Rebirth of Super Red Star

"Director, the outside shots are finished, can you see if there is anything you want to change?"

Director Zhang Yun, who had finished all the plots in the cafeteria, was about to wander around to eat after dinner, when the assistant director in charge of the outdoor shots ran over.

After being called to sit down in front of the monitor and look at the collected materials, Zhang Yun felt a little proud that his original idea was quite good.

If this movie is shot according to the script, the quality of the finished film may be good, but when watching it, it will always feel that something is missing.Later, he had an idea to understand the missing part of the characters in the play, and it just so happened that this part was not thought of by the screenwriters in the regiment. Soldiers are not only soldiers, they are human beings apart from this identity, and they cannot live without the details of daily life.

In the original script, several main characters will make mistakes and grow up, but they are all at those points.At first glance, the arrangement is very reasonable, but when you think about it again, you will feel that it is a bit deliberate. It seems that the reason why the protagonists make mistakes is because they will grow up, and they will lose a lot of human emotions, such as anger, jealousy, unwillingness, etc.

In order to make the characters in the play look more real, he came up with the idea of ​​adding some life details to enrich the main characters.He did not remove the scenes of official soldiers scolding their mothers and calling their fathers when shooting materials. Instead, they were all recorded without moving, and they were recorded in the material library and added when they planned to edit.

Red dramas are hard to attract, except for a few excellent ones, the remaining 90.00% have little reputation.The main reason is that the brain-dead enemies, endless bullets, invincible protagonist, Wei Guangzheng, will not make any mistakes, and the audience in front of the TV yawns.

So he took a different approach this time, and quickly reached a consensus with the leaders of the regiment after he had a plan, and prepared to shoot a red wave that had never appeared before.

The main characters in the play are not all positive, and they no longer never make mistakes, but the details of life are full of flesh and blood, and they really look like living people.If you think about it, it’s true, and you can’t blame the current audience for picking it.This kind of drama that is put on the stage every year can guess the ending after watching all the beginnings, and naturally it will not be well received. The current approach of their crew is indeed a different path.

"Huh? This is—"

I was thinking about how to shoot the following plot well, and director Zhang Yun's eyes were not idle when reviewing the samples.

The video on the surveillance screen in front of the seat suddenly flashes, after the scene of Cheng Le chatting with several platoon leaders, the next segment is the interaction between Quan Quan, the platoon leader played by Cheng Le, and the little wolf dog Acai.

Seeing this, Zhang Yun immediately regained his spirits, moved his buttocks and sat up straight.He was a little surprised by the rich content of the samples sent by the assistant director, especially the short section he saw now.

On the screen, Quanquan looked helplessly like a puppy.After bending over to pick it up, lift the puppy up to your eyes and meet the puppy's eyes.The little wolf dog's pink tongue licked like the tip of Quan Quan's nose, and the corners of Quan Quan's mouth turned up, revealing a smile that had never been seen in previous episodes.I don't even know if it's a coincidence or deliberate, the warm red light of the setting sun in the mountains fell on his face, and the picture captured by the camera made this man and dog so beautiful that it was unreal.

When the scene changed, a person and a dog were sitting on the steps. Quan Quan, who was stroking the fur on the puppy's head in the sunset, was so peaceful.It’s just this one-second shot. I don’t know how much Quan Quan’s character has been completed. Even if Quan Quan’s character is not annoying in the whole film without this part, not many people like him in the early stage. At most, he thinks he is business-like. I don't know how to adapt, and I am hard-hearted and difficult to get along with.

But now, with this scene, even if he despises the protagonist and ignores them immediately afterwards, people who see it will shake their heads and laugh.Maybe he still thinks the role of Quan Quan is very interesting, the typical cold face and warm heart are not difficult to get along with. The reason why he treats the protagonists like that is because the current behavior of the protagonists has not been recognized by him.

"Good, very good!"

After complimenting the assistant director with satisfaction, Zhang Yun vaguely had a new idea while sitting in front of the monitor.

At night, there was a scene of washing and fighting that he planned to shoot in a different way. Although this scene in the original script was a bit more interesting than ordinary red dramas, it obviously lacked some features that could keep the audience watching.

"This way... arrange it. For the scene at night, the shooting location was changed to the outside."

"Ah? Director, you mean the part in the show where the leading actors are arguing and fighting in the locker room?"

"Correct!"

Hearing the assistant director's surprised voice, Zhang Yun nodded, and gave the order without any explanation.

"Let the lighting and props work hard. The shooting location... will be placed in the sink where the soldiers in the camp wash up in the morning. In addition, I will inform the leading actors of this decision. Although the temperature in the mountains is cooler, it is not cold. This scene was changed to They won't suffer much if they shoot outside."

After Zhang Yun finished explaining according to the picture that emerged in his mind, the assistant director and the crew dispersed.

Because of this decision, the lighting and props teams are busy. Fortunately, there is no need for many decorations in the plot, otherwise the time before shooting is really uncertain.

The entire production crew started to move, and Cheng Le was surprised for a while and didn't bother.The scene at night has nothing to do with him. After exercising with a few platoon leaders, he can just sleep well. Although the intensity of such a long shooting is not strong, it can't be trivial. He hasn't rested for a while.

However, there is a saying that changes are not as good as plans, and often because of the director's inspiration, the actors and staff have to make corresponding changes.

For example, this time, the starring role was filmed several times at night, and the director Zhang Yun was not very satisfied. During the filming, several leading actors even put on their clothes and took off their clothes repeatedly. They went back and forth seven or eight times and used the washing time to help The official soldiers changed several times, but Zhang Yun was not satisfied with the final picture.

"Take a break and try again in 10 minutes!"

Leaning on the director's seat, Zhang Yun frowned and reviewed the pictures taken several times before.

This plot is not difficult, at most, when the protagonists are washing at night, they hear other soldiers saying that they can't keep up with the training, and they fight with them impulsively.

The plot is a transition, and the meaning of existence is to make the protagonists make mistakes, confine them, and finally change their minds.

For the sake of visibility, he even asked several leading actors to take off their undershirts and wear boxers in several shots.The idea is good, and there is no need to worry about any bad effects. Why is the final result unsatisfactory?

He observed for a long time, and finally his eyes lit up and he focused on the bodies of the leading actors.This attention was incredible, and I immediately noticed that the four protagonists had chest muscles and abdominal muscles all over their bodies, not like soldiers who had been training for a while in a military camp.

Let them put on the undershirt, he is not reconciled.As a director, how could he not understand the importance of serving the audience's shots!This is especially true for female viewers who occupy the power of TV at home all the year round!

"What can I do? Although I can put on a shadow to pretend, it's still too fake to compare with the real one."

Seeing the contrast between the protagonist and the official soldier on the screen, Zhang Yun was at a loss for what to do except make up and look.

He can't let the soldiers wear the leading role naked, that would be too awkward!It's a stark contrast between the novice and the veteran, giving people a reason to fully laugh at the protagonists!

Eh? !Contempt, ridicule, merciless, naked?

In this case, if we use that scene and play around with it a little bit, wouldn't all the differences be logical?

"Associate director! Go to the dormitory and call the platoon leader! He said that there is a set of scenes that need him to take part in the scene. I remember that he has a good physique, so let him help!"

The director had an idea, and Cheng Le, who was already going to bed, was pulled up.

Inexplicably, Cheng Le scratched his head when he came to the set and listened to the director's request. In the end, he had to take off his shirt and let him check his body under the director's expectant gaze.

The scene that gave him a toothache happened, director Zhang Yun's eyes were almost attached to the muscle lines of his upper body.He is quite satisfied with the body he has exercised since he came back, but being watched at a close distance by a man of the same sex still makes him feel chills all over his body and his hairs stand on his head.

"Not bad! Props, prepare props for the entire platoon leader!"

Patting Cheng Le on the shoulder, Zhang Yun asked him to prepare.

His role is to pass through the scenes and connect the differences between the official soldiers and the leading actors.Originally, Quanquan's role in the script was defined by looking down on the actions of the protagonists, and looking down on their lack of progress.Especially with the previous scenes of contempt for them, and the scene of the difference in body size, everything makes sense.

Coincidentally, Cheng Le, Quanquan's actor, has such a good figure, wouldn't it be unreasonable not to use it?A group of young men washing with their upper body naked is not too common in the military camp. The scene of serving the audience is logical and unobtrusive, and no one can find anything wrong with it.

"Are you ready? The actors are in place, ready to start filming."

Changing to a group of soldiers who helped film the scene again, Zhang Yun checked the details and gave the order to start filming.

"Scene [-] of "I Am a Soldier", Article [-]!"

The filming started, and the camera started to work. The leading actors and the soldiers who cooperated with the filming were naked and lying in front of the cement sink, scrubbing their bodies.

According to the requirements of the plot, after hearing what a few extra actors said, several leading actors fought angrily.

The skin color of the actors and the soldiers is very different from white to black to black, and the body is also very different. The comparison of the scene that was originally extremely inappropriate was followed by someone who shouted, "The platoon leader is here!" ', suddenly making this comparison reasonable.

With the sound of 'here comes the platoon leader! ', with a basin in his hand, a towel on his shoulders, water shining on his hair, and Quan Quan, whose upper body is naked, appeared in the camera.He frowned and looked at the audience and glanced in the direction of the leading actor. When he walked over, he didn't even ask why this happened.

When he came to the leading actors, he glanced at them, and the corner of his mouth silently pulled out a mocking arc. He was not interested in who was right and who was wrong, and just left a sentence of "confinement for a day", turned and left.

The reactions of the people behind him had nothing to do with him, no matter what he made a mistake, he made a mistake.

Confinement for one day is already a light punishment, and it is up to him to deal with such things as gathering a crowd to fight, and giving those people such a small punishment is because they are fighters belonging to their own platoon. For the sake!

"Cut! Very good! That's it, get ready and shoot again!"
