Chapter 422 [On-screen couples, word of mouth is overwhelming]
Liang Kun and Son Ye-jin sat together and watched the movie from another perspective.
He understood the difference between being an actor and watching his own movies and ordinary audiences when watching movies. Actors know how the movies were shot, and they can't help but think about what happened during the shooting, and their sense of substitution is not that strong.
They would chat in a low voice from time to time.
Son Ye-jin: "Why didn't I notice this at that time? My expression was so stupid. If I had to deal with this place in a different way, it might be much better... Your performance is much better than mine."
Liang Kun: "Oh, I was obviously not excited enough here. Why did I use this shot? I remembered taking several shots at that time, and there were better than this one."
Son Ye-jin: "You look taller than usual in the movie. I am almost a middle school student. The audience must think so."
"You think too much, our height is very good." Liang Kun said with a smile. If Sun Ye-jin of 165CM is a middle school student, Ayumi Hamasaki will definitely be a primary school student when "Very Perfect" is released.
Liang Kun has identified many problems in the movie, abused slow motion, shot close-ups with her face, switched too much shooting angle when the starring actors were talking, etc. Lee Jae-han used the movie as an MV, which has many shortcomings. The audience thinks that it is good, which is directly related to the good acting skills of the two starring actors and the proper details. If it is an ordinary actor, the movie may be over.
If the actor only has three expressions, smile, frown, and stare, the director also takes a lot of close-ups of faces, which is purely self-destructive.
The advantages of this shooting are also very obvious, with beautiful pictures and convenient for actors to show off their acting skills.
Lee Jae-han used a lot of shooting skills, allowing Liang Kun to learn a lot from the crew. When filming "Very Perfect", he made many suggestions and was adopted by Zhang Guorong. The picture was really beautiful.
Now Liang Kun's "film and TV drama directing" skill has been upgraded to 66% of D-level. He doesn't understand how to shoot action scenes at all. He has learned to shoot literary scenes and knows how to arrange a lot of dialogues. It's not boring.
Every movie will have dialogue scenes, which is an important way to show the relationship between characters. However, once the dialogue is too dense, it will slow down the pace of the movie. How to shoot interesting and attractive dialogue scenes, express the emotions of the characters, and convey different information content to the audience is something that a director must learn.
Liang Kun now understands what "axis" is and can arrange the shooting camera position in the correct way.
The axis refers to an imaginary straight line or curve formed by the actor's line of sight, movement direction and the relationship between different objects. In order to ensure the relatively stable position and unified movement direction of the object being represented in the film and television screen space, the director should set the camera position or arrange the movement in one area on the axis. This is the "axis principle" that must be followed when dealing with the relationship between scenery and lens movement.
At the same time, when shooting scenes of two-person conversations, the forward and reverse cameras are mostly used. The forward and reverse cameras refer to the scenes that switch the characters to each other when two people face each other. The general scene is "shoulder-over", that is, the front of the person who is facing away from the camera is taken to the front of the opponent, which is also called the shoulder shot of the shoulder. It is also called the shoulder shot. It is used to prompt the existence of the character and increase the authenticity of the story.
When it is necessary to express a strong emotion or indicate that the relationship between the two people is strengthened, several close-up shots without shoulders are often switched to be inserted as a supplement to the combination of forward and reverse.
Lee Jae-han did a great job in this regard, such as the scene where Cheol-soo saw Soo-jin's family. Soo-jin's family sat with her back to the camera. At this time, the picture turned into an internal counterattack, and Cheol-soo was the only one in the bright spot of the picture, and the characters were very prominent.
Light and shadow are one of the techniques for showing characters in visual language. The ultimate contrast of light establishes different inner states and power differences in characters. A close-up allows the audience to see Cheol-soo's inner uneasiness and creates a tense atmosphere.
Liang Kun found that after he obtained the directorial skills, he could tell the quality of the movie, and felt uncomfortable when he saw defective clips. This is the auxiliary function of skill training.
He understood the importance of "final editing rights" and why directors want to take editing rights. The quality of a movie is very important to the editing. He wants to be a famous director in Hollywood, which will have great resistance. If he is not careful, he will take the blame.
There are many Hollywood blockbusters that were edited and destroyed. The most famous one is the "Dynasty of the Heavenly Kingdom" by the great director Ridley Scott. Because Fox's boss thought that the movies edited by Ridley were too long, people cut the 193-minute movie into 144 minutes, and directly cut the classics into garbage. 15 years later, this movie counterattacked and became a classic film in film history.
There is also "Alien 3". Director David Finch had no control over the set during filming, and constantly had friction with the producers. He even withdrew from the director's cut without even participating in the production. Not only did David Finch not admit that the film was his own work, he once threatened: "Many people hate "Alien 3", but no one hates it more than me."
Liang Kun will definitely find a way to grasp the editing rights as a director in the future. It is too early for him to think about these things and have never been an actor in Hollywood. Moreover, he has no connections and it is difficult to release even if he makes a movie.
After the film screening, the main creators came on stage together and received warm applause.
No audience left early, and they all thought the movie was very good and moved.
The reporters asked a lot of questions, and everyone thought of some words in advance and answered them smoothly.
Someone asked Liang Kun if he would come to Korea to film in the future. He replied that he would consider it if there was a good script.
In his impression, there are many high-box movies in South Korea, but they are only popular in Korea and can't do it abroad. For example, "Pirates" starring Son Ye-jin, a group of bandits went into the sea. There is also "Train to Busan" that knows that there is a cauldron in the mountains, but they tend to go to Busan.
Liang Kun doesn’t want to act in a Korean movie with a good theme, so he might as well be a director and shoot in Hollywood. Maybe he will have better results.
For example, "Parasite" directed by Bong Joon-ho won the Palm Award for the main competition unit of the Cannes Film Festival in 2019 and was nominated for the Oscar. In the end, the movie won the Oscar without Liang Kun, and he was reborn at that time.
The reporter asked Liang Kun to comment on Sun Yezhen.
He thought for a while and smiled, "She is my goddess, sometimes sexy, sometimes cute, sometimes cute, sometimes gentle, and extremely beautiful. I am very much looking forward to working with her again."
The audience was in an uproar, and some fans screamed excitedly. Liang Kun's words sounded like confession. However, when the reporter asked if the two were in a romantic relationship, they denied it together, saying that they were just good friends.
Fans think it’s good to be “good friends”, at least they can be seen playing couples in the future.
Son Ye-jin also commented on Liang Kun. "He is the handsomest and best-acting actor I have ever worked with. He has a fascinating temperament, so I can easily get into the role when filming. I feel that this is the best I have ever played."
The reporter asked: "Everyone can see that you are very immersed in the play. Are you out of the play now?"
Son Ye-jin covered her mouth and laughed, and Lee Jae-han helped answer the question. "They got into the show as soon as they entered the camera, and they got out of the show as soon as they appeared. They started to joke. It was very magical, and everyone in the crew knew it."
The first night of the movie was released, and many couples came to watch it. At the end, many girls cried loudly, and the man comforted him, and the relationship between the two progressed.
Online, people who watched this movie left messages to express their thoughts.
"The best romance film this year is released. The story is a bit cliché, but the protagonist is played very well. Liang Kun Oppa did not use dubbing and starred in the original soundtrack. He looks like a Korean. I think he should be elected as the best actor."
"No one can compare with Liang Kun, a male actor born in the 1980s. He was not a film and television academy. He was able to reach this level by himself. It's so powerful. I'm so sorry that he turned down "Full House", otherwise the drama would definitely be more exciting. He was handsomer than Rain. Son Ye-jin also performed well, and the scene at the wedding was beautiful to a new level in his career."
"If you want to get out of singleness, the best choice is to ask a girl to watch this movie, and then the two of them go to the haunted house together and it will be almost done. This is my experience, I will share it with everyone."
"Are they really not couples in reality? Their love in the movie is revealed from the screen. The wedding photos are classic and you can see them happy at first glance. And at the premiere, they look very compatible, and they look at each other's eyes full of affection."
"I wonder if the movie starring Oppa and Ayumi Hamasaki will be introduced in China? I guess that movie will be very exciting. It's a bit regrettable that Oppa didn't sing in this movie."
Korean film companies hope that Liang Kun can write a song for the film and end the film, but he refused. Korean is only a small language, and it doesn't matter if he sings Korean songs. Even if he conquered all Koreans, he only had 50 million yuan. He didn't even want to release a Chinese album again, so what kind of Korean songs were singing?
Liang Kun sang the Korean version of "Flowers of Snow" before because he participated in the China-Korean Song Festival. After the China-Korean Song Festival, he was invited twice, but he was no longer interested in participating. The attention was too low, so big names were too lazy to participate.
Korean film critics gave this film unanimous praise, praising the acting skills of the male and female protagonists, and the movie has a huge reputation.
"Liang Kun's acting skills are simply unmistakable. He cried heartbrokenly when he saw the letter left by the heroine, which was too contagious. This is not the best. When the heroine was incontinent, he took off her clothes to wipe her body. Two bean-sized tears flew out. This detail made people cry. He was so involved that he didn't need time to brew emotions."
"The two of them completely conquered the audience. The film describes the different views of love between men and women. Soo Jin loves boldly and strongly, and Cheol-soo loves implicitly and deeply. At the beginning, Cheol-soo was reserved because he was too inferior and unwilling to let Soo Jin understand his past. This is understandable. Everyone has inferiority in the face of love. It is Soo Jin's gentleness and love that melted him. If I could love such a girl to the core."
Three days after the movie gained a good reputation, the box office also exploded...
