As for Xiao Han and Jin Chengwu, they were stunned for a long time. They had no idea that the title sequence, which had been shot many times before being pieced together through editing, would be so wonderful that it made people hold their breath until they finished watching it.
The story is quite rich, including the innocent and hazy first love of Jin Chengwu and Xiao Han, looking at each other with blushing faces under the red maple leaves. Xiao Ran felt extremely funny when he saw this. This scene was designed to make the two of them blush.
, but it took many photos.
Later, as a last resort, Xiao Ran poured wine into the two of them, and then the blushing scene was filmed. What's interesting is that just after filming these scenes, Xiao Han, who was never allowed to drink, fell drunk.
After being drunk, he was still mumbling about his brother and so on.
Fortunately, there were only one or two blushing scenes, otherwise there would be nothing revealing. This pure emotional scene is very touching. Xiao Han's purity and cuteness simply conquered every audience, especially the blushing scene is even more amazing.
In fact, this emotional scene was not written by Xiao Ran. Xiao Ran could not write such an emotional scene. In fact, it was written by You Hai. You Hai is definitely a master in writing emotional scenes. However, Xiao Ran felt that You Hai wrote love themes.
It may not necessarily be very good. What makes You Haisheng better is that with not many dialogues and scenes, he can easily intersperse a subtle and touching emotion in any subject.
The most typical one is the ambiguous relationship between Liu Qingyun and Meng Jiahui in "Very Sudden", which is definitely an extremely touching place in the film. There are also the respective emotions of the two sisters-in-law in "Real Hero", so although they are often
Some people say that the encounter scene on the minibus in "Dark War" was written by a French screenwriter, but Xiao Ran still thinks that it is completely in You Hai's style.
The story is not about first love, but about struggle. The male protagonist played by Kim Sung-wu likes to drive cars, but has never considered racing. Therefore, in the film, even though Kim Sung-wu is walking on the street, he speaks out
There are occasionally a few professional terms in it.
Wu Zhenyu's performance was absolutely dazzling, and people had never even thought about such a performance. His appearance was quite majestic. After a match with others, he performed a move that seemed quite feminine on the surface.
The car moves slowly but has a sinister feel.
Xiao Ran was not surprised by this, but he still found it strange, because Wu Zhenyu's performance was almost the same as in "Young and Dangerous", and his voice was also very hoarse. Even though his acting skills were still a little immature, he was overwhelmed by this strangeness.
The performance was covered up.
Of course, Wu Zhenyu's role is not a villain. There is no villain in this film. Wu Zhenyu looks very bad on the surface, but at the end he becomes a good friend with Jin Chengwu. Xiao Ran really hopes that Wu can continue to act in the sequel.
The theme of the film is love and struggle, but struggle is nowhere to be seen. Xiao Ran knows that he has failed in conveying the theme after all. On the contrary, challenge and love are shown very well, especially the former, when Jin Chengwu stubbornly asks Wu Zhenyu
His performance was quite outstanding when he was asked to play one game.
As for love, Xiao Ran chose another obscure way of expression. First, he expressed it by saying that every time Jin Chengwu repaired a car, he always polished the car. Later, he expressed it through other ways.
, it can be said to be quite wonderful.
What surprised Xiao Ran was that after Jin Chengwu and Wu Zhenyu competed once, the scene where they became friends at the end unexpectedly brought about a very sympathetic feeling, which was somewhat similar to the relationship between the heroes of the opposing sides in "The Bloody Heroes".
Feeling of pity.
This is a very strange thing. After Xiao Ran went back, he thought for a long time before reluctantly giving an answer. Perhaps it was because he was too influenced by Wu Yusen and Du Qifeng. Of course, the description in the text is very bland, but the film is extremely exciting.
of.
The whole film is 110 minutes long, with a total of six racing scenes, three of which are highlight scenes. The first scene is naturally the opening sequence, the second scene appears at the 780th minute according to the script rules. The last scene
The scene is the highlight of the highlight. In the end, the whole film ends with a climax. It feels more enjoyable than making love.
The second major racing scene happened in an accident. Neither party knew who the other party was. In that scene, Xiao Ran's method changed a little, deliberately not making it smooth.
In this last scene, Xiao Ran worked hard and racked his brains to come up with the best interpretation plan. This scene must go beyond the title, otherwise it will become top-heavy. Xiao Ran's technique can be said to be simple or complex.
Yes.
It’s simple because he used a variety of endless techniques. The first is to drop leaves, which is very important. Before filming this scene, the producer even spent a lot of money to have countless maple trees transplanted on both sides of the track.
, in order to create a special and extremely beautiful effect.
Moreover, during the actual filming, the road was covered with maple leaves. It looked as if the decisive battle was taking place in a paradise. It was very romantic. This style matched closely with the style of the whole film, and it was a bit innocent and full of romance.
It's a bit romantic, and it coincides with the fact that the protagonist still has a long way to go to become a car god.
With so much effort put into the atmosphere alone, one can only imagine how much care Xiao Ran put into the final scene. For this scene, the crew used a total of eighteen cameras, not including the aerial photography by two helicopters.
In terms of scene and magnanimity, it is absolutely rare in Hong Kong films. The only regret is that the magnanimity is enough, but the scene is somewhat lacking due to the limitations of the location. This is obviously not a human factor.
Fantasy Special Effects also took over the special effects production of this film, making the decisive battle scene extremely beautiful. And in this last scene, Fantasy Special Effects even used computer editing skills to give the film a stunning effect.
The multi-angle scenes are the moves used by Li An in "The Green Giant". This absolutely novel camera parallelism method is gradually withdrawn, allowing everyone to experience this new production method, and it looks extremely cool in the soundtrack.
What’s cool is not only the technique, but also the attire of both parties in the decisive battle, which has the flavor of an ancient warrior duel. Ye Jintian is indeed extremely sharp in costume styling, and the art of the film is even more superb. However, Ye Jintian knows very well,
A lot of this comes from Xiao Ran's advice, which is more like enlightenment than advice.
Why did Xiao Ran use so many cameras? The reason was very simple. He needed a full-angle lens to select the most suitable lens. Moreover, in addition, he specifically used the trick he learned from Wu Yusen - slow motion.
Lens!
Xiao Ran dare not say that he has the deepest understanding of the use of slow motion, but he is definitely the best director in the Hong Kong film industry besides Wu Yusen. When it comes to slow motion, he actually admires not only Wu Yusen, but also Wu Yusen.
There is Polygonatum japonicus.
Huang Jingpu is a new director in the 21st century. He rose to the top with "Fu Bo", an absolutely masterpiece, and was promoted by Zeng Zhiwei as the director of "Jiang Hu". In this film, Huang Jingpu's influence on Wang Jiawei's works can be seen everywhere.
It imitates that kind of camera feel, and is quite good at slow motion.
It's even more remarkable in "Sister-in-law". This time he abandoned his imitation of Wang Jiawei and became more and more controlled in slow motion. This "Sister-in-law" is a gangster film, but at its core it is pure and innocent.
Joy, despite its sadness, is still pure joy in the end.
The gangster's brutality and intrigue should not be compatible with the girl's purity, but Huang Jingpu was able to make it all blend together, allowing people to experience the touching feeling at the ending, which is really sharp. In this,
Xiao Huang's manipulation of slow motion is absolutely brilliant. If there were no slow motion to buffer the gangster elements, it would be difficult for the entire film to achieve this balance.
In the film "Sister-in-law", Huang Jingpu's use of slow motion is almost obsessive, and with these slow motions, he successfully created a romantic style with a Jianghu flavor. It is really amazing, Xiao Ran's love for ten
I admire this young director who appeared many years later.
Xiao Ran's use in this aspect is somewhat similar, except that he no longer needs to rely on camera sense to create romance. The art and pictures have already reflected this. His use of slow motion is to highlight the extreme speed of this kind of racing car.
, the illusion of being faster than the wind and faster than electricity.
The operation is not difficult, but the difficulty lies in the timing. Xiao Ran chose to use this method when passing two of the corners. Since this method is very good, why not use it more? Xiao Ran knows very well that any clever method will not work.
Once it is repeated too many times, or the timing is not chosen appropriately, it will often have the opposite effect.
The two cars were close together, one behind the other. When they came to a corner, the former suddenly made a 90-degree turn. At this moment, slow motion appeared, and the picture was suddenly divided into two pictures. One was Jin Chengwu.
, one is Wu Zhenyu.
Both of them were staring ahead with concentration. At this moment, the speed of everything seemed to slow down. However, it did not give people the feeling of slowness or weakness. Instead, it made people feel more intense. The two riders' respective movements
The action is very clear in the split screen, and the car's pressing trajectory is presented in slow motion, making such a large high-speed cornering thrilling.
That's it, in the strong contrast between movement and stillness, the feeling of rushing through the wind is getting stronger and stronger, and the visual stimulation is becoming more and more enjoyable. Although Xiao Ran is very happy, he still feels very sorry. He specially designated this film
Zheng Zhaoqiang came to do photography, and with the addition of Jiang Lan, the lens that is best at capturing motion, he originally thought he could maximize the feeling between movement and stillness.
However, in a sense, he failed. Zheng Zhaoqiang is not yet the top photographer in the future, and Jiang Lan is not an experienced photographer. The only good thing is that the two still complement each other in some aspects. But
Xiao Ran has always believed that the current lenses are not the most cutting-edge lenses that capture the balance between movement and stillness. If they can achieve the best, then this lens alone can definitely become a classic.
In the last set of shots around the corner, Xiao Ran still used frame splitting and slow motion, but last time it was split up and down, and this time it was split left and right, trying to create tricks. However, he did not let the split screen take over the focus, and instead
Let the main screen record the trajectory of Jin Chengwu surpassing Wu Zhenyu in a thrilling manner.
The real climax was also born at this moment, because as mentioned before, whoever can take the lead after passing this corner is equal to winning. When people think that they have passed the big climax, the real climax has arrived.
The car driven by Wu Zhenyu was overtaken by Jin Chengwu. He suddenly lost control and hit a big tree on the roadside. After the collision, it flew upright in the air and flew at least four to five meters high. Then it crashed to the ground. This unexpected incident was frightening.
It shocked the entire audience and made the heart that had been resting peacefully rise to the top of my throat again.
Jin Chengwu drove the car back. Fortunately, Wu Zhenyu was not thrown to death. As soon as he was rescued by Jin Chengwu, he weakly cursed and then admitted Jin Chengwu's victory. Then, the two showed understanding.
The smile is the smile of the riders showing sympathy to each other.
This time, the audience finally took a breath, and they all stood up and paid respect to the creative staff in the back row. The applause was so enthusiastic that it could lift the lid of the theater, and it turned into a kind of warmth and warmth in everyone's heart.
Pride and pride.
Xiao Ran glanced at Xiang Bao and the others and couldn't help but smile. He had the same feeling at the beginning. However, what he enjoyed more now was the feeling of manipulation. He knew that he had manipulated everyone in one hundred and ten minutes.
the emotions of the audience.
Do you know what infatuation is? This is infatuation. Xiao Ran is infatuated with this feeling. He knows that this is what he wants. When he imagines that he can use his creativity to leave this story in people's memory forever, he is satisfied.
How many people in this world live in obscurity. But he can rely on movies to leave a permanent place in people's hearts.
At this moment, the director is God. He has created a virtual and perfect world, created emotions, anger, sorrow, and living characters with blood and tears. What is God? Whatever God can do, he can do.
Moreover, what he is doing now is not just once. He thinks that he can be greater than God at this moment.
There is nothing more passionate and emotional than creation. Xiao Ran has a deep experience of this. This is why he does not plan to direct future films to increase his fame. Not just because he does not need fame, but
It's because he wants and needs something that belongs to him. No one likes to use other people's things all the time.
