Chapter 46 Shooting Process (1) Restraint(1/2)

 "Liu Ying, make the color darker, the atmosphere is not enough!"

"Wen Yishi, please replace the ax in Li Ying's hand with No. 2 and put some blood on it. For this first scene, we will still shoot it like a horror movie."

"Understood!" Wen Yi said, and Liu Ying took action.

The original movie was limited by conditions. Even if the location was not shabby enough, it was a lack of hard conditions.

But for the first thirty minutes of filming, the director completely followed the rhythm of a horror film.

However, maybe it was because he wanted to switch to an inspirational comedy in the later stage, or maybe it was because the director was just a new director, and he didn’t take into account all the details of the horror atmosphere in the early stage.

For example, the color tone, props, and some shots.

This is also the reason why people criticize it for being boring in the early stages.

If from the beginning, the audience is immersed in the movie as a horror film, and later shows the scene within the movie, it will be a double-chef ecstasy.

Of course, he can't really make a horror movie, otherwise it will cause a huge psychological gap among people who are looking forward to horror movies.

Therefore, it is particularly important for actors to show their bad acting skills in movies.

How to make the actors' acting skills be lame but not exaggerated, and how to make the actors' acting skills be terrible but not lose the sense of a movie shot is the most important point of this movie.

"OK!"

When Liu Ying and Wen Yi made gestures, Tang Ze also nodded and said:

"All departments prepare!"

"The actors are in place!"

"First scene, one shot, three times!"

"Start!"

Zhao Liying, who plays Jiang Hua, the heroine of the zombie film, holds a blood-stained ax and seems to have turned into a real zombie when facing the approaching enemies. Wu Tiangu, the hero of the zombie film, played by Huo Jianxi, looks both scared and desperate.<

/p>

"Xiaoguang?"

"It's me!"

Zhao Liying helplessly called Wu Tiangu’s name in the zombie movie.

This actually reveals some information about the play within the play to the audience. Xiaoguang and Wu Tiangu are two names.

"Please, wake up quickly!"

However, Zhao Liying's call was more like a dying struggle. In the end, she could only scream, and her neck was bitten by Huo Jianxi, and her eyes were dull and she lost her spirit.

"Okay, click!"

The director in the movie, Shen Teng, and the director outside the movie, Tang Ze, shouted "Ka" at the same time.

Well... tell the truth.

Now Zhao Liying perfectly fits the personality of an idol actor, and her acting skills naturally show an unqualified temperament without any coaching.

The reason why he stopped was not because Zhao Liying's performance was "not bad enough", but because Huo Jianxi... This was already the third time.

Perhaps it's because Huo Jianlei has a heavy burden as an idol, so the way he plays a zombie is like walking on a T step, and he also has a sense of rhythm.

But real zombies should walk crookedly and irregularly.

And when he finally pounced on Zhao Liying, his head should keep twisting to show the state of eating.

But Huo Jianlei was just moving bit by bit, not nibbling.

Tang Ze said to him: "Jianxi, do you want to act in idol dramas for the rest of your life?"

"This movie does not test acting skills, but everyone knows the plot. Sometimes poor acting is also a kind of acting, but you are not even this kind of crappy."

"Sorry, director, I'll adjust!" Huo Jianlan was very ashamed.

Although he is considered a big name here, he does not dare to act like a big name in front of Tang Ze.

Tang Ze can even be affected by rough movies, let alone a not-so-first-rate actor like him.

Tangze didn't hold on, but just asked: "Zombie walking should be very simple, right? What do you think is your difficulty? Have you never seen a zombie movie?"

In his impression, Huo Jianxi plays mostly facial paralysis roles, but his acting skills are actually pretty good, so there must be some reason that limits him

Huo Jianxiang explained: "Actually, director, I have also watched zombie movies, but you also know that most of my previous roles were idol dramas."

"The so-called idol drama, to put it simply, shows the handsome male protagonist from various perspectives. Many shots are staged and deliberately made. The director sometimes even forces you to stay in a certain posture."

Tangze understood, it meant that he would always subconsciously make some patterns, or fixed and repeated actions.

So how should this be changed? Is it just repeated NG dozens of trials and errors?

He cherishes his time very much, and the first scene is not short, and there are many zombie walking plots later.

At this time, Tang Ze suddenly thought of Linghu Chong played by Huo Jianmei in the 2013 version of "The Swordsman".

I won’t comment on the plot of that TV series, but the unrestrained, unrestrained and free Linghu Chong he played is definitely qualified.

Among the several editions of "The Swordsman" that have been published so far, when he thinks of Linghu Chong, the first thing that comes to his mind is Huo Jianxi's face.

He always felt that that role should be regarded as a more realistic version of Huo Jianxi, because he could play the longing version of himself in it and play Linghu Chong into Huo Jianxi.

From then on, Huo Jianxiang stayed in marriage and never played the kind of free-spirited role again.

Including his most acclaimed work "War on Changsha".

To be honest, in order to fit the role of a historical figure, there is absolutely no room for actors to express themselves.

In this movie, Tang Ze needs Huo Jianxiang to abandon everything and become himself again, becoming an unfettered actor.

Tang Ze said to him: "Have you seen Swordsman?"

"I've seen the TV series!" Huo Jianxi didn't ask any more questions.

"Where's the novel?"

Seeing Huo Jianxiang shaking his head, Tang Ze called Lao Wu and asked him to buy a copy of the "Swordsman" series and have it delivered.

After the errand boy arrived, Tang Ze handed the book to him: "Find some time to read it and see how you feel. We will reshoot the scene of you as a zombie later."

"Of course, you have to practice on your own in private. You need to completely smash the past and rebuild a true self. I think your life is too restricted."

"Understood!" Huo Jianxi's face was very complicated when he said this.

I never expected that the person who could understand me would be a director seven years younger than me.

In fact, before entering the Mainland, he had always been worried about the fact that he had acted in too many idol dramas, and was afraid that he would no longer be able to act if he went to other fields.

At that time, some people ridiculed him for his record of filming 7 idol dramas in one year, and no one would break it in the next 20 years.

That is not an honor for him, it is a curse.

It’s just that he was so eager to become famous that he didn’t plan a good path.

In short, this movie is the key to his transformation, and he must perform it well.

The zombie plot was skipped, and it was Shen Teng's turn to play the role of director Wang Long, teaching Zhao Liying how to show fearful plots.

"You are facing the threat of death. Do you feel fear from the bottom of your heart?"

Zhao Liying replied: "Yes, I worked hard to act..."

Shen Teng immediately followed her words: "If you act, it will look fake."

Here, Shen Teng is not the comedy star he will be in the future, so he can still be serious when he should be serious, but the traces of his performance are indeed very heavy.

Then Shen Teng turned from serious to angry, suddenly threw the storyboard on the ground, and shouted: "I want real fear..."

"Ka! Do it again!" Tang Ze shouted to stop, "Shen Teng, you are not angry enough, you have to roar until your face is red and your neck is thick."

"Okay, I'll do it again!"

When he tried it again, Tang Zefu shouted "Ka" again, but he still failed.

Click!

Click!

Click!

After five consecutive NG attempts, Shen Teng himself became anxious.

Will he be temporarily skipped from his role like Huo Jianxi?

Tangze also frowned.

Maybe Shen Teng’s comedy element is too strong, and it always seems like he’s having fun instead of getting mad.

The scene here is actually a confession by the director about his past life. Even if it is a bad movie, he still wants to make it well.

Therefore, the reason for being so angry is not only the anger at the actors for not meeting the requirements, but also the disgust at having accomplished nothing.

That's real anger. You don't have to worry about the traces of performance in the previous sermon, but the expression of anger must be completely natural.
To be continued...
