Huayu started as a lecturer at Beijing Film Academy

In a dimly lit, romantic and warm restaurant, the last scene of "Ball Lightning" will be filmed here today, where the male and female protagonists date.

In Liu Cixin's science fiction novels, there has always been little emotional description, and some short stories have none at all.

Gu Zhongyu originally did not intend to add too many emotional scenes in a hard science fiction movie, but director Guo Fan and other producers said that considering the emotions of female audiences, even such a serious movie should still add some tenderness. When the time comes, it will depend on the editing situation and cut the appropriate amount.

According to the original work, the male protagonist Chen Guang and the female protagonist Lin Yun in the novel "Ball Lightning" are not a couple, at most they are just a little ambiguous. The male protagonist Chen Guang does like Lin Yun a little, and wants to confess to Lin Yun but is stopped. She said they are not the same kind of people.

Lin Yun likes Ding Yi, the man who is obsessed with physics like she is deeply obsessed with weapons, the man who has always been by her side and overcomes difficulties with her to pursue the truth, the man who can abandon traditional morality like her.

This is also because Liu Cixin described the male protagonist as too useless in the later part of the novel. He was afraid of this, exclaimed that, and even deliberately made things difficult for Ding Yi when he mistakenly thought that there was no observer and all the thunder balls were hit because Ding Yi talked about the wave-particle duality of the thunder ball. This is completely the style of a villain!

If Liu Cixin had portrayed the male protagonist like this in the Qidian novel, he would have been criticized by book friends!

The movie must be slightly adapted. First of all, all the ambiguous feelings between Ding Yi and Lin Yun were transferred to Chen Guang, and at the same time, the character of the male protagonist was slightly strengthened so that he would not appear too weak.

…

"You like weapons and danger, so what about war? Do you like it?" Gu Zhongyu asked Yang Mi while sitting at the side of the dining table.

"From the current situation, war is no longer a question of whether we like it or not. It will come one day, maybe tonight."

The two people's rivalry has been NG several times, because Yang Mi always couldn't help laughing when she saw Gu Zhongyu speaking the lines with a deep look on his face!

Filming! Be serious!

It was late, the candles on the candelabra on the table were almost burnt out, and there were only two people left in the restaurant. At this time, Gong Geer, who played the waiter, came over and asked them what song they wanted to listen to, obviously to order them to leave.

At this time, the male protagonist tried to find a lesser song, if he couldn't play it, maybe he could stay a little longer, and said to the waiter: "The passage in the suite of "One Thousand and One Nights" that describes Sinbad's voyage, I forgot what it was called."

Gong Geer shook his head awkwardly and asked him to focus on one song.

Yang Mi said to Gong Geer, "Let's play "Four Seasons". Then he said to Gu Zhongyu, "You must like "Summer", which is the season with thunder and lightning."

The man and the woman continued to talk to the melody of "Four Seasons". The topic was much more relaxed than before. Yang Mi continued, "I can now be sure that you have never talked to the most beautiful girl in the class."

"I did, in the library, with one of our class beauties, although I can't remember her name."

When "Four Seasons" was finished, it was finally time to leave. Yang Mi smiled and asked Gu Zhongyu to wait for a while: "Let me play the song "One Thousand and One Nights" for you."

Yang Mi sat in front of the piano, her slender and soft fingers dancing on the keys. The camera moved in front of her and gave a close-up shot. The picture on the monitor also froze here...

"Bang"

The champagne that had been prepared long ago was opened, and the bubbles shot out with the wine!

"I declare that "Ball Lightning" is officially finished today!" Guo Fan shouted excitedly with a loud speaker.

"Filming is finished!!!"

The crew cheered in unison, and the 40-day filming was finally over.

In fact, for a theater movie, 40 days of filming is not a long time, but they went to many places this time!

The crew first started filming in Yanjing, then went to Mount Tai, then flew to the deserted Jiuquan military base, and finally came to Harbin, traveling thousands of kilometers, from wearing single clothes to now wrapped in down jackets.

The labor intensity is still quite high in such a short period of time, so many people in the crew are working with illness, and even the heroine Yang Mi's rhinitis has begun to act up.

Guo Fan saw everyone's happy look, but he couldn't be happy at all.

Although the filming work is over, his work as a director is still not easy. The subsequent post-production special effects, editing, and soundtrack all need him to check, and another task has just begun.

And the company's idea is to catch up with the Spring Festival, so that time is even tighter. Now it's only two months away from the Spring Festival.

Gu Zhongyu was much more relaxed. He could leave the rest of the things to Guo Fan and others. As the boss of the company, he only needed to check.

"Everyone, pack up your things. The restaurant will be open for business tomorrow!"

Guo Fan directed the staff to start moving the cameras and other equipment to the car. At this time, Gu Zhongyu ran over and whispered a few words in his ear.

"Okay! After moving the equipment, let's go first. Don't dismantle the scenery for the time being. There may be some reshoots." After hearing this, Guo Fan immediately stopped the staff who were about to dismantle the romantic scenery.

"What's wrong, director? Is there anything else to reshoot? It's still early today, so it's better to shoot it all in one go."

Zhang Songwen asked, but before he could get a reply, he saw his good friend Zhou Yiwei running over to pull his arm and try to pull him away.

"Why are you pulling me?" At this time, Zhou Yiwei's eyes looked back frantically, motioning him to look over there, and then Zhang Songwen turned his head and saw Gu Zhongyu pulling Yang Mi and whispering something.

Oh!

I see, the male and female protagonists have to stay alone to reshoot?

Void photography, right?

They were all smart people. Guo Fan and other staff packed up their things and left the scene at the speed of light. Assistant Bai Lu was still planning to stay and watch the show as a light bulb, but was soon dragged away by Gong Geer's braid.

After a while, everyone left, and only Gu Zhongyu and Yang Mi were left in the restaurant.

"Why don't you let me go? The show is over, I want to go back and rest." Yang Mi's voice became very muffled. Rhinitis is her old problem, and it gets worse when the weather gets cold.

"Didn't I say before that I wanted to treat you to a romantic dinner? I see that the restaurant is decorated quite romantically today, so I might as well borrow some flowers to offer to you and treat you to a meal!"

"You are really taking advantage of your wife! The scenery is all paid for by the crew, and even the dishes are ready-made, right?"

"Isn't it me who pays for the crew? The wool comes from the sheep. As for the dishes, of course I won't let you, Yang Da Niu, eat the leftovers. Look..." Gu Zhongyu had already ordered a table of dishes, and just put them on the table.

"Knowing that you have rhinitis, I also specially asked someone to make some medicinal food and send it over. How about it, isn't it nice?"

"You are a little filial..." Yang Mi still looked calm on the surface, but he was actually very happy in his heart.

The two sat back at the table and started their second date of the day.

This meal took more than two hours. During the period, Yang Mi raised his head from time to time and asked: "Gu Delai, what do you think our relationship is now?"

"Don't talk, keep eating! ”

Please give me monthly tickets and recommendation tickets, comrades.
