Chapter 39 Entering the Play

As long as you make an art film, the atmosphere on the set will be more dull than that of a commercial film.Commercial films cater to the tastes of the public and pursue market value. Most of the shooting techniques are based on audio-visual sensory stimulation, and the themes are easy to understand, while art films are more in-depth. The target audience is the intellectual and cultural class. Disadvantages of the times, etc. The subject matter is often profound and heavy, full of highly controversial connotations and extensions. When shooting, it requires deep thinking and strong but not necessarily ostentatious emotional collisions.An excellent art film has extremely high requirements on the director and actors. Under the premise of severe pressure on both sides, it is really difficult to have a relaxed and lively atmosphere.At this time, it depends on everyone's self-regulation ability.

"Brokeback Mountain" is a controversial film with depressing and heavy emotions and a tragic ending. All experienced actors know that after entering the set, the atmosphere of the crew will not be too good, so they try to keep it relaxed before shooting mood, so there is Anne who always catches Vogt and Jack jokingly, and her character does bring some joy to everyone.However, after the filming officially started, Anne's always grinning smile faded away. Under the guidance of the director team, she calmed down her emotions and adjusted her emotions to match the tone of the movie.

Annie and Michelle didn't stay on the set for too long. Vogt and Jack were the main part of the early filming. Their roles didn't appear until one third of the whole play, so they left temporarily and devoted themselves to other work .

Although there is no Anne who loves to be funny, Vogt, who has a lot in common with her character, also brought a little joke to the crew.Because he is very curious about everything and can play with everything!

This "what" is not just a person!Whether it's Harney, the border collie responsible for herding sheep, or a flock of sheep rented from locals for photography, Vogt can play with them with great interest.A ewe was just about to give birth, and Vogt went over to watch it on purpose. At the critical moment, he helped the leader and won the favor of the shepherd. Originally, the shepherd was worried that the crew would hurt his sheep, but Vogt's "love" made him He was so relieved that he stopped staring at them so closely.This result made Ang Lee praise or scold Vogt.

The two protagonists, Ennis and Jack, are set as western cowboys. Among them, Jack is still a rodeo player, who claims that "no horse can leave me behind", so the riding skills are naturally very good.Before the official shooting, Jack has been training for a full month. He tortured him who has a relatively static personality and usually only works out in the gym before learning how to ride a horse.But when it came to filming, there were still some problems.On the contrary, Vogt, who had not been trained in advance, stepped on the horse's back with his long legs, his movements were smooth, his sitting posture was elegant, and he was noble and reserved like a British nobleman with a profound background. , very well-behaved.The staff who originally wanted to assist him were dumbfounded and stared at him with their mouths wide open.

As soon as Vogt's smug smile appeared, Ang Lee's voice sounded: "Voger, Ennis is a boy with low education and rude manners, adjust your posture, don't always remember to be handsome ,ah?"

Everyone around laughed lowly.

Vogt's smile collapsed, unwilling to convert his perfect riding posture taught by the British Riding Club into a rough cowboy style, with a slack neck and not so straight poles, naturally bent and pressed down, hands and feet Arrange it casually.Vogt gently clamped the horse's belly to let Orr (the horse's name) walk a few steps, and raised his voice to ask, "Is this okay?"

Li An kept watching him adjust, with an extremely serious expression: "Move the body's center of gravity back a little, I need a sense of heaviness, Vogue, tightness."

Vogt followed his words and was about to speak again when a horse suddenly walked past Vogt with unsteady steps, and Jack sat immediately, with a hint of panic in his eyes.Vogt made a decisive decision and immediately extended his hand: "Jack!"

Jack instinctively stretched out his hand, and Vogt quickly pulled him away from the horse.As soon as he leaned on Vogt, the horse he was riding neighed and straightened up!

"Hey! Hey! Watch out! Don't come near!" the staff yelled!

"Are you okay, Jack?" Li An asked worriedly as he walked over quickly.

Jack was still in shock, swallowing: "Ah, ah... I'm fine." He turned to look at Vogt: "Thank you for saving me."

"You're welcome." Vogt patted him on the back, "easy, Jack, don't blame it, maybe you hurt it, so it had to protest to you." His tone was very relaxed.This level of startled horse is nothing at all, a good rider can easily appease his mount.

"Yeah..." Vogt's calm attitude infected Jack. He lowered his head in embarrassment, and then saw that he was still holding Vogt's arm, and quickly let go.

Vogt raised his fist and touched him. "You can, Jack."

Jack couldn't help smiling and nodded: "You too."

There are always many problems during the shooting process, and Jack's little accident is just one of them.The most surprising thing is Vogt. Everyone was worried that Vogt, who was the last to enter the group and the most inexperienced, would be a big problem, but his performance was unexpectedly stable.Although he doesn't follow the rules very well, he has a strong learning ability, a flexible mind, has his own set of ideas and understanding, and can put forward many constructive suggestions for the role. Facing Ang Lee's meticulous and terrifying guidance, he is patiently taught , very cooperative.His integration into the plot and characters is even smoother and more natural than that of Jack.

Of course, Jack's performance is also quite good.

Ennis and Jack went from being strangers to getting to know each other, talking to each other, and setting up camp on the mountain together. The filming was almost done in one go, and it was incredibly smooth.

In the filming on Brokeback Mountain, the two leading actors are doing trivial things every day, such as riding horses, leading horses, chopping firewood, cooking, drinking, talking... It's very simple and life-like, just like a pair of good friends on a beautiful mountain together It's the same as camping, the difference is that it's a "job" and they can't just walk away.

Although there was a camera crew not far away, the two people in charge of the performance naturally ignored their existence.After putting themselves into the roles, there are only two human beings in the world, Ennis and Jack have already judged each other in their hearts during the long and bit by bit getting along with each other——

Ah, it's a nice fellow, and it's nice to have him here, not to be alone!

Later, the interaction between Jack and Vogt has become tacit and natural, and they can give the most suitable response without even asking the director.

They'll be great friends, on and off screen. ——It can be seen from their smiles.

Both Ennis and Jack have a crush on each other, but in their cognition, this kind of affection is like a friend, without any other special feelings, and they don't think in other directions.

Until Ennis takes a shower naked in front of Jack.

Out of politeness, Jack didn't watch Ennis take a bath, he looked in the opposite direction, his body was stiff and motionless, his eyes were a little dull, his face was slightly red, and he swallowed slightly in his throat——

He reacts to a man's nakedness...

This discovery made him realize that things were going in a twisted direction.

"Good!" The director's voice drew a pause for this shot.

Jake Gyllenhaal suddenly pulled away from the role of Jake Twist, his face was still red, and he couldn't help turning around to look at Vogt behind him.

It was a bold nude shot just now. Vogt really took off all his clothes in front of so many people present. Although the key parts were protected, Vogt's good figure can be seen at a glance.

Now Vogt's body has been wrapped in a large towel.His expression was a little awkward, and it was the first time that he was naked in full view. Although he was more open-minded, he couldn't be completely indifferent for a while-an actor had previously rejected the role of Ennis because of his too large a scale.Everyone understood his mood, and no one made fun of him because of this, and brought him a towel silently and quickly.

Vogt hurried into the tent and got back dressed.

"Are you okay?" Vogt dressed and walked out of the tent, and Jack asked.

"Don't worry, I'm fine." Vogt smiled, slightly pursing his lips, his consciousness has returned to Vogt's, but his movements and expressions are still on Ennis.This is a flaw in his performance: "My heart is not that fragile. Also, thank you." He asked Jack in advance that this scene must not be ng, and Jack did not live up to his trust.

"It's very brave of you to take this role." Jack couldn't help but say.Not every 19-year-old boy has the courage to take on a movie like this.

"Don't make it sound like you're much older than me, Jack." Vogt put his hands in his pockets. "It's a good job."

"You know what our next play is, don't you?" Jack stared at him.

"Of course." Vogt nodded silently. "We'll get it done."

"Yeah..." Jack lowered his head and kicked the dirt under his feet, his expression was blocked by a wide cowboy hat.

"Vogt, Jack, the director is calling you!" the assistant director shouted.

"Here we come." Vogt replied, shaking his chin at Jack, "shall we go?"

Jack put his hand on the cowboy hat: "Yeah."

Because it was filmed in the open air, and the surrounding area was deserted, the crew set up a lot of tents.Ang Li watched the replay of the scene just now in one of the tents, his expression focused and calm.Next to him was a thick notebook, filled with densely packed words and some diagrams.

"Director." Jack took off his cowboy hat and said.

"Here you come? Sit down." Ang Lee raised his head and smiled when he saw Vogt and Jack.When Vogt and Jack sat down, he spoke approvingly: "You guys did a great job just now."

"Thanks," Jack said, not too cheerfully.

Vogt nodded blankly.

Their cold reaction did not arouse Li An's disgust, and even, the appreciation in his eyes became stronger.

Because Jack and Vogt are clearly still acting, they are still Jack and Ennis at this moment.After several days of filming, Jack and Vogt's switching between themselves and their roles has become less clear.No more "acting", they are Jack and Ennis.

Jack has this ability, and his character has a lot in common with his own personality, so Ang Lee is not surprised by his excellent performance.But it’s amazing how far Vogt is playing his complete opposite.

Ang Lee has more confidence in the next scene.

"You all know what the next scene is, I know it will be difficult, but I have come to this point, I hope the two of you can shoot it well with me." Li Anwen said, "Just like I did to What you said has nothing to do with gender, it starts with the accumulation of good feelings, and through a certain medium, love is born. This is just a love, nothing more, don't exaggerate it, face it bravely..."
