Chapter 79: "Black Hole Frequency" (Asking for Recommendation Votes!)
The first theatrical film was shot on film for no other reason.
If you can use film, you don't need a digital camera.
The two are presented on the big screen, and they are completely different aesthetics.
Most of the movies that have not yet appeared in reality in Li Qian's mind are shot by digital cameras at first glance.
Perhaps as technology evolves, digital photography will completely replace film cameras in the next few years.
But at least, not yet.
Moreover, there are about 3,300 screens in China, of which 2,600 are film screens and only 700 digital screens.
These 700 digital screens are basically cinemas in remote areas, and they are also small halls.
Digital films, which are then magnetically transferred and made into film copies for projection on the film screen, will have a much worse effect than film films.
Digital cinema, compared to film films, has the only advantage of being cheap and convenient.
In Mi Lijian, many TV dramas are shot on film, and they are even better produced than some domestic films.
The effect is better, and any director will choose to make a film film whenever conditions allow.
In fact, there is also a TV series filmed on film in China, and the youth of "We Have Nowhere to Place", which was broadcast in March this year, was filmed on film.
But that's the only one.
The difficulty is even greater, but the movie itself is not too troublesome, and Li Qian is not unsure.
After finishing the later stage of "Jaws", Li Qian began to think about what to shoot in his first theatrical movie.
At the beginning, I chose several films and wrote a few general stories.
In the end, considering the actual situation, genre audience, and other reasons, a sci-fi suspense movie "Black Hole Frequency" was selected.
However, it is too reluctant to call it a science fiction movie, and a crime suspense film is more suitable, with a little bit of science fiction elements, but the most touching thing is the relationship between father and son.
The story is very simple, the male protagonist stumbles upon his father's old-fashioned radio thirty years ago at home, and it is still working, and receives a signal from a strange man, and chats with the other party.
This strange man was his father, but thirty years ago.
In other words, the son of thirty years later, through the old-fashioned radio, talks to the father thirty years ago.
After determining the relationship through a series of events, the son suddenly remembered that thirty years ago, his father, who was a firefighter, died in a firefighting operation.
In order to save his father, the son seized the time to remind his father in advance how to escape from the fire.
The father remembered his son's words at the moment of life and death, and chose another path to escape.
Thirty years later, everything changed, and instead of dying in that fire, my father died of lung cancer years later.
However, another terrible thing happened, his mother, who should have been alive, died in a serial murder thirty years ago.
So, the son contacted his father again by radio.
The father and son worked together across time and space, and finally ended happily.
is roughly such a plot, it is a suspense movie as a whole, but it is wrapped in a sci-fi skin, but the core is the father-son affection and family warmth that go straight to the hearts of the people.
Simple suspense movies are too niche, and it is too difficult to sell high box office in China.
wrapped a sci-fi skin to attract the audience and impress the audience with family affection.
Emotion is the eternal theme of all films.
However, the script still needs to be changed, thirty years is too far away, and the domestic situation around 1977 is too sensitive.
Li Qian changed it to 20 years, the father in 1987 was about thirty-two or three years old, and the son in 2007 was twenty-seven or eighteen years old.
Across time and space, a prominent place is that the father and son are of the same age.
Thirty-two or thirteen years old and twenty-seven or eighteen years old, both can be said to be around thirty, and they seem to be the same age group.
But in reality, it's exactly two years.
Men at the age of thirty-two or thirteen are basically married and have children, while at the age of twenty-seven or eighteen, many of them have not started a family.
is of a similar age, and it can intuitively let the audience see the father-son relationship between the two people, and it will not be discordant.
The overall structure can basically not be changed, and the details still need to be carefully considered.
However, Li Qian also had time, and there was nothing else to disturb him, so he retreated and polished the script with peace of mind.
Although it is a story that takes place in two time and space at the same time, the overall narrative is relatively simple, and the script is not too difficult to write.
Anyway, Li Qian doesn't need a script, it's enough to have a storyboard when filming, and he won't read the script at all.
However, the trouble is that the scripts of theatrical movies have to be reviewed by optoelectronics, which means that they can't write a pure script like the previous two movies.
It has to be written as a literary script, otherwise the officials who review it can't understand it, and it will be troublesome to call it back.
Just take a little more time and write the script into something like a novel that a layman can understand.
On August 3, it took 15 days for Li Qian to complete the literary script of "Black Hole Frequency".
Without delay, he rushed to Guangxian's headquarters with the script, as well as Gao Yang and Wang Lu, as well as a lawyer from a nearby law firm.
When signing a contract, finance and lawyers always have to bring it over, and Gao Yang will connect with the other party as the general manager of the studio.
After making an appointment in advance and informing the intention of coming, the front desk directly took Li Qian and others to a conference room.
Wang Changtian, the boss of Guangxian Media, and his right-hand men Li Xiaoping and Zhang Zhao were also present, as well as several other management.
"Hello Mr. Wang. ”
Li Qian is also the first time to see this media industry tycoon, who is not tall, has a mediocre appearance, wears glasses, and has small eyes.
"Hello Director Li, please be seated. ”
Wang Changtian shook hands with Li Qian with a smile, his eyes were not big, and his smile was even smaller.
"Last time, I heard Mr. Zhao come back and say that Director Li is a talent, and when we meet today, it is really like this, talented and young and handsome, which is really enviable. ”
After saying hello to Li Xiaoping and Zhang Zhao, Li Qian smiled and said, "Mr. Wang is overrated, you are a leader in our domestic media industry." ”
Introduce each other, and after a while of business blowing each other, they start talking about business.
"Mr. Wang, everyone, this is the script of my new movie, please take a look. ”
Li Qian took out a few scripts from his bag and handed them over one by one.
Although they have any genre requirements for Li Qian's new film, no matter what they shoot, as long as it is not prohibited, Guangxian is willing to cooperate.
However, as a partner, people still have to read the script, which is also the least respect.
Li Qian is not the king of sunglasses, he has nothing, so he brought in investment and found a group of actors to shoot.
I can't shoot it out and I can't shoot it, and it's over again.
"I've been looking forward to Director Li's new film for a long time. ”
Wang Changtian took the script with a smile and glanced at Li Qian and the four of them before flipping through it.
Finance, lawyers, have brought, do things rigorously, not a hairy boy who doesn't know anything.
This is Wang Changtian's first impression of Li Qian.
