Chapter 1,433: Buried Alive

Many times, you have to believe that there are some things in this world that you can't do no matter what.

For example, it takes seven days to shoot a movie in which you are completely the protagonist, occupying more than 99% of the entire drama.

Chen Hao advocates using real scenes to make articles, so that the special effects of big technology can create a realistic and illusory feeling, and does not fill the audience's eyeballs with pure imagination, so even though he is only in Hollywood, he has been working hard for several years. However, they rarely open large studios to shoot movies. Xiaodi was shocked when he saw that a huge studio suddenly became the final destination. He looked at the man aside with a questioning look in his eyes.

"Let's go in and take a look."

Chen Hao wasn't trying to be too pretentious. He thought it would be more appropriate to explain it together. The contents inside would make her more curious, so instead of explaining it now, it was better to explain it together.

When you walk into the studio, you first feel a rush of heat. The feeling as soon as you enter is in line with Chen Hao's style. He always does his best to make his environment more comfortable. This style is also continued here. Although the temperature is not low, there is no feeling of poor ventilation at all, and there is no mixed smell from the crowds.

Several scenes in the four corners of the studio gave Xiaodi a creepy feeling. They were all coffins. The difference was that the coffins were prepared for different shooting angles.

At this time, Chen Hao handed the script that someone on the side handed him to Xiao Di. No amount of explanations would be as thorough as letting her see the script at this time.

"Buried Alive!" Xiao Di basically understood most of the script when he saw it: "Will most of the scenes be shot here?"

Chen Hao smiled and shook his head, pulling a young man next to him over: "The creator of the script is also the director of this play, Ding Jun."

I am about thirty years old, and my eyes are unfocused and lack of energy. My hair is a little long and I don’t take care of it often. I probably haven’t washed it for a few days. My whole person feels very decadent and unkempt, and I have little concern for my personal image in life. Lack of real interest in grooming.

"Hello, Director Ding." Xiao Di can understand the behavioral state of any artistic creator, and has seen many of them over the years.

"Hello." Ding Jun is obviously the type who is not good at talking and socializing. He just said hello lightly and took the initiative to answer Xiaodi's question: "Not most scenes, but all the scenes are shot here."

Xiaodi tilted his head, slightly puzzled.

Chen Hao added: "In the whole play, I am actually the only actor, and 99% of the scenes are done by myself."

"Ah!" Xiao Di quickly opened the script in his hand, his interest was all in the script, and he wanted to find out all the stories in the entire script at the first time.

Ding Jun had no intention of staying and continuing to chat. He walked aside and asked people to continue shooting and adjusting the built 'coffin' from various angles. In order to adapt to Chen Hao's shooting, a person of similar size was specially arranged. Try it out, sometimes in order to better match the feeling, Ding Jun will get in, squeeze up and down, left and right, and turn around.

For a movie, the person who knows the most about the shooting environment is not necessarily the actor. After the two positions of screenwriter and director are combined, they are definitely the people who know best. How to shoot a shot well, and the environment in the picture, Every director wants to satisfy themselves.

In addition to the shooting area, the basic environment in the greenhouse was also very good. With such a tight schedule, anti-slip marble floors were made in advance to avoid the dusty and messy feeling in the entire greenhouse.

Several rest areas, including the dressing area, are all presentable, and the overall hygiene is very good. In such an environment, if you touch the coffee table next to the sofa, you will not feel dust. There is a lot of dust in the entire greenhouse without breathing. That smell.

Xiaodi was completely immersed in the script. From the moment she turned the first page, she was quite surprised by the idea. Putting aside how good the idea was, how many audiences would there be if such a movie was made? Of course, it must be an art film, which requires the actors to over-fulfill their tasks during the entire performance.

Knowing that this was not the place to read the entire story, she suppressed her emotions, closed the script, and raised her head, gave a summary of her first impression: "This script is tailor-made for you. Apart from you, I I really don’t think anyone can play this drama well.”

"Buried Alive" - ​​When a person wakes up from a coma, he finds himself trapped in a coffin and buried underground. He only has a mobile phone with a small battery and a lighter. In such an environment Next, there is only one question that anyone can consider, I want to live, I want to get out of this hellish place, I don’t want to be buried alive underground.

The entire play is completed inside a coffin. The four shooting locations on site are all scenes set up for coffin shooting from various angles. Chen Hao will complete all his shooting in these.

There are no exterior scenes, no switching of scenes, and no coordination of actors. As long as Chen Hao completes it well, then the play can be completed well.

A seemingly simple proposition is actually the most difficult. How to express such a person well?

Xiao Di remembered that he said that he should put himself in his shoes and shoot based on his own reaction...

A huge coffin-like object was pushed in and placed in front of the rest area. All the people in the shed came over, including Ding Jun, who showed a surprised expression on his face. No one expected Chen Hao to choose such a way to shoot. Experience immersive shooting methods. Isn’t it a method that only junior actors would choose? We know that you, Mr. Chen, had just arrived in the United States to shoot the role of the Joker and had immersed yourself in this role. At that time, you were far less powerful than you are now. Do you still need this now?

Chen Hao smiled at everyone: "Don't worry, it's just a game. I need to experience the feeling of this role. Director Ding, when shooting, it doesn't matter if I don't follow your script completely?"

If it were someone else, as long as they understood the ways of the world, even if they disagreed with a hundred things in their hearts, they would not show it, and they would just smile and it would pass.

"That depends on whether your lines are more suitable for the plot than mine."

Faced with such an answer, Chen Hao had expected it long ago, and signaled Xiaodi that you can have enough time to continue reading the script, and I will experience it first.

The whole ‘coffin-shaped’ object felt like a filming prop. After he entered, Ding Jun asked that there be no noise on the scene, and that everyone should keep quiet. All the odds and ends were suspended to create a real environment for Chen Hao inside.

There were two cameras inside, and a thermal imaging camera was prepared outside. As a director, Ding Jun also needed to understand Chen Hao’s condition.

In the dark environment, when the lid was closed, the entire space fell into complete silence and darkness. Chen Hao first chose to close his eyes. He had tried this feeling before, and it didn’t take long before he felt a buzzing sound pouring into his ears. Even with his eyes closed, he was filled with a feeling of insecurity.

Adjusting his breathing and slowly opening his eyes was his own reaction. He knew what kind of environment this was, and he was confident in his own strength, so there was no sudden fear.

He did not take out his phone or light up his lighter. After a minute, he chose to close his eyes again, adjust his state, and put himself into the state of the role. He did not use the so-called immersion method. He was able to enter the role freely. The so-called empathy was just that he did not want the script to restrict the development of this role and his own performance.

He suddenly opened his eyes, followed by heavy breathing. Suddenly, the fear of being bound came over him. He found that the barriers around him made it impossible for his body to sit up or do more movements. The fear that came over him made Chen Hao's face appear a little hideous. What happened to me, where am I, what will I face.

There was panic for dozens of seconds, and his body collided with the surrounding wooden boards several times. It was not that he did not know where he was, but that he suddenly vented in this environment. He first tried to smash and kick it open. After finding that he had no ability to solve it, he began to panic again, smashing and kicking it from time to time. At this time, he was half expecting a miracle and half with a strong vent of anger.

I found my cell phone and my lighter. At this time, a normal person's reaction would be to ask for help. I will use my cell phone to call for help first.

Chen Hao picked up the lighter first. He felt that at such a moment, asking for help was of course the most important thing, but in the few seconds before asking for help, regaining light was the real need.

He made himself forget all the arrangements in the script, and completely followed his own understanding and the idea of ​​putting himself in the environment. I think how this character should perform at this time, the first reaction is not to find something on the body, but to subconsciously try to break out of the surrounding constraints first. When you are powerless, you will think about whether there is anything that can be used by yourself.

Xiaodi did not read the script either. At this time, everyone stood together, looking at the big screen on the wall. The picture in the monitor was transferred to this side. Everyone could see Chen Hao's reaction. When there was no light but various sounds in the dark, it had attracted everyone and made them involuntarily imagine the picture in their minds. What is Mr. Chen doing?

The moment the fire lit up, it was really an incomparable surprise. There was also a refreshing feeling of holding your breath and suddenly spitting it out. It did not disappoint us. It was really a crazy feeling. We were all full of confidence in the shooting of this film.

Of course, all the staff members didn't know that Chen Hao had a plan to complete the filming in seven days. They only knew the script and knew that it was a movie with only one actor and one scene. It was an art film with a coat. No one had any confidence in whether it could be filmed well. If they didn't know that the male lead of the film was Mr. Chen and that he brought the film, Ding Jun, a director with no fame and experience and no knowledge of the ways of the world, would never have spent these days so peacefully. He might have made trouble very early.

In a crew, the director has no power and cannot convince the public. Your position in the crew is very embarrassing. Fortunately, Ding Jun never said that he wanted to manage anyone. Now each department is preparing for themselves. He, the director, is just getting props and experiencing the filming. There is no conflict when they meet and communicate with each other.

If the filming doesn't start for a day, many things will not be exposed.

Chen Hao came and gave an experience performance, which gave everyone full confidence. Subconsciously, Mr. Chen came, and it seemed that there would be no conflicts and contradictions. Just follow the orders.

From the beginning to the end, no one thought that the director should be listened to in this play, even some staff members from China thought so, and the local staff members in Hollywood ignored the director even more. The producer was responsible here, and with Mr. Chen, the first right to speak in this crew would always be on him.

Chen Hao made two phone calls inside, both to Xiao Di, and she followed the lines Chen Hao said to cooperate with him in the performance, and then Chen Hao kept changing several postures to perform, and it took a full half an hour before he signaled that the sealed cover could be opened to let him out.

When he came out, Ding Jun was in a state of decadence after being defeated. This was not the decadent state he carried, but he was actually stimulated.

"Mr. Chen, I think this play seems to have no shortage of a director, I..."

Chen Hao stopped Ding Jun and didn't let him finish all his words: "If you can go in, I believe you can give me good advice, which I can't experience."

Ding Jun's eyes lit up. When he was writing the script, he had tried to complete the script in a narrow space where it was difficult to turn over, but he had never tried such professional props.

Chen Hao didn't wait for him to agree happily, and said one more thing in advance: "Only if you make a phone call, you will be released."

"No problem."

He didn't care at all. It was never in Ding Jun's plan to eat on time. He never ate on time. He did it as he thought. He went straight into the "coffin" and signaled the staff to cover it and seal it. He wanted to feel it again. He also specifically told the outside that he would not open it unless he called, no matter how he behaved inside.

"Okay, let's give Director Ding some time. When the time is up, let's have someone send the food. We will eat while waiting for Director Ding. I hope that when he comes out, everyone in the crew will truly treat him as a director, including me, and we will obey his orders to shoot. I don't want any problems in any link. Remember my words, no matter which department or which person makes trouble with Director Ding in front of me, I will not ask right or wrong, you will get your salary and leave immediately."

There is no need to be harsh or cold. Calmly stating a fact is the bottom line that cannot be touched by everyone at the moment.
