Chapter 1038: 3 Billion Plus Box Office Champion (Ask for Subscription!) )
Today's start-up ceremony is really full of news, and just asked a few questions that made reporters from all walks of life excited, but everyone also knows that although Xu Shi'an is also a director, he is an old fritter after all. has dealt with the media for most of his life, he is like a loach covered in oil, if he is not willing, it is impossible to give them a chance to attack, so then everyone aimed their firepower at Xu Yinglong and Ziyi, the two heroes and heroines.
"Xu Shao, I am a reporter from Oriental Entertainment Xintiandi, may I ask what role you play in the play, and are you a pair of lovers with Miss Ziyi?" Xu Yinglong immediately replied: "I play a hard-working child who came out of the depths of the mountains in the play, has no relatives and no friends, and relies on his own efforts and talents to reach the top step by step. Yue Wuxin played by Ziyi is a royal princess with a bright heart like the rising sun, perseverance and perseverance, soft on the outside and strong on the inside, she and the male protagonist I played met because of the snatching of spirit beasts, the two did not know each other, and then gradually fell in love, and helped each other escape from death at the moment of crisis, which is considered a friend in distress. ”
"Xu Shao, I'm a reporter from the Beijing News, did you create "Against the Mortal Dust" alone?"
"Well, I did it alone, and the manuscript is about 200,000 words, which is a complete story. However, when it came time to convert the novel into a screenplay, I asked someone to help, because I am not a professional screenwriter, thank you! Xu Yinglong said.
"Xu Shao, I am a reporter with no bottom line in entertainment, according to someone on the Internet, someone broke the news that you and Ji Hanlei, the eldest lady of the Ji Group, have secretly obtained the certificate, is this this? Others say that you are secretly pregnant with a daughter. Is this true? ”
Xu Yinglong glanced at the male reporter who asked the question, and then said lightly: "Today is the launching ceremony of "Reverse Dust". Please respect Director Xu and the rest of the crew, don't ask me these gossip questions, okay? ”
"Xu Shao. I'm a reporter from Groom.com, what are your expectations for the box office of this movie? ”
Xu Yinglong smiled and said: "It stands to reason that Director Xu has estimated the box office of 2 billion, and if I say another number, it will seem to be dismantling Director Xu's stage, but as the author of "Reverse Dust", I am still very confident in my work. The book is definitely better than any Xianxia novel you've ever read, and even though it's only 200,000 words, it's still a great way to get you hooked. So I personally estimate that the box office of this movie will reach more than 3 billion, and it will directly win the box office champion of Chinese films. ”
"Shhh
Everyone gasped, and then the reporters slammed the shutter in their hands like chicken blood. Xu Yinglong's words are really amazing. 3 billion is enough, and it will directly win the box office championship of Chinese films. Is this possible?
"Xu Shao, I'm a reporter for popular films, are you serious about what you just said? Is the 3 billion box office a casual remark or do you really think that this movie has the potential to win the box office championship of Chinese films? ”
Xu Yinglong smiled and said: "I really don't like to go through my brain when I talk in the first twenty years, and I often say some unreliable things, but I am no longer a young man in my early twenties, so I don't like to talk empty words." I said that the box office of "Against the Mortal" may reach 3 billion Chinese coins is justified, as for what the basis is, please look forward to the day when the movie is released! ”
"Miss Ziyi, I am a reporter from the Northern Daily, may I ask you that you have disappeared from the public eye for a long time since last year. Many people have been rumored that you want to quit the entertainment industry, is this true? ”
Ziyi smiled and said, "Of course it's impossible, the reason why I have appeared less in public in the past two years is because I feel that my strength is still lacking." Therefore, he is learning from a famous teacher. From next year onwards, I will increase my workload and try to make more headlines. ”
"Miss Ziyi, I'm a reporter from the Kyoto Youth Daily. Is the famous teacher you just mentioned Xu Shao? You took the initiative to worship Xu Shao as a teacher at the draft site two years ago, are you still commensurate with your master and apprentice? ”
"Hmm. The famous teacher I am talking about is Xu Shao, and I have been studying vocal music and dance with him since the year before. And quite an achievement. At the end of the year, the master will hold a solo concert in Tianhai, and I will sing on stage as a guest at that time, and you will know what I have learned in the past two years! ”
The tedious start-up ceremony is finally over, but the matter does not end there, after the start-up ceremony, I will visit the filming site, mainly to let the media reporters take a look at the makeup effects of the actors.
Location: In front of the Ming and Qing Dynasty palaces.
Participants: All staff of the crew, media reporters
This scene is the story of the princess Yue Wuxin of the Great Qin Dynasty who escaped from the imperial city without makeup because she was unwilling to obey her father and let her marry someone she didn't like.
After the transfer to the palace of the Ming and Qing dynasties, director Xu Shi'an quickly called the left and right people together after arriving at the scene for filming, briefly explained the filming requirements and plans of the scene to all the staff, and then dispersed to do their own things.
Then the assistant director Zhang Qiang concentrated all the actors in the scene in the performance area, and the photographer, assistant, gaffer, artist and lighting stand-in listened and observed, Xu Shi'an then instructed the actors to move, and used the simplest method to roughly perform the content of the lens, and then studied together with the photographer, using the viewfinder to set the camera position, scene and movement method, accurate to the start and fall of the track, the focal length and high and low position of the lens are recorded.
Since there was no Xu Yinglong in this scene, he just painted a full body makeup at the request of media reporters, put the protagonist's clothes on his body, and then posed a few poses for reporters to shoot, and the matter will be over later.
However, Xu Yinglong did not go back to the hotel, but sat not far away to watch the specific shooting steps. To be honest, at the beginning of this, Xu Yinglong found that making movies and making MVs are two different things. He has also filmed MVs before, but it feels very simple to him, and it is not as troublesome as it is now.
Seeing Xu Yinglong watching attentively on the side, assistant director Zhang Qiang came over and said, "How do you feel?" ”
"It's very fresh, it's very different from shooting MVs, most of the time when shooting MVs, the director directly explains and starts shooting, it's not so troublesome!" Xu Yinglong said truthfully.
"Hehe, I don't know, how can MV compare with real filmmaking. The layout of the MV is too small, and even if there is any mistake, it can be corrected in time. So the director and the actors are relatively relaxed, and there is no need for such a cumbersome step. But movies are different, sometimes a scene has to invite thousands of extras, and some props are also expensive, and even cost millions of dollars for a scene, if you need to reshoot it because it is not arranged, the price is too great. ”
"What is the director doing now, can this avoid reshooting?"
"It's called positioning, and it's when the director tells the actors where they are before filming. This process is very important, and only by doing so will all departments have a clear understanding of the design of the lens, the range of sight, and the elements required, which will greatly improve the success rate of the shot. But this does not avoid flaws, after all, actors are also human beings, and human beings will make mistakes, so it is normal to reshoot them when filming a movie. Zhang Qiang said with a smile.
"So that's the case, if you shoot like this, I'm afraid it will take a lot of time to finish the whole movie!" Xu Yinglong asked again.
I remember that more than 20 years ago, when I was still studying in the Xiangjiang film industry, I had the impression that the on-site operation was full of shouts and random urging, and on the surface it seemed that the atmosphere was warm and tense, but in fact it was chaos. On the surface, every second counts, but in fact it is inefficient, and often a scene requires dozens of repeated shots to pass. Especially when filming martial arts scenes, it's miserable! ”
Then Zhang Qiang said: "Look carefully, it's always right for young people to learn more, especially a very powerful actor like you, acting and directing, if you learn well, you may be able to shoot your own movies one day!" Hehe! (To be continued.) )
