Chapter 179: A stroke of genius
Chapter 179: A stroke of genius
Many scenes in "Rouge Buckle" are in-court dramas. Because of this, the crew spent most of their time filming on the Shaw Brothers set. Although the current Shaw Brothers Film Company is getting older and older, the set is still hot. Many film crews are gathered here to seek filming.
When Anita Mui appeared with good makeup, Christopher Doo and the others were all bright. In order to shoot this movie, most of the staff put in a lot of effort to watch "Rouge Buckle"
"Director, it's really yours. I would have thought of such a way to appear."
"Sister Mei's appearance is enough to become the focus of attention suddenly" Lu Yan smiled, and shouted again and again when he saw that everyone was almost ready: "Attention departments, Sister Mei and brother...... You're all in your place."
"Lights...... Ready, A"
Ruhua's debut was unveiled in men's clothing, and she saw Anita Mui's style. Everyone couldn't help but secretly praise that Director Lu's hand was simply a stroke of genius.
Everyone can see that Anita Mui, who plays the heroine, is not as beautiful as the one depicted in the original book, and is not even as beautiful as the male protagonist - Leslie Cheung, but the neat soap-colored men's clothes make this woman stand out in a group of vulgar fat fans.
At the same time, Lu Yan arranged for Anita Mui to sing Nanyin "Away Autumn Hate" in her debut, which was not mentioned at all in the original book. However, who is the heroine of Lu Yanxuan? is the queen of the music world, Anita Mui
Although later according to connoisseurs, she and Leslie Cheung sang the same Nanyin, and the blind piano master's opening of only two sentences was the real authentic Nanyin. But this scene gives full play to Anita Mui's stage charm, with a clear gesture, and occasionally a flash of light from her eyes, which has the majesty of a Cantonese opera veteran.
"The cool breeze has a letter, and the autumn moon is boundless. Sijiao's mood is like living like a year...... Today, it is difficult for each side to meet, and it is a lonely boat to calm the evening scene and cool day. You look at the slanting sun and live together with Feiyan, leaning on the window alone and thinking quietly ......" The song "Away Autumn Hate", Lu Yan is no stranger. In my impression, there is no lack of Zhang Weijian and Stephen Chow singing the joy of the little people visiting the Red Mansion. But Anita Mui's mezzo-soprano bit Wu Yue's voice word for word. It is a hint of the tragedy of three days around the beam and a thousand turns
As soon as Anita Mui opened her mouth, the handyman on the side discussed: "I have watched Sister Mei's concert, but I didn't expect her to sing so well?" ”
"I didn't see that she and her brother sang so many times just now, they should have practiced for a long time."
Several others also nodded and said, "Officially shooting, this costume is a match." Acting with my brother, I feel even more when I listen to it again."
is also amazing and the twelve young people who met the audience for the first time with Ruhua, Leslie Cheung is no longer the age of an idol. Now he is stepping into his best style, rich and handsome, and the appearance of Zhu Yuan Yurun is really eye-catching, and it has undoubtedly become the focus of the audience.
The two looked at each other and immediately froze. However, they didn't say a word to each other, only circled with their bodies and pressed forward with their eyes. All the heartbeats, emotions, temptations, and rejections are all circulating in the sonorous southern tone. The shot is subtle and gorgeous, and the touching Doyle who holds the main camera in his hand has to admit that this will be one of the most classic passages in Chinese romance movies.
When filming literary films, what you want is a drama. A simple action and a look must be driven by stories and feelings.
"Cut" Lu Yan's shout suddenly broke this atmosphere.
Although Leslie Cheung, Anita Mui and even other tricks have been very involved, Lu Yan's requirements for this scene are obviously extremely harsh: "Sister Mei, bring some movements with your hands when singing "Autumn Hate on the Journey". It doesn't have to be too big, but it has to show the taste of wind and dust, brother, your eyes. You are now twelve, and it is the first time that you have met Ruhua's eyes, especially when you are infected by the singing...... Feel, feel like it's coming again, no problem, right? ”
Regarding Lu Yan's opinion, Leslie Cheung and Anita Mui both nodded and said, "No problem"
"No problem, then re-prepare the departments to ......"
Hearing Lu Yan's shout, Yi Shouyi took the clipboard again......
After "A", it was a "pop" and the shooting started again.
Leslie Cheung and Anita Mui can definitely be called 'confidantes' now. So the two of them acting like this kind of drama seem to have a natural feeling.
Especially like a heart-like eye to each other, not pretentious at all.
And when Ruhua left, they looked back and smiled. Leslie Cheung grasped it very well, and the slightly clear smile was full of the feeling that the twelve young people of the North and South Ocean Tours should have.
"Cut is good, everyone take a break." After a scene, everyone can breathe a sigh of relief. The only actor who is involved is suddenly in a trance.
Leslie Cheung and Anita Mui smiled, and then went to the side again to rest and prepare for the next scene.
"Brother, didn't you say that the director is good at laughing and communicating on the set many times. After I came to film, I haven't seen him talk to us about the off-screen? "Lu Yan's personality, Anita Mui has long heard of it. But after filming, the director Lu Yan read the script after communicating with Yi Shouyi
Leslie Cheung nodded with a little understanding and said: "Maybe Yan Zai himself is not under a lot of pressure, and a film like "Rouge Buckle" is too difficult." I just got the script, just like you. I feel that this drama is so difficult to act"
"Yes, although the outside world did not refute and ridicule like the "A Chinese Ghost Story" you filmed last time, it is obviously not too optimistic." Anita Mui nodded thoughtfully, and looked at the plot of the next scene again.
As for Lu Yan, there is indeed a bit of the ingredient reason they said.
Movies like "Rouge Buckle" not only test the acting skills of the actors, but also the level of the director. Before adapting the script, Lu Yan had read the original book countless times. As a director, the first thing he needs is to precipitate himself into the story and figure it out.
Therefore, most films are able to express a director's personal opinion on similar stories.
In fact, the book "Rouge Buckle", with only more than 80,000 words, is more accurate to say that it is a novella, but in this short space, it is written that the time flow space is secretly exchanged for love and fire churning human face mutation, and the unexpected ** is closely linked to one ring, the atmosphere is sad and magnificent, the pen is swaying and Shen Xiong, reading sometimes Waner, sometimes holding his breath, sometimes wanting to look up to the sky and howl, and sometimes can't help but tears.
After reading too much, Lu Yan really understands why this book has become Li Bihua's famous work - maybe some people don't like it, but how can someone be unmoved In Li Bihua's many subsequent works, it can also be said that there are many masterpieces. But when it comes to the depth of depicting emotions and the thickness of the space of the times, I am afraid that only "Farewell My Concubine" can be compared.
With the sufficient sense of drama and plump characters in this novel itself, Lu Yan did feel a lot of pressure. Often such adaptations are the most difficult to film
"The director is almost there, right?" Looking at the time, Yi Shouyi came over and reminded.
Hearing this, Lu Yan looked at the time, but said without hurry: "Wait, let my brother brew more feelings." I also need to brew a ......."
As he spoke, he looked at Leslie Cheung and Anita Mui, who were talking to each other over there, and nodded with satisfaction
Following Lu Yan from the beginning of "The True Color of Heroes" to the present, Yi Shouyi thinks that he already knows the director very well. Most of the staff didn't know how hard Director Lu worked, but he knew how hard Lu Yan was. During the initial preparation of "Rouge Buckle", Director Lu left the company at the latest.
Therefore, he knows better than anyone that Director Lu's feelings and expectations for "Rouge Buckle" are even better than "The True Colors of Heroes" and "A Chinese Ghost Story".
Shooting slowly doesn't mean that everyone is a little more relaxed. In fact, the staff originally made it easier for "Rouge Buckle" to be filmed without rushing in the future, but they didn't expect the filming to officially start, only to find that the so-called slowness is just more demanding and accurate. Even if it is as small as a prop, it must be very in line with the sense of the times
Just like the scene just now, in order to highlight the effect. Before Lu Yanzai started filming, he asked Leslie Cheung and them to sing the southern voice a few times. And I specially invited teachers to teach on the spot.
When Lu Yan put the script in his hand aside, he called Yi Shouyi to inform everyone to prepare.
The other staff had been staring at him for a long time, and when they saw Lu Yan's scene, they naturally became active and began to fiddle with props and equipment.
"Brother, Sister Mei. How's it going? ”
"Almost, are you going to bury it?"
"Prepare to bury the position" Saying that, Lu Yan called Ye Jintian and said, "Let Ah Ken make up some makeup for my brother......"
The staff who have followed Lu Yan and have already filmed two dramas have seen the changes in Lu Yan
"Did you find that this time the director is all strained, without a little expression, he used to laugh and laugh a lot, and joked with us, this time it's really weird, and there are a lot fewer words."
"The director is becoming more and more like a big director, and I used to make films with director Tsui Hark. Director Tsui Hark didn't speak, he just scolded when he opened his mouth......"
"What do you mean to be more and more like, Director Lu is now a big director"
"Stop talking nonsense, let's get started." Seeing that Lu Yan had already stood in front of the switchboard, they all quickly buried themselves in their positions and prepared to perform their duties
(Free) ps: It seems a little unbearable, I haven't been like this for a long time. 10,000 a day, it's so hard, where is the subscription? Where is it?? suffering
