The biggest challenge for one person playing two roles is actually the sequence of filming.
Especially for the movie "Love Letters".
Because the characters of Lin Sui and Chen Bing have completely different personalities and temperaments, how to switch between the two during filming was the biggest challenge for Tian Rongrong.
Of course, when shooting such a movie, Li Yi would naturally not be able to choose the most difficult one. After all, it would be difficult for any actor to be perfect if she is asked to constantly switch between different roles.
So when filming the scenes between Lin Sui (Watanabe Hiroko) and Chen Bing (Fujii Shu), they were filmed separately.
The first scenes we filmed were all Lin Sui's (Hiroko Watanabe's) scenes, so that she wouldn't suffer from schizophrenia.
This is not something you say casually.
It is easy for actors to get involved in this kind of emotional drama, but if they switch without listening, Li Yi doesn't think Tian Rongrong can be perfect in a short period of time.
But in this case, another issue is involved, that is, the issue of emotional investment.
Because the plot of the movie is constantly developing, the emotions at different stages are different. For this reason, this is also the biggest challenge in shooting the entire movie.
】
If Lin Sui (Watanabe Hiroko) represents "quietness", then Chen Bing (Fujii Shu) represents "motion".
The previous scenes were filmed fairly smoothly. After all, for Lin Sui's character, the filming always followed the plot.
But soon, the shooting didn't go so smoothly.
When filming, the best effect is naturally to shoot continuously, but this is obviously impossible to achieve completely.
Therefore, when filming, the scene will be divided into many fragmentary shots.
"Scene 38 of "Love Letter", first shot, first time, a!"
This scene is the transition from Lin Sui (Watanabe Hiroko) to Chen Bing (Fujii Shu).
The requirements for Tian Rongrong are relatively high.
This scene is about Chen Bing tossing and turning after receiving the letter and unable to fall asleep. She kept thinking about the letter, so she got up and wrote a reply to Lin Sui.
The original version was typed out on a typewriter, but the national conditions were different. Very few people in China would do this. In those days, conditions did not allow it, so it had to be changed to handwriting.
Of course, these are all minor details. The key point is that Tian Rongrong needs to play Chen Bing (Fujii Shu) this time.
This is a chamber drama.
This scene is very important, at least, it is very important to Li Yi or the entire crew and the entire movie.
Because whether this scene goes smoothly or not, it also means whether the filming of the next scene goes smoothly or not.
Tian Rongrong was lying on the bed.
Tossing and turning and having trouble falling asleep.
"Lin Sui, Lin Sui..."
She kept talking about the person who wrote to her.
Finally she couldn't stand it anymore and lifted the quilt.
"Oh my god, I'm so bored!"
Then she put on a scarf, got up, came to her desk, and started writing a reply.
"To Lin Sui: I'm fine too, but I have a little cold!"
"Ahem!"
She sniffed and covered it with her hands.
Li Yi frowned slightly. Sure enough, he still hadn't changed from the role of "Lin Sui (Hiroko Watanabe)".
"Stuck! Tian Rongrong, at this time, you don't know who Lin Sui is at all. You just think it's funny that the other party writes to you and you reply to her by saying "a little cold" in the reply, so you laugh secretly!"
"The more I think about it, the more funny I find it, but your smile is too reserved. It's not Chen Bing's character at all. You..."
Li Yi naturally knew where the problem lay.
Chen Bing (Fujii Shu)'s character is cheerful and generous, but also a little childish and naive. It can be said that he and Lin Sui are completely different people.
Lin Sui won't have the kind of oblivious and unrestrained laughter lying on the table. This is due to her character. However, at this moment, Tian Rongrong still seems to be stuck in her previous role.
To put it simply, I just can’t let go.
If Lin Sui needs to be restrained in her performance, then Chen Bing's role requires her to be open and relaxed.
How does a person show his character? Temperament?
Sometimes all it takes is the little things.
For example, Lin Sui (Hiroko Watanabe) showed her style. After going through that festival, she looked at the photo album and copied the address on her arm, and her performance can be seen.
Even when she was copying the address, she gave off a very gentle feeling.
Another thing, on the memorial day, the saddest and saddest person was actually her, but she did not shed tears, but the sadness on her quiet face made people even more heartbroken.
But Chen Bing (Fujii Shu) is different. Her character is very generous and lively.
This point can be highlighted from the moment she appears, receives the letter, and then from the time she lies on the bed, tossing and turning, and then suddenly gets up, and then when she writes the reply, she can't help but make herself happy, even though the two of them look alike.
Exactly the same, but completely different personalities.
Back to business.
When he returned to filming, Li Yi was actually not surprised by this. After all, Tian Rongrong's own character, through this period of contact, he found that he was actually closer to "Lin Sui" than "Chen Bing"!
Continue shooting.
This time, Tian Rongrong still couldn't laugh.
The third time, Tian Rongrong laughed, but it was not natural at all.
In fact, speaking of it, "Chen Bing" can be regarded as a character with a relatively low laugh point. Otherwise, he would not have made himself laugh just because he replied to the letter saying that he had a cold.
After shooting several times in a row, Li Yi had no choice but to stop the shooting.
Because it can almost be said that the more you shoot, the worse it gets.
Tian Rongrong also looked very frustrated. It is self-evident how rare this opportunity is for her.
This is Li Yi's movie.
But she had tried very hard, but she just couldn't meet Li Yi's request.
Seeing Tian Rongrong's condition, Li Yi knew that he would definitely not be able to take the scene today. Some scenes can be played over and over again, but some scenes are really not good.
Because no one can maintain their condition after boringly repeating the same scene ten or twenty times.
What's more, this scene is such a joyful one?
"Tian Rongrong, come here!" Li Yi called Tian Rongrong over.
"Director! I'm sorry!" Tian Rongrong's face was not pretty, and she lowered her head to apologize as soon as she came up.
"It's okay, this is to be expected." Li Yi waved his hand. Although he also hoped to finish filming as soon as possible, this kind of movie is really hard on the actor.
"Do you usually watch short videos?" Li Yi asked suddenly.
"Ah?" Tian Rongrong looked stunned.
"No, not much." Tian Rongrong shook her head.
"I'll give you a task. You'll have a day off tomorrow, but after you go back, spend a good day watching short videos. Well, it's best to look for short videos from colleges and universities, okay?" Li Yi said.
"Ah?" Tian Rongrong was a little dumbfounded and didn't understand why Li Yi asked her to post short videos.
In fact, Li Yi had no choice but to do this. The main reason was that Tian Rongrong herself, Li Yi had inquired about, was a rather boring person. She usually liked reading and other quiet things.
Therefore, it is not without reason that Li Yi asked her to watch short videos, especially those funny short videos.
Because this can make her happy and smile more, and brushing more and smiling more will also change her temperament.
