Four and a half months of shooting, it took half a month longer than expected.

There are many scenes, a long span of eras, a lot of transitions, and a duration of 150 minutes, which is really time-consuming.

In fact, the content of Li Qian's "Rejuvenation" is more than enough to make a TV series.

The 150-minute movie is relatively long, which is completely out of line with the requirements of commercial films, not only because the length is not conducive to the scheduling of films, but also because it is too long, once the rhythm is well controlled, it will be very tiring to watch.

"Rejuvenation" doesn't have this to worry about, the plot is refined enough, it is impossible to get tired of watching, at most, it is easy to keep up with the rhythm of the plot.

Of course, the focus is still on editing, which tests the editing skills.

Li Qian did not immediately devote himself to post-production, although the movie was completed, but it was actually not finished.

Chen Kun's personal performance is estimated to be twenty days away, performing in the air in a special effects company.

At this time, Li Qian's work was easy, just staring at his performance face-to-face, and only calculating and analyzing the movements of his facial muscles, without lights and cameras.

It's very idle, Tong Liya is in the country again, Li Qian will go to Wu Jing to help out if he has nothing to do, he is now going to do the later stage of "Wolf Warrior", and he has to prepare for the wedding, and the two ends are big.

also moved the later stage of "Wolf Warrior" to the digital field branch, and when Wu Jing was not there, Li Qian helped him do it, anyway, before the movie started, the content and tone of the movie were discussed in detail.

Li Qian took a day to read all the materials, and Wu Jing accompanied him, explaining from time to time.

"Director Li, how is it, has there been any progress with PUBG?" Wu Jing asked with a smile.

Maybe it's because he's about to get married, Wu Jing is smiling 24 hours a day, and even complaining to Li Qian before that he can't be busy, with a smile on his face.

""PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" is relatively easy to film, that is, the fight scenes and rival scenes are separated from each other, and it is easy to shoot when the plot is arranged. ”

Li Qian nodded and said with a smile, ""Wolf Warrior" seems to have further matured, at least in terms of the artistic processing of the lens and the structure of the picture, it has matured a lot. ”

Making movies is a technical job, and in terms of technology, Wu Jing, who finished filming "Wolf Warrior", is already relatively mature, and his handling of the lens is much stronger than the first two movies.

For example, in some of the edited scenes, when the bodies of their comrades are picked up by helicopters, the scene is presented in just 25 seconds, the camera is cut 18 times, and the scene keeps jumping over the command room and the field.

This treatment allows every soldier, whether it is inside or outside the command room, to achieve a high degree of unity in their emotions, and also allows the audience to feel the power of the collective.

Of course, the technique is not very clever, such as Leng Feng subduing Minden, standing on the high ground of the wilderness, and the rescue helicopter hovering behind him.

The picture is shot from an upward perspective, which not only highlights the tall hero image of Leng Feng, but also hints that behind the hero, there is the support of the country, and the momentum and demeanor of the great country are imperceptibly conveyed to the audience in such a picture presentation.

This is a very simple and direct technique, which is used by many directors of main theme movies and even anti-Japanese dramas, but for commercial war movies, this direct method is often the most practical and effective.

Any film needs to mobilize the emotions of the audience, and of course war movies also need it, so that the audience can feel the strength of their country and army, and be proud of it.

If you make a film about your country's army being hanged and beaten, no matter how good it is, no one will like it, and those who like it are sick.

However, there are still many shortcomings.

"Brother Jing, you still have to think about the literary drama, this film is the same as most action movies, the details of the literary drama are almost interesting, and the details of the series scenes and the plot are a little fuller.

The problem of lazy lines is too obvious, except for the specially prepared bridge, the other lines are very skinny, there are no superfluous details, and the tone of the lines also has a feeling that they don't talk like a normal person, and it's a bit of a drama to take the tone. ”

Wu Jing nodded and said, "I didn't feel much when I wrote the lines and filmed, I found out when I cut the film, it's really a little awkward, I really didn't spend much effort on the literary drama, and the main focus was on action scenes and war scenes, which was a bit negligent." ”

"The other thing is some details, this kind of film will definitely have a lot of people come out to pick out the details, get ready. ”

War films, especially modern war films, are a very sensitive subject, and all kinds of military fans, real parties, and cents rush up to pick out the details.

"The real battlefield is not completely real. "Wu Jingdao, when I filmed "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" before, I did a few foreign elites, and I was also complained, but I was just a soldier, but this time I really fought against the enemy, and I was ready to come here a long time ago.

......

Next, Li Qian was busy at both ends, occasionally going to see how Xu Ke's "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" was filmed, and he was also shooting in Huairou Studio.

"Detective Chinatown" is too far away, and it is still in the country, Li Qian has no time to go, this type is also what Ning Hao is good at, Li Qian can rest assured.

In May, Wu Jing held a wedding, and Li Qian also went to attend.

A festive day, but it happened to coincide with the rampant "The Amazing Spider-Man", which won 500 million box office in two weeks and swept the May 1st file.

Zhang Yimou's "Return" was also released, which is his best reputation movie since the new century, of course, the box office is not high, and few people watch it.

Playing as a rightist and sending a distant father, a mother who stays at home and thinks independently, a brainwashed daughter, a human tragedy, the daughter reports her parents' secret meeting for the sake of her "career", and in one fell swoop disintegrates the only remaining little bit of a family of three, the spiritual family bond.

is the sadness of the times, this kind of plot Zhang Yimou is completely a master-level character.

After that, there was no continued reaction era.

He loved her, and she loved him. She doesn't remember him, he can't have her.

She waited for him, went to Station Street on the 5th of every month, and picked him up for decades, and never thought of leaving him.

He waited for her, waiting in the nearest place every day, trying to evoke her memory by all means, waiting for the day when she recognized him.

There is no great joy and sorrow, no petty love, trivial and continuous narrative, round after round, if it were another director, it is estimated that there will be a tear-jerking drama, or a tragedy to continue to reflect the times.

200 million box office in 10 days, as a literary film, this box office is actually very good.

The whole month of May is basically the world of imported films, and "X-Men: Future Past" took 500 million box office in 10 days.

At the end of the month, more than 200 million "Eavesdropping 3" in ten days also failed to resist the ravages of imported blockbusters.

Although the box office champions in each year in the past two years have been domestic films, most of the time, it is imported films that have pressed domestic films.

At the beginning of June, "Edge of Tomorrow" was released, which broke 300 million in ten days.

The little monster of "Godzilla" also came to join in the fun, and got a box office of 400 million in ten days, and four imported blockbusters took turns to wreak havoc, and there was no opponent at all.

Until the end of June, "Transformers 4" was released, earning 170 million on the first day, shaking the film market.

Even breaking 100 million in a single day is an era of luxury, and the first day is directly 170 million, which is not much smaller than the impact of "Avatar" on the domestic market.

In the first three days of the weekend, the total box office reached a staggering 640 million.

80% of the films, super high attendance, and high ticket prices of blockbusters have created a sensational box office.

This data has almost booked the 2 billion box office mark.

The box office record of "Truman's World" is about to be broken, and the major companies that have been expecting someone to end Li Qian's box office record are not happy.

This is a Hollywood movie, even if it breaks Li Qian's record, it has nothing to do with domestic films, which does not mean that they also have hope, unless they can also make a special effects blockbuster with extreme audio-visual effects like "Transformers".

Some media are also singing about domestic films, and even some people who are not used to seeing the market becoming more and more commercialized also use this to criticize the current film market for becoming more and more utilitarian and only caring about the box office, which will ruin the domestic film market, because it cannot compete with Hollywood movies at the box office.

This is the question of the route, the domestic film market is now developing well, but in fact, it also makes some people dissatisfied, because the current market has no room for them to survive.

In short, there is a whole kind of thing.

"Transformers 4" continued to wreak havoc in the summer file, getting 750 million in the second week, and breaking the box office record of "Avatar" in two weeks after its release.

Immediately after that, "Small Times 3" was released again, and with the blessing of the first two sparse word-of-mouth, the box office on the first day was close to 100 million.

If the explosion of "Transformers 4" is expected, after all, the third part will be a billion.

But "Little Times" was nearly 100 million on the first day, which was really shocking.

Although the follow-up box office is still not good, with only 320 million on the first Thursday when it is nearly 100 million on the first day, it is enough to make it the focus of public opinion again.

How could the media and film critics let go of this movie that was criticized by them but still sold well, this is simply a slap in the face.

So, compared with the first two films, "Small Times 3" was scolded even worse.

Some have even found an excuse that this is the consequence of the commercialization of the market.

In contrast, "Beijing 81", which was released one day later and was also a big hit, received 150 million in three days, but the attention was much less.

The heroine of this horror film is Lin Xinru, and the most talked about at the moment is the matter of being forcibly kissed by Zhou Jie when filming "Huanzhu Gege".

has basically operated, over the years, this cold rice has been fried N times, which can be called the most rancid cold rice in the entertainment industry.

Immediately after the end of the month, Han Han's "The Future" was released, and it sold nearly 300 million in four days, but it was also a writer who turned to a director, and the reputation of this film was much better.

However, the popularity is still not as good as "Little Times", this series and Guo Jinming perfectly interpret what black and red are.

However, the fire didn't last long, from 320 million in the first week, there were only 150 million left in the second week, which did not affect its popularity.

The transformation of the two writers can be regarded as successful, at least the money is a lot of money, coupled with the good news of the Spring Festival, remakes, IP, and celebrity effects are becoming more and more important in the hearts of major companies.

......

July passed so lively, and the premiere of "Wolf Warrior" on the 31st opened the second half of the summer file.

The release of the first film produced by Future Pictures this year has also attracted much attention from inside and outside the industry.

Li Qian was almost busy editing the movie and took time to attend the premiere.

Ning Hao has also returned from the country, "Detective Chinatown" has been completed, Xu Ke's "Ghost Blows the Lantern" has also been completed, and the TV series is about to start, which can be regarded as catching up with the summer file.

Xu Zheng also finished filming "Hypnosis Master", basically completed the work at hand, and the company's subordinates and the directors who have been cooperating with them are all together.

also talked about "Transformers 4" breaking the box office record of "Truman's World".

""Transformers 4" looks like it is going to be stuck at the threshold of 2 billion, and the General Administration does not seem to have any intention of postponing. Ning Hao said with a smile.

"Transformers 4" has been released to the 35th day, with a total box office of 1.97 billion, in fact, there are close to 10 million a day, but there has been no news of a postponement so far.

"The theater chain has received the news, and the painting is officially launched today, which can be regarded as five more days of screening, and the whole of July has passed. Li Qian said.

Imported films, unlike domestic films, can be released for more than a month and a whole bunch of forty days.

But imported films can usually only be released for a full 30 days, and last month's "Edge of Tomorrow" was a full 30 days of painting.

Although "The Amazing Spider-Man" and "X-Men" were released for an extra week, they were screened in a few places on a small scale at that time, and the box office was only one-tenth of the previous week.

There are very few individual postponements.

"Transformers 4" can be regarded as a face-saving one, and it was released for five more days, so that it was released for the entire July.

"In fact, Zong Ju does good things most of the time, but if it is released for a week, "Transformers 4" will break 2 billion, and this first 2 billion movie will fall on the imported film. ”

Xu Zheng said, and the conversation changed, "But it's the same whether it is postponed or not, and soon Director Li's "Rejuvenation" will still surpass it and create a new record." ”

Li Qian waved his hand and smiled, "It's still very early, the later stage has not been finished yet, and the length of 150 minutes is not good." ”

"That's not a problem at all, I estimate that the box office of "Rejuvenation" depends on how big the market is, 2 billion is the foundation, and then I will see what those yin and yang weird people have to say. Xu Zheng was obviously a little angry.

"Brother Zheng doesn't need to be angry with those voices, if you go to make the movie they want to see one day and it fails at the box office, they will definitely turn their heads and taunt you, so there's no need to care. ”

Li Qian shook his head, before "Transformers 4" swept the summer file and broke his own record, and then "Small Times" continued to sell well, and there were more and more voices attacking the commercialization of the market.

Including the Spring Festival file "Thai Embarrassment", some people once again took it out to say that the market would be better if they didn't make these movies and made those films that no one watched.

Ning Hao said, "Don't care about the vulgar, the mission of our generation is to expand the market, and now it proves that we are doing well, and we should continue to do it." ”

Xu Zheng said, "I'm just not happy when I step on the horse, the 1.5 billion box office and the audience's applause can't stop their mouths, it is estimated that only Director Li's "Rejuvenation" can shut them up, such a meaningful, historically heavy movie, I don't believe that there are still blind BBs." ”

Li Qian smiled, "Don't affect the mood, Ning Hao is right, the mission of our generation of filmmakers is to expand the market, history will prove that we are doing the right thing, those who can't keep up with the times are just people who can only scold and scold on the side to find a sense of existence." ”
