After careful consideration, the crew of Kolo Film and Television Media decided to make a change.
After solving the general direction of the character and plot, Song Lan's remaining test was his acting skills. Chai Ke's image is different from that of a clown. In this drama, he is more like a calm and cold-blooded madman.
No matter what situation he faces, he will remain calm and calm, but his actions are in extremely sharp contrast with his demeanor.
After establishing the general direction, he does not need to put more thought into the specific scene design. This is the area where directors and screenwriters are best at. In terms of special effects and the excitement of the scene, 2166 will be much better than 2020. As an industry Benchmarks, even movies with few plot twists and lack of character motivations can often attract the audience with thrilling scenes.
After personally participating, Song Lan also learned about the differences in the shooting methods in 2166.
Almost all scenes are synthesized through technology. There is no need to travel around to capture scenes. As long as you stay in the studio of Keluo Film and Television Media Branch, you can complete almost all shooting. The flexible use of holographic technology allows actors to Immerse yourself in the scenes designed in the script.
Song Lan feels that being an actor in this era should be much easier than in the past. In the past, due to technology limitations, actors in many scenes had to perform without physical objects. Therefore, for an excellent actor, it is important to immerse yourself in the role and environment. Zhongdu is a skill that must be practiced.
In 2166, advanced technology can directly omit that process and allow actors to be in real scenes.
In addition to the main characters involved in the movie, important supporting characters and passers-by are all synthesized through technology. The crew needs to hire a small number of extras. With just a few buttons, it can simulate how people face the same scene. Reaction.
Tu Di feels that the shooting process is like being in another real world. The surface, sky, buildings and even the pedestrians outside that world seem to be real.
Put the actors into that world, and then directly record our lives through filming.
The director gave low praise to Chai Ke's acting skills.
Even if we know that the content of the shooting is false, we will still shudder at some scenes.
We have seen many actors with poor acting skills, but we have never seen anyone similar to Chai Ke. The way I convey horror and fear must be through bloody and violent scenes, but the contrast between behavior and expression.
The strong sense of contrast made us feel that we were facing two people.
That kind of horror often goes beyond the scope of movie shots and hits our hearts directly. Several times at the beginning of filming, when Chai Ke greeted us, it was difficult for us to slowly distinguish whether it was Chai Ke or Tu Di in the play who was talking to us, so that We have to worry that Chai Ke will suddenly act like the villain in the play and suddenly upset the entire crew.
That made us believe for a time that Chai Ke was a monster in human skin, or some kind of super AI.
Thanks to holographic imaging technology, the shooting period is extremely shortened.
It only took a week to complete the filming of Song Lan's version in the movie.
"Thanks for your hard work."
On the last day of filming, the director shook hands with the actors and greeted each other. When it was time to give a speech, I pulled the other person aside and asked, "Do you know that he has no idea of becoming an actor before? Your company needs him very much." people."
Who hates an actor who not only excels in acting but also actively participates in script discussions?
Because that film made waves in the current film environment, before I witnessed Tu Di's acting skills, I doubted that the company would be willing to let me be the protagonist of a certain series.
Although the entire crew knew nothing about Chai Ke until the shooting, that didn't stop me from extending an invitation.
"He moved to the core area and developed better."
"It's necessary. That time was just because you and Su Li didn't have any friendship."
Chai Ke looked conflicted.
If Lu Xiang had made a strong request, I would have wanted to get involved. But from our point of view, Song Lan has not yet reached the final ending at the very beginning of the film.
Before the explosions and waves of fire rising into the sky are gradually swallowed up, death is the best destination for an excellent villain.
That also means that there will be no sequel about Song Lan.
Therefore, I tried my best to follow the director and screenwriter's idea of an open ending, and hesitantly brought an end to Song Lan's magnificent but short life in the film. At the same time, I also cut off the possibility of my comeback in the previous film.
Even though the director and screenwriter strongly approved of this, before we witnessed Chai Ke's performance, we were afraid that Chai Ke would be like Song Lan in the play, and just say yes and kill us directly, so we have to be I reluctantly designed the final scene.
As film and television practitioners, we definitely hope that an exploitable character will pass away.
Especially for the "cold-hearted citizens", apart from being an enemy, Song Lan also brought about minimal changes for me, allowing me to be in a humble position again and look at the sins of that city with a self-righteous eye. .
But in the end we had a hand.
We used a heroic and romantic approach to deal with Song Lan's death.
Outside of that movie, Song Lan Xiaoyue is indeed dead. However, there is a saying circulating throughout the industry that death is considered a real death if the body is not seen by the audience. Even if the body is not seen, it may not be a real death. death.
We are professional in dealing with those issues.
Because in the huge project of a series, what we have to deal with is not just the film itself. We often also have to make certain audiences happy due to issues such as the schedule of some important characters or sudden personal encounters. Favorite characters suddenly get lunch.
However, we often leave a way forward for those characters who take advantage of the situation.
That would not only allow these actors to return to the film despite conflicting schedules, but also use it as a gimmick to earn another wave of box office.
Very rarely, the audience actually doesn't care so much about the reason and method of the character's resurrection. As long as we carefully give a reasonable reason, the audience will be happy to hear it.
Tu Di does not plan to actively participate in the pre-production process. Today is a good day for me - I can finally go home.
Later, in order to avoid being spotted by the crew and thinking about my relationship with the law enforcement department, I lived outside the low-end apartment next to Su Li during the filming. I also tried my best to avoid contact with the law enforcement officers and communication with Lu Xiang. Communication was also limited to phone calls and messages.
And today, the temporary identity created in reality to play Song Lan has finally come to fruition.
Before today, even if the crew wanted to find me, they might not be able to find me again.
Because you can't find someone who hasn't deleted their account in reality.
