Chapter 589. The Great Liar and the Elevator God of War [2-in-1]
Fan Bingbing appeared in Cannes in a Chinese dragon robe, shocking a group of foreigners; Liu Yifei and Leonardo stand for "Inception"; Gong Li single-handedly carried the crew of "Hidden in the Dust". At this year's Cannes International Film Festival, Chinese filmmakers are attacking strongly! β
"The opening film, Inception, has received widespread acclaim for its unbridled imagination, gripping storyline and superb special effects scenes. Fairy sister Liu Yifei contributed a wonderful performance in it. β
"Wang Xiaoshuai's "Rizhao Chongqing" was well received during the screening, and Wang Xueqi's performance left a deep impression on foreign audiences."
"Director Sun Yi's "Hidden in the Dust" was called the biggest surprise of this Cannes Film Festival by the European media, Gong Li's performance in the film is still impeccable, and the actor Wu Renlin is even more eye-catching, and many foreign audiences even asked this reporter who is this actor?
"A French audience member said in an interview: 'Actually, he didn't recognize these oriental faces, but he read the feelings of the actors through the film, and he was deeply moved.'" β
"Before the deadline, the film festival has passed the halfway point, and the situation of the Chinese army is very good, and I look forward to winning the award in the end."
The next day, on the set.
"Welcome to continue to pay attention to the special report of the 63rd Cannes International Film Festival of this newspaper - forward reporter Liu Yun."
Liu Yifei was full of pride, and she praised me quickly.
After venting, I had to pick up my mobile phone again and send a group text message to the staff who came with me this time.
There was a loud shout in the elevator, and several people in ambush rushed over together, but because of the angle, there were only two people at most at a time.
Don't look at Liu Yifei, who is usually coquettish and often petty, but at the critical moment, she is still very knowledgeable, and she also knows that it is not easy for Sun Yi.
"What, people want to call you when they want to, why do you want to kill someone, did I say anything?"
He thinks that this film is a literary film with a little commercial element.
Of course, the ringtone is also what she asked Sun Yi to set up, just like her mobile phone ringtone is "Love a Little Little" sung by the two.
It can be regarded as another precedent after the continuous success of Chinese films in the three major European film festivals in the 90s.
The essence of commercial films is to make the audience feel cool, and literary films are basically to make the audience think, but who said that you can't make the audience feel cool at the same time, but also think about it a little, or add some cool factors while triggering the audience to think.
There was an immediate burst of laughter on the other side of the phone.
He couldn't help but praise the movie: "That's not thanks to my producer Liu." β
Even many "old-timers" began to jump out of the bitter persuasion again, with that heart-wrenching look, as if Chinese movies would not work without them at all.
Therefore, Sun Yi has to seize the time to finish filming "New World" in the remaining week, at least when "Hidden in the Dust" is released, he, the director, has to appear.
But there is also a famous scene of "Elevator God of War" in this film, Sun Yi is reluctant to give up, and he must shoot the effect, so he can only work slowly and carefully.
Zhang Songwen first defended, trying to turn sideways as much as possible, preferring to be cut rather than being stabbed. Look at the right time, stand up and kill, grab one person is to stab a few times, and then, regardless of the state of the other side, immediately retreat to the corner and defend again.
Okay, I'll make you laugh, let you speak a foreign language, and when you come back, let you talk enough!
But to be honest, the process of this scene in the original book is simply full of loopholes, fake at a glance, you can casually see that someone released water, and the knife was all deliberately pierced into the air, which is completely the result of the protagonist's aura.
Well. Negative.
"Changed."
"Brother, our movie is very successful, the media here are unanimously praised, and the audience's response is also great, not only you, the director, but even Teacher Gong Li and Uncle Wu have been unanimously praised by them."
Liu Yifei was obviously a little unhappy, and there was even a hint of grievance in her tone.
Sun Yi is not very good at action scenes, although he made up for it before filming and temporarily recruited action directors, but he can only come little by little during the actual shooting.
Just when Sun Yi was paying attention to the news of this year's Cannes Film Festival, as if he had a heart, Liu Yifei's phone called.
"Speak Mandarin, ok?"
Of course, Sun Yi knows that the results of the movie are inseparable from the intensity of the screening and publicity, and in this regard, it is obvious that Xiao Nizi has put a lot of effort into it.
French
Sun Yi is a black line on his face.
Another one, Zhang Songwen is not an action actor, although he started training under the arrangement of the action director a long time ago, but this film has only started filming for more than half a month, and he has other scenes in his body, saying that it is training, in fact, there is not much time at all.
"If you dare to lie to me, you look at it, big liar!"
"Brother Qing, go quickly, there is an ambush!"
It's a rehash of the same old tune, or a dispute between commercial films and literary films.
In the final analysis, it is still the selfishness of those directors who are too selfish, always thinking about entrainment of their own private goods, and the audience doesn't like it, so they feel that the audience's appreciation level is too low, and they don't put the audience first at all.
"Well, didn't you say yes at the time? I'll come first, and then you join me, you now."
Say what:
"Over-commercialization will completely kill Chinese-language films, as evidenced by this year's Cannes. A group of directors are rushing for money to make commercial films, so there is not a single decent movie. β
He wasn't sure he understood what it meant.
"Uh" Hearing this, Sun Yi was a little embarrassed, and after being silent for a long time, he replied cautiously: "That, Sissi, I may not be able to get over this time." Immediately afterwards, for fear that Xiao Nizi would be angry, she hurriedly explained: "The progress of the crew here is not very good, I have been back and forth for at least 3 days, which is a bit too delayed." β
Although he knew that this was Xiao Nizi's routine of giving a stick first and then a sweet date, Sun Yi still inevitably felt a crisp in his heart, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously raised.
Therefore, this time in Cannes, he has no time at all.
The action director next to him also began to give the final advice to Zhang Songwen and several "martial arts actors", and he pointed to one of the bald stuntmen and said to Zhang Songwen:
"No, no, just no, I didn't say anything!"
Every session of the three major European ones can attract strong attention from the domestic media, and Sun Yi will inevitably see relevant information in the Hong Kong Island crew.
The scene of "Elevator God of War" in the original book is famous for its result, Ding Qing won in the elevator with one enemy and six.
The director is not there, the male and female protagonists are not there, and the whole crew is no one at all, if it weren't for the Cannes Film Festival to support it, it would really not be a topic at all.
A prop elevator room has been completely set up, and the staff is busy in an orderly manner, arranging the booths and adjusting the lights
"Brother Li, the first scene should be facing the elevator door, see the ambush inside, and the second scene should be shot from the top to reflect the interior of the entire elevator, and then start to push the close-up scene, and finally put on a close-up."
"You just said I didn't have a text."
"That's good~."
There was a shouting and scolding from the garage, and then a group of people in suits, armed with machetes and steel pipes, came up in a rage.
Just when Sun Yi thought about the posture of Xiao Nizi returning to China and being beaten, she played coquettish again, and said to Sun Yi greasyly:
"Brother~I miss you all ~"
"No culture."
Good men don't dare to fight women, Sun Yi chose to turn over this piece, but he didn't expect it
"I didn't say why you murdered me. Apologize! β
It's totally achievable.
Sun Yi's "New World" doesn't dare to do this, although this small action scene will not affect the classics of the whole film, but his film can be used to suppress the Hong Kong circle, and it will inevitably be provoked by these people frame by frame, so he can't allow a little sloppiness.
Therefore, when Teacher Gong Li came to persuade Sun Yi to let "Hidden in the Dust" run, Sun Yi only briefly considered it and agreed directly.
If you know a foreign language, is that all you need to do??!!
It's good, and it's so stupid to pretend to be one-handed.
At that time, only "Rizhao Chongqing" directed by Wang Xiaoshuai was announced to have passed the primary selection, but it only entered the list of awards in the "One Kind of Concern" unit.
The boundary between commercial films and literary films is not that big at all.
There was a smirk on the phone, followed by a sweet and greasy inquiry.
"Liu Qianqian, I don't think you're going to come back, are you?"
Don't take such a bully.
Coquettish fairy sister, who can resist it.
"Stop!" "Shovel~" "Lose your mother~"
The service industry also knows that the consumer is God, in the film industry, the whole thing is reversed, the director is God, you can watch what you want, it's not good to say.
Needless to say, the reality of the peasants at the bottom is definitely something that can be thought-provoking, and the relationship between the male and female protagonists is a manifestation of the coolness.
As soon as the phone was connected, Liu Yifei's excited voice came from the microphone, but the content caught Sun Yi off guard.
The number of people here is obviously much smaller, outnumbered, and as soon as they take a look, they fall into disadvantage.
I thought that the elevator would be the last way to survive, but I didn't expect that there was still an ambush inside.
This is already the only seedling in the entire Chinese film circle, including Hong Kong and Taiwan.
"Fuck" "Grass! "Give me death!"
"Okay." "Understood."
Zhang Songwen was covered by the few remaining younger brothers, and retreated again and again until the elevator door.
Sun Yi wanted to make money standing on this movie.
"Okay, okay, you didn't say it."
"I love you, fearless of the crowd of people, the courage to use up the rest of my life"
Wipe!
Sun Yi was speechless, this was a scoundrel, and finally gritted his teeth and replied word by word:
"Okay, I ~said~wrong~."
There are not only thought-provoking things, but also the box office of commercial films.
"Sissi, I'm sorry, I'm really late here, I'll compensate you when I'm done with this, okay!"
It's unreasonable.
"I've practiced many times, remember to use his body to block you in front of you during the actual shooting, and you have to lean on the elevator corner at the first time, leaving only your front, according to what the director said, Ding Qing was killed from the bottom little by little, and this fighting experience must be there."
Suddenly, the views of various Chinese films in China going down were noisy.
βChΓ©rieβ
At this time, Zhang Songwen changed his smiling face from the past, his expression was fierce, and he took the initiative to rush into the elevator, relying on inertia, fighting to be stabbed, directly sticking to a bald body, and then forcibly snatched the sharp knife in his hand, regardless of a burst of stabbing.
There's no cover-up.
Hanging up the phone, Liu Yifei threw the phone onto the bed angrily, and then his eyes froze, as if comparing the phone to Sun Yi, and said through gritted teeth.
In this regard, Xiao Nizi has no consciousness of celebrities at all, and what ordinary couples do, she does too, and it is not bad at all.
Sun Yi couldn't attend, so their previous arrangements needed to be revised. For example, what if you win a prize?
Some people will say that they have been abused to this extent, how can they be called cool?
Isn't it a manifestation of a sense of coolness?
Immediately afterwards, he locked the bald body, used him as a shield, and leaned directly against the corner of the elevator.
"What about you. When are you coming? β
Sun Yi secretly made up his mind.
"On the day of the premiere, Director Nolan and Leonardo came, and they all recognized it very much, especially Leonardo, who was not as good as me as a girl, and his eyes were red."
"Hey, hey, hey"
Lao Li nodded solemnly, and then began to order the rocker arm of the second position to start raising until it was directly above the elevator.
But after experiencing such a movie, he felt that this idea was too superficial.
After several repetitions, all the elevator people were stabbed to the ground by him, and he was also covered in blood and fell in a pool of blood.
Thousands of miles away, Sun Yi seemed to see Liu Yifei's smug face, and couldn't help but threaten.
The group that was happy just now was instantly lost, and she was planning to play with Sun Yi in France for two days.
However, these old guys can be regarded as having an increased memory, and they dare not completely deny commercial films, and they are more cautious, calling it excessive commercialization
In fact, Sun Yi's earliest thinking was the same as theirs, thinking that commercial films are commercial films, and literary films are literary films, and the two are very different and have nothing to do with each other.
If you don't fight for three days, you will go to the house to uncover the tiles, which is really a wise saying.
The release date of "Hidden in the Dust" was scheduled for June 4, and now the pre-promotion has begun, but the effect is mediocre, because there is no roadshow at all.
Zhang Songwen nodded at the same time as several group performers.
"Three, two, one, go."
I have to say that the director's imagination is very rich, action movies have been filmed for so many years, all kinds of routines have basically been filmed all over, and the scenes in the elevator are not nothing, but it is the first time that there are multi-person action scenes in the narrow scene of the elevator.
On Hong Kong Island, Sun Yi re-approved tomorrow's shooting plan, and the crew's progress during this time was stuck in action scenes.
But in fact, for many people, the more they abuse, the more they like to watch.
He remembers that when he didn't come to Hong Kong Island a month ago, the domestic media was still very pessimistic about this year's Cannes Film Festival.
His chest rose and fell rapidly, the wounds on his body were still gurgling with blood, but his eyes were full of murderous intent.
"Okay, pass!"
