Chapter 947: Winning the Best Actor Award, the Boss Is Serious! (Asking for Monthly Votes)

Chapter 948: The boss is serious about winning the Best Actor Award! (Seeking monthly votes)

Hao Yun started working at six or seven o'clock in the severe cold, and other staff members had to get up earlier than him.

He inspected several filming sites.

All of them would be used in the next two days.

Basically, they were found according to his requirements, and the people arranged by Michael Bay were very reliable.

Hao Yun was extremely glad that he chose to cooperate with Explosive Bay.

The resources that such a Hollywood boss can dispatch can at least allow him to save five years of detours in Hollywood when he started from scratch.

Thanks to Hao Yun's style of doing things.

He can get to where he is today in China, which is closely related to his generous sharing of interests with other capitals.

If the bait is sufficient, there will be more cockroaches in the nest.

Life is not a fairy tale. If others don't get benefits, they will not only not help you, but even trip you up.

Cutting off someone's wealth is like killing their parents.

The same is true if you don't share your wealth with others.

The same is true in Hollywood. If Michael Bay hadn't been there, a group of people would have definitely put obstacles in his way.

There are still people who put obstacles in his way, but at least it doesn't affect his position.

Although there are many Hollywood photographers in the photography team of "Manchester by the Sea", Hao Yun still found Cao Dun to take the lead.

This guy has learned three movies from the Hollywood team, "Buried", "Source Code" and "Inception".

Especially for "Inception", Hao Yun didn't care whether Guo Fan and Wu Jing would be kicked out of the crew, but Cao Dun was arranged clearly by him.

Cao Dun worked with the main photographer Wally Pfister all day long, and they could communicate after work.

Wally Pfister is Nolan's exclusive photographer. He has been following Nolan since "Memento". Before working with Nolan, he shot "Erotic Night 1, 2, 3, 4", and "Erotic Game 1, 3"...

Now, Cao Dun can be regarded as returning after learning.

If he still hasn't improved, then there's really no need for him to be so servile to other people's crews.

"The main theme is restraint, do you understand?"

The specific photography depends on Cao Dun, but the photography style needs to be established by Hao Yun.

"Almost." Cao Dun nodded.

He has been working as a director of photography in recent years, and is considered Hao Yun's exclusive photographer, but in fact he is also a director.

Professional habit, after reading the script, he will also think about how to shoot from the director's standpoint.

"We all use the most common horizontal fixed long lens, and don't give close-ups. This lens is a common camera technique for news and documentaries. The purpose is to keep the audience neutral and always look at our story objectively..."

Hao Yun accurately conveyed his ideas.

In fact, this shooting style is very dangerous in the environment where commercial films nowadays often use complex lens scheduling, because it is boring, because there is no showmanship, and it can even make people drowsy.

"Then... it's not difficult." Cao Dun nodded, he probably knew the purpose of Hao Yun's doing this.

This kind of photography style is the most basic and simple.

If used well, it can provide a huge space for the actors to perform.

That is, reduce the photography skills and give way to the performance skills.

In that case, Hao Yun, the leading actor, will have more room to perform and it will definitely be easier for him to win awards.

The purpose of shooting this drama is to win the Best Actor award for the boss.

The boss is serious about winning the Best Actor award!

"Let's get ready and change to a wide angle..."

Hao Yun did not hold any premiere. The camera in the company that has been covered with red cloth and worshiped by the entire crew since "Heart Labyrinth" was not delivered.

And the weather is too cold.

It is said that this town is at the same latitude as Changchun, but Hao Yun has been to Changchun in November. When the temperature is low, it is about minus ten degrees, which is not as cold as the minus five degrees here.

Maybe this is the power of "the seaside".

"If this camera position is wide-angle, the door frame must be photographed in." Cao Dun saw the problem at a glance.

"This is exactly what I want, Cao. If there is a frame, you must frame the protagonist. You must have such a frame to frame him all the time. If there is a door, use the door frame. If there is no door, use the car door and pillar frame, the railing frame, the cabinet frame, two people frame, and use everything that can frame him to frame him, because he can't get out of his closed world at all..."

Hao Yun gestured and said, his speaking speed is actually very slow.

There are many Hollywood staff in the crew. They definitely can't understand if you speak Mandarin, so they have to speak English at work.

Cao Dun has been in several crews, and his English listening and speaking skills are pretty good now.

The other photographers and photography assistants all felt a sense of sudden enlightenment when listening to Hao Yun's words.

I naturally admired Hao Yun.

After chatting for a while, the shooting began. At this time, the actors were only Hao Yun and an old lady.

Hao Yun was in the distance of the camera, repairing the light bulb in the old lady's house.

He is a repairman in Boston.

But in fact, many indoor shots were shot in small towns, which can reduce costs a lot.

Unlike those big directors who like to focus on details, Hao Yun has been poor all the way, and he makes do with what he can.

He only gets entangled when it affects the presentation of the film itself.

For example, the actor's acting skills are not good enough in a certain section, the actor's appearance does not match the environment, or the light of the scene is not bright enough, etc.

In this shot, Hao Yun is like a background board.

In fact, usually the photographer will let the more important subject in the picture be in focus and be clearly seen by the audience. Hao Yun deliberately made himself a background board, and mainly photographed the old lady making a phone call at a closer focal length, mainly to highlight his marginal status in society.

Changing light bulbs, repairing faucets, unclogging toilets, throwing away garbage, shoveling snow on the road...

He is a handyman for repairs.

Martin boots, jeans, work jackets, with a messy and greasy hairstyle and beard, without any dull emotions...

After Hao Yun stood in the camera, he had become Li.

If the camera is restrained, then Hao Yun's performance is "restrained".

He looks like a facial paralysis, but he is not really standing there and doing nothing.

Restriction and facial paralysis are not the same thing.

In the script, he is unkind in the eyes of customers, very indifferent in the eyes of bosses, full of thorns in the eyes of passers-by, and extreme in the eyes of the police. From drawing a gun to pulling the trigger, there is no hesitation, just rushing to die.

All these performances were without a trace of hysteria.

This is what Hao Yun is performing now.

The first scene was filmed smoothly. The supporting role of the old lady played herself. After a few takes, the director said it was OK.

Then he went to the next door to act with an old man.

Compared with the last time when Hao Yun was a background board, the difficulty this time was higher.

Hao Yun NG himself.

He felt that his performance was not good enough and he was not indifferent enough in the communication with the client.

This kind of indifference is not blowing beard and glaring.

But it is indifferent to everything.

Extremely depressed, full of thorns...

Because of his momentary mistake, the male protagonist let his three biological children be burned to charcoal. His life instantly fell into despair and self-blame. From that moment on, his heart was broken forever. He tried suicide, tried to escape, and tried all ways to punish himself, but in the end he could no longer reconcile with his past.

"Manchester by the Sea" is not actually a story of redemption.

If the story tells a tragic character who gets spiritual redemption and salvation based on his tragic past, it will be clichéd.

People are talking about reconciling with the past, but "not everyone can reconcile with the past".

If you can't get out, you can't get out.

The second scene took a whole day to shoot, and the old man in the supporting role almost got depressed.

He couldn't even understand what the director was struggling with.

If he could understand, he wouldn't be just a small supporting role at such an old age.

Fortunately, when night was about to fall, Hao Yun finally vaguely grasped the desired state and successfully shot this shot.

Indoor scenes are the home of the lights, and you can get any kind of light you want.

It doesn't matter if you finish shooting later.

In addition, this feeling is very mysterious and precious. Hao Yun really hopes that he is schizophrenic, so that he can deepen this feeling into a certain personality, so that he can come out to shoot when needed.

In order not to destroy this feeling, Hao Yun didn't call An Xiaoxi when he got home from work at night.

He just sent a message and chatted briefly for a few sentences and it was over.

Otherwise, the more you talk, the sweeter it will be, and it will be difficult to get into the state again when you wake up tomorrow.

It is said that some great actors can switch between different states in one second, and they are very extreme states.

At least Hao Yun can't do it now.

After the filming of the movie starts, some actors who have participated in the script reading can go back to their homes.

When the filming day comes, they will be notified a few days in advance.

There are not too many staff members around Hao Yun, just enough.

After shooting a few days of sporadic scenes, Hao Yun has adapted to the climate of this seaside town.

When he finishes work, he will also stroll around the town in his filming clothes.

White snow, swaying branches in the snow, blue and white sky and cold sea, seagulls flying around the sea from time to time.

The winter town conveys unimaginable coldness and coldness.

Walking on the streets of Manchester, breathing the air here, and seeing the sea here, Hao Yun finally got into the role completely.

At this time, he dared to shoot more important shots.

The first scene he encountered was the scene where he pulled out a gun and committed suicide in the police station.
