Chapter 1,270 When I feel happy, what I fear most is losing it.
Beth and Roman Calmy, Hollywood's famous model couple, have ripped off the mask.
To be precise, the Karmi couple were never really a loving couple.
When Beth Carmi and Roman Carmi got married, in fact, it was Beth Carmi who needed Roman's fame and the name of Mrs. Carmi to gain a foothold in Hollywood.
A few years ago, she indeed won the Oscar for Best Actress and reached the pinnacle of her career.
However, gradually the conflict between the two completely arose.
After being married for many years, the two have long lost the freshness they used to have with each other. They usually play their own roles, but they just maintain the title of husband and wife.
After all, both of them are celebrities, and they both need this layer of skin.
However, this time the incident of "The Love of Ghosts" burst the false marriage bubble between the two, because Beth Calmi discovered that Roman Calmi or Mrs. Calmi could no longer bring her more happiness.
That’s a lot of stuff.
Coupled with some problems with Romain Carmi, the limit of tolerance has been reached.
In particular, one organization that Roman Calmi joined has always made Beth Calmi very dissatisfied.
So, this time, she had great hope of getting the role of the heroine in "The Love of Ghosts", but the prerequisite was that she had to act in a fake role with the male protagonist, so she made her choice.
The model couple of Karmi and his wife finally became history.
And under the operation of Dean Pictures, it successfully became a booster for the promotion of "The Love of Ghosts".
I don’t know how Dean Films and the Carmi couple negotiated, but the result was that the two parties broke up amicably and got divorced.
Then, Romain Calmi soon appeared in public with a new love, and Beth Calmi also became a couple with Rogers, the leading actor of "The Last Days".
The key is that most of the outside media and the masses don’t think there is any problem.
It can be said that in Hollywood, they are used to this kind of thing. What is curious is that the movie "The Last Day" actually became the catalyst for the breakup of this so-called model couple.
If this had happened in China, it would probably have caused quite a stir. Whether it was a man or a woman, I am afraid that it would have attracted countless complaints and abuses in the first place. But this is Hollywood, the so-called free country.
Liga.
So, it’s just a divorce, what’s so weird about it?
What Li Yi had to sigh was that Rogers and Beth Carmi were indeed authentic foreigners and actors in a free country.
A breakup like that in China, followed by healing and a period of recovery before starting a new relationship, is obviously not suitable here.
The two of them really became inseparable.
He even replayed the pottery-making plot in front of Li Yi. As a result, Li Yi felt absurd, as if Beth and Rogers were true love.
Of course, it's hard to say how long this "true love" between the two will last.
However, this has nothing to do with Li Yi, as long as he can act well and achieve the effect he wants.
So are they true love, how long can it last, will they be in love with each other, and what does it have to do with Li Yi?
The early casting process for "The Love Between Ghosts and Ghosts" has also been officially announced.
The main supporting role, that is, the role of the psychic who can overshadow the male and female protagonists in the original version, was finally chosen to be the "veteran drama star" black actress in Hollywood, Whoopi Stone.
In fact, there are also some top stars like Li Yi in Hollywood, and the black aunt actress Whoopi Stone is one of them.
But you have to say that she is indeed dedicated enough. In order to play this role well, after she decided on it, she went directly to find a famous psychic in Hollywood and lived with him for a month.
The filming of "The Last Days" was a bit more troublesome than "The Sixth Sense".
Because there are more scenes in this film, and there are a lot of action scenes. Of course, the action scenes here are not the kind of big action fights.
But it's actually a little more troublesome. Although it's very simple to shoot this film now, and the special effects of walking through walls, it's naturally a little more difficult to achieve the effect of a movie.
In fact, there are some places that are considered bugs in "The Love of Ghosts", but in Li Yi's opinion, they are not bugs.
For example, why can I walk through walls and doors, but can walk on the ground?
In Li Yi's opinion, this is not a BUG at all.
Just add settings, which can be seen as "want to" and "don't want to"!
And it can affect reality. In fact, in the original movie, it was already hinted that in the subway, Piao is obviously more powerful and can break glass!
Then this can also be regarded as an enhanced version of ability.
If you can't do it at first, it will affect reality, but as your ability increases, you can do it.
On the contrary, what Li Yi thought was a bug was the part where the male protagonist was shot.
In China, robbery can be considered a felony, and the cost of crime can be said to be very high, but here in the United States, it is not. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is simply a common occurrence.
As an authentic old American, it is a bit strange that the male protagonist chased the robber after he was killed even though he had a gun.
Of course, it is not actually a BUG, because people may do such irrational things when angry and excited.
However, Li Yi still planned to make some changes. Of course it was just fine-tuning.
But in the subway, as the male protagonist of Ah Piao was afraid of trains and was pulled back at the last moment, Li Yi felt it was a bit unnecessary. Since it was Ah Piao, why was he still afraid of this?
Of course, it can be said that because we are human, even though we have become Ah Piao, we are not used to it yet.
After careful sorting, the filming of the movie officially started.
The first scene was very interesting!
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Li Yi did not intend to change it, and the first scene was shot in the order of the movie.
It is a scene in which the hero and heroine and their friends poke boards and smash walls together.
Or some people might say, shouldn’t this scene be particularly easy to film?
Of course, this is from an acting perspective. This scene was easy to shoot, but in terms of the setting and props, this scene was really not that easy to shoot.
In order to be realistic, Li Yi specially asked Carlos to find a similar house and take real photos!
Yes, it may be difficult to find old houses like this in China, but it is really easy to find them here in the United States.
The location where Li Yi and the others are at this moment is an old house that Carlos found.
In order to make the photos more realistic and realistic, we only slightly eliminated potential safety hazards and did not deal with the dust, cobwebs, etc. inside.
"Every department is in position!" Carlos shouted with a loudspeaker.
Li Yi's team for filming "The Last Love" is not a new team, but the old team from "The Sixth Sense". Except for a few positions, everyone is an old acquaintance.
"Camera No. 1 is in position!"
"Camera Two is in position!"
"The lighting crew is in place!"
"."
"The first scene, the first shot, the first time of "The Love Between Ghosts"! ACTION!"
As the score fell, the filming of the first scene officially began.
The first shot is an overhead shot from the second floor. Of course, when shown in the movie, it will be a horizontal shot.
It just gives people a shot of someone poking fun at the screen.
"Bang, bang, bang!" Soon, Rogers, who plays the male protagonist, picked up the tool and started to poke the wooden boards on the second floor.
"Click, click!"
Li Yi sat behind the monitor, looking at the camera with a smile on his face.
I have to say, this shot is quite interesting.
The camera looked through the holes they had dug, and the actors began to appear.
"Ahem! Ahem!"
Although Beth, who had her hair cut short and had her long hair cut off, was also wearing a mask, the dust still made her cough and fan her hand.
These are not required by the script, but her instinctive reactions.
And this is also the effect Li Yi wants.
When the dust falls on the three of them, it looks very real, and they don't need makeup.
Then there is a dialogue.
There is nothing to say in this paragraph, but after taking off the masks, the three people's reactions seemed very natural.
"OK, GOOD! This one passed!!"
Li Yi smiled and clapped his hands.
The initial filming of "The Last Love" went relatively smoothly.
Of course, the main reason is that the plot has just begun and there are not many challenges to the acting skills.
During this time, Rogers and Beth were almost a loving couple on the set, and they had no intention of hiding it.
Li Yi doesn't know whether he loves her or not, but it is true that the two of them are very fond of each other.
Of course, the reason for choosing Beth Carmi was not only for this reason, but also because she was really suitable, not only for her acting skills or other aspects, but also for her image.
Although she is over thirty this year, she obviously takes good care of herself, and she is also very good at styling short hair.
Li Yi has seen several photos of actresses with short hair styles, and Beth Carmi can handle this style very well.
While it looks heroic, it also makes people feel that it has a sweet flavor.
On the contrary, she is very similar to the heroine Mei Li in the original version.
The movie "The Last Love" uses a sequential structure of time and space, and the story develops according to the development of time.
It can be said that this narrative sequence is very consistent with Li Yi's preference to shoot according to the timeline of the movie.
Because the way this story is told is based on time as the axis and character development as the sequence.
This structure generally focuses on expressing the external plot and external actions, emphasizing the beginning and end of the story and its continuous development.
It is a very traditional story narrative style that pays attention to the beginning, inheritance, transfer, and integration, is organic and coherent, and has a strong narrative quality.
The action, time and the development of the story have a causal relationship, and the development of the plot has strict logic. Therefore, the order of time and space transformation in "The Love of Ghosts" is arranged in the order of the occurrence of the story and events.
This sequence also makes Li Yi's shooting method smoother.
Of course, filming a movie is never smooth sailing.
Soon, the crew also started to bump into each other.
Especially starting from the moment when the male protagonist Sam is shot and killed, which means he enters the state of Ah Piao.
The shooting started not going so smoothly.
"The twenty-fifth scene of "The Last Love", the fifth shot, the first time, ACTION!"
In this scene, the male protagonist Sam was shot and fell into the arms of his fiancée Mei Li. Mei Li cried out sadly and desperately, while Sam's ghost on the side saw this scene and couldn't accept it.
This scene was shot in two parts.
It can be said that this scene posed a great challenge to the actors' acting skills.
For Rogers, he wanted to play the unbelievable and disbelieving reaction when he saw his fiancée holding him bleeding after being shot.
But he didn't really die, so he couldn't really see this scene.
Therefore, the filming here is not done with real objects.
Li Yi sat behind the monitor and looked at Rogers' performance on the monitor.
"CUT!" Li Yi soon shouted to stop filming.
"Sorry, director, my question!" Before Li Yi could speak, Rogers himself realized that there was something wrong with his performance just now.
"It doesn't matter, adjust it, let's try again!" Li Yi didn't pay too much attention to it. Film shooting was just the most ideal state. In fact, no one could do it.
No matter how many titles you have as Best Actor, it will be difficult to get through any scene in one go.
Actors are also human beings, and movie stars are also human beings. As humans, we will make mistakes.
And the filming of the movie allows NG.
However, the second time, although Rogers' performance was much better than before, Li Yi still frowned!
"CUT! Sam, at this time, when you see your fiancée holding his body, you not only have to show disbelief, but also sadness and fear, okay?" Li Yi said.
"Sad and scared?" Rogers frowned slightly.
"What? Do you have different ideas?" Li Yi asked.
It's completely normal for actors and directors to have different ideas.
"My idea is that at this time, when he saw that he was dead, his mind should be completely blank, so it is difficult to have other thoughts besides disbelief and panic, right?" Rogers expressed his thoughts.
"NO, under normal circumstances, none of us know what his reaction will be. After all, we don't know if there is any trickery in this world, right?" Li Yi said with a smile.
"His sadness is bound to exist. You know, he is a ghost at this time. Moreover, seeing his fiancée looking sad and desperate, how could he not be sad? You know, the biggest reason why he was angry and fought with the robbers was
Because the robber slapped Meili! And he was afraid because he was about to lose the woman he loved so much!" Li Yi said again.
Rogers nodded thoughtfully.
"OK, I understand! Let's do it again!"
"No need to adjust anymore?" Li Yi asked.
"It's no longer necessary! I know what to do!" Rogers shook his head.
"OK, get ready to continue filming." Li Yi naturally didn't say anything else. Rogers was not a new actor, so he needed to teach him step by step.
Soon, Rogers returned to his original position.
"The twenty-fifth scene of "The Love Between Ghosts", the fifth shot, the fourth shot, ACTION!"
