"I Am Sam" is actually similar to "The Gift of Room 7" to a certain extent.

But the style is completely different.

"The Gift of Room No. 7" adheres to the slightly exaggerated style of Bangzi with a Hong Kong nonsensical flavor, while "I Am Sam" is purely a Hollywood movie.

After deciding, Li Yi began to pull out the script of "I Am Sam".

As for whether it is the same as the real thing, it doesn't matter at all.

In fact, it can be said that Li Yi has already mastered movies like "I Am Sam". After all, "The Gift of Room No. 7" was the first movie he made.

"Need to meet this 'Sam'?" James Dean asked.

Li Yi pondered for a moment and shook his head: "No need!"

It's really unnecessary, for no other reason, because Li Yi is the director, and this Mr. "Sam" is actually just an adult with an IQ equivalent to that of a child, so it doesn't make any sense whether he meets or not.

Of course, the person who actually wants to meet "Sam" is the actor who will play the leading role in the movie next.

After all, such a role is still very challenging for actors.

Li Yi doesn't need to have a reference, because the original version is exciting enough and the actors' acting skills are superb enough, so it is the best reference.

In fact, many times, there is a big gap between what is performed and what is happening in reality.

Soon the "I Am Sam" project was officially approved. Li Yi didn't need to worry about publicity. Since Dean Pictures wanted to do this project, they would naturally take the initiative.

Of course, it's definitely not now.

Casting soon began.

Li Yi has never been fond of casting newcomers, and this movie has requirements for actors' acting skills and popularity, so he must choose already famous actors to play.

Fortunately, Li Yi is also a great director now, and it can be said that he is famous. Basically, no one will refuse his invitation.

In the end, among several candidates, Li Yi chose a veteran Hollywood actor, Jerry Nelson!

In fact, several other candidates are also good, but this one gives Li Yi the best feeling.

As for the selection of young actors, after auditions, a female child star was chosen, Anna Pierce!

I have to say this. In terms of actors in Hollywood, it can be said that the industry chain is really complete. From children to the elderly, there are almost many candidates to choose from.

The crew's early preparations are progressing very quickly. After all, although this is a movie adapted from real events, in fact, the scenes and plots involved do not need to be too complicated, and with the background of Li Yi's team and Dean Films

, this kind of movie actually couldn’t be simpler.

Soon, the crew was ready.

On the other hand, Dean Films did hire a lawyer for the real-life version of "Sam". It was not a particularly famous lawyer. After all, it had to correspond with the movie.

But in fact, no matter what lawyer is hired, in fact, it can almost be said that the outcome of this case is already determined.

Li Yi didn't have any moral mysophobia, but he still went to see that "Sam", and the result was just as he thought before, the other person was like a child.

Nothing can be communicated at all.

Over there, they are waiting for the court to convene, and here, the filming of Li Yi's movie has officially started.

The filming scene of "I Am Sam".

"The first scene of "I Am Sam", the first shot, the first time, ACTION!"

As the sound of the clapper fell, the filming of the movie officially started.

In fact, if a normal person wants to perform the feeling of low IQ and low energy, it will still test the actor's skill.

In the original version, the actor showed it in many details, making people feel what kind of person this person is when they see him.

Including the way of speaking, the speed of speaking, including body movements, running, etc., it can be said that almost all must be taken into consideration.

The first scene is in a coffee shop, where Sam works. As usual, he arranges cups, sugar packets and other coffee companion packets in order with a slight compulsion.

In this scene, the actor did not appear on screen, but this tested the actor's skills even more, because only one pair of hands appeared on the screen.

And those who have seen the original version will know that a pair of hands, even just looking at the movements of one pair of hands, can actually make people feel what kind of person the owner of these hands is.

"CUT! Sam, the movements are so skillful. I need people to see these hands. When they see these movements, they will know what kind of person the owner of these hands is, okay?" Li Yi shouted.

Jerry Nelson said: "OK, got it!"

"The first scene of "I Am Sam", the first shot, the second shot, ACTION!"

The second shooting started.

The cups, straws, and coffee mate bags were still placed, but this time, Jerry Nelson's movements were obviously much slower than before, and his fingers made some small movements from time to time, which made Li Yi couldn't help but nod secretly,

As expected of a veteran actor, this time it was obviously much better than the first time before.

"OK, very good! Let's keep one!"

We'll be shooting for the third time soon. In fact, no matter how many times we collaborate, it's impossible to shoot a movie forever, so every time it's a new beginning. For this reason, running in is very important.

As for actors, they need to know the director’s ideas, requirements, scale, etc.

In the same way, the director also needs to know what the actors can do.

This is something both parties need to get used to.

The same crew behind the scenes also need to get along well.

The first day of filming was not that smooth, but Li Yi was not in a hurry.

After all, in a play like this, especially Jerry Nelson's Sam, Jerry Nelson, although he has been living with the real "Sam" during this period of time, observing his behavior, habits, movements, speaking intonation, and speaking speed

etc.

But in fact, it is still very difficult to play such a role.

For example, a running action, how do normal people run? How does Sam run?

Etc., etc.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! The most difficult thing for a person to change is habits, and the same is true for actors.

Therefore, he needs to slowly integrate into the role, and this kind of role is the most difficult to integrate into. After all, as a normal person, you cannot really regard yourself as mentally retarded.

Fortunately, after a period of getting used to it, filming quickly became smoother.

On the other hand, under the arrangement of Dean Films, news has spread that "I Am Sam", a movie based on a true story, is being filmed.

Of course, this is just preliminary publicity right now.

The filming of "I Am Sam" was not much different from the filming of "The Gift of Room No. 7". It was even smoother, mainly due to the performance of the actors.

Soon "I Am Sam" was announced to be finished.

On the other side, the real "Sam"'s lawsuit is also coming to an end.

In terms of editing, Li Yi can be said to be the real quick shooter.

The movie was finished very quickly.

The first screening of "I Am Sam" was held inside Dean Films.

Li Yi is no longer what he used to be. It can be said that his movies are almost a guarantee of quality. At least before they failed, he was the best.

Therefore, Dean Films attaches great importance to it.

The people who came to watch the movie this time were not only people from Dean Films, but also many cooperating directors, producers, and some people from the crew.

In fact, for many people on the crew, including the actors, they have not actually seen the finished film, so they are also curious.

Soon the movie officially started showing in the internal screening room.

The scene in the movie is the first scene of the previous movie.

The play of those hands.

In the coffee shop, Sam is working.

He arranged the coffee cups one by one, and he seemed to have an obsessive-compulsive disorder to align the logos on each coffee cup.

Many people couldn't help but nod when they saw it, because just looking at these hands can make people feel that the owner of these hands is not a person with a sound IQ.

This is not derogatory, but complimentary.

Because it is not that easy to let people clearly feel the identity of the owner of the hands through the body movements of the hands.

Jerry Nelson saw this scene for the first time after the film was completed, and he couldn't help but smile.

He didn't expect it to work so well!

"Bah bang bang!" Sam finally made his official appearance.

He was like a child, as if he had done something extraordinary and couldn't help but clap with both hands.

"alright!"

Then he saw a wet stain on the table, walked over and wiped it with a rag.

While saying hello to this old customer.

"Bruce wants a huge skim cappuccino!" He spoke slowly but carefully.
