Chapter 093: I Feel Good
Counting this re-collaboration, Song Xiaofei and Li Xiang have collaborated a total of four times, three times Li Xiang is the director, and one is the producer, before "Genius Gunman" due to the script, it must have people from HK involved, so this is also the only time that the two did not cooperate.
Song Xiaofei can be said to know Li Xiang quite well, especially the photography style of "Invisible Guest" this time, Li Xiang continues his previous habits, the rhythm is still bright and cold, which makes people unconsciously raise their hearts.
This is also a must for suspense movies, with tense rhythms, brain-burning plots, and most importantly, try to avoid bugs, so that the audience can fully concentrate on the plot of the movie.
The costumes and props are nothing special, they are all being used and worn at the moment, which is why the sponsor especially loves Li Xiang, and all the things that can be used can appear in the movie.
The characters in the movie have sponsors for food, clothing, housing and transportation, and the most exaggerated is the lighter used by the actor, Lao Liu Du brought Du Peng and sponsored 500,000 yuan for the movie.
After bargaining, Duan Yihong's salary was finally made at 6.5 million, which is a fairly conscientious price, you must know that he has not acted in "Scorching Sun" and "Blizzard is Coming" that made him the actor!
So the budget for the whole movie came out - 30 million, and the remuneration of the cast and crew accounted for half, after all, it is a drama, this ratio is quite reasonable, and the sponsorship alone is back to the original, and the debt-free and light old Liu naturally smiled.
Li Xiang only pulled Huaying this time, and no one else was called, Optical Fiber and Wanda have shares of Feixiang, and it would be good to follow the money, one is the distributor and the other is the theater, and they can get a lot of profits, so they don't do the thing of licking their faces to invest, and they can recover most of the investment when they set up a film project, why should they give it to you for nothing?
Huaying must be brought, this time the script can pass the review, Huaying has played a vital role, the third master helped to contact the person in charge of the bank and the public security system, Li Xiang personally explained the plot to them, and promised not to discredit them at all, so that he successfully passed the trial.
At the same time, Li Xiang thinks about his overseas plans in the future, and now it is beneficial and harmless to show favor to Huaying, and a stable rear is the guarantee that he can show his strength.
At the end of December, the weather in the capital was already quite cold, but the guest crew in the Diffite Hotel did not feel it at all, on the one hand, the temperature in the hotel was very comfortable, and the most important thing was that everyone was now focused, because the first show of "The Invisible Guest" was about to start.
The first scene is the scene where the male protagonist and the female lawyer are talking, which is also a scene throughout the movie, and Li Xiang decided to finish the filming at one time, so as to save time and effort.
Unless it is a sitcom, no one will shoot in the order of the plot, which is too expensive and a waste of time, and the role of the storyboard script is this, to break down the script and classify the shooting of the same scene, which is also the reason why movie actors have a higher status.
Acting this kind of thing is actually a very simple thing if you get into the mood, but the difficulty of the movie is this, its mood is disrupted, in the same scene, you have to express different emotions, and you have to meet the requirements of the director.
To be honest, it is basically impossible to do it without a few years of study and experience, and not everyone is a talented actor like Zhou Gongzi.
This is also the reason why we watch the performances of many traffic stars, they have become famous before they have been tempered, and if you let him calm down and ponder his acting skills, he will not approve of it: At the same time, I performed commercially, walked acupoints, and even deducted a picture to act, you let me ponder acting skills without making money, you are meowing and teasing me, right?
There is no way that this is a chaotic era, so there will inevitably be chaotic works, so works like "Little Times" have their value, and it vividly reflects that we are now in such an era of materialism, luxury, and impetuousness, otherwise why would anyone think it is good-looking?
The room Li Xiang had chosen was crowded with people, and Song Xiaofei and his assistant were setting up and adjusting the equipment.
Duan Yihong was wearing a set of home clothes and was discussing the script with Liu Xuehua, and not far away stood Xing Tao, the newly signed lighting engineer of Feixiang, who was adjusting the angle of the lighting.
The "beauty of the prosperous age" of film and television dramas is often the reason why fans are desperate for idols in the play, and what determines their appearance may be the beam of light on their faces.
The controller of this beam of light is the same gaffer who is difficult to notice and who survives no more than three seconds in the opening and closing credits of a film and television drama.
Xing Tao is from ZL County, a small county town in the Netherlands, this name may be unfamiliar to you, but this county has more than 70% of the country's lighting engineers, which can be called China's first lighting county.
Xing Tao was also one of the uncles and brothers in the county who came to the capital to eat.
Li Xiang was very appetizing when he saw him at that time, the young man had thick eyebrows and big eyes, even if he was dressed as a spy, he must be an underground worker, and he would definitely not betray the revolution.
Xing Tao has been in a few crews before, but they are all just a lighting assistant, and his personality is relatively upright, so it is not easy to accumulate contacts, the crew is a small society, but three points of ability, six points of luck, and one point of noble support, Xing Tao met his nobleman.
This person is Xiaoxiao, she was reading the script at the time, and the crew accidentally knocked down an iron rod when they were moving props, and they were about to hit Xiaoxiao, Xing Tao blocked the rod with a brisk walk, and Xiaoxiao saw that he was almost hit by a hardcore.
Xing Tao didn't suffer any injuries, Xiaoxiao was very grateful to him, so he told Li Xiang about himself, Li Xiang was also very interested in this young man, and then he made an appointment with him, and when he inquired about playing with lights, he tried his skills, which was not bad, plus he saved Xiaoxiao, and he became a person in his own studio.
Li Xiang stood behind the camera, looking at the group of people around him, some familiar and some unfamiliar, Song Xiaofei and Hao Yi are all old guys who have accompanied him to shoot three movies, and there are many old faces who later joined Feixiang because of like-mindedness, and of course there are newcomers like Xing Tao.
He found that he really liked the feeling, and he didn't change it for his daughter, so he took a deep breath and spit it out, then grinned, refocused his gaze on the viewfinder, and shouted: "Attention departments, let's get started." ”
Accompanied by Li Xiang's words, Song Xiaofei started the camera, and the scene reporter shouted out the serial number, and the scene board was off the scene with a 'pop'.
"Action!" Li Xiang happily raised his hand, and while shouting to start, he put down his hand, and "The Invisible Guest" officially started filming!
