Chapter 32: Jaws!
On May 20th, Li Qian got up early, jogged in the community for an hour, and brought breakfast by the way.
After showering, after breakfast, turn on the computer.
Reading all kinds of news on the Internet every day is a habit that Li Qian has maintained for more than a year.
There is no new news, Guo Deguang was pulled out and whipped again, on March 15th, in the 3.15 evening program, it was revealed that the cost of the weight loss tea he endorsed was only 6 yuan, but the external price was 29 yuan, and the value of his endorsement was as high as 2 million.
The goods were taken off the shelves, the advertisements were stopped, and he himself did not apologize, saying that CCTV and industry and commerce apologized, so he apologized and was scolded intermittently for two months.
Xiao Tingfeng's wife Zhang Bozhi was photographed with her belly getting bigger and bigger, and the media speculated about the delivery date.
There is no new news, but Xia Yu and Yuan Quan were photographed holding hands, the golden boy and girl seem to have signs of rekindling their old love, plus Gao Yuanyuan, this love triangle is engaged.
After reading the news, I flipped through the mailbox, and the data from Galaxy Video came.
"Sniper Phone Booth" reached 176,000 effective hits yesterday, with a box office of 880,000, and a total box office of 12.42 million.
Although the box office is declining day by day, according to this situation, it is very promising to break 15 million.
However, Li Qian doesn't care about the box office, this number is far beyond Li Qian's original expectations, how much can it be, enough to make a small-budget theatrical movie.
After resting for so long, I also went out to breathe yesterday, had a meal with Tong Liya, chatted, it was quite pleasant, and I changed my mood.
Then it's time to start the next phase of work, and it's going to be another busy month.
looked at the time, it was already half past eight, Li Qian also turned off the computer, picked up a document on the table, and went out.
When I came to the studio, Qi Yukun, Guo Fan, Zhang Zhonghua, Gao Yang, and Wang Lu were already waiting.
"Good morning, everyone. ”
"Director Li Zao. ”
"Alright, sit down, I'll arrange the rest of the work. ”
Li Qian didn't talk nonsense, and went straight to the point, "Now that the script and storyboard haven't come out yet, let's prepare the equipment, venue, and crew first." ”
Qi Yukun said curiously, "Director Li, show us the story first." ”
The story that was passed by Li Qian before was so creative and exciting, and everyone was a little curious about what Li Qian's next film would be like.
"I just wrote a 2,000-word story, and I didn't print it, so it would be a waste of time to read them one by one. ”
Li Qian opened the document, looked at the two pieces of paper sandwiched inside, and said, "Otherwise, I will tell you about it, and also tell me my idea." ”
"Director Li, talk about it quickly. Guo Fan was already impatient.
"What's the hurry, it's not a cave room, I'll drink saliva first. ”
Li Qian smiled, drank saliva to moisten his throat, and then spoke.
"This time it's a thriller theme, tentatively named Jaws. ”
Jaws?
A horror film with a strange beast theme?
Qi Yukun asked with some uncertainty, "Director Li, is it a bloody horror movie?"
For the Internet University, the market for bloody horror films is indeed larger than that of suspense films, and it can even be said to be one of the hottest themes.
However, since Li Qian can even make non-ghost suspense films, there should be no need to make bloody horror films that don't have much technical content.
"It's not a horror movie, it's a thriller. Li Qian corrected, "Although there are elements of horror and suspense, it is essentially a thriller." ”
"The story is very simple, there was a shark attack on humans in a seaside resort, and the security captain in charge of the resort proposed to close the beach, but it was the summer vacation, and the person in charge of the seaside resort did not want to suffer losses, so in order to avoid the situation from escalating, he decided to announce that the deceased had a boating accident and asked someone to quietly hunt the sharks.
The shark crew quickly caught a shark, but a marine biologist concluded that the shark that attacked the humans was a giant great white shark, and that the shark caught was not the murderer.
But the person in charge decided that it was the shark that killed the man, and the beach was opened the next day.
Soon after, another shark attack was made, and the last expert fisherman and responsible security captain, as well as a marine biologist, embarked on a shark hunt.
Finally, in the open sea, they attracted the great white shark with the flesh they had left behind, and the huge shark not only escaped from their trap, but also began to attack their fishing boat, and even the fisherman was unfortunately killed in the belly of the fish, and finally the security captain hit the oxygen cylinder in the shark's mouth with an air gun. ”
Li Qian simply finished telling the story, but everyone looked at each other.
Ordinary stories that can't be more ordinary, without any bright spots, they can't imagine how Li Qian chose such a story, which is not at the same level as "Sniper Phone Booth".
Li Qian also knew their doubts, and continued, "It's a very simple story, but the quality of a movie has no absolute relationship with the story. ”
"In my vision, the shark wouldn't appear for long, not even in the middle of the story, and not in the first attack.
A man is swimming on the surface of the sea, we give an underwater view of a shark, and then the camera turns to the surface of the sea, and suddenly the person is pulled by something, and he struggles violently in the sea, and is dragged around by the shark, and then sinks into the water, leaving only a scarlet surface on the sea.
The reason why it is a thriller is mainly to set off the atmosphere through the sharks that do not appear, such as a large number of tourists playing in the water, the feet of the crowd fluttering in the water are being watched from the perspective of sharks, and the audience knows that something will happen, but they don't know when.
The familiar dorsal fin appeared on the water, and the crowd fled in panic, and it turned out to be a prank of two children.
It's a bit like a wolf coming, first repeatedly making the audience feel that the shark is coming and eating people, but it's all a false alarm, when the audience puts their minds at ease, the shark suddenly appears again, and the impact on the filmmakers and the audience will be greater.
This repeatedly, through the shark's dorsal fin, underwater shadows, suddenly overturned surfboards, and friends fighting and pushing each other into the water, mobilizes the audience's emotions, making the characters and the audience in the movie mistakenly think that the shark did it, and they have a heart hanging from beginning to end.
Only the fewer appearances, the better the effect, if it does not appear, it will hit the audience's nerves as soon as it appears, exciting, exciting, terrifying, screaming and ......"
Li Qian probably talked about his own ideas, this "Jaws" should be a very old film, because the style, picture, and fake shark can no longer be fake, it should be at least a movie from 20 years ago.
But Li Qian checked the information and found no trace of this movie.
Therefore, he also used it unceremoniously, although the plot is simple, the structure and rhythm of this movie can be said to be perfect, vaguely allowing Li Qian to see the shadow of "Jurassic Park", and the rhythm between the two is similar.
However, if you change the background to China, there are still many things to change, such as the identity of the actor, it can't be a policeman, and there will be no mayor who wants to suppress this matter.
(Most readers may be surprised to choose "Jaws", but I still try to write some movies that rarely appear in Huayu literature, after all, many movies have been written badly over the years, try to write some good movies that have not been written badly, but they are not unpopular, otherwise it is too unpopular Everyone has not seen it, there is no sense of substitution, and there should be many readers who have watched "Sniper Phone Booth" and "Jaws".) )
(Finally ask for a recommendation vote!)
