The plot continues to advance, and Huang Silang still holds the home court.
This time, the county magistrate quietly tried to test him. The two "didn't understand" followed Huang Silang's words to test his truth.
"What does Zhang Mazi do? Do you understand?"
"not understand!"
"What do I do, do you understand?"
"not understand!"
Unsure of the situation, the county magistrate once again "pretended to be confused" and praised him, further shifting the focus from Zhang Mazi himself to safer business topics.
Originally, Huang Silang's calculation was crackling: if they really had the courage to suppress the bandits, the county magistrate would really not be able to retain him, which would harm both the county magistrate and Zhang Mazi, or arrange for him to have an accident on the way to suppress the bandits; if they did not If you dare to suppress the bandits, you can still sit down and talk about money.
Just two cards.
But he was too smart. Zhang Mazi pretended to be Ma Bond and took office in Goose City. Bullets flew here and Huang Silang hit him.
Zhang Mazi is there, but Zhang Mazi who intercepted Huang Silang's goods is a non-existent person. The so-called "broken leg" is just Huang Silang guarding and stealing, and the thief is called a thief.
He didn't expect that the person opposite was Zhang Mazi Benma. So Zhang Mazi threw away the cards, picked up a gun and beat the cards in Huang Silang's hand to pieces. It was all brothers' ulterior motives!
Didn't you say that your money was intercepted by bandits? If you pay us to suppress the bandits, we will definitely get your robbed goods back!
So there was the next conversation.
Zhang Mazi: Accurate! Brother, when I was still in my mother's womb, the fortune teller pointed at my mother's belly and said: The biggest shortcoming of this child is that he can't pretend to be confused! Brother, I still...can I change it?
Huang Silang: I can’t change it! Born, look at this master, he is a master at pretending to be confused. Dollar, speaking of a knife, what is a Dollar?
MaBunde: US dollar, USdollar.
Ma, Zhang, Huang: Hahaha...
Huang Silang: Look, look, you are a genius pretending to be confused! Master, I respect you.
Mabond: Thank you Mr. Huang for your praise. Brother Rong is really confused. After successfully suppressing the bandits, we only need two percent of the smoke and soil recovered.
Huang Silang: No, split it in half. To show your sincerity, I wish the bandits a triumphant victory. 1.8 million will be sent to you immediately.
Zhang Mazi: Hey, no reward for no merit, it’s too early to collect money now.
Huang Silang: Daiyu, Qingwen!
Zhang Mazi: Hey, brother, I don’t want beautiful women either.
Mabond: Hey! The beauty doesn’t want it, and you don’t want the money either. What do you want?
Zhang Mazi: Legs!
Ma, Huang: What legs?
Zhang Mazi: The courageous and soft-hearted thighs of Jianghu heroic heroes! elder brother!
Huang Silang: Brother!
Zhang Mazi: Your legs are my legs, and your legs are my life. As the saying goes, there is no way in the world, but with legs, there is a way.
Huang Silang: Got it! clear!
Mabond: I understand too!
Then a gorgeously dressed woman came on stage, and it turned out that Daiyu and Qingwen in Huang Silang's mouth were actually the same person.
But as soon as she entered the door, she fell unexpectedly.
Huang Shiro: Damn thing!
Zhang Mazi: Flowers will bloom again, and people will never be young again. The girl is as beautiful as a flower, big brother, don’t be angry!
Ma Bond: Mr. Huang, Easy, Easy (relax).
Zhang, Huang: Hahahahaha...
Huang Silang: It’s too late to meet you, so I gave the girl the diamond together.
Zhang Mazi: Hey! I brought my wife here, it’s not convenient to take another girl.
Huang Silang: Give the diamond to Madam.
Mabond: Okay, I'll keep it for Madam first... Aren't they Daiyu and Qingwen? Why did a woman come?
Zhang Mazi: Could it be that her name is Daiyu Qingwen?
Huang Silang: Tell me you won’t pretend to be confused! I gave him an Oriental name.
Ma, Huang, Zhang: Daiyu Qingwenzi! Ha ha ha ha......
Huang Silang: Master, high! County magistrate, hard!
Ma, Zhang: Mr. Huang is tall and hard!
It was getting dark after a scene was filmed here. The three leading actors were very tired, but the three cameramen and lighting technicians were even more exhausted.
The spatial hierarchy is particularly rich in the traversing orbital shots. In order to avoid the camera interfering with each other and the contradiction between light and shadow, the shots of the three protagonists are all close-ups and close-ups, and the constant switching of lights must also be taken into account.
Only with the light and dark layers of lighting can the speaker highlight the spatial relationship to the maximum extent.
They are physical work, but the three actors are different. The three of them have to focus on the person being listened to at the same time. Their gazes relative to each other direct the cameraman's axis return and the lighting technician's lighting direction. After the eyes are connected, It's the lines.
Only in this way can we use lens changes and lighting effects to enhance the depth of the picture space in these slow-moving orbital shots.
Of course, these very professional visual differences cannot be seen on the shooting scene, but need to be edited later to reveal this deep artistic conception.
Most of the people watching on the sidelines are very experienced in shooting, and many people can see the secret at a glance.
For example, Ken Takakura asked in confusion: "Zhang Sang, is this really the first time Mr. Liu directs? Why do I think he looks like an old director with a lot of shooting experience?"
Zhang Yimou cried and laughed and shook his head: "This is really his first time, but with such a precise shooting design, there are some things that even I wouldn't be able to do without prior planning. All the shots are actually taken in advance for the later stage." , To be honest, I’m also wondering why he is so experienced!”
Chen Long nodded in agreement: "In this way, each shot can have the swaying candle shadow in the background to enhance the dynamic sense of the picture. It has nothing to do with the plot, and it is an off-axis shot. The main thing is The goal is to keep the character alive on screen and remind the audience that this person is sitting here.”
"And this arrangement does not affect the emotional rhythm of the three characters at all," Ken Takakura seemed to be thinking deeply. "This is another way of taking one shot to the end, which is more difficult to accurately capture than the scene of intercepting the train we saw yesterday. Control, after all, the space here is too small, and there are such dense dialogue plots!”
Of the three people who had finished their performance, only Uncle Ge and Fa Ge came over to participate in the exchange. Liu Qingshan also wanted to use the venue to shoot several scenes behind the curtain.
The acting skills of these two people are not inferior to Takakura Ken at all, not to mention that it is not an extension of the static shot with far-reaching artistic conception, and does not need to reflect something thought-provoking in the actor's eyes.
The current shooting only requires the ability to express the lines well and the coordination of some body language. In addition, it also has a certain comedy effect and enough facial expressions to meet the shooting requirements.
Relatively speaking, Liu Qingshan's acting skills are not that high. He only needs to exaggerate the domineering character in the character, and the role will be successful by seven points.
On the other hand, Uncle Ge plays a small character who is caught between the cracks, and Fa Ge plays a villain, which requires extremely profound acting skills to support.
Especially the latter's Huang Shilang, the main villain in the film, is also a bit neurotic. Such a character breaks through the audience's understanding of his past roles and is the most difficult one.
Of course, his stand-in also plays a major role in the film, completing the diverse characters of Domineering Shiro, Stand-in, and Looming Shiro.
Uncle Ge actually straddled four roles, playing Master Tang, County Magistrate Ma, Magistrate Ma's uncle, and the bandit.
Liu Qingshan played Zhang Mazi, Zhang Muzhi, County Magistrate Ma and Magistrate Ma’s nephew.
It is the versatility of the three leading actors in the play that makes the acting in the original movie so amazing. It is also the script that contributes to this, and Fa Ge is very clear about this.
"The key is that Shanzi's script is exciting enough, but I admire Uncle Ge even more. The master he played is not only funny. He was originally the county magistrate, and was forced to be the master next to the gangsters. While catering to the fake county magistrate, he also Huang Silang secretly communicates with the song, and is a double agent who jumps around. He wants to show a person who looks funny and harmless on the surface but has deep thoughts about the city. He bombs trains, enters the city, engages in firefights, attends banquets, and suppresses people. The bandit, he is the one who drives the plot forward from beginning to end.”
Chen Long has read the script and has a certain say: "Shanzi is not simple in it. He looks very thin and full of personal colors. However, this character has developed from the righteous, arrogant and arrogant character in the past to discovering that the brothers around him are one by one. Against his own forbearance, helplessness and confusion, he must perform his every detail."
Zhang Yimou gave Fa Ge a thumbs up: "Fa Ge, your Huang Silang is really eye-catching. As one of the representative figures in the peak period of Hong Kong movies, you have tried basically all kinds of characters. But what impressed everyone most was your fashion style of holding a gun. In this film, the real Huang Shiro is easily seen. Brother Chen Long explained to me just now that the fake Huang Shiro has the shadow of a hero when he is down and out. "Huang Shilang" has the shadow of Alang's story. Obviously Shanzi took your image into consideration when he wrote the script."
Fa Ge agreed with this statement: "Shanzi promised to create a work tailored for me half a year ago. As soon as this book was handed into my hands, I knew it was for me, and Fa's sister-in-law also agreed. Because of this, I immediately rejected all announcements and waited for the director’s call!”
He didn't talk about the substitute. This kind of thing is also a convention in the industry, that is, the actor himself cannot mention the credit of the substitute.
In fact, this is reasonable. Although Fa Ge's stunt double made a huge contribution in this movie, it was also taught by Fa Ge himself. Otherwise, how could he be so lifelike? You must know that he has never been exposed to professional acting guidance before. .
"Well, if this film can be successful, the character Huang Silang will definitely shine!" Zhang Yimou said, "The jury of the film festival are all professional filmmakers who watch the performance with professional eyes. It is not just for ordinary audiences to say yes. , although Shanzi’s character is domineering, and although the masculine hormone explosion is unforgettable, it is far less versatile than Huang Shilang’s character.”
He himself is a veteran who has won numerous awards. He best understands the psychology and evaluation criteria of the judges, and most of his words tend to be recognized by awards.
