Chapter 13 "Three Monks" Finished

It's not just the two monks who don't understand, they even don't understand the power of Xingwei. Isn't it right for two people to carry more water?

As a middle-aged man who has experienced life and turmoil, Jin Shan actually understood Lin Hong's meaning, but he didn't make a sound. He wanted to see how the young director understood this scene.

"The two of you just had a big quarrel about carrying water. In the end, you had to compromise and cooperate to carry water because there was no water to drink. But are you really willing to carry water? This is the first time for two people who are too lazy to talk. Cooperation to carry water is so harmonious, so tacit?

The two of you have been fighting in secret since you shared a shoulder pole. You both want to relax, so you will ask to change positions in the process of lifting the water, and then ask to change shoulders, and even secretly push the bucket towards each other.You said such small movements all the way, how much water should there be in the bucket? "

What Lin Hong said was straightforward enough, and everyone suddenly realized, yes, "Three Monks" is about the selfishness of human nature, and only acting according to Lin Hong's words can express this ideological core more accurately.

Jin Shan couldn't help nodding, and the last trace of worry disappeared.

The others also understood, and at the same time they were more convinced of Lin Hong's director ability.

After filming resumed, the two found their status in an instant. The two of them interpreted the inconsistency and secret calculations very well. In the end, the two even had a stalemate for a long time over who should pour the water into the bucket, and finally decided to pour the water at the same time.This can be regarded as an inference between the two.

"Cut, this one is over! We call it a day."

On the first day, I wasted some time on worshiping the gods and running in, so I only filmed the scene of two monks in the kitchen. It was only the first day. There was no need for Lin Hong to have disputes with other people’s temples, so I called it off 10 minutes early. .

After returning home, Lin Hong pondered for a long time by himself. He felt that there was still room for further digging in the script, so he decided to add a scene temporarily at the beginning of the next day.

There were many shoulder poles in the kitchen, and the skinny monk picked one out, then took out a ruler to measure it repeatedly, and finally carved a line in the middle with a knife, and then took the pole away.

The handsome monk did exactly the same thing as the skinny monk, and he also left with his shoulder pole.

Through Lin Hong's lecture yesterday, everyone was very clear about the meaning of the two newly added scenes, and it really showed the two people's careful thinking more clearly.

When the machine was turned on again, the two monks took out their marked poles from behind, and then they both measured each other's poles, and only after confirming that there was no problem with the poles did they carry the empty bucket out of the kitchen.

In the next shot, the two cooperate to carry water for the second time. The bucket is always on that line. They feel that their hearts are more balanced, so the water is more stable than usual, and naturally there is more water in the bucket.

After the water-carrying scene between the two of them was filmed, the fat monk Jinshan, who appeared last, was going to play next.

Jin Shan did not come from a major. He used to be self-employed. Because he loved film and television dramas, he went to Beijing Film Studio as an extra in his free time. Because of his unique appearance, he was valued. He officially debuted as an actor at the age of 36.

But maybe he has talent in his own right. He has his own unique understanding of little people and villains. He can always make the audience remember his ordinaryness, and also make the audience like his badness. He is known as the golden supporting role in the circle.

Jin Shan's most successful role was playing a fat translator in an Anti-Japanese War drama. It happened that Zhang Shan also participated in that drama, so the two of them have collaborated for the second time.

Fat Monk Jinshan also carried water alone at the beginning. He and Li Xian thought it was different for the first time to carry water. He is a fat monk and a middle-aged monk. Of course, it can be seen that the thin monk and the handsome monk bullied him. I came here, so I was upset at the beginning, but I still reluctantly carried water for the sake of being a newcomer.

Beautiful, Lin Hong was amazed in his heart, this old drama player is really extraordinary, it seems that Zhang Jiandong's guarantee at the beginning was quite reliable.

The second time the fat monk carried water alone, he was not dissatisfied, but angry.This was originally an emotion that a fat monk should have, but Lin Hong felt that if he could express it with another emotion, he might have a different feeling.

"Cut, keep one."

As soon as Lin Hong said the words "guarantee one", everyone looked at Jin Shan with nervous eyes. After all, he is a senior and was invited by Lin Hong's mentor. If Lin Hong can't say something convincing, then It will definitely make Jin Shan, a famous actor, feel emotional.

But worry is nothing to worry about, they still admire Lin Hong in their hearts.Many new directors dare not easily stop the old actors in the early stage of directing, let alone talk about the play, because they are actually not confident, and they don't know whether their understanding will be better than the old actors.

But Lin Hong didn't hesitate, he is the director, this is his play, and he is Lin Hong sitting in the director's chair.

Here he is the biggest!

"Mr. Jin, your performance is fine, but I want to try another way of expressing it. I don't know which one is better. I will compare it when editing later. So..."

"No problem, Director Lin, tell me how to act, I will cooperate with you!"

Jin Shan obeyed without waiting for Lin Hong to finish his explanation. This was not just his professionalism, but Lin Hong's professionalism in the past two days made him feel that this young director had a promising future.

"What do you think if you drank a lot of water after going down the mountain, and then took a long rest before carrying a little water up the mountain? What I want you to show is pleasure, disdain, and indifference."

Hey, Jinshan thinks it is interesting to express emotions that are completely different from anger, no, it is more interesting, this is definitely a good idea.

"Okay, I know how to act."

After speaking, Jinshan took two bottles of mineral water and poured them directly into his stomach. He felt that it was not enough and added another bottle.

"Mr. Jin, enough is enough, don't hurt your stomach."

Lin Hong admired Jinshan's professional attitude very much. He didn't suggest to let him drink water, but he thought of going ahead, and he drank three bottles in one breath.

"It's okay. I used to drink a bottle of Erguotou for filming before. What are three bottles of water?"

After drinking three bottles of water, Jin Shan jumped on the spot a few times, and he returned to the shooting location only after he felt the feeling of water distension, and Xing Wei had already drained a lot of water from the two buckets .

When shooting again, Jin Shan entered the camera with a big belly carrying water. His body was a bit awkward, his legs seemed to be crossed as he walked, and the two buckets were dangling. He seemed to be in a hurry, but he didn’t dare to walk fast. His expression was a little distorted, and he wanted to laugh, but he couldn't help but become distorted again.

The mood is wrong, shouldn't it be the joy I just said, shouldn't it be the pride of a successful prank?

Could something be wrong?Lin Hong should have called for a cut at this time, but if Jin Shan really felt unwell, he would have asked to suspend the filming. Since he didn't, it was not a big problem, so Lin Hong decided to continue filming.

Seeing that Lin Hong didn't yell "cut", the others could only continue with their work.

The fat monk finally climbed the steps and entered the kitchen in an extremely awkward posture. As soon as he put the bucket away, he rushed into the bathroom. Lin Hong finally realized what happened just now, and he signaled the camera to follow with a flash of inspiration.

Naturally, Zeng Shuming followed Lin Hong's lead, and his camera chased to the door of the bathroom. Fortunately, this Longshan Temple was originally built in an antique style, and the door of the bathroom is also the kind of ancient wooden door, so there is no problem of passing through.

There was a drizzling sound from the bathroom, everyone knew what it was doing.

Half a minute later, when Jin Shan came out of the bathroom, he suddenly found that the camera lens was facing him. Although he was puzzled, he quickly returned to the scene.At this time, his face was relaxed and happy, and he was proud of the horseshoe, and then he swayed and poured two half buckets of water into the big water tank.

"cut!"

Hearing Lin Hong yelling to stop, Jin Shan immediately ran over.

"I'm sorry, Director Lin, I was too anxious to drink water just now. I didn't feel it at first. I felt the urge to pee when I squatted down to carry water. I'm embarrassed to stop if you don't tell me to stop. In addition, when I went up the steps, I felt the need to urinate. I was afraid of dropping the bucket, so I entered the kitchen and rushed to the bathroom. Then I drank water again and took pictures again!"

Jin Shan said that he wanted to continue to take water, Lin Hong stopped Jin Shan's hand, he really respected and felt sorry for such an actor.

"No need for Mr. Jin, your part is very good, believe me, it's even better than what I just asked for, really, your unintentional performance can definitely become a classic part."

Liu Jinshan was skeptical, so Lin Hong dragged him to the monitor to watch the replay, and the others also gathered around to watch.I don't know who couldn't help laughing, and then no one in the whole set could hold back anymore, everyone laughed wildly, and while laughing, they still didn't forget to give Jin Shan a thumbs up, which means "Mr. Batch!"

Jin Shan originally thought that he would not be used to being in a crew of young people, but now he feels that he is also a young man, and he has not encountered such a crew atmosphere for a long time.Everyone loves their work, they are very professional, and they are willing to make each other better and more brilliant. This is the crew he dreams of. He thought that only the crews of big productions and big directors can meet him, but this is just a fledgling student. Director.

The future can be expected, and it is absolutely expected!

After laughing, the scene of carrying water in the kitchen is over.That's right, it's over. Lin Hong doesn't plan to have a happy ending like in the cartoon, so that the three monks can reflect on their selfishness, and then cooperate sincerely to drink water. This is unrealistic.

Because the river was at the foot of the mountain, it was too late for the temple to get water to put out the fire, so it was logical that the temple was burned down, and the three monks would not have the possibility of reconciling and rebuilding the temple. Find a temple to place an order to seek refuge.

After the kitchen scene was filmed, the crew moved to the second location - the main hall.

The main hall is also a very important scene. The three monks have to do their homework here; the thin monk has to order the handsome monk to carry water here; The monk and the handsome monk reached a tacit agreement in an instant and asked the fat monk to carry water; the three of them endured hunger and thirst and did not carry water.

These literary plays are not difficult for the three professional actors, and there are almost no lines.That's right, the original animation had no lines, but the live-action version of Lin Hong still added lines, but they all strived to be more concise, saying one less word if he could, in order to express the alienation of the characters.

The progress of the shooting was very fast, and it took only one hour on the third day to shoot all the shots.Then Lin Hong took some close-ups of Buddha statues and incense cases. He also made a lot of close-ups of the overall appearance of the temple, so as to make a special effect of a mouse knocking over the candlestick and then burning the temple. This small special effect is not difficult. Lin Hong even There is no need to find a special effects company, Zhang Wentong can do it after returning to Beijing Film Studio.

After finishing all this, the cameraman Zeng Shuming checked all the clips and archived them. Lin Hong announced that the shooting of the Longshan Temple scene would be completed one day ahead of schedule.

The shooting task of Longshan Temple accounted for 85% of the whole play, and the rest only needed to find a stone-paved mountain path and a small river, and there were many of these in Hengdian.

Because everyone has formed a tacit understanding in the past few days, the scenes of carrying water by the river and carrying water know how to express accurately. The three monks rarely have ng, so they finished shooting these scenes in one afternoon.

Director Lin Hong checked the script and the shooting schedule repeatedly to confirm that everything he wanted had been filmed, and he excitedly announced that the crew of "Three Monks" had finished filming!
