tearjerker director

Chapter 1237

In terms of actors in "Harmony", it is not difficult to choose.

There are still many excellent actresses in Huaguo, and this movie itself does not have such high requirements for the appearance of the actors, but more about acting skills.

It's ironic to say, although many times, everyone says that many actresses actually let everyone ignore her acting skills because of their looks, and maybe there are indeed reasons for this.

But it is easy for you to find a beautiful actress, but it is very difficult to find a beautiful actress with good acting skills.

On the contrary, if we simply only look at acting skills, there are quite a few female actors in China whose acting skills are really quite good.

Moreover, although the reputation is a little worse, there is really no need for director Li Yi to worry about professionalism.

For example, the heroine in "Harmony" has a childbirth scene at the beginning. Everyone knows that as a female star, she must be beautiful anytime and anywhere, but they have another identity as an artist. In some TV dramas, they must Do some challenges.For example, one of the most hone acting skills: giving birth!
Some actors once joked that the most intuitive way to see if an actress has acting skills is to let them act in a scene where a child is born.

Although the twelve levels of pain were invented by netizens, it has to be said that labor pain is listed as the highest level of pain, which makes sense.

And this level of pain, if you want actors to act it out, you really can't do it without acting skills.

The point is, this kind of childbirth scene that will definitely make the expression collapse, a movie queen once said in an interview: When I didn’t have a child, I could only cry when I didn’t have a child, because I didn’t know how painful it was, but when I gave birth Only then did the child know that he was completely speechless at that time.

Therefore, the childbirth scene really tests the acting skills of the actors.

Although Li Yi's heroine this time is not the kind of top-notch actress, she is a queen-level actress, Sun Yu!

The reason why Sun Yu stands out from others is because of Sun Yu's proven acting skills on the one hand, and on the other hand because of his style.

Sun Yu's style is changeable, he can be happy or sad.

"Harmony" is a stick movie. Although this movie focuses on tearjerking, in fact, it is somewhat similar to "The Gift in Room No. [-]". It can be said to be in the same line. A little nonsensical taste.

The influence of Hong Kong movies can be seen. There are many movies with comedic effects, which are actually imitated from the nonsensical style of Hong Kong movies.

Even in the era when Hong Kong films have completely declined, this is still the case.

And the more this kind of play, the higher the requirements for the actors, because usually a good performance will make people feel the state of the other party's childbirth across the screen. Different people perform in different ways, but A good acting can easily make people feel pain across the screen.

But once the acting is not good, then the expression is purely broken, but at this time, this kind of scene, not only will not have the effect of making people feel painful, but will make people want to laugh and complain, so, all of a sudden The taste and ambiance just changed.

Of course, it was not so easy for "Harmony" to start filming.

There is still a lot of preparatory work to be done. For Li Yi, he needs to make certain corrections to the plot based on the actual situation.

For example, the opening part of the movie refers to the criminal law of Bangzi, but the movie he shot is a Chinese movie, so it must not be like the original version.

According to the relevant laws and regulations that Li Yi learned, if the crime is committed by a woman who is pregnant or breastfeeding her own baby and is sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment or criminal detention, she can be temporarily served outside prison, and the period of execution outside prison during breastfeeding is one year.

This is very different from the laws and regulations on the stick.

However, Hong Kong Island actually uses the Anglo-American legal system. Although it is different from Bangzi in this regard, it is also different from the mainland.

Like in China, pregnant women are temporarily served outside prison, and female prisoners are not allowed to bring children into prison, but Hong Kong Island does not prohibit female prisoners from giving birth in prison and women bring children into prison to serve their sentences!
Anyway, the background of "Harmony" was filmed against the background of Hong Kong Island, so it is not a big problem.

This also saves Li Yi a lot of things. Otherwise, if the background is changed, then although the movie can be shot like that, it will easily become completely fictional.

Although most of the time, movies will give that the story is purely fictitious, but this is just a statement. If it really makes people think that the story of the movie is completely false and fabricated, including background laws, etc., then it is completely bullshit up.

Of course, like in the movie, where children and prisoners are on the playground together, it is really prepared for the movie. In reality, even if female prisoners are not prevented from bringing children into prison, it is absolutely impossible to bring children with other prisoners.

However, there is no need to say anything about this.

After the actors were confirmed to play, they entered the Luohu Correctional Institution to experience prison life in advance. Yes, although this is not necessary, every actor did not refuse.

Of course, after all, the actors are experiencing life, and more contact and communication with the cases of the characters in the movie "Harmony" in the prison.

In many cases, it doesn't mean that good acting skills can be used to perform realistically. After all, you don't even know how they live and how to perform?
There is no such cognition at all, so no matter how good the acting skills are, what comes out of the show is just that you think they live like this.

Although the movie doesn't have to be exactly like reality, certain references are needed.

Two months passed in a flash.

The preliminary preparations for "Harmony" have been officially completed, and the filming will start soon.

The first filming was filmed in the Lo Wu Correctional Institution on Hong Kong Island. Of course, it was said to be in the Correctional Institution, but it was actually an independent building, not in the prison area.

The scene has already been set.

A production operating room, in fact, there is not much to arrange.

This scene mainly depends on the performance of the leading actor Sun Yu.

Originally, there was no need to play such difficult moves in the first scene after starting up, but Li Yi still went straight to this scene.

The main reason is that he has watched Sun Yu's previous episodes, and his acting skills are indeed very superb, and this scene is indeed difficult, but as long as the leading actor can enter the state, it is not particularly difficult, because although this is an action scene, But in fact, the scene is relatively single, and there are not many actors involved.

What's more, the doctors and nurses are not ordinary extras, but some old actors cameo.

"Every department is in its place!"

"The lights are in place!"

"Photography in place!"

"The actors are in place!"

"record!"

"The first scene of Harmony, the first shot, the first time, Action!"

With the sound of playing the board, it fell.

"Harmony" officially started filming.

Li Yi sat behind the monitor, staring at the monitor.

In fact, there is still a big difference between directly watching the actors perform and watching the pictures sent back from the monitor.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!"
This scene is actually a little different from other production scenes, because during the production process, the protagonist still needs to speak.

This is actually a test of the actor's on-the-spot adaptability.

"Shot No. 1, take a close-up shot of the heroine's face!" Li Yi commanded from the walkie-talkie.

Among the pictures sent back from the monitor, the lens was shot from top to bottom and from back to front.

Sun Yu is worthy of being the queen of the movie. The whole back of her head was pushed down, her chin was raised, her eyes were closed hard, and her mouth was opened, as if she had exhausted all her strength. The veins on her face were ferocious. It can be said that the onlookers can feel it To that strain and pain.

Li Yi couldn't help but nodded secretly.

"Take a deep breath, come on, work hard!" shouted the delivery nurse in the delivery room.

"Camera No. 2 is a frontal close-up of the face!" Li Yi continued to direct.

This time, the shot was not shot backwards, but shot directly from the front.

Sun Yu opened his eyes, sweating profusely, arched his whole body, and then fell heavily back on the bed.

"Do it again, take a breath, and use your strength!" The doctor who delivered the baby encouraged.

In the original version, here the heroine interacts with the doctor, which gives people the feeling that even if it is giving birth, they will not forget to be funny.

Li Yi doesn't reject this point, but it also depends on the situation. For example, the heroine played by Sun Yu just now is clearly on the verge of collapse, but she still speaks, which seems a little strange.

This time, Sun Yu took a deep breath, and when he wanted to exert force, his facial features began to become extremely ferocious, and his whole body also rose accordingly.

I can feel the pain through the screen
This time, the effort seemed to have exhausted all her strength. After her whole body arched, her head fell heavily back to the pillow.

It seemed that there was no strength left.

"It's out, it's out! Work harder, it'll be out in a minute!" the doctor shouted.

"You said it an hour ago! Stop lying!" The heroine Sun Yu, who seemed weak at first, raised her head and cursed angrily and crying!
"It's really coming out this time, breathe in, use your strength! Do it again! Come on!" The doctor spoke very fast while looking under the cover!
Sun Yu's eyes widened suddenly, as if he was going to use all his breastfeeding strength, he took a big breath, then gritted his teeth, and hung his whole head in the air.

The camera showed the doctor: "Come on, come out, come out, really come out!"

At this time, the camera was removed from the doctor, and someone immediately handed a baby to the doctor.

The doctor immediately removed the pacifier from the baby's mouth.

"Wow wow wow" A baby's cry sounded at the right time.

It's actually not that easy to shoot here, after all, it's hard to control the crying of the baby, but it doesn't matter, because even if the baby doesn't cry, it can be added later.

At this point, in fact, the first scene can basically be said to have passed the level.

Holding the baby, the doctor smiled and said, "It's a boy, congratulations!"

Sun Yu closed his eyes, tears rolled down the corners of his eyes.

This might be difficult for some actors, but for an actor of Sun Yu's level, it's really not that difficult.

On the contrary, it is relatively easier here.

"CUT! This one is over!" Li Yi shouted loudly.

"Yeah!" The crew shouted excitedly.

A good start, a good start, such a difficult scene, it's over in one pass, it's definitely a good start!
"Wow, wow!" But at this time, the little guy's cries became louder and louder.

Fortunately, a baby-care mother came up to take over the baby immediately, and after coaxing the baby a few times, the baby stopped crying.

Perhaps it was because of the confidence brought by the good start. In the next few days, there were not many scenes in Li Yi's plan. After all, no matter what happened in the early stage, the crew needed to adjust a bit.

But unexpectedly, the shooting went extremely smoothly.

The shooting of the day was often completed beyond the plan, and the atmosphere of the crew was very good. Even if Li Yi added a few more shootings, it was still completed very smoothly.

In fact, this also has a lot to do with the plot filmed earlier.

If the shooting of a movie is done according to the timeline of the movie, the early shooting is indeed beneficial.

Because the crew will also follow the plot, and have a complete plot towards cognition.

Unlike other out-of-order shootings, many people will not be able to follow the plot. After all, maybe what you shot in front of you is actually the later plot, so naturally it will not be so coherent.

Of course, at present, few directors will shoot directly according to the order of the plot of the movie like Li Yi.

Most of the time, it is a scene that directly concentrates the scenes of this scene to shoot.

In fact, even Li Yi is the same, if it is not because "Harmony" does not have too many scenes, the scenes are relatively single, otherwise, it would be difficult for him to shoot according to the timeline of the plot.

After all, many movies may have many filming locations, and the filming locations are distributed in different regions. Naturally, it is impossible to shoot one here today and go to the other side to shoot another tomorrow.

The previous scenes of "Harmony" are actually somewhat similar to "The Gift in Room No. [-]", and they are relatively relaxed, so, naturally, everyone will be affected and feel more relaxed.

Of course, this kind of shooting went well in the early stage, but it was hard to say in the later stage.

At that time, the plot will take a sharp turn. At that time, following the plot may not be a good thing.

However, it is impossible to shoot all the plots according to the time axis.

For example, a few scenes where people in the prison commit crimes.

These scenes were shot intensively.

The first is the scene where the heroine Sun Yu accidentally kills her husband, and then the scene where Yumei accidentally kills her husband, Wen Yu drives a car and kills someone
These few scenes are obviously incompatible with the previous atmosphere.

Therefore, the atmosphere of the entire crew also began to take a turn for the worse.

Of course, people may say that after the movie is released, this arrangement is too deliberate. These people, every single one of them committed crimes because they had no choice but to do so.

But this is really impossible to say, because if there is really a "big villain" female prisoner, then this movie will not be filmed directly.

Therefore, whether it is deliberate or too coincidental, in short, asking is nothing but writing!
These scenes represent the most unbearable memories of these people, and even exist like nightmares.

After all, without these, they would not have committed crimes and would not be here.
