This top guy only treats celebrities as his job

All for the movie.

This is easier said than done, because as soon as "Death on Earth" started filming, the huge crew has actually started to operate.

At this time, the crew members will also join the group one after another.

Not only that, during [script discussion], you also need to consider which line to shoot first and which line to shoot later.

In particular, it is necessary to coordinate the schedules of the actors. Not to mention other people, Wang Ruoan’s schedule is extremely tight.

First, Wang Ruoan already has several dramas waiting to start filming, and to film "Death on Earth" this time he really had to sacrifice the schedule of one drama.

Second, Wang Ruoan will hold a concert in 2028, because he is one of the singing kings of that year. He even debuted as a singer first. For this reason, he wants to sing a song first when he is 65 years old.

Anyway, Wang Ruoan sacrificed his salary, schedule, and time to shoot your film "Death on Earth", so should we shoot Wang Ruoan first when we start shooting? ?

This point was also discussed during the script discussion.

Not only was it discussed during the [script discussion], but even today, director Lin Xing, Sun Feng, assistant directors Han Lin, Wang Chao, Li Da and others, as well as people from the production, special effects and other departments, talked about this matter privately.

"Next, we'll shoot An Ge's scenes..."

Lin Xing said to Sun Feng, "Let's shoot the car accident scene first. It's a good opportunity to let Da Tiantian finish filming first. Then we can divide into three groups and shoot at the same time..."

This was something that had been planned long ago.

"I'll leave the crew to you."

Lin Xing smiled and said, "My part can be postponed for a while. During this period, let Chen Ning continue to train in the crew. Not only Chen Ning, but also the action crew..."

At this point, Lin Xing looked at the action director Guo Teng and said, "Brother Teng, I have to trouble you again..."

This time, the action director of "Death on Earth" is Guo Teng. After all, Lin Xing has worked with Guo Teng before, and Lin Xing told Guo Teng at the beginning that there would be a chance for him to be an action director in the future, and at the same time let him direct independently.

At that time, Guo Teng thought that Lin Xing was just saying it simply. After all, so much time had passed and Lin Xing hadn't looked for him.

Of course, Guo Teng still admired Lin Xing very much, otherwise he would not have praised Lin Xing so much when Li Jing asked him.

But even so, Guo Teng was still quite surprised when he received Lin Xing's call.

You have to know that for a movie with such a huge production line-up and quite a high investment, Guo Teng had the opportunity to be an action director, or even a group director. This was something he never dared to imagine before.

For this reason, when Lin Xing said that Guo Teng might have a harder time, Guo Teng just laughed.

Hard?

When have these action actors who started out as martial artists ever been afraid of hard work?
Many times when faced with various dangerous situations, all we have to do is close our eyes and make up our minds to jump.

At that time, many martial artists were living from hand to mouth, and precisely because of that, the money they earned was really hard-earned money, and some of them spent it quite lavishly.

Because of this, now that the golden age of action actors has passed, many martial artists nowadays are really living a miserable life, because they have no savings when they get old, and many of them are actually in poor health. In addition, they are at least in their 50s and 60s. Do you think any crew would be willing to use them? ?
As for the young dragon and tiger martial artists, they are even more miserable. They haven't even enjoyed the dividends, and then after they have finally learned the skills, they find that there is no market for them.

There are actually very few people like Guo Teng who have successfully transformed into action directors. Most martial artists have either changed their careers or become extras.

After all, special effects are so advanced nowadays that most of the time there is really no need for Master Longwuhu to fight hard, and even stand-ins are not needed too much in most cases.

For this reason, the profession of real martial artists has actually ceased to exist. Even the action actors from the Chen Clan, the Li Clan, and the Cheng Clan are more likely to design action scenes, and then change the dangerous actions into action synthesis.

This is the general trend and the market environment, so Guo Teng can only work as hard as he can in the next few years. At the very least, his dream is to start as an action director and shoot action movies himself in the future.

This dream sounds simple, but it is extremely difficult to achieve. You have to know that it took Guo Teng a long time to go from a martial arts master to an action director, and he also had the help of Li Jing, otherwise it would have been even more difficult for him.

But who would have thought that Lin Xing, with whom he had only worked together once, would give him such a great opportunity.

For this reason, Guo Teng really doesn’t take it seriously, and even thinks that if he really has the opportunity to be a director in the future, then no matter how hard it is, it doesn’t matter. ?
Of course, being able to be a director of a group is already quite amazing nowadays.

"Has the United Nations already applied?"

After Lin Xing finished talking to Guo Teng, he turned to ask Sun Feng.

You have to know that there are scenes shot at the United Nations in "Death on Earth", and this movie is about world unity, so there can be no problems with the script. Moreover, if you apply in advance, you can actually shoot at the United Nations.

reality.

Science fiction movies still need to be realistic. It can be said that for "Death on Earth", since there are scenes set in the United Nations, and most of the scenes in the United Nations were shot by Zhu Biaohai, then it is completely possible to shoot at the United Nations.

In short, Lin Xing’s plan for “Death on Earth” is to directly divide the filming into three groups.

Sun Feng is in one group, Guo Teng is in one group, and Han Lin is in one group.

Most of the time, Sun Feng's group is coordinated by Wang Chao, Li Da and others.

This is basically what we are talking about today.

[Script Discussion] is originally about discussing how to shoot the subsequent part, analyzing the script, discussing the lines, the direction of the character's personality, etc.

These are all things to consider.

In this way, "Death on Earth" was finally filmed for the first scene on October 10th.

This scene is Yang Tian’s final scene.

Her role in "Death on Earth" is only 30 seconds, but it is the highlight.

Because this is a car accident scene.

According to the script, Wang Ruoan and Yang Tian are a couple. They took their daughter to the amusement park, but they had a car accident on the road. Yang Tian died, and Wang Ruoan's daughter also died.

Of course, car accidents in movies and TV shows nowadays are not shot realistically like in the past, and the actors seem to be risking their lives.

Now it comes to post-production.

Just like this scene, first shoot the car being hit and flying.

This shooting technique is to set up the car directly on a rotating stand.

Then a truck from the opposite direction comes and hits the car. The speed doesn't need to be very fast, just make the car spin.

Finally, the car rolled down.

This kind of tumbling was done by dozens of actors using ropes and their hands to push the scene down, and it would just be something that could be added later.

During this period, there was no need for the actors to be in the car at all, we just needed to film the tragedy of the car accident.

Looking back, the actors were doing some post-production reshoots in the studio, and then performing various actions of being hit and thrown in the car.

The movie will present a very tragic scene, but there are actually some funny things happening on the scene.

The filming of this scene can be said to be quite smooth. This kind of car accident scene is too easy for Guo Teng.

At first, Wang Ruoan wanted to shoot the car crash scene for real. Although he is old, he has filmed too many car accident scenes, and all of them are real. But Lin Xing refused.

On the one hand, as I said before, today’s post-production technology is already quite good, and there is no need for real shooting. In fact, many times the effect of real shooting is not as good as that of post-production special effects.

On the other hand, Wang Ruoan’s age is there. Although 65 is the prime of life, in many cases, he is an old man after all, with old limbs, so he still needs to be careful.

Everything is for safety.

Lin Xing also said this to Sun Feng, because the real weight is in the air defense suit, which is extremely heavy to wear.

When Lin Xing tried it on, he himself felt it was a bit heavy, not to mention his father-in-law Liu Baofeng in the movie.

"Death on Earth, Scene 1, Shot 1, Aunt Aike."

"Card."

"Congratulations to Mr. Yang Tian for finishing the film."

……

This scene took a whole day to shoot. It may seem simple, but it requires coordination of shots, a sense of the direction of the collision, and so on.

All in all, Yang Tian successfully completed filming of this movie.

The filming started on the same day and was completed on the same day.

Although there are few scenes, the sense of ceremony is still there.

Just like that, after the filming was completed, Lin Xing and Yang Tian left Qin Island together, and the two of them first landed in the imperial capital.

This time, Lin Xing did not choose to go through the VIP channel of the airport. Not only Lin Xing did not go through it, but Yang Tian did not go through it either.

As a result, when the two people appeared at the airport, almost all the media reporters, photographers, and fans flocked over.

"Lin Xing, has the post-production of "Parallel Cohabitation" been completed?"

"Lin Xing, there's only half a month left until Double Eleven. Is it too late now?"

"Lin Xing, you are now filming "Death on Earth", do you still have time to promote it?"

……

All of a sudden, everyone surrounded Lin Xing and Yang Tian.

Lin Xing’s interview was okay, but Yang Tian’s was more sharp.

"Yang Tian, ​​do you think you still have a chance to prove yourself?"

"Yang Tian, ​​do you think your current movie "Parallel Cohabitation" can achieve good box office results?"

"Yang Tian, ​​what do you think of the news online that says you have no chance?"

……

The media really took advantage of the situation.

Now that Yang Tian has fallen slightly behind, the treatment of these media has all been reduced.

“Do I still have a chance??”

Yang Tian smiled and said, "You shouldn't ask me about this, you should ask Lin Xing."

Yang Tian was already used to this kind of ridicule. She had received much more ridicule when she was not yet famous.

Of course, Yang Tian is also able to take it and let it go. You have to know that two years ago, she was known as Boss Yang. At that time, wherever she went, she was the center of attention. ? ?

This is because the local media is too rude.

You have to know that the media in the imperial capital has always been famous for its bold questions. If it were the media in the Magic City or other places, I'm afraid these media wouldn't be so sharp.

But the media in the capital are the best of the best, and they are known for their sharpness in interviews.

For this reason, these media did not give Yang Tian any face at all during the interview.

You, Yang Tian, ​​have become box office poison.

So, do you, Yang Tian, ​​still think you have a chance???

Faced with these malicious blockades, Yang Tian slowly kicked the ball to Lin Xing.

“I think people are overthinking it.”

Lin Xing said with a smile: "At present, the post-production of Parallel Cohabitation is still in overtime. As for whether Yang Tian has a chance, I think everyone will know after watching the movie. Of course, it's not just whether Yang Tian has a chance, I don't know if I still have a chance?"

Lin Xing brought the topic back to himself.

"Lin Xing, do you mean that you don't think highly of "Parallel Cohabitation"? "

The media asked Lin Xing.

Lin Xing laughed and said, "Whether I am optimistic about Parallel Cohabitation or not is not important. What matters is whether the audience is optimistic about this movie or not."

It was obvious that the media did not intend to let Lin Xing off. One media outlet continued to ask, "Does that mean you don't have confidence in "Parallel Cohabitation"? You said before that you just wanted to make a comedy for fun? Does this mean that you don't have any extravagant expectations for the box office of this movie?"

"of course not."

Lin Xing shook his head and said, "Of course I am confident about 'Parallel Cohabitation'. I am always very serious about my work. If I was not confident or optimistic, I would not have accepted this role in the first place."

At this point, Lin Xing looked at the media who were still about to ask more questions and interrupted them directly, saying, "I know what you want to ask. What I want to say is that no actor doesn't care about the box office, but if an actor only shoots for the box office, then I think he will definitely miss a lot of good scripts, because for the market, some films just don't have box office, and you can't say that films with poor box office are rubbish..."

Why do movies often get rave reviews but not box office success?
Isn’t it because many films are niche films? Niche films don’t mean they are bad films, it just means that they are not liked by the public.

Similarly, if a movie has good box office, does it necessarily mean it is a classic?
not always.

Some box office hits may have been a success because of the right time, location and people, but if you look back at them a few years later, the movie will be completely unwatchable.

For this reason, people say that the box office performance of a movie is often a mystery.

To this end, Lin Xing looked at the numerous media and ended the interview with his last sentence.

"Thank you for your attention to Parallel Cohabitation. I hope you will go to the cinema to watch it."
