Chapter 52 Shooting

In a blink of an eye, the shooting entered the third day.

In the morning, a simple rental house rented by the crew.

The scenery is still being temporarily adjusted, the camera is still being adjusted, lighting, sound, group performances, and all departments are busy.

When Li Mu was patrolling the set, he suddenly heard a burst of women's laughter. He followed the laughter and saw that it was Li Lianhua and Xu Qing. He didn't know what they were talking about, but they were laughing so happily .

"I said, what are you two talking about? You are so happy, and you say it to make everyone happy together?" Li Mu walked over and said with a smile.

"director."

"director."

Neither of the two women noticed Li Mu, when Li Mu suddenly spoke next to them, both of them were taken aback.

Li Mu squatted down beside the two of them, putting on a look of rest.

Li Lianhua laughed suddenly at this moment, and jokingly said: "Director, you look too small, like... like the big brother of the two of us, I'm so sorry for the two of us being older sisters." Say this in front of you."

Li Mu stood up and said: "Understood, the topic of girlfriends, the kind with a little color, goodbye, you two continue."

"Director, you're not as colorful as you think." Li Lianhua suddenly stopped him and said, "And it has something to do with today's scene."

Li Mu stopped when he heard the words: "Understood, Wei Se, it's related to business, let's talk about it."

Li Lianhua said: "Today's scene is going to be about Li Lianlian returning to his former rented house, but at this time he has already carried out many assassination missions, and his whole temperament has completely changed. When he came back, he just came to get back the gun he hid here. It just so happened that his buddy Barry had already lived with his girlfriend in his house openly and aboveboard. His girlfriend kept blaming him when she saw him coming back suddenly. The villain filed a complaint first, so when I heard this outside the door, I suddenly went in and grabbed Lian Lian's arm. This scene stunned Li Lian's buddies and ex-girlfriends. They couldn't imagine how such a wimpy character like Li Lian could catch To such a beautiful girl."

Li Mu nodded.

Li Lianhua continued: "Then I told Sister Xu Qing that if it was really me, it wouldn't be as simple as just holding Li Lianlian's arm when entering. It's serious for Lian Lian's character to have a French kiss, after hearing this, Xu Qing said it was her words and went out to book a room with Li Lian Lian Hotel."

Li Mu continued to nod: "And then?"

"After that, I really can't talk anymore." Xu Qing suddenly said first.

"Okay, I understand, don't ask any more questions, Sister Lianhua, you are also ready to start shooting." Li Mu stood up and said before leaving.

"I know the director." Li Lianhua said.

After Li Mu walked away, the two women chatted again.

Li Lianhua said: "Our Director Li is really too young. Looking at a college student who has just graduated, I feel immoral when talking about even the slightest topic with him."

Xu Qing smiled and said, "Don't we Director Li look like a college student who has just graduated? He is a college student who has just graduated. Besides, what's wrong with talking about some outrageous topics with the younger brother? Let the older director marry the young wife, Why don't big sisters in the entertainment industry be allowed to find big brothers?"

As they spoke, the two women laughed together again.

On the other side, Li Mu returned to his director's chair from the side of the two women and lay down, and couldn't help but start complaining in his heart.

"It's so rare that I don't know if Li Lianlian and Li Lianhua have a passionate kiss. Even if I don't understand, isn't there still the original movie as a reference? But this time the hero is Li Lianhua. , what can he do? We can only change the script and change the passionate kiss into crossed arms."

Most of the crew members who have worked with Li Lian knew that Li Lian could not shoot kissing scenes. This international superstar is very dedicated to filming, and he can do whatever the director tells him to do, but he really can't shoot kissing scenes.

I have never seen such a shy actor in the entertainment industry.

Once filming a scene with Li Jiaxin, the script required his hand to accidentally touch Li Jiaxin's X, but Li Lianlian himself was scared and ran away.

Li Lianlian is notoriously shy in the entertainment industry. He has almost never taken a scene where he is too intimate with an actress. Generally, he is afraid to talk to the actress on the set, so many scenes cannot be shot. It is said that he was filming a certain movie. When it came to the movie about bodyguards, it was just a very common and slightly intimate scene. Li Lianlian filmed it more than 30 times in a row but couldn't pass it.

Li Mu, who has been in the entertainment circle for 20 years in his previous life, naturally would not know nothing about these things, so when he was writing the script, he had already made a rough analysis of the original film based on the characteristics of the two superstars Cheng Long and Li Lianlian. Modifications have been made to a certain extent.

Some of the shots I wanted to shoot couldn’t be shot, and I knew I could get a better shot, but in the end I had to settle for the next best thing. Of course, inviting a superstar to be the protagonist will not only have advantages but no disadvantages.

But if there is a chance next time - of course Li Mu will continue to hire big-name actors!

The reason is very simple.

What is the basis for the theaters to arrange films?
Is the movie good or bad?
It’s nothing new for a bad film to sell well at the box office and to be recognized as a good film, but it’s not a hit. Theater chains want to make money, of course, whichever movie sells well, they will arrange more movies for that movie.

How to judge which movie will sell better before the movie is released?

Look at the pre-sale box office, look at the popularity of the Internet, look at how much the producer and distributor are willing to spend on publicity, look at the fame of the director and actors, look at the director's previous work, etc.

Among them, the starring lineup is an extremely important indicator in the eyes of theater managers.

The protagonist of my movie is Cheng Long Li Lianlian, and the protagonist of your movie is passer-by A, B, C, D. You say your movie is better, and you beg the theater manager to arrange more movies for you. How can people believe you?
In the more and more introverted film scheduling arena in the future, even a big director like Zhang Yimou will publicly stand up and call on the theater managers to ask for more films for his films, instead of always queuing for midnight and early morning shows.

So sometimes it is more useful to hire actors who can guarantee the box office than the script is more perfect.

"All departments pay attention, irrelevant personnel leave the stage, and actors are in place."

"Scene 26, the third take for the first time."

"Snapped!"

Field record board.

"start!"

Following Li Mu's order, Li Lianjie and Li Lianhua came to a door in the dark corridor, and a female voice came from inside: "Barry, can you feed Annabelle?"

Li Lian stepped forward and knocked on the door.

The one who opened the door was his former buddy Barry, the buddy who knew he would not turn his back on the protagonist if he was a cuckold.

"Hey, where did you go, I miss you so much, brother."

Li Lianjie kicked suddenly, the door was kicked open, Barry fell to the ground with a nosebleed in an instant, and his ex-girlfriend came out cursing when he heard the movement.

"You're an asshole, what are you doing?"

Li Lianlian didn't even look at his ex-girlfriend. He just came to get back the gun he hid at home, so after entering the house, he went straight to the toilet, while his ex-girlfriend was still chattering through the toilet door.

"What else do you want? You've been missing for weeks and now you're just here to borrow a toilet? You think you're some big shot, don't you? No, you know? You're nothing, no, you're nothing more than a fart, You are not even half Barry, at least Barrie can let me enjoy happiness that you can never imagine."

Then Li Lianlian in the toilet put away his pistol and pushed out the door. At the same time, the female killer played by Li Lianhua also entered the house from the corridor. The ex-girlfriend immediately switched firepower when she saw Li Lianhua.

"Who is she? Your new whore? How depraved have you been? Need to pay for it?"

At this time, Li Lianhua stepped forward and hugged Li Lianjie's arm in an intimate manner, and then the two of them looked at each other and left the room with their arms crossed. The ex-girlfriend felt a little bit in her heart when she saw that Li Lianjie, who she didn't like, could catch such a hot woman. Jealous, but the former buddy Barry who was still lying on the ground said: "He is a hero!"

"Crack!"

"pass."
