Chapter 362: A Day in the Life of Director Fang Yi (1)
When Hao Bing arrived at the film and television base, the base was busy with two major events. One was a replica of Times Square in Asia's largest studio, hoping to achieve the effect of replicating the real thing and making it invisible to the audience.
For Han Sanping, this is the steamed chicken he got after investing 4 billion; for Fang Yi, he has trained a group of skilled film and television migrant workers, and this group of people is independent of Hong Kong and South Korea.
The team is a purely local force.
―If Times Square can be moved to a studio now, then the Korean War on the Icefield can also be moved to a studio, and more scenes can be moved here. It will become the starting point for a series of magnificent movie masterpieces.
The other is a container that has been placed for a long time. This container is famous because it is stored in the open air without any cover and can even be seen by tourists.
Fang Yi's scene was filmed with onlookers watching.
After Hao Bing spent some time wandering around, he began to write down essays. The structure of his essays was based on a classic biographical formula of seeing the big from the small.
"A Day in the Life of Director Fang Yi."
Let’s take this as the title.
Seeing Fang Yi, who had just been discharged from the hospital, putting on makeup and changing clothes while instructing the entire crew to arrange things according to his ideas, everything was in order. Hao Bing bit the end of his pen and took time to take pictures.
"In January, Wang Zhonglei of China Film and Television participated in the China-Korea Film Festival led by the Ministry of Culture. This film festival attracted a large number of domestic and foreign filmmakers... In fact, it became a declaration of action for various production companies in early 2011. I
I didn’t see director Fang Yi at that time, but he was the box office record holder in the Asian domestic market last year.”
"I was surprised that he didn't come to such an occasion. Later I learned that compared to the various producers who listed promotional videos, he had already started filming a new movie."
"Let's turn our attention back to January. At this China-Korea film exhibition, even though Fang Yi was not there, everyone couldn't help but mention him. Korean director Lee Chang-dong who came from Busan and Baodao's film director
Hou Hsiao-hsien and Hou Hsiao-hsien talked about Fang Yi at the same time. Their original words were: It is difficult to see such a young actor whose physical condition is full of movie shots, and the actor's real acting skills and accomplishments, but can afford the depth of the movie. He can
Broaden the director's selection... I asked them how they evaluated Fang Yi's directorial skills, but they were silent."
"Why does this happen? Maybe it's the pride among directors. Only when Fang Yi is a young actor can directors evaluate him with normal eyes and not hesitate to praise him - this is actually
It's not fair. The glory of his acting career sometimes overshadows his achievements as a director."
"At this film festival, Wang Zhonglei of China Film and Television announced that Chinese films have entered the industrial era. China Film and Television will become a pioneer in industrial films, invest in the construction of a large number of cultural towns, private film and television bases, and develop related follow-up cultural products -
I know what Wang Zhonglei is actually saying, and his target is actually Fang Yi."
"In March (two weeks before the author's interview), Wang Zhonglei participated in the 'Asian Film Awards' held at the Ao Gate, and I met the above-mentioned filmmakers again. At the opening ceremony, Wang Zhonglei said, 'Love Letters'
"It's an accident. Today's film industry no longer allows independent film directors. No one is an all-rounder. Good commercial films need to be the best in special effects, aesthetics, lineup, etc.
"No shortcomings" - this is the second time I have mentioned Fang Yi, because "Seventeen Again" is a comprehensive piece of electronic music."
"Not long after Wang Zhonglei's words fell, "Love Letter" won the two most important awards for Best Film and Best Director at the Asian Film Awards jointly organized by South Korea, Japan and China, as well as Best Cinematography and Best Director.
Best Original Music. After the award, Fang Yi's manager Liu Zhenzhen stacked the four trophies together on the trolley and took a photo of victory - Fang Yi still did not attend, as if he didn't care at all, even the vcr
Too lazy to record."
"As a result, I became very interested in Fang Yi. Few people are so mysterious. Can I unveil him? Now that I have written this, readers are invited to turn to the first page of this magazine, 'Forbes China Celebrity List'
, it shows that Fang Yi ranked second. Based on my above description, I think he can get the first place... As you can see. Although he was not present, it was actually the center of the topic. The reporter was here
This is the first time in my career that Forbes magazine will conduct more rigorous selection of relevant data next year."
As he wrote this, Hao Bing felt that his hands were getting sore. He also saw Fang Yi change into a suit, jump into the container and start performing. It may be that special effects are going to be used here, and Fang Yi's face is covered with the detection required for motion capture.
These densely packed detectors formed a semi-arc shape and shrouded his head. He stared at the large Nasdaq stock display screen without numbers as if there was no one around, and seemed to be very excited.
The extras were not used to this kind of filming and got stuck while delivering their speeches.
When I did it again for the second time, there were new extras who got stuck.
Fellow actor Jin Dong expressed his complaints about the extras, "Be more professional!"
Fang Yi returned to the monitor to look at the footage he had shot earlier. He believed that it was really difficult to perform without physical objects without CG modification, so he expressed his understanding to the extras.
Assistant director Guo Fan announced a ten-minute break to allow the extras to rehearse and memorize lyrics. Fang Yi seized the short time and cooperated with the extras in rehearsing lyrics, ultimately eliminating their sense of discomfort.
When filming started for the third time, Fang Yi was finally satisfied with this sequence.
Hao Bing recorded this little incident in his essay and was immersed in writing. Soon, he saw Fang Yi's completely different behavior.
While inspecting the equipment, the worker accidentally stepped on a mineral water bottle and almost fell down - the workers hired by the film crew are an absolutely vulnerable group, laymen who are even more vulnerable than film and television migrant workers.
Since his status was so low and he was not injured, of course the worker wouldn't shout anything. He kicked the bottle away and continued working.
"Who put the bottle there?"
Fang Yi's voice suddenly became serious, uu看书www.uukanshu.com seemed to be suppressing him
of anger.
The little boss of the props team immediately came out to take over the blame, "I'm sorry, director, I'll pay attention next time."
Fang Yi didn't find out which person it was, so he gave it a chance, but he added: "The appearance of the mineral water bottle in the camera, first of all, makes the movie look bad and makes us all work in vain, which shows that your professionalism is not good; secondly,
It is wrong to throw foreign objects during such stunts, not to mention hurting the actors, but hurting anyone. If it happens, we should be held accountable..."
"Finally, from the filming of "Love After Life" to "Love Letters", our crew has always been very happy with our partners, not causing trouble to others, and leaving no bad shooting records, so every time we rent a venue, it goes smoothly... This
It is not just my request, but also depends on the joint efforts of everyone. "Seventeen Again" is a benchmark movie in the industry. After the project is over, whether you want to stay in the studio or take on the next job, it will
Become a glorious part of your professional resume, including mine."
Fang Yi nodded and said, "So I won't allow it to happen again, you know?"
Everyone: "I know!"
Filming resumed.
After watching the whole process, Hao Bing wrote in his essay: "Director Fang Yi is very smart and mature beyond his years. He is far from being as young as he appears to others - maybe that is just his mask. Now
There is a profound soul hidden in his body, and when he needs it, he will lift a corner of the mask."
