Chapter 450 Five Thousand Troops Assisted in Shooting
Ma Huaqian disguised himself as a woman to chat with netizens and retain users, probably when OICQ was just founded.
At that time, Ma Huaqian made this software, not to say that he wanted to develop it himself, his business at that time was mainly to make software and then sell it.
It was the Guangdong East Telecommunications Bureau that wanted to come up with something similar to ICQ, and Ma Huaqian, who opened a leather bag company, wanted to take over this business, but the competition failed when bidding, and another company got the business.
Then Ma Huaqian still made this thing, that is, OICQ, and after making it, he found several old employers where he used to work and wanted to sell them.
However, whether it is an investor or a buyer, there is a requirement, at least 30,000 users.
Ma Huaqian began to go to the BBS of some schools to pull people one by one and promote them on the Internet.
Later, 30,000 users were satisfied, but no one came to chat, so Ma Huaqian changed a girl's avatar and pretended to be a girl to chat in the chat room.
Girls are easy to be the focus of attention at any time, and the chat room is much more lively.
Looking at the entrepreneurial history of the bigwigs, it is much more turbulent than this, but many of them are not very entertaining, and some are even in the gray area on the edge of black and white, which is inconvenient to show in movies.
Ma Huaqian's entrepreneurial experience is definitely the most perfect in line with the requirements of the movie.
What's more, he is also the boss of penguins, and most of the people who go online know him, and some gamers are full of scolding and ridicule when they mention him.
It's even more perfect.
Chen Kun, Ma Qingyang, and Ma Huaqian also filmed most of the scenes where they met in online chats, including chatting with Ma Huaqian, who pretended to be a girl, as well as laughing and scolding after their identities were exposed, and then communicating on the Internet.
Here is a blur of the concept of time, Ma Qingyang went to KFC to apply for a job, and then started a business and started the Yellow Pages, all before the launch of OICQ.
The so-called yellow pages are similar to the telephone book, which is arranged according to the nature of the enterprise and the type of product, and the name, address and telephone number of the enterprise are published as the main content, which is equivalent to the household registration book of an industrial and commercial enterprise in a city or region.
However, Ma Qingyang: This is the Yellow Pages of the Internet, a B2B business website.
The communication between the two Internet tycoons when they were young, plus Chen Kun of the "game world", made Ma Qingyang devote himself to the Internet industry, and made Ma Huaqian give up looking for buyers for OICQ and continue to do it.
As an episode in the nineties, there were not many scenes, and the scenes in the Internet café were filmed for one day, and many of the processes in the middle were jumping, or some confidence was expressed through Chen Kun's narration.
Narration should be used very carefully in movies, otherwise it is easy to cause a sense of separation from the plot.
Not to mention the narration, even if it's subtitles, in fact, movies shouldn't have them.
If there are no subtitles in Mi Lijian's movie, only those who are hearing impaired go back to watch subtitles, you can ask the theater staff for a special device to display subtitles, which is inserted in the slot where the drink is placed, which is equivalent to a screen that synchronizes subtitles separately, and will not be embedded in the movie.
Mi Lijian's TV program, as well as Youtubi itself, also have no subtitles, and you have to tune up the subtitles to see them.
When the Japanese anime is screened in Japan, there will be basically no subtitles.
All over the world, film and television dramas without subtitles are the norm, and it is generally believed that it will affect the viewing experience.
Subtitles must be brought in China.,It's estimated that because the accents across the country are too complicated.,Sometimes it's not necessarily understandable without subtitles.。
Even subtitles for lines are avoided as much as possible, let alone subtitles for narration.
However, the movie "Rejuvenation" is actually the memories of the elderly heroine, and through the memories of the hero's diary, it can be regarded as "telling" the story.
Moreover, the male protagonist is actually participating in history as a spectator, so his narration will highlight this feeling and will not cause a sense of separation.
There were not many scenes, and on the third day of coming to Ninghang, the crew moved to another location.
With the timeline in the movie, a few years have passed, and it is 1997.
"Ma Dong, this time you are starting a business, and you have passed the most difficult time in the early stage, it is a time of high spirits, that kind of mental outlook has to be shown, and the whole person is a little more confident than the previous scene. Li Qian told Ma Qingyang about the play, and only said that he was a little more confident, otherwise he was afraid that he would come out with that big guy again.
"No problem!"
Ma Qingyang looked at the script carefully, and said with a full mouth, the two days have been dedicated to filming, and it feels quite fun, a life that has never been experienced before.
Even he thought about it, filming is so fun, when will he be free, direct and act in a martial arts blockbuster, and play a hero?
When the time comes, all the kung fu stars such as Cheng Long, Li Lianjie, Donnie Yen, and Wu Jing will be found, and a few more Hollywood kung fu stars, such as Stallone, Schwarzenegger, and heavyweight boxing champions, will also be found to play villains for him, and they will all be turned over one by one.
As soon as this idea came out, it was a little difficult to stop the car, Ma Qingyang was a little excited, and began to observe Li Qian's filming from time to time.
"Scene 128, one shot, one shot!"
The official filming of the new day, this is 1997, in reality, OICQ was developed after 97 years, but it is a commercial film, and it is not a biography of Ma Huaqian, and the plot needs to weaken the time of the previous plot.
With the executive director Qi Yukun's heavy "start", the actor moved.
Chen Kun came to find Ma Qingyang and went to Xiangjiang to watch the flag-raising ceremony of Xiangjiang's return.
But Ma Qingyang is in the entrepreneurial stage, and he doesn't have that idle time, so he is a little embarrassed, "There are still a lot of things to deal with in the company, and I have to meet customers next month." ”
"This is a historic moment, and every Chinese should go to see it when they have the opportunity. Chen Kun still looked like a young and wise man, his eyes and tone were full of wisdom.
Li Qian's version of "Rejuvenation" is a movie that combines "Rejuvenation" and "Forrest Gump", but it is indeed two completely different roles from Forrest Gump.
Ma Qingyang nodded, why didn't he understand, everyone in the country was very excited, and said a little entangled, "Then won't it be the same when I watch it on TV, I must be in front of the TV on time." ”
Chen Kun shook his head with a smile, "I think we should go to the scene to feel the atmosphere, feel the strength of our country, and let the once invincible English people bow their proud heads."
Moreover, the Internet industry you are doing is too far behind foreign countries, and the existing technology is vulnerable in front of foreigners.
Go to Xiangjiang, see the English people who bow their heads, whether you are facing the competition of Mi Lijian or English people in the future, at least you have more confidence, they are not invincible. ”
Ma Qingyang was a little shaken, doing the Internet industry, partly because of chatting with Ma Huaqian, and partly when he was doing translation, he went to Mi Lijian on a business trip, during which he went to Seattle's first LSP company, that is, the Internet provider.
He has seen the Mi Lijian Internet industry, and knows that the gap between China and abroad, no matter how it is compared, it is completely inadequate, and if one day he competes with Mi Lijian Internet companies, he really has no confidence.
"However, will there be a time to compete with foreign Internet companies?" Ma Qingyang asked with some uncertainty, also asking himself.
"Maybe one day, you'll have to compete with Internet companies all over the world. Chen Kun said with a smile, "Business can be discussed at any time, and money can be made at any time, but this kind of glorious moment may not be seen a few times in a lifetime." ”
"Okay, click!"
After filming a dialogue, Li Qian shouted to stop, and gave Ma Qingyang a good talk.
However, Ma Qingyang has another problem, "Director Li, does this scene have any deep meaning?"
"This..."
Li Qian thought for a while and explained, "Ma Dong, you have been a very confident and flamboyant person in the eyes of the outside world over the years, and few of our domestic entrepreneurs are more confident than you."
As a person from a backward country, you saw the former empire that never sets, the world hegemon, and its flag slowly fell.
Instead of our own country's flag, which symbolizes that our country is gradually returning to the height he should have, witnessing all this, you also feel proud and proud in your heart, which inspires your inner self-confidence, as a part of the Chinese nation's confidence, so in the future, whether it is facing the world's top 500 bosses, or foreign leaders, you can maintain this confidence in a big country!"
"I see. Ma Qingyang's eyes lit up, and he nodded frequently, it turned out that such an ordinary drama had so many deep meanings.
It's so much fun to make a movie!
Li Qian secretly wiped a handful of sweat in his heart, Ma Qingyang just likes to ask questions, and every time he shoots a scene, he has to ask about the connotation.
In fact, this is just to highlight the male protagonist, whether it is Ma Qingyang or Ma Huaqian, the appearance is in a supporting role, setting off the protagonist.
And what Li Qian said, the self-confidence of a great country, is also possessed by the actor, after all, he participated in the war back then, and beat up Mi Lijianren.
Of course, the one who should be on the back still has to fool around, and there won't be much drama anyway.
After filming this scene, the crew transferred to a Cantonese restaurant, filmed the two of them going south to Xiangjiang, and by the way, they asked Ma Huaqian to watch the flag-raising ceremony together.
There was Ma Huaqian's play, and he started a video chat again, watching the filming process throughout the whole process, and giving some opinions from time to time.
"Director Li's design of this scene is very good, we are entrepreneurs, we can't just make money, we can make money at any time, but we must also have a sense of national honor and mission. ”
Li Qian said in his heart, you can talk about your conscience, don't say on the surface that you create happiness with your heart, but in fact, you don't have the money to play with your horse paralysis.
However, on the surface, there are still two sentences of praise.
There's no way, people make free cameos, what's wrong with saying two good words.
......
The scenes in Nanjing and Hangzhou were filmed for five days, which was considered to be the end of the scenes of Ma Huaqian and Ma Qingyang, and only the scenes of raising the national flag were filmed at that time, and one more scene was added.
Without trimming, Li Qian took the crew to charter a plane and flew to Xinjiang overnight.
From Ninghang to Xinjiang, Li Qian crossed most of China and came to Lop Nur, a place known as the "Sea of Death".
This is also the location of the development and test explosion of the first mushroom egg in China that year, and it is also the filming location of the movie "Born Out of the Sky".
On the way to the filming location of the crew, Su Lun looked out the window at the yellow sand, and said with some curiosity, "Didn't the information say that the environment of Lop Nur is harsh and the sandstorm is raging, it seems to look similar to the Gobi in many places in the northwest." ”
"The weather was nice today, so I didn't have any bad times. "Li Qian is also here for the first time, so I can only guess like this.
"Then there is no need to come here, from Nanjing and Hangzhou to Wushi alone the plane is more than seven hours, Wushi to Lop Nur car ride for another seven hours, back and forth for more than a day, plus the time to rest and adjust, at least three or four days delayed. Qi Yukun said.
"It's only three or four days, and the crew is not bad for these few days, besides, this kind of sacred plot, only when you come to this land of death, is it a respect for history. Li Qian smiled and explained, "This is also what Mr. Li Xuejian requested, he said that playing General Zhang in "Born Out of Thin Air" is the biggest regret in his life, this time I agreed as soon as I invited him, the only requirement is to be able to shoot the scene of that speech in Lop Nur, which can be regarded as making up for regrets, Mr. Li Xuejian has come here to prepare half a month ago." ”
Qi Yukun no longer had any doubts, and said with emotion, "I really, every time I watch the boss's movie, it looks like a commercial film on the surface, and you say the same thing, boss, but after thinking about it, there are a lot of truths, including those words I said to Ma Qingyang a few days ago, I think it makes sense." ”
Li Qian shook his head, "What is unreasonable, you can listen to it, being able to think is the truth, otherwise it is a fool, it is essentially a commercial film, the plot of this mushroom egg is to mobilize the audience's emotions, after all, this is a very bloody and exciting historical event." ”
"That is, the boss, you always say that your film doesn't make sense, so I obviously feel a lot, but I'm still not sure. Qi Yukun smiled bitterly.
"Okay, let's have the energy to study Lu Xun's books, the words of a person who has been degraded as a god are much more meaningful than these movies. Li Qian waved his hand, he was also idle, thinking and thinking all day long.
"People who have been degraded as gods?" Su Lun was a little surprised that Li Qian called Lu Xun like this, and couldn't help asking, "Boss, what do you say?"
Li Qian rolled his eyes, lowered the mount of the commercial vehicle, and lay down directly, "I'm a little tired, lie down first, and call me when it's time." ”
Qi Yukun and Su Lun glanced at each other, a little helpless, and began to discuss the deep meaning of Li Qian's words in a whisper.
......
After more than seven hours of driving, the crew's convoy finally arrived at this legendary "Sea of Death".
However, Lop Nur doesn't look so scary.
Thousands of soldiers from a regiment sent by the local military region were already waiting in line, and Li Qian was actually quite embarrassed to see these soldiers who were supposed to defend their homes and the country being pulled in to make a movie.
This scene requires more than 1,000 people, and the military region and the armed police and other troops have supported 5,000 people.
Although it is not as good as those movies that use more than 100,000 or hundreds of thousands of troops to shoot, it is already large enough for a non-physical director and a commercial film, and it is already the greatest support.
Of course, it is not as good as "Born Out of the Sky", and this film uses eight satellites.
Now directors and actors have fame and fortune, but their political status is declining more and more, far from the status they had more than ten years ago.
There will be gains and losses, for sure.
changed to a director like Li Qian twenty years ago, and the scene would be different.
5,000 soldiers and troops, it is still because it is just a scene, and it is over after listening to Li Xuejian's speech, if it goes well, one day is enough, otherwise if it is troublesome, there will definitely be no such great support.
Back then, "The City Full of Golden Armor" was only supported by nearly 1,000 troops, but it was not just sitting and filming for a day, it took a long time, it was completely used as a group performance.
Compared with these 5,000 people sitting for a day, the treatment is actually about the same.
I went first and thanked one of the leaders who led the team, and let the army rest, but the filming has not started yet.
also saw Teacher Li Xuejian again, but this saw Li Qian stunned.
"How did you lose weight like this?"
