China Entertainment started from cutting off the Hu in 1995

The movie Run Lola Run was actually shot according to the game mode. That is to say, everything Lola encounters on the road can be regarded as a game level. After Lola failed the first two times, she directly used the loader to restart, until she finally succeeded in saving her boyfriend the third time.

This loading or time reversal is a basic setting, which is obvious from the beginning of the movie. If you have all kinds of nitpicks about this basic setting when watching the movie, and have been questioning why you went back in time, then you will watch the movie. All kinds of unpleasant things, do you think this is some kind of mess?

Fortunately, by the end of the century, everyone has generally accepted this setting in movies. On the contrary, more than 90% of young people thought it was super cool after seeing it. If the movie had been released 10 years earlier, it might have been criticized for being too ahead of its time.

The reason why Run Lola Run was filmed in Hong Kong and Macao is because Lola, as a game character, has a chaotic view of good and evil. As long as she can complete the task of saving her boyfriend, she can do anything.

In the first time, she was willing to help her boyfriend go to the supermarket to rob money. In the second time, she was willing to kidnap her father, a bank executive, to rob a bank for her boyfriend. The third time, she passed the customs smoothly without any illegal behavior.

In fact, there is an implicit message here to educate the audience that breaking the law will have no good consequences, and only by acting within the rules can success be achieved.

But judging from the chaotic behavior of Laura, the heroine, aren't you inciting the audience to rob?

Moreover, the third time she made money by going to the casino, so she could not be filmed in the mainland, and most likely it would not be released. All these factors decided that Run Lola Run was filmed in Hong Kong and Macao.

After Wu Yuchen brought the crew to Hong Kong Island, he contacted Yindu, which he had already contacted.

This time Wu Yuchen not only recruited the male and female protagonists through auditions, but also several supporting roles.

Teacher Li, is this not your first time coming to Hong Kong Island?

Hi, when I came here before, I got off the big Ben and stepped into the door of a five-star hotel. I drank XO and smoked cigars. Even the tips were hundreds and hundreds. In five years Before, it was a trivial thing for me to allow our crew to stay in a five-star hotel every day.

The person who said this was Li Chengru, a bank executive who plays the role of the heroine Laura's father.

Li Chengru was once rich, with a prosperous clothing business and US$13 million in his account. However, in 1993, his foreign exchange speculation was wiped out overnight.

Wu Yuchen smiled when he heard this. He felt that Li Chengru's ability to talk about this matter now meant that he had put it aside and his mentality was still good.

There is another important supporting role, the beggar who picked up the money lost by the original actor. He also appeared a lot, and Ni Dahong was invited.

Except for these four people, the other actors Wu Yuchen are planning to find them in Hong Kong and Macao. Basically, they are small supporting roles with not that many roles. Just hire some TVB actors to come over. It is cheap and affordable, and they can make extra money.

This time, some of the scenes were shot in Hong Kong Island and some in Macao. The main task was to select suitable scenery. Fortunately, someone in Yindu had already helped roughly select some scenes in advance, which saved Wu Yuchen a few days of location scouting. .

The male protagonist played by Fu Dalong is called Manny. There is a surname of Man in China. The name Manny is homophonic to the English word money, so it means that the mission of the entire movie is also around money.

At a crossroads, Fu Dalong was standing in a phone booth. Outside the phone booth, Wu Yuchen was explaining to the photographer:

Waiting for this shot, let the cross frame on the phone booth be in the center of the shot, then stretch it back, and then take the entire intersection behind the phone booth. The intersection must finally be in the middle of the shot, do you understand?

The photographer nodded in understanding.

Then he said to Fu Dalong in the phone booth:

Dalong, please pay attention to your position and don't block the Satanic image posted inside the phone booth.

Fu Dalong looked at the plane seat and the picture of Satan's head next to him, expressing his understanding.

What Wu Yuchen is talking about is the first scene that will be filmed soon. Manny is making a call in a phone booth. Whether it is the cross frame outside the phone booth or the crossroads, they all have a meaning, that is, Jesus was crucified and suffered. It symbolizes that Manny has fallen into trouble at this time, and it goes without saying what Satan represents.

There are a lot of symbolic details like this in this movie, and Wu Yuchen had to explain them clearly before shooting, otherwise if the actors and the photographer don't cooperate well, there will be omissions.

At this time, Li Xiaoran was also watching around. Only now did she realize that there was such a big gap between making movies and making TV series.

In the TV series she filmed before, even when watching the protagonist's performance, they were very casual, as long as the plot was shown.

But when filming a movie, the positioning, lens, color, performance, etc. are much more particular than those in a TV series.

She looked at Wu Yuchen, who was giving orders and explaining various things at this moment, and suddenly realized that if it weren't for him, she might not have been able to reach the higher world of movies for several years.

Li Xiaoran took a deep breath. She might not understand many things, but she had 100% trust in Wu Yuchen and would do whatever he asked her to do. She knew that she had to give her best to perform well this time, not only for herself, but also for Wu Yuchen, who chose her as the heroine.

The basic skills of an actor focus on vocal form. Li Xiaoran's figure is definitely fine, even better than many actors, and her voice is also very good. Some people have problems with timbre and pronunciation, such as getting tired after talking for a long time, but she was She was sent to be trained by her mother.

In terms of lines, she is a little worse, but fortunately, this Run Lola Run does not have a lot of lines, it is very life-like, and 70% of it is sports shots.

The only thing that's bad is her acting. Now it's impossible for Wu Yuchen to teach her many skills at once, so she needs to take the experiential approach and get into the role, so that her own various behaviors will be transformed without realizing it. Shooting will be smooth.

Wu Yuchen had already done this when he selected her to be the heroine, analyzing the role and telling the story, such as instilling in her that Laura is a love brain and is willing to sacrifice anything for love and her boyfriend.

Click!

Li Xiaoran, pay attention to your expression when you run. The person you love most is waiting for you to rescue you. You should have an anxious look and wrinkled eyebrows now!

Click!

You have to look determined when you run here!

It's determination, not anger. Don't clench your teeth so tightly!

The first thing Wu Yuchen filmed was the scenes where Laura was running. When she was running, she filmed Li Xiaoran's entire body movements. The requirements on her facial expressions were not that high, allowing her to gradually enter the role.

When filming the running scene, it was not only Li Xiaoran who was tested, but also the photographer. Sometimes you can drive a car and shoot, but sometimes the photographer has to carry the camera and follow her, filming while running, and trying to be as steady as possible. This is a physical job, including Wu Yuchen, who takes turns with the photographer. !

…

Hui Zai, can you ride a bicycle?

Yes, yes! Zhang Jiahui nodded quickly.

Okay, it's 500 yuan for a half-day shoot. It's a mainland crew. We can do whatever the director says. Can we do it?

Brother Ding, I can do it! Zhang Jiahui immediately agreed with a smile.

Yindu has a requirement that you can't discriminate against your compatriots when you go there, do you know that?

Brother Ding, who am I to discriminate against others! Everyone just eats for a living, and whoever gives me the food gets to show off!

Okay, I see you have a sharp head, come with me!

Zhang Jiahui's eyes lit up with joy when he heard this and he hurried to follow. No matter what opportunity he gets now, he will take it as long as he can film!

Zhang Jiahui is a small artist signed by TVB. He is not famous, but he has a girlfriend Guan Yonghe who is far more famous than himself. Originally, he was gossiped about because of this, saying that he was a softie.

Later, in 1995, when he was deeply in love, he went to Guan Yonghe's house to visit his parents. Zhang Jiahui was shocked. Guan Yonghe lived in a luxurious mansion, and even the toilet was bigger than his rental house!

Regardless of fame, career or family background, Zhang Jiahui felt that he was not worthy of the other party. With low self-esteem, Zhang Jiahui fled to South Africa without saying a word. It wasn't until eight months later that his sister got cancer. He hurried back to Hong Kong Island, only to find that it was Guan Yongha who had been taking care of his sister in the hospital on his behalf. He even lied to his sister and said, He told me to take good care of you.

Zhang Jiahui was so moved that he burst into tears and never mentioned the breakup again, but he made a vow to act like himself and not let his girlfriend down!

The next thing that Wu Yuchen will shoot is when Lola meets a young man who steals a bicycle while running. This scene is actually a tribute to the Italian classic movie The Bicycle Thief.

But he didn't expect that when he asked Yindu to help find a young man to play this small supporting role, he actually found Zha Zhahui!

Hello director, I am Zha Zhahui!

Wu Yuchen looked at Zhang Jiahui who showed a flattering smile to him, and couldn't help but smile. He remembered the other party's classic saying, I'm a scumbag, and my brothers are here to chop me down!

Wu Yuchen said to Zhang Jiahui:

Your role is not difficult, but you will have to speak Mandarin for several lines later. Is it possible for you to do it?

No problem! No problem!

Zhang Jiahui patted his chest and assured that he could understand Mandarin, but he only spoke Cantonese, so he had to practice his Mandarin lines later. But it’s just a few lines, so you can learn it by just following it word by word!

Half an hour later, after listening to the assistant director's explanation of the play, Zhang Jiahui, who had already practiced his lines, was wearing a red Manchester United jersey and got on a bicycle.

This scene was filmed where the heroine met this bicycle guy three times. Just because she said different words or took different actions, it caused major changes in his subsequent destiny.

3, 2, 1, action!

At the corner, Li Xiaoran ran out on the sidewalk, and Zhang Jiahui on a bicycle also appeared from the intersection. He looked at Li Xiaoran who was running wildly, approaching her on his bicycle, and shouted with a smile:

Hey, beauty, do you need a bicycle?

Li Xiaoran turned to look at him while running, but ignored him.

As he spoke, Zhang Jiahui continued to gesture towards Li Xiaoran, making an expression as if he was riding a bicycle very easily now:

“Only 100 yuan, it’s like new!”

Li Xiaoran shouted impatiently: No!

Zhang Jiahui curled his lips when he saw this, and then accelerated past Li Xiaoran.

Pass!

This scene was very simple and was completed in two takes.

This was the first time the two met. After that, Wu Yuchen had to add a few photos of Zhang Jiahui after this scene. The content was probably that he was caught and beaten up by a few strong men for stealing a bicycle. He went away with a bruised nose and a swollen face. He went to the hospital, so he met a young nurse, and then he dated the young nurse, changed his mind for love, and finally got married.

After Li Xiaoran took a rest, he continued filming the next scene.

action!

The same scene.

Hey, beauty, do you need a bicycle?

This time Li Xiaoran said no directly, but Zhang Jiahui still said:

“Only 100 yuan, it’s like new!”

Stolen! Li Xiaoran shouted while running, exposing it directly.

This made Zhang Jiahui's smile disappear immediately. He made an unhappy expression on his face and sped away.

Pass!

This was the second time the two met, and the fate of the young man who stole the car changed because the heroine said different things.

After this scene, Wu Yuchen will also add a series of photos of Zhang Jiahui, showing that he may be wary of Li Xiaoran's words in the future and was not caught and beaten by the car owner, but he became a homeless man, not only poor but also picking up garbage. And since he didn’t have a girlfriend, he could only follow women on the street to look at plum blossoms to quench his thirst. In the end, he contracted the disease and died during the injection.

In the end, of course, we filmed the third encounter.

This time, Li Xiaoran didn't want to collide with a group of nuns who appeared in front of him, so he avoided them, but he also bumped into Zhang Jiahui who was riding a bicycle.

Hey hey hey! Be careful!

I'm sorry! Li Xiaoran shouted while running.

Zhang Jiahui didn't want to sell his stolen bicycle to Li Xiaoran this time. He accelerated and passed him, and turned at the intersection ahead, taking a different road from the previous two times.

The camera followed Zhang Jiahui, this time he stopped at a burger restaurant on the roadside:

Boss, a French fries and a Coke.

As soon as he turned around, he found a slovenly beggar standing next to him. The beggar smiled and shouted to the boss:

One more!

Ni Dahong put down the bottle in his hand, then sneered, lowered his head and said to himself: I am such a bad guy!

Ni Dahong raised his head and saw Zhang Jiahui looking at him, smiling excitedly and sighing:

Life is really crazy sometimes, isn't it? Do you want a drink? I'll treat you!

After finishing speaking, Ni Dahong raised the banknotes in his hand and flashed them.

Zhang Jiahui stared at the banknotes in his hand for 2 seconds, then turned to look at his bicycle:

Dude, do you want a bicycle? It's a special price for you, only 200!

Ni Dahong looked at the bicycle with interest.

Pass!

This third encounter made the young man sell his bicycle to a beggar who had picked up Manny's money. Then the beggar would get the bicycle and ride around in front of Manny. What a wonderful fate!

This scene was indeed not difficult. The main thing was that Li Xiaoran had to run back and forth to rest. It took more than an hour to shoot in total.

Wu Yuchen walked over and praised Zhang Jiahui: You performed well. I am optimistic that you will become popular in the future!

Zhang Jiahui hurriedly put his hands together and thanked: Thank you, director, thank you director!

You can follow the assistant director to take pictures later. Just finish the filming.

Wu Yuchen stopped taking the series of photos showing Zhang Jiahui's different fates himself. If the people below him can't do this kind of photo taking anymore, they can just pack up and get out!
