Chen Weijie thought about it carefully and nodded.
Everyone's understanding of the role is different, and it doesn't mean that Li Yi is definitely right.
In fact, many times, the key to such details lies in a feeling.
How will Alang react when he sees the girl he once deeply loved and hurt again ten years later?
Different people actually have different reactions.
But the emotions are the same, namely surprise, anxiety, and avoidance.
Surprises are human nature. She is always the woman he has loved and hurt, and the mother of his children. Therefore, when he sees her again, there will definitely be surprises, but this surprise is not everything.
He would still be worried, because as far as Alang was concerned, he had never been the kind of man who could speak well. How should he face her?
Perhaps he had thought countless times about what he would do if he saw Bobo again, but after he actually saw him, his previous assumptions would dissipate, because no matter what, it could not be perfect.
"I can do it! Try again!" Chen Weijie said.
"Okay, get ready and do it again." Li Yi shouted.
"The twenty-eighth scene of "Alang's Story", the second shot, the second time, a!"
This time, Chen Weijie's performance was much better than before, and the fluctuations in his facial expressions were not so exaggerated.
However, Li Yi still felt dissatisfied.
In fact, ng is a very normal thing, and ng in feature films can often be said to be commonplace. In fact, Li Yi's film requirements are not so elaborate. Some directors of literary and artistic films, even in many cases, he himself does not know what he wants. The effect was the same, so I polished it over and over again, over and over again.
As a result, at the end of the grind, I suddenly felt that the previous one was better?
Many literary film directors can even torture actors into madness.
How do you say something? I’m not afraid that you’ll make a request, but I’m afraid that you won’t ask for it!
So, does "Alang's Story" count as a literary film?
In fact, it counts!
Because the movie does not have much of a refreshing popcorn flavor. On the contrary, the pace of this movie is not fast.
And the whole story actually doesn’t have many ups and downs.
Such a story is a great test of the actor's acting skills.
Although there were some twists and turns during the filming, fortunately, the actors were all good actors, the director was also an experienced director, and the team was an experienced team. Li Yi was not the kind of picky director, so the filming speed was still very fast.
In less than two months, the entire film was announced to be completed.
In terms of post-production, there is no trouble. After all, Li Yi already has it here.
Movies like "A Lang's Story" are originally literary and artistic films, and most of them take the route of competing for awards, but for Li Yi's movies, it is really not that necessary.
As for "Alang's Story", although it is just a literary film, the level of attention it has received is not low at all.
First of all, this movie originally had the title of "reviving the style of old Hong Kong films". Although many old Hong Kong directors have used such a banner these days, the result was that it failed. Sheep heads sell dog meat.
But this is Li Yi's movie, so that's another story.
Since "A Lang's Story" is in the name of recreating the style of old Hong Kong films, the theater where it premieres naturally needs a sense of ceremony.
Gem Cinema in Hung Hom, Hong Kong Island, this cinema can be said to be one of the oldest existing cinemas in Hong Kong Island.
Gem Cinema may not be the largest cinema on Hong Kong Island, nor is it the cinema with the longest history, but it is definitely the most retro cinema.
It is even hard for many people to imagine that this cinema still maintains many of its old styles, such as handwritten movie tickets and ticket windows, which still use the old style. Although the interior decoration is definitely different from the early years, it remains the same. With such an old style and old taste, cinemas can still be said to be rare.
This theater cannot pay for tickets online, and there is no automatic ticket vending machine. The ticket sales method is still very primitive.
On a piece of paper with movie theater seats drawn, the uncrossed areas are the seats available to the audience.
There is also an old film projector placed in the cinema, which seems to tell the history of the film world.
In fact, Gem Cinema has also become a check-in place for many tourists on Hong Kong Island.
The first screening of "A Lang's Story" is said to be a screening, but in fact, it is not much different from the premiere.
Because the people invited were not only film critics and media people, but also some old fans of Hong Kong films and old filmmakers.
"I didn't expect that there is such a cinema in Hong Kong Island, tsk tsk!" Liu Fei, as a specially invited film critic, came here with Chen Jingning, and he was also extremely surprised.
"Who says it's not the case? The handwritten movie tickets just now were really shocking!" Chen Jingning also sighed.
"I'm looking forward to this movie more and more. Maybe Director Gou can really capture the Hong Kong flavor of the past." Liu Fei said with a smile.
"He never disappoints and this time is no exception."
Although the ticket sales method of the cinema is primitive, the interior decoration and equipment are not old at all.
The entire cinema was packed with seats, but when the lights dimmed, it was like a switch was turned on, and the entire cinema suddenly became silent.
The movie officially started screening.
The first scene that catches the audience's eyes is the old streets of old Hong Kong Island in the 1980s.
At dawn, the sky was slightly bright, and a garbage truck was collecting garbage.
The garbage truck drove away, and a small white sheep motorcycle appeared in the camera lens, and the camera slowly moved upward.
Suddenly, it's dawn!
A piercing alarm clock rang, and A Lang, played by Chen Weijie, appeared for the first time.
However, when the camera was shown on his face, many viewers were a little stunned.
Because it can be said that I haven’t seen Chen Weijie dressed like this for many years.
A smell of the marketplace burst out of the screen.
Although it was just a few words, it was just the most common scene of a father and son getting up, but it could already make people feel that although the father and son did not live a wealthy life, the relationship between father and son was very good.
Especially when Alang was driving his son Bozai to school on his motorcycle, the father and son were actually discussing how to tell the teacher why he was late in the car.
It was obvious that Alang was not the kind of strict father, and the two of them got along more like friends.
This section did not deliberately show the warmth between the father and son, but rather a rough daily life, but it made many viewers feel very comfortable.
Alang drives a truck at a construction site. Because he is often late, he has to have a lot of wages deducted every month.
Although he explained that he took leave because his son was ill, the manager had his own explanation.
Alang felt uncomfortable, but he endured it because he needed this job.
