I didn't want to be an actor

Well, okay…

The Climbers uses the great event of climbing Mount Everest to tell a bunch of little love stories of little people.

The main theme can of course be love, and the love of the main theme can also be very touching.

In The Outer World, Lu Guangda and Wang Ruhui, a pair of lovers who know each other and accompany each other, have a very contagious feeling after going through many tests. This contagious feeling comes from the true expression under the heavy history, which is far beyond the foolish dream of vulgar romance dramas.

When Lu Guangda called Wang Ruhui's name, Wang Ruhui was still as real as a child. The sentence "The coffee fell into the water" was simple and pure, with a little frustration and a little self-blame, as if all the emotions broke out at this moment, like a heavy rain, surging.

Many times, the main theme will have love, hate, and hatred, which is normal, but the main theme is the main theme, and it cannot cross the line or become the host.

The Climbers…

Alas, there is no comparison!

I heard that after reading the script, Wu Jing asked to change his and Zhang Ziyi's characters to former husband and wife, and remove all the love scenes between the two. He is very sensitive to the market. He used his "martial arts background, not good at literary drama" as the reason for proposing the change, which also took care of everyone's face...

Unfortunately, "The Climbers" is not his play!

However, we should thank "The Climbers" for its trial and error...

It let many veteran filmmakers know that the love element is not suitable for many movies...

If not, I guess "Changjin Lake" would also have to add love!

——When the red scarf appeared in "Changjin Lake", my soles were tightened, for fear of a love story. I was so nervous that I could only breathe a sigh of relief after watching it...

I heard that the red scarf written by Lan Xiaolong was to express the people's support for the army. The people at the station threw all the warm clothes on their bodies into the car. The cotton clothes given by the masses were shared by the three people. Small items such as scarves were only given to one person. It was amazing that they were filmed so ambiguous...

I don't know which director wrote it!

It's already very good, at least his son was not arranged to play Wu Wanli...

As for the emotional drama in "Underground Fire", it was actually to extend the length. After all, according to the script, this movie is made like this, including the opening and ending credits, and it is at most 110 minutes.

If there is a 20-minute emotional drama, it will be 130 minutes!

It's perfect.

……

The five main actors, Shen Liang, Huang Xuan, Chen Daoming, Yu Hewei and Wang Jingchun...

Popularity + strength, a perfect combination!

However, when Shen Liang saw Yu and Wei for the first time, he almost didn't recognize them...

He deliberately did a tan!

Because the mine manager he played was in the mine all year round, in order to highlight the character, he had to be a little darker...

Although Yu and Wei were not very white, in order to be more concrete...

"Underground Fire" did not have any opening ceremony. Shen Liang arrived in Taiyuan the next day and started shooting directly!

The first shot was Liu Xin, played by Shen Liang, returning to the mine from abroad...

Liu Xin obeyed his father's will and never went down the mine.

But, he has already graduated with a doctorate and worked at the National Coal Design Institute, and he always has a knot in his heart.

He wants to change the working environment of miners, and he wants miners to mine under the blue sky!

At that time, the gasification coal technology was still in the exploratory stage, and Liu Xin took a different approach to boldly experiment.

He came back this time to do experiments!

The original book says: Some high-rise buildings were built on the mine, and there were more restaurants and shops on the roadside, but everything was shrouded in a gray recession. He found Li Minsheng and told him his requirements...

The shooting doesn't have to be like this.

Li Minsheng came to pick him up on behalf of the Mining Bureau.

"I feel that this car doesn't fit in here!"

"... The Mining Bureau is now very inefficient and hasn't paid salaries for almost half a year..."

"With the Daqin Railway, the country has restricted coal production in the past two years, but it still hasn't improved?"

"It improved for a while, but then it got worse again. This industry is like this. I don't think anyone can do anything about it."

Liu Xin was silent for a while, then said, "Do me a favor."

"... Ten years ago in the No. 1 Middle School in the city, you couldn't even get enough food, and you refused to take the meal tickets we secretly put in your schoolbag. Now, what do you want me to do for you? If I'm not mistaken, the suit you're wearing can probably buy a house here!"

"No, I need to find a small coal seam underground, very small, with a reserve of no more than 30,000 tons. The key is that this coal seam should be as isolated as possible, The less contact with other coal seams, the better. "

"What are you going to do?"

"Can you find it?"

"This... should be fine."

"I need detailed geological information about this coal seam and its surroundings, the more detailed the better."

"That's fine too."

"Then let's talk about it in detail tonight." Liu Xin finished speaking, Li Minsheng turned his head, and Liu Xin asked, "Don't you want to know what I'm going to do?"

"I'm only interested in my own survival now... What you want to do is your business!"

Hearing this, Shen Liang shut up, and looked through the car window at the city he had left for ten years...

"Ka!"

Shen Liang and Huang Xuan got out of the car quickly: "How is it? Director?"

"...Xuan, your expression should be a little colder..."

"OK!"

"One more time..."

...

Lu Yang is very efficient in making movies!

This is also one of the reasons why Shen Liang found him.

"The Blade of the Assassin" took less than two months to shoot, and "The Blade of the Assassin 2" took 87 days...

He is the kind of director whose upper limit is not high, but whose lower limit is not low...

The advantages are obvious: the control of many scenes is very precise, and the film aesthetics is very good. The character modeling and scene design of "Embroidered Spring Blade" and "Assassination of Novelist" are full of oriental aesthetics~

The disadvantages are more obvious: not very good at adjusting actors, so Yang Mi in "Embroidered Spring Blade 2" was ridiculed by the crowd;

Another fatal point: not very good at mobilizing emotions!

Take "Assassination of Novelist" as an example. I know you want to be sentimental in the scene between Lu Kongwen (Dong Zijian) and Pan Ruo (Tong Yali). The sister used her life to protect the brother...

But the sister used her life to exchange for your chance to escape, so you didn't run?

If Shen Liang made this play, divided it into two parts, the first part would simply delete all the real parts and only keep the fantasy world, and then end with Guan Ning finding Lu Kongwen, and the second part would do the real assassination...

"Underground Fire", the eight-month preparatory work, although Shen Liang did not participate, but gave a lot of opinions.

The most is the rhythm of the movie and the sentimentality at the end...

However, "Underground Fire" is supported by Liu Cixin's original work, so it won't go wrong.

At least it won't go off track!

Shen Liang devoted himself to the film, and most of the scenes were shot in one take.

On October 24, about 20 days after the start of filming, "Underground Fire" reached the disaster part...

Liu Xin's experiment went out of control, and the large coal seam caught fire!

Jiang Qiming, who played Shen Liang's assistant, pushed his glasses: "It's not our experiment, it has nothing to do with us!"

"It has nothing to do with us? Really? Are you sure?"

"... I'm not sure either..."

It is true. The one thousand meter soil and rock belt between the burning large coal seam and the test coal seam is intact. The underground fire was burned on both sides of this thousand-meter isolation belt...

From the current situation, the fire in the large coal seam has nothing to do with the test coal seam.

But this is just a consolation, and even the person who put forward this opinion himself does not believe this statement.

Without the experiment, how could the large coal seam catch fire for no reason?
