  • I'm Lulu Wang, and I'm the writer and director

  • of 'The Farewell.'

  • "Ha!"

  • This is a scene between Billi and Nai Nai, her grandma.

  • It's the morning after Billi has arrived in China,

  • and Nai Nai is exercising.

  • It's played by Nora Lum, aka Awkwafina, and Zhao

  • Shuzhen as Nai Nai.

  • "Ha!"

  • This was the first scene that we

  • shot on the first day of production.

  • And I was kind of nervous about it,

  • because I wasn't sure of the chemistry between the two

  • actors.

  • And the entire scene is shot in one

  • take with a static camera.

  • And we just let the actors move freely around the frame.

  • But I knew that I wasn't going to be able to edit the scene.

  • So Anna Franquesa Solano is my DP,

  • and we talked a lot about this scene,

  • because it's the first scene where Billi and Nai

  • Nai are together alone.

  • And we wanted it to be a static shot because we wanted

  • the audience to feel the natural chemistry

  • between the two actors--

  • "Ha!

  • Ha!"

  • --without the camera getting in the way.

  • So we put markers down on the floor,

  • eventually, because at first, we

  • gave the actors a lot of freedom,

  • and Nora would roam off camera.

  • And she would just be off camera the whole time.

  • So this exercise is something that my own grandmother did.

  • And it was always kind of funny to me,

  • but she took it very seriously.

  • And I had a hard time, actually,

  • getting Zhao Shuzhen, who plays Nai Nai,

  • to do the exercise, because it's not something that she

  • does in her real life.

  • And it's actually quite difficult.

  • It takes a lot of core strength to really get

  • the loudness of that 'ha.'

  • So it took a lot of practice, and she was pretty winded

  • by the end of it.
