This director needs to apologize
Chapter 337 Extremely Charming
Chapter 337 Extremely Charming
Chen Yiming noticed as soon as he heard it, there was something in Brother Kun's words.
I don't know how long he held it in before he decided to come face to face with him today to "ask for an explanation". Thinking of Chen Kun's hearsay comments on the crew, maybe Chen Yiming has paid special attention to him this time?
So Chen Yiming asked with a smile, "Why do you ask that? Song Yi hasn't filmed a few scenes since she joined the group. How difficult can it be to just go shopping with Lao Liu?"
Chen Kun frowned and asked again, "So in your opinion, the focus is on the location, not the performance, right?"
Chen Yiming was speechless. What Brother Kun said was wrong. It was full of accusations against a heartless man.
Although he felt that the person opposite him would be more depressed after what he said, Chen Yiming still told the truth. He was the director and who was he afraid of?
"As far as the location scenes in Yucheng are concerned, you are right. Why, does Teacher Chen have any objections?"
It's okay. Brother Kun didn't jump up. He thought he had done some psychological preparation before entering the room. He just shook his head and said, "It's okay. I don't need the support of everyone to act. In fact, I am quite good in your group." Feeling at ease, without the director’s nagging is what I couldn’t ask for.
I just have some doubts about my character design. I would like to ask a question. Director Chen doesn’t have to answer it. As of now, do you think the performance is not the key point, or do you think the performance itself is not important? "
Chen Yiming raised his eyebrows and asked, "Teacher Chen, is there any difference between the two?"
Brother Kun was more reckless and directly confronted Chen Daogang.
Of course Chen Yiming would not recognize the first interpretation. In that case, "The Thirteenth Floor" is a visual popcorn film. It is disguised as a fantasy science fiction film, but it is actually a Chongqing City promotional video plus parkour action. piece.
Because the underlying setting in the script is the divergence between memory and perception. A person may not really understand himself, let alone his wife who shares a different bed with him.
Rather than saying that Chen Kun can act in any way, it is better to say that with Chen Kun's temperament and acting style, no matter how his performance logic is designed, it is within the scope of Chen Yiming's approval.
On the set, the worst director today is recognized as Wang Jiawei. His habit is to describe an ethereal feeling to the actors, and then the lines are not moved, and the movements are not limited. Just change the way you act, and you can't do it again. , act until he shouts.
Compared with Wang Jiawei's approach, Chen Yiming is even worse. Unless he is an actor with an extremely firm sense of belief, after being "done" by the director for a few days, there is a high probability that he will be in a state of questioning his soul, and he will be at a loss as to what to do.
Chen Yiming doesn't care about his reputation, and he doesn't discriminate against entertainment works, but this will offend his own conscience and the original version of "Hackers from Another Dimension" that was brutally modified by him.
For a script like "The Thirteenth Floor" with a complicated plot, the communication between the actors and the director is even more important. If the performance goes off track, it is easy to get lost.
Therefore, in addition to Lao Pan, who had communicated with Chen Yiming a lot before, who was more composed, Liu Yijun, who was used to acting in spy war dramas, smoothly entered the Hengcheng mode and started acting. Song Jia transformed into an office lady and talked in the actor's rest area every day. Song Yi and Chen Kun chose to confirm with Chen Yiming in person.
Chen Yiming was speechless for a moment. He didn't expect Brother Kun to be so sharp. He could think of so many things after just a few days of shooting the scene, but he actually got it right.
The difference is that Song Yi is more timid, and the reason for asking is to relieve herself and strengthen her courage.
But explaining to Brother Kun in this way is really too condescending. It is equivalent to telling Chen Kun that you and I are like Sun Monkey and Tathagata Buddha. There is an arrogance in my bones that cannot be seen in the palm of my hand.
Filmmaking is a team effort, and there is no reason for actors to treat themselves as tools, accompanying the director in social experiments. In the early years, Mao and Gaul's avant-garde directors particularly liked to play this way, and many very bad incidents occurred.
As the topic between the two finally began to deepen, Chen Kun released the "defensive posture" that he had been holding on his shoulders, spread his hands in front of his chest, and beat the rhythm of his words as a "accompaniment".
Although actors do the job of being watched, that is on the big screen.
At this point, Chen Yiming could no longer pretend to be confused. Chen Kun's interpretation hit the nail on the head. Although he spoke calmly and his words were gentle, the meaning inside was extremely sharp.
The result is good now. Director Chen is not in a hurry and allows several main actors to run around in the fog of thinking.
Then Chen Yiming might as well just accept the first explanation. Everyone can finish a popcorn New Year's movie together easily and without any burden. You get the salary, I get the box office, and everyone is happy.
Take the role of the heroine's husband as an example. In Chen Yiming's design, it is true that Chen Kun can play any role, let alone the choice between progressive madness and intermittent madness, even if he plays an otaku outside the space of consciousness, he doesn't look like a real otaku. , it is not a serious problem, nor does it mean that there is a conflict of characters.
Although the actors filming with Director Wang were in agony, they all exclaimed that they were so sweet after the performance. The process of emptying themselves out and then filling them up is something that every aspiring actor dreams of but cannot achieve.
"Based on logic, I personally have two understandings. One is that the highlight of this movie is not the performance. The actors you choose are mainly based on temperament and label. As for the acting skills, we are not bad at all, right?
The second understanding is that the story in your mind, like the future technology in the movie, is based on unpredictable quantum mechanics. Every character is a virtual AI, and their memories can be uploaded and downloaded at any time. It doesn’t matter how they act or even if they are inconsistent, including the few real-world characters who have not yet joined the group. After all, who knows whether the reality in the movie is the final reality in the script? This story could have been endless matryoshka. "
As for the second understanding, it is almost like pointing at Chen Yiming's nose and scolding him. For an actor with faith, if a director says to him, "You can act however you want," it is tantamount to a kind of contempt and insult.
Chen Yiming thought for a long time and decided to be more honest.
"Teacher Chen, if I say it's my second idea so far, would you be able to accept it psychologically?"
Chen Kun smiled sarcastically, "Am I qualified to say I don't accept it? The director has no obligation to explain his ideas to the actors. I personally don't want to be a tool. Unfortunately, after so many years of filming, things often go against my wishes." Chen Yiming didn't expect that he would just Brother Kun, who had an aggressive attitude, turned out to be so "reasonable" after asking for the answer. The turn was so smooth, and his performance was so natural, Chen Yiming didn't even feel like he was being pushed to the waist.
Chen Yiming welcomed the atmosphere of ending the confrontation. He breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Teacher Chen, we have reached a consensus. You don't need to have the idea of a tool man. I prefer to call it, the director gives the actor the ability to Huge creative space.”
Chen Kun suddenly rolled his eyes at him, which stunned Chen Yiming. To be honest, he was extremely charming.
"Director Chen, let's make it a deal. I hope that the acting method I imagined will not cause you any trouble."
Chen Yiming laughed and said, "We have plenty of production time. Compared with me who just sits and watches the show, the key is Lao Pan and Sister Song, who are your co-stars. You have to ask them if they are willing to accompany you."
Chen Kun stood up, waved his hand and said goodbye, walked to the door and turned around and said, "Director Chen, please wait and see."
Good guy, what’s the challenge?
Chen Yiming gave up immediately and put out his no-fight card, "Don't forget that I am the director, the brakes are under my feet."
I don’t know if Chen Kun said anything to the other actors after he returned. The next day the crew boarded the cable car again for reshoots, and Song Jia’s performance suddenly became a lot “wilder”.
This doesn't mean that she acted like a crazy woman, but that her performance style was more aggressive and experimental.
Just like the private rehearsals of a troupe, the style is often more unrestrained than the formal performances on stage.
Riding with the unshakable Lao Pan, the cable car looked a little out of place compared to yesterday.
Chen Yiming stared at the monitor and pulled the film several times, feeling that it was not impossible to add this little bit of incongruity.
However, he still gave his first "performance instruction" after filming started, "Sister Song, please restrain yourself a little and do it again."
Then Chen Yiming saw Song Jia and Song Yi, who were also on the cable car, looking at each other with a smile and a proud look.
Chen Yiming ignored it. Filming in the cable car was very troublesome, and the crew's available shifts were limited. He didn't have the energy to spend on these "intrigues."
Two days later, all the close-ups and close-ups of the cable car, yacht, and bridge were completed, and the crew went to Baixiangju to shoot the last location scene in Yucheng, Parkour.
The main actors, except Lao Pan, can take a temporary vacation. The two Kung Fu masters Wu Yue and Zhou Zhaolong who joined the cast in the middle will be the protagonists next.
Regarding how the action scenes were filmed, Brother Long made a long documentary in his previous life, and Chen Yiming has watched it several times.
To sum it up, it can be summed up in two words: broken and deceitful.
A fight scene of just one minute may be broken into thirty or fifty shots, and they are shot one by one and then strung together.
At the same time, visual deception is also very important. Most of the cool shots are with special effects, as long as the position of the viewfinder is just right.
The parkour scene between Wu Yue and Aaron was like this. Chen Yiming's original storyboard was about forty or fifty pages long, but it was in the style of a comic. It told director Xie Tianfang what kind of effect he wanted.
After Mr. Xie gets the storyboard, he has to further turn it into a practical shooting script. Strengthen the parts that can be added, find replacements for the parts that cannot be done, and then split the entire modified script into one A specific shot.
At this time, the storyboard has become "fat" several times.
For example, the common shot in parkour of jumping out of a balcony with your hands on your hands can be done in two shots in "Violent Street", one inside the balcony and one outside the balcony, with a break in the middle for protection.
In "The Thirteenth Floor", two shots are not enough, because when the actor is in the air, there is a step of using the void. Visually, the actor jumps from the first floor, sets up in the void on the 1th floor, and then turns to jump into the next door. 13nd floor.
During this process, the running to the balcony on the 1st floor was a real shot. From jumping out, setting up and then jumping in, this process was set up in the studio, and finally the chase that started on the 22nd floor was turned into a real shot.
In addition, there are two people chasing each other, and their routes do not overlap, which further increases the number of shots.
This is just the chase part where the two martial arts actors are responsible. The male protagonist Pan Yueming also has a "little test of his skills". In addition, there are several group performers who are responsible for the atmosphere team to respond. The whole part is extremely cumbersome to shoot.
