Chapter 290: "Old Boy" is officially launched!
Therefore, "Old Boy" can indeed be shared in many time and space, because many guys who have reached the age of middle-aged people may be in such a situation in their hearts.
The future has not yet appeared, but the past is already there.
Moreover, it can be predicted, even if you work hard, but after all, it is still possible that there will not be too many in the future, and it will be difficult to realize the dreams you once had.
Many things, with the years that are rolling like water, and with the time that continues to fly, can only finally dissipate in the long river of history, at most, it is only after getting old, I can't help but let out a leisurely sigh in my mouth......
After all, this kind of thing always makes people feel a little tempting, but it always makes people feel that they have no choice in the passage of time, and they can only gradually choose to be buried in the depths of their hearts.
However, buried in the depths of one's heart, it does not mean that it is forgotten, in fact, the dream that Li Chencan said is like a classic, timeless, and in many cases, it really has a special magic, and there is also a shocking neutrality, indeed, in the eyes of many people, the dream is really like a classic, sometimes even if you want to forget it, you can't forget it.
In such a "Old Boy", they really see too many things.
Strictly speaking, it's not that they see too many things, but that they think about a lot of things in them that they need to spend time savoring.
So, this script "Old Boy" really attracted the two of them, not because they thought that they could get much benefit from following Li Chencan to shoot this film. The point is, the film itself is also worth their joining.
The two took over the film without hesitation.
Hearing Li Song and Lu Weidong's replies, Luo Lijie also said to Li Chencan with some emotion: "It seems that you already have a certain appeal. Stars like them can come to you. ”
Li Chencan smiled: "This may be infected by my personality charm." ”
"Hmm......" Hearing Li Chencan's words that give a little sunshine, Luo Lijie was speechless for a moment, and it took a long time before he said, "Okay...... So be it...... Their schedule has been sent, and I have arranged a shooting time for their schedule, so you can see later, and tell me if you think anything is wrong. ”
"Okay, you can give it to me." Li Chencan snorted.
Soon. Luo Lijie gave this schedule and his arrangement to Li Chencan, and there was basically no problem, after all. The filming cycle of "Old Boy" is very short, about two weeks to finish, this is because Li Chencan is more demanding of quality, otherwise. This one may be filmed in just over a week.
The original version of "Old Boy" was without 600,000 yuan in funds. It was shot within a week, but it still caused a wide sensation after it was filmed.
And in this life, needless to say, the others filmed by Li Chencan are at least absolutely abundant in terms of funds.
Also, shooting in many other places will become a little easier.
At this time, there is no conflict between the two actors, and it can also ensure that "Old Boy" is completed in accordance with quality and quantity, and all this can also be put into the track of normal execution as much as possible.
The preparation for the filming of "Old Boy" has also entered the most advanced stage.
Li Chencan himself was not fully involved in the meticulous preparations. Because of these things, he served as the chief director. The main thing is to do a general control in some places, and will not personally participate, Li Chencan in the previous life was one of those who personally participated in everything and did everything, but now that he is a director, some things are finally not so troublesome.
But this kind of control also takes time and wrist, Li Chencan's current team is very small, and there are fewer things, but when he takes over the directing of some big movies, these things will gradually become complicated, and Li Chencan is now gradually familiar with such a step-by-step process.
On this day, they came to the place where the set was made.
The set is usually a very tedious and difficult thing in a movie, and you have to put a lot of things in place, and then you have to toss and turn it several times during filming to finally settle it.
Therefore, before the filming of "Oldboy" officially began, it took a long time, just to find the right scene, and then set up the required landscape.
The schools in the eighties and nineties of the empire are different from the schools in China in the eighties and nineties in the original time and space, so Li Chencan's version of "Old Boy" will naturally be different from that version of "Old Boy". There are many people in the high school here who drive to and from school, the living conditions in the junior high school are much better, and the accommodation environment for the students is also very good, which is much better than the original "Old Boy", which is within the scope of consideration.
In the first half of "Old Boy", what needs to be filmed most is the feeling that can resonate with people, that is, a sense of nostalgia.
This kind of nostalgia doesn't actually need to be filmed very carefully, and you don't need to abide by many movie rules and film grammar that need to be carefully imagined, as long as you try to restore the style of that era...... As long as it is restored as much as possible, this sense of nostalgia will come out.
But it is not a simple thing to complete this restoration, which involves a lot of details, and the restoration is not a little bit of a little bit of a casual impersonation, and the restoration still needs a kind of detail thing.
It took a long time for the scenes here to finally complete the restoration work, rent these things, and then roughly decorate this place to the way it needs to be used, which has cost a lot of work and money, in short, up to now, just these scenes, the crew's investment has reached more than 800,000......
Li Chencan has now discovered that although many places in the empire are much better than China in another time and space, after all, this is a superpower, but this also brings a problem that the cost of making movies is high!
In another time and space, "Old Boy" was filmed in a total of one week, and the investment in the whole process was only 600,000 yuan...... And now, seeing that the crew of Li Chencan's "Old Boy" has broken through this number, counting the salary, counting the cost of various rental equipment, plus many people's remuneration and miscellaneous, the approximate budget, it is difficult to get it with less than 3 million, and this is just a micro-movie......
On the one hand, this is because Li Chencan wants to make the micro-film more elegant, which of course requires more money, Li Chencan is the current shooting environment, which is of course much better than the chopsticks brothers who filmed "Old Boy" in their previous life.
If the chopsticks brothers also had tens of millions of funds on hand at that time, then "Old Boy" must be a different look, there is no doubt about it.
And now Li Chencan, he just wants to make "Old Boy" better.
On the other hand, the reason is that there are many things in the labor world in this world, and the cost is much higher than that of China in another time and space, especially the labor cost, which is not at all comparable to China in that time and space...... Li Chencan used to calculate the cost of filming "Old Boy" based on China's labor costs, but he later realized what kind of mistake this was......
Even though it's just a 30-plus-minute movie, it costs that much money......
Of course, if it is a pure micro-film, a modern micro-film that does not involve costumes and sets, it will not cost so much money, but the problem is that "Old Boy" needs to use two good actors, a lot of sets, and a lot of manual ......
This has led to a spike in the cost of filming.
But even if the shooting cost soars, Li Chencan will not hesitate, there is still a set of revenue channels for micro films in the empire, he believes that if the main "Old Boy" can become popular in this world, there should be no problem in making this film recover its cost and even make a profit.
What's more, for Li Chencan, the original purpose of "Old Boy" was not to make money at all, but to get a stepping stone to enter the film industry.
In this way, Li Chencan's investment in "Old Boy" is also a big wave......
On March 27th, "Old Boy" was officially launched!
There was no kick-off ceremony, no media arrival, just a few actors came to the scene, and all the cast and crew had already arrived on the set.
Li Chencan saw Li Song and Lu Weidong again, and the two of them will play two characters in the movie: Dabao and Xiaoshuai.
When Li Chencan saw the two people, he first greeted them, smiled at them, and said, "Brother Lu, Brother Li, thank you for coming...... This movie needs you a lot. ”
Both of them were smiling, and Lu Weidong didn't speak for the time being, but waited for Li Song to say to Li Chencan first: "It's okay...... Actually, the main reason is that I like this script more, and I feel that it has mobilized some feelings in my heart......"
Lu Weidong waited for Li Song to say what his purpose was, of course, because his status in the entertainment industry was still a lot worse than Li Song's, and now he said to Li Chencan: "I'm the same, this script really feels good." ”
"Anyway, thank you both." Li Chencan smiled: "In the next period of time, it may be quite difficult to shoot, and I hope you don't blame me for being the ......."
"We are all actors, this bit of ethics, this bit of psychological preparation is still there."
