Chapter 1335 The beauty of first love is inner
"Pounding Heartbeat" can be hailed as one of the must-see romance films in life, the purest romance film, true childhood sweetheart romance film, etc., which has its own unique features.
Although Li Yi didn't think about adapting it locally, many of the plots in it are still enough to impress movie fans in any country.
Because some things may happen in different environments, but that is more of a hook, which can easily bring back memories buried deep in people's memories.
Of course, "Pounding Heart" is not so easy to shoot.
First of all, this is a movie with boys and girls as the protagonists. I don’t know if it’s because of the original filter or preconceptions. At least at this moment, Li Yi, if he chooses actors, he will definitely compare them with the original characters.
However, such a movie is naturally not suitable for domestic use.
After all, when you were young, playing house was only limited to very, very young children.
If you are a middle school student playing this kind of house-playing game, call your parents every minute.
Therefore, Li Yi must be going to Hollywood to shoot this movie.
Li Yi quickly took out the script of "Heartbeat".
Li Yi has gone to Hollywood again, which is definitely not good news for some people, such as Zhao Guangming.
He still wants to continue to encourage Li Yi to continue making "Mission" films next year.
But for those domestic directors who are dominated by the big devil and fear, this is definitely a great joy, and it is enough to restrain themselves without setting off firecrackers to celebrate.
What?You said that Director Dog is going to make a literary film this time?
Don't talk about it, is there a difference?
In Hollywood, James Dean is enthusiastic about not wanting it. In fact, not only him, but also several other Hollywood giants are also flocking to Li Yi.
No way, the benefits are touching!
The film Li Yi made earlier made them huge profits.
And the return on investment is really scary. Of course, the more important thing is that Li Yi is different from other Huaguo directors, he really understands the North American market.
Another point is that the investment in Li Yi's movies is generally not high. Although he himself has to share a lot of profits, who made him create huge profits?
You get what you pay for!
However, in fact, "Pounding Heartbeat" is really not new purely from the story point of view.
It's even a bit old-fashioned, which everyone can understand.
Because if you simply extract the "love line" in the film, you will find that this is just a love story of "I have a crush on you, but you have a crush on me; I have a crush on you, but you have a crush on me" .And this kind of love story is undoubtedly "rotten street" and "dog blood".
Many people say that they pay more attention to scripts in Hollywood. Li Yi thought so at first, but after making a few films in Hollywood, he realized that this is really a nonsense rumor.
In fact, Hollywood cannot say that it does not value scripts, but what people value is "celebrity scripts", pay attention to the famous screenwriter, or famous director, or famous producer first, and then the script.
Hollywood has a green light system, but really, it has nothing to do with scripts!
Most of the time, even Li Yi's projects need to go through this system, but for a great director like Li Yi, this process is more of a cutscene.
The fact is that the story script that Li Yi came up with is just because it is old-fashioned and bloody, but it made them feel at ease the first time, isn't it strange?
No, it's not surprising at all!
If Li Yi came up with a very innovative and special script, unless the creativity was really amazing enough, otherwise, they would be worried about the risk.
But it happened that what he presented was a very "ordinary" script, which in the eyes of people like James Dean reduced the risk.
The "Pounding Heartbeat" project naturally passed the green light system as quickly as possible.
The bulk of the investment in this film is Li Yi's salary.
The rest is just drizzle.
The film project was approved, but the issue of casting was placed in front of Li Yi.
Dean Films found several well-known Hollywood child stars of the right age for Li Yi, but unfortunately, Li Yi was not satisfied after the audition.
In fact, the reason is very simple. On the one hand, it is the original heroine who brought the original filter to Li Yi. On the other hand, it is also because of age.
To put it bluntly, the age of the heroine in "Pounding Heartbeat" is mainly around the eighth grade, a teenage girl.
Such an age, in fact, is an embarrassing advantage among actors.
What Li Yi wants to choose is the kind of clean heroine, especially in terms of eyes and temperament, it must be that kind of natural innocence.
But what kind of world is this?
What kind of circle is the entertainment circle?
It can be said that none of the girl stars of the right age in the first round met Li Yi's requirements.
Because these people were born as child stars, their acting skills are actually not that important in Li Yi's film, the key is to want that feeling.
But these young actresses are not saying that they are not beautiful. In fact, on the contrary, these youthful actresses are actually very beautiful.
However, they have been in the big dye tank of the entertainment circle for many years, and it is difficult for their temperament to meet Li Yi's requirements.
As we all know, Li Yi doesn't like to use new actors, but sometimes there are exceptions, such as this time.
"New actor?" Carlos frowned involuntarily.
"That's right, I suddenly felt that we shouldn't cast roles from these well-known actors at all, because the heroine I need is a natural actor who has not been assimilated by the entertainment industry. Therefore, newcomers I think an actor would be a good choice." Li Yi said lightly.
Carlos recalled the script of Li Yi's film, and then nodded.
In fact, Li Yi didn't have much expectations for the box office of "Heartbeat". After all, the original version of this film didn't get any good box office, and it didn't even win any decent awards.
What's interesting is that this film is much more famous in China than it is in North America. Some people say that it is because the film is too reserved and fresh, which is more suitable for the East, but not for the West.
But he just wanted to make this film.
Of course, the dismal box office of this film in my memory has a lot to do with the lack of attention. After all, this is a small and fresh film, and it can be said to be a niche literary film.
Closer to home.
Different directors have different understandings of movies. Li Yi doesn't understand what the original director wants to express, but he has his own understanding.
Therefore, there will naturally be different requirements in terms of casting.
Quickly, Carlos found some actors of the right age to audition.
This time, it was much better than before.
And Li Yi discovered a very interesting question. In fact, the actors that Carlos recruited were not newcomers, they were also child actors, but the difference was that these female child actors were different from the previous batch, the biggest ones. The difference is that these girl stars, although experienced in filming, are not that famous.
Li Yi couldn't help being a little dazed.
Thinking of the heroine of the original version, she seems to be a girl star, and she debuted at the age of three, and has filmed many film and television works, but she is not that famous.
Thinking about it this way, Li Yi can understand the problem.
For famous child actors, they will naturally face more problems, but if they are not so famous, acting is more of a job, plus they are underage, so they will be better protected .
As for the shooting location of the movie, Li Yi really doesn't need to worry too much about it. The main reason is that perhaps the environment in the movie is hard to see in China, but in Laomei, where the land is vast and the population is sparse, it is really Not a lot.
Li Yi didn't know where the original filming location was, but Li Yi was quite satisfied with the several filming locations that Carlos and the others found for Li Yi.
The film starts off quickly and quietly.
Although it was not easy to shoot the movie "Heartbeat", Li Yi enjoyed it quite a bit.
Because he doesn't have much ambition in this movie, he just purely likes this kind of small and fresh feeling.
In China, there are actually quite a few small and fresh movies, but in Hollywood, there are really fewer and fewer.
During the filming process, Li Yi enjoyed the filming process very much, because the two young actors, the Sunglasses King in Li Yi's memory this time, did not directly tell them how to act. After all, they are different actors with different The world, different environments, although Li Yi has the original version as a reference, he still feels that it would be more "real" for the actors to play by themselves.
What is there to say?
What adults think children of this age are like, does not mean that they are really like that in these children.
Therefore, Li Yi drew a frame more, and then let them play to their heart's content within this frame.
Because the mental state of a child of fourteen or fifteen years old is completely different from that of a child of seven or eight years old, or seventeen or eighteen years old.
If it is a child of seven or eight years old, then you must limit it and tell them how to act, because children of this age have not yet formed their own complete cognition.
But fourteen or fifteen years old is different. Children in this age group already have their own set of cognition, even if it is not perfect, but they already have the unique characteristics of their age group.
If you are seventeen or eighteen years old, you will be more adult.
Therefore, movies in this age group are actually the most special.
I have to say that this time the casting was really right.
The heroine, Marina, has very good acting skills and is very aura. The whole person gives Li Yi the feeling that she is very clean, but she does not lack aura.
At the beginning, they were still a little uncomfortable with Li Yi's directing style, which was the sheep-herding style.
The way to let them play freely inside the box, but after a quick familiarization, they start to really show their own level.
Li Yi doesn't know how they cultivated such acting skills during their growth, but I have to say that there is really a big gap in this respect among many young actors in China in the same age group.
For example, Marina, this little actress, is actually not that stunning and beautiful.
Regardless of Laomei's aesthetics or Li Yi's aesthetics, she is not that kind of beauty at first sight.
But this just fits the setting of the characters in the movie.
In fact, if she is really the kind of little beauty who is amazing at a glance, then why did the male protagonist bother her so much in the first place?
The beauty of first love is never external, but internal!
And there is another point, it is worth mentioning that during this period of time, Li Yi will deliberately go to understand the current situation of their age group in this era in his spare time.
As a result, Li Yi quickly understood why, in the era in his memory, a movie like "Pounding Heartbeat" did not make any splashes in the local area.
Because, "Pounding Heartbeat" is really different from the mainstream children of this age group on the Laomei side.
At the age of fourteen or fifteen, in China, it can be said that children hardly have the time to think about so many complicated things, because learning comes first.
But here, leaving aside those elite-educated families, the vast majority of children of this age are mature and frightening.
Many people think that the heroine in the movie is a bit too precocious?
In a way, yes.
Because she knows what she wants, from this point of view she is indeed precocious.
But on the other hand, "Heartbeat" is indeed more suitable for the restrained culture of the East.
Because her precocity is in thought, not in other things.
Therefore, Li Yi also sent a copy of the script to Zhao Guangming, mainly to see if such a film could be released in China.
The shooting of the film went very smoothly, after all, the film does not involve anything complicated.
Of course, although Li Yi doesn't have high expectations for the local box office of the film, he will definitely not tell James Dean about them.
Anyway, in this world, this is Li Yi's work, and he still hopes to try whether this movie can achieve better results with the support of more resources.
So the way of announcement is very important.
In fact, compared with the era in memory, "Pounding Heart" still has an advantage.
Because, the so-called extremes must be reversed!
Therefore, after Li Yi communicated with Anne, the person in charge of the publicity and distribution of the film at Dean Films, they decided to focus on contrast.
What contrast?
What kind of films are the most popular on the market nowadays?
Full of violence, surnames, high technology, etc., these are the mainstream of Hollywood nowadays.
If the publicity is conventional, then the same mistakes will inevitably be repeated.
Therefore, Li Yi's idea is to rebel!
If it is said that degenerate culture is prevalent in the old America nowadays, then the movie "Pounding Heart" can be said to be the product of the cultural background that is not completely degenerate.
Does everyone love the prevailing culture?
The answer is not necessarily!
The scarcer anything is, no matter how small it is, there is still a market for it.
Just because of its scarce attributes.
Moreover, the main audience of this movie, in Li Yi's view, is not those teenagers, but young and middle-aged audiences.
