The filming of "Westward Journey" and "Changjin Lake" can be said to be completely different things.
Li Yi, who had just experienced filming in the harshest environment of "Changjin Lake", felt very relaxed when filming "Westward Journey".
And although this movie is said to be a tragedy at its core, the outside of the movie is a nonsensical comedy.
So the shooting process was very relaxed and enjoyable.
In order to maintain their status, several leading actors in the crew could not help but adopt the style of their characters when talking during normal times.
After going back and forth, everyone got along more and more harmoniously.
You know, in many production crews, in fact, it can be said that the cast level is very clear. Most of the time, the top male and female protagonists rarely get close to newcomers or actors with lower status in the crew.
, unless you are particularly popular.
However, in Li Yi's crew, many actors like this very much, because basically, when it comes to being a celebrity here, who can compare to Li Yi?
And because of the nonsensical style of "Westward Journey", the cast and crew members had an extremely pleasant time getting along with each other.
Influenced by the role, especially Liang Jiadong, he became particularly good at talking. On the contrary, he could have a few words with anyone on the crew.
On this day, during a break, a group of actors were chatting together, and suddenly Li Xixi asked Liang Jiadong.
"Teacher Liang, I have watched many of your movies. I have a question I have wanted to ask you for a long time. How do you become as fat as you want and as thin as you want?" Li Xixi's question made Wen Chuchu and Xue Yiran wait for their daughter.
The actors paid special attention.
After all, when it comes to losing weight, for actresses, they are almost either losing weight or in the process of losing weight.
Some actresses were originally very beautiful, but suddenly became fat and couldn't lose weight no matter what.
This is why many times, some actresses would rather take roles that ruin their image than take roles that require weight gain.
Liang Jiadong is indeed very good at this. He once gained weight and lost more than 30 pounds in a movie. Note that he gained weight first and then lost weight, and it was during the filming period.
"Want to learn? If you really want to learn, just say it. Do you really want to learn? In fact, it's normal to want to learn. You girls are the most concerned about your figure, but in fact, you don't need to care so much. We are actors...
...." Liang Jiadong almost opened his mouth and said a lot, but no one heard what he said about how he did it.
"Ka!" Li Xixi couldn't help but shouted loudly!
"Sorry, sorry, actually I really don't recommend you to follow me. First of all, when it comes to gaining weight, it mainly depends on how to gain weight. Whether to gain muscle or fat, it is definitely different. This is to gain muscle...
.It also depends on what part of the muscles you want to add, whether it is the face, arms, thighs, or abdominal muscles... Let’s talk about the face, our face is composed of 44 muscles...
...
Let me tell you, my face before...
When it comes to building muscle, I usually combine it with different exercises. Let me tell you, this exercise is also very particular..."
Liang Jiadong sputtered out a series of words.
As a result, everyone else looked at each other and thought to themselves, no wonder Sun Wukong couldn't help but beat him to death. It was so verbose!
"I'm going to the bathroom, do you want to come with me?" Wen Chuchu couldn't bear it anymore and couldn't help but said.
"I'll go too! Together!" Li Xixi raised her hand.
"Ah, I want to go too!" Xue Yiran stood up and agreed.
As a result, Liang Jiadong was embarrassed on the spot.
He couldn't help but slap his mouth. Since he played the verbose guy Tang Sanzang, Tang Sanzang actually has a lot of lines in this play, and it's really not that many. But the key is that every time he
Every time I say the lines, I either don't say them or say them all.
In order to maintain his condition, Liang Jiadong worked really hard.
As a result, he felt like he was stuck in the role, and he couldn't help but stuff things into it when he spoke.
Sometimes when asked what to eat for dinner, I can say dozens of sentences, which can make people dumbfounded.
"Westward Journey" was filmed smoothly in a cheerful atmosphere.
Even the progress far exceeded expectations.
The actors have a perfect tacit understanding, and other types of work on the crew also cooperate very well.
Makes shooting extremely easy.
Many scenes can even be passed in one take. There are even some scenes that I prepared to shoot repeatedly before, but in the end I passed them easily in just one or two scenes.
However, there are many popular people.
With Li Yi's current status, it can be said that his every move has attracted much attention.
"Westward Journey" has a nonsensical style. It can be said that this kind of movie was really popular twenty or thirty years ago.
Even in many Hong Kong films, you will find that there are more or less nonsensical elements in them.
However, to this day, in fact, many veteran directors of Hong Kong films still habitually fill in some nonsensical plots when making movies.
But nonsensical comedies are indeed not the mainstream nowadays.
Even comedy movies are becoming more and more difficult to conquer the audience, because these days, people's laughter can be said to have been greatly improved by fragmented short videos.
Ordinary comedies have a hard time making the audience laugh.
For example, during this year's Spring Festival, two more nonsensical comedy movies from Hong Kong were released, but both ended up being criticized.
"All I saw was embarrassment, no sense of comedy at all!"
“I really don’t understand, what age are we in, and are we still doing these old tricks?”
“It’s all memes on the Internet, can you come up with something innovative?”
"It's okay to force it to be funny. You can find similar jokes and jokes on the Internet, right?"
"Comedy is really not good anymore. In previous years, the Spring Festival was dominated by comedy movies. What about now?"
"It's not that comedies are no longer good, it's just a lack of innovation. However, it seems that nonsensical comedy movies are really no longer good!"
It can be said that nonsensical comedy movies were once one of the most important labels for Hong Kong films. However, after the rise of the mainland market and the decline of Hong Kong movies, nonsensical comedies are no longer so popular in the mainland, and are replaced by down-to-earth ones.
comedy movie.
Nowadays, even this kind of comedy is gradually becoming difficult to see in the market.
Today's comedies basically have to incorporate another theme, and there are fewer and fewer pure comedy movies.
Naturally, people soon thought of the "Westward Journey" that Li Yi was filming, which was obviously a nonsensical comedy.
Many netizens can't help but start to expect and question.
The expectation is that Li Yi can often create miracles. For example, "Infernal Affairs" and "Dark War" were both made when the outside world shouted that Hong Kong films are dead.
