Continuing from above,

At three o'clock in the afternoon of the same day, in a mid-mountain house located in the southern suburbs of Los Angeles, in the highlands of the South Getty District,

After more than three hours of finalization, rehearsals, rehearsals, and all preparations were ready, the movie "This Man is from Earth" was officially launched.

"The Man..." Scene 1, Scene 1, Aksh ......"

'Click', as the clapper was in front of the camera lens, it was slammed shut by the field keeper, and the cameraman immediately took action and began to focus on the lens.

Li Wenxing stood behind the cameraman and gestured to the two cars in the distance.

This first shot is the scene where several friends of the male protagonist 'John' appear in the movie.

In fact, students who have watched this movie in later generations know that this movie can be said to be extremely simple, without any technical content, without fancy, cool, or special effects, just a fireside chat scene of the characters in the film.

This is also the fundamental reason why Li Wenxing chose this movie as the 'first director', with his half-and-a-half hanging, wild way, he can't shoot it if it's too profound.

Now, since there is nothing to say about the filming process, I simply omitted it and directly talked about the story behind it.

knows that there are a total of seven roles in this movie, as mentioned earlier, the five leading actors in this movie, including the actor John Oldman, are all selected from the actors recommended by the Los Angeles Broadway theater.

In this way, there are still two supporting roles that no one plays, and these two supporting roles are left by Li Wenxing for him and Liu Ruoyu.

In order to meet the needs of the characters in the film, as well as the purpose of taking into account both public and private interests, Li Wenxing made a slight adaptation of "This Man from Earth" as usual when writing the script.

First of all, the names of the people in the film, this must be changed, except for the protagonist, the names of other characters must be changed,

This movie is adapted from the future bestseller, and according to the information on the Internet, the original author began to conceive the relevant plot ten years ago,

Li Wenxing is not sure whether the names of the characters mentioned in the film have been finalized, and it is safest to change them anyway.

Like the role played by Li Wenxing, the original play was called Art Jenkins, and he directly changed it to Vincent Jenkins,

The name Vincent, but it is also a pun, here just echoes the pun of the protagonist John's surname 'Oldman',

Obviously, Vincent is associated with "Transformers" and "Tomb Raider" at the same time, and maybe there will be other works in the future.

In addition, Li Wenxing deliberately put on the makeup of "Vincent" in "Ancient Tomb" when he appeared, which can increase the "science fiction" element of this movie.

As for Liu Ruoyu, the 'Linda Murphy' she played was also renamed 'Laura Jenkins', and she and archaeologist Vincent Jenkins also became father and daughter.

The character of 'Vincent', whether in "Becoming Gang" or "Ancient Tomb", has always been an archaeologist, so he is still an archaeologist here, but he has changed his surname, because he has to avoid the three major villain organizations, and it is normal to change his surname.

Secondly, the focus is on 'Laura' plus play, which is also very simple, just let her ask a few more questions, such as asking John has been to the East?

Originally, the role of Linda in the original film was to highlight the young people in Western society, the questioning of Western culture, and the love for Eastern culture, and Li Wenxing only strengthened this line again.

In the end, Li Wenxing also has a play for himself as Vincent,

In this place, he deleted all the characters of Art in the original film and re-established a new one:

is also an archaeologist, but because Vincent himself is a superpower hidden in the city, he has been changing directions to prevent John from continuing, instead of simply unreasonable contradiction like in the original play,

Also, in the original play, John mentioned that the person he had seen might be the same kind of person, and he directly changed it to that person who was of Chinese descent and emphasized that he was about the same height as Vincent.

This is to lay a hook and ambush for the future production of the Chinese version of "Doctor Immortal", Marvel has "Doctor Strange", then Xingni can also have her own doctor, and then let Zhou Yan, who is also 182 tall, act.

Look, restoration, copycat, adaptation, all of them are right here, and it is reasonable to take care of both public and private, Li Wenxing admires himself a little, how smart he is.

Of course, in this way, the content of the whole movie will be stretched a lot, from less than 90 minutes to 100 minutes, and the plot will be a little longer.

It doesn't matter, anyway, in this movie, the people who like it can be said to be a classic, and as for those who don't like it, there is no more reason to be sprayed by them.

"The Man..." Scene 3, Scene 4, Aksh ......"

Filming continued, and by half past seven, the third and last scene was already being filmed.

At this time, it was already dark, and a large number of bonfires were lit in the distance for the lighting of the camera, and a police car and an ambulance were specially rented to cooperate with the shooting.

After filming this, Li Wenxing is still carefully checking every shot, and his body is up, he doesn't want to be hung by his feet, and he has to do things from beginning to end.

It is worth mentioning that in order to save shooting time, Li Wenxing directly used six cameras, and each camera was responsible for following one person, which made the shooting progress of the entire movie at least three to five times faster.

There is no need to go back and forth, when filming character A, you can bury the camera with character B's camera, and after filming A here, you don't need to shout, character B can answer the call directly, and there is no need to pause at all.

Li Wenxing only needs to stare at whether each actor's performance is in place, if the performance is in place, he will directly gesture, let the next performer, and then bury the machine in the lower position, so that it can be said that it is simple and easy to shoot down in one breath.

And this is just shooting, when it comes to post-production, it is even simpler, you only need to cut off the excess part of each shot, and then directly connect it according to the order of the plot, as long as anyone with editing experience can be competent.

It's just that if you want the plot of the movie to have a sense of rhythm and the camera switch has that indescribable rhythm, you still need professionals, such as Tang Shuxuan, to be responsible for editing.

As for the dubbing, as early as after the script of "The Man" was finalized, Li Wenxing asked Carla to send it to Spielberg's royal soundtrack, Williams, and asked him to write some tracks in advance for selection.

And the other party has been empty in the past two days, just wait for tomorrow morning, when the editing and character dubbing are completed here, the other party will choose the right tune to insert.

Said to shoot for one day, do post-production for one day, as long as there are no natural disasters**, it will definitely be completed.

As for passing the trial within one day, this is no problem, as long as the money is in place and the public relations are in place, it can be reviewed in half a day, which is a precedent.

And the last thing Superstar Pictures lacks is money, and right now, Superstar still has $100 million lying in his account and has nowhere to go. I want to talk about "Rebirth of Xiangjiang Giants" with more like-minded people, and pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
