Chapter 6 Cold Ice Rain
At eight o'clock the next morning, the actors were on set.
Director Gao Qunshu had two big, swollen bags under his eyes. It was obvious that he had not had a good rest yesterday and was yawning again and again.
Zhang Yuan knew without looking at his face that the director's discussion about selling the film yesterday was not smooth.
"Director Gao, good morning."
"Oh, Zhang Yuan is here." The director forced a smile.
"Director, last night Brother Honglei and I had dinner to discuss the script, and we came up with a few new ideas."
"Huh?" Gao Qunshu raised his eyebrows.
This guy is really awesome. He comes up with ideas every now and then. The key is that these ideas are quite practical.
“Tell me about it.”
Zhang Yuan had already planned everything and started talking.
“There are two places.”
“One is that Liu Huaqiang sent his men to kill Song Laohu in the plot.”
“According to what is written in the script, it’s just Jin Bao made a sneak attack and killed Song Laohu with one shot, and the villain was taken offline. "
"If it is shot like this, it is actually the same as the previous night scene with Feng Biao. It is a bit too straightforward and does not reflect Liu Huaqiang. The ruthlessness and heroic temperament of this character.”
Director Gao nodded, it was true. He had not thought so much when he read the script before, but when Zhang Yuan said it, it was really like this.
When the shooting started, he felt dissatisfied and would have to waste a lot of time and film like last time.
Time and film are both money, and he is short of money now!
"Then how do you think you should behave?"
Gao Qunshu picked up the cigarette and remembered that the last time Zhang Yuan made him angry when he made suggestions, he put the cigarette down again.
"When the story reaches the stage of shooting Song Laohu, Liu Huaqiang should have been targeted by the police." Zhang Yuan naturally sat next to the director, while the rest of the crew expressed their feelings towards this young actor and director who was a group performer. Sitting side by side, talking and laughing without any surprise.
Everyone is used to it.
"And Liu Huaqiang also knew that he had been targeted by the police. Others would not look back until they hit the wall, but he had the temperament to not only not look back, but also to break the wall. "
Not only did he not look back, but he also broke through the south wall... Gao Qunshu muttered something in a low voice, thinking that this was interesting, and he would add it to his lines later.
"Then the situation becomes that Liu Huaqiang wants to kill people under the police's dragnet. This is the background."
"According to the cunning character of Liu Huaqiang, he cannot recklessly arrange his men to kill people. He must have a plan and even find a way to disrupt the police's sight."
"How to disrupt the law?" Gao Qun Shu's interest was piqued.
"It's better to add such a paragraph in the planning stage of shooting Song Laohu."
"Liu Huaqiang knew that the police were arresting him, so he specially arranged for his men to be at the junction of the two districts. Murder, because different jurisdictions require different police stations to coordinate and handle the case, it will waste a lot of time, distract the police's energy, and slow down the pace of the police investigation."
"This can be reflected. Liu Huaqiang’s sinister and cunning character is more three-dimensional.”
After Zhang Yuan finished speaking, Gao Qunshu was stunned for a while, and then grabbed his arm.
"Zhang Yuan, tell me the truth, have you ever been a gangster before?"
"How do you know so clearly!"
Use the differences between different jurisdictions of the police Cooperate between times to slow down the pace.
Gao Qunshu was shocked. How could anyone imagine this if he had never done this before?
But this short plot can reflect the secret battle between good and evil, and can also increase the tension of the story. The most important thing is that this kind of plot can be expressed in just a few lines, it is easy to shoot, and it does not cost money.
"Director Gao, don't be joking, I haven't finished speaking yet." Zhang Yuan quickly fooled him.
“After this episode, the police’s investigation of Liu Huaqiang became more and more severe, the script states.”
“The police used Liu Huaqiang’s younger brother Liu Huawen’s critical illness as bait in order to Liu Huaqiang showed up at the hospital, trying to catch a turtle in a jar. "
"And Liu Huaqiang also guessed that this might be a trick by the police, and then went there in the middle of the night. After repeated tests, he narrowly escaped. "
Gao Qunshu nodded, that's how the script was written. This part is very exciting.
“This plot is very rich, but there is a piece missing.”
“What is missing?”
“What is missing is Liu Huaqiang’s entanglement!” Zhang Yuan finally elicited Got to the point.
“It should be said that throughout the entire film, Liu Huaqiang killed so many people with only one purpose, to avenge his brother!”
"My younger brother Liu Huawen is his only weakness. If he doesn't go to the hospital, he may not be able to see his brother for the last time. If he goes to the hospital, he may be arrested by the police." "As a hero, he will definitely be entangled and struggle. This process is scripted. "
Gao Qunshu lowered his head and thought, it is indeed the case.
If Liu Huaqiang's entanglement is shown, the character of this character can be enriched.
"Director, have you seen "The Shawshank Redemption"?"
Gao Qunshu nodded. As long as it's a movie, who hasn't seen this classic masterpiece?
Without "Forrest Gump", "Shawshank Redemption" would definitely win an Oscar, and as an industry insider, Gao Qunshu knows very well that regardless of the output of values, in terms of story alone, "Shawshank" Clearly better.
“There is a classic scene in this movie. After breaking out of prison, Andy opens his arms in the storm and embraces freedom.”
“We can also have a scene where Liu Huaqiang Meditate and struggle in the rainstorm, let the rain wash away your stress and worries. "
Hei Boss stood alone in the wind and rain... Gao Qunshu imagined the scene, and then slapped him.
"Interesting."
Loneliness, vulnerability, hesitation, and uneasiness, these elements can all be expressed in this scene, showing the emptiness and helplessness under Liu Huaqiang's tough appearance, and the character's sense of layering increases dramatically.
However, Director Gao quickly frowned. There was a problem in filming the rainstorm scene.
Cost money!
Renting a fire truck to create artificial rainfall costs several thousand a day, and you also have to pay for water, which is very expensive.
The crew was strapped for funds, and due to lack of money, the film was reduced to 20 episodes. Although this was a good idea, there was no spare money.
"Director Gao, are you worried about the cost?" Zhang Yuan asked with a smile.
"Yes, you also know the situation here..."
"Director Gao, look over there." Zhang Yuan raised his hand and pointed into the distance before the other party finished speaking.
Gao Qunshu looked along his arm and saw a large black cloud slowly approaching in the distance.
"I read the weather forecast yesterday. It's going to rain heavily today!"
Gao Qunshu opened his mouth wide.
The most I do is shoot scenes in hotel lobbies for free, but this guy just does it for free!
In fact, Zhang Yuan’s real purpose was this rain scene. Because heavy rains are rare, the director must adjust the shooting plan for the filming, which will free up time for Li Jingxiang to study.
The reason why he proposed two revisions was actually that the first one was a smoke bomb, just to hide his true purpose.
"Okay, let's do it. You go and call Hong Lei for me."
After a while, the director issued an adjustment order to the entire crew. The content originally shot today was postponed and a scene was temporarily inserted. play.
Li Jingxiang was stunned when he learned about this, and came to Zhang Yuan with a face full of disbelief.
Isn’t this guy a god? How did he ask the director to adjust the shooting plan?
"Brother Jingxiang, now that you have one day, quickly find someone to learn how to ride a motorcycle." Zhang Yuan patted him on the shoulder.
"This...who should I look for to learn? It's too late to find a school now?"
"You can go find a motorcycle on the road, pay 100 yuan for lost work, and let a tutor give you a lesson."
Fuck, why didn't I expect that... Li Jingxiang felt that compared with Zhang Yuan, he was a pig-brained person who couldn't turn.
[Received thanks from Li Jingxiang, acting +5, micro-expression +3, eye expression +3! 】
Zhang Yuan nodded, so my work was not in vain.
His operation made Gao Qunshu happy, Li Jingxiang happy, but Sun Honglei suffered!
“The cold icy rain slapped my face randomly...”
On the set, Zhang Yuan and several other actors hid under an umbrella, singing and watching Sun Honglei filming in the rain. .
It was really raining!
You just have to carry it with your body, and you have to perform to reflect the emotions of the character.
"Sun Honglei really did this." Zhang Yuan praised in his heart.
I repeated it several times, and I was as wet as a drowned rat, without a single complaint, unlike those fairies in later generations who did not touch even a drop of water because they were afraid of wearing their own makeup.
After a whole morning of back and forth, this independent scene in the rain was finally finished, and the rain just stopped.
Zhang Yuan went to eat with everyone. At this moment, a wet arm locked his neck from behind.
“You have a grudge against me, don’t you!”
Sun Honglei's small eyes stared at him viciously...
