This director is very reliable

Chapter 49
I heard that Sun Honglei is very conceited about acting.

It seems that when shooting "Seven Swords Under the Tianshan Mountains", Xu Ke was not satisfied with one scene, and then Sun Honglei changed five ways...

After that, Xu Ke took him to film "The Iron Triangle".

However, I also heard that Sun Honglei has a bad temper. Wang Quanan was planning to shoot "White Deer Plain" and invited Sun Honglei. The latter directly offered 20 a day, and only gave a one-month schedule.

This... this is playing big cards, right?

After the first scene was shot, Shen Changlin asked Sun Honglei about "White Deer Plain" during the dinner party at night, and the latter nodded: "There is indeed such a thing!"

But he also explained: "At that time, I took "Three Shots", "A Slender Gentleman", and "The Right Way in the World is Vicissitudes of Life". It was impossible to spare time and scare him with a price..."

"What if he agrees?"

"How is it possible, where did he get so much money?"

Sun Honglei shook his head, smiling wickedly...

There is another sentence in the back, which he didn't say, that is, he doesn't believe Director Wang Quan'an...

After all, Sun Honglei has become so popular in the past few years, and those who are looking for him are all big directors, so they must be the first to film the scenes of the big directors!
In contrast, people like Wang Quan'an must be in the back row.

Shen Changlin looked at Yu Nan, who had no expression on his face, and then he said: "...I haven't seen Wang Quan'an's works, including Jia Zhangke's and Wang Xiaoshuai's films! I studied film at Nortel, and all I watched were European films. , At first I liked Godard, Fellini, and Tarkovsky, until I saw Kubrick's "A Clockwork Orange", and then I had a feeling that art films should either go to extreme fringe themes, Otherwise, it will be difficult to impress people, because the masters have already shot all the re-shooted themes!"

Li Xiaoping heard the words and asked: "So, you are the director yourself, making commercial films?"

"Well... To be precise, I'm shooting genre films, and I rely on stories to win."

"Then what do you think is the most important thing about movies?"

Without hesitation, Shen Changlin said, "Of course it's a script!"

"Don't you think special effects and pictures are also important?"

"It's something that goes beyond getting the story done. I've written film reviews before, and I often use the phrase 'there is no basic logic to the story'. What I mean is, a movie should get the story right first, and then we can evaluate other things. Even If the story is not well done, no matter how good the other aspects are, it will be a castle in the air, flashy and a waste of ticket money. This is especially applicable to commercial films!"

After chatting for a while, everyone dispersed and Jin Chen followed Shen Changlin.

During the dinner just now, Jin Chen didn't say a word...

Very quiet, not like her character at all!

"why do not you talk?"

"I...I'm a little bit afraid..."

Shen Changlin was helpless: "You have to talk, you don't want to get along, at least you have to get along without embarrassment, Gao Yanan is a flower in the police force!"

"They are all seniors..."

"...I'll teach you." After thinking for a while, Shen Changlin said: "In this way, from tomorrow onwards, you will be the first to arrive at the crew every day, and the last to leave. If you have nothing to do, just help the crew pack the props and chat with the photographer Fu Duo ...without your play, just observe how the actors act!"

"Also, with the actors of the same crew, Xiao Wu, Da Chao, Captain Wu, including Sun Dasheng, you need to communicate more, so that you won't feel unfamiliar when filming..."

"A good actor doesn't happen overnight, take your time."

Jin Chen wept bitterly: "Director... I'm afraid I can't act well..."

Shen Changlin patted her on the shoulder: "I believe in you!"

Your character is just a memory point, you have long legs, kick people up, and your posture is very beautiful...

This kind of role is not to mention an actor like you who has acted in several TV series, even a car model with no acting experience will do!
Forget it, come to my room, let me tell you about a play!
……

The action scenes are still very hard...

In particular, the crew of "Big Man" has no serious action actors at all. Shen Changlin's request is very simple: "It can't be seen that these two people have been rehearsing for a long time, and it is best that both of them give the audience a sense of surprise like actual combat." . '

It also means that you can't see the signs of tricks.

And Jackie Chan-style juggling requires the help of a bunch of props...

The photography of choice is handheld photography.

Mostly medium shots and close-ups of faces.
The first act of "Big Shot" was especially difficult!
There are many characters, many shots, large scenes, difficult scheduling, and another big problem is that it is absolutely impossible to shoot long shots of fighting, and many shots need to be taken out bit by bit.

Most of the shots are three and five seconds long!

Jin Chen's fight is simple, just kick the opponent away with a flying kick...

Sun Honglei was even more miserable, especially in the opening fight scene, where he scanned the gambling files by himself, and this scene took two days to shoot!
In comparison, as a director, Shen Changlin is a bit out of place.

He was sitting on the director's chair, with lychees and malt candy next to him - local specialties, watching while eating.

Anyway, half a month after the official start of filming, it must not be smooth - the crew needs to break in, and this break-in period is usually half a month!
It's useless to be anxious, the staff from all over the world are gathered together, and they are not robots, and they can be perfectly matched when they come up, how is it possible?

……

Chen Xiao has been very nervous...

Especially after the crew saw Sun Honglei.

Sun Honglei's aura is too strong. Xie Ruolin in "Latent" didn't stutter at first, but actor Cao Bingkun was a little frightened when he saw Sun Honglei, so he couldn't help stuttering when he was responding to the lines.

"Now...there are two...gold bars, you...you...tell me which...which one is noble...which one is...dirty?"

The director thought it was interesting, so he changed Xie Ruolin to stuttering...

Cao Bingkun was panicked, let alone Chen Xiao!

Even though Chen Xiao has memorized the script by heart, and has written the biography of the characters three times...

But just be afraid...

Fortunately, the director is more considerate. In the early stage of filming, there was no rivalry scene with Sun Honglei, and it was basically Sun Honglei's scenes...

However, I still can't escape today!

There is a rivalry.

It was the scene where the two met for the first time. Sun Dasheng met Zhao Tai under the recommendation of a friend, and then Zhao Tai knelt down in public nervously, but still forced him to drink...

The main nightclub can free up three hours for them to shoot tonight!
Before the filming started, Shen Changlin approached Sun Honglei: "Great Sage, please stay put later, this scene is actually suppressed for you, it mainly depends on Zhao Tai's performance..."

Sun Honglei frowned: "...Is this kid a Chinese opera?"

"Yes, it's your little junior brother... He was very stubborn, refused to follow the unspoken rules, and jumped off the car directly!"

Sun Honglei resolutely cheered up: "...Yo, whose unspoken rules do you reject?"

"The senior management of his company... By the way, he used to be an actor of Huayi~"

Uh...Sun Honglei shut up...

This allusion is too obvious!

Well, Sun Honglei is actually a bit upset. Chen Xiao...

The main latter is the group with characters.

Zhao Tai and Sun Dasheng are rivals.

Therefore, except when starting the machine, after entering the group, Chen Xiao never said a word to Sun Honglei, not even a basic greeting!

This was requested by Shen Changlin, but Sun Honglei didn't know, he thought Chen Xiao was rude...
