Actors start from the college entrance examination

Chapter 475 Du Sir
The biggest gain from this cooperation is Du Qifeng. Although he is not a director, it also makes Su Ze feel the strength of a man standing at the top of gold.

Chatting and knowing that there is a so-called Yinhe creative team, yes, unlike ordinary movies, Yinhe's works do not have a complete script before and during shooting.

Start shooting as soon as you have an outline, write while shooting and get it right!

Films like "PTU" and "Wen Sparrow" have been filmed for several years, and they are so capricious when they think of where to shoot.

As a fan of Galaxy Video, Su Ze feels that screenwriters can basically be divided into two types.The first type is fate, Buddhist principles, evil human nature and all kinds thereof.

In the movies "Big Guy" and "Detective" with Wei Jiahui as the main screenwriter, they usually like to discuss the above content, and the song has sung "I also like to use Johnnie To's expertise to expose the truth of fate"

So in fact, movies like "Gunfire" and "Exile" are not about brotherhood, but about the philosophy of what hatred means to a person who has lost his memory.

In the films "Gunfire" and "Underworld" with You Naihai as the main screenwriter, they usually like to show brotherhood and the crisis of brotherhood. This is a relatively classic proposition of Hong Kong-style police films.

Wu Yu, Senlin Lingdong and others have expressed it in their works, in fact, what is expressed in it is the fear of the collapse of the old order.

Compared with the plot, Su Ze prefers Du Qifeng's thoughts on the role.Repetition is his favorite method when designing characters and plots.

There are two levels of meaning: one is that the same character repeatedly performs a certain behavior or repeats a certain line to portray the image of the character.

For example, the character played by Zheng Haonan in "Peace is the Most Valuable" deepens the audience's impression of his greed by repeatedly repeating the line of adding money, and finally fights with people in the back compartment of the truck, and still shouts for more money before dying.

The robber played by Ekin Cheng has repeatedly encountered the gambling policeman played by Lin Xue. Every time he encounters a policeman who is addicted to gambling, he will hold a ritual-like guessing coin, and Lin Xue will guess wrong, unwilling to reconcile, guess again, guess wrong, and continue to repeat .

The second level is the repeated occurrence of the same scene, thus creating a certain dramatic effect.

In "True Heroes", the gangsters played by Liu Qingyun and Liming went to the same place in Southeast Asia to meet the same person, and then they had a break with their subordinates under the same coconut tree.

In "Exile", Huang Qiusheng's group and Ren Dahua's group entered the same black market clinic, and the two groups met again after a shopping trip.

Fate is everywhere.

Because of this cooperation, Su Ze observes and studies on the set every day. Du likes to use wide-angle, especially to shoot characters with wide-angle.

Ever asked why?
His answer is simple: because a scene requires multiple actors to be in the shot at the same time, the wide-angle viewing angle is larger than that of the standard shot, that's all.

Moreover, the wide-angle has a long depth of field, and the distance between the foreground and the foreground will be exaggerated and enlarged, so that the layering of multiple characters in the same frame will be strengthened, emphasizing the overall perspective effect.

Of course, the most classic is the long shot. This accident also had a scene that lasted more than five minutes, which is not much less difficult than the 8-minute big event of the year.

The possibility of camera movement, the dialogue actions of characters, the relationship between the camera and the subject, changes in the environment...

Immersive Su Ze also found more details, such as lighting.The Galaxy Imaging team likes to use stage-like overhead lights, the kind that are hung high on cranes.

It is directly at 90 degrees to the camera and shot vertically from above the characters. Under this kind of lighting, the faces of the people and the picture will be divided due to the difference in illuminance. It can be classified as a strange modeling light with a strong sense of stage.

There are also positions, even for the simplest shots, the atmosphere is created through the positions of different characters in the same picture, and the tension of the picture is strengthened.

It is a pity that this cooperation did not try a gunfight scene, Johnnie To's gunfight can be described as unique.After the shot was fired, a lot of smoke came out from the tip of the gun, and blood mist spewed out from the body the moment the person was shot, which was the first of Du's style.

Another master of shooting gunfights is Wu Yusen. In his own words: he shoots gunfight movies in the way of musicals, and the characters are always in a state of large-scale motion, rolling, jumping, falling to the ground, and spinning.

But Johnnie To's films don't see this. Before the gunfight, there must be some atmosphere exaggerated. This atmosphere is created by the relative static state of the characters, and then as long as the gun is drawn and fired, it must be bloody.

Su Ze has filmed shootouts, both Changjinhu and Wushuang.The difficulty is the so-called point of view conversion, that is, if there are many participants in a shootout, it is necessary to use a more scientific method to clearly show everyone's participation in the shootout.

For example, if A shoots a gun, how did he do it, hit B, and how does he react after being shot?Do you die immediately or fight back?

And the shootout also has CDEFG, how about them?How many shots were fired?How many people died?Where did the undead hurt?

In addition to the exchange of fire, there are other situations that may change the situation of the battle. How to use them?How to organize?

The point of view problem is not handled well, and it is easy to make a mess of the shootout.

It all depends on the skill of the director.

I have to say that Johnnie To is very good, he is the most personal director he has worked with since his debut, bar none.

Every time a work is released, there are always some new things worth exploring. This is like a martial arts master who put you down with the Eighteen Palms of Subduing the Dragon in the first year. Use the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms + Nine Yin White Bone Claws to bring you down again.

Do you think this guy is a dick?
"Ptu" marks the establishment of his personal style, "Underworld" represents the ultimate allegory of human nature and politics, and "Detective" adds the overlap of illusion and reality, breaking through the limit of previous narrative levels.

Generally speaking, none of his films during that period were inferior, and most of them had the style of masters. A few of them stood out and reached the standard of masterpieces in the hearts of ordinary movie fans.

Especially in the past ten years, Johnnie To was able to survive the Great Depression when film companies went bankrupt every day, relying on films to support films.

One hand is the bloody storm of gangsters and police robbers, and he has been praised for showing his personality.One hand is the flirting of urban men and women, catering to the market and making a lot of money at the box office.

Interspersed with private movies expressing personal feelings, this boss is more multi-faceted and passionate than you can imagine.

heroism?

Ruthlessly tear off their protagonist's halo, just like ordinary people, vicious but innocent, cunning but stupid, utilitarian and loyal.

Then throw them into the arena of film, throw some shit luck or bad luck at will, and be dominated by the cruel sense of fate. In the concise lines and sharp storyboards, weaving the gloomy legend of Du Shijianghu.

However, Su Ze captures the occasional flashes of a kind of distinct heroism, that is, the arrogance of knowing that there is nothing to be done, which is particularly moving.

Two people want to kill one person, while the other two people want to protect this person.Brothers who fought side by side in the past, even if they turned against each other, they still had to drink soup and eat together.

If you're lucky, the co-star will be on the verge of breaking out, and he will be able to run away with peace of mind after deceiving others.He was so lucky that he couldn't keep him, so he had to grab a sum of money to make his orphans and widows live better.

No matter how bad the luck is, the orphan and widow are arrested, and the group of people will give up their gold to save people, and they will all die calmly.

it is more than words!
