Chapter 191. Problems with the script [ask for subscription]
There weren't many scenes on the first day, and it wasn't difficult.
For Sister Yu, it's a piece of cake.
Sun Yi felt that there was no problem, but he still asked Sister Yu to come over and watch the replay just now, after all, she was the real director.
Yu Feihong looked at it four or five times, sometimes nodding and sometimes frowning.
Sun Yi on the side was particularly helpless.
As for the shots of less than 10 seconds, it needs to be checked so repeatedly?
When Sister Yu finished reading it for the sixth time, she finally cracked the corners of her mouth, and it seemed that she should be satisfied.
However, just as Sun Yi was about to get up and leave, this sister started watching it again for the seventh time, and asked Sun Yi's opinion by the way.
"Xiaoyi, what do you think, what's the problem?"
"Uh, Senior Sister, I think I can get by, there's no problem."
Yu Feihong pondered for a while, then nodded and said, "Well, I don't have any problems with it, then it's over, ok, call it a day today, everyone has worked hard." ”
Sun Yi froze in place and pursed his lips.
You've looked at it so many times, but you haven't found any problems, so you can ask for my opinion.
However, after a while, I was relieved.
It's the first time I've been a director, so let's understand.
That night, the crew returned to the town outside the mountains and had a meal.
When she returned to the hotel, Sister Yu stopped Sun Yi with something in her hand.
"Xiaoyi, give, this is your script, the last time it was sorted out, there shouldn't be much change."
Speaking of which, why did everyone come to the set, Sun Yi only got the script, he was really wronged.
Before I was abroad to participate in the Cannes Film Festival, except for the first few days when I was busy, I traveled the rest of the time, Sun Yi specially called back to China and asked Sister Yu to send him an electronic version of the script, so that he could familiarize himself with it in advance.
Unexpectedly, Sister Yu actually told him that the script was being changed and had not been changed yet.
This is less than half a month before the official start of filming, and the script has not been changed yet.
Sun Yi was very speechless at the time, but there was nothing she could do, after all, Sister Yu was the director, and she was the biggest.
The matter was put on hold until now.
Sun Yi took the script and flipped through it.
Yu Feihong also explained:
"I have been preparing this movie for many years, and the script was actually finalized last year. But because of you, I changed the script. ”
Hearing this, Sun Yi didn't react for a while, pointed at himself, and asked:
"Because of me, why?"
"In this play, in order to find the male lead, I took a lot of effort, under the introduction of a friend, I found Duan Yihong at the beginning, and I was quite satisfied with him in all aspects, but after he read the script, he refused, and finally I looked for him again and again, and he reluctantly agreed."
There's nothing wrong with this, it turns out that it was also starred by Lao Duan.
"Why did he refuse?"
"Well, that, in terms of image, he thinks of himself."
"Oh, I understand, I understand."
Sun Yi understood.
The wheel image, it's really not that he pretends to compare, Lao Duan is really almost funny with him.
Lao Duan plays this role, how to say it, it's not too suitable.
This kind of pure love film, the male protagonist was still the kind of little milk dog character at the beginning, full of poetry and books without being constrained by the world.
And Lao Duan, as long as he stood in front of the camera, his face was weathered, and he almost carved the word "secular" on his face.
The audience's first reaction must be:
"What is the real purpose of this kid, does he still have a second identity, and what is the hidden thing behind this relationship?"
A pure love movie, it can be turned into a suspense film, and the audience will play properly.
Of course, Lao Duan's acting skills are absolutely fine, and it is estimated that Sister Yu chose him at first, and it was more of a consideration in this regard.
Just like Sun Yi wanted to play Yu Zecheng before, it was not a problem of acting skills, but the lack of adaptability to the role.
The actor's fit with the role is very important.
Why Liang Jiahui is called the "Thousand-faced Actor", it is not that his acting skills have reached the point of being alone and seeking defeat, no actor is better than him, definitely not.
Instead, it is said that in the entire Chinese film and television industry, there is a wide range of wheel dramas, and no one can match it.
From the domineering president, the underworld boss, down to the small people in the market, the handsome son, he can play all kinds of roles at his fingertips, and let the audience see it without violating the harmony.
This is the meaning of "Actor with a Thousand Faces".
Looking at it this way, Yu Feihong is still very discerning when he looks for Sun Yi to play the male protagonist Ah Ming.
Yu Feihong saw Sun Yi in a daze, thinking that he had misunderstood, and continued:
"When I was preparing for the beginning, I didn't know you, in the final analysis, after the release of "Those Years", I was deeply touched by the finished film, and I have to say that it is very much in line with what I think of, so I thought of you temporarily, and then revised the script according to your image."
"It's okay, don't worry, senior sister, give me a few days, I will definitely read the script thoroughly."
"Well, I didn't arrange your role a few days ago, it's the time reserved for you to familiarize yourself with the script, and I also know that you just came back from France, and I didn't let you rest for a few days before I pulled it over for you, it's really a bit out of place, but, this movie is really very important to me, maybe this is the first and only movie in my life, I"
Yu Feihong was a little emotional as he spoke.
A woman prepares a movie alone without the help of capital, for several years, and the hardships involved are insignificant to outsiders.
Sun Yi interrupted her, his tone sincere.
"Senior sister, don't worry, I understand, there is always one thing in this life that people want to accomplish no matter what, whether it is a dream or an ideal, I support you, I will go all out."
"Thank you!"
"Alright, Director, hurry up and go back to rest, we have to start work tomorrow morning."
"Uh-huh."
Send away the young women of literature and art.
Sun Yi returned to his room and finished reading the script all night.
How to say it.
There's not much of a problem with the script.
Although it was adapted by Sister Yu herself, Wang Shuo, Jiang Wen and other bigwigs must have helped.
The story is a bit thin, but fortunately, the explanation is quite complete, the historical hatred of the family between the male protagonist Ah Ming and the female protagonist Ah Jiu, the characters of the two, and the choice between love and blood feud, although there is not much ink, but it is just right.
To sum up, it is the Chinese version of "Romeo and Juliet", the mainland version of "Rouge Buckle" and the Republic of China version of "People and Ghosts".
This type of love story is very classic, and it depends on how the director shoots it.
The only problem is that actors are not good at acting.
The script is too stream-of-consciousness.
Just like Mr. Gulong's.
"You're here."
"I'm coming."
"You shouldn't have come."
"But I'm here anyway."
This kind of dialogue is all based on the brain, to imagine the image of the two sides of the dialogue.
It seems that it is full of force, but when it comes to how the actors act, it is a very big problem.
And Sister Yu used a lot of such a stream-of-consciousness writing method in the script to depict Ah Ming in her mind.
This is a challenge for Sun Yi.
Putting down the script, Sun Yi pillowed his head on his arms and sighed with some self-deprecation.
"It depends on what you play, whether it can match Sister Yu's heart."
