The production tidbits of the film "Love"

Cao, 73, is a famous photographer in Japan. In his career of more than forty years, he has been capturing moving expressions and charming charm with his lens. His collaborators include celebrities from all walks of life, such as sean connery, Keith Richard, Inoue,,,,,,,, and so on.

Cao Shang and Mei have made some TV commercials and music PV, and Shadow Love is his first film. In fact, as early as twenty years ago, Cao Cao intentionally tried to be in charge of film directing. But at that time, he felt that he was not mature enough to concentrate on photography and film at the same time. When someone recruits him to join the film project, he always refuses him with the words "How can you make a movie if you can't even take a photo well?". Everything in life takes time. For Cao Cao, after years of training, it's finally time to make a movie-he feels that he has the ability to master another art form. The completion of self-awareness means the promotion of action, and love in movies is born for very personal reasons. Cao Cao didn't consider whether the theme of the film is in line with the times. He just thinks he wants to shoot it, so he can shoot it himself.

In practice, we can grasp the film by comparing with photography: the key of photography is to seize the best moment and press the shutter quickly by reflection, and film has time continuity. "Tell the actors what kind of air to make, and then let them use this air to dominate the scene, and I will intercept the scene-this is the movie." Out of this understanding, as directors, we don't ask actors to do details, but let them think about the characters themselves and then perform according to their own ideas, thus inducing some subtle and interesting things. Years of photographic experience have formed a unique understanding of image language for Cao Cao. For a sexy character, the ideal is an actor who can exude sexiness by standing without talking or doing anything. The movie pictures in Cao Cao abandon the stereotyped expression and persistently capture the actor's own temperament. At the same time, in the picture, not only the characters, but also the light and shadow can make people feel the temperature of lust. The film Love was inspired by the living habits of a desert insect. The fog beetle is a black insect that lives in the African desert. In the hot day, they usually get into the sand to avoid the sun, and they don't come out to breed and drink water until nightfall. They will wait upside down, waiting for the dew to fall on their bodies and then roll into their mouths.

About thirty years ago, Cao Cao and Mei heard about the strange lifestyle of the beetle in the fog and were deeply moved by its romance and heroism. It must be interesting to change insects into adults, showing the innate sexual impulse and instinct of creatures-such an idea has always remained in Cao Cao's mind, so there is a "shadow love." In the film, the man's initial job is just monitoring. However, in the 24-hour gaze, the woman who ate boiled eggs gradually absorbed his soul, and it was his sexual impulse and instinct that made him find beauty in those things that had rusted and gone to ruin. The mysterious and sexy female killer in the film is played by Rie Miyazawa. /kloc-When she was 0/6 years old, she met Cao in an advertising campaign. She has great respect for Cao, and they have kept in touch for twenty years. This time, as soon as Miyazawa received Cao Cao's film contract, he immediately nodded and agreed to play, without even looking at the script.

The enchanting life scene of the heroine is one of the highlights of the film, and there will be many scenes in which she slowly eats boiled eggs. Director Cao Cao invited Gong Ze to have an erotic meal. Therefore, Gong Ze practiced eating eggs all night. In addition, the female killer wears makeup every time she performs a task, and Rie Miyazawa's changeable shape is also quite eye-catching.

Looking at the heroine, the hero is played by acting school Masatoshi Nagase. Nagase is working with Cao Shang for the first time, and he said he was deeply honored to work with this legendary photographer.

In addition, the well-known K?ji Yakusho and Yuuki Amami also played important roles in the film. The director carefully arranged the costumes of these four main characters, and constructed artistic harmony in color, which brought picturesque beauty to this film, which combines suspense tension and temptation.
