Jung Woo-jin likes rain.
During the rainy season, the dead Xiu Ya will return from the cloud country.
The air is damp, the rain is patchy, the bushes are verdant, and the texture of [Meet You Now] is as humid as the June rainy season on the Korean peninsula.
It always rains in movies.
In the abandoned tunnel, I meet Xiuya again, just after the rain.
Watching a car movie on the top of the mountain, one second is still kissing, the next second it is pouring rain.
Even in the memories of the two, it was raining.
Rain is the core of the film . "It will rain now" and "I will see you in the rain" may be more relevant.
It's no wonder that the original Japanese version was called "Love you through raindrops" (also translated as "about the rainy season" ).
The rain falling from the sky is the sweetness when the two fell in love, and the sadness after separation.
Unfortunately, in the end, Yu Jin and Xiu Ya parted.
And the rain in the history of movies is still as hot as the screen love.

The director and actors are very distressed, shooting rain is a technical job
Who made the first rain in the movie?
There is no exact statement, but the documentary [Rain] by Dutch director Juris Evans in 1929 can be regarded as an early representative work of rain.
The video records a spring rain in Amsterdam. The entire film is almost a splicing of fixed shots, enriching the image of the rain from details.
The film is full of natural rain. Under the lens, without any imagery or emotion, beauty becomes poetry.
This is probably the first encounter between film and rain.
The shooting of natural rain is time-consuming, labor-intensive and expensive, and the water cost saved is not enough for film money. In addition, the natural rain is uncontrollable, and the final effect is unsatisfactory.
That's why [Rain] was 14 minutes long and the director spent two years wandering around Amsterdam.
Since then, there has been little natural rain for filming.
Artificial rain is also very laborious to photograph.
[Song in the Rain] is the love between rain and the movie . That classic rain scene took 7 days to film.
5 minutes of uninterrupted heavy rain requires a large displacement pipe and high water pressure.
It was a hot summer at that time, and local residents would water the lawn in the evening, and the water pressure in a large area could not reach the water pressure for filming, so the crew had to stop work on time.
The artificial rainfall alone lasts up to six hours a day, consuming thousands of gallons of water.
If it is not overloaded, at least 4 standard Wuling Hongguang vehicles can be filled.
The long rainy scenes also tested the physique of the actors, although the crew prepared two or three suits and also equipped a dryer.
Gene Kelly still burned to 40 degrees.
The best presentation effect of rain is to restore the rain line clearly (looks like a linear rain) .
Usually, the water is mixed with milk or paint to make the rain line more three-dimensional in the lens. In [Song in the Rain], milk is added.
Or use light to present rain lines, but there are two extremes.
In one case, "Startling at every step" , it rained directly under the big sun.
There are rain lines and the sun is shining brightly. (Maybe the sun rain can explain this kind of wear)
The other is the textbook-level [The Shawshank Redemption] .
With the advancement of film technology, synthetic rain appeared.
This kind of rain saves the trouble of pre-shooting, but it is a test of post-production. For example , the still raindrops in [Now You See Me 2] .
For the difficulty of filming rain, please invite Xiao Jingteng as the starring role, which may be able to achieve the unity of efficiency and effect.

I know what you did that rainy night
The wind and the rain are killing people
The sound of rain covered the screams, and the rain washed the blood.
A stormy night makes for the perfect murder.
In 1982, there was a perverted murderer in Hong Kong, who specially picked women who came home at night. And the crime was mostly rainy nights, so he was called "The Butcher of Rainy Nights " .
This incident was later adapted into the movie [Doctor Lamb] , and the cult flavor did not even lose [Human Meat Char Siu Bao].
And the same is true of Bong Joon-ho's [Memories of Murder] , adapted from the 1986 Hwaseong Serial Murder Case in South Korea . It's a pity that this pervert who likes to kill people on rainy nights has not yet been subdued .
Rainy nights became the nightmare of that generation of Koreans.
In addition to facilitating the murder, the rain can also construct a plot and create a place for murder.
In [Fatal ID] , all characters are trapped in motels due to heavy rain.
The rainstorm constructed a utopia full of personality.
Without this torrential rain, there would be no subsequent wonderful reversal.
The rain in [Seven Deadly Sins] has basically never stopped except for the last scene in the desert.
With a strong religious background [Seven Deadly Sins], rain is given a deeper meaning.
There is a story of "John the Baptist " in the Bible . John baptized people in the Jordan River and urged people to repent of their sins. In [Seven Deadly Sins], the murderer is called "John Doe", who "baptized" those who committed the seven sins through murder.
The continuous rain is a metaphor for the process.
It is impossible to count how many characters died in the rain in the movie.
And those sins and secrets, mixed with rain and blood, turned into a nightmare for the audience.

in love? Lost in love? Let it rain!
If you want to see if the girl is really beautiful, you should take her to the rain.
The rain will remove her makeup and restore a simple girl. (Never heard of waterproof cosmetics)
Of course, the girl with makeup may be like this.
It is also possible.
However, what reason is there for a girl who is willing to accompany you out in the rain?
In particular, the feeling of frailty like a pear blossom with rain can best arouse the desire to protect the male compatriots.
So pure love movies always like rainy days.
In the heavy rain in the summer of 1968, Jun Ha and Joo Hee had already communicated with each other, and love happened like this. There was no need for trivial matters, just a wet rain and two hazy hearts .
The embarrassment brought by the rainstorm makes people abandon their self-esteem and say love bravely. The power of rain can also strengthen the emotion of confession.
So Mr. Darcy finally put down his pride and prejudice and proposed to Elizabeth after the rain.
"It will rain if you break up with love " , although it is used to complain about the vulgarity of love movies, but it cannot find a more appetizing weather.
And rain can solve some problems, hide tears, and create the illusion that the whole world is crying with you.
Ke Jingteng and Shen Jiayi still missed the heavy rain and love in those years.
The answer that Robert longed for, along with their love, dissipated in the rain.
Rain embraced the movie, and also left and right about the hurried lovers in the light and shadow.
Movies like rain, and since its birth, it has been cuddling with her.
Su Shi likes rain, and in the second year of Shi's tenure as a book-signing judge in Fengxiang Mansion, he built a "Happy Rain Pavilion" .
Wu Chengen likes rain, Che Chi country fights, and the first round is to ask for rain. For the rain in Fengxian County, Zhu Bajie went to eat Mishan Mianshan.
I also like rain. On rainy days, I make a good pot of tea, watch an old movie, hide under the covers, empty my mind, and fall asleep.
The world is only left with a quiet swirl.
Rain is water, weather, wine made by emotions, and soup made by stories.
