Chapter Twenty-Seven: Death Is Coming
The starring role of "Home Alone" has been confirmed, and it is the child that Huo Que is telling stories and he is learning below, named Able. Angus. Later, Huo Que asked him some more questions, and the result of the answer made Huo Que very satisfied.
He has also shot one or two sets of advertisements before, which can be regarded as some background.
There is also a group of children who play supporting roles, and Huo Que directly selected them from the group of children who came to see the protagonist in the mirror.
On the third day, things were arranged on the company's side, and the filming army of "Home Alone" headed for Illinois.
Of course, it's not the whole crew, but there are actors who need to shoot on location to go. In fact, when filming a movie, not all the actors in the entire crew have to go, sometimes there is one person in a scene, sometimes there are several people in a scene, there are you in this scene, then you go, and if you are not in the next scene, you don't have to go.
This has two advantages, one is to save the cost of making a movie, and the other is to leave enough time for the actors. The reason why those big-name stars can take on several dramas a year is because they have properly arranged their time...... The little actors are worried about the game, and the big names are very busy.
For example, the one who looks sorry for the audience, but the movie is especially worthy of the audience.
Let's talk about his 2010, there is no doubt that 2010 is the year of Chinese film receipts, with a total box office of more than 10 billion, and 17 Chinese films with more than 100 million yuan. Don't think that this figure is not high compared with the current more than 40 or 50 billion, compared with 2000 ten years ago, it is more than 100 times.
In 2000, the total box office in the mainland was only 860 million.
Among the seventeen movies, Uncle Ge Youge accounted for three of them, "Let the Bullets Fly", with a box office of 660 million, "If You Are Honest 2" box office 480 million, and "Zhao's Orphan" box office of 190 million. So as long as the time can be arranged, it is still okay for the actors to make two or three movies.
In "Home Alone", there are not many actors with snow scenes, basically four people plays, the protagonist Kevin McAllister, Marven of one of the thieves, Harry of the second thief, and the old man of the snow. Other actors who have a bit of a snow scene, such as the protagonist's parents and the group of children, don't have to go to Illinois, so they can shoot some material on the spot when the time comes, and then let them shoot the little snow scene with a keying cloth as the background, which will save a lot of money.

In order to save money, Huo Que and several people went to Illinois to make the plane is economy class, originally Huo Que's seat was arranged in first class, but he refused, his current positioning is not a boss or a big-name director, but a newcomer who is still crawling the road of entrepreneurship, so there is no need to accept these special cares.
Able had never been far away, so he was very excited when he got on the plane, and sat by the window and kept asking his parents some strange questions, but fortunately he was accompanied by his parents, otherwise he really didn't know how to deal with this child. In addition to his parents, there is also a tutor, because Abel is going to take it in Illinois for about two or three weeks, in order not to delay the retreat of learning, so his parents put forward the request to ask for a tutor, of course, the money for the tutor is still paid by the crew.
Huo Que sat in three rows, Alice leaned against the window, he sat in the middle, and Laurie was next to him.
Alice slept blindfolded after getting on the plane, while Laurie stared blankly at the roof of the plane, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Dad, is the plane going to fall?" Abole, who was sitting in the front row of Huo Que, asked with a worried expression.
"Of course not, airplanes are the safest means of transportation in the world." Abel's dad explained.
"But didn't the news say that a plane had fallen?" Abel tilted his head in confusion, apparently at his age not knowing the consequences of the plane falling.
"That's just in case, but we have God forbid, so we won't fall." Father Able turned around and smiled awkwardly at Huo Que, then patted Able's shoulder and said.
"I predicted that the plane would fall." Able said with a wink. His father frowned at this, and was about to reprimand him, when Abel continued, "Then I will be able to fly like a bird." β
Children's thoughts are naΓ―ve, although this kind of words are unlucky, but children's words are unscrupulous.
Huo Que smiled slightly, and also closed his eyes and wanted to squint for a while. At this time, Laurie touched Huo Que with his arm.
Huo Que turned his head, but saw Laurie's thoughtful look: "What's wrong?" β
Laurie mysteriously said to Huo Que, "Abel's words made me think of an idea for a movie. β
In fact, when Abel said this, Huo Que also remembered a movie, a horror movie.
"What's the idea?" Huo Que knew that Laurie was a very thoughtful person, so he was also interested.
"I remember when I was a kid I had a fear of heights, and whenever a plane flew over my head, I would think, what if it fell, what if it hit me?" Laurie was caught in a world of his own imagination, squinting at the scenes: "So I don't think I'll ever fly in my life because I'm afraid it's going to fall." β
Laurie hesitated for a moment and continued, "One time our school organized a tour and had to fly. When I arrived at the airport, I was very nervous, I couldn't even speak clearly, I was ready to quit the tour, how they persuaded me to no avail, at this time I liked a girl told me that her sixth sense was very strong, and she could predict that the plane would not fall down, and would arrive at the destination safely. β
At this point, Laurie paused, thinking that maybe the idea he had for a movie was in what he had just said.
When Huo Que heard this, he secretly praised Laurie's imagination in his heart, because he probably thought that the idea had been made into a movie on earth.
That movie is "Death is Coming", which has been filmed for five consecutive years, and the director is Chinese, named Huang Yiyu.
As long as you are a fan of horror movies, you should be no stranger to this movie.
The first part tells the story of a high school student who can predict death, when his school classmates organized a trip to Paris together, he predicted that the plane would explode, so he tried his best to escape from the plane, while the rest of the students and teachers thought he was a madman, and the subsequent outcome was of course that the plane exploded after flying into the sky.
"What if the plane doesn't arrive at its destination safely?" Laurie seemed to be talking to himself, and as if he was thinking about something, he suddenly smiled mysteriously, and said to Huo Que: "I know that the girl I like is comforting me, but I believe it, but at that time I was thinking, if only I could predict what will happen in advance, but this is just thinking about it......"
"Does the idea of the movie you said have anything to do with that?" Huo Que deliberately asked this to see if Laurie had conceived this story.
"Yes!" Laurie nodded: "I was thinking, if I can really predict that the plane will fall, what will happen if I get on the plane, will I die?" Will it survive? β
Huo Que nodded, Laurie had a good imagination, but he went into a misunderstanding, but the good thing was that he met a good boss.
"That's a good idea, or you give me some time, and I'll give you a full script." The reason why Huo Que recruited him as an assistant director was to cultivate director talents for Qilin, since he had such an idea, why not give him a chance?
"You mean to give me a chance to be a director?" How could Laurie not hear the meaning of Huo Que's words.
"It depends on your abilities." Of course, Huo Que would not agree to him immediately, after all, there is still a difference between a director and a screenwriter.
"I'll prove it to you." Laurie said with confidence.
(I'm done right now, thank you for voting for this book every day, I promise you will never be disappointed.) οΌ
