Chapter 200: Boot and "Thai Embarrassment" (5/5)
Lu Xiaoran Film Studio currently has four projects in launch.
"The Dark Side", "Outwitting Tiger Mountain", "Gravity" and "The Wandering Earth"...
The last three are all in special effects planning.
According to Lu Xiaoran's plan, "Outwitting Tiger Mountain" will start shooting in April and complete filming in August, which should be able to catch up with the Spring Festival file of the following year;
"The Wandering Earth" is still early, and the script chronicle and concept design drafts are being made - they haven't started yet;
"Gravity" is special, after all, this thing is not a science fiction movie in the traditional sense, and it must be reduced in the places that do not conform to the actual situation.
The China National Space Administration is undoubtedly the most authoritative organization, and if you can get their support, from preparation to shooting to post-production, it will definitely reduce a lot of unnecessary trouble.
From the moment it was proposed to shoot this film, the space agency strongly supported it, not only sending two active astronauts who were in the recuperation stage to the crew for on-site guidance, but also accepting Lu Xiaoran's invitation to send a four-person technical team to help the crew design and shoot props such as space stations and spacecraft.
Most of the scenes inside the space station will be filmed in the built set, but the addition of professionals will undoubtedly make the built scenes more professional.
Every shot in "Gravity" must be based on reality...
It's impossible to imagine it out of thin air!
Otherwise, we must apologize to the people of the whole country!
"The Dark Side" is the most mature and simple, and this thing can be shot in a room.
On December 3, Liu Shishi and Liu Yifei entered the group.
Lu Xiaoran explained the specific filming process to the two of them, and the filming officially started that night.
......
filming, there is nothing to say, that is, Lu Xiaoran learned that his girlfriend did not say goodbye, ran to the bar to drink and kill his sorrows, sat in the corner and cried all kinds of things, and then was taken in by the female number two played by Liu Shishi...
There's a woman next to her chatting...
Chen Zhixi volunteered to serve as a tool girl...
"I hate seeing men cry the most!"
"Why?"
"If a man cries, he must be out of guilt, he must be sorry for others!"
“... Not necessarily!"
"Click!"
The executive director is Song Xiaofei, who is the executive director of the photography supervisor...
“... Xiaoran, you're crying!"
Lu Xiaoran was a little embarrassed: "No, I can't cry!"
What actor Lu is most afraid of is crying, suddenly bursting out of emotions, and crying silently, he really can't do it, just now he thought of good night and died of old age...
But there are just no tears...
"Then put on the props, onions, wind oil essence, eye drops, you choose one!"
"Eye drops, the wind oil essence is too ruthless!"
I smeared some eye drops and started shooting again...
The crew is accustomed to it - to understand Lu Xiaoran's weaknesses.
Liu Yifei, who was watching the shooting not far away, was a little stunned...
She cooperated with Mr. Lu, and knew his acting skills, "Source Code", swaying freely and with ease, how did she get to "The Dark Side", and she couldn't even cry such a simple scene?
"Every actor has something he is good at, and of course there are things that he is not very good at, which is normal. ”
Sister Wan next to her casually explained - based on the opposition of 'Lu Xiaoran (duzhe)', the role of the female guitarist finally called Wan Qian to come over to help, anyway, just a few scenes...
"He's not an actor..."
"There are also things that the actor is not good at!"
After filming this paragraph, Panasonic Fei shouted: "Okay, Lao Cao, it's time for you to play, vent hard!"
Lao Cao also came to play a soy sauce, playing the passerby, but he was hit by the drunken actor, and then knocked down the actor with a punch, and then the actor was taken home by Ina played by Liu Shishi...
......
The filming location was at a bar near the company.
didn't shoot much that night, and the bar plot was only two: knowing and apologizing.
His girlfriend left him, Xiao Teng borrowed wine to kill his sorrows, and then was taken home by Ina, and after waking up, Xiao Teng said goodbye directly - it is better to be a beast.
The more I thought about it, the more I regretted it, and the next night, he came to the bar again, apologized to Ina, and then took her to the studio where the tour was about to take place, and played a song "You are beautiful" in front of her...
The two rolled the sheets that night...
The applause was postponed.
Lu Xiaoran was surprised to see Xu Zheng...
"You... How did you get here?"
"Are you so confident in 'Thai Embarrassment'?"
“... How?"
""Life of Pi" and "1942" are so popular, I'm worried that "Thai Embarrassment" will become cannon fodder now!"
"You think too much, I admit that "1942" is a good movie, but a good movie may not be able to get a good box office, "Thai Embarrassment" will create a box office miracle!"
If in terms of popularity, it is definitely not a good choice to be on "Thai Embarrassment" now!
"1942" and "Youth Pi" were very happy, mainly because netizens questioned the domination of IMAX theaters by "1942", and Feng Xiaogang retorted aggrievedly: 'This is an agreement signed a long time ago, and we deliberately gave it up for a week'...
Some people also said that "1942" exaggerated the evil of human nature, and Feng Xiaogang directly bombarded, "Think I offended you, don't watch this movie, you have to watch it is 'dirty my movie'!"
The two films together directly occupy 70% of the film schedule, and "The King's Feast" has completely fallen - only 15% of the film schedule...
Lu Chuan really lost face this time!
However, "Thai Embarrassment" is different, this... It's a magical film!
Xu Zheng was a little skeptical: "Are you so confident?"
"Big brother, when did I make a mistake, you wait to be crowned a billion box office club!"
"Billion?"
Xu Zheng swallowed his saliva and wanted to say something, Lu Xiaoran: "Are you still okay?"
The bald head Xu left with a heart full of worries...
Lu Xiaoran was thinking, once "Thai Embarrassment" passed one billion, Xu Zheng was about to part ways with Orange, should he recycle the shares in his hands?
The market price is close to 200 million...
Forget it, although the reputation of "Hong Kong" is not good, the publisher must still make money!
After sitting for a while, Director Lu got up and went to the set, no matter what, the movie still has to be filmed, even if you skip it and don't write it, you have to explain your psychological activities.
......
In fact, the internal film viewing meeting and the theater viewing meeting collectively believe that the box office of "Thai Embarrassment" should be around 450 million.
This prediction is on the low side!
The comedy itself is a model of small and big.
The promotion of "Thai Embarrassment" focuses on the sequel to "People in Embarrassment"...
Most of the movie-watching groups have watched "People in Embarrassment", of course, most of them are watched through the Internet, but as long as people who have watched "People in Embarrassment", some of them enter the theater, this volume is very large!
Also, the audience is hungry for domestic high-quality comedies, because too many copycat nonsensical comedies made by Hong Kong directors in front of them have overdrawn the trust of the audience, and "People in Embarrassment" has accumulated a good reputation, and everyone will want to see the emergence of this brand.
Forget it, don't analyze it, how did "Thai Embarrassment" get a box office of 1.2 billion?
No one can say clearly, but it can only be said that the right time, place and people have it!
