Chapter 489: This is a love letter that transcends time and space
Compared with those popular actors who only have one day off a year, or even all year round, Liu Yifei's actor work is relatively easy.
Since entering the industry, she has basically maintained the rhythm of working for half a year and taking vacation for half a year.
Occasionally, when two movies are made in a row, there is also a break of at least 2 months in between.
In her words, frequent joining the group will not bring about an improvement in acting skills, but will result in more and more ordinary works and more mediocre acting skills because of the lack of enough time to recharge and understand the script.
And the rhythm of one drama a year can better allow her to recharge herself more when she is not filming, and at the same time, she can better study the script and make more preparations to meet the next shooting, which will bring the best performance.
On the contrary to Liu Yifei, it is Yang Mi, who not only works all year round, but sometimes also rolls dramas.
As a director, I definitely appreciate the first type of actor more.
And as capital, then you will appreciate the second type of actors.
These two actors can't tell who is good and who is bad, it's just two different ways of working.
And Wu Yuan, who is both a capitalist and a director, has a more flexible bottom line.
The company signs artists, and he prefers to sign to make money.
But when he chose actors for his movie shooting, he preferred actors like Liu Yifei who have more attitude and bottom line towards acting.
"Strictly speaking, it's not really a seamless group." Wu Yuan teased: "You still have three days off." ”
"Three days later, the crew was on film."
The preparatory work on the side of "Love Letter" has been completed a long time ago.
During the filming of "Young You", Wu Yuan went to the magic capital for a field trip, and soon found an old western-style house that he was very satisfied with, which has been preserved from the Republic of China period to the present, as the main filming location of "Love Letter".
As soon as he heard that the great director Wu Yuan wanted to rent this place for filming, the owner of this bungalow agreed without hesitation.
The family has already moved to live in the big flat in the city center, and this old bungalow is only used as an ancestral home for regular maintenance, and it is not a problem to lend it to the crew for filming.
And after solving the filming location, "Love Letter" can be turned on at any time.
Because this movie is really simple enough to only need a bungalow, an old street of the Republic of China, and three or five main actors.
Romance films, especially low-budget romance films, are like this, it is just a small story that happens between three or five people, and the important thing is the storyline, not some gorgeous special effects and big scenes.
Wu Yuan, who has been filming "big scene" movies for several years, can also get back to the feeling of filming "The Night the Comet Comed" this time, which also makes him quite interesting.
And within the General Administration, a movie called "Love Letter" has also been quietly recorded.
Originally, the filing of this movie can be said to be quiet, and no one pays attention to it at all.
It's just that after the General Administration routinely announced the monthly film news, some reporters and senior movie fans who paid attention to the website of the General Administration soon discovered this "mediocre" movie.
"Film category: Feature film"
"Record project number: Film and drama preparation [2011] No. 122"
"Title: "Love Letter (Tentative Title)"
"Filing unit: Beijing Light and Shadow Times Film Co., Ltd."
"Screenwriter: Wu Yuan"
"Filing result: Permission to shoot"
"Place of Filing: Beijing"
"Synopsis: The young man of the 21st century, Li Ang, accidentally found a love letter from 85 years ago in a purchased antique table, and he responded to this love letter of the last century with ink and stamps, but unexpectedly there was a love affair between generations."
This new film in the era of light and shadow, which is low-key and recorded, quickly attracted attention inside and outside the circle.
Without him, Wu Yuan's name is written in the "screenwriter" column of this movie.
Although the scripts written by Wu Yuan are not necessarily directed by himself, every movie written by Wu Yuan is a blockbuster movie in the era of light and shadow.
His screenwriting level is recognized as the top inside and outside the circle!
Any movie written by Wu Yuan will attract much attention.
What's more, I don't know where the gossip came out, saying that this "Love Letter" Wu Yuan will direct it himself, and it is his new work to return to the mainland film!
Regardless of whether this news is true or not, after it spread quickly on the Internet, countless fans who have been looking forward to Wu Yuan's new Chinese film are disappointed.
"This movie is a romance movie at first glance!"
"Director Wu has personally carried forward IMAX 3D movies, and last year, a "Avatar" and a "Interstellar" directly revolutionized the global film industry."
"As a result, Director Wu has only returned to China to make an ordinary 2D movie? A romance movie with no 3D, no IMAX, and not even special effects? ”
"Not necessarily, I didn't read the synopsis of the story, is this a generational relationship, maybe the hero and heroine will travel through time and space, shuttling through the past and the future, maybe it's a sci-fi romance film!"
"Sci-fi?! This can be expected! Only Director Wu can make a good sci-fi film in China! ”
"Eh, eh, it didn't say on the record that Director Wu personally filmed it, don't believe this kind of gossip, it is estimated that it is the era of light and shadow to find other directors to shoot, Director Wu has never made a love film."
"How not! "Your Name" is a romance movie! ”
"Upstairs pay attention, "Your Name" is a youth campus movie, not a romance movie, we don't have early love (funny)~"
Although I don't know where the news came from, Wu Yuan, who took Liu Yifei home, opened Weibo and found that his comment area had been flooded.
Half of the fans and netizens are looking forward to this new movie, and keep asking in private messages whether "Love Letter" is Wu Yuan's new movie, whether it is a sci-fi theme, and whether it will be IMAX 3D.
The other half of the comments are all rejection and disappointment, hoping that Wu Yuan will "return to the right path", make blockbusters, make IMAX 3D blockbusters for Chinese people, don't go to any small family romance films, and want tall sci-fi, fantasy, and magic blockbusters!
Of course, there are also some "die-hard fans", whether "Love Letter" is Wu Yuan's next movie or not, whether this movie is a simple romance film or a science fiction film, they all encourage and support him, let him shoot with confidence, as long as it is filmed, he will definitely go to the cinema to cheer.
"Senior brother, you should be the most concerned and the most topical director in China." Liu Yifei, who was lying on Wu Yuan's shoulder, also saw these comments on his mobile phone and sighed: "I don't know what you big directors think, Director Yimou, Director Kaige, and Director Jiang Wen have not opened Weibo." ”
"Director Feng Xiaogang is open, and he loves to update Weibo on the Internet, and last time he called for the restoration of the traditional Chinese characters "pro" and "love" on Weibo. ”
"But as long as he doesn't fire, the topic and attention are not as high as yours."
"Your fans have all run to my Weibo, let me urge you to post Weibo."
"My Weibo is in Sohu, you are in Sina, you can chase it over."
"Haha." Wu Yuan smiled and shook his head, "Are there really so many people urging me to post on Weibo?" ”
After thinking about it, he opened Weibo on his mobile phone and edited one casually.
"Love Letter" is indeed my new movie, this is a love film, a love letter that transcends time and space, fans and friends, stay tuned!" (End of chapter)
