Three days later, Chu Wen got the script of "Charlotte's Troubles".
When she first saw the script, she thought it was absurd and cliché, but after reading it carefully, she could taste something different.
Rebirth movies were popular for a while in the past few years, but they didn't make any big waves.
This type of movie is actually not very suitable for adaptation into a movie, as the story in the novel is much richer than the movie.
However, the biggest highlight of the script given by Lu Hao, apart from the funny parts, is the characters.
Whether it is Ma Dongmei, the Yijianmei group, or the old man "Ma...something Mei" downstairs, they are all extremely impressive.
The box office is definitely not bad.
"How did you write such a good story?"
Chu Wen couldn't help but ask.
"Sometimes I feel like I've been reborn. In my previous life, I was just a low-ranking, minor supporting actor. I've experienced the vicissitudes of life, so after my rebirth, everything went smoothly and I had a great time."
Lu Hao said with a faint smile while smoking a cigarette.
How many true words are said in a joking way?
"Neuropathy."
Chu Wen curled her lips and grumbled casually, then added: "Then I think I was a fairy in my previous life, and a very unruly one at that. Because I offended the Queen Mother, I was banished to the mortal world."
"Well, I pretended to believe it."
"Okay, stop talking nonsense, I'm going to get to work."
Lu Hao decisively ended the topic.
…
It can be said that Lu Hao has poured 120% of his effort into this new movie "The Swordsman". This has been the case since he wrote the script, and it is still the same now.
Every scene and every line of dialogue were the result of repeated imagination, consideration, completion and revision.
Compared to things like [copying movies], this kind of work makes him feel like he has been injected with chicken blood every day, and his brain cells are unprecedentedly active.
Especially the protagonist in this movie.
Lu Hao.
Own.
Lu Hao is very clear that the key to the success of a film series and a movie universe lies in the three golden dimensions of novel and grand settings + golden fingers + a likable protagonist.
There is a novel and grand setting.
The golden finger refers to money and Ark Laboratory.
These two dimensions are actually settings. The only thing that poses a challenge to oneself is the character of the protagonist.
Strictly speaking, the protagonist of this movie cannot be called kind.
He is not a good person.
If it were placed in another movie, he could even be called a villain.
He is worth tens of billions, but he is not generous at all. Instead, he is extremely stingy, like a giant crocodile, madly chasing every bit of wealth he can get.
He is extremely harsh to his subordinates and friends, has a bad temper, and is prone to beating and scolding people. The film features many scenes of his subordinates being punched, kicked, and even slapped by him.
He is a cunning person who never suffers any loss and believes in the naked jungle theory and bandit logic.
In the film, Lu Hao also designed many classic lines for him that are extremely challenging to the values of ordinary people.
for example:
——"The strong and the weak have two completely different mindsets. If I could only describe them in two words, the weak mindset would be - hello, while the strong mindset would be - I want."
——"Fuck your mother! You're just venting your emotions by cursing like that, but I can really do it. It all depends on whether I'm in the mood and whether your mother is pretty."
——"Aliens? The Earth is going to be destroyed? Even if the Earth is destroyed, I can still run faster than you because I'm stepping on your head."
certainly.
In addition to these, Lu Hao is also well versed in character creation. To turn a pure villain into a lovable and charming villain, only three points are needed.
First, be handsome enough or beautiful enough.
Just like the joke on the Internet says, if you are good-looking, everything you say is right.
Second, there is a motivation of extremely noble universal values.
In this movie, the protagonist Lu Hao's noblest and most sensational motive is to save his terminally ill wife.
He would give anything to achieve this.
The third is the reversal of the character beyond the personality setting, in layman's terms, it is whitewashing.
A good person who has done good things all his life, but did a bad thing at the last moment, whether it was an affair or theft, will be denied his life's efforts, and all the good deeds before will be wasted. He will be labeled as hypocritical and two-faced.
However, a bad person, even if he has committed many evil deeds, if he saves someone at a critical moment or turns over a new leaf, he will be called a prodigal son who has returned home and is as good as gold, and who can become a Buddha by putting down his butcher knife.
The value evaluation system of most people is so weird.
In stories and movies, such expressions are naturally everywhere, and they often exist as climaxes.
…
Half a month has passed since Chu Wen left, and the filming progress is still proceeding in an orderly manner according to Lu Hao's plan.
The budget was spent like water every day, the crew was busy from morning to night, and the tension in Lu Hao's mind was getting tighter and tighter.
His figure became visibly thinner.
When I first joined the crew, I weighed about 140 kilograms, which is a normal weight for an adult man of 1.8 meters.
Now, in more than two months, I have gradually lost weight to 120 kilograms.
There was no deliberate exercise, but the daily hard work and high-intensity shooting tasks made me become this thin naturally.
Lu Hao smiled less and less, and his temper became more and more irritable on the set.
I started to suffer from insomnia at night.
Wake up very early in the morning.
Although this situation was a little beyond Lu Hao's expectations, he had a rough idea of it.
Too immersed in the play.
Commonly known as a drama maniac.
This role was originally based on my own identity, so I naturally had a strong sense of substitution psychologically. In addition, I pondered the role every day, thinking about the character's mental activities, expressions and actions, and it became natural.
The line between the self in the play and the real self is becoming more and more blurred.
It can even be said that they are one and the same.
Human character is inherently extremely complex and multifaceted, but in the play, the side that is usually hidden and well controlled is completely revealed.
and……
Although he discovered such signs and trends, Lu Hao did not deliberately build up his mental strength, but let it grow and develop, step by step approaching the perfect image of the "protagonist" in his mind.
In this state, Lu Hao felt that his acting skills had been elevated.
Acting is a very mysterious concept. You may not be able to understand it yourself, but the audience can see it at a glance.
The highest praise is not "Oh my god, this guy acted so realistically", but "I really want to kill him", "I was scared to death", "I really want to marry him" and so on.
Looking at the footage shot and edited every day, Lu Hao felt that he had done it.
