Chapter 1587: When you are very lonely, you might as well watch this movie
The movie "Amélie" is, to be honest, quite weird.
Not only the plot of the movie seems a bit weird, in fact, even the actors look a bit weird.
She is not a beauty at first glance, but at first glance you would think this girl is a bit strange!
But this does not prevent this movie from becoming a classic. In fact, the choice of actors is really very good.
Because "Amélie" itself is a slightly weird movie, lonely carnival, which may be used to describe the style of this movie.
Therefore, if Li Yi wants to make this movie, he will try to choose a slightly "weird" actress, at least in terms of makeup.
Lonely people are inherently isolated from the world. Although she is among the crowd, her behavior is full of loneliness.
In fact, it can be said that "Amélie" is a typical French movie, romantic to the core, melancholic, neurotic, jumpy, and literary! People who like it are fascinated by it, and people who don't like it are drowsy after watching it. There are two kinds of
extreme.
Not only that, the use of color in the movie is also very unique and colorful.
The color of the entire film is full of changes. From the moment Emily comes of age, the picture is shrouded in very strong low tones. The details on the characters' faces are natural, but the colors are as strong as oil paintings. The use of the lens is also very flexible, outlining the
France's unique romantic atmosphere is flamboyant, warm, bold but not exaggerated.
In short, this is a film that makes people smile knowingly and feel warm in their hearts after watching it. When thinking about it, it makes people feel that the world is broad and life is beautiful.
Li Yigang has just finished shooting a French movie, so he can also shoot this "Amélie"!
I have to say that French movies do have their own unique taste and characteristics. First of all, from the opening of "Amélie", it is difficult to make people think that this movie is about loneliness and the story of getting rid of loneliness.
Opening narration:
A Gallifrid blowfly, which can beat its wings 14,670 times per minute, landed on the Rue Saint-Versailles in Montmartre. At this moment, on the platform of a restaurant, the wind blew the tablecloth violently, and the glass seemed to be dancing, but
No one feels it.
At this time, on the fifth floor of No. 28 Tudan Street, District 9, Errang Guo Liu deleted her name from the communication book after attending the funeral of his friend Emily Maginot.
At this time, a sperm with Alfal. Mr. Breen's X chromosome met Mrs. Breen's egg.
Amandine Frey gave birth to Emily Breen nine months into her pregnancy.
Emily's father is an old military doctor who works at the spa in Enron Reb. His tight lips show that he is heartless. Aifal Brin doesn't like standing next to others to pee, and he doesn't like to bump into others.
Comments on the lack of eyebrows on his sandals. After landing, he felt his swimsuit clinging tightly to his body. Alfal Brin likes to tear off large swaths of wallpaper, line up his shoes and wax them carefully, clean the empty tool box carefully and finally arrange it carefully.
One hinge.
Emily's mother, Amandine Frey, is an ordinary primary school teacher in Guenon. She is always erratic and inexplicably nervous. Her nervousness can be seen from her muscle spasms. She doesn't like hot water and her fingers turn white.
She doesn't like people touching her fingers lightly. When she wakes up in the morning, her face has wrinkles squeezed by the sheets. She likes TF, the art skating broadcast on TV, where the skater's costume polishes her skateboards smooth with the soles of her shoes. She cleans her handbag carefully.
Clean and finally arrange everything carefully.
These copywritings are very interesting and weird in themselves!
In fact, the scenes paired with these narrations are even more ridiculous.
And this is exactly the style of this movie.
Li Yi quickly came up with the script.
It has to be said that whatever type of movie you are shooting will determine your mood.
At least when "copying" the script, Li Yi was in a wonderful mood. This is indeed a movie that can bring people joy.
It's not the kind of movie that makes people enjoy themselves in hardship, but the kind of movie that makes people smile involuntarily.
No, Mu Qing couldn't help but feel happy as she read the script.
Li Yi is not worried about finding actors, because the requirements for actresses in "Amélie" are both high and average.
There are not a few actresses of this type in France.
I can only say that it is worthy of you. After all, artistic films are popular here, so many actresses are often exposed to various movies that are even weirder than Emily in "Amélie".
Different from the previous "Springtime of the Cowherd Class", "Amélie" is more interesting.
The project was quickly approved. Although Dean Films was very puzzled as to why Li Yi wanted to make another French film, they still gave the green light to the film as soon as possible.
There's no way, this is Li Yi's movie!
For example, "Springtime of the Cowherd", although this movie is a French movie, the box office in North America is not very high, but in Europe, it has wowed countless people.
It also achieved great success at the box office and word of mouth.
However, although the plot of "Amélie" does not seem to be complicated at all, in fact, it is definitely not that easy to film.
The main reason lies in the actors, especially young actors.
Because in the first half, the young actors take up a lot of space.
Through Li Yi's connections in the French film industry and the French branch of Dean Films, the crew was quickly formed.
As for the actors, two main actors, one big and one small, were also selected.
Kelly Tatu and Emily Melling!
Yes, the little actress is also named Emily. Of course, there are many people with the same name, so it is not unusual.
However, it can be regarded as quite a fate.
In fact, Li Yi did not deny that he was also influenced by the names when choosing actors.
The first scene was very interesting.
It's little Emily's one-man show.
There is her lying on the glass with her mouth against the glass, there is her hanging cherries in her ears as earrings, there is her playing dominoes...
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The colors in the previous parts are all retro warm colors, telling the story of Emily's birth in a slightly ridiculing and amusing tone.
The filming process of the movie was very interesting. Li Yi asked little Emily to just play and shoot.
In fact, it is difficult to film scenes with children, but I have to say that young actors these days are really precocious.
The movie involves a lot of scenes, but the shooting speed is not slow.
At the beginning, it was true that one line often failed many times, but as the actors gradually became familiar with the performance style Li Yi wanted, they gradually began to get better.
In the blink of an eye, time always flies by when you are busy.
One month, two months, three months...
Although the filming progress is not slow, when filming in France, Li Yi does as the locals do. He never likes to work overtime. After all, he is not in a hurry.
Therefore, sometimes when filming stops, everyone has a party together, which keeps the atmosphere of the entire crew in a relaxed state.
This is also what Li Yi needs.
Because, "Amélie" is a movie full of romance and joy.
If you want to capture this kind of smell, you must first make the person taking the photo feel this kind of happy emotion. Li Yi has always felt that doing so will get twice the result with half the effort, and the fact is not beyond his expectation.
"Amélie" is a rather strange movie. The original version is only in French and Russian, but in Li Yi's version, there is an extra English language.
If you say this movie is a literary film, it's actually not that artistic. If you say it's a commercial film, it doesn't seem to be that commercial. It gives people a feeling of going in the opposite direction.
Of course, it also has a touch of inspiration.
A movie like this will obviously not be too popular with film award judges.
But Li Yi didn't care that much.
Soon the movie ended amidst the cheers.
There is nothing sensational or heart-rending about this movie, it just makes people smile.
However, although "Amélie" is not a film competing for awards, Li Yi's influence is undoubted, and his new film is naturally favored by many people.
For example, the Cannes Film Festival organizing committee invited Li Yi to bring his film to the festival.
It will also serve as the opening film of the film festival.
Of course Li Yi is no stranger to the Cannes Film Festival, or he is no stranger to the three major European films. After all, he is a Grand Slam man.
And this is indeed a good promotional platform.
Therefore, after finishing post-production, Li Yi took the film to Cannes.
Needless to say, the film festival is so star-studded.
Although "Amélie" did not sign up to participate in the award selection, as Li Yi's film, it still enjoyed the highest treatment here.
The film will premiere at the Palais des Festivals during the Cannes Film Festival.
On that day, the largest screening room in the huge Palais des Festivals was packed with seats, and they were filled with well-known filmmakers from all over the world, including Hollywood, Europe, Southeast Asia, and domestic filmmakers.
It can be said that the stars are shining brightly.
Of course, many media cooperating with the Cannes Film Festival also came here.
The movie "Amélie" didn't have much publicity before, but because "Springtime of the Cowherd" became a big hit in Europe, it even beat several Hollywood movies in the same period and took the top spot.
Let Li Yi's new film attract much attention.
But "Amélie" still doesn't let many people know what the specific content of the movie is.
Soon the movie started showing.
The opening scene of the movie left the audience in the Palais des Festivals somewhat stunned.
Because of the narration and the interesting scenes.
The tone is retro, warm like an oil painting.
Especially the scene in the open-air restaurant is hilarious.
"At the same time, at a nearby open-air restaurant, two wine glasses were dancing in the wind on the tablecloth;"
In the picture, two wine glasses rise and fall with the tablecloth, and the camera moves downward, but at the critical moment they float away again.
It makes people smile knowingly, are you overthinking? No, you are overthinking!
But this is very French!
In a good movie, every shot is important.
After all, movies are different from TV series in that their duration is very limited.
Soon, as the narration ended, Emily was born into this world.
The previous explanations about Emily's family, father, and mother were quickly completed and introduced in a unique and unconventional way.
Including, Emily's dad hates peeing next to others...
However, along with the introduction, the audience also knows that Emily's family and her parents are a little different from ordinary people. Her father is a little meticulous and a little neurotic, and the same is true for her mother.
"When Emily was six years old, she was no different from ordinary children. She liked to be hugged by her father, but her father only hugged her during monthly physical examinations. This rare contact made her heart beat rapidly, so
, his father thought she had a heart disease and concluded that Emily could not go to school and must stay at home and be taught by her mother!"
As soon as the camera turned to the poor little girl Emily, she could only stay at home and let her mother teach her.
Because of this, Emily has no friends.
Her father was cold and cold, and her mother was nervous, so she had no choice but to daydream all day long.
In the picture, Emily is wearing a doctor's white coat and examining a monster.
Not playing with other children, and with her father and mother pushing each other around, Emily had no shelter in her world, making vinyl records like fried eggs. The woman next door was in a coma for several months. .I chose to sleep all at once, so that I could be awake day and night for the rest of my life.
Emily's only friend is a goldfish called "Sperm Whale", and the warmth of her family makes her neurasthenic and worried.
In the shot, the goldfish in the fish tank suddenly jumped out of the fish tank. It was so depressed that it wanted to commit suicide!
Emily screamed loudly when she saw this scene.
However, with the help of his parents, this depressed little goldfish was finally returned to the fish tank.
Goldfish attempted suicide several times, which increased the pressure on her mother, who was about to collapse.
Because every time the goldfish commits suicide, Emily always screams.
Finally she couldn't bear it anymore, so she dumped the little goldfish into the river.
The little goldfish is free, and her mother no longer has to collapse because of the little goldfish's suicide. But Emily's only friend was lost just like that!
In order to comfort Ai Meili, her mother gave her a Kodak camera.
Emily always clicked the shutter on things she thought were interesting. She fantasized that the clouds in the sky looked like various animals she liked.
Suddenly two cars collided not far in front of her!
The neighbor lied to her: "Little sister, you took photos and caused a car accident!"
But the neighbor’s prank made Emily believe it was true!
She was extremely scared, especially after seeing all kinds of disasters on TV. She looked at the TV and felt extremely guilty.
I even thought that all this was caused by myself.
A few days later, Emily found out that she had been teased by her neighbor.
Emily vows revenge!
This plot is very interesting and makes the audience curious, how will this poor child Emily take revenge?
The neighbor was watching the football game, and Emily sat next to the antenna on the roof with the radio.
When the game reached a critical moment and the players were about to take a shot, Emily unplugged the antenna with an expressionless face.
Then he took it back.
Seeing that he was about to shoot again, Emily unplugged the antenna again!
The neighbor had no idea what was going on. He watched the entire football match for ninety minutes without seeing a single shot, which made him painfully doubtful about his life.
He almost smashed the TV.
"Hahahaha!" Seeing this scene, everyone couldn't help laughing!
Especially when Emily was little, sitting there with a serious face, and then simply unplugging the antenna every time, and then comparing it to the neighbor's uncle looking crazy, it was so funny!
