The scenic spot does not allow the crew to shoot the sinking car scene, although the car will be hoisted out of the water after filming, but the scenic spot still feels that this will pollute the water quality.

This problem is easy to solve, the crew rented a reservoir in the countryside for a short time, and the sunken car scene was filmed here.

Playing the role of the murdered young man who was stuffed into the trunk by the protagonist was captured by Cao Baoping from the students in the acting department of the film academy, a boy named Zhang Wanyi.

Zhang Wanyi originally felt that she was selected by Cao Baoping to participate in Zhang Yuanjun and Gong Li's movie, it was pie in the sky, it was Mr. Cao who took a fancy to him, and she was going to be lucky.

But when he arrived at the crew, he realized that he was thinking too much, Cao Baoping just took the list of boys in the 13-level acting department and ordered one casually.

And this character didn't say a word, he was hit and killed when he appeared, and then he was stuffed into the trunk and sunk into the reservoir.

This is a night scene, and Zhang Yuanjun arrived on the set very late.

Zhang Wanyi took the initiative to shake hands with her senior brother and say hello: "Hello Teacher Zhang." ”

"What level are you?" Zhang Yuanjun asked casually.

"Class 13 undergraduate."

"I ...... I'm 11 levels older than you. "Is time so fast!

The staff on the set all laughed: "You're okay, Lao Li came over just now, and as soon as he spoke, Lao Li was more than 20 levels older than him, but Lao Li's son was seven years younger than him." ”

This......

Most of the staff on the set are still from the film school, and even the directors are from the film school advanced class.

"Now the students in the film school are looking better than the other." Zhang Yuanjun looked at Zhang Wanyi.

"There are a lot of handsome guys in your class, Yawen and Luo Jin, which one is not good-looking?"

"Are they good-looking?" Speaking of roommates, Zhang Yuanjun had no good words in his mouth, "Our class is really strange flowers and plants, crooked melons and cracked dates, and there are all kinds of things." ”

"The live camera is filming, you don't shoot them to make trouble for you."

Zhang Yuanjun smiled: "What we say in private is even more stumbling. ”

The preparations were quickly made, and the two headlights on the scene were hoisted high to prepare the lights needed for the set.

"Get ready, let's fight for it." Xin Yukun's director's chair was placed under the tree next to the reservoir, "Come, go." ”

Zhang Wanyi is not without room to play in this scene, before sinking into the water, he has to wake up in the trunk and look at Zhang Yuanjun for a few seconds, although there is still no line.

Zhang Wanyi designed a lot of staring and pulling in these few seconds, this is the only rivalry scene with the protagonist in his whole play - he will not meet Gong Li.

In the end, he was born in a professional class, and he knew how to find food for himself in a limited space.

But he overestimated his ability, even if he didn't have lines, but when Zhang Yuanjun opened the trunk and the eyes of the two met, Zhang Wanyi's eyes couldn't help but drift away, and he didn't dare to look at Zhang Yuanjun.

"Cards!" Xin Yukun stopped, "Come again." He knew that Zhang Wanyi had a problem, but he didn't say that the newcomer was filming for the first time, so give him a chance.

Zhang Yuanjun stretched out his hand to pull Zhang Wanyi out and asked him to touch up his makeup.

"Yuanjun, come on."

Zhang Yuanjun walked over, Xin Yukun and he walked aside and whispered:

"You bring it, don't press him. Newcomer acting, inexperienced. ”

Zhang Yuanjun felt that this scene was very simple, and there was no pressure scene, but he still nodded: "Okay, I know what to do." ”

Two minutes later, filming resumed.

The emotions that Zhang Wanyi needs to find in this scene are very simple, that is, panic and begging for mercy, in fact, even if he can't, just look at Zhang Yuanjun with wide eyes.

This car sinking scene is expected to be retained for about 5 seconds in the feature film, and only two or three shots are given to Zhang Wanyi.

But the crew filmed for 3 hours, until more than 11 o'clock, Zhang Yuanjun closed the trunk fiercely.

"Cards! The actor comes out. ”

The trunk opened again, and Zhang Wanyi climbed out.

"Go on, get started."

Zhang Yuanjun pushed the car into the water, and the car slowly sank into the water under the overhead shot.

"Okay, it's over, call it a day."

Don't think that the crew is very friendly to newcomers, in the eyes of many staff, such a simple scene was filmed for 3 hours, delaying everyone's rest time, it is Zhang Wanyi's dish.

So at the end of the day, Zhang Wanyi wanted to give the lighting a hand, but was dumped by the lighting master, and complained by the props: "I won't go back to study hard and delay time." ”

Zhang Yuanjun? Zhang Yuanjun took off his makeup in the shed and took the car back to the hotel.

On the afternoon of the 29th, the 72nd Venice International Film Festival announced the shortlisted films of each unit.

The festival opens with the American film "Desperate Altitude" directed by Icelandic director Batasar Komaku, and the closing film is "Lao Paoer" by Chinese director Guan Hu.

In the main competition unit, the most eye-catching is undoubtedly Zhang Yimou's "Fragments of a Woman".

Zhang Yimou has been away from the three major for many years, and "Return" gave up the main competition in Cannes because he wanted to catch up with the domestic premiere, and only went to promote the screening.

It has been 16 years since Zhang Yimou was last shortlisted for Venice, and that time, "No One is Missing" won the Golden Lion Award.

At the launch of the list, Alberto Barbara, president of the Venice Film Festival, paid tribute to Zhang Yimou and welcomed him back to Venice.

Except for "Pieces of a Woman", there are no more Chinese films in the main competition.

But it is also because of "Fragments of Women" that the main competition unit of this film festival has a lot of brilliance.

It must be admitted that Zhang Yimou has a pivotal position in the international film industry, and with his current fame, going to any film festival is to add luster to the film festival.

Because he has a Grand Jury Prize in Cannes, a Grand Jury Prize in Venice, a Grand Jury Prize in Berlin, two Golden Lions in Venice and a Golden Bear in Berlin.

This honor is the best in Asia!

The report afterwards also proved the status of director Zhang Yimou.

The international film press has praised Venice's shortlist, especially Zhang Yimou.

"After 16 years, a generation of legendary director Zhang Yimou has finally returned to Venice." Yes, the foreign media highly admires Zhang Yimou, and a name like a legendary director is not stingy with him at all.

"In the past few years when Alberto Barbara took over Venice, the film festival has not been a success, and I hope Zhang Yimou can save the film festival."

"The 72nd Venice Film Festival has become wonderful because of the arrival of Zhang Yimou."

"In addition to Zhang Yimou in the film, there are also Zhang Yuanjun and Liu Yifei, who have never been active in Cannes, and they will also come to Venice this year."

The couple is still a little famous in the international film industry, especially in the field of literary films.

"Judging from the name and story synopsis, "Pieces of a Woman" will be a female-themed movie, Zhang Yimou has always been stronger than filming women, and I look forward to seeing another Gong Li under Zhang Yimou's lens." Foreign media directly compared Liu Yifei to Gong Li 20 years ago.

But none of these news have been able to make too many waves in the domestic media, so the major film media will broadcast the news of the finalists.

"Fragments of Women" has been completed for a year, and it is almost forgotten by the audience.

However, the opening film "Lao Paoer" bought a lot of hot searches a few days after the list was announced, and the popularity of super talk was relatively high.

It's nothing more than that Li Yifeng is going to Venice, and Li Yifeng has been shortlisted for the Venice International Film Festival.

It's fun up and down. (End of chapter)
