Chapter 257: Drama Seminar
Zhang Guoli, who plays the father of Morning Glory "Huang Ama", and the mother of Morning Glory is "temperament actor" Jiang Wenli. plays Song Myung-hee's father, "Korean actor" Choi Min-sik, and Song Myung-hee's mother, "Korean National Mother" Kim Hae-sook.
The role of a deserter simply pulled Huang Bo to make up the numbers, anyway, he has a bitter gourd face.
The role of quintuplets is quite joyful, Chen Tiandu looked around, and finally found the comedy genius Chen Peisi who was expelled from the door wall by CCTV. China's sketches don't look at Uncle Benshan is very popular now, at the beginning, everyone still watched Zhao Lirong and Chen Peisi to cultivate the audience, Chen Peisi is now dedicated to drama, and he is about to fade out of the entertainment industry, where should he not be when he receives Chen Tiandu's invitation.
The man who drinks at the food stall simply makes a cameo appearance with a few crew members, but there is a role of "blind date man", Chen Tiandu called Andy Lau, who was busy, and asked, "Brother Hua, I have a role, there is only one shot, can I come to make a cameo?" Andy Lau was filming, and said casually: "When, call me when filming starts!" "That's it.
So there is another "friendship cameo in Andy Lau" in the cast.
Even the cameo lineup is so strong, fans can't wait even more.
……
As one of the four Asian tigers, Koreans are very willing to watch movies, and it is a big box office in Asia, and in the years after 2000, it has been the second largest box office in Asia after Japan. Even ten years later, it is only ranked behind China, Japan, and India, and is firmly among the four largest box offices in Asia.
But China's population is more than twenty times that of South Korea, and it is only a small country with a population of no more than 50 million. But it can create such a strong box office potential of Zào. The horror of the film market can be imagined.
Chinese films. Especially for Hong Kong films, the main box office is South Korea, Japan and Southeast Asia, and now the market is basically snatched up by Hollywood, and it is not an overnight thing to regain it. But no matter what, the road has to be taken step by step, Chen Tian doesn't want to flaunt himself as too great, and talk about what to lead Chinese films to sweep Asia, Europe, America, Africa and Latin America. But I hope that my personal influence can sweep the world. As long as the influence is established, there is no need to bother to knock on the door of the local market when making movies in the future, but distributors from all over the world take the initiative to find the door.
In fact, he has done it now, and all that remains is to consolidate his position. "My Sassy Girlfriend" can be filmed or not, if it is not filmed, it will make some people sad and sad, and it will also make the world one less comedy masterpiece.
After filming, he will further expand the influence of his film in South Korea.
Brief introduction to the Matrix - Matchless Company in a steady stream. Thousands of resumes pile up every day. In just one week, 18,000 resumes were accumulated. Are there so many netizens in China now? Not everyone will vote for one. Chen Tiandu saw the mountains of Wen Jiàn, that is, the head was big.
There is no way, the whole company, including the newcomers Huang Bo, Ning Hao, Sun Honglei, and the original four employees, eight people came to the preliminary review. Excluding some guys who are simply trying their luck, if they have sound information about the photos, they will be reviewed and sent to Chen Tiandu for a detailed review.
Chen Tiandu took Niu Yingying around the streets of the Beijing Hutong every day, choosing scenes suitable for filming "My Sassy Girlfriend".
The members of the film crew have all been in place, Jun Ji-hyun, Jang Guoli, Jiang Wenli, Choi Min-sik, Kim Hae-sook, Chen Peisi and others have all gathered in Beijing to study the script for the first time in the spacious office of the matrix.
This study meeting was presided over by Ning Hao.
Because the actors are unfamiliar and the language is not understood, it is inevitable that it will be a little dull. That's why you need to practice a lot and become proficient as soon as possible. Although most of them do not have direct rivalry with each other. Fortunately, Jun Ji-hyun can act as a regulator, and her pure Chinese also shocked everyone.
Korean actors went to China, and they were all very serious, for fear of losing the face of the Republic of Korea.
Aiman, Ye Jintian, Li Bijun and others also began to get busy, and the meetings continued all day. Banknotes are scattered like water, and exquisite costumes and props are also completed at a rapid speed.
With the cooperation of "Infernal Affairs" for several months, they are very familiar with each other, and they have a tacit understanding when they work together again. Especially after a shared Oscar journey, this collaboration is also full of pride and pride, and naturally enthusiasm.
"The heroine is an urban fashion girl, Gianna has a sweet appearance, and I can design girly makeup for her. How about getting your hair into big curls? Li Bijun said.
Chen Tiandu said: "The background of the early story still belongs to the youth era, and you can have big curls, but what do you think of changing the image in the second half?" ”
"OK, the question now is whether there will be too many costume styles, we have a total of eight looks to be determined. Director, are you sure you need so many costumes to change in the movie? "Another question was raised.
Ye Jintian said: "I think the costume style is different, and it should be designed according to the psychological changes of the protagonist." "Sassy Girlfriend" is not an absurd comedy story, the death of a teenage girl's boyfriend, the loss of love and suicide, the experience of meeting the male protagonist, changes in heart, accepting new friends, parents' opposition, leaving for foreign study, and finally making life choices...... The various shapes should also be changed according to the changes in the heart. The way to express it cannot be strict, and it does not even exist seriously, otherwise it will be an absurd story and lose its watchability. For example, if the story is the Bible, the cover must be a skull of a derivist. ”
The original version of "My Sassy Girlfriend" has many small themes, but one core belongs to "funny with warmth", describing a savage girlfriend who likes to beat people. But the funny plot in the film may seem funny to Koreans, but most of the Chinese audience seems to be unable to laugh, perhaps because of the language barrier.
Therefore, when Chen Tiandu re-edited with the screenwriter, he deliberately added a funny link.
Why is "Sassy Girlfriend" a success? What is its successful experience? The most important thing is not the story, not its core theme, in a way, its core is to teach people to be strong and brave to fall in love.
Song Mingxi's boyfriend died, and she accepted life with the same optimism. Watching her giggle every day, she is actually a very strong person. And in the end, it is the deviant heroine and the male protagonist with a small temperament, which forms a strong contrast with today's society.
Story, characters, graphics, soundtrack...... is a whole movie, if you want the inner wonder to be excavated and appreciated, then you must first do these exposed guesses. And most ordinary viewers will not study the inside, they will only say "very insightful", in fact, those feelings are just familiar to everyone, and they can say a bunch of things casually.
What the movie has to do is how to interpret and package this simple sentence, so that the audience can "feel it very easily" after watching it. The original work deliberately uses words to express the first half and the second half, which is definitely not done in Chen Tiandu's movie. Even if you want to remind you that the style has changed, you will be reminded with lenses, colors, and music.
This is the charm of the movie, this is also the role and ability of the director, what ideas and thoughts you want to tell, don't talk about it directly, everything must be done quietly, through the guò story, characters, do a good job of music, editing, etc., this can become a classic movie.
The story of "Sassy Girlfriend" is not complicated and legendary, if a story of a lovelorn looking for love is described by common sense, men are strong and women are weak, it is very untraceable.
What's interesting and cool is that the character of "Savage Girlfriend" is unique, individual, savage and gentle, and her temperament can be seen from the young man in pink clothes who she taught on the tram not to be made. With sharp teeth and sharp mouth, full of alternative charm, when she comes to life on the screen, the audience will watch it with relish in any scene she is in.
So there are two most important aspects of this savage girlfriend's love movie, first, whatever theme you say, don't be strict, be cool; Second, shape and act the savage girlfriend well.
There is also a third point, the actor is too sloppy. Even if you want to act, you can give him a little more personality. Like music, or something. The final group members can also be a little more exaggerated, instead of reuniting at their aunt's blind date. Chen Tiandu's story is slightly different, the heroine always wants to be a screenwriter, and the male protagonist always wants to be a singer and sing a song for the girl in public.
There are also some other small changes that increase the impact and fullness of the plot.
Otherwise, how can a filthy otaku be worthy of such a girlfriend.
Of course, it is also more convenient to promote the movie later.
In terms of "savage girlfriend", Jun Ji-hyun has been preparing for this for more than a year, and Chen Tian is not worried about how she will act; And the first point is not only the responsibility of the actors, but also the service of all aspects of the film, such as the funny and trendy lines in the script, as well as the style and tone of the picture on the film.
The result of Chen Tiandu's discussion with Aiman is still "seasons and sunshine".
"The story of the film tends to be lively and relaxed, and the shooting style is recommended to be shot with bright colors and relaxed and lively style tones." Aiman also joined the discussion in Chinese, which he was not very fluent in. It's really hard for him, a pure Australian uncle has been filming with Chen Tian for several years, forcing him to learn Chinese, it's really not easy.
"You can change a little bit more, describe the changes of the seasons, and describe the hues of the sun through the changes of the seasons." Chen Tiandu was also inspired, and said: "It is spring when we meet, summer when the relationship is gradual, autumn when we meet our parents and are rejected, and winter after leaving. The color of the picture should be like the change of the four seasons, and the light should be soft and textured, which will increase the ornamentality of the picture and make people's hearts warm. ”
"You can give it a try!" Ye Jintian expressed his agreement, "But the style must be sunny, this is inevitable." Even in winter, it is necessary to present the winter sun. ”
All the discussions are ongoing, but some of them will never stop without seeing the camera.
Anyway, it is a small-budget movie, and it is nothing to Chen Tiandu. He couldn't wait, so he just watched the effect while shooting, and then made adjustments.
Even if you do, there will be a lot more discarded shots, and I don't care. (To be continued......)
