Chapter 38 Dedicate yourself to art, your mother can understand
Li Mingyang was sitting in the passenger seat. He always felt that there was a sound from behind, but he couldn't hear it clearly. When he looked back, he saw Zhang Xiaofei sitting awkwardly in the corner.
Yang Mi and Liu Yifei were whispering, not knowing what they were talking about.
Looking at this harmonious scene, Li Mingyang thought of that classic scene for some reason.
On Weibo Night in 2023, during the final group photo session, Liu Yifei had already taken her position on the stage, and Yang Mi should be standing next to her.
However, Yang Mi stopped a few meters away from Liu Yifei and quickly waved her hand for the baby to stand over.
After he broke off, the baby did not accept the move and waved to Yang Mi and Liu Yifei to stand together. The two sides were in a stalemate here, which was very funny.
When Master Liu saw that something was wrong, he did not participate in the dispute and quickly took a step back and stayed away from this Shura field.
In the end, Hu Ge came to the rescue.
Actually, this is not the worst part.
The most annoying thing was that Liu Yifei was indifferent throughout the whole night. She sat next to Hu Ge, and on the other side were Yang Mi, Liu Shishi, and the baby. No one interacted with her, and her only good sister Tang Yan was blocked outside the venue.
Isolated.
When they arrived at the KTV, the waiter led the five people directly to a large private room. After a while, Dayun and Qiao Shan also arrived.
Just when everyone was singing at their peak, Liu Yifei patted Li Mingyang on the shoulder and motioned to go out and talk.
Li Mingyang touched his nose and thought something must be up to him.
The two of them came to an unoccupied box one after another. The box was a little dark. Liu Yifei took off her sunglasses.
Her eyes were red, her eyes were swollen, and she had obviously cried.
Liu Yifei sat on the sofa, holding her knees, tapping her fingers, and after a while she said: "My mother disagrees."
"It's OK if you want."
“I don’t want to make my mother angry.”
"The contract has been signed, so we can't break it."
"Although I can't break the contract, my mother can sue you..." Liu Yifei said hesitantly.
"I'm also helping you, your mother doesn't need to be so cruel."
Although Li Mingyang is not afraid of being accused, it will slow down the filming progress! Every day is money!
The most important thing is that Tianxian’s time in China is limited!
Liu Yifei brushed the broken hair around her ears and showed a flattering smile, "I don't know what to do. The next step is up to you, Director Li. You have to convince my mother before I can shoot."
Your mother is so difficult...how can I persuade her.
Peach Blossom Eyes has no effect on her, otherwise she could still sleep in it.
Li Mingyang took out cigarettes from his pocket and lit one.
“You still smoke?” Liu Yifei asked in surprise.
"Give me time for a cigarette."
Liu Yifei snorted, covered her mouth and nose, and looked at Li Mingyang with her eyes like autumn water.
Mimi said he has many clever ideas and will definitely be able to take care of his mother.
It is unclear whether it can be done or not.
Looking at his posture, he smokes a lot... He's a heavy smoker.
This cigarette was smoked.
Liu Yifei's little good impression of Li Mingyang was completely ruined. She hated men who smoked the most.
Li Mingyang, who has been on a blind date, naturally knows this.
But when I wrote the script, I became addicted to smoking, and I had to wait until the movie was released before quitting.
"Tell your mother this, there are many sex scenes and passionate scenes in the movie. If you dare to sue Li Mingyang, I will actually film it."
Liu Yifei covered her mouth and swallowed secretly, "Don't come here, my mother will beat you. It hurts when she hits someone."
"Dedicate yourself to art, your mother can understand."
“I can’t understand.”
“Now is the time to solve your mother’s problem, and it doesn’t have to be filmed.”
Liu Yifei thought for a while, this is the reason. He walked out the door with his nose scrunched up and left the KTV.
Looking at Liu Yifei's leaving figure, Li Mingyang said speechlessly: "I meant to make a phone call. Are you going to tell your mother in person?"
Li Mingyang really guessed it right.
Liu Yifei really went home and talked to Liu Xiaoli. He said while taking off his clothes, hooking his legs and biting his lips, assuming a seductive posture.
Liu Xiaoli was in a complicated mood. She was a good girl who had worked hard to raise her. Her elbows were turned outward, and she couldn't beat or scold her. She hated Li Mingyang in her heart.
...
The next day for the test shoot, Liu Xiaoli and Liu Yifei came together.
Li Mingyang put on his sunglasses silently, ignoring the murderous gaze of his mother.
In 2008, domestic film shooting is entering the digital era. The economy, stability, real-time performance and storage of digital photography are unmatched by film.
Of course, a digital movie camera for shooting high-end movies is not that expensive, costing hundreds of thousands.
I can't afford it at all, so I can only rent it.
Generally speaking, filming a movie requires at least two cameras, so that different scenes can be shot at the same time, and motion splicing can be done during editing.
Although funds were limited, Li Mingyang rented two cameras.
Zhong Xiaoyu and Liu Yifei are the same height.
Before Liu Yifei came, Li Mingyang asked her to be the lighting replacement, fix the lighting, scenery, positioning, and make some marks on the ground.
On the one hand, these marks allow the actors to know where to go, and on the other hand, they prevent the actors from running out of the screen.
The acting level of an actor is directly related to the director's ability.
Of course, the premise is that the director can direct the actors.
In the traffic era, except for a few big directors, most directors really don’t know how to direct traffic stars. If one fails to serve them well, they will be replaced.
This is also the fundamental reason why there were so many bad dramas later.
After the IP+traffic star formula failed, the director's status was elevated, and the spring for veteran actors came.
Of course, this is not surprising that the traffic era is over.
It’s just a different skin and a different routine.
In the morning, I filmed several location scenes on a remote road.
Li Mingyang felt a thump in his heart and had a bad feeling.
In the afternoon, everyone went to the restaurant to shoot interior scenes.
After filming two scenes, Li Mingyang's mood reached rock bottom.
“Let’s just shoot here today, finish the work and have dinner, the boss will serve the food.”
Li Mingyang greeted, and the studio suddenly became noisy with people talking and laughing.
They all feel good about themselves, especially Liu Yifei and Zhang Ruoyun.
Li Mingyang now looked at how the two of them looked at each other and how they didn't like it.
After dinner, the behind-the-scenes staff returned to the dormitory, and several main actors followed Li Mingyang back to Mingyang Entertainment to look at today's shooting materials.
After reading the material in the office, Liu Yifei said happily: "The shots are really beautiful."
"Good-looking? It's just that you are good-looking." Li Mingyang said dissatisfied.
Liu Yifei took a sip of milk and nodded proudly, "The angle is really good, the lighting is also good, it makes me glow so white."
Li Mingyang glanced at Qiao Shan, Zhang Ruoyun, Xiao Yang, and Tan Songyun.
The four of them were all complimentary and did not see any problem at all.
Li Mingyang moved his eyes upward and stared blankly at the ceiling.
If you keep taking photos like this, you will be doomed!
The difference between the test footage and the original bouquet is ridiculous.
This is not a script problem, but a problem with the actors and behind-the-scenes team.
Even if Liu Yifei leaves the country without makeup, she is still so beautiful.
Zhang Ruoyun stood beside her, not like a couple, but like a wretched yellow hair.
In addition, both of them have problems with their acting skills. Their emotions have no fluctuations, their eyes have no light, and they cannot play the role of the male and female protagonists of the original Bouquet... They are too far apart.
If we don’t make changes, we won’t be able to shoot a bouquet of love, and we will only be able to shoot exaggerated youth pain movies.
The behind-the-scenes team can still train the newcomers. If it doesn't work, they can substitute others or do it themselves, but actors are a big problem!
