The best director ever

Chapter 550 Your Friend
In mid-June, the crew finally finished filming the prison plot, and prepared to pack up and go outside to shoot a few sporadic shots.

On the night of parting, everyone had a party in the prison.A group of prisoners still wearing reform uniforms gathered around the playground in the prison, drinking beer and eating barbecue, beaming, without the slightest awareness of being prisoners.

Han Qiu, Yuan Meng and the crew also mixed with the "prisoners" to experience the lively atmosphere.

Some prisoners felt that it was not lively enough, and hoped that Han Qiu could play some songs to listen to.After thinking about it for a while, Han Qiu agreed, and then directly asked Xiao Zhang to blow up the prison horn and play some popular pop songs.

The prisoners were filled with tears. After being "closed" for so long, they could finally hear some normal music.

At this moment, the scene where everyone looks up at the loudspeaker in the prison is quite similar to the scene where Heath played the song "The Wedding of Figaro" some time ago.

They are also looking up at the sky, and their eyes are also full of hope.

In the plot, Andy sneaked into the prison guard's room once, and then used the prison loudspeaker to play this cheerful song for all the prisoners, which made the entire lifeless and depressing prison more angry and hopeful.

Then Andy was beaten up by the prison guards and the warden, even so, he still had a smile on his face.

As if in the face of hope, everything is a cloud.

As for the song "The Marriage of Figaro", it was written by music master Mozart. It is a comic opera with a very brisk and clear rhythm, which is completely different from the siren in the prison.

Movies say that the environment can change people, and the same will happen in reality.These group performers playing prisoners have been in prison for a long time, and they want to go out to get some fresh air and smoke a cigarette all the time.Even if they know that this is filming, subtly entering the film will still affect their psychology to a certain extent.

When Han Qiu filmed that scene, it was the best time for all the group actors to cooperate.Everyone looked up at the sky, listening to the songs echoing in their ears, their eyes showed sincere feelings, and there were many traces of performance missing. It seemed that they were really yearning for hope and freedom.

But even if we walk out of the prison, stand at the crossroads of the city, and look up at the sky divided into pieces by skyscrapers, will we get real freedom in our hearts again?

Prisons and cities are made of reinforced concrete
Afterwards, the group performance was disbanded, and Han Qiu took the staff to a nearby city to film the scene where Brook hanged himself.

It is strange to say that the prisoners are old and after they are forced to parole, the government department arranges a place for them to live and a job for them.For example, Brooke's job is a packer in a supermarket.

After Brook committed suicide, Reid was released from prison, came to the room where Brook once lived, worked as a packer, and saw Brook's last words written on the hanging beam.

In the end, before Rhett wanted to commit suicide, he thought of the gift Andy left for himself. That gift was like a glimmer of hope, so that Rhett did not follow Brook's old path.

So, after filming Reid's story, the crew began to shift positions and went to a field in the suburbs.

Under a big locust tree, Xiao Zhang had already buried Andy's gift to Rhett there, and built a stone wall here according to the script.

At this moment, under the camera, Morgan is silently flipping through the letter left by Andy, with more and more smiles on his face.

When he raised his head to look at the sky and saw the light seeping from the leaves of the locust tree, Han Qiu shouted: "Cut!"

Hearing Han Qiu's voice, Morgan still kept his eyes on the light in the gaps in the leaves, and didn't come back to his senses until a while later.

Han Qiu stepped forward and handed Morgan a bottle of water: "The acting was great."

"I should have completed self-salvation, right?" Morgan smiled slightly.

"Forget it!" Han Qiu nodded and said with a smile, "I'm going to complete my own redemption."

Morgan knew that Han Qiu was going to quit, and he didn't show any surprise, but was a little emotional: "Director Han, to be honest, you are the most interesting director I have ever seen."

"Oh? How do you say that?" Han Qiu was very curious. He had heard many evaluations of himself, such as "awesome", "powerful", "genius director", and those weird nicknames , This is the first time Han Qiu has heard of the word "interesting".

Morgan smiled and shook his head: "I don't know how to express it, I can only use the word interesting. I have seen some of the movies you made, and some movies I haven't, but I have also seen the audience's comments. Evaluation. It's hard to believe that your word of mouth has always been so good."

Han Qiu smiled modestly.

Morgan continued: "I have never seen a director who has always had such a good reputation as you, and I have never seen a director who has shot so many types of movies and seems to be omnipotent. This makes me believe that there is indeed There's a lot of interesting talent."

"No, no, no, I'm not a genius, I'm just a director, and I just shot something that the audience wants to see."

Hearing this, Morgan suddenly smiled: "Haha, Director Han, this is what I said about you being interesting."

Han Qiu shrugged, shook his head and smiled slightly.

A few days later, the crew finished filming the last scene and finished it off smoothly.

The last shot was shot at the seaside, telling the story of old friends Red and Andy meeting again.

When parting, Histo Yuan Meng gave Han Qiu a large box of gifts.Han Qiu opened it and saw that inside was a clown's mask and a letter, and underneath it was a lot of chocolates with various flavors.

Han Qiu was speechless, this guy was still thinking about letting him swim in the chocolate syrup.

Open the envelope and it says:

"Dear Han Banxian:
If you read this letter, it means that I have already left. Forgive me for not going to the airport to see you off. I really don’t know how to say goodbye to you.I was worried that after saying goodbye, once you quit the film industry, you guys might never come to the United States to find me in movies again.

I’m a person who hates parting, and if you think about it for yourself, I almost never see you off every time a movie wraps up.The only time I sent you off was when I was sick 20 years ago.Actually, I didn’t want to go that time either, because Michelle and my parents thought you woke me up from my sleep and saved me, and I should repay you, so they asked me to send you off at the airport, they said that Chinese people like this set .

Actually, I know you don't care about that, do you, Han Banxian?
You are also a person who does not like parting.

I don't know much about Chinese etiquette, so I have to use my own way to repay you.You gave me a second life, and I have nothing in return.If you like making movies, then I'll be an actor for you, no matter what the role is, it doesn't matter.

You Huaxian have a saying called "The kindness of a drop of water is repaid by a spring".How about it?It's not that I haven't learned Chinese, but your English pronunciation is still not standard.

I remember when filming The Dark Knight, the clown had a line: I'm just a dog that runs after a car, and even if I catch up, I don't know what I'm doing... I just want to do something.

I used to be like this when filming, just to do something, and I don’t know why I played a role well.I don't even know who I am, so I easily assume various movie roles and experience different lives in various movie worlds.

This allows me to find some joy in survival from these characters, otherwise I don't know the meaning of my life.

Dude, if you didn't promise me the role of V at that time, maybe I still wouldn't wake up.

I feel like you understand me and what I need.Michelle has been with me for so long, I don't think she knows me well enough.

Maybe that's why we became friends?

Now that you're quitting, I think it's time for me to quit too.There is no character that brings me fun anymore, probably Han Banxian you sucked the fun out of me, maybe I'm about to be the father of a second child again and I'm sure he'll be taller than you when he grows up too .

If you come to the friends coffee shop in Los Angeles in the future, remember to order two cups of coffee, and mine has a little more sugar.

Your friend.

clown.
