Chapter 1994 finely crafted
Originally, according to the content of "Forrest Gump", it could be divided into two groups to shoot.
The first group specifically filmed Forrest Gump when he was a child, while the second group filmed the plot after Forrest Gump grew up.
Many such actors will not conflict in their shooting scenes, and can save a lot of time.
But this also has a big disadvantage, that is, it is not easy to make the quality the same when two groups of people take photos together.
The two executive directors, even if the chief director is watching, cannot form a unified style.
Therefore, many great directors choose to shoot themselves when facing such scenes.
At most, it will only change the time sequence of some filming, without changing the inherent mode of shooting.
Sometimes, it is not the best to change and innovate. In the film industry, many persistences are necessary.
For example, when director Christopher Nolan was filming "Dunkirk", he still used traditional film shooting techniques. Although the cost increased by no less than 10 million, the shooting effect was very good and very textured.
It can make people feel deeply about the era they are in, rather than made with special effects.
Of course, Nolan's "waste" in "Dunkirk" is not just about film, but also about his entire set of scenes and even various details on the sea surface.
This greatly increased the cost of "Dunkirk", at least overspending by $0 million more than the original plan.
But as a result, everyone has also seen it. It has become the number one war movie in history, with a box office of about 800 million US dollars!
After it, "Save Private Ryan" more than a decade ago, with a total box office of around 500 million US dollars.
So, making movies is not about how you save costs, but about how you make movies with great care and make the best movies. Of course, someone will watch them.
Directors also need to have their own persistence, otherwise they will blindly compromise for commercial films. Such a director will definitely be a famous director and cannot become the world's top film master.
Compared with them, the biggest advantage of a movie master like Yin Jun is that he has seen the complete version of these classic movies and has already had a version in his mind.
What he wants to do is to continue to create and carve these versions and make his own version.
In addition, Yin Jun has the advantage that he doesn’t have to care about the cost, nor does he have to care about the profit or losses. Anyway, he belongs to the company alone, so he just needs to shoot according to his own wishes.
Yin Jun had already had specific plans in his current childhood, Forrest Gump's youth and Forrest Gump's middle age.
Forrest Gump's childhood is undoubtedly the best shot because it is the simplest.
But it is not that easy to make it work.
Because the two young actors are the main characters, their acting skills cannot be compared with Meryl, Marlon Brando and others, and they have no experience or epiphany.
To put it in a more fashionable way, most of them depend on the director's continuous guidance, while a small part of them will go with the flow.
Besides, because they have only recently chosen them, they are not very familiar with the script. If they start filming them in a hurry, the effect will probably not be very good.
In Yin Jun's classification, Forrest Gump's youth should have been until the end of the Vietnam War. The pen and ink were not that heavy, and many of them were interspersed with memories and special effects, so there was nothing difficult in this part.
Even Tom Hanks doesn't need much acting skills, just show Forrest Gump's honesty and a little bit of mentality.
In the end, Forrest Gump grew up in his mind, understood life and responsibilities, and understood what life is. This is the most finishing touch of the whole movie.
Yin Jun has great confidence in Tom Hanks. He believes that if he took pictures of Forrest Gump's youth and then filmed the adulthood of Forrest Gump, he would transfer this part of his emotions and sublimate it, then he would be inseparable.
Looking at Tom Hanks' condition on the first day, Yin Jun finally decided to grow up with Forrest Gump, which was when Forrest Gump held the football and started shooting from the moment a boy suddenly crossed to the youth.
As for the two young actors, on the one hand, they let them get along to cultivate their relationship, and on the other hand, Yin Jun also asked them to watch how others acted everywhere in the crew, and at the same time they became more familiar with the script.
Just like reading, if you read a lot, you will naturally get a lot of things.
Only a few people can have the knowledge, but the rest rely on stupid methods to slowly explore and strengthen.
Just like acting skills, why do many people suddenly have a sharp increase in acting skills when they are in their thirties or forties?
Do you really think it's enlightening?
It is their efforts day after day to continuously improve themselves, thus finally achieving a qualitative improvement.
Let the two children be familiar with the script and perform several scenes from time to time. After so many times, they will naturally become much more skillful and may surprise people.
They won't mention it.
When Yin Jun was filming Tom Hanks' scene, he obviously felt Tom Hanks' progress.
Tom Hanks has won two actors, but "Rain Man" has been a complimentary role because of the role of the mentally retarded group. In addition, the Oscar judges want to compensate Yin Jun's movie, so he is lucky to be the Oscar winner.
The second part of "The Pianist" is different. This is Tom Hanks' real role interpretation and wonderful performance that he won the Oscar winner.
But this is not the pinnacle of Tom Hanks.
His peak is in the third "Forrest Gump" that continues to work hard.
It is no exaggeration to say that Tom Hanks had already started preparing for "Forrest Gump" four years ago when he signed the contract for 20-year 0 movies by Kirin Culture.
He didn't tell Yin Jun that he had read "Forrest Gump" less than 0 times, and his reading notes alone were as thick as three books "Forrest Gump".
With such deep accumulation, Tom Hanks naturally had confidence and did not have any effort to act.
No.
He is not acting, he is showing himself in front of the camera.
At this time, he had completely integrated the role of Forrest Gump, and was the most similar character Yin Jun saw. Even more natural than the version released in his previous life, the version was released 9 years later.
The role of Mr. Marlon Brando is just in the beginning. Now he has nothing to do and has not left the crew. He brags and fucks with a group of people every day, and goes to the surrounding farms to play around, which seems very leisurely.
He also likes to chat with Yin Jun, but mainly talks about doing business and how to increase his wealth and maintain his value.
In this regard, Yin Jun is his best consultant.
The old man was also scared by the financial crisis. If he wanted to have a chance to enjoy his old age, he naturally had to ask for advice humbly.
On the way to ask Yin Jun for advice, he would also make his own evaluation of some characters in the movie, and also teach Yin Jun how to adjust their status and how to force them to perform best from another aspect.
Yin Jun also benefited a lot from him.
Among them, when Marlon Brando talks about Tom Hanks, he praised the young man as having integrated with the characters and could not see any performance at all.
Although this will make him unable to get out of Forrest Gump for a long time, it is the biggest good thing for the film art itself.
"Perhaps, this is the best biography movie."
The old man gave such a high evaluation that Yin Jun was a little nervous.
Such a classic, shot in your own hands, can’t watch Tom Hanks perform well, but is dragged down by other factors and the actors. That is a sin.
So Yin Jun is getting slower and slower when filming a movie.
Sometimes, at the end of a day, I only take about 10 shots.
Fortunately, everyone's salary is not small, and Yin Jun's power is strong enough to suppress them.
But after all, Yin Jun is so familiar with "Forrest Gump", so overall, there are very few mistakes when it comes to mistakes, and most of them are Yin Jun who wants to make excellence.
Faced with such a masterpiece that was already within the scope of Oscars' consideration, and seeing Yin Jun's meticulous work so carefully, the actors' mood was not impatient.
Didn’t they come to this crew just to become famous in "Forrest Gump" and leave their own footprints in this masterpiece?
The better the filming of "Forrest Gump" is, the more honors everyone will receive. What's wrong with this?
In this atmosphere, Yin Jun himself is becoming more and more skilled.
But every night after he went back, his rest time did not increase.
Because he had many ideas in his mind, about how to shoot better, how to squeeze Tom Hanks' state more, and how to get other actors to keep up with Tom Hanks' rhythm... These series of ideas kept flashing in his mind, and then he took them out and practiced.
What excited Yin Jun was Zhang Yimou's control over the camera.
Although it was the first time he was in charge of such a masterpiece, except for the first few days when Zhang Yimou was not in shape, he spent the rest of his time running in and growing up with the crew.
He is even harder than Yin Jun.
After the filming is finished every day, Yin Jun, Tom Hanks, him, and some crew members will watch the shots.
As a result, he proposed it himself several times, and he could improve and change it, so that the characters, scenery and scenes in the camera would perform better.
Whenever he says this, he will definitely continue to build these pictures in his mind that night.
I will wait until the next day to reshoot, and it is true that it is much better.
With such superb shooting skills, Zhang Yimou has also gained everyone's recognition. Even Ma Long Brando praised him for his use of colors and long shots.
