Extra 3
In terms of professional awards, except for some small awards, the only ones that are valuable are Baihua and Golden Rooster.
In terms of box office and commercial value, Miss Sister has almost reached the Chinese ceiling.
However, Cheng Yu'an still has to say that his wife's acting talent is really average.
In fact, there is a very cruel saying in the art field.
This is what Cheng Yu'an couldn't bear to tell his students:
"Some things just don't require hard work."
The young lady’s hard work and professional attitude are obvious to all, both within the industry and fans outside the industry.
No one can say that Liu Yifei has a bad attitude.
My wife stated many years ago that her ideal is to "leave her name in film history", and she has been working hard to do so.
However, average talent is not hopeless.
Liu Yifei, who was 32 years old before, had very strong traces of her performance. Senior audiences and sensible career fans will clearly see that Liu Yifei is acting.
Of course, she is very skilled and performs well, and the audience buys into it, otherwise she would not be able to get such a high box office.
Before the age of 32, Liu Yifei had sufficient theoretical knowledge and desk work, but she could not fully convey what she wanted to express to the camera and the audience through her performance.
After the age of 32, especially after giving birth to her second child, she had an epiphany!
She realized something inexplicable.
She began to know how to express herself.
Although she has not fully digested what she has learned yet, Cheng Yu'an is happy to see that she is indeed slowly changing, and she is making step by step progress towards the kind of actor she wants to be.
Especially during the filming of "Mrs. Hunan".
The film had a fateful run and had a hard time getting off the ground.
But once again watching his wife's performance in front of the monitor, the transformation visible to the naked eye was enough to surprise Cheng Yuan and other crew members.
She is really different.
"Mrs. Xiang" has condensed a lot of Cheng Yu'an's hard work. This film is not only about the growth and transformation of a dancer, but also Cheng Yu'an's reflections on his twenty years of experience in the industry and his views on the entire world.
Liu Yifei gave the result she wanted.
This also makes Cheng Yuan believe that the 33-year-old Liu Yifei may really be able to complete the subsequent "Li Qingzhao" with more ups and downs in the character's experience and more complex emotions.
"Mrs. Hunan" was completed in August. During the four months of filming, film selectors and relevant directors from the three major film festivals visited the crew no less than ten times.
Everyone wants to win "Mrs. Hunan" to participate in the exhibition.
In the end, perhaps because of his collecting habit, Cheng Yuan chose Berlin, which he had never been to before.
After finishing "Mrs. Xiang", the couple entered the crew of "The Wandering Earth 2" with deep guilt for their second child.
The movie has been confirmed to start filming in the Oriental Film Capital in October.
The heroine Liu Yifei will undergo 2 months of emergency action training, and Cheng Yu'an will be responsible for the production and related co-ordination work, as well as the post-production of "Mrs. Hunan" and the preparation of "Li Qingzhao".
The second child was also taken to Qingdao by the confinement nanny and was taken care of by the couple.
OK.
Cheng Yu'an disagrees with later generations' evaluation of Guo Fan as the "Alchemy Master" and "Saibo Daji".
Because this shows that the industrialization of domestic films is in a mess.
If a heavy industry movie requires the director to "beg for money" and "coax" sponsors, it only shows how poorly prepared the crew is.
….
Fortunately, with the help of Cheng Yu'an this time, the preparation and crew management of "The Wandering Earth 2" went very smoothly, and the cooperation between various departments was also very smooth.
In order to ensure Liu Yifei's role, the script was revised several times, and the length of the whole play was finally set at 145 minutes, reducing the scenes that originally belonged to Tu Hengyu and Ma Zhao - but the two should perform a lot, but they are just more refined.
Technically, Guo Fan boldly abandoned 3D, which was also affirmed by Cheng Yuan.
3D is sometimes not the best way to express things.
But the high specifications of 4k are retained.
Uncle Da's death forced Guo Fan to use face-swapping to film his scenes - the face-swapping effect of Uncle Da's in the original film was very bad.
Cheng Yu'an found an old actor for Guo Fan whose body shape and face were similar to Uncle Da's, and then used face-swapping technology to replace Uncle Da's facial features.
This technology was used in both "Captain America" and "Fast Seven".
The effect is better and the cost is higher.
Liu Yifei has selfish motives. She hopes that Guo Fan can film her scenes in the series and let her finish filming as soon as possible, so that she can go home and take care of her children early.
Guo Fan also promised to do so.
"What are you looking at?" Cheng Yu'an returned to the hotel room at night. His son was not asleep yet. He was lying in the cradle with his eyes open, spitting and playing with him. He was not crying or fussing.
Liu Yifei is reading the script.
"I saw a good show." Liu Yifei shook the book in her hand, "A rare type."
"Want to act?" Cheng Yu'an basically doesn't interfere with his wife's work now. At her level, she can basically take on roles as she pleases. She can act in whatever role she wants. If there is no script, she can organize and play by herself. "It doesn't mean that I need to spend more time with her.
Two children?"
"Let's see." Liu Yifei was also very confused. She really liked the script. "I can take care of the children and film at the same time."
A very strong and competitive woman.
Cheng Yu'an ignored her and squatted beside the cradle to tease his son.
Seeing that her husband didn't answer anything, Liu Yifei said to herself: "But this script is really good. I got it from Dali. It's a fresh pastoral drama and it's very healing."
Cheng Yu'an looked at his son and said, "You can act if you want. We are an old married couple. I don't object to your kissing scene. Hey," Cheng Yu'an felt something was wrong, "Pastoral drama?"
"Yes, TV series." Liu Yifei saw her husband's strange expression and smiled, "I didn't say I wouldn't accept TV series."
As the mask issue continues to rage, it becomes increasingly difficult to make movies, but the TV drama market is becoming more and more prosperous. In the past two years, various platforms have released several hit movies.
Cheng Yu'an is not worried that the TV series will lower Liu Yifei's popularity: "If you think it's good, then act in it."
"I'll look at the script again and reply to the director in a few days." The more Liu Yifei read this book, the more she liked it.
What Liu Yifei didn't tell her husband was that since the book was handed to Liu Yifei, the director and screenwriter began to fight against her.
I was bombarded with phone calls and text messages every day, vowing to win over Liu Yifei: "You can only play the role of Xu Hongdou. Among actresses in the country, I can't find anyone who is more suitable for Xu Hongdou than you."
"I won't turn on the phone if you don't come."
"Dali gave me a death order and you must act!"
"If you don't agree, I will come to Qingdao with the producer and screenwriter. We won't leave until you nod."
The shameless character must be played by Liu Yifei.
On the second day after "The Wandering Earth 2" was launched, Liu Yifei replied to the crew and confirmed that she would play the role of Xu Hongdou in "Where the Wind Is Going".
The crew immediately announced the casting news: "Liu Yifei will star in a TV series again after 10 years. Hello, Xu Hongdou."
The feeling that came suddenly was gone this time.
Chapter completed!
