The Right Way to Open a Perfect Life

Shen Yan's version of "Old Boy" is actually quite different from the previous "Old Boy".

The "Old Boy" in the previous life was just a 40-minute micro-movie, and although it was very popular back then, it is undeniable that there were obvious shortcomings in filming and plot.

Shen Yan borrowed the core of "Old Boy" from his previous life, and then carried out a comprehensive upgrade and improvement.

Most obviously, his version of "Old Boy" only mentions the plot on campus occasionally, and it lasts only three or two minutes, without much involvement.

The plot mainly focuses on the story of Huang Dabao and Guo Xiaoshuai, two down-and-out men who worked hard in society and then pursued their dreams after they became adults.

Whether it's the funny plots or the connection of the plot, they are much more natural and mature than the previous version.

In the "July [-]" movie, Huang Dabao presided over three weddings as the master of ceremonies, and these three weddings were filmed today.

And these three scenes, in fact, all have obvious representative meanings, and they were specially arranged by Shen Yan.

The first scene showed Huang Dabao's downfall.

The second scene shows the world's rejection and ridicule of the heterogeneous. A middle-aged person who wants nothing but pursues his dreams and goes to the Happy Boys with young people. Isn't this a fool?

The third scene showed another attitude in life. After a series of farces, Huang Dabao returned to normal. Changed, no longer pessimistic, but with an optimistic attitude, to enjoy life and cherish life The most obvious, the first scene and the second scene, when he was beaten and ridiculed by the guests, he felt very embarrassed , very angry, but in the third scene, when he was teased again, he could face it calmly, and even easily resolved the embarrassment. In the end, he also got the kindness of others.

So in the final analysis, this drama is actually about life. Everyone's life has a lot of filth and carelessness, there are times when you are low, and there are times when you don't have the courage to continue living.

But looking back, when we have walked all the way, we may suddenly find that life will not change because of your attitude, but your attitude can change your life.

If you look at the same thing with different eyes, you will see completely different things.

So, life is a mirror, if you laugh, he will laugh, and if you cry, he will cry too.

Of course, this is the core content of this movie. On the bright side, this is still a comedy without too heavy a plot. The tone of the whole movie is also mainly relaxed and joyful.

"Give us the warmest applause, and invite us, the newcomers who have sprouted from old trees, to enter the venue."

On the stage, Huang Bo wore a white suit that didn't fit well, and was enlivening the atmosphere with a microphone, but the scene seemed very deserted, all the guests in the audience were silent, and there was no applause from the audience.

Embarrassment appeared on Huang Bo's face, but he soon laughed again and continued with the next link.

"stop!

Shen Yan stopped shouting with the loudspeaker, Huang Bo came over and said, "Isn't it appropriate?"

Shen Yan stretched out his hand and lifted it up, Huang Bo gestured an OK gesture, returned to the stage and said that the scene just now was re-enacted, "Come on! Pull back the No. [-] machine, turn up the light by one shade, two Grandpa and aunt, you can act whatever you want, don't restrain yourself, don't be nervous, just laugh when you should, okay? Others, pay attention, no matter what happens on stage, you keep your current expressions and movements, and don't move at all. "

While Shen Yan was directing the crew, he went to the two elders and aunts to talk about the play.

"This...what's the matter with this? Why did it pass? What did my husband say to Huang Bo just now? What does this gesture mean?"

On the side, the five daughters of the Shen family were all there, and they were all fine. It would be interesting to stay here and watch her husband filming.Shen Laosi's pretty face was a little dazed at the moment, she is also an actress, but she didn't understand at all, what is the meaning of Shen Yan's communication with Huang Bo just now? So the tone is mainly relaxed. Brother Bo’s performance just now was a bit too deep. It was the scene where he felt embarrassed when he saw that there was no applause in response. Such a profound performance would be a bit contrary to comedy, so my husband raised Raising your hand, it means that the acting should be more open, not too deep, Brother Bo also understood later, and the acting in the future will not be so deep.”

After Yang Mi finished speaking, he glanced at the four younger sisters, and added: "This is the communication method between top directors and top actors. You can understand it if you don't understand it."

The second child, the third child, the fourth child and the fifth child curled their lips in unison, showing dissatisfaction on their pretty faces. The fourth child Shen frowned and said, "Sister, you are a bit arrogant now."

Yang Mi shrugged and said: "There is no way, because of your strength, you have to work harder, otherwise, when you go out in the future, people will say that the acting skills of the women in the Shen family are worse than the other, how embarrassing is that?"

"Sister, don't pretend, okay, I'm a bit full from eating in the morning, I'm afraid I'll throw up if I can't help it." Shen Laowu patted the shoulder of the eldest sister and said solemnly.

Yang Mi backhanded an elbow, but was easily caught by Di Lieba, "I didn't hit it, just a little bit." The filming of the crew is still going on, and Shen Yan's ability is once again reflected at this moment, the whole crew is completely under his control Among them, all departments and units only need to follow his instructions. He said that pulling the camera back, after pulling it back, must be the most correct result.

This also made the crew completely convinced him again. They were really convinced. The admiration had nothing to do with him, whether he was Yang Mi's husband or not. 3, all kinds of tomahawk dunks, 5-degree hand-changing flying dunks, flying dunks from the free throw line, long-range three-pointers in the middle circle, etc. This is the suppression of pure strength, and it is impossible to be convinced.

"Come on, two newcomers, come on, this is the fruit of happiness, whoever can bite the other will be the master of the house."

In front of the camera, Huang Bo tied an apple with a thread and placed it between the grandpa and the aunt for the two to bite. Every time they bit, he would lift the apple up.

Grandpa and aunt are not professional actors, they are probably similar to part-time extras. Occasionally, they shoot some old people's scenes, and their acting skills are really not that good. In addition, Shen Yan told them before that they should laugh when they should, so the two of them Unable to hold back, they all laughed, even Huang Bo laughed.

Chapter 296 Green Food

The three actors laughed, but Shen Yan didn't stop, and sat on the chair, folded his arms and concentrated on watching the monitor.

"Number two, slow down."

After the three of Huang Bo performed for a while, Shen Yan picked up the walkie-talkie next to him and said in a low voice.

Aim at the No. [-] camera under the stage, and immediately push it forward slowly from the back to the front, and the actors under the stage quickly entered the camera.

These actors strictly followed Shen Yan's instructions, each of them seemed to be fixed, with expressionless faces and motionless.

The scene on stage and the scene off stage seemed a bit strange, but when the two scenes were connected together, the laughter came out instantly.

What is comedy?It's not blunt funny plots, not those deliberately set witticisms, real comedy always comes from the subtleties, from the story itself.

Bean's performances have always been serious, but it is precisely because of his seriousness that people find it funny.

Chaplin's movies never deliberately set up funny plots, but use the story itself to create contrasts and cause comedy and laughter.

Nowadays, many comedies like to choose opportunistic tricks, which is equivalent to squeezing the audience's armpit and forcing you to laugh, but in fact, the audience is not stupid, that is, the director thinks it is funny, and the audience will only feel embarrassed.

The laughter in this scene right now is very natural. On the stage, Huang Bo and an old couple laughed frequently. It was very lively. The guests below all looked like they were dead relatives. In contrast, the sense of joy was immediate it came out.

The filming proceeded in an orderly and fast manner, because of Shen Yan's strong control, coupled with Huang Bo's acting skills are indeed very good.

So the shooting here is going very fast.

Basically, each shot is shot once or twice, and most of the time is wasted on setting up the scene and adjusting the actors.

Originally, according to the arrangement on the filming schedule, these three scenes would take one and a half days to shoot, and the time for the crew to rent the hotel banquet hall would not end until tomorrow afternoon.

But the actual shooting progress far exceeded expectations. The shooting started at [-] o'clock in the morning, and the one-hour meal time was removed at noon. At [-] o'clock in the afternoon, the shooting of three important scenes ended. It was more than three. Hours, the high efficiency is a bit scary.

This is equivalent to saving a day out of thin air.

After the filming of the scene here, the crew began to move to the next shooting location. The next scene was Huang Bo's scene, filming him eating with his high school classmates, and then the classmates told him euphemistically about the plot of his girlfriend cheating on him.

The original version of "Old Boy" didn't have this plot, Shen Yan added it later, arranged for Huang Bo to have a girlfriend, and then the girlfriend cheated on others because of his poor life.

There are a lot of jokes in this scene, and at the same time, it also shows some of Huang Dabao's sad life from the side.

It may be difficult to say it, but being green is really not too uncommon in society.

The shooting location was in a small restaurant, and the scene had already been set up, which was arranged by Shen Yan in advance.

Originally, the crew didn't quite understand it before, because according to the filming plan, this part of the plot would not be filmed until at least tomorrow night, or even the day after tomorrow. It would be a waste to set up the scene today.

But obviously no one thinks that way now, and they can only lament in their hearts that Director Shen is indeed superior. He knew that the shooting progress would be advanced early in the morning, so he made preparations in advance.

It's also good to have prepared in advance, otherwise, the time of this afternoon may be wasted, because it will take some time to set up the scene.

Huang Dabao and his high school classmate Dapang sat face to face.

The role of Big Fatty is an important supporting role in the movie, and he has a good relationship with Huang Dabao. Later, when Huang Dabao is going to participate in the "Happy Boys" audition, Big Fatty will continue to dissuade him.

"Start!" Shen Yan shouted while sitting behind the monitor.

The waiter came into the mirror from the side and brought a plate of coriander on the table.

Huang Dabao took a sip of his wine, and said while eating: "Why do you order so many coriander? Don't you not like coriander?

Fatty held coriander with his chopsticks and said, "I didn't like it before, but now I really like it. You should eat some too. Look at this coriander. It's so green. Hey, look at this shape. Do you want a hat?"

Huang Dabao looked directly at Fatty, and said, "You are crazy, you are so weird, what, your boss scolded you again?" Fatty had a calm expression, leaning on the table with his arms, and said, "Actually, I have something on my mind. .”

"Oh, you still have something on your mind, what's on your mind?

"I have a good buddy. I saw his girlfriend going to open a room with someone else. Now I'm wondering whether I should tell my buddy."

Huang Dabao smiled and said: "Which of your buddies is so stupid, then you can just say it directly, and you hate it even more if you hide this matter." But it's hard to say this, will he be particularly embarrassing? "Huang Dabao said: "It's better to lose face than to be cheated. Besides, you can be a little more tactful and hint at him. Fatty looked at Huang Dabao without speaking, and Huang Dabao's action of picking up vegetables also stopped. The two looked at each other." After a long time, Fatty pushed the plate of green coriander to Huang Dabao, saying: "Eat, green food is good for your body.

Huang Dabao looked at the plate of coriander, gritted his teeth, blushed, got up and smashed the coriander to the ground.

"Pass!

The scene is over here. In the official movie, the next scene is the plot of Huang Dabao going to catch the rape.

But this obviously can’t be filmed today, the scene there is not suitable, and after filming the restaurant scene, the time is already past [-] o’clock in the evening. In fact, there is not much content in this scene, and the filming went smoothly. , not only is it enough for the actors to perform well, but there are also many other tasks. Among other things, it took more than an hour just to get here from the Donghao Hotel.

After the scene in the restaurant is over, Huang Bo can rest, and some members of the crew can call it a day.

Shen Yan couldn't do it yet, he wanted to take another group of people to the barber shop to film Guo Degang's scenes.

This is also what he arranged early in the morning. The production crew is divided into two shifts during the day and night, and they work in shifts. In the case of sufficient personnel, this arrangement is actually completely possible, because many night scenes are filmed at night.

The only challenge or problem may be the director himself, because other departments and actors can take turns, but the director has only one person, and it is also the most important position, so the director will definitely not be able to rest.
