The Director's Road of Airflow

Chapter 14 "Life and Death"

The beginning of the story of "Twelve Angry Men" is a young boy suspected of killing his father. The court is about to make a final verdict on him. A jury of twelve men will re-examine the evidence in the court trial. , They decide the ultimate fate of the boy.If all 12 of them believe that the boy is guilty, the boy will be sentenced to death, and as long as one person thinks that the case still exists, the jury discussion will continue.

At the beginning of the film, only one person believed that the boy was innocent, and the main body of the film is how the jurors discovered the logical loopholes in the chain of evidence and changed their positions. In the end, all 12 people believed that the boy was innocent and walked out of the court.

To complete the short film shooting, the script adaptation must first be completed.

When their group officially started discussing the script of the short film "Life and Death", there were 40 hours left.

Jiang Tingting proposes that the three roles are No. 1 who thought the boy was innocent at the beginning, No. 2 who has a bad temper and finally changed his mind, and No. 3 who was born in a slum.Lu Ming played No. 1, Yu Han played No. 2, and Ge Yangbing played No. 3.This is their character code name. There is no character name in the script, and the dialogue is directly promoted through character conflicts to promote the development of the plot. The whole process of their short film is that No. 3 is persuaded by No. 1 and turns to think that the boy is innocent.

Yu Han first said: "Our script can only prepare a rough outline, and the specific performance depends on the actors, otherwise it will be too late."

Ge Yangbing: "I agree with Yu Han's opinion."

Lu Ming: "I have no problem either."

It's not like Lu Ming couldn't guess the little Jiujiu in Yu Han's heart.Playing on the spot, the actors have a higher degree of freedom, which means that the role of the scene is uncertain. Looking at the desire to win and lose written on Yu Han's face, it is not difficult to guess that he is probably preparing to steal the scene.Come and come, soldiers come to cover the water and earth, Lu Ming is actually not afraid of the villain.

The props were in place, the photographer and director were in place, and when the filming officially started, they had 35 hours left.

No. 1: "I don't think the current chain of evidence can prove that the boy must have killed his father, so I vote the boy not guilty. Our opinion determines whether he will sit in the electric chair. I can't just make a hasty decision. "

No. 2: "Everything is already obvious. The boy killed his father. The witnesses all said so. The old man downstairs heard the boy shouting 'I'm going to kill you'. The woman on the opposite side saw the boy holding Knife, everything is too obvious." After speaking, No. 2 stood up from his seat.Yu Han designed an action for No. 2 to look at the electric fan next to him, showing that the room is stuffy and hot, and No. 2 is already very impatient.

No. 3 was a little cautious, and his statement was a little vague: "I think all the evidence points to the boy's guilt, and I still prefer the boy to be the murderer."

At this moment, Number 1 stood up, put his hands on the table, and leaned forward slightly. This was an oppressive gesture, and he hoped that the two people opposite him would take his next words seriously.

No. 1: "The old man said that he heard the boy say that he wanted to kill his father, but there should have been a last tram passing by at that time. It is absolutely doubtful that it is true.”

No. 2 expressed dissatisfaction with No. 1's statement, saying: "It took only a few seconds for the tram to pass by. No one knows whether the boy shouted at that time. This is not enough evidence."

No. 1 argues: "But this shows that the authenticity of the evidence is doubtful. We have to re-examine this case. We are not playing a game, but will really determine the life and death of a boy. We must be responsible."

No. 2's dissatisfaction escalated, he stood up from his seat, and said emotionally: "I know all too well about children who grew up in this slum, they are all punks, worthless and reckless, he will make It's not a surprise, that's who he is."

No. 3, who had been silent all this time, suddenly frowned, and said, "I'm from a slum, I don't think I'm worthy to sit here and discuss the case with you." He stood up as he spoke, making gestures to leave the room. No. 1 stopped him and persuaded him to return to his seat.

In the second round of voting, only No. 2 insisted that the boy should be sentenced to death, and No. 3 defected.

At this time, No. 2 waved his hands excitedly, walked back and forth in the room, and said loudly angrily as he walked: "You know that this boy is a murderer, but you make so many excuses for him, you are completely wasting everyone." time."

No. 1 still insisted: "We may release a murderer, but what is even more frightening is that we may send an innocent person to the electric chair. I am not being arrogant, I respect evidence and logic, but the current chain of evidence still exists Vulnerabilities, I'm raising reasonable doubts."

At this time, No. 3 raised a new question: "The boy is nearly 10cm shorter than his father. If he stabbed his father to death with a dagger, the dagger should not stay at such a high position."

No. 2 said cursingly that he could demonstrate. He took the dagger specially prepared by No. 1, which was the same style as the murder weapon, and wanted to show it to the other two.

At this time, Yu Han grabbed Lu Ming's collar, and Lu Ming staggered. At this time, the action that was not discussed during the script reading earlier seemed to be improvised by Yu Han.Ge Yangbing watched from the side, and felt that Yu Han was really hardworking, seized every opportunity to express himself, and he was really emotional when he started the show, and his acting skills were indeed much higher than his own singing and dancing idol background.

Lu Ming cooperates with Yu Han's movements, and this kind of improvisation is within a reasonable range. The next step, according to the negotiated plot, should be Yu Han holding the dagger downwards, and there is still a little distance from Lu Ming. Demonstrate the movement, and then let go. Lu Ming said: "I just said that this is also possible. The location of the dagger is not enough to rule out the boy's suspicion."

In the next second, Yu Han pushed Lu Ming to the ground, and Lu Ming's head was hit to the ground again. With a buzz, he was a little dazed at the moment. This is not an impromptu stage performance. Why didn't Yu Han act according to the script?

Ge Yangbing was also startled by Yu Han's sudden action. Before he could react, Yu Han had already pressed Lu Ming to the ground, and slashed around in the air with a dagger, then shouted loudly: "I'm going to kill you!" .”

There is nothing wrong with an actor wanting to express himself in a competitive variety show, but it is beyond the reasonable range to push the opponent actor to the ground at once without prior notice. The series of exaggerated body movements is to prevent Lu Ming from taking over the role and not giving Lu Ming any room to play. He wants to create an effect of his own acting skills bursting out and completely suppressing the opponent's actors.

Director Guo Jiacheng realized that something was wrong and immediately shouted "card".

As soon as the filming ended, Yu Han pretended to rush forward and asked Lu Ming: "Are you okay? I was really sorry just now. I suddenly felt that it was coming. I was addicted to drama. I couldn't control it. I moved too much. It didn't hurt me." Is it your turn? I see that you are suddenly confused."

The short film shot stopped, but the variety show shot continued.

Lu Ming felt that this person was quite contrived and funny.Inside and outside the words, there is still a connotation that I can't handle his scenes, and I am "dumbfounded".Let's be polite and care about yourself first, so that people can't make mistakes.

Lu Ming's head fainted, but in front of the camera, he waved his hands and said: "It's okay."

The author has something to say: the update is still later than the agreed time, sorry.
