This director needs to apologize

Chapter 246: Regret and dismay

Xiangrui was left speechless by Chen Yiming. It was obvious that she was overly immersed in this scene again.

On the other hand, the two protagonists may not be suitable for this kind of "implicit" pull in the small days. When they need to show delicate and tangled emotions to each other, the accuracy is always a little bit different.

In the face-to-face scene just now, it was obvious that Liu Dongjun didn't catch the rhythm right, and he didn't show the energy of the male protagonist who was both expectant, coy, and hard-faced and guilty in that situation.

Fortunately, there are not many direct rivalry scenes between the male and female protagonists in "Love Letter", and there are even fewer scenes that require emotional interaction. This way the acting flaws of An Xixi and Liu Dongjun are covered up.

Wang Suqiu carefully pulled the film frame by frame. After reviewing the shot repeatedly, she intervened and made a suggestion.

"Is it possible to cut off the scene where the male protagonist raises his head? Just skip the short facial expression scene and go directly to the transition scene."

Before Chen Yiming could speak, Xiangrui shook his head first.

"There needs to be an aftertaste here. From the perspective of the film's rhythm, it would be best to follow a panning shot that passes over the heroine to the teaching building and the sky. It would be best if there are flying birds and flowing clouds."

Chen Yiming took back the words that were on his lips. It would be best if he could figure it out for himself.

It has to be said that Xiangrui’s basic skills and artistic sense are still very good. He broke out of the subjective confinement and stood from a transcendent perspective, and immediately discovered the problem.

Xiangrui jumped up and rushed out, "I'll go make an appointment with the location and actors to reshoot right away."

Chen Yiming held the girl down and said, "There's no hurry. You've made a date today and you can finish the filming tomorrow. What if you turn around and find out that you need to retake it?"

Are you going to torment everyone again?

Even if you have enough funds, you can't let you do this! "

Xiangrui was immediately stunned and slumped on his chair by Chen Yiming.

Wang Suqiu didn't have to worry about Chen Yiming at all and had already marked the reshoots on the console.

The perspective returns to the real male protagonist again, and the scene is the home of the second male lead.

The heroine's reply was full of praise for the male protagonist when she was a student. Naturally, the hero and the second male lead were greatly encouraged. They were so complacent that they aroused the curiosity of the second male lead's sister, the second female lead, Miao Xiaotong.

The second female lead, who once liked the male protagonist, ridiculed the two for their "childish" behavior of "dressing up to fish", and the plot then entered the male protagonist's third memory.

There is nothing wrong with the auspicious filming of this section, and the narrative is not too fancy. It simply promotes the plot and does not involve too much emotion or atmosphere.

Overall, it was a funny skit. The second female lead sent a love letter to her brother's "old flame", but it ended up being sent to the male lead who had the same name and surname in the same class.

The male protagonist was extremely troubled with the love letter from his "love rival". Inspired by his moral integrity, he still handed over the letter, but driven by his awkward psychology, he used a sneaky method.

So a beautiful misunderstanding arises.

Before reminiscing, the second female lead had some vicious and violent cynicism towards the two men, inheriting the venomous persona from the previous wedding.

She called the male lead a "cockroach" and the second male lead a "coward."

The shared memories of the male protagonist, the second female protagonist, and the second female protagonist reveal the mystery. It turns out that the second male protagonist's "love letter" is not a confession at all, because the second male protagonist simply does not have the courage. The content of the letter is just copied from a digest magazine. Here comes the emotional chicken soup.

The male protagonist's "sneaky" letter-delivery behavior did not escape the female protagonist's smart eyes, but the content of the letter made her dumbfounded.

Naturally, there was no reply to the second male protagonist's "love letter". The second female protagonist actually fell in love with this job of delivering letters on behalf of her brother because of her good impression of the male protagonist.

So under the "irrigation" of love letters one after another, the heroine becomes more and more impressed by the hero, and becomes more and more accustomed to the weekly fixed love letters. The hero also suffers from this. In a chain reaction, the passion of the second heroine The same is true of mud cows entering the sea.

It wasn't until the day of the basketball inter-school competition that four people from different schools and grades accidentally gathered on the basketball court. The second boy heard the cheers of the hero's name ringing from the court, and he suddenly realized what the problem was.

A youthful and sweaty basketball showdown started between the male protagonist and the second male protagonist. Afterwards, the four parties involved stood together. The second male protagonist knew the whereabouts of his letter through his sister, and the female protagonist also knew the origin of the "love letter" road.

The truth is revealed!

The two "men" maintained a minimum of demeanor in front of the girl, and had a one-on-one real man fight outside the school after school.

In the end, the two could not make a deal without fighting. Ye Zuxin took Liu Dongjun and made a gentleman's agreement to pursue An Xixi, and each would not stand in the way of the other based on their abilities.

So before the male protagonist could figure out the meaning of his love, he was taken to the ditch by his love rival.

Love is like this in adolescence. I can't explain what I like, and I don't understand what I like about her.

If the person involved has a companion who likes to give pointers, a situation such as "I don't want you to feel, I want what I feel" will most likely occur.

Others say I like her, so maybe I really like her, right?

This passage is a shared memory of the three of them, so Xiangrui adopted a realistic style when shooting and removed all soft light filters.

Of course, through warm-toned lighting, there is a significant difference between the film effect and the memories from the heroine's perspective.

Chen Yiming discovered that Xiangrui has a talent for comedy. The rhythm of burying the truth and shaking off the baggage was fast and he made this short segment full of joy.

The degree of completion is quite high, and Wang Suqiu is also good at editing such narrative-rich passages, so Chen Yiming temporarily became the hands-off shopkeeper and watched the whole process without saying a word. Xiangrui regained some of his confidence as a director. The next development confirmed the female lead's evaluation of the male lead and male lead.

The way the male protagonist pursues a girl is to secretly work hard to make himself "worthy of her", so he is busy learning foreign languages, practicing Chinese calligraphy, and sketching every day.

The second male lead on the other side gradually transformed into a character similar to a dog-headed strategist, and the second female lead with ulterior motives mixed it up, making the male lead's sophomore year of high school a lot more chaotic.

Pleasant high school memories make the letter from the hero to the heroine filled with liveliness and joy.

In fact, the author of this letter is not the male protagonist, but the second female protagonist.

She really couldn't stand the "cowardly temptation" behavior of the two men, so at the end of the letter, she asked the heroine directly if she had encountered any embarrassing things in high school because of the same name. Did she ever resent the hero at that time? ?

Although it is still a sideways move, the steps taken are obviously much bigger.

After the relaxing part, it is natural to turn to the low part. In reality, after the heroine opened the letter and read it, she also entered a memory that was unique to her.

Under the gray and blue tones, the same classroom exudes a cool atmosphere, especially when the classroom is filled with many more oppressive adults.

The words "Parent Communication Meeting for the Second Semester of Senior High School" are written on the blackboard, clearly indicating the current time point.

The teacher on the podium was commenting on the students' final grades. This was another over-the-top mistake. The protagonist of the incident was the hero's father.

As for the heroine's seat, it was empty.

The person who deserves to laugh the most is not there at all, which just shows how cold the joke is.

The camera once again shifted to the heroine's bedroom. The heroine got up from the desk and came to the living room.

The furnishings in the living room are simple to the point of blandness. In the center is a rectangular dining table with a test paper spread out on it, and nothing else.

Wang Suqiu skillfully pulled the material that had been processed in advance into orbit. It was obvious that he had "reviewed" this paragraph more than once. Since Chen Yiming at the back did not speak, he cut it according to his own ideas.

This is the main branch of the heroine side. It is a youth movie. The interpersonal relationships are relatively simple and cannot be separated from school and family.

The male protagonist's memories mainly focus on the campus, which is a subjective beautification part.

So as a comparison, the heroine's memories should be extended to the family to make up for the regrets and difficulties.

Of course, the original script only scratched the surface of this branch line and did not delve into it in depth. The branch plot itself does not have any bloody plots such as terminal illness, single parent, native birth, etc. It is just a common communication problem in Chinese families.

There is a small spiritual misunderstanding between the parents who are busy at work and neglecting their children, and the daughter who is obedient, sensible and unwilling at heart.

The heroine's recollection once again confirmed the outcome of the test paper incident, and the score of 57 at the top of the test paper was clearly visible.

Of course the heroine knew that this was not her test paper, but she deliberately kept it in order to "stimulate" her parents at the appropriate time.

Xiangrui shot this scene particularly well, and the two guest actors from the Phantom Film Studio also performed very well, perfectly portraying the image of a middle-aged couple who loves their children but is exhausted by work.

The shock when they saw the test paper, the unnatural smile that suddenly appeared, the deliberate avoidance of the test paper, and the guilt hidden in their eyes, it can be said that the two of them were full of drama while eating.

In contrast, An Xixi, a cute newbie, was reduced to rubbish. She held the bowl with a wooden face and ate from beginning to end. The expectation that should be hidden at the bottom could not be completely hidden, but the superficial indifference turned out to be true, so The character's personality seems a bit fragmented.

Chen Yiming's treatment is very simple, one word called "cutting".

The heroine's subplot is not the focus of the movie. It only serves to enrich the heroine's character. It is enough to let the audience know that there is such a thing. There is really no need to be overly colorful.

Chen Yiming directed Wang Suqiu to cut off all the "inner scenes" of An Xixi showing her chicken feet, and only retained sporadic scenes of the heroine's parents seeing the test papers.

As for the eating scene where the three of them meet, the whole scene was ruined by Chen Yiming.

Xiangrui next to him bit his lip to prevent himself from shouting, as if wearing a mask of pain on his face.

The proud moments that were shot so hard were cut into a few minutes of quick cuts.

pain!It hurts so much!

After all the paragraphs were cut, Xiangrui said in a depressed tone, "It's cut like this, it's incoherent, and all the topics of the parent-teacher meeting are gone."

Chen Yiming said without looking back, "Let's add special effects. Fortunately, you have enough footage. Flash forward a few frames of the parents walking through the living room. On the other side, the heroine is sitting at the desk in the bedroom, speechless. This alienation Isn’t the feeling coming?

As for the parent-teacher meeting, it would be nice not to mention it at all, which just shows that the heroine’s parents don’t remember it at all. "
