Chapter 238 The movie is filming, the heroine is gone
Beijing, Huairou Film and Television Base.
"I Am Legend" is still filming indoor scenes here, and most of the indoor scenes are in Liu Ye's home, which he made into a base.
It has been a month since I returned from Shanghai. During this month, I took some shots of Liu Ye living at home, eating, exercising, watching movies, and doing experiments in the laboratory.
They are all very dull scenes, completely different from the filming in the Magic City.
If it weren't for the character's state that showed such tension from time to time, Liu Ye would have almost forgotten that this was a post-apocalyptic movie.
Even the scene where he closed all the iron doors and locked them when night fell, and then huddled in the bathtub in the bathroom with his automatic rifle and dog in his arms, was so relaxing that this scene took almost a day to shoot.
There are no close-ups, just fleeting facial expressions.
Fortunately, I have adjusted to the two different atmospheres, but when it came to my first scene with Yuan Quan today, I was out of shape again.
During the more than twenty days in the magical city, except for the scenes with my wife and children in my memories, it was all a one-man show.
Originally, in addition to the outdoor meeting scene, there were two indoor scenes between Yuan Quan and Zhang Zifeng. However, considering that they basically went day and night every day, it was too busy, and there were only two scenes, so they were moved to Huairou to shoot together.
.
It has been more than a month since he returned from the magical city, and Liu Ye has been filming a one-man show for more than a month. Now he suddenly has to act opposite others, and he is a little uncomfortable.
The scene in the morning happened because his pet dog died of an infection. The crazy male protagonist went to seek revenge from zombies at night, but was almost killed when he was attacked by zombies. He was rescued by another survivor played by Yuan Quan, and he returned home and woke up the next day.
's role.
Early in the morning, Liu Ye woke up in a daze when he was awakened by the TV in the living room.
Although this environment was his own home, he had not seen a living person in so many years, and he was ambushed, causing the death of his pet dog. Liu Ye got up from the sofa and immediately took out a pistol from a drawer and groped his way to the kitchen.
After seeing Yuan Quan and Zhang Zifeng's mother and daughter, although they were human beings, they breathed a sigh of relief, but they still held the gun in their hands, raised it slightly, and raised it to a place parallel to their waists. The muzzle of the gun was pointed at the people who were busy in the kitchen.
Yuan Quan.
Zhang Zifeng, who was doing his homework on the dining table, was a little frightened. The pen in his hand stopped and his body shrank back involuntarily.
However, after hiding with my mother for so many years, surviving in this apocalyptic world full of zombies, and experiencing various dangers, I am still relatively calm.
Yuan Quan heard the footsteps behind him and turned around.
The three of them just looked at each other. Liu Ye saw other people for the first time in several years and didn't know what to say for a while.
Even, I no longer know how to strike up a conversation with the dummies I practiced with in the video store.
He opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say hello or ask something, but he didn't know how to speak.
After living alone for so many years, no one talked to him. Even though he had a cheerful personality, he almost couldn't even speak at this time.
Puzzled, surprised, relaxed, wary, suspicious... unknown emotions appeared on Liu Ye's face. In the end, looking at these two weak women, they still put the gun on the table.
The sound of the pot on the stove broke the silence. Yuan Quan turned around and turned off the fire, took the vegetables out of the pot and placed them on the dining table.
"I see there is some cured ham in the refrigerator. You were just injured and need nutrition."
With that said, Yuan Quan pointed to the scar on Liu Ye's thigh.
"Who are you?"
Finally, Liu Ye spoke, but his tone was a bit stiff.
"Okay, click!"
After taking a long shot, Li Qian shouted to stop.
Before Li Qian could speak, Liu Ye raised his hand and said, "I'm sorry, I'm not in a good state. I filmed too many scenes by myself, and I don't feel it anymore."
Li Qian smiled and said, "It's good. This stiff state is just right. There is just something that needs to be changed."
Just put down the gun, don't let your hand hang there all the time, turn it around a few times irregularly, spread your hands, showing that you have no ill intentions, but at the same time, you look a little overwhelmed."
"Is that so?" Liu Ye said and moved his hands as Li Qian said.
"No, no, don't raise your hand. After putting down the gun, it still hangs down naturally. Don't move your arm, just below the wrist, that is, move your palm. I'm at a loss. I don't know what to do. I flip my palm randomly, hold it and open it.
, open and hold it, and then spread your palm with the palm facing up to signal that the other person is reassured."
"Be more casual. This would be too deliberate. It would look like an unconscious action."
"It's almost done, get ready to do it again."
Not to mention, after a one-man show for more than a month, he suddenly had an opponent. The rawness was just right for this scene.
It can be regarded as a blind cat encountering a dead mouse.
Asking Liu Ye to prepare, Li Qian came to Zhang Zifeng who was doing his summer homework with a smile.
"Zi Feng, is the homework difficult?"
"It's not difficult, it's very easy."
"It's so powerful. Come on, stop for a moment. Brother, let me tell you. When you see Uncle Liu Ye coming over with a gun, stop your hand. After you lean back on the chair a little bit, keep looking at it.
Uncle Liu Ye."
"is that so?"
After listening to Li Qian's words, Zhang Zifeng opened his eyes wide and stared at Li Qian.
"You don't need to stare so wide. Just look at things as you normally would and keep an expressionless face."
"Yes, that's it, very good."
He understood very quickly. Li Qian smiled slightly and touched Zhang Zifeng's brain to encourage him, but he avoided him with some disgust.
Yuan Quan said with a smile, "Director Li, please stop touching Zifeng's head, she is afraid of becoming bald."
"Bald? What the hell?"
"Uncle Liu Ye said that if a child's head is touched too much, he will be like Grandpa Zhang." Zhang Zifeng complained there.
"..."
In front of the camera, Zhang Zhonghua subconsciously touched the top of his head. Although he is getting older, the top of his head has gradually become sparse in the past two years, but it is not yet bald.
Liu Ye, who spread the rumors, could only smile awkwardly but politely.
It’s so good for a child to be innocent. I remember when he was in junior high school, his thoughts were still on the idea that kissing would make you pregnant.
Shake your head and get down to business.
"Sister Yuan Quan, you have to change a little bit in the reshoot later. Think about it, a weak woman living with her daughter in this era, even if it is not mentioned in the movie, I can imagine that the dangers you face will be no more than others.
few.
Moreover, women are naturally at a disadvantage and are only more sensitive than men, so the scene you just played should have been a feeling of pretending to be calm, because you don’t know what kind of person Brother Ye is."
In the absence of moral and legal constraints, women are undoubtedly at an absolute disadvantage.
But in the movie, after the heroine heard the broadcast, she still went to the Bund to find the hero, and saved him at the critical moment, even though she didn't know whether the man was a good person or a bad person.
Because I had no choice, it was too dangerous to take my daughter with me, so I had no choice but to hug each other for warmth.
But I am also worried that this person is some kind of bad guy and a beast.
On the one hand, we need safety, but on the other hand, we are afraid that the other party may have evil intentions.
After all, a person has lived alone for so many years and met a young and beautiful woman without any moral or legal constraints.
Isn't there a saying that says, "How many years in jail is a sow competing against a Diao Chan."
Moreover, in many of Mi Lijian's movies and TV shows about prisons, there is such a thing as picking up soap in every prison. They are not necessarily gay originally, many of them have been in there for a long time, and over time they no longer care whether they are male or female, or whether they are human.
The first time we played together, I still failed a few times.
In the next scene, they introduced themselves to each other at the dinner table. Yuan Quan said that they were going to the only human survival base in the country, deep in the Jinggang Mountains.
However, when he heard that there were still humans surviving, Liu Ye suddenly went crazy and overturned the tablecloth.
Yuan Quan, who had always pretended to be calm, was startled by Liu Ye's sudden madness. He suddenly stood up from the chair, pulled out the pistol on his waist, and looked at Liu Ye nervously.
Zhang Zifeng also held a kitchen knife tightly, which she took from the kitchen at some point.
This is an open kitchen. Now in big cities like Shanghai, many families will decorate it into an open kitchen in order to look good, with the dining table right next to the kitchen.
When people stay in extreme environments for a long time, they are most susceptible to irritation.
Liu Ye also realized that his behavior was inappropriate and felt a little sorry.
"I wanted to keep the piece of ham."
This is food for his dog. The dog is gone, so I keep it as a souvenir.
But in fact, because he hasn't had any contact with people for so long...it's only the dummy and the dog who make mechanical broadcasts every day. In fact, he has become numb and has given up hope for a long time. This has been going on for too long.
Now that he heard that there were survivors, he didn't know how to adapt. He couldn't face it for a while. Loneliness had already taken over him.
Moreover, since there are survivors, why are the survivors not his wife and daughter?
His wife and daughter are everything in his world. Without his wife and daughter, the whole world would be gone.
...
The three of them were rivals all day long, and they were indeed "rivals".
Before the relationship between the three of them was harmonious and the estrangement disappeared, most of the positions in the camera were in a triangular shape.
Zhang Zifeng sat in front of the TV with a small stool and watched DVDs. Liu Ye looked at her and thought of his daughter, feeling a little dazed.
Moreover, the content on the DVD is his daughter's favorite cartoon. He has watched it countless times in the past few years and can even recite every line.
Yuan Quan saw that this crazy man just now was staring at his daughter and saying every line on the TV. He was nervous and nervous. He didn't know what he was going to do, but he didn't dare to provoke him.
, just stood beside him, and the three of them always stood in a position close to an equilateral triangle.
After the day's shooting, I watched the developed samples from the previous few days with the rest of the crew in the evening.
After checking the summer schedule, "Tangshan Earthquake" received another 28 million at the box office on Monday, a solid 200 million in the second week, and 400 million in two weeks. This box office has simply gained wings and taken off with a bang.
Despite the great performance on the first working day, many people and media still questioned box office fraud.
Li Qian was also surprised. There were no blockbusters during the same period. It was probably not a company that had enough money to go to Huayang, and it would not benefit him.
Maybe, as Ma Xiaogang said, we just can’t stand the popularity of Chinese-language movies?
But it has nothing to do with Li Qian. Starting from October, Ma Xiaogang, the domestic film market has nothing to do with him.
The filming of "I Am Legend" is still going on as planned. At the end of July, Su Lun's "Warm and Inner Light" also returned to Huairou and began shooting indoor scenes.
The outdoor scene was filmed in two months. The progress is not fast, but it is not particularly slow. After all, it is also a film with good actors. It is not as exciting as "I Am Legend". The subject matter itself is attractive, and it mainly depends on Deng Chao.
The performance with Tong Liya should be slower.
Li Qian also came to another studio not far away to watch them filming. What was being filmed was the scene when Deng Chaoyi first underwent surgery.
It was a very simple scene. Deng Chao was lying on the bed with a relaxed look on his face, with a strange machine on his head.
I've been with my girlfriend for a long time, and I can't stand the shortcomings between each other. I quarrel every day and I'm impatient. Moreover, my girlfriend has erased her memory of him. Any man would be angry, so he deleted himself in anger.
memory.
This situation is just like in many romance movies. The hero and heroine have just broken up. How happy they are to be single and free again.
The process of deleting memories in the movie is very long, because in the middle of it the male protagonist is walking in the river of his own memories, completely going through the whole process of knowing and meeting his girlfriend.
Those scenes have already been filmed, here are just the scenes in the operating room.
It was easy at first, but then I became a bit reluctant and became more and more resistant. The process of dozens of minutes in the movie only lasted less than a few minutes when filming.
In this scene, Deng Chao appears in his memory. That is, after plugging in the machine and starting to erase his memory, the Deng Chao in his memory appears and watches himself on the hospital bed undergoing surgery.
I can’t explain it, but it’s a science fiction film anyway, so the audience can see it more intuitively, and it means the memory is concrete.
In the end, Deng Chao kept shouting at the doctor to stop, but the doctor couldn't see him at all and flirted with the little nurse.
This nurse was the one who later sent them the audio file of why they wanted to clear their memories before they started doing it, and kept criticizing the other person's shortcomings.
Because the doctor is married and the nurse is a third party, and every time he doesn't want to continue this relationship, he clears his memory with the doctor, but after clearing his memory, they still get together.
What should be together will be together after all.
I don’t know how many times I have been a third party, clearing my memory, and being a third party again, and my memory is clear. It wasn’t until the last time that I realized that I had cleared my memory many times, and then I chose to let the hero and heroine know the truth.
In the Mesozoic era, Chen Kun and Liu Ye became famous on the big screen early, and their acting skills are also recognized as one of the best among the Mesozoic niche actors.
In fact, Deng Chao, who can play emperors and domineering CEOs at first and small people in the market at worst, has been playing the second male lead in TV series such as "Assembly" and "Frequency of Life and Death", so his acting skills are underestimated.
After watching it for a while, Su Lun seemed to have arranged all the scenes for Deng Chao today, and nothing happened without Tong Liya.
Just in time, Li Qian said hello to Su Lun and took Tong Liya away, giving himself a holiday to combine work and rest, and rest.
While filming, the heroine was taken away, and Su Lun had no choice but to let someone be an investor.
After shooting a scene, Deng Chao noticed that Li Qian and Tong Liya were missing and came over to ask.
"Where are they?"
"Let's go eat. It's almost noon."
Su Lun looked at his watch and simply asked the crew to take a break and start eating.
"Come on, let's eat."
Finished work early, but Deng Chao was a little bit disappointed with the lunch he was holding.
They are all the protagonists. The investor took the heroine to have a big meal, and he, the hero, was eating a box lunch here.
What a miserable word.
Not even a crew director, I have to be Party A’s father to have a future.
