213 What does it mean to have plot depth?
Zheng Xu held a loudspeaker and stood in front of more than 100 "US soldiers" to speak.
"Today's scene, you have all read the script, the scene is very simple, after the alarm sounds, the formation is a little chaotic, and you can pedal quickly according to the positions arranged by each group!"
Zheng Xu kicked the stones at his feet, and said with a smile: "I believe it is the first time for you to wear this dress to play the US army!" Think of the image of the American military in the American movies you've seen before! You can giggle and laugh out loud, and those who show their faces have a little bit of expression and a little arrogance! ”
"But be careful, you can't stare at our cameras! Just go to the road sign ahead! ”
"Got it!"
"Understood!
! ”
Listening to the deafening response, Zheng Xu nodded with satisfaction, using this kind of professional group performance is to bring energy!
......................
The drone first filmed a top-down cutscene of the US military camp, and added some special effects in the later stage of this segment, and then matched it with an evil BGM, and the flavor of the US military came out.
In a messy camp, a black American GI is boxing with another white American GI in the clearing.
Although they were all painted by border guards in makeup, they looked like that from a distance.
Three large swing arms were shot in different directions and angles.
The camp, which only had more than 100 soldiers participating, gave a hard picture of the feeling of a battalion of US troops stationed.
Suddenly~ the alarm sounded.
On the radio, an authentic American accent came.
The American GIs who received the combat order quickly returned to the dormitory to sort out their equipment, and then pedaled to prepare to go out to carry out their tasks.
More than a dozen borrowed Humvees, plastered with gray-yellow desert livery style liveries, and machine gun props that can be used as real as they are.
A long line of Humvee motorcades rumbled out of the U.S. military camp with billowing smoke.
A few U.S. soldiers sat in the car and lit cigarettes, passing by the fleeting camera rather casually.
"Cards!"
Zheng Xu looked at Camp Commander Wang with a smile on his face and said: "Okay, the soldiers are doing very well, we have prepared lunch for you, you eat first, I will take some other shots here, you will rest for a while after eating and then continue shooting." ”
People came from afar to support the shooting, but they couldn't be disadvantaged.
Although this scene was filmed, the soldiers didn't even sweat, but the etiquette could not be lost, Zheng Xu first arranged for them to eat lunch in advance, and then let the soldiers rest for a while, and when they were almost digested, they were not afraid that this group of soldiers would vomit when filming in the afternoon.
After explaining to Camp Chief Wang, Zheng Xu rode an electric car and began to rush to the studio next to him.
There are still two small shots to shoot today.
...........................
"Do you remember the mantra?"
Lei Jiayin was suddenly stunned, and he didn't react to what Zheng Xu's mantra was for a while.
"Assi~ Do you remember?" Zheng Xu slapped on the back of Lei Jiayin's head.
"Oh oh, brother, you asked me coldly, I was stuck, I remember it, don't worry, it's absolutely safe!"
The little yellow haired Lei Jiayin was dressed in a US military desert gray camouflage uniform, and his head was wrapped in a camouflage bandage.
In his hand was a dirty M24 sniper rifle also wrapped in camouflage rags.
He played a villain in this drama and had a few rivalry scenes with Remu, but his real identity was a sniper of the US military in Afghanistan, and in order to make money, he occasionally took on the private work sent by the villain, the evil American biotech company.
According to intelligence, there are dangerous people hiding in a small village of Afghan people, and he is ambushed at a high point far from the entrance of the village in advance, waiting to snipe the so-called dangerous people.
But these are all fig leaf-like excuses!
The so-called tasks are all issued by the top level of the US military, for what?
In order to have a record of mission operations, the main thing is to let the US military consume ammunition!
Too easy. Only when the ammunition is consumed can new ammunition be replenished, and there is a reason to replenish the ammunition, so that it is convenient for US military officers to operate corruption.
After so many years of fighting a war in Afghanistan, a huge amount of dollars have been spent, where are all these dollars spent?
Others don't know, can Zheng Xu not know?
His relationship in the United States can even find out some information within the US military, and this matter in Afghanistan is a well-known secret of the entire US military.
The boss above is greedy for the purchase of weapons and ammunition, how can the soldier below get rich?
Rob!
It's as simple as that, just pick a random village of Afghan civilians, arrange a fake intelligence, and slaughter the village, grab whatever you get.
In this way, a perfect closed loop is formed, some of the American GIs below earn, they consume ammunition, and the US military elders above also make money!
Now that this kind of plot is being filmed, Zheng Xu is going to pick out some secrets that are not secrets first, how can I say this kind of thing.
Even if Zheng Xu shoots it, it won't bring him too much hatred!
Because Zheng Xu's person is set up here, he has a noble personality, as an international guide, what happened to care about the human rights of Afghan civilians?
Makes sense!
Even if the outside world doesn't approve of his statement, you can change it, but if it doesn't work externally, you can do it internally.
A director of Yanguo, who has been in the Oscars all the year round, pays attention to where the American people's tax money is spent, this reason is reasonable, right?
You don't care if Zheng Xu is nosy, as the old American saying goes, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility!
Zheng Xu's ability is very great, is the corresponding responsibility greater?
Is there such a thing as responsibility, there are national boundaries?
I'm just idle, I just want to care about the American people!
Can anyone refute Zheng Xu now?
As long as the discussion is brought to the public opinion, Zheng Xu has hundreds of ways to operate.
The all-round back road without dead ends has been left, and you can shoot it when you should shoot, I'm afraid of a hair!
For this kind of thing that seems dangerous, but in fact it is not very dangerous, and has a big bonus to his fame and personality, Zheng Xu is familiar with it!
........................
"Wait, what's the smoke! Why don't I talk about you, you don't even have a role experience now? What's wrong? Filming outside and filming? ”
Now there are no outsiders here, Zheng Xu looked at Lei Jiayin, who was not in the right state, and didn't save him any face, so he should quarrel.
"What do I want? It is a US sniper who treats the lives of Afghan civilians as if they were a mustard! How are you doing? Just a second crosshairs? Who wouldn't do that? The dogs raised in our company can come and play! What do I want you to do? ”
Rega was red-faced, and he didn't even dare to refute.
He is a little emotional, there are few resources in the company in the past two years, and when he first got married before, he needed to make money and make a lot of money!
went outside to pick up the work, which Zheng Xu agreed.
But there are more jobs outside, and his temperament is a little wild, not as good as in the company outside, he is a small actor in the acting department in the company, but it is different outside, after all, he is an Oscar-nominated actor, and his acting skills are not bad.
After a long time, professional skills will inevitably become rusty, and most importantly, the degree of dedication and serious attitude to the series will not be good.
Zheng Xu doesn't often cooperate with actors from the outside world, what Lei Jiayin was like before and what he is now, he can see the problem at a glance.
But what if you see the problem, you can adjust it, and if you can't adjust it, you have to adjust it!
That's right to scold!
"Brother, you let me slow down for a while, don't be angry, you sit first."
Lei Jiayin saw that Zheng Xu was angry, and he was stunned.
No matter how he is held in the outside world, it is all false, his roots are still flashing in the media, which is home and outside, he is still clear, now the boss is angry, the consequences are very serious, honestly admit his mistakes, just correct it quickly, dare to talk back?
Then the end will be even worse, this is the blood lesson summed up by all colleagues in the company.
......................
Regayin held a cigarette in his mouth, with a nonchalant expression, occasionally glancing at the scope on the sniper rifle, and then turned his head to play with the silver Zippo lighter with Afghan characteristics in his hand, the camera gave a close-up of the Zippo lighter, with a beautiful pattern and dark brown bloodstains.
If you think about the daily actions of Regayin, a sniper in the US military, it is not difficult to guess how this zippo lighter came about!
This is Zheng Xu's usual metaphorical technique, almost explicit, simple and easy to understand, and not so vulgar, just through such a small lighter, you can first stereotype the image of the US military in Afghanistan, as for the successful export of this drama abroad in the future, how can foreign audiences understand?
Oh, the current foreign film reviews, the network department of Flashing Media can also operate, even if foreign audiences really can't understand it, the network department of Flashing Media will write their own film reviews and let them understand!
The more small details like this, the more impressive the audience will be!
As for Regayin, a yellow man playing a US sniper, will it make foreign audiences play?
There's no need to worry about it at all!
The company's resources have not been much in recent years, and now the biggest impression of foreign audiences is that he is Korean!
What is so strange about the Korean-American American military? Makes sense!
Even this has an advantage, when filming "Hot Afternoon", the identity of Lei Jiayin, the Korean male lead, was a retired veteran of the U.S. Army!
Foreign audiences may see that Rega is more immersive!
......................
As a sniper, in terms of normal sniper qualities, you have to endure loneliness, lurk for a long time, and wait for the target to appear.
But as an old oilman of the US military stationed in Afghanistan, the role of Regayin has long been less vigilant and patient!
Regayin, who was bored smoking a cigarette and playing with a fire zippo lighter, three figures appeared in the scope, these three people had just left the village on a broken motorcycle, two adults and a child, and the child was sandwiched between two adults.
Without thinking much about it, the evil smile of Rega Yin aimed at the child in the middle, holding his breath... Aim... Bang!
A veteran is a veteran! Even if he has a cigarette in his mouth, it doesn't stop him from killing!
After a shot, the muzzle of the gun was aimed at the driver of the motorcycle, holding his breath... Aim... Bang!
"Assi~!"
Regayin spat out the cigarette butt in annoyance and cursed, just now the smoke slightly obscured his vision, and the shot that must have hit him was slightly crooked, only hitting the motorcycle driver's thigh.
Just as he was about to continue to aim and fire a third shot, Lei Jiayin's ears moved slightly, as if he heard something, and the muzzle of the gun turned and aimed at the far side of the village, the smoke and dust were billowing out, and the large American army that had come to encircle and suppress the dangerous people arrived!
But this should have been something to be happy about, but Regayin put down the sniper rifle and scolded in annoyance: "Assi~"
There's a bit of depth here.
Why was he upset when he saw reinforcements coming?
Because the reinforcements are coming, there is no part for him!
He only killed a child, wounded an adult, and the rest... It's not his turn to kill!
Hehe.
It's really dark here, Zheng Xu not only wants to oppose the war, but also uncover the fig leaf of the US military in Afghanistan, and also hack South Korea again by the way.
It's not black and white, it's not black, anyway, the Koreans can't do anything about him now, Zheng Xu has been banned from South Korea, and he's afraid of a bird!
.......................
"Okay, this non-physical performance is okay, the acting skills are a bit leveled, but your acting skills are not as good as chattering now, you are already useless, you will go outside to pick up the drama in the future."
The other scenes just now need to be added through post-editing, and Lei Jiayin made up the whole process by himself, and then acted out with a prop sniper rifle.
But Zheng Xu still mocked him mercilessly after watching his performance.
As for praise? Don't even think about it, this thing is not praised, just scold, the more ruthless the scolding, the more motivated he will be able to work hard, how can he do without a sense of urgency?
"Alright, pack up and change places! Hurry up and take a picture of the next one. ”
are all their own people, and their acting skills are passable, no one dares to act a few times in one shot, dare to exceed the second time, and Zheng Xu's ruthless ridicule will be ushered in, if it doesn't work, people will be wasted, and a scolding is indispensable, but the reality is not bad, at present, except for Lei Jiayin pulling his hips a little bit, everyone else is acting okay, at least Zheng Xu didn't bother.
Zheng Xu didn't care about the filming team that was still packing up the equipment, beckoned a car, and prepared to transfer.
"Get in the car with me, you can see for yourself the acting skills of others, shame is not ashamed, it debuts earlier than others, and the acting is not as good as others."
Looking at Lei Jiayin who was in a daze on the side, Zheng Xu yelled at him.
..........................
Not far from the hill is a small village of ordinary Afghan-style civilians made of loess mixed with wood.
is this kind of backward, dilapidated place, the scene is easy to build, plus Zheng Xu specially selected the filming location, people who don't know the inside story will really think that their crew went to Afghanistan to shoot!
Chatter is a hidden line in this play, and it occasionally appears in the first few episodes, and he knows Li Yuanchao played by Lei Mu, who is a warm-hearted Uyghur guy from Western Xinjiang, and he can be regarded as acting in his true colors.
The background is that he has a sister who married away to Afghanistan.
ps: Ask for monthly passes and recommended tickets, do you still have stock? Come on! The data is so miserable!
