Chapter 237: Character Analysis and Filming
What kind of person is Chen Handong? In terms of his identity, he is a native of Beijing, and his background is very good, his father is a high-ranking official, although the specific position is not specified in the script, but it can be inferred that at least a ministerial-level official, and people who have reached this level are really high-ranking officials.
As a child of a high-ranking cadre, Chen Handong has a lot of choices, he can eat and wait for death, he can bully men and women, he can be prodigal, he can use the aura of his father to enter the officialdom, or he can obey the arrangement and live a prosperous life, he is not an ordinary person.
Chen Handong has a frivolous personality, is shallow in learning, and has a rotten life, which can be said to be basically similar to a moth in society, but the reason why he can live an erosive and luxurious life is because he has a strong background, uses his privileges to do smuggling business, and makes a lot of money, so he has the story of Lan Yu.
This person is a very selfish person, he is bisexual, so he plays with both men and women, and he has never taken anyone seriously, in short, he doesn't care about what he can spend money on, he seems to have a clear definition of his life, in fact, he is covering up his inner confusion.
Even for his wife Lin Jingping, who later married home, in fact, he was only because he was old, he needed to marry a wife, and he never really loved each other, it was nothing more than because he had the pressure of inheriting the family to marry her, so he divorced because of Lin Jingping's child, and when he met Lan Yu again, he was really willing to let go of his heart and fall in love with Lan Yu, but unfortunately happiness never stayed, and Lan Yu died.
For this character, the whole film is not only a story spanning ten years, but also a story about a lost, searching, and ultimately lost, for a character like Chen Handong, his complexity and contradiction need to be expressed in a more subtle way.
After the crew gathered, Zhou Bai found that the entire crew was only about a dozen people except for the actors, which was very small, but the people involved were very professional personnel, and the work efficiency was very high.
Before the filming of the first scene, Guan Jingpeng called the crew together for a short meeting, he was more worried about the state of the actors, fortunately, Zhou Bai's preparation was very sufficient, although the time was very short, but he had already eaten the script thoroughly, and Liu Ye was also full of confidence, which made Guan Jingpeng a little relieved.
Speaking of which, Liu Ye's goods can be regarded as having experienced some twists and turns when he can receive "Lan Yu", because Lan Yu must have a very young actor to play, so Daniel Zhang and Guan Jingpeng searched all over Beijing Electric, Chinese Opera and Shangju, including Chen Kun, Tong Dawei, Huang Xiaoming, Lu Yi, etc. have entered Lan Yu's casting range, and Liu Ye was not concerned at that time, Daniel Zhang called him six or seven times, if it were not for Xie Na encouraging him to meet people, this goods were ready to continue to stay.
Even so, Liu Ye was an hour late when he went to see Daniel Zhang, which made Daniel Zhang furious, if it weren't for the fact that Zhang Yongning had already watched Liu Ye's performance in "That Mountain, That Man and That Dog" before, and felt that this child should have a play, and he had been brushed off in minutes.
So Liu Ye was very attentive after receiving the script, he spent more time on the preparation of the role than Zhou Bai, even if it was not yet time for filming, he had already pulled Xie Na over and over again, in order to play this role well, he spent unprecedented effort.
It is very difficult to shoot this movie, because the subject matter is very sensitive, which also involves some sensitive event background, Daniel Zhang Ning hopes to shoot in Beijing, but this film has no way to apply for approval, he came up with a way, concealing from the relevant departments, in the name of shooting advertisements with the staff of Xiangjiang to the capital, fortunately, there are not many places where the movie needs to shoot exterior scenes, most of them are indoor scenes, otherwise it will be more difficult.
The first scene Guan Jingpeng put it in the hotel, and the main filming locations selected by Guan Jingpeng under the leadership of Daniel Zhang were carefully selected, North China Hotel, Friendship Hotel and Agricultural University, but the first scene was placed near the overpass in Dongzhimen.
It happened to be snowing today, and it was the time to shoot this scene, Zhou Bai's current hairstyle didn't need to be changed, Liu Ye also had long hair, and it didn't take long to put on makeup, and it was soon time to start shooting.
Zhou Bai was wearing a long brown coat, a white shirt and tie inside, he had a good mature temperament at the moment, this scene was the second meeting between the two of them in four months after Lan Yu made a deal with Chen Handong.
If strictly calculated, it was the first time Chen Handong saw Lan Yu in the billiard room, but there was no shot of Liu Ye in the audience, all of them were conversations between Chen Handong and Liu Zheng.
"The first scene of "Lan Yu" is the first shot, the first time, it starts!"
Kicking and kicking, Zhou Bai walked up from the bottom of the steps, and when he walked to the roadside newspaper stall, he met Liu Ye, who had just turned around with a bunch of magazines and newspapers in his hand.
"Yo, college student, I thought you couldn't stay up and ran back to your hometown. There was a hint of surprise and surprise in Zhou Bai's tone, and he looked at Liu Ye with a chuckle.
Liu Ye was stunned for a moment, and then there was surprise in his eyes, and he paused for a moment before saying, "I don't give up so easily." The expression on his face was a little embarrassed and ashamed, and there was a hint of other meanings, this expression was very vivid, just right, of course it was difficult for him to calm down when he met his last betrayal.
"I haven't seen you for so long, is it still possible?" Zhou Bai said.
"Four months. The emotion in Liu Ye's eyes flashed, and he said.
"What?" Zhou Bai asked suspiciously.
"Yesterday was just four months. Liu Ye smiled and said, his eyes were a little fluttering, and he looked left and right, this matter is not something to be proud of.
"Oh, yes, yes. Zhou Bai said embarrassedly, and realized that this time was four months after that night.
"You're ...... today"
"You ......"
After a moment of silence, the two of them spoke at the same time, and they were not familiar with each other now.
"What?" Zhou Bai asked.
"You speak first. Liu Ye said.
"Uh, cough, it's nothing, I left you a phone number last time, just to let you come to me. Zhou Bai glanced at Liu Ye, looked elsewhere, and then laughed, his eyes were a little ambiguous, and his reaction at the moment was just right.
"I didn't find it when I did the laundry last time, but I remembered it when I was drying the clothes, uh, I didn't owe any money, and the note was long gone. Liu Ye explained.
Zhou Bai chuckled, then relaxed a little, and said, "Liu Zheng, you kid is very weird......
Liu Ye glanced at Zhou Bai and smiled shyly, the temperament of the little sufferer was highlighted, weak.
"Click!" Guan Jingpeng shouted, and walked over.
"You didn't smile right, you looked wrong, you looked like a woman, right? Gay is not a woman, you don't need to play yourself as a woman, you know? If you replace this feeling with a pattern of getting along between men and women, it's not right, it looks very awkward, it should be a natural feeling, not artificial. ”
Guan Jingpeng pulled Liu Ye over, and then told him a paragraph, Liu Ye's performance was very good in the front, but he got stuck as soon as he got here, many people's misunderstanding of comrades is like this, a man becomes like a woman, of course it will be awkward, the feminine temperament should be a natural thing, and the same is true for the mode of getting along between comrades.
Liu Ye was a little stunned, he nodded as if he didn't understand and said, "I'll try again." ”
