The next day, Li Qing drove to the outskirts of Osaka and finally stopped in front of a village.

After getting through the phone, Li Qing said: "I'm Li Qing, I've arrived at the door, I can't find it there, pick me up!" ”

"Okay, wait a minute!"

Soon, a woman appeared.

"Hello, are you Mr. Li?"

"I'm Li Qing!" Li Qing replied, but sighed in his heart, I am also the boss.

No matter how a puppet, after all, he is the boss, and walking outside can at least scare a group of people.

Soon, they stopped on a hillside outside the village.

From afar, the snow on Mt. Fuji looks like a white hat. I saw that the cameras were shooting in the distance, and a director seemed to be directing.

Li Qing watched from the sidelines, quietly admiring.

It's shooting a movie.

"Isn't it filming a TV series, how did it become a movie?" Li Qing was slightly stunned and asked.

"Originally, I planned to shoot a TV series, but I just thought about the cost, and I was worried about the ratings, etc., so I chose to shoot a movie first to test the water, and if the film market is good, then adapt it into a TV series; If the market is not good, then just remove it. One editor explained.

In the filming of movies, many movies cost tens of millions, hundreds of millions, etc., mainly special effects, as well as many extras hired, as well as many big-name stars, and so on.

And those movies that spend a lot of money are often movies with huge scenes, such as historical war movies, fantasy fairy tale movies, and movies joined by big-name stars.

However, when "Snow Mountain Flying Fox" was set, it chose low-cost production, and the special effects did not have to be too much, focusing on realism, paying attention to fists and flesh, paying attention to realism, and also saving costs; You don't need too many extras either, just a few dozen are enough; And the cost of actors is divided into shares.

The income of the actors, on the basis of the cost of providing the foundation, is divided into the film.

When an actor shoots a movie, how much he earns in the end depends on the box office income of the movie, the box office income is high, and the actor's income is also high; If the box office is dismal, the actor's income will naturally be low.

Of course, some big-name stars may have more basic expenses, plus a share of income.

The actor sharing system greatly saves the cost of film shooting and reduces the risk factor of film creation.

Before the movie is uploaded, before it goes to the theater, no one knows what the box office index is, and no one knows how much money will be made in the end.

Many movies are very likely to be tragic if they are born at the wrong time. I think that "Journey to the West" was released in 1995, but the box office revenue was really not good, and it just recovered the cost.

In many regions, it is seen as a case of issuance failure. However, in 1997, with the advent of the Internet era and the popularity on campus, "Journey to the West" became popular in one fell swoop and became Stephen Chow's masterpiece.

The failure of "Journey to the West" is a mistake in the market position. The failure in the early stage was mainly aimed at some adults, but adults were more conservative in their thinking and couldn't accept the absurdity and nonsense; The success of the later period is mainly due to the advent of the Internet era, and the trendy young generation can accept the absurdity.

Shooting a movie is equivalent to gambling in itself, if it is a low-budget movie, it is just that, and if you lose it, you will lose it; But some high-cost movies, once they lose money, it will be painful, woohoo!

A lot of gambling is explicitly forbidden and condemned by society, but this kind of gambling is one after another.

The realization of the film sharing system greatly reduces the risk, but even so, it requires an investment of 2 million yuan.

"This is the ...... of the movie script," a screenwriter handed over a script.

"Thank you!" Li Qing opened the script and looked at it carefully.

The script is about 30,000 words, and it is composed of more than 100 scenes, but the more I look at the script, the more I feel a headache and the more confused I feel.

The script, which has a bit of a flavor like a novel outline.

Many people who write novels, before writing, have to write a novel outline, the short outline of the novel is hundreds of words, the long is more than 2,000 words, but when many authors write novels, they often write to the back, the more they deviate from the outline, and many outlines are often discarded.

And the script is also, just pointing out the general framework, but when it comes to the actual performance, it is often changed beyond recognition, and the changes are whimper!

Many actors, when performing, it is impossible to say word by word, without a trace of error, to say the lines, often improvised, often the magic of use lies in one heart!

Looking at the script, Li Qing couldn't see the good.

It's like, looking at the outline of a novel, it's hard to see how good a novel is!

"Hello, I'm Zhang Yun!"

At this time, one scene of the film has been filmed, and the director walks over.

The director is a woman named Zhang Yun.

"Hello, I'm Li Qing!" Li Qing said.

"You are the author of "Snow Mountain Flying Fox", and you have the clearest and most thorough understanding of the characters in the novel. This time, I invite you to be a special screenwriter, mainly responsible for telling the personalities of some characters, so that the actors can enter the environment earlier......" Zhang Yun said.

"Understood!" Li Qing said.

Then, temporarily entered the rest session, and some actors gathered over, drank tea, and began to ask Li Qing some questions about the characters.

Li Qing also answered one by one.

It's just that I don't know if I don't see it, and when I see the actor's real body, I'm almost shocked.

The characters who appeared in "Snow Mountain Flying Fox" are, Hu Fei, Hu Yidao, Yuan Ziyi, Cheng Lingsu, Miao Renfeng, Tian Guinong, Miao Ruolan, Mrs. Hu, Ma Chunhua, etc., but the actors of Hu Fei and Hu Yidao are all played by the same person.

It's just that there are too many differences in the specific scenes, Hu Yidao looks mature and steady, and at first glance he is a charming uncle; And when playing Hu Fei, there is a bit of stunned taste, and some of the blood of a teenager.

Looking at some clips on the film, Li Qing was surprised.

If you don't look closely, you can't see that the two characters are played by the same person.

"Director Zhang, why do you want to play two roles by one actor?" Li Qing asked.

Since it is a father-son attack, it is naturally similar in appearance, and if you carefully analyze the characters, you will find that Hu Fei is Hu Yidao in his youth, and Hu Yidao is Hu Fei when he is older! An actor playing two roles can better set off a tragic atmosphere, the tragedy of his father Hu Yidao, and the tragedy of his son Hu Fei, the tragedy of two generations is superimposed, which is more shocking! ”

Zhang Yun said.

Li Qing nodded in agreement.
