Chapter 1435 200%
A mobile phone, a lighter, a knife, a pen, a flashlight that is not very good, two glowing fluorescent sticks, anti-anxiety drugs, and a flat wine pot.
In the play "Buried Alive", there are not only mobile phones and lighters. The clumsy and cruel kidnapping case still gives the hero enough information and "help". Everything has its meaning and value. When you think it is a prop of hope, you will feel that it is a prop of despair in the end.
When hope is ignited and shattered again and again, the tolerance of an ordinary person is completely destroyed. The mobile phone that was interpreted as despair at the beginning is the last bit of hope. When life has no guarantee, when the family calls at the last moment, despair and disillusionment of life seem to have no time to pass through the brain. At that moment, it may be a glimmer of hope under the extreme abyss. At least, I died here, and someone knew.
Chen Hao's favorite setting is the three light sources in the coffin, lighters, fluorescent sticks and flashlights.
The lighter interprets confusion and despair.
The fluorescent stick gives stable hope.
The flashlight is just like its instability, always serving as a turning point to make you wander between despair and hope.
Disillusionment after disillusionment, blow after blow, and hope rekindled again and again. When the snake was burned away, it was like the lighter of despair had the function of hope, while the stable fluorescent stick of hope could only be burned and melted in the flame and lose its function. As for the flashlight that was not very bright, it never really had its own function.
The appearance of the snake was not without reason. First of all, it explained the oxygen state in the environment to a certain extent. Some would come in intermittently, otherwise the hero would not have lived so long. At the same time, the meaning of the snake is also very large. Every audience sees different feelings on it. Chen Hao himself feels that at that moment, when the hero was afraid, when he saw the snake leave through the gap, the thought in his heart at that moment should be envy. People envy a snake-too many people live in the space of despair, but they don’t realize it themselves. This movie is a coffin buried underground. What about real life?
After arriving at the set with full energy, everyone was already in place. This was the first time that everyone took the initiative to arrive in advance. They prepared a small ceremony for Chen Hao. In a movie like this, the performance of the male lead can account for 99% of the entire film. He has to support all the imagination of everyone about this play. Just the courage to shoot such a film deserves everyone's thumbs up.
He is not an unknown little actor, nor an actor who urgently needs to prove himself. He has an unprecedented successful status and does not need to take such a risk at all. There is no accurate estimate of how much success such a script can bring him. It is still possible for others to have a chance, but it loses its value for him. Isn't it better to shoot the "Galaxy" series steadily? Isn't it better to expand the "Three-Body" series? That is more secure, and both fame and fortune will be gained. Everyone knows that these two series will bring him more honors in the future. Leo is holding back to compete with Chen Hao for the best actor in the "Galaxy" series. Why should Mr. Chen take risks in a small production to gain something?
If this film fails, if it fails to meet the audience's expectations, others may become famous with this film. For screenwriters and directors like Ding Jun, the audience's expectations of him are not that high. If he is above the standard, he is worthy of being treated as a rising star. What about Chen Hao? If he does not reach the extreme, he cannot meet the audience's expectations. It is not a Waterloo. It is not a successful work that does not match your status. The risk-return ratio cannot be balanced. It is not worth doing it.
People around him have such doubts. If it were not for the gimmick of shooting a movie in seven days, I believe someone would have advised him at the beginning of the project. Chen Hao himself does not think so, and he does not care about the so-called fame. I like this play, like this role, and like such challenges. Saying that it can be shot in seven days is because he is afraid that it is too shocking. If there is no need to change the environment continuously to shoot, he would rather be more vulgar. I want to shoot this film in one go.
All the scenes are in my mind, and all the performance methods are in my heart. I have prepared for the scene so many days in advance, and I have everything I should have. Is it difficult for me to perform difficult performances?
He changed into a T-shirt, a pair of jeans, and a pair of black canvas shoes. From top to bottom, his outfit fits the role of a truck driver. Anyone who can live well in his hometown would never work hard in such a place. In the conversation with the company in the play, when the male protagonist asked at the end, "Am I put here?" The other party's HR manager said sorry after turning off the recording, which fully demonstrated the state of such a small person. The three words "sorry" also run through the second half of the whole play.
The scene was very quiet. Chen Hao first let himself lie in the coffin for more than ten minutes, so that his body would have more wrinkles due to friction, and his hair, face and arms would have more sweat and dirt mixed with it.
Coffins of various angles, with or without tops, front and back panels, left and right panels, there are five such coffins alone, not to mention some special coffins, all for special shooting angles, and Chen Hao will continue to switch in such environments to cooperate with shooting in the future.
Fortunately, the light source in the environment is always facing his face and upper body, and there are not many times when the surroundings are illuminated. The five-person environment replication team is enough to complete the task.
Chen Hao made a little change inside a coffin, and the five of them needed to immediately arrange people to replicate the exact same changes in other scenes, such as the text and phone number written by the male protagonist, and the placement of the damaged items. He does not need to pay attention to these things deliberately, and the replication team must do all of this.
The movie has zero tolerance for goofs. Chen Hao has always been in this style. He does not allow goofs in his movies. Whether it is technical or human, such scenes are not allowed.
So in his film crew, there is always a group of people who do the work of scene restoration and material fault finding, and the process over and over again to ensure that there will be no goofs.
The same goes for tools. Several sets of tools were prepared on site, all of which were the same. After Chen Hao's coffin was ready, he came out and had his hands tied and his mouth stuffed. At this time, someone came to take a detailed photo of him, mainly the state of his head and neck. They had to ensure that his character changes were continuous during the entire shooting process, and there would not be a scratch on his forehead in the previous shot, and no scars in the next shot. There were two times in the play when he needed to move back and forth in the coffin to change direction. It was also during this process that his head and face had to change, so that the whole play was not just a simple facial makeup, and the single-person "stage play" had more changes.
Ding Jun once suggested whether it was possible to invite some actors with very recognizable voices to "guest star" for several characters who were talking on the phone, but the idea was rejected by Chen Hao. He wanted to simply compete with his acting skills and make himself the absolute visual center. He was unwilling to let others divert the audience's attention. In previous movies, people always criticized you, Chen Hao, for only piling up stars, but I won't do that this time.
Originally, the company's HR manager, the contact person for the rescue, and the kidnapper could be set up with more distinctive characters using voices. Chen Hao gave up all the options to add points and started from the most basic, from every scene. This time, director Ding Jun could be very comfortable shooting. He could follow the script and shoot all the way. He didn't have to worry about the protagonist being too big and unwilling to always switch the shooting environment. He had to focus on shooting the "coffin" scene in a "coffin". That way, the actors would be more comfortable and the post-editing would be more comfortable. But the whole state was not what Chen Hao wanted, and he didn't want any possibility of mistakes.
There was only one actor, so there were only two places for mistakes in such scenes. Either the scene was shot through and it was not a sealed coffin, or the mistake appeared on the actor.
To continue the emotion all the way, to be able to play better, a one-man show, Chen Hao's goal is very big, he wants to complete his 200% strength display, to let this performance stun the world, to increase the difficulty of obtaining the best actor again and again, even if there is a session that he does not participate in in the future, you give it to anyone, there will be a large number of people who say that the strength is not enough, sorry to all the male actors, it is your sorrow to live in the same era as me.
Ready, everyone is ready, Chen Hao enters the coffin, the beginning of the scene, in darkness, the whole film begins to be a dark plot measured in minutes, if it is not for people who have expectations for this movie, I guess they will think that the big screen in the cinema is broken, or there is a problem with the copy tape, why is it always black
The sound did not come out from the beginning. The movement of the body when waking up, including the whimpering state when the mouth was strangled and could not shout, and the state of trying to breathe, all had to be done in the dark. Ding Jun dared to use this part boldly. He knew that with Chen Hao's golden signboard, let alone two minutes of darkness, if it was extended for a while, the scene in the cinema would not be really noisy and angry.
A moment of light appeared, half of the face, the state in the eyes, the twitch on the face...
From the beginning of filming, all the scenes were done in one go, until Chen Hao really lit the lighter himself. At that moment, the people standing behind the monitor couldn't help but tremble. It was amazing. Everyone who watched it felt the psychological state of the male protagonist at this moment.
