Peninsula all-media reporter Huang Jingfei intern Mei Wei
Which "king bomb" of the 2022 summer file? I believe that many people will mention the fantasy comedy "Mozart in Outer Space" directed by Chen Sicheng and starring Huang Bo and Rong Zishan. Light science fiction + family comedy is definitely the most suitable ace setting for the whole family to watch together in the summer, especially the combination of Huang Bo + Rong Zishan launched by director Chen Sicheng, which will be another pair of film partners who have strongly harvested the box office after the "Detective" series. The main creator of the interview film learned that from the shooting technology to the theme "Mozart in Outer Space", a lot of innovation has been made, and as the backbone of the Chinese film industry, Huang Bo has also created more surprises for fans. In the summer slot when the entire film market needs to boost morale, "Mozart in Outer Space" is highly anticipated by the industry.
Designing a small braid "rock middle age" is very stylish
Looking for that in "Mozart in Outer Space", the whimsical imagination and childlike brain holes of the director and screenwriter may once again trigger a new round of "light science fiction" boom. Huang Bo, the "shoulder handle" of the comedy industry, this time played in the film as a "rock middle-aged", now an insurance salesman Ren Dawang, the pigtails behind the head and the image of picking up a broom anytime and anywhere "start a model" with laughter.
Talking about the former "rock singer" role played this time, Huang Bo said that he had a lot of feelings, because he also had an experience as a "singer". Huang Bo revealed that Ren Dawang's earliest style did not have small braids, "maybe it felt a little too normal at that time, in such a play or did not want him to be too 'flat', I hope to be able to slowly reflect the characteristics of the previous profession, although like the reality of the head, but once a little dream, there is still a long hair." ”
During filming, Huang Bo refined his lines. Because of his identity and experience as a "former singer", he specifically called the music director Hu Xiaoou before filming, understanding that the repertoire to be played at a certain stage of piano learning is "Turkish March". Director Chen Sicheng revealed, "At that time, the line said: I hope to hear the melodious piano sound immediately. But Bo Ge is straight: I hope to hear Turkey right away. This change proves that first of all, he has the heart of a literary youth and has some sense of humor. These details I think are particularly good details given by the actors. “
Working with idol Huang Bo was so intense that he kept drinking water
Rong Zishan, who shined in film and television dramas such as "The Hidden Corner", broke the "bad boy" type of gloomy personality, turned around and became a middle school teenager who racked his brains for astronomical dreams and fought with his father, "this time is a pure and good child". Rong Zishan said that working with idol Huang Bo is a dream come true, "I want to become an actor like Huang Bo's teacher." An outward-looking and cheerful Rong Zishan was so nervous that he kept drinking water to calm his mood when he first saw Huang Bo on the set, and after several scenes, Huang Bo praised Rong Zishan as "the old drama bone of childhood".
"Ren Dawang was a rock musician when he was young, and now he is pinning his hopes on the next generation, pinning his unfinished dreams and careers on his children." Ren Dawang (Huang Bo), who has an immortal "rock dream", wants to train his son Ren Xiaotian (Rong Zishan) to become "Lang Lang", but his son only wants to travel in the astronomical world, and his dream is to explore outer space, and the mysterious alien "Mozart" appears in this family at this time. This alien visitor comes from a planet with art as its energy,
Decadent, small people, and dreams, sci-fi family comedy, Huang Bo and Rong Zishan's setting in the film, there is a bit of Zhou Xingchi's "Yangtze River Seven" shadow.
"I'm your dad!" I am good to you! It is the sentence that Huang Bo is most impressed by the role of Ren Dawang, and it is also the unified line of "National Dad". Talking about the "antagonistic" father-son relationship in the film, Huang Bo revealed, "When I was a child, I had a somewhat similar experience with Ren Xiaotian in the film, I wanted to learn music and wanted to sing, I wanted to do things about art and literature, and I didn't support myself at home, I felt that this was not a profession and occupation that could support life, and it was okay to play as a hobby, and it can be said that my experience was almost the same. ”
Huang Bo mentioned that when doing the audience meeting, an audience member said that seeing the kind of brilliance and fantasy in the film was the kind of beauty that he did not dare to imagine, and it was also a kind of regret in his childhood, because he did not insist on his dream. "Pick the sounds you like, make them your friends, become soldiers under your command."
Carefully designed details to show the "embarrassment" of small people
Huang Bo has had many contacts with director Chen Sicheng before, but regrets that he has not been able to cooperate. "When I was filming "Tang Detective" a long time ago, the director looked for me, and I lost it. This time I took such a funny script for me, and after reading it, I thought it was very interesting and decided to play it together. ”
Huang Bo will design different performance methods on the set, shooting more than 30 scenes of being assassinated by "Mozart", "just hoping to find the most accurate one, sometimes it may not be the kind of accuracy imagined, or how can we refuse the possibility of a better one?" ”
During the filming process, Huang Bo carefully designed a lot of details. Chen Sicheng revealed, "There is a scene in which Bo Ge and Mei Ting play a scene of a divorced mother. At that time, Bo Ge wanted to give Rong Zishan pocket money at the scene, showing that he wanted to give a lot. Bo Ge asked for a piece of paper, asked if there was a paper towel, he rubbed the paper towel wrinkled and put it in his pocket. When he took out the money during the actual shooting, he found that he was still carrying a crumpled napkin. Through such details, the embarrassment of a small person is fully revealed. In fact, this is not in the script, the script can not write such details, but Bo Ge will know. I think these details are given by very capable actors and artists. “
Every time he talks about Huang Bo, Chen Sicheng has a lot of heartfelt praise, "I really admire Bo Ge in terms of character shaping ability, he has made the role of Dawang 'lifelike', there are many arcs that are not in my script, it is the actors who can present it according to their own charm or a move of hands, including some small details of the design." ”
The first work of the "Outer Space Trilogy" has an indicator significance
Teach acting, teach singing, make sculptures... Huang Bo is even more skilled on the set. On the shooting scene, director Chen Sicheng and Huang Bo together taught Rong Zishan to sing "Moon River" and how to perform the feeling of self-confidence. Huang Bo brought professional sculpture clay to the scene, and he would knead clay sculptures in his free time.
Talking about the feelings of shooting the movie "Mozart in the Outer Sky", Huang Bo said, "I think the premise of everything that can be done well and done is interest, for example, I do clay sculpture or painting, and I have not learned, but I like to do it, slowly and slowly, it seems that I can also make some things that have a similar appearance." The reason is to like, like there are infinite possibilities. ”
The fantasy family movie "Mozart in Outer Space" is the first fixed blockbuster in this year's summer program, and it is also the first work of Chen Sicheng's "Outer Space Trilogy" (the other two are "Chopin of Outer Space" and "Monet in Outer Space"). This film is quite indicative, it not only combines science fiction, comedy, parent-child elements, but also the first IMAX movie in China to try live motion capture shooting.
This is indeed a fantasy film that can subvert the past perception of director Chen Sicheng. Imaginative pictures, fairy tale atmosphere visual effects, and romantic adventures beyond the light year are brought to every audience through light and shadow. As a director, Chen Sicheng in Huang Bo's eyes also has a lot of unique features, "He is a talented director, before he was an actor, through these films, he slowly found his real interest and fun, for the movies he wants to make, he is very decisive, very assertive, especially know what he wants." ”
