Chapter 149： "the Hangover" (1/2)

”Guys, if I use it to knock on the TV one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one,” Wang Yang hit a wine hiccup, holding a golf club in his hand, the pace was a little wobbly, and he looked back Tom and Zachary on the couch asked with a smirk: ”Will the TV explode?”

Zachary said drunkly: ”I don't know” before the voice fell, he fell down on the sofa with a puff, and slurped to sleep until the night: Tom walked slowly to the room. There was no sound; Joshua had been lying on the ground like a pig, and the corners of his mouth were flowing. Fiction * Collection ~ Reading Net) Water; Wang Yang held the golf club with both hands, and reluctantly stood up and pointed at the TV The screen swung vigorously and smiled: ”Try to know! ”

”Hahaha” The bright sunshine shines into the study room ”With the bursts of laughter and the clatter of the keyboard, the text on the computer screen is also increasing rapidly. Thinking of the absurdity of the night before, ”Wang Yang couldn't help but laugh” while writing the script, from time to time using Wu pen to draw some shots on the drawing paper.

Although he shoots for fun without any scruples, he will not think about the box office evaluations, what Oscar Golden Globe Awards, nor will he think about any things worth pondering, he just wants to shoot a fun, funny Commercial movies ”make yourself happy to make the audience happy. But good fun does not mean casual, he is most happy that he made a good movie, without wasting this interesting theme story” So this game should be played seriously and pursued Higher customs clearance score.

Because there are too many pressures in life ”too many restrictions, whether it is ordinary students or presidents, whatever class is good, there will always be their own worries.” Some people cannot even be a real self. So everyone has a need to indulge themselves, go crazy and have fun. ”Maybe except the priest priest, maybe not; and in Las Vegas, you can be anyone who” shows his true self ”drunk regardless of the consequences. One time, to end the normal relaxation of those singing and dancing movements, to do some crazy things.

This is where the theme is ”born cool”, but in the case of a movie, how do you tell this story? Crazy farewell to bachelor party ”crazy foursome?”

The future part has done a very good job, and it grabs a wonderful main line insertion point ”that is, after the wake-up. Next, on the one hand, the story of last night is told in a flashback way to restore the past. On the other hand, Tell the story after the hangover in the way you are doing now.

At the same time, it is also ingenious to use the structure of suspense films. The protagonists have to draw cocoons like a crime investigation. They also face all the sudden changes, full of unknown and adventure. ”Interest” is loved by their nerves. This kind of storytelling technique is very good, otherwise it can be very funny if you make a straight line ”When you arrive in Las Vegas, drunk, crazy, sober, and ending”, but No surprises at all.

The story after sobering up is taken from what happened overnight. So the script is a straight line, and it must be written clearly before and after the hangover, or you can write a lot, with different consequences, and then make a choice when editing later, because the most important It ’s a suspense structure that shakes out what they did last night and laughs, even if it ’s irrelevant.

In that part, looking for the groom is more of a gimmick. In the end, it ’s not natural to find the “face” and reminded by a “roof” to remind the truth, but this “roof” can be spoken by anyone in any word. .

Wang Yang wanted to take this theme more closely. There is a greater correlation between ”unit stories”, and the ending can be more exciting and unexpected. These are the goals.

But a funny comedy movie ”The Big Story is important, but the details are more critical. The fun is the story, the funny is the details. These details are like leaves.” Everywhere in the movie, the more leaves The tree will be more lush and beautiful.

For example, the bride ’s younger brother, Allen, took off his trousers when measuring his new suit at the beginning. He wore a protective triangle bandage. If that ’s ordinary briefs, it ’s much lighter and more cliché; On the trip to Las Vegas, Allen excitedly screamed at the cute little girl in a car next to him, the little girl raised his **** to him, etc. These are the funny places.

And laughter is divided into many kinds, how to amuse the audience? The most common and straightforward in Hollywood is vulgar shit, pee, and spoof, imitation, and sarcasm. As for swearing, it is no longer worth mentioning. Wang Yang will not consider the question of ”sunshine image”. ”That is stinky shit.” No matter how the story is made, it is a first-class movie, and only in the first class can it fully display its crazy charm.

But that kind of vulgarity is not suitable: his favorite joke is not shit, pee, or exaggerated body language like Kim Il-Kari, or Zhou Xingchi's ”wrongness” in Hong Kong films, which he likes, but he likes most And what I want to play the most is the kind of joke that can be expressed with the lens technique of ”only knowing what is unspeakable”.

No need for lines, and try to use your own face: just a few simple expressions, eye collisions, and a serious soundtrack, but when you put it there, it will have a hilarious soundtrack. ”There are also fast or slow or exaggerated shots, You can laugh at the dead, and it's worth remembering many times.

A very simple and cliché example is that at a serious wedding, a person is about to fall out of ugliness, shooting his fall in a super slow motion, as well as the expression changes of everyone around him, while laying sad , Or a sacred soundtrack, he fell to the ground again. What happened in the first two or two seconds took 20 seconds, and these 20 seconds can make people laugh, and continue to laugh for a minute or even a few minutes.

For a few minutes, the comedy movie was successful, so his favorite part was the whole process of electric shock of big fat man Alan at the police station.

In any case, everything in the comedy must be designed and played with hilarious thinking, and the entire crew must play. The hilarious index of the crew determines the hilarious index of the movie. The scorer, photographer, and screenwriter must be funny. The director wants to be funny, but Wang Yang does n’t know if he is funny enough, so he is ready to immerse himself in comedy movies and TV series, and draw more inspiration and inspiration.

But the important thing is that the actor also wants to be funny ”not just on the big screen, not acting, but he is the kind of funny guy, in addition to understanding the role modeling”, but also because many details are produced on the spot, it is an actor What they played, it seemed that the protective triangle bandage pants were the idea of ​​Allen's actor Zach-Gary Fiannakis.

”Well ...” Wang Yang stopped when he thought of Zach-Gary Fiannakis, and turned his chair to think about the choice of actors.

A comedy movie may not require superb acting skills, but it also has its unique requirements and dependence on actors. Not everyone is suitable for comedy, and some people are standing there, staring with a pair of eyes, even if it is a bad script. He can make you laugh ”Maybe this is called” joy ”.

Some people ’s sense of happiness is accumulated by the works. At first, he did n’t have a funny face, but after a few characters, the audience wanted to laugh when he saw him. ; And some people are talented, and they are born with a sense of joy. They all say ”fun”, and of course it is more difficult to make a transition. Zach-Garifiannakis is the latter.

The protagonist here is naturally a four-person quarrel in Las Vegas ”and a beautiful dancer bride; the four-person group is the groom Doug, two good brothers, and the bride's brother. Doug can become more It ’s funny, but the structure is destined not to focus on the story: in the drunken trio, a teacher who has a wife and a child who loves his family, but a bad, unruly teacher: a dentist who is honestly humiliated by his girlfriend wearing a cuckold: a weird and out of temper The fat man with high IQ, that is, the younger brother of the bride.

The selection of the trio is crucial, and the fat man is the top priority. After thinking for a while, Wang Yang picked up the mouse and opened the webpage. Google searched for Zac Galifianakis. ”Looking at the bearded face, he smiled suddenly and said,” This guy is too funny. Now! ”

Zac was born in October 1969, ”Greek descent, and is now just an unknown actor, so there is not much information. This guy can be said to be from a” famous family ”, his father is a heating supplier, and his uncle is a member of Parliament, and He is an undergraduate from the University of North Carolina. In 1995, he first appeared on the screen and played a very short role in sitcoms. Then he was a screenwriter for the variety festival ”Saturday Night Live” for two weeks, and then fell. Unclear.

But he has also played some dragon sets and small supporting roles on the big screen, such as pizza courier, bus station passengers, etc., the small role with the name is Bill ”the mother and daughter stealing the heart” Bill ...
