Ding Sheng said confidently: "I can only shoot what I am good at. For this book, I will eat and live with the police at the police station for three months in advance to experience life, collect and review all the case files, and I can pat my chest and say: We 80.00% of this play is real material."

Ding Cheng was taken aback, this is not easy, usually the actors experience life, and the director also goes?
"When I was in school or when I first started making films, I would refer to this film and that film, because that was the learning stage. Now as a mature film director, all I have to do is learn from no one."

"Before making a movie, ask yourself to forget all the similar police movies you have seen. If the shooting method, lens use, or overall temperament of a scene is like a certain movie, it must be changed. I definitely don't want to refer to it. I just want to shoot something that belongs to Our gangster movie."

Now that the cooperation is confirmed, Ding Sheng is also willing to share his creative experience with Ding Cheng, and said in detail: "For example, when filming the new criminal police story 2013, I had a symposium with the Publicity Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security. Make gangster movies, gangster movies are a treasure.”

"Later, I read a lot of cases, not only case introductions, but also very internal materials. My feeling is: things in life are far more exciting than making up."

"Even if you only watch one interrogation, all the dialogue in it, even the best screenwriter can't write it!"

"So real things are very powerful, because they are two real people who are having heartfelt conversations and exchanges. Those things can't be touched just by the imagination of the screenwriter."

I couldn't help but took out the script, and continued: "Usually there are two lines in a kidnapping case, one line is the police, and the other line is the bandit. But in our case, there is another line that is the hostage."

"The three lines are very exciting, and the criminal police's investigation and arrest are very thrilling; the robbers are also high-intelligence thugs, and they are arrogantly fighting wits and courage with the criminal police, which is rare."

"The hostages are also very strong. After Mr. Wu himself was kidnapped, he not only did a lot of self-protection work, but even rescued another hostage. The material itself is very cinematic."

“I basically don’t need to do too much processing. I just need to change things that are sensitive or involve certain investigative methods into other ways to tell the story. Try to preserve the sense of reality while also increasing the dramatic conflict and action. .”

Ding Cheng asked curiously, "What have you experienced in the past three months?"

"Followed seven kidnapping cases completely, went to the police together, exercised together, even practiced shooting together, ate and lived together, and sometimes encountered two kidnapping cases in one day."

"From receiving the report to analyzing the case, to identifying the suspect, to arresting him, and coming back for interrogation, he followed the whole process and filmed with a small DV."

Ding Sheng took a sip of wine and said excitedly: "This is very nutritious, because a kidnapping case is a very special type of case. Unlike a murder case, the hostage in a kidnapping case is usually still alive, and it is in progress, so every second counts. It is thrilling and very cinematic. feel."

"Another feature of our film is that there is a lot of video material left behind from the original case. There were TV stations following the filming, and the criminal police also had a set of equipment to follow the film from beginning to end. I will give you all the information later, go back and take a good look."

"Especially the speed of speech, the tone of speech, try to imitate the character of the year, I plan to finish filming a scene and then play back the material of the year, everyone will see if it looks like it. Including camera positions and lighting, I plan to be more documentary, like a documentary. "

Ding Cheng frowned and asked, "Would the audience be uncomfortable with documentary techniques?"

Ding Sheng laughed loudly, and explained: "Don't take the documentary shooting technique as dirt!"

"As long as the light effects and images are well grasped, the documentary technique will bring the audience an immersive experience. As long as the audience wants to see something, the machine will push it over immediately."

"At that time, let the machine carry the whole process of filming, without using a tripod, and freely circle around you. For example, in a chase scene, the conventional shooting machine should keep a certain distance and chase synchronously."

"If you put the machine on the front of the car, as long as the car crashes, the lens will be five centimeters in front of the crash site. Do you think the audience is exciting?"

"Use a method that is close to the characters in the play to force the audience into the scene and let the audience participate in the scene. This is the real power, and I need to let the audience see this power."

Ding Cheng nodded secretly. He has a specialization in surgery, and he deserves to be a professional tough guy.

I am no stranger to suspenseful police and gangster films. Whether it is a crime mystery or a shadow chase, the paths are similar.

After finishing speaking, the director looked at Ding Cheng. The reason why he chose him was firstly because of his excellent acting skills, and secondly because this kid had a lot of experience in filming criminal investigation dramas.

In particular, the big villain in Mystery of Crime is amazing, which is why he tried every means to invite him to join him.

"As soon as this case came out, I felt that sooner or later someone would make it into a movie because it was so vivid!"

"Especially with a TV station following the filming and making such a wonderful program, I think as long as the old men would like to watch it. But at that time, my buddy was just a commercial director, so I didn't even dare to think about such a good subject."

"Until filming criminal police stories and experiencing life in the police force, Cao Zhigang lived in the opposite bed with me. He was the first to rush in back then, and he also made first-class contributions."

"During the chat, I asked him, you specialize in kidnapping cases, which case impressed you the most over the years?"

"He didn't say anything, just said that this is the case."

"Because many criminals in the kidnapping case are actually thieves, and the criminal police are scared when they see it. But in this case, the opponent is very strong, and even they will have a sense of accomplishment after winning it."

"The more we talked, the more excited I was, and I kept adding details. Many people who handled the case back then are still working on the front line. I got to know all those people through him, and each person added different details."

"The previous few dramas were basically saved by me. Only after you do this work will you understand that real things cannot be made up."

"For example, the main criminal Huazi you played, when the criminal police escorted him to meet his girlfriend, he naturally chatted with the captain Liu Ye will play, and it was almost a joke."

"After a while, I said that the fall just now was terrible... Then I said it's okay, my old waist can withstand this..."

"100% are the original words, you asked the screenwriter who has never seen this material to write like this?"

"I don't even dare to kill him!"

Ding Cheng re-read the script and felt heavy. Didn't expect it to be so realistic?

"I remember when I was watching a show on TV, the criminal police pushed the suspect down, and then of course took out a grenade in his pocket!"

"In fact, the insurance was not removed back then. The release-style grenade, as long as you pull out the safety, let go of it for a few seconds, and all the surrounding meters will be destroyed. Are you saying that it is exciting?"

"This time I want to play something different and create a particularly free atmosphere for you. Usually, if you arrange a lot of light positions on the scene and draw a lot of moving points on the ground, it is easy to create a kind of restriction for the actors."

"What kind of state do I want to pursue this time? After you have mastered the words, it's best to get down in one go. You can't stop in the middle, and my machine doesn't stop."

"Act at will, without considering the camera position at all. I may shoot you on the back of the head, or let the machine go around to the front, it's completely random."

"Nothing on set will affect your performance. You can do whatever you want. I want each scene to have a different feeling, and the lines can be changed. When you are all comfortable, this one will pass!"
