From crying together to laughing together
continuation
In 2014, Huang Zhenzhen's film "Girlfriend" swept the summer file with a dark horse, and finally won 200 million yuan at the box office. After four years, the upcoming "Girlfriend 2" continues the heart-warming "girlfriend" story of the previous work, and also integrates elements such as comedy, adventure, and highway. The director of the film is still Huang Zhenzhen, the main actors of the first part, Chen Yihan and Xue Kaiqi, have also returned, while Zhang Junning, who has soared in popularity with works such as "The Tale of Muyun on the Sea" and "The League of Military Teachers" in recent years, has taken over Yang Zishan to join the "girlfriend group".
Talking about the reason for the continuation of the shooting, Huang Zhenzhen said: "Girlfriends are people who can cry and laugh together. The first part only expresses the 'crying' part, that is, no matter what happens, such as when you are sad because of the loss of love, your girlfriend will always be the person who supports you and accompanies you, and grows up with each other. And the girlfriend's emotions also have a 'laughing' part, for example, in the happiest stage of life, we will want to celebrate with the girlfriend, go crazy together, this is what "Girlfriend 2" wants to show. ”
"Girlfriend 2" tells that Xi Wen (Chen Yihan) accepts Qiao Li's marriage proposal, and she meets her girlfriends Kimmy (Xue Kaiqi), Jia Lan (Zhang Junning) and Qiao Li's cousin Jingjing to Go to Vietnam to start a crazy pre-marriage single journey, and an out-of-control adventure begins... Huang Zhenzhen said: "A group of girlfriends have encountered thrilling things in another country, and these sudden experiences may make us closer to our hearts and better understand what we actually want." Girls often be urged by others to say at the age of 25-30, 'Find a boyfriend, get married early', which is actually a kind of shackle. This journey in the film makes Xiwen discover that she married not because she was almost 30 years old, but because love had arrived. ”
Girlfriend affection should be revealed naturally
crazy
The three main actors of "Girlfriend 2", Chen Yihan, Xue Kaiqi and Zhang Junning, are good sisters who have known each other for many years in life, and this movie is also the second cooperation between Chen Yihan and Zhang Junning after eight years after "Leper Hero". The so-called "girlfriend group" is naturally often crazy together. Chen Yihan couldn't help but complain: "Every time they quarrel, they can't hear me, and I use a roar to communicate with them, which causes my voice to be dumb when I shoot." But I think this kind of girlfriend's state is very realistic and very grounded. ”
Huang Zhenzhen likes to capture the real and natural state of the actors: "Because the relationship between them is very good, so many scenes let them improvise. The love between sisters is to flow naturally. In the film, there is a scene where the girlfriend group makes a big fuss in the nightclub," we started shooting that scene from six or seven o'clock in the morning. At first they were a little shy about the occasion, but then everyone drank a glass of champagne and soon got into the play. The scene was originally designed to be just for them to rush to the stage to dance, and the result was very crazy, but because it was their spontaneous interaction, it was natural. There was also a scene of the girlfriend group fighting scorpion wine, the crew originally prepared tea to replace the wine, but the three people took it up and drank it after learning that "this wine is very replenishing", "The result is that the scene of the wine competition is very realistic, and they were indeed a bit drunk at the time."
Originally it was a small and fresh "walking heart", why set up so many "heavy taste" bridges? Huang Zhenzhen laughed and said: "Women have a lot of shackles in their original lives, such as wanting Sven Xianshu, but also gentle and beautiful, and all aspects must meet the standards that this society hopes a woman to achieve." But I reckon a lot of girls have the same idea as I do, just want to go out with their female friends for a night out. It's mostly a kind of relaxation, after which we will still go back to our original lives and take on the role of women. ”
The situation of shooting in Vietnam is varied
hardships
Compared with the first part, the production of "Girlfriend 2" has been significantly upgraded, and the crew went to Vietnam to shoot. Huang Zhenzhen said: "I hope this adventure has a mysterious and dangerous feeling. And the crew also experienced a "shooting adventure" in Vietnam.
There is a motorcycle scene that surrounds the downtown square, and the crew has applied to the local relevant agencies before filming. At 5 o'clock in the morning, the crew set up the machine to start shooting, and as a result, just half an hour after the shooting, several local police officers came to drive them away, saying that the crew submitted the application for the application was not in the jurisdiction. Huang Zhenzhen continued to shoot until the police began to violently interfere, and then had to stop.
From the survey to the finishing, the crew stayed in Vietnam for more than 4 months before and after, and similar situations emerged in an endless stream. Sometimes the staff and machines have arrived on the set, but the landlord sits on the ground and starts, or suddenly adds electricity bills, toilet usage fees, etc. And the locals hardly speak English, and the communication between the two sides basically relies on translations, and often the discussion is half a day without results... "They are not in a hurry at all, we are like living in different time and space." Huang Zhenzhen looked helpless.
Although the process is not easy, Huang Zhenzhen said that the three actresses are very cooperative: "Usually I have to urge them to wear makeup or something, but this time the three of them are sitting there early and waiting, and the machine lighting is set up and immediately comes to perform." Because they know that the crew faces too many difficulties, if they do not cooperate with each other, it is difficult to complete this play. Huang Zhenzhen also revealed that the script outline of "Girlfriend 3" has now been completed and will continue to cooperate with these actors: "The movie "Girlfriend" really makes us girlfriends.
