my time as a director

"Zhong Lei, you should keep an eye on these films. Let's learn from Li Qian. When the time comes, let Ma Xiaogang be the producer. If one of these new directors can sell well, it will be considered a success. "

Li Qian is famous, Ma Xiaogang is even more famous, Li Qian can be a producer, so can Ma Xiaogang.

It is not required to produce a few big-selling directors a year, as long as there is one, or even one can be discovered in two years, it will make a lot of money.

"Don't worry, brother, I will pay attention to the films of those newcomers." Huang Zhonglei nodded, and then said, "Brother, when he played with Teng Huatao two days ago, he said that he seemed to have the idea of ​​making a movie, you look?"

"He wants to make a movie? What type? Didn't The Age of Naked Marriage just finished filming?"

Huang Zhongjun frowned. Teng Huatao is different from other new directors. As the director who filmed the phenomenal TV series Snail House last year, he is the trump card of Huayang's TV drama business!

Making a TV series is less risky than making a movie and makes more money.

"I didn't say anything, I just listened to him and had that idea."

"If you want to make a movie, let him do it. It doesn't matter if you make a movie with a small cost of 300 or [-] million yuan." After thinking about it, Huang Zhongjun still didn't want to stop Teng Huatao from making a movie.

Which director doesn't want to make movies? Film directors and TV drama directors are two different levels. Teng Huatao has made phenomenal TV dramas at a young age. It's normal to have this idea.

If it succeeds, it would be great. A director who can sell the box office can create more wealth as a director of TV dramas.

It doesn't matter if you lose everything, it's only two or three million yuan, Huang Zhongjun doesn't mind this little money, and he just came back to film TV dramas obediently.

However, if Huang Zhongjun wanted to make a blockbuster movie out of a whim, it would be impossible for Huang Zhongjun to agree to it.

......

I Am a Legend has not been made a big hit, and its popularity is higher than any movie that is currently being released, and it has also allowed other companies to see the potential of this movie.

What's more, Li Qian revealed at the press conference that the cost of the movie was over [-] million.

8000 million production cost, 4000 million publicity, [-] million is less than [-] million, and it is possible to declare [-] million in a louder tone.

This [-] million yuan, no one suspects that there is moisture in it, after all, it is a blockbuster sci-fi movie of the end of the world.

Blockbuster movies are naturally attractive to audiences, not to mention Li Qian's movies with such attractive themes.

It was even said that during the Lunar New Year festival in December last year, four blockbuster films were beaten by Perfect World, and no one wants to meet Li Qian again during the Lunar New Year this year.

The investor Fang Yinghuang who made the bullets fly, the new picture of the love of the hawthorn tree, Bernard who is laughing all over the world, and the Moying Group who also invested in I am Legend and Zhao's Orphan, are all waiting for Han Sanping to fight with them before. Hello, sit down and discuss the schedule, don't touch and go together.

Those who lack confidence will worry about the schedule. Li Qian has never thought about the schedule from the beginning to the end. When the time comes, he will go to the best time, regardless of how many films he has.

The self-confidence of the strong does not need to pick opponents, because they are all the same

After the opening press conference, the shooting did not start in the afternoon, and there was no way to shoot.

After the press conference, the crew went back to the hotel to eat and rest. The next morning, they got up at [-] o'clock in the morning and arrived at the Oriental Pearl TV Tower early.

The sky was still pitch black, and even the hard-working office workers, except those who worked the night shift, were all asleep at this time.

However, the surrounding area of ​​the Oriental Pearl TV Tower was already brightly lit at this time. The multiple generator cars of the crew not only provided the lights needed for filming, but also lit up high-power bulbs to illuminate the more than 300 crew members who were busy.

"Quick, it must be ready before four o'clock, and everything is arranged according to the predetermined design."

Li Qian held a loudspeaker and urged him over and over again.

Before the filming started, it entered a state of emergency.

No rush, time is limited.

Prop cars wrapped in blue screens are placed in predetermined positions, and in post-production, they will become scrapped cars of all kinds, including private cars, trucks, and tanks.

There are a lot of scrapped family cars, but they have to be removed after shooting in the morning, and it is too troublesome to drag them back and forth tomorrow, so I simply use CG. It is not difficult for domestic special effects companies.

Dozens of employees are also checking the surrounding buildings that may enter the camera to prevent anything from getting out of the way.

The 24-hour traffic light at the entrance was also turned off.

Executive director Wen Muye, director of photography, art director, and special effects director were all busy directing the crew, while Li Qian came in front of Liu Ye.

Yuan Quan also came with Zhang Zifeng. Although they didn't have any scenes today, they still came to the scene on the first day of filming.

"Brother Ye, Sister Yuan Quan, during this period of time in Shanghai, we may have been upside down like this day and night, but in fact, we are not particularly busy. You keep in good condition. The crew is just you two actors, and your condition also determines the crew. status."

"Don't worry, Director Li. I looked at the schedule and basically shoot for a few hours every day. The main reason is that the day and night are reversed. We have no problem." Liu Ye said immediately.

Although the crew came at one o'clock in the morning, it took a long time to prepare. The actual filming today will not exceed four hours. After that, I will rush to the Magic City Film and Television Park in Songjiang District. It is also a relatively large film and television base in China. The studio there shoots some indoor scenes, and the work ends at [-]:[-] pm, which is enough for eight hours of sleep a day.

Eight hours of sleep time is already the best treatment. Even Yuan Quan, who has no role in the film, insists on coming to the set every day.

She said, "This is an apocalyptic movie. I want to come to the crew to experience the loneliness and desolation of the apocalypse."

On the other hand, little Zhang Zifeng was upset. He pursed his lips and looked up at Li Qian, "Uncle Li, there are obviously three actors, so don't I count?"

This cute little girl is quite courageous, and after chatting for a while on the day of the audition, she didn't admit her birth at all.

Liu Ye and Yuan Quan couldn't help laughing, they are both in their 30s, and ordinary people have married at this age, and they have no resistance to beautiful and cute children.

Especially Liu Ye whose wife is already pregnant, the more he looks cute and cute, the more he likes Zhang Zifeng, and he even thinks about what his child will look like when he was born.

He laughed and said, "Director Li, you can't discriminate against Zi Feng, who is also an actor in our movie."

"How could it be? Of course Zi Feng is an actor of our crew, and the three of you are the Three Great Diamonds, right?"

Li Qian couldn't help rubbing Zhang Zifeng's head as he spoke, it was easier to touch than Wu Lei's head with short hair.

No wonder so many people like to touch children's heads, just put them on.

However, basically all children don't like others to touch their heads, and Zhang Zifeng is no exception, he turned his head and avoided it all at once.

"Haha."

The little round face is full of anger, it's really cute.

However, even though he was only 9 years old, Li Qian recognized that Zhang Zifeng was the little girl in Detective Chinatown.

At the end of the movie, holding the book, the weird smile is really in contrast to the cute smile now.

Li Qian stopped teasing her, and turned to talk to Liu Ye about the play.

Chapter 234 Weird Loneliness

At dawn, the sky is getting brighter.

In such a huge city, many people also got up and prepared for a new busyness.

If you stand above the magic capital and overlook the whole city, you will find that the whole city is moving.
