China Entertainment’s rescue plan is hard to come by

Chapter 606 Yu Feihong’s directorial mentality and Liu Yifei’s thoughts [two-in-one]

"Beijing Meets Seattle" is a rare film in the domestic romance film genre that has been extremely homogenized in later generations. Although there is nothing particularly novel in its plot, at least there are no routines. , is full of sincerity, and director Xue Xiaolu has created a fresh and artistic style, which has achieved success at the box office and word of mouth.

Especially the male and female protagonists of the movie, the brave goddess Tang Wei and the handsome uncle Wu Moubo, have become representatives of the best on-screen couples during that time.

I have to say that this movie deserves a lot of credit.

This is why when Sister Yu submitted the script, Sun Yi approved it without saying a word. He only had one request. If the script was to be significantly modified, his consent was required, and Sister Yu agreed at that time.

Sun Yi thought so.

This is a typical commercial script. As long as it is extensively revised, Sister Ren Yu, a literary young man, will not make any big mistakes if she can make Hua Er.

Facts have proved that his choice was correct.

The movie has been screened for most of the time, and there are no obvious flaws in any aspect from the plot to the rhythm, lines, or actors. Judging from Sun Yi's experience, the movie is basically stable.

He also relaxed and watched from the perspective of an ordinary movie fan.

The movie is not complicated and the plot is simple.

It is the love adventure story between Wen Jiajia, played by Yang Mi, who came to Seattle alone to wait for childbirth, and Frank, the driver of the confinement center played by Zhang Songwen.

Wen Jiajia used to be an editor of a food magazine, and she was full of romantic fantasies about love like the movie "Sleepless in Seattle". For the sake of her so-called love, she became the "mistress" of a successful man and became pregnant despite the dissuasion of her relatives and friends.

In order to obtain the status of an "American citizen" for her child, she traveled thousands of miles to come to a confinement center in Seattle to give birth to her child.

At the confinement center, Wen Jiajia's style of showing off her wealth aroused the disgust of the landlord and other pregnant women Zhou Yi and Chen Yue. Feeling lonely, she could only confide her heart to the driver Hao Zhi, also known as Frank.

The uncle Frank, who seemed a little down and out, was not an ordinary person. He was once a leading cardiovascular surgeon in China. Because of her family-oriented personality and her ex-wife's status as a strong woman, she chose to give up her career and came to the United States with her wife. Unexpectedly, she was divorced upon landing.

One is a mistress who is unruly and willful, barely speaks English, but is proficient in makeup and dressing up, and knows all kinds of brand-name luxury goods.

One is an honest, dull, second-married and child-rearing man who doesn't understand romance or sweet words, but is just omnipresent and meticulous.

Two people who both lacked something in their respective outlooks on life melted into each other through mutual contact, gradually understood the meaning of love and life, and finally came together.

Yu Feihong did not wear a long dress like Yang Mi and Liu Yifei tonight, but instead wore a very neutral dress.

The upper body is wearing a double-breasted white long-sleeved shirt with ruffled ruffles on the collar, and the lower body is wearing black trousers. Where the legs are folded, a small section of crystal jade feet is vaguely exposed. It has the unique charm of office ladies and the charming charm of mature women.

Now I am sitting in the front row with Sun Yi. It seems that I am watching a movie normally. In fact, my heart is far from calm as on the surface. I am always paying attention to the state of the fans at the scene.

It was different from the first "Love Is Afterlife", which she had been preparing for many years, and it suddenly changed from a feeling of regret after hearing about the death of a friend to a work that she had to give herself an explanation for.

When the movie was released, she didn't care anymore. She just wanted to fulfill a long-cherished wish in her heart.

But this "Beijing Meets Seattle" is completely different. How should I put it? This is how she defines herself and the first chapter of her career as a director.

So at this time, just like when Sun Yi's first "Those Years" was released, I was more or less worried about gains and losses, and I couldn't help but think of
Are the audience satisfied with my work? What do you think? Will you like it? Etc., etc.

Every exclamation and laughter from the audience made her react immediately. After learning that it was all positive feedback, her heart dropped in her throat slowly. This is what she would do at a normal premiere. The mind rises and falls, and rises again. In the process of falling, it repeats reincarnation.

It was very laborious and tiring, but when she saw the happy or excited expressions of the audience, she felt a strange emotion.

More exciting than orgasm, full of sense of accomplishment.

At the same time, the person who had some thoughts was Yang Mi sitting next to her.

Seeing her first film after joining Starry Sky, and her first big-screen work after cooperating with Sun Yi on "The Unknown", her joy was beyond words.

It doesn't matter whether she's a gold digger or a mistress, it's just a role.

Sun Yi told him before filming started.

The heroine of this movie has some minor flaws in her character background. Although it was later cleared up, it still has a dark history after all.

But Yang Mi doesn't care about this, let alone clearing her name in the later stage, even if she doesn't clear her name, she won't be afraid.

As an actor, roles are roles and people are people. If this can be confused by movie fans, then she will be happy. This shows that her acting skills are superb, just like Teacher Li Mingqi's Grandma Rong. It's not because she looks too similar. And it was replaced by movie fans.

However, to be honest, Yang Mi's performance in this movie is indeed remarkable.

Compared with Goddess Tang, who has a literary and artistic style and is a bit hateful, Yang Mi, a big girl from the capital, makes Wen Jiajia's "gold worshiper" in the early stage come to life.

During the customs scene, he spoke poor English and spoke to the visa officer, which made the fans laugh out loud.

When I came to the confinement center for the first time, I looked down on this one because I was rich, and looked down on the arrogance of that one.

It made the movie fans in front of the screen feel uncomfortable from the bottom of their hearts.

This is too annoying.

Don't tell me, Yang Mi is dressed in brand-name clothes, just standing there, holding a bag in one hand, taking off her sunglasses in the other hand, her charming face is slightly raising her chin, and she is giving you a look of disgust. , everyone will be itchy with hatred.

However, no matter how uncomfortable you feel, this is also a talent.

It is also the so-called empathy that an actor can attract the audience.

No matter how famous you are, you must have some ability to become famous.

It is precisely because Yang Mi played Wen Jiajia's arrogance, ignorance, and lack of outlook on life very well in the first half of the movie. In the middle and later stages of the movie, the plot begins to take a turn and the characters are slowly whitewashed.

Movie fans will discover that she is also a weak and helpless woman, and they will subconsciously feel sorry for her. Sister Yu handled the turning point in this section very delicately.

Yang Mi is arrogant and domineering, but she is also lonely inside. She goes back and takes the initiative to chat with Frank. Because her lack of outlook on life makes her think that as long as she has money, everything will be fine. It was Frank who told her that money is not everything.

Zhou Yi, a pregnant woman in the confinement center, had her amniotic fluid break. She mistakenly mistook the amniotic fluid for urine. But her life was at stake, so she endured the discomfort and tidied up for her, called an ambulance, and even ran for a block with her belly held out. To find someone to help.

I accidentally learned that Frank's daughter Julie had asthma and was allergic to stuffed things. She would silently take off her favorite fur coat and put it on inside out, destroying her most proud image.

For Frank's sake, he even made a big fuss at his ex-wife's wedding reception, just to give him some relief.

Yes, she is unruly and worships money, but various details also illustrate the kindness in this character. After the so-called father of the child lost power and even cut off her money supply, she would rather sell the clothes and jewelry that she had previously regarded as treasures. Bao Bao insisted on giving birth to the child and even made the decision to raise him independently.

Here, everyone can see the strong and beautiful side of Wen Jiajia's character.

In the end, she grew up, understood the true meaning of love, returned to China to deal with everything, and became self-reliant. After going round and round, she met Frank again, and the lovers finally got married.

When the movie ended, the audience burst into applause.

With her face glowing, Sister Yu, along with Yang Mi and Zhang Songwen, bowed to the fans and walked onto the stage to prepare for the next part.

Liu Yifei stood in the audience and clapped along. Having just watched the movie, she felt very emotional at this moment and glanced at Sun Yi with a meaningful look.

"what happened?"

Sun Yi was still confused and quickly asked his "little daughter" for any instructions.

Liu Yifei was a little unhappy. After sitting down, she pouted and said something.

"It's been a long time since you made a movie with me."

I added in my mind that it has been a long time since we played a couple together.

How long?

Sun Yi silently calculated in his mind that "Pacific Rim" had not just been staged, it had only been over half a year. Most of half a year.

Maybe, what a woman sees as a long time is not consistent with how a man perceives it.

Just like when a man squatted in a pit and said he would come out right away, he didn't know which horse it was right away.

In fact, Liu Yifei didn't want to interfere with Sun Yi's career, but she just couldn't help it.

She loves the profession of acting, that kind of pure love, and at the same time, she also loves Sun Yi deeply. In her opinion, if she can act with Sun Yi, it is simply the most beautiful thing in the world.

From "Into the Dust" at the beginning of the year, to "New Age" which has just been completed, if you include "The Disappearing Guest" filmed in the United States and "Inception" in which she participated, the two have already made four movies. Not together anymore.

If you follow her calculation, it does take a long time.

In "New Century", she actually didn't have many scenes. Although it was very difficult and the performance was very enjoyable, it only lasted two days in total. The role she played had nothing to do with Sun Yi, so in Liu Yifei's I can't even think about it in my mind.

While Sun Yi was thinking about this issue, the reporters on the stage began to interview him.

"Hi Director Yu, first of all, this is a very good-looking movie. I personally like it very much, but I also noticed that the male and female protagonists in the movie are relatively unsuccessful people in real life. I I would like to ask you what made you choose these two characters.”

The first reporter who asked the question was very skillful and focused the question directly on the character's background, which seemed a bit tricky.

Yu Feihong has been in the industry for many years and has seen a lot of things. After getting used to the title "Director Yu" for a while, she picked up the microphone and answered the reporter who asked the question:

"Thank you very much for your like. If I heard correctly, what you want to ask is why I chose two characters like a mistress and a middle-aged male."

"Actually, regarding the issue of the mistress, let's put aside the moral aspect. There are many things in this world. There is no right or wrong, only differences. For me, the most important thing about a love movie is "Is there love? ", rather than "Should we love or not?"

"In my opinion, the former is the basic ethics of a love movie, and the latter is the director, huh, which is a question of whether the three views of myself and the audience are consistent. If they are consistent, of course everything is fine, but if they are not, I The attitude is to seek common ground while reserving differences.”

Yu Feihong seemed to have answered, but in fact he avoided the question very cleverly.

The reporter was a little helpless and suddenly had an idea and turned to Sun Yi.
"Director Sun Yi also attended today's premiere. Could you please share your thoughts on this film?"

Sun Yi was sitting in the audience, and his name was suddenly called. Although it was a bit unruly, he could not refuse in such an occasion, so he had to stand up and take the microphone.

"As for your opinion on the movie, it must be great. As for the question you just asked, I can also answer you from my perspective."

"For the role of Wen Jiajia, I think many people will have the same preconceptions as this journalist."

Sun Yi came up and gave the reporter a sentence for not following the rules, which was considered a small punishment.

"Many times, when we hate someone, we often can't tell whether it is the person we hate or the person's identity."

"Hating all officials because they are corrupt, and hating mistresses because of mistresses is a kind of psychological extreme and narrow-mindedness. A person's good or evil lies in his essence, not in his camp.

"As for the character Wen Jiajia, although she is money-worshipping, flamboyant, and has a princess syndrome, she is kind at heart. Giving birth to a child for the one you love does not care about status or money. This is something that only a woman who truly loves deeply and is kind can have. courage."

"She just made a wrong step at an age when it was easy to make mistakes, and she found the right person when she came back. I think Director Yu also wants to tell girls through this movie that the love you imagine now may not be true. For love, people should mature."

"What this movie wants to convey is a view of mutual love. When two people are together, what matters is not money, not status, but companionship. So what about the mistress, what about the down-and-out doctor, what about I have an ex-wife and you have a son? ? What's the use of worrying so much.

"Love is when someone can hold you tightly and feel each other's warmth. The most precious thing in the world is that there is a continuous rain outside the window, and there is a person standing in the window to watch the scenery with you."

What Sun Yi said was true to his feelings and even understood it better than the director of the original film. He even received applause from both the stage and the audience.
