That year Huayu

"Let me talk about the theme of this movie." As a director, Lin Nan told everyone about the script before starting the filming.

Although Liu Yifei has read the script many times and written tens of thousands of words of character biographies, she still looked at Lin Nan with bright eyes, a look of expectation, tenderness and admiration on her face, and she was proud of it.

"Marriage Story" is about a divorce and custody battle.

Despite the emotional overtones of the topic, the film doesn't follow the cliche route of this type of film, and the entire movie runs through without any heated arguments;

Instead, it uses a very tight plot rhythm to fully display the complex emotions of both parties, especially the woman, such as frustration, anger, and conflict;

But it also has some humor and human concern... The whole movie will be very heartwarming and will give the audience a high sense of emotional involvement.

A brief summary is that this movie describes a couple who are very stubborn and willful but don't know it. Their relationship may be about to end, but for the sake of their children and their own rational considerations, the two People are struggling, painfully, trying to re-establish grace and generosity towards each other..."

Ning Hao shook his head and joked:

"Tsk, tsk, I heard it. This is a script tailor-made for Yifei. It's so easy for you two to get into the role of the male and female protagonists. You can do it with half the effort... many times more!"

"Ready?" Lin Nan smiled and nodded, then looked around at all the cast and crew and asked.

"I'm ready." Liu Yifei nodded immediately and responded.

"Then let's get started."

While Lin Nan was speaking, everyone in the crew immediately got into position to prepare. After checking the camera angle on the monitor, he confidently walked to his own camera position on the field.

Half a minute later, the movie officially started shooting.

""Marriage Story", first scene, first shot, preparation...action!"

On the stage, Liu Yifei partnered with several cast and crew members from the Chinese Opera Theater to start rehearsals for the stage play in the movie;

Lin Nan, who is the stage director in the play, was watching carefully with another group of "top" extras in the audience.

According to the shooting plan, within one day today, all the shots that fell on the drama stage will be finished, and then we will start shooting the "mundane" but extremely "important" life and daily plot.

Just like "Manchester by the Sea", the emotions of the whole movie will progress layer by layer, and the plot will accumulate bit by bit, and finally the atmosphere and emotions will reach the critical point, explode, and penetrate people's hearts... infinitely infecting the audience.

Throughout the morning, on the monitor, the character played by Liu Yifei kept making "mistakes" during the rehearsal of the stage play. She couldn't pronounce some lines and couldn't cry... But in the end, Lin Nan, the "stage play director", stepped in , shouted stop.

This scene is actually a manifestation of the near collapse of the couple's relationship. The inner emotions and emotions affect the woman's normal work state... She has a heart disease and a knot in her heart.

Afternoon, rest time.

The overwhelming news about the "carpet star" from Cannes spread back to China, and the entire Internet was instantly in an uproar, with abuses everywhere.

The reason is that the number of Chinese stars who did not have their works nominated or were invited but went to the Cannes International Film Festival far exceeded previous years, and they all brought accompanying photography and publicity teams;

These people's crazy "censorship" of various official professional film events has seriously affected the normal holding of those film events, and even led to frequent "accidents" and even "paralysis" on site.

No, even the foreign media can't stand it anymore. They are ridiculing and ridiculing in the reports on the Internet... This is really a shame for being put on the international stage and a shame for the entire Chinese film industry!

As the most well-known international actress in the Chinese film industry, Gong Li was blocked by a group of foreign media reporters and asked her opinions on some mainland "carpet stars".

Let me tell you, although this person has changed his nationality, his stance is very stable and he never stabs anyone in the back.

His answers showed that he had a high level of emotional intelligence. He smoothed things over for a group of people and gained respect from the Chinese film industry:

"Every actor is qualified to come to the International Film Festival to see it. Without being there in person, you can't feel the huge sense of belonging and longing to be an actor. If you come to Cannes with reverence, I think it's okay. , it depends on their goals..."

In the afternoon, when all the scenes in the Chinese drama were finished and the crew was preparing to evacuate, Lin Nan was still complaining to Ning Hao.

“The current batch of red carpet artists are really getting worse and worse, and they are completely inferior to the big flowers back then.

Fan Bingbing used the slogan of "promoting Chinese style" at the beginning, and his dresses were always made of ink paintings or other Chinese elements. Now look at this group of people, they don't even know how to dress on the red carpet, they just wear it in a raw way. Don't know how to work around it. "

"Fan Bingbing doesn't go to the red carpet anymore. She's the Best Actress in Tokyo after all. There's still no shortage of invitations."

Lin Nan held Liu Yifei's hand, and Ning Hao, surrounded by a group of staff, walked out of the drama auditorium and passed through the sea of ​​people... After meeting several school leaders of the Chinese Theater Company, Just got in the car and left.

The night scene was not shot on the first day. Liu Yifei still wanted to go back and read the script again. After all, she had some thoughts after the actual shooting.

…

It has been nearly a month since Wu Gan led the team abroad.

In the evening, after the time difference, this guy made a video call back; immediately, several producers started a "video conference", and Lin Nan held it together for Liu Yifei.

Wow, in less than a month, Director Wu, who was a little "fair" when he went abroad, has become a real rough man, tanned but strong.

"It will take at most half a month, and I can start shooting here. After the overseas scenes are completely shot, I will go back to deal with the little literary scenes in China."

Wu Tian leaned there carelessly, staring at the computer screen, and he was obviously very energetic.

"Spend sparingly, don't overspend. The cost is 200 million, and this is the most invested military-themed movie in China!"

Wang Changtian joked with lingering fear while holding the milk.

"Don't worry, Mr. Wang, I will never ask for additional investment during the 5-month shooting period." Even Wu Tian himself felt a little embarrassed.

For more than half an hour, Lin Nan listened to "Leng Feng" talk about the environment in Africa. There was only one word to describe it: difficult!

If it weren't for the embassy and the official people there to escort them, foreign crews might not be able to get by in the local area. Of course, these are Wu Yi's own connections, and those in the army.

The next day, Liu Yifei and Lin Nan, who were in working mode, had already adjusted their biological clocks to around six in the morning.

After getting up early and washing up, they went straight to the crew.

Today's scenes are about daily life, and little actors under four years old will also appear.

Yue Jun originally wanted to find a little boy, but inexplicably found a little girl who looked like a porcelain doll.

But it doesn't matter for a child. Besides, after cutting her hair short, you can't tell whether she is a boy or a girl at first glance, anyway, she is very cute.

When Lin Nan and Liu Yifei arrived at the crew, it was really a ghost, Ning Hao was here again!

"I say, you are really bored all day, come and work for me for free?"

"Yes, you are idle anyway, why are you not happy? Bad Monkey's current project does not need my intervention, I think it is more comfortable to work in the crew. Besides, the nearest thing in my current schedule is at the beginning of next month."

Ning Hao sat on the chair and said with a smile.

"What about your sister? Doesn't she care about you?" Liu Yifei asked curiously while doing makeup.

"Care about me? She cares about her son all day long. He is just over 7 years old, but he has been arranged for various advanced interest classes."

"Well, he is worthy of being the only child who has a family business to inherit."

Lin Nan teased, and everyone in the dressing room couldn't help laughing.

"Go to hell, our family is not as rich as yours!" Ning Hao laughed and scolded unhappily.

"Uncle..."

Suddenly, a soft voice sounded, and everyone looked at the door immediately after hearing the voice.

Yue Jun walked in with a smile on his face, holding the hand of a little girl;

The "uncle" just now was called out by the porcelain doll, with a small and delicate face, very white and tender, big, watery eyes, and short hair.

"Director Yue, are you promoting the virtuous without avoiding relatives?"

Before Lin Nan and Liu Yifei could react from their astonishment, Ning Hao had already started joking.

"Is this your niece?"

Lin Nan looked at Yue Jun and asked, the latter had never mentioned this before.

"Well, Director Lin, this is my cousin's child. Yaya, call someone."

Yue Jun shook the little hand in his hand and said softly. He did have selfish intentions, but he was also aboveboard.

"Sister, brother...uncle?"

The little girl was obviously well-educated, and greeted everyone one by one; but she was a little scared when she saw Ning Hao, because Director Ning didn't look like a good person.

When this series of names came out, everyone in the dressing room couldn't help laughing. Anyway, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei were laughing so hard that they bent over, while Ning Hao had a dark face.

"You have to call me auntie and him uncle. As for the fierce-looking guy, you can call him uncle, hehe..."

Liu Yifei stood up and waved at the little girl. She was really about to laugh to death.

"Uncle? Sister..."

The little girl looked up at Yue Jun, and after getting a positive look, she walked towards Liu Yifei with her little arms and legs.

"What's this?" Ning Hao complained to Lin Nan.

"Director Ning, you have to accept reality. In addition, I'll tell you something." Lin Nan came to Ning Hao's side.

"What's it?"

"I originally wanted your kid to play, but then I thought, he looks too much like you, and it doesn't match me and Yifei at all! Haha..."

"Fuck you!" Ning Hao lowered his voice and cursed. After all, there were children present.

Looking at Liu Yifei again, she was touching Yue Jun's niece's head with a smile on her face, teaching:

"Next, in the crew, you will play my daughter, here, that uncle will play your father. Do you know what acting is?"

Looking at Liu Yifei, Yaya nodded seriously, "Uncle has taught me."

As she spoke, the little girl couldn't help but look back at Yue Jun, her expression instantly became more stable, and she also smiled, which was a sense of security.

"Well, you are really smart. I will take you to eat delicious food at noon..."

"Director Lin, if you find other young actors, their parents will have to look after them in the crew. It's better for me to bring my own niece, isn't it more appropriate?"

Hearing Yue Jun's words, Lin Nan had to admit that it made sense.

"Yes, that's the reason."
