A movie, his actual shooting process, in fact, only accounts for one-fifth of the entire production process, the feasibility report during the pre-incubation period, as well as the script modification in the production process, the selection of actors, and the shooting plan, the operation of the actual shooting, and then the scope of post-editing special effects production, and finally, after the film is completed, how to make a perfect plan, publicity and distribution, is the biggest focus, among them, there are many excellent movies, because they did not find the right owner, the publicity was not strong, resulting in the street, The most obvious example is Disney and Pixar's co-production of "Mind Squad". Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

After "Mind Squad" was released in 3946 theaters in the United States, it achieved a box office of $90.44 million in the first week, and finally the domestic box office in the United States was $356 million, and the worldwide box office was $851 million.

Just over 100 million, the hardships of Huaxia Film Distribution Co., Ltd., which is the agent of distribution, almost lost, after all, it is a sharing fee, and it has to be shared with Pixar, distribution costs, etc., it is likely that Huaxia will lose money on this movie.

The reason for the loss,Naturally, it's in the hype of Huaxia.,Low,Low-level is OK.,It's obviously an adult cartoon for white-collar workers in Kochi.,But it's used as a movie for children to promote.,If you don't die, who will die.。

So, distribution is important, publicity is important, hype is important.

Of course, you can't be reduced to the same as the later **** film and television dramas, the plot is completely plagiarized, and you live by hype, such as a certain Liu Tianxian, her contract love with a certain Nanbang is just for hype, but the movie box office has not been hyped, after all, the means are too ......

Ahem, ahem.

Of course, this film, "Death Video", in the sense, is a new viral marketing strategy, which will be cross-era, and its most advanced, self-media, and art.

His appearance expresses that the public is no longer willing to be a passive recipient of information, but is eager to become a node transmitter of information, which can be regarded as the progress of the times, after all, who doesn't brush a circle of friends now.

But in terms of the production of the movie itself, it can be called a collection of shoddy productions, Wang Jie didn't have that mind after all, starting from little by little, first pulling the film, studying the script, and story structure, and the fault tolerance rate of this movie is still very high.

Yes, from the first ten minutes, the female reporter Angela Vidal interviewed in the office of a fire brigade, the conversation between the bold and strong firefighters began, and then the footage of following the fire brigade and going out of the car in an ambulance was quite normal, and then after entering the rescued community, the progress gradually accelerated, the plot was pushed forward, and the photographer's tremor was unavoidable.

"Director, this shot seems to be a little crooked." The photographer was a little apologetic.

Wang Jie has been standing in front of the viewfinder, Paris sat next to him leisurely wiping nail polish, looking at Wang Jie who was standing high on the side.

"Well, it's okay, I think the effect is good, that's all." Wang Jieman didn't care, but the hired photographer accidentally stepped on some air, so it was a little unstable, but fortunately, there was no goof, so don't care.

The photographer also seems to have some understanding, this crew is actually in charge, not called the director, but the little beauty who only cares about wiping nail polish and looking in the mirror, but the young man standing on the side, said: "Then, this scene can be over." ”

Wang Jie said: "Yes, let's take a break, move the equipment into the house, it's time to shoot the scene of being locked in the house." ”

The photographer suddenly said: "That's the case, I still think, should we change the film, the 16mm film we are using now is really not suitable for filming, and I am a little unaccustomed to it." ”

Wang Jie shook his head, no, no, as soon as he used it, he would wear it out, and said: "Don't say anything about this, I've already decided, it's 16mm, everyone work hard, finish shooting today, and tomorrow will be easy, and strive to get all this done in three days." ”

Before digital cameras occupied the absolute mainstream of film and television dramas, movies have always used film, and these films are most commonly used 35mm film to shoot movies, some high-cost films, will use 65mm, and Wang Jie's 16mm camera is commonly used in documentaries.

It's reasonable, isn't it, Wang Jie thought twice, or in order to be more realistic, he used 16mm film, which was not to save money, but to look more like an original interview activity.

Looking at the somewhat helpless photographer, Wang Jie smiled, didn't speak, and began to continue to work, compared to the meticulous craftsmanship in the crew of "Friends", as well as the effort spent in "Star Wars", ng constantly, the shooting of "Death Video" can be called speed and harmony, as long as it is not a major mistake, such as the wrong line or something, many times it can be passed twice, directly replaced with a scene, sometimes it is a passing time, and there are only a few occasions when it is filmed three times.

Generally speaking, the script design of "Death Video", the whole movie has a plot of about 60 minutes, and then add subtitles before and after, plus the final stage, the "righteous" reporter said that after "accidentally" picking up this videotape, he edited it himself before sending it to the cinema for release, hoping that the "just" American people can pay attention to this matter and pay attention to the government's possible hidden deeds.

Yunyun

Roughly 6 hours of film is enough to cope with this, Wang Jie has already made up his mind to act as the reporter, anyway, he just hides in the dark, uses his back to the camera, and then says something inconsequential.

This movie is as simple as that.

For a director, drawing a storyboard and interpreting the lens is an inevitable skill point, but it takes time to precipitate, and although Wang Jie can barely pass the painting, he can directly make such a movie, it can be said that this kind of pseudo-documentary represented by the death video is really a strange content in the film industry.

The progress was very, very fast, so that everyone else in the crew had some bizarre hallucinations, and on the third day, the plot was pushed to the end.

Wang Jie's filming went smoothly, and it was filmed from front to back according to the plot, the advantage of this is that it can make it easier for actors to integrate into the script, for example, when Wang Jie was filming Star Wars, he first finished filming the middle and solution part of the plot in London, first hung up, and then went to Tunisi and Italy to shoot the beginning of the plot.

Another benefit is that it is such a design, fewer and fewer actors are needed, and the difficulty of management is gradually reduced, after all, this is a zombie film full of murderous intent, no matter what kind of film, after the opening of the family carnival at the beginning, through countless killings, of course, the characters themselves are sent to death as much, and in the later stage, there will be fewer and fewer people left.

Wang Jie rented an old house in Burbank, which belonged to an old Chinese man in Chinatown, because Wang Jie now has a lot of good reputation for Chinatown, it is a half-price rent, and the decoration is not very needed, and the whole movie scene changes quickly, and there is no need for any complicated design.

The phone rang, and after Wang Jie answered, he said, "Oh, it's here, okay, I'll pick you up." ”

Wang Jie said to Paris: "Director, I'm going to pick up our little actors, you wait here, they're doing makeup." ”

Paris held her head high, seemed to be very interested in this game, pretended to be Chen Jing, looked like a queen, and said proudly: "Okay, you go, come back quickly." Wang Jie took a look, this rich girl is getting more and more into the state, so it's okay, when the publicity starts, you will have to rely on her as a shield.

Wang Jie ran out, drove to pick up people, and after waiting for a while, he took a little girl with a pink carving, and her father behind him was naturally Taylor Swift and her father, after being led into the house, Taylor didn't seem to be afraid of going to a strange place at all, but looked left and right curiously, and said: "This is the set, it's different from what I thought." ”

Wang Jie said: "So, Taylor, what do you imagine the set to look like. ”

Taylor pouted, playfully flicked his long braids twice, and said, "At the very least, there must be a team of policemen, holding submachine guns, rushing out of the street corner, and shooting with a dud." ”

Wang Jie Muran said: "You are a gunfight movie," and then he smiled and said: "Okay, next time I make a gunfight movie, I will also invite you to make a cameo." ”

"Okay, but why does it feel so broken here?" Taylor said with no fuss.

Wang Jie explained: "Because this place is about to be demolished, I specially borrowed it before it was demolished." He turned to Scott Swift to the side and said, "Mr. Swift, thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to send Taylor here, I'm ready to go, and I'll be able to do it soon, just a small shot." ”

Scott Swift can be said to have watched Wang Jie rise from unknown, so he still trusts him very much, and he also feels that the movie he made may not be simple, but he knows Wang Jie's "true" identity, unlike the other members of the crew, who are still kept in the dark.

Scott said: "It's nothing, Taylor has already finished the exams, and she's willing to help you do the show, it's nothing." ”

Wang Jie said: "So, Taylor is still very talented in music? ”

Hearing this, Scott said proudly: "Yes, I watched her learn to play the piano, and she is indeed talented." ”

Wang Jie said: "After a few years, I know more widely in the Los Angeles circle, and I helped her find a reliable company to sign a contract. ”

"Then thank you very much, I just don't know if this kid has this luck."

Wang Jie shook his head secretly, and said in his heart that you don't know how crazy your daughter will be in the future, how much does he know, turned his head to look at Taylor, who was being pulled over by the makeup artist, and said, "Taylor, do you know what you're going to do." ”

Taylor was a little impatient, and said proudly: "Of course I know, I just pretended that I didn't have any expression at all, and then suddenly broke out and bited, I had already done it in front of my father when I was in the hotel." ”

"Okay," Wang Jie beckoned: "Everyone come here, let's take a seat first, and see how this little genius is." ”

In fact, Taylor's "face art" is indeed not blown, all kinds of exaggerated expressions in later generations, at this time it is actually a certain behavioral habit, although at the beginning, Taylor suddenly laughed, but immediately said: "I'm sorry, I'm not ready." ”

Wang Jie said: "It's okay, I don't have the machine turned on here at all, you can see for yourself." He took a mirror and said, "You are playing a little monster now, and none of the adults around you can beat you, keep your eyes open wider, and don't make other expressions and movements." ”

So again, the effect is much better, Taylor looked at his face, after being sprinkled with ketchup, it was indescribably weird, but it couldn't be wiped off, he was really not used to it.

After the official start of filming, Taylor's effect was very good, after deliberately covering up the lights, the picture focused on showing her expressionless face, it seems that this is a girl who has been controlled by the virus, has lost her nature, and suddenly erupts to attack people, others are not doing much, but Paris who was sitting there was startled, and Scott Swift underestimated: "This girl often does this when she is at home." ”

Smooth, smooth, until the end, everyone else died almost, only the female reporter came to the attic on the top floor, and the figure that suddenly appeared, naturally Wang Jie himself was in charge, he had already bought the clothes for the Halloween parade, and in the room that had been prepared a long time ago, the doors, windows and other light sources were covered, and only a little light was used to shoot, only a little outline was left.

Pretending to be a "monster" and passing by the camera, Paris shouts, "Goodtake." The whole shooting is basically over, of course, waiting for the back, there is still the "justice" reporter, in order to prevent being found by the police, and face the camera with his back, and say, how to find this videotape, Wang Jie plans to return to the villa, just make it up by himself.

"That's it?" Paris couldn't believe it and said, "I have the impression that a lot of movies take a long time to finish. ”

Wang Jie said: "That's it in the script, don't worry. ”

dismissed the crew and told everyone not to show up recently, Wang Jie made up his mind to wait until Halloween Eve, and directly asked a few leading actors to go out to travel when they should go out, and go back to Australia when they should go back to Australia to see, as long as the first few weeks have passed the limelight and the box office has been earned, everything is easy to say.

After loading the film and equipment in the car, Wang Jie sent Paris and Swift father and daughter back to the hotel, and drove home directly, after returning home, only Fabiola himself was in the villa, and he was struggling to tinker with something on a computer, when he saw Wang Jie coming back, he said: "You are back, I have hot soup." ”

Wang Jie waved his hand and said, "Let's not talk about this, Fabiola, post on the Internet, what's the situation." ”
