my time as a director

As the sequel of the phenomenal Internet Great White Shark, and this is Li Qian's previous work, the conference is much bigger than the original press conference of Frequency of Life and Death.

However, the protagonist of today's press conference is not the director Qi Yukun, but Li Qian himself.

The main question from the reporters was why Li Qian didn't direct himself, and his new film.

There is no need to reveal the new movie now, and Li Qian doesn't know anything about it.

A few days later, 127 Hours also started, but this movie was much more low-key, and Li Qian was not present either.

It's too early to be released, and the publicity is too wasteful now.

When two movies started in succession, ordinary people don't know the situation, but insiders know it all.

There are mixed reactions to Li Qian investing in movies for his two assistants.

Some people feel that it is too risky to waste the reputation of the sequel of Jaws and hand it over to a newcomer.

As for 127 when I was a child, let alone Jaws: Vengeance has the first film as a base, and the cost is not high, so I won’t lose money no matter what.

127 hours is not a sequel, even if it is a low-budget movie, plus Deng Chao, who just became popular, it should not lose money, but throwing such a few million to an executive and an assistant director makes people in the circle scoff. Treat the director as a child's play.

.......

However, Li Qian couldn't hear the industry's comments on him, so he didn't go out except for taking time to attend the press conference of Jaws: Revenge.

On March 3, it took 12 days for Li Qian to complete the script of the moon.

The whole is basically unchanged, retaining the core elements of the original.

The loneliness that runs through the whole film, the unilateral love and family affection in the first two-thirds, and the two sympathetic clones in the second two-thirds help and understand each other, and support each other on this moon hundreds of thousands of kilometers away from the earth. Help each other, give up your own life.

Of course, there is also the robot, who is also a character throughout the film. He has the same emotions as people, and can express his emotions through simple expressions such as smiling faces and frowning.

As a robot programmed by human beings, there is nothing they can do about it, and they can only helplessly conceal the truth.

In the end, the robot reminded the clones that they had recorded their actions, and it would be dangerous for humans to view them, so he proposed to format himself and shut down, and then restart automatically.

Robots and clones can achieve self-sacrifice, which can be regarded as an irony, mocking those human beings, adding some lofty meaning to the movie.

During the Chinese New Year, the robot has been dubbed by Lu Entai, who speaks without emotion, but it is a big challenge to have a robot who can hear the voice of emotion.

The robot itself has no emotions, and it does not have a human face. It can know the emotion when he speaks through facial expressions.

This voice should not be cold, but should have a magnetic and thick voice. Even if this kind of voice is unemotional when spoken, it will have a heart-warming feeling when you listen to it.

And Lu Entai studied Shakespeare's plays in Oxford. Shakespeare's play language is similar to poetic language and has a strong lyricism.

It’s not that it is necessary to use the lines of Shakespeare’s plays to match this robot, that’s definitely not possible, but that style of language and its unique lyricism are helpful for dubbing.

It is necessary for the audience to feel the change of a robot's inner emotions from the words without emotion.

As another aspect of science fiction movies, special effects can never be bypassed.

The special effects of the original version are not troublesome. I don’t know if it is a lack of money or why, but the special effects are almost the same as none, and they are all simple models.

After all, it is a sci-fi film, so it must have a sense of sci-fi and technology, and let the audience immediately enter the background.

And there are no particularly complicated special effects, even if it is done well, the cost will not be too high.

Well, the most important thing is the actors.

One person plays two roles, and most of the time the two clones have to be in the same frame, appearing in one shot, and many of them are frontal shots.

Although the two clones have implanted the memory of the same person, they are indeed people with completely different personalities and tempers.

Moreover, the physical conditions are different, one is approaching its limit, and the other has just been activated.

Actors are a big problem, and Li Qian didn't have any suitable candidates for a while, so he had to audition.

But don't be so anxious, this movie has very few scenes, and it shouldn't be a big problem to finish shooting in a little over a month. The special effects are mainly to do some models and post-production renderings.

Moreover, it is necessary to find an executive director, and it is not easy to do without an assistant.

Li Qian asked Guangxian to send a notice to recruit an executive director for him, so as to find a suitable assistant.

Immediately afterwards, Li Qian flew to Qiongdao to see the filming of the Jaws: Revenge crew. It seemed that it was not going very well.

Tong Liya was also with her. Li Qian was busy writing the script during this time, and the two spent little time together. It was rare that Li Qian was not busy, so they wanted to go together and stroll around Qiongdao by the way.

On the plane, Tong Liya took some time to read the script of the moon and was greatly shocked.

"Li Qian, you still said that this is a lonely movie, it's obviously very touching."

"I'm not lonely anymore, I can't just watch one or two episodes."

"This story is very well written. Clone 6 carried Clone 5 back from the breakdown car at the beginning, and finally Clone 5, who was dying, was willing to die in order to confuse human beings. Clone 6 And carried Clone 5 back from the base to the breakdown vehicle."

Tong Liya said sadly, "He hugged him back and saved him, but in the end he hugged him to death. It's so touching!"

"There's something wrong with saying it out of your mouth."

Li Qian didn't come and felt a chill, "It seems to be a science fiction novel."

And they are two identical clones, isn't that...

Tong Liya gave him a white look, "Where are you going, I just feel very touched, and finally, Clone 5 in the breakdown car watched the spacecraft on Clone 6 leave the moon, and slowly closed his eyes , It must be very touching to shoot!"

"This is the last emotional outburst. If you can't move the audience, then you are blind."

"Then who are you going to ask for the filming? One person will play two roles, or two people who look the same but have completely different personalities." Tong Liya asked.

"There is no suitable candidate, take your time, there is still time."

Chapter 126 Be Honest (Please Subscribe!)

Early in the morning, Qi Yukun got up in a hotel by a beach in Qiongdao with a tired face, and looked at the footage taken in the past two days.

Although it was shot with a digital camera, the effect of the shot can be seen clearly through the monitor at the shooting site, but Qi Yukun still took two hours to look at the material every other morning for the sake of caution.

And it was not possible to shoot exterior scenes in the morning, after all, the scenes on the beach were all exterior scenes, mostly relying on natural light.

Now it is March again, even in Qiongdao in the south, the outdoor sunlight in the morning is simply incomparable with the summer vacation in the movie plot.

Generally, filming does not start until at least nine or ten o'clock in the morning, and when the sun is about to go down, we switch to indoor scenes, so that we have time to look at the material in the morning.

As a director for the first time, Qi Yukun is also very careful. After all, the production cost is nearly [-] million, and the first film is a big hit. If he messes up, he dare not imagine the consequences.

The debut work is a commercial film with a cost of tens of millions. Even if it is a professional director, it is impossible to get such a high investment for the first work.
