Chapter 0120 Find the core
Wei Xiao just told him about point a and took him there, which is at the foot of the mountain next to this section of railway track.
After hearing what Director Jiang Wen said, Xu Hengzhou walked to point A, stood still, and waited for the filming to start.
While waiting, go through the picture in your mind.
I’m thinking about lying down on the railway track to listen to the sound later. How should I listen? Should I face the camera directly or with my back to the camera?
What is the sound that I heard?
The answer to the latter question was what Wei Xiao had just said. What he heard here was the sound of the train pressing against the rails.
Xu Hengzhou felt that Director Jiang Wen's minutes passed so quickly. He felt that one second he was telling him to go to point A, and the next second he was shouting "Start filming" through the loudspeaker.
When he heard "shooting started", he immediately ran towards the track. When he got to the edge of the track, he lay down on the ground, put his ear close to the track, and looked at the camera with his eyebrows moving. This was like listening to the sound of the train.
Then I heard Director Jiang Wen yelling "Cut" and saying "do it again".
Xu Hengzhou had expected that his shooting this time would not go well, so when he heard what Director Jiang Wen said, he immediately got up from the ground, dusted himself off, and returned to point a.
When the recorder shouted "First shot, second shot begins", I ran towards the railroad track again.
Then he threw himself on the ground again and put his right ear against the railroad track. But this time he did not face the camera directly, but looked towards the north of the avenue first.
I listened for a few seconds, then quickly switched over, put my left ear against the rail again, and listened again.
Only then did his whole face appear in the camera.
After the performance, Director Jiang Wen called out the card again, and then said again: "Let's do it again."
Xu Hengzhou had no idea, so he quickly stood up and headed to point a.
Liu Yiqian was sitting peacefully in the shed at the south corner, but she was worried about Xu Hengzhou in her heart. She couldn't help but drift to the left.
That area was filled with actors.
Because today is the opening ceremony, some important actors in this movie are all present.
And because all the actors knew that the first scene shot today would be the first shot of the entire movie.
All have come.
Everyone followed them to the filming location, intending to see what director Jiang Wen's positioning was for the film and how he wanted to shoot it.
Liu Yiqian saw the group of actors sitting on the left, including two movie kings and a movie queen, all staring at the place where Xu Hengzhou was filming with serious expressions.
This concentration allowed her to feel nervous for Xu Hengzhou.
Of course Xu Hengzhou also felt the attention of the actors.
It was actually fine at first, but when director Jiang Wen called him out on his third performance, the pressure started to mount.
When Director Jiang Wen shouted through the loudspeaker, asking him to shoot for the fourth time, Xu Hengzhou raised his hand, waved at Director Jiang Wen, and shouted back:
"Director Jiang, I want to talk to you about my performance."
Director Jiang Wen was a little surprised to hear what Xu Hengzhou said, but he didn't refuse. He waved and asked him to come over: "Okay, let's pause for ten minutes and then start shooting in ten minutes."
Xu Hengzhou walked up to Director Jiang Wen, glanced around, and met the eyes of several actors.
He could feel the curiosity, interest and consideration in the eyes of these actors, and he only had one thought in his mind -
Can this group of people stop expressing their desire to watch the excitement so openly, and can there be some privacy and respect between people?
Especially Fa Ge, Xu Hengzhou had no idea where Fa Ge was so interested. When he saw that he was coming to talk to Director Jiang Wen, he even moved his chair to find a chair facing him and Director Jiang Wen.
angle.
Xu Hengzhou was thinking this, and his eyes happened to meet Fa Ge's. The actor narrowed his eyes and gave him a smile, which was quite friendly.
Xu Hengzhou had no choice but to smile back, and then asked Director Jiang Wen directly: "What kind of person is Lao Liu?"
Director Jiang Wen said "tsk" and did not say who Lao Liu was. Instead, he suddenly asked Xu Hengzhou: "I don't think I told you the profound connotation of our movie before."
It was also the first time that Xu Hengzhou heard a director praise the movie he made as having profound connotations. He shook his head: "No."
"Oh." Director Jiang Wen showed an expression of sudden realization: "No wonder you couldn't perform what I wanted. Let me tell you."
...When Xu Hengzhou saw Director Jiang Wen's expression, he didn't know why, but he always had the feeling that the other party was an old fox trying to trick him.
Director Jiang Wen didn't realize this at all. He looked annoyed and quickly gave Xu Hengzhou a make-up lesson:
"It's like this. Our movie is marketed as a commercial film, but in essence it's still an artistic film. Every character has a metaphor. My character Zhang Mazi alludes to revolution."
When he said this, he pointed at Zhou Runfa and said, "Huang Silang, played by Brother Fa, talks about oppression."
Zhou Runfa's expression remained unchanged, but there was a rare pressure in his heart.
Because director Jiang Wen had told himself this metaphor before, but that was all.
He did not specify what kind of character Huang Shilang he played.
Even though we have already joined the cast today, director Jiang Wen has not yet given us a finalized script.
When he asked for a script before, Director Jiang Wen gave it to him, but he also made it clear that the script was just a first draft based on "The Thief of Officials" and could only be used as a reference, not the final script.
He looked through the first draft given by director Jiang Wen and felt that it was limited as a reference because the character he wanted to play did not appear in the script at all.
That's why he came to the filming site specifically today to see the first scene to be filmed.
Not only him, but other actors more or less also hold this idea.
So when Director Jiang Wen continued to give Xu Hengzhou extra lessons and said, "Master Tang played by Mr. Ge You is talking about neutral walking," Mr. Ge just nodded slightly and had no idea how his character should walk.
Uncle Ge was actually waiting to hear how Director Jiang Wen would tell Xu Hengzhou the drama.
Jiang Wen finally summed it up in one sentence: "Our entire movie is a three-party brawl."
Then he added:
"Of course, the fourth party is Teacher Liu Jialing's wife of the county magistrate, who represents the power.
The fifth party is Sister Hua played by teacher Zhou Yun, who clicked on the people.
The sixth party is Liu Yiqian’s role, let’s not mention that for now.”
When Liu Yiqian heard Director Jiang Wen mention her, she immediately sat upright.
She remembered what Director Jiang Wen said, if she couldn't play this role well, then there would be no need to mention the sixth party.
The audience won't dig into it at all.
Her role is useless.
There is nothing to say about the heroine.
Thinking of this, her pressure gradually increased.
Director Jiang Wen said this, and immediately asked Xu Hengzhou: "Do you understand?"
Xu Hengzhou looked at Director Jiang Wen's confident "You must understand" expression on his face and had no idea what he should know.
You should tell me what Lao Liu represents.
So the gossip in this world is not very reliable. Doesn’t it mean that although director Jiang Wen is very bossy on the set, he can tell the actors very well and express what he wants clearly?
That's it?
Xu Hengzhou shamelessly asked: "What does Lao Liu represent? Director Jiang, what kind of role do you want?"
Director Jiang Wen shook his head:
"I hired actors with their own acting styles for this movie, just to see if everyone can work together to create something different.
I say this to all actors, only give the core points, and the rest depends on how you give it to me.
Just ask teachers Ge You, Fa Ge, Liu Jialing and others. With the core points as support, the characters are already in their hearts.
Xiao Xu, think about it again. This is a rare opportunity. Two movie kings and a movie queen are gathered here. You can just ask for advice.
I'll give you ten more minutes."
As he said this, he lit a cigarette for himself and ran away: "I'll go smoke next to it."
Xu Hengzhou silently stared at Director Jiang Wen's retreating back, then turned his eyes to meet Teacher Ge You.
Teacher Ge You glanced at Xu Hengzhou and said, "According to what Director Jiang said, this movie only has so many dimensions. Think about what the core of Lao Liu is."
this……
That makes sense!
The range of answers is circled here, please choose one of six.
What is the core of Laoliu?
If I have to say it, Lao Liu firmly followed the role of Zhang Mazi.
The core of Lao Liu should also be revolutionary...
Combined with what Wei Xiao said before...
Xu Hengzhou felt like he knew something.
Next, other actors headed by Fa Ge also gave Xu Hengzhou some suggestions.
When it came to Liu Yiqian, she still hadn't figured out what she wanted.
However, she had done some research on her role before and thought about one point.
The character she plays in this movie can be said to be very young. According to director Jiang Wen's sense of metaphor everywhere, this young age arrangement must also be taken into consideration in the performance.
She thought for a moment and gave Xu Hengzhou a suggestion: "Lao Liu is a very young character in the whole movie. I think you can start from this aspect."
Yes!
young!
Several points that came to Xu Hengzhou's mind were instantly integrated, and he knew how to act.
At this time, Jiang Wen also came back, picked up his special loudspeaker, looked at Xu Hengzhou, and shouted directly to the audience: "Get ready, filming will start in one minute."
Chapter completed!
