This director needs to apologize

Chapter 95: Nervous and prepared for a rainy day
The script has been read at 6:[-] pm, and judging from the speed, the second half has obviously slowed down.

The main reason was that Duan Yining was off the assembly line at the speed of light, and the last two scenes that required Liu Dongjun to take the lead were indeed a bit difficult for him.

The first is the sacrifice scene of the staff officer, who is brutally beaten by his master.

Duan Yining went "crazy" regardless of the occasion. With a room full of people watching and waiting in the conference room, he could still stop frequently and correct Liu Dongjun's performance problems without any pressure.

Xiao Liu's rhythm was messed up, and he could hardly speak a line in full. Coupled with the gazes of a room full of people, he was able to stumble through the entire scene, which can be regarded as a big nerve.

Then, as soon as he escaped from the big devil master, he bumped into Shi Lei, who had been sitting there all afternoon.

At this moment, Mu Xiaolin had just experienced the sacrifice of "Brother Qin" and his narrow escape from the "poison gas (actually a tear gas bomb, but a bastard couldn't tell the difference) area", and was at the most vulnerable time in his soul.

When he struggled to find the entrance to the tunnel and finally arrived at the mission destination, the tragic scene in the tunnel instantly broke his psychological threshold.

To put it simply, the superposition of emotions reached a critical point, which directly broke his defense.

In the written script, Chen Yiming described in detail the state he wanted the actors to present, and also analyzed in detail what he believed to be the logic of emotional changes.

But after all, that is just what the director and screenwriter said on paper, and it is also Chen Yiming's subjective idea. It does not mean that Liu Dongjun can follow the gourd's example and perform it well.

Not to mention Liu Dongjun, even the co-star Shi Lei and Master Liu Lao Duan had completely different understandings and handling of this scene, and no one could convince the other.

Chen Yiming has seen the original material of the documentary team. When the actors and actresses rehearsed this scene, it was like a crazy dance. They basically had a few addictions, and they called it a demonstration for Liu Dongjun.

Some cried bitterly, some howled silently, some were stuck in the ground, and some shed tears silently. Each has its own internal understanding and external expression.

It seems a little difficult for Chen Yiming to choose, after all, they are all good performances.

It is conceivable how confused Liu Dongjun's thoughts must be. He has never studied acting for a day and is at most a drama fanatic.

Today's script reading is the first public test of Xiao Liu's learning achievements.

The person who acted for him was his cousin Yu Hanwen.

However, Yu Hanwen did not have any lines in this scene, he just watched the whole scene with a blank face, so it was essentially a one-man show by Xiao Liu.

It was also the first important scene he showed to the audience as the protagonist of "1951", the first name in the cast.

The round-up is only about reading lines, and there is no requirement to perform without lines, so Mu Xiaolin's emotional portrayal and the expression interaction of the warrior played by Yu Hanwen are skipped.

Instead, he started directly from Mu Xiaolin's inquiry.

"Brother, we evacuated, what will they do?"

The master Duan Yining is not in vain. Liu Dongjun's first line, with a hoarse vibrato and the dryness of his saliva being squeezed out, can already convey three emotions: "horror, heartache, and anger."

Although it's not very smooth, it's the first time I can see my skills.

Liu Dongjun pondered his emotions for a long time before speaking, and obviously made a complete logical construction in his heart.

After a while, Liu Dongjun spoke again, "I brought biscuits, do you want to eat them?"

Then he added, "My mouth is dry after eating this. I have water here."

Liu Dongjun swiped his right hand behind his back, and then dropped his hand again as if he suddenly thought of something.

"I forgot, the water has already leaked out."

After sitting all afternoon, Yu Hanwen finally said his first line and the only line in the whole play.

"Climb forward here. There is only one path. When you see the light, you will arrive. I will send you here.

I will listen to the instructor whether to withdraw or not. "

Chen Yiming nodded slightly when he heard this, feeling the thirst of the frosted metal. Yu Hanwen also worked hard in private.

Next is the last highlight, Shi Lei's appearance.

As a front-line commander, he refused the order to evacuate immediately, mobilized the soldiers to use the favorable conditions of artillery cover to launch a counterattack, destroyed the enemy's will to fight in one fell swoop, and held on until completely dark before retreating successfully.

Mu Xiaolin was inspired by this and volunteered to participate in the battle.

This bridge section is "borrowed" from "Li Yannian, a Literary and Martial Arts Man".

At the end of "Li Yannian", our army has defended until it ran out of ammunition and food, and the commander mobilized the soldiers to charge bravely.

In Chen Yiming's view, this arrangement is somewhat suspicious of "creating a high dynasty for the purpose of forcible sublimation."No matter how it is deduced, the remnants of our army in "Li Yannian" should try their best to drag out the battle until dark to wait for follow-up reinforcements to arrive to protect the position, instead of charging in reverse and sending away the people and the position together.

Of course, the reinforcements from our army in "Li Yannian" arrived "in time", so this counterattack turned into a real charge.

From the perspective of the audience, the ending of the counterattack is indeed more proactive than the ending of being rescued, and the protagonist suddenly becomes a lot taller.

Chen Yiming basically "moved" the charge sequence of "Li Yannian" intact, but made some "magic changes" to the inner character motivations.

The Tianma Mountain position is also in a desperate situation. Instructor Jin, played by Shi Lei, also maintains a tenacious will to fight and tries his best to explore all the favorable factors within.

A major premise is that Deputy Instructor Jin does not have a God's perspective. For him, holding on until dark the next day is an order from his superiors.

An order is an order. As long as he has not sacrificed his life and there are still our soldiers on the battlefield, the order that must be adhered to must be resolutely implemented.

Even after receiving the retreat order from the regiment commander, Deputy Commander Jin still did not give up his responsibilities. As long as the company he commanded was still on the position, he had the obligation to prevent any soldier from the coalition from setting foot on the main position of Tianma Mountain.

He organized a countercharge with a precondition, which was that he had just learned that at 6:45 before dark, he would receive a round of artillery support.

The original intention of the regiment commander was to block the enemy's pursuit and positioning through rapid artillery fire, and to cover the retreat of the Tianma Mountain defenders.

Deputy Commander Jin took advantage of the local conditions and decided to use this "long-lost" artillery support to decisively launch a counterattack, disrupting the enemy's offensive rhythm, frustrating the enemy's will to fight, and laying a solid foundation for the enemy's front line. Retreat to gain a more proactive posture.

This is also the thinking habit of our army. You fight against those who fight, and I fight against mine. Even if it is positional defense, we must strive to take the initiative and put ourselves first.

Therefore, Jin Fuzhi's pre-war mobilization must follow the above-mentioned thinking process, explain the information clearly, explain the reasons, and make the truth clear.

In this way, the soldiers' brave counterattack in desperate situations will have enough support and will not be misunderstood as "fighting against the enemy."

In other words, the actual audience for Jin Fuzhi's mobilization in front of the station was not limited to the soldiers on the battlefield, but also included the broad audience outside the camera.

Regarding the arrangement of this scene, Shi Lei has expressed his appreciation for Chen Yiming more than once. The reason lies in the script's delicate handling of the character's motivations.

Movies that are willing to portray the image of an instructor as comprehensively and believably as Chen Yiming do are really rare.

However, Chen Yiming only felt that he deserved it. After all, he failed to implement "realism" to the end.

The real war history experienced by Li Yucheng and his comrades was even more cruel and tragic, but for obvious reasons, it was not suitable to be copied directly into the movie.

……

Jin Fuzhi's pre-war mobilization, a long line of lines was completely unscripted, and was performed by Shi Lei with great appeal.

After the performance, the entire conference room burst into applause, and Shi Lei stood up and thanked him profusely.

Chen Yiming smiled and joked, "Teacher Shi, you can accept this applause calmly. You said this paragraph in one breath and was impeccable. You didn't give the old man a chance to find trouble, so that everyone can stop work and go to dinner."

Duan Yining immediately counterattacked, "According to your theory, you should applaud me again. No matter how good Shi Laosi's performance is, I have to be magnanimous, right?"

Lin Xiao immediately clapped his hands and gave a very perfunctory chirp, and said without mercy, "Okay, after the drums are over, you can shut up, old Duan. Hurry up and eat. I've been starving to death after sitting here all afternoon."

Chen Yiming announced loudly, "Let's all go to the cafeteria. Producer Ma is treating us today. The mutton pot is ready. The prairie sheep specially brought from Inner Mongolia are really must-try."

The bored people behind the scenes burst into cheers and praised Ma Yunteng to the sky.

Everyone rushed to the cafeteria in a noisy manner. Da Zhuang leaned close to Chen Yiming and asked in a low voice, "Didn't you set it up? Why did you put it on me? It's useless for me to ask for their gratitude."

Chen Yiming covered his mouth and chuckled and replied, "This movie is not easy to shoot. When the time comes, you will inevitably come out and make a fool of yourself. It will probably offend many people, so I will save you some character first."

Da Zhuang didn't feel dissatisfied, "I don't know how to make movies, so I can help you with this kind of help. But is it really that difficult? I sat and watched it all afternoon and thought the acting was pretty good. Just listening to I quite took on the lines."

Chen Yiming didn't explain it either. Hearing is false and seeing is believing. He will know when the time comes.

"You should pay more attention to Paul and his assistants, their daily living conditions, food, clothing, housing and transportation, as well as the demands they put forward, and do your best to meet their needs. They were very tired during the filming of this scene.

In addition, I told Sister Shen that the Steadicam photographer who was available at Nuts was also asking about it, and we must have a spare tire on hand. "

Ma Yunteng was quite surprised, "Are you planning for a rainy day a little bit too much?"

Chen Yiming complained, "If you don't know how to use idioms, don't pretend to be a cultured person. Is this how you use unfounded worries? I don't think about it anymore. What if someone really gives up the choice when things happen? Are you going to carry the machine? Do you know how? Anyway, I don't meeting."

Da Zhuang was so rebuffed that he backed away repeatedly, "Goodbye, Mr. Zhu! I'll do it tomorrow, that's all."
