China Entertainment: Been working as a director since 03

Chapter 82 Sweet Finale

Not to mention Tiantian's manager, Li Yu, the designer of the makeup, was shocked by Tiantian at this time.

Tiantian is called the flower of wealth in the world.

Her overall temperament is rich and noble, and she has always been synonymous with beauty and beauty.

Li Yu used the contrast between strength and weakness here.

Jiayi, played by Tiantian, is wanted by Jin Yiwei because of her family involvement.

Her tragic situation is in sharp contrast to her own nobility.

After watching this, the audience will wonder if she was implicated. She lives in a wealthy minister's family and will definitely be able to live a happy life.

But what about Jiayi’s own experience?
  When she was fifteen or sixteen, her husband died before she was married, leaving her a tragic widow.

However, King Yan also invaded Nanjing, ransacked her home, and killed all her family members.

She didn't even have a home anymore, a weak woman who had no fixed place to live and was on the run.

The greater the contrast between Tiantian's own temperament and circumstances, the more sympathetic the audience will be to her and the deeper their impression of her character will be.

Li Yu is indeed professional when it comes to photographing beauties and highlighting them.

"Tiantian, can you cry by yourself later?"

Li Yu looked at Tiantian for a while and asked a question seriously.

The makeup he and Shang Tao designed for Tiantian was impeccable!

If Tiantian can cry on her own when filming starts, making Jiayi's character more lovable, it will definitely arouse people's desire for protection, and the effect will be great!
  Unfortunately, Tiantian shook her head and said in a waxing tone: "I...have never studied acting."

Li Yu didn't embarrass Tiantian, she was just a little girl under sixteen years old.

I have been studying dance before, and joining Beijing Film Academy will be a thing in the future.

"It's okay, just use eye drops. I will personally explain the play to you and tell you which part should be played how to play it."

In order to obtain the best shooting effect, Li Yu went to the battle in person to tell the scenes to the actresses.

This is Tiantian's first time filming.

People are inevitably nervous and overwhelmed when doing something for the first time.

The director was very gentle and easy to talk to, which allowed Tiantian's tense nerves to relax a little.

"Director Li, can you give me..."

Qiao Zhenyu came in from outside the tent and wanted Li Yu to tell him about the play.

He wants to improve so much.

But when he saw Li Yu talking about the script to Tiantian, he immediately stopped.

"What's the matter?"

Li Yu looked at Qiao Zhenyu.

"I'm looking for the pastor! It turns out the pastor isn't here."

Qiao Zhenyu is very knowledgeable and thinks quickly.

After muttering, Qiao Zhenyu nodded to Li Yu and left.

Since Li Yu is called Director Li, it would be easy to get confused if Li Muge were called Director Li again.

So everyone in the crew calls Li Muge Director Mu.

When the filming of this scene actually started.

Facts have proved that the truth of "no pain, no gain" is true.

Li Yu didn't give Tiantian half an hour of drama in vain.

Tiantian acted out the panic and bewildered expression of a little girl in the scene where she was chased by the Jin Yiwei and got separated from the large army.

Not to mention how good it is, at least it's on the passing line.

The special effects of time freezing and alien flying saucers must have been done in post-production.

So it was actually a bit funny during the filming process.

Professor Qiao, played by Qiao Zhenyu, made his debut, and he was the only one in the audience wearing modern clothes.

Everyone around him, such as Jin Yiwei and Jiayi played by Tiantian, all wear traditional costumes.

He walked slowly towards the edge of the cliff. In order to facilitate the time-freezing special effects later, Jin Yiwei and Jiayi on the edge of the cliff had to remain motionless throughout the process.

Li Yu asked the photographer to take a close-up of Tiantian's face.

She met Professor Qiao's eyes for the first time, and the tear that rolled down from her right eye was just right, capturing the fear and confusion of an ignorant girl. It took Li Yu six or seven takes to achieve this effect.

The shooting of Tiantian's scenes was a bit slow, but Professor Qiao's scenes were much easier to shoot.

Professor Qiao is an alien who has just arrived on Earth. He is indifferent to everything on Earth.

So just keep your face paralyzed throughout the whole process, and you don’t even need to make micro-expressions.

Professor Qiao's scenes can basically be played once or twice, and no more than three times at most.

The last shot of this scene is when the Jin Yiwei and the soldiers discovered that there was a strangely dressed Professor Qiao on the edge of the cliff, and they were greatly frightened.

Note that in the plot, they were just frozen by Professor Qiao.

From their perspective, they had no idea why there was an extra person on the edge of the cliff in an instant, and he was dressed in something they had never seen before.

To the superstitious ancients, Professor Qiao was a ghost and a demon.

So the leader Qianhu, who was wearing a flying fish suit and holding a embroidered spring knife, asked his subordinates to shoot arrows directly.

After shooting the arrow shooting scene, shoot a close-up of their shocked faces.

"Click! Passed."

Li Yu, who was sitting behind the monitor, was generally satisfied with the scene of shooting arrows.

Looking back through post-production, this section will become very shocking!

After they release the arrows, Professor Qiao will use teleportation to make himself and Jiayi disappear instantly, and the dense rain of arrows will all fall on the open space on the cliff.

Most of the scenes between Professor Qiao and Jiayi are in the wilderness.

Li Yu took Xingyou's crew to shoot scenes around Star City.

It is worth mentioning that it snowed in Star City in late February.

This is something that can only be met by chance, and it is an assist from God.

Logically speaking, it rarely snows in Xiangnan Province after mid-February.

But the temperature suddenly dropped during the past few days when the crew was filming, and it snowed a little.

Li Yu immediately organized people to take pictures in the fine snow, and played with the first snow stalks.

Tiantian plays Jiayi, who tells Professor Qiao that she likes Professor Qiao on the grounds that when it snows every year, she can tell a lie to people around her and be forgiven unconditionally.

Professor Qiao, an alien whose mother was born single, has never experienced this kind of thing.

In this scene, Li Yu asked Qiao Zhenyu to show the details of Professor Qiao's slightly erratic eyes and slight panic.

Professor Qiao actually doesn't like Jiayi.

To be more precise, he is an alien steel straight man who still doesn’t even understand what he likes.

He just saw that Jiayi was pitiful, so he wanted to stay by Jiayi's side and keep her safe.

Through the layering of scenes one after another, the audience will definitely feel sorry for Jiayi when watching the drama.

Director Li Yu wants exactly this effect.

What happened next was pure tragedy.

King Yan, who was staying in Nanjing, heard that a man in strange clothes and Jiayi disappeared in front of everyone.

In addition, there were rumors that Emperor Jianwen himself set fire to the palace, faked suicide, and then fled.

King Yan became extremely suspicious and ordered thousands of troops to search hundreds of miles of the valley. He would not be at ease unless Jiayi and Professor Qiao were captured or killed.

Professor Qiao was injured several times while protecting Jiayi.

Still on that cliff, Jiayi decided not to implicate Professor Qiao anymore.

She blocked Professor Qiao's arrow from missing, and before she died, she told Professor Qiao to live well.

She also returned the hosta that Professor Qiao gave her to Professor Qiao, and asked Professor Qiao to give the hosta to her loved one.

After Jiayi fell, Professor Qiao was also hit by nearly ten arrows.

This was the first time he cried since he came to Earth. He didn't cry because he was hit by an arrow, but he cried because he failed to protect the person he wanted to protect.

Thinking that Jiayi told him to live well, he pretended to be hit by an arrow and fell off the cliff.

A month later, Jin Yiwei happened to find a highly decomposed corpse somewhere under the cliff, and took the corpse as Professor Qiao.

At this point, after seven days, Tiantian is temporarily finished.
