MTL - Hollywood Lover-Chapter 45 The most avant-garde and the most conservative

Although Jack is a bit arrogant, it is also because of his confidence in controlling the camera. Zhang Dongcheng knows that his age is there. A 20-year-old fledgling director wants to make a movie that will soon be older than himself. Convinced, that is basically impossible.

Therefore, a smile slowly appeared on Zhang Dongcheng's face, and he refilled some coffee for Jack, and threw himself into the comfortable sofa, he said slowly: "Mr. Jack, you don't need to be like this. Seniors with real talents and knowledge are still very respected. I believe you will gradually realize this in the days when you get along with me in the future."

"Thank you." Jack finally breathed a sigh of relief. He originally thought that the young director would refute him arrogantly, and then drive him out. He didn't expect Zhang Dongcheng's temperament to be so friendly and peaceful. Let him feel warm.

  Of course, if he knew that Zhang Dongcheng in front of him with a kind smile was threatening Milton to stab a baseball bat into Ender's penis, he would be stunned and at a loss.

   "I can give you a chance." Zhang Dongcheng's slow words made Jack smile.

"However, now is the time to show your real skills. You said that you have read my script, so what I want to ask is, what method do you plan to use to shoot these shots?" Zhang Dongcheng leaned on the sofa and lit A cigarette, asked amidst the smog.

  Hey, this is where the real interview begins!

Jack cheered up, stared intently at Zhang Dongcheng's eyes, and said with a serious tone: "Looking at the whole movie's sub-shots and what you said, I'm sure the key to this movie is not just the dark and black elements. As long as you insist on it, you should also bring the coolness and dazzle of postmodernism style!"

   "Cool and dazzling?" Zhang Dongcheng asked back, but sat up straight unnaturally.

"Yes, I want to use a lot of slow-motion shots to reflect the subtle movements of the characters in the play, and emphasize the focus of the image between the movements. For example, in the beginning, Bacon jumped down from the top of the stairs in the underpass. Capture large-scale body movements and character movements to highlight the power of jumping, and with music, this scene will make the whole picture full of shock."

  Jack was clearly prepared, and he regained his confidence as a senior photographer after throwing down his face, and talked endlessly.

   "That's very good. Jack" Zhang Dongcheng's heart jumped suddenly. Jack's shooting ideas and ideas coincided with his own, very consistent.

"Looking at this scene again, I think that in terms of the use of light, the whole film is dominated by gray tones, and there are many scenes on cloudy and rainy days. Shadows appear in most of the indoor scenes, and there is a hint of light when imitating the typical scenes of film noir. Irony. When the film begins to introduce the characters, everyone seems to be immersed in a gloomy light, and suddenly a bright sun appears, and a large area of ​​lush plants emerges from what appears to be a sunny beach in California A few pale-faced gentlemen, at this time, the audience will find that this is an indoor marijuana plantation." Jack's memory seems to be quite good, and he cited another scene, but Zhang Dongcheng changed his previous state, Instead, he listened very carefully.

   Snapping his fingers non-stop, Zhang Dongcheng nodded subconsciously, expressing his agreement with Jack.

"I've been thinking about the state that the movie should present. I don't think you're Chinese, but rather a native-born British who has been wandering the streets of England." With Zhang Dongcheng's affirmation, Jack also became interested and continued Said: "I think the British film style will be presented and developed in this film, the most avant-garde and the most conservative, rebellious, mashup, young, explosive, decadent and rock, there is only one word to describe this maverick, that is Cool! It's what you've been emphasizing in your storyboards."

"Yes, I want this movie to be a carnival for british cinephile-level cynics, reflecting a kind of dizzy pleasure like smoking marijuana. I am very happy to meet you tonight, which allows me to readjust my work schedule tomorrow. Already." Zhang Dongcheng smiled, stood up, and stretched out his hand to Jack.

   "Uh..." Jack was still a little uncertain, but he just stood up and shook Zhang Dongcheng's hand heavily.

"Welcome to join, Mr. Jack! I hope you can make this movie a significant part of British history, and I believe you can do it!" Zhang Dongcheng also shook Jack's hand heavily, and said He finally jumped up excitedly.

"OYE, oh, God! Mr. Smith, your choice is absolutely right, I will use all my strength to add points to this movie!" The exhaustion on Jack's face was swept away, and he smiled because of Zhang Dongcheng's invitation full face.

   Just like that, the most important photographer finally got his name, and Zhang Dongcheng's movie is about to start!

   Go, go and make a sensation in England!

  Looking at Jack's back, watching him trot all the way excitedly, Zhang Dongcheng said to himself silently in his heart.

  －－－－－

  On June 12, 1995, all the preparatory work was in place. Zhang Dongcheng sat in front of the camera monitor with full confidence, and looked at the busy staff who were busy debugging the machine design with satisfaction.

  Here is the black market on the streets of Oxford in London when Jason Statham was a child, and it is the place where he perfectly reproduced his childhood life on the camera.

  Jason Statham, who has been a hawker since he was a child, knows the illegal trade of street hawkers like the back of his hand. When he grew up here, he learned how hawkers sell.

  Zhang Dongcheng stood up, looked at several young people who were watching the show, and couldn't help but smile on the corner of his mouth.

   That, he got Nick Moran, Jason Statham, Orlando Bloom and Fat Andy.

Nick Moran, in the original time and space, starred in "Two Smoking Barrels" in 1998. Eddie, a card game master, shocked England in one fell swoop. His performance in the play can be regarded as relatively perfect, which also made Zhang Dongcheng firm In order to continue looking for him to be the protagonist, if nothing else, at least it won't be a bad thing!

  As for Orlando and Fatty Andy, the waiter at the pizzeria, they have fully demonstrated their potential in their last micro-movie, and they both have the potential to become movie stars.

   Orlando needless to say, although the acting skills of the future elf prince are still a little weak, but Zhang Dongcheng believes that the film's rich connotations and endless British black humor will cover up this.

  At the age of only 18, Zhang Dongcheng believes that the hands of a professional makeup artist will not be much worse than the makeup skills of hot girls who have become monks halfway through, enough to make him look much older than his actual age.

  As for Fatty Andy, he is the most serious and hardworking actor Zhang Dongcheng has ever seen. Although he is not from a major and has no acting experience, Zhang Dongcheng is impressed by his persistence and perseverance.

   The waiter in the pizza shop also wants to be a star? Fatty Andy bravely walked over amid everyone's ridicule, pondered the plot carefully, and simulated the official start of filming. Just for the few scenes showing his face in the last micro-movie, he actually performed hundreds of scenes in front of the mirror. The second most!

   This even allowed Zhang Dongcheng to see him, to see his dreams shining, and to see the courage to persevere and forge ahead. This was also an encouragement to himself.

What's more, Orlando and Fatty Andy did their best to help themselves in the last "Tuner", not to mention helping themselves to act in a movie, they didn't even ask for a penny of compensation, and they were even in the process of filming Knowing that Zhang Dongcheng was short of money, he took the initiative to give him a few hundred pounds. Although the money was not much, Zhang Dongcheng was very moved by this act of giving carbon in a timely manner.

   They helped me achieve my dreams, and now it's time for me to let them achieve their dreams! Zhang Dongcheng thought so.

   "Director Smith, everything is ready and we can start filming." The words of the assistant director Dave Reed interrupted Zhang Dongcheng's thoughts.

"OK, let's get everyone ready, we'll officially start filming in a minute!" Zhang Dongcheng took a deep breath, calming himself down from his nervousness, and finally shouted out the one that haunted him so much that he couldn't escape it for the rest of his life. words.

   "ACTION!"

  Photographer Jack carried the photographer to record this historic moment.
