Chapter 518 Do I Still Have a Chance?

Everything for the movie.

This is easier said than done, because as soon as "Death on Earth" started filming, the huge crew has actually started to operate.

At this time, the crew members will also join the group one after another.

Not only that, when [script discussion], you also need to consider which line to shoot first and which line to shoot later.

In particular, it is necessary to coordinate the schedules of the actors. Let’s not talk about other people for now. Wang Ruoan’s schedule is not ordinary tight.

First, Wang Ruoan already has several dramas waiting to be filmed. This time he came to film "Death on Earth" and really sacrificed the schedule of a drama first.

Second, Wang Ruoan will have a concert in 2028, because he is one of the kings of singing at that time. He even debuted as a singer first. For this reason, he wants to sing a song first when he is 65 years old.

In short, Wang Ruoan sacrificed his salary, schedule, and time to shoot your "Death on Earth", so should Wang Ruoan be filmed first when filming starts? ?

This point was also discussed during the [script discussion].

Not only was it discussed during the [script discussion], but even today in private, Director Lin Xing, Sun Feng, Deputy Director Han Lin, Wang Chao, Li Da and others, as well as people from the production, special effects and other departments also talked about this matter.

"Next, shoot An Ge's scenes..."

Lin Xing said to Sun Feng: "First shoot the scene of the car accident, just let Da Tiantian finish first, and then we will divide into three groups to shoot at the same time..."

This is something that has been planned for a long time.

"The crew is left to you."

Lin Xing smiled and said: "My scenes can be postponed for a while, and let Chen Ning continue to train in the crew during this period. Not only Chen Ning, but also the action group..."

Speaking of this, Lin Xing looked at the action director Guo Teng and said: "Brother Teng, I have to trouble you next..."

This time, the action director of "Death on Earth" is Guo Teng. After all, Lin Xing has worked with Guo Teng, and Lin Xing told Guo Teng at the beginning that there will be opportunities for you to be the action director in the future, and you can direct independently.

At that time, Guo Teng just thought that Lin Xing was just saying this briefly. After all, so much time had passed and Lin Xing hadn't looked for him.

Of course, Guo Teng still admired Lin Xing very much, otherwise he wouldn't have praised Lin Xing so much when Li Jing asked him.

But even so, when Guo Teng received Lin Xing's call, he was still quite surprised.

You know, for a movie with such a huge production lineup and a considerable investment, he had the opportunity to be an action director, and even a group director. This was something Guo Teng really didn't dare to think about before.

For this reason, when Lin Xing said that Guo Teng might have a harder time, Guo Teng laughed directly.

Hard work?

When have these action actors who debuted as dragon and tiger martial artists ever been afraid of hard work? ?

Many times when they encountered various dangerous actions, they would just close their eyes and jump down with a ruthless heart.

At that time, many dragon and tiger martial artists had no tomorrow after today, and it was precisely because of this that many dragon and tiger martial artists earned their money, which was really hard-earned money, and some of them spent it quite indulgently.

Because of this, now that the golden age of action actors has passed, many stuntmen nowadays are really miserable, because they have no savings when they get old, and many of them are actually in poor health. In addition, they are at least 50 or 60 years old. Do you think any crew would be willing to use them? ?

As for the young stuntmen, it is even worse. They have not even enjoyed the bonus, and after finally learning, they find that there is no market for themselves.

There are actually very few people like Guo Teng who have successfully transformed into action directors. Most stuntmen have either changed their careers or become dead extras.

After all, special effects are so advanced now that most of the time, stuntmen really don’t need to work hard, and even doubles don’t need too much in many cases.

For this reason, in fact, the real stuntmen have disappeared. Even the action actors of the Chen family, the Li family, and the Cheng family are more often designing action scenes, and then the dangerous actions are changed to action synthesis.

This is the general trend, which belongs to the market environment, so Guo Teng can only try his best in the past few years. At least his dream is to start as an action director and shoot action scenes himself in the future.

This dream is simple to say, but it is not easy to achieve. You know, it took Guo Teng a long time to go from a martial arts master to an action director, and Li Jing also helped him. Otherwise, it would be even more difficult.

But who would have thought that Lin Xing, who had only worked with him once, would give him such a big opportunity.

For this reason, Guo Teng really didn't take it seriously, and even thought that if he really had the opportunity to be a director in the future, then what would it matter if he worked hard? ?

Of course, being a director of a group now is already quite amazing.

"Have you applied to the United Nations?"

After talking to Guo Teng, Lin Xing asked Sun Feng.

You know, "Death on Earth" has scenes shot at the United Nations, and this movie is about world unity. It can be said that there is no problem with the script, and if you apply in advance, you can go to the United Nations to shoot.

Real.

Science fiction movies still need to be realistic. For "Death on Earth", since there are scenes of the United Nations, and most of the scenes of the United Nations are shot by Zhu Biaohai, then it is completely possible to shoot at the United Nations.

In short, Lin Xing's plan for "Death on Earth" is to directly divide it into three groups for shooting.

Sun Feng is in one group, Guo Teng is in one group, and Han Lin is in one group.

Among them, Sun Feng's group is mostly handed over to Wang Chao, Li Da and others for cooperation.

Today's discussion is basically about this matter.

[Script Discussion] Originally, it was necessary to discuss how to shoot in the future, the analysis of the script, the discussion of the lines, the direction of the character's personality, etc.

These are all things that need to be considered.

In this way, "Death on Earth" finally shot the first scene on October 25.

This scene is Yang Tian's final scene.

Her role in "Death on Earth" is only 30 seconds, but it is a highlight.

Because it is a car accident scene.

According to the script, Wang Ruoan and Yang Tian are a couple. They took their daughter to the amusement park. As a result, they had a car accident on the road. Yang Tian died, and Wang Ruoan's daughter also died.

Nowadays, the filming of car accidents in film and television dramas is of course not as real as before, and the actors seem to be willing to die.

Now it is a post-production.

Just like this scene, first shoot the car being hit.

This shooting technique is to directly set up the car, which is a rotating frame.

Then a truck from the opposite side hits the car, and the speed does not need to be very fast, anyway, just rotate the car.

Finally, the car rolls down.

This kind of rolling is pushed down by dozens of actors with ropes and hands, and then it is nothing more than post-production.

During this period, the actors do not need to be in the car at all, just need to shoot the tragedy of the car accident.

Looking back, the actors directly did some post-production in the studio, and then did various actions of being hit in the car.

The movie will be quite tragic, but there are some funny things on the scene.

The shooting of this scene can be said to be quite smooth. This kind of car accident scene is too easy for Guo Teng.

At first, Wang Ruoan wanted to shoot it for real, that is, to shoot the scene of the car crash. Although he is this age, he has shot too many car accident scenes, and all of them are real shots.     But Lin Xing refused.

On the one hand, it is still the same sentence that the current post-production technology is quite good, and there is no need for real shooting at all. In fact, in many cases, the effect of real shooting is not as good as the post-production special effects.

On the other hand, Wang Ruoan’s age is here. Although it is said that 65 years old is the prime of life, in many cases, he is an old man after all, with old arms and legs, and he still needs to be careful.

Everything is for safety.

This is also what Lin Xing said to Sun Feng, because the real weight is the air defense suit, which is not ordinary heavy to wear.

Lin Xing tried it on and felt that it was a bit heavy, not to mention his father-in-law Liu Baofeng in the movie.

"The first scene of "Death on Earth", the first shot, Aunt Aike."

"Cut."

"Congratulations to Mr. Yang Tian on finishing the film."

...

This scene took a whole day to shoot. It seems simple, but it requires the coordination of the shots, the sense of direction of the collision, etc.

In short, Yang Tian successfully finished the filming of this movie.

It started shooting on the same day and finished shooting on the same day.

Although there are few scenes, the sense of ceremony should still be there.

In this way, after the filming, Lin Xing and Yang Tian left Qindao together, and the two landed in the capital first.

This time, Lin Xing did not choose to go through the VIP channel of the airport. Not only did Lin Xing not leave, but Yang Tian did not leave either.

In this way, when the two appeared at the airport, almost all the media reporters, photographers, and fans rushed over.

"Lin Xing, has the post-production of "Parallel Cohabitation" been completed?"

"Lin Xing, there is only more than half a month left until Double Eleven, is it in time now?"

"Lin Xing, you are now filming "Death on Earth", do you still have time to promote it?"

...

For a moment, everyone was surrounding Lin Xing and Yang Tian.

Lin Xing's interview was okay, but Yang Tian's interview was more sharp.

"Yang Tian, ​​do you think you still have a chance to prove yourself?"

"Yang Tian, ​​do you think your current "Parallel Cohabitation" can achieve a good box office?"

"Yang Tian, ​​what do you think of the news on the Internet that you have no chance anymore?"

...

The media really took advantage of her.

Now that Yang Tian has fallen behind a little, the media's treatment has all been reduced.

"Do I still have a chance?"

Yang Tian smiled and said, "You shouldn't ask me about this, you should ask Lin Xing."

Yang Tian has long been accustomed to this kind of ridicule. When she was not yet famous, she was ridiculed a lot.

Of course, Yang Tian can take it and let it go. You know, two years ago, she was known as Boss Yang. At that time, wherever she went, she was surrounded by stars. ?

This is because the local media is too rude.

You know, the media in the capital has always been famous for asking questions. If it were the media in the Magic City or other places, I'm afraid these media would not be so sharp.

But the media in the imperial capital are like middle-aged men. They have always been known for their sharpness in interviews.

For this reason, these media did not save any face for Yang Tian during interviews.

You Yang Tian are already box office poison.

So do you, Yang Tian, ​​still think you have a chance? ? ?

Faced with these malicious obstructions, Yang Tian kicked the ball to Lin Xing unhurriedly.

"I think people are thinking too much."

Lin Xing said with a smile: "Currently, I am still working overtime on the later stage of "Parallel Cohabitation". As for whether Yang Tian has a chance, I think everyone will know after watching this movie. Of course, it is not just Yang Tian." Does Tian have a chance? In fact, I don’t know if I have a chance?”

With these words, Lin Xing turned the topic back to himself.

"Lin Xing, you mean you are not optimistic about "Parallel Cohabitation"?"

The media asked Lin Xing.

Lin Xing laughed: "It doesn't matter whether I like Parallel Cohabitation or not. The key is whether the audience likes this movie or not."

Obviously, the media did not intend to let Lin Xing go. Some media continued to ask: "So you are not confident in "Parallel Cohabitation"? You said before that you just made a comedy for fun? Does this mean that you are not confident about "Parallel Cohabitation"?" Does this movie have any box office expectations?”

"Of course not."

Lin Xing shook his head and said: "Of course I am confident about "Parallel Living". I am very serious about my work at any time. If I had not been confident or not optimistic about it, then I would not have accepted this drama in the first place."

At this point, Lin Xing looked at the media who wanted to ask questions and interrupted directly: "I know what you want to ask. What I want to say is that no actor does not care about the box office, but if an actor only goes to film for the box office, then I think This is bound to miss a lot of good scripts, because for the market, some films just don't have box office, and you can't say that those with poor box office are garbage..."

In many cases, why does it happen that it is not popular but is popular? ?

Isn't it because many films are niche films? Niche films don't mean they are bad films, it just means they are not liked by the public.

In the same way, if a movie does well at the box office, it must be a classic?

Not necessarily.

Some box office films may have taken advantage of the right time, location, and people, and then the box office exploded immediately. If you look back a few years later, the film will be completely unwatchable.

For this reason, people say that whether a movie's box office is good or not is often a metaphysics.

To this end, Lin Xing looked at many media and ended the interview with his last words.

"Thank you for your attention to "Parallel Cohabitation". I hope you can go to the cinema to judge it."
