Chapter 567: A love letter to movies, written in a low-key manner
Li Yi is preparing to shoot "Cinema Paradiso", but the most excited person is Gil Toledo.
Especially when Li Yi promised him a position as assistant director.
Gil Toledo was so excited that he almost jumped up.
Of course, although he is the assistant director, Gil Toledo cannot be in charge of filming. However, as a local, he is very familiar with the small town of Cefalu, and Cinema Paradiso is still his family's property.
Bertolt Manning's efficiency in doing things is extremely fast.
I don’t know if he wanted Li Yi to experience the influence of this famous Italian director. In just three days, Berto Manning brought a complete crew to Li Yi.
In addition to directing, all other types of work are complete, and an experienced assistant director was also found for Li Yi to lead the crew.
As for the actors, it was Li Yi who was most surprised.
Berto Manning found the "David Award", the highest award in the Italian film industry, also known as the youngest actor of the Italian Film Academy Award, Marco Casio.
After just a brief audition, Li Yi directly cast Mark Casio to play the male protagonist of the movie "Childhood Duoduo".
As for the other male protagonist, the role of film projectionist Alfredo, the same Berto Manning also found a famous Italian actor and Venice Film Festival winner, Del Rossi, for Li Yi!
What's even more interesting is that for the role of the priest, Berto Manning specially found a professional "priest", "pastor" and "clergyman" actor for Li Yi. He once won the best supporting actor at the Italian Religious Film Festival for his role as a priest.
Veteran actor, Eric Bedoli.
Not only that, in terms of soundtrack, Berto Manning also found the famous soundtrack master in the film industry, Andre Frankie, for Li Yi.
The other party was originally busy with the soundtracks for other movies, but after receiving the script for "Cinema Paradiso", he even dropped the soundtrack work for that movie and hurried over.
Wait, wait, it can almost be said that this is a role that is very suitable for Li Yi's "Cinema Paradiso".
It was the first time that Li Yi felt like he only had to direct the movie step by step according to the script.
He doesn't need to worry about anything else.
Just like this, the entire crew of "Cinema Paradiso" was fully formed in less than half a month of preparation.
For Li Yi, in fact, it is enough to reproduce the original movie of "Cinema Paradiso". Of course, because it is a different world after all, the movies shown in "Cinema Paradiso" are all different.
During this period, the busiest person was actually Gil Toledo.
He is more excited and positive than director Li Yi.
On this day, Li Yi found Gil Toledo.
"Jill, there is something very, very important that you need to do." Li Yi said with a serious look on his face.
"Director, just give me your orders!" Gil Toledo was really passionate about love. Hearing Li Yi say that he had something very important to do, he immediately said with a serious face.
"There will be a lot of cut kiss scenes in the movie, and these kiss scenes will be given to Duoduo by the deceased Alfredo at the end of the movie, and will be played at the end of the movie, and
This is also the most essential and romantic scene in the whole movie!" Li Yi said with a smile.
Gil Toledo's eyes suddenly lit up.
Because when Li Yi told the story of "Cinema Paradiso" before, he just told the story and did not say anything specific.
Therefore, he didn't know that the movie actually had such a plot.
Gil Toledo couldn't help but recall the scene of middle-aged Duoduo watching the kissing scenes.
I feel like the whole movie has been elevated by this!
Does it matter?
So important!
Gil Toledo's face flushed with excitement and he said: "Lee, don't worry, I will do my best to find that classic kissing scene for the movie!"
Although he originally served as the assistant director of "Cinema Paradiso", in fact, he was just an assistant director responsible for doing odd jobs.
But even so, he was happy with it, but after all, it was just a chore.
But what Li Yi is explaining now is really about the content of the movie. Although it is not a shooting task, in Gil Toledo's view, it is an extremely important thing.
To this end, Gil Toledo quickly started working.
On the other hand, "Cinema Paradiso" quickly completed all preparatory work with the help of the famous Italian director Berto Manning.
In the small town of Cefalù, Sicily, Italy, a simple opening ceremony was held in a low-key manner.
Then it’s officially launched here!
Of course, the film did not invite the media, and it can even be said that except for the participants, almost no one knew about it.
This is Italy, and it is an inconspicuous town on the island of Sicily that does not attract any attention at all.
"Cinema Paradiso" is not originally a commercial movie. On the contrary, it can be said to be a very special and special movie.
Once upon a time, in its original time and space, this movie could be said to be a film that spanned time and space, arrived as promised, and brought the audience a "never-ending" viewing experience.
Unlike most movies, "Cinema Paradiso" is a movie about movies. It is not only an ode to movies and movie fans, but also a love letter to movies.
For a movie like this, it would be vulgar to talk about box office. Li Yi never thought about how much box office he could get with this movie.
Because that’s not realistic!
Mainly because he really liked this movie, and after coming to Sicily, what he saw and heard, and the enthusiastic help of directors Gil Toledo and Berto Manning, he chose
Just be willful and prepare to shoot this movie right here.
...
In China, "War Meridian" has been released. In the end, this movie failed to surpass "Wreaths Under the Mountain", but with a box office of 2.8 billion, Li Yi once again became the most handsome boy in the film industry!
"'War Meridian' has once again created a box-office miracle for main theme movies. Director Li Yi tells everyone with facts that it does not have to be a blockbuster to be a hit. As long as there is sincerity in the movie, the audience will always be willing to pay for it!"
""War Meridian" was released for 32 days and was released yesterday. The final box office revenue was 2.8 billion Chinese dollars. This movie has no big scenes and no big special effects. Even among war movies, it can only be regarded as a low-budget movie, but it is...
The National Day stalls shine with the most dazzling light!”
"A movie in which all the characters have no names - "War Meridian" was released for 32 days and grossed 2.8 billion at the box office!"
"War Meridian" is probably the weirdest one among many war movies. All the characters in this movie have no names.
Some are just names like code names.
Art troupe, trumpet, old military doctor, platoon leader, Cao'er, ten and a half years old, mountain artillery...
But it is such a movie that left an extremely deep impression on countless audiences during this year’s National Day release!
It is such a movie that makes countless people cry. Many scenes in it are even unforgettable! They will never be forgotten!
