Although the male and female protagonists of "Nuan Nuan Containing Light" have been decided, it will take some time to officially start filming.
Mainly because Li Yi is still changing the script.
Because the original version of this film is a foreign film after all, many speaking habits, lifestyles, etc. are completely different.
For example, in the original version, at the beginning, the hero's car was hit, and he just wrote a note saying: "Thank you!"
This kind of thing is almost impossible to happen in China.
Details such as these must be modified.
Of course, there are many similar details, dialogue methods, etc.
"Warm and Inner Light" is an atypical flashback movie.
Because the story is not told in chronological order.
And Li Yi especially likes the detail of hair color to hint at the chronological order.
Li Yi must make these things clear. This does not mean that the audience must understand it after watching it once, but at least the actors must understand it.
Otherwise, there will be big deviations during the performance.
In fact, this drama requires very high acting skills from the actors.
Because they are in different states at different times.
Soon, Li Yi cleared his mind.
In fact, for actors, it is not difficult to understand as long as they understand the context of the plot and the chronological order of each paragraph.
Of course, how to maintain the state at that time is a test of acting skills.
"So different colors of hairstyle represent different time periods?" Chu Xuexiang, who plays the heroine, asked during the script seminar.
Li Yi was not surprised that Chu Xuexiang would ask such a question.
Because the hairstyles of different colors are in this movie, it can be said to be a very important detail!
Even if she doesn't say it, Li Yi will mention it later!
"Yes, the hair color is used to distinguish the character's image in different time periods, and each color also has a different meaning."
"Can you be more specific?" Chu Xuexiang was still a little confused and continued to ask.
Others also looked at Li Yi curiously. It's not that they didn't understand the use of colors, but different directors also used colors differently.
Li Yi explained: "The symbolic meaning of color has actually existed since ancient times, and is often related to culture. Striking similarities can be found in different societies. Generally speaking, cool colors such as blue, green, light purple, etc. represent Calmness, alienation, and tranquility are less prominent in images. Warm colors such as red, yellow, orange, etc. represent aggression, violence, and excitement, and are very public in images.
Therefore, the overall tone of my film will be cold and melancholy blue and gray. The orange sports coat worn by Jiang Tingting at the beginning is very conspicuous. For a decadent and melancholy person like Chen Qiao, Jiang Tingting is like a A ray of sunshine. Therefore, Jiang Tingting's colorful hair is very bright throughout the film. To a certain extent, I hope to use these colors to show her inner loneliness, and I also want to express it in such a bright way. "
Chu Xuexiang nodded, thoughtfully.
Zhou Guo on the side couldn't help but said: "But wouldn't it be too difficult to understand?" Zhou Guo is Li Yi's old friend, otherwise, under normal circumstances, he would not open the door. Such a mouth.
Li Yi nodded and said, "Maybe a little bit. Even you have questions about this movie, let alone ordinary viewers."
In fact, Li Yi also considered whether to make the movie more accessible and understandable. Although the original movie had a good reputation, its actual performance at the box office was not that ideal.
Typical success but no success.
But in the end, Li Yi decided to follow the original order to narrate the story, because this is where the film shines.
Although the poor box office performance also has a lot to do with this messy narrative style, these can be overcome.
"I don't think so." Chu Xuexiang had a different view.
"Oh?" Li Yi and Zhou Guo both looked at Chu Xuexiang curiously.
“Actually, hair color, clothing color and other foreshadowings are not difficult to detect based on the current viewing level of the audience.
And although this chronological order does seem a bit complicated, it is not really incomprehensible. "
Chu Xuexiang's words awakened Li Yi. The original movie appeared relatively early. It can be said that the appreciation level of the audience at that time was definitely not as good as now.
Never underestimate your audience.
No matter what, Li Yi doesn't plan to change the script. At worst, he will find more people to interpret the movie.
Or Li Yi himself can go on a few more shows to promote it.
To put it bluntly, no matter how bad Li Yi's movie is, at least it will not collapse in the early stages.
For a movie like this, the most difficult thing is the early stage of release. After the early stage of release, many fans will spontaneously interpret the film.
Again, don’t underestimate the appreciation level of audiences in this era, because after being baptized by countless film and television works, their level is no longer comparable to the original.
The film quickly entered the shooting stage.
For the first scene, there is no need to choose this time, just shoot it in the order of the movie.
Because the first scene is a relatively simple scene, where the male protagonist wakes up at home.
There is nothing to say in this scene, because there is no dialogue, only the process of a man getting up.
The members of the crew are all senior members of Li Yi's team, so they were well prepared to start filming.
Although the first scene is relatively simple, everyone still attaches great importance to the first scene.
After all, the first scene represents a good start, and everyone hopes for a good omen.
Li Yi is naturally no exception.
"Every department is in its place!"
Soon Zhou Guo lay on the bed and closed his eyes.
He stretched out his hand and made an OK gesture!
"The first scene, the first shot, the first time of "Nuan Nuan Inner Light", a!" As the clap fell, the filming of "Nuan Nuan Inner Light" officially started.
Li Yi sat behind the monitor and looked inside the monitor.
"Shot No. 1 is a close-up of the face!" Li Yi commanded through the intercom.
Soon, in the monitor, a close-up of the male protagonist Zhou Guo's face was seen while sleeping.
Zhou Guo slowly opened her eyes and looked out the window.
"Shot No. 2 gives a close-up of the wind chime!"
The camera turned around, and camera No. 1 continued to face Zhou Guo, but it was no longer a close-up of his face.
Zhou Guo is worthy of being an actor. Don’t underestimate this scene of getting up. Although it is simple, it still requires a certain level of skill to achieve the effect of getting up naturally.
Getting up, dazed, kicking off the quilt, and other actions, all in one go, Li Yi nodded with satisfaction.
Sometimes an actor's acting skills don't necessarily mean watching those emotionally explosive scenes, but small details like this can better show whether the actor is experienced or not.
For example, when getting up, Zhou Guo does this very naturally by covering his forehead with his hand.
"Stuck! This one passed!
"Li Yi stood up and shouted with a smile.
"Okay!" Everyone in the crew shouted.
Maybe it's psychological reasons, maybe it's a good start, maybe it's the actors' good performance, anyway, the filming of "Warm and Bright" went very smoothly from the beginning.
Of course, this has a lot to do with the fact that Zhou Guo and Chu Xuexiang are indeed good enough.
More than two months have passed in the blink of an eye. Although the filming of this movie has not yet ended, the more critical scenes were shot very smoothly. A few scenes that I thought would encounter problems unexpectedly did not happen. question.
This greatly accelerated the filming progress of the film.
Although this movie is still some time away from release, it has always been the focus of everyone's attention to the outside world.
It’s quite interesting to say.
On the one hand, it was because Li Yi made a small fuss late at night, and on the other hand, it was actually because of the subject matter.
In fact, in China, there have been an endless stream of science fiction movies in the past few years. Although there are not many good ones, the scenes are getting bigger and bigger as they are made.
This seems to be a regular phenomenon in the industry. Every director likes to shoot for big productions and big scenes.
Moreover, the promotional slogans are extremely exaggerated, such as how many years it takes to sharpen a sword, how much money is spent on special effects shots, and so on.
Therefore, science fiction blockbusters are not uncommon. Although most of them fail, this thing is really not new.
On the contrary, soft science fiction like "Nuan Nuan Contains Light" has strangely rarely appeared on the big screen in recent years.
Therefore, it can arouse the curiosity of netizens even more.
Seeing that the discussion about this movie has been very popular, and the filming progress has exceeded expectations, Li Yi simply decided to move the movie to Singles' Day for release.
The original schedule was set for Valentine's Day.
But I couldn't stand the fact that the movie was shot too fast and the audience's enthusiasm was too high.
Every day, movie fans visit Li Yi's official account to inquire about the progress of the movie, and they enjoy it.
Time flies quickly with busy shooting, and it’s October. "Warm and Bright" was completed nearly a month earlier than expected.
Entering November, with less than two weeks left before Singles Day, Li Yi officially announced the completion of "Warm and Bright".
In fact, there are some "special effects" in this movie, which are the scenes after entering the memory.
There's really nothing to say about the special effects, though.
And when "The Light Within" was announced to be released on Singles' Day, the promotion began to enter its most intense stage.
In fact, since November, the atmosphere of Singles' Day has already risen due to the operation of merchants.
It's Singles' Day, but many singles can't help but complain. Especially the scheduled release of "Nuan Nuan Contains Light" has become the target of many netizens' complaints.
"It's a special Singles' Day, but are singles worthy of celebrating the holiday? Is it a Dog Abuse Day?"
"Isn't it? Director Gou of "Nuan Nuan Contains the Light" seemed to have said in an interview that this is the best romance film since the new century. What a fucking love film. When is your romance film scheduled for Singles' Day? What do you mean? Director Dog, please, be a human being!"
"I think it's pretty good. Don't forget, the dog director is also nicknamed the Tear-Jerker Director. This "Warm and Bright" is definitely another tear-jerker. This is taking care of us single dogs. Go watch it in the theater. It's better for lovers to cry bitterly than to eat a mouthful of dog food, right?"
"Upstairs, you are being naive. Couples cry bitterly. At least the girl has a shoulder to lean on and the man has a woman to hold him. But what can we singles do? We can only wipe our tears silently alone!" Too many tears!"
"So, there's no such thing as Singles' Day these days. Singles have such a stupid day!"
"Haha, the more passionate the love, the more tragic the breakup. It's good to be alone!"
"Haha, I can say that I am wondering which girl I should spend Singles Day with!"
"The cowhide upstairs looks like an old Neptune!"
"Actually, it's not scary to be single, or it's not scary to be single all the time. What's scary is that you come back after being single!"
Zhao Bin is a new single.
Why are you a newly single?
Because damn he just broke up with his girlfriend of three years.
It wasn't that a third party was involved, but that after the two fell in love, many problems began to arise.
These problems accumulated, and finally it was time to explode.
That day, they quarreled again. This time it was different from the past. Every time they quarreled in the past, he ended up coaxing her back.
But this time, he had had enough. She ran away like she always did in quarrels, but he didn't chase her or coax her.
The next day, she blocked him!
Zhao Bin didn't try to save it, because he really had enough.
I remembered the Weibo post Li Yi posted late at night a few months ago.
He was reading Weibo with his girlfriend at the time, and his answer was: "If you break up, just break up. What's the point of deleting all the memories if it doesn't matter?"
But now he hopes to really have that kind of memory erasure technology.
Because he is in pain now! When I wake up at night, I will habitually hug my girlfriend, but now...
When he thought of Singles' Day, he couldn't help but think of his girlfriend. It was on this day that he and she established their relationship.
They also went to see a romantic movie together.
That movie sucked though!
Zhao Bin couldn't help but think of the movie "Nuan Nuan Contains Light". He and his girlfriend were both fans of Li Yi.
When the project of "Nuan Nuan Contains Light" was established, they were still inseparable. Although they occasionally quarreled, they had not broken up yet.
Since Singles' Day is the day when they confirm their relationship, this day is Valentine's Day for them, the day to confirm their love.
For this reason, before they broke up, they also planned to watch this movie together.
Thinking of this, Zhao Bin couldn't help but smile bitterly, Director Dog is really weird.
Could it be a prophecy?
Otherwise, why would "Nuan Nuan Containing Light" be scheduled to be released on Singles' Day?
However, Zhao Bin couldn't help but turn on his mobile phone to search for information about "Nuan Nuan Containing Light".
He didn't know why, maybe it was to commemorate his lost love?
Suddenly he posted the information about the release of the trailer of "Warm and Bright".
Zhao Bin couldn't help but click on the link to enter the trailer playback interface.
This trailer is weird.
There was no one in the shot, only a tape recorder playing sound, and the sound was Zhou Guo’s:
"I think she is very smart, but unfortunately uneducated."
"We had no topic at all. She spent the whole day studying some third-rate fashion magazines and buying a bunch of useless things online."
"I feel so embarrassed every time I take him out to party with friends."
"Her hair is so messy every day."
"She is so proactive. Ever since we met, she has been the one to strike up conversations with me, and she is also very enthusiastic towards outsiders. I think she will do the same to other men sooner or later."
