Chapter 64 Shen Fang's works, going to Europe?
Works by Shen Fang.
As soon as the movie opened, Chen Musheng's eyes lit up.
It seems that nowadays, mainland movies and Hong Kong movies rarely give subtitles of a certain work at the beginning.
It is common in European and American movies, but those who do this are often famous directors, in order to highlight the personal style of the film and let the director's fans see clearly.
This is my movie.
Shen Fang, he is still a nobody now, is there something wrong with doing this?
When Chen Musheng thought of this, he suddenly wanted to laugh again.
This movie is indeed Shen Fang's work. If he marks it like this and highlights his personal style, it cannot be said that he just doesn't know how to do it.
After "Shen Fang's Works", the movie "Far Cry" really started.
The beach, the mobile phone, "Canon", and then the heroine's face.
Chen Musheng remembered the beginning of the movie script. Although it was not a storyboard script, it was written in this order.
This represents the process of camera movement, and it can actually be seen from this that the director has a certain level of skill.
So far, what surprised Chen Musheng the most was the movie's graphics.
This doesn't feel like a low-budget movie at all.
Especially the lighting of movies.
This is a scene on the beach. It can be seen that the weather is sunny, so the sun will be very strong. If you shoot it directly, the character's face will look dark.
Now, the heroine's face has soft light and shadow, which is far beyond expectations for a low-budget movie.
Chen Musheng didn't know that Shen Fang and the others made their own soft light cloth, bought a large piece of non-woven fabric from a certain factory, and used it to deal with it.
Although there is still a gap between it and a serious soft light cloth, the material is actually similar, and the effect can reach at least 80%.
Just like the coconut shell, it can be considered as using local materials to reduce costs.
The photo of Xiaomi looks pretty good.
However, this is just more than a low-budget movie. Although Chen Musheng was surprised, it was still not enough.
What attracted him most at first was the bizarre plot of the movie. He wanted to know how a new director could tell this story well.
You know, there is a huge difference between a script and a movie.
There are so many good scripts, but they turn out to be a mess.
From the minibus to the boat and then to the island.
As a well-known director, he did not miss the suggestive details.
The infinite symbol ∞ appears more than once. Although it only flashes by, it is definitely an important hint.
After arriving at the scene on the island, Chen Musheng immediately discovered that his camera movements had changed.
Voyeur shots.
When hearing this name, some people will definitely have their imaginations wandering. Indeed, this method of moving the camera is really like peeping.
But in fact, this kind of lens itself is not easy and requires some equipment.
Steadicam.
This is a kind of stabilizer that allows the camera to be fixed on the photographer, so that the photographer can follow the character, which can easily create a voyeuristic feeling.
The first horror film to use this kind of lensing on a large scale was Kubrick's "The Shining"!
In other words, when Chen Musheng sees this "Far Cry", he can't help but think of "The Shining".
Chen Musheng remembers very clearly that the movie "The Shining" contains a lot of psychological cues. Kubrick even went to the advertising agency to learn how to add "psychological cues" to the shots before filming the movie.
Now, the same is true for this "Far Cry"!
The voyeuristic shots after arriving on the island give people the feeling that someone on the island is secretly observing the people who come to the island.
After that, many strange things appeared in the footage.
Why does that key belong to the heroine?
Has she really been to this island before?
How does that food rot so quickly?
And that red-themed oil painting.
These are all hints, for sure!
Until gunfire rang out and a masked guy appeared.
Sure enough, the voyeuristic footage makes sense.
Someone is just spying on them!
Chen Musheng did not expect that this movie would make his heart beat faster after watching it.
Finally, the masked guy holding the shotgun had his mask ripped open with an axe.
The face exactly like the heroine!
The well-known director Chen Musheng couldn't help but take a breath!
…
The eldest brother Long also thought that "Far Cry" was very good, but after all, he is not good at horror movies, let alone such movies with strong psychological implications.
When he first got the script, he asked Chen Musheng to help him read it. Now that the film is complete, it will be better if Jiang Wen is here to help.
Compared to Chen Musheng, Jiang Wen has never read the script of this movie before.
Big brother Long understands that Jiang Wen's current reaction to this movie should be of more reference value.
Therefore, while watching the movie, eldest brother Long paid attention to the changes in Jiang Wen's expression from time to time.
After all, this is not a movie theater. Although the lights are turned off, you can still get a general view.
The transformation of this long face... is wonderful!
Jiang Wen can be sure that the "Canon" at the beginning of the movie was definitely played by Shen Fang.
He really wanted to laugh and couldn't help but recall "The Summer of Kikujiro" played by Shen Fang.
If Kikujiro was going to be sent away at that time, then now, is Shen Fang going to have an infinite funeral? A funeral cycle?
If there was no one else, Jiang Wen would definitely laugh out loud.
Fortunately, Jiang Wen quickly determined that this was a horror movie.
Man-made money kills, this word that Wang Jinsong kept repeating over and over again has the flavor of a horror movie.
After that, many phenomena appeared that were difficult to explain with common sense.
Of course, Jiang Wen did not let go of the theater oil painting.
A lot of evil capitalism...
A smile appeared on his face.
But not long after, Jiang Wen saw the true face of the masked murderer.
Oh My God!
Jiang Wen was really shocked by this shot.
Are there two heroines on this island?
And one of them is a villain?
At this point, Jiang Wen could only think of this.
When following Xiaojie's perspective, she saw the arrival of another ship.
Jiang Wen felt as if something exploded in his head!
More than one group of people?!
He instantly began to recall the previous shots, and naturally thought of those bizarre and difficult-to-explain situations.
If it is said that it is the bad heroine who is peeping in the secret, then is it not just the heroine who wants to kill someone?
Moreover, why does the heroine want to kill them all?
These questions are too difficult.
Jiang Wen had never read the script, and he was really shocked by the fantastic ideas in this movie.
In the movie, another group of people come to the island, and the heroine wants to save them.
However, it soon became apparent that this was not possible.
Especially when the heroine saw the previous scene again, she killed herself.
How many heroines are there on this island?
But this is not enough.
The heroine found a place where there were shotguns, overalls, and hoods.
There is another person.
That tall, thin, ugly man hanged himself here.
When the heroine saw his body, she squatted down with her head in her hands and burst into tears.
What should she do?
But then, another shocking scene appeared.
The heroine still wanted to save people, but unfortunately, her wish was not granted.
However, many phenomena that were previously unexplainable have been explained.
And until the heroine saw Fang Li's death.
Fang Li, this tall beauty, did not die in the theater like last time. She struggled and crawled towards a pile of corpses.
These corpses are hers!
Each one of them is similar, but the position of death is slightly different.
Fang Li was very beautiful, but when she died covered in blood, she died together with many others who were exactly the same as her.
This picture is simply mind-numbing!
But is this over?
The heroine returned to the place with the shotgun again.
Obviously, she already wanted to take up arms, plan to kill everyone, and then go back.
But at this time, the heroine Xiaojie discovered something different from last time.
One more person to hang!
The tall and thin Che Baoluo didn't even have a name in the movie, but now, there are two of him on the movie screen.
No, this is not over yet.
When Xiaojie changed her perspective, she realized that she had been careless.
There are a lot of tall, thin guys hanging here!
Originally, this man's face was already very strange, but now there are so many of him, exactly the same, hanging together...
Jiang Wen dared to say that he was heartbroken after seeing this scene, and the people who caused the trouble were gone!
After seeing such a scene, the heroine Xiaojie did not cry.
He covered his face, put on his overalls, and picked up the shotgun.
In this way, she became a murderer.
What follows is a lot of killing!
But in the end, like many others before her, she was knocked off the cliff with her own ax and fell into the sea.
The screen goes dark and waits for it to light up again.
Xiaojie was on the beach, and her cell phone was ringing.
I saw her just hang up and walk away.
She came to a very familiar place, and she picked up a brick on the road, and there was a person talking on the phone.
"Medical expenses? How can I have them?"
"I can't help it, Mom and Dad, don't force me!"
Suddenly, Xiaojie went up and knocked the man down with a brick, then rode up and continued to output.
When the man stopped moving, she stopped.
When the camera turned to her, this person looked exactly like her.
Xiaojie picked up the phone and called.
"Mom and Dad, don't worry, I will find a way to take care of the money."
With that said, she left here and walked and walked.
A minivan stopped beside her.
"Hey! Xiaojie, what's wrong with you?"
"No, I have nothing."
"Hurry up and get in the car! Let's have a lot of fun today."
The camera stopped here, on Xiaojie's face.
His expression was extremely complicated.
The movie ends here.
Xiaojie did not give a definite answer as to whether she got in the car or not.
Although, Jiang Wen felt that she would definitely get on the bus.
So, this movie...
When the lights in this room turned on, they could see expressions of surprise, shock, relief, etc. on each other's faces.
The eldest brother Long smiled, "This movie..."
Before he could finish speaking, Chen Musheng said something.
"Would you like to watch it again?"
As soon as this proposal came out, it received unanimous approval.
…
Reception room.
Lu Yang no longer knew which cup of coffee he had drank. Fortunately, he remembered how many times he went to the toilet.
Probably 5 trips.
There was a rumbling sound. Shen Fang didn't drink that much coffee, but his stomach didn't feel good either.
The two looked at each other and smiled.
"Let's talk."
"good."
"What's going on with that oil painting? Do you want to imply that the protagonist and his group are trapped in the whirlpool of capital and unable to extricate themselves?"
"Maybe."
"Shen Fang, you and I should stop hiding each other and tell the truth."
"I just think that putting that painting there will have a good effect."
"What effect?"
"Director Lu Yang, if you ask this now, this is the result I want."
Hearing this, Lu Yang thought about it for a while, and then burst into laughter.
Shen Fang does not deny that the oil painting is a 'hint', just like "The Shining", which will definitely trigger the movie audience's thinking.
Kubrick fans have made countless interpretations of this film, some of which are reliable and some of which are not.
For example, I saw jars with Indian heads printed on them in the storage room.
Movie fans felt that this was Kubrick's allusion to the massacre of Indians in the Beautiful Country.
Shen Fang did buy this oil painting on purpose, and it was indeed included in the movie on purpose.
What he originally thought was, corresponding to the protagonist group's purpose of landing on the island, 1 million.
And after the film is completed, when he sees this hint, he will think a lot, and even can't help but think of the teacher.
It doesn't matter what the audience will think, the important thing is to make the audience think.
that's enough.
Looking at Lu Yang's appearance, it turns out that being a 'riddler' is so fun.
"Shen Fang!"
Finally, after waiting for more than three hours, Big Brother Long, Jiang Wen and the others appeared.
This movie is one and a half hours long. They won't watch it twice, right?
Just as he was thinking about it, Marco Muller took Shen Fang's hand.
"Because of this movie, do you want to go to Europe?"
He has an excited face and an authentic Northeastern accent.
Chapter completed!
