The ending of the original movie uses Mike's raised eyes as the final scene.

But Li Yi always felt that the restraint was a bit too much.

Although there is no need to show John's death, Li Yi feels that the ending is still a bit sloppy, or a bit abrupt.

So he added a little bit to the ending, but in the end he was a little confused.

There were two thoughts in his mind. One was the figure of his father leaving, and the other was that the father returned home and sat quietly on a chair with a smile.

He expressed both of these ideas.

Let the crew discuss it together.

"I prefer the first one, but the leaving figure is not easy to act!" Maury Darren, the leading actor, said.

He can be said to be the person who knows the leading actor John best now. After all, for actors in this kind of movie, they must be emotionally involved.

"Oh? Why?" Li Yi was noncommittal, but asked curiously.

"Because, from beginning to end, John was not so afraid of his inevitable end, death! What he had always longed for and hoped for in his last days was to find a home, a suitable home for his son Mike

Home, a home that can make him happy, he has found it, maybe it is not perfect, but at least, he thinks he has found it." Morrie explained.

"But, because of this, the back view of him when he left was difficult to act, because at this time, would he be reluctant to leave his son? Definitely, would he be happy? I think so! But he would also

It's sad...so I didn't think about how to act in this scene." Morrie continued.

"I think I like the second one better, because John accomplished what he wanted to do. He arranged for his most precious son. He had no other luxury. In the end, he sat at home and closed his eyes with a smile.

Eyes, I think this will highlight the greatness of father's love!" Carlos had the opposite opinion.

"No, no, no, the greatness of father's love has actually been shown many times before, so I don't think it is necessary..." Morrie retorted.

Li Yi didn't think about it for a while, but in the end he simply gave it up and just filmed the two together.

When the time comes, decide which one is more suitable and has better results, then choose which one!

""Obscurity" Scene 162, first shot, first time, ACTION!"

It fell with the sound of clacking.

The last scene of the movie was shot.

The previous shot of him sitting on a chair smiling and closing his eyes had been taken, but Li Yi felt that he was not very satisfied.

Because I always feel that something is missing.

Therefore, he was looking forward to this shot.

In this scene, Li Yi made no demands on Mori and allowed him to do whatever he wanted.

In the monitor, three lenses were facing Mori's back, side, and front.

Under the setting sun, Morrie was walking slowly, but suddenly he stopped and looked back at the apartment.

Not seeing his son, a trace of loss flashed in his eyes, and his eyes were extremely determined, as if he wanted to remember this place forever.

Then he turned around resolutely.

But his pace changed again, his shoulders drooped slightly, and his back looked a little stooped. It has to be said that Morrie is not called the best actor for nothing.

Although his figure is not strong, he is very tall, but for some reason, at this time, it feels like his whole person's energy has been exhausted.

Suddenly he walked onto the highway and saw the white dotted line.

His pace suddenly quickened, and then he walked along the white dotted line with his hands open...

Li Yi quickly switched to the picture taken by lens No. 3 from the front.

I saw that his face was already covered with tears!

Finally, it switches back to the back shot of No. 1. Under the setting sun, that figure suddenly becomes taller again!

"CUT! Perfect!" Li Yi was very satisfied with this shot.

Some things are difficult to explain in words, but the feeling is real!

Anyway, it made Li Yi feel that this shot perfectly brought the movie to an end!

Much better than the ending scene in the original version!

"I announce that "Obscurity" is finished!"

...

The post-production of "Obscurity" was much simpler than that of many movies.

After all, this kind of drama has no special effects and doesn't require much other work.

Moreover, Li Yi had also previously thought about changing some of the order of the plot and creating some suspense.

But in the end, he chose to give up.

Because, after the modification, although it does seem to increase a bit of suspense, the overall style will appear a bit confusing.

In fact, to a certain extent, the film "Obscurity" is more like a documentary, because the timeline is completely in order. There are no flashbacks, no disorder, and no multi-line narrative. It has always been

Walking along the timeline.

In fact, this kind of movie is not popular in terms of publicity, and there may be advantages to a documentary-style movie. If you watch it, it is easy for people to become involved in it. But again, this kind of movie often lacks a lot of commercial

Attribute selling point.

Therefore, on the Dean Pictures side, James Dean is also somewhat unsure of the potential of this movie.

The first screening of "Obscurity" was a small-scale internal screening held by Dean Films.

The invitees were mainly film viewing representatives from some theater chains.

In Hollywood, many movies actually need to go through such a process. The theaters will have their own professional film viewers. These people may not be as professional as professional film critics or filmmakers, but they are very sensitive to the market.

Although it cannot be guaranteed to be 100% accurate, it is still very useful for reference.

Although Li Yi doesn't particularly care about the box office of the movie, every director still attaches great importance to whether his movie can win more people's favor.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The same is true for Li Yi.

Naturally, he also hopes that the movie will achieve better results.

The movie will start showing soon.

There is actually nothing to say at the beginning of the movie. It just explains the occupation of the male protagonist John. He works as a window cleaner.

This profession is actually very familiar to everyone here in the United States.

It's just that I usually don't pay too much attention to it.

John's daily job is to watch other people's excitement through the glass window while cleaning his own glass. Of course, occasionally there will be some small surprises and he will meow for a while with the cute cat through the glass window.

This lens is quite pleasing.

The camera moves, and there are countless high-rise buildings and countless glass windows in the city. Finally, the camera focuses on a small window. Behind the glass window, a little boy is looking out the window. He seems to be looking for something.

In fact, everyone knew at this time that this should be John's three-year-old son Mike.

Suddenly the little one seemed to see something and grinned.

Little Mike slipped off the chair, then came to the door and looked at the closed door.

The door was opened and John walked in. Everyone knew that little Mike had just seen his father coming back, so he immediately came to the door and waited for his father.

When John came back and saw his son, he stepped forward and picked him up!

"Hello, Mike! How are you today?"

The little guy hugged his father, and then said in a sweet voice: "Hello, daddy!"

He also nodded to show that he was very good!

John would find volunteers to take care of his son every day when he went to work. Through his conversations with the volunteers, everyone knew that little Mike was a very quiet and well-behaved child.

After that, there was a warm daily life of father and son together.

Mike spends most of his time outside of work with his son Mike Jr.

Cook for him, wash his clothes, help him bathe, and wash his hair.

At night, she would tell little Mike stories and coax him to sleep.

After coaxing Mike to sleep, he was afraid that his son would be scared, so he left the door ajar instead of closing it. Only when his son fell asleep did he have time to do his own thing.

Take medicine!

Because it is adapted from real events, most people who watch the film know that John is terminally ill.

But obviously, he couldn't let his son know, so he took the medicine secretly after his son fell asleep.

He had to pretend that everything was business as usual.

Get up in the morning, prepare breakfast and clothes for the little guy, and tell him to ask a friend's mother to pick him up after school, so that he can take his dog to play for a while.

Little Mike replied: "I want to raise a puppy!"

It's just that John didn't respond to him. If he still had a lot of time, maybe he would agree to get a dog, but he knew that he didn't have much time.
To be continued...
