You Made Me a Superstar

Chapter 24: Double Torture

Chapter 24 Double Torment

Zhou Yang was indeed a little stunned.

He felt tired.

During this period of time, he had accepted too many things at once, and his brain could not digest it normally, but he was a little anxious for success. He always wanted to understand it as quickly as possible, and then show the perfect plot of the movie.

There is an idiom called “pulling out the seedlings to encourage growth”.

Zhou Yang had this taste from the beginning.

Even in accordance with the method of “Dualistic Conflict and Opposition Analysis of Stories” in “Director’s Manual”, he began to analyze the storyline of “Blind Well” very seriously.

Substitute in like this.

He found that many movies are generic.

In the    mine murder duo, Tang Chaoyang played by Chen Shuangbao is absolutely evil.

His evil manifested in every corner.

is gloomy, terrifying, full of indifference to life, only sees himself, and then only interests.

This is a pure evil that cannot be changed by circumstances or anyone.

Another character played by Zhao Zhen, Song Jinming, has a taste of humanity. Although he is evil, he is also full of indifference to life, and there is no lack of selfishness, but it is not the ultimate purity.

There is still a trace of brilliance of humanity in him…

As for the characters to appear next, that is, Zhang Fengming, a young underage, and a child who dropped out of school to work because of poverty, full of goodwill and hope for the world. (Original Yuan Fengming in “Blind Well”).

even analyzed the whole movie, Zhou Yang found that this movie can be divided into human despair and a little hope.

Just as when the movie started shooting, the long, one-shot shooting technique of going down the mine implied.

Analyzing and analysing.

Zhou Yang began to substitute himself into the role of “Zhang Fengming”…

I imagined myself facing the situation in the movie, what would I do…

He even began to take personal notes of the characters very seriously, and self-righteously wrote the autobiography and background of the characters.

Gradually, according to his memory, he began to read lines and act involuntarily.

He looked in the mirror and began to ponder…

“No, no!”

“continue……”

“No! This is absolutely impossible, it almost tastes like…”

“continue……”

“No, the taste of the show is too heavy, we have to continue!”

“…”

The night was quiet.

Zhou Yang, who was half a bucket of water, started to feel sleepy.

He put down the mirror in a daze and went to bed, his body was endlessly exhausted.

However, lying in his sleep, he had a dream of acting.

In the dream, he seemed to open the box of memory fragments, and the role of the child in “The Blind Well” seemed to gradually become clear, as if he had become that child…

Performed over and over again, overturned, and then continued to perform, continued to overthrow…

Almost masochistically chastising for the pursuit of perfection in the movie.

But he doesn’t know…

Outside the window, a figure shivered from the cold.

finally lowered his head and walked back into the room as if thinking of something.

………………………………

Director and actor are probably two concepts.

Although there is a saying in the film and television industry that the best actors are the directors, but the director who can direct the movie well, may not necessarily be able to act the movie well.

The next day, the crew started work again.

Starting work means torture to everyone, especially to Feng Kai.

Many film crews were discussing in private whether today’s Director Feng would suddenly be unable to contain his emotions and burst out, and finally confronted Zhou Yang.

Some people even started to simulate the situation when Feng Kai broke out, and then they began to think about what their positioning was…

Is it to be a silent bystander, or to persuade one side, and then reconcile the conflict between the two sides?

They are quite tangled.

but……

After the movie actually started shooting, they suddenly found that the atmosphere of the crew became extremely weird again.

Feng Kai faced the camera, almost immersed, and made an expression different from yesterday.

He took the characters played by Zhao Zhen and Chen Shuangbao and talked about the aftermath…

He wore glasses and looked a little flustered after hearing the incident, but then he became shrewd and cunning again. Even when the “relatives of the victims” were talking about the aftermath subsidies, he started to play hard and soft again. Treat life as a transaction, as a set of cold numbers…

That’s an extremely ironic feeling!

Even looking at the camera and listening to Feng Kai’s voice, he could feel this subtle feeling.

The staff was once shocked that this person in the camera was Feng Kai Feng Dao, or was he possessed by some capitalist who took his life unscrupulously.

The feeling of selfishness and taking human life as a benefit is simply performed vividly, even the miner actors who were also filming the opposite scenes fell into a state of discomfort for a time.

This scene is finished!

Feng Kai peeled off from the role, he let out a long sigh of relief, straightened his unkempt hair a little, and glanced at Zhou Yang.

When he saw Zhou Yang’s excited eyes, he applauded from a distance.

has achieved the effect he wanted.

A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he walked in front of Zhou Yang step by step.

“Director Zhou…”

“Um?”

“Show me the footage.”

“it is good!”

“Director Zhou, I personally think the camera needs to be reshot for this scene!”

“what?”

“I think it’s better to use a documentary film. Well, this film is not so much a film as it is to record the dark side of this society. With a sense of irony in the contrast between despair and hope, this film is officially loaded into this film. The tone of the film, at the same time, the lighting effect of this film is also a hinting technique to a certain extent…”

“…”

Feng Kai lit a cigarette and started smoking.

While pumping, he stared at Zhou Yang.

He saw Zhou Yang’s puzzled expression, but he was still serious.

He said a lot of professionalism, and his understanding of the script of the movie, more about the shooting techniques and the lighting effects he wanted to present to analyze the tone of the whole movie.

Zhou Yang listened to Feng Kai telling him a lot of things, he seemed to understand but he was even more at a loss.

but!

He was very emotional.

He finally saw Feng Kai’s serious attitude towards this movie!

He thought for a long time, and finally nodded.

“Well, continue… Director Feng.”

in the crew.

Feng Kai kept talking to Zhou Yang about the inadequacies of a lot of shooting content and shots.

Zhou Yang’s brain is like a paste.

However, he forced himself to write it down and did not disturb Feng Kai.

I didn’t even feel the pain and loss of being crushed in my heart…

Instead, I was very excited!

He can finally learn knowledge beyond books!

That’s how it was!

If you can make a good movie after reading a “Director’s Manual” and some messy directing books, then what’s the point of Yan Ying’s directing students who have been studying for a few years?

He simply used the innate advantage of crossing over to make this movie according to his memory, and judged whether the performance was suitable or not, but in fact, he really understood the whole movie, and he was in a state of ignorance.

And many contents of Feng Kai’s remarks can even make him suddenly enlightened!

He felt that he was a sponge, absorbing the knowledge and gifts from everyone.

“There is also the issue of the script… I thought about the script very seriously yesterday. The script was written very fragmented, and the plot explained was relatively loose, and I didn’t focus on writing it. In addition, there were still some imperfect dialogues, and It doesn’t fit the character’s current state. In my opinion, it needs to be revised. It’s better to use dialect to assist these dialogues, so there is no sense of incongruity… Director Zhou, what do you think?” Feng Kai looked at Zhou Yang. , to seek Zhou Yang’s opinion.

He seems to be in a state.

“…”

……………………

afternoon.

The film continues to start shooting…

Originally thought that Zhou Yang’s torture was the limit.

However, when Feng Kai suddenly changed into a person and appeared in the crew as a real assistant director.

Everyone starts to realize that the real despair is just beginning…

Even this desperation has involved all investors Zhang Genshui…
