Disaster Artist

In fact, people in the industry who are familiar with the operation mode of film crews know that it is a normal routine to shoot a scene repeatedly for many times.

What's more, some scenes need to switch to different depths of field and different angles to shoot, and multiple shooting is the basic operation.

For example, when dawn broke today, it was divided into the capture of the blue moment. The crew was mentally prepared for at least a week of filming, that is, for the next seven days, they would concentrate on filming this scene every morning until they passed the border. If the weather affected, The front may also need to be stretched.

In other words, psychological expectations have been prepared.

Logically speaking, Lu Qian's request was normal, but the actual situation was that the scene of the shooting was temporarily modified, and then the camera crew headed by Chen Mu handed over an excellent work result. Staring with bated breath, deep in my heart I couldn't help but express admiration.

However, Lu Qian was still able to propose room for improvement.

Chen Mu knew that Lu Qian was right, but it was still difficult to accept emotionally.

"...Eighty points? Are you serious?"

Lu Qian looked at Chen Mu with a depressed face, and did not continue to explain, just nodded.

"Yes, eighty minutes."

Chen Mu couldn't help but choked, he didn't know why he wanted to humiliate himself, he knew what Lu Qian's answer was, but he still ran over to ask, gave Lu Qian a vicious look, and then turned around angrily. He left, still muttering and swearing.

What "it's only eighty points", "how is it possible", "I'm going to make that guy look good", "perfect enough to shut him up"... and so on.

Su Ziyi was the only bystander who witnessed everything at close range, and he looked like eating melons with great interest. As a result, he noticed that Lu Qian's eyes were looking over, and his heart suddenly tightened, and he said in a panic, "Uh, the meeting, yes , our lighting team also needs a meeting", and then his footsteps slipped away.

After fleeing the scene in panic, he quietly glanced back and found that Lu Qian was still staring at him with a smile on his face.

"Ghost!"

Su Zi jumped up immediately, fled away in a flash, and the back was like a real ghost.

A smile appeared in Lu Qian's eyes, and he turned and walked towards the other side.

Eighty percent?

Objectively speaking, Lu Qian thinks that the score of the scene just now could be higher. After all, the scene was changed, and the time was so tight, it really embarrassed the whole team, but it is also true that there is still a lot of room for improvement in this scene. , both the camera crew and the lighting crew.

In any case, adjusting the shooting plan on the spot is inevitably not perfect.

There are also actors.

Lu Qian thought that Guan Zhou still lacked confidence.

Regardless of the performance for the time being, what is certain is that Guan Zhou is still questioning himself. Such doubts are valid for Artest, but not for the movie "Raid".

What's the meaning?

To put it simply, for ordinary people, when they face life-threatening situations for the first time, negative emotions such as fear, fear, hesitation, hesitation, etc. are all established. That is to say, if this is the reality, then Guan Zhou's self-doubt is not at all. The problem is, even the SWAT teams are ordinary people.

But movies are different.

If "The Raid" is a film that attempts to delve into the SWAT team's state of mind or a deeper theme, it's okay to expose human and psychological weaknesses; but "The Raid" is a stylized popcorn work, rhythmically is life, then these in-depth discussions are superfluous.

Because the audience walks into the movie theater, not really want to see how a rookie SWAT transforms, but want to see a fight.

However, should Artest's psychological arc exist? want! of course yes! Just need to simplify!

Nervous and jerky, but still shouldering heavy responsibilities; when a crisis comes, force yourself into a state; strengthen your beliefs and fight back.

Such a simple three-act conversion to form a psychological arc is enough, and it is subtly integrated into the plot, making the story more complete and making the movie smoother, without breaking the narrative rhythm of the movie.

Then, Lu Qian needs Guan Zhou to believe in himself.

Look, for a movie, details are very important. How to control these details, a little more or a little less, will produce different effects. This is also one of the director's jobs.

However, not all directors have such ability, and not all directors can train actors, and the final works are not the same. It is precisely because of this that with a luxurious cast of actors, some directors It is possible to shoot a classic, but some directors can only stir up a pot of porridge.

From the perspective of "unfriending", Lu Qian's small test is still effective, and now he will try it again in the "raid".

However, facing Guan Zhou and facing Xia Yingjia are two completely different situations, and the methods and means are naturally different.

"director!"

From a distance, Guan Zhou saw Lu Qian, and immediately stood at attention and saluted, with a solemn expression, and he could feel the nervousness almost suffocating from a distance.

When Lu Qian approached, without waiting for Lu Qian to speak, Guan Zhou apologized.

"Director, I'm sorry, I just performed badly in the first scene."

Lu Qian chuckled and shook his head, "Guan Zhou, I think the first scene is actually very good. You should be the best part of the whole scene."

Guan Zhou couldn't believe his ears, and his expression and eyes showed it directly.

The smile in Lu Qian's eyes flowed out. He was telling the truth, and there was room for improvement in other aspects, but Guan Zhou's performance was impeccable.

"Do you know why I invited you on the spot when I was on the set? I didn't even watch your performance, and I didn't ask you to show any emotions. It seemed like a decision was made very casually?"

Guan Zhou's thoughts extended from Lu Qian's words. Of course, he also considered this matter. After calming down, he realized that the whole audition process completely broke expectations, which was different from what he imagined, and even made people doubt Lu Qian. It's the kind of liar, because it's so beautiful that it doesn't feel real——

In the past 20 years, such fairy tales have only happened twice, which can be called once in ten years, but now the pie falls to Guan Zhou. On the head, any hesitation and worry are normal.

"Because of my skill?"

This is Guan Zhou's only guess.

Lu Qian laughed lightly, "Fortunately, you didn't say it was because of your appearance."

It's a joke.

But Guan Zhou really can't laugh now, just politely showing a dry arc to cooperate with the performance.

Lu Qian could see Guan Zhou's politeness at a glance, and smiled even more happily, "It's precisely because of your appearance and eyes, especially your eyes when you are in a fight, dedicated, determined, and decisive, which can form a contrast. , but it gives you a charm that is loved by the big screen."

Guan Zhou had never heard of such a compliment, and it was always negative, negative, and negative. He couldn't believe that his temperament could still be interpreted in this way.
