Chapter 77: Act better

As night fell, the street was brightly lit, and the balcony of the hotel room, Wang Yangwei sat frowning on the wicker chair, writhing the little cube in the middle, but his mind was clearly not here, just mechanically twisting move. It's been a month since the crew of "When Happiness Comes Knocking" turned on. During this month, the crew shuttled between San Francisco and Oakland. Every day, they were advancing the shooting of the location and part of the transportation scene. , The overall film
The filming process is almost halfway through. Although they are all film films, compared with "High School Musical", the filming of this film is much more difficult, no matter which aspect. On the scene, "High School Musical" is in several places such as school and home. There are no street scenes, no city chase scenes, and no transportation such as buses, taxis, subways, etc., and "When Happiness Comes to Knock" All. These plays bring
The difficulty is first reflected in the shooting conditions. The crew must close the road, shoot on the subway, and change the blue seat on the car to brown ... This requires communication, with street merchants, subway companies, etc. Wait. At the time of shooting, these shots are a new experience for Wang Yang. Sitting in a camera car, following a driving taxi, the lens shoots Will Smith who twists the cube in the car. In order to let Will master the skills of the cube, the crew I also specially invited the devil
Fang master taught him; but in the performance, it was quite smooth, Will Smith and Terry Smith are the true father-son relationship, the warmth between them, without interpretation, will naturally appear in front of the camera, Terry Smith is even more of an instinct performance. In many cases, he "plays" better than his father, Will Smith.
In order to make the two fathers and sons play more sense, Wang Yang finished all the shots of Chris's wife "Linda", and then Jada Pinkett took Jaden Smith to return to Luojiji first. Terry's "abandoned" atmosphere. But today I filmed a scene where Chris and his son were in the toilet of the subway station. After many shots, Wang Yang was not satisfied. He always felt that something was missing. Will Smith's expression and expression seem to be in place, but Wang Yang feels that Will's input is not enough, he can perform better.
Putting down the Rubik's cube, Wang Yang took out his phone and dialed a number. Looking at the moon looming in the sky, as soon as it was connected, he smiled and said: qu; hello, Mr. Zemikis, I am Wang Yang. qu; Immediately, there was a heartfelt laughter from Robert Zemeckis on the phone: "Haha, Yang! What's the problem this time? Or would you like to chat?" Wang Yang smiled softly and said: "In fact , There is indeed a problem. "
Ever since he met the most bogey director and his idol at the charity dinner, Wang Yang couldn't figure out anything about the film or the director. He often communicated with Robert Zemikis. Robert was very enthusiastic without eating, pointing at him like a teacher without reservation. Recently, because of the filming, Wang Yang has consulted Zemikis many times. He seems to be a free remote producer, and let Wang Yang learn a lot.
"That's it, I want to ask, how can I make the actor's emotions more engaged?" Wang Yang asked the question in his heart, and explained: "Today I shot a set of shots. When Chris came to the worst of life, Without money to pay the rent, he and his son will spend the night in the subway toilet ... I always feel that Will's performance is missing a little bit, probably because of the input, I have explained a lot, but it is useless. "
Robert Zemikis thought over there for a while and said, "Boy, the little thing you think is missing may not be related to the performance. You know, there is not only an actor in a scene, sometimes a prop The effect is much stronger than hard-working performances. "Wang Yang listened, admittedly, and said:" Well, it's like the feathers in The Forrest Gump. "Robert Zemikis laughed. And again: "Zoom in to the whole movie, the performance is only a part of it, the editing of the lens, the soundtrack, these all make the performance valuable, we are not in the silent film era now, you try to watch the movie with the sound, you Will not feel the martial arts, the Holy King, the sacred king, the night kills the seal, the throne, and the strongest abandonment of the young and big Zhou Dynasty. The night kills the god seal, the throne and the strongest abandon the young, big week. Qiankun will kill the gods and seals the throne in the night and ask the devil to prosper in the Ninth Heaven and the strongest to abandon the young Dazhou royal family to make gods.
"Also, the actors' performances are often in our hands. We communicate with the photographers and the editors. The front close-up lens, he takes the Oscar: the side close-up lens, he takes the golden sour plum." Robert -Zemikis laughed and continued: "Why does a film let the director make the decision? Because we control everything. I do n’t mean that performance is not important, we all know the importance of performance; but you do n’t want to It ’s impossible to have the best film effect at the shooting site. You think something missing is outside the scene. "
Wang Yang nodded silently. He did seem to have some transitions that depended on individual performances. He forgot that the performances were complementary. The same is true for the plot biographical film. The movie does not end with the actor acting. The design of the picture, the language of the lens, and the post-editing are all the "performance" of the director. The director controls all of the movie.
"Of course, we can pursue as much as we can. This is our director's responsibility."
Robert Zemikis chuckled happily before returning to Wang Yang ’s first question:
You ask how to make the actor more engaged. Since no matter how you explain, you still think Will is not enough, you can use common sense to let him Do n’t think about Chris, just think about your own things, something that is worthy of sadness, as long as the effect we need is all right. Ao, have you tried this yet?
Wang Yang nodded and said,
Well, we tried Now. "
Robert Zemikis was quiet for a few seconds over there, and with a new idea, go to: "Play-music!" Wang Yang froze: "Play music?" Robert explained with a smile: "Yes, you Take a recorder or something and put it on the scene, play the right music, and let the music drive Will's emotions. "
play music? Wang Yang could not help blinking his eyes, the music can definitely stimulate emotions, "Black Sunday" can even make people commit suicide, this method sounds really good! He smiled: "Okay, I will try it tomorrow, thank you, Mr. Zemikis."
At this time, the mobile phone on the wicker chair rang, Wang Yang picked it up and saw that the caller ID was from Jessica. While he connected, he walked over to the railing and said, "Hi, Jessica ?good evening."
"Yang, good evening." Jessica's beautiful voice came, and she said excitedly: "We are going to kill tomorrow." Wang Yang sighed: "I have at least one month here" "" I heard her happily say: "Yang, I found that my count of NG is much lower than that of" High School Musical 1 ", you said that my acting has improved, or Sarah's requirements are low?" Wang Yang laughed: " It ’s definitely not the latter reason, I ’m pretty sure! I ’m such a great performer, so insignificant role, Sarah actually NG me 10 times, she is more strict than me.

Jessica smiled happily and paused. She suddenly asked softly, "Will I come to San Francisco to see you?" Wang Yang thought about it and agreed: "Come on, but Jessie. Card, you know that I am a producer and director. I almost manage all the things in the crew, so I do n’t have time to accompany you.
Jessica quickly explained that I knew:
I just like to see you, you do n’t need to control me , I ’ll stay for one day. Young, I miss you, we have n’t seen each other for a month and a half. "
Listening to her gentle voice, Wang Yang's sweet smile faintly appeared in front of him. He felt warm in his heart and said to the mobile phone: "It's been a month and a half? You said it now, and I felt it was terrible ..."
Will Smith's face was blank, his eyes reddened, and his mouth trembling slightly. Wang Yang raised the conversation machine in his other hand, and said very quietly, "knock on the door"
The toilet door was "banged" and was knocked from the outside. UU reading www.uukanshu.com Will Smith looked at the discolored toilet door. His face was blank and painful. He covered his son's ear, and Supporting those who are still ringing with their feet, their heads come and go, and their red eyes leave a line of tears.
Wang Yang's heart couldn't help but look at Will Smith who was crying silently. It's great to hold the recorder secretly and hard! Will's silent crying performance can definitely be shown in a close-up, instead of drawing into the perspective as the original version and then hastily ended. Waiting until Will Smith burst into tears, his head against the wall looking at the lamp in the toilet, Wang Yang shouted happily: "u! Great!" He praised again with excitement: "Will-this It's a film-level performance! "
After receiving the shutdown instruction, Vary-Fette pressed the camera and laughed and praised, "Will, I all want to cry. Your performance is very touching."
Wang Yang smiled and said, "Terry, did you see it? This is where the acting is fun, and the movie is fun." As he said, he went to the toilet and greeted Vale-Fister: "Okay , I'm making some distant shots! "He told Will-Smith again:" Will, just like before, finally looked up at the lamp, and the picture was good. "
