Chapter 681

The press conference of "Infernal Affairs" was huge, and all the famous magazine media reported were invited to participate.

With an estimated investment of 1000 million, it will be directed by the famous director Yang Muwen, starred by actor Liang Jiahe and Chen Feng. Many powerful actors will participate in the performance, and many good news will be announced one by one.

People inside and outside the circle have greatly changed their views on "Infernal Affairs", and many media even speculate that this big production invested by Yi Shuihan Studio may be a big hit.

With the help of this wave of momentum, the publicity department of Yi Shuihan Studio expanded the scale of publicity and carried out initial publicity and preparations.

But to the surprise of Zheng Liaoyuan and others, the propaganda momentum of "Infernal Affairs" was blocked!
The press conference of "Prison Storm" took away the momentum of "Infernal Affairs" with the gimmick of many film stars joining, directed by Liu Haoyu, and 5000 million investment!

Excluding the factors of the script, the movie "Prison Storm" is not inferior to "Infernal Affairs" in any way, and even surpasses "Infernal Affairs" in many places, not to mention that the Sea God Group itself has far more channels. Better than Yi Shuihan Studio.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that "Prison Storm" is suppressing "Infernal Affairs"!
If two movies are released at the same time, the impact will be greater. For movies of the same type, in most cases, audiences will only choose one movie to watch, which will greatly affect the number of viewers.

This move of the Sea God Film and Television Group was beyond the expectations of Yi Shuihan and others, and it also ruined the promotional plan of "Infernal Affairs".

Yi Shuihan naturally also got the news!If this is the case...the same sentence, see the real chapter under my hand!
With so many powerful actors joining, plus the script of "Infernal Affairs", he didn't believe that they would not be able to beat the other party.

No matter how chaotic the outside world is, the shooting plan of "Infernal Affairs" has started step by step.

After shooting makeup photos and launching the press conference, "Infernal Affairs" began its official shooting.

Unlike the usual gangster films before, "Infernal Affairs" basically has no hot fighting scenes in the whole film, but the tension of the film is very strong.

Yang Muwen's ability is extremely strong, and he has reached a very high level in the control of the camera and the presentation of the picture.

According to the setting of the split-shot script, the beginning of Infernal Affairs uses the most concise shots to explain the background of the story-the underworld and the police place undercover agents for each other.

Brother Han Chen, played by Chen Ruquan, speaks chicly to a group of younger brothers in the Buddhist hall. In the camera, the young Liu Jianming is highlighted. During the continuous speech, the switching between Chen Ruquan and Liu Jianming naturally cuts into the story of Liu Jianming entering the police academy. Shots, and when cutting shots.

And Chen Yongren also left the police academy under the arrangement of Huang Zhicheng, and used classic contrasting shots in the shooting. When Chen Yongren was expelled from the police academy, he compared the attitudes of the two people slightly statically, and matched his lines, which made people feel even more I am deeply impressed by the moment that changed the beginning of the two people's lives.

Here, Yang Muwen uses a cross montage to show the different growth paths of the two.

Before starting the official narrative, that is, to tell the story of the two protagonists when they were young, it can be said that the story is told with the lens, and the scenes of Chen Yongren fighting as a young and Dangerous boy and Liu Jianming as a policeman training in the police academy are quickly switched to show the two characters. the process of human growth.

This section is compact and smooth, and in this compact shot, it took time to pave the way for the future story. Under the mirror, Liu Jianming paved the way for the later story of killing sister Mary, and the close-up of Chen Yongren's finger pointing at the wall is for the future story. Chen Yongren's undercover agent used Morse code as a foreshadowing. Although the camera transitions are fast, there is no useless content. It can be described as short but exciting.

It can be said that there are basically no waste shots in the whole film, and many small details that flash by have deep meaning.

From Han Chen in the temple to the scene of Liu Jianming saluting, the time was just over 4 minutes, but how Chen Yongren embarked on the road of undercover and how Liu Jianming rose through the ranks of the police have all explained clearly.

The amount of information in this paragraph is actually quite large. If it were replaced by an ordinary director, it might become the kind of Jueji——all the story settings depend on the way the characters say what you say and I say blabla's stupid dialogue. , this is very low, not clever.

But Yang Muwen can explain clearly with compact and exciting clips, which is where his value lies.

The refinement of visual performance and the emphasis on shooting to adjust the overall sense of the picture have always been a criterion Yang Muwen abides by.

And in the past few days of filming, even if it's a small test, you can see the acting skills of Yi Shuihan and others!
But after all, it was filmed in the way of cross-montage, and the acting skills of Yi Shuihan and Chen Feng were not shown in these clips.

In addition, Liu Jianming and Chen Yongren were more sharp-edged when they were young, and they were not as restrained as they were in middle age.

In terms of performance, it is obvious that Liu Jianming and Chen Yongren in the later stage performed more difficultly.

Although Liang Jiahe didn't have many shots these days, most of them would come to the set to observe Yi Shuihan and Chen Feng's performances!
Because of Yi Shuihan's eyes at that time, he developed a lot of interest in Yi Shuihan.

Because the footage these days has been relatively broken, he can't see anything great for the time being.

But in terms of performance, at least he can control this role.

Four leading actors!Chen Feng and himself are film kings, Chen Ruquan is an old actor who has been immersed in the film set for decades, only Yi Shuihan is the youngest, with the least qualifications and experience.

Liang Jiahe wanted to see why Yi Shuihan would not let him down!
The next shooting will really be the time to test him.

Yi Shuihan in filming is completely different from him in normal times.

During filming, Yi Shuihan is mostly obsessed with the role and cannot extricate himself, and his whole personality and behavior will be affected by the role.

Just like these days, Yi Shuihan is more reticent, with too many emotions hidden in his dark eyes.

It is precisely because of this state that Yi Shuihan has a deeper understanding of the role of Chen Yongren.

What's it like to be an undercover agent?Yi Shuihan Ci understood more deeply at this time: You want to gain the trust of others to achieve your goal, but you are doomed to betray this trust.The more successful you are at what you do, the stronger your sense of failure will be.

Chen Yongren does not have any autonomy. From the beginning to the end, he is just a doll and a chess piece that has been subjected to the criminal law. Their sense of failure and depression is exponentially magnified by "living successfully" again and again.

The closer you get to Han Chen, the more dangerous he is, and the more you need to be on guard against camouflage!
These emotions need to be disguised and hidden, so Chen Yongren needs to be the same as others on the surface, but the emotions in those eyes need to be deposited, which is a difficulty in his performance.

But during the shooting these days, in Yi Shuihan's mind, it was concretized into real experiences one by one!Then the depression and heaviness in his heart are also accumulating...
