Coquettish Rebirth

After Nolan finished the audition, he was basically sure that these three people could indeed be the leading actors, and if he wanted to play such an honest role as the Drifting Monk, Nolan was going to go back to the United States and find out by himself. Look for it.And at this time, during the last period of his visa period in China, he wanted to work with the big boss Jia Hongjian in China to revise the script and make an official and qualified version of the script!

What is a qualified board?That is to say, the routine that Jia Hongjian and Nolan are used to quickly come up with a basic pass, and then go back and slowly correct it, the so-called basic pass!As for the script that basically passes the level, it needs to be done a little bit.For Nolan, his requirements for the script are not low.Although it seems that the scripts learned in textbooks are all direct character dialogues, at most there is only one scene prompt, but the scripts in textbooks are all drama scripts, or drama scripts, and dramas of course require more "speech" "Okay, otherwise how can it be called a drama?So it is normal for dialogue to occupy the main space in their scripts.

But that’s not the case with movie scripts. What kind of thing is a movie?That's the eighth art!And it is a complex that includes the first seven arts, that is, literature, music, dance, drama, painting, architecture, sculpture, etc.!In such a complex, can dialogue be the most important form of expression?Certainly not!When the drama is performed on stage, it is too far away from some audiences, so many facial expressions and actions have the meaning of performance, but they will require more exaggeration!Therefore, actors who are a bit exaggerated and deliberate in their acting skills are said to be acting too much in the style of a stage play.This is not nonsense.You should know that watching stage plays, especially dramas, even if they show scenes of ordinary people, the doors and windows in the background on their stage are all made very huge, as if they are the homes of giants. Why are they made so big?Because it's made too small, the audience can't see clearly if they sit too far away!Therefore, when performing on the stage, the movement must be large, so that the audience can see it!Otherwise, with a slight frown, how could the audience sitting in more than a dozen rows notice that the actor frowned?You can hardly even see your face clearly!

But movies are different, because the lens of movies can be zoomed in and close-ups!So even if an actor is extremely sad.There is a smile on the whole face.But the meticulous expression of the eyes full of sadness can be captured by close-ups, and can be passed on to the audience!So from this perspective, the acting skills of film and TV actors should be more ordinary.more nuanced.Even more everyday!Of course.There are not no negative lessons here - the actors of Japanese dramas and Korean dramas are known for their exaggerated and frivolous expressions. For a surprised expression, they can only perform it with raised eyebrows and an O-shaped mouth.There will be no other expressions!

Having said that, it is because of this feature of the movie script, coupled with the operation of the movie lens, that there is also a "language".That is to say, how to shoot a scene, from which angle to shoot, and what kind of information to convey to the audience through a specific selection of pictures, all these are exquisite!For example, the most typical lens language - when the light hits from behind the character, and then the character faces the camera, in this case, the camera cannot actually capture the face of the character because the light behind the character is too strong. Such a "silhouette" effect can convey a very special touch - for example, in conjunction with a special plot, the edges of the silhouettes of the characters shot under such backlight conditions will be slightly shaken in the lens The effect is a bit like the feeling of the twinkling of the stars, which can convey a feeling of being shaken or helpless when combined with the plot!

Can't this kind of stuff be performed in a stage play?For such a special thing, it needs to be written in the script to remind the director to use it?Otherwise, the director simply forgot about it during the several months of filming, so what should I do?Therefore, the things in the movie script are really complicated, from the operation of the camera to the general reaction of the actors, it must be described. Involving inner thoughts, it is just a script that simply describes the screen, describes the characters' expressions, actions, etc. - after all, the script is for movies. If it is all inner thoughts, how does this make a movie?Do you just give a close-up a few minutes, and then let the actor monologue?It's too easy for the audience to play!Therefore, it is necessary to describe objectively like a third-party observation, and the emphasis is on the sense of picture!

When Nolan was writing the script, he didn’t write the plot directly from the beginning, but started from the skeleton level on a large scale—that is, to refine a script set by Jia Hongjian. Here comes the plot outline!What do you call a refined plot outline?That is to make the performance of the whole outline more layered according to the perspective of narratology and a series of artistic expression principles. In the beginning, when Nolan organized the plot outline for Jia Hongjian, more It is checked from the artistic expression of a single plot and the overall timeline, but now, he is going to check and modify the plot from another level.

How do you say to check and modify from a narrative perspective?It's simple, and one explanation is understandable-to narrate in the time-limited environment of movies, the plot must be concise and refined, right?After all, there is not so much time to waste in 90 minutes!And in such a few story sections to be narrated, shouldn't we streamline it, it's better not to repeat it?For example, in the scene where Tang Seng is lustful deep in his heart, then the women we meet step by step should be constantly upgraded, right?It can't be said that the whole film met women three times. For example, it turned out that they were all at the level of village girls. What's the matter?Logically speaking, the women and plots that appear should be constantly upgraded just like rpg games.Just like in the game, the enemies encountered by the characters should be getting stronger and stronger, and the bosses they encounter should be getting stronger and stronger, and even the bosses should be many times stronger than the miscellaneous soldiers.This is also a kind of artificially created sense of stairway. Only with this kind of rush, the movie or plot will be good-looking. Just like when composing music, sometimes it should be low tide, sometimes it should be high-pitched, and then finally Before the high pitch, it should be a continuous foreshadowing, but the foreshadowing should also be layer by layer, getting higher and higher!

Therefore, it is also very simple for Nolan to start checking and modifying.It is a series of plots that can be encountered.That is all step by step and continuously enhanced in degree-of course, this can only be done on the basis of the overall linear narrative.For example, if everything is described linearly, then obviously the opening scene should first encounter wolves or something, only in this way can we rise from animals a little bit, right?But because it deliberately set a reverse order of the beginning.So at the beginning, it was a shocking scene of bandits besieging.This is the same as the scene of a pack of wolves in the back, but it does not form the effect of rising step by step.Of course.This is in reverse order, so it’s okay to use such an effect alone, if the whole film has this effect.That would make the audience feel weird.

As for itself, in a plot outline, Jia Hongjian didn’t mean that he had arranged the overall progress, and just arranged the order of each story. At that time, they actually figured it out in order to make Rowling’s novel easy to write. A lot of drama.These plots are actually written in the outline as a candidate plot option.But now Nolan chooses who is suitable and who is not, and who goes up and who goes down!

First of all, on Zhu Bajie’s line, he canceled the plot where he met the village girl for the first time, but chose to keep the plot of the three big bone spirits later—don’t forget, when the bone spirits first came out It is the image of a village woman!The reason why he made such a modification is very simple, it is to make the plot of the two images of both village girls into one!Don't appear twice in the whole movie like a village girl or something!

Then, like the story of the spider spirit, it is integrated with the bottomless pit after the Daughter Kingdom, which means that the Daughter Kingdom is a more noble woman in the world—she is the king!Then, combine the spider spirit and the mouse spirit in the bottomless pit into one, and make it into the goddaughter of the dignitaries in the heavenly court, which represents the belief and the high level in the "magic" level!This kind of opponent actively throws the hydrangea, that is definitely a situation that men dream of, okay?In reality, it is equivalent to the daughter of a provincial and ministerial official and the daughter of Bill Gates throwing a hydrangea to a stinky hanging silk, okay? Is this not enough for a daydream?That's not attractive enough?

At the same time, arrange the things like the ginseng fruit and the event of killing people and stealing goods in order to snatch the achievements, so that one is the ginseng fruit tree that was destroyed because of gluttony, and the other is the ginseng fruit tree. Because he was greedy for credit, he went straight to the black hand!Is this enough to go one step further?As for these two stories, there are also different confessions in the first story - on the side of the ginseng fruit, it must be Zhu Bajie who caused trouble, and on the side of the final murder and robbing, it can be said to be Monkey King and the like. Suddenly, he violently hurt people, and after the wounding was over, the Tang monk drove Sun Wukong away.In the first story, it is seen that Monkey King was driven away, but from the second story, this is actually Tang Seng no longer needs to find excuses to excuse himself, and there is no need to blame Monkey King. Because this matter is already the last, after that he went directly to India!Even if the matter of ginseng fruit is put before the matter of the bone spirit, and then modified in the story of the bone spirit, it will cause troubles caused by Zhu Bajie—for example, the killer under Zhu Bajie in the end, then Tang Seng put Zhu Bajie was also chased away...

In this way, when Tangsang finally arrived in India, there were only him and the loyal Monk Sha left. How interesting is that?Doesn't this imply that Tang Seng finally completed his great cause of learning Buddhist scriptures by relying on his honest and hard-working character?Otherwise, according to the characters of Zhu Bajie and Monkey King, he might have lost his way!
