Chapter 772: Each Character Is More Crazy than the Other
What is the point of a movie without any special effects or large sets to set off the plot? It is the actors' almost crazy acting skills, relying on the characters presented by their acting skills to conquer all the audiences and let the audience understand the whole story through their performances.
Dilireba saw Jin Yanling's performance. When she looked at Chen Hao, the difference was not so obvious, but when she looked at Jin Yanling, the difference was immediately felt. When she looked at Chen Hao who was acting opposite her, she realized how big the difference was. They acted really well, especially the scene where A Dong exploded. The scene was dominated by Jin Yanling all the time, and it was reversed instantly.
In the past, Dilireba thought that the roaring version of the performance depended on the feeling of exertion. This time, she completely changed her view. It turned out that the roaring performance was also divided into high and low. Chen Hao's explosive performance was full of power, but it did not lose the tenderness of the core. When a person who was not valued since childhood tried desperately to prove his existence but was not understood, the pain made him subconsciously slap his mother when the emotion came.
Anyone who saw this slap would not think that Adong was too much in hitting his mother. They would think that this slap should be given, and that the mother was too much. She should feel happy that her son could take care of her like this.
In the 5,000-year-old Chinese culture of filial piety, Adong's behavior is that of a super filial son.
But in reality, when he needs to devote his life to take care of his mother but cannot take good care of her, a good nursing home may be the most ideal choice, good for him, good for his life, and good for his mother.
The core of the whole film is that this seemingly mentally ill person is adhering to traditional things, while those normal people are subverting the inheritance that should be traditional.
Normal people will eventually drive Adong and his son away, and they selfishly think that this is the best choice.
Mental illness, worried that the child would be in danger, reached out to hold him back from the edge of the rooftop, but was questioned.
Collision, subversion, and heartbreak.
After more than ten days of filming, Chen Hao and Zeng Zhiwei were like experiencing an actor's purgatory. Both of them looked very bad. The whole story is complete, after the interpretation of the two people, it can be said that there is no flaw in modification or reshooting.
The promotional posters were also ordered. That is, in this small room, Eric Tsang can lie down normally, while Chen Hao needs to curl up when lying on the upper bunk. Such a contrast was not in the original version. Such a picture makes the whole space more oppressive.
Father's life, the moment the door was opened, in fact, Adong's heart did not have much hatred. His escape was not to make his life better, but just a kind of self-punishment under cowardice. Living in such a space, even if he escaped from his mother, what kind of happiness did he have?
Eric Tsang found a psychologist to adjust. He was more worried about Chen Hao. Compared with him, his discomfort was still light. He had to play Adong in that state, and he had to bear more things in his heart, especially when shooting the scene of eating chocolate in the supermarket. In view of his fame, group actors were arranged in the supermarket at that time, and the supermarket was full of media and people watching.
The group actors in the supermarket were shocked when they saw Chen Hao's appearance. They forgot to point fingers at him according to the script requirements for several consecutive shots. At that time, Chen Hao's state made many of them subconsciously react to send Haozi to the hospital quickly. What kind of drama is it to shoot in this state?
Chen Hao's performance shocked the Hong Kong and even the entire Chinese entertainment industry in this scene. It was unintentional at the time. It was Zeng Zhiwei who thought of letting Chen Hao, who was in a performing state, be helped out of the supermarket. It was not certain whether it would be used in the filming, but it was necessary for people outside to see it. We worked very hard in the filming. I hope everyone can understand and give us more space. Don't try to come in and observe our filming near the building where we were filming all day.
Unexpectedly, this scene was filmed by the media, and Chen Hao's appearance was magnified in the headlines of major media. Although it was just a photo, seeing his eyes, all Haomen fans couldn't help but feel nervous, and felt that the softest part of their hearts was touched. They felt so sorry for him. What kind of drama was he filming? Why did there appear such a scene?
Such a piece of news became the biggest publicity for "Mad World", letting everyone in China know that Chen Hao was filming such a movie. As a result, people from all walks of life started looking for news about the movie. Whoever can dig up some exclusive news will definitely get more attention from the audience. You know, there are no less than 100 million people in the country waiting for news about this movie.
They went to catch the news, but they didn't know that Chen Hao arranged the scenes in the supermarket and the scenes of looking for his father in the hospital at the end. After the filming, the whole film was finished. The filming took 21 days. At the end, all the cast and crew of the whole play received a red envelope. It was Chen Hao's thanks to everyone on behalf of the crew for going through 20 days of torture with a crazy director.
Everyone signed a confidentiality agreement and could not disclose the specific content of the filming, but this did not prevent them from getting some benefits from the media for Chen Hao's filming methods.
Crazy crew, crazy director, crazy actors, used to shoot non-stop for several days. Chen Hao didn't sleep, and Zeng Zhiwei didn't sleep either. The father and son's rival scenes on location were almost all at night. They were addicted to shooting. They thought they were in a particularly good state today, so they shot desperately. They wanted to shoot dozens or hundreds of takes a day. Once they got addicted to this kind of thing, it was equivalent to the performance of the two reaching a crazy state. They were fully devoted to the role. They didn't need to run-in for each shot, and there would be no mistakes that would cause N shots. One of them was a father and the other was a son. It was that simple.
The feelings in the filming were transferred to reality, and the relationship between the two was getting stronger. At the end of the shooting, the two had a big drink in the hotel, which was both a farewell and a consolation for this shooting.
"Boy, the film will be released in the second half of the year. I'm waiting to see you at this year's Golden Horse Awards and next year's Golden Image Awards." Zeng Zhiwei was very confident that Chen Hao's performance would definitely not be far away from these two awards.
"Brother, how about we compete together in the evening, isn't it?" Chen Hao made a joke that was not a joke.
Jiang Wuyang is an identification symbol for "The Warlords". If this film is on the list, Zeng Zhiwei's supporting actor will definitely be a hot favorite for the best supporting actor in major awards. Letting these two roles collide will be a big loss for Chinese films. It is said that the film industry is weak in the year, and there will be some films or winners in the awards every year that everyone thinks are not qualified. Now there are two such good roles. Isn't it a pity to put them together?
Zeng Zhiwei shook his head: "I am so old now. It doesn't matter whether I win the award or not. Seeing Chinese films do well is the most comfortable thing in my heart. The value of the existence of film awards is to let a hundred flowers bloom and compete for splendor. If the answer is guessed in advance every year, is it still interesting?"
Chen Hao gave a thumbs up to this senior.
Zeng Zhiwei added: "Your role is much more fierce than Andy Lau's role in "A Simple Life", and it is not inferior to Deanie Yip's role as A Simple Life. Such a role is really a role at the pinnacle of performance. But such roles appear in such a heart-wrenching plot. I can't imagine what kind of role is more challenging?"
Chen Hao smiled and said: "Due to the confidentiality agreement, I can't show you the script of my next role. To this day, I haven't really grasped the essence of the role in the movie I'm about to take in Hollywood."
"Oh?" This time, Zeng Zhiwei's curiosity was aroused. Chen Hao could perfectly control the role of Adong. What other roles could be so high? He was still lacking confidence before he played it.
"Aren't superhero movies typical commercial blockbuster popcorn movies? You play the villain, how much room can you show yourself? Wouldn't that overshadow the superhero Batman? Haozi, don't think too much about the role. The system there won't give you that much flexibility. Even if the role has depth, you have the confidence to challenge it. The movie itself doesn't need such a role."
Zeng Zhiwei has never been to Hollywood, but he also knows the position of superhero movies in the Hollywood system. Every superhero movie is a big production, with countless special effects, handsome men and beautiful women, and the mission of saving the world and the earth. It is a model of a truly positive film. All people who walk into the cinema don't need to think too much, just relax and enjoy the audio-visual feast. The special effects of the blockbuster are guaranteed to make you enjoy it. You don't need to think about the plot for the rest of the time. Just watch our superhero take you to save the world with the beauty.
Chen Hao said that there would be a role that is extremely difficult in this type of movie, but Zeng Zhiwei didn't believe it. Even if there is, you don't have room to show yourself.
Chen Hao murmured, "This time, it's different."
This time, it's really different. During the two days in LA, he met producer Charles Roven and director Christopher Nolan. From these two people, he saw their ambitions and desires. Since the style of superheroes cannot be changed, it may be an attempt to reversely elevate superheroes from supporting roles, so there is the role of the Joker.
How difficult is this role?
Acting is one aspect, makeup performance, some small movements, the difficulty is not as great as imagined, but if you really want to present the essence of this role, you must first let yourself enter the Joker's worldview, values, and life, and the destruction of violence with violence. Your rule of law society is a social form, and the social form that I expect freedom to obtain survival qualifications by strength is also a way of survival. Yours is wrong, and mine is right. No one is qualified to judge right and wrong on both ends of justice and evil. You Batman think justice is invincible, then I, the Joker, will think that everyone has an evil side, but it is just hidden on weekdays. My existence is to uncover the cloth that covers your true heart.
