Chapter 74: Transition to Xiangjiang

"Nolan has always been known as a genius director, and "Batman: The Mystery of the Shadows" has a global box office of $373 million, and it has an excellent reputation, which can be regarded as a good start for the reboot of the Batman series of movies." Li Xuehua said on the phone.

Li Lianhua sneered: "I don't know if Nolan is a genius director, the box office of "The Mystery of the Shadow" is indeed very powerful at $373 million, but Li Mu's "Assassin" $355 million is not bad at all. And "The Mystery of the Shadow" is a big IP, supported by a huge group of comic fans, "Assassin" is original content, and it is an unpopular Chinese protagonist movie in the international film market, no matter how you look at it, Li Mu's "Assassin" is more powerful, if Nolan is a genius director, then Li Mu is even more. ”

"Big IP?"

"Intellectual property, Li Mu often talks about it."

"Li Mu is really powerful, among the people we know, there is such an achievement at this age, and I really can't find a second one."

"Mmmmmm, you weren't at the scene at the time, you didn't see Li Mu deducing the second plot of Batman on the spot, and when the storyboard was drawn on the spot, the ghostly expressions of the Nolan brothers, the genius director Nolan's head was sweating." Li Lianhua suddenly became excited as she spoke.

Li Xuehua still felt a little incredible, and said with a smile: "Li Mu is indeed very powerful, but sister, who knows how many times you exaggerated the situation at that time to tell me, you know, when people describe a thing, basically no one can do it without exaggerating at all." ”

"Exaggerated? A few days later, Director Nolan called to invite Li Mu to participate in the screenwriting of Batman Part 2, if he hadn't been stopped by Li Mu's deduction, how could he have made this call? However, Li Mu also took the opportunity to invite Nolan to give advice for "Inception", maybe this matter will become a good story of sympathy in the future. ”

Li Xuehua still couldn't believe it, and she had to believe that her sister wouldn't lie to her, but the process she described was ......

"Okay, good, I believe you, Li Mu is really, really powerful." Li Xuehua suddenly changed the topic with a smile and said, "My fair gentleman, the lady is good." Since he's so good, why don't you hurry up and chase him? ”

Li Xuehua and Li Lianhua sisters have a very good relationship, and the two often make this kind of similar jokes in private, if Li Lianhua in the past usually went back with a smile immediately, but this time she was silent for a while.

"What a fair gentleman and lady, I'm so much older than him, at most a mature woman."

"Isn't it eleven years older, what's the big deal, just allow men to find thirty or forty years younger than themselves, and don't allow women to find people who are more than ten years younger than themselves?"

"My own sister, a man can find a woman who is thirty or forty years younger than himself, that is a woman who needs a man's resources, does Li Mu need a woman's resources? He was already so successful at such a young age. ”

The two sisters hung up the phone after chatting a few more words, Li Lianhua was lying on the bed in the hotel arranged by the crew, looking at the ceiling above her head with her hands, and remembered a certain TV show she had participated in with Ren Quan in 01.

"Ren Quan, do you like me?"

"The main thing is too familiar, and that sense of mystery is gone."

"It's really not that meaning, the two of us just filmed "One Foot in the Country", in which the two of us fell in love, and the director said that the two of us were very romantic walking on the path. Because they are about to break up, the director said that it is very romantic, it is very sweet, and it is the feeling of lovers. Then he took my hand and said to me as he walked: 'Hey, Li Lianhua, I really don't feel like I'm playing with you. ’”

Ren Quan said that she was too familiar and didn't feel it, and she also echoed that she was too familiar and didn't feel it, but what if she didn't agree with the situation at that time?

……

The next day, Lucy was filmed in the studio.

The guards tease Lucy for refusal, and in anger, he kicks Lucy in the abdomen, causing the bag hidden in Lucy's abdomen to burst, and the drug then seeps into Lucy's body.

In this scene, Lucy struggles to roll on the roof of the shed in violation of the laws of physics, and the shooting method is also very simple, that is, arrange two identical rooms, one room is positive and one room is reversed, so that the actor can roll on the ground to shoot the effect of rolling on the top of the ceiling.

"We need live recording for this scene, and we also want to avoid the destruction of the live set, so all the people who enter the scene must take off their shoes, and repeat again, the on-site personnel will take off their shoes." The field attendant kept reminding him with a megaphone.

After a while, the field attendant ran to Li Mu's side: "Director, it's all ready." ”

Li Mu nodded:

"Attention departments, countdown to three-two-one, start!"

With Li Mu's order, Li Lianhua, who was lying on the ground, began to moan in pain while her whole body twitched violently.

The crew here uses a rotating shooting platform that is more common in Hollywood, and the electronic cannon completes the precise shooting control, which can perfectly present the upside-down effect.

"Click!"

"Director." Li Lianhua also stood up and walked over at this time.

Li Mu shook his head slightly:

"It still doesn't feel right, and what I'm going to highlight here is the effect of breaking the rules. Man can struggle on the roof of a shed, he can violate the laws of physics, he can ignore all the laws of reality. In this way, it is possible to show the incredible series of changes that can be triggered by the rapid increase in the proportion of brain development in people. Sister Lianhua's performance just now was very good, and the feeling of pain was also well expressed, but this is the pain of ordinary people, not the pain of people whose brains begin to develop rapidly. ”

"Why don't I be a little more exaggerated?"

Li Mu nodded.

The crew immediately went into action, and filming resumed a few minutes later.

"Click!"

Li Mu soon shouted again.

"It still doesn't feel right, this time it's not as good as last time."

Li Lianhua was silent this time, she really couldn't perform the struggle that violated the laws of reality, this is not a problem of acting skills.

"Or use post-production special effects to create that effect that defies the laws of reality?"

"The effect of Lucy struggling on the roof of the shed is already a violation of the laws of physics, and it doesn't really make much of a difference to look like a normal person when struggling."

"If you don't let Sister Lianhua try a few more times, shoot more, and you can always find the desired effect."

The assistant directors around him saw that the filming had reached an impasse, so they stepped forward one after another to offer advice.

Li Lianhua also said at this time: "Director, I think what the executive director just said makes sense, you can always find the desired effect if you shoot more times, or let's shoot a few more times." ”

Li Mu turned his head and saw the WIA equipment beside him, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration:

"How about you say that all the limbs, joints and important parts of Li Lianhua's body are tied to Weiya equipment? After the filming starts, four or five staff members pull different ropes respectively, so that each part of the lotus's body moves separately, and it is impossible for normal humans to make such a struggle action, so don't we want to break all the laws? ”

Li Lianhua's eyes flashed: "I feel that this method can be used!" ”

When the field manager heard this, he immediately went to arrange it.

The departments sprang into action, and filming resumed twenty minutes later.

The field notes hit the board, and Li Mu shouted the countdown:

"Three-two-one, let's go!"

"Ah...... Forehead...... Ah......h

Li Lianhua was lying on the ground struggling desperately, and the executive director made a gesture, and the five staff members next to her began to pull the rope in their hands.

The five people pulled one in each hand, a total of ten ropes were tied to various parts of Li Lianhua's body, and with the irregular pulling of the ten ropes, Li Lianhua's body immediately made all kinds of incredible shaking.

"Ah...... Ah......h

Li Lianhua was struggling and wailing in pain, but the five staff members who pulled the rope were all smiling, as if they were playing a particularly interesting game.

"Click!"

With Li Mu's order, the five staff members stopped their movements with some unsatisfactory intentions.

"Okay, that's it."

Li Lianhua also stood up and walked over at this time, and several assistant directors stepped forward to praise him.

"Very good."

"It's exciting."

"It's a little scary, all parts of your body are shaking, I thought you were going to become a zombie."

Li Mu smiled: "How do you feel?" ”

Li Lianhua: "It's okay, it's just that I have some strange thoughts in my head. ”

"Strange ideas?"

"Well, it's like I'm going to be divided by you, and I'm a little scared."

"Hahaha......"

Several people burst out laughing.

……

On November 16, the crew completed all the filming tasks in the United States, and Li Mu led the team to transfer to Xiangjiang to continue filming.
