The premiere organized by China Film was very grand, and the entire event was broadcast on the "Premiere" column of the six channels of Yangma. The creators took turns to express their voices, and in the middle were the comments of the creators and the movie by the big-name stars who were in attendance.
Some behind-the-scenes moments from the shooting.
Three words, really lively.
They kept working from eight o'clock until the early hours of the next day. When the host got stuck and shouted: "The world premiere of "Seventeen Again" begins now, everyone sat down and watched the screen go completely black.
Show the dragon logo at the beginning.
It was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
The two heavyweight directors who came to support this time, Jiang Wen and Chen Kaige, were separated by a seat. Jiang Wen suddenly complained:
"I don't like this kind of scene the most. It's useless at all. I think the movie should not work - or not, what do you think, Director Chen?"
Chen Kaige felt that he was blaming himself and snorted coldly.
Jiang Wen disagreed and continued: "I thought the movie was going to be released immediately, but I didn't expect it to be so sloppy. I was so anxious that I didn't get to the point today - it reminded me of some novels I read before, and I thought the next paragraph
That's what I wanted to read. I didn't expect the author to ramble on for a long time..."
Chen Kaige was not polite: "It shows that the author has exhausted his talents and cannot figure out what to write next."
Jiang Wen: "... Then just spend some time for love and love? Time is exchanged for space? I said, writing a book can't be so despicable, right?"
"It's just so mean."
"Good thing you haven't always been so mean?"
"That's also despicable - Director Jiang, stop talking." Chen Kaige raised his eyelids, his face reflected in the cold light of the screen, "The movie starts now."
——
There is a plastic model of a monkey on the desk.
There was no spirit at all. It was hidden under the asparagus for viewing and was pressed firmly. Someone twisted the spring on his back to the end. Sun Wukong then banged the stone with all his strength and tried to stand up with the golden hoop. The tossing sound
It was too annoying, so another person slapped it down.
Let go of the monkey's hand:
Fang Yi's shocked face appeared in front of the camera.
The makeup looked a bit old, so the audience made a little noise.
It was Jin Dong who pressed down on his Sun Wukong. He slapped the table and said, "Yu Huanshui, stop playing around! The person you are visiting today is a big client. I managed to get it for you, with a deposit of 60 million... We are classmates, and now we can be considered as helpers."
You have reached the end of your benevolence and righteousness."
Jin Dong's face softened:
"It's just that you want to drink, you know? Don't show off your bad temper. If you don't want to lose your job, just drink it for free... Your child is in an experimental school, and Gan Hong is having a tantrum with you. Can he let the opportunity pass?
? Don’t worry, I won’t drink you to death.”
Fang Yi nodded and said, "Zhao Juemin, I understand."
After packing up the information, the two of them went to the elevator. In the mirror, Yu Huanshui found that her clothes were not ironed, so she could only keep trying to press them with her hands.
Zhao Juemin saw everything in his eyes and shook his head: "Gan Hong is also becoming more and more irresponsible - money, money, money can stump a hero! But if you make this order, it will always be easier for a while, go buy it for her
Give her a bag and coax her a little, and she will stop making trouble."
The two people's means of transportation was the subway, and Zhao Juemin kept scolding Yu Huanshui and scolding him.
In the process, the audience learned: Yu Huanshui was originally a top student in the computer department of Jinling University. He accidentally met Gan Hong, a native of Jinling, and soon fell in love. At that time, computer jobs were only slightly easier to find in Beijing.
In order to stay in Jinling, Yu Huanshui changed his major to business administration and was assigned to the same department as Gan Hong. After graduation, they both entered banks and were promoted to account managers a few years later.
He has two children, Yu Chen (male) and Yu Miao (female). When they grew up, they were not very close to Yu Huanshui.
The account manager made money quickly and worked at a fast pace. Because she gave birth to two children, Gan Hong, who had asked for leave many times, was transferred to another job and treated coldly, and then lost her job opportunity; Yu Huanshui was very upbeat and did great things. He spent his spare time studying code and did not have any problems.
Forget about your hobbies.
"It's just that you don't know how to please people and flatter others - now it's not enough just to do things well."
Zhao Juemin said of Yu Huanshui: "So you can't be promoted, so I became your leader."
There is also an episode. A new health public service advertisement was shown on the subway. Men couldn't help but watch it, and so did Yu Huanshui. However, after leaving the subway station, perhaps the alternation of hot and cold irritated the nasal mucosa, and Yu Huanshui began to gush.
I had a nosebleed, and I had to wash it off very embarrassedly afterwards.
Zhao Juemin then sighed:
"That advertisement is just scratching the surface. It only talks about it but doesn't care about it...Brother, are you ready to take the plunge?"
Yu Huanshui sniffed and nodded.
Naturally, I was very drunk that night.
When he went home, he vomited violently. Gan Hong felt that the sound was too loud, which affected the child's study, "If you can't hire a good tutor, you can't keep up with the progress, so you have to go home and study hard by yourself. Yu Chen and Yu Miao work so hard... You don't want to
Don’t delay them any longer.”
So Yu Huanshui could only be alone with the toilet, and he was horrified to find that he was vomiting blood.
Gan Hong asked him what happened after staying too long, and that the child needed to wash and sleep. Yu Huanshui could only say that it was fine, but something went wrong. He swallowed and explained that he would send the child to school in the morning.
"What special day is tomorrow?"
"no."
"Then why do you remember it?"
"I'm afraid I won't have much time in the future."
Gan Hong noticed that her husband was not in a good mood, and finally came to comfort him. After delivering the child the next day, Gan Hong was sent away. Yu Huanshui drove to the hospital for a check-up and got the answer:
"cancer."
It makes sense.
Soon, Yu Huanshui was lying on the hospital bed, his face slowly withered. His wife, children, and colleagues came to his bed to talk.
——Guo Fan looked at his watch. It was now a complete setting, the conflict process was over, and new questions were raised. It took a total of twelve minutes, which is in line with the so-called "universal script" of Hollywood's theater movies.
But it's also very mediocre.
There are some clever ideas. For example, the deterioration of Yu Huanshui's condition is reflected through the words of the people who come to visit him, because these words are becoming more and more pessimistic.
Of course, the lighting also played a role. He became brighter and brighter, so this guy is about to ascend to heaven.
When introducing family settings, Fang Yi designed a plot of sliding a smartphone to look at photos. Jin Dong made a joke there to avoid annoying the audience. After the photo slide was finished, Yu Huanshui's life in the past few decades was also finished.
How to deal with ginger wrinkles?
Use lines.
Where is Chen Kaige?
It's hard to say about the rest. At least when it comes to the hospital bed scene, Chen Kaigeji will probably give close-ups to everyone who comes to see him - that's what he did in "The Promise", he likes group portrait scenes too much.
Where is the King of Sunglasses?
Yu Huanshui probably hasn't gotten out of the elevator yet, so she has to admire herself in front of the mirror. She added the line: "One minute before three o'clock in the afternoon on April 16, 1960... Because of you, I will remember
This minute."
There are also some that are slightly more advanced, such as Sun Wukong - well, I can't finish them all, let's talk about them later.
There is a saying that the eternal theme of movies is "revenge, life and death, and sex."
Looking at it now, the theme of "Seventeen Again" was established from the beginning. The audience may not be able to realize it. The director can almost guess the general direction, and of course they won't find it very interesting.
Let’s see if there are any powerful techniques later.
Guo Fan looked back and found that several directors, including Chen Jianbin who was a producer, were like this. They didn't blink much and were really focused on watching, but they were still stuck on the sofa and unmoved. Maybe in their hearts
His judgment is similar to mine.
It's okay, but just okay.
Soon, the first more colorful shot came.
After a few lines about Yu Huanshui's condition, he was put on an electrocardiograph. The sound of "beep, beep, beep" was louder and getting louder.
The sound was like a drumbeat, like a heartbeat. Under the emotional background, everyone knew what was going to happen and couldn't help but hold their breath.
The subject in the lens was replaced by Yu Huanshui's dropper bottle, and a Hitchcockian zoom was used. The dropper bottle hung in the air like a human soul, providing a third-person perspective. The size of the subject remained unchanged, but after the lens zoomed,
The background size changes.
You can see more and more people surrounding Fang Yi's bed. The nurses are running around, saying that they want to do another examination and give it a last try. The doctor frowns and Yu Huanshui tells him something. His relatives hold his hands.
, gradually the sound of the electrocardiograph covered everything else.
Among the hurried "beep" sounds, the last one is longer than the previous ones. The emotion has been heightened at this time. As an audience, you will be very afraid that Yu Huanshui will die like this, and it is natural to think so, because the director is trying to induce you.
Think so.
But listening to the lines is not:
"The diagnosis was wrong. His tumor is... benign..."
His wife seemed to be crying with joy, crying and shaking him, before he completely closed his eyes:
"Yu Huanshui, Yu Huanshui!"
"Yu——Huan——Shui——"
——Teng opened his eyes.
Changed to first person.
"doctor?"
"doctor!"
Yu Huanshui was shouting there, but no one liked him, but judging from his angry shouting, he should be much better. The audience can't see what he looks like now, because it is in the first person, and there is a pair of tender girls in front of the camera.
Bai stretched out his hand and climbed to the edge of the bed with difficulty. He stood up, holding the bottle in his hand, and looked out the window at the lush forest. The afternoon sunlight filtered through the trees and slanted on the bed.
The window is somehow unusually high, and people can't reach it, so they have to climb a bench.
The wind blew, the leaves lifted up, and several row windows creaked, making the whole ward bright and airy.
The camera that provided the picture was also moved to Ye Zi's side, changed to the third person, facing the window of the ward, but Fang Yi was still not visible, and Fang Yi was still not visible.
Finally, in the picture, a hand pushed open the window.
A bottle was placed on the windowsill, and the sound of dragging the bottle holder and the sound of stepping on the bench made people feel itchy.
looking forward to……
The seventeen-year-old boy Yu Huanshui poked his head out and slowly appeared on the screen.
He was lying on the window, squinting and smiling, enjoying the breeze and sunshine. Some windows were about to be closed, but he blocked them with his arms. The needle of the infusion bottle hindered him. He pulled the needle and kicked the bottle holder away, but
He didn't make a harsh sound, but seemed willing to be gentle to him.
As if he knew what was going to happen, the screen paused here for five seconds.
The whole theater shouted "Wow~~~~" for a long time, which completely suppressed the piano music that started to play to enhance the atmosphere.
Liu Tianxian held Fang Yi's hand tightly. She couldn't help but cry. Unable to resist the carefully designed long preparation, she looked at Fang Yi and said intermittently:
"You're better off alive."
Yu Feihong's eyes also filled with tears, and they flowed down unconsciously. A middle-aged lolita spent ten years and tens of millions to make a movie into a novel. She was attracted by Yu Huanshui enjoying the sunshine.
This scene struck her. She had never been in despair in life, but now for some reason, she felt the same way.
Many people are lamenting.
In fact, there are not many people who know about this scene shot in the hospital. The reporters who came to visit the class may have photos. However, a movie is not an isolated frame. Its emotional explosion needs to be supported by the previous one, and it can also be regarded as a magic trick.
, even if the cause and effect are known, the performer must be Fang Yi to get applause.
It makes you sigh in your heart: It is indeed Fang Yi, it must be Fang Yi.
Jiang Wen was not good at pictures, so he remained silent. In his opinion, he didn't like this kind of literary style, but he was willing to admit the excellence of this paragraph.
It was probably an excerpt from our Central Opera textbook, he thought: It’s just hypocritical.
Chen Kaige felt very pleased, because he did this, he likes to do close-ups of characters. However, what Chen Kaige was thinking about here was whether it was Fang Yi's performance and appearance that made this scene possible, or it was Fang Yi's director's visual effects.
Arrangements were made to complete this section.
Forget it, it’s better not to think about it.
On the screen, a series of scenes flashed through:
Yu Huanshui woke up one afternoon in the school infirmary. He quickly adapted to his identity and began to study diligently. With some memory and his newly strengthened brain, he applied for admission to the Department of Computer Science at Jinling University again.
The family is puzzled:
"Computer science or civil engineering? It's hard to find a job in computer science, but civil engineering..."
"Read the computer!"
The graduates tore up the simulation papers and exercise books of the past three years, and the pages were flying. One of them was Yu Huanshui's handwriting and name. It flew back lightly and turned into a notice and returned to him. He opened the "Jinling University"
Ink strokes.
The pen turned into real golden characters, hanging at the school gate. Looking down, Yu Huanshui participated in the freshman report.
Yu Huanshui was very popular at the freshman party. He hid in a corner and saw an older classmate squatting on the steps. The two exchanged a few words:
"I applied for the civil engineering department. I didn't get enough marks. I transferred to this bullshit computer department. It will be useless in the future - what about you?"
"I reported it specially."
"How could... wait, what's your score?"
"I score xxx points."
"What a fool, you are even more unlucky than me! What's your name? I'm Zhao Juemin."
"Yu Huanshui."
The dance after final exams.
He punched him with a fist: "Yu Huanshui, you are so popular, but you look like a little girl and are so lovable!"
"But programming is more fun."
"What are you doing sitting in the library all day? Are you the only one borrowing computers from the library? The leader said that the 21st century is the century of computers, but in the end, his class didn't borrow as many as you did!"
"I'm developing a software."
"You still develop software? Find a girlfriend! Fix your stupid head! University is not for you to waste your time. Don't regret it, idiot!"
One year has passed.
"Are you going to start a company? Your software has actually sold for so much money - even so, wouldn't it be too impulsive to start a company?"
"Zhao Juemin, are you coming or not?"
"Of course I'll follow you."
Once again, he received a love poem written by a girl. Yu Huanshui didn't even read it. He spent a lot of money to buy an HP laptop and put it in his dormitory, tapping the buttons. Zhao Juemin helped him write the rejection letter and excerpted some poems to deal with it:
"The night gave me black eyes/but I use them to find light/my light is not in you/but in the distant and deep starry sky... Yu Huanshui, what do you think of this reply?"
"good."
"I would like to give you some advice! I remember you received a few love letters before. I thought you had finally changed, but now you are back to your old self. Are you never lonely?"
"I'm waiting for someone."
"Who? Did you watch Journey to the West? How do you know there is someone there?"
"I'm still figuring out what this world is like, but changing my lover won't change my destiny. That's not the problem."
"What are you talking about? World? Hello world, are you stupid... Black gave me black eyes/It also gave me an incomprehensible mind/Don't waste time on me/Because I'm a bigot
Stupid Donkey/Yu Huanshui Liu"
One day it rained heavily.
"It's all my fault that you have to come to the library. You haven't been allowed to bring an umbrella since morning. What should I do? I'm going to borrow an umbrella. Don't move around here - did you see the row of bicycles in front of you? They're all collapsed.
, are all fools."
"I've seen it before."
"Hey? There's a woman here out of kindness and helping the bicycle. What can she do on her own? She's so wet...ah! This is not my chance. That woman is very beautiful!"
"Zhao Juemin, lend me your coat."
"What are you going to do? Yu Huanshui? Yu Huanshui!"
4k, two chapters. Sorry for posting this so late, because these chapters are not easy to mess with. I started writing it at 7 o'clock until now, and I have revised it again and again.
