Chapter 46

"Okay, let's make a distinction between buyers and those who don't buy, those who are needy and those who are greedy, those who trust me and those who don't." Cockney English, eloquently promoting the contents of a box in front of him.

  The extras stepped forward and surrounded his stall.

The way of dialogue with a London accent is something that Zhang Dongcheng repeatedly emphasized and pointed out to several leading actors before the filming started. This is a movie that belongs to London and Britain, which makes the audience who walk into the cinema full of good feelings, or full of enthusiasm. curious.

  In the process of comedy, the Cockney accent also plays an extremely important factor in making people laugh, just like in the original time and space, Wang Baoqiang always appeared in the appearance of a local dialect, which has the function of forming his personal identity.

  Jason Statham was wearing a black windbreaker, with a brown collar wrapped inside the raised windbreaker collar, which made him look very British street style with a bald forehead, and a bit of a maverick coolness.

  In this movie, Jang Dong-seong used a lot of black trench coats, collars, and even leather jackets with reed fur, which are very fashionable and modern, and fully reflect the gangster style on the streets of London. After this group of high-quality sportsmen are fully armed, the calmness, arrogance and arrogance presented on the camera are full of visual impact.

   Zhang Dongcheng commanded the cameraman to move forward, approaching Jason Statham, who seemed to have regained his childhood life, spitting all over the place.

"Come on guys, these ain't stolen, they're just not paid for. Just this one time, there's no exception, because there's a change of locks! It's too late to come back when it's sold out, and it's too late to regret it when I go away Yes! If you don't bring any money, then you're unlucky!" Under the cover of Nick Moran, Jason Statham spoke like a machine gun, happily collecting money and selling things.

   "Bacon, there is a note!" Nick Moran, who was looking around, suddenly shouted, and ran out immediately.

   "Oh, **** FUCK!" Jason Statham slammed his things into the box, jumped up like a frightened rabbit, and quickly followed Nick Moran to the depths of the street.

   "CUT!" Zhang Dongcheng frowned and shouted.

  Everyone looked at Zhang Dongcheng, and everyone could hear that the sound of CUT meant that the director was not satisfied.

   "What's the matter, Smith, what was wrong just now?" Jason Statham ran back anxiously and asked.

   And Nick Moran also followed, looking at Zhang Dongcheng puzzled.

"Feeling, I need feeling. Two thieves were chased by the police, and you acted too flustered and obscene. You are not small people, you are the stars of the gangsters, the geniuses of the criminals, even if you run away Sometimes, show me that kind of coolness, that kind of chic! I don't want the audience to feel that these two street gangsters are very low-level and useless when my protagonist appears. Do you understand? I need style, strong Personal style, FEEL, give me some FEEL!"

   Zhang Dongcheng frowned and pointed, trying to make Jason Statham and Nick Moran understand what he meant.

The heroic complex in gangster movies is very heavy. Whether it is Hong Kong, China or foreign movies, they all describe the gangster characters in the language of the lens as wise and powerful as the savior. Zhang Dongcheng didn't want his protagonist to be despised by the audience as soon as he came out.

   "Uh... Director Smith, did you mean that we ran too flustered just now, and didn't have the feeling that we were teasing the police and that they were pawns and we were in control of the overall situation?" Nick Moran thought for a while, nodded and said.

   "Oh, I understand, even if you run away, you have to feel like cat and mouse. It's very interesting to let the audience have these two thieves, they are very strong and cool!"

   "YES! That's right, come on, run twice first, and let me see how you feel." Zhang Dongcheng smiled, and patted Jason Statham's **** vigorously, signaling them to run quickly.

   Oh, run! Run towards the sunset!

Nick Moran unbuttoned the windbreaker, letting the windbreaker dance in the wind as he ran, and Jason Statham ran with the box in his arms, and even took out a cigar from his pocket and smoked it .

   Hey, not bad! Zhang Dongcheng watched, watched Jason Statham trying his best to find a cool and unrestrained running feeling, and the extra action he made was inspired by the idea, which was simple and unhurried. There is also a leisurely mood with a cigar in his mouth, which makes people feel that kind of style involuntarily, the kind of gangsters who regard danger as nothing.

   Coupled with Jason Statham's expression, this sudden action makes people laugh.

   Behind it, Jason Statham jumped over the railing nimbly, while Nick Moran sank suddenly, a beautiful iron bridge passed under the railing, and the two continued to run wildly.

  The extra actor who plays the policeman has to crawl over the railing awkwardly, trying to coax the extraordinaryness of the protagonist from the side.

"OK, very good, we can officially start shooting, Statham, this cigar is very good, just keep this feeling, this kind of FEEL, SOCOOL's FELL!" Zhang Dongcheng clapped vigorously, indicating that their performance was completely satisfy.

As a director, you can't just sit in front of the monitor and pretend to be cool or just shout CUT and GOOD. He must be keen to discover the state of the actors and the flaws in the performance, and he must be able to successfully help the actors find their feelings and find out what to do. The psychological state, facial expressions and body language of the characters in the play.

   This is a very complicated subject. Fortunately, Zhang Dongcheng has such qualities, and is better than most directors.

  The combination of oriental delicacy and western rigor creates this extraordinary legend.

Zhang Dongcheng has always held a tolerant attitude towards performances that escape from the sub-camera script. This is the performance of the actor's dedication, and it is also what he wishes for. As for whether this kind of performance is suitable for this film, will it cause damage to the film The damage, however, has to be completely controlled by Zhang Dongcheng himself.

Before the filming starts, countless people have worked hard to make the film plan perfect, but no matter how detailed the plan is, how perfect the shot script is, the preparation in advance is extremely substantial, and everything is ready to stop , There will still be sudden discoveries and epiphanies when the moment comes, and you need to hold your breath and wait for the arrival of inspiration and possession.

For example, before Zhang Dongcheng took the first set of shots, although the original movie was deeply imprinted in his mind, and the performance of the actors in it was exceptionally good, if it were someone else, he might just copy it intact, but Zhang Dongcheng Still pondering one shot after another, it's like jumping over the railing. Should Nick Moran jump over it or Jason Statham the iron bridge? What are the benefits of each? The downside, when they straighten up and run again, when will the police appear in the shot, earlier or later, what effect will it have on the scene? When escaping, does Nick Moran need to stagger, and how much is better?

  Some things are learned in rehearsals, and some things are only realized when shooting on location.

  So, just the appearance of a cigar made Zhang Dongcheng think about it, and finally made a decision to proceed according to Jason Statham's inspiration.

The shooting of a movie is not as simple as everyone imagines. Even if there is real rebirth or the fact that the future is foreseen, non-professionals are still likely to make a movie that hit the box office into four different images, which will lead to a box office slip. iron stove.

The cooperation between the photographer Jack and Zhang Dongcheng sparked brilliant sparks in the first shooting. His lens language is so perfect that the perfectionist Zhang Dongcheng can't find any flaws. This scene will never be weak Zhang Dongcheng has this confidence in the works that are three years later in the original time and space.

  The shooting location was transferred, and Zhang Dongcheng was preparing to shoot the second act, which also led to the third of the four gangsters, the most economical Tom.

   This is a grocery store, and the film crew rented it here. Due to Zhang Dongcheng's stinginess, the rent was very cheap, so they only rented it for an hour.

   Need to shoot three or four sets of shots in an hour? Oh, didn't Zhang Dongcheng think about the crew at all?
