my time as a director

It has been online for more than 20 days, and the single-day box office has almost fallen below [-], and it is still dropping sharply every day. It is estimated that it will stop here.

The topic of not counting movies that has been debated before has long since lost its voice. The topic is not enough, and it cannot be hyped.

There are more and more comments on the sniper phone booth. There are mixed reviews. Some say it's boring, and they fell asleep after reading it halfway.

Some scolded the police in the movie for lowering their wits, and some said that the murderer was throwing money. They brought this sniper rifle at the scene of the crime and exposed their true colors.

There is also a serious discussion of good and evil, the status quo of society, and the mode of getting along with each other.

There are all kinds of people, but generally there are only a few types of people.

A type of ordinary audience who can only say good or bad, a type of criticizing, and a type with philosophers.

The box office was fixed at more than 500 million, and there were still ten days before the settlement. The sniping of the phone booth was over.

......

On a new day, Li Qian came to the studio with the script, ready to start the next stage of work.

It's just that there are more people this time, and the special effects director sent by Base FX has officially joined the team.

"Let me introduce to you, this is Liu Jinhui, the special effects director of our Great White Shark crew. He is also one of the earliest experts in the special effects industry in China. through visual design."

Everyone sat down one by one, and Li Qian introduced Zhang Zhonghua, Qi Yukun and Guo Fan respectively.

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Li Qian started to talk about business.

"Now the crew's general shelf has been set up, the underwater studio has been found, and the construction will start immediately. Various props are already being customized, and the special effects side has also completed data collection and is modeling.

I will first write out the storyboard of the 3-minute shot of the shark as soon as possible, and then Lao Guo and Liu will guide us to draw the picture, so as not to waste the time on the special effects side. "

There are two formats of shot scripts: text and storyboard. In Hollywood, almost every movie will have a dedicated storyboard production team.From the early silent films to the current blockbusters, the production of storyboards is a necessary part of the early stage of film preparation.

In China, except for major productions that hire professional storytellers, directors usually draw if they can draw, and photographers if they can’t draw, or art directors draw. .

The last sniper phone booth only had text storyboards and no storyboards. The main reason is that the text storyboards were enough, so it didn’t need to be so troublesome.

The 90's talk about drawing a storyboard, and there is no text storyboard.

After the storyboard is drawn, shoot according to it when shooting. If there is any problem, it can be changed temporarily, and the effect of the shooting can be known in advance.

In addition to large-scale productions in China, action movies and martial arts movies also need to draw storyboards. After all, moves need to be set. Drawing them on the map is more intuitive, and actors can practice better.

In the movie Jaws, Li Qian did not intend to draw a storyboard, except for the 3-minute shark scene.

For example, when a shark hits the hull, the direction and angle of the impact are set in advance. The special effects company needs to simulate it on the computer with a picture to determine a series of data. After all, special effects are very complicated things.

The shark hits the ship with different parts, from different directions, and at different angles, resulting in different tilting directions and angles of the ship.

There is also the movement of the shark after the impact, and the splashes that are brought up and splashed all need to be simulated and calculated repeatedly.

Of course, it is slightly less strict, after all, it is not the big screen.

Arranging things one by one, the crew itself is not big, there is nothing difficult except for the scenes and special effects, the executive director Qi Yukun is enough to arrange, Li Qian just asks occasionally, he has to be busy with his own business.

"The other thing is the actor. Although the shark is the main character, the male lead can't be sloppy. Do you have any suitable candidates?"

Li Qian asked everyone, in fact, many actors in their thirties in the mainland can act, but it is difficult to recruit those who are a bit famous, and it is hard to think of a few candidates for those who are not famous.

Actor?

Qi Yukun thought for a while, and suggested, "How about Duan Yihong, he looks tough, and his acting skills are not bad. It should be no problem to act out the feeling of being forced to conceal the incident of shark attacks against humans under pressure from all sides."

Li Qian shook his head, "The appearance is too hard, and this kind of person seems to be against social compromise, and he just starred in a 4000 million production of love has an afterlife, and because of the sudden fire of soldiers, please come here Not big."

"As for Zhang Yi, he has only filmed a soldier assault, so the salary should not be too expensive."

"I think Liao Fan who plays the cuckold is fine."

"I think Li Guangjie is very suitable. I noticed him when he first acted in the Republic of China. He seems to have just made a movie and it hasn't been released yet. The salary should be affordable."

......

Everyone mentioned seven or eight male actors in their thirties, all of whom were well-known.

That's right, no one knows who is not famous.

Except for superstar-level actors in the film and television industry, the pay for movies is usually much lower than the pay for TV dramas.

First-tier youngsters like Deng Chao, Lu Yi, Huang Xiaoming, and Chen Kun were quoted as 100 million yuan for their film production, but in fact most of them were between 5080 million yuan.

It is not easy for young first-line actors to make movies, and some are also supporting roles, and the price cannot be afforded at all.

As for those third-tier actors who are somewhat famous, their salaries will be lower after the filming, and they can find a lot of them within [-] yuan.

Of course, it must be much more expensive than an amateur like Lei Jiayin, but now that the funds are abundant, a salary of tens of thousands of yuan is still acceptable, it depends on whether they are willing to shoot.

Ask for a recommendation ticket!

Chapter 36 Li Guangjie (please recommend tickets!)

"Director Li."

After the meeting was over, Li Qian was about to inquire about the contact information of those actors and confirm the actors as soon as possible, but Guo Fan stopped him.

"Old Guo, what else do you want?" Li Qian asked.

"A few days ago, you directly rejected Huayang Media, and you didn't even see Mr. Zhang. Will there be any trouble?"

Guo Fan hesitated for a moment, but still expressed his worries.

A week ago, Li Qian directly rejected Huayang Media's solicitation on the phone, and even a deputy director of the production department of the other party came in person, but Li Qian didn't come out to meet.

In Guo Fan's perception, although Li Qian was young, a few years younger than him, he was very mature in his actions, and he was also smooth and seldom impulsive. Everyone came for no reason that day, and he didn't see a single person.

After thinking for a long time, Guo Fan could only think of one possibility, what happened to Huayang Media last time.

Li Qian said disapprovingly, "It's just a vice president of the production department. It's no big deal. Besides, I'm busy writing scripts. I can't come to someone who wants to see me. I have to put down my work and go see him. There's no need to be in such a hurry." .”

When he was in college, the handsome and talented Li Qian was often chased by girls. He once rejected a very beautiful girl who confessed to her, but two days later, someone even started to fight for that girl.

I just rejected the other party, as if it had become something outrageous, yet someone called me a scumbag, my brain circuit is really strange.

"Actually, Penguin Video, Tomato Video, Bernard, and Light have all contacted me in the past few days, and I only met the person from Penguin Video, who happened to be out for lunch."

Guo Fan was also relieved to hear that Huayang Media was not only rejected because of his own business.

Although he felt inexplicably relieved when he saw the other party being shut down that day and walked away with a displeased face, Guo Fan didn't want Li Qian to offend the largest private film and television company in China because of his own incident.
