China Entertainment: Indulge in Vanity Fair

Chapter 62 Just ask such a provocative question?
After hearing this, He Fang smoked a cigarette and thought about it. He understood what Zhang Shuping meant. The first cool tone is simple, direct, and universal. He came up to tell the audience that I was talking about a depressive movie.

And the second one is exaggerating emotions, which seems warm but distorted, just like the movie turns singleness into a kind of distortion, it changes with the change of mood.

Of course, there is another intention, that is, warm tones are a major feature of Chinese movies.For example, Zhang Yimou is very good at expressing in red, and Wang Kar-wai likes to express with relatively high saturation colors, such as the black, red and blue in "Carmen in Mong Kok", and the desert yellow in "Evil and West Poison"...

Of course, there are also Jiang Wen's films "Sunny Day" and "The Sun Also Rises", which are examples of the application of warm colors to show the distorted world.

After some consideration, He Fang made a decision, which should show the universality of the artistic color of Chinese films.

"Then let's use warm colors and cool tones. Perhaps this is the distorted world created by two extreme organizations. In their hearts, this should look like heaven, but it is not."

Zhang Shuping and Li Pingbin looked at each other, then nodded with a smile.

"We looked at the conditions here, as well as the hotel. To be honest, there are a little less symbolic elements and a sense of depth, and there are no lines that can produce a sense of separation or meaning in the composition. I want to make some changes here, but The fee will be a bit higher." Li Pingbin looked at He Fang and said.

"..." He Fang was a little hesitant, "How much will it exceed? Will it affect the shooting plan?"

"Well, I have to ask Teacher Zhang about this." Li Pingbin glanced at Zhang Shuping.

"It won't exceed much, at most tens of thousands of dollars, and there will be no delay in time."

"Okay, let's do it. Since we want to make art, we should try our best to do it within the acceptable range..."

"But I want to remind you, it's best to think of the most suitable way for the performance style of this kind of movie. The performance in "Far Cry" is definitely not suitable for art films..."

...You can't talk about art with people who play art, it's endless...

Well, that night, Li Pingbin and Zhang Shuping didn't care about the feeling that He Fang drove over for several hours and needed to rest, so they directly dragged He Fang to chat after twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, abruptly shaking out all the thoughts in their hearts , and then the half-guidance and half-hard push made He Fang accept many of their creative ideas.

After returning to the room, He Fang simply took a shower and fell asleep.

In the next few days, he, Li Pingbin and Zhang Shuping will renovate the shooting location here.

The more He Fang collided with the two masters, the deeper his understanding of film art, and of course he knew that it was impossible for him to be led astray.

Whether it is the predecessor of this life who studied commercial films, or he saw the weakness of commercial films in the past, which led to the failure of the ideological field.

He has no objection to literary and artistic films, and will even make some.But this is not the mainstream, the mainstream is commercial movies.

As for him who studies film, it is not because of the explanations of Li Pingbin and Zhang Shuping these days, he does not have a deep understanding of some artistic language, let alone the audience?
Therefore, audiences who have not studied film majors cannot understand art films. Art films can only be works of art for a small number of audiences, not for the general public.

After the time came to the National Day, on October 10, basically all the crew members arrived, even investors and partners also arrived.

Just waiting for the launch conference on October 10.

Before the start, the whole crew organized a two-day script reading, mainly He Fang wanted to explain his requirements for the film to all parties and let all personnel have a deeper understanding of film shooting, so as to improve their efficiency. and standards.

In addition to the script reading of the whole crew, the next step is the orientation of the actors' performance.

"This time the performance will be slightly different. We no longer emphasize natural and relaxed performances, but require dramatic performances. A little exaggeration is required, and body movements are slightly larger. Come on, let's get used to it..."

In fact, these are not bad for those who come from majors. They have all studied body shape and dance, and even participated in some school stage plays or dramas. These are not unfamiliar.

But it is a bit unfriendly to non-students, they don't know what kind of movements are beautiful and not too much.

Fortunately, the change was not large. Although it was only two days, it was enough to deal with the sudden change in performance style.

Such a dramatic performance will not make people feel blunt, nor will it make the audience unable to watch it. If that is the case, then the way of the whole performance is completely wrong.

In fact, this kind of dramatic stage performance is just like Chinese movies in the 70s and [-]s. Although the modeling and behavior are exquisite, it will not make you feel disgusted.

The reason why He Fang requested such a performance was actually just to unify the style of the movie.The story is a story of irony and criticism, photography is about composition and artistic picture, and color is even more about using distorted color combinations, so the performance must be matched with such an overall style.

A little bit of mechanical stiffness and drama in the performance is to make people feel that the whole movie creates a distorted, tasteless, and always uncomfortable feeling, so as to highlight the situation in the movie story It is separated from the actual situation of people, the basic requirements of human nature, and the social atmosphere that should be there.

"Director He, are you free tonight?" After rehearsing for the performance, Liu Yan came to He Fang's side "inadvertently".

"Ha, if you have something to talk about, don't be irritable if you have nothing to do, first adjust your state and shoot a good movie. Before you make a good movie, don't think about it." He Fang said seriously.

"Tsk, where are you thinking, I don't know how to perform the act you mentioned." Liu Yan said in a low voice, and then glanced at He Fang's crotch.

"Hey, you... go to my place to teach you at night. If you can't act well, I'll see if I don't deal with you later, and you won't be able to get out of bed for a month." He Fang threatened in a low voice.

"Oh, I'm so scared, come here."

"..."

Forget it, who doesn't care about this kind of woman who doesn't know the importance.

At this time, He Fang should not use his lower body to think.Don't get confused, now it's mainly filming.Is it a good director to just think about women before things are done well?
No, good actor?

That's right, He Fang is also a little nervous now, because he is the leading actor.His nerves were always tense, and he really didn't think about anything else.

On October 10th, at 14 o'clock in the morning, the crew of "Single Zoo" held the opening ceremony at the County Guest House Hotel in a small town in western Hunan.

Some media and TV stations were invited to report.

At 48:[-], as the host, Guan Jianqiang took the stage to preside over the opening ceremony, and invited the principals of the main investors Huying, Huayi, Tuanhuo Culture, and Desheng Group, as well as directors, leading actors, and other main creators to the stage.

Uncover a red cloth together, and then set off a firecracker, the ceremony is considered complete.

There will be four 10-minute opening press conferences and a question-and-answer session with the media.

"Director He Fang, hello, I would like to ask, how did you get the two Bingbing into a crew? Who is number one and who is number two? How did you convince one of them to act as a supporting role for the other? ?”

No, is it just such a provocative question?Shouldn't it be time to ask some basic facts about the movie?
