Chapter 291： Production angle

Standing behind the camera, Evan-Bell frowned slightly, his left hand was accustomed to spinning on the ring finger of his right hand, and he was concentrating on watching the rivalry between Nata Lì-Bōtman and Ryan-Gosling.

When I was an actor, I looked at the camera to see if my performance was in place: But since Evan Bell started shooting MVs, when I was a director, what I saw when I looked at the camera was a whole new world, with not only actors, but also actors. There is the entire picture recorded by the camera lens, such as the composition of the picture, such as the sè tone, such as the deep meaning contained in this shot. For an outstanding director, there should be no wasted shots, and even transition shots must be part of the plot and even the idea.

Similarly, as a producer now, Evan Bell's perspective also includes the director's perspective, especially after setting aside the cost concerns, the overlap between the producer's perspective and the director's perspective is getting higher and higher. This also made Evan Bell realize for the first time the huge difference between being a director, a producer and an actor in the same movie.

To put it simply, the director is the leader responsible for the artistic creation of the film, and he will be responsible for the creation of the entire film: the producer is the general director of film production management, who is in charge of all the processes of film production. The director is the specific executor, and the producer is the manager. Therefore, the director and the producer have contradictions and conflicts, but they also have something in common, especially when the two have the same goal and the same ideological angle, the concepts of the director and the producer often coincide.

To give an example of the difference and connection between a director and a producer, at the Oscars, the award recipient for best director is the director himself, while the producer accepts the award for best picture on stage.

This is the first time Evan Bell has watched an independent film from the perspective of overall planning, so he does not have the control of most commercial filmmakers who keep everything in the palm of his hand, nor does he always think about the box office , The profit idea of ​​commercial promotion. Evan Bell simply hopes to be able to shoot "Deadly Identity" and present a work that will amaze everyone, and this is enough, which keeps the pace of action between Evan Bell and director James Mangold Consistent, for the crew to build a harmonious atmosphere.

This scene is to film Louise played by Ryan Gosling and Keeney played by Nata Lì-Bōterman. The two got married in Las Vegas nine hours ago. Keeney tricked Louis into getting pregnant in exchange for this marriage. But at this point, under the fear of death, Ginny breaks down and tells Louis the truth. The two quarreled in the room, with Ginny hiding in the bathroom while Louis vented his anger outside the door.

Louis patted the bathroom door frantically, and he was obviously stunned by his anger. "Kinnie, you open the door to this motherfucker."

"Unless you calm down!" Ginny roared frantically from the bathroom.

"I'm calm!" Luis' face was full of sullen madness. "Lou can't be more calm." Every time he said a word, he slammed the weak door panel in front of him, making Ginny Thurse hiding in the bathroom. trembling.

Suddenly, there was no sound outside the bathroom door. Ginny realized something was wrong and asked timidly, "The way?"

"Pause!" James-Mangold stopped, looking at Ryan-Gosling and Nata Lì-Bōterman who were standing next door, thoughtfully, "The performance just now was wrong, the mood was wrong. The tension should be amplified, facing the threat of death, at the same time the relationship between the two of you is on the verge of breaking down, and all emotions will go into madness.

"Speaking of this, James-Mangold paused and said, "Evan, what do you think?" "Evan Bell, who was standing behind James Mangold, looked up at Ryan Gosling and Nata Lì bō Terman, who had walked in front of the camera, "James, you are asking about my actor's position, Or the position of the producer? The surrounding staff all laughed in a low voice, and James-Manlod also turned around with a strong smile, "What's the difference? "It's very simple, if it's the producer's position, I'll listen to you. "Evan Bell explained briskly that on the set, the producer should not challenge the director's authority, and if the two sides have any opinions that need to be communicated, they can be resolved in a good way, but on the set, the producer should take the initiative to maintain the director's role as an actor and at work. The absolute power in front of the personnel, which is very important for the filming of the film. "If it is the actor's position, I think you are very reasonable. "Although Evan-Bell's two-sentence conclusion is "James, you are right", the different positions directly reflect the differences in decision making. The producer's position, Evan-Bell does not intend to express any opinion, everything is based on James One Mangold is the main: the actor's position, Evan One Bell then expressed his opinion, and felt that James Mangold's idea was correct.

James Mangold smiled knowingly at Evan Bell's words and said, "Tell me what you think of this scene as an actor."

Evan-Bell shrugged and turned his attention to Ryan-Gosling. As an actor, it's normal to communicate with each other. "I think your knocking on the door should be firmer, and your tone can be a little more restrained. You know. , all the anger is burning in your heart, but in order to attract Ginny out, you have to suppress yourself. That kind of anger deep in your heart." In fact, Ryan Gosling's performance just now was very good, Evan Bell Just expressing my opinion.

After speaking, Evan Yibel looked at Nata Lì Yi Bō Terman again, and only said one sentence, "I think you should burst into tears." This sentence made Nata Lì Yi Bō Terman think carefully. , In this film, the eleven characters all represent a personality of McCann-Rive, and this personality must have a profound internal meaning. For example, the character of Ginny, a young wife, tells her husband that she has a child and tries to use the child to save the marriage. This is a character who hopes to become a mother but regrets not being pregnant. At the same time, she is a little nervous and anxious. This is a projection of McCann-Rive's profile on his prostitute mother.

Therefore, the character of Ginny should be full of motherly love, neurotic, crazy, obedient to her husband, facing the situation at this time, because the false pregnancy lies were exposed, and because her life was threatened, and at the same time, she was also worried about the newlyweds. Her husband's fear drove Ginny into a frenzy.

At the same time, the tears streaming down her face was another outlet for Gini's character's ambivalence, cowardice, and madness.

Nata lì-bōtman couldn't help but glance at Evan-Bell, including the sentence he pointed to Ryan-Gosling just now, all of which showed Evan-Bell's deep understanding of acting skills. From the perspective of producer and director, Wen Yibeier has a very clear understanding of the influence of actors on the whole play, and has his own ideas for training actors.

Both Nata Lì-Bōtman and Ryan-Gosling understood this, and their eyes were slightly different when they looked at Evan-Bell. Ryan-Gosling smiled and nodded to Evan Bell, expressing his gratitude: Nata lì-bōterman just gave Evan-Bell a meaningful look, as if to express his appreciation for Evan-Bell's progress in acting. admiration.

James-Mangold looked at Evan-Bell with great interest, "Evan, if you are in the director's position, how do you think this scene should be shot?" Evan-Bell looked at James-Bell in surprise. Mangold found that the other party's eyes were full of interest, and he was like a musician communicating, so he made his tone lighter and expressed his views. After all, since the shooting of the MV, he has been talking to the director. This position is quite interesting. "If it were me, I would place the camera on the door panel of the bathroom, with the door panel as the center line, and divide the realization into two halves, with Louis on the left and Ginny on the right." As he said, Evan Bell is using gestures while making gestures. To become a director, you must have a clear understanding of split shots. Evan Bell is cultivating this awareness of himself. "When Louis knocks on the door, the picture can create a slight vibration, you Know what I mean." Evan Bell gave James Mangold a look, and the chubby uncle nodded. "Using this direct picture contrast, as well as the language of the camera, convey the sense of confrontation and fear." "So how do you shoot the next scene of Louis' murder?" James Mangold asked in a guiding tone. James Mangold discovered Evan Bell's idea of ​​controlling the camera, and often the collision of two people's thoughts can create a **** and bring fire, and Evan Bell fully supports his work, even if there are differences , Evan-Bell must also shoot according to his own ideas. Therefore, James Mangold is very happy to communicate with Evan Bell.

Evan Bell's left hand covered the ring finger of his right hand again, thinking for a while, "When Louis is silent, Ginny can stick to the door and listen Then Louis knocked on the door again, Ginny was so frightened that she fell down on the toilet, and the camera naturally took the panorama of the bathroom." After speaking, Evan Yier began to build a picture in his mind. Although this shooting method is feasible, Evan Yibel Still feeling the inadequacy, he shook his head, "No, no, no, this method of shooting can certainly create a god, but in the second or two when Louis did not move, the sense of suspense of the horror disappeared, and the rendering of the atmosphere would appear too much. In a hurry... After finishing speaking, Evan Bell nodded himself, "James, just ignore me, just shoot it according to your ideas. …,

James Mangold laughed, "No, Evan, you're right.

In fact, your idea is very novel, and it has its own advantages with my original idea of ​​split shots. My idea has the effect of gradually advancing the rendering of the horror atmosphere, but your idea has a prominent effect on the creation of the confrontation atmosphere. Having said that, James Mangold gave Evan Bell a thoughtful look and said, "Each scene can be shot by a different director, which can create a different effect. That's the charm of a director. There is no absolute right, only shooting around the director's idea is the most correct. "

Evan-Bell nodded slowly, obviously still digesting these words in his head, but he said, "The director of this movie is you, of course it's going according to your ideas. "When the outbreak was going on, I cried and asked to subscribe wow!!.
