the front row to the stage, then blindfolded one of them and told them, "If you don't have a ghost in your heart, you will walk straight blindfolded, and if you go crooked, then God will not help you!" ”

As a result, it was obvious that Jack "killed innocents indiscriminately", forcing Alfa's companions to stand up and turn himself in, and in front of Alpha and in front of many French people, Jack personally shot and killed this "enemy".

It can be said that the filming of this scene went unusually smoothly, which made Yi Feiyang almost wonder "why would it go so smoothly". You must know that this script was modified temporarily, but the actors acted so wonderfully.

From this moment, Yi Feiyang has thoroughly understood France, and what French films can dominate the world in the 80s, because they really have talents!

In any case, this scene can be regarded as a successful filming, and the actors' acting skills are absolutely remarkable, Alpha played by Noi, who is resentful of watching his companion being shot, and Jack, played by Leonardo, is tricky and cruel. It can be said that just this scene reveals the hearts of the characters vividly. And this scene also forced the French underground to arrange for the female character Ruth to appear on the stage, let her approach Jack, and assassinate him.

……

Time has passed, and almost three days have passed since shooting.

In these three days, all the actors worked hard and acted very excitingly, which made Yi Feiyang speed up the shooting. Roughly calculated, at this level, this drama can be filmed within a month.

On this day, as Yi Feiyang's old friend, the French director Luc Besson came over, first asked Yi Feiyang if he was satisfied with the shooting location he arranged, and then said with a dead face that he wanted to follow Yi Feiyang for a few days and learn his shooting skills.

Yi Feiyang said that you are too modest, it should be me to learn from you.

Luc Besson smiled. In fact, Lao Lu was very curious about Yi Feiyang's directing skills, and he almost wiped out the four major directors in Hollywood. This kind of skill is also terrifying. That's why Luc Besson followed Yi Feiyang's ass curiously. Watch how he filmed this "Lust and Caution".

Shooting resumes.

The plot of the story also unfolds. Leonardo's Jack becomes a traitor and heinous person in the eyes of the French underground. To eradicate this guy. They worked out a very strict and cautious color ~ trick to decoy and decoy, and the one who acted as the bait was Ruth played by Kate Winslet.

Ruth is a quiet, good-looking, blonde girl who first approaches Jack's wife, Mrs. Esa, and then meets Jack for the first time.

At this moment, Yi Fei filmed the scene of the first meeting between the two, Ruth accompanied Mrs. Essa to play cards, and Jack came back under the escort of bodyguards. Through the crack in the door, he saw Ruth for the first time. Ruth knew that someone was looking at her, her expression was determined, and she showed a charming and quiet smile.

Jack couldn't help but be stunned.

Then Jack stepped into his enclosed room, lit a cigarette, vigilantly opened the hinge, looked out, and said, "It is already dark......

“cut~!” Yi Feiyang suddenly shouted to stop and interrupted the shooting, then clapped his hands and said, "Let's take a rest first." ”

Before Leonardo finished acting, Yi Feiyang shouted to stop. Everyone, including Leonardo, showed helpless expressions...... You must know that this is the 23rd time today, and every time Leonardo finishes this line. Yi Feiyang shouted to stop, and there was no satisfactory ...... This made everyone feel very frustrated.

And Yi Feiyang is now asking Leonardo to shape Jack's inner world in such a small number of scenes, which is really too difficult......

But Yi Feiyang didn't want an ordinary "Lust Caution", he wanted a "Lust Caution" that surpassed the original, if it weren't for that, he thought he was a complete failure, thinking of this, he beckoned Leonardo to come over, put his arm around his shoulders and said: "Leon, the Jack you played before was very good, reflecting Jack's ruthlessness and cunning as a traitor; But now, in his own home, in the fortress he built, unarmed, he is just an ordinary man! Yes, if he is human, he will feel lonely and lonely, and he will long to communicate with others, and even to desire true love. But he couldn't do this, so he could only vent his dissatisfaction with this situation in a perverted way...... What I needed was a man with deep depression and a split personality. ”

"I understand, I've tried to behave ......" Leonardo smiled bitterly, he had actually been thinking about it for a long time, and he had used many ways to behave just now, but Yi Feiyang was obviously not satisfied.

"No, your way is too direct, you are too accustomed to expressing your inner emotions directly, although this is very explosive, but it greatly weakens the real touch of human nature." Yi Fei pointed out Leonardo's shortcomings succinctly.

Although this handsome guy's acting skills have been improving, his acting style is very simple, he is very good at mobilizing his inner emotions, and then erupting like a volcano, shining a huge impact on the camera, which is also the most direct way to express the role, Leonardo digs his heart very sincerely, and all feelings are also very strong, but it always gives people a feeling of overexertion, which is his biggest problem.

"The authenticity of a mature man? I don't understand what you mean. Leonardo obviously didn't understand, and Luc Besson, who had been trying to observe next to him, was also very interested in how Yi Feiyang would mention Leonardo.

"Let me say so." Yi Feiyang thought for a while, and then tried to explain: "Most of the characters you played before were young people with direct tempers, such as Jack in "Titanic", and the Avengers in "Gangs of New York", what you think in your heart, you will express what you think in your heart, it is easy to get excited, say it directly, and you are also very good at acting, for example, when you saw Ruth's sweet smile just now, you showed some surprise and appreciation...... But the real Jack, he's a traitor to the Intelligence Bureau, a hidden guy, he's a guy who can really get above these emotions and control himself. ”

"It's easy...... It would be nice to be more restrained. Also as a director, Luc Besson couldn't help but interject next to him, "The characters can speak in a lower voice, or be more silent." ”

"But if you're too restrained, how do you express clear emotions to the audience?" Yi Feiyang asked rhetorically.

"Well...... Luc Besson, looking at Leonardo, who also raised his eyebrows to make a helpless expression.

That's the difference between movies and life. Men who are able to control their emotions in life are usually very reserved. It's a bit inscrutable. It is impossible to understand the meaning behind his words, but if it is expressed so truthfully in the movie, the audience will not be able to distinguish and be confused...... On the other hand, if a person is able to control his emotions at will, then he is not a human being, but a truly terrible actor!

As a result, a very serious contradiction arises. That's how a good actor should control the degree of emotion. It's high, it's confusing, and it's low, and it's tricky.

Leonardo and Luc Besson looked at Yi Feiyang at the moment, thinking to themselves, could Yi Feiyang solve this academic knot in film?

"If you want to best interpret the emotions and hearts of the characters, as far as I know, there is only one way, and that is the mirror split personality tempering method." Yi Feiyang looked at the confused Leonardo and Luc Besson and said slowly: "You are facing a mirror, and the self in the mirror is another person, you need to separate your personality from the mirror, and constantly practice the joys, sorrows, and sorrows of the character in front of the mirror." This way you will have a more comprehensive and intuitive understanding of the character! ”

"Mirror Split Personality Tempering Method? You're saying that I use the mirror directly to practice acting, and it's split in two. Become two people? Leonardo seemed to understand something, but at the same time he felt very embarrassed.

The so-called mirror split personality tempering is a very advanced form of performance, which requires the actor to have a strong self-control ability, separate one of his own personality in front of the mirror, and fully simulate the role to be played.

This method will greatly enhance the vividness of the character, such as a college teacher who is sanctimonious but thinks about how to trick a schoolgirl into bed, or a kind cleaner who thinks about how to kill the boss at night.

In movies, usually this kind of mirror hones the separation of personality to create classic villains, the most famous is the classic movie "The Silence of the Lambs" released in 1991, actor Anthony Hopkins played the role of "the most terrifying psychopathic killer in history" by countless film critics.

In the whole movie, Anthony Hopkins only has a mere 21 minutes of footage, and there is no body language, the only action he does is to stand or sit, and he splits his personality through the mirror, just relying on his eyes and speaking demeanor to reflect Hannibal, a cannibal, but the intelligent and personable psychology professor has a different two-sided personality inside and outside to the fullest.

In addition, Hong Kong actor Huang Qiusheng also used a mirror to split his personality when he starred in "Human Meat Barbecued Pork Bun", and it is said that in order to shoot this drama, in addition to constantly watching some heavy bloody news, he also watched a lot of files of perverted prisoners. During the filming, I continued to practice and figure out the character's personality and emotional expressions in front of the mirror. After the release of this drama, it was really a blockbuster, and he became the first third-level film actor in Hong Kong in history with this drama!

This kind of acting is known to all actors, but very few people will use it, the biggest problem is that this is extremely demanding for the actor himself, the actor is equal to passing through the mirror, and at the same time dividing himself into two people, it is easier at the beginning, after performing in front of the mirror, you can also retreat and withdraw from it. However, there are some people with weak willpower, who will not be able to withdraw from the performance in front of the mirror, so that they lose their original selves and completely become the so-called murderers in the play, perverted maniacs...... This is definitely not a joke, it is said that there is an actor in Denmark who used this method to practice the role of a serial killer, but he couldn't get out, and he actually ran out of the gang to kill someone......

In short, being able to use this method to hone oneself and enter and exit freely is something that only those actors who have a wide range of acting paths and excellent talent can grasp it.

Can Leonardo have this ability? This is still an unknown.

And the more important one is that although the mirror split personality is a very classic and effective way to build characters, what makes Leonardo and Luc Besson wonder is that in such a short period of time, can they really split another more plump and real traitor Jack?

"How do you show the gap between Jack and the inside?" Leonardo thought about it for a long time, but still had no answer, so he could only ask Yi Feiyang directly with some discouragement.

"It's actually quite simple." Yi Feiyang looked at the two and explained: "Jack is ostensibly a German Nazi elite and a feared and fearful senior intelligence officer, but in fact he is a French traitor who has been used, the Germans will not fully trust him, and he will be abandoned at any time, and he also understands this, and he understands that as a French traitor, he will be assassinated at any time, and he is actually a poor worm living in the cracks......"

"Poor worm?" Leonardo and Luc Besson were stunned and looked at each other, both seeing the confusion in each other's eyes.

Leonardo is an actor, and in his opinion, the character of Jack is a man of high authority, and perhaps nothing will scare him except death.

Luc Besson is a director, and for him the character of Jack is a very complex symbol, representing the past and the present, the past is the French elite, and now it is a nightmare for the French. What was good in the past is evil now.

But no matter what, no matter how he looks at it from beginning to end, he has nothing to do with the "poor worm". Besides, if it's really a pitiful worm, how can you play it?! (To be continued......)
