Highlights from the movie "Desert Island Love"

Creating a script is difficult

A Chinese-language film with a unique style, "Desert Island Love", was officially formed and prepared in Beijing after more than eight months of preliminary operations. Actors, location and other work have also started one after another. The film's director and producer Yu Hanqiu revealed that his film will be strict in the selection of actors, based on the script, mainly from first- and second-tier actors in China, Hong Kong and Taiwan. The script of the movie "Desert Island" went through nearly a year of arduous creation and several revisions. The final script has been highly praised by many film experts. The title of the movie has also experienced changes from "Desert Island" to "Desert Island". "Cherish 100%" and now the confirmed "Desert Island Love" has been adjusted again and again. Director Yu, one of the screenwriters, said that this is the film he has worked hardest on, and he strives to create a masterpiece!

A previous scene on a university campus evoked the emotions of many members of the crew about their school life. "I think of the joy of my school days, like my first love, the express packages, and the beauty of the campus. Now I think about the burden of study at the beginning." Cao Xiwen, the actress in the play, was filled with emotion. It took a year to search for beauty from the perspective of a painter

Whether it is a painter, an art director, or a director, the feeling of beauty has been deeply reflected in the heart of Director Yu Hanqiu, and Director Yu also uses his heart all the time. To discover, to pursue all beautiful things, and to express all beautiful things. The choice of the filming location for the film "Desert Island" in Hainan, a picturesque place with spring-like scenery all year round, is also a reflection of Director Yu's desire for beauty. During the filming and location selection process last year, Director Yu and the creative staff visited almost every inch of Hainan's landscape. From Haikou, known as the Coconut City, to Sanya with clear water and white sand, find the harmony of all these things related to beauty in this land where there is a faint fragrance of coconut after the rain. Director Yu said that the location of this shooting in Hainan was also to showcase the beauty of Hainan and to dedicate the beauty of Hainan to the audience.

Location Selection - Deserted Island

Director Yu said that during the location selection process in Hainan last year, he was deeply attracted by the scenery of Hainan. In order to make the film use the beautiful scenery In order to better express things, and in order to include more of Hainan's beautiful scenery in the film, the script was revised several times around the scenery of Hainan. The film's leading actor Chen Long also said that he received 4 copies of the changed script. The director's pursuit of beauty has reason to believe that this film will be a feast of beauty.

As for "Desert Island", it is still under confidentiality. Even many crew members don't know what a desert island looks like. From Dao Yu's words, we learned that the "desert island" was a small island outside Hainan Island. When he continued to explore the truth about the "desert island", Dao Yu just smiled and said nothing. We can only speculate about the mysterious "desert island". It seems that the answer to the desert island can only be found out after the movie is released.

Director Yu said that the filming location in Hainan was to show the beauty of Hainan. In this film, it not only shows the beautiful local natural scenery, but also is rich in the cultural landscape of Hainan.

In terms of the selection of actors, Director Yu also put a lot of thought into it. The first factor was to fit the script's requirements for the characters, and young people such as Chen Long, Jiang Xiaohan, Cao Xiwen, and Donglai Dongliang The joining of idols further reflects Director Yu's positioning of the film as a youth card. Director Yu specifically mentioned an actor named Ke Yan who has been following Director Yu for a long time. Since the beginning of "Rain Flower Dew", Ke Yan has been following Yu Dao, and Yu Dao said that he is very optimistic about Ke Yan.

Those scary years during filming

Hainan is a paradise for vacations. It has Yalong Bay, known as the best bay in the world, Wenchang coconut half of Hainan, and the most beautiful coconut groves in the eastern suburbs. Wenchang has Haikou with its sea forest landscape. The shooting was indeed done in this picturesque scenery. But filming here is not all smooth sailing, and some strange things will happen during the filming process.

One shooting was in a jungle. Like many places in Hainan, there are tall coconut trees and banana trees, but this jungle revealed a hint of coolness everywhere, including the director. Many personnel felt chilly and particularly uncomfortable. Later, when changing seats, I discovered several barren tombs, which were from the Daoguang and Jiaqing years of the Qing Dynasty. In the evening of that day, the crew's car broke down at the filming location. It was still not repaired until the next day, and the sturdy recording teacher also had a fever. Because this jungle made everyone uncomfortable, they had to change the shooting location and re-shoot and re-frame the scene, which caused considerable difficulties for the crew's normal shooting. However, making a film will always be difficult. Director Yu is very optimistic and the actors are very cooperative. Everyone hopes that these years passed step by step can become sweet memories after the film is released.

The more than 80 staff members of the crew are all Director Yu’s old team, so the work communication is very smooth. The staff can quickly understand the director’s intentions. At the end of every day’s work, when Yu When the director said "call it a day", many people at the scene would be heard shouting: Thank you, director, and director Yu would often gently reply: "Thank you for your hard work, everyone."

Those who are busy

Because Director Yu Hanqiu is also the producer of this film, he is always so busy whether he is on the shooting scene or returning to the hotel after work. He is even so busy. There was no time to sit down and have a cup of coffee in the afternoon. Just after lunch at noon, I returned to the set and was busy. Sometimes I would strictly control every shot of every scene behind the monitor, and sometimes I would communicate with the actors emotionally and convey the feeling I wanted to the other party, whether it was Already famous actors, ordinary extras, or staff members can all feel Director Yu's affability.

"Okay, let's do it again!" Perhaps the most common words the actors heard from Director Yu. The strict requirements for each scene, the pursuit of excellence in art and beauty, and this meticulous work attitude bring more charm to the film. Perhaps this should not be regarded as an attitude towards work, but a feeling and understanding of beauty, and a deeper spiritual pursuit.

Chen Long adapts to the bad environment to protect the beautiful woman

In addition to giving Chen Long the opportunity to challenge ruthless characters, "Desert Island Love" is also Chen Long's first time on a primitive tropical desert island. Shooting videos in. According to the staff, Chen Long served as the flower protector for the entire crew during the filming process. Since the film was filmed on an isolated island in the South China Sea, although the staff in the film had taken precautionary measures, there were still insects and insects that followed them everywhere. Various reptiles still frightened many actresses and staff members. "Every time I hear screaming, as long as he is not working in front of the camera, I will rush over immediately." Faced with such praise, Chen Long said modestly, "No, no, everyone will get over it." When a reporter asked if he would complain about such a working environment, Chen Long waved his hands hastily: "How is it possible? No matter what kind of environment, unconditional adaptation is a lesson that every actor must take. And I also want them to feel It’s very safe here. So I have to overcome this difficulty.”

Don’t pursue quantity, pursue quality

Director Yu said: “I don’t pursue quantity, pursue quality now (making movies). ! It doesn’t matter if it takes two or three years to make a movie, but it must be deep and high-quality!” With Director Yu’s attitude towards excellence, the film will certainly attract attention. In addition, the film "Desert Island" has been highly recognized by the China Film Association, and relevant leaders have also expressed high expectations for the film.
