Coquettish Rebirth

Matt Damon has not followed the news of "Who Am I Remake" before.It’s not that he’s a big name and doesn’t care after the filming is over, but that he’s too devoted to another matter, so he doesn’t care about anything else in the world at all. It can be said that unless the earth is going to be destroyed, he won’t It doesn't feel like there's any big news happening.So what was he busy with during this period of time that made him so focused?Quite simply, he's making their own movie with his best friend Ben Affleck!

This movie tells the story of a troubled teenager who works as a cleaner at MIT, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.As for this troubled boy, he has a superhuman mathematical talent, but is very troublesome and rebellious. Then, with the help of another protagonist, the professor and his good friend Chuck, this powerful cleaner opened his heart and turned into a normal boy. Live a happy life.

This movie is called "Good Will Hunting". The protagonist of the problem boy is played by Matt Damon, but the role of the other professor is not played by Ben Affleck, because Affleck is not old enough, so Affleck Affleck became a good friend "Chuck", and because Affleck was going to act in a film like "Shakespeare in Love", he couldn't be the protagonist.

Why is this film said to be the film of Matt Damon and his good friend Affleck?Because it is very simple, this story is written by the two of them themselves!Both of them are screenwriters!Originally, they had wanted to write this script for a long time, but later, because of the filming of "Saving Private Ryan", they delayed it a little.And after the filming is over.This Matt Damon has been doing this thing with Ben Affleck.

Now this thing has been appreciated by Spielberg, so their book has been taken by DreamWorks, and then, this book has begun to enter the preparation stage, and Matt Damon, one of the main creators, wants to Talking about his ideas with the director, on the other hand, he still has to think about acting skills and other things, so he is really busy.He even had to cooperate with him to look at the casting, can he not be busy?

And today.He had been working on the script.When I was thinking about the role and acting skills, I received a call from my good friend Affleck—"Matt, shit. I just saw the advertisement of "Who Am I Remake" on TV. It's so good!" I'll go to DreamWorks to ask them for a commercial video. I'll bring it back for you to watch!" After finishing speaking, Affleck hung up the phone immediately.

This endless phone call made Matt Damon a little confused. The promotional video of "Who Am I Remake"?It's so good-looking, isn't it?Aren't the promotional videos of many movies very good-looking?And say no more.This promotional video is good-looking, as for saying that it is good to see it?Then, two hours later, Affleck came running in his car and knocked on the door of Matt Damon's apartment.

After Matt Damon opened the door, before he had time to say hello, Affleck broke into Damon's apartment excitedly without even saying hello!After coming in, the burly Affleck ignored Matt Damon at all, but walked directly to the home theater, turned on the TV and VCR on his own, and then played an unidentified video game. Know what tape is stuffed into the VCR!

"Are you messing around?" Matt Damon hurriedly closed the door, and followed him angrily and asked.But who knew that Affleck didn't answer his question at all, but took the remote control and sat on the sofa opposite the home theater, and then called Matt Damon, "Matt, come and see! It’s really good-looking!” Hearing what his good friend said, Matt Damon sat on the sofa with half-belief, ready to see how good-looking the good-looking promotional film Affleck said was.

Soon, a picture appeared on the TV. This picture was not a shot of a movie, but a title with white characters on a black background—"Who Am I Remake" TV commercial, 15 seconds.After seeing this thing, Matt Damon probably knew it. This must be something for the staff of the TV station. After all, it is impossible for the staff to say that when a program is going to be cut into commercials, they just grab a tape and come over. Advertisement?Just like movies, for the convenience of editing, there must be a scene recorder. Before each shot, take a board and write down which scene the shot is in. This is for the convenience of work!

Sure enough, the next thing is a 10-second countdown. It seems that such a countdown screen is to let the employees of the TV station catch the moment before the commercial starts in advance, and then when a program reaches the commercial time, As long as the director switches the machine here and presses play, he can directly add an advertisement screen to the signal!

After the countdown ended, the ad finally started.After a monologue, the most gorgeous scenes in the entire movie appeared one by one, accompanied by exciting electronic music and drums, Cheng Long in the TV seemed to beat down the bad guys one by one with the drumbeat, and at the same time Stars appeared one by one, and even Matt Damon was assigned a screen! "What kind of sparks will this Asian martial arts superstar collide with Hollywood male stars, what kind of fights? Everything is in "Who Am I Remake", from an Asian man who has never used a double, and directly plays the role of a real person! "After such an ending narration appeared, Matt Damon really felt a little excited, and really wanted to see what the movie edited would look like!

To be honest, he has never seen what the edited film looks like until now.This is not an exaggeration at all. On the one hand, he is not the lead actor after all, and he still has other things to do. After filming his own scene, he stayed for another two days and then came back directly, and then just waited for the pay to arrive. chant.He didn't participate in editing or anything, nor was he a director or investor. How could he see the editing results of the entire film in advance?Don’t even mention him, it’s just an ordinary protagonist. If he doesn’t become the director or owns the editing rights, then he just doesn’t care about it after the filming is over—actors just take money to do things, and they act after taking money. As for It's their business how they cut it!Unless it is said that a certain show is likely to hit the Oscars if it is not done well, where do ordinary actors take the initiative to see what editing effects or post-production effects are after the performance?

Just when he thought of this, he saw Ben Affleck suddenly fast-forward a lot, "The tape I got, they also helped to enter the 60-second version that was played in the cinema! In it We can see several dangerous shots of Cheng Long!" After speaking, Affleck quickly found the place and played the 60-second version.To be honest, the 60-second version is only 15 seconds longer than the 45-second version. The overall structure is still the same, and relatively speaking, there is more space to show the charm of the film-of course, this is Bullshit, basically the same as a person who breathes for 60 seconds loses 1 minute of life, is a perfectly valid bullshit.

However, this 60-second version of the short film did show Affleck and Matt Damon more of the level of Cheng Long's stunt team and Cheng Long's editing level!Let’s talk about the fighting scene first. In the real fight, Matt Damon actually knew that the fighting scene was standing by and watched it. He didn’t say that it was so fast that people couldn’t react. It wasn’t really boxing. Just like on the stage or any other fighting arena, the speed of the fists and the speed of the legs are so fast that people can't stand it and can't react.In fact, from the looks of the scene, the fight was not fast.But why couldn't he keep up with the rhythm when Matt Damon was filming?Must it be Allen, the Australian who came up to be Matt Damon's stand-in?

It's very simple, because although Cheng Long's fights are not fast in real shooting, they require a very high degree of cooperation and a high degree of precision in their movements!Basically, it can be said that on the basis of 80% of the human body's limit speed, it is required to achieve a precise position with every punch and kick, and the floating range may not exceed a few centimeters!In this way, actors are required to be able to release and retract their fists and feet!It can't be said that this kick was a little more than 10 centimeters, causing half of Cheng Long's face to step back subconsciously out of the camera!

At that time, the filming gave him the feeling that it was not like a fight, but more like a dance - the precision of the movements was very high.But, looking at what Cheng Long and the others edited now, you can find that the feeling is completely different from when I was shooting it before!Under the editing by Cheng Long and the others, these fighting scenes look so stormy, so punching to the flesh!It is so dazzling!Even just sitting on the sofa and watching the TV screen like this, Matt Damon felt his body was about to move, as if he wanted to move with the rhythm of the fight!

Shit, I didn't expect Cheng Long's "Who Am I" to rely on editing so much!Originally, when Cheng Long was besieged and beaten, I saw three or four people being greeted by Cheng Long with slogans, as if everyone was cooperating to play a very mentally handicapped fighting scene, but the result is now edited out, watching It's so airtight, it's so breathless to watch, and it makes people feel that this is a real fight!That's awesome!

And Cheng Long's desperate stunts are even more dazzling - especially at the end of the film, Cheng Long jumps directly from the plane scene, watching Matt Damon is a bit dumbfounded - he heard that Cheng Long never used A stand-in, and such a movie seems to be based on what Jia Hongjian said at the time not to do too many special effects, and it is basically shot by real people... Could it be that such a scene of jumping from a plane was also shot by real people?It can't be seen that there are any special effects edited by montage techniques, and it is a long shot that lasts more than ten seconds and looks at Cheng Long directly jumping off the plane!Was this shocking?
