China Entertainment Mythology 2004

Chapter 74
"Nolan has always been known as a talented director. "Batman Begins" has a global box office of 3.73 million US dollars, and its reputation is excellent. It can be regarded as a good start for the restart of the Batman series." Li Xuehua said on the phone Said.

Li Lianhua sneered and said: "I don't know if Nolan is a genius director. "The Mystery of Heroes" has a box office of 3.73 million dollars. "Shadow Mystery" is a big IP, supported by a huge fan base of comics, "Assassin" is an original content, and it is an unpopular movie with a Chinese protagonist in the international film market. No matter how you look at it, Li Mu's "Assassin" is even better , if Nolan is a genius director, then Li Mu is even more so."

"Big IP?"

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

"Li Mu is indeed very powerful. Among the people we know, there are people who have achieved this at this age. I really can't find a second one."

"Yeah, you weren't there at the time, and you didn't see Li Mu deduce the plot of the second Batman on the spot. When the storyboard was drawn on the spot, the bloody expressions of the Nolan brothers made the genius director Nolan's forehead sweat It's gone." Li Lianhua suddenly became excited as she spoke.

Li Xuehua still felt a little unbelievable, 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 and told me, you know, when people describe something, they basically Nobody can do it without exaggeration."

"Exaggeration? Director Nolan called a few days later to invite Li Mu to participate in the screenwriting work of the second Batman. If he hadn't been overwhelmed by Li Mu's deduction, how could he make this call? But Li Mu also I took the opportunity to invite Nolan to make suggestions for "Inception", maybe this incident will become a good story of sympathy in the future."

Li Xuehua still couldn't believe it, but also had to believe it. My sister would not lie to her, but the process she described...

"Okay, okay, I believe you, Li Mu is really, really powerful." Li Xuehua suddenly changed the subject with a smile, "Young lady, you are so good. Since he is so good, why don't you rush after him?"

The two sisters, Li Xuehua and Li Lianhua, have a very good relationship. The two of them would often make such small jokes in private. In the past, Li Lianhua would usually smile back immediately, but this time she was silent for a while.

"What kind of gentlemen and ladies are good, I am so much older than him, at most I can be regarded as a mature woman."

"Isn't it just 11 years older? What's the big deal? Men are allowed to find someone who is three or 40 years younger than me, but women are not allowed to find someone who is ten years younger than me?"

"My dear sister, if a man can find a woman who is three or 40 years younger than him, it means that a woman needs a man's resources. Does Li Mu need a woman's resources? He is already so successful at such a young age."

The two sisters chatted for a few more words and then hung up the phone. Li Lianhua lay on the bed in the hotel arranged by the crew and looked at the ceiling above her head with her hands on her pillow. She remembered a certain TV show she and Ren Quan participated in in 01. .

"Ren Quan, do you like me?"

"It's mainly too familiar, and the sense of mystery is gone."

"It's really not that interesting. The two of us just filmed "One Foot Determines the Country". In it, the two of us fell in love. The director said that the two of you walking on the small road are very romantic. Because you are going to break up soon, the director said Very romantic, just very sweet, just like a lover. Then he took my hand and said to me as he walked: 'Hey, Li Lianhua, I really don't feel like acting with you.'”

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

……

On the second day, the scene of Lucy being imprisoned was filmed in the studio.

The guard molested Lucy and was rejected, so he kicked Lucy's abdomen violently in anger, causing the packaging bag hidden in Lucy's abdomen to rupture, and the medicine then seeped into Lucy's body.

In this scene, Lucy has to roll on the roof in violation of the laws of physics when struggling. The shooting method is also very simple, that is, to arrange two identical rooms, one room is positive, and the other room is reversed, so that actors can roll on the ground to shoot. Gives the effect of rolling on top of the canopy.

"We need live radio for this scene, and we also need to avoid damage to the scene, so all personnel entering the scene must take off their shoes, and repeat, all on-site personnel take off their shoes." The scene manager kept reminding with a loudspeaker.

After a while, the stage manager ran to Li Mu: "Director, everything is ready."

Li Mu nodded:

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

Following Li Mu's order, Li Lianhua, who was lying on the ground, began to groan in pain and twitch violently all over her body.

Here the crew used a rotating shooting platform that is relatively common in Hollywood, and the precise shooting control is completed by electronic cannons, which can perfectly present the upside-down effect.

"Crack!"

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

Li Mu shook his head lightly:

"It still doesn't feel right. What I want to highlight here is the effect of breaking the rules. People can struggle on the roof, violate the laws of physics, and ignore all the laws of reality. Only in this way can it be shown that people's brain development ratio has increased sharply. It will trigger a series of incredible changes. Sister Lianhua's performance just now is very good, and the feeling of pain is also very well expressed, but this is the pain of ordinary people, not the pain of people whose brains have begun to develop rapidly."

"How about I try to be more exaggerated later?"

Li Mu nodded.

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

"Crack!"

Li Mu quickly shouted Ka 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 a struggle that violated the laws of reality, it wasn't a matter of acting skills.

"How about using post-production special effects to create an effect that violates the laws of reality?"

"The effect of rotating the platform to shoot Lucy struggling on the roof is already violating the laws of physics. It doesn't matter much to look like a normal person when struggling."

"Why don't you ask Sister Lianhua to try a few more times? If you shoot more, you will always find the effect you want."

Seeing that the filming had reached an impasse, the assistant directors around them stepped forward to make suggestions.

Li Lianhua also said at this time: "Director, I think what the director just said makes sense. If you shoot more times, you can always find the effect you want. Otherwise, let's take more shots."

Li Mu turned his head and saw the Wia equipment beside him, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration:
"How about tying all the joints and important parts of Li Lianhua's body to the wire equipment? After the shooting starts, four or five staff members will pull different ropes, so that each part of Lianhua's body can move independently. It is impossible for human beings to make such a struggling movement, so wouldn't we have the effect of breaking all the laws we want?"

Li Lianhua's eyes sparkled: "I think this method is fine!"

After hearing the news, the field affairs staff went to make arrangements immediately.

All departments immediately acted quickly, and the shooting continued after 10 minutes.

When the record was played, Li Mu called the countdown:
"Three two one, start!"

"Ah...uh...ah..."

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

Each of the five people pulled one with each hand, and a total of ten ropes were tied to various parts of Li Lianhua's body. As the ten ropes were pulled irregularly, Li Lianhua's body trembled in all kinds of inconceivable ways.

"Ah...ah..."

Li Lianhua wailed in pain while struggling, but the five staff pulling the rope were all smiling, as if they were playing a particularly interesting game.

"Crack!"

Following Li Mu's order, the five staff stopped what they were doing.

"Okay, that's it."

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

"very good."

"Very wonderful."

"It's a bit scary. Every part of your body is shaking. I thought you were going to become a zombie."

Li Mu smiled and said, "How do you feel?"

Li Lianhua: "It's okay, it's just that there are some weird thoughts in my head."

"Strange idea?"

"Well, it's as if I'm going to be torn to pieces by you, I'm a little scared."

"Hahaha……"

Several people laughed out loud.

……

On November 11, the crew completed all the shooting tasks in the United States, and Li Mu led the team to Xiangjiang to continue filming.
