A few days after Velena's interview, an interview with Peng Yichen and Yu Jing appeared on the entertainment section of the Los Angeles Times.

Everyone can see between the lines of Peng Yichen and Yu Jing's answers to the questions that they love each other and their expectations for the newborn.

Today's fans of the Star Flag Country have paid great attention to this young director from China.

But only then did they know that the young director was not only married, but was even about to have his first child.

This kind of image of young people who have achieved great success early, who are willing to marry a loved one at a young age, who are extremely attached to their families and wives, and who are extremely looking forward to their children, has not appeared among Hollywood stars for a long time.

To be honest, those bad boys and bad star images are completely tired of movie fans.

Now they like model couples like Peng Yichen and Yu Jing.

Of course, there are many people who say strange things on the Internet.

After all, the people who are racially discriminatory in the Star Banner Country can never be regarded as a very small minority.

Therefore, not everyone is optimistic about this comedy romance movie made by Peng Yichen as a gift for his wife and future children.

Many film critics in Xingqi Country believed: "Peng Yichen, a young Chinese director, is just a child who does what he wants." He treats movies as 'toy gifts' for his wife and children, but this gift may not be suitable for the tastes of the people of Xingqi China. ”

But movie fans don't care whether critics like it or not, since the "911" incident, almost all the warm comedies and romance movies released in the entire North American film market have been sought after by audiences.

Moreover, Peng Yichen's "Beautiful Life" and "Twelve Warriors" have just set off a phenomenal craze in North America, and he is still a very promising director in the eyes of North American movie audiences.

Therefore, most of the fans of the Star Flag Country excitedly left messages in the movie forum:

"At the beginning of the year, I watched Peng's "Beautiful Life", then his "Twelve Warriors", in May, I could see his "Country Teacher", and in August, I could watch his "About Time". Love Peng Yichen so much!!"

The time quickly came to the end of April, and the filming of "About Time" was more than half completed, and the filming progress was unbelievable.

The production cost budget of this movie is 25 million, and Peng Yichen received 8 million from himself, which is very cheap, and he is very grateful to the company's partners for trusting him in "Country Teacher", so this time the salary is only half of the market price.

The position of photographer is Zhao Liansheng's eldest apprentice Zheng Qin, which is also his first film with the title of "first photographer".

Zhao Liansheng was arranged by Peng Yichen to the crew of "Eavesdropping Storm" as a photographer.

After all, the filming of "About Time" is not difficult, and it does not need a master of Zhao Liansheng's level.

On the contrary, in "Eavesdropping Storm", there are many scenes that require Zhao Liansheng's shot.

Of course, in addition to Zheng Qin during the shooting, Peng Yichen will also personally take charge of the camera and shoot part of the shots.

As for the performances of those actors, Peng Yichen requires them to be funny and warm.

In this way, in a laughing and warm atmosphere, the crew spent about ten days to shoot two-thirds of the movie shots.

What is left at the end is all the scenes related to the role of the father in the movie.

The reason why I chose this way of filming is mainly to take care of the actor in the role of my father, Mr. Jin Shijie's schedule.

He has a drama station touring on Bay Island, and although that performance is not profitable, it belongs to Kim Thi-jie's main business.

Acting in movies is just his side job.

This is an actor who has his own insistence and makes Peng Yichen extremely admired.

In a small, somewhat messy room, Kim dressed like an English gentleman and held a ping-pong racket.

Peng Yichen was dressed very young, like a hairy boy who had just graduated from college.

The two of them were talking and playing table tennis.

Around them were the film crew, everyone watching the two of them perform obsessively.

A warm and interesting father-son relationship, after the performances of these two top actors, everyone watched it warm.

What surprised the staff present even more was that Jin Shijie, a little-known actor, actually spoke pure British English.

The line skills are even better, which is unbelievable.

When he speaks, he is not hurried, but he has a charm that makes people fascinated.

On the left hand side of the two of them, Zheng Qin was carrying the camera, and the lighting engineer and recording engineer were all from the Star Flag Country, and everyone was doing their own work seriously.

In the scene of a comedy movie, you have to be able to relax, and everyone has to joke and joke with each other without any scruples.

These days, Peng Yichen is on the set, and the most he says is: "Let go of yourself, let go of yourself! This is not listening to a symphony." We want sweetness, it's funny!"

The few European and American actors he chose are very open-minded, such as Lee Asquith, who plays the actor's good friend - Roy, is a very funny actor.

He was a pistachio that everyone loved on the set.

Just when Peng Yichen and Jin Shijie were playing hi, suddenly the table tennis ball in their hands was hit in the face of the cameraman Zheng Qin on the side by Jin Shijie.

Zheng Qin was so frightened that he stepped back and crashed into the gaffer's body, and the gaffer fell on the recorder's body again.

In an instant, everyone on the shooting site, like dominoes, fell to the ground one by one.

This scene is completely over.

Jin Shijie scratched the back of his hand embarrassedly, "That, that, director, I didn't mean to." ”

The appearance of the old naughty boy made Peng Yichen cry even more than he could think.

"Everyone, if you want to laugh, laugh quickly, laugh all at once!"

After Peng Yichen finished speaking, he couldn't help but laugh first.

Then there was a burst of laughter from the audience.

From the moment the first shot was filmed, there were laughs on the set every day.

The number of laughs is almost more than the number of NGs.

This has never happened in the movies shot by Peng Yichen.

Although "Double Treasure Fighting Demons" is easy to laugh in many places, it is still a black humor movie based on horror movies.

"About Time" is completely different, the film has no tense and uncomfortable plot from beginning to end.

On the contrary, there are quite a few interesting and hilarious plots.

Of course, most of the humor in this movie is relatively warm and restrained comedy, and there is nothing overly funny.

Everyone laughed for a while, and when the laughter slowly subsided, Peng Yichen commanded the photography, lighting, and recording to regain his position, and said with a smile: "Okay, let's reshoot this part." ”

Everyone stood in their positions, the camera found a good shooting angle, and the lighting and recording equipment were also in place.

The scene reporter was in front of the camera, and shouted the scene sequence number again, and Peng Yichen shouted: "Action!"

Jin Shijie started to speak again, and Peng Yichen played table tennis with him while listening to the father played by Jin Shijie and talk about his life experience.

When Jin Shijie smashed the ball vigorously at the end, the table tennis ball hit Peng Yichen's side very obediently this time.

According to the requirements of the plot, the protagonist played by Peng Yichen here should not have received this ball and lost this "father-son table tennis match".

But the devil's luck is that when Peng Yichen waved the table tennis racket in his hand indiscriminately, he happened to hit the table tennis ball.

Then the ball flew high and landed on Jin Shijie's case, and after it rebounded, Jin Shijie planned to buckle it again and round this shot back.

Unexpectedly, the ball passed through his ping-pong racket and smashed directly on top of his head.

At this moment, the scene was completely untenable, and everyone burst into laughter.

Peng Yichen smiled and shouted "stop".

He smiled wryly and looked at the table tennis racket in his hand, not knowing what the hell was going on, why he couldn't even shoot such a simple shot.

But looking at the happy crowd at the scene, and then looking at the side of the set, Yu Jing who was smiling and trembling.

I no longer care about the progress of the movie, and I laugh with everyone.

……

Under the gray sky, in a small church, it seems that a wedding is being held.

The groom in a black suit stood inside and waited,

Outside, a bride in a red dress stood.

The background music played was not a wedding march, but a week of excitement about "II.Mondo".

At the entrance of the church and on the lawn a few hundred meters away, two large fans and water sprayers are installed.

A long guide rail was laid that ran from the church door to the awning erected on the lawn.

The camera was mounted on the moving car and aimed at the wedding scene, with Zhao Liansheng standing on the side and his apprentice Zheng Qin sitting in the photographer's seat in the car, using the viewfinder to determine the angle of the lens.

This is the biggest scene in the whole movie, and Peng Yichen asked to shoot a long shot in one go.

Zhao Liansheng was not worried about his apprentice, so he also flew over from Huaxia in person to help his apprentice palm his eyes.

It's a wedding scene in the rain.

In this long shot, Peng Yichen wanted to capture the expressions and demeanors of the groom, bride, relatives and friends and all the guests present.

He wanted to shoot the attitude of facing the accidents and ups and downs in life when everyone was extremely embarrassed in a heavy rain and strong wind, but extremely happy and happy.

This scene plays a vital role in the expression of the connotation of the whole movie and the promotion of the plot.

Everyone knew how important this scene was to the film, so they couldn't afford to lose.

The staff and actors were all in 100% of their spirits, and Peng Yichen wore the groom's groom's dress and nodded with a smile.
