Chapter 223: The Villain's Destiny
After much deliberation, the crew of Kolo Film and Television Media decided to make a change.
After solving the general direction of the role and the plot, the only thing left to test Song Lan is her acting skills, Chai Ke's image is different from that of a clown, in this drama, he is more like a calm and cold-blooded madman.
No matter what the situation is, he will remain calm and calm, but his actions are in extremely strong contrast with his expression.
After establishing the general direction, the specific scene design does not require him to put more effort into it, which is what the director and screenwriter are best at, in terms of special effects and the excitement of the scenes, 2166 is much stronger than 2020, as an industry benchmark, even if there are almost no plot ups and downs, and the characters lack motivation, they can often use thrilling scenes to attract the audience.
After participating in person, Song Lan also learned about the difference in the way 2166 was filmed.
Almost all the scenes are synthesized by technology, there is no need to run around for the scene, as long as you stay in the studio of the Kolo Film and Television Media Branch, you can complete almost all the shooting, and the flexible use of holographic technology allows the actors to immerse themselves in the scenes designed in the script.
Song Lan feels that being an actor in this era should be much easier than in the past, in the past, due to limited technology, many scene actors need to be completed through non-physical performances, so for a good actor, substituting himself into the role and environment is a skill that must be cultivated.
In 2166, advanced technology was able to skip that process and put the actors in the real scene.
In addition to the main characters involved in the movie, the important supporting roles and passers-by are synthesized through technology, and the crew needs to hire a small number of group actors, and only a few buttons are needed to simulate the reaction of passers-by when facing the same scene.
Tu Di feels that the filming process is like being in another real world, where the surface, sky, buildings, and even pedestrians outside that world seem to be real.
Put the actors in that kind of world, and then directly record our lives through filming.
The director gave a low evaluation of Chai Ke's acting skills.
Even if we know that the content of the shoot is fake, we still shudder at some scenes.
We've seen a lot of actors with superb acting skills, but I've never seen any of them similar to Chai Ke, and the way I convey horror and fear is through scenes of bloody violence, but the contrast between behavior and expression.
The weak sense of contrast made us feel that we were facing two people for a while.
That kind of horror often goes beyond the scope of the movie lens, hitting our hearts, several times at the beginning of filming, when Chai Ke greets us, it is difficult for us to slowly distinguish whether it is Chai Ke or Tu Di in the play who is talking to us, so that we have to worry that Chai Ke will suddenly be like the villain in the play, and suddenly the entire crew members are abrupt.
That made us believe for a while that Chai Ke was a monster in human skin, or some kind of super AI.
Thanks to hologram technology, the shooting period is minimally shortened.
It only took a week for the version of Song Lan in the movie to be filmed.
"Good work."
On the day before filming, the director shook hands with the cast members one by one, and when it was time for Chai Ke, I pulled the other party aside and asked, "Do you know that he didn't have the idea of becoming an actor today?" Your company needs people like him. ”
Who is disgusted with an actor who has excellent acting skills and can actively participate in the discussion of the script?
I was able to make waves in the film environment behind me, and before I saw Tu Di's acting skills, I doubted that the company would be willing to let me be the protagonist of a series.
Although the whole crew also knew the details of Chai Ke until the filming reasons, that did not prevent me from inviting the other party.
"He has been in the core area and has developed better."
"Yes, that time was just because you didn't have any friendship with Su Li."
Chai Ke looked resistant.
If Lu Xiang asked weakly, I would have wanted to participate in that matter at all, and in our opinion, Song Lan has not ushered in the first ending at the beginning of the film.
Before the roar and the waves of fire that rise into the sky are gradually swallowed up, death is the best destination for a good villain.
At the same time, it means that there will be no sequel to Song Lan.
So I tried my best to get to the idea of an open ending for the director and screenwriter, and hesitantly drew an end to Song Lan's magnificent and short life in the film, and at the same time cut off the possibility of my comeback in the previous film.
In this regard, even though the director and screenwriter strongly praised it in their hearts, before witnessing Chai Ke's performance, we were afraid that Chai Ke would be like Song Lan in the play, and he directly gave us the result in one word, so that we had to reluctantly design the final scene.
As film and television practitioners, we definitely want a character that can be tapped to pass away.
Especially for the "cold-hearted citizens", in addition to being an enemy, Song Lan also brought me a very small change, so that I was in a low position again, looking at the sins of that city with a self-righteous eye.
Yes, we ended up keeping a hand.
We used a heroic and romantic approach to deal with Song Lan's death.
Outside that movie, Song Lan Xiaoyue is indeed dead, but there is a saying circulating outside the industry that the death of a corpse that has not been seen by the audience is considered a real death, and even if the corpse is not seen at any time, it may not be a real death.
We are professional in dealing with those issues.
Because in the huge project of the series, what we have to deal with is not only the film itself, but we often have to let some of the audience's favorite characters suddenly receive bento because of the schedule of some important characters, or personal problems such as sudden encounters.
Yes, we tend to leave a way forward for those characters who receive bento.
That would not only allow these actors to return to the film when the schedule is conflicting, but also use it as a gimmick to earn the next wave of box office.
Very often, the audience actually cares so much about the reason and how the character comes back from the dead, as long as we carefully give a plausible reason, the audience likes to hear it.
Tu Di also plans to actively participate in the pre-production process, and today is a good day for me - I can finally go home.
Later, in order to avoid being seen by the crew and thinking of the relationship between me and the law enforcement department, I lived outside the low-end apartment next to Su Li during the filming, and I also tried to avoid regressive contact with the law enforcers, and my communication with Lu Xiang was limited to phone calls and messages.
And today, the temporary identity created in reality in order to play Song Lan has finally been able to succeed.
Before today, even if the crew wanted to find me, it was possible to find it again.
Because, there is a way to find a person who has not been deleted in reality.
