tearjerker director

Chapter 1144 Black clothes, black hair, white snow
I won't go into details about the audition process.

In fact, those who are eligible to participate in this casting audition are not newcomers, even if they are students of drama school or film school, they are not newcomers, most of them have acting experience.

In the end, a third-year student from the Film Academy was selected, who could be regarded as Li Yi's alumni. His name was Tian Rongrong.

This result is not surprising. After all, the selection of actors for Li Yi's movies has never been influenced by the outside world, and it is purely up to him.

In fact, Tian Rongrong's acting skills can't be the best, but she can't stand it. She is indeed [-]% or [-]% similar to Li Yi's previous sketches based on Miho Zhongshan, and her acting skills are also considered passable. Therefore, Li Yi In the end it was settled directly.

It wasn't that no one greeted him during the period, but for Li Yi, he didn't care at all.

Yes, sometimes human relations are important, but sometimes not so important.

To put it bluntly, among these female artists who are eligible to audition, which one has no foundation at all?
In addition, Li Yi himself is the capital, so there is no need to give face at all.

"Love Letter" also became popular because of the "most beautiful short hair" audition without publicity, and began to draw a lot of attention from the outside world to this movie. make his movies.

"Love Letter" officially started filming, and the preparatory time was less than a month, which can be regarded as extremely fast, but for Li Yi and his skilled crew, this is really nothing.

"Every department is in its place!"

"The camera crew is in place!"

"The lights are in place!"

"Recording in place!"

"The first scene of "Love Letter", the first shot, the first time, ACTION!"

With the sound of hitting the board, "Love Letter" officially started filming in Daxue Township.

The final release version of the movie and when it was shot are actually two completely different things.

Of course, for the director, the picture has already been constructed in his mind before shooting.

The first scene was the heroine Lin Sui's appearance. This scene seemed simple, but in fact, several groups of shots were used to shoot this scene alone.

The sky is snowing, and the earth is white.

In fact, in the movie "Love Letter", there is one thing that can be said to be extremely distinctive, and that is snow, which can be said to run through the entire film.

Snow.In the aesthetic consciousness of the island country, it is deeply influenced by the tradition of mourning. For example, the national flag of the island country uses pure white as the background color, which is rare. Islanders love white, because white is like snow, and snow represents purity.The snow scene running through the whole film, with its vivid white, has become the best symbol of the purity of the whole love story.

Directors in island countries are good at filming "regrets", which actually has a lot to do with their "sorrow" culture.

In this regard, although Li Yi doesn't like the island country, there are some things that I have to admit. In this respect, the island country does have its own uniqueness.

The first scene is the one where the heroine is lying in the snow.

Although this scene is simple, it is not so easy to shoot it well and achieve the effect.

Tian Rongrong's attire at this moment is almost a 100% replica of what Li Yi remembers.

Black windbreaker, short hair, pearl earrings and so on.

A body in black clothes, black hair lying in the white snow, in stark contrast to a big scene like the vast white snow, has a strong visual impact!

The preparatory work for this kind of still scene is well done, and it is not difficult to shoot.

Li Yi sat behind the monitor and watched, and the next thing was to turn around quietly.

"Hehehe." Tian Rongrong's acting skills are still very good, at least in the opening scene of the current scene, she is still very good.

The snow falling on her hair and coat can be clearly seen in close-up.Suddenly she let out a sharp breath, opened her eyes, and began to pant violently, like a drowning person regaining oxygen.After calming down her breathing a bit, she stood up and patted off the snow on her body, looked up at the sky, and her eyes seemed to reveal longing.Then, she started walking forward.

At this time, the camera changed from a close-up close-up to a long-range shot.

However, Li Yi quickly shouted: "Crack! Stop."

He didn't directly say what the problem was, but frowned and watched the replay. This scene was not long, but it was very important.

Soon, Li Yi knew why he felt something was missing.

There is a problem with the shooting of the distant scene.

"Shot No. 4, the shot of her walking towards the distance, the speed is fast, this shot does not need to follow her footsteps, it can be slowed down, the camera is raised, and the scene is gradually expanded. In this shot, people are no longer the focus. What I want is a wide field of vision, and the depth of field that appears in the distant view is trees and small black houses.”

In fact, for this shot, at the beginning, people were photographed, but later it was not people, or the focus was not on the people, but on the scenery.

The second time the shooting started, I followed Li Yi's photography, and they were all veterans. There was no need to elaborate on the technical aspects. Li Yi mentioned it once, and they knew what effect Li Yi wanted.

Sure enough, the second reshoot, this long shot, satisfied Li Yi very much.

The shooting of any film definitely needs to be adjusted in the early stage.

"Love Letter" is no exception.

However, this movie actually has high requirements on the lens and color.

The same is true for the transformation of hue.

For example, in the previous shooting, because it was a memorial day, the colors were black and white. A group of people in black clothes stood in the scene of falling snow, which formed a huge contrast. What should be highlighted is the sad emotional atmosphere.

And in the back, with the development of the film's storyline, the color will change from cool to warm. After entering the memory, the tone of the color is dark yellow. The use of color here sets off a warm atmosphere. The visual impact takes us back to the past and recalls the past, what we need is that kind of soft and beautiful feeling.

Other movies may not need so much color rendering, especially some action movies, special effects blockbusters and the like. What everyone watches are special effects and big scenes. At that time, a little difference in color is not too big. It affects the effect of the movie, but for an emotional drama like "Love Letter", color is particularly important.

And many of the props inside need to be given a unique symbol.

For example, Bai Xue is a symbol of purity, implying pure love, and at the same time exaggerating a touch of poignancy and beauty, which is more powerful.

The first group of shots actually has a lot of symbolic things.

Because it was Lin Sui who came to attend Chen Bing's second anniversary, lying alone on the snowy slope, and the nostalgia for her fiancé weighed heavily on her heart, making her breathless.

However, the reality did not allow her to indulge for too long, and the sacrifice was about to begin, so she hurried down the hillside.From the close-up shot at the beginning, to the close-up shot, to the long-range shot, until the distant view of the town occupies almost the entire frame, this set of shots from near to far is mainly used to express the feeling of being immersed in the subjective world through this shot. The process of Lin Sui gradually returning to the objective real world.

The black overcoat hints that she is coming to the funeral, and the snowy setting is meant to create a pure, serene, sentimental tone.
