Chapter 630 Not Finished Yet
After just reading it once, it is definitely not easy to understand it. Not everyone has Luo Quan's photographic memory.
So although Luo Quan gave a perfect demonstration, it still took three takes to barely reach the standard she wanted.
Now, other actors also know that the director's requirements are a bit high, but it's not unacceptable. They strive for excellence.
After all, the director's level is here, and she must hope that the actors can reach the best level.
However, the acting skills of actors vary from high to low, and it is unrealistic to set high standards. Therefore, Luo Quan was only more realistic about some important scenes, and the requirements for other places were relaxed a lot.
This movie is nearly three hours long. If everything was realistic, it would take a year to complete.
She is not a director named Wang who spends three or four years on one movie.
Besides, even if she is willing to do this, in this fast-paced era, how can any celebrity be willing to spend so much time with her.
The first act was entangled in this section for a long time, and I basically spent the first and second days struggling with this part.
Fortunately, the actors finally got the hang of it and all the scenes were successfully completed without exceeding the requirements of the crew.
Luo Quan stayed up late that night to finish editing this section of the movie, and took the original film to the variety show recording site the next day.
Following the plot of the previous episode, Director Fei and Luo Quan were at loggerheads over the lines of the movie. In the end, Director Fei told Luo Quan that you can do it.
After three days of filming, Luo Quan brought the film back.
In the past three days, although a group of film critics did not pay much attention to the program, they still knew the news about the filming of "Farewell My Concubine".
The biggest film project in China right now is this one, involving a large group of top people in the industry, veteran actors and actresses like Jiang Wen and He You.
No matter how you look at it, it is the strongest production lineup of domestic films in recent years.
Even "Let the Bullets Fly", which has three movie stars joining the cast, is far behind compared to it.
Of course, there are many examples of bad movies with strong lineups. A bunch of unknown directors and actors can also make classics.
However, considering that the director of this movie is Luo Quan, the probability of a bad movie is still relatively small.
It just so happens that today I will present the "early access version" to everyone. The ten-minute clip is enough to evaluate whether the movie is good or bad.
As usual, before the movie is released, the director himself has to talk about the problems he encountered during the creation and his mental journey.
Luo Quan was well prepared and directly revealed the status problems Li Shuyun encountered on the set. There was also a scene of her personally giving a demonstration.
As soon as the actress-level acting skills were revealed, the audience at the recording site had dumbfounded expressions and were already impressed by her performance.
Just this simple demonstration made everyone look forward to the upcoming movie.
After the director's personal interview segment ended, the main film finally began.
The whole place went black, and the name of the movie appeared first on the big screen.
The four big characters "Farewell My Concubine" were written with a vigorous ink pen, but where you started, you could see splashes of ink droplets, which made these four characters look quite desolate.
It's as if this is not ink, but blood and tears.
Not many people feel this way, but this sensitivity is indeed quite good, and they can understand the true meaning of Luo Quan's calligraphy.
Soon, the movie started.
It begins with a group portrait of people on the streets. Judging from their clothes and some notices posted on the walls, this should be from the Republic of China period.
In the crowd, a woman was walking through the crowd holding a child, as if she was looking for something.
At this time, a well-dressed man came up and grabbed the woman.
With just one sentence, the entire audience understood the woman's identity.
But today, the woman had no intention of doing business. She pushed the man away impatiently, causing him to call her "a bitch."
Pushing through the crowded crowd, the woman came to a folk opera troupe performance with her child in her arms.
Amidst the sound of gongs and drums, the two protagonists of the movie met...
Ten minutes later, the movie ended with a bunch of children playing.
They looked at the mountains in the distance and stood with their arms akimbo between heaven and earth, as if they were infinitely heroic.
The singer was the Gaixia Overlord who was in jail.
At this point, the movie goes dark and ends abruptly.
The lights came on and the whole place was in uproar.
It was obvious that the audience had not yet recovered from their emotions. Many of them were fascinated by the scene when it suddenly stopped.
"That's gone? Where's the next article!" A producer stood up and remembered that he was not in a cinema but filming a variety show, so he quickly sat down again.
"The cowhide is really not fake." Director Wang Jing looked at Luo Quan's seat and sighed.
What a formidable young woman. The offensive power of this young girl can already be compared with those of the old men who have been in the industry for decades, and she even seems to be slightly better than them.
In a few years, she will probably be the leader in the Chinese film industry.
"sharp!"
Director Fei was the first to speak. Everyone was immersed in the movie and no longer cared about the previous dispute between the two.
But as a client, he couldn't care less.
So he pays great attention to the lines in the movie.
The terminology in it is quite sophisticated, with various slangs, idioms, dialects, and jargons emerging in endlessly. The taste is very correct, and there is no sense of violation.
It makes people feel that this is how people talked at that time.
The so-called art of language is probably like this.
This is actually an intangible cultural heritage of China, but because it is too popular, it is not particularly valued.
However, Luo Quan restored the language style of that era very well, making people feel very enjoyable just listening to them speaking, and it sounded comfortable.
It's amazing and powerful.
"I'm convinced. Director Luo really taught me a lesson this time." Director Fei bowed to Luo Quan seriously, "I really learned a lot. My previous views on lines were really... It’s too shallow.”
"No, not really." Luo Quan was a little flattered when he saw Director Fei giving such a gift, "We just need to learn together and make progress together."
This must be said in the context of the scene. It is actually clear who is learning from whom.
After Luo Quan showed this skill, he opened a huge gap in quality with most of the directors on the scene.
In the previous episodes of the program, there were about a dozen movies shown, but none of them could make all the viewers so fascinated like this one.
This is a work with no faults, both technically and artistically.
The acting skills of the actors, the director's camerawork and editing are all superb.
This is probably what this variety show wants to find, the future of Chinese movies.
No one would have expected to find it on an entertainment-oriented variety show. Unexpectedly, Luo Quan actually showed it, and it was on time and exceeded everyone's expectations.
The director of this variety show has a hunch that this episode will be the most effective in the entire variety show.
After the recording ended, the number of people coming to Luo Quan this time was more than three times greater than before.
Most people ask questions about the movie "Farewell My Concubine". They are mainly concerned about how far the filming has progressed, whether there are any financial problems, whether there are any vacancies for actors, and whether the distribution has been solved.
Anyway, as long as it was a profitable place, I almost asked about it.
Luo Quan also answered the questions patiently.
As for whether there are still vacancies, Luo Quan can only say that there are no vacancies, and there is no shortage of money or popularity.
The implication is, don't stuff small fresh meat into my place, don't miss that little traffic.
More than a dozen producers wanted to get a share of the pie and participate in the production of "Farewell My Concubine," but in the end everyone failed.
Luo Quan was just here to promote the movie this time and had no intention of attracting investment.
Besides, this time she is just the director, and the producer is G Electronics, so it is not her turn to make the investment.
On the surface, Luo Quan is as gentle as a spring breeze. He welcomes everyone and is willing to answer most questions.
But in reality, it's just a bucket of iron, and none of it can go any further, which really irritates a certain kind of filmmaker.
But tonight is not without any gain. At least I know that there is a movie like "Farewell My Concubine" and I have seen its sample.
This will definitely be a good film with explosive reputation, as for the box office.
There are so many stars, and the plot's reputation is booming. Are you still worried about not having a box office?
Therefore, if a movie is destined to be a hit, these profit-seeking businessmen will definitely not let it go.
The only good news is that Luo Quan is not the producer of the movie, so they still have a chance.
After all, in China, in a human society, the most important thing is to make do with a relationship.
Once the relationship is in place, everything is easy to talk about.
Luo Quan was not clear about the twists and turns in the minds of these producers.
After dealing with these producers who had more questions than reporters, Luo Quan took the car back to the hotel.
Opening the door, I saw Wen Xia and Su Yu applying facial masks on the sofa, with four cute white feet on the coffee table, swinging leisurely from side to side.
"Hey, I'm applying this volcano mask again." Luo Quan smiled when he saw the dark masks on their faces.
It's said to be a facial mask, but it's actually more like mud.
It is a new foreign skin care product. It is made from purified volcanic mud. It strongly absorbs skin magnesium and has the effect of protecting the skin and whitening it.
"Yes, who has such good skin like yours? It's as smooth as a loach without applying anything." Wen Xia opened her mouth slightly and said in a sinister tone.
"Why do I feel like you're scolding me?" Luo Quan walked over, put his bag on the sofa, picked up his cell phone and made a reservation call to the hotel front desk.
Tonight’s dinner is her favorite fish-flavored shredded pork rice bowl.
"Have you eaten yet? Do you want to order one too?" Luo Quan did not wait after ordering the meal, but asked Wen Xia and Su Yu.
"No, it's early." The two shook their heads.
Soon, the star hotel version of fish-flavored shredded pork rice bowl was served.
The portion of shredded pork is quite generous, but the taste is a bit too bland.
"This chef's skills are not good, the taste is a bit bland." Luo Quan swallowed a big mouthful of dry rice stuck in his esophagus. It tasted delicious, but he still complained about the taste.
Su Yu laughed: "The boss's craftsmanship, in your eyes, is there a good chef?"
“You can’t say that, some dishes should taste exactly the way they taste.
The chef of this hotel probably didn't put the seasonings in order to look good, and the taste was not enough.
But some chefs understand very well that the most important thing about a dish is the taste, followed by the color. Luo Quan said, taking another big bite.
After recording the show all night, although I didn’t talk much, I didn’t dare to desert.
After all, she is the "key focus" of the camera in this program, and someone might suddenly have to speak to her, so she is always highly focused.
After concentrating all night, I am really hungry now.
It only took less than ten minutes for Luo Quan to finish a large plate of fish-flavored shredded pork.
"Hehe, you look quite interesting." Wen Xia held up the phone and smiled happily.
"You took another ugly photo of me, right?" Luo Quan quickly sat over to see what Wen Xia had taken again.
The photos taken by Wen Xia were not ugly photos.
It was a photo of Luo Quan taking a big mouthful of rice and chewing it.
The two cheeks were fully stretched out, like a cute frog.
Luo Quan was still looking at the camera blankly, not interested in being photographed by Wen Xia.
After all, this is the same posture when you hold up your mobile phone to browse a website.
"This is too cute. I didn't expect the boss to be like this." Su Yu also leaned his head over, looking like his heart melted, "Send me one, I want to use it to make wallpaper."
"The most beautiful thing in the world is like this. Whatever you do is beautiful." Wen Xia sent a copy to Su Yu, and then set it as wallpaper himself.
"That's enough for you. What's the point of taking pictures while having a meal?" Luo Quan felt relieved when he saw that the photos were not ugly.
But speaking of it, with her current appearance, if she didn't deliberately do it, she probably wouldn't be able to take any ugly photos.
Or when you sneeze, your expression is uncontrollable and you can take precious pictures.
"Speaking of which, Luo Luo, you don't seem to like taking photos of daily life. It's obvious that your normal appearance is no worse than when you deliberately cosplay. It's even quite refreshing. Why not take some photos?" Wen Xia was curious after setting the wallpaper. asked this question.
Luo Quan smiled: "What's so good about taking photos of life? I can't just show you what I'm like in life when I'm live broadcasting. I used to live broadcast every day, so didn't I have photos of life every day?"
"That's true." Wen Xia put down her phone, raised her head and looked at the bedroom, "Lolo, the bed in this hotel is very big. Do we want to sleep with a big quilt tonight?"
"Just don't grab my quilt on the bed. I'm afraid of catching cold in the winter." Luo Quan said, going into the bedroom to get clothes and prepare to take a bath.
"Hey, we're going to sleep together anyway. Let's take a bath together. I think the pool is quite big." Wen Xia pulled Su Yu up, looking eager to give it a try.
Su Yu is half northerner, and has been to large public bathhouses in the Northeast many times, so there is no problem.
Luo Quan had never had this kind of experience before, and he was immediately in trouble.
But while he was still hesitating, Wen Xia and Su Yu pushed him into the bathroom...
