"Alas!"

A long sigh.

In a small car, Chen Shiren turned around slightly, looked at the tall buildings outside the window, and couldn't help but sigh.

He felt very wrong today, no matter how he adjusted his seat, it was not very comfortable, he turned around, sat inside, and then sighed again.

Chen Hong rolled his eyes at his man, "What's wrong with you?" ”

"I don't know what's wrong today, it's just uncomfortable, I don't feel comfortable no matter how I sit."

Chen Hong shook his head, "Are you really uncomfortable sitting?" ”

"Isn't it?"

Chen Hong didn't reply, Chen Shiren didn't chase after him, he was actually very weak-hearted.

Just like Chen Hong said, he is not uncomfortable to sit, but impetuous, and the whole person is in the wrong state and uncomfortable.

In 2012, Chen Shiren produced "Search", although the box office was average, but the reputation was good.

Let Chen Shishi save a lot of audience popularity.

Many people think that at this time, Chen Shiren should make persistent efforts and continue to make good movies like "Search".

But Chen Shiren's side can't do it.

There are more than a dozen books sent to him, all of which are good themes, and there are even hot topic movies like "Search".

However, Chen Shiren was not interested.

For some reason, the audience likes "Search", but Chen Shiren doesn't like it very much.

He wanted to make something interesting.

So after "Search", Chen Shishi has been at home, looking for new inspiration, and a year has passed in a blink of an eye.

He went to Japan a few days ago to attend the Tokyo Film Festival and was the chief judge of the festival.

With him in charge, the Tokyo Film Festival gave Chinese films a big award.

Wang Jingchun won the Best Actor Award for "Police Diary".

Several other awards were given to films from Sweden, Iran, Iceland, the Philippines, and even Japanese films did not have much honor.

Chen Shiren is quite proud in his heart, when he was in Tokyo, he was the most beautiful boy in the entire film festival, and everyone respected him very much when they saw him.

However, after the film festival ended, he returned to China and was faced with the problem of choosing new films again, and his heart became irritable again.

Just two days ago, Reuters photos of "La La Land" leaked out, and the photos were very blurry.

However, the reporter who uploaded the photo was very excited, and posted several comments on Weibo, saying that the set of "La La Land" was very beautiful, like a dream, and he predicted that Lee Shengyao could give a big surprise to the national audience.

Then a lot of information about La La Land came out, and most of it was praise.

When Chen Shiren heard this, he couldn't help but be a little curious.

He wanted to visit the class to see if he could get some inspiration from Lee Shengyao.

Soon after, the car arrived at its destination, and Chen Shiren pulled Chen Hong out of the car.

The two of them walked slowly to the set of "La La Land", and in the distance, they could see that the ground of the road and the buildings on both sides were repainted.

The road turned dark gray.

The wooden piers on both sides of the road are pink, and the walls are painted cream white.

It's like a movie set, isn't this a children's paradise?

Outsiders say that Lao Mouzi is a master of color, but in fact, Chen Shishi's films also have a lot of ideas about color.

At this time, seeing the color on the set, Chen Shiren couldn't help nodding, "Very good use of color, the whole is warm colors, giving people a feeling of being in a happy mood, as if entering a dream." ”

Chen Hong nodded, "This kind of color matching is really bold." ”

The warmer, darker, and more exposed colors are, the more difficult it is to match.

It's like red and green, and if you're not careful, it will become rustic.

Chen Shiren thinks that there are only a handful of directors in the entire Chinese film industry who can match high-exposure colors, and he is one of them.

Lee Shengyao's previous films did not show talent in this regard.

Although he didn't see the picture on the director's monitor at this point, it was enough to surprise him.

"Very thoughtful, Director Li is a master of aesthetics."

A director who doesn't understand aesthetics can't make a good movie.

After all, film is image art, which is to shoot beautifully and naturally, and to shoot a sense of story.

Chen Shiren praised it, and then saw Li Shengyao ushering in.

The two directors exchanged a few words, and then agreed to have dinner together at noon, and Li Shengyao was going to be busy, so he left first.

And Chen Shiren continued to hang out on the set.

The more I looked, the more surprised I became.

Lee Shengyao's use of color in "La La Land" is really too rich and beautiful.

Chen Shiren didn't expect that Li Shengyao would have such an idea for the first time directing a song and dance film.

Are you really not afraid that you will be too much, and you are not afraid that the audience will not like it?

Chen Hong had already taken out her mobile phone, and then took a selfie at herself.

"It's so beautiful here, it can be used as a film and television city, and it can be used for tourism."

Chen Shiren thought of the participating films at the Tokyo Film Festival this time, he didn't see that movie, with such a bold use of color, and couldn't help but nod, "That's right, this is very powerful." ”

Chen Hong smiled, and pulled Chen Shiren to find a place to sit down, "Have you found inspiration?" ”

"No, but I'm in a much better mood."

At this time, a movie was being made on the set of "La La Land", and Li Lianhua, who had twisted her foot, had returned.

She has a very good complexion, standing with Yue Ming, smart and beautiful.

Mandy Moore clapped her hands, then instructed the cast to rehearse.

This was followed by another big cabaret show.

Seeing this, Chen Shiren was curious, so he looked over.

He didn't look at the actors, he watched what Lee Shengyao was doing.

In the past, there were a lot of rumors about Li Shengyao, needless to say about his own job, and it was rumored that he could photography, soundtrack, martial arts, editing, in short, it seems that Li Shengyao can participate in all aspects of film production.

They all have the strength to talk a few words.

Now when it comes to dance, Lee Shengyao can't do it.

Chen Shiren looked over and found that Mandy Moore was directing the actors in rehearsals, and Li Shengyao was sitting quietly.

He couldn't help laughing, "Director Li is indeed versatile, but he definitely rarely dances, and in terms of dance, he is still a novice and has no way to guide a professional dance director." ”

Chen Hong heard Chen Shishi's words, "It's hard to say, Director Li really seems to know everything, maybe I'll surprise you later." ”

"Then I'll wait."

Mandy Moore took the actors to rehearse, and when they were done, the official filming began.

This plot is that the hero and heroine are together, dancing happily, to show happiness, and the dance should be simple and romantic.

Mandy Moore's choreography didn't seem like a big deal, but Lee Sang Yew was sitting behind the director's monitor, and he immediately noticed that something was wrong, the rhythm was out of order, and the dance was too long.

I can't see it when I'm choreographing, but when I get behind the director's monitor, I can see the problem.

Lee then shouted to stop, and then expressed his meaning to Mandy Moore.

When Mandy Moore heard this, he said that he would rearrange it and cut a few movements.

Li Shengyao didn't steal the show, smiled and nodded, giving Mandy Moore enough face and time.

Mandy Moore stepped aside, shouting the beat as she pondered how to cut out the dance moves.

After about half an hour, Mandy Moore clapped his hands and then rehearsed the dance with the actors.

At this moment, Li Sheng stood up and danced with the actors.

He doesn't know how to dance, he does it just to be idle and flustered, to move his muscles.

Compared with the dancing postures of Yue Ming and Li Lianhua, Li Shengyao's side is more natural and open.

Mandy Moore was stunned, "Li, have you ever learned this dance before?" ”

She had just choreographed it, though she wasn't sure if she had inadvertently borrowed some classic dance moves, which Lee Shengyao might have learned before.

Li Shengyao shook his head, "I haven't learned, I just saw you jump." ”

I just saw it, and now I'm so proficient, it's a liar.

Mandy Moore, and Yue Ming didn't believe it.

The actors didn't dare to say it.

But Mandy Moore is different, she is straight, "Lee, how do I feel that you dance differently than me?" ”

Li Shengyao was probably influenced by "La La Land" in his previous life, and danced more of the temperament of classic Hollywood musicals.

In his previous life, La La Land paid homage to classic Hollywood musicals in many places.

Li Shengyao just jumped along, but he couldn't help but think of some actions in his previous life.

It's all choreographed by Mandy Moore, and it's basically the same, but in terms of details, it's naturally not as good as the inspected movements.

Li Shengyao quickly figured out the key factors, "There is some personal understanding of mine, do you want to see it, I can jump it." ”

Although he has never learned to dance, he has been exercising all year round, and his limbs are stretched softly, so he still has no problem dancing.

Mandy Moore nodded in agreement.

So in the dance just now, Li Shengyao danced again.

It can be seen that he is not as skilled as Yue Yueming's jumping, but he obviously feels more when he jumps.

Yue Ming dragged his chin with his right hand, his eyes full of incredulity.

What's going on, I've been practicing for almost a year, can't I compare to Li Shengyao?

Chen Shiren and Chen Hong sat next to them, their eyes full of surprise.

Just joking, I think Lee Shengyao can't choreograph, so he can't guide Mandy Moore.

Now it seems that Lee Shengyao really can't choreograph, but he has a good talent for dancing, which is already very rare.

The vast majority of ordinary people dancing are actually stiff and ugly.

It's okay to let Chen Hong jump, but Chen Shiren can't.

He couldn't help but laugh and said: "Director Li's talent is really enviable." ”

On the other side, Mandy Moore clapped his hands and applauded, "Lee, your dance has given me some inspiration, I can change it to make it better." ”

Li Shengyao didn't care, "Okay, you can change it well." ”

He then raised his head at the stunned Yue Ming, "Come on." ”

The overall filming time of "La La Land" should not be very long.

The plot of this movie is not complicated, it is very well performed, as long as you get used to the cabaret performance, the progress will be much faster.

It is mainly the computer special effects in post-production, and the soundtrack takes a lot of time.

Li Shengyao could arrange for Li Lianhua to recuperate for half a month before, so naturally he would not compete with Mandy Moore for dozens of minutes.

Chen Shishi and Chen Hong were bored, so he asked Li Shengyao to read the script.

Li Shengyao did not refuse, and happily gave the script to Chen Shiren.

So Chen sat on the side, watching the script of "La La Land".

Generally speaking, the scripts of musical and dance films are relatively simple and monotonous.

Because many times, song and dance films can replace emotional changes with song and dance, so they don't need to arrange such complex conflicts.

Chen Shiren thought that "La La Land" and the song and dance films in his impression should not be checked much, but he didn't expect to be fascinated when he saw it.

In Lee Shengyao's previous life, "La La Land" won the Golden Globe Award for Best Screenplay.

The script of this movie is definitely a rare good story in the last ten or twenty years.

Chen Shiren patted his thigh as he watched.

His mouth muttered, "Good, good, good." ”

"What's good?"

Chen Hong asked beside him.

Chen Shiren smiled and subconsciously replied: "The rhythm is good, and the emotions are in place." ”

Any good story must have a good rhythm and a good mood.

This kind of story structure can arouse the emotions of the audience.

"La La Land" has this advantage, and the pace of the film is very good.

From the beginning, the hero and heroine were strangers, because of an accident, they scolded each other, and it was not very pleasant to meet twice in a row.

However, when the heroine accidentally enters a jazz bar.

She saw the male protagonist playing the piano in the center of the light, and fell all at once.

There is no foreshadowing here, and it seems to be a little abrupt.

But it was arranged like this, but it deepened the heroine's feelings for the male protagonist.

Later, the heroine's mentality struggles, breaking up with her boyfriend, getting together with the hero, and the hero's later compromise in order to give the heroine a better life, the two are getting richer and richer, but they communicate less and less.

It's all very natural overall.

Every plot is just right, it is expected by the audience, there is a feeling of natural progress, and it is easy to indulge in it.

Chen Shiren was soon fascinated.

When it was almost time to get off work, he saw the plot at the end and couldn't help but shout: "Okay, this design is really good." ”

The hero and heroine love each other very much, but they still lose to life.

A few years later, the heroine became a female star, married a wealthy businessman, and had children, and everything was so successful and smooth.

She and her husband stumble upon a jazz bar run by the male protagonist.

At this time, the actor has completed the accumulation, and he opened a bar of his own.

It's like two people meeting for the first time in a bar, the heroine sees the male protagonist at first sight and is deeply attracted to him.

The male protagonist also noticed the heroine, and the two looked at each other from a distance.

The gaze is complex, and it can be described as ten thousand years at a glance.

The movie uses a montage treatment here, and the heroine seems to see a life all over again.

If she fell in love with the actor at the first time.

Suppose two people tolerate each other after arguing.

If they get married, go to Paris for their honeymoon.

Let's say their baby is born.

Suppose they grow up with their children together.

…… Wait a minute

A series of fantasies, the heroine sees a completely different life.

She naturally had some remorse in her heart.

But the applause rang out, and back to reality, she still had to leave with her husband.

When parting, she glanced at the male protagonist, full of gratitude, and smiled with relief.

Chen Shiren saw this paragraph and was greatly moved.

"This story is really good, Director Li's ability to write the script is still so strong, I admire it."

"People don't just write scripts, they're aesthetic masters, and they can dance."

Chen Hong added.

She then asked, "Got inspired?" ”

Chen Shiren shook his head, "No, but this trip is not a loss, I saw a very good story." ”
