Chapter 452: Love
The filming of the crew of "Rejuvenation" in Lop Nur only took four days, after all, there were no scenes.
The highlight is the speech, in fact, the first shooting was enough to meet Li Qian's expectations, but Mr. Li Xuejian was more nervous than anyone else about this shooting, and waited until it was almost dark, and his throat was about to smoke and he couldn't roar.
Li Qian did not stop such a "willful" behavior, this is the biggest shame in his life for him, and this is also the only opportunity to wash away the shame in more than ten years, Li Qian can understand.
After losing weight for more than half a month, he came to the Great Gobi Desert and endured more than half a month of wind and sun, just for this opportunity.
The speech scene was filmed for an afternoon, and thanks to the order of the army, it was not so easy to change the group performance.
The plot of the mushroom egg, the rest is an indoor drama, giving the scientists some shots from the perspective of the male protagonist.
Difficulties, disappointments, pains, hopes, exhilaration, successes......
The fast-paced shots will show the spirit of the scientists who used the abacus to shoot the first mushroom egg on the big screen one by one on the big screen.
These are chamber plays, and dozens of actors from various troupes are found to make cameos.
The actors in the repertory troupe are most suitable for playing this kind of supporting role with a distinct personality.
Drama performance and film performance are two concepts, a good drama actor is not necessarily good at playing the leading role in a movie, and even if you have not acted in a film and television drama and have been acting in a drama, there is a high probability that you will not be able to play the leading role in a movie.
But the supporting roles are different, there are few supporting roles, for ordinary film and television actors, there are few scenes, and the supporting roles are not important, they are not easy to act, and they are not brilliant to act.
But drama actors, on the contrary, are most suitable for this kind of supporting role with few scenes, which is determined by the performance characteristics of the drama.
After leaving Xinjiang, Li Qian went to Xiangjiang, and he was also ready to take pictures of the flag-raising ceremony of Xiangjiang's return.
In fact, Li Qian originally wanted to join a scene in the Xiangjiang film industry in the eighties and nineties, and invited Cheng Long, Li Lianjie, Zhou Yanfa, Zhou Xingchi, and Liu Dehua to make a cameo, after all, it was a glorious history.
However, the space is limited, and it is now 150 minutes, and in the film and television industry, it is enough to have "Journey to the West" as a representative.
The key thing is that it is easy to have a feeling of style separation, the whole movie is to go back to history in a love, go through one era after another, Xiangjiang in the eighties and nineties, and the overall style does not match.
There were three exterior scenes in half a month, and the shooting has just started, so it's not suitable for too much fatigue, and it's still growing in the back, so it should be gradual.
......
On October 23rd, the crew returned to the magic capital and began to shoot the scene where the actor came back for the first time after leaving the magic capital.
It also happened that "Beijing Meets Seattle" was also released for 25 days, and after Tong Liya followed the crew to promote for half a month, she took a break for ten days, and just officially joined the group.
After the outbreak of the National Day holiday, the movie is about to be drawn, and the total box office is fixed at 740 million, failing to break through the 800 million mark.
In the past year, several movies have been more than 700 million, and 800 million seems to have become a hurdle, and it is impossible to get over it, and there is a fault line between 800 million and 1 billion.
There are no other movies in October, but there is a high-quality costume historical movie "Da Ming Tribulation", which should be a rare rigorous boutique costume movie this year.
However, there is no commerciality, and there is nothing to watch, so there is no need to talk about the box office, and no one goes to see it.
The whole movie is made with a kind of integrity, and it shows the charm and the big theme of a family and country.
The 4 million box office of this movie is less than one-third of the cost, and it has also attracted many filmmakers, film critics, and professional audiences to criticize today's film market.
Bad movies often cost tens of millions, hundreds of millions, or even hundreds of millions, but no one cares about good movies.
"Little Times" was pulled out and whipped again.
Looking at this movement on the Internet, Li Qian shook his head, "This is the market." ”
Qi Yukun frowned, let out a long sigh, and looked at Li Qian with a puzzled face, "Isn't there a way to change this situation, is there really no way for such a good movie to make the audience enter the cinema?"
Before, he directed "Heart Labyrinth", which also faced such a situation, but it was slightly better, selling more than 100 million.
This is Li Qian helped him publicize it and posted a Weibo.
The applause is not popular, the word of mouth is very good, and there are praises everywhere, but the box office is coldly in front of you.
"The market is so cruel, there is no way to do it, unless you properly add something that the audience is interested in. ”
Li Qian shook his head, "Hollywood can also attract audiences through the influence of the Oscars and Golden Globe Awards, and TV, Internet on-demand, and DVD rental and sales are also an income, but there are none of them in China." ”
Piracy can be seen everywhere on the Internet, and even if someone buys a DVD, they don't know whether they are buying a genuine version or a pirated version.
As for attracting the audience through awards and nominations, even if the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers are ignored, every year is not as good as a year, and the more they do it, they go back more and more, and it doesn't add much to winning the award.
The feelings of family and country, loyal and righteous people, can also be filmed relatively "good-looking" in a serious and serious situation, but many aspiring directors don't shoot like this, and they don't want to do anything at the box office from beginning to end.
There's no way around it, there's no solution.
"However, it's not easy to make this kind of subject matter highly watchable. Qi Yukun said again.
"The boss's "Rejuvenation" does not also have a sense of history, but with the addition of the main line of reverse growth of love, it is simply a perfect match, and those movies with serious themes can actually be referred to. Su Lun said.
"Director Su is right. ”
Chen Kun next to him interjected, "No wonder I always feel that my character is a little weird in many plots, especially the previous three exterior scenes, as if it has nothing to do with me as the protagonist, saying that it is the protagonist, more like a bystander." ”
"It's not enough time, there's no way, and going back to history is like this, for more than 70 years, the participation is too strong, and it can't be done at all, so you have to make a TV series to do it. ”
Li Qian smiled, "You are the real actor in the main line, and you will be the main story for a period of time after that." ”
But looking at the filming process, it will indeed be a little strange, the actor doesn't seem to be the most important, but the historical characters and events in each plot are the protagonists in that paragraph.
With so many things for more than 70 years, the actor can only be a bystander, witnessing, experiencing, and being influenced along the way.
For example, Li Xuejian's speech of making mushroom eggs not only made the audience excited, but also affected the male protagonist in the movie.
Suffering, struggle, hardship, excitement, joy, pride, in the growth of reverse growth, experienced all this, and affected his feelings for his biological father and the heroine.
"Alright, get ready. Li Qian slapped his face, and sighed with emotion, he had to continue to work.
asked Chen Kun to touch up his makeup, and when he came back for the first time, it was in the late sixties, at the age of 25.
That is, the appearance of almost fifty years old, a watershed, and at this time, Chen Kun's live performance will begin.
After all, if you are still an old man, you really don't match the heroine.
"Yaya, you still need a little youthful breath at this time. Li Qian told Tong Liya about the play.
"Isn't that just acting in your true colors, simple. Tong Liya smiled confidently.
"True colors?" Li Qian slapped his forehead with his palm, "You were about the same three years ago." ”
Tong Liya immediately glared at Li Qian and looked straight at Li Qian, "You say I'm not young enough?"
Li Qian grabbed the little hand that was about to be close to his waist, "You're thirty, still young? ”
As soon as he finished speaking, seeing that Tong Liya's face was becoming more and more dissatisfied, Li Qian hurriedly explained, "I mean you are becoming more and more mature and beautiful.......
Tong Liya let Li Qian go, slapped Li Qian's arm a few times with both hands angrily, and said angrily, "Don't say I'm thirty!"
Li Qian hurriedly shut up, not mentioning age, and said with a smile, "Yaya, you know, you are the most perfect candidate for this heroine." ”
"Hmph. Tong Liya was unmoved by Li Qian's flattery.
"You see, the most touching part of this love scene is that when the actor comes back for the second time, the two of them are together in the best golden age of their lives, the most important thing is this paragraph, now only you can play this best golden age stage, and it is also the time when a woman is the most attractive. ”
"No truth!" Tong Liya glanced at Li Qian with beautiful eyes, smiled again, stopped paying attention to Li Qian, and turned around to touch up her makeup.
......
Today's filming is a scene where the male protagonist returns to the nursing home to visit his adoptive mother after nearly 20 years, and happens to meet the heroine.
There are no lines, and when she saw many childhood friends who she hadn't seen, Tong Liya was a little stunned at first, and then trotted forward with surprise on her face.
And Chen Kun praised from the bottom of his heart, "After so many years, you have grown up, you are so beautiful." ”
Tong Liya's joy when she saw her friend immediately changed a little, and there was a hint of blame on the smile on her face, as if she was angry and coquettish, "Why didn't you write to me later." ”
This change comes from the praise of the opposite sex for their appearance, which brings the relationship between the two parties closer, and suddenly it is between good friends and ambiguity.
If you don't have this compliment, even if you ask him why he didn't write a letter, it would be a joking blame at best, not a coquettish blame.
But.
"Click!"
The first time I didn't, I did it all over again.
At this time, the heroine, that is, in her twenties, is still immature, so she will be curious because of the letters that the hero wrote to him, the sea and the war, and a series of things, because of this curiosity, she has a good feeling, so she confesses impulsively.
There are often TV series in which the hero and heroine are dismissive of each other at first, but because of something, they suddenly become curious, and they fall into it when they are curious.
This is characteristic of youth, easy to like a person.
Of course, the effect of alcohol is also needed, after all, although the actor has such a handsome face as Chen Kun at this time, he is finally close to fifty.
In the original version, when the heroine confessed, she said that she had been with older people.
This is no problem in Hollywood movies, but in China, if it was filmed like this, it would still be in that era, Li Qian could be sprayed to death.
In the original version, the heroine took the initiative to confess to a middle-aged handsome uncle, age is not a problem, after all, even older people have been together.
Li Qian must have deleted this line here, her confession came from two little guesses when she was a child, and the letters sent to her over the years caused curiosity.
After meeting, I went to dinner and watched a classical dance performance, the heroine was dancing, and the male protagonist had learned piano from an old man in a nursing home.
Music, dance, natural harmony.
Coupled with the fact that he ate and drank some wine, he was not mature enough, so it was logical to confess.
In the afternoon and evening, I filmed the scene of the two watching singing and dancing, in the late 60s and almost 70s, there were also entertainment activities in the magic capital during that period.
chose classical dance, not ballet, mainly because Tong Liya was more suitable for classical dance, and there was also domestic ballet in that era, and it was the foundation stage of the domestic ballet career at that time.
In the magic capital Chedun Film and Television City, today also ushered in the filming of the last night scene of the night.
There is a river in the film and television city, and there is a pavilion on the bank of the river, where the confession scene is filmed.
Before filming, shoot a dancing scene.
This is Tong Liya's specialty, in the dark night, only the bright moon hanging high in the sky, and the river can bring a little light, and the background is a little foggy, accompanied by Tong Liyapan's dancing posture full of charm and temptation, there is more flavor.
After more than a minute of dancing, Tong Liya Shi Ran came to Chen Kun, leaned on the bench in the pavilion, supported the back of the bench, looked at Chen Kun standing outside, and told about his life in the dance troupe.
"You know, our dance troupe looks very beautiful, but it's actually not that good, a lot of my sisters come to me all day long, and there are many people who have pursued me. ”
Tong Liya asked softly, "Are you going to be angry?"
Chen Kun was not angry, and said as a matter of course, "You are so beautiful, there must be many people who pursue you." ”
Tong Liya smiled and leaned over to kiss Chen Kun, but Chen Kun held her shoulder.
Tong Liya was stunned for a moment, and with the strength of the wine, she smiled a little narrowly, and leaned forward again.
Chen Kun still held her shoulder, and Tong Liya stayed still.
"Don't do that. Chen Kun said softly.
"You don't like me?" Tong Liya's voice gradually became a little cold.
"Of course I like you, I've been thinking about you for the past twenty years. ”
"Am I not pretty enough?"
"You're the most beautiful girl I've ever seen, but everyone only gets one chance to be young. Chen Kun still had that gentle voice.
He could see that she was a momentary curiosity and an urge to drink, this was the impulse of youth.
"I don't think you're old, and I'm getting old. ”
"Not today. Chen Kun still insisted on not accepting it, he had experienced life and death, he had a better understanding of life, and he didn't want them to be together because of a momentary impulse.
And compared to the other party's impulsiveness, he was not so easy to accept for a while, the transformation from a pure little girl to an emotional woman.
Talk about feelings first and then be together.
Moreover, the huge gap in body is also a factor, just like the heroine in her fifties, it is difficult to face the twenty-year-old male protagonist, and she always wants to give the best to each other, this is love.
