my time as a director

Li Qian chuckled, it's not that simple.

Watching a movie casually, Li Qian can interpret different meanings from various angles, which is enough to write several papers, not to mention the script he wrote, he can understand it however he wants.

Li Qian immediately said, "The protagonist in the movie is a complex of contradictions, and at the same time is a person with great personal heroism."

"The contradiction is that the hero wants to kill sharks the most, but he is most afraid of water. The conflict between what he wants to do the most and what he fears the most will make the story more exciting and the character more fulfilling."

"When the shark attacked humans for the first time, the actor, as the captain of the security, suggested closing the beach, but the owner of the seaside resort disagreed for the sake of profit. This is a contradiction in the face of leadership. He has children and needs to support his family."

"And the hero's hometown is a small village next to the seaside resort. The small village also benefits a lot from the tourists in the seaside resort. Once the resort is closed, there will be news of sharks. Not only will the resort want to When it’s over, the whole village will lose its biggest source of income, and the protagonist will also be hated by the whole village, who will regard him as a sinner.”

"On one side is work and the hometown where he was born and raised, and on the other is a sense of justice and social responsibility as an ordinary person, which is another layer of conflict."

"It is true that after a shark kills a person, the suspense of waiting for its next kill is very attractive to the audience, but how the male protagonist chooses among multiple contradictions is also the most attractive to the audience."

"At the same time, the time background in the movie is that before the prime time for summer vacation travel is approaching, this scourge must be solved before tourists flock to it. With this urgency, the audience will expect the protagonist to become a superhero and kill all evil people. Sharks, how does the protagonist who is afraid of water kill the sharks?"

"After the male lead gets rid of all the contradictions and difficulties, this role is sublimated, and finally kills the shark, which is the biggest climax!"

.......

Listening to Li Qian's comprehensive analysis of the male lead, Li Guangjie was taken aback for a while.

That's it!

Not only the shark, but the leading actor is equally attractive!

Seeing Li Guangjie's expression, Li Qian smiled inwardly.

Lu Xun's words can make Chinese textbooks explain, not to mention a 70-minute feature film.

As the film's creator, Li Qian knows the film better than anyone else, and he can explain it any way he wants.

Anyway, I wrote it myself, and the final interpretation is in my own hands.

However, Li Qian added another sentence, "However, a good movie is not told or written, but performed. Whether you can play this leading actor well depends on your own performance."

If the male protagonist in the final movie is not as good as Shark, and the audience will go to see Shark and ignore the protagonist, then it is because you did not act well, not because there is a problem with the script.

Li Guangjie didn't know what Li Qian meant, he just felt that what Li Qian said made sense.

At the same time, it is also a challenge to see whether the actor can play a better role than the shark.

Looking forward to completing this challenge to overtake the fearsome shark in the movie and become the most watched character in the movie!

Moreover, he had heard that Li Qian had already entered the attention of several film companies, so this movie would definitely be noticed by several major film companies.

Li Guangjie, who made his debut as a classic drama like the Republic, has filmed several TV dramas with the male lead. Now, Li Guangjie wants to transform into a film actor.

With Li Qian's movie, and Gu Changwei's new movie Lichun, which will be released in Lichun next year, is also the number one male. Not surprisingly, a smooth transformation into a movie actor is just around the corner.

The next thing is to discuss salary and treatment with the agent.

Li Guangjie was not an amateur like Lei Jiayin, so the contract was a bit troublesome.

Various terms, accommodation treatment, food treatment, travel treatment...etc.

In terms of remuneration, a total of 8 yuan, the schedule was signed for [-] days.

Fortunately, Lichun hasn't been released yet, otherwise the movie would be much more expensive if it received a good response.

Now it can only be regarded as a newcomer on the big screen. After all, Chen Kun, a first-line niche who has starred in movies, is paid only 80 million yuan, and the [-]-day schedule is several times shorter than the two to three months of theater movies.

After confirming the rules and regulations, the two parties signed their names on it.

Li Guangjie thought for a while, then asked another question, "Director Li, can I ask why you asked me to play this role?"

"Because of your face."

Li Qian said with a smile, "In the movie, the male protagonist has to face conflicts in various aspects, and it is difficult to make a choice. Your face with a bit of bitterness is the most suitable."

Li Guangjie was silent and speechless, what is a distressed look, he is obviously a melancholy handsome guy.

After signing the contract, Li Guangjie still had filming in the crew, so Li Qian didn't stay much longer.

After successfully confirming the male lead, Li Qian felt much more relaxed, and the other roles were much easier to handle.

As for when the final movie was finished, Li Guangjie found that he was not as brilliant as Li Qian said, and was completely overshadowed by the shark, so it was none of Li Qian's business.

It's not that your role is not good, it's just that you didn't play it well!

Blame me?

Ask for a recommendation ticket!

Chapter 38 Lao Pan (please recommend tickets!)

After the male lead was determined, the other roles did not have too many requirements, so Li Qian handed it over to Qi Yukun, and it was enough to make the final decision by himself.

In the next two days, Li Qian, Guo Fan, and special effects director Liu Jinhui completed the sub-shots and storyboards of the 3-minute shot of the shark, and sent them to the special effects company.

In addition to writing the storyboard script, I occasionally go to the studio to check the progress.

In the past few days, Li Qian didn't stay at home every day, and moved the office back to the studio. After all, Li Qian had to make up many decisions for the entire crew, big or small.

On this day, Li Qian was writing storyboards as usual, and an acquaintance came to the studio.

"Old Pan, what brought you here, I don't want to shoot weddings now."

Li Qian asked Pan Lei to sit down. He opened a wedding company in Donghua, known as Donghua's "King of Weddings". Last year, he organized 137 weddings and had business contacts with Li Qian.

The chubby Pan Lei smiled and said, "Mr. Li... no, I should be called Director Li now. I didn't expect you to make your own movie so quickly, and it sold for 500 million at the box office." .”

As the king of East China weddings, Pan Lei has worked with many photography studios, and many of them dream of becoming a director and making movies for the big screen.

However, only Li Qian realized the rhetoric at the time and achieved such success.

It's only been a little over half a year. Pan Lei still couldn't believe it when he first heard that the director who sniped the phone booth was called Li Qian.

Li Qian shook his head, "Old Pan, you don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, just tell me if you have anything to say, don't be polite to me."

The two were considered friends, and Pan Lei directly explained the purpose of coming, "I heard that you are preparing a new movie. If you have any suitable roles, you might as well consider me."

"Old Pan, why do you suddenly want to act?"

Li Qian was a little different, "As far as your current company's business is concerned, there are hundreds of weddings a year, which is no more profitable than filming."

A good boss is not a good boss, so he ran to be an actor.
