In fact, the style of "Happy Family" has some shadows of Hong Kong's nonsensical comedies.
Therefore, it was really much easier for Li Yi to shoot than many previous movies.
It can be said that a large part of "Happy Family" is indeed a comedy. The twist in many movies may be at the last moment, but the beauty of this movie's twist lies in its suddenness!
Because time was really tight, Li Yi didn't make any fancy publicity.
After selecting the character, start the game immediately.
The filming scene of "Happy Family".
Li Yi was very relaxed this time, because since he agreed to let Tang Lu's son Tang Jun be his assistant director, some uncles from Hong Kong Island and some seniors from the film school have started to think about it.
, said hello one after another, wanting their juniors to come work on Li Yi’s crew.
In fact, it is gold-plated!
Li Yi is naturally capable.
In fact, even if you look at these second-generation directors or second-generation actors, they seem to have little reputation now, but after all, they come from a family background, so their abilities are still pretty good.
Li Yi made arrangements after simply giving it a try.
The result is indeed very good, especially Tang Jun. Although he is meticulous in doing things and seems to lack spirituality, for Li Yi, what he needs is not an assistant director who is too thoughtful. If you have an idea, keep it here. On the contrary,
For young people like Tang Jun who are dedicated to doing things, he especially likes to use it.
Therefore, Tang Jun basically became the leader of these related households.
What he did was indeed good, and Zhuo Yixiong praised him all the time.
"I announce that "Happy Family" is officially launched!"
"Every department is in its place!"
"The first scene of "Happy Family", the first shot, the first time, ACTION!"
As the clap fell, the filming of "Happy Family" officially started.
The first scene was actually not that easy to perform.
Although the narration and filming are separate, the first scene is about swallowing pills.
Cha Tae Hyun's performance in the original version is indeed quite distinctive.
Because he originally had a "bitter melon face", so even though it was a very sad scene, he didn't deliberately act in a comedy direction, but when people saw his bitter melon face, they couldn't stand it.
Can't help but want to laugh.
Because, I always feel that his pouty look, after all, his slightly chubby face, naturally has a sense of comedy.
Some people are really born with that feeling. Even if they are acting in a tragedy, they always make people feel like a comedy.
Zhou Xing and the original Cha Tae Hyun are actually two different styles. Zhou Xing actually looks quite Zhou Zheng. Although he is not so handsome as to be scumbag, in fact, his facial features make it difficult to say that there is a sense of comedy in his face.
feel.
Zhou Xing was obviously prepared for this scene.
In order to allow Zhou Xing to integrate more quickly, a section of his voice has been recorded in advance for narration.
"On Children's Day, different people always come to the orphanage. Although many people ask me my name, no one remembers my name!"
Along with the narration, Zhou Xing began to stuff medicine into his mouth.
But the next moment, Li Yi shouted cut!
"Zhou Xing, what are you doing?" Li Yi was indeed a little annoyed. The first scene may not be the most critical, but its importance is self-evident.
Li Yi didn't really care if he couldn't pass the first scene and took a few more shots, but the key point was that Zhou Xing actually made such a low-level mistake!
"Sorry, Director Li, it's my problem!" Zhou Xing apologized quickly.
"When you put the medicine in your mouth, you have to separate it from your emotions. What I want is that although you are putting the medicine in your mouth, in fact, it feels like you are unconsciously immersed in your own emotions.
In despair and sadness, do you understand?" Li Yi couldn't help but mention it again.
This first scene is actually just one sentence. To put it simply, it is about performing: "What does my taking medicine have to do with me?"
"You shouldn't understand. Why did something go wrong after taking the medicine for the first time? What exactly was the problem?" Li Yi always felt that Zhou Xing's performance shouldn't be so bad.
"Ahem, what is this medicine made of? It's too bitter!" Zhou Xing couldn't help but complain.
Forehead?
Li Yi suddenly became Spartan.
Then he turned his eyes to Tang Jun.
"Director Li, didn't you say that everything must be realistic? Therefore, we specially customized this medicine. It looks exactly like sleeping pills. Even the taste is similar!" Tang Jun said seriously.
Li Yi is completely Spartan, and this damn senior brother Tang Lu doesn't seem to be so exaggerated, right?
"Is it very bitter?" Li Yi couldn't help but ask.
Zhou Xing smiled bitterly and nodded: "It's very bitter!"
"Isn't it right? Are sleeping pills that bitter?" Li Yi always felt that Tang Jun was shaking him.
"Will there be any problem if you eat this thing?" Li Yi asked again. He always felt that this thing was a bit unreliable.
"Definitely not!" Tang Jun said seriously.
"Ahem, actually I'm fine!" Zhou Xing said.
Zhou Xing's acting skills were still OK. Although some minor problems arose later, they were all resolved smoothly.
However, Tang Jun really made Li Yi never expect that at such a young age, he gave off a rigid and stubborn look and was meticulous in everything he did.
This kind of personality has advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that you really don’t need to worry about him not doing well, but there are also disadvantages. It is obvious from the sleeping pill props that this guy is really good at this aspect.
It can be described as nit-picking.
Li Yi asked him to relax his requirements, but he plausibly said that in an excellent movie, details are very important, and the quality of the movie cannot be defective because of him.
What else could Li Yi say?
However, Li Yi also observed that although Tang Jun was meticulous in doing things, he was not really ignorant of the ways of the world. For example, after the first filming, he actually took the initiative to find Zhou Xing and apologize to him, saying that he did not explain the situation to him in advance.
It's just that Tang Jun's style of doing things has naturally made him a celebrity among the crew. Many people are not even afraid of Li Yi, but when they see Tang Jun, they are a little worried, for fear that if they don't do something well, they will be nagged by this guy again.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Yes, Nagging, he will tell you the facts and reason.
According to the words of a certain prop master: "Director Li is generally not picky, but Director Tang is different. He really feels that he has to do things right. Even if he misses a little, that's just a little! And he doesn't yell at you loudly.
Or get angry or something, but you can just present the facts and reason, ah, you see, you can do whatever you want, don’t underestimate the small issues and details, Director Li’s movies are different from other directors, his movies,
Audiences, fans, critics, and media will all stare at it. It’s not that I’m being picky, but they will use a magnifying glass to watch Director Lee’s movies, so..."
Li Yi thought that Tang Jun's personality was quite good. Although he was a little uncomfortable with it at first, he soon discovered the benefits of having a meticulous director like Tang Jun in the crew.
In fact, it is because Li Yi has absolute control over the crew, and there is no one bigger than him in the entire crew, so as long as he doesn't say anything, everyone can only endure it even if they can't stand it.
At first, many people did think that Tang Jun was just using chicken feathers as arrows, but soon everyone discovered that he was really not, and that he treated everyone equally.
As the saying goes, don't worry about scarcity but inequality. Tang Jun could make a bowl of water even, and everyone gradually got used to it.
Of course, this is also in Li Yi's crew. If Tang Jun waits for one day to film by himself, he will probably suffer.
On the one hand, it's because most people really can't stand his strictness, and on the other hand, it's also because the average crew can't stand his strictness. After all, once there are strict requirements, not to mention other things, it is absolutely necessary for funding.
A lot of increase.
That is to say, Li Yi's crew is really not short of money, and he himself is the capital side. But if Tang Jun is filming the movie by himself, if he does this, I am afraid that the investors will go crazy in a few days.
Not to mention anything else, there are many eating scenes in the movie, which require a lot of food props.
Generally speaking, for other production crews, many times the props are made by the prop master at random and then displayed. Most of these props can only be seen on the surface, and the taste is not satisfactory.
But when it came to Tang Jun, these things, initially the props, were based on the past model.
But after Tang Jun found out, he didn't agree. According to him, if the food tastes bad, it will increase the difficulty of the performance and make the performance unnatural for the actors.
So in the end, all these props were replaced with real dishes.
The cost of this aspect alone is beyond the comparison of ordinary props and food.
What's even more interesting is that because of Tang Jun's strictness, the assistant director, actors, etc. sent by Bangzi Fang all thought that Li Yi's movies had such requirements.
As a result, when it came to Bangzi Media, it became: "The great director is indeed a great director, and his requirements for the details of the film are extremely strict. No wonder Li Yi was able to succeed!"
Yes, for Bangzi people, Li Yi is a strong person, a successful person, and someone they need to learn from, so these strict requirements have become a matter of course.
This can be considered an unexpected gain.
Anyway, no one will think that this is all because of Tang Jun. They will only think that Li Yi, a great director, is so terrifying.
For example, Park Min-ah, the national goddess of Bangzi who plays the heroine, mentioned this when being interviewed by their home media.
"Working with Director Li Yi is really a very magical experience. The entire crew is meticulous, pays attention to details, and pursues perfection. This is the true spirit of craftsmanship. Perhaps this is also the key to Director Li Yi's success.
The actors are also very dedicated..."
Anyway, it gives the people over at Bangzi a feeling, that is, the great director is quite capable, and the crew is not short of money. Not only is it not short of money, but it is also a group that has strict requirements on details.
Those who admire the strong can be said to have no doubts about these.
After all, for top directors like Li Yi, there must be something unique in their thinking, and being strict, having extreme requirements for details, etc., in their eyes, it becomes a matter of course.
matter.
Only the crew and many people who have worked with Li Yi know what this horse riding thing is all about?
Although Li Yi does have more requirements for the details of the movie, it is not to such an exaggerated level, right?
The filming of "Happy Family" is in full swing.
In terms of publicity, Li Yi's film has attracted a lot of attention. Of course, publicity is still needed, but this time it's in a different way.
Li Yi pushed Tang Jun out directly.
Ask the crew to be interviewed by the media, and they will definitely mention Tang Jun.
Not to mention, Tang Jun's story is indeed quite interesting to the melon-eaters.
Moreover, there is another point. Tang Jun's behavior also caused the crew to accumulate a lot of resentment against him.
Therefore, this can be regarded as letting them vent openly.
Or in other words, it’s basically a complaint.
As the leading actor, Zhou Xing is naturally the first.
He was indeed made miserable by Tang Jun.
"As for the first scene of swallowing sleeping pills, when I started shooting the first scene, I immediately made a mistake with the prop pill! According to director Tang Jun, to recreate it perfectly, even the taste must be the same as sleeping pills, but
The problem is, I’ve taken sleeping pills before, but how can they be so bitter? But Director Tang also said that the sample he took tasted like that, what can I say?”
Then there is the prop master, who also complains a lot.
"There are a lot of eating scenes in the film, involving a lot of props and dishes. According to our past experience, we don't have to think about the taste. At most, we just make the appearance. But this time it doesn't work. According to his words, that's
, the poor taste of the dishes can easily affect the performance of the actors, so all the previous props and dishes were scrapped and a professional chef was specially hired to cook them! It cost a lot more money!
I especially wonder if he remembered his birthday wrong, he must be a debutante!"
Then there are the other actors.
"He was too picky. Director Li asked him to direct a few scenes. As a result, the extras almost went crazy because of him..."
"There was a scene where he met a mage, and he specially invited a mage from Hong Kong Island to help set up the scene..."
"..."
Anyway, all kinds of complaints about Tang Jun became the first shot in the promotion of "Happy Family".
The effect is quite good.
Moreover, the reaction of movie fans and netizens made many people extremely shocked.
“Isn’t that how movies are supposed to be made?”
"Isn't it true what they say? If the props and dishes are tasteless, then the actors will only be able to act if they eat well and so on."
"Isn't there anything to complain about? I always thought that the dishes in the movie should be cooked by real chefs, isn't it?"
"It's normal to ask a mage to arrange the scene, right? After all, how can ordinary people understand this stuff? This is called professionalism!"
Yes, to many ordinary people, these actors and prop masters seem to be doing something very strange and very picky. Before this, many people actually thought that it was Tang Jun who did it.
In fact, it is quite normal. After all, the so-called insiders watch the door, while the outsiders watch the excitement.
For those in the industry, they certainly know that it is impossible to be so picky when making a movie.
But for outsiders, in their perception, this is how it is, so naturally they think there is nothing wrong with it!
