Chapter 202: The Battle of Literary Films
"Jin Tian, put on makeup for my brother, and the others should also order quickly, let's try to pass as soon as possible. Lu Yan debugged the main machine, looked at Du Kefeng over there, and had already commanded several photographers to take their places.
Watching Tim Ye put on Leslie Cheung's makeup, the reporters on the side widened their eyes.
In fact, when I watched "Rouge Buckle" before, many friends asked Lu Yan who played the old man. Because it really doesn't look like Leslie Cheung - because Leslie Cheung's skin was so good when he was filming, ordinary people would be wrinkled all over their faces when they applied a layer of wrinkled water. Applying three layers to his face had no effect, so he had to make an exception and put on a plaster face mold for him, resulting in unrecognizable appearance.
But at that time, Lu Yan himself had already identified him as Leslie Cheung when he saw it for the first time: not only because his unique side profile had not changed, but also because those eyes could have such clear and bright eyes as an old man in his seventies? I don't know if the stylist noticed this flaw, why he didn't wear a cloudy contact lens for him. As a result, as soon as the red lips were lifted like flowers, the old man's eyes shone in the darkness...... Oh, maybe Lu Yan didn't want to be strict about these details, this shape is one of Leslie Cheung's only surviving images of old age, which is precious.
But now it is Lu Yan who is directing and filming "Rouge Buckle", and of course he attaches great importance to the style of Leslie Cheung's scene. So in many details, he also hopes to achieve excellence. In terms of eyes, he also discussed with Tim Yip for a long time. finally came up with a small way to make Leslie Cheung's eyes start to be cloudy.
However, when Leslie Cheung appeared again, the reporters on the side exclaimed.
"It's a stand-in, isn't it?"
"What kind of stand-in is it, I didn't listen to the words just now and asked Ye Jintian to put makeup on him"
"But this makeup is really amazing, but unfortunately I can't see that he will be Leslie Cheung himself"
If it weren't for the fact that Lu Yan didn't allow these reporters to take pictures on the filming set, it is estimated that they would have taken out their cameras to capture this picture one after another.
"Haha, brother. You're more like a ghost than I am."
Hearing Anita Mui's words, Leslie Cheung suddenly blinked depressedly. Now because he is wearing makeup, his expression can't fluctuate too much. In fact, Leslie Cheung cares about his image, but Lu Yan has no way to ask him. In fact, everyone knows how to do your best as an actor. However, there are still many artists who are very concerned about their image in the film at this moment. If it weren't for the previous twelve young characters, it is estimated that Leslie Cheung would not be willing to pretend to be such an old statue
Lu Yan on the side looked at Leslie Cheung's appearance, nodded with satisfaction and said, "Very good"
"Sister Mei, don't tease my brother. Otherwise, he'll have to touch up his makeup again......"
"Brother Ziliang, are you ok?" Seeing that it was almost the same here, Lu Yan immediately asked the other actors and shouted: "It's all right, hurry up and bury the position, don't waste time......"
In this scene, Anita Mui played Ruhua found the set with the help of Wan Ziliang and them, and found this 12 young people who were already old and played tricks on the set.
Because the last scene is very convenient, it can be said that there is no need for props at all. Because we are a set of people, we have ready-made lamps and cameras. I guess nothing could be more real than this scene.
When the leading actors such as Yi Shouyi and Leslie Cheung gestured to indicate that they were in place, Lu Yan looked at the switchboard and shouted: "A ......"
Today's weather is also very much in line with the filming of "Rouge Buckle", and the sky at night is full of dark clouds and no stars. This is more in line with the sad and depressing atmosphere that Lu Yan is seeking......
However, the reporters on the side were a little excited, although they had seen the filming of "Rouge Buckle" before, but they were obviously not as enjoyable as this time. Among them, most of them have watched Leslie Cheung and Anita Mui's concert. But it's not common to watch two kings and queens in the music industry shoot movies and play rival scenes.
Although Lu Yan did not allow them to take pictures and photographs, many reporters still held paper and pen while watching.
"Like a flower...... Like a flower......"
"Forgive me"
Speaking of the old twelve, there is no scene in the original book where he meets Ruhua, everything is left to the reader's imagination. In the movie, Lu Yan obviously made a change that was very different from the original book. Ruhua forced the down-and-out Twelve Shao with a resolute and indifferent attitude of almost a victor: "Twelve Shao, thank you for remembering me." I have hung this rouge buckle for fifty-three years, and now I will return it to you, I will not wait any longer. ”
In addition, there is also a main line in the original work of "Rouge Buckle" is the love between Yuan Yongding and Ling Chujuan in modern society. and the staggered contrast between the love of Ruhua and the twelve, it shows the confusion of the changes in people's hearts over the years. But this line is obviously weakened in the movie, and it is squeezed into almost no place by the scenes of the 30s, and it loses the effect of contrast. For this, Lu Yan is still a little helpless. First of all, the rivalry between Wan Ziliang and Zhu Baoyi is obviously difficult to shine. Moreover, Lu Yan's main choice is the love between Ruhua and Twelve Shao, and it is understandable that such a problem occurs......
With a group of shots, Anita Mui and Leslie Cheung's performances have become perfect. Whether you see the old and old twelve young people hiding in the old house on the set and taking drugs......
Or Anita Mui's heartbroken expression...... Twelve young people followed excitedly, "Forgive me" one after another
When Lu Yan in front of the switchboard suddenly straightened up and resolutely shouted "cut", the staff in the audience finally breathed a sigh of relief.
And Wan Ziliang and Yi Shouyi on the side had already stood up and started applauding.
Seeing this scene, of course the reporters knew that this was the last mobile phone scene of "Rouge Buckle". Now, it's finally finished
Tim Yip and his assistants quickly stepped forward to remove Leslie Cheung's makeup. In the whole scene, it is estimated that the most uncomfortable person is Leslie Cheung. Acting with this thick plaster face mold is undeniably a great challenge for Leslie Cheung. Because the facial movements can't be too big. It's just those somewhat cloudy eyes that have been melted.
"Tim Tsai, your makeup can make me tired half to death"
When Tim Yip heard this, he immediately smiled and said: "It's not just me who has the idea, it's the director who came up with this idea."
"Ahem......"
"It's okay, it's all done. Congratulations, brother. ”
"The filming is finally over, and Yan Zai suddenly rushed to shoot, which really made me a little unbearable." Anita Mui, who was also taking off her headdress on the side, wiped her sweat and was a little tired
Soon, the whole set began to be noisy. Yi Shouyi and the others took out the champagne they had prepared long ago and began to play with each other.
The set of "Rouge Buckle" at night suddenly became a happy place.
And Lu Yan also signaled the staff to send a glass of champagne to the reporters waiting on the side.
When everyone was about to play, Lu Yancai took champagne and said in front of the guide tube: "Thank you for your dedication to "Rouge Buckle", it has been hard for so long, and it is finally finished." This is also my first time shooting a literary film, and there may be a lot of shortcomings. But I finally got through it, and as for the results, there is no need for everyone to worry. When the cleaning is over, everyone goes back to rest. The celebration banquet will be prepared in the next few days, and everyone will get together when the time comes......" As he spoke, Lu Yan raised his glass and said, "Come, everyone cheers"
After speaking, he also signaled to Long Mi and their group of reporters.
The wine was also drunk, and the movie was finished. Long Xiaomi, they can finally conduct interviews again.
But this time, everyone didn't just target Lu Yan anymore, many reporters rushed to Leslie Cheung and Anita Mui and began to ask. After all, this is the king and queen working together to shoot a literary film, and the taste must be very emotional.
Long Xiaomi and others are naturally most concerned about the release time of Lu Yan's "Rouge Buckle".
Director Lu, it seems that the showdown between "Rouge Buckle" and "Dao Ma Dan" has become a fact. How is it, do you have the confidence to fight in the ring with director Tsui Hark? ”
Lu Yan smiled and said, "Look at what you asked, Director Tsui Hark is a director I respect very much. "Sword and Horse" must be a very good work, and I don't dare to say anything big at the box office. If I talk about confidence, I can only say that I am very confident in my "Rouge Buckle"
"Hehe, Director Lu is also a side answer."
is very confident in his "Rouge Buckle", isn't that hoping to defeat "Dao Ma Dan" at the box office
Hearing this, Lu Yan didn't defend himself and said: "Everyone also saw it, for "Rouge Buckle". Everyone has paid a lot, like my brother and Sister Mei, they are all temporarily setting aside the time for the record to shoot, if so, I am not confident that it will not be me Lu Yan in the new year. Although this is my first literary film, there may be many inferiorities at that time. But since it's my own work, I'm very confident every time."
"In terms of post-production, I believe Director Lu Yan will also be very hurried, right?"
Not to mention post-production, just when I saw that the summer file "Sword and Horse" was not released. Lu Yan has actually started to be anxious, because this is undoubtedly a very good opportunity. Everyone seized this opportunity to publicize what a meaningful thing it is to fight in the ring
Between Dongcheng Image and New Art City, everyone has long known the many entanglements. Lu Yan and Tsui Hark are also a master-apprentice relationship. The funniest thing is that Dongcheng Imaging and Film Studio are both independent productions. The film studio has been semi-detached from the New Art City, and everyone does not deny this at all. Even Tsui Hark himself has confessed frankly.
"I don't deliberately do anything, although "Rouge Buckle" is finished. But when the time comes, I have to ask Miss Li Bihua to watch it before deciding when it will be officially released. ”
For Lu Yan's answer, the reporters also nodded one after another. After all, this movie is adapted from Li Bihua's novel, if the female writer thinks it can't. Then Lu Yan must still be modified......
"The filming of "Rouge Buckle" is over, and I believe that Director Lu will be busy with post-production in the future. So the Spring Festival movie, will Director Lu miss it this time? Long Mi looked at Lu Yan and asked eagerly. At the beginning of the summer season, Lu Yan obviously handed over the right to the box office battle to Wang Jing.
Fortunately, Wang Jing's "God of Gamblers" did not disappoint everyone, and Dongcheng Imaging still maintained a miraculous rise. What about the Spring Festival stalls? Isn't Lu Yan ready to shoot yet? Or is this young director Lu ready to retreat behind the scenes to vigorously develop the company?
This issue is obviously of great concern to everyone.
In fact, Lu Yan was also thinking about this matter, and he replied without thinking too much: "For this question, in fact, I don't have any plans yet. After all, "Rouge Buckle" has just been completed, and I haven't had time to think about the new film. But even if I don't shoot, you don't have to worry about it at all. Because we will definitely give back to the public with the best works."
"So, Dongcheng Imaging already has a new film in preparation? But what do we know, are there two directors in the company, you and Wang Jing? Could it be that the focus of this Spring Festival file is still directed by Wang Jing? ”
Hearing this, Lu Yan did not respond positively: "In fact, the company has internal directors like Xiaodong and Qiangzai, and they can all direct...... Regarding the matter of the Spring Festival stalls, it is too early to answer. Let's just wait and see, in short, our Dongcheng Image will definitely not disappoint everyone. ”
Although everyone is now asking about the Spring Festival movies, they also understand that the next moment seems to be the most exciting. Lu Yan and Tsui Hark, "Rouge Buckle" and "Sword and Horse".
Such a film showdown can obviously generate a lot of news.
Perhaps, Lu Yan will not let go here. And what about Tsui Hark's side? The director's intentions are now self-evident, and he is obviously waiting for the completion of "Rouge Buckle".
As for Director Lu Da? The rush to shoot during this period of time, I'm afraid it is to catch up with the release time of "Sword and Horse", right?
