Chapter 1,413 The core spirit of the movie

[The blue water is rolling and the clouds are quiet, and the east wind is blowing the smoke away slowly. Now when we are commenting on romantic affairs, where is Zhou Lang and Xiao Qiao? - Chibi Inscription]

At its core, any movie has a core culture and core spirit. Whether a movie can highlight this core spirit and express it directly and clearly to the audience is the biggest difference between classics and ordinary movies.

As for bad movies and movies that hit the street, it simply means that there is no core spirit, or that what the director wants to express is actually three to five kinds, or even more core spirits.

But in fact, a movie can only have one real core. Even if there is a second one, it will easily cause confusion to the audience when watching the movie.

There are two core spirits in history, and there is no movie that can become a classic.

All classic movies have only one core spirit, from Chaplin's early silent films "Modern Times" and "The Great Dictator" and so on, to "The Bridge" and "Gone with the Wind" to "The Godfather" and "The Godfather". Jaws] [Terminator] [Titanic] and other classics among classics all have only one core spirit.

Therefore, bad movies actually have too much core spirit and make the audience dizzy watching it. In other words, the movie simply has no core spirit. This is very fatal for a movie.

If the core spirit is not clearly expressed, it is considered a bad movie. If there is no such element as the core spirit and core culture, then it is strange that this movie does not hit the streets. Ye Ming's words actually made everyone present suddenly realize.

Yes, the core spirit. At this time, Rob Cohen also thought of this and immediately said: "The core spirit, the core culture, yes, people probably don't understand what the core spirit of our movie is. , our core spirit, remember, should be racing. Ye Ming is very right in reminding us. We just don’t have this core cultural spirit now. Without such a cultural spirit, our movies can be said to be half the success. .”

The Fast and the Furious is a road movie. According to director Rob Cohen, since it is a road movie, at this time, how could it be successful without the core spirit of this road movie?

Ye Ming really made the point at this moment. A movie with core spiritual culture may not necessarily become a classic, but a movie without core spiritual culture will definitely not become a classic. This is true for countless people in Hollywood. This has been fully proven in the movie.

At this moment, Rob Cohen immediately went on to say: "The core spiritual culture is very important. The core of our movie is actually the core of the road movie. The name Fast and Furious also fully embodies the core of our movie. The core spirit of the movie, drag racing, uses the exciting feeling of drag racing to bring everyone's emotions into it. This is the core culture of our movie.

There is a lot of support for drag racing in the United States.

Even if an American doesn't like drag racing, it doesn't mean he doesn't like watching drag racing. therefore. The core spirit of our movie is to be faster, higher and stronger. We use powerful drag racing technology to show the core spirit of our movie. "

What Rob Cohen said was actually very impassioned, because when he heard what Ye Ming said, it was at this time that he really thought about how his movie should be shot. Therefore, He is in a very good mood now.

At this moment, Jordana finally dared to stand up and say, "Director, although I prefer watching racing, I personally don't have much experience in drag racing. Without such experience, I want to If the characters in this movie are perfectly displayed, it will be almost impossible."

If this matter is said in terms of the Chinese entertainment industry, it means that Jordana has not experienced life. Since she has no relevant life experience, when it comes to acting, unless she is a natural acting school, under normal circumstances, actors It is impossible to express one's emotions well.

Jordana is a good student. Although she may not be a good student here, but when it comes to a question like this, at this time, Jordana is definitely considered a good girl among American college students. Of course she is a rebellious kind of good girl, but among young college students in the United States, Jordana is already considered a good girl.

He doesn’t speed drive, rarely drinks, and he doesn’t have any other bad habits. Therefore, now that the director has said this to Yang Di, Jordana naturally wants to bring up some of her difficulties. Without drag racing experience, if you want to perform well in the movie Fast and Furious, it will be quite difficult. Rob Cohen nodded and said: "Yes, yes, Jordana, you did a good job. If you have any difficulties in our crew, you should raise them directly and brainstorm. See if there is no better way to solve these problems.

Jordana is the first to raise such a question. As a director, I have actually thought of this issue. I have already contacted the team. Well, Morgan, when will the stunt team come over. "

The team must be contacted. Although some scenes in the movie can be used for stunts, after all, the movie Fast and Furious is known as a road movie. Therefore, when it comes to such a problem, it is necessary to ask the real person to do it. The stunt team area expresses some key shots too. And such a job. , naturally it was Morgan who was the co-ordinating screenwriter to handle it.

As for Morgan, he is actually very familiar with Rob Cohen's character. I don't want the process, I want the result. Therefore, Morgan immediately said: "This thing actually didn't go very smoothly at the beginning. If we talk about stunt teams, the top one should actually be the Saab stunt team.

But because Saab wanted to be in our film and we turned them down, they had a grudge and had no intention of coming. "

It was Ye Ming who paid attention to these things that rejected the attention of other car manufacturers, and it was also Ye Ming who persisted in this way. The Saab stunt team is actually one of the top stunt teams in the world. But the Saab Stunt Team actually has a weakness, that is, it is a team of Saab cars. Therefore, at this time, Ye Ming took over the Saab car. It is strange that the Saab Stunt Team can obediently agree at this time.

But because it was Ye Ming who refused Saab Automobile's cooperation, even if Morgan wanted to complain, he could only complain about it privately.

Ye Ming said calmly: "This matter is actually not surprising at all. After all, we have not accepted Saab's advertisement now. If it is about the next step, then I guess there will not be a big problem. It is better to hire the Saab team." Easy.

But given the current situation, it is strange that the Saab stunt team is willing to come because we have offended Saab. However, I have considered this issue and know that the Saab stunt team is unlikely to come over.

Therefore, I have already contacted a French team, the Bizarro Stunt Team led by David Bizarro. "

Ye Ming is actually one of the investors of the film, so he naturally said that he would be concerned about the progress of the film.

Therefore, there are some things that he must consider clearly. If he can solve a problem, under normal circumstances, he will solve it in advance, such as the problem of the stunt team. In fact, he knows that the possibility of the Saab stunt team coming is very small. Therefore, Ye Ming also contacted the Bizarro Stunt Team in advance.

After Rob Cohen heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Bizzaro Stunt Racing Team, a team like this, doesn't seem to have a very good reputation. It doesn't have a great reputation in the industry." Anyway. No matter what. , as the director Rob Cohen, this guy has never heard of a similar stunt convoy. If you have never heard of it, you can imagine how famous this stunt team is in Hollywood.

Ye Ming said with a smile: "Don't worry, director, this is a very capable stunt team. I believe that it won't take long for Bizarro Stunt Team to become famous all over the world.

By that time, if we invite others again, we will be suspected of following the trend.

Now we are going to make history, the Bizarro Stunt Team should be here tomorrow and by then we will know what the top car tricks in the world are. "

The Bizarro Stunt Team is indeed the most top-notch stunt team, and they often show their style in movies. With a guarantee like Ye Ming's, Rob Cohen felt a little more at ease at this time. Since Ye Ming said he recognized the strength of this stunt team, there was nothing else that the director seemed to be unable to give in to. .

Anyway, if the effect is not good by then, you can just switch to another one.

Rob Cohen nodded and said: "Very good, Ye Ming has saved us a lot of time, now. Even if there is a camera, at this time, we will not shoot today.

Since it was Ye Ming who said that the Bizarro stunt team would arrive tomorrow, under such a situation, our actors took turns to experience the happy and shocking feeling of Fast and Furious. Only with real practical experience can the Fast and Furious movie be made successfully on such a problem. "

The director is very clear. In fact, if he insists on shooting today, there will be no problem, but the shots will definitely not be smooth. Since all the shots will become useless shots, then in At this time, it’s better to let everyone have a good night’s rest.

However, director Rob Cohen is actually not that kind. Let everyone rest well now. Tomorrow everyone should know that there is only a thin line between heaven and hell. Every successful director is a director who is very good at tossing actors. Rob Cohen is also such a director.

After Rob Cohen dispersed, he found Morgan and said, "Ye Ming, what he found is exactly what the Bizarro stunt team is like. It's hard to say. We can't put all our bets on him alone." Go and investigate what kind of team Bizarro Stunt Racing Team is."

This is inevitable. After all, Ye Ming is not from the West. If he may not know some details about the Western stunt teams, then it is not impossible to find an ordinary stunt team. Therefore, as a director, even though he maintains a certain degree of trust in Ye Ming, it is impossible for him not to do any work himself. It is still very necessary to find someone to investigate the Bizarro Racing Team.

At this time, Morgan immediately replied: "When Mr. Ye invited this team, I actually started investigating this team.

This is indeed a first-class stunt team in France, and it has a very good cooperative relationship with the French station of Huihui.com. There are also many videos of this stunt team on Huihui.com, and it is considered a pretty good team.

And I also asked a French friend to check this team, and it does have a good reputation. Just rest assured about this, director. "As a co-ordinating screenwriter, it does not mean that you do whatever the director asks you to do, but that you have to help the director solve problems. Sometimes there are some human problems that the director has not thought of. As a co-ordinating screenwriter, you must help the director pick up the pieces. To fill in the gaps. At this time, Morgan is considered a quite qualified co-ordinating screenwriter.

Rob Cohen didn't ask him to investigate the Bizarro Stunt Team here, but he had already investigated it in advance.

This saves Rob Cohen a lot of time. It’s not unreasonable for Morgan to be able to work with Rob Cohen for so many years. Rob Cohen nodded and said: "If that's the case, that's fine. Just don't delay our movie shooting. I'm afraid that this guy is looking for a relatively rubbish team. If it appears, If something unexpected happens, it will be a big blow to the crew."

Acting can be repeated, but if something goes wrong directly while doing stunts, then there is no possibility of starting over at this time. Therefore, in such a matter, the stunt team that the crew is looking for must be a very reliable and powerful team.

Morgan thought for a moment and said again: "There is no problem with the Bizarro Stunt Team, but the team invited by Ye Ming is not only the Bizarro Stunt Team, but also a stunt team in Hong Kong City, because this matter is not Even if it is a big deal, I have no objection. This stunt team has many works in Hong Kong City, but there are no good works in Hollywood. However, according to people in Hong Kong City, the boss of this team, He's also pretty good at doing stunts. It seems like he's called Ke or something, but the Chinese people just explained that it's hard to remember their names." (To be continued)
