my time as a director

And if it is a real scene, it saves the post-production, saves the construction of a studio, and saves trouble in post-production color correction.

Li Qian looked at all these photos, pointed to one of the photos, "That's it, the location must not see a little green, and the whole film is in a desolate and lonely orange tone, which is what you asked me at the beginning. The reason why some precipitous mountain peaks are not chosen for location is not in harmony with the atmosphere of the film itself."

The tone and style of the movie itself are also very important. You can’t see a piece of green, but all khaki rocks next door. The protagonist runs and jumps in such an environment.

When the tiny protagonist is placed in this environment, the audience will involuntarily feel the lonely scene, which better paves the way for the protagonist to be trapped later.

And if it is shot on a mountain, the audience can guess at a glance whether the protagonist is going to be trapped in the mountain.

After all, steep mountains are inherently dangerous, while canyons are relatively less dangerous.

"What about the actors?" Li Qian asked again.

"At first I wanted to find Chen Kun, but now his salary has reached 100 million, it is more appropriate to use Deng Chao, and I am familiar with it."

Guo Fan has been struggling with the role for more than a month. For the first film, he always wanted to do his best in all aspects and be perfect.

However, the reality does not allow it. Chen Kun is now also in the first echelon of the Mesozoic generation in China, and has achieved certain results on the big screen. Whether it is coffee status or salary, he is one of the highest actors in the Mesozoic generation.

The bigger the actor, the more difficult it is to deal with. Guo Fan always remembers what Li Qian said before, the director must have 100% control over the crew, and any actor who cannot be controlled should not be used if he can.

Unless you don't want money.

"Deng Chao."

Li Qian thought for a while, "He's fine too, don't look careless at ordinary times, but this kind of inner drama is what he is good at. Just like the little emperor in the young emperor, his eyes and inner drama are very good. .”

It was able to support a serious drama 6 years ago, and it has not been overshadowed by all the old drama bones. Needless to say, the acting skills, not to mention the subtlety of the actor's calm, optimistic, and lonely emotions in 127 hours At least, there is no problem in completing it.

I just don't know why Deng Chao later acted in that kind of comedy that pretended to be crazy and acted insanely in his mind.

"I will have an interview with the crew tomorrow. I will talk to him then, and then you will talk to him about the rest."

"Well, okay."

Guo Fan nodded. Although Deng Chao's two films in succession were big hits, the salary would definitely increase, but the salary of a low-budget movie like 127 hours is usually lower.

The main reason is that we are all acquaintances, so this filming can save a lot of trouble.

The two films were almost settled, and they asked about Li Qian's next film.

"By the way, boss, what about you, when are you going to make the next movie?"

"I'm not in a hurry. I'll wait until the box office of the frequency of life and death exceeds [-] million, and then rest for a few days before preparing, and the Chinese New Year will be coming soon."

"Boss, do you already have an idea, what type? Do you still have suspense?"

"I think boss, you can continue to make sci-fi movies and make real sci-fi movies."

"It's a real sci-fi movie. Let's talk about it when the time comes. Let's not talk about it. I'm exhausted during this period. I'll go back and rest first. You guys are busy with your work."

Although they were all very curious, Li Qian had really worked hard before and after the movie was released, so they didn't ask.

Anyway, Li Qian is a fast shooter, shooting one movie after another, I guess he will know soon.

Leaving the studio, Tong Liya asked curiously, "Are you going to make a real sci-fi movie, like a Hollywood blockbuster?"

"How can I have that money?"

Li Qian shook his head, "Even if the frequency of life and death exceeds 2000 million at the box office, I will still be able to share less than [-] million. In addition, the original funds are far from enough to make a blockbuster movie. What's more, the sequel of Jaws will be brought to the big screen. The budget is lower than that of the first movie." It is much higher, and the special effects requirements for the big screen are not at the same level."

The special effects couldn't be simpler. After all, they are played on the computer screen, which is incomparable with the big screen.

For the same lens, if you want to meet the qualified standard, you can get hundreds of thousands at most, and it is not uncommon for the big screen to at least double it, or even ten times it.

"Is that the same as the frequency of life and death, mainly based on suspense?"

Tong Liya thought of Li Qian's past two films, Sniping a Phone Booth and Jaws, which were also full of suspense.

"It's also a small cost, but the difference is huge. At least this time it's a real sci-fi film, and the core is different."

Li Qian thought about the story, feeling a little sad, "The frequency of life and death is a heart-warming and healing story, but that story, on the contrary, is about loneliness and sadness."

"Lonely?"

Chapter 119 Worked for Li Qian (please subscribe!)

After returning to the capital, the next step is to complete the promotional procedures.

Although it has been released for 22 days, the box office of Life and Death Frequency is still strong.

On January 1, the first working day of the fifth week still won 21 million box office.

There is still no fresh blood in the film market, and the frequency of life and death has a box office of 110 million, and it has also occupied the daily box office champion for the eighth consecutive day.

It can be seen from this that the domestic film market is short of good films!

It can be said that the domestic film market has no shortage of actors, investment, or audiences, but directors who can make good movies.

It is still the Lunar New Year file, and the real Lunar New Year file is from the beginning of December to the nearly three months before the Spring Festival. Now that the Lunar New Year file has not passed, there is no film to show for a whole month.

Throughout January, up to now, only one Hong Kong horror film, False Love, has earned 600 million at the box office, and the Hong Kong movie Butterfly Fly has earned more than 500 million at the box office.

Twelve months of the year, at least one-third of the time, there are almost no movies to show in the cinema.

Seeing this situation, Li Qian really didn't know what to say.

There are too few domestic directors. The fourth generation of directors has retired. Although the fifth generation of directors is at its peak, Zhang Yimou is busy with the Olympics, and Cheng Kai is currently filming a biographical film Mei Lanfang.

Like Farewell My Concubine, it's all related to opera, so you can watch it at the box office when you have time.

As for the sixth generation of directors, you can skip it directly. In Ma Xiaogang's words, they have all gone underground and can't see the light.

It's a bit harsh, but that's what it means.

There is a gap in talent, and no one can make a good commercial director.

At this time, any director who can sell well is the target of the entire film industry.

The country also needs directors who can sell box office to develop the film industry in the Mainland.

The development of the industry does not rely on niche art films, not those art films for foreigners that show the "real" situation in China.

Art films are a type that is not lacking in any country in the world.
