Chapter 554

"Detached" shooting is finally on the right track. Strictly speaking, it can't be regarded as the right track, but it can only be said that it has officially entered the shooting stage, because Tony's working style can be said to be erratic, and they never know what the "right track" is.

Sometimes, Tony is very strict. He puts forward strict requirements for light, angle, lens and lines, especially lines. He does not like any form of free creation. He must strictly follow the lines of the script. Even the synonymous replacement of a word is not allowed. For every play, we are critical and keep improving.

But sometimes, he is very casual. In the middle of shooting, he suddenly stops, overturns all the shooting plans and starts all over again; There are no requirements for the performance style and style of the actors. He will even give the actors enough space to perform in different ways, and then choose the most suitable one.

Everyone in the crew is trying to adapt to Tony's work style, and everyone is running in and out of stumbling, which leads to the failure of shooting speed.

This kind of shooting experience is brand new for lanli. He has never met such a type of director. Of course, his own shooting experience is very limited; But it's also exciting because Tony is constantly challenging his bottom line, his ability and his understanding.

When shooting the first scene on the first day, lenley shot five times at last, not because of mistakes, but because the emotions in the performance process were always fine tuned, always looking for the most suitable rhythm and mode, hoping to achieve the effect Tony desired. It's hard to imagine that a passing scene was shot four times without any lines, any conflicts and any hot spots.

This way of shooting can be simply called burning film.

But obviously, Tony doesn't care about the waste of film at all. What he asks for is perfection, constant repeated communication, repeated self-examination, not to pursue perfection, not to find the right, just to find the most suitable one.

For producers, it could be a disaster; But for Lan Li, this is good news. In such a simple first scene, lanli is constantly reworking, polishing his performance details bit by bit, pushing his performance limit bit by bit.

As a director, Tony set up the stage, and then gave lanli unlimited freedom, let him play, but also constantly ponder, put forward different requirements, carry out different attempts, really let lanli experience the pleasure of a fancy performance, will have learned, seen 18 kinds of martial arts, 36 kinds of changes all show.

This graduation examination has really become a stage for lanli to play wantonly.

However, such a way of shooting has always led to an unstable state for the crew. Sometimes the shooting progress is smooth and smooth, and seven to eight sets of scenes can be shot in one day, but sometimes it is bumpy and blocked everywhere, and one set of scenes may not be shot in three days.

When determining the intention of cooperation, Tony said that the shooting cycle of this work should be about one month. But now it seems that it's obviously an unreliable joke. It's not the question of whether the shooting cycle will be longer or shorter. It's Tony himself who doesn't know when he will be able to finish the shooting. With this fast and slow, uncertain shooting rhythm, it's estimated that no one can say whether he will be able to finish all the shooting within a month.

In recent days, the crew has been on the bar. After three days of shooting, there is still no progress. The work of the whole crew is in a standstill. Everyone in the crew is in a grumpy state. The whole crew is like an unstable powder keg. Even they don't know when it will explode.

The shooting difficulty of this play is "up", which is almost the most difficult one since the crew started. The content is the first meeting of Henry and Erica.

That night, Henry fell into insomnia and couldn't sleep. So he left the house and strolled outside for a while. When he came home again, he received a call from the hospital. His grandfather with Alzheimer's disease once again refused to come out of the health room. The hospital's nurses were helpless, so they called Henry, He was asked to go to the hospital.

This is not the first time it has happened.

Henry's mother committed suicide by taking medicine in the bathroom at home. At the age of seven, Henry was the first to find his mother's body. Later, Henry's grandfather saw his daughter's death with his own eyes. After that, his grandfather took the blame on himself and always thought that his daughter's death was his own fault. After suffering from Alzheimer's disease, he still remembered it. I often lock myself in the bathroom, then call my daughter's name, trying to save everything before her daughter commits suicide.

This is a very difficult situation. My grandfather didn't listen to others at all. Even Henry, he had to be patient and patient, and he had to make great efforts to persuade my grandfather out bit by bit.

Because of this, Henry asked the hospital to remove the toilet door lock to avoid such a situation. But obviously, the hospital care workers did not care at all and did not implement it; And every time there was a situation, but irresponsible, directly called Henry to deal with it. Tonight, again.

Henry tossed a lot, finally coax grandfather out, and coax him to bed. Then, Henry saw the sleepy, idle nurse, anger finally broke out, to nurse all the emotions to vent out, and severely threatened each other, this turned to leave.

In fact, Henry is not hard hearted. He noticed the embarrassment and embarrassment of the nurse. He also noticed the vulnerability and timidity of the nurse. She was like a stray dog shivering in the rainstorm. Under the heavy pressure of life, she had no strength to fight back. Even without any unnecessary attacks, she was scarred and tired. However, he still reluctantly poured down his anger and saw the tears of fear in each other's eyes. Then he gave up and went away.

It was a bumpy night, suffering from insomnia, which made his physical strength and energy bear a huge test; His grandfather's bad situation made him worried. The gray and decadent breath of death was overflowing little by little; And grandfather's obsession with his mother in his confusion once again awakened the nightmare in his mind, the nightmare of his mother lying naked in the bathroom.

That day was like drowning. The pain and suffering of struggling to float and sink on the surface of the water were deeply rooted in the corners of the soul, and never really cured. The long-term suffering had broken the soul, almost unsustainable, and every day seemed to linger. Live, but never really live.

On the bus home, Henry broke down in tears. All the sadness, bitterness and pain broke out. It was under such circumstances that he met Erica.

In this scene, Henry sees Erica in the back seat of a bus, serving a drunken drunkard. After the service, the drunkard was so confused that he didn't respond. Erica asked for his reward, but he got a slap in the face. Erica stood up wisely, turned around and saw Henry with tears all over his face, with pity and sympathy in his sad eyes. So Erica found a new prey, she decided to follow Henry, and then look for the opportunity to earn the first reward tonight.

The play itself has a lot of weight, about two minutes before and after; Moreover, this is not only Erica's debut, but also Henry's first collapse.

According to Langley's conception, Henry's emotion is revealed layer by layer and side by side, especially when facing the three female characters, the sense of hierarchy and depth presents the whole character in a three-dimensional way. Therefore, this part is even more important. It can be regarded as the first part of acting breaking out since the "detached" shooting.

Not only that, Tony's requirements for the play are also different. He is looking for a more suitable and mature lens to show the relationship between Erica and Henry. His thinking is not very clear and always wavering.

For a while, he hopes to take a panoramic photo inside the bus to capture the relationship between Henry and Erica from an all-round perspective; After a while, he hopes to capture the expression details of the two actors with close-up, but Erica's service is too large. Meanwhile, Sammy is still a minor, and some scenes can't be shot directly; After a while, he ran away from the bus and tried to record the emotions in the performance from an indirect perspective.

For two days, it was Tony who was struggling all the time. The actors didn't have time to play. Tony himself first rejected the semi-finished products, and then started all over again. As a result, the whole crew couldn't calm down to push forward. Before he could make progress, he went back to the original place and returned to zero.

What's more, the bus play took place at night. Tony insisted on real-time and on-the-spot shooting, so the crew had to put into work when the day and night were reversed. The busy work in the middle of the night had already exploded, but it didn't have any effect. It was really frustrating. The whole crew was in a bad state.

After entering the third day, Tony finally found some state, and the shooting could continue intermittently. However, there was a major problem with the performance state of Langley, and he could not meet the performance requirements of Tony, or Tony was not satisfied with the rhythm and state of Langley's performance.
