The filming progress of "I Love You" is very fast, I can't help it!
Fortunately, this time, the cast of "I Love You" is truly luxurious. In addition to the protagonists, even the supporting roles are played by well-known veteran actors in the industry.
And this is a feature film in itself, so the shooting was really not that difficult.
As we all know, there are not many other complicated things in feature films. The key lies in the performance of the actors.
If the actors perform well, it will definitely get twice the result with half the effort during filming.
Li Yi was not in a hurry, but Luo Teng and Park Cangdong were.
Therefore, they started the screening of "Crossing the River" in advance.
They are trying to gain popularity and reputation first before "I Love You" meets the audience.
The effect is actually quite good.
The plot of "Crossing the River" itself is pretty good, and Park Chang-dong is good at shooting movies with a relatively large span of time, and Luo Teng's control of big scenes is relatively good in China.
Although the cooperation between the two cannot be so tacit, the movie is generally good.
After the screening, the rating on Popular Film Critics Network was pretty good. Although it was not particularly high, it was definitely not low either. The score of 8.2 made both Luo Teng and Park Chang-dong heave a sigh of relief.
There is a reason for them to do this. In addition to wanting to screen the movie in advance to build up reputation, they also want to win support from theaters.
Everyone knows why they don’t like to confront Li Yi head-on?
Because theaters are almost blind to Li Yi's movies.
As long as it's Li Yi's movie, watching movies, etc., even if they don't do it, they will give them great support.
Not for anything else, just because that person’s name is Li Yi!
It has never failed, and it is a movie that makes theaters money as soon as it is released, so they are naturally willing to support it.
At the same time, on Li Yi's side, after a short period of post-production, the film "I Love You" was also announced to be completed.
This time, we didn’t have enough time to conduct screenings, so we simply kept it secret to the end.
Although the outside world knows that this film is definitely a romance film, the specific story is unknown, but this does not prevent them from having high expectations for this film.
"I Love You" is a very special movie. Although it tells the story of love at dusk, in fact, this movie is not necessarily made for the elderly. Instead, it is for young and middle-aged people.
This movie's best audience.
This time, the premiere of "I Love You" was arranged at the Daguanlou Cinema, the oldest cinema in Beijing.
Tickets for the premiere are almost impossible to get, which is also standard for Li Yi's movie premieres.
On the other side, "Crossing the River" also chose to have its premiere on the same day. The premiere location was only two kilometers away from the premiere theater of "I Love You".
The influence of Luo Teng and Park Changdong may be large enough, but it also depends on who they are compared with.
Compared with Li Yi, it's really not good enough.
No, although the premiere of "I Love You" was not too flashy, the guests could almost be said to have gathered from all over the Taiwan Strait and three places, and even many movies from Bangkok came to support it.
After all, although "I Love You" represents a film led by a Chinese director, it is still a co-production.
Of course, it depends on the quality of the movie.
In my memory of "I Love You", there are two versions, one is the original version of "The Other Side of the Stick", and the other is the domestic adaptation.
Although the domestic version has been adapted locally, to be honest, Li Yi prefers the original version.
Therefore, when he was filming, he also restored a large number of the original "I Love You"!
Of course, some things in it will still be localized, but they will not be changed as thoroughly as the domestic version of "I Love You".
The original "I Love You" story takes place in a small town, while the domestic version takes place in a city.
The reason why Li Yi likes the original version of "I Love You" more is that it is not so messy and complicated. It can be said that it may not have as many "popular" things as the localized adaptation of the domestic version, but
But very poetic!
Of course, the focus may be different.
The original version highlights pure love, but the adapted version may be more ambitious? It wants to give people a down-to-earth feeling, but the director may not be that good, resulting in many plots, which seems to be the opposite.
For example, in the adapted version, the old man ran to the banquet and cracked the whip, etc.
For another example, the first time I met an old lady, it turned out to be a conflict!
These all seem a bit deliberate.
On the contrary, in the original version, there is not so much violence, many things are just to the point, the key is to exaggerate the love between the two old couples!
Back to business.
This time, Li Yi's "I Love You" premiered, and even the director of "Seoul Love", Ahn Jae-wook, came here specially.
Soon the movie officially started showing.
"Director Li Yi's work!"
As soon as these six words came out, there was a burst of applause in the theater.
The eyes of many directors present were filled with envy and jealousy. It is really enviable for a director to be able to achieve this level!
The movie begins to appear.
At dawn, under the dim yellow light, an old man rides a motorcycle to deliver milk!
In fact, Li Yi originally thought about whether he needed to change his profession, perhaps to an empty nester like the original version, but in the end he decided to use the original version.
Maybe you can say that this is not in line with reality, but after Li Yi asked some people, he did not change it.
Because this setting actually echoes the character of Old Man Jin. What is his character?
Macho chauvinism! If you have been stubborn all your life, you will always be a strong person!
On the snowy slope, Old Man Jin rode his old motorcycle uphill!
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! On the slope, Mrs. Song pulled the tricycle collecting rags downhill.
Suddenly the old man's wheel splashed a stone, which hit Mrs. Song's head with a clang.
Suddenly, Mrs. Song lost control of the car and fell down, and the paper on the car fell to the ground.
Old Man Jin had to stop the car and looked back to see if the old lady was okay.
"Are you okay? Did I cause you to fall just now? How are you? Are you injured?" Old Man Jin asked loudly.
As he spoke, he helped pick up the paper and put it back in the car.
"It's okay!" Mrs. Song replied.
But Old Man Song seemed unable to hear and said loudly: "I asked you if you were injured!"
"I'm fine!" Mrs. Song's personality was obviously the opposite of the old man's. She spoke softly, but this made the old man anxious and he couldn't hear clearly.
"Can you speak a little louder?" The old man was a little angry.
"Is he deaf?" Mrs. Song, although she has a gentle personality, is not temperless at all, she murmured in a low voice.
Then he said loudly: "I'm fine, you can go!"
Finally, after the first encounter between Old Man Jin and Old Mrs. Song, naturally they were not so harmonious.
Old Man Jin went back and wanted to start the motorcycle, but the old motorcycle was against him and couldn't start no matter what.
At this time, Mrs. Song suddenly came over: "What, I want to buy some milk, is that okay? Is ten yuan enough?"
"I deliver milk, not sell milk." Old Man Jin said impatiently.
"If you don't want to sell it, you won't sell it. Why are you yelling at me?" Mrs. Song whispered in a low voice.
"I often see you in the morning!" Old Man Jin, who was also hard-spoken and soft-hearted, said, taking out a carton of milk from the milk box at the back and stuffing it into her hand.
"This box is for you! Anyway, this is what's left!" He said and pushed the cart away.
Mrs. Song looked at the milk in her hand and then at the old man in front of her. She didn't know what she was thinking.
Maybe he felt that this old man wasn't that annoying after all.
It's another snowy dawn, under the dim street lights, still on the same slope!
An old lady, squatting on the half-way ramp in such a cold day, with a tricycle loaded with cardboard and bottles behind her, seemed very desolate, but here, Li Yi felt that there was no need to deliberately exaggerate this.
.
Therefore, on the contrary, the pictures produced are more poetic, trying to soften the desolation as much as possible.
This isn't the subject of the movie, is it?
Suddenly, a light shone on the wall in the distance. The old lady knew that it was the bad-tempered old man who was coming again. She quickly stood up and turned her back to the road. She didn't turn around until the old man rode away.
Come back and continue squatting there to rest.
But she didn't expect that the old man would actually fight back.
"Why are you out in such a cold weather? Those scraps can't be sold for much, don't you have a family?" Old Man Jin completely ignored that he also ran out to deliver milk before dawn.
Perhaps he, who has been stubborn and strong all his life, simply ignored this point.
"No!" Mrs. Song stood up and replied.
"What?" the old man asked loudly, a little deaf.
"I said no!" Mrs. Song said a little louder.
"Eh!" The old man looked at Mrs. Song, and then at the junk collecting car next to her.
After parking the motorcycle, when we got off, we had to help the old lady pull the motorcycle downhill.
"What are you doing?" Mrs. Song quickly stopped her.
"It's going to freeze in a while. You don't want to fall? Just listen to me!" Old Man Jin said forcefully.
So, one pulls in the front and the other pulls in the back.
Finally, the tricycle loaded with cardboard waste was pulled down the slope.
The old man also slapped his waist: "My waist is almost broken!"
Before leaving, Mrs. Song warned: "Be careful when riding!"
But Old Man Jin put his hands behind his back and said harshly: "You'd better worry about yourself!"
However, he was handsome for only three seconds, and the ground was still too slippery, so he accidentally fell down.
Mrs. Song was about to step forward worriedly.
"It's okay, I'm okay, you can go!" the old man said quickly.
He got up and complained secretly: "It's so embarrassing!"
Hahaha!
I don’t know why many viewers in the theater couldn’t help but laugh.
This old man feels very interesting and cute!
Mrs. Song watched the stubborn old man staggering towards the motorcycle halfway up the slope, and couldn't help but smile.
The sky is bright!
In the dairy shop, through the conversation between Old Man Jin and the shop owner's son, everyone found out that the old man's ears were indeed not very good and he was wearing a hearing aid.
This also explains why he always speaks so loudly.
Seeing the shop owner's son packing up the empty milk cartons, Old Man Jin suddenly remembered the soft-spoken Mrs. Song.
They even used a trick to get him to promise not to sell these empty milk cartons to people who often come to collect them.
Everyone knew that he wanted to give these things to Mrs. Song.
Before dawn, the old man went out to deliver milk on his motorcycle again. When Mrs. Song heard the familiar sound of the motorcycle, she knew that the stubborn old man had started working again.
She stood up, opened the curtains, and sure enough she saw the figure of Old Man Jin riding a motorcycle.
On this day, because the scrap collection truck she used every day was placed at the scrap collection station, but the people inside did not come, so Mrs. Song could only wait outside.
But Old Man Jin was waiting on the ramp that Old Mrs. Song must pass every day, but he waited and waited. It was almost dawn, but the old lady hadn't arrived yet.
The parking lot manager, Old Man Zhang, also went out from home, but what was strange was that he locked the door after going out even though there was someone else at home.
Sitting in the office, he saw Mrs. Song shivering outside, so he came out and asked her to wait in the office.
On the ramp, Old Man Jin waited left and right, but did not see Old Mrs. Song. He wanted to leave. After all, it was dawn, but for some reason, he thought in his mind that Old Mrs. Song fell because he did not have his help.
Old Man Jin did not wait any longer, but rode his bicycle to the scrap station. When he saw Old Mrs. Song, he smiled and wanted to give Mrs. Song the empty milk cartons he got from the shop owner's son yesterday.
As a result, I saw Old Man Zhang helping Old Mrs. Song to unload the cart for scrap collection.
He stopped immediately and turned around, feeling embarrassed.
At this time, the old lady went to call him and stopped him.
She knew that the old man's ears didn't seem to be very sharp, so she shouted louder.
Only this time, the old man said that he didn't need to shout so loudly because he wore a hearing aid.
I didn’t wear hearing aids before because it was too noisy while riding a bicycle.
Because Old Man Zhang was present, the arrogant Old Man Jin did not give the milk box to the old lady. Instead, he said that he was going to deliver milk and left by bike.
When the camera turned, old man Zhang got off work and returned home carrying an alarm clock and some food given by the young man at the scrap yard.
It turned out that he had a wife with Alzheimer's disease. The wife was alone at home, drawing on the wall with a crayon like a child. When she saw old man Zhang coming back, she turned and pointed at the paintings on the wall and smiled. She was dirty all over.
Xixi.
Old Man Zhang also laughed, but the next moment, he coaxed like a child: "Remember to use the potty next time!"
Old man Zhang patiently bathed his wife, cooked meals, and fed her like a child!
"What did you do today? Tell me." Old Man Zhang asked.
But the boss just smiled and said nothing.
"I ate homemade noodles for lunch today. It's easy to order takeout, but I didn't have anything else to do. Chen Da from the scrap collection store gave me an alarm clock..."
He told everything about what happened during the day, even though his wife might not understand at all, he still did it.
At night, he coaxed his wife to sleep like a child. After she fell asleep, he set the alarm clock and then went to sleep.
