Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 2167 Shaping the Villain

Changes often start with a small thing. While Neon Entertainment News is focusing on reporting on "Onmyoji" and starring Yakushi Maru Hiroko, Lin Daoqiu is busy filming "007:M".

Most of the filming work was handed over to Brian DePalma, while Lin Daoqiu was only in charge of the plot of the villain played by Zeng Jiang.

Even this time, Lin Daoqiu didn't even avoid suspicion. The villain directly used Mr. Li's name. As for who this Li is, we have to look at the details in the movie.

After falling out with Baodao, Lin Daoqiu couldn't care so much, anyway, it was right to pour all the dirty water on Li Zhengnan's head.

The exaggeration in film and television dramas sometimes really makes people believe that a lie told a hundred times will be taken as the truth. This is the experience Lin Daoqiu learned in later generations.

In Lin Daoqiu's writing, the Mr. Li in "007: M" will naturally not have a good image. He is moody, will kill people if he is slightly unsatisfactory, and is very suspicious and sometimes crazy. His goal is Get rid of the boss of Yingjili, and then arrange the puppet he prepared to replace him, a proper super villain.

After filming for several days, Zeng Jiang handled the character written by Lin Daoqiu very well, and showed the other party's bad behavior to the fullest, which made people gnash their teeth.

Sophie Marceau plays the most roles with Zeng Jiang. In "007: M", she is the adopted daughter raised by Zeng Jiang since she was a child. Her cruelty is also learned from the other party.

Sophie Marceau has been making literary and drama films before, and she really didn't have much interest in this kind of commercial films at the beginning.

If it weren't for being able to cooperate with Lin Daoqiu, and the other party specially arranged a villain role for her, Sophie Marceau really didn't want to take this role.

"Although you are a big villain, there is an essential difference between you and Mr. Li. Mr. Li is a big villain. He will use any means to achieve his goals. No matter who stands in his way, he will get rid of them, including you. ..."

"But if you play the same role as Mr. Li, you will be assimilated, so you have to show something different from him, otherwise it will be difficult for you to play this role."

Lin Daoqiu doesn't want Sophie Marceau to play the big villain too deadly. Although they are also villains, some villains make people like and feel distressed, while others want him to die immediately.

What Lin Daoqiu wants Sophie Marceau to show is the former, while Mr. Li is the latter.

Sophie Marceau nodded as she listened. What Lin Daoqiu wanted her to express was very specific, so she could find a way to present it according to Lin Daoqiu's request.

What Sophie Marceau is most afraid of is the kind of director who doesn't even know what kind of effect he wants to achieve. He keeps letting the other party act, and he is not satisfied after acting many times. In the end, it is just a waste of time.

After several days of continuous shooting, Lin Daoqiu was quite satisfied with the results. At least Sophie Marceau had the effect she wanted, while Zeng Jiang was getting better and better, which was beyond Lin Daoqiu's expectations.

Mr. Li's role in "007:M" is very important, but he doesn't have much time to appear, most of the time he hides behind the scenes, and usually uses voice to perform, only appearing in the final part of the high court .

So Zeng Jiang didn't really have much time to appear on camera, and after two weeks of filming, his part was over.

After the filming of Zeng Jiang's scenes was finished, Lin Daoqiu called Brian DePalma over after editing, and asked him to take a look at the scenes he had filmed.

After all, Brian DePalma is the director of "007: M", and this part of the play is the most critical part of "007: M". It might be very difficult to connect well, even in the movie it will become very abrupt.

In the process of watching, Brian DePalma's expression was very focused, because it was related to his connection with the entire "007: M" and subsequent filming work.

I have to say that compared with Lin Daoqiu, Brian DePalma feels that there are many differences between the two in making movies.

Lin Daoqiu is obviously more careful than him in the handling of details. Lin Daoqiu will give very clear shots of the parts of the shots and the expressions and movements of the characters.

What Brian DePalma didn't know was that the reason why Lin Daoqiu did this was to deepen the audience's impression of Mr. Li as a villain and make everyone hate him.

No matter what bad things he did, he had to amplify his portrayal to achieve the effect he wanted to present.

After the film was over, Brian DePalma felt as if he had been taught a lesson.

"I have always heard that Mr. Lin is very good at making movies. After seeing it with my own eyes this time, I feel that all the rumors outside are true."

Brian DePalma admires Lin Daoqiu very much. He even thinks that if Lin Daoqiu is willing to direct the whole "007: M" in person, then Brian DePalma believes that this movie will definitely become the best movie of "007". One of the classics.

"Mr. Palma is too polite. This is only a part of the plot of "007: M", and most of the rest of the filming work has to be directed by you. After I finish shooting these, the work of "007: M" on my side will be It has ended."

Lin Daoqiu naturally wouldn't direct this movie, otherwise he wouldn't have asked Brian De Palma to entrust him with important tasks.

"Mr. Lin, please don't worry. After watching this part of the plot you filmed, I believe it will be of great help to my next creation of this drama."

Brian DePalma now just wants to take this tape back to the hotel and watch it repeatedly, learn something from it that he didn't have before, and can also provide some good suggestions for the follow-up filming work.

"I believe that Mr. Palma will definitely be able to make this movie well. If I didn't believe in you, I wouldn't have invited you to direct this movie. I have other filming work here. I'm afraid it will be very hard during this period is you."

Brian DePalma nodded. Lin Daoqiu's refusal to intervene in the follow-up filming work was regarded as the greatest respect for him, and he naturally would not have any objections to this.

After Brian DePalma left, Lin Daoqiu led the snake Fang Jinsheng out of the screening room, and he will probably spend most of his time in the Taiqin Film Village in Kyoto.

Because "Onmyoji" will enter the formal filming stage, if he, the director, is not around, it may be difficult to do many things.

And this time, in addition to the director Lin Daoqiu, he naturally had to find some shooting assistants from Neon, such as the assistant director.
