At the end of August, the hustle and bustle of the summer season finally came to an end.

Although the summer file is not as lively as the Chinese New Year file, and four or five blockbusters are released at the same time, this year's Ma Xiaogang's "Tangshan Earthquake", this movie, is not much worse than last year's New Year.

The high box office of 670 million not only created a new box office record for domestic films, but also raised the upper limit of the box office of domestic films from 400 million to 600 million, and it is not far from 700 million.

With the high box office, the suffering of the public for movie consumption, the wrong content of the topic, and so on have not stopped.

The main reason is that Huayang and Ma Xiaogang are too high-profile, such a high box office, so that they all forget to pretend in front of the public, can't everyone be sad, your smiling face is going to cramp.

However, with the end of the summer file, it has slowly subsided, and no matter how much criticism there is, "Tangshan Earthquake" still holds up a piece of the summer file.

Whether it is a domestic movie or a Hollywood movie, they have all been ruthlessly crushed by "The Great Earthquake".

Among the several movies in August, the action thriller "City Alert" starring Guo Fucheng and Shu Qi won 90 million at the box office.

It is also known as the first mutant movie in China, full of gimmicks, and the title of the whole city alert also makes people feel that the situation is very dangerous, but it disappointed the audience, and it is another thunder movie.

In the past two years, there have been more and more thunder films in Xiangjiang, which are the same as "Future Police" in March, which are all concocted by famous directors and kings.

The love movie "Love Notice" starring Liu Yufei and Wang Lihong got a box office of 60 million, which is not bad for a small-budget romance film.

However, the audience response of this film is average, and there is still a gap compared to "The Secret That Can't Be Said" starring Jay Chou, who is also the king of the music world.

The plot is the plot of a big star pretending to be an ordinary student to chase a girl at school, the plot of a common treasure island idol drama.

It's not surprising that Wang Lihong is still a director, and he has been living in Baodao since he became an adult, and he must have watched a lot of idol dramas on Baodao.

There is also "Dragon and Phoenix Shop" starring Xu Xiyuan and Ren Xianqi, a costume comedy, which is similar to "Perfect", but the box office is only 20 million.

Ren Xianqi is famous, but his films have always been unable to sell at the box office, and he even endorses "Future Police" starring Xu Xiyuan, this thunder film The audience has not forgotten it, how can the audience buy such a combination.

Xie Tingfeng and Zhang Jiahui's police film "The Informant" that collaborated again sold more than 50 million box office, which was much better than the last "Witness".

In addition to these films, there are basically no decent movies in the whole of August, and there are few Hollywood blockbusters, only "The Expendables" won 200 million box office with a group of action superstars.

In the two-month summer file, there are few films that are popular and popular, and now they are far inferior to the New Year files.

The summer vacation is over, not only in the film industry, but also in TV dramas, the summer vacation has passed, students have no TV to watch, and the main ratings of various TV stations have long ended.

However, the entire film industry is still extremely busy, preparing for the National Day and Chinese New Year files in the second half of the year.

Huayang Media, which had been silent for a year last year, sharpened its knives, and after harvesting the summer files, Huang Zhongjun also wanted to wrap up the National Day files and the New Year files together.

Bernard, who lost several blockbusters last year, is much more low-key this year.

And Guangxian, who has not made any great achievements, is still invisible in the second half of the year.

With the completion of "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree", Zhang Weiping has also come back to life, and he has made a comeback and frequently appeared in front of the public.

With "Let the Bullets Fly" co-starring Jiang Wen, Zhou Runfa and Ge Wei, Yinghuang, who has fully entered the mainland film market, is also very active.

No matter what, big companies or small companies don't want to let go of the biggest cake of the year.

......

Li Qian's "Warm Inner Light" has been completed, Su Lun has begun post-production, and the finished film of "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" has also been released and has been submitted for review.

The two films are about to be released, and the four optoelectronics behind the Huaying joint distribution company, five theater chains, and the perfect time and space responsible for online publicity have also been put into preparation for publicity and distribution.

As the main force of the Chinese New Year file, Li Qian went to the crew of "Time Planning Bureau" for a walk, and then did nothing else and devoted himself to the filming of the movie.

Although I went back to Huairou Studio, I didn't have to reverse day and night, and stayed up late every day, but there was not much time left, and it was not easy at all.

The filming and special effects of "I Am Legend" were started at the same time, otherwise the progress would not have been able to catch up at all.

Those outdoor scenes in the magic capital were sent to BaseFX for special effects as soon as they were filmed.

To display a modern international metropolis on the screen as a desolate and lonely image, although the technical difficulty is not great, but it is also time-consuming and laborious.

Li Qian also had to keep an eye on this and ask every now and then.

Time passed day by day, and at the end of the month, "I Am Legend" also ushered in the final shooting in the studio of Huairou Film and Television Base.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, in the studio that was set up as a laboratory, everyone in the crew was in full swing to prepare.

"Be careful, the last scene, if you can finish filming in four hours, you can still take an early nap after eating. ”

The executive director of the crew, Wen Muno, mentioned this big horn and kept walking around the scene, supervising every department.

For more than three months, Wen Muye has also fully adapted to the work of the executive director, and all the things up and down the crew can be arranged in an orderly manner, and he has been able to prepare everything for Li Qian, Li Qian just needs to sit in front of the monitor and shout to stop.

And the official director Li Qian is talking to the actors.

Originally, the executive director did the drama, and there was a small meeting every three days, and a general meeting every five days, and all the things were explained to the executive director, director of photography, and art director, and they just let them do it.

80% of the time, Wen Muye told Liu Ye and them, including NG, and after NG, it was the executive director who corrected the actors' performances, and basically finished the work.

If it's a TV series, it doesn't matter if the director is not there, it's enough for the executive director to be there, anyway, it's filmed according to the script.

At the critical moment, Li Qian moved his mouth.

"Brother Ye, take on the role, as one of the only remaining human beings in the world, and has been on the front line of researching the virus, as a scientific researcher, a soldier, and the hope of mankind, what does it mean to human beings to see zombies give birth to wisdom?"

"The end of humanity?"

"Yes, the birth of a new intelligent race, especially the transformation of human beings after being infected with the virus, the result is obvious, there is a big gap between the two individually, once people are bitten, they will become zombies, and there are not many human beings left, most of them have become zombies, if a large number of zombies give birth to wisdom, it will be a devastating blow to human beings.

So, when you see the zombie leader hitting the left and right sides of the glass respectively, cracking to form the wings of the butterfly, and then think about the female zombie on the operating table, the butterfly tattoo on the shoulder, and stop again, staring at you fiercely, no longer going crazy, you should realize that this zombie leader is born with wisdom.

After a short period of disbelief and panic, he should have taken out the serum very decisively and handed it to Sister Yuan Quan, and then took out a grenade and died with the other party. ”

This scene was filmed in the morning, and the glass was scrapped a lot, but Liu Ye always looked heroic and righteous, looking at the main theme war movie, as if he was about to cover the heroic army.

Although it seems to be the same, and the enemy will die together, but it's not the same state.

My wife and children are gone, my dog is gone, and the only motivation to survive is to create an antidote, which is my mission as a virus researcher and soldier.

Now that the antidote serum has been developed, the only motivation to stay alive is gone.

Liu Ye scratched the back of his head and asked again, "What about Yuan Quan's mother and son, when they handed over the serum to them, ......?"

"No, I don't. ”

Li Qian knew what he meant, and shook his head, "You didn't have feelings in the movie, and you didn't have to do anything about life and death in the end." ”

When filming, a few seconds or more than ten seconds are shot in one shot, and there are many things that the actors themselves can't feel.

In the second half of the scene where the three of them got along, Li Qian deliberately downplayed the emotion, or no emotion at all, at most he was an ordinary friend, but in the last days, he couldn't see the opposite sex for many years, and he would instinctively have an impulse.

The final end of the same end is not only for all mankind, but also a relief for the hero himself, and there can be no concern.

A quarter of an hour later, the final scene was filmed again.

"Let's go!"

As Wen Muye shouted angrily, the crew moved.

Looking at a butterfly-like pattern formed by countless cracks on the glass, and the zombie leader who was no longer crazy, Liu Ye was a little puzzled at first, and then his eyes widened, and he slowly turned his head to look at the female zombie on the operating table behind him.

The face is close-up, the pupils suddenly dilate, and the face is full of disbelief and horror.

After more than an hour, he resolutely smoked a tube of serum on the hand of the female zombie, pushed open a large cabinet in the operating room, and revealed a tunnel, allowing Yuan Quan and Zhang Zifeng to hide in it.

Put the serum in Yuan Quan's hand and hold it tightly.

"I guess that's why you're here. ”

"No, let's go together. ”

Women are always sensual, not to mention the only man who can give him a sense of security in the last days.

"I hope that the human survivor gathering place you mentioned is true, live well, and leave it to them. ”

Liu Ye smiled and rubbed Zhang Zifeng's head again, "Remember to finish your homework and listen to your mother." ”

Turning his head, not wanting to face the eyes of their mother and daughter, Liu Ye blocked the tunnel again.

The glass door could resist for a while, but from the moment he found out that the zombie was wise, he didn't think that he would leave safely.

I don't know how many zombies have given birth to wisdom, but now this zombie leader who can command the zombies of the entire demon capital is already the biggest threat to mankind.

Liu Ye opened a drawer, took out a grenade that had been placed inside, and gently stroked the photo of a family of three in the drawer.

"Roar!!

The zombie leader keeps banging on the glass door.

Liu Ye pulled the strings, rushed forward, and pretended to be full of the zombie leader who had just crashed the door.

"Okay, keep one, hurry up and come back. ”

It's a very smooth shot, but there's still time, so I'll continue to shoot two more.

Liu Ye, who tried his best, and the actor who played the zombie boss were bumped into by each other, and they also pulled each other up and cared about each other.

The explosion shot certainly didn't really blow them both up.

After keeping one article, the second time was still very stable, Li Qian didn't go to shoot it again, and directly announced that it was over here.

The movie is finished!

After more than three months of shooting, it was finally completed.

In the evening, the crew also had a sumptuous finale banquet, and then they separated, and they would not meet again until some of the shots needed to be dubbed, or before the release.

"Azusa is about to start school, have you finished your summer homework?"

On the occasion of separation, Li Qian was concerned about Zhang Zifeng's study.

But in exchange for the little girl's eyes, "You have asked more than ten times, and you have already said that you have finished writing." ”

“......”

.......

After the movie was filmed, Li Qian rested for two days and began to be busy editing.

The narrative of "I Am Legend" is nothing special, that is, it is interspersed with various memories of the male protagonist, and there is not much difficulty in editing.

The special effects are not finished yet, but there is enough time, and there are still nearly four months to go.

Li Qian didn't rush too much, he stayed in the computer room for ten hours every day, and he should rest and rest at other times, and he also posted a movie on Weibo.

However, a week after the finale, Li Qian also received a notice from Han Sanping, asking him to talk about the schedule with the producers and distributors of other films in the Lunar New Year file.

It's not a bad thing, and although I'm not afraid of competition, it's good to have no competition.

In a certain clubhouse, Li Qian also met Huang Zhongjun, Yu Dong, Wang Changtian, Li Ming, Ren Chongluan, as well as Yinghuang's Yang Hunting Cheng and Huanya's Zhuang Cheng.

Large companies from the mainland and Hong Kong have come, basically including the producers and distributors of all medium-sized and above films in the second half of the year.

"The Love of the Hawthorn Tree" will also be released in the second half of the year, and the schedule has not been determined, but Zhang Weiping did not come, I don't know if he didn't want to come, or Han Sanping didn't look for him.

It doesn't matter, though.

Li Qian came late, I don't know what they came here to do so early, and they didn't come early to reach any agreement with others.

"Director Li is here, please take a seat, haha. ”

Wang Changtian was the first to greet him, and the small eyes behind the gold-wire glasses smiled kindly.

"Wang Dong is polite, how are you doing. ”

Li Qian also sat down next to him.

Before he could say a few words of greeting, Han Sanping also came, a little earlier than the usual event, and five minutes earlier than the scheduled time.

"Hehe, everyone is here, let's do it first. Han Sanping looked at everyone with a smile.

It's really done, as for other small and medium-cost movies, they will be automatically expelled from domestic films.

For Han Sanping, blockbusters are the focus, small and medium-cost movies don't matter, and if you want to protect them, you also want to protect blockbusters.

To get down to business, as the box office champion of Chinese films, Huang Zhongjun spoke up unyieldingly.

"Hehe, everyone is here, there is a lot of competition for this year's Chinese New Year, let's not join the excitement, leave the market to you, and we will release it at the end of December 22. ”

As soon as I opened my mouth, I was going to leave the best schedule, Wednesday on the 22nd, after the weekend of the 25th and 26th, and two days later was a three-day holiday on New Year's Day.

Last year, this time was the day of the release of "October Siege", which perfectly avoided the four blockbusters including "Perfect World", and had a small long vacation, but tragically ran into "Avatar".

But there is no "Avatar" this year.

No one came to grab this day, Ma Xiaogang is now in the middle of the day, and even has the momentum of Zhang Yimou back then.

However, Li Qian spoke, he smiled, ""I Am a Legend" has just started to be done in the later stage, and the time is a bit rushed, it is too late in early December, and it can only be in time for the end of December, and the tail of this year will be released. ”

As soon as these words came out, the others present were a little unexpected.

This is just the beginning of the conversation, and Li Qian is so rushed.

People just finished talking about the end of December, and you are coming to the end of December, looking like I'm going to decide.
