The movie "Happy Death Day" is actually not a very innovative work in terms of story structure.

Although this genre appeared relatively late in the history of cinema, classics such as "Groundhog Day", "Lola Run", "Source Code" and so on belong to this category.

This concept called 'time loop' originated in ancient Egypt......

If you want to talk about the specific history, the author can casually come out with about two or three chapters, and then it is estimated that it will be drowned in saliva by angry book friends, so I will skip it here.

In short, there is a basic plot setting that cannot be avoided in this type of film, that is: in an infinite loop of time, the characters will experience the events of a certain period of time in a loop, and at the same time, they have the hope that they can break this cycle. In this cycle, the character acquires certain knowledge and progresses with the memories retained from previous cycles, before eventually exiting the cycle.

So, in fact, the process of time looping becomes the process of solving problems for the characters in the film.

In this kind of movie, the audience sees the whole process of the character's struggle, change, and finally get out of trouble from the perspective of a third person, and whether this character can be accepted and loved by the audience has become the key to the success of this type of movie.

Back to the movie "Happy Death Day", the heroine Xiaocui's character when she appeared was not pleasant, with a hangover, a casual relationship between men and women, a poisonous tongue, and the relationship with her roommates, classmates, and even the professor who cheated on her was limited to superficial interactions, and there was not even a person to confide in...... In other words, before the plot unfolds and the heroine begins to shake her spirits, there are only two reasons that can make the audience stay in the cinema honestly: who is the murderer, and the heroine's appearance.

So the success of the character modeling is basically enough to determine the first impression of the movie on the audience.

Long before sending Lu Yang to the Demon Capital, Li Mo had already told the staff here in advance, asking them to read the script carefully and try to grasp the characteristics of the characters to design the shape.

Later, after Lu Yang confirmed his position as assistant director, Li Mo specially reminded him that he must first confirm the fit between the character modeling and the film environment and the film background......

I don't know how the people who do the modeling understand Li Mo's basic 'demon?? Yan?? Splash?? Anyway, when Li Mo saw Gu Limena just now, she looked like this: her fluffy messy hair was dyed colorful, she was wearing a suspender shirt on her upper body, revealing a large area of snow white on her chest, and her lower body was wearing a pair of denim shorts that were below the hips, and below was a pair of sky-high heels......

To be honest, although this dress is exaggerated, it can be labeled with the word 'bewitching', but if you add makeup on your face, the whole image can only be described in four words.

What are you!!

Big red lips, smoky makeup, and a pair of earrings on his ears that are almost the size of a teacup......

…… Wait, Li Mo only found out at this time that the earrings were actually plastic.

I understand, most of the people who designed the style for Gu Limena should be a loyal fan of Xingye.

Li Mo is very sure that this guy is a patchwork of Zhao Wei's head makeup in "Shaolin Football", and then added Liu Piaopiao's clothes in "The King of Comedy......

How else to play this TM?

Fortunately, judging from the experimental shooting just now, although Lu Yang in this time and space has not yet reached the level of being proficient in a commercial film crew, it is still possible to shoot some empty shots and cutscenes that are not too difficult.

So after sending Lu Yang and the staff of other modules of the crew away, Li Mo directly called Wu Cheng and Mei Na, who were in charge of styling, into the conference room on the set.

said that it was a conference room, but in fact, it was a relatively small practice classroom in the teaching building of the Modu Drama Academy.

"Wu Cheng, tell me, how do you understand the role of Xiao Cui?" As soon as he entered the room, Li Mo didn't even save polite words, and directly called Wu Cheng's name.

Li ...... Director Li, I think Xiaocui is not bad by nature, but she is keen on the pursuit of excitement, likes to be the focus of attention, and is ...... about the relationship between men and women."

Speaking of this, Wu Cheng couldn't help but secretly glance at Gu Limena, who was sitting as quiet as a chicken on the side.

According to rumors in the company, this sister paper and another sister paper in Xijiang are in love with Lord BOSS, and it is said that there is no winner or loser.

However, judging from today's battle, it seems that the person next to him seems to have a better status in the eyes of the boss.

…… Otherwise, Wu Cheng really can't understand it, it's just that the character shape is not satisfied, why does the boss lose his temper so much.

…… Hehe, haven't you seen the characters in the crew of "Chinese Partner", when Fat Di fell into the water, your boss launched a surge, and even Wang Xiaoming and Deng Chao dared to roar directly......

"If you have something to say, what are you talking about?"

After waiting for a long time, the goods didn't finish speaking, and Li Mo felt even more angry.

It's work now, what do you want so much mess for?

“…… And it's also more casual in terms of the relationship between men and women.,All in all, in the traditional sense,It's really not a good girl.。 ”

"It's quite a head," Li Mo nodded, agreeing with what Wu Cheng said just now, "But have you forgotten, or is there any deviation in understanding? The heroine of our movie is not a non-mainstream, not a killer Matt, and not a delivery girl who delivers it to the door!"

"Look at Mina's current ghostly appearance, her current virtue, if it weren't for the work card of our crew, I'm afraid I wouldn't even be able to enter the school gate now, if you walk on the street at night, the people who jump out to ask for the price can at least line up from here all the way to the Huangpu River. ”

"I asked you to pay attention to reading through the script almost two weeks in advance, planning and preparing the style, and you will come up with this kind of thing? Do you think that if I am not in the magic capital, Feng Wen and Lu Yang can let you fool around?"

"We ......" Wu Cheng was speechless.

To be honest, he can't be blamed for this.

The movie "Happy Death Day" was filmed and filmed at the Modu Drama Academy, and the academy still attaches great importance to it.

After all, compared to the other two professional art academies in the imperial capital, the film and television atmosphere here in the magic capital is really not very hot.

Although Hengcheng is not far away, it is a location and a set, not the company headquarters.

When there is really a project, insiders are still used to cooperating with companies in the imperial capital.

Even if Lu Yi, Li Bing, Xu Zheng and a few other star students who can be counted are finally out, they are also used to going to the imperial capital to develop......

Oh, by the way, Hu Ge has always stayed in the south, but he is too deeply entangled with Tang Ren, so he can only mix in the TV drama circle, and no one in the movie circle takes him to play......

After all the calculations, Li Mo is actually the one with the highest achievement and the best development among the students of the Modu Drama Academy in the past ten years.

It's no wonder that Han Sheng, the head of the department, attaches so much importance to Li Mo's shooting.

Among the people sent to the crew, they are basically the old qualifications and top students of the department.

The person in charge of styling Gulmena is a veteran stylist of the academy.

But this guy didn't know which tendon was wrong, so he grabbed the words 'bewitching' and 'splashing' in Li Mo's mission biography, and forcibly broke a who is strong inside Xiaocui into 'killing Matt + non-mainstream + street girl'.

Wu Cheng actually mentioned it to the boss, but he himself was brought out by the boss, and after asking too much, people directly threw down a sentence: "If there is a problem, let Li Mo come to me, and I will bear the ...... if something happens."

Then, Wu Cheng could only retreat......

Originally, there was a hope for what happened, maybe that's what Li Mo meant in the script......

But on the first day of filming, the director's first fire burned on his head, and Wu Cheng's mood can really only be described by the word 'injustice'.

After figuring out what happened, Li Mo waved his hand, saying that he really didn't want to meet with this kind of guy who didn't know the situation, and Wu Cheng could handle it by himself.

"Okay, that's the end of the styling matter, I'll make a version for Mina myself, and you can just revise it according to the script of the day on my basis in the future. ”

"As for other things, I don't want to be too lazy to care!"
