The filming of "The Intouchables" has officially begun.
This film was actually quite interesting to shoot.
What makes Li Yi most satisfied is that Philes played his true character. It must be said that after the initial adaptation period, his performance was perfect.
Daniel's performance is worthy of his salary. Although it is expensive, it is expensive for a reason.
The filming of "The Intouchables" quickly got on track. The atmosphere on the set was very good, and the most incredible thing was that it was Phils who was acting for the first time.
In other words, the charisma of some people is just hard to resist, especially Phils. It can be said that no one on the crew dislikes him.
Although he is paralyzed, his knowledge, his profound memory, and his elegance at every moment make people want to get close to him. Being friends with such a person is undoubtedly a very enjoyable thing.
Therefore, when the crew takes a break, there are always some people around Phils, chatting and laughing with him.
Later in the filming, Phils grew a beard for acting needs. When the filming was completed, everyone was reluctant to part with it.
After nearly three months of getting along, many people on the crew fell in love with Phils, a gentleman who is approachable and can chat with anyone.
Yes, he is a true gentleman, even if he is unable to move, he cannot hide this.
In terms of post-production, "The Intouchables" took a lot of extra effort, mainly in the soundtrack, because this time even Li Yi found it difficult to completely reproduce the original version, so he had to keep trying.
Li Yi tried his best to get as close to the original version as possible.
...
The promotion of "The Intouchables" has already begun.
It can be said that both Li Yi and Dean Pictures have high hopes for this movie.
On the one hand, the subject matter is very lovable, and on the other hand, the story is really good. Although it is a clichéd story, it has a unique flavor.
The first screening was held at the Chinese Theater in Hollywood.
There are still many film critics and media people coming this time. Of course, Li Yi's movies will definitely be favored by them. After all, the two movies Li Yi made before can be said to be more literary and artistic.
This time, "The Intouchables" has real prototype characters, so everyone probably knows a little about the content of the movie. This theme involves the equal coexistence of blacks and whites, and it also involves the disabled group, so it can be said that it is truly
The double hit home to their hearts.
Of course, Daniel and Phils are also here. For Daniel, this is just one of his many movies, nothing more, but for Phils, this is the first time.
It was the first time I watched a movie in which I starred.
The movie started showing quickly.
At the beginning of the movie, Li Yi copied the original opening scene, a flashback.
In Los Angeles at midnight, the black man Driss played by Daniel is sitting in a car and driving a Maserati.
Next to him is Philip, played by Fiers, with a stubble on his face, leaning against the car window and looking out the window.
The neon lights outside illuminated his slightly older face. While waiting for the traffic light, Derris glanced sideways at Philip. He suddenly turned the steering wheel and stepped on the accelerator. The car's engine roared, and the Maserati was heard.
The streets suddenly became violent.
At this moment, the police forced the speeding Maserati to stop.
This was originally a case of speeding, but after getting out of the car, Driss lied and said that he was speeding because he wanted to take Philip to the hospital.
"After you think about it, call his fifteen-year-old daughter and tell her that her father is dead!"
"Five minutes late means a life!"
When the two white policemen saw that Philip was foaming at the mouth in the car, they immediately believed it and even opened the way for them.
This scene made many film critics and media people who entered the theater a little dumbfounded.
Because this expansion is a bit... strange.
Especially when the music became cheerful, they rushed to the hospital with the police car clearing the way.
Of course, it also made the audience extremely curious, because soon after arriving at the hospital, after the police left, they began to ride on the street again, and Philip, who was foaming at the mouth, was just pretending.
The two were talking and laughing, as close as brothers.
This makes many people confused.
Driss took a cigarette and lit it, took a puff, and then gave it to Philip.
Both of them couldn't help laughing.
After this scene, the movie officially begins.
In a mansion, a group of men were sitting in a row waiting for an interview. The black man Derris who had been driving seemed out of place among this group of people.
Because the other interviewees were all wearing suits and leather shoes, shiny leather shoes, and carrying briefcases, but he was the only one with a hip-hop style and a pair of worn-out sneakers on his feet.
It can be said that this shot allows the audience to see at a glance that he is not in the same circle as this group of people.
The camera also showed the furnishings in the mansion. It can be said that the classical-style furnishings everywhere highlight that the family is either rich or noble.
Driss was bored, but his eyes were attracted by a row of Faberge eggs.
At the same time, the female assistant and the male protagonist Philip inside were interviewing these applicants.
The applicants are all professionals, some have various certificates, and some have extensive resumes.
As for their reasons for applying for this job, some said it was for money, some said it was for humanistic care, and some said they liked helping people and disadvantaged groups...
Help disabled people improve their ability to take care of themselves and help them reintegrate into society...
The camera keeps switching between candidates.
There was also a joke that he also helped people apply for housing subsidies, but Philip finally couldn't help but said: "Margery, you can check, but I don't think it is necessary!"
Because there were so many applicants, Derris, a black man, waited for two hours and it was still his turn. When he called the next person in for an interview impatiently, he jumped in line.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! He walked into the room swaggeringly, and as soon as he entered the door, he took a piece of paper on the table and asked Phillip to sign it.
This made the female assistant a little surprised: "Please sit down first!"
But Driss said nothing.
"Do you have anything to recommend yourself?" the female assistant asked according to the procedure.
"Recommended?" Driss was still standing there. Hearing the housekeeper's words, he nodded.
"have!"
But in the end, he mentioned two bands and recommended them to you.
And obviously the two most popular underground bands he mentioned, Philip and the housekeeper Margery, had never heard of them.
But Philip asked him to sit down anyway.
"If you don't even know them, then you really don't know anything about music!" Driss couldn't help but say.
"Listen, I don't know anything about this field, although I don't know what bands you are talking about..."
"So do you know Chopin and Schubert?"
"Of course I understand. Do you know which buildings?"
Darius finally sat down, but the two of them were talking at the same level. Philip was talking about classical music and the musicians, but Darius couldn't understand it at all.
He smiled and said: "I'm joking, don't you know? Your sense of humor is exactly the same as your knowledge of music. You know nothing about it!"
Philip was a little helpless, and the female assistant was also a little dumbfounded.
At this time, Philip asked: "Can you tell me what happened to the piece of paper on the table?"
"I need a signature! Proof that I came for an interview, even if I have good qualifications, but unfortunately... whatever you do, you are not going to use me, and I have to be rejected three times before I can get unemployment benefits.
!" Driss said.
"I know, but is it just for unemployment benefits? Does that mean you have no interest in this job at all?" Philip asked.
"Yes, I am interested. There is a point of interest here! It's so interesting!" Driss said while looking at the beautiful female assistant.
He even winked at the female assistant.
The housekeeper seemed a little unhappy, but Philip couldn't help being amused.
At this time Derris stood up: "Okay, do you want to sign or not?"
"I don't want to sign this now!" Philip said calmly.
"Why?" Driss looked puzzled.
"Why?" Philip controlled the wheelchair and came to Driss.
Driss looked at Philip in the wheelchair and seemed to understand: "This is troublesome!"
"There's a deadline on this thing, and I'm already too late." Driss said unhappily.
"Yeah, it's quite troublesome!" Philip looked at him and said.
"Can the person I like sign for you?" Derris asked.
"No, she has no right to sign!" Philip said, and the female assistant looked at Philip in surprise.
But Darius believed it: "What a pity, can she write me a phone number?"
"Come tomorrow, nine o'clock! This paper will be prepared for you, I won't give it to you!" Philip said with a smile.
"No! Don't get up, sit down! I'll come back tomorrow!" Driss glanced at Philip and made a gesture.
With that said, he walked out again.
The camera turned and followed the black man Driss to his home. Different from Philip's magnificent mansion, Driss's home was crowded and dilapidated, with several members of the family crowded into a small house.
Si was imprisoned for six months for robbing a jewelry store, but he did not tell his family about this. His mother was very angry because he had not been home for six months, and she clamored to bring the man who had just been released from prison to the house.
He kicked out of the house.
This paragraph is an introduction to Derris's identity and background.
It can be said that he and Philip are completely different classes.
Early the next morning, Driss came to Philip's mansion and wanted to come over to get the signed certificate to receive unemployment benefits.
But in the end, the housekeeper directly led him to explain what he needed to do.
She also told Driss that most people would find it difficult to last for a week, and it was a challenge here!
But Driss was a little surprised: "I like the decoration here, and the music is good, but to be honest, I won't buy the house here. I don't plan to spend the whole day here!"
He felt that the other party had misunderstood that he wanted to buy a house here.
However, the housekeeper did not explain much. She just said that this was arranged by Philip, and then continued to take him to his room. Looking at such a luxurious room, he who was homeless could not help but feel a little moved.
.
Then he saw Philip lying on the bed. Philip was receiving a massage. He told Driss that his documents had been signed.
Driss picked it up and was about to leave.
At this time, Philip said: "What do you think about living on relief?"
"What?" Driss, who was about to leave, turned around and asked.
"Let me ask you, don't you feel embarrassed about relying on others for your life? Do you think you can cope with it psychologically?" Philip asked.
"I'm fine, thank you for your concern!" Driss said nonchalantly.
Then he asked again: "What about you?"
Obviously, he was also secretly pointing out that Philip also needed help from others to survive.
Of course, the two are completely different.
"Then do you think you are capable of working? Subject to some restrictions, on time, and with some responsibilities?"
"I was wrong before, you are actually quite humorous!" Derris replied.
"I'm actually very humorous, so I'm going to give you a one-month trial period. I'll give you a day to think about it. I bet you can't last two weeks!" Philip said with a slight arc at the corner of his mouth.
Driss is obviously a little agitated!
And he is already homeless, and the conditions here are so good, so he plans to stay first.
Thus, these two completely different classes of people began a period of getting along.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Driss watched the medical staff showing Driss how to rehabilitate the paralyzed Philip.
As a result, Driss fell asleep listening to it.
The other party asked Driss to try, get Philip into a wheelchair, and then take him to take a shower.
Driss thought it was easy, so he picked up Philip and put him in the wheelchair, but he just turned around and said, "It's easy!"
As a result, Philip fell forward.
Afterwards, Driss helped Philip take a bath, and he seemed a little irritable.
Philip asked: "Are you disgusted? Do you need gloves? Use some strength!"
But in fact, Derris has never used shampoo that doesn't foam.
This troubled him.
But in fact, he put shampoo on Phillip's feet.
It turned out that Driss had admitted his mistake.
Philip couldn't help but said: "Dress, tell me, are you at least literate?"
"I know...but..." Driss also felt a little embarrassed.
But in fact, it's because Driss doesn't know the difference clearly at all. He always uses all-in-one shampoo.
But Philip had twenty bottles here, and he was completely confused.
Afterwards, Driss, who had just arrived, didn't quite understand many things, such as why Philip wore elastic pants. Philip told him that if he didn't wear these, his blood would not circulate and he would die!
But Darius said: "I don't know how to wear stockings! Something went wrong. I'm sorry, I really don't know how to do this. You may have to ask her to come back and help you put them on. She knows what to do better than me because she is a
female!"
But after talking a lot, he finally put it on for Philip.
A typical kind of person who is disrespectful of words and body integrity!
Philip also joked: "You look very experienced, have you ever thought about opening a beauty salon or something?"
