Chapter 783 Snow Filming
The most impressive weather element in the movie "Love Letter" is probably the snowy scene.
Including the classic movie posters, which all show the heroine looking up in the snow, which later triggered a trend of many people imitating and taking photos.
Based on this point, Jiang Yuan, Fu Yunshen and others also took this important factor into consideration when choosing the shooting location.
Finally, the filming location was chosen to be a remote city in the country, which happened to be a small town at the foot of the snow-capped mountains.
On the plane, Fu Yunshen sat next to Jiang Yuan and was showing Jiang Yuan some confirmed filming locations.
"According to the shooting plan you gave me, I have made reservations for the main shooting locations."
"Once the camera is turned on, you can start shooting right away." Fu Yunshen handed the tablet computer to Jiang Yuan and showed him the confirmed photos of the venue.
He tapped the screen with his fingers, flipping through the pictures. They looked quite familiar. Jiang Yuan had already browsed through them briefly before.
However, it was still too early for the film to start shooting, so Jiang Yuan only had a general impression.
But now that filming is about to start, the words of the script are about to be converted into concrete images. Jiang Yuan stared at these pictures and scenes seriously, and began to compare them one by one with the scenes he wanted to shoot in his mind.
Whatever he thought of, Jiang Yuan would use an electronic pen to write notes directly on the picture, all of which were relatively detailed parts.
"We have also found the first wave of extras who can arrive on time." Wang Wen, who was sitting on the other side of Jiang Yuan, thought about it and reported the news to Jiang Yuan.
I inadvertently noticed the annotations Jiang Yuan left on the picture and was a little shocked.
With the shooting location already used as the background picture, plus the text annotations written by Jiang Yuan, Wang Wen felt that at that moment, a picture began to appear in his mind.
It was a very concrete visual language. At this moment, Wang Wen recalled He Jing's previous comments about Jiang Yuan, and his understanding became much deeper.
As he continued to write on the tablet, Jiang Yuan became more clear about the upcoming shoot.
"Even the details of the costumes have been planned?" Fu Yunshen put away the tablet and looked at Jiang Yuan's annotations, and couldn't help but be a little surprised.
Although the general clothing combinations were written in the script, the makeup code also matched the clothes based on this.
But now Jiang Yuan has further refined what he has marked on the pictures, even to the desired texture of the clothing fabric.
Suddenly, Fu Yunshen felt that Jiang Yuan was indeed very suitable for doing several jobs at the same time.
After making a rough plan, Jiang Yuan stopped at the right time, put on headphones and closed his eyes to rest.
On the plane, especially during long flights, Jiang Yuan really felt unsuitable for work.
Not to mention that after the plane lands, you still have to take a long bumpy car ride to the shooting location.
The mere commuting is enough to wear out one's spirit.
Listening to the music playing in the headphones, Jiang Yuan quickly relaxed. After all, he had quite a lot of experience in resting during flights.
Although you may not be able to sleep very comfortably, at least the flight time will be shortened a lot.
After waking up, it won’t be long before the plane reaches its destination.
Jiang Yuan and others set out from the Magic City in the morning, and when they were about to reach their destination, it was almost night.
However, they did enjoy the sunset over the sea of clouds on the plane. It looked very beautiful. Jiang Yuan also took a photo through the window with his camera as a record.
This is the first time that Jiang Yuan serves as a director and participates in the shooting and production of a film. He also brought his own camera and prepared to record some highlights of the shooting process.
Looking at the first photo of this trip on the display screen, Jiang Yuan couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.
The flight arrived at its destination smoothly, and Jiang Yuan and others changed into coats according to the local temperature difference.
After leaving the airport, Jiang Yuan and his group met many fans who came to greet them.
There is no such thing as a secret itinerary, although the flight information of Jiang Yuan and others has not been exposed.
However, in order to prepare for the filming, many crew members arrived at the local area in advance to make preparations.
These news inevitably spread to the Internet and attracted the attention of fans.
Wrapping themselves in coats, even though the temperature dropped sharply, Jiang Yuan and the others still preferred this kind of weather compared to the hot weather.
Or maybe everyone hopes that when the weather is hot, it will cool down quickly, and when the weather is cold, they hope that it will warm up as soon as possible.
Right now, this city with an unusual climate is not included in Jiang Yuan’s tour plan.
Local fans rarely have the opportunity to see Jiang Yuan.
So even though there weren't many people coming to the airport, it still created a lively atmosphere.
Jiang Yuan had just rested on the plane, and he tried his best to respond to the fans' enthusiastic greetings and calls.
After landing, Jiang Yuan and others were the first to go to the hotel to check in.
It was still a long way from the city to the actual filming location, so everyone decided to take a break before setting off again.
"Have you got an idea about the shooting of the first scene?" Jiang Yuan and Shang Yan'er got together for dinner, or supper.
There is nothing to avoid suspicion, after all, the two of them had traveled alone when they were recording "Yuanyouhui" before.
Right now, because of the filming of the movie, we need to spend most of our time together.
"I'm not sure how to express that emotion." Hearing Jiang Yuan's question, Shang Yan'er shook her head.
For the filming of this movie, because the story uses a flashback technique and the timeline is different, Jiang Yuan did not plan to shoot in the order that strictly follows the script like He Jing did.
If we continue to follow that method, we won’t even have enough time to change the actors’ looks, not to mention the time cost.
Therefore, Jiang Yuan also plans to shoot according to the stories of two different timelines.
The first scene to be filmed was the timeline after the death of Fujii Itsuki's character. The first scene, which was the opening of the movie, was the scene where the heroine got up from the snow.
The famous scene in the classic movie poster also comes from this scene.
Knowing this, even though Shang Yaner had studied acting seriously and studied the script, she was still not very sure about this scene.
"It doesn't matter. I'm the director anyway."
"When the time comes, just listen to my instructions and feel it more. Maybe when you get to the set, the emotions will come naturally." Jiang Yuan comforted Shang Yan'er.
"And it's always like this when I first start filming. I was..." In order to help Shang Yaner relax, Jiang Yuan also shared his first experience of filming. The break time passed quickly, and the next morning, all the crew members set off to the town where they were filming.
The journey was long, but fortunately the scenery was beautiful. Every time I looked out the window, my mood became much better.
The thought of shooting a movie in such scenery for the next period of time aroused more expectations.
After arriving at the filming location and settling in, the film's opening ceremony was completed that afternoon under the management of Wang Wen and others.
Fu Yunshen and others are more experienced in this area, and they are also sympathetic to the fact that Jiang Yuan has so much work to do.
Some non-essential work was also taken on on his own initiative, which made Jiang Yuan feel relieved.
The opening ceremony went smoothly, and was no different from the ones Jiang Yuan had attended before.
The biggest difference may be that Jiang Yuan’s identity and the environment of the opening ceremony have become different.
The opening ceremony was completed and a lot of videos and photos were taken.
The video was temporarily saved, but a few photos were selected and uploaded to the official movie account which was just certified not long ago, which also revealed to fans the news that the film has officially started shooting.
If nothing unexpected happens, this should be the last update on the official Weibo before the film is completed.
During the formal filming process, no leaks will be actively released through official accounts to avoid affecting the audience's perception of the movie after it is released.
The opening ceremony was held smoothly, and that evening, Jiang Yuan, Fu Yunqing and other leading actors including Shang Yaner sat together and began to read the script.
After Jiang Yuan's hard work over this period of time, the film script has now reached a relatively complete final version.
By reading the script, everyone can have a deeper understanding of the story itself and their respective roles.
Except for Shang Yaner, everyone present was an experienced veteran actor with great experience in this segment.
The atmosphere of the entire script reading session was very good, and Jiang Yuan also participated quite a lot in it.
An important piece of news that was not revealed at the film's launch conference is no longer a secret among the leading actors.
In addition to Shang Yaner who played two roles alone, Jiang Yuan also participated in this movie by playing two roles.
This is a character that has never been revealed at the press conference, which makes some fans who have read the original novel feel strange.
Watanabe Hiroko found him later, and in the movie, Jiang Yuan planned to play the role himself in the form of Wanwan Leiqing.
It's just that there will be some major changes in makeup, which will make the two characters look quite different.
As a result, Jiang Yuan's role in this movie has increased.
During the entire script meeting, Jiang Yuan and Shang Yaner also spoke the most.
During this process, Shang Yaner also demonstrated her excellent dialogue skills as a musical actor.
In the actors' dialogues and monologues, a complete story was also told, flowing in the hearts of all the creative staff that night.
It is clear that the time spent reading the script is not too long, no longer than the length of a movie.
But everyone seemed to have spent that long time with the characters in the story with real feelings.
At the moment of the end, everyone had a telepathic feeling that the movie seemed to be a success.
Until they were about to take a break, Fu Yunshen was still sending messages to Jiang Yuan, saying that he felt the crew this time was different from the ones he had filmed before.
It was as if some soul was gathered together and bombarded Jiang Yuan with a wave of information.
Jiang Yuan replied to several messages but found that no one could reply, so he simply chose to ignore them. He just hoped that after the filming officially began, Fu Yunshen would be able to devote his passion to the production of the film.
Because the next day was the official shooting day, everyone went to bed early to gather their energy and prepare for the first scene.
Jiang Yuan had originally thought that he would be too excited to fall asleep, so he went to bed early with this in mind, but it took him unexpectedly long to fall asleep.
After a dreamless night, Jiang Yuan arrived at the set early in a good mental state.
The entire crew is composed of a large number of staff members, which can be called a huge organization. They arrived at the scene early and operated in an orderly manner.
As a director, Jiang Yuan also took the initiative to greet the staff of various departments and confirmed the details before starting to do makeup and styling.
Before filming began, we prepared for a long time.
Jiang Yuan also walked up to the photographer and asked him to demonstrate with the camera, expressing the kind of lens feeling he wanted.
Then he found Shang Yaner, who had already done her hairstyle and changed her clothes.
When Jiang Yuan saw Shang Yaner's makeup photo, he was already amazed. It was a big change from her usual image.
In Fu Yunshen's words, just looking at this look, she has the temperament of a heroine in an art film.
Jiang Yuan felt that it was quite appropriate.
When Jiang Yuan came to Shang Yaner, he explained to her the psychology of the character in the scene that was about to be filmed.
After analyzing it from a psychological perspective to Shang Yaner, Jiang Yuan was still worried that it might be too abstract. After thinking about it, he simply lay down on the snow and gave Shang Yaner a personal demonstration.
After explaining everything that needed to be explained about the entire scene, Jiang Yuan relaxed and sat in front of the monitor.
Looking at the screen on the display, Jiang Yuan took a deep breath and picked up the intercom, "Love Letter, first scene, first shot, action!"
It was the first time he shouted like this, but Jiang Yuan had already simulated it many times in his mind.
In addition to the camera recording what Jiang Yuan saw, there were also studio employees holding cameras to help Jiang Yuan record this moment.
Jiang Yuan was unaware of this and just stared intently at the screen.
Looking at the movements and expressions shown by the photographer and Shang Yaner, they are consistent with the scenes I imagined in my mind.
Although it was Shang Yaner's first time performing in front of the camera, she had obviously digested Jiang Yuan's instructions very well and performed them in front of the camera.
In the snow, Shang Yaner stood up, tilted her head slightly and closed her eyes. The scene was captured by the camera, and Jiang Yuan couldn't help but clench his hands.
Then he smiled brightly and shouted "Cut".
It’s done. Just by looking at the picture, Jiang Yuan feels that both this shot and the movie poster are done at this moment.
The first shot was successfully completed in the snow, and the subsequent shooting began to proceed as planned.
