tearjerker director

Chapter 887
In a drama like "The Thief of Time", if the progress is stuck, or the actors are not in good condition, then you will be so stuck that you will feel like dying.

But at the same time, if the actors are in good condition, the progress of the shooting can also make you work overtime until you want to die!

The main reason is that many times, when the actor's status comes, Li Yi must take advantage of this opportunity to make extra shots.

Therefore, there is really a big difference between filming this kind of scene and filming a scene with a big production and a big scene.

A literary film like "The Thief of Time" is more about the actor's state of acting, while for a big production, it's more about step-by-step.

Simply put, literary films focus more on actors' performances, while commercial blockbusters focus more on mise-en-scène.

Speaking of it, Li Yi actually prefers to make literary films, because his temper will actually change a lot when making literary films.

After all, there are few people on the crew and few actors. When filming, even if you get stuck, you will catch the actors to death. The problem would definitely make his trigeminal nerves ache.

For commercial blockbusters, the requirements for acting skills are actually not that high, because if you really want to be picky, it is almost impossible to make a movie with the most perfect effect.

And it's not necessary, not to say that acting skills are not needed, but in many cases, in fact, the big scenes are big productions, and the acting skills of the actors are not as attractive as the big scenes.

But literary films are different, because there are so many close-up shots, so it is very challenging for actors.

To put it simply, you can hire and use traffic stars for commercial blockbusters, but literary films really can't.

If there is really an acting skill like a wicked smile, the whole movie will have to be followed by an idiot.

Therefore, most of the time, when watching literary films, you will find that not to mention all acting films, but at least the acting skills are definitely online. Of course, this refers to relatively excellent literary films.

Closer to home.

When "The Thief of Time" was filming, Mu Qing also successfully started to form the crew of "Sister Tao".

Chen Weijie was invited to lead the role, and an old actor from Hong Kong Island will act later.

Li Yi didn't intervene too much.

However, the media reported it enthusiastically.

"Male and female directors, confront the series of Hong Kong Island's past events, "The Thief of Time" and "Sister Tao", who will be the winner?"

"The husband sings and the wife follows. Li Yi directed and filmed the movie "The Thief of Time", and Li Yi's wife Mu Qing directed the same series of Hong Kong Island "Sister Tao", which may become a good story of a male and female director!"

"Male and female directors work together to create a series of Hong Kong Island past events!"

However, in any case, whether it is "The Thief of Time" or "Sister Tao", more attention is paid to the local side of Hong Kong Island. After all, the two films mainly focus on the Hong Kong Island Past Events series.

These two films are both low-cost literary films, and the background of the story is Hong Kong Island.

Although Hong Kong films were indeed brilliant in the past, but now Hong Kong commercial films are still in the doldrums, let alone literary films.

Therefore, what everyone pays more attention to is actually whether these two films will participate in the awards.

For literary films, it is obviously impossible to compare the box office with commercial films, so what is the criterion for the success of literary films?
The number of awards is definitely one, and the other is word of mouth.

In fact, "The Thief of Time" and "Sister Tao" can almost be said to have been booked for next year's Hong Kong Island Film Awards.

This is really not an inside story, but because these two movies are so special.

Although the Hong Kong Island Film Awards can be regarded as a Chinese-language film award, in fact, everyone knows that the prefix of this award is Hong Kong Island Film.

The two films "The Thief of Time" and "Sister Tao" are both series of Hong Kong Island's past events.

The former is adapted from the real experience of Meng Qiguang, the most famous director on Hong Kong Island. The person who directed this film is Li Yi, the most famous director on Hong Kong Island.

And "Sister Tao" is also very special. This movie is also about the series of past events on Hong Kong Island. The difference is that the movie "Sister Tao" is also closely related to the film industry.

Therefore, no matter from any aspect, these two films will be the darlings of next year's Hong Kong Island Film Awards.

Regardless, Li Yi really didn't value the Hong Kong Film Awards that much.

The main reason is that he was so embarrassed when he won the prize.

But in order to promote the film, "The Thief of Time" was submitted to the Venice Film Festival in advance.

In fact, if "The Thief of Time" wants to win the Golden Lion Award, there is really little hope.

The three major European film festivals, it seems easy for Li Yi to win the award before, but in fact?
Every time Li Yi wins an award, he has to say that luck and subject matter play a large role.

First of all, at the Cannes Film Festival, Li Yi's "The Truman Show" can be said to be truly popular all over the world, and it even won the Oscar for Best Picture.

Innately, there is a huge gimmick, and it has been too long since the Cannes Film Festival has not won an award for a speech film. Therefore, Li Yi won the award, partly because of the great influence of "The Truman Show".

In addition, "Suyuan" can also be said to be very suitable for the tastes of the Cannes judges, so it finally won the award.

And what about the Venice Film Festival?

Not to mention, "Paradise Cinema" itself is a story that happened in Sicily, Italy, and it was filmed by a foreign film director like Li Yi, not to mention that "Paradise Cinema" is known as a love letter to movies. The film is also endorsed by the chairman of the jury of the Venice Film Festival. It is not surprising that it won the award.

In the end, at the Berlin Film Festival, the judges at the time were Chinese and Hong Kong Islanders. In addition, the theme of "Life is Beautiful" is indeed special. It can be said that this movie perfectly fits the taste of the Berlin Film Festival.

At the same time, in terms of the Berlin Film Festival, it may not have been considered to complete Li Yi's Grand Slam, so Li Yi won the Golden Bear Award.

But this does not mean that it is easy to win the awards of the three major European film festivals. At least with Li Yi's name "The Thief of Time" entering the main competition unit, Li Yi believes that there is still great hope, but winning awards, especially winning awards, Li Yi almost gave up hope.

"The Thief of Time" tells the past of Hong Kong Island. Although it is a literary film, in fact, it does not meet the appetite of the judges of major international awards at this stage.

But there is still great hope for getting an award.

Regardless of the award, as long as it is selected, it will definitely have a great effect on the promotion of the movie.

Moreover, whether Li Yi wins the award or not can attract widespread attention. After all, this is Li Yi's second trip to the International Film Festival after the Grand Slam.

That's good publicity in itself.

Coincidentally, "Sister Tao" has also decided to submit to the Venice International Film Festival.

In fact, it is more for the purpose of creating a gimmick. It is the same thing to win an award or not. The key point is that Li Yi and Mu Qing's Hong Kong Island Past Events series of films all participated in the same film festival together, which in itself Interesting isn't it?
