Chapter 1189 Suffering and Happiness

The more Li Yi thought about it, the more he felt that it was very clever to do this.

Some of the characters in "Warm Spring" and "Hidden in the Dust and Smoke" can even use the same person directly.

For example, the role of the village head, and so on.

In fact, Li Yi didn't know if this would work, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that this would be very interesting.

At the same time, it can also enrich the life of the village.

There is a good side, but there is also a bad side.

It is inappropriate to say that the movie universe is not suitable, but there are indeed considerations in various aspects.

Thinking of this, Li Yi began to "copy" the script.

In fact, the story does not need to be changed much, even if the two films are set, it is the same.

Neither movie is complicated. The former has more main characters, but not too much. The latter has only two main characters, so even if the two movies are filmed together, it doesn’t take too much time. people.

However, in comparison, the actors of "Warm Spring" are better to choose, while the requirements for the actors of "Into the Dust and Smoke" are much higher.

Of course, there is still a lot of preparatory work that needs to be done.

Although these two films are not big-cast films, they can only be regarded as low-cost films.

But when it comes to Li Yi, no matter how small the cost of these two movies is, they are definitely not small.

However, the choice of actors actually made Li Yi a little embarrassed, especially in "Into the Dust and Smoke". From the perspective of what the story shows, there are many things that need to be shown in it.

Such as farming.

Don't think that farming is easy, but when it comes to details, to make such a movie, actors must experience life.

However, although "Into the Dust and Smoke" mainly talks about "bitterness", when it comes to the level of the village, you really don't know how poor you are.

The most interesting thing about the two films is that none of the characters in "Warm Spring" seems to be a real "bad guy", while in "Into the Dust", it seems that except for the male and female protagonists, none of them seem to be counted as real "bad guys". The "good guy"!
This is a very interesting comparison.

In such a movie, there is really no need for casting and auditions.

Li Yi has been watching some rural-themed film and television works during this time, including early film and television works and recent ones.

But the style is quite different.

The early rural-themed film and television works have a "earth" flavor, perhaps because they are viewed from the perspective of people of this era, but the recent rural-themed TV dramas are always "fashionable"!
But I have to say that the film and television works of rural themes shot by the older generation of directors are indeed not generally different from the recent film and television works of the same rural theme.

Li Yi has always disliked procrastination. Now that he has decided to shoot, it is natural to make preparations.

Li Yi asked Zhuo Yixiong and others to help him find a suitable shooting location.

Originally, Li Yi thought that it might be difficult to find, but the facts told him that many things, just because he hadn't seen them before, didn't mean they didn't exist.

Many people may think, what era is it, where is the countryside so hard, and where is there such a backward place?

But the fact is that after more than a month of on-site visits, Zhuo Yixiong brought back some videos and photos, but Li Yi deeply felt it, only you can't think of it!
And what Zhuo Yixiong brought back and heard some stories from the local area made Li Yi feel that "Into the Dust" was bullied and squeezed. The suffering in the movie is far less than reality!
When helping Li Yi find the filming locations of "Warm Spring" and "Hidden Into the Dust and Smoke", Zhuo Yixiong also inquired about many things.

For example, there is a story about a girl with cerebral palsy, her parents had no choice but to marry her to a man from outside. Even though the man beat her and didn't treat her as a human being, the parents could only say "bear it".

As a result, this girl named Juanzi got pregnant three times and was beaten by her husband three times to miscarry. The first two times she ran home crying, but she was sent back by her parents. The third time, after she was beaten, she was directly beaten. Locked in a pigsty. When he was discovered, he had already left this world.

There is also a girl named Mei who is not mentally good, but self-care is not a problem. She can do farm work and tidy up the house.After graduating from junior high school, her parents married her to a bachelor in another village far away—this bachelor was crippled.

And the cripple is a gambler.
Even Li Yi heard that he had never heard of "tofu for relatives"

According to what the old man said in the video shot by Zhuo Yixiong—here, it exists everywhere.

That is, the sister of Zhang San's family married Li Si's brother, and Li Si's sister married Zhang San again, just like a commodity exchange.

Of course, there is suffering, and there is also joy in suffering.

There is also a realistic version of "Into the Dust and Smoke", and there are even more than one pair.

A cripple marries a blind man, a deaf man marries a dumb man, and even now, to some extent, it is a kind of "good match"!
And there are more people like this in the countryside!
There are people who rely on others, and people who are hard-working people hurt each other, but there are also people who like Ma Youtie and Cao Guiying in "Hidden in the Dust and Smoke", who hug each other to keep warm.

After deciding on several preparatory shooting locations, Li Yi started to choose actors.

In fact, there are not a few actors who are suitable to play the role of farmers. Many actors of the older generation have come from the countryside.

For them, playing the role of a farmer is not a big problem.

In fact, the role of Ma Youtie is easier to talk about, mainly the role of Cao Guiying, which is more challenging.

Although Ma Youtie was bullied, he is a normal person, and Cao Guiying is different.

In the original version, many people feel that Ma Youtie's performance by the two actors is natural, while Cao Guiying's role is easy to make people play in some aspects.

In fact, after watching the film, Li Yi also felt that there were some places, which were indeed the case.

For example, in the drama of wedding photos, it is actually very easy for people to see that the actor who played Cao Guiying worked hard.Her heart should be the mentality of the characters who have not been built in this drama.From the way her jaw is wrinkled tightly, it can be seen that she is actually not suitable for the character in terms of acting.

Cao Guiying is a person who has suffered. At this moment, her heart should be calm and her jaw should not be wrinkled. She should accept her fate in life without any resistance.

Although she only met Ma Youtie and was photographed for her wedding, her acting skills must have a calm face, and no expression is more suitable for this person.

The actors in it have been trying to interpret Cao Guiying's heartbeat at this time with changes in eyes, blinks, and subtle movements of raising eyes, which is not conducive to the character's proper state at this time.Cao Guiying should be the eyes of the sky, don't show any emotion.

This way of coping will arouse the sympathy of Cao Guiying.

She has lost hope in life.

At that time, she didn't know what kind of person Ma Youtie was, so after marriage, it was still unknown whether she would be allowed to commit domestic violence and treat her kindly.

At this time, her character is set to be the burden of being abandoned by her brother and sister-in-law, and she should be hopeless and powerless.

Because you don't know what the future holds.

But for an actor, it is actually difficult to truly understand the mentality of this character.
