Listening to the discussion among the classmates, Yang Lan felt like a deflated rubber ball. It seems that this time Yang Bei's movie may not have as good a box office success as "Charlotte".
Thinking of this, Yang Lan couldn't help but sigh.
On the other side of the Jianjiang Hengdian Film and Television City, Yang Bei still took every shooting very seriously.
"I looked at the winding path leading to the city, and could not hear the sound of my son running barefoot. The moonlight shone on the road, as if it was sprinkled with salt."
Every time Yang Bei reads this sentence, an empty shot of the moonlight shining on the ground will immediately appear in his mind.
But the beauty of this sentence is that it compares moonlight to salt. The saltiness of salt reminds people of tears, and further reminds people of the hardship and bitterness that people have to endure in life. It is heartbreaking to read.
During the filming of the movie, it was precisely because Yang Bei still remembered this sentence so many times in the movie that the moonlight illuminated the ground.
Once in Fugui, he lost all his money in gambling and stood slumped in the middle of the alley.
It once appeared when Fugui returned from the army and met his wife and daughter in an alley.
The last time he appeared was when Chun Sheng said goodbye to Fugui's family and walked deep into the alley.
These shots have all abandoned close-ups, and are all long shots or long shots with cold tones: the moonlight is like water, the figures are vague, the alley is filled with cyan mist, and the joys, sorrows, and joys seem so insignificant under the shining moonlight that they are not worth mentioning.
.
This is Yang Bei's continuation of the narrative method in the film, which is a kind of detached spectatorship and gaze, a kind of calm compassion.
When creating and processing movie lines, the film transforms the plain style into a humorous tone, even with a bit of black humor.
Fugui was heartbroken when he learned that his home had been burned down, but in order to immediately draw a clear line with Long Er, he immediately defended, "That's not our wood";
This sentence is enough to make people laugh, and in the movie, it is interpreted so vividly that people can't help but laugh out loud.
During the filming process, Yang Bei has been repeatedly polishing every scene, every shot and every line.
In Yang Bei's eyes, this is more than just the filming of a movie.
It is more about reflecting that era, the destiny of a generation, and the most real life. Only in this way can everyone have a real sense of involvement and be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
…
Southern Entertainment Weekly had negotiated with Beimang Company in advance about the interview. In order to increase publicity and build momentum for "Alive", Yang Bei and Gao Mang agreed to the reporter's interview.
Southern Entertainment Weekly is a newspaper with a good reputation, and it is well-known in the industry as a newspaper that only speaks the truth, so Gao Mang feels more at ease when leaving the interview during filming to them.
Yang Bei also specially spared his own time to be interviewed.
After all, this is also a great opportunity to promote the movie. How could Yang Bei let it go so easily? In addition to Yang Bei, every leading actor also conducted corresponding interviews.
The main content of the interview is everyone's understanding and opinion of the content of the film.
Yang Bei once exposed a photo of himself carrying a shadow puppet show on a promotional poster, so during the interview, Yang Bei also focused on the content of the shadow puppet show.
"First of all, shadow puppets are a kind of metaphor. Shadow puppets are at the mercy of the artist's hands, and their roles are passive and at the mercy of others. Looking back at the fate of Fugui and others, he is just like the shadow puppets in his hands, controlled by the times.
, fiddling with his destiny, he is also passive and powerless. At the same time, as a witness to Fugui's turbulent destiny, shadow puppetry participated in Fugui's life. Until the end of the movie, the remaining empty shadow puppet box was used by Fugui to give children
The chickens are making a nest, and at this time, the shadow puppets continue the hope of survival in the lives of the Fugui family in another way. The loud and high-pitched drama is coupled with the shadow puppets flying flexibly in the light and shadow, which enhances the viewing experience of the film.
.”
Zhao Liya made a certain analysis and introduction to the character she played, Jiazhen.
"Jia Zhen is a woman who has the common advantages of Chinese women. She is hard-working, kind, patient, hard-working and has a strong sense of family. But we cannot deny that Jiazhen is still a female representative under the oppression of thousands of years of feudal society.
She still embodies the weaker thought of "if you marry a chicken, follow the chicken; if you marry a dog, follow the dog". Later, due to her special living environment, she has been fighting instinctively against fate, so this kind of struggle appears in the face of the cruel reality.
It's very powerless, just adapting to the need to "live" until she dies, but after all, it also brings some hope to her while "living"."
Each of the leading actors expressed their understanding of the character and the movie in the interview, and everyone's interpretation is different.
…
Within two days, Southern Entertainment Weekly published a report about visiting the crew of the movie "Alive". The title was: The filming of the movie "Alive" has begun in Jianjiang. Our reporter visited the crew and the behind-the-scenes story of the filming!
"Why did the film choose to be shot in Jianjiang, and what kind of story does it contain? Recently, a group of reporters from Southern Entertainment Weekly visited the crew and interviewed the film director and some of the starring actors. Let's take a look at the behind-the-scenes of "Alive"
story……"
The report was very well written. It not only fully explained the roles played by each of the leading actors in the crew, but also fully promoted "Alive" in the report.
After seeing the report, many netizens have much higher expectations for the movie "Alive", but some people are still not very optimistic about "Alive" and feel that such movies are boring and heavy after all.
""There is only one true heroism in the world, and that is to still love life after knowing the truth of life. After I read the introduction of "Alive", there was only this sentence in my mind, Fugui is the real hero.
Heroes are representatives of thousands of heroes of that era! Just because of this, I will definitely support this movie!"
"Although I was a little tempted after reading the introductions of the protagonists, does this type of movie really make people fall asleep in the cinema? I am a person who hates period movies. Every time I watch it, it feels like I am learning history!
"
"I feel like Zhao Liya really understands the role this time. I will go to the cinema to see Zhao Liya's performance. I look forward to the day when "Alive" is released..."
"It doesn't matter whether the movie is good or not. What's important isn't that Yang Bei and Zhao Liya are collaborating again? Give me a thumbs up!"
""Alive" seems to tell a tragedy about longevity. In fact, Yang Bei wants to highlight the contradiction and coexistence between "fate" and "individual" through Fugui's life of wandering. It feels like a very good movie.
