In Duras's original work, she did not want to find a girl who lived in France as a child to play the heroine, nor did she want the heroine to be a beauty.
But this was ignored by Yang Ye. If he didn't find a beautiful woman to play, what kind of male lead would I be willing to do?
Specially looking for ugly women to be the heroines was something that would only happen in Hollywood thirty years later.
The filming sequence for "Lover" was to first go to Vietnam to shoot the exterior scenes, and then set up a studio in Hong Kong to shoot the indoor scenes.
As for the most important part of the movie...the intimate scene, it was shot together after all the other scenes were shot.
This approach, firstly, gives time for Yang Ye and Sophie Marceau to develop a relationship, so as not to make the filming awkward.
The second reason is that because these scenes all take place in the same scene, the easiest way is to shoot them all together and let Yang Ye and Sophie Marceau do it all at once!
......
"Let me do it all at once and give you everything I have..."
Yang Ye hummed a little tune and walked into the Grand View Studio.
In order to facilitate shooting, a special gun room has been built on the set.
"Good morning, Yang! What are you singing?" Sophie Marceau greeted Yang Ye with a smile!
"Good morning, I just hummed it casually, impromptu."
Yang Ye said something nonsense, and Sophie Marceau couldn't understand it anyway.
“It sounds pretty good. I think you can try to make a French album.”
After two months of getting along, Sophie Marceau and Yang Ye have become very familiar with each other.
Because the director asked them to develop a relationship, Yang Ye took Sophie Marceau everywhere after filming.
Go to Victoria Peak to watch the sunrise, and go to Lamma Island to eat seafood.
Sail out to sea and go to Yang Ye’s secret base to see the glowing squid.
Swarms of squid surrounded the yacht, emitting a little bit of fluorescence and connecting with the stars in the sky. In the romantic atmosphere, they couldn't help but kiss.
"I'm sorry, I was abrupt."
"It doesn't matter, it's very romantic!"
Go to the Guoshu Hall to learn martial arts, and go to Macau to play cards.
Sophie Marceau was impressed by Yang Ye's incredible martial arts and card counting skills.
“If you keep gambling, won’t you even be able to win in the casino?”
"It's just a small gamble to have fun, just for fun!"
......
"The light is ready, the actors are entering!"
"Start to clear the venue, except for the photographers, everyone else Everyone, get out!”
After all the staff left, there were four people left in the gun room.
Yang Ye, Sophie Marceau, director and cinematographer.
Yang Ye was a little embarrassed. He had filmed a lot of intimate scenes, but only kissing scenes.
The most popular ones are with Lin Qingxia in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and with Lin Qingxia in "Terminator".
But that's just what I meant. Lin Qingxia didn't take off her clothes until she clicked.
This time is different, you have to be naked.
It doesn't matter if you strip naked, the key is that there are two men present.
Sophie Marceau didn't care, but looked forward to it.
Yang Ye understands her mood. After filming this scene, she is no longer a girl idol.
The director made a guest appearance and wrote the script himself.
As soon as the camera opened, Yang Ye stopped being embarrassed and started acting seriously.
......
Scene 1:
A door.
Yang Ye opened the door.
There were no lights on in the room, only the light from outside came through the blinds.
The room was very simple, with few furnishings.
Only bed, armchair and table.
Yang Ye said: "I didn't buy any furniture. They already existed, and I kept them."
Sophie Marceau smiled: "I like this house."
The two stopped talking and looked at each other.
"Maybe... I'm starting to fall in love with you!" Yang Ye said seriously.
Sophie Marceau said nothing and looked at the room.
"This house was given to me by my father, and it's called the bachelor suite. It's the custom for the rich Chinese young people here to keep many mistresses."
"You have many mistresses? ”
“Do you like me to have a mistress?”
"Yes!"
Sophie Marceau's answer surprised Yang Ye. He found it very exciting. He said: "I want you now!"
"Come on!"
Sophie Marceau walked towards Yang Ye and walked in front of him. Silently, he lowered his eyes and stopped looking at him.
Yang Ye took off Sophie Marceau’s dress
Yang Ye picked up Sophie Marceau and put her on the bed.
At this time Sophie Marceau took the initiative. She closed her eyes and unbuttoned one button after another.
She looked at Yang Ye's strong body and whispered: "Chinese people are quite beautiful."
She kissed him, grabbed his hands, and put them against her face Up...
...
After they were done, they fell asleep.
Through the light-transmitting blinds, the sun shines on the bed, illuminating a bright red blood stain on the sheets.
......
Scene 2:
Yang Ye woke up, but did not move and lit a cigarette.
Sophie Marceau also woke up and said she wanted to take a shower.
Yang Ye walked over and helped her wash, without using soap, just rubbing it gently with her hands. He said: "Your skin is like that of Asian women, as smooth as rain. Your wrists and ankles are also as slender as theirs. This is quite strange. Can you explain it?"
Sophie Marceau said: "I can't explain it!"
After taking a bath, Yang Ye helped Sophie Marceau put on clothes.
The two were lying on the bed. Sophie Marceau told Yang Ye about her unhappy family and couldn't help crying. Yang Ye held her in his arms to comfort her.
She said slowly: "I have fallen in love with you a long time ago. I will never forget you."
......
The Liang family waved:
The process is similar, the lines have changed slightly and the motivation has changed a lot.
After the two entered the room, they chatted in the same way. The girl asked Liang Jiahui if he had many mistresses.
Liang Jiahui did not answer, but asked: "Do you like it?"
"Yes!" the girl said nonchalantly.
Liang Jiahui felt quite uncomfortable after hearing this.
"So, you are also with other men..."
"I don't know, I have never gone home with another man."
Liang Jiahui hesitated for a while and said: "I'm afraid, I'm afraid I will fall in love with you, let's go!"
He stood up and walked out.
But the girl said: "I don't want you to love me. Just treat me how you usually treat other women."
The Liang family waved: "I know you won't Fall in love with me, I..."
The girl said: "I hope you won't talk so much nonsense, come on!"
The process is omitted, which is similar to Yang Ye's version.
After they finished, they took a shower in the same way, lying on the bed in the same way, cuddling together.
The girl didn’t say anything. The Liang family said: “Did you come here with me because of money?”
The girl said: “I came because I like you. ! ”
The Liang family asked: "If I were a pauper, would you still like me?"
The girl said: "I like you when you are rich, as you are now."
......< br>
The transition scenes interspersed later are similar. They go to a restaurant to eat after the sex. The girl made it clear that she does not like Chinese people and she will go back to France.
But the man said that he would obey the family's order and go back to get married.
However, girls keep looking for men for money.
……
Then the next step is to invite the girl’s family to dinner.
Liang Family Banner:
He was insulted by the girl’s family and he did not dare to resist.
Go back to the room and fuck the girl hard, trying to get your manly dignity back.
......
Yangye version:
He was like a star holding the moon at the banquet. He didn't suffer any grievances and even scared the girl's brother.
After returning to the room, Yang Ye asked Sophie Marceau, when will she return to France?
Sophie Marceau said that after her studies are over.
Yang Ye said he would marry her Chinese fiancée. He is Chinese and Sophie Marceau is white. They cannot be together.
Sophie Marceau said to Yang Ye: "I really hope we get married, I hope we are lovers and get married."
She said: "Sing me a song in Chinese Sing!"
Yang Ye thought for a while and sang softly: "Outside the long pavilion, beside the ancient road, the green grass reaches the sky. The sound of the willow flute is heard in the evening wind, and the sun sets over the mountains beyond the sky. , the good friends are half gone. A ladle of wine is used up, don’t sleep in the cold tonight..."
After singing, Sophie Marceau said: "Take me!"
Yang Ye said: "As soon as you know the date of departure, tell me!"
Start doing it again!
......
Duras's novel does not explain what song the Chinese sing. This paragraph was added by Yang Ye himself.
After singing, Jacques was very satisfied. He said: "Nick, this song is really good. Can you tell me what you mean by singing it?"
Yang Ye explained it again, which made Jacques more I'm so happy because it's so fitting.
……
The sex scenes were not that easy to shoot, and they were not pleasant at all.
You can’t really go there, you have to stop at every turn, and there is a photographer who keeps taking pictures. It’s so uncomfortable.
Sometimes one camera is not enough, so Jean-Jacques will carry the camera and go into battle himself.
So it became two photographers observing Yang Ye and Sophie Marceau.
At this point, French women are really awesome. When three men watch her at the same time, she can still be immersed in her acting.
But this is also a French tradition. French women have liked to be naked since ancient times and often go shopping naked on the street.
Even after entering modern society, people still like fruit and even have to legislate to ban it.
In this tradition, it’s just making a movie, it’s art, it’s really nothing.
She showed off her good figure so openly.
Eighteen-year-old Sophie Marceau has not sagged yet, and her figure is still good, although she is not as good as Adjani.
Sophie Marceau's breasts are larger than Adjani's, but there is a mole on it, which affects the look.
Adjani's waist is thinner than Sophie Marceau's, and the forest is not as lush as Sophie Marceau's, but her hips are more upturned.
After several days of filming, Yang Ye finally couldn't stand it any longer.
"I'm sorry, Sophie, I can't control myself!"
"Yang, me too, love me!"
Yang Ye is the leader. It was purposeful, otherwise he wouldn’t take the initiative to be the male lead, and would have to find Sophie Marceau to be the female lead.
After Sophie Marceau stayed with Yang Ye for several months, she also became very fond of Yang Ye!
During the daytime filming, there was only thunder and no rain, which was a kind of torture for both of them.
So they both decided to complete this matter completely! (End of this chapter)
