I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 400 Efficiency (33)

Uh, okay…

"The Climber" uses the big event of climbing Mount Everest to tell the story of a bunch of small loves of small people.

Of course the main theme can be love, and the main theme of love can also be very touching.

"Out of Nowhere", Lu Guangda and Wang Ruhui, a pair of lovers who know each other and accompany each other, the emotions that burst out after going through numerous tests are quite contagious. This appeal comes from the true expression under the heavy history, which far exceeds the foolish dreams of vulgar romance dramas.

When Lu Guangda called out Wang Ruhui's name, Wang Ruhui still responded with the authenticity of a child. Her words "the coffee fell into the water" were simple and pure, with a bit of frustration and self-blame, as if all the emotions burst out at this moment, like a torrential rain, surging in.

Often times the main theme will contain love, hate, and vengeance, which is normal, but the main theme is the main theme and it cannot cross the line or become the main subject.

The Climbers…

Alas, there is no comparison!
I heard that after reading the script, Wu Jing asked to change his and Zhang Ziyi's characters to former husband and wife, and remove all the love scenes between them. He is very sensitive to the market, and he used his "martial arts background, not good at literary drama" and his inability to play a "love" role as the reason for the change, which also took care of everyone's face...

Unfortunately, "The Climbers" is not his play!

However, we do have to thank The Climbers for their trial and error...

Let many veteran filmmakers know that the love element is not suitable for many movies...

If not for this, I guess "Changjin Lake" would also have to include love!
——When the red scarf appeared in "Changjin Lake", my feet were clenched tightly, for fear that a love story would suddenly appear. I was so nervous that I could only breathe a sigh of relief after watching it...

I heard that the red scarf written by Lan Xiaolong was meant to express the people's support for the army. The people at the station threw all the warm clothes on the train. The cotton-padded clothes given by the masses were shared by the three of them. Small items such as scarves were only given to one person. It was amazing that they were photographed so ambiguously...

I don’t know which director wrote this!
It's already good, at least his son wasn't arranged to play Wu Wanli...

As for adding emotional scenes to "Underground Fire", it is actually to extend the length of the movie. After all, according to the script, including the opening and ending credits, the movie will be at most 110 minutes.

If there is a 20-minute romance, it will be 130 minutes!
very perfect.

……

The five main actors are Shen Liang, Huang Xuan, Chen Daoming, Yu Hewei and Wang Jingchun...

Popularity + strength, a perfect combination!
But when Shen Liang saw Yu and Wei for the first time, he almost didn’t recognize them…

He specially did a tan!
Because the mine manager he plays is in the mine all year round, so in order to highlight the character, he has to be a little darker...

Although Yu and Wei are not very white, in order to make it more concrete...

There was no opening ceremony for "Underground Fire". Shen Liang started filming the day after arriving in Taiyuan!
The first scene is when Liu Xin, played by Shen Liang, returns to the mine from abroad...

Liu Xin followed his father's will and never went down the mine.

However, even though he had already graduated with a doctorate and was working at the National Coal Design Institute, he still had a knot in his heart.

He wants to change the miners' working environment. He wants the miners to mine under the blue sky!
At that time, Liu Xin took a different approach and boldly experimented with coal gasification technology, which was still in the exploratory stage.

He came back this time just to do experiments!
The original book says: Some high-rise buildings were built on the mine, and there were more restaurants and shops on the roadside, but everything was shrouded in a gray recession. He found Li Minsheng and told him his request...

You don’t have to shoot like this.

Li Minsheng came to pick him up on behalf of the Mining Bureau.

"I feel like this car doesn't fit in here!"

"…The mining bureau is not doing well right now, and we haven't paid any wages for almost half a year…"

"With the Daqin Railway, the country has restricted coal production in the past two years, but the situation has not improved?"

"It got better for a while, but then it got worse again. This is the nature of the industry. I don't think anyone can do anything about it."

Liu Xin was silent for a while, then said, "Do me a favor."

"…Ten years ago in the No. 1 Middle School, you couldn't even get enough to eat, and you refused to take the meal tickets we secretly put in your schoolbag. Now, what do you want me to help you with? If I'm not mistaken, the suit you're wearing can probably buy a house here!"

"No, I need to find a small coal seam underground. It doesn't matter if it is very small, with a reserve of no more than 30,000 tons. The key is that this coal seam should be as isolated as possible, with as little connection to other coal seams as possible."

"What are you going to do?" "Can you find it?"

"This... should work."

"I need detailed geological information about this coal seam and its surroundings. The more detailed the better."

"This is fine too."

"Then we'll talk about it in detail tonight." After Liu Xin finished speaking, Li Minsheng turned his head and Liu Xin asked, "Don't you want to know what I'm going to do?"

"I'm only interested in my own survival now...what you want to do is your business!"

Hearing this, Shen Liang shut up and looked through the car window at the city he had left ten years ago...

"Crack!"

Shen Liang and Huang Xuan got out of the car quickly: "How is it, Director?"

"...Xuan, your expression should be a little more indifferent..."

"OK!"

"do it again…"

……

Lu Yang is very efficient in filming movies!
This is also one of the reasons why Shen Liang looked for him.

It took less than two months to shoot "The Blade of the Assassin" and 2 days to shoot "The Blade of the Assassin 87"...

He is the kind of director whose upper limit is not high, but whose lower limit is not low either…

The advantages are obvious: the control of many scenes is very precise, and the film aesthetics is very good. The character modeling and scene design of "Embroidered Spring Knife" and "Assassination of Novelist" are full of oriental aesthetics~
The shortcomings are more obvious: not very good at adjusting actors, so Yang Mi in "Blade of the Assassin 2" was ridiculed by the crowd;
There is another fatal point: I don’t know how to mobilize emotions!

Take "Assassination of Novelist" as an example. I know you want to be sentimental about the scene between Lu Kongwen (Dong Zijian) and Pan Ruo (Tong Yali). The sister used her life to protect her brother...

But your sister offered her life in exchange for your chance to escape, why don’t you run?

If Shen Liang made this play, divided it into two parts, the first part would simply delete all the realistic parts, leaving only the fantasy world, and then end with Guan Ning finding Lu Kongwen, and the second part would do the real assassination...

"Underground Fire" had eight months of pre-production preparation. Although Shen Liang did not participate, he gave a lot of suggestions.

The most annoying thing is the rhythm of the movie and the sensational ending...

However, "Underground Fire" is supported by Liu Cixin's original work, so it is unlikely to go too far wrong.

At least it won’t go off track!

Shen Liang devoted himself to the task and performed most of the scenes in one take.

On October 10, about 24 days after the start of filming, Underground Fire reached the disaster part…

Liu Xin's experiment went out of control and the large coal seam caught fire!

Jiang Qiming, who played Shen Liang's assistant, pushed his glasses and said, "It's not our experiment, it has nothing to do with us!"

"It's okay? Really? Are you sure?"

“…I’m not sure…”

Indeed, the one-kilometer-long soil and rock belt between the burning large coal seam and the test coal seam was intact, and the underground fire was burning on both sides of this thousand-meter-long isolation belt...

Judging from the current situation, the fire in the large coal seam has nothing to do with the test coal seam.

But this is just a consolation, and even the person who made this suggestion does not quite believe it.

Without experiments, how could a large coal seam catch fire for no reason?
