Chapter four hundred and ninety-six [excellence, extremely high evaluation]
Liang Kun's movie will no longer be completed as quickly as it is in the film "Happy Death Day".
At that time, he lacked experience and was full of energy. He just wanted to finish the film quickly and prove his strength. Now he wanted to learn from Christopher Nolan and strive for excellence in details.
He doesn't want to save money for Paramount Pictures, and even if he saves money, it won't be able to get to his hands. So he won't replicate the original film of the parallel world "Escape Room" and wants to make his own things and make a classic movie.
The director of the original movie, Adam Robert, has many shortcomings in shooting techniques. Before this movie, he only made one movie "Landing 4: The Deadly Locking", which was not highly praised, and the director's skills were not good at first glance.
When Adam was shooting, the camera switched frequently, and he would give anyone close-up to the face when he spoke.
Many plots in the movie flash by. After a person finishes his words and wants to reflect the reactions of other actors, he switches the picture to the person, closes up the face, says a word or makes an expression. This shooting technique runs through the entire film, and it is almost three seconds.
In terms of literary dramas, the system assists give a lot of unqualified tips to the original film. If Liang Kun shoots the original version, even if the box office of the movie is high, he will not receive high evaluation as a director. If Spielberg watched this level of performance, he would never agree to his filming "The Lost Love".
The reason why the movie is popular is because the plot of the story is attractive and the escape process is intense and exciting. If you only shoot a literary drama, at Adam's level, you probably won't be able to make an art film in theaters.
Liang Kun wants to show the actors' acting skills in this thriller movie. As long as producer McDonald has no objection, he will shoot it carefully. If it is over budget, someone will remind him to speed up.
How can a movie that can be filmed with 9 million in 2018 exceed the budget in this era? Liang Kun will have no awards when filming fast, and if filming slows down, he can use this movie to train his film and television directing skills and performance skills.
This makes him very attentive. If he pursues speed in every drama, it will seem a bit unreliable to others. Before it is released, investors will feel that he is not so attentive.
When he filmed "The Lost Lover", was it also filmed very quickly?
Liang Kun was strict with his demands. Not only did McDonald not only had no objection, but he was also optimistic about him. In the past, she was a fan of Liang Kun's book, but now she was surprised by Liang Kun's talent on the set.
After filming a longer scene, MacDonald praised: "You must also want to direct and act on "The Lost Love"? Is that role tailored for yourself?"
"Yes, I'm confident that I can act well. But if I want to be popular, the performance of the actress is more important, and the male lead is still easier to play." Liang Kun smiled and said, "I hope to play some roles that will be a good actor in the future that will be a good actor."
"I feel that your talent is stronger than Leonardo. As long as you work hard, you will definitely become a top Hollywood actor." McDonald gave Liang Kun a very high evaluation. Leonardo's current goal is to become an Oscar winner.
She believes that Liang Kun's performance is not as good as Leonardo. His weakness is that he is a Chinese. No Chinese actor has ever won an Oscar. Liang Kun is more likely to succeed as a director, and Ang Lee has won the Best Director Award.
Liang Kun chatted with McDonald and associate director Kevin for a while, gave the actors some time to prepare, and then started filming the next scene.
I pulled down the door handle of the secret room, announcing that the game had officially begun, and everyone began to look for clues.
While shooting details, the movie continues to show the character of each character.
Ben asked with the door handle, "Do I want to keep holding this thing?"
It can be seen that he is a bit silly person. If he had no teammates, it would be impossible to expect him to decrypt the level.
Others began to look for clues, except for Jack played by Liang Kun. He wanted to chat with Zoe more than looking for clues to the game.
Zoe saw a pen holder with a sign of an airplane and a sentence, "We know you have a way to go." Her breathing suddenly became a little rapid, and she remembered the air crash she had experienced.
Jack walked over and asked in a low voice, "Are you okay? Your face looked a little ugly."
"I'm fine, thank you." Zoe put down the pen holder.
"I'll ask a prudent question." Jack smiled and observed Zoe's expression. "You seem to have something to worry about. Is it because of the pressure of employment near graduation, or is it that you quarreled with your boyfriend?"
"No, I don't have a boyfriend." After being interrupted, Zoe no longer thought about her past and relaxed a lot.
Jack asked a question to test it. He got the answer he wanted. He was confident that he could help the beauty, whether in terms of employment or feelings.
"I know there is a Arabian barbecue nearby. I haven't eaten it before but I really want to give it a try. Will you like to have dinner with me after the game is over?" Jack asked.
He spoke about Iron Man in "The Avengers". There are three Marvel actors in this movie, and the future must be interesting.
"I'll think about it, why not wait until the game is over?" Zoe smiled. She was not mentally prepared and looked at Jack a few times, a little nervous.
"Then let's get the game over soon and go find clues together." Jack clapped his hands and said loudly: "Friends, since the door seems to be an oven dial, I suggest looking for something related to temperature, and the clues should be there."
Jack is very smart and hit the nail on the head.
The uncle quickly found a book about temperature and found a screwdriver from it.
After reading the title of the book, Zoe said, "The title of the book is 451 degrees Fahrenheit, probably a clue. Can I give it a try?"
Jack smiled and said, "Of course." The others naturally had no objection.
At this time, Zoe went to the door to adjust the dial. In the original movie, the black girl rushed over and adjusted her, not talking to others at all. Zoe's character is a top student and a top student in a prestigious university. Liang Kun believes that such a person should be polite in a normal state.
The story that followed was threatened and stimulated, she started to yell, which was also a contrast.
The focus is clear when shooting the movie, and the shots are mainly focused on Jack, Zoe and Ben, so the switching is not so frequent. This will give positive comments to Liang Kun, which will make Liang Kun feel comfortable.
He didn't just want to add a show to himself, but considered the market. Most young audiences must like to watch handsome men and beautiful women, not uncles or fat guys. Saldana is now a "real performance" and is not as attractive as when she turns green and turns blue.
Liang Kun adds an obvious love line to the movie, and Jack has a good impression of Zoe, which can explain why he risked his life to save Zoe in the upside-down secret room.
The original scene can only be understood as the black Jason discovers conscience. Because when he arrives in the secret room of the next gas ward, he stops talking to Zoe, and doesn't care about her life or death, and is just busy looking for an exit.
In Liang Kun's modified script, some of the protagonist's actions can better reflect human nature and be more logical.
Jack looks like the first male lead, and it is even more amazing when he plays the reversal in the later part. He gave up Zoe in the gas secret room because he can't take care of himself.
Liang Kun took these scenes looking for clues many times before he was satisfied. The shooting of the day was over.
The crew does not need to film at night. Liang Kun summoned the actors and said, "The first game will be filmed tomorrow. Everyone goes back and find the feeling of heat, imagine what it feels like after the temperature rises. It's very hot."
Chris Pratt fanned his head with both hands and stuck out his tongue to breathe heavily. "Can you act like this?"
"Yes, if you act like this, I will give you a big close-up." Liang Kun smiled. You can also add some funny elements to the thriller.
The actor has rich body language and the characters will be more vivid. The original black-girl heroine's performance is speechless. The temperature in the room is so high that the dummies in the reception room are smoking. She wears a long-sleeved cardigan and doesn't take off her. When she arrives at the cabin, she doesn't have any hot expressions.
If he stuffed such an actor into Liang Kun's crew, he might be so angry that he wanted to scold people, and he was so politically correct.
The next day, the movie continued to shoot and took a day to finish the first game. The shooting was fast because the light inside the house was red and dark, and the actors' expressions were not clear, so the requirements for acting skills became lower.
After Zoe turned on the oven switch, the room started to heat up, and after adjustment, the switch was stuck and could not be turned off. What's worse was that Ben took the plastic fire extinguisher, and after taking it down, the other mechanisms were also turned on, the room was completely closed and getting hotter and hotter.
At this time, the atmosphere in the house became very terrifying, and everyone wanted to escape as soon as possible.
Everything is a real set. For safety reasons, it is impossible to be really so cold or so hot, otherwise the actors will be miserable. They have to use their perceived memories to perform.
Teresa took off her clothes and showed off her figure in a small vest. Others also took off their coats so that they could endure the high temperature.
In times of crisis, Jack became the backbone of the team and gave orders directly. When he was in the company, he was a leader, good at coordinating plans and making reasonable arrangements.
After Zoe discovered the function of the coaster, Jack asked the uncle to take the screwdriver into the secret room to explore the way, and the screwdriver should be used. After finding the exit, Jack asked the scared fat man and two girls to leave first, he and the rear of the palace.
At this time, he thought it was just a game, so he did not leave first. When Zoe left, he also reminded Zoe to bring her clothes, otherwise he might catch a cold when he went out. In many aspects, Jack's carefree and capable ability could be seen. The fat man who likes to play games was shocked when he encountered this kind of scene and had no effect.
Jack and Ben need to use water cups to open the passage. When they found that there was not enough water, Jack immediately suggested that Ben urinate instead of water.
"Why don't you pee?" Ben said awkwardly.
"I went to the bathroom once before entering the house, but no," Jack replied.
Finally, Ben used the wine in his wine pot instead of water to open the passage, and the two of them successfully escaped.
The first person to enter the original version was the black elite, who played the role of the clown from beginning to end. Jack was changed to the MVP of the first game.
