Chapter Four Hundred and Ninety-Four: The Three Great Actors Are Playing On The Same Stage?
"Wait a minute, all the assistant directors are going to go down and teach their respective extras how to move, how to act, and what kind of tricks are they going to give me? Do you understand?" Jiang Qinghou was so hot that he almost lost his temper.
It's easy for people to lose their temper when they get hot, not to mention that the profession of directing is inherently stressful.
"Understood." The assistant directors dispersed in a hurry and went to arrange the extras they were responsible for.
This is also where Han Fei's crew is different from many other crews. Many crews seem to think that extras are also actors, and they should have professional qualities if they want to do this. However, in fact, the vast majority of extras have not received professional training.
Ordinary people are just making a living, and they don't even have a script. How do you expect them to perform at their best? Don't make trouble.
Therefore, Han Fei's crew will remove all assistant directors and stage managers for scenes with extras, and one person will manage a group of extras.
, let them teach you step by step. Although the preliminary preparation time is relatively long, it can save a lot of shooting time.
However, most of the crew are unwilling to make preliminary preparations, preferring to spend time on reshoots again and again. When encountering problems, they blame the extras on the extras, saying that the extras are unprofessional, nonsense, and have not learned anything.
How can you be professional if you have been acting?
In this scene, Zhang Mazi was pulling the silver in a carriage and wanted to distribute it all to the people. However, the people were stunned and did not dare to pick it up. Instead, Huang Silang took all the money away in the middle of the night.
Zhang Mazi once again filled the carriage with guns and scattered them on the street. This time, the people did not pick them up during the day, but secretly picked up the guns at night. Huang Silang had people come to collect the guns, but Zhang Mazi shot him to death.
However, when they were asked to rush into the Huang Silang Watchtower, they found that the common people had no intention of charging with them.
This reflects a very realistic and helpless problem. Most ordinary people are relatively passive. It is almost impossible to expect them to follow the revolutionary party to risk their lives while they have food and drink. The ordinary people will have no choice but to survive.
Only then will they rise up to resist.
In addition, there is another question that is also very interesting. When Zhang Mazi gave him money and guns, no common people were willing to risk their lives with him. But when Zhang Mazi killed the fake Huang Silang, the common people turned into a mob and began to rush into the watchtowers to rob them.
Huang Silang's family fortune is also very ironic.
"Hey, this part is over, let's serve food first, rest for two hours, and prepare for the next scene." Jiang Qinghou also breathed a sigh of relief. The biggest headache for any director should be group scenes, because this thing is almost
It's uncontrollable. Sometimes you have bad luck. A very simple scene may go wrong here or there. It's very mysterious.
Fortunately, the filming of these two group scenes went relatively smoothly today.
The summer in Guangdong Province always makes people feel breathless and hot. The extras hid under the shade of the trees and ate lunch in groups.
Han Fei got into the nanny car with Shen Yiming and He Mingyu. Don't pretend to be approachable at this time. The crew is originally a hierarchical place, and different positions mean different treatment.
"Phew, this weather is really hot."
The air conditioner in the car had been turned on in advance. As soon as he entered, he felt much more comfortable. Shen Yiming let out a sigh of relief.
"By the way, this drama should be finished in two months, right?" He Mingyu asked.
Han Fei nodded: "Absolutely. If everything goes well, it will be released during the Lunar New Year this year."
"You guys are really efficient." Shen Yiming remembered that he had made some literary films, and the shooting cycle was often one year, but nothing was filmed yet. It was basically all kinds of trial and error. Sometimes the director didn't even have a script. Just let people act there.
Of course, literary and artistic films are all about feelings, and this shooting method cannot be said to be wrong. However, in terms of rigor and industrialization, it is really incomparable with commercial films.
After a two-hour break, the studio became lively again. In this scene, Zhang Mazi dragged the fake Huang Shilang to the high platform and chopped off his head with a knife.
Then, the common people rushed into Huang Silang's bunker with guns and looted the place, leaving not even a chair to sit on.
In order to better collect the sound on the scene, Jiang Qinghou uses chess pieces of different colors to direct the scene. Each deputy director is responsible for a group of extras. They only need to remember who should raise the red flag. I ran. As for how to run and how to move, I have practiced it many times before.
The moment Jiang Qinghou raised the flags of four colors, all the extras began to rush towards Huang Silang's watchtower. Suddenly, one of the extras fell to the ground because he was too excited or tripped.
But the assistant director in charge was very anxious, but he didn't dare to step into the camera until the director shouted "Ka".
However, I never expected that the extra actor got up immediately after falling down. His feet seemed to be sprained and his shoes fell off. He picked up the shoes with one hand and the gun with the other, and limped forward like this. one paragraph.
"Ka" Jiang Qinghou shouted: "Go and see how it is? Send him to the infirmary quickly."
The assistant director quickly helped the person up when he saw it, but what puzzled him was that not only did Jiang Qinghou not get angry this time, but his tone seemed a little happy?
"Old Han, do you think this shot is interesting?" Jiang Qinghou waved to Han Fei.
Han Fei took a look and realized that it was a bit ironic to put the shots together. The crowd had dispersed and only a solitary person was left.
Compared with before, when I was given money and a gun and I didn't dare to resist, the scene at this moment is particularly interesting.
Fortunately, the extra was quite clever. After making the mistake, he didn't feel at a loss, but completed the shot in a leap.
"This kid has some spirituality, maybe he can come out with me." He Mingyu said with a smile.
After asking later, I found out that this guy was still a student at Nanyit University, and he happened to be a local. When he saw the information about recruiting extras, he signed up as soon as possible.
Therefore, this is the fundamental reason why Hong Kong and Taiwan actors have been in decline in recent years. Compared with actors trained through variety shows and small training classes, there is a huge gap between actors from the mainland who have been trained by art school students for four years.
Actors of the older generation can still gain a place by relying on their rich performance experience and personal charm. Young actors from the mainland lag behind Hong Kong and Taiwan in terms of both quality and quantity.
The next scene is also the most important scene at the end of the film. Seeing that the situation is over, Huang Silang can only pretend to be a stand-in, and the military examiner changes from the original weakling and starts to bully Huang Silang.
This is very ironic. In fact, this situation was quite common in the chaotic political environment of the Republic of China. The king's flag was changing on the city wall, and various forces were singing "I am on the stage", so the grass on the wall came into being. They
One second they may have been the evil vested interests of the old society, but they may turn around and become a "revolutionary party". Then when the next force comes on the scene, they will become another face.
Perhaps the only thing that remains unchanged is their attitude towards the common people. No matter how groveling they are in front of those in power, they always have an ugly face in front of the common people.
He Mingyu's acting skills are of course nothing to say. When he was humiliated by the martial arts examiner, he had a fawning smile on his face, but his eyes revealed a sense of contempt and grief.
The appearance of Zhang Mazi scared the martial arts examiner away, and He Mingyu's expression became a little lonely.
Two people who wanted to kill each other actually sat together and smoked cigarettes.
Huang Silang asked in a deep voice: "What are your next plans? Stay in Goose City to replace me?"
Huang Silang was originally a revolutionary party, so he did not believe that Zhang Mazi killed him just for the revolution, because he had experienced all this, and the brave dragon slayer will eventually become an evil dragon one day.
Zhang Mazi just said lightly: "I am not a poultry."
In fact, there is an eagle that appears more than once in the movie. In fact, Zhang Mazi is the eagle. Although the eagle sometimes has to be lower than the chicken, the chicken can never fly as high as the eagle.
"You are a beast." Huang Silang said.
For Huang Silang, anyone who breaks the rules is a beast, and he was once the same. However, in the face of money and desire, he eventually turned into a poultry.
"On the day we entered the city, if I had picked you up in person instead of asking Hu Wan to cause trouble for you, would the outcome have been different?"
It can be seen from this sentence that Huang Silang was confused and regretful at the same time. He still firmly believed that the reason why Zhang Mazi was against him was just a dispute of interests.
However, Zhang Mazi's next move made him even more confused. A common man was holding a box of jewelry. The jewelry fell out on the way. Zhang Mazi stopped the common man, picked up the jewelry on the ground and handed it to him.
Obviously, Zhang Mazi doesn't care about money, so what does he care about?
"Isn't it worthwhile to exchange four of your lives for five generations of my family's fortune?" Huang Silang gritted his teeth.
Zhang Mazi said calmly: "How you settle the accounts is your business. To me, money is money and people are people."
"I gave you the money, I admit it, but why should I give it to them?" This is what Huang Silang cannot understand the most.
In Huang Silang's view, even if he loses, as long as this society is still a cannibalistic society, he will have a chance to make a comeback.
However, Zhang Mazi said: "Tell me, is money more important to me, or are you more important to me?"
"I?"
"Think again."
"It can't be money, right?"
"Think again."
"I'm still important." Huang Silang's mentality was a little unbalanced here. In his opinion, what Zhang Mazi wanted was nothing more than to replace him.
However, Zhang Mazi said meaningfully: "Not having you is very important to me."
In fact, the "you" here refers to the old social interest group represented by Huang Silang. What Zhang Mazi calls "without you" means that he wants to overthrow all the old social interest groups and create a brand new country.
Undoubtedly, these words had a huge impact on Huang Silang. It was these words that made Huang Silang completely give up and finally ended his life in the watchtower.
"Ka, this one has passed."
He Mingyu's scene was finished here, and everyone came forward to congratulate him.
"Hey, is that it? It seems a little bit unsatisfactory." He Mingyu smiled bitterly. When he first accepted this role, he was still thinking whether his audience would not be able to accept the change in acting style. However, after the crew started filming,
There were no such worries immediately.
Because Huang Shilang's character is so charming, for a while he couldn't even tell whether he was in or out of the play.
After seeing off He Mingyu, Han Fei only had the last two scenes left. One was about to start filming. Zhang Mazi was sitting on a chair, and suddenly a "revolutionary" said to him: I'm sorry, this chair belongs to me.
.
Zhang Mazi did not refute, but stood up with a lonely look and gave up his chair to a supporting character whose face was not even clearly photographed. This was undoubtedly a kind of irony.
Later, Lao San and his group pushed their bicycles with Sister Hua and said they were going to the Magic City.
Zhang Mazi said to Sister Hua: "Actually, you look best like this."
As he spoke, he pointed the pistol at Sister Hua in his right hand and pointed at himself with his left hand.
This is also the quality that Zhang Mazi believes a revolutionary needs to have. Aim a pistol at the enemy, aim a pistol at yourself, and always be prepared to sacrifice.
In another scene, Zhang Mazi was riding a horse, looking at the goshawk flying in the sky, and then looking straight, he saw the horse-drawn train again, and on the train were Lao San's gang of brothers and Hua Jie
, at the rear of the train, he also saw a back figure similar to Master Tang.
Obviously, this is also a hint that Lao San and the others have become Master Tang. The transformation of the dragon-slaying hero into an evil dragon did not happen to him. His brothers, comrades who once fought side by side, have become evil dragons.
Zhang Mazi rode his horse on the track with a lonely expression.
"Ka, I declare, let the bullets fly, it's done!" Jiang Qinghou shouted excitedly.
The entire crew began to cheer. Even though many films have been completed, there will be an inexplicable excitement every time the filming is completed. The more difficult the filming, the stronger this excitement will be.
At the wrapping banquet, Han Fei got out early on the pretext of sending He Mingyu back to rest. Jiang Qinghou was miserable. As a director, he often boasted and glared at people in the crew. The brothers usually kept track of the accounts.
Of course, we have to calculate the time with him carefully, as he will definitely not be able to get down unless he is drunk.
The crew did not deliberately conceal the news of the completion of "Let the Bullets Fly", so the media soon found out about the situation. However, what really shocked the fans was not the completion of "Let the Bullets Fly", but the shocking announcement among the cast.
In the pockmarked column, the one written was actually Han Fei.
"Isn't it a mistake?"
This was everyone's first reaction, but it was not true. After verification, it was discovered that it was indeed Han Fei.
"Suddenly I discovered that Han Fei seems to have won the Huabiao Award for Outstanding Actor. In a sense, he is also a best actor. Does it mean that there are three famous best actors in this movie?"
It's true that no one has paid attention to this issue before. After all, Han Fei's other identity is too dazzling, and no one simply classifies him as an actor.
However, according to the unspoken rules of the entertainment industry, the Huabiao Award for Outstanding Actor is indeed considered a Best Actor.
