Chapter 363: The road is long and obstructive, do not disturb if you are not sincere (seven watches)
The photography work was ready, the lighting board and everything had been set up, and the lights were turned on, and when Hu Yifei walked in, he saw Fan Wei in a nightgown chatting and laughing with Ge You and Liu Yan.
"Let's get started, let's go through the warm-up first."
Hu Yifei shouted, and attracted the attention of the audience. The conversation and laughter stopped, everyone entered the working state, and even the pace of the staff couldn't help but speed up a lot.
This is the momentum of a great director, doing nothing, a light sentence can mobilize the atmosphere of the audience.
Hu Yifei found that he was indeed more suitable for being behind the scenes.
This film is about Ge You's marriage, meeting the objects one by one, and then putting each small piece together, with beautiful scenery, Hangzhou Xixi, Hokkaido, etc......
If you follow the setting of the original movie, Hu Yifei can only feel that the director and screenwriter are lazy, all kinds of road movies, one by one. …… Does this mean that the screenwriter can no longer write a story that can be told for two hours, so he splits the story into fragments one after another. It's so hard to get the audience to laugh every 5 seconds for two hours, so you turn the movie into n skits and then implement those jokes in the skits?
In the original film, the director is the same, he has no ability, possibly or the energy to dig out the charm of a certain actor, so he gives large and large shots to intoxicating scenery.
The scenery is indeed intoxicating, but this intoxicating scenery does not make the story so moving, it only makes those who are already materialistic more hungry. Therefore, such a movie has become a Chinese New Year movie, although it is also a big hit, but in terms of word-of-mouth, it can only be regarded as reluctant.
Hu Yifei has a lot of work to do, if the original film has a central idea, it can barely be defined as a "heart-warming love film": "Returning to the true nature is happiness." Love is fake, happiness is real! ”
But the story is a little scattered, which makes many scenes of the original movie seem sickly.
For example, in the original version, Ge You talked about his past and cried, and his friend Wu Sang sang and cried when he drove away alone.
Hu Yifei is also a singer, and he once experienced the feeling of singing softly until he trembled. Some scenes have not yet been foreshadowed, and they are eager to impress a numb audience like me, and they can only sink into the sea. are all comedians, Zhao Bensan seems to be able to afford the style of the drama and the title of comedian. Ge You is different, thanks to Feng Xiaogang's years of cultivation, Ge You may be away from the track of the drama forever, and after filming "Night Banquet", it will definitely be exposed.
Hu Yifei believes that Uncle Ge is serious, but the audience will no longer be serious about the words he reads. Because he can only be an image full of jokes, as if his sudden seriousness is to predict the appearance of the next big joke......
So this time, there must be a subtle operation on the whole story, first of all, in the artistic atmosphere of the whole film, you can't follow the scenery.
Even if you shoot beautiful scenery and beautiful women, you must have a style from beginning to end.
First of all, you have to understand what kind of man Qin Fen is, he can think of Xiaobai when he drinks too much, or you have that dream when you are far abroad. The pain is engraved in my heart, but life still has to be happy. Therefore, when he met a salesman who cheated on marriage, he pushed the boat smoothly, and when he saw a bearded priest, he couldn't stop talking and cried.
He doesn't look very serious. It's a bit of a lot, but it's not very reliable. There are many people who talk about being funny, but few people who talk about themselves.
"Xiaoxiao" sat in the back seat of the car, saw such a smooth and persistent head in front of him, and the fields outside the window were speeding away, what did he think in his heart? In fact, you see, we have walked such a long road together, and the future is bleak, and the road is long and obstructive.
Life is short, let's be together, it's a sustenance. Just give yourself what you want. only to find that under those prodigal appearances, there is an honest heart that is unwilling to express.
Life is short, so be it.
The road is long and blocked, do not disturb if you are not sincere!
Then the whole film must be filled with a kind of dojo and resistance, life is short, and the factor of not disturbing if you are not honest is in it.
……
Hu Yifei competed with art director Zhang Shuping, photographer Du Kefeng, assistant director Ning Hao and others for a long time on this issue before finally making a definition. The plot can't be connected, so connect it from the emotional route. Life always has to go through many roads and meet many people, but personal experience will not change, and the emotional route is the key to changing things.
"Stop!"
When Hu Yifei was shooting while thinking about the problem, he casually shouted the first "NG!" ”
Everyone immediately turned around, and Liu Yan looked at Hu Yifei's eyes, knowing that something was wrong with her, and she suddenly became nervous.
Hu Yifei said with a smile: "Liu Yan, your smile can be a little easier, bow your head and be shy, and the corners of your mouth are slightly upturned." There is a poem that says: "The most is the gentleness of the bowed head, just like the shyness of the water lotus", right? He asked the people around him uncertainly.
Uncle Ge thought for a while, nodded and said, "It seems to be this sentence, Xu Zhimo's poem." ”
"That's right. You are not a water lotus, you are a bewitching and sexy begonia flower. Remember, don't be nervous, and don't squirm your butt too deliberately when you walk. Can you imagine a melodious saxophone playing in the room and a symphony all the time, and you're wearing high heels. ”
"Okay, Director, I'll remember."
Hu Yifei whispered to Du Kefeng again, and said, "Du, remember to give a close-up, from the buttocks up." ”
Christopher Doyle understood, "Wait a minute, I'm going to adjust the lights." The light on site is not very good, and it will take time to retest. ”
"Feel free to do so, let's go through it again and practice."
Hong Kong media said: Christopher Doyle has a pair of eyes that are born to be a photographer, high-intensity work rhythm and professionalism, the righteousness and temperament of oriental buddies, the straightforwardness of white-skinned genes, and the unhesitation and unreliability in nature, which form a strange combination in Christopher Doyle.
This is perhaps too much.
But Christopher Doyle's fame for so many years has all been forged with a real movie, which is genuine.
Christopher Doyle's perfectionist tendencies prompted him to shoot dreamlike shots, and he was even better at romance films.
The camera movement can be called a Ling Bo microstep, and this quality, combined with the uniqueness of the color tone, has created the eye-catching, mysterious, and desirable image of old Shanghai in "In the Mood for Love". In contrast to the red and brown colors in "In the Mood for Love", he boldly used the golden yellow of the sunset in "Little Crazy Flowers of the End". If this kind of tone is too literary and artistic, then the outstanding shot in "Hero" that makes Jet Li in black stand out in a group of people in black shows that Christopher Doyle's talent is not a flash of inspiration after drinking.
There is also Zhang Shuping, not to mention ability. At least a few character costumes he provided, Hu Yifei didn't like it. And from the room props on the shooting site, color selection, accessories, etc., they are also extremely exquisite, no worse than "Inception".
This time, he invited all the team of the King of Sunglasses, and he worked hard.
Hu Yifei knows that this time "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb" wants to go further on the basis of the previous work, and he will probably have to rely on these two talents. (To be continued.) )
