Chapter 1408： Green acting

"Hugo, well, from now on, you look down. Now below is the original Los Angeles. This bustling city has become a ruin. At the same time, you also think of Jia Siming and your son Dylan. Are left in the city, and you don’t know their safety at this time... But the problem is, you are not far from the alien spacecraft. You must shoulder the responsibility of saving the world. Personal and family are at this time. Must be put behind..."

Roland’s voice was slowly transmitted through the headset, explaining the current situation bit by bit. Hugo followed Roland’s instructions and looked down through the fighter’s window, trying to portray Los Angeles in ruins in his mind. , But I saw the screwdriver thrown by the staff next to him. The red screwdriver was very obvious on the green ground. In addition, there were a lot of black wires next to it, which was messy. Looking at such a picture to depict a magnificent ruin...

Hugo tried hard to concentrate, but Roland obviously had no experience in directing actors' performances. He still told the story slowly, just like a narrator for the animal world on the Discovery Channel, chattering.

Hugo finally didn't hold it back, and laughed out with a flutter, "Sorry, sorry, my fault." Hugo first admitted his mistake frankly, and then said helplessly, "Roland, how long is this shot? You want me to show so much, are you sure?"

Roland’s words just now contained too many mixed emotions. If Hugo was asked to speak slowly, there was no problem. He could bring emotions to express his feelings accurately, but the problem is that this is a commercial movie, and it’s in a commercial movie. There is no time to spend a lot of space to describe delicate emotions-even the description is more closely related to a theme for digging.

The most successful case is the "Batman Prequel" series of Batman's struggling between the light and justice and the dark guard. Deep digging around one point is enough to support the whole story. If it is too greedy, it will destroy it. The fast-paced excitement of commercial movies.

The original script of "Independence Day" was too greedy for the role of the president. It described the emotions between him and his wife, showed his courage in the face of national disasters, and portrayed his dedication in the Vietnam War... …As a result, three male protagonists stand side by side, but the scenes are uneven.

Now this version has been streamlined a lot. Under Hugo’s suggestion, the emotional scene of the actor Steve has been refined, but at the same time it has also been reduced, weakened love, increased family affection, and combined Steve with The bond between Jia Siming and Dylan is defined as a family, highlighting the theme of having a country and a family, and let Steve stand up for the family and save the earth.

The scene being filmed now is actually just a two-to-three second scene, and Roland is too greedy, wanting to show Steve's complex heart in this fleeting time. Although Hugo's performance space is relatively narrow, he can still meet Roland's requirements. It may take a little longer to prepare, but he feels that he does not need to show much at this time.

"Roland, this is the first confrontation between the army and the aliens, right?" After Hugo finished speaking, although he could not see Roland's expression, he could guess that Roland must be dissatisfied with his ridicule, but Yu Guo didn't mind, he slowed down his tone and explained in detail, "I think the reason Steve went to fight at this time was simply because he was a soldier, he was obeying orders, and he didn't realize that he was fighting outside. The celestial man fought and didn’t realize that he was saving the earth. But later, in order to save Ja Siming and Dylan, he disobeyed the order and flew back to the base in Los Angeles to find his family. Inspired by Ja Siming and Dylan Then, he gradually realized that this is a war that cannot be lost."

Maybe commercial movies don't need to portray too much emotion, just a simple clue is enough. But Hugo believes that some simple small details, layer by layer to show the changes in the character's psychology, will actually make the whole story full and three-dimensional. Compared with Roland's simple and rude squeeze all emotions together, Steve's changes will appear three-dimensional, and at the same time it can be combined with the plot to push it to a climax step by step.

Roland did not give an answer immediately. He was not used to actors violating his orders on set. Of course, he was not used to actors telling things that he didn't know. Hugo's understanding of characters and scripts was exactly Roland's shortcomings. , Which made him a little discouraged.

However, Roland is not an impulsive person. It can be seen from the past few discussions. He was silent and thought about it. He found that Hugo's words actually made sense. This made Roland sigh lightly. He picked up the intercom and said, "No problem, just do what you said!"

Hugo made a no problem gesture in Roland's direction, and then started the rehearsal again.

Hugo closed his eyes and kept hinting that he was in ruins below him. The prosperous Los Angeles was now buried in countless flames and ashes. Then he put himself into a role state and began to worry about Ja Siming and Dylan.

After re-entering the rehearsal, Hugo's eyes became sad, and he let out a sigh of relief, self-blame and guilt revealed between his frowning eyebrows, "I shouldn't leave them behind."

Roland's voice came from the headset again, "At this time, your teammates are lined up on your left and right, in the'herringbone shape' of wild geese flying south. Your teammate comforted you and said,'Don't worry. Big guys, I think they must be out of town first.” Hugo lowered his eyes, but quickly raised them again. He is flying and must look straight ahead. “He then teased in a joking tone,'Or like As the pastor often said, we may never know the purpose of this mission. But what I am certain is that at this moment, the Black Knight will win again! "The teammates around you are all amused, and then You turned your head to look at him, the two exchanged a glance, and you put on an oxygen mask..."

Hugo hid the thoughts in his eyes, then tilted his head slightly and looked to the left. Then he saw a huge illuminating lamp. There seemed to be some problems at this time. A staff member was standing on the stairs. Maintenance, two staff members standing under the stairs are discussing the NFL regular season that ended not long ago. The two people are doing the quarterback throwing rugby action, looking very excited.

This scene really made Hugo very interesting. He really had no way to imagine that he had the same fighter jets flying on both sides, and there was an alien spaceship parked right in front of him, and he was about to fly right now. The moth went to fight a battle without knowing the result-but looking forward, it was a pile of scaffolding and cameras, not even a reference object.

Hugo suppressed his expression and ended the rehearsal, but Roland said next, "The alien spacecraft appeared in front of your eyes, and the spacecraft the size of four football fields was suspended in mid-air. You were completely It was shocked..." Hugo didn't hold back the huge smile produced by the strong contrast between fantasy and reality.

"Sorry, sorry, this time it was my fault, my fault." Hugo patted his helmet annoyedly, but he apologized and laughed, he had to look at Roland and the others. Direction, "I'm really sorry. Let's end the rehearsal, I probably know what's going on, I know it in my heart."

Roland looked at the overjoyed Hugo helplessly, "Are you sure?"

Fortunately, it is just a rehearsal. If this is a formal shooting, this kind of film is a waste of film. You must know that film is a piece of cost that cannot be ignored. As a producer, in order to control costs, this kind of thing must be strictly controlled. This is also the reason why every time the actors make mistakes and laughter will be recorded by the producer-every time ng is a cost.

Roland suddenly understood, that's why Hugo insisted on rehearsing first.

Hugo waved his hand, but his face still kept smiling, "Give me five minutes, you just need to prepare first." Roland stood there and hesitated, but in the end he didn't say anything, but Hugo suddenly He added, "By the way, the renderings of the alien spacecraft and the renderings of the scenes of this scene. Can you give me a rough idea? I mean, the appearance and scale of the spacecraft, as well as our fighter jets. Array model."

"No problem!" Roland said Lily.

Hugo rubbed his stiff cheeks and forced himself to calm down. He knew that he would never be able to shoot in this state, because the most important scenes of the script will all be in the studio. For green screen shooting, he must let himself enter the state.

In fact, a long time ago, Hugo knew that the green screen acting is completely different from the performance under normal conditions.

Hugo had watched the "Avengers" filming before The magnificent battle scenes on the movie screen were very stupid when they were shot in the studio because they saw the actors standing Under the empty green screen, it looks like fighting is realistically-fighting with the air, even more like a madman than Don Quixote-at least Don Quixote is fighting a windmill, and they are right The air kept waving. This makes the actor's "performance" look very funny.

The most famous example is "The Wonderland (oz:the.great.and. released in 2013. All the scenes of this movie are shot on green screen, but there are several actors with excellent acting skills. Ranko, Michelle Williams (.), Rachel Vichy (.), Milla Kunis (.) are all out of standard, the performance is exaggerated and artificial, the characters are completely out of touch with the picture and special effects , Makes people dumbfounded.

Sandra Bullock’s performance in "Gravity" has been underestimated by many people. She missed her personal second queen statuette. In fact, anyone who really knows will know that all of Sandra’s performances are in What was done before the green screen was more difficult than imagined.

Although Hugo knew this for a long time, he still underestimated the difficulty of green screen acting. He originally thought it would be easy to shoot "Independence Day"-in fact, the atmosphere on the scene was really easy, and Hugo didn't need to spend too much. I focused more on studying the role, but I didn't expect the green screen acting to pose a new challenge.
