The most ruthless krypton gold anchor

Chapter 384 Creating a Character Life

Some heads of investors, producers and distributors gathered together to watch the filming of "Joker". They were very optimistic about the script and believed in Wu Wei's acting skills. Undertake most of it, and the overall investment amount is not high.

It's not a movie that needs a big scene, and precisely because of that, they need to see what's really coming out, to determine how well they're going to develop everything that's going on with the movie.

No matter how good the script is, it depends on the actual shooting effect.

Wu Wei found a one-man show, and he didn't mind showing it to anyone, and was even very happy to completely release his desire to perform.

On the street, he is a clown who is bullied, the lowest existence in Gotham City, and has a mental illness. He needs to use the best smile to show the street clown. He hopes his smile is contagious , can talk well about talk shows, dream of that stage, and hope to be interviewed by my favorite host on that show.

Compared with the already perfect clown in "The Dark Knight", now it is the process of becoming a clown.

In an empty room, Wu Wei did not act in kind, not specifically for a certain person, but when playing the clown, he found that there could be more room for development in a person's imaginary world.

On the subway, Arthur was laughing, which angered some gangsters.

Wu Wei sat on a chair and smiled. If you set him as a clown, the laughter would be quite scary, but if you can put it on a middle-aged and down-and-out man like Arthur, you will feel very sad , And it's the kind of pathetic that doesn't deserve your sympathy.

Being beaten, no one was beating him, but Wu Wei performed very seriously. In his world, three men were beating him. He wanted to resist, but he was unable to resist. He was knocked down to the ground, surrounded by three men. Amidst the laughter, he was repeatedly kicked hard.

The revolver that was inadvertently exposed during the day, you would think he was ridiculous at that time, but when the gunshot sounded, one of them was headshot directly.

One company was shot several times, one leg was shot, and he fled frantically.

The dozen or so spectators in the room were completely ignored by Wu Wei. He was in the middle of the scene right now. Director Phillips completely ignored the others, squatting on the ground, as close as possible, watching Wu Wei's performance, He clenched his fists tightly and trembled slightly.

In his line of sight, it was the same scene as Wu Wei.

Arthur, who stood up, was dazed for a few seconds, but his eyes gradually became firmer and became more and more crazy.

Then, the sound of announcing the station in the subway made him wake up. He found that he had found his true self. Wu Wei's performance was crazy. At that moment, he was Arthur and also a clown. At this moment of transformation , There is no trace of his performance, just like everyone's evaluation of him in "The Dark Knight", he didn't act, because he is a clown.

Back in time, he returned to the moment when he was the Joker.

In the room, Wu Wei raised his arms and held nothing in his hands. Everyone knew that he was holding a gun at the moment.

Not only did he have courage, but he also became smarter. He guarded the subway gate and had to kill the guy who bullied him. When the radio announced that the door was about to close, the guy ran out and limped, and then Arthur chased him out.

Wu Wei's footsteps, those few steps, are very close to the clown in the performance state, the clown performer on the stage and on the street, the pants are raised high, the socks are exposed, and the pair of leather shoes are playful and elegant. Not dignified.

The clown walks, fast, and in small steps. The clown at this time is still the performer clown, not the clown who disrupted Gotham City, but Arthur is gone.

Pull the trigger, knock it down, walk up to it, refill the gun, and fire all the bullets at once, and then run in the light under the night.

There was no one in the place just now, he lacked the feeling that I am also the best in the crowd, afraid, scared, at a loss, and ran out of the subway station.

In the dark night, it is a street with people coming and going, not an empty underground. Here, Wu Wei is running. In this room, there is no restraint, no restraint by space, and no restraint by the people around him.

Everyone here has read the script. Wu Wei told everyone very clearly that we allow laymen to exist, but we need you to do your own thing. Here, a person who has never had a deep understanding of the script or the clown, I can't feel the charm of Wu Wei's performance at all.

That segment was not a dance, but more like a process of self-affirmation after going through the ups and downs of life. After running wildly, in the public bathroom, there was a mirror in front of him, but what Arthur looked at was not the mirror.

This solo dance, when reading the script, everyone knows that it must be a huge turning point. Compared with the turning point of behavior and events, what is needed here is Wu Wei's best performance, so that the audience can accept a one-man solo movie. The process of changing roles.

In Arthur's eyes, at first it was fear, fear, hesitation, bewilderment, and a bit of secret joy. His whole body was trembling. He needed to move his body to control his uncontrollable trembling. The body, a few stretching movements, Arthur's eyes changed very complicatedly, began to be firm, began to gain brilliance, and began to become crazier.

Arthur is gone, the Joker is here.

Just like this character, in the dark and closed bathroom, in the dirty and messy environment, he grows like weeds and completes the blooming of self-salvation. He needs to be recognized by others, needs others to see his changes, and needs others to see his changes. Let those who deny themselves know that the little pity in your eyes is no longer that him.

Some people say that when you are not embarrassed, others are embarrassed.

There was an assistant to the person in charge of the distribution company at the scene. He has not read the script, but he has read "The Dark Knight" and comics, and he thinks he understands the role of "Joker". He admitted that in "The Dark Knight" Wu Wei The performance is ceiling-level, a classic that is truly difficult to replicate.

But is the performance at this moment really a clown?Why is there embarrassment everywhere, does the clown also have to counterattack from a humble little guy to become a big guy?

Unable to hold back a smile, Wu Wei was still immersed in his performance, with nothing in his eyes.

Director Phillips glanced back at the assistant, and unceremoniously signaled him to go out. He now hated everyone who interrupted the performance at this moment. He had been amazed by Wu Wei's performance time and time again during the filming of Arthur's Little Bottom.

I have talked about it, but the finished version in Phillips' mind is still referring to the clown in "The Dark Knight". He also thinks that the evolved clown should look like that at the last moment of the film.

But today's performance overturned all his cognitions. He felt that he was wrong. As the director of a movie, he actually had a different idea from the leading male lead. If there was no performance, he would still be able to After some discussion, with this performance, Phillips, who had already had a deep understanding of the script, knew that Wu Wei did not compile the script, but made himself a clown, simulating the life of a clown from the perspective of a clown.

The end of this play is definitely not a complete clown, but a crazy clown, so that the timeline of this play can be echoed with the timeline of "The Dark Knight", but there is a long time gap in between , if it was the complete clown so early, would there still be Batman in Gotham?The whole city has already been subverted by him.

Since it is different, the way of acting and the performance effect should be different. As a director, Phillips did not dare to think about it. He simulated several stages of the clown, and found that no matter how he simulated, it seemed that it was not the same taste.

Today, he knows what a real clown looks like?
In Wu Wei's performance, the clown has a complete life. Wu Wei will show what he looks like in a certain period of time or in a certain event.

Phillips is looking forward to what the 'original' version of the Joker will look like?The complete clown makes everyone intoxicated, whether they like it or not, the state of Wu Wei's performance will let you understand the complexity of this character to a certain extent, just like an interesting puzzle , will make you unable to help but want to solve it, even if it is cruel, it does not prevent you from solving puzzles as a way of entertainment.

The biggest employer is the actors in front of him, so Phillips is not very interested in watching these people today. He is like hysteria, and he pulls Wu Wei to start a discussion that belongs to two people. Phillips also has his own ideas about clowns. I understand, he hopes to get the resonance of Wu Wei, and then present it through his superb acting skills.

This clown is not just a prequel of "The Dark Knight", nor is it the history of the clown's growth that everyone simply thinks.

What Wu Wei is performing is the clown himself, his life, not the clowns at various stages that everyone thinks are continuing the film's context.

The two movies may have a time difference of a few years. Under the conventional understanding, they must be in the same line, continuing from the front to the back.

It's a movie. It's different from Wu Wei's performance now. His life is his life. The timeline of the movie story is a few years away, and the clown he plays will be different.

In the state of a clown, even if it is a perfect body, there will be changes every once in a while. This change, people who are not really able to immerse themselves in the plot of the movie and the role of the clown, will definitely not notice it, let alone understand it. , There will even be doubts about his performance, and he feels that his performance is wrong.

From this day on, the real talker in the crew became Wu Wei, not because he is an investor, but because the director is convinced of his performance, so it is related to all clown performances, the director is a guest, and they are all watching the fun The audience, and the other actors he directed are all in line with Wu Wei's performance style.

For the scene of chatting with a counselor, Phillips specially invited an old Hollywood actor, and the message to the other party is also very simple. You act according to the script. As for what kind of state you enter, it depends on the actor opposite you. .

Talk show host, colleague, mother, these roles are all played by Wu Wei with each other. He interprets what is called "drama bully" in his own way. Every scene, the opponent's actors are miserable and inappropriate. It took a lot of money to change one after another, but in Phillips' eyes, everything was worth it.

It's not that Wu Wei's acting is domineering, it's that other people can't handle his plays, Wu Wei's performances are flawless every time, but the actors in the opponent's plays are always naughty.

As for the so-called female number one in the play, the female neighbor has changed six actors to try out the show. Wu Wei is willing to take a role, and they are all matching actors that Warner can find as much as possible according to the script, with various skin colors There are, and there are also shows from various countries, but the effect of the performances is not good.

If it was Phillips' standard before the filming started, there were at least two actresses whose performances were suitable, but now, all he saw on the monitor was Wu Wei, without the other party, crushing the situation.

As a director, under normal circumstances, he would ask Wu Wei to accept it a little bit, or ask him to take the other party for a while. Phillips can't say anything similar in this drama. The plot of this drama may not become a classic. After all, a weak Growth history, no matter how outrageous the performance and setting you have, the surprises in the storyline are limited.

But performances can become classics.

Phillips even believes that in this play, Wu Wei's performance surpasses "The Dark Knight". He is no longer performing, but interpreting a living clown with his life.Phillips has no doubts, if the current Wu Wei puts on the makeup of a clown and goes out to act like a clown, it is guaranteed that the "Buddha broadcast" will come to his door.

Because of the previous filming of "Operation Red Sea", Wu Wei's hair is short, and the skin can use some special equipment to make it look sickly fair in a short time. What about the hair?For this reason, many hair stylists were found, and finally a special effects makeup artist was used to give Wu Wei a medium-length hair.

The crew is not short of money, and in terms of all props and costumes, they also prepare as much as possible to meet the requirements of the director and actors. Every set of clothes, even shirts and socks, is personally selected by Wu Wei.

His figure is so good, there should have been a few scenes showing a very sick body, but he had to cover it with home clothes or nightgowns. In order to show a better effect, he hired the best special effects makeup artist in Hollywood In those few scenes, it took more than ten hours just to do special effects makeup on the body, and it can only look real under the cover of clothes, otherwise it will be exposed all at once.

Others don't have muscles to make fake muscles, but he has good muscle lines. To make him feel sick and thin, he must have clothes to cover up, otherwise the feeling of being very 'strong' cannot be covered up no matter what.

It seems to be a one-man show with a small budget, but it is crazy about every detail. In terms of actors, especially the choice of the female lead who does not have many roles, it is not allowed to have any "okay", "" Words such as 'good' and 'could' appear.

"If you can't find a good one, and the drama is not exciting enough, then use the 'exploring life' scenes to make up for it. It will be even crazier if it is rated R." In the end, Phillips found it at the suggestion of a friend. An entry point, so far, looking for the category of actresses, began to spread...
