Chapter 143: When the fake is real, the real is also fake
"Lilacs" is all ready, but the only flaw is that the season is wrong, and we have never been able to find a scene full of lilacs.
Fortunately, although there are no naturally blooming lilac bushes at this time of year, Zhuo Yixiong has contacted an agricultural company with a special lilac cultivation base that can provide lilacs for photography.
Soon, "Lilac" was officially launched.
For Li Yi, and for Li Yi's team that has almost been fixed, it is already a familiar matter.
Everything is going on in an orderly manner.
Here Li Yi also has to say that working with a big-name artist like Chen Weijie really makes him worry-free.
Of course, he also knew that Chen Weijie was an exception.
Unlike many big-name stars who like to be dramatic or have too many ideas of their own, Chen Weijie has always had a very good reputation in this regard.
It may be because of this that if Chen Weijie did not encounter a good play or a good script, the result would be unsatisfactory performance in the movie, because he is a very disciplined actor and basically does whatever the director asks of him on the set. He will have his own ideas, but he will always implement them within the framework required by the director.
Don't worry too much when working with such an actor, and Chen Weijie's acting skills are really good.
Moreover, it can be said that Chen Weijie himself is indeed the male god in the eyes of thousands of girls, and his charm has not faded with age.
This actually makes Chen Weijie's character design similar to that of Tang Lei in "Lilac".
The most obvious one is the scene where he meets Ding Xiang for the first time.
"The twenty-first scene of "Lilacs", the third scene, the first time! ACCTION!"
As the sound of the clap fell, the filming of this scene officially started.
In order to achieve the effect Li Yi wanted for this scene.
Li Yi specifically set very high requirements for the extras. At that time, Zhuo Yixiong asked confusedly, it would be fine if an advertising company recruited only female employees, but they were all charming beauties. Is there something wrong with that? In the end, Li Yi simply ignored him.
Yes, this is illogical, but what the heck, the movie really has to be so particular about being completely real, and it’s so stupid.
What's more, "Lilac" is also an MV music movie. This kind of movie is all about "aesthetics". If you put some crooked melons and cracked dates into it, can it be real?
He knows that in many online movies, the most profound feeling is that, except for the male and female protagonists, no, even in many cases, even the male and female protagonists are really crooked.
He doesn't want his movie to be criticized. Isn't there any more reliable extras in China?
Therefore, in this scene, the extras were all art school students Zhuo Yixiong carefully selected from a nearby art school who were at least above average in appearance.
This scene should highlight two aspects, two aspects that Li Yi thinks are very important.
One is that the first meeting between Ding Xiang, played by Xu Qianqian, and Tang Lei cannot give people the feeling of lust. Although most love at first sight is lust, at least this scene cannot give people this feeling. Therefore, foil is very important. Xu Qianqian may be the most special one among the crowd, but she definitely cannot be the most beautiful one.
For this reason, these foils must be beautiful. In this way, when Xu Qianqian is noticed by Tang Lei for the first time, it is true love at first sight, not lust.
The other one depends on Chen Weijie’s charm.
Because in order for Tang Lei, played by Chen Weijie, to pay attention to Xu Qianqian, she must appear so unique among the crowd.
Xu Qianqian is a professional actor. Although she has not graduated yet, Li Yi believes that she can do this, that is, keep a calm smile.
When others see Tang Lei played by Chen Weijie, their eyes will light up.
At this point, Li Yi believes that Chen Weijie's charm is enough to attract these extras, not to mention the aura of the king of superstars.
In the monitor, Tang Lei appears.
The camera switches to Tang Lei's line of sight, scanning the crowd of Yingying Yanyan.
Li Yi nodded with satisfaction.
Because when these people saw the handsome Chen Weijie, their eyes lit up, or they stood up straight, with their hands wrapped around their black hair, and so on.
And this also made Xu Qianqian, who had a faint polite and clean smile, immediately stand out in the crowd.
Of course, this has a lot to do with the fact that the lighting focuses on Xu Qianqian, but the effect of the photo does give people a feeling that she is the most unique.
"Good! Very good!" Li Yi did not hesitate to praise this scene.
The fact is that this scene made him very satisfied.
The filming went very smoothly, but Li Yi was a little worried.
Because Chen Weijie and Xu Qianqian seem to have made a real fake show.
This can be seen from the familiar interaction between the two during filming breaks.
In fact, I don’t blame Xu Qianqian, nor Chen Weijie, because the charm of a middle-aged handsome man like Chen Weijie is really unstoppable to a fledgling young girl like Xu Qianqian.
Of course, Chen Weijie didn't need to say more. Xu Qianqian's eyes and some habits made him feel like he had faced the Xia Yao who was haunted by dreams.
And with the excuse that everything is for filming and making better movies, he gradually became emotionally involved.
Li Yi had a headache, but it has to be said that the two of them "acting for real" made the filming of the movie go smoother.
The smiles and frowns between the two people appear more natural, and a casual look can reveal an extremely natural care.
Li Yi could have a good chat with Chen Weijie, but he was worried whether this would ruin the current progress. After all, it is not easy to get back into the drama after leaving the drama.
Under such circumstances, the shooting progress was very fast.
Li Yi simply put aside his worries and devoted himself to the filming of the movie.
As for Chen Weijie and Xu Qianqian, they are both adults. Li Yi doesn't believe that Xu Qianqian doesn't know about Chen Weijie's situation.
As for Chen Weijie, Li Yi also believes that, well, you have to believe it anyway. He has been filming for so many years. He should be able to distinguish clearly between the on-screen and off-screen, right?
Anyway, there weren't any particularly intimate scenes in "Lilac". The two of them were flirting with each other on the set, but they didn't do anything that pushed the boundaries.
Until the last few key scenes of the movie, Chen Weijie's performance made Li Yi couldn't be more satisfied.
Especially when he learned the news of Ding Xiang's death and saw the letter left by Ding Xiang, Chen Weijie's sadness was filled with the emotions he felt when Xia Yao died unexpectedly. The sadness could almost overflow the screen.
.
And when he came to the grave where Lilac was buried and sang the song "Lilac", it made the song seem to have a soul.
