Behind-the-scenes production of the little prince on the corner

The little prince on the street corner is talking about a lost and regained love, and the cat is a string of these lost and regained soul figures. According to the director, he has always believed that everyone has a little prince who belongs to him/her in his/her life and will always wait for him at some point in his/her life. Every character in The Little Prince on the Corner dialectically demonstrates such a value, the value of love. Everyone is in different stages of love, experiencing the value of love in youth and self-life.

Such values are a bit fatalistic and tragic, but they always hold hope for the future and love. Director Cheng doesn't think he is a completely optimistic person, but because he believes that the future will be beautiful after all, he gives this script a bright power. The little prince in the corner is talking about the wound, but at the same time he is talking about the power of healing. This power is imperfect, and healing is love. Romantic rain and hard rain play

In The Little Prince on the Corner, there are many rainy scenes, including reunion rain, lost rain, lonely rain and light rain under an umbrella. In this movie, rain is both romantic and sad.

Xiao Jing in the play always likes to draw on rainy days. The rain scene looks simple, but in fact the shooting process is very troublesome. If it rains indoors or outdoors, as long as the lamp position is set (outdoor lighting is generally needed to make the rain visible in the lens), then the distance of the waterwheel, the height of sprinkling water and the protection of the lamp in the rain will be nothing serious. But if you shoot actors in the rain, the complexity will be much higher. In addition to the amount of rain at each angle, the actor's body must also be dry and wet.

For many emotions, such as the scene where the hero and heroine are looking for a cat in the rain, the photographer must also put on a raincoat and take a waterproof camera to shoot in the rain. Other camera crew members must also wear raincoats, camera assistants must protect photographers, and they must focus and follow the line in the rainstorm. Coupled with the makeup and hairstyle of the actors, every shot will be reshaped. So every shot is only allowed to succeed, not to fail. Even in the rehearsal stage, many tests must be carried out without rain.

So when shooting officially, just give the order. When the rain falls from the sky, everyone must be nervous and strive for a trick. Many times, because most of the water pumped by the waterwheel is groundwater, it is not necessarily clean. After filming, the actors should not only fight against the wet moisture, but also protect the itchy skin. It's really romantic What looks romantic and brave in many shots looks awkward at the scene. In this state, it is really hard for actors to fall in love in their roles. However, whenever the rain scene is finished, everyone will have a full sense of accomplishment and feel as if they have completed a major event.

Seven little princes

One of the most important characters in the film is the cat protagonist "Little Prince". In the play, the little prince sometimes plays coquetry, sometimes falls asleep, sometimes "plays the piano", and even performs a thrilling shelter from the rain, which requires very high acting skills. Such an important role is actually played by seven kittens in turn. These kittens are called Little Prince, Little Brown, Sugar Sugar, Flower Taro, YuKi, Hello and Circle.

Seven kittens have different division of labor. YuKi is in charge of leading the poster, and the other kittens play childhood kittens and kittens that the heroine Xiao Jing later picked up again. In addition, when they are on standby, they also act as body double for others at any time. Among them, Hua Taro is the best of the seven kittens. His first scene was against the two children in the play. Hua taro will look back at his children with intense eyes. He is not afraid of life at all. He is a natural star.

Candy always yawns after five minutes on stage. Yawning when filming the storage room, yawning when filming the top floor, and even yawning when filming such a tense scene as rain. So as long as there are sleeping scenes in the script, it's all sugar and sugar.

Little Brown is the biggest and strongest. At the same age, he is "slimmer" than others, and what he is best at is jumping. So there was a play of hide-and-seek in the rain, and he was in charge.

Hello and Circle are the two most magical cats in The Little Prince on the Corner. They are a pair of sisters. When filming, because of their excellent performance, the staff gave them a set of interesting nicknames: my sister is called fairy, and my sister is called fairy, and she is also very sensitive to sounds. So when filming the cat sticking its head out of the box, I decided to create this interesting scene with cat sticks and cat food. The specialty of the circle is that it is good at coquetry and expresses the feeling of crying and blaming the owner incisively and vividly.

This cat named "Little Prince" is a kitten specially adopted by the director to shoot this play. But because the filming was postponed, the little prince was too old to play the poor kitten in the play. So the director had to reluctantly change roles. But the animal trainer had a good idea. Although the little prince, who is also an orange tabby cat, is too big, he can still be the body body double of these kittens. Not only body double who made the film, but also body double who played the lighting. In this way, the little prince still has a sense of participation and will not make him feel that he is a star of the past. Thus, this authentic little prince finally got a place in the film.

The most important character in this movie is the little prince. The casting process exhausted the director. Every time he finds the right kitten, he grows into a cat in less than a month. Finally, with the help of Taibei Stray Cat Protection Association and Taiwan Province Adoption Map Association, the soul protagonist of the film was found. It is usually taken care of by a close-fitting nanny, can enjoy endless food and snacks, and is treated with high standards by superstars at the shooting scene. Lin Xiaoqian hopes that this film can convey the aspiration of all cat lovers to cherish their pets and not abandon them.
