How long did it take to shoot this approximately five-minute pseudo-long shot?
Two weeks.
Sometimes there is something wrong with the actors, sometimes the equipment suddenly stops on the rails, and sometimes the light cannot shine on the faces of the male and female protagonists, preventing the audience from catching the center of the picture immediately.
Light is implicit. In a picture with a strong contrast between light and dark, people will subconsciously look at bright things.
There was an oil painting of Napoleon's coronation. The French emperor at that time asked the Catholic Pope to give him a crown, but Napoleon took the initiative to put on the crown before the Pope could reach out.
In order to guide the viewer's attention, the oil painter Josephine painted all the soldiers around Napoleon in dark colors, but used bright yellow on Napoleon, so that people's eyes will be on Napoleon first.
Then I took a closer look at the expressions of the people around me and found that it was very interesting, so the story of this painting came out.
This film is intended to be both refined and popular - the vulgar aspects have been revealed through various memory clips. The elegant aspects require great effort in filming, so that the audience will be surprised and impressed by the director's imagination.
In "The King of Comedy", before Yin Tianchou confessed, the director did not film how he was struggling, but filmed Yin Tianchou looking at the undulating waves in front of him; after Yin Tianchou confessed, the camera actually looked like a love story,
Say it from Yin Tianchou's mouth, and then fly to the heroine.
These are all very beautiful ideas and really reflect the director's talent.
In fact, there are too many such clips in "Farewell My Concubine". They can be used casually as if for free and can be analyzed frame by frame. Chen Kaige is really very talented, but I don't know why he never did it again.
Can't reach that level.
He is like a sharp knife. He occasionally scores 30 or 40 points wildly, and you think he is going to enter the Hall of Fame. But looking at his entire career, his works are not as good as those of the National Master and others.
Although "Three Guns" was terrible, the National Master did not brag about it and did not send a lawyer's letter.
The supervisor sent by China Film Group visited the foot-washing cities around Harbin, and he did not miss his job. When Fang Yi gradually edited the shots into one place in the following days, when the final product came out, he saw
When the time came, I could only sigh with emotion:
"As expected of someone who won the Best Actor Award at such a young age."
"You are not the youngest actor in the country, you are only two years behind - but you will not become the youngest best director, right?"
Once, the producer spoke so emotionally that Fang Yichang thought about the future.
"Domestic support is provided for films that can be exported, both financially and in terms of reputation. Now there are two categories of films that are easy to win awards. One is the main theme film, and the Golden Rooster Award is their exclusive territory."
"The other category is movies like yours. The first and second parts of "Red Cliff" were so bad, and they mainly used Hong Kong and local teams; but they were famous in other Asian countries and brought face to the country, so they even gave awards to Golden Rooster Watches
.”
"Huabiao even gave outstanding co-productions - maybe based on overseas box office."
"Those who do art are different from those who engage in politics. We not only allow people to be in the limelight, but also want people to be in the limelight. What we like most is to become famous at a young age. Everyone will help you."
Fang Yi responded with a few words without thinking much.
For the film "Love Letter", with his current team of people and the shooting style, he would rather believe in winning awards in Japan and South Korea than in mainland China - unless it is made into a scar movie.
, similar to scar literature.
That is to say, to increase the dark, deep and residual parts, to torture and reflect on the education system, to be sad to the end, to show one's helplessness in the times... In this way, even if the mainland does not like it, Jinma will definitely like it too.
If you really win the Golden Horse, it will be more effective than winning Best Actor at the Tokyo Film Festival. The Golden Horse is currently the number one award in the Chinese film industry.
After two weeks of long-shot shooting and a week of transitional scenes, the film began shooting the first Gao Chao scene.
It was also the beginning of the sublimation of the relationship between the two: the sports meeting.
The male and female protagonists, who are good students, were each named by the teacher to participate in the 1500-meter run - no results were required, but participation was required.
In the Japanese version of Love Letter, there is the same scene. In order to make the heroine remember him, the hero participated in a sprint race, but was temporarily injured and could not compete.
However, when the sprint race started, a male protagonist with a cane turned out from the side of the road and tried to run with him - of course he couldn't run, and he fell to the ground in embarrassment.
The heroine doesn't know why the man did this and why he didn't protect his legs. This is because in Iwai Shunji's version of "Love Letter", the heroine did not understand the hero's feelings from beginning to end. This is a posthumous event.
Unrequited love that I just realized.
This is indeed the beautiful part of the movie. There is really no twist. After all, the male protagonist died later, and it was a complete twist.
Fang Yi didn't want this, he wanted to take care of the box office.
Death does not have to be physical death.
In fact, until now, apart from the similar names and borrowed settings, the entire movie has basically nothing to do with it. Maybe when the movie is released, Iwai Shunji will come to Fang Yi to settle accounts and file a trans-oceanic lawsuit.
——In "The Swordsman: The Undefeated of the East", Mr. Xu changed Jin Yong's original work into a mess. Jin Yong used the word "The Undefeated of the East" to refer to someone secretly, but Mr. Xu changed "
"The Invincible East" has become the most charming character in the whole drama; "The Swordsman" tells the story of power that makes people crazy, Linghu Chong is willing to retire from the world, and Mr. Xu uses the character's mouth to say his own words:
"There are people who are in the world, and people are the world. How do you withdraw from it?"
Jin Yong’s setting has been fundamentally changed.
The key is that the box office is still very good, and it even ranks among the top ten in the annual box office in many regions in Asia. Dongfang Invincible was originally a disgusting ugly ghost, and since then, many film and television dramas have cited the evil spirit of Old Monster Xu for the sake of box office.
Change the settings, and even, it will be a direct showdown, Dongfang Bubai is just a girl.
It’s no wonder that Jin Yong criticized Mr. Xu’s version as “the version I disliked the most, and I changed it randomly”, and even planned to sue him.
On this day, the 1 million yuan donated by the black-hearted capitalist Zhang Chaoyang finally worked. After the morning exercises, the school asked the students to stay for a while, gather around the playground, and pretend to cheer.
The students were so happy and grateful to the capitalists for their kindness.
Liu Tianxian was running desperately inside. It wasn't snowing in Harbin, but she was still breathing cold air. Her face was flushed while running, and white smoke was coming out of her hair.
I simply couldn't run anymore.
After running to a certain place, Fang Yi saw the photographer's gesture and jumped out of the crowd, following her along the edge of the runway.
There is also a camera mounted on a trolley that moves horizontally.
"Stop running, no one cares whether you win first place or not."
"I care."
"No matter how good a student you are, you can't be the best in everything. You don't need to prove anything, you are already good."
Didn't get an answer.
Naturally, the male protagonist thought he had offended the female protagonist. He was originally a taciturn person and followed the race in silence. At the finish line, students who persisted would be supported and given water by other students.
When she just crossed the line, she fell down because she had no strength anymore. The male protagonist went to help her, which seemed like a hug after the finish line.
"Click!"
Fang Yi wiped off Liu Tianxian's sweat and tried to push her away, "I'm going to watch the clip just now."
But as soon as he left, Liu Tianxian fell to the ground again.
Good guy, I picked her up. It's really not light. Didn't I say that I was working out? What kind of body is that?
"What's the matter with you? Are you too tired?"
"I'm so tired, I'm so tired."
She blew her hair so that she could rest her head on Fang Yi's shoulder.
No one on the crew talked about them.
After a while, classmate Liu, who was very tired, still refused to let go.
Fang Yi said: "Although I don't mind, and they don't talk nonsense, you have to take into account the impact in middle school. Those are real high school students."
She jumped up immediately and felt like countless eyes were pricking her, "You didn't tell me earlier."

That painting seems to be about the emperor crowning his queen. It is inconsistent with the real history. Is it specifically an artistic creation or is it to avoid taboos? I don’t know about this. I will only mention its composition in this chapter.
