After listening carefully to Li Qian's idea, Qi Yukun suddenly said, "Therefore, the essence of this movie is to create an atmosphere, mobilize emotions, and make the audience always worry about the appearance of sharks again and again, and when the sharks really appear, they will be caught off guard and let the audience release the fear accumulated in the previous few times at one time, which is more effective than any bloody and terrifying scenes." ”

Guo Fan touched his chin and said, "In other words, what makes the audience afraid and afraid is not sharks, but the impending danger, and when the atmosphere is in place, whether it is sharks, tigers, lions, monsters, dinosaurs, etc., it is essentially the same." ”

Zhang Zhonghua said, "It's a bit like "Jurassic Park", there are almost no horror scenes in this film, and you can't even see blood, let alone rough bites or blurred flesh and blood, but it successfully relies on the foreshadowing of the plot, the mobilization of the atmosphere, and the accentuation of the characters, so that the audience screams silently, which is more exciting, tense, and terrifying than simple visual low-level fear." ”

Li Qian nodded, "It's basically the same meaning, but there is still a big difference between sharks and dinosaurs, dinosaurs are creatures that can make the audience afraid as long as they appear, even if the characters in the movie and the dinosaurs are separated by an electric iron fence." ”

"But sharks are different, there are sharks in many aquariums, and we are not afraid at all through a layer of glass, but if you go swimming in the sea, I tell you that there are sharks in the sea, even if you know that I am scaring you, you will be a little scared in your heart, if you are a timid person, the slightest wind and grass can scare you to crawl ashore. ”

"The shark that exists, but does not appear, is the biggest fear, and this is the most important point of my "Jaws". ”

Li Qian finally set the tone in the movie.

Everyone probably understood Li Qian's thoughts, and there were no longer any doubts.

Although the script and storyboard have not yet come out, the script and storyboard of "Sniper Phone Booth" are enough to prove Li Qian's ability.

At the same time, I am also very much looking forward to the release of the script and storyboard script of "Jaws".

The story is no problem, and the next step is to discuss the preliminary preparations.

"Lao Zhang, you still have to contact the photographic equipment and underwater equipment. ”

Zhang Zhonghua nodded, and asked again, "This time it's still two planes?" ”

Li Qian thought for a while and said, "Two machines are definitely not enough, now we have plenty of funds, let's rent four sets." ”

"Then Lao Qi and Lao Guo you go to recruit people, if the staffing is staffed, the three photographers in charge, the makeup artist will recruit their own team, and the props team must have experience in bloody horror films, mainly in these three departments. ”

Although the shark appeared for only a few minutes, there were a lot of bites, there must be some bloody scenes, the makeup artist has his own team to use it conveniently, and the props team also has to do some amputation or something.

"Gao Yang, you go to find the location and the underwater studio, I'll go to the scene in two days to have a look." ”

That's all for the preliminary preparations, and the specific things have to wait for the script and storyboards to come out.

"Then Director Li, do we use prop models or CG special effects for sharks?" asked Guo Fan.

"The prop model is estimated to be short of time, so I'll contact me to take a look at it, and then make a final decision. ”

The model of the shark is still a little simpler, and a marine expert in England spent 110,000 pounds to make a bionic robot shark fish, which can accommodate people and equipment to observe sharks up close, and is regarded by sharks as their own kind.

It moves freely, its mouth can bite, and judging from the pictures in the news, the appearance is basically the same as that of a shark.

However, it is certain that it will take time, and there is no prop company in China that has done it.

In the case of special effects, you can start preparing in the early stage, and the total should add up to about three minutes of special effects shots.

The shark who really shows his face for three minutes holds up a movie, and the test for the director is still very big.

Everything is arranged, and each prepares his own things.

......

、

After coming out of the studio, Li Qian first went to Hengdian, came to a well-known props company on Dazhi Street, and met the "props king" of Hengdian.

However, as the "props king" of Hengdian, the other party's company can make a mechanical shark, but it takes too long, and if you have this time, you can shoot one or two more "Sniper Phone Booths".

Hengdian does not have a prop production company that can meet Li Qian's needs, so there is no need to go elsewhere, so he can only choose CG special effects.

Li Qian successively went to MOREVFX, Viewpoint Pictures, and Base FX, and finally decided to base FX, which was founded by the Hollywood team, to be responsible for the CG special effects of "Jaws".

It's not that Li Qian doesn't believe in domestic special effects companies, it's really that special effects are a technical job, and the domestic special effects industry has just started, and it's too much worse than Hollywood.

Base FX was founded by a Hollywood team, with the largest special effects team in China, and also cooperates with Industrial Light & Magic.

It must be no problem to make a special effects of the Internet University, and it can meet Li Qian's requirements in terms of time, but it just needs to add more money, after all, the domestic labor is still enough, and the business of these special effects companies is not too busy.

In the end, a total of less than three minutes of footage, the special effects cost 2.26 million, almost less than 12,500 a second, the bulk of the rendering cost, rendering is too expensive.

It's not too expensive, it's within Li Qian's acceptable range. It also includes a special effects team headed by a special effects director who will join the team to assist in the shooting.

Of course, the money is not paid in a lump sum, but in installments, and it is enough to pay in advance within three days.

The special effects company is still at a disadvantage, and sometimes it often encounters those who can't get the full balance.

After the preliminary work was completed, Li Qian and Galaxy Video said that they would advance a box office, and the other party happily agreed, and the payment was made before 24 o'clock, and they began to write the script at home.

......

Just when Li Qian was busy with new films, several large and medium-sized domestic film and television companies finally began to take action.

Now there is one director who can sell at the box office in China, even if it is Huayang Media, the largest film and television production company in China, there is only one Ma Xiaogang who can sell well.

Whether it is Berner Films, the largest private film distribution company in China, Guangguang Media, which set foot in the film industry last year, or Huayang Media, which already has Ma Xiaogang, these three companies are in urgent need of directors who can sell well.

Last year, Ning Hao's "Crazy Stone" sold 30 million at the box office, and immediately became a favorite of the entire film industry.

Although Li Qian is only an online movie, as professionals, major film companies know very well that the quality of "Sniper Phone Booth" is high, and "The Road Grows Out of the Mountain", which sold 8 million at the box office before, cannot be compared at all.

The quality of the movie is good, even if it is only a big hit on video sites, it can't stop the pursuit of these big companies.

They really don't have directors anymore, although the directors in Xiangjiang began to go north, they all started their own companies, and they had to cooperate with several major companies on an equal footing, rather than joining any one company.

And Li Qian is still a suspense film, the cost is low, even if he loses, he can't lose much.
