Chapter 710: A flash of inspiration in acting, or a stable output?
“Unbelievable~~”
"I really want you to do it again, but I watched the replay and this one felt good!"
"I wouldn't bet on whether you'd get such a great moment if you continued filming this!"
Nolan shrugged at Chen Yu.
Chen Yu smiled slightly: "Of course, I think so too!"
Many actors can improvise suddenly and sometimes create fantastic effects that even the director could not have imagined; but if you ask them to perform a formal performance, no matter how hard they try, they will not be able to produce such a brilliant performance.
This is the collision of talent and inspiration.
Unconscious performance is the most relaxing, and is a perfect stress response accumulated by the body and long-term performance experience.
Why does King of Sunglasses shoot movies so slowly? Most of the time, he is looking for this kind of actor's burst of inspiration.
Nolan is making a commercial film, so it obviously can't be so time-consuming.
If everyone were like King of Sunglasses, 99% of the movies in North America would lose money.
So even though Chen Yu was only in the first scene, the first segment shot, Nolan still kept it and did not let Chen Yu continue.
It is enough to meet or even exceed his psychological expectations.
Chen Yu is different from many North American actors he knows. Many actors have to get into the role, find the feeling, warm up before filming, etc., but Chen Yu seems to have prepared himself to be able to enter the performance state of the clown anytime and anywhere.
This is a pretty scary thing.
Being so young and having such strong acting skills, Nolan believes that his Grand Slam is absolutely well-deserved.
"Chan, continue?"
Nolan asked this question, but in fact he was looking forward to seeing Chen Yu's next performance.
Can he perform like in the first show and make the whole crew cheer?
"can!"
"Let me take a look at the script first!"
"Ok!"
"So we'll start in 10 minutes?"
"it is good!"
Chen Yu walked to the side, sat there in a clown costume, and started flipping through the script.
Many crew members couldn't tell whether Chen Yu was on the set or in reality, because the way he was flipping through the script, even though it was different from the Joker's various neuroses, his temperament was still vaguely consistent.
So at the moment, Chen Yu was like a clown flipping through a script, and some staff members even took out their cell phones and started filming.
You can’t just shoot scenes casually on the set, but there is no such rule in private.
Ten minutes later, Chen Yu’s second solo scene began.
It was still the ending of the previous segment, Chen Yu held a knife against the extras, and he seemed to hear a shout behind him.
"Ha~~"
Chen Yu pushed the extras away, his neck twisted in a very distorted position, his back bent, but the dagger in his hand was still stretched out, and Chen Yu's green square evil eyes were looking at the camera.
That was supposed to be where the leading actress stood, but this scene was not a rivalry scene, so only Chen Yu needed to perform.
"Oh, long time no see, little beauty!"
Chen Yu suddenly pulled back the dagger in his hand and slowly turned his body around. The tension in his body that had just been there for a moment also instantly relaxed.
Someone shouted, the clown must be on guard.
But when he turned around strangely, he saw that she was just an ordinary woman whom he didn't take seriously at all. Of course, the clown was ready to play a good trick on her.
Licking his lips, Chen Yu smoothed the green hair that fell on the sides of his eyes with the hand holding the dagger. While adjusting his hairstyle, he walked slowly and steadily.
Yes, Chen Yu’s walking posture is very strange now.
One is deep and the other is shallow, and his back seems to be unstraightened, which makes people feel a little creepy.
At least, that's what happened to the photographer walking towards him in the camera and Nolan in front of the monitor.
Nolan thought that Chen Yu’s first performance was an amazing one, the kind of acting explosion that happened when he just joined the crew, but he didn’t expect that Chen Yu’s second performance was so brilliant.
As if he was born to act, Chen Yu became a completely different person when he walked into the set.
So arrogant, incredible, and unrestrained.
What a great actor.
The tension is full, but he usually seems very silent.
This is the explosive power of an actor.
"This must be Harvey's mistress, huh?"
Chen Yu licked his tongue and pointed the dagger in the direction of the leading lady, but suddenly he became gentlemanly again and said to himself: "You are really a beauty!"
The more he talked, the more excited he became, and the more hurriedly he walked, but his eyes kept looking at the extras on both sides, revealing a look and movements that seemed to mock everything, and his body language and expressions were extremely rich.
A vivid clown lives in his own world, and his expressions, gestures and movements seem inconsistent at every moment.
"Ok!"
Nolan suddenly shouted, pinched his knuckles with both hands, and smiled slightly.
This is the end of Chen Yu's performance in this section, and what follows is his rivalry with the leading actress.
Shooting tomorrow.
Today's scenes mainly focus on the individual roles of several actors.
“Solid performance as always!”
"I take back what I said before. It would have been better if you had continued filming the previous segment!"
Nolan said to Chen Yu who was walking out of the set.
In the scene just now, Chen Yu's acting was definitely not an occasional outburst, but his performance as a clown was at this level, so high that it was frightening.
“But I don’t want to do it anymore!”
Chen Yu shrugged and said like a clown. Nolan couldn't help but laugh: "Why?"
"Because I don't think I can surpass the last part!"
"It might be similar to what happened just now, but it definitely won't be better!"
Chen Yu still has this self-awareness.
"Okay, let's take a break. I'll start filming the other actors' scenes first!"
Nolan wanted to pat Chen Yu on the shoulder, but when he saw his clown makeup, he somehow withdrew his hand.
"Ha ha!"
Chen Yu guessed that it might be because of the shadow cast by the clown, so he smiled and sat aside.
"Whoo~~~"
Chen Yu actually worked very hard in the last two scenes.
Now that I've taken it off, I feel like my energy and spirit are somewhat drained.
Although he had his own understanding and performance in both scenes, his performance was also exceptional. In other words, Chen Yu had a great time acting today.
Chen Yu rarely gets to play such a full-throttle role.
Movies like "Insubordination" and so on are just about awesome skills, but the character is still that of an ambitious person; but the Joker has gone beyond the low tastes of human nature and shows an extreme. I can shoot it to my heart's content and feel that no rules in the world can restrain me at all.
This will allow the actors to act without any scruples.
This is the case with Chen Yu just now, so he really had inspiration to support him to perform so well.
Lying there, Chen Yu picked up his cell phone.
There were several missed calls, as well as messages from Liu Yifei and Diao Yinan. Chen Yu ignored everyone else whenever possible. In fact, many classmates and friends he knew but was not familiar with sent him text messages every day.
It may be to reminisce about the past, or it may have some purpose.
Chen Yu would only help those he could, and he would ignore those that were outrageous.
After all, helping you is a favor, not helping you is my duty.
"Director Diao has something to talk to you about. Since I couldn't get through to you, I called me!" Chen Yu looked at Liu Yifei's message and the words Diao Yinan sent him half an hour ago.
The soundtrack for "Better Days" has been completed according to Chen Yu's requirements.
Chen Yu commissioned Diao Yinan to supervise some of the later rendering and artistic processing of the pictures, which has also been completed.
So now the only step left for this movie is the final cut!
The soundtrack, dialogues, dubbing, etc., are all edited into the appropriate plot of the film. If there are any shortcomings, it may be necessary to reshoot a few shots.
But Chen Yu had already edited it before, so it shouldn't be a big problem.
So we only need to complete the final post-production, which Diao Yinan can also do, but Chen Yu has instructed him to communicate with him and discuss some details of the soundtrack together.
Due to the time difference between North America and China, even if Diao Yinan stayed up late to do post-production, he should have gone to bed by now.
Just have to wait till night.
Chen Yu did not call Diao Yinan, but was texting Liu Yifei.
She, a night owl, actually stayed up late today, saying that she was reading a novel. The two of them were chatting, and soon Chen Yu's role began again.
The first day of "The Dark Knight" passed quietly like this.
Chen Yu declined Nolan's invitation to have a drink together in the evening. These foreigners are very different from the Chinese filmmakers. When they get off work, they get off work. Even if they are busy filming during the day, they can do whatever they want at night and don't care about the next day at all.
The Chinese are still relatively unrestrained. Some will hold meetings, shoot night scenes, and of course go out for dinner parties, but they are definitely not as unrestrained as foreigners.
They also drank and danced...each one was more outrageous than the other.
After having a quick meal in the hotel, Chen Yu returned to his room and called Diao Yinan.
"Filming?"
Diao Yinan asked casually, and Chen Yu nodded: "Yes, in Hollywood!"
"No wonder I couldn't get through to you after calling you several times!"
"That's it. There's only one step left in the later stage. What should we do?"
"When will you finish filming that play?"
"It will probably take until July..."
This timing is definitely not possible. "Better Days" will participate in this year's Venice Film Festival. Chen Yu has already talked to the chairman of Venice Film Festival, Lao Ma. The chairman of this year's jury is still Zhang Yimou, so it is very likely to win an award.
So Chen Yu must go all out.
"Then what do you say?"
Diao Yinan had no choice.
"Well, we've almost finished the editing, except for the music and color scheme, which I haven't looked at yet!"
"Video!"
“We processed it with video!”
Fortunately, it is not editing, which is the responsibility of Chen Yu himself. As for the soundtrack, the video can be handled. Diao Yinan only needs to know where to put the background music. As a senior director, he actually knows more about it than Chen Yu.
However, Chen Yu had the original novel and the movie from his previous life as references in his mind, so he also had his own opinions.
It might be better if two people talked together.
"also!"
After thinking about it, Diao Yinan decided to do this.
"So now... video?"
“Are you in post-processing?”
"Not yet, I think I'll be there in half an hour!"
"That's okay, these are just small things!"
Even if Chen Yu is not here, the music composition and post-processing can probably be completed in half a month at most if we video chat every night.
Because a lot of the early stages have already been completed.
The reason why Chen Yu had to do this was because master tapes could not be transmitted or mailed and were easily stolen or leaked. Many pirated resources on the Internet were actually leaked or stolen by their own people during the copying process.
A very small number of them are hacker intrusions, which are almost impossible, and most of them are committed by acquaintances.
“Oh, yes, censorship!”
Diao Yinan thought of something: "Should I go for an examination first?"
The film review is divided into three parts.
The first time is to file and establish a project. This has already been done for "Better Days", but it involves sensitive topics, so it requires the cooperation of the competent authorities.
The second time is content review.
After the film is finalized, it will be sent to the local film bureau for review. The special effects do not have to be completed for content review. Except for the special effects part, the length of the film and the lines must be the finalized version. If the content is approved, it cannot be changed.
This is what Diao Yinan was talking about.
This review is also very troublesome and requires a lot of information. After passing it, you can receive the title film.
That is the dragon mark.
Many people think that everything will be fine once they receive the Dragon Mark, but this is actually a big mistake.
The Dragon Mark only proves that the film can be released domestically, but the specific theaters and so on still require a final step of review.
Also called the final instance.
"Okay, let's do the internal audit first!"
"For the final review, we'll send it to the Film Administration once we're done!"
"It's not too late. It will be healed in 2 months!"
Venice has a deadline, and as long as it is delivered before the date specified by the Venice Film Festival, it can participate in the film festival selection.
The final review by the State Administration of Film is the third step.
It is also the most critical step for a film to be released in theaters.
After the film is completed, the dragon logo is added and sent to the State Administration of Film, which also requires a lot of information.
The final review is divided into content and technical review. Once passed, a public screening license will be issued to the film company.
Only then can the film be released and pre-sold.
The license is the most important thing.
Some films have received the Dragon Mark, but the General Administration of Final Appeal will still make suggestions for content revisions.
In fact, domestic film censorship is very simple.
The summary is one sentence - punish evil and promote good, spread positive energy, do not sympathize with crimes, do not whitewash enemies, and praise justice. Content that spreads the evil of human nature, pornography, violence, and negative energy does not conform to the mainstream values of China.
The role of the current film censorship system is, first, to protect the local market and promote the development of domestic films; second, to ensure that films entering the Chinese market comply with Chinese standards; and third, to ensure that films going abroad convey Chinese values.
Many so-called movie lovers in later generations advocated film ratings, which is actually the most trashy and irresponsible behavior.
The film ratings abroad are nothing more than pornography, bloodiness, violence, and horror.
Once this loophole is opened, it will affect a large number of young people. When slogans are put up prohibiting viewing for those under 18 years of age, it is actually completely useless.
It is counterproductive.
The greatest qualities of human beings are curiosity and desire.
This 18+ movie will become what they want to watch the most, and it will also give rise to a pirated industry chain selling various USB flash drives and links, which will contribute to the increase in juvenile crime.
At that time, due to the influence of Young and Dangerous, entertainment venues in many cities were filled with violence, and bad boys with the Azure Dragon on the left and the White Tiger on the right were doing shameful things under the cover of night.
Even in today's society, incidents of molestation, sexual assault, and violence still occur...
China has its own culture and values, and China has established its own standards. The only standard for movies is not the Western definition!
Many people have been brainwashed by the West for too long and never think about setting our own standards.
A simple search on the Internet will yield many cases.
That's why Chen Yu attached so much importance to this review.
"Better Days" is a film launched to stop this kind of violence.
The significance of this can obviously be seen by the Film Bureau!
