Another disadvantage is that film is not easy to preserve, and the images on it are quite sensitive. I mentioned raw film before, but now the videos are recorded on cooked film.
The staff has to put the cooked slices into a metal box in a secret bag and seal it with tape. If there is even a little light leaking during this process, all the work done before will be in vain.
It doesn't work without light leakage. Some of the negatives of old photos at home melt away after being stored for a long time. If you ask the elders, they will say that they are damaged by the heat.
Although it is winter, Guangdong Province is still not cool. The crew rented a large refrigerator and put the metal film boxes in the refrigerator to freeze. When the film accumulated to a certain amount, they flew to Yangcheng in their suitcases and found a photofinishing company to have them washed.
Take out the negatives, transfer them to magnets, and then convert them into digital files, then come back with the hard drive to find Jiang Wen.
For Jiang Wen, these are not big things. He just likes "to wait until the last moment to learn the truth."
Everyone in the crew looked at Jiang Wen to see what he was going to say.
He said: "Because I have changed part of the ending, here, I want to give you two a close-up, and also take a picture of Fang Yi's change in expression. This talent matches the ending, right? I won't add some for you."
It’s a play, let the audience remember it from the beginning, and then you’ll be ‘resurrected’ later, won’t it seem sudden?”
What?
The drama between the two big bosses actually ruined my good deeds?
What's wrong with me that I have to go through this?
Hu Min, the actor who plays the role of a fan-selling actor, could only curse inwardly, "That's stupid."
Then he acted honestly. He now knew that his wonderful role was gone, and his words had a suffocating sound effect. Fang Yi grabbed him by the collar and asked him:
"Tell them, how many bowls of noodles did I eat?"
A voice of regret, "Two bowls..."
Jiang Wen shook his head, very dissatisfied, "The emotions are not enough. Fang Yi wants to be decisive. Hu Min, you have to show very complicated emotions. I can't express them...it's the kind of grievance, determination, resentment, madness..."
This is a fan-shaped performance. Can the young actor agree?
He looked left and right at Fang Yi and Jiang Wen's faces, as if he had seen through the future and the present, and his whole person became even more depressed.
Do it all over again.
Still not satisfied.
Jiang Wen asked the two of them to stand forward, and the scene was greatly reduced in an instant: "Take a picture of Fang Yi's profile... Hu Min, you, just show a collar, remember to sound aggrieved, determined, resentful, crazy... be like that
complex.”
I can actually say it again. It turns out that the fan chart formed by the four emotions was not made up by Jiang Wen on the fly.
With her collar held up, Hu Min, who was not tall, felt like she was about to ascend to heaven.
"Tell them, how many bowls of noodles did I eat?"
His voice trembled, and he huddled up, trying his best to change his collar so that he could express his unseen acting skills, "Two bowls~"
Will it work this time?
Jiang Wen nodded and shook his head, patting his thigh. He even got into the monitor to take a look, and asked Zhao Pu about the effect just now. In the end, he was still not satisfied.
He waved his hand and said, "Rest."
Fang Yi apologized to the actor named Hu Min, "I'm sorry, I was filming just now..."
Hu Min smoothed his collar and said confidently, "I know."
——Chen Kun observed the whole process and was extremely confused.
He said to himself: "Fang Yi added a scene? Why did he add a scene? He didn't steal mine, but he got Hu Min's. Oh, there was no extra scene..." He became incoherent, "It was Director Jiang who saw him."
He plays the role and decides on the extra scenes for him."
"Calculating it this way, the two are almost the same. My tension needs to be greater. I can't stand him taking too many shots, so I have to do a close-up from the side."
The manager put his arm around Chen Kun's shoulders and said, "It doesn't matter, I can never threaten you... A close-up from the side is nothing, it's not a close-up, right?"
"Right."
He rested for about ten minutes - I want to criticize Jiang Wen here. The so-called rest was actually that he had a new idea and couldn't turn his mind around for a while. He gave himself a holiday, but he said it was a holiday for Hu Min.
Hu Min doesn't need such a ten-minute holiday.
"Tell them, how many bowls of noodles did I eat?"
The collar was lifted up again, although his legs were almost off the ground. Hu Min stretched forward and swayed back, trying his best to make the collar that was photographed move twice, showing his grievance, determination, resentment, and madness.
"Two bowls~"
The two wanted to talk, but Jiang Wen interrupted directly: "No, change it again."
What to change?
Jiang Wen saw that Fang Yi's performance was very stable every time, and even improved slightly. He said, "Change it to a close-up."
"Fang Yi, if you hold the camera directly, the audience will be outside the camera. Everyone will think that you are asking them that question."
"How many bowls of noodles have you eaten?"
With an order, the staff began to move the cameras and redesign the lighting. Why did Chen Kun think that there would not be many changes to the script? Because film shooting pays great attention to lighting. It needs to be estimated and felt by master craftsmen, rather than with digital.
You can see the effect instantly just like a camera.
If you want to change it, it will be quite troublesome.
But the ginger pattern was still done.
Hu Min touched his collar and said quietly: "Director, what about me?"
"You have to act too, don't think you can escape! I have plans for you."
In his surprised eyes, Jiang Wen shattered his last fantasy, "You don't want to appear in front of the camera anymore, just do the voice-over. Remember: grievance, resolution..."
Before the rest of the words were finished, the dull Hu Min had already memorized them. He continued, "Grieved, determined, resentful, and crazy."
"That's right."
Twenty minutes later.
Fang Yi was still unaffected when filming resumed. The muscles around his eye sockets twitched unnaturally, making his eyes look shocked. The muscles around his cheeks bulged, making him appear determined, because he was acting while holding a camera, and what was reflected there was him.
Instead of looking at Hu Min's really ordinary face, Fang Yi's eyes turned red:
"Tell them, how many bowls of noodles did I eat?"
There must have been some shocked viewers when it was aired. "Let the Bullets Fly" are all men with raging hormones, and a good-looking guy like him is really a breath of fresh air.
Hu Min, who can only speak one voice, can't even see his collar in the mirror now. But he appropriately expresses grievance, determination, resentment, and madness - such complex emotions are actually condensed in his two words:
"Two bowls."
His acting skills exploded, he was almost acting in his true colors.
Jiang Wen didn't look at the monitor at all. Instead, he shouted "Cut" on the spot, and then clapped softly, "Okay!"
Amidst the applause, Chen Kun muttered the phrase "we are equals" and soon joined in the rivalry scene with Fang Yi.
——With Jiang Wen’s small changes now, the fate of the six sons is not much different from the original, with the same stomachache and the same death.
However, the inner motivation is different.
Finally, as someone who can go hand in hand with Zhang Mazi, he is the hope for the future. He is naturally not the fool who sent Hulihu Tu to death. He chose to die because he felt it was necessary.
At the moment when Liu Zi's stomach was opened, the extras in the background had two completely different emotions. This was specially requested by Jiang Wen.
One was on Fang Yi's right, showing a puzzled look: Why do you want to die? It's just a bowl of noodles, how could anyone die for the innocence of a bowl of noodles?
The one on the left is smiling. Breaking his belly is a pleasure and fun for him.
In fact, during the entire process of proving one's innocence, the crowd opened their eyes slightly and sat like programmed NPCs. When did they start to move? Even at the moment when their stomachs were broken, they all stood up and were shocked.
I started thinking, this person is so strange?
Tan Sitong may be able to answer this question. He was arrested for participating in the reform activities. Before his execution, his friends advised him to escape, but he said: "Reforms in various countries are all caused by bloodshed. I have never heard of anyone who shed blood due to reforms in China today. Please follow suit."
beginning!"
Lu Xun's essay "Medicine" also talks about a similar thing. In order to save the people, Xia Yu, an idealist, did not hesitate to be guillotined. However, the people watched Xia Yu's beheading as if they were watching a sideshow, and some people were looking forward to using his blood for treatment.
tuberculosis.
One Liuzi may not be enough, but the facts ultimately prove that if there are enough Liuzi, the awakened person will really be awakened.
Chen Kun's level is also very high. He and Fang Yi both understood this part of the script and did not need Jiang Wen to tell it. As a young man who is a few years older than Liu Zi, was Hu Wan once also a Liu Zi?
Chen Kun's understanding is that this is the greatest tension of his character. Perhaps many years ago, Hu Wan was the sixth son who chose to save his life.
Therefore, Chen Kun chose to take out his handkerchief and shed tears during the next confrontation scene after the extras left the stage, "You were fooled."
These are not crocodile tears, because there are only Hu Wan and Liu Zi in the space at this time, and there is no need for Hu Wan to shed tears for the dying person.
When he shed tears, he shed tears for himself.
Didn't Fang Yi repeatedly chant "Is it a bowl of noodles? Is it a bowl of noodles? Look, is it a bowl of noodles?"
Instead, he bit into the blood bag and smiled with bloodshot eyes, "I know."
After it ended, Jiang Wen was silent for a long time, his lips trembled, and he nodded silently. The crew did not applaud to celebrate, it was quiet.
After the two actors finished the scene, they did not feel secretly proud. Instead, they took a while to get out of their emotions, and they no longer noticed the so-called acting competition.
Chen Kun opened his eyes and saw his manager's face, as if he was in another world. He asked his manager, "Help me see if there are any good places around here. I'll treat Fang Yi to him before he leaves."
The manager didn't know much about acting, so he said happily, "Are you going to apologize for surpassing him?"
"No, I lost."
"Where to lose?"
"When he said 'I know', he was not a fool who was fooled. I was a villain who succumbed to reality. We all add drama to ourselves based on our own understanding. But he did it cleverly."
"In this case, why should I invite you? Shouldn't he invite you?"
Chen Kun rubbed his temples, "I told you, because he is smart."
