tearjerker director

Chapter 1210 The Taste of Feelings

Li Yi is going to make a new film, the news must not be hidden.

Sometimes he loses really fast, and sometimes he loses really slow.

But compared to other directors, Li Yi has always been a quick shooter.

And this time, many people are looking forward to it, especially fans of Hong Kong Island, and those fans of old Hong Kong movies can be said to be most looking forward to it.

"Old Hong Kong movies, I don't know if Li Yi can make them. Although there are still a lot of old Hong Kong movies in the name of old Hong Kong movies, in fact, I still feel that they lack a little flavor."

"Who says it's not? What's missing? Actually, it's the Jianghu flavor, which is probably unique to modern Hong Kong Island?"

"No way, looking at the whole world, the history of Hong Kong Island is also extremely special, and the same is true of the social environment."

"Although in the real world, Hong Kong Island is getting better and better, at least not as chaotic as it was back then, but from the perspective of movies and culture, Hong Kong Island has lost its flavor."

"The so-called heroes come out of troubled times. Hong Kong Island in that era was actually a different kind of troubled times? So the Hong Kong films of that era had a unique flavor of Jiang Hu Lu Yuan, with a lively rhythm, Jianghu loyalty, young and Dangerous, Clubs, etc., etc., although these are cancer-like existences in the era of peace, in today's era of peace and prosperity, but from the perspective of movies, they are unique. If anyone else can make that kind of film again Perhaps Li Yi is the only one who has the authentic taste of old Hong Kong films."

"Could it be another movie like "The Thief of Time"?"

"It shouldn't be. Li Yike didn't use the banner of an old Hong Kong movie in "The Thief of Time" at the time, but just talked about the past events of Hong Kong Island."

In fact, in this era, the influence of old Hong Kong movies is still there, because many people who grew up in that era can be said to be in contact with those old Hong Kong movies the most.

For them, this is definitely an indelible feeling.

As for fans on Hong Kong Island, they naturally look forward to it even more.

In fact, today's living conditions, in all aspects, can be said to be far superior to those of the past for ordinary citizens, but at that time, Hong Kong Island was always special. Although the living standard and economic level were far inferior to the present, but No matter what, it is a unique existence, whether it is the status of the city or other aspects, it can be said that it is one of the few existences that Hong Kong Islanders are proud of.

Nowadays, although Hong Kong Island movies are not dead, they are no longer the mainstream of Chinese-language movies. For this reason, they naturally miss the Hong Kong movies of that era even more.

However, there are very few directors who can make movies with that taste again.

Because for those old Hong Kong Island filmmakers, they had to compromise with the market, and the focus naturally began to focus on the entire Chinese film market, not just Hong Kong Island.

Even, many will try to downplay the influence of Hong Kong Island.

This is why, most of the time, even Hong Kong movies, few people can make the original taste of the old movies.

The audience is different.

But for Li Yi, it was different.

First of all, his identity is different. For Hong Kong Islanders, he is the pride of the only remaining Hong Kong Island movies.

Secondly, his own ability is there, plus Li Yi's movies, he doesn't care about the box office, as long as his name is put on it, basically there is no need to worry, even local movies can create miracles, let alone other things .

The preparation of "A Lang's Story" can be said to be the most relaxed.

Of course, this relaxation means that although this movie is a story that happened in the last century, in fact, the location of the filming does not need to be changed too much.

Because some of the places where the story takes place are in the style of the 90s and [-]s, but even in this era, there are still many such buildings on Hong Kong Island.

It has to be said that this is also a feature of Hong Kong Island.

The development of Hong Kong Island is fast, and the pace of life is also fast, but the gap between the rich and the poor is also widening.

Even today, there are still many people living in the kind of house that they lived in 30 or [-] years ago.

Of course, some necessary changes are still required.

Like some stuff from that era, big ass TVs and stuff like that.

The point is, this time it is a Hong Kong movie, so for Li Yi's team, it really shouldn't be too easy.

Coupled with Li Yi's fame and status, so when he wants to film, he almost always gets the green light all the way, and all aspects of Hong Kong Island give him the greatest convenience.

If it is other directors, they may make a film, seal a road, etc., and the relevant departments of the Hong Kong government still need to consider it, but almost all of Li Yi's films will pass as long as the impact is not particularly large. .

As for the actors in the movie "A Lang's Story", Li Yi actually has a lot of choices, especially actresses, but from another level, he doesn't have many choices.

Although it can be said that many actors are capable of playing the role of the heroine, it is not so easy to act like a rich girl from Hong Kong Island in that era.

This can be said to have completely different characteristics from the rich girl in "The Thief of Time".

Although Fang Fei in "The Thief of Time" is also a lady of everyone, she is a lady of everyone who has not been out of society.

But Bobo in "A Lang's Story" is a rich girl who just came out of society.

The two seem to be similar, but in fact they are very different.

At the same time, Bobo in "A Lang's Story" has to span more than ten years, from a girl to a mature woman.

Such a role requires different styles and flavors in different eras.

Therefore, in terms of actresses, I finally found Xiao Hong, the only remaining actress in Hong Kong Island who is still active in the film industry.

On the other hand, Chen Weijie also made a lot of preparations in order to play the role of A Lang well.

He and the little actor who played his son Bozai, Binzai, have been almost like father and son for more than a month, and the key point is that in order to be able to act like Alang, Chen Weijie also went to experience being a truck driver during this period of time. .

The place to live is also an old apartment that the crew found.

There is no way, shooting film and television works with a sense of age, for actors, how to adapt to these is very important.

Although it is said that Chen Weijie also came from that era, after all, times have changed, and Chen Weijie has rarely experienced such a life in these years.

Not only that, when they saw Chen Weijie, those who knew him were all surprised.

The originally handsome short hair has become a medium-length hair like a pot head, and the temperament of the whole person has also changed a lot.

Simply put, it gets incredibly greasy.

Because although the whole film is about A Lang ten years ago, it shows more about A Lang ten years later. At that time, A Lang is no longer as young as he was back then.

This is actually why Li Yi usually likes to work with old actors.

Because old actors really save trouble and worry.
