《"Return to Youth" is a relatively heartwarming film.
A film that perfectly integrates themes such as family, friendship, love, dreams, loneliness, and death.
The biggest innovation in the plot of the movie is the reverse growth of the male protagonist.
But also because of this, the movie provides a different perspective on life.
The film begins with a story about a watchmaker.
During the war, his son joined the army.
After the war.
Unfortunately, his son died in a foreign country.
The clockmaker was making a wall clock for a railway station. He later completed it, but the clock ran backwards.
The clockmaker did it on purpose.
Because he thought that maybe those children who died in the war could go home.
Go home to farm, work, and have children.
Maybe his son can come back too.
Coincidentally, this is how the hero's life goes backwards.
Most people still prefer happy endings to tragedy.
Therefore, it is not difficult to understand that the Oscar judges favored"Slumdog Millionaire" over"Rejuvenation".》
So the former swept this year's Oscars, but the latter only won a consolation prize for Best Visual Effects.
But this does not affect Chen Ci's desire to film it.
The movie uses reverse chronological order in the name of memory.
The male protagonist was abandoned by his father as an ominous"monster" when he was born. A kind-hearted girl adopted him and named him.
She believed this was a miracle given to her by God.
In fact.
The male protagonist is indeed a miracle.
Under the prayer of the priest, he stood up from the wheelchair.
The power of life made him forget the doctor's prediction that he would soon die.
Later, the male protagonist met many people.
An old lady whose name he couldn't remember taught him how to play the piano and told him that playing the piano is not about how well you play, but how you feel about what you play.
It's really about playing music for yourself.
When the male protagonist meets the female protagonist for the first time.
She was still an innocent little girl, and he was a wrinkled little boy who looked like he was 70 years old.
The heroine said that he was different from all the people she had ever met.
The male protagonist replied aggrievedly that he was not as old as he appeared.
A strange encounter like love at first sight, like a fate bound by fate in a previous life.
He loves her and she loves him.
It's just that they are still too young and don't know how to protect love.
So we kept meeting and missing each other, just like countless ordinary men and women in the world.
He also met different women.
The prostitute who made him lose his virginity, the dewy lover who was older than him, and the swimming general.
But she was a natural dancer, enjoying a luxurious life full of endless applause, flowers and honors, enjoying what she wishfully thought belonged to her. That kind of happiness.
The happiest time in the film is the period when the 260 years of their lives overlap most closely.
When he and she met again in their late teens, their old love rekindled and got out of hand.
He took her on a boat trip along the coast, and they married and had children.
Like every pair of inseparable lovers.
In front of the mirror in the dance studio, the 49-year-old male protagonist hugged the 43-year-old female protagonist and said softly:
I want to remember how we look now.
At that moment the heroine was silent.
Because in the future, her skin will become old and saggy.
And he would have pimples all over his face.
They will never be as close as they are now, and time will overturn everything. finally.
The hero still cruelly abandoned his wife and daughter and secretly left before dawn.
He went to live alone somewhere else.
He couldn't bear it and couldn't accompany them to their old age.
He waited until his daughter could not remember him and left.
Not wanting her to go through what they went through again.
Reunion again.
The heroine is already a middle-aged woman with an old appearance, but he is getting younger and younger, becoming a sunny young boy.
Why do you want to come back? She sighed helplessly.
Maybe he just came back to see how they were doing.
She had remarried and her life had returned to peace. She introduced him to her husband and daughter as a distant relative.
Maybe he really shouldn't have come back, he made her fall for her again.
The love of her life, how could she forget him?
Later later.
The plot is as imagined. As time goes by, the heroine has become a dignified old woman.
The male protagonist turned back into a little boy.
It's just that he has lost his memory and no longer remembers her appearance, her name, or even their everlasting love.
Later, he died peacefully in her arms as an infant.
Last minute.
The moment their eyes met.
Maybe each other read something.
On the hospital bed.
The heroines let their daughters read the hero's diary.
The secret that had been hidden for decades was revealed.
When I finished reading, my daughter was in tears.
And she quietly passed away before the storm came.
A simple town under Luzhou City.
The buildings here are relatively dilapidated.
The crew needs to travel 30 kilometers every day to check into a hotel in the city.
Because there is not even a decent hotel in the town. at this time.
On set.
Chen Xi is checking the camera.
The first scene is between Liu Yifei's mother (Adef) and her daughter.
Liu Yifei will play two roles this time.
The young heroine and the daughter of the hero and heroine.
And the first scene is in the ward.
The heroine and her daughter narrate this long-lasting past event.
After checking the lens.
Chen Ci got up and went to the makeup artist and found Liu Xiaoli who was doing makeup.
"Teacher Xiaoli, are you sure you won’t delete these scenes?"
It's strange to say...
These paragraphs require close contact with him.
There is also a section on the bed...
It's not a passionate scene.
But everyday couples fight in bed...
But he needed Liu Xiaoli to lie on his back wearing a vest...
And a kiss on the face...
Doesn't it really matter?
Submission expresses doubt...
"Um..."
Liu Xiaoli still nodded.
It looked peaceful.
But in fact...Only she knows the inner unrest.
Chen Xi saw this and said nothing more.
Turn to Liu Yifei's side.
Compared with Liu Xiaoli's costume, she is slightly simpler. In order to fit the image of her daughter, she needs to be painted slightly older. to be honest...
The old man and this fool seemed to be incompatible with each other.
But fortunately, my daughter doesn’t have many scenes.
It doesn't matter if she pushes him a little bit.
Twenty minutes later.
The statement came to the monitor.
The crew of the ward scene has already arranged the scene.
Chen Xi moved the monitor to a place outside the door.
Prepare to shoot using three lenses that switch back and forth.
Because the beginning and end of the film are both in the same scene, with the same mother and daughter characters. therefore...
In order to avoid wasting time, we planned to shoot the beginning and end of the film together.
This is also a commonly used method by the crew.
After all, it’s very inefficient to switch from one shot to another, and the actor’s condition is also prone to fluctuations.
There are very few films that really follow the order of the film and follow the rules.
"I...I'm a little nervous."
Chen Ci was smoking outside.
Liu Xiaoli suddenly appeared behind him.
Nervous?
Chen Ci turned around and looked at her who had put on makeup and transformed into an old woman but still had an outstanding temperament. She secretly sighed that this role was for him to film a movie until now...
The most satisfying casting choice!
Such a satisfying casting!
Of course she cannot be nervous during her speech!
Just kidding!
The role is perfect, and if the performance is also perfect, it can win the Oscar!
You must know that"Rejuvenation" unfortunately failed at the Academy Awards that year.
The reason is that it is not as popular as"Slumdog Millionaire".
But that was a few years later.
Now he has filmed this film ahead of schedule. Did he encounter it at the Oscars? next year...
Think about the speech?
Looks like"Brokeback Mountain"?
The one shot by Li Yin?
Tsk.
No pressure.
Think of this.
Chen Ci immediately patted her on the shoulder:"Take your time, our crew is not short of money, and we can make films at will."
Liu Xiaoli was a little confused by his sudden appearance.
"you...Are you OK?"
"Oh~it’s okay. Chen
Ci recovered his mind and said seriously:"It doesn't matter. I'll give you time to adapt. Don't be in a hurry.""
"That...Will it delay the filming process?"
"meeting"
"......"
"But it doesn’t matter, if you waste another day, everyone will make more money."
Chen Ci held a cigarette in his mouth and smiled brightly.
Liu Xiaoli was slightly dazed, as if she had been stabbed and couldn't open her eyes.
Ten minutes later, all units were in place.
As the sound of the clap fell, the first scene of"Return to Youth" was filmed for the first time. Begin.
Make your speech. Sit in front of the monitor.
Frown slightly.
Unnatural....(If you want to read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
Still a little nervous.
Maybe it's because she hasn't filmed for a long time, but Liu Xiaoli's performance was too heavy.
But Xiaohanhan's performance was pretty good.
He frowned throughout the speech, but did not stop.
Wait for the shooting to end.
He just recovered as before and comforted with a smile:"It's good. Let's take a rest and let's do it again."
Liu Xiaoli looked sad.
Chen Ci immediately went over to help her mentally build up.
PUA for short
"I feel...It’s hard to get into character."
Liu Xiaoli said what she was thinking.
Chen Ci touched his chin:"What's the reason? Is it because you haven’t filmed for a long time or for other reasons?"
Liu Xiaoli shook her head.
Chen Ci looked at Liu Yifei, who was naturally stunned, and wondered whether the mother and daughter were too familiar with each other?
Are they a little uncomfortable with the play?
"Then let’s see it again"
"good..." ten minutes later.
The result remains the same.
Chen Xi decisively stopped writing, choosing to let Xiao Hanhan rest, and he went into battle in person.[]
For a while.
The crew began to be very busy again.
Change of scene.
The pretense needs to be changed.
Everything needs to be replaced.
Liu Xiaoli's face was filled with self-blame.
Liu Yifei, this idiot, is still putting pressure on me
"Mom, luckily the director is Xiao Chen, otherwise you would definitely be scolded!
Chen Ci pushed her head away:"Go drink your milk tea.""
Liu Yifei immediately pouted, picked up the straw and poked the black pearl inside.
It was as if the pearl was the face of her speech.
"Yes or no...Sorry for causing trouble for you..."
"Nothing."
To be honest.
If I had known about this situation before turning on the film, I would have chosen to change the actors.
But now... must be impossible
"or..."
"Stop it."
Chen Ci looked at her hesitant expression and immediately rolled his eyes:"Sister Xiaoli, you can't back out now."
As he said this, he handed over a revised script.
"This is a revised script for you. The game has changed. For the scene later, you can see which version you are more comfortable with, and you will act according to that version."
"Change it..."
"Well, the changes are not big, just that some intimate scenes have been deleted. This scene is not about you dancing on the stairs, I am lying on the railing watching it. In the old version, you expressed your love and asked for a kiss, but I refused. In this version, it is behind. plot......"
Liu Xiaoli listened quietly.
Wait until the statement is finished.
Her eyes twinkled slightly
"I...let me see. Chen
Ci said"Yes" and was about to leave. Then he thought of something, turned around and said with a smile:"Sister Xiaoli, please don't put on makeup. The heroine is less than 30 years old now, so she is just right.""
Liu Xiaoli was stunned for a moment. She stared at his back.
Until Liu Yifei came to her side holding milk tea and said with a smile:"Hey, Xiao Chen is praising his mother, I heard it!"
Liu Xiaoli finally came to her senses.
She bit her lip.
Her fair and delicate jade hands, like a girl, were intertwined.
It was obvious that...
At this moment, her heart was not as calm as it seemed.
Because this scene is in the evening.
It will take a while.
Chen Ci took the camera and went to shoot some outdoor scenes.
When you come back.
It's completely dark.
As a result, problems arose.
There are no street lights in this damn town. no way.
The lighting team started working one after another.
By the time the"street lights" were arranged and the scene was rearranged, the time had come to 8:00.
She put on her shirt.
Made...Luzhou is already very cold in November, especially at night and in the morning.
Shivering with cold.
But looking at Liu Xiaoli wearing a long skirt...
He immediately felt calm.
With the sound of slapping the board.
The shooting officially started.
On the stairs.
Liu Xiaoli turned her back to her speech and read her lines according to the script.
The speech was lying on the railing.
Talk to her. to be honest...
The statement was quite surprising.
Is it really a conflict between mother and daughter?
Just this paragraph...
Liu Xiaoli's performance is very good and natural....
And then she danced down.
He almost couldn't help but clap his hands after making his speech.
As expected of the role he chose!
Perfect!
According to the newly revised script, as Liu Xiaoli walked in high heels, he had to walk into the darkness alone.
Because the male protagonist does not have the courage to accept the female protagonist's love at this time.
The shackles in his heart were still binding him.
However...
What surprised Chen Ci.
Liu Xiaoli didn't act according to the changed script at all...
Instead, he acted according to the original script! no way...
Now that everything is like this, Chen Xi can only cooperate.
You can’t suffer the cold in vain, right?
So when Liu Xiaoli tried to kiss him behind him, Chen Ci turned his face slightly.
Finally letting her kiss her face.
This is also written in the script. to be honest...
Feeling the touch of warm lips on your face.
Statement of inner collapse...
In particular, I also noticed Liu Yifei's nymphomaniac look with a starry face.
He was really numb.
Are we just saying?
Are you talking about CP here?
In fact.
It’s not just Liu Yifei.
The rest of the crew were also stumbling!
This shot was so touching...
Even without BGM...
It doesn't affect the look and feel at all.
It is different from the sweetness of domestic movies.
This is a small and refreshing plot...More beautiful.
Especially the emotion in Teacher Xiaoli’s eyes...
They are completely different from the beginning!
All the staff on the set were stunned!
And the plot continues here.
After the male protagonist avoided the female protagonist’s request for a kiss.
The heroine played by Liu Xiaoli will come to him and gaze lovingly with him.
Under the dim street lights.
Chen Ci lowered his head slightly and told the truth....
Shocked, damn!
Mother-in-law, this doesn’t look like acting at all! damn it?
Was he playing him in the beginning?
This affectionate look...
My Liu Xiaoli is so awesome...
