my time as a director

The new film was launched, but this time it was not as loud as the previous two launches, and the discussion was much quieter.

There is really no useful information coming out, and there is no direction to discuss.

Comedy, brainstorming, inspirational, this can be discussed with a hammer.

Just scolding incompetent reporters.

The reporters were also helpless. They couldn't ask anything, and they couldn't help it. They couldn't tie Li Qian up and torture him.

Even if you want to do that, you have no chance.

You can't let them be led astray at the beginning, and report in the direction of the rich family's grievances, it's almost like running the train with your mouth full.

However, there are two old people who watched Truman grow up, as well as Truman's parents, first love girlfriend and wife.

No matter how you look at it, it looks like an emotional movie. Maybe Truman is not his own?

First love girlfriend is actually the daughter of biological parents?

That's not right either, Jin Shijie and Wang Deshun are both old actors, not a male and a female configuration.

Could it be more complicated?

"wipe!"

Lu Chao in the hotel thought hard all night yesterday, and couldn't think of any reason from the existing information.

As a loyal fan of Li Qian and an entertainment reporter specializing in Xinlang News, Lu Chao didn't allow his information to be so lagging, so he changed into a less eye-catching outfit, took a taxi and went straight to Huazhong Film and Television Base, wanting to find out.

And many eyes in the industry are also on the official launch of "The Truman Show". With this launch, major companies have also felt more pressure and sense of urgency.

At the same time, the attention to movies is no less than that of movie fans.

Huang Zhongjun tried to flank Li Qian with two heavyweight blockbusters "Zodiac" and "[-]". The biggest reason is that this is a comedy.

Comedy requires talent, not only for directors, but also for actors.

As far as comedy is concerned, Ma Xiaogang obviously has the right to speak. Huang Zhongjun believes what he said. Li Qian does not have enough life experience to make any classics, at most it is a good comedy film.

And Ma Xiaogang, who was on the Chongqing studio, also heard that Li Qian's new comedy film has started.

Although Ma Xiaogang, a self-proclaimed comedy master, didn't think Li Qian could make any good comedies, he still asked, "What aspect is it about?"

"I didn't say that, it's inspirational comedy, and it's more about brain hole and creativity."

"Brain hole?"

Ma Xiaogang smiled disdainfully, this is what Li Qian has always been good at, and he also admitted that Li Qian is better at being a young man in terms of creativity.

But what is comedy?

It relies on the story and core to resonate with the audience and make them laugh from the bottom of their hearts. Creativity is not fundamental.

Ma Xiaogang felt more at ease when he still made comedies with the mentality of making other movies before.

With a big wave of his hand, he energetically let the crew who had only rested for 2 minutes continue to work, "Okay, the rest is almost over, get ready and continue!"

Another comedy master, Zhou Xingchi is also watching the news about Li Qian's new movie at this time.

As the best comedian and director in China, Zhou Xingchi is very interested in Li Qian, a director who makes realistic movies with a sales of 16 billion, but switches to comedies.

However, he was disappointed. There was no useful information on the news, and he still didn't know anything until now.

Shaking his head with some pity, Zhou Xingchi continued to be busy with his work.

There should not be too many directors paying attention to Li Qian's new film. Almost no director will not pay attention to the new film of 16 billion directors.

Much to everyone's disappointment, though, they don't know anything about the film so far.

Li Qian, who is in the center of the industry, knows nothing about the concerns of the outside world. For the sake of the viewing effect at that time, the necessary secrecy is still needed.

After the opening press conference, Li Qian was not too busy to start filming, this time there was enough time, and the construction progress of the location may not be able to keep up with the filming progress.

At the very least, people from all over the city searched for Truman's shots at night. The big panorama will definitely have to wait until the project is finished here before shooting.

In the evening, I continued to meet with the main creators to discuss the subsequent shooting.

The difficulty of shooting this time is actually not small. The biggest difficulty is the lens besides Deng Chao's performance.

There will be a large number of shots from the monitor in the movie, allowing the audience to enjoy the movie from the perspective of the camera in the show, which can better reflect the reality of the story and also show that Truman lives in an unreal world.

In the finished film, many of these shots will be slightly blocked at the four corners to highlight the sense of reality.

Panorama, telephoto, medium-range, close-up, close-up, almost every kind of lens is used in the whole film, and the scene scheduling and shot scheduling are complex and changeable.

However, standing on the shoulders of giants, all this has been infinitely simplified. This time, in addition to the storyboard script, more than one-third of the shots have been drawn with storyboards, and sufficient preparations have been made.

The crew was ready to go, and started work after breakfast the next morning.

A crew of 200 people, as well as extras of more than 300 people, gathered in the square in the center of Huazhong Film and Television Base.

There are a lot of extras in the movie, and the extras play the role of the extras in the movie, but there is no need to reveal anything to them, just clarify what to do.

And for some group performances that have repeatedly left the country, some professional actors have been hired in Jiangning Drama Theater and various theaters, which is equivalent to following a group of actors.

On the first day, the scene where Truman went to work was filmed at the beginning. The square in the center of the small town and its surroundings had been decorated with a sense of life before Li Qian came.

There are various storefronts on the roadside, there are many street vendors, all kinds of people and vehicles are ready.

As the executive director, Guo Fan, with seven or eight assistant directors, is explaining the next scene to the group performers.

Li Qian was also teaching Deng Chao, "Brother Chao, remember what I told you before, the various qualities of Truman are enough, kindness, politeness, enthusiasm, intelligence, nostalgia, cowardice, timidity, No assertiveness, different occasions and time periods, appropriately display the characteristics that should be possessed."

"I understand that when Truman had no doubts at the beginning, life was carefree, kindness, politeness, enthusiasm, and cheerfulness were the key points...

Deng Chao nodded. After such a long time of research, he found that he and Truman also have some similarities. He has the advantages of Truman, but his shortcomings are not small. He is quite courageous, but sometimes he also has a cowardly side.

"There is nothing difficult in this scene. The steps are brisk, and there is a sincere smile on the face all the time. When meeting people, they are very casual and enthusiastic, just like friends for many years."

Deng Chao received the script at the beginning of December, and now in mid-April, more than five months later, he should have understood it thoroughly. Li Qian briefly explained it.

There are more group performances, and the preparation time is also longer.

After arranging for the group actors to move around, and tried the audition, almost an hour passed.

Guo Fan raised the loudspeaker, glanced at it, and announced loudly, "Okay, the irrelevant personnel leave the venue."

"Scene five, one shot at a time!"
