PS: Thank you for the reward ^_^ of Blade and Mango, and recommend another book, the name is - Post-90s Immortal Life Record, the ISBN is 2882441, and friends who are free can go over to help collect it.

What if? The investment of the crew of "Love" this time is also Ye Sumang's biggest contribution.

In this film, he invited Andre, a well-known Hollywood director of musical and dance dramas, to help out, and was responsible for designing the singing and dancing part of the play. invited Jin Peida to compose the lyrics for the whole film with him, as well as Xi Zhongwen and others who were in charge of image design, it can be said that a group of top figures have gathered.

In addition, this is also the first time that Ye Sumang has carried out a large-scale set, and the cost of construction alone is a huge budget, in addition to these, which also includes inviting a well-known dance team to join the dance, the remuneration of several actors, etc., the basic budget given by Zuihou financial staff has reached 60 million yuan, which is only a preliminary budget, and it is estimated that it will increase during the filming of the film.

And after getting the results of this budget, everyone except Ye Sumang was shocked, this kind of investment is completely huge in China.

However, Ye Sumang thinks it is natural that the current form of domestic films is like this, if you want to achieve high box office and high attention, you must make a blockbuster film with huge cost and full of special effects and action, which is what the audience loves.

At this point, it can be seen from Zhang Yimou's "Hero" and "Ambush on All Sides" that Ye Sumang's "No Thieves in the World" last year can also be regarded as half of this form of blockbuster.

And something like "Youth Singing and Dancing Youth" is just a special case, even Ye Sumang didn't expect it to have such a good result.

And this time "What If? Love" Ye Sumang is ready to deal with it according to the model of blockbusters, which can be regarded as an experience for himself, after all, a director cannot always be trapped in a small production for self-satisfaction, and only a large production can more exercise a director's control over the crew.

On July 15, Pearl Chedun Film and Television Base. What if? The crew of "Love" officially settled in.

That night, in a corner of the film and television base, under the dim street lamps, many people were busy, and not far away was an old bus that could only be seen in the nineties, with its lights on. Apparently the bus is in operation.

There was a little drizzle in the sky, and with a gust of cold wind blowing, Ye Sumang couldn't help but shiver, and hurriedly put on the hat of the windbreaker.

This kind of weather doesn't seem to be very good to outsiders, but it is very much in line with the artistic conception that Ye Sumang wants, especially on this drizzly day, watching a drop of water pass across the glass, the quiet atmosphere is simply an excellent environment for shooting thinking shots, so Ye Sumang also temporarily decided to shoot this scene in advance.

The crew prepared very quickly. Because of the director's requirements, this set of shots had to be shot before the rain stopped.

"The cameras are all set up." Ten minutes later, Bai Ge, whose head was already a little wet, ran over to report to Ye Sumang.

"Go and call the actors in place, thank you for your hard work, hold on for a while, and everyone will withdraw after filming this set of shots." Ye Sumang sighed and looked at the sky, expecting that this rain would last a little longer.

"The actors are in place. It's time to start filming, it's time to start shooting!! "The field affairs are under the command of Ye Sumang. called all the actors on the bus, which included the main character in this group of shots - Yuan Hong.

This is a set of shots and the opening scene of the film, which is mainly a self-statement of the 'angel' played by Yuan Hong, and it is also the main theme of the whole film.

In the car, Yuan Hong sat in the pre-arranged haode position, and his image at this time had changed very much from his usual days. With long black hair cut into short pieces, and faint fine lines painted at the corners of his eyes, he looked ten years older, with a pair of retro-style eyes on the bridge of his nose at this time, and the clothes he wore were also in the style of the nineties.

"Remember. For a while, you have to show a thoughtful look, keep your head down, look at the book in your hand, and have that feeling of 'everyone is drunk and I am sober', you know? On the bus, Ye Sumang personally lectured for Yuan Hong.

"I'll try to act." Yuan Hong pursed his lips, very nervous, although his role in this play is very small, but it also requires very high acting skills, which also puts him under a lot of pressure.

"Don't try to, you have to do it." Ye Sumang did not allow the actor to bargain with him during filming.

"Yes!" Yuan Hong looked at Ye Sumang's serious eyes, his body couldn't help but straighten, and he immediately replied.

However, after saying this, he regretted it a little, because he had not yet guessed the feeling of preparation at the director's request, which made him feel very unconfident.

But Ye Sumang couldn't care about this, he patted Yuan Hong's shoulder encouragingly, and motioned for Bai Ge to come in, while he jumped out of the car and walked back to the director's position.

"Start Shooting!!

With Ye Sumang's order, the film also began to shoot.

Everyone's life is like a movie, and they are the protagonists of that movie......

Sometimes they think they are the main characters in someone else's movie, but they may only be a supporting role, with only one shot......

What's more, their clips have long been cut out, and they don't even know it......

Ye Sumang silently recited the narration in his heart, and his eyes were staring at the real-time feedback from the monitor, in which a car slowly drove into the street, and as the camera shifted, everyone in the car appeared in the bus with a static expression.

Some are numb and cold, some open their mouths and roar, some lean on each other, and with the rotation of the camera, Ye Sumang has been silently reading the narration in his heart, constantly controlling the speed of Bai Ge's camera movement.

"Bai Ge, start to give the mother and daughter a shot, six seconds, and then gradually transfer to Yuan Hong's face, Yuan Hong gives a close-up of half of the face, pays attention to the eyes, and then zooms away." Staring at the screen, Ye Sumang commanded.

In the shot, according to the rhythm of the narration, the camera is also very accurately aimed at the mother and daughter at this time.

The rhythm of the camera is very slow, Ye Sumang also kept silently reciting the narration in his heart, mastering the rhythm, as the camera deflected, Yuan Hong's expression also entered the camera, but as soon as he entered the painting, Ye Sumang shouted CUT!

"The eyes are not right, be more vivid, among these beings, you are the only one who has life, remember not to be too dead."

"Got it." Yuan Hong breathed a sigh of relief, he thought he would be scolded when Ye Sumang shouted 'CUT' just now, but he didn't expect the director to say anything, but just gave him some guidance.

"You have to play it well." Yuan Hong secretly encouraged himself, thought about the director's words, and tried to adjust his state.

And Ye Sumang, who was sitting in the director's seat, was wearing a trench coat and hat, looking at the screen, waiting for Yuan Hong's performance. (To be continued.) )
