Chapter 280: Those Years of Du Edition
Needless to say, Nine Swords' "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years" is an excellent movie.
You don't need to look at the box office results.
There is also no need to see the opinions of professional film critics.
Not to mention the complaints about post-production, dubbing, special effects, plot and acting flaws.
And there are bound to be people who don't like the movie.
But—it doesn't matter.
There are so many people who watched this movie and were reminded of their youth.
Think of the slender figure running in the drizzle.
Thinking of the flying skirt at the corner of the corridor.
I thought of the girl who came over inadvertently, with the scent of Shu Lei shampoo on her hair.
Think of the boy who looked at the blackboard seriously and wore a clean white shirt.
Thinking back to the smiles during the class exercises, those slapsticks in the corridors.
Those who are sad, those who are heartbroken.
Both men and women can find traces of their youth in this movie.
And moved.
Not impressed by this movie.
And was moved by the memories that evoked.
And a movie that can move countless people, isn't it excellent?
But that was the youthful memory of Nine Swords, not Du Caige's.
Of course, in fact, although Du Caige has some memories of his youth to express, he does not want to make such a film an autobiography like the Nine Swords.
He wanted to find more common stories.
The first thing to change is the character, the relationship between the characters, the social background and the background of the times.
In the end, Du Caige didn't use the names Krypton Jinteng and Shen Jiayi, nor did he use Li Lei and Han Meimei.
After all, this is a youth idol movie. If the protagonist's name is too earthy, it will affect the audience's sense of substitution.
The heroine Wen Xinran has a very similar character to Shen Jiayi in the original version-because this character fits the image of a perfect lover in the minds of adolescent boys.
Every male audience can more or less find something in Wen Xinran that reminds him of his first love.
Or a smile, or a graceful eye wave, or a glance back when running with a smile.
The protagonist Lin He, a discerning person can see that this is transformed from "Lin Ke".
The character is a rebellious teenager who likes music, with love in his heart and a lot of anger.
I can't understand why there is so much ugliness in the world, let alone why adults allow so much ugliness in the world.
In fact, it seems to be a very clear, but in fact, very vague image. Every man can find the shadow of his youth from this image.
The female partner Wang Ludan has a broken family, is very precocious, and dresses maturely.
His eyes are charming and sexy, and he speaks boldly, even a bit feminine in the eyes of outsiders.
But it's very loyal to the heroine.
Male Match 1, a fat man who likes comics, his grades are not good,
He was often humiliated and his family did not support him in drawing cartoons, but he never gave up his dream.
Male Match 2, a master of video games, can clear most games with just one coin, likes to brag, has average grades, is very observant, and can be a human being. I know a lot of bad students, even bad gangs outside the school. They are grumpy and rude, but they are loyal.
Male match 3, the grades are always among the best, a little nerdy, and the teachers and parents love it. But in private, he also skips classes and smokes secretly.
Do these people remind you of a classmate or a friend in high school?
If so, then Du Caige's purpose has been achieved.
This is a youth movie, but it is not about youth, but about youth memory.
It is to let a group of people close to middle age recall their youthful years.
Of course it's better to have some sympathy for the teens as well.
So, there are some very common topics to talk about in the movie.
A story that makes the audience feel immersed in it.
For example, in the original version, Krypton Jinteng held an unrestricted fighting match to make Shen Jiayi happy, which is actually not very immersive.
Of course, the nature of this "stupid" incident will also make some male viewers feel that although I haven't done this stupid thing, I have also done something stupid, so it resonates.
But it certainly won't appear in Du Caige's version of this play.
In Du Caige's version, the character of the protagonist is different.
A rebellious teenager who likes music will naturally have his unique silly way.
Du Caige will extract some past events from his awakened memory fragments and process them.
They will also extract one or two pieces for processing from their own experiences on earth or from the experiences of others they have heard and seen.
In the end, the story was about 40 minutes long.
In addition, Du Caige of the wedding was not going to be filmed.
He intends to give an open ending.
The hero and heroine broke up.
But they both hate each other.
There is still the possibility of being together.
But it is also possible that after being together again, they find something inappropriate and separate again.
In reality, there are too many examples of on-off and on-off with the male (female) friend of the first love.
In fact, very few people marry their first love.
Probably less than 5%.
Therefore, Du Caige knows very well that the hero and heroine in the movie will not be together in the end.
But give the nostalgic audience a little hope.
Make them feel that if I had...maybe it would be different.
A touch of sadness and melancholy will make them more impressed by the film.
...
For unified management, the crew opened a room in a nearby hotel, and everyone stayed in the hotel.
Du Caige will allow the other party to go home, except that there is really something to deal with, and it is guaranteed that it will not affect the shooting the next day.
After the first day of shooting, Du Caige hid in a hotel room.
After talking on the phone with Duan Xiaochen, Yan Yingzhen and Baby Caiwei, he called Liu Zifei and the script director to discuss the script for a while, and then called the leaders of the costume team, props team and set-up team to arrange some work for tomorrow. .
Only then did he take out his laptop and began to carry "Dragon and Snake".
Sometimes when a little inspiration suddenly appeared, he would cut to the fifth volume of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp".
It was past 11 o'clock.
There was a knock on his door.
Du Caige's heart lifted.
He couldn't help being careless. As a director, he has experienced too many times that actresses and even female staff members in the crew have fallen into their arms.
If it is not handled properly, it will affect the atmosphere of the entire crew, and even affect the progress of the shooting.
During the casting this time, when he was resting in the hotel at noon, there were actually actresses who tried to unspoken rules for him.
But Du Caige can even refuse Duan Tianhou, how can he be dealt with by the 18th-tier young actors.
"Who?" he asked aloud.
In order to save money, this hotel is of low grade, and Du Caige did not use his power to open a good room for himself, which is also a standard room for sleeping.
The sound insulation effect is not good, the room speaks, can hear outside the room.
"It's me, it's the little girl," Xu Qingya laughed, "Director Du, I want to talk to you about the script."
Since entering the crew, everyone seems to have made an appointment, no longer calling Du Caige "Mr. Hemingway", but calling him "Director Du".
Although the little girl's voice was sweet, Du Caige was somewhat disgusted.
The excuse of talking about the script has been used badly...
Du Caige shook his head, but quickly remembered that Xu Qingya was not that kind of coquettish bitch, and her tutor would not allow her to do things that corrupt her style.
So she probably really wants to discuss the script with herself.
But in the middle of the night, the lonely man and the widow were locked in the hotel room, and even if there was nothing, it became something.
There are many people who like to chew their tongues, never underestimate the dark side of people.
"Let's talk about it tomorrow, it's too late today, I'm going to rest." Du Caige refused.
Xu Qingya acted coquettishly: "Just 10 minutes, you let me in, Director Du, I really want to talk to you about the script."
This little girl said that she was ignorant, but in fact, I felt that she was still precocious.
Say she is sensible, and if she is really sensible, she won't knock on the director's door in the middle of the night.
Du Caige thought for a while, and said loudly, "You call Guo Lingjie, and I'll tell you two one by one."
"How cool!" Xu Qingya said happily.
After a few minutes, the knock on the door rang again, Du Caige got up to open the door, Guo Lingjie and Xu Qingya stood outside the door.
It's still hot in August, and they dress coolly, showing off their invincible youth to the fullest.
The white and tender skin that can be broken by blowing bombs, and the slight blush on the cheeks, even if the appearance is ordinary, it will look beautiful.
What's more, they are all beauties in the first place, and Xu Qingya can be regarded as the level of beauty in the world.
In the case of Du Caige's two lifetimes, who have seen so many stars and supermodels, only four or five people, including Du Yuqi, can match Xu Qingya in appearance.
Although her figure is not as perfect as Duan Xiaochen's, she is also well-proportioned, slender and pleasing to the eye.
"Come in and sit." Du Caige glanced at them and let them in, then deliberately opened the door.
Xu Qingya noticed Du Caige's actions and smiled gracefully and kindly, probably understanding Du Caige's intention.
Because it was a standard room, there wasn't much room in the room, so the two girls looked at it and finally sat down next to each other on the edge of the bed.
Du Caige moved a chair and sat opposite them.
"Which part of the script do you want to talk about?"
"That's right, Director Du," Xu Qingya said, "In that part, my best friend Wang Ludan smiled and told the heroine, you know, that kid likes you."
"The hostess said nervously, don't talk nonsense, Lin He didn't like me."
"My girlfriend laughed, how do you know I'm talking about Lin He?"
"The heroine has a complicated look."
After a moment's pause, Xu Qingya asked, "I don't quite understand, why is the female lead nervous? Then what does the complicated look look like?"
Du Caige touched his chin, but his eyes did not fall on the two beauties.
After thinking about it, he did not answer immediately, but said: "Actually, many excellent actors have the habit of writing short biographies, which will help them understand the roles they want to play."
"Because the information that can be accommodated in the script is limited. So after those excellent actors get the script, they will immediately start to speculate seriously. What is this person's character like? Why did he form such a character? What happened to him? What kind of influence did his family and friends have on him? Gradually write down the character's past experience, mental journey, etc., and write a dozen to 200,000 words."
