Chapter 852: Harsh Meaning
Originally, after more than three weeks of running-in, the entire crew was already running smoothly.
After such an accident, everyone was much more careful, but the tacit understanding did not decrease.
Now that the psychological barrier has been overcome, the subsequent shooting has suddenly become smoother.
This scene in the subway is the last one that requires special effects, and it is also the most difficult, complex, and dangerous one.
In addition to Fei Xiang and Zeng Qian needing to fight on the roof of the slow-moving carriage, there is also a scene where the male protagonist has no way to rescue the heroine who is handcuffed to the carriage pillar, so he can only hug her tightly and help the heroine break free from the column with the help of the principle of collision and mechanics.
The two hugged tightly in the carriage that swept across the subway platform, and the long shot kept running out with the subway car, flying directly to the scene on the street outside, which is the most essential and addictive existence of the whole film.
But even for such a difficult scene, the crew completed all the filming within two weeks.
During this period, although Fei Xiang was injured again, his head was bleeding, and he only rested for a day before he was fully engaged in filming again.
Compared to Fei Xiang, who almost thought he was going to be crippled before, and now he has broken his courage, he is completely like a real member of the Flying Tigers, brave and vigorous, and his eyes are full of confidence and determination.
It just so happens that this is the temperament that Yin Jun needs him to show.
So, in the later scenes, every time there will be a camera that follows Fei Xiang's face and gives him more close-ups.
Anyway, Fei Xiang's handsomeness is eaten by both the East and the West, and giving such a handsome guy a close-up, I think the audience will be happy.
In this way, as we entered late April, when the last shot raised the camera's angle of view, freezing the subway car and the crashing car, Yin Jun shouted out what everyone wanted to hear.
"I announce that "Speed of Life and Death" is officially completed!"
"Yay......"
Even the most stable person can't help but cheer when he hears this.
Filming for about two months was a very "painful" experience for any of them.
In Xiangjiang, even the most demanding Li Xiaolong has never made the crew so "uncomfortable".
Yin Jun is not as scolding as Li Xiaolong, in general, he will be reasonable, say what is wrong with the facts, and then reshoot.
If he is still not satisfied, he will go into battle in person, whether it is a male actor or an actress, he is at his fingertips, and he can definitely be better than the actor who was pointed out by him wrong.
This makes many people feel that Yin Jun, the No. 1 screenwriter in Asia, has definitely reached the point of going crazy when writing scripts.
These lens languages must have formed a movie in his mind a long time ago.
Otherwise, how could it be so clear, so skillful, it was as if it had been played in his mind many times.
The key is that Yin Jun didn't just work so the set.
Usually the studio ends at around 6 o'clock.
For more than five hours after finishing work, even if Yin Jun was eating a boxed lunch, he was still sitting in the editing room, discussing and discussing with Yuan Kui, Zhang Yaozong, and Huang Yuezhu about the shots shot today, how to make trade-offs, whether to make up the shots or something.
Then the next morning, Yin Jun arrived on the set at 7 o'clock.
What shots are going to be taken today, which ones are ready to be done, and what are the questions...... These Yin Jun will ask them one by one, and then urge them to do a good job before the start of filming.
He made Wen Xiaopang very resentful like this.
You want to.
The boss, the director, and the producer all came to the set in advance, so what reason did you, the studio manager in charge of overall affairs, come late?
So he could only grit his teeth, came to the set early at 7 o'clock, and started the day's work.
For this reason, Wen Xiaopang lost at least 8 pounds.
It's not just him, there are basically no people on this set who are not thin.
But they can't complain.
When you meet such a serious and obsessive director, what do you say you have to complain about?
I can't complain, so I can only follow Yin Jun to shoot.
If Yin Jun is not the producer, producer, and director of "Speed of Life and Death", if he is not the boss of Kylin Film Company, if he is not the boss of Kylin Satellite TV, and if he is not one of the few super-rich people in Xiangjiang, it is estimated that at least one-fifth of the crew will not be able to support it.
Making this movie of yours is equivalent to the energy I used to make three or five movies, who would like it?
That is, if you are afraid of Yin Jun and ban them in the future, whether it is an actor or a production staff, you can only do it head-on.
Rao is like this, and many people also plan to never cooperate with Yin Jun again after filming "Speed of Life and Death".
Even if he pretends to be sick, he can't pick up Yin Jun's own crew.
As for the people who scolded Yin Jun for being the devil on the set when a group of friends got together to drink after work every day, it was not one or two, let alone one or two.
However, now, listening to Yin Jun's release of "Finale", thinking about the hardships and trials of the past two months, many people unconsciously began to worry about it, and they were vaguely reluctant in their hearts.
In fact, by now, as long as you are not too stupid and lazy, you have already realized that after making such a movie, you have improved a lot.
Take actors, for example.
In the past, more Xiangjiang actors performed in their true colors.
That's how my personality and actions are, and that's how I act.
But in Yin Jun's crew, whether it is the protagonist or a supporting role, as long as you can't meet his requirements, he will come over and teach you hand-in-hand, whether it is eyes or movements, or various means to express inner emotions, he will explain carefully, and will personally demonstrate, so that you can see clearly.
After studying a few more times, everyone will naturally be able to do it, and then continue to grind like this, and naturally there will be improvement.
Wait a minute.
Isn't this an action-packed blockbuster?
How can you still pick out details like a literary film?
It's not going to be X, is it?
Of course not!
Action movies aren't just about hot scenes and selling muscles, either.
The details inside are also very important.
Without details, without the wonderful performances of the actors, even if it is Michael Bay's film, it is popcorn.
Take fried x shellfish as an example.
Although his "Transformers" series has grossed billions of dollars at the global box office, how many people think "Transformers" is better than his debut work, "Jedi Men"?
Is the good-looking of "Jedi Men" because of the desperate fight of the two police officers?
Definitely not!
Its good-looking looks are more due to the wonderful performances of Will Smith and Martin Lawrence, and the mutual acting skills between them make the film unexpectedly exciting.
Even in "Life and Death", Keanu Reeves, who is at the peak of his appearance, has his own excellent performance in several key scenes, and the future Oscar-winning actress Sandra has also completed her role tasks very well, and there is an excellent foil for the villain...... and other factors, which prop up a good-looking action movie.
So, hot action movies and good-looking hot action movies are two different things.
The various scenes that are hot are just external, and to really attract people, it has to be the story and the interpretation of the actors.
This is also the most important reason why after 2016, many Hollywood special effects blockbusters have not sold well in China.
Hollywood's giants were stunned.
What's going on?
Obviously, the invincible Hollywood blockbusters that conquered the city a few years ago failed in China?
Of course, they don't understand that audiences living in a country with a long history of 5,000 years have adapted to a certain kind of thing and begin to pursue a higher level of demand.
Simple beauty, handsome women, simple hot and thrilling special effects, naturally get bored after watching it for a long time.
If the content is messy, it will make the audience give up directly under the low reputation.
For example, "Transformers 5" of fried x bei, isn't it such a feather?—— well, although the results are also very good, but compared to the previous results, it is really a lot of regression.
Not to mention Hollywood, isn't it the star who is admired by countless audiences in the mainland, after "Beauty and Mermaid", in "Journey to the West", suffered a big fiasco?
was ambitious to hit the box office of at least 3 billion, but he almost couldn't reach half of it.
This shows that after experiencing the initial spiritual hunger, mainland audiences will continue to become tasteful, have their own choices, and have more ideas of their own, instead of seeing Hollywood blockbusters and blockbusters of Xiangjiang superstars, they rush in to watch them directly.
The current Xiangjiang movie fans, of course, are still in the state of mainland audiences before 2016.
Basically, as long as it is a quality work, it can attract them to the cinema.
Even movies that make money, as long as there are stars, they can make a lot of money.
Because of the Xiangjiang, there are also "stupid" fans such as Baodao and Xinmatai to take over.
If Yin Jun wants, he can write a few movies at will, and then make a sequel every other year, just like that, until he returns in 1997, and the box office is not bad.
But Yin Jun will definitely not do this.
That's all he wrote for someone else's script.
The movies he made, in addition to his own dreams, he wanted to set a benchmark for Xiangjiang films.
He wants fans to see what a serious movie is.
As long as fans are accustomed to the good movies made by Yin Jun, do you say that those crude and rotten movies can still have a market like in their previous lives?
This is the same as "Jurassic Park" entering Xiangjiang, as soon as the big dinosaur came, Xiangjiang's bad movies wailed, and the market immediately shrank significantly.
It's as simple as that.
I've eaten the whole banquet, and you still bring a pot of messy things over to coax me to eat, is this possible?
It is still the beginning stage of Hong Kong films.
Yin Jun wants to make a standard, so that Xiangjiang movies will have more sincere masterpieces and works that people can watch comfortably.
Only in this way will the brand of Xiangjiang Movies really go out, not the kind of movie that will swarm once it becomes famous like in the previous life, and will never give up if it does not mess up the market.
Fortunately, there are only a few companies doing Xiangjiang Film now, if it is replaced by the 90s, almost hundreds of film companies make movies together, and all the funds from Baodao, South Korea, Singapore, and Japan are pouring over, and such a group of demons is dancing, even Yin Jun, he can't hold it down at all.
Everything is better regulated at the beginning.
Yin Jun gave a good script to Golden Harvest and New Art City, and the reason is precisely this.
Only when they taste the sweetness will they follow Yin Jun and be willing to make better films.
Because of the leading role of these giant companies and their edification of audiences in Hong Kong and even the whole of Asia, those small film companies will rein in their minds and make movies seriously.
At least tell the story well.
Right?
You don't even have a story in a mess, how do you make a good movie?
Well, this is not only for Xiangjiang and Hollywood movies, but also for mainland movies after 2016.
