Hollywood Lover Chapter 310

"Yes, that's it!" Zhang Dongcheng, who had thought of a solution, said wickedly: "Orlando, you treat Brad Pitt as your lover, try to hypnotize yourself, and convince yourself that you like men! "

   This is a very common substitutive performance method. After fully engaging in the role, it can almost be faked to the point of real ones, making it impossible to see that it is acting. The vast majority of actors rely on this way of acting to achieve success.

   But this way of acting has a big disadvantage. If you can't clearly distinguish between the inside and the outside of the show, it will cause mental illness. If things go on like this, severe schizophrenia, depression and other mental diseases may even appear. Not a few committed suicide.

  Some people say that brother Leslie Cheung died young because he couldn't get out after filming "Alien Space".

  Under normal circumstances, after the performance is completed, it will take a long time to adjust your state.

  Only those old drama players who are proficient in adjusting their own psychology can sway freely, enter the state at any time, and adjust from it at any time.

   Zhang Dongcheng's words made Brad Pitt feel cold all over his body. He opened his mouth in a nasty voice, intending to say something, but finally lowered his head.

   Obviously, Brad Pitt understood the disadvantages of this way of acting, but when he saw Zhang Dongcheng's confident look, he put this worry back in his heart.

   "Director Smith, I'm sorry, I need to adjust my state!" Orlando scratched his hair in distress.

   "OK! Let's rest for a few minutes first!" Seeing this, Zhang Dongcheng knew that he should not push too hard, but Orlando still has the talent.

While everyone was resting, Brad Pitt came to Zhang Dongcheng's side and said with a wry smile: "Damn it, Smith, I really regret it now, why did I accept your invitation when I was so crazy. Gay ! It's just horrific!"

"Hehe..." Zhang Dongcheng laughed and persuaded: "Don't do this, Pete, you have to try to integrate into the character. You can also treat him as a woman like Orlando, or simply self-hypnotize yourself to become a woman for a while. homosexuality. I think that way you won't be distressed!"

   "****! The ghost wants to be a **** gay!" Brad Pitt's face was full of tangled expressions.

  Many times, actors need to face such a dilemma. It cannot be brought into the state of the character. In such a situation, the actor must overcome himself.

   After getting time for self-adjustment, Orlando came to a big tree. He seemed to regard this tree as Brad Pitt, or simply regarded this tree as a beautiful woman.

  With a bit of tenderness in his eyes, he stretched out his right hand and grabbed the tree.

   He is obviously holding this tree and trying to bring it into the state of the character.

  The shot shot right now can be said to be one of the classic shots in Brokeback Mountain. The embrace of two men in love, not only does not have a trace of disharmony, but it makes people feel similar to the feeling in the Titanic, where Ruth stands on the bow with her arms open, and Jack stands behind him.

   About five minutes later, Zhang Dongcheng greeted him and said, "Okay everyone, we are going to continue shooting! Everyone, get ready, Orlando, how are you? Are you ready?"

  Orlando came back to his senses and said, "OK! I think it's almost there!"

   "Then let's try first!" Zhang Dongcheng didn't have much hope for this shooting. After all, it is not a simple matter to overcome one's sexual orientation and make oneself like men!

  Orlando and Brad Pitt walked to the river, and Brad stood there with his hands in his pockets. Orlando slowly walked behind him, and slowly opened his arms to embrace Brad Pitt.

Zhang Dongcheng's eyes suddenly lit up, and it was different from what he just explained. Orlando seemed to understand that his eyes were a weakness, and it was a weakness that could not be made up for in a short time. He was very smart when he hugged Pete. , eyes slowly closed. It seems to be enjoying this rare warmth.

  Although there are no eyes, the warm and satisfied smile on his face can make people feel his expression towards Brad Pitt better than opening his eyes.

  Even Zhang Dongcheng sighed in his heart, Orlando, the prince of the elf, has finally enlightened! Make the most of your strengths and avoid your weaknesses! He did very well.

   After Brad Pitt felt himself being hugged, his subconscious body tensed up. Although he recovered quickly, it has to be admitted that the feeling of this scene has been destroyed.

"OK! Let's stop for a while!" Zhang Dongcheng waved his hand, signaling to the crew to suspend work temporarily, then walked in front of Brad Pitt and Orlando, and said, "Orlando, your performance was great just now. When my acting skills with eyes are very poor, I have to say that this is a good way to maximize strengths and avoid weaknesses. It's very good!”

  After complimenting Orlando, Zhang Dongcheng looked at Brad Pitt again, and he asked with a wry smile, "Peter, what's the matter with you?"

   "Sorry!" Brad Pitt laughed awkwardly, and said, "I couldn't get into the mood just now, I'm very sorry."

   "It's okay!" Zhang Dongcheng shook his head and said, "As long as it's not that you can't accept this kind of role!"

   This time Brad Pitt was indeed unable to enter the state. During the third shooting, the two finally perfectly followed Zhang Dongcheng's request, and Orlando gently embraced Brad Pitt into his arms.

   But the actor performed very well in this scene, but in Zhang Dongcheng's eyes, there are always many things that are not right.

   That discordant feeling. It completely destroyed the effect Zhang Dongcheng wanted. The actor's performance is okay, so what is wrong?

  Zhang Dongcheng frantically looked at the recorded footage.

  In this shot, whether it's Brad Pitt snuggling in Orlando's arms with all his body and mind, or Orlando hugging Brad Pitt affectionately. The performance of the two is almost perfect to express the effect that Zhang Dongcheng wants.

  But this shot makes people feel very disharmonious.

yes! It was very disharmonious, this kind of feeling that he couldn't find the reason, but he seemed dissatisfied, which made Zhang Dongcheng feel a little anxious.

   After staring at the camera for a long time, Zhang Dongcheng still couldn't find what was wrong.

   "Smith, are you in any trouble? Or is my or Orlando's performance just not good enough?" Brad Pitt came to Zhang Dongcheng with a wry smile.

   "No! No! No!" Zhang Dongcheng shook his head again and again, and said distressedly: "It's not your problem. It's..."

   Said Zhang Dongcheng was stuck here, he didn't know how to express his weird feeling.

"Peter, you'll know when you come over and take a look!" In desperation, Zhang Dongcheng shrugged, stepped aside, pointed to the picture of Orlando and Pete embracing each other, and said, "I want to express a kind of, you guys The two embrace each other in the deep forest. That kind of satisfaction and coziness. You guys performed very well, but... I always feel that this shot doesn't seem to be able to perfectly express the effect I want!”

  As a director, many deep meanings are expressed to the audience through each shot.

   Maybe the audience didn't see the deep meaning of the director, but when they saw this shot, they would be moved. This kind of emotion is what the director wanted.

   "Really?" Brad Pitt touched it. Stare at the monitor in front of you. In his opinion, the hug between himself and Orlando was perfect, at least when he saw this scene, he almost regarded himself as gay! Oh, this is disgusting!

"I think it's possible to adjust the angle of the shot, or make the two protagonists not appear directly in the middle of the shot, and add some other things. Like horses, debris in the camp, etc. I don't know about you That's the effect you want!" Brad Pitt suggested.

   Horses?

  Ang Lee's version of Brokeback Mountain couldn't help appearing in Zhang Dongcheng's mind. I have to admit that Ang Lee's version of Broken Arm Mountain has reached an impeccable level in the use of lenses and colors.

  In this close-up of the distant hug, there is indeed a horse next to it. Now it seems that the place where I felt disharmony just now is here.

   "That's right, it should be like this!" Zhang Dongcheng understood like lightning in his mind. He immediately began to greet the staff of the crew, saying: "Lead a horse over here right away. Everyone get ready, we will do it again!"

  In the subsequent shots, in addition to the close-up close-up shots, Zhang Dongcheng arranged the positions of the two people on the right side in the long-range shots, while on the left side is the horse grazing alone with its head down.

  The background of the large area is full of towering trees such as ponderosa pine and spruce. At first glance, it gives people a very harmonious feeling. The two protagonists are perfectly integrated into the scenery of the Rocky Mountains, and the lonely horse brings a more rough and open feeling to the scenery.

  Seeing such a scene, Zhang Dongcheng couldn't help snapping his fingers, saying: "Perfect!"

  Finally, after refilling a few shots of Orlando smiling. This set of shots finally reached a level that satisfied Zhang Dongcheng. At this time, it was almost dark. The crew can only take a break from work temporarily.

   Early the next morning.

  After getting up, everyone started to get busy again.

  The photography of Brokeback Mountain is a highlight in the whole movie. The inspiration comes from photographer Ansel Adams.

  When Ang Lee filmed "Broken Arm Mountain", he imitated Adams's shooting method and adjusted the lens a little higher, so that the visual focus was on the sky instead of the ground, forming a "blank space" similar to Chinese paintings, and achieved good results.
