Chapter 189 I’m so ugly

Cheng Long's "The Myth" will be adapted into a TV series at a cost of 4000 million. The Emperor wants to promote Gillian's comeback and has put a lot of effort into it.

Yang Shoucheng's move is destined to be in vain. In the end, Chen Kaige's "Mei Lanfang" cut out all her scenes.

"Slumdog Millionaire" has been in theaters for only four days, and the box office is approaching the 4 million yuan mark, setting the latest box office record for a non-Hollywood imported film in the past 2000 years.

It has an excellent reputation. After watching the movie in the theater, 5% of the audience unanimously said that "Slumdog Millionaire" is a movie worth going to the theater to watch.

Li Mu is also filming a new movie in Ludao.

Mengying, in its consistent style, directly promoted "Your Name" through all major channels.

I also edited a promotional video of about 1 minute, in which both the scenery and the characters are shot extremely beautifully, and the fresh style is refreshing.

As for Lu Xun's new movie, he can only maintain the popularity in a low-key manner and dare not make too much publicity.

"Li Mu is good at photographing women. Liu Yifei was so beautiful in the promotional video."

“I love this style and picture, it’s so fresh and fresh!”

"I heard that the cost of this fantasy romance film is quite high. It may be the most expensive romance film in China!"

The promotion of "Your Name" makes other movies lose any hope. There is no way, the two words "Li Mu" are too convincing.

The movies he made are always good.

"Director Li, this movie between you and Sissi looks so good." Zhou Xun is also always watching the news in the industry, and now it is all occupied by "Your Name".

"Come on, stop flattering me and prepare for your part quickly. Why do you, a driver, have the nerve to take a break?"

"Director Li, you are squeezing the labor force."

It's not Zhou Xun's turn yet, Yu Feihong's role is the main one.

The second backless scene is really a sex scene, but the camera only needs to capture the back.

"It's a bargain."

Li Mu couldn't help but muttered as he watched Luo Jin and Yu Feihong preparing.

"What, you want to direct and act yourself?" Liu Yifei smiled inexplicably, looking a little dangerous.

"Ahem, are you ready? Start shooting quickly."

Li Mu immediately commanded.

Duan Yihong was also present at this time, because this section was the scene where he discovered that his wife had cheated.

"The lenses on both sides perform their duties." Li Mu directed the photographer.

Li Mu always kept his and his wife's figures staggered, separated in the mirror and in the room, creating a sense of separation between the two worlds.

With Li Mu's "click", Luo Jin's welfare ended here.

Then comes the third segment, where Duan Yihong and Yu Feihong's scenes are also in this room.

For scenes like this, where the back is exposed, some actresses will ask for a stand-in, while some don't, and it's all up to the actress herself.

Li Mu doesn't have any requirements in this regard, because it's actually difficult for the audience to tell whether they are the same person when watching the movie, which does not affect the final effect. After all, this is not Li Bian's "Lust, Caution", where there is really no way to stand in for someone. .

But the sacrifice was not big, so Yu Feihong didn't have to use a stand-in, which just saved some effort.

Lu Xun recently secretly got the movie to be released in Japan. You must know that "Rabe's Diary" was banned from being released in Japan because it respected the original work and history to a great extent.

One can imagine how "fair" Lu Xun's movie was, so much so that Japan gave him the green light.

Yu Feihong's plot occupies about a quarter of the entire film. His wife suddenly dies of a cerebral hemorrhage at home, which is the focus of Yu Feihong's character. Then about three-quarters of the film tells the story of the protagonist's memories and memories left to him after his wife passed away. The protagonist's life and work are filled with an unspeakable sadness.

This also profoundly reveals a question that everyone must face: What does a person leave behind after he leaves this world?What secrets did she take away with her?

For a dead person, everything has gone with the wind. We can no longer greet her or talk to her. Everything that happened during her lifetime seems to be only the memories of the people around her, until they drift away and finally disappear.
"We watch actors' performances in movies and TV dramas every day. Sometimes we are moved, and sometimes we feel artificial. Good performances can express the irreplaceable nature of human existence and the indescribable complex emotions through performances."

Li Mu is still expressing the film's performance requirements to the leading actors. No matter how well armed the theory is, it doesn't help that the performances recorded by the camera lack strength.

He was more stringent about this movie than any other movie before. He kept trying and making mistakes when shooting the scene, and the crew repeated the shooting again and again.

Duan Yihong and others were severely punished by Li Mu.

However, the filming is still unsatisfactory, not only in terms of performance, but also in terms of camera.

"Okay, let's call it a day." The sun had set in the evening, and there was no way to continue filming. He directly called the crew to pack the necessary things and continue tomorrow.

Now there are two problems that lie before Li Mu: how to mobilize the actors in front of the camera to express their true feelings, and how can the camera record the complex emotions inside each person in detail.

Only by completing these two tasks can the film express its unique meaning.

"Director Li was too strict this time. He seemed to have only shot a few scenes today."

Some crew members were still whispering as they were cleaning up.

Liu Yifei was still helping, with traces of sweat on her forehead.

At this time, the setting sun was shining in the west, and the bright red light shone on Liu Yifei's gentle side face, and there was actually a kind of tranquility engraved in time.

Li Mu walked gently beside the staff member who was about to take away the camera, and said softly: "I'll use it."

Then he swung the camera to completely capture the scene. Liu Yifei didn't know if she felt it in her heart. When Li Mu was about to close the camera, she suddenly turned around and waved to the camera. Her sweet smile felt like So natural and harmonious.

Li Mu looked at the scenes being shot and quietly recalled this feeling.

"Is this how it feels?" Li Mu was not sure.

"Send it to me later, don't spread it out." Li Mu smiled and photographed the photographer, and then went back with Liu Yifei.

"Did I eat dog food?" The photographer was a little unsure, "But Director Li's photography was really good."

"Amu, were you filming me just now?" Liu Yifei raised her head and asked with a smile.

"Yeah, use the camera to zoom in and see what flaws are on your face."

Liu Yifei said coquettishly: "You lied, how could this girl have flaws?"

His little hands kept beating Li Mu lightly.

The Asian multi-lingual version of "Uncle Vanya" also needed some actors from other countries to play small supporting roles. Li Mu originally planned to choose one, so he asked CJ to help find suitable actresses.

As a result, CJ's Park Geun-tae didn't know if she was mistaken, so she directly gave Li Mu a stack of photos and resumes of beautiful 20-year-old Korean female stars, as if she was choosing a concubine.

Liu Yifei left traces on Li Mu's waist after seeing it.

Anyway, they were all sent over, and Li Mu planned to carefully pick them out, but it turned out that the faces were all too similar, and the recognition was pitifully low.

Although this character only has few scenes and is a dull sign language performer, Li Mu still has very high requirements for him, at least not to cause prosopagnosia in the audience.

"Let the crew go to the "Uncle Vanya" drama class to choose."

Li Mu simply gave up. Instead of choosing from here, it would be better to choose someone from the drama class with a distinctive face. His acting skills would also save him some trouble. His movie had no requirements for good looks, and the uglier ones would be more recognizable.

"Have you read them all?" Liu Yifei looked at Li Mu with some doubts. How could you read so many resumes and photos in a while?
"That's not true. In fact, seeing one person is probably equivalent to seeing everyone." "Why?"

"Because they all have the same face!"

"."

In Li Mu's new movie, Duan Yihong has the heaviest role. He is also under a lot of pressure these days. In addition, the filming has not gone smoothly these days, and the actors' emotions have been affected a lot.

"Brother Yihong, relax a little."

Zhou Xun watched Duan Yihong holding the script and studying it all day long, which was not a solution. His heart was too tense, which was not a good thing.

"Sister Feihong, you too."

Zhou Xun looked at Yu Feihong who was in distress and felt that there was nothing he could do to persuade him because he also had some minor problems.

On the contrary, Luo Jin has a better attitude, because he, a pretty boy, doesn't seem to have too many demands.

Li Mu couldn't help but smile when he saw several leading actors chewing on the script.

"Gather and prepare for today's scene." Li Mu's shout instantly attracted the attention of everyone in the crew, and Liu Yifei also turned her attention.

"By the way, from now on, everyone puts down the script and just be casual these two days. It doesn't matter if you can't remember the lines. It's not considered a formal filming."

Li Mu was equivalent to giving the crew two days off. When everyone heard this, their nervousness finally eased.

"Hurry up and get ready, watch what I do." Li Mu scolded with a smile.

"Brother Yihong, get ready!" Zhou Xun immediately put away the script, stretched out, and broadened his mind.

Now that the director has said this, Duan Yihong and the others no longer worry about it, and they just treat it as a test for the past two days.

Everyone was a lot more casual. They filmed for a while, made fun for a while, laughed, and the energy of the entire crew gradually increased.

Li Mu occasionally communicated with the photographer about the feel of the shot he wanted.

Then the crew began the transition period from loose to tight.

In April, the most anticipated film is "Your Name" produced by Mengying Media.

In terms of promotion, Mengying made another move, "It took six years to sharpen a sword, and this is director Li Mu's long-awaited starring role."

This gimmick suddenly became even bigger. I feel like if I don’t watch this movie, I may not know how many years later I will watch it next time.

The last time Li Mu starred was six years ago.

Things are rare and valuable, and the audience is now waiting for the movie to be released.

As for Lu Xun's new movie, it's not without any publicity, but it's not that high-profile, and StarMei still gave it a lot of support.

Li Mu looked at China Film's developments and almost gave up. No wonder China Film was not included in Lu Xun's movie "The King's Feast".

The cast of Han Sanping's "The Founding of the People's Republic of China" is really luxurious, and from time to time there are reports of big names making guest appearances.

Reporters stayed there, and the celebrities who appeared were even more exaggerated than those at the film festival.

This time, Cheng Long and Stephen Chow mainly requested roles and acted for free. Finally, Han Sanping looked around the list of roles and found that there were no suitable roles for them.

The two expressed their deep regret.

Yu Feihong's scenes were shot the fastest, and Li Mu also wanted to finish them as soon as possible, so as not to delay her later progress in "Love Is Afterlife".

Although she doesn't care, she has been working hard for two years anyway. In Yu Feihong's opinion, perfection is the best.

Yu Feihong's last scene was when he died at home from a cerebral hemorrhage, and this is where the real turning point of the story began.

Next is the scene between Duan Yihong and Zhou Xun.

Yu Feihong's role was finalized, and Liu Yifei specially held a finalization banquet for her.

Yu Feihong clinked the wine glass with Liu Yifei and Li Mu: "Director Li, Qianqian, you two are coming to my movie premiere."

"Senior sister, don't worry, I will take Amu with me when the time comes." Liu Yifei responded happily.

Liu Yifei has recently been listening to Yu Feihong's story about her love having an afterlife, and she is very interested in it.

Yu Feihong bumped into Liu Yifei again, raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Thank you, Producer Liu."

After a simple wrap-up party, the next day, the crew continued to work as usual, but the red car began to be used frequently.

Many of the shots are inside the car.

The salty sea breeze and the warm sunshine in spring make this coastal road so refreshing.

The world inside the car seems to be on a healing path through this unique scenery, just driving, driving, day by day.

Ning Hao may have stayed at home for too long, or maybe he was getting tired of being a nanny, so he left Xing Aina and his children behind, and came to Ludao alone, euphemistically calling it: "Tanban".

Ning Hao looked at the location of the crew and felt a little nostalgic: "I came here last time when I was filming racing."

"Has your movie passed the review?" During Li Mu's filming, Ning Hao revised it again and submitted it for review again.

"Rejected. How could Lu Xun's movie pass the review?"

"Have you seen it?" Li Mu looked at Ning Hao doubtfully. There seemed to be no test screenings recently.

"No, but I asked someone about it."

"Who told you not to have a good father?"

"That's not something I can choose on my own initiative."

"."

The two chatted in front of the monitor for a while, and Zhou Xun and others slowly walked over with the snacks brought by Ning Hao.

"Director Ning, where is your child? Why don't you bring it to everyone to take a look at?" Zhou Xun sat carelessly on the ground with potato chips stuffed in his mouth, not caring about his image at all.

Ning Hao glanced at Zhou Xun and directly changed the subject of the child: "Tsk, your clothes are so tasteless and make you look so tacky."

Zhou Xun blinked and looked at Li Mu.

Li Mu immediately retorted, "Who are you talking about? This is art, a literary film. Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand."

"Then why don't I see you giving Yifei such a rough treatment?" Ning Hao teased.

Zhou Xun stood up directly and patted Ning Hao's shoulder with his hands full of potato chips, "Director Ning, what you said is on point. Director Li's shot of Sissy was so beautiful! Take me. , look at how ugly I am, oh, my fans may have to rely on DNA to identify my once beautiful identity."

Everyone immediately became happy and there was a burst of laughter in the studio.

"Eat your potato chips, it won't stop your mouth."

"Qian Qian, your director Li is protecting the calf!"
