my time as a director

"Moreover, crabs are edible. Imagine that you often eat crabs of the same kind. And one day it will eat yours in front of your eyes. How would you feel."

"Besides, it's easier to put crabs. I also specially asked them to pick smaller crabs and crawl and gnaw on the residual limbs densely. The effect will not be bad."

Scenes where people see their own kind being eaten by other animals are not uncommon in thriller and horror films, and they are also essential shots.

This is also the first terrifying scene at the beginning of the great white shark, and its importance is self-evident.

It took more than half an hour for the prop team to arrange the scene properly.

And Li Guangjie and the two extras have finished their makeup and are ready.

After everything was prepared, Li Qian didn't pour any chicken soup into the staff.

The shooting time for the group was less than half a month. I don’t want the film to be half a year long. The long-term continuous work can easily make people physically and psychologically exhausted. At that time, I would pour chicken soup from time to time and give some material rewards. All are necessary.

In less than half a month, before they had any emotional problems, the filming was finished.

After a few brief sentences, the routine technical and effect experiments began.

However, just like shooting the sniper phone booth, the effect experiment went wrong.

"After the close-up of this hand, the fake is a bit too much."

After the effect experiment, the entire crew gathered around the arm buried in the sand.

The head of the props team quickly explained, "Director Li, this hand is already very delicate, but it won't stand up to the two-second close-up if it's naked."

Li Guangjie next to him said, "Since it's naked, don't make it so complete, just put some blood on it."

You know a hammer!

The head of the props team cursed inwardly, but he didn't try to refute, who made him the hero.

"It's not about props."

Li Qian shook his head. This is not as good as movies, especially big productions. A slightly more important prop is tens of thousands of 10,000+.

The cost of the Great White Shark is 110 million after adding up the 160 million special effects costs, and the rest is mainly spent on the studio, after all, a prop ship has to be built.

If there is not enough cost, how to make more realistic props is almost the same as cutting off the hands of the props team leader.

However, Li Qian still answered Li Guangjie's question, "It's true that making this arm bloody and bloody looks more real, but a pile of rotten meat will have no effect."

"A complete arm, although not so bloody, but the visual impact is far less intense than the psychological impact."

Li Guangjie was thoughtful. Hollywood bloody horror movies are indeed not as scary as neon horror movies. It's just watching horror. After watching it, I don't feel at all.

As for the classic neon horror films, that comes from mental damage.

However, can Li Qian make the effect of a neon thriller horror movie?

Although Li Qian's sniping phone booth is an excellent suspense film above the standard, but he is a few years younger than himself after all, Li Guangjie is still somewhat uncertain in his heart.

Li Qian didn't know about Li Guangjie's inner activities, but even if he knew, he wouldn't care.

Many industries lack confidence in young people, such as doctors, the older patients are, the more trust they have. On the contrary, it is difficult for a young boy to gain the trust of patients, especially for serious diseases.

Everyone studied this arm for half an hour. No matter how it was changed, they couldn't make it look the same as the real thing in a close-up.

The crabs on and around the arm began to scatter slowly. After all, it was a prosthetic hand and they didn't eat it.

"Catch the crabs, don't let them get away."

Li Qian trampled to death a small crab that crawled up to his feet, and gave instructions to several field workers.

Everyone hurriedly grabbed the crabs.

"How to do it, so that the prop hand is the same as the original version, and even the lines on the fingers are clear under the close-up lens."

"It's exactly the same as the real hand!"

Li Qian began to feel a little anxious, and it was a bad start again.

Last time, Lei Jiayin's head was too big

However, thinking of Lei Jiayin's big head, Li Qian glanced at Li Guangjie who also had a big face.

Fortunately, he has a long face, which does not affect his photogenic appearance.

Li Guangjie, who was also thinking at the side, spotted Li Qian looking at him from the corner of his eye, and turned his head slightly.

But Li Qian didn't look at him again at this time, making him baffled.

"Why does the original version look exactly the same as the real one? It's more real than the real one!"

Li Qian was thinking hard, and suddenly he had an inspiration, and his eyes lit up.

"That's right, it's a real hand!"

With a loud shout, Li Qian said to several workers, "Lend me one of your hands."

Ask for a recommendation ticket!

Chapter 41

How to make fake things become as real as real ones?

The best answer is to replace the fake with the real one.

Since the fake hand is too fake, then change to the real one.

Li Qian smiled and looked at the workers around him, "Who among you sacrifices for art, borrow your hand."

Everyone was stunned, can they borrow their hands?

Although he knew that it was impossible for Li Qian to let them chop off his hand for filming, he still turned his back involuntarily and clasped his hands tightly.

"Director Li, what do you mean?" Guo Fan seemed to understand.

"Look at you all scared, can I still cut off your hands?"

Seeing their expressions, Li Qian was speechless for a while.

"Come and bury someone in the sand and expose your hand. The real hand will never be fake!"

Looking around, asked, "Who are you coming?"

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, just now Li Qian said to use his hand, it was really scary.
