The filming progress of "Dark War" was actually a bit bumpy at the beginning.
No actor is that amazing. He may have particularly good acting skills, but he also needs to look at the director.
The previous scene was mainly about the actors and the director observing each other.
Actors need to know the style and level of interpretation required by the director.
The same director also needs to see if the actor's performance feels right. When the two reach a balance point, the actor knows the effect of the performance required by the director, and the director knows the style and characteristics of the character performed by the actor.
Because acting skills are difficult to quantify, and it is difficult to have a clear standard. Different actors will have completely different effects, feelings, styles, etc. from their performances.
The director needs to observe during the filming process and discover what kind of effect he wants the actors to perform.
Actors also need to understand what kind of acting skills the director needs to demonstrate.
Actors have their own understanding of the role, and the director also has his own requirements and understanding. Both parties must reach an agreement, so that when filming and performing, they can get twice the result with half the effort.
Training actors' acting skills is also part of the director's job. Of course, some directors are very good at this kind of work and are very dedicated. Sometimes they can stay up all night to guide actresses' acting skills.
Li Yi is not particularly good at this, but for veteran actors, they do not need "guidance" from directors. Generally speaking, this is why most directors like to cooperate with real acting schools.
Because at this time, the director is making choices, not directing!
This is why Li Yi usually doesn't like to use new actors who have no acting foundation.
Because that's too tiring.
The shooting of "Dark War" was done in an orderly manner. It seemed that the shooting speed was not fast, but because everyone began to get into a good mood and reached a tacit understanding, the shooting progress was very smooth.
The shooting time of a movie often has a lot to do with the plot.
Some movies take a long time to shoot, not because the plot is complicated, but because the movie scenes, props, actions, etc. need time to prepare.
What is the most played scene in "Dark War"?
The answer is, cars!
It can be said that the scene in the car in "Dark War" is the real essence of the movie.
Three of the most crucial showdowns in the movie took place in a car!
And similarly, the most beautiful and talked-about love in the movie, which is not even considered love, the most romantic encounter, also happened in the car.
Li Yi is looking forward to this scene, and so are Chen Weijie and other crew members.
According to what Chen Weijie said, if it hadn't been for this encounter, he would have thought that Andy Lau and Ho Sang-sang were really passionate about this drama.
Summarize the entire film in one sentence.
"Four weeks, 72 hours, a chess match, an unsuccessful love!"
This is the whole movie. In fact, there are not many love scenes in it, only two, but it can be said that this movie has become a memorable one for countless people.
Today, the crew will film the first "romantic" encounter.
Car scenes are actually not easy to shoot.
Although the real essence happens in the car.
However, the number of props and vehicles that need to be prepared is not just one or two.
Even if there are only a few fleeting shots, it is still needed.
When we watch a movie, what we see is only the edited image, which seems very simple, but in fact, when shooting, it is definitely not that easy.
For example, this "romantic" encounter scene on the bus is actually considered a "big scene" for the entire movie!
The "big show" I refer to here does not mean how big the scene is, but because there are many more actors, vehicles, camera positions, etc. involved in this scene than before.
Passengers on the bus, driver!
Vehicles on the road, drivers, police cars, police officers who stop and search vehicles, etc.
In "Infernal Affairs", the duel scene on the rooftop was actually easier to shoot.
Because this kind of scene does not involve many actors and off-screen factors. As long as the actors perform well, the scene will be easy to shoot.
Even if it is ng, you can shoot again quickly without having to prepare props again.
The only influencing factor is the actor himself.
But the encounter scene on the bus in "Dark War" is not like that. Although the core point is still Chen Weijie and the famous Hong Kong actress Xu Yunhui who plays the heroine, as long as there is a problem in any link, it will lead to NG.
And once this kind of scene is completed, it will be re-shot and the people and cars involved will need to be re-arranged again.
Therefore, this kind of play is the most troublesome.
Of course, during filming, the scenes outside the car and the scenes inside the car will be shot separately and from different camera positions.
Li Yi is not worried about problems with the main actors, because if they don't perform well, they can directly shoot the scenes in the car, and the scenes of the outside environment can be retained.
But if there is a problem with the outside drama, that will be trouble!
So sometimes, environmental background scenes are more difficult to shoot!
So usually this kind of scene is shot separately and then edited.
However, when shooting, they will still shoot together. After all, if they can be shot in the same scene, the effect will definitely be better than the editing effect! The connection will also be more natural.
"Every department is in its place!"
"Camera No. 1 is in place!"
"Camera No. 2 is in place!"
...
"The thirty-third scene of "Dark War", the first scene, the first time! a!"
Li Yi looked at the monitor and saw Chen Weijie sitting in the back seat of the bus wearing sunglasses.
He "looked" out of the car window.
The other plane was intercepted by the police outside.
Chen Weijie stood up, walked to Xu Yunhui and sat down next to him.
Xu Yunhui glanced sideways at Chen Weijie, but suddenly her mouth opened slightly, and the camera showed the gun in Chen Weijie's clothes!
She slowly turned her head.
Li Yi nodded. Li Yi had put a lot of thought into selecting the actor Xu Yunhui.
It can’t be too pretty, but it can’t be unattractive either!
Chen Weijie put his arm around her shoulders.
She has an obvious dodge action!
"It'll be fine if you don't speak!" Chen Weijie put the sunglasses on her!
She reached out and took off one of the earphones she wore on her ears.
Xu Yunhui pursed her lips!
Li Yi was very satisfied. Don't underestimate this subtle movement, because this subtle movement just showed the uneasiness in her heart.
When a girl is treated so intimately by a stranger, although his actions are very gentle, she will still inevitably feel nervous.
Chen Weijie's handsome eyes are filled with calmness and determination!
"Come closer!"
The short words had the power to capture people's attention. She slowly leaned on his shoulder!
The police came and left again!
The bus started to move.
Um, don't get me wrong, actually, there is a trailer towing the bus in front.
Chen Weijie took off the headphones and put them on for her gently!
ps: I thought I had written five chapters, but when I uploaded it, I realized that there were only four chapters. I really didn’t cut corners on purpose!
