Chapter 2164

The small town of SNIM is like a paradise isolated from the world. There is no noise of vehicles, no noise of people, and even no human shadow. In this way, it is far away from the modern civilization of the city, wandering in the green ocean, letting the tense mood relax bit by bit.

Even more peaceful than the original "gravity" shooting base. After all, it's the shooting base of Warner Bros. although it's located in a remote area, occasionally you can see the cars and villagers coming and going, and occasionally you can see the fans who come to the pilgrimage. It's not noisy, but it's also lively.

But now the small town of SNIM is a pure Town, which is not widely known for the time being. It is just like a paradise in the world. It's so quiet that time has settled down. No wonder people often say that there is no time in the mountains, so they can't notice the push of the torrent of time and everything slows down.

After arriving at the cast, the actors began to practice the script, but this practice is slightly different from the past.

According to the Convention, the actors are familiar with the characters and each other by reading the script; At the same time, the director modifies the performance according to his own needs and understanding, so that the actors can have a relatively clear framework for the performance style and context before the shooting, which can not only save time, but also save film. This is a very necessary link for a small cost independent drama group.

But the problem now is that the script of Eugene is still not finished, especially after entering the forest, it needs to be created while shooting, which also creates many problems for the script practice.

From the creative point of view, in fact, the main line of the plot has not changed much. The story is still the same story, and the parts that need to be modified have been completed; But from the perspective of performance, the real change is the lines, emotions, conditions and other performance details.

For example, when facing the same scene, David might have responded like this in the original script, but now that the character setting has changed, the lines need to be adjusted, or the mood is not the same - these are the parts of the creation that Eugene will need to complete while shooting in the future, This is also the reason why the script has not been completely created and the film can be made on the spot.

However, the script practice can not be carried out smoothly: because the character's mood and state can not be determined.

In the end, the script practice evolved into another form, the discussion meeting.

In fact, it's just like the discussion between Langley and oggs at the beginning. Everyone expresses their own views on the plot and the role, and explores the other side's views from the actors of the opposite play, so as to interpret the story and the core from different angles——

In the context of Engels, he hopes to maintain the diversity and complexity of the whole story, and has the possibility of extending in different directions. Then, only relying on the wisdom of Engels or Langley, there must be limitations, because everyone's thinking has its own limitations and blind spots, Only in this way can we truly present a colorful social level. So, Lan Li took the initiative to put forward such an idea.

Mr. oggs reserved his attitude. He felt that such a colorful discussion way would easily deviate from the framework and eventually deviate from his original intention. Then the style of the whole film would become complicated, which was not worth the loss; But he didn't object. He opened up the possibility.

Not long after that, Eugene understood Langley's intention:

The cast of the whole cast was set up after oggs nodded his head, and each actor was selected for a special reason. The fit between them and the characters was the most valued by oggs. In other words, there were similarities between them and the characters, which enabled them to develop their own ideas on the basis of the fit with the style of oggs, Let the characters plump up bit by bit, and the story level will be enriched.

Here, Augus must face a serious challenge - how to control the propriety.

Just like the original script of "Jurassic world", the greed of biological and chemical weapons, the ambition of human beings to boast of God, the importance of respecting the humanity of life and family belonging make the whole story extremely huge and greedy, but nothing can be told well, which weakens the meaning of the story; Later, the script was revised to refine the core, and fluency and concentration were also guaranteed.

But compared with "Jurassic world", the pattern and attribute of "lobster" has inherent advantages, because the depth of thought itself is hidden in the background of the whole story, and there is no need to excavate or heighten it, and there is no need to carve the route of the plot.

Now, what Eugene needs to do is not to greedily add content, but to give the actors enough space to play on the basis of the original story, and then modify some lines, so that the performance can fit in with the background of the story and derive the character's own flesh and blood. The ultimate goal is to make the setting of this "Utopia" more delicate and emotional, This is enough to achieve a strong reflective effect.

Of course, it is easy to talk on paper, but difficult to operate in practice. There is still a lot of work to be done.

The script practice lasted for two weeks, which was far more than expected - according to the original plan, the maximum practice was five days, and then we had to shoot directly. However, the development of things gradually gave rise to unlimited possibilities, just like the characters of David and women have their own attributes, and other characters also have their own single thread.

It must be emphasized that the original setting for a group of supporting actors in the play is correct, and there is no need to make large-scale changes like David and women; Now, script practice has given these lines a clearer and more accurate definition, giving the performance a clearer direction, which is good for the actors.

Sharpening your ax will not delay your job of cutting wood. Extended script practice provides a solid foundation for actual shooting, just like repeated rehearsals before the formal performance of a stage play.

When the film finally officially started shooting, you can feel this subtle change from the first scene.

"He thinks this pair of brown shoes is the most suitable choice. He has some pain in his back, but different from the past, it is no longer the unbearable pain."

"He thought to himself, his wife chose to leave for the sake of love, so what did he insist on for? He didn't cry for it, and he didn't think that the first reaction when others were facing the separation was to cry. It can't be said that he is full of hope, but at least he is not full of bitterness. "

Rachel sat on an old dark brown sofa, reciting in a smooth and cold tone, slightly up and down, but couldn't find much hidden emotion, just like a cold looking God's perspective.

Although Rachel's "shortsighted woman" does not appear until the second half of the forest, the narrative perspective of the whole story is David, which is worthy of being the absolute core; But at the end of the story, we can find that it is the myopic women who really grasp the development trend of the story——

From the first act of the story, she appeared as a narrator, but not from the narrator's point of view, but from the God's point of view. This also means that from the beginning, she calculated everything, and then according to her own pace, attracted David step by step.

This superior perspective of controlling the overall situation is also the reason why Eugene put his core role on the role of "short-sighted woman" at the beginning.

Now, Rachel is trying to interpret the narrator in her own way - in fact, she has entered the short-sighted women's performance mode.

Calm, introverted, objective, not too much emotion, but not cold, more is a kind of rationality.

The first scene hasn't officially started yet. Rachel's narration will be recorded in the later stage. Her present demonstration is more to help the actors and the whole atmosphere enter the state.

After the narration, Rachel pauses and looks at oggs. "Director, are you sure you want to add the last sentence? I always think it's a spoiler. Tell too clearly, is it to destroy the surprise? It doesn't match the tone of the movie, does it? "

Oggs took off the headset on his ear and shook his head at Rachel. "No, we need some spoilers. As for the ex-wife part, we will not deliberately mention it later. Therefore, we need to bury clues for the audience to speculate about the relationship between David and his ex-wife. Now the information from the spoiler is still too little for the audience. On the contrary, they will find it strange, and then slowly dig out more things from the follow-up stories. To avoid speaking out, we need to put clues in different places. "

Rachel calmed down and pondered for a moment. "You mean we all know the whole story now, so we're very sensitive to these clues; But if it's the audience, they're just confused? "

Oggs gave Rachel a smile of affirmation.

Eugene draws back his eyes and is about to announce the start of shooting, only to notice that Rachel shows more doubts and interrupts the rhythm of Eugene again; Instead of rushing to open his mouth, he cast his eyes and asked patiently, "is there any question?"

"Yes." Rachel answered in the affirmative, "why did his wife leave him?" Rachel pointed to lenley. "I know the truth. Even a handsome guy can be abandoned, but it has no sense of substitution for the audience. How can he persuade the audience that his wife has left? He doesn't have a beer belly, he doesn't have a slovenly appearance, and he doesn't have the image of a greasy middle-aged man. That's not right. He's too much... "

"Scholar?" Blue Li took over the topic with a smile.

Rachel nodded. "Yes, scholar! He looks like a harmless... Big boy. I can't see why his wife left him. "
