Chapter 1002: Don’t shy away from relatives when promoting talents
“Let me talk about the theme of this movie.” As a director, before starting the filming, Lin Nan told everyone the script as usual.
Although Liu Yifei has read the script many times and written tens of thousands of words of character biographies, she still looked at Lin Nan with bright eyes, with expectation, tenderness and admiration on her face, which was different from Yourong. .
“Marriage Story” is about a divorce and custody battle.
Despite the emotional overtones of the topic, the film does not go that far. The old-fashioned route of similar movies is followed throughout the whole movie without any fierce arguments;
Instead, it uses a very tight plot rhythm to fully display the complex emotions of both parties, especially the woman, such as frustration, anger, and conflict;
But it also has some humor and human concern... The whole movie will be very It is heartwarming and will give the audience a high sense of emotional involvement.
A brief summary is that this movie describes a couple who are very stubborn and willful but don’t know it. Their relationship may be about to end, but for the sake of their children, they are also out of Due to their own rational considerations, both of them are struggling, struggling painfully, trying hard to re-establish their elegance and generosity towards each other..."
Ning Hao shook his head and joked:
"Tsk, tsk, I heard it. You wrote this script for Yifei. It's so easy for you two to get into the role of the male and female protagonists. You get the result with half the effort... many times more! ”
"Ready?" Lin Nan smiled and nodded, then looked around at all the cast and crew and asked.
"I'm ready." Liu Yifei nodded immediately and responded.
“Let’s get started.”
While Lin Nan was speaking, everyone in the crew immediately got into position to prepare. After checking the camera angle on the monitor, he confidently walked to his own camera position on the field.
Half a minute later, the movie officially started shooting.
""Marriage Story", the first scene, the first shot, preparation for...action!"
On the stage, Liu Yifei partnered with several cast and crew members from the Chinese Opera Theater to start the stage play in the movie Rehearsal;
And Lin Nan was watching carefully with another group of "top" extras in the audience. He is the stage director of the play.
According to the shooting plan, within one day today, all the shots that fell on the drama stage will be finished, and then we will start shooting the "mundane" but extremely "important" life and daily plot.
Just like "Manchester by the Sea", the emotions of the whole movie will progress layer by layer, and the plot will accumulate bit by bit, and finally the atmosphere and emotion will reach the critical point, explode, infiltrate people's hearts... and infinitely infect the audience.
Throughout the morning, on the monitor, the character played by Liu Yifei kept making "mistakes" during the rehearsal of the stage play. She couldn't pronounce some lines and couldn't cry... In the end, Lin Nan, the "stage play director", stepped in , shouted stop.
This scene is actually a manifestation of the near collapse of the couple's relationship. The inner emotions and emotions affect the woman's normal work state... She has a heart disease and a knot in her heart.
Afternoon, rest time.
The overwhelming news about the "carpet star" from Cannes spread back to China, and the entire Internet was instantly in an uproar, with abuses everywhere.
The reason is that the number of Chinese stars who went to the Cannes International Film Festival without being nominated or invited is far more than in previous years, and they all brought accompanying photography and publicity teams;
These people's crazy "censorship" of various official professional film events has seriously affected the normal holding of those film events, and even led to frequent "accidents" and even "paralysis" on site.
No, even the foreign media can't stand it anymore. They are ridiculing and ridiculing in the reports on the Internet... This is really a shame for being put on the international stage, and a shame for the entire Chinese film industry!
As the most well-known international actress in the Chinese film industry, Gong Li was blocked by a group of foreign media reporters, asking her opinions on some mainland "carpet stars".
Let me tell you, although this person has changed his nationality, his stance is very stable and he never stabs anyone in the back.
After answering, it seems that he has a high emotional intelligence. He has smoothed things over for a group of people and gained respect from the Chinese film industry:
"Every actor is qualified to come to the International Film Festival to see it. Without being there in person, you can't feel the huge sense of belonging and longing to be an actor. If you come to Cannes with reverence, I think it's okay. , it depends on their goals..."
In the afternoon, when all the scenes of the Chinese drama were completed and the crew was preparing to evacuate, Lin Nan was still complaining to Ning Hao.
“The current batch of red carpet artists are getting worse and worse. They are not as good as the big beauties back then.
Fan Bingbing was all trying to ‘promote Chinese style’ As for the slogan, the dresses are always made of ink paintings or other Chinese elements. Looking at this group of people now, they don’t know how to dress on the red carpet, they just wear it and they don’t know how to adapt at all.”
< br>“Fan Bingbing doesn’t even attend red carpets anymore. She is also the Best Actress in Tokyo, so there is still no shortage of invitations.”
Lin Nan held Liu Yifei's hand, and Ning Hao, surrounded by a group of staff, walked out of the drama auditorium and passed through the sea of people... After meeting several school leaders of the Chinese Theater Company, they immediately Just got in the car and left.
The night scene was not shot on the first day. Liu Yifei still wanted to go back and read the script again. After all, she had some thoughts after the actual shooting.
……
Nearly a month has passed since Wu Gan led the team abroad.
In the evening, after the time difference, this guy made a video call back; immediately, several producers started a "video conference", and Lin Nan held it together for Liu Yifei.
Good guy, in less than a month, Director Wu, who was still a little "white and tender" when he went abroad, turned into a pure rough man, tanned but strong.
"It will take half a month at most, and I can start the filming directly here. After the foreign scenes are completely filmed, I will go back to deal with the little domestic drama."
Wu You were leaning there carelessly, staring at the computer screen, obviously very energetic.
"Save some money, don't overspend. At a cost of 200 million, this is the highest-invested military-themed movie in China!"
Wang Changtian was holding the milk, with lingering fears. quipped.
"Don't worry, Director Wang, I will never ask for additional investment during the five-month shooting period." Even Wu Dan himself felt a little embarrassed.
For more than half an hour, Lin Nan listened to "Leng Feng" describe the environment in Africa in one word: difficult!
Had it not been for the escort from the embassy and officials there, the foreign crew would not have been able to make it in the local area. Of course, these are Wu Gan's own relationships and the relationships with the army.
The next day, when Liu Yifei and Lin Nan entered work mode, their biological clocks had been adjusted to around six o'clock in the morning.
The two got up early and washed up, then went straight to the set.
Today's scenes are daily life scenes, and young actors under the age of four will also appear. Yue Jun originally said they were looking for a little boy, but in the end they found a little girl who looked like a porcelain doll for no apparent reason.
But as a child, it doesn’t matter. Furthermore, after cutting my hair short, I couldn’t tell whether she was a boy or a girl at first glance, but she looked very cute anyway.
When Lin Nan and Liu Yifei arrived at the set, what a surprise! Ning Hao was here again!
“I said, you are really busy all day, so you come to work for me for free?”
"Yes, idle time is idle, and you're not happy with it anymore. The projects currently being accepted by Bad Monkey do not require my intervention. I think it is more comfortable for the crew. In addition, in my current schedule, the one closest to me is It will happen at the beginning of next month."
Ning Hao sat on the chair and said with a smile.
"What about sister? She doesn't care about you?" Liu Yifei asked curiously while doing makeup.
"Talk about me? She takes care of her son all day long. He is only a little over 7 years old and has been arranged for various advanced interest classes."
"Well, he is indeed a family man. The only son who wants to inherit the inheritance.”
Lin Nan made a joke, and everyone in the dressing room couldn't help laughing.
“Screw you, our family is not as rich as yours!” Ning Hao laughed and cursed angrily.
"Uncle..."
Suddenly, a soft voice sounded, and everyone immediately looked towards the door after hearing the sound.
I saw Yue Jun walking in with a smile on his face, holding the hand of a little girl;
The "uncle" just now was called by the porcelain doll. It has a small and delicate face with a fair face, big, watery eyes, and short ear-length hair.
"Director Yue, are you promoting talents without avoiding relatives?"
Before Lin Nan and Liu Yifei could react from their shock, Ning Hao had already started joking.
"Is this your niece?"
Lin Nan looked at Yue Jun and asked, the latter had never said this before.
"Well, Director Lin, this is my cousin's child. Yaya, call someone."
Yue Jun shook the little hand he was holding and said softly. He did have selfish motives, but he was also aboveboard.
"Sister, brother...uncle?"
The little girl obviously had a good tutor, and she greeted everyone one by one; she was just a little scared when she saw Ning Hao. Who makes Director Ning not like him? There are good people.
This string of titles was shouted out, and everyone in the dressing room couldn't help but laugh. Anyway, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei bent over with smiles, while Ning Hao had a dark face.
"You have to call me aunt, call him uncle. As for the fierce-looking one, you can call him uncle, hehe..."
Liu Yifei stood up and waved to the little girl. She was really I can't live without laughing.
"Uncle? Sister..."
The little girl looked up at Yue Jun, and after getting a look of approval, she walked towards Liu Yifei with her little arms and legs.
“What is this?” Ning Hao complained to Lin Nan.
"Director Ning, you have to accept reality. Also, let me tell you something." Lin Nan came to Ning Hao's side.
“What’s the matter?”
“I originally wanted your boy to play the role, but then I thought about it, he looks too much like you. Fei is totally inappropriate! Haha..."
"It's your uncle!" Ning Hao lowered his voice and cursed. After all, there were children present.
Looking at Liu Yifei again, she was touching Yue Jun’s niece’s head with a smile on her face and teaching:
"Next on the set, you will play my daughter, and that uncle will play your father. Do you know what acting is?"
Looking at Liu Yifei, Yaya nodded seriously, "My uncle taught me . "
As she spoke, the little girl couldn't help but look back at Yue Jun. Her expression instantly became more at ease, and she also had a smile on her face, which was a sense of security.
"Well, that's really smart. I'll take you to eat delicious food for lunch..."
"Director Lin, if you want to find other young actors, your parents will have to look after them on the set. It's better for me to put them in my own house Isn’t this more appropriate to bring my niece?”
Hearing what Yue Jun said, Lin Nan had to admit that it made sense.
"Yes, that's the truth."
