Chapter 259 Rurouni Kenshin, love letter, start shooting.(1/2)
Of course, there must be many difficulties in actual shooting.
For example, in the movie Love Letter, there are many scenes of snow scenes in the movie, but it is already February in the magical city and the weather is spring, so how can there be so much snow?
Therefore, we will only be able to post-edit and use prop snow. If we want to make some important scenes as realistic as possible, we will probably have to go to places where it snows all year round for reshoots.
In fact, the two works of Rurouni Kenshin: Memories and Love Letter are both very excellent works, but if Jing Yu can judge by himself.
Rurouni Kenshin: Memories is the kind of movie that you can easily feel the core of the plot and what it wants to express the first time you watch it. And... the visual effects are definitely better for Rurouni Kenshin.
Attractive.
Love letters are the kind of works that make you feel a little sad the first time you read them, but the more you read them, the more interesting they become.
So if you choose any work as Jing Yu's debut in the film industry...
Both Jing Yu and Cheng Lie unanimously chose the Memories of Rurouni Kenshin.
And according to the schedule...
Although the crew has just been formed and the movie has not yet been filmed, the release date has been initially determined.
The Memories of Rurouni Kenshin is placed in the summer season on July 7th, while the Love Letter is placed a month later on August 10th, Valentine's Day.
"Isn't it a bit rushed? Two movies in half a year."
Although the release time has been initially determined, Jing Yu is still a little uneasy.
"This...Jing Yu, when you were filming three TV series in one quarter last summer, did you feel a little rushed?" Cheng Lie asked back.
"Actually, it's all the same... if it takes a long time, careful craftsmanship may not necessarily result in a good movie, and if the shooting time is longer, it may not necessarily be a shoddy movie."
"There are actually two advantages to our two projects. One is the script provided by you, Jing Yu, and the second is the popularity attached to you, Jing Yu. Shooting will start in February and will be released in July. In fact, by that time, Jing Yu will
Yu, you haven’t appeared in front of the audience of Da Zhou film and television dramas for more than half a year. If the time goes on longer, your popularity will dissipate significantly." Cheng Lie said.
"In the film, television and drama industry, no matter how outstanding a person is, if he does not have continuous exposure, the audience will soon forget him. So... although the time is running out, but generally speaking, the longer it goes on, the more
The worse it is for us... Moreover, we don’t have the budget to support such a large number of people to shoot movies for a long time.”
Cheng Lie pointed to the staff starting to set up equipment outside the studio.
"The two crews of Rurouni Kenshin: Memories and Love Letter add up to more than 200 people. The daily expenses of these people eating, drinking and eating, plus the cost of extras, are a huge number. Our two dramas
The total investment is less than 100 million, and the time is dragging on. Even the publicity funds are probably not squeezed out. It is said to be released in July. In fact, it is best to finish all filming before April or May, and then leave it for a month or two.
Time for post-production...."
When Cheng Lie mentioned this to Jing Yu, he became more stressed again.
It is true that if you go out and work alone, you can reap more benefits.
Copyrights and profits are all yours.
But at the same time, the risks are all your own.
If both dramas are bombed after they are released, then Jing Yu can be said to have been reborn and worked for nothing for two years before returning to the pre-liberation period.
Walking out of the office... Jing Yu looked at the crew laying equipment outside.
but.....
But my heart was very happy.
Because there are no longer those annoying leaders dictating things above our heads!
...
In late February, after the two crews started simultaneously...
In the case of Love Letter, the heroine is Yu Youqing, and in the early stages, there was no drama about the male relationship, so Jing Yu didn’t have to stay on the set of Love Letter for a long time in the early stage.
But the Rurouni Kenshin Memories...that's different.
The story of Jingyu is set more than a hundred years before the founding of the Great Zhou Federation, at the end of the Great Shang Empire.
Like any feudal dynasty in history, at the end of a dynasty, corruption is rampant, corrupt officials are prevalent, and rebellious people emerge like crucian carp crossing the river.
This kind of setting is relatively easy to set up. To be honest, there is nothing to study about the history of the island country in Jingyu's previous life. The Meiji Restoration in modern times made it stronger. Before that, to be honest, the war history of the island country, and
Mainland China is more like fighting in villages and towns.
There are many reformers and other martyrs who fought hard for the country and the people, whether it was Jing Yu's previous life in China or the current history of the Great Zhou Federation. There are a lot of them. Which dynasty did not have such people when they changed? In terms of passion,
, on the loftiness of ideals, even more so.
Of course, since Jing Yu wanted to change his background, it naturally had to conform to the values of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the person the protagonist Jian Xin served naturally had to be the founder of the Great Zhou Federation.
Just like the historical dramas of Jing Yu's previous life, no one would write the protagonist on Chen Youliang's side and oppose Zhu Yuanzhang for the same reason.
And the setting of Kenshin... was that during that period, swordsman killers were dispatched from the rebels to secretly assassinate corrupt officials and politicians.
Then, in the late history of the Great Shang Empire, several assassinations of high-ranking officials in the imperial capital that shocked the whole country were placed on the head of Jian Xin in the play. Among them, even the history textbooks of the Great Shang Dynasty recorded the assassination of Dong Jiao, the last prime minister of the Great Shang Dynasty.
The incident was all arranged by Jing Yu. After all, anyone who has studied in junior high school will know that this incident is still an unsolved case in history.
This gives the character a sense of historical immersion and highlights the power of this character.
As for the background of the character Yukiyo (Yukiyoba), the same principle applies...
It doesn't even need to be changed, she is simply the daughter of a small official. In order to avenge her fiancé who was killed by Kenshin, she was used by the court and dressed as a dancing girl to get close to Kenshin.
The only difference is the character's clothing and weapons.
There are no Japanese swords in the world, but those are not important. The swordsmanship skills that Jing Yu acquired can also be used by the swords of the ancient Zhou Dynasty.
Among them, the weapon Jing Yu uses for Jian Xin in the play is similar to the Tang Dao he used in his previous life.
...
In fact, there are still many media paying attention to the two works in Dazhou.
Although Jing Yu is a newcomer in the film industry, he is a celebrity in the TV drama industry!
Many reporters and TV station personnel want to dig into Jing Yu's two dramas.
In this regard, Jing Yu did not completely stop them.
After all, he is very poor, so he naturally has to take advantage of these free publicity resources, and he will chat with these people when he has time.
The costumes and styles in the play were also disclosed to these media.
So I waited until the end of February...
Among Jing Yu’s fan base, Jing Yu’s black costume style from the Zhou Dynasty has gone viral everywhere.
Dressed in black, holding a long knife in his hand, with long flowing hair, cold eyes, and a handsome and slightly upright appearance.
Although Jing Yu is already twenty-six years old, it still makes sense to say that this image is that of a teenage boy. Appearance is justice!
Whether it's a handsome guy or a beautiful girl, as long as the audience recognizes your appearance and how you set up your character, they can easily accept it.
Likewise...Xia Yining's snow-era costume style...is also shockingly beautiful.
She has fair skin, indifferent eyes, a straight waist, holds an oil-paper umbrella, and wears a white dress.
For Xia Yining's fans, they are very satisfied with the leaked stills.
Although in daily life, after getting acquainted with Xia Yining, you will find that she is talkative and has a lively personality, but if you are not familiar with her... then you will definitely think that she is an ice beauty who treats everyone.
It's because he likes to ignore people.
And with an image like her, it is indeed very suitable to play a three-no beauty like Yukiyo... in terms of temperament alone.
"I can't stand it anymore..."
"I want to see it! Teacher Jing Yu's costume movie."
"Teacher Jing Yu has played the ancient image of Zuo Wei before. It was amazing enough at the time... Now, he is so handsome that I cry."
"I found that costume dramas are the touchstone to test whether a person is truly handsome or beautiful. Many beauties and handsome guys in urban dramas get distracted as soon as they act in costume dramas, and their looks are too ugly to bear to look at. Teacher Jing Yu and Xia Yining
It’s different... I’m addicted to these cps."
"This is the first time that I have such expectations for a movie just because of its appearance. Is it expected to be released on July 7?"
"I just don't know what's going on with Teacher Jingyu's fight scene. Looking at the background of the show and the way Teacher Jingyu holds the knife, there must be a fight scene, right... I hope the same goes for Teacher Jingyu's fight scene.
Handsome.”
...
Fighting... of course there is.
In the Rurouni Kenshin crew, in fact, after filming started a few days ago, Kenshin's master Guqing met young Kenshin and taught him swordsmanship. Then Kenshin went down the mountain for his ideals in order to save this corrupt and cruel world.
The story comes to the perspective of the young Kenshin, played by Jing Yu.
After changing the perspective from the child Kenshin scene to the teenage Kenshin scene...the first thing to be filmed is.
Naturally, it’s Yukiyo’s fiancé Akira (Kyosato Akira) and Kenshin who in the original movie, Rurouni Kenshin movie version, had to be pulled out and whipped more than two or three times in each movie, and each movie lasted for three minutes.
World War I (unilaterally abused).
"Teacher Jing Yu, please pay attention a moment. Although it is a prop sword and has no sharp edge, it is still dangerous. If you feel something is wrong, stop it immediately."
To be continued...
