my time as a director

Although this is a local habit, and it is not good to despise others, it is indeed unacceptable.

This hotel is run by Chinese. Many of these Chinese hotels in the embassy district are run by Chinese-funded enterprises in New Delhi, and they serve Chinese people who come to India on business trips.

50 dollars for a single room, including three meals authentic Chinese food, with Internet access, which is considered a very high standard for a crew, 300 yuan a night.

The room is not small, there is no problem for two or three people to live in one room, and it doesn’t cost much to shoot for a week.

They were very hungry, and quickly cleaned up the food. Xu Zheng leaned on the chair and picked his teeth with a toothpick.

Li Qian smiled and said, "Brother Zheng, if you pick your teeth a little more aggressively, you will look like Cheng Yong himself."

Xu Zheng chuckled, "Might be clear."

"By the way, Director Li, how did you come up with the scene at the beach this afternoon? I can even imagine the laughter of the audience in the movie theater. It's absolutely amazing."

"It's just a flash of inspiration. This scene is the beginning of Cheng Yong's change. Even if he was slashed by the Indians and raised money, he didn't feel reluctant. Instead, he was very happy, so that's it." Li Qian said.

"The main reason is that you acted well. In the mix of Chinese and English, say no, no, no...not dangerous, not dangerous, the tongue is hot and the mouth is stuttering, just like the real thing."

"I really stuttered." Xu Zheng said helplessly, "I didn't feel much about the words on the script. When it was filmed, the lines were really amazing. Director Li, your comedy skills are so strong, you can't do it without comedy." It's a pity, but it will definitely make a lot of people laugh."

"Comedy is not easy to shoot, especially popular comedy, it is even more difficult. It is too difficult to make it into a classic." Li Qian said.

Xu Zheng said with a smile, "This scene is so funny, I really look forward to Director Li making a comedy, how funny the whole movie will be."

"Maybe, maybe sometime I want to have fun and be happy." Li Qian smiled.

......

I just flew to India, slept for two or three hours, and then filmed for a whole day. The next day, Li Qian asked the crew to have a good rest to recharge their spirits, and the shooting started in the afternoon.

It's still an exterior scene, this time on a different street, and it's the scene of Cheng Yong's second visit to India.

I chose to shoot in the afternoon. When the crew is ready, it will probably be five or six o'clock, which is close to the evening.

At dusk, in line with the plot of the movie at that time, Lu Yiyi's life came to an end.

"Pay attention, let them all be careful, such a big fog."

"Cough cough..."

Li Qian was on the side of the road staring around the street, and almost choked when he spoke.

Near the evening, someone was spraying dense fog on the streets. This is insect repellent smoke. After all, India is a tropical country with a lot of mosquitoes. In the season, the streets and alleys will be dewormed.

"Ahem...boss."

Mu Ye held his nose and ran all the way to Li Qian's side.

"What's wrong?" Li Qian asked.

"Boss, you haven't been to India, aren't you familiar with this place? How do you know that India will eliminate insects on a large scale?" I only added it when I knew there was such a custom here.

"Have you and I heard about it?" Li Qian asked back.

"I have heard that, I have a heart to heart with you."

"Bah, bah, who's in love with you."

Li Qian had a vicious look on his face, "I'm talking about living together in a global village. The whole world is a village, how can you not know what's going on in the village? You can just check it online.

Dengue fever broke out in India every year, and large-scale insecticide was carried out across the country. At that time, our national government suspended the flight from India to China due to the consideration of epidemic prevention. Therefore, Cheng Yong failed to return home in time after buying the medicine, which indirectly caused Lu Benefit's condition further deteriorated and eventually ended his life. "

"Boss is really thoughtful." Makuno sighed.

"Also, is there any difference between the scene you saw and the street we photographed yesterday?" Li Qian asked, pointing to the foggy streets around him.

Makino thought for a while, "It's evening again, and the foggy ground feels like it lacks vitality. Yesterday we took the shot in the morning. The beginning of a new day, the sun is shining, does it imply hope?"

"That's right." Li Qian nodded, "It's just a comparison. Although the streets of Yindu yesterday were backward and dilapidated, people performed their duties, the streets were lively, and children were full of laughter, but now the streets are desolate. In contrast, the streets of Yindu, where Cheng Yong looked disgusted yesterday, are instead a paradise, a paradise, and this is hell."

Mu Ye listened carefully, taking notes in his heart, as if he was a studious person like Guo Fan.

But hearing Li Qian's comparison, the corners of his mouth still twitched, "Hell... Boss, your comparison is really strange."

"It's hell!"

Li Qian took it for granted, "It's not just a comparison, this scene also needs to show the atmosphere of death and decay, and it also tells the audience that since then, the plot has stopped laughing and laughing, and it has turned to gloom and death. Lu Yiyi and Huang Mao are alone. They died one by one."

"By the way, why does it feel almost meaningless?"

Li Qian thought about it, he was very satisfied with this shot, according to his thinking, this scene is enough to be called art.

However, when it comes to death and decay, it always feels like something is missing.

"Give me the storyboard."

"okay."

Mu Ye was stunned for a moment, and immediately turned to this page of the storyboard script that he carried with him, and handed it to Li Qian.

Looking at the drawing board on the storyboard script, each scene of this scene emerged in his mind, and Li Qian pondered in his heart.

"Death...death..."

I always felt that something was missing, and I looked at the street again. Several people were spraying smoke along the street.

"Bug spray..."

"correct!"

There was a flash of inspiration in Li Qian's eyes, and he said loudly, "What I said is that death is missing."

This rambled and shouted again, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

"It's missing death, hurry up and get some mosquitoes or something, and I'll add a close-up shot of the mosquitoes being killed later."

"But what about mosquitoes? Can they fly?" Mu Ye was a little puzzled.

Li Qian waved his hand, "Just get more, just capture a close-up shot, mobilize the Indians around, collect mosquitoes, live!"

"okay."

Collecting mosquitoes... Makuno took the order and went away in a daze, and it didn't take long for the surrounding streets to become lively.

Someone actually spent money to buy mosquitoes, which can be seen everywhere, and the Indians who watched the excitement immediately became a sensation, almost like picking up money.
