Chapter 24: Double Torture
Zhou Yang was indeed a little stunned.
He felt tired.
During this time, he accepted too many things at once, and his brain couldn't digest them normally, but he was a little anxious, and he always wanted to understand it as quickly as possible, and then show the perfect plot of the movie.
There is an idiom called "pulling out the seedlings to help them grow".
Zhou Yang has had this taste since the beginning.
Even according to the method of "duality conflict and antithesis analysis of the story" in "Director's Handbook", he began to analyze the story line of "Blind Well" very seriously.
So it's substituting.
He found that a lot of movies were generic.
In the mine murder duo, Tang Chaoyang played by Chen Shuangbao is absolutely evil.
His wickedness manifested itself in every corner.
Eerie, terrifying, full of disregard for life, with only oneself in one's eyes, and then only interests.
It is a pure evil that cannot be changed by circumstances or anyone.
And Zhao Zhen's other character, Song Jinming, has an extra taste of humanity, although he is evil, he is also full of disregard for life, and there is no lack of selfishness, but it is not the ultimate purity.
There is still a trace of humanity in him......
As for the next character to appear, that is, Zhang Fengming, a young minor, and a child who dropped out of school to work due to poverty, he is full of kindness and hope for the world. (Yuan Fengming in the original "Blind Well").
Even dissected the whole movie, Zhou Yang found that this movie can be divided into human despair and a little bit of hope.
Just as when the film begins filming, the long, one-shot shooting technique of going down the mine hints at.
Dissecting and analyzing.
Zhou Yang began to unconsciously substitute himself into the role of "Zhang Fengming......
fantasizing about what I would do when I faced the situation in the movie......
He even began to take personal notes on the characters very seriously, and self-righteously wrote the character's autobiography and background background.
Gradually, he began to follow his memory, and involuntarily began to read the lines and make movements.
He looked in the mirror and began to ponder......
"No, no!"
"Continue ......"
"No! It's absolutely not good, and it almost tastes ......."
"Continue ......"
"No, the smell of the show is too heavy, we have to continue!"
“……”
Dead.
Zhou Yang, who was half a bucket of water, couldn't help but start to feel sleepy.
He put down the mirror in a daze and walked onto the bed, his body endlessly exhausted.
However, lying in his sleep, he began to dream of acting.
In the dream, he seemed to open the box of memory fragments, and the role of the child in "The Blind Well" seemed to gradually become clear, and he seemed to have become the child......
Performed over and over again, overturned, and then continued to perform, continued to overthrow......
Almost masochistic in pursuit of the perfection of the movie.
But he didn't know......
Outside the window, a figure was so cold that his back was cold.
Eventually, he lowered his head and walked back into the house as if he had thought of something.
………………………………
Director and actor are probably two different concepts.
Although there is a saying in the film and television industry that acting and directing well, a director who can direct a good movie may not necessarily be able to act in a good movie.
The next day, the crew started work again.
Starting work meant torture for everyone, especially for Feng Kai.
Many filming staff members are privately discussing whether today's Director Feng will suddenly be unable to suppress his emotions and explode, and finally fight against Zhou Yang.
Some people even began to simulate the situation when Feng Kai broke out, and then they began to think about what their positioning was......
Is it silence as a spectator, or is it persuasion and then reconcile the conflict between the two sides?
They're quite tangled.
But......
After the movie actually started filming, they suddenly found that the atmosphere of the crew had become extremely weird again.
Feng Kai faced the camera, almost immersive, and made an expression that was similar to yesterday's.
He pulled the characters played by Zhao Zhen and Chen Shuangbao to chat about the plot of dealing with the aftermath......
He wore glasses, and looked a little flustered after hearing what happened, but then he became shrewd and cunning again, and even when the "relatives of the victims" talked about the aftermath of the subsidy, he began to use both soft and hard again, treating life as a transaction, as a set of cold numbers......
That's an extreme irony!
Even looking at the camera and listening to Feng Kai's voice, he could feel this subtle feeling.
The staff was shocked for a while whether the person in the camera was Feng Kai and Feng Dao, or was possessed by some capitalist who careless about human life.
The feeling of selfishness and selfishness and regard human life as profit is simply vividly interpreted, even the miner actors who are also filming rival scenes have fallen into a state of discomfort for a while.
This scene is over!
Feng Kai peeled off from the role, he let out a long sigh of relief, combed his unkempt hair a little, and glanced at Zhou Yang.
He was very excited when he saw Zhou Yang's eyes, and applauded in the distance.
The effect he wanted had been achieved.
A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he walked in front of Zhou Yang step by step.
"Director Zhou......"
"Huh?"
"Show me the camera."
"Good!"
"Director Zhou, this scene, I personally think the camera has to be reshot!"
"Huh?"
"I think it's better to shoot in a documentary way, well, this film is not so much a film as it is a record of the dark side of this society, with a sense of irony in the contrast of despair and hope, which is officially loaded into the tone of the film, and at the same time, the lighting effect of this film is also a kind of suggestive technique to some extent......"
“……”
Feng Kai lit a cigarette and smoked.
While pumping, he stared at Zhou Yang.
He saw Zhou Yang's puzzled expression, and he was still serious.
He said a lot of professionalism, and his understanding of the script of this movie, more about the shooting techniques and the lighting effect he wanted to present, and analyzed the tone of the whole movie.
Zhou Yang listened to Feng Kai tell him a lot of things, he seemed to understand whether he understood or not, but he was even more dazed in his heart.
But!
He was emotional.
He finally saw Feng Kai's serious attitude towards this movie!
He thought about it for a long time, and finally nodded.
"Well, go ahead...... Director Feng. ”
in the crew.
Feng Kai gushed to Zhou Yang about a lot of shooting content and the shortcomings of the lens.
Zhou Yang's brain was like paste.
However, he forced himself to write it down and did not disturb Feng Kai.
I don't even feel the discomfort and loss of being crushed in my heart......
Instead, I'm excited!
He's finally able to learn more than just books!
That's how it is!
If you can make a good movie after reading a "Director's Handbook" and some messy director's books, then what's the point of Yanying's directing students who have been studying for a few years?
He simply took advantage of the innate advantages of crossing over to make this movie according to his memory, and judged whether the acting was appropriate, but in fact, he was in a state of half-understanding of the whole movie.
And a lot of the content of Feng Kai's words can even make him suddenly enlightened!
He felt like a sponge, absorbing the knowledge and gifts that everyone had given him.
"There's also the script issue...... I pondered the script very seriously yesterday, the script was written very fragmented, the plot explained was scattered, and there was no focus on one point to write, in addition, there are some dialogues that are imperfect, and do not conform to the current state of the characters, in my opinion, it needs to be modified, and it is best to use dialect to assist these dialogues, so that there is no sense of disobedience...... Director Zhou, what do you think? Feng Kai looked at Zhou Yang and asked for Zhou Yang's opinion.
He seems to be in the groove.
“……”
……………………
Afternoon.
The film continues to be filmed......
originally thought that Zhou Yang's torture was already the limit.
However, when Feng Kai suddenly seemed to be a different person and appeared in the crew as a real assistant director.
Everyone is beginning to realize that true despair has just begun......
Even this kind of desperation has involved investors Zhang Genshui......
