my time as a director

Too expensive and difficult.

However, this problem can be ignored for large-scale productions. In terms of the production cost of seven to eight hundred million, this million is not a problem at all.

国内的胶片电影，配片比都在1:81:15之间，想达到1：8都不容易。

Even in the Hollywood film industry system, the normal film distribution ratio is as high as 1:20.

That is, for a 90-minute movie, 1800 minutes of film must be prepared.

Qi Yukun and Guo Fan were at most half buckets of water, silently calculating these figures in their hearts, and looking at Li Qian in a daze.

The only one present here is Zhang Zhonghua, who made several film films when he was in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Film Studios. He roughly summed it up in his mind, and it was almost the same number.

However, he also said, "But what about the production crew? The impromptu production crew may not even be able to reach the 15-part ratio by then, let alone the [-]-day filming, and the cost may double."

"It depends on you, Old Zhang."

Li Qian smiled, "There are dozens of film studios in China, large and small, and they are basically no different from closing down now. Jiangsu and Zhejiang are similar. Lao Zhang, see if you can find your old colleagues."

"At least get me a mirror operator, two follow focusers, and two lighting masters."

Unexpectedly, it fell on him, Zhang Zhonghua shook his head with a wry smile.

However, the studio can't open a few times throughout the year, and those people basically go out to pick up jobs. It's not difficult to find two people to come over, so they agreed.

"Then let me try."

"Troublesome old Zhang."

For film movies, the requirements for photographers and lighting masters are too great, and even the technical level of the focus personnel is not enough, which will add huge difficulties to the crew.

Film cameras are not like digital cameras, and the on-site director can see the shooting effect through the monitor.

As for the film machine, it has to be sent to be developed and printed on the same day, and after the printing is finished, the director will know the effect of the shooting.

For problems such as lens and lighting, it requires the skills of two masters.

Whether the lens is good or bad, and how the lighting is, only the photographer can see through the viewfinder.

Of course, it doesn’t mean that film movies don’t have monitors. The monitor screen of a film camera comes from the 2-inch small monitor that comes with the camera for the focus personnel to check the screen, and then connects to the 17-inch large monitor. .

But the picture on this monitor is very blurry. After all, the two-inch screen is enlarged to a large 17-inch monitor, so we can only judge the opening angle and watch the approximate performance of the actors.

The final imaging can only be viewed as the finished film that has been developed and printed. It will be sent for cleaning on the same day of shooting, and if there is a problem, it will be re-shot.

Therefore, often at the shooting scene, the director has to ask the photographer after the shooting, and the photographer only says OK.

Otherwise, it would be easier for an excellent photographer to turn into a director than any other position.

There is Zhang Yimou in the distance, and Gu Changwei in the near. From a first-class photographer to a first-class director, they can make a seamless transition.

Photographers and lighting masters who are not good enough can even drag the two-month shooting cycle to three months, and make the 1:8 film matching ratio into 1:15.

These two positions are no problem, basically the crew is much easier to handle.

Of course, film movies and digital movies have different requirements for actors.

But actors are easy to deal with. Mainland actors, especially first- and second-tier male actors, are very cheap.

This is all determined by the relationship between supply and demand. There are too many actors and too few commercial films. Even if it is a first-line male actor, it is difficult to get a leading actor in a commercial film with a cost of tens of millions throughout the year.

There are plenty of TV dramas, low-budget art films, and pseudo-art films. You can take as many as you want.

Therefore, the production cost of Li Qian's film plus Guangxian's advance payment for publicity and distribution costs is a commercial film with a total cost of about tens of millions.

Coupled with Guangxian's announcement, Li Qian himself has proved his ability through two classic online dramas, and he can basically choose any actor.

It won't be like Li Guangjie, it depends on whether the other party is willing or not.

Now that I have a reputation, a big publicity company, and commercial films worth tens of millions, the first-line actors have to take the initiative to come to the door.

After all, not to mention big productions with over [-] million yuan, mid-level productions are basically covered by Xiangjiang's actors.

Look at last year, Golden Armor, Night Banquet, Baby Project, Huocheng, Huo Yuanjia, Dragon Tiger Gate, Mo Gong, these domestic films with a box office of more than 2000 million, except for Uncle Ge and Li Lianjie, none of them had a male lead. Mainland actor.

By the way, Crazy Stone and Yun Shui Yao are exceptions. The latter is starring Chen Kun, and the box office of 3000 million was exchanged for 500 million.

Last year was even worse, there was none.

Mainland Mesozoic male actors don't have many opportunities on the big screen.

The crew is fine, the production cost of 700 million will be enough.

There is no problem with actors, there are many people for Li Qian to choose from.

There is nothing wrong with Xuanfa Youguang's envy.

After eliminating all kinds of difficulties, Li Qian can then retreat and write the script with peace of mind.

Other problems were gradually discovered and resolved during shooting.

Even, Li Qian has heard that there are some very strict production crews in Hollywood. Before going to a location, they have to know the weather conditions at this time in previous years in advance, and record the light conditions at each time period under different weather conditions.

Chapter 79 "Black Hole Frequency" (Please recommend tickets!)

The first theatrical movie, I chose to shoot on film, and there was no other reason.

If you can use film, you don't need a digital camera.

The two are presented on the big screen with completely different aesthetics.

Most of the movies in Li Qian's mind that have not yet appeared in reality are shot by digital cameras.

Perhaps with the development of technology, digital photography will completely replace film cameras in the next few years.

But at least, not yet.

Moreover, there are about 3300 screens in China, of which 2600 are film screens, and only 700 are digital screens.

These 700 digital screens are basically movie theaters in remote areas, and they are all small halls.

Digital movies, after magnetic transfer, are made into film copies and projected on film screens, and the effect will be much worse than film movies.

The only advantage of digital movies over film movies is that they are cheap and convenient.

In Mirijian, many TV dramas are shot on film, even better than some domestic movies.
