Chapter 0518 "Tomb Raider", Prepare for the Prelude

Although the matter of getting the secret book is very important to Li Wenxing's life, it is only an insignificant episode for now, and life is still going on.

Starting from April 8th, Li Wenxing was busy for three days, discussing and formulating shooting details and scheduling issues with the personnel arranged to produce "Tomb Raider".

If you want to make a movie, you can't just shoot it according to the written movie script, at least you have to do enough preparatory work.

For example, the actors' image costumes and costumes that need to be used in the movie, as well as the preparation of props, shooting equipment, and filming locations, are all important things.

While doing these preparations, it is also necessary to work out the relevant shooting details in advance, which is what Li Wenxing and others are discussing.

Otherwise, these will be arranged after the start-up, and there will be no planned random shooting, which can be filmed, and it will be strange if you don't shoot for a year and a half.

To be more specific, Li Wenxing is using the professional knowledge of these staff members to depict and formulate the storyboard script of the entire movie according to the ideas in his mind.

Li Wenxing does have a general memory of "Tomb Raider: Origins" and the whole movie, but only he has it, and everyone else doesn't know anything about it.

Then the question is, how can he make this movie alone?

can only be used by him to break up and crumple the entire movie's concept, scenes, plots, and even monologues, etc., all the details that can be remembered, and tell them to others.

Then gather the strength of these 'others' to discuss, discuss, and formulate a perfect shooting process, and restore and represent the film as much as possible.

Of course, in the middle, Li Wenxing also made large-scale deletions and changes to the plot of the movie "Ancient Tomb: Origin".

For example, at the beginning of the movie, Laura lived in Xiangjiang, because her father was originally from Xiangjiang, and that boxing training was directly changed to Chinese Guoshu training, which was to fight with her fellow teachers and sisters indoors.

Here is Li Wenxing's own entrainment, in order to advertise Xinghua Martial Arts School by the way.

is about the part of the bicycle chase, Li Wenxing retained, but it was also changed to Laura not to make a bonus, but because he saved a little girl who was bullied and was chased and killed by street gang members.

Although it has a bit of a black Xiangjiang community, it can also take the opportunity to establish a tall image of the Xiangjiang police, and Lu Xuanxin will definitely be happy when he comes to the little police flower.

But here is to leave an introduction to "The Legend of Chunli", after filming this "Tomb 1", there must be a prequel to make money.

Besides, in the plot of the original movie, the length of the ancient tomb, like the passage in the tomb, guessing riddles, is really too inferior, neither reasonable nor reasonable, it is completely designed for the plot of the game, Li Wenxing has changed it,

Also, about the owner of the ancient tomb, it is not that he has evil superpowers, but the plot of carrying a virus.

Li Wenxing has also been changed, and it has been changed to an alien gem containing evil energy in the hands of the evil queen, which can devour the vitality of others and extend her own life.

Then wait until Laura and Vincent, father and daughter, are forced into the tomb by the villain, the seal of the evil queen is broken, and the three parties start a life-and-death battle.

Then there was a battle of wits and courage, the father and daughter killed the queen and the villain, but Vincent was also injured too seriously and fell into a near-death because he saved Laura several times in the process.

In order to save Vincent, Laura put the evil energy gem into Vincent's chest, but accidentally ignited the Autobot fire.

It turned out that Vincent wanted to find the evil gem to save his dead wife, but because he was framed and hunted down by an undercover agent of the Illuminati, that is, the assistant Anna, and sealed his Autobot fire with a special method, he lost his superpowers and was trapped on Alcatraz for seven years.

Of course, these things will not be filmed directly into "Ancient Tomb", this is just a digression.

Only an easter egg will be left at the end of the movie, which will be used to point out Vincent's identity and leave a hook for the plot of "Transformers".

This time, Vincent's identity is only to lead to "Metamorphosis", and only needs some suspense to arouse the curiosity and expectation of the family, that is, too much deflection will have the opposite effect;

And secondly, after all, Laura is the heroine of "Tomb", and the length of Vincent can't be too long, it will steal the scene, which will have a greater impact on Laura's portrayal.

Now, the general plot of "Tomb" is like this, and the rest is how to make it better,

There will be a series of questions involved, including the layout of each scene, what shots to use, and even whether special effects are needed for certain scenes, whether actors need stand-ins, and dialogue lines need to be more interesting.

Li Wenxing has almost mobilized for this, and Superstar Pictures has all film-related practitioners except for administrative staff.

And so it goes, three days passed, and three days went on,

It took a whole week to finalize the complete shooting plan.

And in this whole week, Galaxy Imaging on the other side of Xiangjiang has also joined hands with the people of Shaw Brothers Films, looking for and building the filming location everywhere, as well as working overtime to produce the props, costumes and other things needed for the film.

As for Laura's actor, the little girl Claire Simmons, she is also in urgent training,

The training content includes physical training, boxing training, bicycle riding, fast shuttle in the forest, rock climbing, facial expression performance, walking camera sense and so on.

Although the time is tight, and the corresponding training effect cannot be achieved overnight, it is still necessary to practice what should be practiced.

According to Li Wenxing's hard rules, Claire is resolutely not allowed to use a stand-in for actions that can be completed by himself, otherwise he will be too sorry for the million salary.

Even if it's just to create a topic and make a star, but the million salary is too much, and it will be very distressing to think about it occasionally, and he must feel worth it.

In addition, Li Wenxing also ordered his secretary Carla to go outside to find various sponsors to come back.

For example, all kinds of mountaineering equipment, mountain bikes, cars, chewing gum and drinks will be used in the film?

Even all kinds of weapons, guns, daggers, helicopters, etc., are simply brutal to the extreme, and not miss any opportunity for product placement.

Li Wenxing not only wants to save and compress production costs, but also wants to kick off the prelude to crazy product placement in the movie.

Although there is a precedent for the placement of advertisements in movies, it can even be traced back to 30 years ago.

But in this current year, although the major Hollywood studios have begun to pay attention to this aspect of income, they are far from reaching such a crazy point.

Not to mention those action blockbusters like later generations, only the advertising fees given by advertisers are enough for the film to pay back.

Well, in short, in this way, the preparation for the filming of "Tomb Raider" has been carried out effectively and quickly under the overall leadership of Li Wenxing.
