Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    It was already past 1 pm when Ye Wei rushed back to the tlb studio in Malvern Town.  From last night to now, he went to Toronto, New York, and then back to Philadelphia. He sent two letters, feeling sad and full of vitality in his heart.

    Lily didn¡¯t reply to the text message, but he knew she would read it, so he planned to send another one in the evening, Los Angeles time, and two a day, so as not to disturb her and contact her every day.

    He said to Anastasia that there are two kinds of kinetic energy for creation, light and dark, both in the subconscious that he neither knows nor can control. They are like two buttons. When one of them is triggered, creation will occur.  inspiration.

    Now he felt like he pressed the third button, a whole new feeling!

    It¡¯s like the long-awaited light has returned, and it¡¯s like it¡¯s calmly and powerfully mastering the darkness.

    Creative inspiration is exploding, and so is the desire to create. I have never been so impatient to make a movie, as if I haven¡¯t set foot on a set for many, many years.

    The events of the past two days brought a lot of new ideas. During the journey, Ye Wei made some modifications, additions and deletions of lines, details and shots to the script and storyboard, including even important special effects shots for the ending scene.  When he finished drawing the new scene, he couldn't help but smile, it was so beautiful.

    The production schedule made a new arrangement, and instead of filming the kiss scene between Susie and Ray in the school corridor that day, the actor had to put on makeup before going on stage. Instead of spending a long time putting his makeup on and everyone waiting, it was better to shoot something else first.  Everyone is ready to start filming as soon as he comes back.

    "Hey guys!"

    The afternoon sun was warm, and when Ye Wei came to the set on the streets of a beautiful and quiet small town community, he greeted the staff.  Everyone knew that Duoduo was fine, and acquaintances like Sean Maurer, who continued to shoot for him, and assistant director Jennifer Anderson would also ask, "Are you okay?" He smiled and nodded: "She had a great time.  ¡±

    "Are you ready?" He took the shooting schedule handed over by Anderson, and after looking at it he knew what he was about to shoot, a shot of Susie and Lindsey walking on the way to school.

    There was one less day of shooting and the schedule became tighter, but he was confident that he could finish the filming well. Looking around, everyone was working hard, so there was no way it would not be a good shot.

    "Director, someone is back." Anderson's tone was very happy.

    Ye Weiyi was startled, and his heart skipped a beat when he saw a woman in a woolen coat and overalls striding towards him. He couldn't help shouting: "Giya!" He quickly ran up, his face full of joy, and he opened his mouth in excitement.  Hands: "Master Gia, welcome back! I miss you so much!"

    "No need to say more." Gia hugged him, looked at him with a smile, and asked, "Are you back too?"

    "Well" Ye Wei thought and laughed, "I haven't come back, but I have passed. This is a new me."

    "It's so complicated, I just think you're back." Gia couldn't help but smile, the joy in her heart showing, "I feel you need me, so I am your special assistant and your mentor  , and your enemy, Master Gia Coppola, is back!"

    "Hahaha!" Ye Wei pushed her and walked towards the camera over there with a smile. Elizabeth Olsen and Saoirse Ronan, one big and one small, were all looking at them with smiles. They had already rehearsed.  Everything is ready.

    ¡°Dakota Johnson, who plays Ruth, is here, and we have a play today; Margot, Maudie, and Kelsey are all here, whether we have a play today or not.  Ye Wei asked them to follow the crew to watch and learn more, and to serve as a visiting class during the days when there was no drama. The three of them did not know that the tuition was paid by him personally. The more they learned, the faster they would progress.

    At this time, they stood quietly in the idle area and watched. Ye Wei smiled at them and said hello, walked over to understand the situation with Maurer, and said to the assistant director: "Start."

    "Everyone, if no one moves, no one will get hurt!" Anderson shouted, clapping his hands. The set quickly fell silent, everyone took their places, and the lighting team shouted OK.

    "Recording begins."

    "Photography begins."

    "Accelerate."

    "Mark."

    Listening to these sounds, Ye Wei felt the blood in his body boiling. Looking at the two actors in front of him, the scribe wrote down the slate in front of the camera. The sound of "ta" was like the sound of boiling point. Surrounded by everyone, in this community  On the sidewalk, he shouted: "Fire!!!"

    Fire¡­?  The members who were working together for the first time were all stunned, including Liz and Saoirse. What?

    Seeing Ye Wei waving his arms to indicate "Let's start, let's play!", Liz reacted first, remembering that she had seen it in "viy", this was his action, and she finally heard it with her own ears!  It was really the first time I heard it since the Big Bang.

    Gia, who was standing next to him, had already raised her hands, laughing silently, and the flames came back.??, have you seen it?  It's here!

    It¡¯s so bright that it¡¯s dazzling, isn¡¯t it? This is the light of a genius director, you will get used to it!

    Let¡¯s burn with him!

    "Uh, cut!"

    When Liz and Saoirse started to move around and read the dialogue, and after the scene was completed, Ye Wei was not satisfied with the voice calling "stop". He did not go over to direct the play, but walked to the side where there was no one: "Liz, come here." He wanted to  Have a few words with her alone.

    Saoirse doesn¡¯t have this problem. Her solo scene has been filmed in the past week. Her performance is really good. She is so spirited and looks good. She will definitely succeed in the future.

    The set suddenly stopped again, everyone avoided their eyes and waited, the girls glanced around curiously, and Gia looked directly.

    "What's wrong? I swear I'm not fat." Liz followed and muttered.

    Ye Wei took a look at her. She was dressed in the same look as the day Susie was killed, a 1970s-style royal blue hooded jacket, yellow bell-bottom pants and a variegated wool hand-knit hat with a pom-pom on her head. Her long blond hair was dyed  It is moderate, neither deep nor shallow, very warm and pleasant, the figure is youthful and slim, and really not fat.

    He said warmly: "Liz, I have to tell you, I have changed a lot in the past two days. The simpler way to understand it is that I am back, and the harder way to understand it is that I have evolved. I am different! You won't hate this.  Me, you'll see."

    "So?" Liz was a little confused.

    "You can trust me, trust your director." Ye Wei shrugged and said with a smile.

    Creating a suitable atmosphere for the set is the director¡¯s main responsibility. This is very important. It not only affects morale and efficiency, but also affects the performance of the actors.  The more the atmosphere makes actors feel safe and willing to take risks, the more actors can reach their potential.

    On the contrary, an actor who is insecure and does not trust the director will perform in a safe way, which will result in a mediocre and boring performance.

    ¡°The director wants to give the actors wings and let them fly as much as they want. What if they fall from the sky?  It's okay, the director will catch you.

    He thought back now that Liz had not fully unleashed her talents these days. Her imagination was very good, but he didn't see much of it.  The key problem, he thought, was that he didn't activate her because of her aversion to him.

    This question ends here.  Ye Wei smiled and said: "Better said late than never, Liz Olsen, welcome to my set, a place where dreams happen!"

    "Wow." Liz's eyes couldn't help but be curious. He seemed really different. His still evil eyes seemed to have a little more warmth. He didn't even call her "lichee" in English.  Her nickname has long been spread throughout the set, and even the media has reported it.

    Ye Wei looked directly into her gray-blue eyes and said: "Once you start performing, don't think so much. Don't use your brain to act, act with your heart. I will keep an eye on what is right and wrong, good or bad, and you don't need to think about it at all.  You do it. I will help you perform Susie in a coherent and believable way, as long as you trust me.¡±

    "Yes, I will" Liz nodded. What should she say? This is the first time Ye Wei has encouraged her like this since the filming started.

    She can¡¯t make a conclusive evaluation of his work on the set, but no matter how it changes, there will definitely be the advantage of ¡°communication.¡±

    Viy is really not the little tyrant in the legend. He will first let you try your own interpretation before making some specific directorial suggestions to let you deepen and develop what he wants.  Sometimes if you ng too much, he will directly tell you what facial expressions and movements to make.

    Although it was her first time acting in a screen movie, she had been on Broadway and was no stranger to film and television sets, so she knew that Verity Ye was extremely confident.

    Maybe it¡¯s because he has been nominated for an Oscar for Best Director, and his reputation as a genius is unquestionable. At just 18 years old, he doesn¡¯t have the kind of dog-protective attitude of ¡°I¡¯m smart, I¡¯m the God here, that¡¯s what I¡¯m saying.¡±  Bible!" He listened to the words, even if he was a young actor, he cherished the personality of that young actor.

    This is actually a demeanor of being confident and detached.

    He doesn¡¯t like to get angry, so he has never scolded anyone. He always has a way to convince you with reason, logic, knowledge, and authority.

    Talking about this in the morning, Gia said that viy actually went through this stage. It is said that when filming "Wedding Day is Coming", he was more protective of food than a dog. He could not tolerate the slightest impression that he was not familiar with the industry, and he grasped the director's authority.  Seriously, anyone who resists him will be kicked out of the crew at any time.

    It¡¯s different now, and today he suddenly said, ¡°I was not good enough before, and here comes a better me.¡± Liz was really surprised.

    She understands the essence of film performance. Many celebrities have also said that all crew members serve the director's imagination.  Although the film is a team creation, all results must go through a funnel and into the bottle. What can and cannot go in depends on the funnel.??Decision.  The funnel is the director.

    The reason why she planned to act in movies in advance was because she wanted to realize viy's imagination.

    Probably because this emotional reason is too heavy, she is easily affected by his off-site affairs.  She regained her affection for him in early May, but there were too many scandals about him. The worst thing was that she discovered that he was dating Margot Robbie a few days ago.

    Do you trust him on the set?  He is a talented director, and of course Liz trusts him, but when he said this, he really didn't feel at his best.

    "Act with your heart." Liz looked at him, and the more she looked at him, the more different he felt.

    "Yes, you are intentional, right?" Ye Wei said.  Liz didn't know why she went crazy: "Yes, but it's not as big as Scarlett Johansson's." Ye Wei looked as if nothing had happened: "As long as it's there, just a little bit like lychee, hahaha!" He walked back with a smile.  , shouted to everyone: "Everyone, get ready!"

    Liz stared at his back and walked back, you are wrong, I hate you, you are still a bastard.

    "Fire" soon sounded again on the set. No one knew what Ye Wei and Liz said, but they could all see the difference: in the former, Liz seemed to be acting Susie, and in the latter, Liz was Su.  Akane.  Differences in feelings lead to subtle differences, and subtle differences lead to overall differences.

    "Good-take!" Ye Wei shouted happily, "That's it!"

    Gia¡¯s smile became even brighter when she saw Olsen, like a little bird learning to fly, left the nest and flew into the sky under the blessing of genius, oh poor Emma!

    ¡°Maurer, Anderson, Dakota, Mody and others were all quite surprised.  As each shot was shot, I felt more and more that the atmosphere was a little different. Their director was more active, and his infectious energy was present in every sound of fire, which improved the efficiency of the set a lot.

    The sun sets at 8:30 pm in Philadelphia in June. After working for 7 hours straight, the crew has dinner and rest at 8 pm.  Because today's day scenes have been shot, a lot of magic time was wasted.  The crew planned to wait until dark to continue shooting night scenes, including the encounter between Susie and Ruth after her murder.

    At this time, the crew has moved to the empty parking lot of Otani High School and is having dinner at the base camp. After Ye Wei, Gia and the actor girls received the lunch boxes, they sat down in a circle on the special chairs on the quiet side and ate while  talk.

    "Girls, now is not the time to shoot shots that take a lot of time." Ye Wei said.

    "The break between shooting is the time to talk about the shots that take a long time to shoot." Gia continued.

    After saying this, the two looked at each other and laughed, because the rookies were so stunned that they laughed even more!

    "it-s-not-the-time-it-takes-to-take-the-takes-that-takes-the-time, it-s-the-time-it-takes-to-talk-between-the  -takes-that-takes-the-time¡± This quote is called the ¡°Douglas Trumbo motto,¡± coined by director and legendary visual effects pioneer Trumbo, ¡°Take your time¡± and ¡°make a movie.¡±  The verbs are all "take", which means "a shot" is also take, hence this clever tongue twister.

    "But if you are not a veteran on the set, you really don't know. Now even Liz and Dakota were stunned with laughter, and Mody and the others only understood after listening to Gia's explanation.

    "Seriously." Ye Wei said to Liz and Dakota opposite him while eating, "Let's talk about the scene later."

    In the pre-production stage, he had already helped the two of them create "I", especially Liz. Her notes on Susie's creation and understanding were as thick as a script.  The preparations are enough, now the stage is to use them in performances.

    In this scene in the original book, before Susie left this world, she met Ruth in the school parking lot.  Ruth was standing next to a rusty car. She saw Susie wearing a white robe floating over. Then Susie "wanted to feel the warmth of the world again before leaving this world" and reached out to touch Ruth.  Si's face.

    In the script and filming, Susie was still wearing the clothes she wore before she was killed, walking around like a living person, because the white robe and floating on the screen were very noticeable.  They both saw each other, and Susie reached out to touch Ruth's cheek, then disappeared.

    The filming was not in order. We were shooting this scene tonight, but tomorrow we had to shoot several school scenes before Susie¡¯s accident.  Ye Wei first checked their current location for the two of them, where they had just come out and where they were going.

    ¡°There are three key shots in this scene.¡± He added.

    The girls are listening carefully.

    Ye Wei described the shots he designed: "One is a sideways mid-shot, with Ruth on the left side of the frame and Susie on the right side. She slowly raises her hand to touch Ruth's face. The shot goes from when she starts to raise her hand to when she touches it.  to Ruth's cheek. Then there was a close-up of Susie's face. After three or four seconds, she began to become blurry and faint.

      Liz, this scene is your show time.  When you start the blur, then the close-up of Ruth's face, there's also three or four seconds until Susie's hand disappears completely, Dakota, this is your show time.  Followed by an ascending shot, it makes the audience feel like they are following Susie as she ascends to heaven.  Do you understand?  "

    "It's very clear." Liz nodded and said, imagining that set of shots.

    "Understood." Dakota also nodded.

    "This is a colorful spot, the kind that will be included in the trailer." Ye Wei was very serious, raising his chopsticks and pointing to one side, "I want the audience sitting in front of the big screen in the future, whether adults or teenagers.  Well, it¡¯s all because of these three scenes that their tears flowed like elephants spraying water.¡±

    Gia was also listening intently, learning his thoughts. There was a strong contrast. For the same young girl, one was still alive and the other was dead. The most poignant thing was obviously Susie's attachment to the world.

    Ye Wei said: "Let's show them something awesome. In those few seconds, I want you all to transform from one posture to another, and drive the audience from one emotion to another,  Use your face to express your heart, we want to get the best close-up shot.¡±

    He looked at Liz who was thoughtful and asked: "Attachment is Susie's biggest point, do you agree?"

    "Agree, I understand this." Liz stopped her spoon and thought: "When she saw Ruth, she was not only attached to her, but also fearful and inferior. She was tainted, but Ruth was not. She understood that she  Never be like Ruth again, she's dead."

    "That's a good idea." Ye Wei nodded and asked, "Will she cry?"

    "I don't think No." Liz took a bite of her food, "Susie is not a crybaby."

    "Then don't cry. All I ask is an emotional change, a change that can make people heartbroken in a single shot." Ye Wei turned to look at Dakota and asked: "The biggest point of Ruth is  "What?" Dakota responded: "Confused?" He shook his head slightly: "Confusion can't make people cry, and it doesn't create characters. Everyone will be confused."

    He looked at the still bright sky, "At that moment, Ruth thought of many lost moments of her own and many lost moments of the world. You want to save it, but there is no way. For example, if the dog you have raised for many years dies,  The beautiful flowers wither, you don¡¯t want winter to come but it still comes, that kind of loss of leaving.¡±

    "Where's the sadness?" Dakota asked again.

    Ye Wei smiled and said: "As long as the emotion ends with loss, I will judge how it changes before. You can perform it and I will judge. Take advantage of now to recall your moments of loss. Liz, you also recall your moments of nostalgia. OK, let me first  Go talk to our photographer." He stood up and walked towards Maurer and the others in the distance with the lunch box in hand.

    "Oh my God!" As soon as the director walked away, Dakota couldn't help but sigh to them: "He is so talented, I was confused just now."

    The girls chuckled in sympathy, Moody blushed, Margot looked at the walking figure in confusion, Liz looked annoyed, but she was also laughing.

    "You have no chance. Look at him, how happy he is. It can't be because of you." Gia said meaningfully, and got up and walked away.

    They looked at each other and were suddenly shocked, Master Viy and Gia!  ?

    ¡ù¡ù

    "Lily, good evening, we completed the task brilliantly today! There were a few scenes that were particularly difficult. It was not difficult for me, but for the actors. I tried it more than a dozen times. Fortunately, I finally got the effect I wanted.  , they didn¡¯t cry, I almost cried, I hope I won¡¯t have nightmares tonight.¡±

    Ding dong!  A new text message:

    "Can you please don't disturb me? If you keep doing this, I'll have to put you on the blacklist."

    ":-(Let me send it, two a day."

    "Please don't disturb me, thank you."

    "Try to stop me? Hahahaha."

    ¡°I will block you after this text message, wish you good luck.¡±

    "Really? Really blocked? Hello?", "Lily? Are you here?", "Is there anyone there?", "Hey, it's so dark here, let me out, please let me out!", "Help!",  "Anyway, since you've blocked me, I won't bother you, so I'll post as much as you want.", "I'm dancing, it's so fun.", "I want to sing.", "La la la la la la."
