Coquettish Rebirth

"What, drastically changing the script? Teacher Jia...is this really good?" Lao Mouzi was shocked at the time!He had already written the outline of the script, and then hired screenwriters from the mainland and Hong Kong.Those two people came here to be responsible for writing the sub-scene script and the dialogues of various actors according to his old Zhang's intentions. As a result, they were about to start writing quickly, and Jia Hongjian said that the whole outline of the plot was going to be moved?This... is this making such a fuss?If this is changed from the beginning, then the overall progress will be much slower!You can't throw those two screenwriters in the hotel and stop them from working, right?

"Of course it's really good! Even if we are making commercial films, we must have an attitude of striving for perfection, and we are not making films that fool people. Otherwise, why do you want me to be the producer?" Jia Hongjian said so with a face lost .That's right!From Jia Hongjian's point of view, since he was asked to be the producer, then follow his request!Since you want to hang his name, then listen to him!In the end, if the box office is not good, it will be his money that will be lost. If he doesn't speak up, who would dare to blame him?He gave money and ideas, and made movies according to his requirements for the product. Is there anything wrong with this?

And besides, since this film is not intended to fool the audience and simply cheat some money, it is obvious that it must try its best to keep improving.If the goal of this movie is 4000 million yuan at the box office, then Jia Hongjian would still want to keep improving on such a basis, let alone a blockbuster movie with an investment of 2.5 million yuan?Want to take Jia Hongjian's money and spend it casually?Do you really think Jia Hongjian is a fool?

From Jia Hongjian's point of view, this was one thing, but from Lao Mouzi's point of view, it was another matter.In the seriousness of Lao Mouzi, it is as if Party A entrusted him, Party B, to do the architectural design. Party B measured various surrounding environments, thought for a long time, and finally started to design. A framework has been designed. As a result, Party B now says that it wants to change the demand?Want to change the design?The designer wants to kill people no matter what!To put it bluntly, this matter is the different feelings caused by the different positions between the two people, but who made Jia Hongjian the boss?Who made Jia Hongjian a big name? It can only be that Lao Mouzi succumbed.

However, Jia Hongjian was able to make Lao Mouzi submit. It was not just a simple administrative order. Of course, he also had enough convincing things-"Look, I suddenly thought yesterday, what if we change the plot like this..." He said , He told Lao Mouzi all the ideas he got from reading the diary of Guevara's best friend yesterday.Such an idea is not just an idea.Jia Hongjian didn't sleep all night last night.Just thinking back and forth whether this idea is good or not!Didn't he say that when he came up with a new idea all of a sudden, he thought it was good, and before he could verify it, he would slap his head and be very happy, and then he would find Lao Mouzi to change it.Is he like that?

Jia Hongjian didn't sleep last night, what was he thinking about?Isn't it just to repeatedly verify whether his idea is correct?He, Jia Hongjian, has seen too many bosses slapping their heads to think of ideas. Sometimes, during a meeting, this boss slapping his head to come up with ideas makes subordinates like Jia Hongjian want to laugh when they hear it!As a result, I didn't have to hold back on the spot.Then after a few 10 minutes, I sneaked to my boss to remind me?Don't you have to tell people that doing so may be risky?He, Jia Hongjian, had seen too many such things, how could he still make such a mistake?

Last night he thought about it several times by himself from beginning to end, and even imagined in his mind which of these two versions of the plot would look better to the audience when made into a movie.In the end, he just came up with this one after liking it!Maybe he was born to like O.Henry-style novels, and he just likes the routine of this kind of story development and development to a big reversal at the end, so such a bad foreshadowing of Qin Shihuang in the early stage made Yuen Biao and the audience slowly drawn into it. He really wanted to kill Qin Shihuang.In the end, I was convinced all of a sudden, and reversed all of a sudden.How fun!How amazing!And with such a shot, it can stimulate the audience to go to the cinema repeatedly, right?When seeing the end of the big reversal for the first time, the audience may not have reacted, and they will feel as if they haven't read the foreshadowing too carefully.Then I want to compare the ending again and go to the cinema to watch it again!In this way, wouldn't we just increase the turnover rate, wouldn't we just be able to earn more box office?Therefore, whether it is considered from a commercial or an artistic point of view, Jia Hongjian felt that such an idea of ​​his was reliable!Otherwise, why would he tell Lao Mouzi?

As for Lao Mouzi, after the initial surprise and incomprehension.Soon he changed his mind.After listening to such a plot routine described by Jia Hongjian, he thought about it carefully and found that this routine is really interesting!Just like "Tang Monk", it deliberately made a big reversal at the end!Relatively speaking, the new routine of the story of "Heroes" is better than the routine of "Tang Monk" because it is slowly and continuously laying the groundwork in the process, and it is rendering Qin Shihuang himself in the way of side depiction. brutal.Through the misery of ordinary people's lives.What kind of war brought destruction to people, and the kind of high pressure of the Qin Dynasty after the war, the kind of people who privately commented that Qin Shihuang was a devil, with three heads and six arms.It is a monster that eats children every day...Through such a series of side-view descriptions, the audience can be successfully brainwashed, making the audience feel that killing Qin Shihuang is a matter of course, and it is to eliminate harm for the world!Then at the end there is another big reversal, this kind of strength, this kind of shock, that is absolutely!

So after hearing Jia Hongjian talk about such an idea for 5 minutes, this old man not only stopped resisting, but even actively helped Jia Hongjian think about how to change the filming process! "Ms. Jia, if it's not like this, I might as well bring two screenwriters together. First, I'll modify the outline of the plot. I'll let you have a look at it. If you think it's ok, we'll work on the storyboard script. After the storybook is finished, I will Then find an artist to draw the picture, and then start scouting and discuss the modeling design and costume design with the art director?"

"Okay!" Jia Hongjian nodded, but soon he recalled something different, "Draw pictures? Do you still need to draw pictures for your storyboard script?" That's right!This made Jia Hongjian feel that something was wrong.When working with Ang Lee, Ang Lee didn't have a detailed design of the shots at all. Although he knew what scene to shoot today, he never thought about how to shoot in advance!So he always went to the scene to shoot, and he let the actors toss for a long time before he temporarily chose one he was satisfied with.As for Nolan, there is no such thing as drawing pictures.Nolan wrote a bunch of things on a huge paper or whiteboard as densely as blackboard writing, with various underlines, and then he knew how to shoot a scene by himself.When cooperating with Cheng Long, Cheng Long even used Hong Kong's super irregular rush-in-the-schedule mode, not to mention the split-shot script, even the script was rushed when filming, okay?The dialogue that the actors wanted to say the next day was all thought up by Cheng Long and Jia Hongjian the night before filming, okay?As for what to shoot in each scene, after arriving at the scene, Cheng Long looked at the various environments and designed it temporarily, such as the camera position, it was even a temporary arrangement!What is there to paint here?

"That's right! Don't you have to draw pictures when filming? First think about how to shoot such a scene in your mind, think about it several times, find the best camera angle and character movements, and then draw a schematic diagram to explain to the artist. Let the artist Turn it into a script similar to Japanese comics. During such a long-term shooting process, our director will not forget how to shoot each shot to look best..." Zhang Yimou blinked and replied honestly.

wipe!This is the difference between the academic school and all kinds of wild ways!At that time, Jia Hongjian lamented that although the students taught by our film and television schools in mainland China may not be top-notch in shooting, this good habit is really cultivated!In fact, if you think about it, you will know that Nolan graduated from the University of London, majoring in English literature.He just learned how to make movies when he was in the film club set up by the students when he was in school—of course, he started playing with various 8mm machines in his early years to shoot small things by himself.But to be honest, Nolan did not have a professional film education, not a major!Although Nolan is talented and has a high level, but all the pictures in his mind are recorded only by words, which is a bit... inefficient, at least there is no drawing to make it clear at a glance!And if there are pictures, it will be more convenient to communicate with the actors, and even communicate with the post-production special effects-as long as you show the shot shots to the other party, the other party will know what the concept is!

Not to mention Cheng Long’s method. Hong Kong used to make all kinds of shoddy things back then, and even when all kinds of stars were in a hurry to catch up with the show, it was after the filming of this film was just finished, and they got on the car to go to another set. Catch up with the scene, then memorize the lines temporarily in the car, get out of the car after memorizing, and then shoot, and then change after filming... In this case, there are no rules for filming that are not professional?All kinds of nonsense.So even though Cheng Long's method is fast, it is not suitable for everyone. After all, you can see the environment on the spot and think about how to make a good shot on the spot. Didn't think of the best way to shoot this thing?What if it took several days to think of it?What are we going to do at this time?Go back and make up a temporary make-up?Similarly, Li An's style of filming is too casual, and like Cheng Long's, it is a bit risky.Although Li An also came from a major, Jia Hongjian wondered why this old man hadn't learned a good habit?

Generally speaking, Lao Mouzi's habits are really good.This is to think about the best ideas in advance, and then draw pictures, so that even if you are busy and tired, you can easily know how to shoot the scene by looking at the shot draft.Overall, although this progress is slower than Cheng Long's and the others', it is probably faster than Li Ang's in any case!At least it doesn't take half a month of continuous filming for one night to call it a day, and it doesn't need to film every day for half a month to satisfy Ang Lee!In this way, the overall cost can be saved a lot!
