Chapter 589 Shaping a classic image
Du Caige said before that he would give Luo Hengzuo three days.
But after a day and a half, Luo Hengzuo gave up on his own. m
Just after lunch, when everyone took a nap, Luo Hengzuo found Du Caige.
"Director Du, I want to talk to you alone."
Du Caige gave him a deep look, "Come on."
Arriving next to the studio, there was no one around, Du Caige said, "What's the matter? Tell me."
Luo Hengzuo said, "Director Du, there are not many scenes scheduled to be filmed here."
"Well," Du Caige admitted, "it was originally expected to be filmed in Hengdian in 3 days. There are still many exterior scenes, including modern urban scenes, and some seaside manor scenes to be shot."
"It's been 6 days of filming here, and it's far behind schedule." Luo Hengzuo sighed with emotion.
Du Caige nodded.
"The progress has not progressed in the past two days."
"Yeah." Du Caige actually didn't blame Luo Hengzuo.
Because the decision to let Luo Hengzuo try it was made by himself.
Of course, after these two days, he was very disappointed.
Luo Hengzuo didn't feel anything at all.
Even better than Liu Pengfei.
"Director Du!" Luo Hengzuo's voice was a little nervous, as if he had made up his mind.
"kindness!"
"This...this movie, can I not participate in it. As for the contract, it's easy to say, I'll let my agent talk about it."
Du Caige could understand what he meant. Luo Hengzuo is an actor after all.
And in his thirties, he was in his prime.
But now, after letting him try for two days without getting into the state, Luo Hengzuo has no face.
It is even more impossible to go back and play Jiang Hai.
If he hadn't tried to play Feng Yuxiu before, it would have made sense for Luo Hengzuo to play Jiang Hai.
Now that the actor is unqualified, and then returning to play a supporting role, the impression on the staff is not very good, which will seriously damage Luo Hengzuo's reputation.
"Okay. Let's work together again in the next movie. I'll say that you were injured during filming. Because the filming time of this movie is too fast, there is no way to wait for you to recover, so you have to change the actors."
Luo Hengzuo showed gratitude: "Thank you, thank you Director Du!"
Du Caige is not a mean and unkind person.
Although he doesn't like Luo Hengzuo, why bother the tauren, hey.
After Luo Hengzuo walked away, Du Caige thought for a while.
Not long after, Liu Pengfei came quietly behind him, "Director Du."
Du Caige glanced at him, "You want to try again? Are you sure?"
Liu Pengfei said with a wry smile: "Of course I want to, but I really haven't found the feeling and I'm not sure. I understand that the shooting time is very tight, and I can't tolerate my lack of progress for a long time. But I really, really want to win this role! Director Du, please give me another chance!"
Looking at Liu Pengfei's excited, anxious, and eager eyes, Du Caige nodded slightly, "Not today."
Liu Pengfei's spirit was refreshed. If he can't do it today, does it mean that there is still a chance another day?
Du Caige pondered for a while, and said, "I'll take the crew to shoot in another scene first. I'll give you a few more days, so you can get a good feel for it."
Liu Pengfei said with ecstasy: "Thank you Director Du! Thank you Director Du!"
"Don't rush to thank you. I've already told you what Feng Yuxiu feels like I asked for. You've been trying to figure it out for two days, let me see your results. If you don't go on camera, you'll be performing here. Show it to me. Just take a moment."
Liu Pengfei immediately adjusted his expression, clasped his fists and said Feng Yuxiu's iconic line: "Feng Yuxiu, come to ask for advice. Today we are not only competitive, but also life and death!"
Du Caige frowned.
Feng Yuxiu, played by Wang Baoqi in the original version, has his own set of performances.
When challenging Tan Jingyao, the hood covered his face and eyes, only his mouth and nose were exposed.
Wang Baoyi showed Feng Yuxiu's madness and nervousness by slightly slanting and twitching his lips when he spoke.
In many scenes that followed, Wang Baoyi deliberately made a slightly crooked expression.
With the slanted body caused by his long and short legs, the reckless and arrogant eyes, and the unscrupulous appearance, Feng Yuxiu's unruly and crazy temperament was shown.
In the original version of "One Man's Martial Arts", Feng Yuxiu was unable to become a top expert due to his own disability.
But he acted against the sky, with a grass-roots taste that was not stingy, he staged a grass-roots counterattack, picking out those famous experts one by one.
And because of the consecutive victories, the self-confidence is bursting, and some villain's arrogance is added to the back demeanor.
It can be said that Wang Baoqi has shaped this image very well and is very classic.
There is no trace of Wang Baoqi's funny appearance in those comedies.
But since Du Caige is not a remake of "One Man's Martial Arts", in the script he wrote, Feng Yuxiu's background, character, and the story of his experience have also undergone huge changes. Of course, there is no need to copy the original version completely.
Therefore, Du Caige will not use Wang Baoqi's version of Feng Yuxiu as a reference.
However, even without prejudice, Liu Pengfei's performance is still lacking.
Still too revealing.
The Feng Yuxiu that Du Caige wanted to shoot was restrained and calm.
He used "madness in calm madness".
The description itself is contradictory.
Calm and madness, coolness and madness, are opposites.
Feng Yuxiu in Du Caige's "Wulin" is a person who is actually very firm inside, but is out of tune with the world.
Therefore, in the eyes of others, Feng Yuxiu is contradictory.
It's this feeling.
An excellent actor can show two contradictory temperaments at the same time.
For example, Heath Ledger's version of the Joker.
You can see him laughing, and you can hear his inner cry.
I can see his evil, but I can also feel the sadness in his heart.
Calm madness, calm madness, there are three very classic screen images in Du Caige's memory that can be described by this.
One is Tom Hardy's "Bane" in "The Dark Knight Rises."
Another is Jodie Foster's heroine in "The Brave", radio hostess Erica Bain.
The third, and most classic, is also related to Jodie Foster.
It was Jodie Foster who won her second Oscar for best actress in the film, "Silence of the Lambs", the calm and crazy psychiatrist: Anthony Hopkins as Doctor Hannibal.
As one of Hollywood's most iconic on-screen images, Hannibal's madness is hidden behind the calm, graceful, personable, and chilling.
Yes, Du Caige hoped that Feng Yuxiu played by Liu Pengfei would have a taste of Doctor Hannibal.
This Feng Yuxiu is indulged in martial arts, is very rich in spiritual world, and has his own stable and mature three views.
But his three views are out of tune with this world.
In the eyes of others, Feng Yuxiu is evil, crazy and cold-blooded.
But for Feng Yuxiu, he is just doing what he should do step by step, doing what he likes to do.
If this kind of contradiction and opposition can be expressed, then the character will be three-dimensional. The fastest update PC ::/
And the Feng Yuxiu that Liu Pengfei showed just now is "ruthless", "fierce", "strong", several very similar temperaments.
Make the character appear monotonous.
Although it's just a popcorn movie, an action movie, Du Caige doesn't plan to relax the request.
He wants to create several classic characters in this film.
You can't just fight and kill.
It is difficult to leave a deep impression on the audience with only fighting and killing movies.
Du Caige explained his understanding of Feng Yuxiu in detail, and then patted Liu Pengfei on the shoulder: "I'll give you a week. I remember there was a temple on Mount Wutai, it seems to be called Ganye Temple? I remember that temple If you have business, you can let people participate in meditation. After you pay the money, the monks will take you to a meditation room, take away your mobile phone, and all communication tools. The meditation room is very monotonous and has nothing. Every day, someone will deliver fast food and water. In the past, but I won't talk to you."
"You go to that secluded environment, retreat for a week, and try to capture the peace Feng Yuxiu needs."
"Feng Yuxiu's peace is because he has no need for the outside world. He only pursues martial arts, and only has martial arts in his heart. Therefore, money has no meaning to him, power has no meaning to him, even if the emperor appears in front of him, he can't Break his peace. Even if the number one beauty in the world appears in front of him, it cannot break his peace."
