my time as a director

"You, girls think things like this."

Li Qian smiled, and turned his eyes away from the computer screen, "Do you really think that those investors and film and television companies, after listening to my words, will reflect and will seriously make movies?"

"No? I think what you said is very reasonable." Tong Liya analyzed seriously, "Anyway, we have to invest, and movies have to be made. Bad movies that make money are worth a little money at most, and they are done. You can earn more, and the investors are also looking to make money, so why not do it if you can make more money?"

"The truth is this, but not everyone goes back to do it. Many people don't want to work hard to make money if they can easily cheat money, and it is very likely that they will not necessarily make more money after all the hard work. Naturally, the investor chooses this The purpose of this project is to make quick money." Li Qian said.

"Then you still talk so much." Tong Liya became more and more puzzled.

"Whether someone listens or not is one thing. What should be said should be said. If no one listens, I will speak. At least I will speak. If they don't listen, then I can't blame me." Li Qian laughed.

Tong Liya stared at Li Qian, and said suddenly, "You know, you look so much like a middle school teacher."

"teacher?"

"Yeah, don't teachers often tell students now, whether you like to listen or not, it's not for me."

Tong Liya stuck out her pink tongue, "It's so similar."

"" Li Qian threw his fully annotated script to Tong Liya. "There is not much time left for the publicity."

It's all about what.

What Li Qian meant was that everything that should be said has been said, so don't blame him for not reminding him when the time comes.

This kind of behavior of misappropriating money is the enemy of all filmmakers who make good movies with their heart.

A large group of us worked hard to make a movie, and finally made money.

As a result, other people made a bad movie casually and made money easily.

Why do you make money so easily?

In this way, there will definitely be some people who feel unbalanced, thinking that they have worked so hard for nothing, and others are so relaxed, and they turn around and join the ranks of misappropriating money.

Easy money is everyone's dream.

This is unfair to real filmmakers. Of course, there is no fairness in the world, but Li Qian is serious about making movies. From his perspective and the same people, this is unfair.

At the same time, for the sake of the audience and the industry, bad movies deceive the audience. If the number of times is too high, it will hurt the market and ruin the jobs of most people in the industry.

The two are natural opposites with different positions.

Make movies seriously, and will not allow bad movies to sell well.

Those who make bad movies to make money will wish that no one will make movies seriously, so that the market standard will become lower and lower. When the standard is lowered to a certain level, then their bad movies will naturally not be bad movies.

That's what it's commonly known as, pulling you down to the same level and then defeating you with experience.

Li Qian also didn't want them to make a movie seriously with his own words, he wasn't that naive yet.

Anyway, what should be said has been said, so don't blame him when the time comes.

It just so happened that their tricky marketing this time made the audience feel a little more favorable, which made them temporarily full of confidence, so that the feeling of failure would be even more uncomfortable when the time came.

The only way to stop this kind of crossover and remake of bad movies to make money is not to explain the truth, but to let them understand that doing so will not make money, and this is the truth to solve the problem.

If you are hit and you can't make any money, who would do that?They were meant to make money.

The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. Let them be happy first, and Li Qian didn't bother.

Now, he has to go about his own business.

The script of "Returning to the Old" is now completed, the location team has been dispatched, and the special effects company is rushing to produce the appearance of the male protagonist in 73, [-], and [-] age groups.

In the movie, the appearance is completely the same as that of an old man. Of course, it is impossible to do it through makeup. From adolescence to old age, there is such a big age span that no makeup technique can be perfect.

Not to mention, the alien in the film's twilight time character is a child.

The height is there, how tall is it when you are four or five years old?

That's unless the actor can shrink his bones.

Even if you can shrink your bones and become shorter, but the overall proportions are wrong and uncoordinated, there is still no way.

Changing different actors, and then using facial expression capture technology to "change" the face is not enough. If you change people, you will be two different actors. Everyone is different from each other. There are no two identical actors in the world. People, even twins, have subtle differences in the same expressions and movements.

If it was a TV series, it would be easy, but on the big screen, although the slightest difference, the difference in facial muscles, will not be noticed, the audience will definitely feel that something is wrong.

Moreover, this involves the problem of light and shadow, which will destroy the continuity of light and shadow.

This is not "Pacific Rim". The light and shadow produced by CG is drawn. Although it is extremely difficult, the epoch-making CG light and shadow effect can also be completed.

Therefore, not only the appearance of the character, but the posture when speaking, the tendons in the neck and chest that are pulled when smiling, and the pauses between breathing are all part of the character. These things may be more characteristic than appearance.

Therefore, the specific summary is that no matter what age the characters in the movie are, all the facial expressions, eyes, neck, and chest muscles fluctuate with the frequency of speaking, all are played by the leading actor.

After all, different people say the same sentence with the same tone, the changes in his throat, the ups and downs of his chest tendons are all different.

That's why it's the most natural to use the live sound when making a movie, and it's the most natural way to do it in the studio.

Because the studio is a closed environment indoors, there is a difference in sound from the outdoors. This slight difference is also the standard for movies.

As for TV dramas, there are also dedicated voice actors. To be honest, it’s no wonder that film practitioners despise TV dramas, which are completely amateurs.

Voice is a very important part of an actor's performance, which is equivalent to a play completed by two people.

Even in some TV dramas in Li Qian's memory, not only the voice of the voice actor, but also the shape of the actor's mouth can be seen, not the lines spoken by the voice actor at all.

It's as if the actor is talking about Nima, and the voice actor is saying I love you.

Even if the voice actor speaks affectionately, as if speaking to a lover, the audience will feel awkward.

Different lines, not to mention the shape of the mouth, the subtle changes in facial muscles, throat changes, and emotions are all completely different.

"Rejuvenation" has high requirements for special effects technology, but fortunately, this is not a big scene, it is more subtle work, the workload is heavy, and the requirements are meticulous. A group of special effects personnel from the digital field have been called in. It should be no problem to complete it. of.

The same is true for actors. Every move and every subtle expression of the elderly male protagonist must be acted by the actor, so that it is true.

Countless expressions and subtle muscle changes were collected, then scanned and adjusted, and put into different 3D models for processing, creating thousands of character models.

Let the audience see that the characters of different age groups change in height and appearance with age, but through the changes in eyes, expressions and muscles, it can be seen that this is a person, a reverse growth from old age to children people.

The requirements for actors are high, that is, if the appearance meets the requirements, it is purely based on acting skills. Unlike Li Qian's previous movies, acting skills are secondary, and conforming to the appearance is enough.

Most of the movies are like this, the actor's acting skills are never the most important, acting skills are only part of the performance presented by the actors.

This time it's different.
