Disaster Artist

In the time and space that Lu Qian is familiar with, "Fast Pursuit" is a work with obvious advantages and disadvantages.

First of all, the two directors of the film are both stuntmen and martial arts instructors.

That is to say, the two directors have a very clear conception of the scene scheduling and martial arts design of the fight scenes, but their ability to control the literary drama is close to zero, so the two people take advantage of their strengths and avoid weaknesses, and fully maximize the charm of the fight scenes. , which became the reason for the success of the film.

Secondly, the two directors are not professional directors after all, and the limitations of their talents still limit the further magnification of the charm of the film.

The lack of editing skills is fatal. In the first part of the series, the shortcomings of Keanu Reeves' lack of fitness have been initially exposed, and then in the second and third parts, it was further amplified, so that the impact to the cinematic look.

On the whole, the disadvantage of "Fast Pursuit" lies in two points. The coolness of the action scenes is hindered by the editing, and then the literary drama can hardly help.

Regarding the former, the solution that Lu Qian came up with was Hong Jiaban, especially Guan Zhou's agile athletes, which had been proved by the "raid".

And this time in "Fast Pursuit", Hong Jiaban redesigned Guan Zhou's entire martial arts style, combining firearms and tough punches to present a fighting style different from "raid".

From the test screening, the effect is very good.

Guan Zhou presents a brand new image in Hou Xiaochuan's lens, the male protagonist with a touch of sadness and wandering temperament in the taciturn, coupled with Hong Yuan and the newly designed martial arts movements, it can be seen that the male protagonist is injured and has no luck. After a long period of sparse battles, his skills were a bit jerky, but he still showed his decisive means of killing, which instantly distinguished Guan Zhou's image from "raid".

In fact, for action actors, the biggest trouble is the image freeze-

From Sylvester-Stallone to Arnold-Schwarzenegger, from Jackie Chan to Jet Li, from Vin-Diesel to Dwayne -Johnson), all facing the same problem.

After making a name for himself with an action movie, the image is immediately fixed, and it is very difficult to break the shackles throughout the actor's career.

It is precisely because of this that many action actors will later try comedy to break the shackles of their own images.

Of course, Guan Zhou will inevitably face the same troubles, but fortunately, Guan Zhou is like a blank piece of paper, allowing Lu Qian to scribble on it.

"Raid" shows the growth of a young SWAT police officer, while "Quick Pursuit" shows the forced helplessness of a retired Jianghu killer. The different colors of the two characters magnify the temperament of different sides of Guan Zhou, and then Through the design of Hong Yuan and martial arts movements, Guan Zhou is finally given a different image.

Moreover, Hou Xiaochuan's photography style, scheduling ability, and editing level are all recognized potential masters. He successfully integrated the cruel and innocent temperament of Guan Zhou into the lens, which is undoubtedly crucial to shaping the charm of the male lead. important.

In this regard, Lu Qian has no comments to add. Hou Xiaochuan is indeed not old, and the film presents a clean and sharp look different from the "raid". There is almost no blood in the picture, but he can still feel the chill of the spine. .

Lu Qian's favorite part is that Hou Xiaochuan arranged Lange as the filming city for "Fast Pursuit".

This is a big city close to the north. The size of the city is almost the same as Lanchuan, and it may even be slightly larger, but the weather environment is completely different.

Lange is a windy city, located beside the lake, high-rise buildings block the sun, and the strong wind passing through it is exacerbated by the steel forest. On the whole, it is a gray-blue city with tough and rough lines. The wilderness of Bundang is completely different.

In Hou Xiaochuan's lens, the picture shows a large area of ​​gray and blue, giving "Quick Pursuit" an icy texture that slowly penetrates into the skin. It can be seen from here that Hou Xiaochuan has determined three films early on. The overall style of the song injects a horror, a tiredness and a vicissitude into the film.

Even commercial films have a strong personal style—

Of course, this was precisely the reason why Lu Qian was looking for Hou Xiaochuan.

One thing to say, Hou Xiaochuan is not a director who is good at coaching actors. His understanding of performance is still too shallow, and he needs to rely more on the actor's own understanding and display; but in Hou Xiaochuan's lens, Guan Zhou's own temperament is successfully highlighted. Come out and show a different face, and that's half the battle.

Guan Zhou completed his task.

Lu Qian could feel Guan Zhou's uneasiness. He took advantage of the gap to show a smile at Guan Zhou, and nodded his head lightly to express his appreciation and affirmation. Although Guan Zhou still can't be called acting, at least he can still be in front of the camera. It is very rare to show the color difference between two different characters.

With Lu Qian's affirmation, Guan Zhou also showed a smile on his face.

Regarding the latter, Lu Qian pinned his hopes on Hou Xiaochuan.

As a director who was born as a journalist, Hou Xiaochuan always has his own opinions and touches on the capture of details and the shaping of character relationships, and he can always reflect the grandeur of the whole society from the smallest details, which is also Lu Qian's hope Hou Xiaochuan endowed the film with humanistic care.

But unfortunately, judging from the final product test screening, Hou Xiaochuan is a little... constrained.

What does that mean?

Obviously, Hou Xiaochuan consciously accelerated the pace of the film, so that a large number of literary dramas were deleted, more or less imitating the meaning of "raid".

It can be seen that Hou Xiaochuan is still worried about the box office of "Fast Pursuit", and after the failure of many consecutive works, he has fallen from the peak of creation. Hou Xiaochuan also seems to lack confidence, so he consciously caters to the needs of commercial action movies and imitates Lu Qian. style to create this work.

The problem is that ~www.novelmt.com~ Lu Qian didn't plan to open the layout when he was preparing for the "raid"; but "Fast Pursuit" was laid out according to the trilogy from the preparatory stage. Naturally, the filling of details also It has become crucial, which is exactly what Lu Qian hopes Hou Xiaochuan can bring to the film.

So, how should this problem be solved?

Lu Qian watched the movie quietly, but his brain was always running at high speed. He was not relaxing and enjoying the movie at all, but more like he was preparing for an exam.

Then, Lu Qian caught a detail and turned his head slightly to look at Hou Xiaochuan behind him, "Director Hou, why doesn't the connection between the two scenes look so smooth, did you cut out a group of shots?"

In fact, it is an insignificant detail, but Lu Qian needs such an entry point.

Hou Xiaochuan's first reaction was that his heart contracted slightly, and he had to marvel at Lu Qian's sharpness. He deserves to be a professional. Such a hidden camera clip can also see the rupture of the veins, which shows how accurate Lu Qian's interpretation of the image is.
