The shooting progress was not particularly fast, but it went smoothly overall.
Wei Lan's movie is not like Star Wars which has a star-studded cast and it takes a lot of time to schedule and coordinate. Yang Xingyuan and Su Yining both have blank schedules at the moment, so they can devote themselves to the movie.
Wei Lan is a very organized person. He arranged a detailed shooting schedule and arranged the progress according to the acting skills and emotional state of the male and female protagonists. Everything went on in an orderly manner.
In the blink of an eye, two months passed and it was December.
On the 17th, Wei Lan finished the day's filming two hours early and went home with Wei Mingjie.
When I opened the door, Ye Luoxue and Wei Sijia were already waiting in the living room. The place had obviously been decorated with fresh pink roses and champagne.
Ye Luoxue was obviously dressed up, wearing a burgundy haute couture dress and with her hair tied up, looking particularly elegant and charming.
"You're back!" When Ye Luoxue saw the father and daughter standing at the door, a smile immediately appeared on her face.
The dining table was filled with all kinds of delicious food. In the middle was a small cake. On the cake were two little people, a man and a woman, holding hands. Their prototypes were obviously Ye Luoxue and Wei Mingjie. Behind the little people was a heart-shaped arch made of pulled sugar, and in front was a candle shaped like the word "twenty".
Wei Sijia also came back from school today. She was wearing a light pink dress and was lighting the candles on the cake.
This day is Wei Mingjie and Ye Luoxue’s 20th wedding anniversary.
In addition, Wei Lan was found again this year, so the couple planned to celebrate properly. However, they unanimously chose not to go out or hold any banquets, as those were just to please outsiders. If they really took this matter seriously, they didn't want other outsiders to participate.
The dinner was very pleasant. The couple kept talking about interesting things in the past. It was a perfect dinner except that Wei Lan's wish to drink champagne was dashed and he could only drink a glass of milk regretfully.
After dinner, the family came to the wide-screen TV in the living room.
Ye Luoxue's favorability has also reached over 80. Wei Lan sensed that she was feeling very sweet and expectant at the moment. On the other hand, Wei Mingjie was in an awkward and shameful mood. Wei Sijia's expression was also very mysterious and weird, as if she knew what would happen next.
Wei Lan was confused, but he let Ye Luoxue hold him on the sofa, watching TV and waiting for what would happen.
"Ahem..." Wei Mingjie coughed dryly and said, "Let's not do that this year. Let's watch the film "Swordsman" directed by Lanlan! Comedy is very suitable for our family to watch together."
Ye Luoxue just rolled her eyes at him and said nothing.
Wei Lan, who was standing by, was already very curious and couldn't help asking, "Mom, what are you going to see?"
Wei Sijia at the side explained, "It was a movie that my father made back then, and my mother was the leading actress in it."
She was nervous during dinner, and finally took a crucial step at this time - taking the initiative to show goodwill to Wei Lan.
The reason was simple, she felt a little guilty.
She was stimulated that day and thought at first that her parents were playing around by spending money on Wei Lan. She even felt a brief imbalance in her heart. But after leaving home and going through a period of emotional buffering, Wei Sijia, a girl with strong empathy, calmed down and realized that her thoughts were wrong.
Her original intention had always been to compete fairly with Wei Lan, but she had that kind of thought that day. Wasn't she just like the vicious fake daughter in the TV series "The True and False Daughter"?
After all, Wei Mingjie and Ye Luoxue are not bad people, and there are no annoying wealthy family dramas around them. Wei Sijia, who grew up in such an environment, cannot be a bad person even if she has experienced great changes and is temporarily psychologically unbalanced.
Seeing this, Ye Luoxue and Wei Mingjie looked at each other, with joy flashing across their eyes. It would be great if the two daughters could have a harmonious relationship.
Although Wei Lan didn't understand why, he didn't refuse.
"So that's how it is." She smiled at Wei Sijia, then looked at Wei Mingjie and blinked her black glass-like eyes: "Dad, I really want to see it."
Thinking of how Wei Lan's first work became a phenomenal TV series, Wei Mingjie thought about his own movie...
So this is what it feels like to be publicly executed?
But with three pairs of eyes looking at him from his wife and daughter, the minority had to obey the majority, and Wei Mingjie had no room to refuse.
I watched the movie called "Journey to the Stars" with great interest. Twenty minutes in, Wei Lan's eyes had become gradually strange.
She glanced at the reactions of the three people next to her. Ye Luoxue was smiling like a flower, Wei Sijia was holding back her laughter, and Wei Mingjie's old face was slightly red.
If it weren't for this kind of occasion, she would have turned off the movie. After only watching for twenty minutes, she could already foresee that continuing would waste two precious hours of her life.
The equally indescribable chaotic plot is also hard to describe, as is the young Ye Luoxue's glaring, lip-biting acting skills...
However, as a parent-child activity with his family, Wei Lan watched the movie with his family with a kind smile.
After watching the movie, Ye Luoxue once again unintentionally publicly executed Wei Mingjie: "Lanlan, what do you think of the movie your father made? Many people said that this movie was not good back then, but I think it's pretty good! Although it's not that good, it's not that bad either!"
As she spoke, she also showed nostalgia on her face: "Back then, your dad and I met and fell in love because of this movie..."
Ye Luoxue is a typical fan-type audience. She has her own eight-hundred-meter-thick filter. When watching movies or TV shows, she only looks at the people and not the quality of the work.
Wei Sijia at the side showed an 'as expected' expression. Even though she had watched this movie many times since she was a child and had a special feeling for it, she and Ye Luoxue had watched it with great gusto when they were young. However, after learning relevant knowledge in Ai Shang Shu Wu and watching too many excellent works, she could naturally tell that this movie was a standard bad movie.
Hearing this, Wei Mingjie couldn't help but look at Wei Lan with an embarrassed expression.
Wei Lan patted Wei Mingjie's shoulder meaningfully: "I never thought that you were so frivolous when you were young, Dad!"
Wei Mingjie: Make a hole in the ground for me to crawl into!
…
Beijing Theatre Academy, multimedia classroom.
"The audience's sense of humor comes from a sense of superiority... Why is the humor in Swordsman more interesting than other comedy shows?"
Drama, Film and Television Observation and Criticism is a professional elective course for students in the Department of Performance. Wei Sijia chose this course when selecting courses.
The instructor at the podium is a young master's degree student. Every time he teaches a class, he will bring out an excellent and well-known film or TV work and analyze and explain it in detail, which is commonly known as "playing the film".
For this class, he chose "Swordsman 4", which is still quite popular now.
With the free period of the TV series finale, the film source can now be downloaded by members and is open to secondary creation. In the most basic two-dimensional version, the viewing perspective is fixed to the director's perspective, and only some people who need film and television editing may download other perspectives themselves.
"Let's analyze the reasons. First, tell me what you think is funny."
There was a discussion from below, and one student immediately answered: "Hou Lesheng looked at Lu Anning's underwear!"
"Hmm?" The instructor was caught off guard and couldn't help but frowning. "Shit and piss are indeed one of the things that make some people laugh, but that's not what we're going to talk about today. Is there anything else?"
"The killer was injured by his own hidden weapon." Another student answered.
"Hey, not bad!" The instructor's brows relaxed after being tickled, and he explained, "This is the psychological superiority we just talked about. When we see our peers doing stupid things, we feel happy and want to laugh. Similarly, this psychology can be applied to film and television works to create a more conflicting effect."
"The logical relationship between the characters' actions in "Sword 4" is very strict. If you watch carefully, you will find that there is no "clown" character that is often seen in regular comedy dramas. Even Hou Lesheng has his own cleverness and successfully deceived Lu Anning to make a fake secret book."
"Why do we do this? One reason is to make the plot reasonable, but the more important reason is that we can't get any sense of superiority from watching idiots doing stupid things. Only when people who look better than us ordinary people do stupid things, they are more likely to gain our love and laughter..."
The instructor was analyzing different parts of the TV series, and Wei Sijia was listening very carefully.
After analyzing it from a professional perspective, she discovered that this TV series, which she once thought had the advantage of a compact and funny plot, actually contained so many details and techniques.
The instructor then went on to analyze the use of transition techniques, camera techniques, long shots, etc. in the play and the effects they produced.
The more Wei Sijia listened, the more she realized that talent really cannot be hidden.
Wei Lan is amazing! This is her first work!
Thinking of this, Wei Sijia's mind suddenly changed. If Wei Lan's talent is genetic, then why is it that Wei Mingjie's "Star Dream Journey" is also a debut work... ?
While she was thinking, the instructor had already started assigning homework:
"Everyone, please analyze the character growth arc of Lu Anning, the protagonist of this TV series."
Wei Sijia suddenly came to her senses and saw that the classmates around her took out their notebooks and started writing. Some of them who were scratching their heads also took out their own notebooks.
Character growth arc?
Lu Anning's growth? Damn, I missed a section of the class just now!
Suddenly, Wei Sijia had an idea. She took out her cell phone as if to look up information like other classmates, but in fact she opened WeChat and found a profile picture of a little panda in her address book.
'Jianghu Help! What is Lu Anning's character development arc?'
Putting down the phone, Wei Sijia felt a little nervous. She thought about it and wrote down two clichés in her notes.
After a while, the phone vibrated and the screen lit up. Wei Sijia quickly picked up the phone and opened the dialog box.
Seeing the contents, Wei Sijia smiled and copied it into her notebook.
Ten minutes later, the tutor walked down and saw Wei Sijia, who had put down her pen and looked confident, and reached out to take the notebook on her desk.
"Lu Anning has realized that the essence of fighting in the martial arts world is nothing more than fame and fortune. His insistence on justice is pale and powerless. His philosophy is no longer suitable for the current martial arts world. It is better for him to go home and farm and train the next generation to enter the government."
The instructor frowned and said, "Student, didn't you watch this TV series carefully? How could the screenwriter think this way?"
Wei Sijia: “?”
"Lu An Ning proved Qing Bai and completed his friend's request. The ending is when his thoughts are most clear. He retired to the countryside, which clearly shows that he is indifferent to fame and fortune. How could it be a helpless act? The truth that the screenwriter wants to express is on the next level, and you are still on the first level..." After saying that, he shook his head and left.
Wei Sijia opened the red panda avatar and typed.
Wei Lan, who was far away in the Wei family villa, just picked up his mobile phone and saw two new messages sent by Wei Sijia.
'Are you really Wei Lan?'
'Our instructor said your solution is at the first level, and he is now at the second level.'
Wei Lan: ???
