I really can't act

Chapter 522 Mausoleum ([-])
As mentioned before, war films will have a training arrangement for visiting education. The crew of "I Come From the Future" took longer than expected to participate in patriotic education activities.

On September 9st, the weather turned cloudy, and the temperature dropped every day. The movie started shooting for a few days, and it just entered the state.

Dozens of black and white special-type actors who played the role of the U.S. military entered the stage, fixed their makeup, and participated in the filming.Now there is a small problem that needs to be characterized by the chief director Fang Yi:
What kind of performance standards should be given to the actors who play the villains.

Is it a complete villain with facial makeup, a complete evil, or a little bit of autonomy without changing the direction of the film, and even a strong and capable performance-the shaping of the enemy is also the key to the success of commercial films.

If you give some scale, to what extent?
This is a test of the director's grasp of the audience's psychology, and it is also related to the development of the times.

On this matter, many main creators are eager to speak and argue endlessly, and the actors and creators have opposite opinions and different positions.

Director Fang is required to mediate and be the referee.

One of the differences between many classic war movies in the 60s and today's war movies is the shaping of the enemy.In the films at that time, the pros and cons generally appeared facial makeup.The good is good and everything; the bad is bad, and the funny, goofy bad.

This is true of both East and West.

That's been different in recent years, so the actors are hoping for a breakthrough.

Jin Dong said: "In "Schindler's List", the Germans are not all bad guys; there was an American director before who filmed the Pacific War from the perspective of the Americans and the Japanese... I think it is a little more complicated to portray the enemy. , does not affect film evaluation."

Chen Jianbin went a step further: "If the enemy is too bad, it may seem that we are useless. It is because the fight is not easy, so it is valuable. Suffering is brilliant... Suffering creates glory."

Actors are generally in favor of giving the villain room to play, because it's easier for them to act.The opponents are all cubs and clay figurines, how can I play?

When it comes to creators, it's just the opposite.

Guo Fan said bluntly: "It is a risky move to give the villain space to perform. I'm not saying it can't be done, but it's not suitable for our movie."

Fang Yi: "Tell me the reason."

"What kind of movie are we? How long do we expect to shoot? Nine 10 minutes, 120 minutes? It won't exceed 10 [-] minutes at most. How long is "Schindler's List"? Three Hours. What mass battles did they film? They filmed far less than we did! So they had more space for villains than we did..."

"Movies have to choose and choose, and everything is important."

"The battle of the court is not a duel of knights, a battle of gentlemen, you sing and we come on stage, it is a battle of life and death, a battle of fate."

What do military experts say?They also belong to one of the creators and are members of the screenwriting team.

Fang Yi invited military history experts from the National Defense University and researchers from the Memorial Hall to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea:
"According to the data, the evaluation of the US military is 'rare in the world for its fierce firepower', 'often caught in a siege, and it is hard to rely on heavy equipment to keep us from gnawing down', "Let us fight hard and fight tough battles"; on the other hand , the 'light infantry' has relatively low fighting will, and their desire to attack is not strong, so they often give up their positions easily."

This is even more contradictory. The US military is both strong and weak.Both can fight and can't fight.

But the movie has to choose a tone.

Fang Yi filmed some transitional scenes in the early stage, which did not involve special-type actors. He gradually leaned towards Guo Fan's opinion: whatever the performance standard, just play the villain honestly. They are all villains, and there is no need for any standard.

However, he is also an actor, and sometimes he feels that what the Central Opera Group said makes sense.

This attitude changed on September 28th.

The crew filmed in Kuandian County, which is where my country's anti-bacterial warfare and sanitation campaigns were initiated.This year marks the 60th anniversary of the Sanitation Campaign, and the film crew came down from the capital to shoot a special report: "[-] Years of the Sanitation Campaign"

I heard that Fang Yi's crew is filming, so I invited them to participate in the live news program that day.

Therefore, the whole crew took a day off, and the main actors participated in the program and took a patriotic education popularization class.

There is a reason for this sanitation movement. On the night of January 1952, 1, the U.S. military began to use bacterial weapons on a large scale in North Korea in an attempt to cause a plague epidemic among the Korean military, civilians and volunteers, so as to weaken the combat effectiveness.At the beginning, it was in North Korea, but starting from February 27, the U.S. military expanded the scope of the germ warfare to the Northeast, and secretly spread bacteria and poisonous insects in Kuandian County.

A junior high school student picked up a germ bomb. He didn't know what it was, but he was very vigilant and reported it to the higher authorities.The higher authorities were shocked. After investigation, it was found that it was a kind of chalky bacterial bomb. The Gram-positive anthracis bacillus it spread had great lethality to humans and animals, and it was still effective after the death of the host.

So here we had to "deeply carry out the anti-bacterial warfare struggle in various places", and gradually developed it into "a serious struggle task for the people of the whole country".

The "traditional habit" of Chinese people today to drink hot water is actually a new habit, which has not been formed for more than a few decades, and it probably came from this hygiene movement.At that time, Kuandian proved through practice that drinking boiled water can largely prevent illness and infectious diseases.Then this habit was carried forward in that era and became popular all over the country.

Kuandian is a small place with an underdeveloped economy and a small population. Everyone never thought that this place would have such a profound impact on the people of the whole country.

In the evening, everyone followed the film crew to Xiahekou Village, where there is a broken bridge.It was originally built by the Japanese. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, it became one of the main routes for volunteers to send troops into the country, as well as a channel for exporting logistics materials.

From August 50 to the armistice of the Korean War in 8, the U.S. Air Force violated the airspace of the area dozens of times, bombing and strafing river bridges, power stations, dams, civilian ships and artillery positions, causing hundreds of casualties and breaking bridges.

Now there are only piers standing alone for 60 years, and there are still bullet holes left on the piers.

The reporter of the news crew introduced: "Today's estuary, the Yalu River is peaceful, the river flows peacefully, and it is slightly white in the sun. It looks like a huge sapphire inlaid in the middle of the green mountains on both sides of the river. The cruise ship carried Let tourists visit the scenery on both sides of the strait."

"We drove all the way, and the quiet village passed by the car window. The colorful mountains in autumn are very beautiful, which makes us very happy."

"I can't help but think: more than 60 years ago, the ancestors and heroes who experienced the war here, you did not enjoy such a time, but my safe and happy enjoyment was bought by your blood before-fortunately The Chinese people have not forgotten you, comrades in the literary and art circles are making a film reflecting your deeds, and today we have invited them to come here to pay their respects to the ruins."

"They will play you, please lie here quietly and see the highest respect offered by future generations. I want to say again, the river surface at this moment is really beautiful, there are no bullets and children crying, all thanks to you. "

"Some people died under this river. I don't know if they can see it now. I hope you will see it."

The old people of the Central Opera Gang, including Fang Yi, took the cruise together. Because there were too many people, they had to be divided into two and cross the river.

Fang Yi's hand fell on the clear river surface, causing slight water waves.A very small fish passed between his fingers, shuttled back and forth several times, until it disappeared.

He was affected by the host's lines, and he didn't speak much until he landed.I am thinking about the primary and secondary arrangements of the movie in my mind, and I am making a decision.

Jin Dong and Chen Jianbin are in another boat. The two have a good relationship recently, and because they support giving the villain actors space (essentially giving themselves space to perform), they stand together.

At this moment, Jin Dong raised his chin, motioning to look at Fang Yi on the shore.

Chen Jianbin: "What happened to Fang Yi?"

"He's definitely going to make a deal tonight."

"What? Do you think he won't give any room for acting? Just continue acting like a face, or at most add a little bit of sidelines?" Jin Dong said.

"On such a river, I'm too embarrassed to ask for it. However, I'm not being unreasonable. In literary and artistic creation, giving the villain a proper performance space is also conducive to the artistic evaluation of the film, and the film can be sold to other markets, maybe Americans will watch it. If this is a single-market film with an investment of 4 million yuan, it will be too difficult, and all aspects must be considered... I like to say on the set, I (you) are a professional actor, a professional actor!"

Chen Jianbin continued: "What do I mean? A professional person must do something very professional in line with our era..."

Jin Dong interrupted him: "But he was interviewed before, didn't he say he wanted to be a witness of the times? He has his own ideas, he is a director, and obeying the director is also an actor's job."

Chen Jianbin was stunned for a moment, and said, "Yes, it's his movie after all."
