Chapter 306. Gangnam 1970
Just when the entire Korean entertainment industry was disturbed, Yin Tianyou led his crew and quickly completed the filming of "Gangnam 1970".
The entire crew, whether it is Lee Min Ho with an unbelievable appearance, or the powerful Xiao Sheng Kim Rae-won, or the new "Little Kim Tae-hee" Park Ji-yeon, all went all out to complete their roles.
If this shoot is compared to a good fight, then there is no doubt that these actors are the heroes of this battle.
In fact, the main reason why Yoon Tianyou finished filming this drama so quickly is to dedicate the film as a New Year's gift to Korean audiences, as well as Asian audiences.
You must know that Lee Min Ho is very popular in South Korea and Asia, and this drama is his first work, and fans are full of hot expectations.
Yin Tianyou's calculation is very simple, filming is to show the audience, while the audience's enthusiasm has not dissipated, it is best to complete the filming as soon as possible and release it as soon as possible-
Of course, in order to ensure that the quality of this drama is not criticized by the audience, after the editing, Yin Tianyou invited the senior management of JYP Entertainment to watch the sample film.
The room where the film was watched was set up in the multi-purpose conference room of JYP Entertainment, which was originally very large and could accommodate hundreds of people in each meeting, but this time there were only six or seven people sitting here, which was particularly deserted.
Yoon Cheon-woo, Park Jin-young, Choi Dong-hoon, Professor Kim, and crew members Lee Min Ho and Kim Rae-won.
Before watching the sample film, Professor Jin asked curiously, "Why are all men here?" Then he looked around.
The others were also very interested and turned their heads to look at Yin Tianyou, and Cui Dongxun smiled: "Because there are very wonderful bed scenes in this play!" ”
Although it is not very clear in the dark. But Yin Tianyou still glared at Cui Dongxun fiercely before explaining: "You all know that this is my first experimental work. And this play is special. What's special is the perspective. I wanted to restore the picture of Gangnam in South Korea in the 70s from different perspectives, and restore the story of the real estate struggle at that time. ”
Is it so profound?
Look at me, people. I look at you.
Yin Tianyou rolled his eyes, "Let's watch the sample film first." “
For these rough people who don't have much film culture. Yin Tianyou felt that it was all in vain to say too much.
Although it is a sample film, the film has several commercials as always, and these commercials are trailers for several movies shot by CJ Entertainment. According to the partnership, help them build popularity. And this is also a habitual practice of many film companies.
I have to say that these dramas invested by Xijie Entertainment Company are very large-scale, to be precise, they have the temperament of blockbusters, and they are very compatible with the "Jiangnan 1970" that Yin Tianyou is preparing to broadcast. It seems that when choosing the trailer, Xijie's side also put in a lot of effort, and the more they matched. The more it can arouse the interest of the audience.
Finally, the feature film arrived. At the beginning of the film, the grasslands, lakes and starry sky that are becoming more and more fresh and vast, and then the outline of the human face - designed according to Yin Tianyou's outline.
Seeing this, Yin Tianyou couldn't help but think of the difficulties he had when he first entered the film industry, and turned his head to look at his old friend Cui Dongxun. Unexpectedly, Cui Dongxun also thought of his hard work when filming this logo, and also looked at him.
The two of them looked at each other and smiled, sometimes it was wonderful to be able to stand in the present and admire the past, and every memory became a treasured silver calendar that would never fade.
After these images came out. Finally, there is a subtitle that excites the audience - Yin Tianyou's work!
How Yin Tianyou's work is not exciting, this is the first work from the music world to the film industry, from a king to an actor.
Now the Korean film industry is not popular, whether it is an actor. is still a director, basically there are so few, not Xue Jingqiu. Choi Min-sik is Lee Byung-hun. Huang Zhengmin, there are not many young actors like Yin Tianyou. And there are not many directors with ambitions and ideals like him.
Although this is only his first work, everyone is full of expectations for him, only hoping that he can succeed once and become a real super artist who can shoot, direct and sing.
The film finally begins, and the first thing that appears is a slightly shaky image. This camera shaking problem troubled Yoon and Choi Dong-hoon for several days, and finally found a way to make a shock absorber to prevent the image from shaking badly.
In fact, Choi Dongxun, who is Yoon Tianyou's deputy, has not proposed that he should not use a portable machine. But Yin Tianyou vetoed it, since the camera is an eye, where is there anything that does not shake, so it is realistic enough.
The screen is constantly moving forward, and the credits are playing. In order to solve the boring feeling caused by the monotony of the picture, Yin Tianyou finally decided to use music to enhance the atmosphere. But I didn't expect this to give people an immersive feeling, listening to the old Korean music of the 70s in the movie, it is easy for the audience to travel back in time and space.
Of course, this piece of music was carefully found by Yoon Tianyou, at least so that Koreans can hear about it. When you hear music, you can't help but feel like you're back in the past.
As the camera moves, the frame reveals a large garbage dump with two figures picking up trash. At this time, the audience finally felt that something was wrong, why did two hands suddenly stretch out from under the picture, and the sound coming out of the sound seemed to be in the middle of the picture.
Yin Tianyou couldn't help but snicker in his stomach, what is manipulating the audience? That's it. Anyone can get the thrill of manipulating, and that's why people try to climb to the heights. However, any feeling of manipulation is not as pleasant as Yin Tianyou's current feeling, because it is still an art that does not hurt people, and he is manipulating people's behavior and thoughts for more than an hour.
When the hands in the picture got the money and turned around and walked out a short distance, they saw a group of big men rushing into the garbage dump with weapons in hand, and then the picture immediately trembled, and the fight took over the whole scene without warning. ,
In the face of such an astonishing change, the two male protagonists were about to make a move, but they were pointed at gunpoint. The jet-black muzzle of the gun was raised and pointed at the camera, because the use of the wide-angle lens caused Lee Min Ho's face and gun to be somewhat distorted, forming a distorted deterrent. And then a lazy voice came from the stereo: "Don't move." It will soon be developed into real estate, and it will no longer be a garbage dump! ”
"How so!"
"Very interesting!" In the face of mutations. There is a big difference in the expressions of Lee Min Ho and Kim Rae Won, which also indicates the difference in their personalities. and the direction of future development, but also their own destinies.
With the fight inside the junkyard, the action camera brings it all to life on screen. When Lee Min Ho participated in the battle, the moment he opened his eyes angrily and knocked down a person with a stick, he saw blood **** coming out. This special effect is so realistic that the camera immediately plunges into darkness, and it is not until the audience later figures out what the film is trying to tell that the protagonist played by Lee Min Ho closes his eyes out of fear when the picture is darkened.
But closing your eyes doesn't mean that fear is no longer haunting. On the blackened screen, when the title was played, there were still occasional banging fights and several screams in the stereo. This one was inspired by the Hollywood movie "The Godfather".
Yin Tianyou had been worrying about how to make the opening a little more interesting when editing this paragraph, and finally thought of "The Godfather". And his heart moved so that the cruel scene only appeared in one scene, so that the other fighting sounds sounded in the whole darkness of the picture, so that he could implicitly induce a kind of fear.
The rest of the story is much more interesting, and the audience sweeps away the dullness of the first three minutes and enjoys the film with full attention. This gives them a very wonderful feeling, and the picture gives them the feeling that they have traveled back to 1970 in Jiangnan, watching a group of people on the street for real estate development. Huxianghu Station, and he is still hiding around.
It's obviously a new experience, especially with the long shot, which moves so fast. Originally, it was to solve the problem of picture focus. Yin Tianyou spent a day scheduling the location of the scene and adjusting the position of the camera in order to solve the focusing problem. Now it seems that the problem is clearly minimal.
The long shot of this fight is not very long, only about three to four minutes, but it took Yin Tianyou a lot of effort. This is one of the best clips in the whole film. What is amazing is that even a long shot can present a special style because of the scheduling relationship on the scene. It seems to be quite smooth and done in one go.
You know, as a director, just like an actor, you will have your own style. Being able to establish his own sense of style was definitely a success when he was directing a microphone for the first time.
The foreshadowing took about ten minutes, and all that was left was the scene in an abandoned warehouse. This scene is especially simple, mainly about Lee Min Ho and Kim Rae Won, who are poor and can't sleep in the winter, and snuggle up to each other to keep warm, but because the camera doesn't need to run around anymore, NG is always very rare.
In fact, Yin Tianyou is more interested in this scene than the fight scene, because although there are few scenes, it is about brotherhood. Lee Min Ho and Kim Rae Won did not hesitate to sacrifice their reputations to shine brightly. I don't know how spoofed it was when I filmed. Now the shooting effect is excellent, at least Park Zhenying and others are very moved, looking at the two male protagonists leaning against each other on the screen, they said in their hearts, this is a good brother.
The story behind this is much simpler, and the two "protagonists" are separated because of the collapse of the house. Each has its own opportunities, Jin Laiyuan has become a gold medal fighter of the gang boss, and in the face of the colorful world, he is tempted to become evil. And Lee Min Ho was rescued by the original gang brother, because the gang brother changed his ways, he had to live according to the rules, and fell in love with the eldest brother's daughter. When the eldest brother saw that Lee Min Ho was so good, he recognized him as a righteous son, which made Lee Min Ho have no choice but to bury his love for his godsister in the bottom of his heart, forming an inextricable fate.
Looking at the actors with different opportunities and changes on the screen - Lee Min Ho and Kim Rae Won, Yoon Tianwoo's mood is amazing. He thinks back to how he felt when he was creating. In the creative process, he feels like a balloon with enough air, and every day there are countless inspirations in his mind, and he catches the most suitable ones in time to put them in the film.
Even in the later stages of production, he still maintains a lot of inspiration and creative energy. Looking back now, it was the inspiration and impulse that drove him to shoot the film in less than a week.
But when the film was all made, his whole body was like a deflated balloon, and he couldn't lift any spirits softly. The most terrifying thing is that during that time, his mind was empty in terms of film creation, as if everything in his land had been hollowed out by that film, as if he had spent his whole life creating such a film.
Now Yin Tianyou finally understands why many directors and actors find it difficult to perform well in the short term after making a classic work. Because of the desire and impulse to create, he was completely exhausted when he was shooting that film, and he didn't recover until a long time, just like after a long-distance run.
With the development of the storyline on the screen, Park Jin-young and others have long been impressed by the acting skills of Lee Min Ho and Kim Rae Won. Especially Lee Min Ho, who is the representative of Korean flower boys, used to give everyone the impression that he was a vase man, and only in "City Hunter" did he have a trace of manly appearance. Now, he is full of the taste of a man in the whole play, especially when his brotherhood is betrayed, that kind of unbelievable look reflects his inner unwillingness and loss.
Someone once said that actors' acting is mainly body language and eyes, and eyes are the most difficult, which is why many actors like to rely on their eyes to act, because the ideas that can be conveyed by eyes go directly to the audience's heart, which is different from body language and floats on the surface.
This time Lee Min Ho used his actual actions to show his acting skills, his eyes made people feel sad, although on the whole he has not departed from the shadow of a beautiful man, but the impression is no longer a vase, but a man with a story.
Men attract women because of mystery.
Men attract audiences because they have stories.
This is a constant truth.
The theme of the story is clearly explained, and the grievances and hatreds of the two male protagonists are faintly projected in his dialogue. The final ending is even more embarrassing.
Kim Rae-won is dead, killed by Lee Min Ho.
And Lee Min Ho also died, assassinated by the real estate developer behind his own scenes.
His sister, who had been waiting for him, was wandering at the door of the house, and the music sounded, which was the melodious and sad nostalgic music at the beginning.
What is very amazing is that Park Jin-young and others have a sense of unfinished meaning so far, and even feel that the movie should not be over yet, and Lee Min Ho is not dead......
The whole story is very clear in front of everyone, and even the death of the protagonist is very clear, but they still clearly feel that the protagonist should not die, there should be a sequel, the story should not be so sad, and the happy ending is king. (To be continued.) )
