Chapter 126: Honest (Ask for Subscription!)

Early in the morning, at a hotel by the beach in Qiongdao, Qi Yukun got up with a tired face and looked at the footage taken in the past two days.

Although it was shot with a digital camera, the effect of the shooting scene can be fully seen through the monitor, but Qi Yukun still spends two hours every other morning looking at the material for the sake of caution.

And you can't shoot the location in the morning, after all, the beach is full of location scenes, most of which rely on natural light.

It's March again, and even on Qiong Island in the south, the outdoor sunlight in the morning can't be compared to the summer vacation in the movie.

Generally, filming starts at least 9 or 10 o'clock in the morning, and when the sun is about to set, I switch to the scene to shoot indoor scenes, and I have time to watch the material in the morning.

Being a director for the first time, Qi Yukun is also very careful, after all, the production cost of nearly 10 million yuan, and the first big sale is the basis, if he messes up, he can't imagine the consequences.

The debut film is a commercial film with a cost of tens of millions, which is impossible for a professional director to get such a high investment for his first work.

If it costs hundreds of thousands or a million, it is estimated that it is better to say if it is smashed, and it will not lose anywhere.

However, nearly 10 million, Qi Yukun had no doubt that if he really lost everything, Li Qian would have his heart cut with a knife.

Moreover, once it fails, it can almost be announced that his dream of directing is shattered, and no company will reinvest in a director who lost nearly 10 million yuan for his debut film.

cautious and fearful, I can only use these four words to describe Qi Yukun's mood.

After watching the material and eating, Qi Yukun went to the set again.

The seaside crew is already waiting, and the scene to be filmed today is the body of a killer whale stranded on the beach, and Li Guangjie deduced from the wound on the whale's body that the shark did it.

Another marine expert disagrees that killer whales, although a species of dolphin, are known as whale killers, carnivores, and can prey on sharks and even great white sharks.

Eight or nine meters long killer whales, how big does a shark have to be.

The killer whale carcass has been prepared on the beach, prepared for a while, and when the actors and ensembles are in place, filming will begin.

With the order of the executive director, the shooting began.

Qi Yukun also sat in front of the monitor, watching the performance on the screen.

There was nothing wrong with the first shot, but when Li Guangjie was arguing with the marine expert, he shouted to stop before he could finish the performance.

"Click!"

"Come again. ”

"Click. ”

...

A simple shot, NG four times in a row, Qi Yukun was also helpless.

Since the start of filming, Li Guangjie has really been as worried about as before, Li Guangjie is not as obedient as he was in the first part before, and he expresses his thoughts from time to time.

It's just a matter of expressing one's own thoughts, everyone has their own ideas, and if they don't have their own thoughts, then they are not human.

However, even if Qi Yukun does not adopt Li Guangjie's opinion, he still has to fight for two sentences.

And it's getting more and more outrageous, always acting according to his own understanding.

NG a few times in a row, there are still no difficult shots, and the atmosphere of the whole crew is a little not good.

Qi Yukun shook the walkie-talkie in his hand, got up from the chair helplessly, and told Li Guangjie about the scene again.

However, Li Guangjie still insisted on his idea.

"Director, in the last film, my character has already experienced the transformation process from a mediocre middle-aged man who drifts with the flow under pressure from many parties to a mediocre middle-aged man who is submissive, to finally killing Jaws and becoming a hero.

I think that the image of our second character should not be like the first part, I am already a hero who kills the great white shark, even in the face of the resort owner, in the face of the village chief, the attitude must be tougher, should not be pinched by their work and hometown, and cannot be coerced.

Otherwise, wouldn't it be the role that played the first half of the first part again, and the character didn't change a little after killing the Great White Shark and becoming a hero, which is unreasonable.

It's like this scene, when I discuss with a marine expert whether the killer whale was bitten by a great white shark, and if I keep my posture very low and try to convince him, and my face is full of anxiety and panic, the character will not be able to stand up.

I have seen a great white shark attack a human being, and I have fought with it and killed it with my own hands, so I have no fear of sharks, and I will worry about the safety of tourists when I see this scene, but I will not be scared, or even afraid.

When expressing your thoughts with marine experts, you should also be more resolute, not following his words, and interrupting him forcefully when necessary. ”

I talked a lot about it, and the more I talked, the more energetic I became.

For the movie "Jaws: Revenge", Li Guangjie still attaches great importance to it.

After all, one of his own movies has not been released, and Lichun is not a commercial movie.

And the first part received a very good response, and this sequel is even likely to be a big hit.

However, all the audience's discussions in the first part were aimed at Jaws, and the real protagonist himself was ignored, and Li Guangjie was very unhappy.

Obviously, his role was completed very well, the character was full of contradictions, and finally overcame all the contradictions from the outside world and himself, completed the redemption, and finally the character was sublimated.

But no audience has ever mentioned him, as if this protagonist is dispensable.

Li Guangjie didn't think that he didn't act well, thought about it, and finally found the reason.

Although this character is very malleable, the first two-thirds are too cowardly, and they are pressed by the boss and the village chief with the overall situation, resulting in the death of two more people, which is not pleasing to the audience.

In this kind of monster film, the audience likes to watch a tall and awesome protagonist who defeats a more awesome monster, rather than the powerless and cowardly protagonist in front.

Therefore, in the second part, Li Guangjie was not satisfied with the setting of the script, so he simply leaned on the first part.

Moreover, he doesn't think he's wrong, the character at the end of the first part has already completed the transformation, so he can't ignore it in the second part.

Qi Yukun also had a headache when he heard him say that there were so many things, and he would forget about the inconsequential places, but if he changed the character of the protagonist, it would be the same as if it were nothing.

Sharks are the absolute protagonists!

This sentence of Li Qian's explanation before leaving, Qi Yukun did not dare to forget.

However, Qi Yukun is easy to say, but Li Guangjie still insists on his own ideas.

At the beginning, when filming just started, Li Guangjie still had some scruples, but seeing that Qi Yukun was so easy to speak, he slowly became more and more thoughtful.

If this is a small trick, Qi Yukun will not say it a second time, just like what happened to Yin Tianqiu in "The King of Comedy", and directly told him to get out.

However, the actor is different, not to mention that he is also a rookie director.

Just when Qi Yukun was at a loss, Li Qian's voice came from not far away.

"Lao Qi, hello everyone. ”

Hearing this voice, Qi Yukun breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and hurriedly turned around to greet him.

"Boss, you're here. ”

Everyone else hurriedly said hello.

The crew of "Jaws: Revenge" is basically all the people from "Frequency of Life and Death", as well as Liu Jinhui, the special effects director sent by the first special effects company.

Except for Zhang Zhonghua and the original lighting master who followed Guo Fan to "127 Hours Crew", everyone else is basically here.

After all, in the film "127 Hours", the photographer and lighting are no less important than the actors.

Li Guangjie's face collapsed when he saw Li Qian coming, but he immediately showed a smile again, and walked forward quickly to say hello.

"Director Li is here. ”

Li Qian glanced around and said with a smile, "It's okay, I'll just take a look, it's all right?"

Qi Yukun didn't say the contradiction in public, and nodded, "It's all going well." ”

"Then you shoot yours, be serious, and leave me alone. ”

Li Qian waved his hand and walked to the side, and the field worker next to him hurriedly brought a chair over.

"Okay, get ready, move on to the next one. ”

Qi Yukun also ordered everyone to go down and sat back in front of the monitor.

In this shooting, there was an extra supervisor next to him, who was still the main investor, and the whole crew immediately became nervous, and they became more and more careful in doing things.

However, Li Guangjie still acted according to his own ideas.

"Click. ”

Qi Yukun shouted again, "One more." ”

"Click!"

This is still the case the second time.

Li Guangjie glanced at Li Qian not far away with some weakness, and hesitated for a while.

When the executive director shouted to start, Li Guangjie was still hesitating whether to continue to insist on his own ideas to act, or simply lean on the protagonist of the previous film as Qi Yukun requested.

In the entanglement, this one clicked again.

Li Qian still sat there gracefully, just watching them shoot with interest.

Li Qian didn't say anything, and Qi Yukun continued to shoot.

It wasn't until Li Guangjie NG again that he finally acted honestly according to the requirements and did not mix his own ideas.

Qi Yukun breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly prepared for the next shot.

Li Guangjie didn't know what was going on, as soon as Li Qian came, he seemed to feel a little awkward again, just like when he was filming the first part, he was very uncomfortable.

At the beginning, Li Qian was just a big director of the Internet, but now, he is already a director of the 100 million yuan club, and in terms of box office, he is also one of the few directors in China.

As soon as I think of the filming time of that half a month, Li Guangjie is very uncomfortable, as long as he is on the set, he feels that he is just a tool that can move, let him do whatever he wants, and he can't have his own ideas.

I really don't want to film under Li Qian anymore!

As soon as such an idea popped into my mind, I immediately threw it out.

But if it's uncomfortable, it's uncomfortable, it's a director who can sell 100 million box office, anyway, it's only two months to shoot a movie, and it's not that I can't agree.

Next, Li Guangjie was much more honest, and he also had the idea of behaving well in front of Li Qian, and the shooting went exceptionally smoothly.

The same role itself, with a similar character setting, has already been played once, and the second time it is a hand-to-hand performance.
