  Realism has fireworks

  Individual struggle to create miracles

  "Pyrotechnics" is Wen Muye's most frequently mentioned word in interviews. It is his long-standing appeal to the movie to restore the story to the truth and put his emotions into practice. Wen Muye said: "If there is fireworks, it must be grounded, at least you When you see the characters in the movie in this environment, the way they speak and behave, and the way the actors present should be the same as in real life, it is because this can be called a realistic theme, and this is also the premise and standard for the movie to empathize with the audience. ." In terms of creation, original scripts and realistic themes are all challenging expressions, but over the years, Wen Muye has been insisting on deep cultivation in such works. The story of his second feature film took place in Shenzhen, telling the story of A story that happened from 2013 to 2014, his creative theme still falls on the characters.

Different from the civilian hero described in "I'm Not the God of Medicine" directed by him, he said, "Miracle Stupid Child" is more about the "individual hero" in the long history, "This person is very ordinary, but for his Home, he can be a hero to those he cares about."

  For the concept of miracle, Wen Muye has many interpretations. He said that the city of Shenzhen is a miracle in the first place, and then focuses the core of the theme on each "individual", so that the audience can see the big in the small and medium, and see the miracle city of Shenzhen and its rise. How the spirit was born: "Basically, the creative techniques and elements we use are all suitable for the story itself, no matter from the perspectives of photography, art, and editing, they all serve the story, and this time, we also added a relatively fast pace. Narrative and stylized elements." As a representative of entrepreneurship in the film, Jing Hao has experienced the hardships and struggles of life. From struggling alone to starting a business together with the miracle team, Wen Muye wants to use his stories to show young people's love for happiness. Persist in pursuit to pay tribute: "Protect family members and pursue happiness, everyone can do it, but everyone is facing all kinds of disappointments in life. Everyone is trying to find a way to continue their life, and Jing Hao is thousands of thousands of people. He is the epitome of a struggling young man in Shenzhen. He has the spirit of fighting hard and pursuing happiness. Everyone can find their own shadow in the movie. The miracle is that he never gives up in the face of difficulties and believes that he can pursue the happiness in his heart. In fact, For everyone, behind the miracle is the struggle."

 【Performance】

  Struggling characters have a "naive" side

  Yi Yang Qianxi's precocious "very soft"

  "Understanding the role and presenting yourself" is Wen Muye's understanding of performance. If it is too technically performed, if it is too deliberate, it will not only be difficult for the actors to enter the play, but it will also show excessive performance effects.

Fortunately, each of the actors in "Miracle Stupid Child" presents a performance beyond the text with the most authentic experience and perception of the character.

The actor who impressed him the most was Yi Yang Qianxi, who played the leading role of Jing Hao. "We found Qian Xi to play Jing Hao, and the most important thing is that he is suitable for the role. The feeling he gave me was that he was very naive. The bright side, but also the side of carrying ideals and persevering in struggle, these two things together form the Jing Hao I want. We were discussing and thinking about who is suitable for Jing Hao, and later found out that Qian Xi is in the camera. His previous performance and character presentation are all very appropriate. He has many faces, mature, stubborn, gentle, and fragile, just like Jing Hao who has many sides. Show us more sides."

  But is there any difference between Jing Hao and Yi Yang Qianxi?

How to tap the "little person" temperament of Yi Yang Qianxi?

It is full of challenges for Wen Muye, "Their life experiences are indeed very different, but Qianxi is a really down-to-earth and sensible child. He made his debut at a very young age. His parents are in Shenzhen and have a younger brother. These experiences make He is a little precocious, and at the same time (his heart) is also very soft. I am very impressed by how he gets along with children on the set. It is very natural. He doesn't mean to tease each other, he will show his child's side. , and different people can be in the same state." Wen Muye revealed that the main creators read the script in depth together, and went through the lines and the intention to be conveyed, so that the characters can be presented in a very three-dimensional manner: "Thousands Xi is a very smart and spiritual actor, he is really down-to-earth, he will thoroughly study the nature of the character and himself, he knows the situation the character belongs to, and it is easy to surprise the character."

【Interview】

  After two months, the actors have become the characters in the film, and there is no need to perform

  Beijing News: You can always find suitable roles for the right actors. Are these actors in "Miracle Squad" your first choice?

  Wen Muye: Yes, they are the first candidates. I started looking for them after I wrote the script.

The text is just the foundation. After the filming, almost everyone's performance went beyond the text and exceeded our expectations.

  Beijing News: Do they improvise a lot on the scene?

  Wen Muye: With enough textual basis, the actors can have more freedom to play on the spot.

After you give a general direction, a few key lines and plot information, on this basis, it is more important for actors to present their own corresponding reactions.

Basically, our group didn’t need to break in after about two months of filming. They all became the characters in the film without exception. They didn’t need to perform at all in the later stage. They just wore costumes, went to the scene, and lived naturally and naturally. show.

  Beijing News: What was the biggest challenge when shooting?

  Wen Muye: It should be the Spider-Man scene in the movie. Qianxi played Spider-Man here. He has a scene of cleaning skyscrapers.

We all know that Spider-Man is on the 50th floor, while watering and wiping, while the wind is blowing and the sun is drying. In fact, the sun has been shining on the high-rise buildings, and the temperature can be almost 50 degrees Celsius. When the blower blows, the actor not only has to control his body, but also learn how to hang it on the outer wall to clean the glass, which is very difficult to shoot.

Of course, we didn't actually hang it on the outer wall. We adopted a combination of real scenes and studio shots, but we had to combine the real Spider-Man work with the entire real urban environment.

  The Beijing News: Did Yi Yang Qianxi perform as hard as the characters on the set?

  Wen Muye: This is how filming is. For example, there are many rain scenes in Shenzhen. The weather conditions are very bad. It often rains, and sometimes there are thunderstorms and strong winds. The film wraps in the body to keep warm. If the whole body is wet, it is easy to catch a cold, but Qianxi never wraps it, because he thinks that doing so will affect his experience and affect his performance, which is really hard.
