Chapter 9: The Crucible
"Listening to a class? What classes to take? ā
Li Yunfei was afraid that Li Huaiyu would not agree, so she looked at him timidly and said, "That's it, doesn't the company have a lot of trainees?" It's the class they listen to, the acting class. ā
Li Huaiyu smiled secretly in his heart, it seems that this girl is unwilling to be just an assistant.
"If you have time, you can listen to it, as long as it doesn't affect others."
"No, I don't affect anyone else."
More than three weeks after Lee Yoo Fei went to work, Song Ji Hyo called and said that the film had been filmed and the post-production was coming to an end, just waiting to be sent to the 'Image Rating Committee' for rating, if nothing else, the film would definitely be rated as the highest level, and the age of 19 or older would be able to watch it, because the film involves too many social issues.
After thinking about it for a while, Li Huaiyu called Chen Shuo and said that he was not in a hurry to deliver the newspaper, he wanted to see the master tape first.
After a while, Chen Shuo sent the edited source of the film.
Li Huaiyu looked at Li Yunfei, who was sorting out the documents, and said, "You should be an adult, right?" ā
Li Yunfei raised her head and asked puzzledly, "I'm twenty-two years old, what's wrong?" ā
"Do you want to watch a movie? There are no films released yet. ā
Li Yunfei's pretty face suddenly turned red, first asked her if she was an adult, and then said that watching the film together must be a movie with a little 'color'.
"No, no, I still have to do things."
"It's a good film, it's definitely different from what you've seen before."
"IāI've never seen that kind of movie!" Li Yunfei's face is getting hotter and hotter.
"I know you haven't seen it, that's why I asked you if you want to see it?"
"Don't look, don't look!"
Li Huaiyu pouted: "Then I'll see it myself"
Tap the play button. What emerges is a picture filled with a thick fog. Late at night, the mountains in the distance are not clear. An old-fashioned truck weaves through a winding road.
The music is sad and the pace is slow, so slow that you feel like you're being pinched by a pair of hands, and your breathing becomes heavy.
Hwang Dong-hyuk is very sophisticated and knows that this type of film cannot be shot in the mainstream way, which would lose the theme that was originally intended to be expressed. More than 50% of the long shots in the movie are taken, and almost every shot is shot with panning or pulling the camera up, which will make the audience feel like they are there.
Li Huaiyu quickly fell in.
"We fought all the way, not to change the world, but not to let the world change us. Sometimes. Fighting is just an attitude, it doesn't matter if you win or lose. ā
"If we don't fight, we may be swallowed up by the torrent, we will fight, we may still be swallowed by the torrent, but we still have to fight after all, even if it can only change a little."
The dense fog of fictional cities constitutes the dark side of politics, justice, religion, and all walks of life, and sometimes they collectively fall into aneurysm and acquiesce to all kinds of "unspoken rules", all for their own interests to be satisfied or not touched.
"They can't hear, they can't speak". This sentence is not only said by the disabled, but also by the people who live in the chaos of the whole society. Disabled people are forced to have physical disabilities, while normal people are forced to live under the pressure of the living environment. This thick fog is precisely the cowardice and indifference in people's hearts that gradually succumb to power, with a little bit of the "herd mentality" of small citizens, and the gradually disappearing conscience and sense of justice.
Although the little girl played by Kim So-hyun was released from the clutches of the devil and returned to a peaceful life near the end of the film, the trauma brought to her by her once hellish life will not be erased for the rest of her life.
Seeing this, Li Huaiyu had completely fallen in, and he didn't even notice that Li Yunfei was sitting next to him.
"What a poor little girl, what a hateful scoundrel!"
Li Yufei's words pulled Li Huaiyu back to reality, and he exhaled heavily, which drove away the worrying feeling a little.
If this movie can be released smoothly, the social repercussions will definitely be heavyweight, maybe it can really prompt the judiciary to revise the law, and if it happens, the prestige of Han Junyi's camp in the hearts of the people will definitely be greatly improved.
Although Li Yunfei only watched the second half of the movie, she couldn't help but shed tears, and she kept wiping her eyes with a tissue for more than ten minutes after the end of the film.
"Boss, what movie is this? I'm sad to die! ā
"Actually, this movie is based on a true story, and only the details have been changed a little, 90% of them are real people and real stories!"
"Really?" Li Yunfei's tears that had already stopped began to fall again, "That little girl is so pitiful, I, I want to call the police!" ā
Li Huaiyu finally couldn't help laughing: "This happened several years ago, the statute of limitations of the law has long passed, and it is useless for you to call the police." ā
"What then?"
"It's good that you can have this heart, and the rest will be left to those big people to do."
"What do you mean?" Li Yunfei blinked and looked at Li Huaiyu puzzled.
Li Huaiyu smiled mysteriously and said, "The secret of heaven must not be revealed!" ā
At noon the next day, he took Kim So-hyun to the company.
There are often reports in newspapers and media that such and such an actor suffers from severe depression or other mental illness because of playing a certain role, which is definitely not alarmist, because the actor needs to adjust his mental state according to the script. Originally, I was in a good mood today, but I had to shoot a crying scene or a sad scene, and I was in a bad mood these days, but I had to shoot some comedy scenes, and if the character's identity and mental state could not be synchronized for a long time, it would easily cause personality splitting, and if it was serious, it would evolve into a mental illness.
Although Kim So-hyun has been very self-reliant since she was a child, she is only a twelve-year-old child after all, and Li Huaiyu is afraid that she will be psychologically burdened after making such a movie, so he plans to take her to relax.
"Is there a place you'd like to play?"
Kim So-hyun thought for a moment and said, "Playground? Water parks? ā
Li Huaiyu looked out the window and said, "It's very hot, let's go play in the water." ā
When the two were about to leave, Li Yunfei pushed the door and walked in, and when she saw Kim So-hyun, she was stunned, and couldn't help asking, "You, aren't you the poor little sister?" ā
Kim So-hyun was also stunned: "What? ā
Li Huaiyu on the side explained: "This is Li Yunfei, my assistant, we watched the master tape of "The Crucible" together yesterday, she is too involved in the play, it has been a whole day, and she still doesn't know the difference between reality and movies." ā
Kim So-hyun smiled and said, "That's acting." ā
"It's a great act." Li Yunfei suddenly pursed her lips, "I've also listened to a lot of classes, why don't you act like it?" ā
"So Hyun has been acting since he was nine years old, and it's been more than three years, and you've only taken a few classes?"
Li Yunfei said with a flattering face: "Boss, if there is a new film to start filming in the future, can you let me play a cameo role?" The kind of passerby who doesn't have lines can do it! ā
