my time as a director

Looking down at the mirror, the waist-high grass was slightly trembling by the breeze, and a big head appeared on the monitor, with a Type 95 rifle in his hand, and a big black back next to him.

This is borrowed from the police dog base of the Shanghai Municipal Public Security Bureau. Blackback itself is a very common police dog, which can be used for detection, patrol, tracking, drug detection, search and rescue, fighting and so on.

Liu Ye walked forward slowly step by step, and the black back had already passed him, so he kept a warning distance of three or four steps, constantly sniffing something on the ground.

There are no lines, and there can be no lines.

The camera slowly rises, and the iconic Oriental Pearl Tower gradually appears in the camera.

"Okay, let's go!"

There is no difficult shot, the core area of ​​the CBD is covered with one-meter-high weeds, the hero is holding a gun carefully, and walks in front of the dog who clears the way for the owner.

The scenes and shots of the whole movie, at first glance, are actually not difficult except for the special effects.

The perfect integration of the environment, character status, and story background is the main thing.

Then a deer hunting shot was taken.

It is not surprising that there are wild animals in the deserted metropolis.

As far as the magic capital is concerned, many large wild animals have been found in the outer areas.

In the past, there were roe deer in the capital city, which looked a bit like deer, not to mention that there was also a zoo in the capital city, so it was not uncommon for them to escape.

The sudden commotion aroused Liu Ye's vigilance, and he was relieved that he was not enough to follow up secretly. It was not a zombie.

Even if the sun hasn't set yet, theoretically it is impossible for zombies to come out, but in this environment, the human spirit is very sensitive, which is commonly known as a surprise.

Raise your gun, aim.

Suddenly, a lioness jumped out, bit the fawn's neck precisely, and struggled on the ground.

Liu Ye subconsciously wanted to shoot, but a more powerful lion beside the lion and a cub next to the lion interrupted his action.

Obviously, this is a family, and in a lion pride, the lioness is in charge of hunting.

In these last days, lions are also facing the problem of survival. The virus not only infects humans, but also infects animals.

Perhaps it was the lion family that reminded Liu Ye of his dead wife and child. In the end, he didn't shoot. He looked at his watch and saw that it was getting late. He watched his food being dragged away by the lion.

"Xiao Hei, let's go."

After saying hello, Liu Ye left from another direction.

Of course, both the lion and the deer are fake, so how can there be such an obedient lion to cooperate with the shooting.

On the first day of filming, everything went smoothly, and there was no difficulty in acting. One scene, four shots, Liu Ye only said one line, or for the dog to listen to.

The scene of the Oriental Pearl TV Tower was filmed for three days, but fortunately there was no overtime. After filming early in the morning, I packed it up for others, and then rushed to the studio of Shanghai Film and Television Park in the morning to shoot some bits and pieces of indoor scenes, and finished work in the afternoon.

Three days later, it was still early in the morning, and the crew came to Nanjing Road Commercial Street.

But today is Saturday, the weekend, and a large group of idle people came to watch, taking pictures with various mobile phones and cameras.

"Thank you for your support, and please don't get too close together. I hope everyone understands."

In the face of enthusiastic people eating melons, there is no other way but to ask the crew to block them with a human wall.

"Director Li, you guys still have a few more days to shoot in Shanghai, and where do you want to shoot?"

"Director Li, please sign for me."

"Why don't you destroy the magic capital and create an end to the world."

"Li Qian, do you want group performances, as long as you have a lunch box."

"Choose me. I haven't filmed a movie yet. I bring my own food."

"You are fighting a war, and you bring your own dry food. I just want a lunch box. I really want to taste what the crew's box lunch tastes like."

"Are there chicken legs in the box lunch?"

"Haha."

.....

As he spoke, the onlookers burst into laughter.

The corner of Li Qian's mouth twitched, this group of people didn't rest on weekends, and they would be tired if they didn't want to go to work on Monday.

After instructing his staff to be careful not to let people rush into the end when the filming started, Li Qian came to Liu Ye.

"Brother Ye, what do you think of this scene of chatting with a dummy, do you have any ideas?"

"No problem, but I'm a more lively and enthusiastic person. This character is introverted and not good at speaking. Every time I try to chat with a dog or a dummy, I can't complete the chat." Liu Ye said.

The hardest part of filming is always playing someone completely different from yourself.

It's easy to play yourself.

Li Qian shook his head, "Personality is only one aspect. The most important thing is the environment, because no one can talk to you. Knowing that no matter what you say no one can answer, not only being introverted, you have to show loneliness."

The word loneliness runs through the whole film.

When there is only one person left in the empty world, loneliness is no easier to accept than the Didi alarm clock before dark, and the tension and oppression brought by the night on the edge of the city.So when the male protagonist is looking for other survivors on the radio, and saying "you are not alone" over and over again, he is more talking to himself and comforting himself.

Liu Yeruo realized something, "Actually, I know that no matter what I say, I won't get a response, and I have to forcibly strike up a conversation with a dummy, causing the embarrassment that I can't continue the conversation. It's not because of my personality, but because I know that I won't get any response." Respond, we still have to talk."

"Almost right." Li Qian nodded, and his words were a bit convoluted, but that's what he meant.

The time was tight and the task was urgent. Li Qian did it when the executive director was supposed to give a lecture to the actors.

Talking about the play here, the prop team filled the entire Nanjing Road with various prop cars wrapped in blue curtains, and continued to arrange the scene.

Looking at the blue prop cars on the scene, the crowd who eat melons felt a little novel.

When the props group walked into one of the stores with clothed dummies in their arms, and placed two at the door, the onlookers were puzzled.

"What is this for? I think the store inside seems to be converted into a bookstore or something. What are you doing with some dummy models?"

"There are men, women, and children in these dummies."

"Isn't this using a dummy to play a zombie? Some people can't move after becoming a zombie?"

"Speaking of which, I don't know what the zombies look like in this movie, so it won't be like this."

"It's hard to say, Zongju's pissy sex will definitely not allow too bloody."
