Chapter 1,211 Old Cinema, Old Taste
Chen Weijie thought about it carefully and nodded.
Everyone has a different understanding of the role, and it doesn’t mean that Li Yi is necessarily right.
In fact, many times, the key to this detail lies in a feeling.
What would it be like to see the girl I once loved and hurt ten years later?
Different people actually have different reactions.
But the emotional aspect is the same, that is surprise, anxiety, and avoidance.
Surprise is a natural love. She is always the woman she has loved and hurt, and the mother of her children. Therefore, when you see her again and see her, you will definitely have a surprise, but this surprise is not all.
He was still nervous because Yu Alang had never been the kind of man who could speak eloquently. How should he face her?
Maybe he had thought about what would happen if he saw Bobo again, but after he really saw him, his previous ideas would disappear because no matter what, it would not be perfect.
"I can do it! Try again!" Chen Weijie said.
"Okay, prepare and do it again." Li Yi shouted.
"The Twenty-eighth scene of "Alang's Story", the second shot, the second time!"
This time, Chen Weijie performed much better than before, and the fluctuations in his facial expressions were not that exaggerated.
However, Li Yi still felt dissatisfied.
In fact, NG is a normal thing, and NG in drama films can often be said to be commonplace. Li Yi's movies actually require not that sensible. Some art film directors, even often, don't know what effect they need, so they grind it over and over again, over and over again.
As a result, when I finally got to the end, I suddenly felt that the previous one was better?
Many literary and artistic film directors can even torture actors crazy.
What is there to say? I’m not afraid of you making a request, but I’m afraid you don’t!
So is "Alang's Story" considered an art film?
Actually, it's counted!
Because the film does not have much popcorn flavor that makes people feel refreshed, on the contrary, the pace of this movie is not fast.
And the whole story has not many ups and downs.
Such a story is a test of the actor's acting skills when filmed.
Although there were some twists and turns in the shooting in the middle, fortunately, the actors are all good actors, the directors are also old directors, and the team is even more experienced. Li Yi is not the kind of nitpicking director, so the filming speed is still very fast.
In less than two months, the entire film was announced to be completed.
There is no trouble in post-production, after all, Li Yi already has a ready-made one here.
Films like "A Lang's Story" are mostly based on the winning route of awards, but for Li Yi's movies, it is really not so necessary.
Although "The Story of Alang", although it is just an art film, it has received no low attention.
At the beginning, this movie was named "recreating the style of old Hong Kong films". Although many old directors in Hong Kong have used this banner these days, they ended up selling dog meat under the guise of sheep.
But this is Li Yi's movie, that's another matter.
Since "A Lang's Story" is a name that recreates the style of an old Hong Kong film, the premiere of the theater naturally needs a sense of ritual.
Hong Kong Island Hung Hom Gem Cinema, this theater can be said to be one of the oldest cinemas in Hong Kong.
Gem Cinema may not be the largest theater in Hong Kong, nor is it the one with the longest history, but it is definitely the most retro theater.
Many people can hardly imagine that this theater still maintains many old styles, such as handwritten movie tickets and ticket windows, which still use the old style. Although the interior decoration is definitely different from the early years, the theater with such old style and old flavor can still be said to be rare.
This cinema cannot pay online tickets and does not have an automatic ticket vending machine, so the ticket sales method is still very primitive.
On a piece of paper with a cinema seat, there is no crossover to be the seats available to the audience.
The cinema also houses an old film movie projector, as if telling the history of the movie world.
In fact, the Gem Cinema has also become a place for many tourists to check in on Hong Kong Island.
The preview of "A Lang's Story" is said to be a preview, but in fact, it is not much different from the premiere.
Because there were not only film critics, media people, but also some old Hong Kong film fans and old filmmakers.
"I didn't expect there was such a cinema in Hong Kong, tsk!" Liu Fei, as a special film critic, came here with Chen Jingning, was extremely surprised.
"Who said no? The handwritten movie tickets just now were really shocking!" Chen Jingning also sighed.
"I am looking forward to this movie more and more. Maybe the dog director can really make the Hong Kong-au-e-speaking flavor I used to be." Liu Fei said with a smile.
"He has never disappointed me, and this time is no exception."
Although the ticket sales method of the cinema is original, the interior decoration and equipment are not old at all.
The entire cinema was full, but when the lights dimmed, it seemed like the switch was pressed, and the entire cinema suddenly became silent.
The film officially begins screening.
The first act that caught the audience's eye was the old streets of Old Hong Kong Island in the 1980s.
At dawn, it was light and a garbage truck was collecting garbage.
The garbage truck drove away, and a white little sheep motorcycle appeared in the camera, and the camera slowly moved upwards.
Suddenly, it was dawn!
A harsh alarm clock rang, and Alang, played by Chen Weijie, appeared on the screen for the first time.
However, when the camera was given to his face, many viewers were a little surprised.
Because it can be said that I haven't seen Chen Weijie like this for many years.
A smell of the market broke out.
Although it is just a few words and the most common scene of the father and son getting up, it can be felt that although the father and son are not rich, the relationship between father and son is very good.
Especially when Alang rode his son Bozai to school on a motorcycle, the father and son were discussing how to tell the teacher why they were late.
It is obvious that Alang is not the kind of strict father, and the two get along more like friends.
This section does not deliberately show how warm the father and son are. It only has a rough daily life, but it makes many viewers feel very comfortable.
Alang drove a truck at the construction site. Because he was often late, he was deducted a lot of salary every month.
Although he explained that he asked for leave because his son was sick, the manager had his own set of words.
Alang felt uncomfortable, but he held back because he needed the job.
