tearjerker director

Chapter 290 As expected of a dog director, he can do things every time he travels.

With the unanimous consent of everyone, "Moving Forward with Weight" is ready to be filmed here.

Alex is in charge of liaising with filming equipment and behind-the-scenes teams.

As a famous director in Australia, this is not a problem for Alex at all.

The cast list of "Moving Forward with Weights" was also finalized amid discussions among everyone.

Director: Li Yi

Assistant Directors: Mu Qing, Alex

Actor: Father played by Rogers.

The role of the youngest daughter: played by Rogers' youngest daughter, Annie!
The role of the wife who turned into a zombie: Linda played in her true colors.

The Man Who Shot: Chen Wen Youyou starred
Last Man Showed: Alex Cameo!
Last Woman Shown: Linda introduces her sister Erin.

"Walking With Weight" is not a difficult short film.

It can be said that the main essence of this short film lies in the creativity.

As for the whole short film, [-]% of the scenes are actually performed by the leading actor alone.

And Rogers himself is not only an actor, but also a zombie fan, so there is really no difficulty for him.

In terms of the crew, Alex is indeed very influential in Australia, and the team he brought over is very professional.

As for props and makeup, this is Melbourne.

The last thing to worry about is these, the zombie culture in Melbourne is very prevalent.

In addition, the participants of this short film are almost all zombie fans, and there is no pressure on return on investment and box office, so the shooting process is very pleasant and easy.

Of course, even though it is a short film, since it was shot, it is naturally intended for people to watch.

Therefore, publicity is also necessary.

Li Yi took a few still photos and posted them on his personal Weibo.

Not only the still photos, but also the photos of the interaction between Li Yi and Rogers at the Melbourne Zombie Festival that Mu Qing took before were also uploaded.

Although Li Yi didn't directly name the film he was shooting.

But the effect of the propaganda was extremely explosive.

On the one hand, it is because, to put it bluntly, zombie-themed movies are basically extinct in China.

There used to be a zombie movie popular on Hong Kong Island, but there are very few zombie movies.

Occasionally there will be some low-budget zombie movies on Baodao, but most of them can only be watched on the Internet, and the quality is not satisfactory.

And don't watch the famous zombie movies, but in fact, almost all of these movies are thriller and horror movies.

And most of them are B-grade movies, low-budget movies.

But who is Li Yi?
A real commercial director level.

He suddenly went to Australia to shoot a zombie movie. Anyway, for domestic movie fans and netizens, there are only two words: outrageous!

In particular, there was no rumor at all before.

And "The King of Comedy" has just been released not long ago!

Another point, can zombie movies pass the trial in China?

The answer is naturally no.

In domestic productions, zombie films and disaster films are shot accurately, and they cannot be filmed. We have to admit that there is no such soil.

This is well known.

Therefore, when Li Yi suddenly posted these still photos, domestic movie fans immediately exploded.

"I'm going, what's the situation?"

"Zombie movie? Isn't it?"

"As expected of a dog director, he can always come up with something new!"

"Didn't you see that it was filmed in a foreign country?"

"No, who can tell me what's going on? How long has "The King of Comedy" been released? And there's no warning at all."

"Director Dog, post a few photos without saying anything, you are a real dog!"

The sensitivity of the domestic media is very strong.

But this time, the domestic entertainment media were also caught blind.

what's the situation?
Li Yi went to Australia to shoot a zombie movie?
As a result, for a while, netizens were dumbfounded, and the media was also dumbfounded.

So, what is going on, is Li Yi really making a zombie film, what is the content of the zombie film, etc., etc.

Whether it is domestic netizens or the media, they are all blindsided.

Mainly it was too abrupt and too fast.

Of course, this matter was originally Li Yi's whim, and it turned out that Alex and Rogers were both ready-made, so the crew should not be formed too quickly.

And Li Yi is the director after all, where is he going on a trip or something, it is impossible for the Yuji media to stare at him, right?
However, Li Yi himself hadn't thought of "Forward with Weights" before this, let alone others, it was a completely unexpected incident.

Of course, after these photos of Li Yi were sent back to China, many domestic media immediately became active.

So why are successful people more likely to succeed?
The answer is here.

Li Yi just posted a few photos, and the effect of the publicity was better than the effect of some people spending millions or tens of millions.

In fact, it took only one week for "Moving Forward with Weight" from preparation to filming to editing.

When some domestic reporters went to Australia to find Li Yi and the crew of "Forward with Weight", the film was over.

Of course, they were not in vain.

Soon some relevant information was sent back to China.

The titles are extremely exaggerated.

"Li Yi intends to create the first zombie-themed short film in the history of Huaguo Films, "Forward with Weights"!"

"Li Yi created the most luxurious lineup short film in history, "Forward with Weights"!"

"Li Yi joins hands with the best director of the Cannes Film Festival as Alex White, and joins hands with the two best actors in China and Australia to create the most luxurious short film in history, "Forward with Weights"!"

"The best director in Cannes, the best actor in Huaguo, and the best actor in Australia are all zombie fans!"

""Walking With Weight" may be expected to compete for the best short film Oscar!"

The front is better, although the tone of the report is a bit exaggerated, but the latter is pure nonsense.

"Forward with a Load" has nothing to do with the Oscars, but it is true that both Chen Wen and Alex intend to recommend "Forward with a Load" to the Flash International Short Film Festival in Australia, the short film section of the three major European film festivals.But this is also something that can only be left out. As for the best short film at the Oscars, it is really a complete nonsense and attracts attention.

In fact, whether it is Li Yi, Chen Wen, Alex, or Rogers, the film "Forward with Weights" is just a short film after all, and they are purely because the source of inspiration for this short film is quite special.

It can be said that everything is fate, so their participation is entirely out of interest.

Didn't think about that much at all!
But when it spread to China, it changed completely.

"Damn it, is it so awesome?"

"Is this lineup enough to make blockbuster movies?"

"The dog director is really getting more and more doggy, the best director in Cannes will be the best director, and he will go up immediately!"

"This lineup is so simple, it blinds my kryptonite eyes!"

"Just because of the texture of those few stills, this short film is worth looking forward to!"

"As expected of a dog director, he can do things anywhere."

"The cast is so strong that it's blinding, this is definitely a series of lifetimes!"
