"Later Us" exposed the director’s special Rene Liu studio in every possible way.
1905 movie network news Directed by Rene Liu, supervised by Zhang Yibai, and starring Jing Bo Ran, Zhou Dongyu and Tian Zhuangzhuang, the film will be released on April 28th, and it will compete in May 1st. As Rene Liu’s directorial debut, The Later Us attracts increasing attention. On April 22nd, the film released a special video of director Rene Liu for nearly 3 minutes, which not only promoted the only love movie in May 1st, but also gave Rene Liu fans a glimpse of her hard work.
In many people’s minds, Rene Liu is a goddess. Rene Liu, who stubbornly sings, acts seriously and lives in a low profile, always carries the aura of a goddess, and always seems out of reach. But in this special edition, we can see that Rene Liu is working in the snow at -30℃, and even his eyelashes are covered with ice. She cares about the staff all the time, and she does everything for the crew, even debugging the prop light bulbs. How much did Rene Liu pay for this film? This special edition has only revealed a part for everyone.
As an actor, Rene Liu is already familiar to us; As a director, Rene Liu is still a stranger to us. Previously, Mayday re-arranged the golden song "Later Us" and dedicated it to Rene Liu as the film’s famous song. There are many pictures of Rene Liu’s on-the-spot work in the MV, and in this special edition, there are more hardships when Rene Liu works.
As a director, Rene Liu is absolutely hands-on, personally performing and demonstrating for the actors, which is natural for Rene Liu. In other aspects, from how wet Zhou Dongyu’s hair is, the texture of chairs in Internet cafes, to the placement of camera seats, she will constantly communicate with the photography director and production designer. There is even a picture of her personally debugging the prop light bulb in the special edition; Because Zhou Dongyu’s crying scene was to be filmed, Rene Liu personally helped Zhou Dongyu to make eye shadow, so as to ensure that the crying scene later would not burn the eye shadow — — These details make people pay homage to Rene Liu.
Running seems to be one of the most common states of Rene Liu on the set. Rene Liu, wearing thick clothes, stumbled across the platform in the heavy snow; In fact, everyone doesn’t know that director Rene Liu had an operation on her knee, which made her unable to run vigorously so as not to increase the load on her knee. Even so, he still ran in small steps all the way, telling stories and communicating with actors, and trying to achieve the desired effect. Sometimes, Rene Liu will sit behind the monitor, staring at the monitor closely, and communicate with the master from time to time. In the words of the staff, Rene Liu "either looks behind the monitor or tells a play in the screen of the monitor", and her intentions can really be seen through this special edition.
"I am most worried about whether the staff can bear the cold outside, because (now) it is -30℃." Rene Liu, who said this, looked anxiously at all the staff members who were extremely bloated. She didn’t notice at all that her eyelashes were covered with ice flowers.
Jing Bo Ran and Zhou Dongyu praised Rene Liu’s warm heart in the special edition. Jing Bo Ran said, "I think it’s a very happy thing to cooperate with the director from the point of view of the actress, because she really loves the actress.". With the picture is Rene Liu is Jing Bo Ran scarf, and in a coquetry way to appease him, while saying "good good". There is also a picture of Rene Liu taking care of Zhou Dongyu in the special edition: putting two down waistcoats on Zhou Dongyu and carefully buttoning her up. In the film, Tian Zhuangzhuang, who plays the role of seeing her father, looks a little swollen in front of the camera, and she will also check with the photography director to see if she can change the camera.
Careful Zhou Dongyu also observed that Rene Liu is not only concerned about the leading role, but also about the crew. There is a child actor at the scene, and Rene Liu will specifically tell the dresser to "put a sock on him first, and we will ask you to take it off when you want to shoot"; The crew was rushing to work, and Rene Liu was afraid that everyone would be hungry, so he quietly took out cookies and distributed them to the crew to replenish energy. Zhou Dongyu couldn’t help admiring that "she will really give you a lot of touches from the nuances to the big places".
We always talk about Do not forget your initiative mind. For Rene Liu, her initial intention was to make a romantic film.
"I wrote a story in my previous book called" Going Home for the New Year ". It is about a man and a woman working in a big city. Every year when they go back, they have to face the expectations of their families. Every year, they have new situations, such as just being together or not, and their work is not smooth. But whether they live well or not, they will behave well when they go back. Even if two people are not together, they will be too lazy to explain to their families and pretend to be together. In fact, the family members all saw it, so the white lies on both sides began. So there is love and affection in it. Later, when I made this movie, I adapted this story. In fact, I want to talk about the process and regret of a couple of men and women for ten years. "
The earliest version was about two young people leaving their hometown to work in other places, but after producer Zhang Yibai gave the concept of drifting north, Rene Liu began to lead the screenwriter to adjust his direction again. In this process, she was constantly asked to be a director, but she refused, on the grounds that "those stories are very good and others will shoot better than me." I think I still have to shoot what I believe, so in the end I adapted a story from my book. "
Therefore, in Later Us, the audience can definitely touch Rene Liu’s initial heart. "It’s just my style, Rene Liu’s style, and I just want to (shoot) a movie that will move you.".
Tian Zhuangzhuang plays Lin Jianqing’s father in this film. As a representative of the fifth generation directors, his evaluation is particularly convincing: "Rene Liu may have been observing the work as a director for a long time, otherwise she wouldn’t have done so well. Then she did a very detailed research on each character. " The communication between Rene Liu and Tian Zhuangzhuang is also particularly in place. Rene Liu told him to "speak a little slower" and "lower when the head is low". They only need such a few simple sentences to achieve a very tacit understanding.
Being a director for the first time, Rene Liu asked herself to be very focused. Therefore, she asked that "there are good people working with me in every professional field". The photography director she worked with this time is Li Pingbin, who is known as the "poet of light and shadow". He has won the best photography award of the Golden Horse Award for Taiwanese films for seven times, and won technical awards at Cannes Film Festival and Berlin Film Festival respectively. The films directed by producer Zhang Yibai frequently set new box office records for China romantic films; In addition, recording engineer Shiang-Chu Tang, modeling director Dora Ng and production designer Zhai Tao are all outstanding in the industry.
Rene Liu’s mentor Zhang Aijia also appeared in the special edition. Zhang Aijia specially came to visit the class and gave Rene Liu a lot of advice and help.
Rene Liu is very simple. "What I want to do most is to let everyone see ourselves in different ways", but Rene Liu is also ambitious, because she hopes that after watching Later Us, "listening to my song will make you feel that it is not Rene Liu’s song, it is your song; Look at my movie, I hope it’s not my movie, you see yourself in it. "
