After the press conference, Li Qian went to Huairou to take a look at the studio, and then rushed to Yindu with the crew at 8:20 p.m. on Monday.

The crew didn't have much time to prepare, only two months, and many places were not perfected, but step by step, there was basically no problem.

First go to Yindu to shoot the exterior scenes, there is nothing special arrangement for the exterior over there, and finish filming it in the upcoming rainy season, and then go to Jinling to shoot the exterior scenes, and at the same time send a group of people to the magic capital to shoot some background shots.

In the end, I went back to Huairou to shoot indoor scenes, but if the studio was arranged in advance, I would shoot indoor scenes first.

After all, the actors also need to feel that when the characters first appear, and many key scenes are indoors, they may feel that they will come up after filming first, and they will be more handy later.

The three stages can basically be connected.

And just when Li Qian stepped on the plane, dozens of media also reported on the press conference of "I Am Not the God of Medicine" at the same time, without missing every detail.

Including "I Am Not the God of Medicine" turned out to be not a literary film, but a commercial movie.

The movie also has comedy elements, and the main characters on the poster can be seen laughing so happily, and so on, which the audience didn't expect before.

As soon as various media reports about the press conference came out, they immediately caused extensive discussions, and since Li Qian announced the development conference in the morning, all fans are looking forward to it.

"I'll go, read it right, "I Am Not the God of Medicine" turned out to be a commercial movie?"

"Didn't you say literary films before, why did it become a commercial film again?"

"There is not much difference between literary films and commercial films, Li Qian is a director who pays attention to the story, and he will definitely not make it so mysterious, it is no problem to say that commercial films are no problem, after all, they have to sell at the box office, and they also brag that they want to break the box office record of "Avatar". ”

"But what Li Qian said seems to be a purely commercial movie, how can you say this?"

"How to say it, in fact, Zhang Yimou's "Hero", "The City is Full of Golden Armor", and "Ambush on All Sides" are not pure commercial films, the core in the bones is actually a literary film, and a truly pure commercial film should be a narrative flow, rich and complete story, good rhythm, rich core, suitable for all ages, and elegant and vulgar appreciation. ”

"So, what is "I Am Not the God of Medicine" filming?"

"I understand! It must be a crime drama, I have checked before, Yindu generic drugs cannot be imported, so the medicine bought by the protagonist must be smuggled over, and there will definitely be a lot of action scenes, car chase scenes, and big scenes of police chase shootouts. ”

"I'm lost, crazy, how is it possible!"

"Sand sculpture, even if it's such a plot, how could you find Xu Zheng to act, and you didn't look at the poster, that sloppy appearance is a smuggler?"

"I still think it's a comedy, why don't you keep looking for Xu Zheng and Huang Bo, and it looks like a comedy on the poster, how happy you laugh. ”

"I guess it's a tragedy, a comedy is not something anyone can make, it requires talent, and it must be a very touching tragedy. ”

"There is a great possibility of tragedy, looking at Hu Ge's appearance, I specially found a handsome guy to pretend to be ugly, it must be to highlight the pathos!"

"Speculate a wave, if it's a comedy, it's too obvious to put this poster, so it's a tragedy, the film that earns tears, how happy the characters on the poster are laughing now, how miserable the movie is. ”

......

In March, various companies made some small moves, bribed some media, and some water armies, and there were some ugly voices at the time, but after maintaining it for a month, I found that it didn't make much sense, and the movie was still early, and Li Qian ignored them, so he stopped.

Now the audience's voice is still relatively rational, after all, Li Qian's reputation among the audience can be said to be the best one, and it is more about expectations and discussions about the movie itself.

Various companies analyzed a wave, and did not see any useful information from the content of the press conference, but as Li Qian went to Yindu to shoot, they were also nervous.

And several big directors who want to compete for the Chinese New Year file are also nervous, no matter how many years they have been famous, now Li Qian is the holder of the box office record of Chinese films.

The directors who are not competing for the Lunar New Year are also secretly paying attention to Li Qian's new film.

In Chedun Film and Television City on the outskirts of the magic capital, Ning Hao, who was filming the new film "The Great Gold Robbery", recalled the news he saw last night and was slightly stunned.

As a director who is famous for comedy, he knows the special features of comedy very well, ordinary funny films are easy to make, but really good comedy is not so simple.

However, there is a saying that the truly great comedies are actually tragedies.

That makes sense!

Ning Hao can vaguely know what Li Qian's "I Am Not the God of Medicine" looks like.

However, this kind of comedy that can be called a great comedy, can Li Qian really shoot it?

It's outrageous that you can handle any genre, and it's all classics.

Ning Hao shook his head, a little unconvinced.

At this time, the executive director of the set saw that Ning Hao had been shaking his head there, so he raised the loudspeaker and shouted loudly, "Click!"

What's going on?

The sudden shouting to stop made Ning Hao a little strange and looked at the executive director.

However, the executive director didn't know where the problem was with the shot just now, and it was obviously more perfect, so he could only hand Ning Hao a question mark.

......

And another comedy director, Ma Xiaogang, is still disdainful.

"He knows the comedy of a!"

Ma Xiaogang, a self-proclaimed master of comedy, thinks that except for Zhou Xingchi, no one in the field of comedy is qualified to compare with him, and he has been invading comedy for many years, and he has long eaten this genre thoroughly.

90% of the themes can add comedy elements, but individual themes can't be added.

Otherwise, "Assembly Number", "Tangshan Earthquake", and the new film "1942" that is being prepared, why didn't he add it, with his level, into some appropriate comedy elements, and he was able to catch it!

However, this kind of movie, especially the last two, is to guide the audience's emotions step by step until tears, if the emotions are halfway through brewing, and suddenly a funny plot comes, it won't be a failure!

In the pharmaceutical industry, leukemia is a cancer, which is destined to be a tragedy, and it can't be filmed to save all leukemia patients.

With such a heavy subject matter, and the addition of comedy elements, isn't that the old birthday star hanging himself - looking for death!

......

No matter what news the outside world is, Li Qian, who has been on the plane for several hours, arrived at 1:45 a.m. local time in New Delhi.

After a good night's sleep, the crew started work at six o'clock in the morning.

The location is just an ordinary street in New Delhi, and this location doesn't need anything special.

For foreign shooting, many things are coordinated by China Film, and the local film and television company in Yindu will assist in filming the venue and group performances.

Let Wen Muye take a translator and arrange the next shooting with the people from the Indian company, Xu Zheng is making up, Li Qian is discussing the next scene with Zhang Zhonghua and the lighting Lao Wang, and the artist.

In fact, there is nothing to discuss, in the past ten days, the whole movie has been completely picked, how to move the camera, where not to use tools, you must use your hand to reduce resistance.

This is a typical realist modeling technique that must be retained in the realist genre, and the camera must follow the characters closely and participate in the actors' performances.

The slightly shaky lens emphasizes the sense of unease, substitution, and realism, and uses the camera as a perspective to lead the viewer's gaze.

"Lao Zhang, here is still the same as discussed before, although it is necessary to show a little bit of the customs of Yindu, but it is still necessary to cut off the characters and the surrounding environment, and the depth of field should be shallow. Li Qian said to director of photography Zhang Zhonghua.

There are many medium and even close-up shots in "The God of Medicine", and the shallow depth of field is to cut off the surrounding environment and highlight the characters more.

If the depth of field is too large, the environment will be solid, and there will be more background information, which will interfere with the characters.

After discussing for a while, makeup will take some time, and the big screen will require everything highly.

Li Qian also walked the whole street, he didn't know much about the place of Yindu, but there were also many pictures and videos on the Internet, which were the same as he imagined.

Backwardness, poverty.

And it is this backward place that has a special medicine that can save countless leukemia patients in China.

Half an hour later, Xu Zheng was also ready.

"Brother Zheng, then let's start?" asked Li Qian.

"No problem, I'm ready. Xu Zheng replied.

Li Qian nodded, and sat in a shop on the side of the road, where the monitor was.

Picking up the walkie-talkie, he instructed Fumimakuno, "Let's start." ”

This time is to shoot with a digital camera, the country is currently vigorously promoting the digital screen, the number of digital scenes is increasing, with the advancement of technology, the digital camera is used to shoot movies on the big screen, there is no problem.

Even if the film picture is still a little stronger, the film copy will be lost, and the loss will increase as the number of screenings increases.

"I Am Not the God of Medicine" Li Qian is confident that it will be screened for half a month, and even more than 20 days will still be popular, and there is not much difference in the digital photography industry.

The digital machine also saves time, you don't have to constantly adjust the position, just turn on the machine.

All departments were ready, and executive director Wen Muno also announced the official start of the film on the spot.

"Scene 16, one shot, one shot!"

"Let's go!"

This scene is the scene where Cheng Yong gets off the plane and takes a taxi to the factory, passing through a street.

The streets are full of people, taxis are driving very slowly, and the camera also records the whole view of the streets.

Yindu, the dark food on the streets should be photographed, and the people's clothing should be photographed.

There were also more than a dozen children running after the car, even clutching the windows to pick it up.

The old tradition is that the Yindu people are all pickpocketed by trains, and there is nothing strange about children picking up taxis.

These shots are nothing, in fact, this street is real, and there is no need to act.

Xu Zheng in the car was a little tired, and kept waving his hand to knock down the child who was holding the window.

got off the plane at half past 1 o'clock, slept for four hours and filmed, Xu Zheng's long-distance state of supervising the production was perfect, and the movie mileage Yong also went straight to the factory as soon as he got off the plane.

Moreover, there was some disgust and contempt in his expression.

came to Yindu, got into a taxi, and became the object of Yindu's children's chase.

At home, he was a down-and-out little person, and he began to despise the country.

It's not difficult, it's just that there are a lot of people, and the digital camera can see the content of the shooting more intuitively on the monitor, so you basically don't have to send it for printing after shooting to determine the quality of the shot.

However, there are still some uncontrollable factors, and I filmed for two and a half hours one after another.

The scene where I went to the factory to negotiate the price was an indoor scene, and it was also filmed locally in Yindu, but not today, the exterior was filmed first.

In the afternoon, he went to the beach to shoot the scene where Cheng Yong was about to smuggle the purchased medicine into China.

“different！different！”

On the dock, a fat and somewhat funny Yindu crew member, holding a bottle of medicine in his hand, kept chattering to Xu Zhengnian.

Xu Zheng pinned a pair of sunglasses to his head, and kept waving his hand to emphasize, "Not different, not different!"

In the past, they smuggled things such as Yindushen oil, but this time they changed to the generic Glenin drug, which is strictly forbidden to be imported, and the fat man is bargaining.

"dangerous!dangerous!" the fat man emphasized.

"It's not dangerous!!," Xu Zheng waved his hand to emphasize that the explanation was not dangerous.

"********" the fat man came out with a string of Yindu words.

Xu Zheng was annoyed to death, and choked on Mandarin in the magic capital, "Oh, don't tell me Yindu dialect, I don't understand." ”

The two talked about the chicken and duck here, and Xu Zheng played the emotional card, "We are friends... Friend, friend!"

“moremoney!moremoney!” The fat man rubbed his fingers and gestured for a price.

Xu Zheng felt a little funny, "Damn, you are so bad at Yindu Ah San!"

I have to say that Xu Zheng's comedy talent is not to mention, this somewhat awkward dialogue is completely full of comedy effects.

However, Xu Zheng also had moments of laughter, especially for long shots, when he went to pull the zipper of the shoulder bag and pay for it.

"Hahaha, ahem......"

I couldn't hold back this laugh directly, I almost didn't laugh out of pneumonia, and I bent over and coughed non-stop.

"Click!"

Li Qian's voice shouting to stop came from the walkie-talkie.

"Ouch, no, Director Li, how did you come up with these lines, I almost didn't catch my breath. Xu Zheng held his waist and panted loudly.

The Yindu actor in front of him didn't know Chinese, and he didn't know what Xu Zheng said, and he couldn't even understand Yindu Asan's scolding words, and when he saw Xu Zheng like that, he didn't know why, but he also laughed.
