Xu Hengzhou plans to finish filming this movie in a month.

Then it took another month to complete all the editing and post-production work for the film.

And during this period, we will communicate with the theater, the publicity company and the relevant departments, get the broadcast license as soon as possible, and strive to get the movie released within four months!

Of course, Xu Hengzhou did not mean to drag out the follow-up arrangements with the media, but just focused on explaining that the filming of this movie should be completed within a month.

But this alone is enough to make the media smell a hint of hot spots, and ask questions at this point in an instant.

The first question is, is the investment in this film very small?

Generally, if the investment is very large, a movie with a lot of scenes will definitely not be able to be completed in a month.

And Xu Hengzhou is willing to make a high investment in other people's films, when he makes his own movies, the investment budget is so low, is it because he is not confident in his directorial strength?

So after this movie is made, how can he win the trust of the audience and let the audience go to the cinema to watch this movie?

There are also people who ask Xu Hengzhou from another angle.

Since this movie was filmed within 30 days, and it can't use any long scenes, it must take the plot route, so what kind of movie is this movie, what kind of story does it tell, and what kind of plot will it involve?

Well-informed people have already inquired about this part of the factor.

So this part of the media asked more deeply, and they obviously already knew that this movie had science fiction elements.

But according to the premise that the shooting will be completed within 30 days, Xu Hengzhou obviously did not put the time for special effects in it, and everyone knows that if a movie wants to do good special effects, it is impossible not to do more than half a year.

And a science fiction film with poor special effects, does it really make sense to shoot?

Will anyone really go to the cinema to buy tickets for the film after the filming is made?

Maybe this is just Xu Hengzhou's game practice, and it is not extravagant at the box office?

……

When the media asked these questions, Xu Hengzhou was prepared.

focused on promoting them This movie is a soft sci-fi movie, the suspense is very strong, and all the highlights are in the entire plot setting.

Although it doesn't involve any sci-fi scenes, it is definitely a real sci-fi movie.

And this science fiction movie completely integrates the science fiction concepts involved into the whole movie.

Therefore, it is also very friendly to audiences who have not been exposed to science fiction movies, and there is absolutely no situation where they can't understand this movie because they don't like science fiction.

The sci-fi of this film is sci-fi at its core.

All viewers who have seen this movie will definitely feel the charm of science fiction and be shocked by the science fiction concept in it.

Xu Hengzhou has already let go of this cruel remark and praised this science fiction movie to the sky, so the media will naturally publicize Xu Hengzhou's evaluation of this movie to all the public as Xu Hengzhou wishes.

This wave of publicity is very in place, as soon as the opening ceremony of the movie "You, Me and Him" ends that day, all the people on the Internet know that Xu Hengzhou is about to shoot a movie as a director.

And this movie is also a small-budget science fiction film.

Although the two elements of small cost and science fiction sound completely incompatible, Xu Hengzhou has put down his words and said that the movie he shot will definitely surprise science fiction fans, and at the same time, it can also be accepted by audiences who don't like big scenes of hard science fiction but prefer to watch the plot.

Xu Hengzhou's remarks did cause a lot of heated discussions.

The main thing is that science fiction is more magical, and it belongs to the kind of movies that seem to be quite unpopular in China, but in fact have many supporters.

In fact, there are quite a lot of potential audiences, but because of domestic environmental problems, they can't make the movies they want to watch, so everyone is not interested in this type of movie.

On the contrary, if it is a top foreign science fiction film that is transmitted to China, it will definitely trigger a wave of movie-watching craze.

and domestic films with some sci-fi elements, most of which belong to the kind of movies that play with the concept of sci-fi, and they don't play very well, and they are in the clouds, which leads everyone to automatically classify domestic sci-fi films as something more obscure than ordinary literary films in their impressions.

Most of the domestic audiences watch movies for their amusement, and they don't even want to watch literary films in the cinema, let alone be classified as obscure science fiction films by them.

Even a large part of the audience began to complain about their own aesthetics, thinking that they might only deserve to watch the kind of popcorn-style big scenes, preferably science fiction films with 3D scenes.

For example, the Marvel series, then Star Wars, Transformers and the like, and then the Avatar movie.

In short, most of the sci-fi films in the eyes of China are this kind of movies involving aliens, and no matter how bad they are, they will be involved in the interstellar universe and the like.

Like some sci-fi movies that play with concepts, unless it's the kind of classic to international enjoyment, such as The Matrix.

This kind of movie everyone also loves to watch, people play the science fiction concept very well, which makes people feel shocked after watching it, and feel that their thinking limits have been broken, and there is a feeling that the world is so big and strange.

But the problem is that not to mention at home, even abroad rarely can truly integrate the concept of science fiction with movies.

It's not that the public doesn't like to watch science fiction movies, and even says that as long as it's an excellent movie, everyone loves to watch it, but it's just that science fiction movies are more difficult to shoot to the level of excellence.

So at this time, everyone basically has a more pessimistic attitude towards Xu Hengzhou's remarks, thinking that Xu Hengzhou's sci-fi film may also be selling dog meat on the head of a sheep.

When the time comes, I'm afraid it will be no different from previous science fiction films, so it's just a mystery.

Because of this pessimistic attitude, everyone's comments are quite negative.

"Speaking of which, the name "You, Me and Him" doesn't sound good, and it looks like a street movie.

And it's completely out of line with science fiction movies, saying it's a literary film, I believe it, but let's just say that even if a literary film takes such a name, it is estimated that it won't attract many audiences. ”

"Don't say you see the name, I really want to see it, I want to see how bad this movie can be. Manual dog head. ”

Speaking of which, Xu Hengzhou said how to make a movie? Why is he not good at filming? Obviously his acting skills are so good, but he has the talent to act, but he doesn't use it well, it's just been popular for a year or two, and he starts to think about it, and young people just can't stand it. ”

"I very much agree with what I said upstairs, Xu Hengzhou went to invest in other movies before, even if he went to invest in other movies, mainly because Xu Hengzhou starred in those movies, I thought he would bring money into the group. As a result, now Xu Hengzhou plans to direct and act by himself, how much energy is consumed, two things are done together, and the final result is generally that both things are not done well! ”

"I suspect that Xu Hengzhou is a little floating, and I think that Su Youpeng and Huang Bo can transform from actors to directors to make movies, and the box office of the movie is still very good, so I think I can do it.

But the situation is completely different, you must know that the two actors have been immersed in the circle for many years, and their life experience is much richer than that of the students, they have the experience to be a director to export their own concepts, but how old is Xu Hengzhou, does he have goods in his stomach? ”

"Anyway, this movie is broadcast, I won't watch it, at least not at the beginning, if this movie really becomes a dark horse and everyone thinks it's good, then I'm still willing to watch it."

"Then upstairs, I'm afraid you don't have to go to the cinema to spend this money, I bet this movie will definitely hit the street, if you don't hit the street, I'll eat the keyboard live!"

"Upstairs I'm with you, I'm kneeling durian! It just happened to make my wife angry, and the durian that was not finished kneeling knelt. ”

"The one in front, you are sober, people eat keyboards, not kneel keyboards!"

“……”

Before the filming of the first scene of "You, Me and Him", Xu Hengzhou swiped the webpage for a while, intending to relieve himself, because he was a little nervous in the first shooting, and as a result, he saw the comments of these netizens, most of the netizens were not optimistic about the movie they were about to shoot, and most of them felt that their movie would definitely hit the street.

It's not to mention netizens, if it weren't for the fact that the original work of this movie has indeed been sought after by many people, and the score is extremely high, he would have felt that this movie was a street movie when he saw that he had renamed this movie.

Of course, even if the original book has a high score and has been touted by many people, but because the original is a long movie, and then because of the small cost, the shooting is very simple, and the picture quality is like being shot in DV, so after going to the cinema, the box office is actually not too high, and most of us already feel a lot boring at the beginning of watching it, and sleep directly in the cinema, only real science fiction fans will take this movie seriously from beginning to end.

And what Xu Hengzhou wants to do is to condense this boring and lengthy sci-fi movie into a movie of about two hours, with ups and downs in the plot, and fascinating.

Sometimes it's much harder to do subtraction than addition.

So he's not really confident that he'll be able to do that.

His current goal is to keep the core of the original as much as possible, and let him do the rest.

After reading everyone's comments, Xu Hengzhou was not so nervous, now everything is ready, and the next thing just needs to go on step by step.

He looked at the sky, and the clouds were very thick tonight, and the moon looked very dark behind the clouds, making the surrounding environment darker and brighter.

It is suitable for taking pictures at night after the power is off.

However, it may not be possible to shoot the decisive scene today, because the power outage is arranged above the last node.

And before that, there are many, many nodes, and if those nodes can't achieve the results that Xu Hengzhou is satisfied with, then he will directly ask for a new shot.

Xu Hengzhou, with the help of the staff, sorted out his makeup, hair and clothes again, and then walked into the picture steadily, joining several actors who were already sitting on the long table and devoting themselves to the role, and were communicating with each other.

Then the opening of the film made a gesture to the assistant director who was in charge of the camera.

Whether it is the angle of the camera, or the picture and several nodes he wants, this scene is all set in advance and has been explained to the assistant director.

So, even though he wasn't behind the monitor while he was watching, he was still the real director of the scene.

Maybe other directors will find it very difficult to grasp this state of directing and acting, but for Xu Hengzhou, this feeling is just right.

Because for him, the identity of an actor is indeed more secure, and the filming of the director under the protection of the identity of an actor makes him feel easier to get started.

So as soon as he entered the camera, the state of the whole person rose.

As the only one among all the actors who knows the plot setting of the whole scene, Xu Hengzhou is not worried about his own performance, and he can't be completely real, because the role he plays can be said to be the most brainless one among the seven people present, he is the only one who is, carefree, innocent, lively and happy, and even he is the only one from beginning to end, and he has never thought about the existence of parallel time and space.

Even the kids are a little more thoughtful than he is.

That's right, Xu Hengzhou positioned himself as a vase role in this movie.

All of his lines in this movie are also very similar, basically-

"Why?"

"I don't believe it."

"Impossible."

"Don't laugh."

"Everyone, be happy."

"It's a day to be happy, it's a day to be unhappy, let's not think so much."

"What parallel time and space, then wouldn't I be able to have tens of thousands of wives at the same time? Wait, no, it could be billions. ”

"What? Do you still want to kill me? How can it be? Don't laugh, brother, I don't think I'll be able to do anything to kill myself on another plane. ”

"Well, if you really want to kill me, can you let me beat myself first? I want to faint first. ”

“……”

It's the first time for him to play this kind of role, and he actually thinks it's quite interesting to say this kind of line that seems particularly silly, and he plans to carry out the brainlessness of this role to the end, and play this role without thinking or braining at all.

More often, he will put his focus on the overall planning of the entire movie.

For this film, acting is just an auxiliary means to allow himself to participate in the whole shooting in real time, and he will actually focus more on the role of director.
