When Li Yi's team shoots a low-budget, weak-scenario movie like "Lu Binghua", it is simply killing a chicken with a sledgehammer.
Therefore, the shooting process was very relaxed and enjoyable.
Unlike other big-budget productions, which are as painstaking and labor-intensive as they are, to put it bluntly, the plot of "Lu Binghua" is actually very simple, and the key point is that although it expresses a lot of things, it is ultimately just a children's-oriented movie.
This kind of movie can be called retro. In fact, in this era, few people are willing to tell stories in this way.
It seems that if you don't show off your skills and use some high-end, atmospheric and classy lenses, you can't make a movie.
To be honest, Li Yi is quite puzzled sometimes. In his opinion, isn't making a movie just about telling stories?
Of course, it's also possible that he doesn't feel back pain while standing and talking. After all, the movies he makes have references.
Other directors have no reference when making movies, and they have not been tested by the market. God knows how the audience will judge the results.
Therefore, most of the time, it is natural to keep up with the trend of the times.
This also leads to the fact that the styles of Li Yi's movies seem to be very similar, but in fact they are one movie and one style.
For example, "Alang's Story" and "Lu Binghua" are completely different styles.
Of course, the filming process was not entirely smooth sailing.
In fact, film shooting, the atmosphere of the crew, and the plot of the filming are also closely related.
If it is a comedy, the crew may be filled with laughter during the filming process. After all, if the people filming and producing the film don’t find it funny themselves, then how can they entertain the audience?
In the same way, if it is a tragic film, then the atmosphere of the entire crew will be infected during the filming. Just like when filming "Mom Love Me Again", the crew many times because of the people on set
I cried bitterly due to infection and had to NG.
"Lu Binghua" is also such a movie.
In the early days of shooting, everything was so beautiful and so joyful.
A good teacher and a naughty but talented student make the crew show a knowing smile from time to time.
However, the show took a turn for the worse in the second half, and the crew was no longer as cheerful and relaxed as before, and began to become a bit dull and depressing.
Especially the scene when Gu Amin was sent to the hospital.
The crew members also realized that the following story would not make everyone so relaxed.
This is also true.
In fact, it is difficult to shoot a scene that is too cheerful, and it is also difficult to shoot a scene that is too sad.
For example, the scene where Teacher Guo Yuntian leaves.
In this scene, Teacher Guo Yuntian took action in anger because of A Ming in school, and his momentary anger made it impossible for him to stay here any longer.
Of course, the key thing to shoot is the scene where Gu Aming watches the teacher leave.
This scene is actually not that long, but it is not that easy to shoot.
The scene in the back where Gu Aming chases after him is a little better. After all, there are no close-ups. However, the close-up of Gu Aming's face watching the only teacher who admires him and thinks he has a high talent in painting leaves, is so interesting.
It is the biggest test for an actor.
"Every department is in its place!"
""Lu Binghua" Scene 78, second shot, first shot, Action!"
"Camera No. 1, a close-up of Gu Amin's face!"
"Seat No. 2, follow Teacher Guo!"
Li Yi commanded through the intercom.
The young actor who plays Gu Amin is not a professional actor after all.
When the close-up shot started, Li Yi frowned slightly.
However, he did not shout to stop, but continued to read.
Gu Aming watched the teacher leave. At this time, he needed to catch up. The assistant director outside the camera was already timing the time. When the time was up, he signaled to the actor playing Gu Aming to run away.
"Camera No. 1, please continue to take close-ups of Gu Amin's face!"
When Gu Aming stopped and looked at the departing teacher in the distance while panting heavily, Li Yi said on the intercom.
"Click!"
"Gu Aming, come here!"
In order to allow the actors to get into the role, basically everyone on the crew did not call them by their original names, but directly called the names of the characters in the film.
The handsome little actor walked over.
He seemed a little uneasy.
Li Yi didn't know how to talk to him for a while.
After thinking about it for a long time, Li Yicai said, "Well, do you have a teacher you particularly like?"
Gu Aming tilted his head and thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "No!"
Li Yi was a little helpless. When talking to a young actor, you can't tell him, oh, what kind of expression and what kind of emotion should you show at this time.
Because it is actually really difficult for them to understand these things.
And even if you understand it, the traces of the performance will be very obvious, so when filming this kind of scene, how to explain the scene to the young actors has become a very critical link.
In this scene, Gu Amin's reaction is the key.
Guo Yuntian is the only teacher in the play who truly recognizes him. Even he left, whether it was for A Ming or the tedious worldly affairs. In the future, no one will praise him, guide him, or support him.
, that "fool" he met on the first day will not accompany him.
Gu Aming was ill, and the illness was not serious. Guo Yuntian left at this time. For Gu Aming, in addition to being reluctant to leave, he was also confused, confused, or even a little bit complaining.
He was reluctant to give up because this "fool" he met on the first day was the only teacher who recognized him. When everyone, including his own father, did not recognize him, it was his appearance that made his world different.
The wonderful things gave him a chance to show off his painting talent.
But he left, he didn't know why, and Teacher Guo also said: "Don't ask why!"
But how could he not ask?
It was you who said that I was good at painting, you who said that I was very talented and a genius.
You said it.
But you just left.
He must also have some complaints in his heart.
But this display of complex emotions could not be understood by him just by talking.
Li Yi originally wanted to bring Gu Amin into other similar scenes so that he could show these emotions naturally, but the first question was rejected.
Li Yi could only continue to think of a way: "Do you have any particularly close friends?"
"Yes!" Gu Amin gave the answer directly this time.
"Then what if your particularly good friend suddenly wants to leave here one day?" Li Yi tried to ask.
"What would you have thought at that time?"
"A Bin's words." Gu Amin began to fall into imagination.
Li Yi couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.
"You just think that Teacher Guo is your best friend, called Abin, right? You two have many appointments to do, but he suddenly leaves one day. What will you think at that time?"
