The bachelor party's fault
For a comedy, especially one shot in Las Vegas, the audience must be thinking about casinos, but for "The Hangover" director Todd Phillips, the movie It's actually a comedy that doesn't have much to do with gambling: "The movie chose Las Vegas as the setting, first of all because I'm very familiar with it and I like the city very much, I think in Las Vegas , always something unexpected happens. After reading the script written by Jon Lucas, I was hooked on this story, it is a comedy that jokes about amnesia, and several protagonists must find one The memory lost at night, and in the process of looking for this memory, many ridiculous things happened one after another, this is "The Hangover"."
There are already many movies about bachelor parties, such as the Oscar-nominated "Cup" "Drinking Life" has won a lot of praise, and how is this "Hangover" different from previous works of the same theme? For this, director Todd Phillips said: "Bachelorette parties are typical American culture, but they actually have a bit of pre-marital fear. Can't you have a party with your best friend after you get married? This is just an American style. Free catharsis, so in "The Hangover", I decided to amplify this catharsis, and let everyone see what the consequences will be if the bachelor party goes crazy all night, and how many ridiculous things our protagonist can do in one night. Of course, it's not a didactic movie, it just uses this kind of exaggeration to create a joke, and I'm sure the audience has never seen such a loud bachelor party."
The screenwriter Jon Lucas has been one of the most famous in recent years The well-known comedy writer, "Four Christmases" at the end of last year, and "Ghosts of Ex-Girlfriends" still in theaters are all from his pen. What's new about this new work "The Hangover"? Jon Lucas said: "This story used to bother me, because there is a lot of dialogue in the film, if you can make these dialogues interesting, not conventional, and not let the audience feel deja vu, this is my story. The biggest challenge I faced when writing a script. I was always thinking about dialogue and plots from similar movies in the past, and I had to make sure that I was not affected by these works, so that I could write a new story.”
new generation comedian
"The Hangover" is a comedy with character dialogue as the main laughing material. In addition to having a good story, how to choose actors is also a key reason for the success of the film. One of the leading actors, Zach Galifianakis, has previously appeared in Sean Penn's "Wild Life" and "Love Las Vegas", which is also a Las Vegas comedy theme. Zach Galifianakis said: "It was a lot of fun to make this movie, everyone couldn't help laughing on the set, and the joyful atmosphere infected everyone on the set. I know that It's very disrespectful to do, but considering that the "Hangover" we starred in is such a ridiculous and funny movie, as an actor, I and several other protagonists couldn't control themselves. During the shooting process, there were a few scenes where I I have to play with a baby, that's a real child, he just hangs on my chest like that, everyone can't help but want to laugh when they see that look, but the director is miserable, because we definitely didn't achieve what he wanted We didn't get much scolding, but he's a good-natured director."
Like Zach Galifianakis, another star, Ed Helms, was apparently immersed in the shooting process. Among the joyful memories: "The Hangover was really a joy to shoot, the actors were so energetic, and the script was so interesting. It was really enjoyable to be filming with a little baby, because Children themselves have a factor that makes people feel happy and warm, as long as you try to stay with babies all day, you will be able to feel happy. But many people know that if it is filming, babies and animals It's the hardest to control, it's always going to bring you surprises of one kind or another, but it's so insignificant compared to the joy you get out of it, I really love being with babies and seeing them makes me smile It would crawl into my face involuntarily."
For a comedy as crazy and hilarious as "The Hangover," improvisation also has a huge weight and space here, as Zach Galifianakis explains: For me, the biggest feeling besides having a very good cast is the director Todd Phillips. Todd Phillips is very tolerant of us, and he often encourages us on set and in private meetings to discuss the plot We tried a lot of plots in every episode of the movie. He told us that a good actor can get out of the script and do some improvisation. We did the show, but then we found out that Todd Phillips was right, we always had a lot of ideas when we were actually shooting, and sometimes a proper on-the-spot performance could add a lot to the film, but it needed to be communicated with the actors in advance, And to have an appropriate limit. It's our job to make jokes, but it's really to make the audience laugh, not the actors themselves. So Todd Phillips is really a noble director at this point , he gave our actors a space to play as much as possible, and let us understand how the performance can achieve the best effect, I like to cooperate with such a director, which is a good thing for the film and the actors."
As a director, Todd Phillips also felt helpless about the frequent laughter scenes on the set, but he also felt that it was understandable: "I can't blame the actors for this, but their laughter shows that "The Hangover" "The story is so well written, I can only thank Jon first for this. They are both very professional actors, and I hope they can have a very relaxed state when playing their roles, so that they can integrate into their roles, and the laughs are a relief in a way. The filming didn't take that long, and most of the scenes were indoors, and we had plenty of time for the actors to slowly adjust to their own status, so I'm not worried that the laughing scene will affect the shooting and the overall quality of the film, on the contrary, it has given a lot of interesting tidbits to the DVD production, and I think the audience will also like to see how these lads are also off-camera. Laugh as much as the audience."
