Chapter 466 Plan
North America.

"Guardians of the Galaxy", the last of three major slates in the 2014 summer season and the launch of Marvel's cosmic "Clues", was grandly released and won the championship with a gross of US$9400 million, breaking the August opening record in film history!
It has to be said that this opening result is quite satisfactory. Although it failed to reach the 4 million yuan level of "Transformation 2", it successfully surpassed "The Amazing Spider-Man 2" and "X-Men: Days of Future Past", both of which belong to the Marvel camp. ", and is basically the same as "Captain America ".

Judging from the current trend, the final accumulation is likely to be consistent with "Winter Soldier" and settle at US$2.6 million.

As a result, Marvel's second phase has been a complete success in 2014. From the beginning of the project to the present, 6 consecutive films have been produced without failure in 10 years!
This achievement is enough to be written into marketing textbooks! What's more important is that both of this year's films are inextricably linked to next year's "second phase finale" "Avengers 2". The huge sales of "Captain America" ​​and "Guardians" will undoubtedly It will add a lot of fuel to the fire of "Avengers 2"!
As the protagonist of "Guardians of the Galaxy", Chris Pratt is completely famous this time and is in the limelight.

"Li, I feel like my career has gone so smoothly since I started working with you."

Chris Pratt feels like he has been helped by a god in the past two years. He didn't feel it when filming "Guardians of the Galaxy", but since taking on "Jurassic World", good things have happened one after another.

"This is not my fault. You earned "Guardians of the Galaxy" on your own."

Li Mu shook his head and said with a smile, as long as "Jurassic World" is released and the results are good, Chris Pratt will be firmly established as the number one person in the new generation of Hollywood.

"Li, no matter what, I'll treat you to a big dinner when you come to Hollywood."

Chris Pratt was very happy.

"Guo Jingming's "Little Times" is also called a movie?"

The crew members were also discussing while moving things. It is true that these two people have made their way from the literary world to the film world. Recently, the movie has hit a schedule, and there is endless discussion.

After some misunderstandings, the hero and heroine finally reach the important moment of dancing together on the top of the mountain.

This color was specially designed and arranged by Li Mu with the aesthetic team.

Everything is arranged to capture the most romantic and beautiful moments in Li Mu’s eyes.

And a temporary set was also made.

Liu Yifei was wearing a yellow dress at this time, stunning everyone, and the staff present were amazed.

The street lamps that emit romantic blue and white light and the stone benches for young couples to flirt are the creations of the prop team.

"The films of the new generation of directors are very popular with the audience, like Han Han and Guo Jingming."

"."

Although there are many complaints, the box office performance is quite good.

Color itself is meaningless, but different cultural backgrounds make people associate colors.

Even without us fully realizing it, the colors around us can affect our moods.
"When it comes to the role of expression, color is even better. The afterglow of the setting sun and the emotion conveyed by the blue color are probably beyond the reach of any certain elements."

"can."

Li Mu responded with a smile.

In order to create a magical city under the camera and focus on the two leading actors and this romantic place, the crew searched for a long time to find this top of the mountain.

The famous psychological esthetician Rudolf Arnheim emphasized that color can well trigger the flow of emotions.

At this time, the filming of "La La Land" has reached the most romantic part of the film.

At this time, looking back at China, "The White-Haired Witch" firmly occupied the box office championship on the Chinese Valentine's Day with a single-day box office of over 100 million.

For a new director and a slightly literary film, it can be said to be quite outstanding.

As for Han Han's debut film "The Future", the box office also exceeded the 5.1 million mark, and the total box office reached 11 million in only 3 days. It has basically tied the box office of "Tiny Times 5.08", which was released a week earlier, and the latter's cumulative box office million.

The use of high-saturation clothing like blue, red and yellow will make Liu Yifei look very playful.

However, a yellow dress was chosen here because yellow reminds people of sunshine, and people wearing yellow clothes will give people a warm, friendly, and considerate look.

On the one hand, it shows that Liu Yifei was in a happy mood that day, and on the other hand, it also hints at the beautiful sparks that will arise between the two.

However, it was still daytime at this time, and the two were still rehearsing. First, the stand-in coordinated the lighting and photography, and then the two leading actors came on.

Seeing that it was almost time, Li Mu stopped rehearsing and started to look at the sky.

At this moment, it depends on whether God will do his best or not.

Here you need to capture the romantic moment of blue with pink, and pink with purple on the edge.

The fiery rose-red sunset began to slowly set, and the glow seemed to make Liu Yifei's bright yellow dress look even more beautiful.

When Li Mu saw this, he was extremely happy. You must know that such "magic moments" do not last long every day.

"Director Li, you are so lucky."

The photographers also saw it and hurriedly shouted, God is good. They thought it might take a few days to wait, but they didn't expect to meet it on the first day.

Liu Yifei's face was full of joy at this moment. She was overjoyed to film this romantic episode.

And encountered such a beautiful moment.

"Speed, prepare, start shooting!!!"

Li Mu gave the order and everyone quickly prepared to take their positions.

“It’s like God’s careful arrangement that we meet here.”

"."

The two of them didn't seem to be performing, and the young couple's flirting and flirting seemed so real that they couldn't be real.

After all, Li Mu and Liu Yifei are already used to this rhythm.

The staff also seemed to be silent, fearing that the sound would disturb this beautiful moment.

Only the camera is recording this beautiful scene.

If the moonlight is light yellow at this time, then Liu Yifei wearing a yellow skirt seems to be more beautiful than the moonlight.

Beautiful dance, beautiful scenery, beautiful people, this movie seems to be capturing all the beautiful things in the world. After the filming was completed, Li Mu and Liu Yifei quickly came to the monitor. Everyone stood behind them, wanting to see the results.

"Director Li, there should be no need to make up for this."

"I feel like it can't be more perfect than this."

"If this scene spreads, it will probably go viral. I feel like it can be used for publicity. It's so beautiful."

Everyone was talking behind them.

"Okay, no need to make up for it. Everyone has a day off tomorrow and will transfer the day after tomorrow."

Li Mu said calmly.

"Thank you, Director Li!!!"

"rest"

Everyone was overjoyed. The filming period was not easy, it was all tiring work.

At this time, Liu Yifei seemed to be still immersed in the screen of the monitor.
After filming this scene, the scenes in the Magic City have ended for the time being. We will just wait for Huang Bo to join the crew to make up for a few scenes, and the crew needs to switch scenes to shoot the group dance scene on the road.

After a day's rest, the crew quickly evacuated.

"The first phase of filming for "La La Land" has ended"

When the media learned that the crew had evacuated, they also reported on it.

The road group dance scene was very difficult to shoot, and Li Mu kept discussing the shooting issues with the crew after the transition.

"Let's take a look at the rehearsal effect of the extras first, and find a slightly larger open space to take a look."

Li Mu directed that with hundreds of cars, hundreds of actors and dancers, and the complicated "one shot to the end" camera movements, if you want to shoot the scene as efficiently as possible, you must rehearse in advance.

Otherwise, all the adjustments would be piled up on the highway, and it would take weeks of filming to complete.

Because the time given for shooting every day is limited.

This is why Li Mu did not try it directly on the road.

The crew directly found a large parking lot for rehearsal.

The choreographer corrected the dancers' movements according to Li Mu's requirements in order to achieve the best effect during filming.

"Director Li, I have a question."

Just when Li Mu was watching the rehearsal and felt that it was okay, the assistant came to report something to Li Mu.

"what is the problem?"

"Director Li, I have seen the location chosen. It is a slope, and there is a 4-foot-high isolation zone in the middle. This is completely different from the current assumption of rehearsing in a parking lot.

Especially the isolation zone, which may cause great inconvenience to the choreography and photography."

The assistant told Li Mu his concerns.

"Call everyone together for a meeting. The plan needs to be changed."

Li Mu rubbed his head. This scene was really troublesome. There were too many people and cars in a small place, and there were many restrictions.
After a while, the core members of the crew have gathered.

"Based on the current situation, it is unrealistic to use Steadicam with one shot on the road, but using one shot with Steadicam is the best solution."

Li Mu also asked the question, "Do you have any good suggestions?"

"One shot, the highway has four lanes."

"There are hundreds of cars, hundreds of people, it's still on a slope, and there are isolation zones. It's probably a bit difficult to shoot with people."

Everyone analyzed it.

"Director Li, how about the drone?"

After discussing for a while, someone suggested using a drone to shoot. If you can’t use people to shoot, try it without people.

The crew was naturally prepared for the drone.

Li Mu nodded immediately, "Take it out and test it."

Whether it works or not, we have to see the effect first.

The technician immediately took it out of the equipment box and started testing it in the parking lot.

On the contrary, after some testing, it was found that the positioning still did not meet the required accuracy.

The problem is back to square one.

"Director Li, let's use a trailer to carry the retractable crane arm for shooting. This positioning should be no problem and we should be able to shoot."

Someone among the photographers suggested.

Carrying a telescopic swingarm on a trailer is obviously a lot more troublesome on the road.

Everyone discussed this plan again, and finally felt that it should be feasible and could be given a try. However, the vehicle-mounted retractable rocker arm solution had to be tested on site.

Everyone was looking at Li Mu at this moment, waiting for the director's final decision.

"Okay, we'll start shooting the day after tomorrow. Let's all get in touch with each other in the next two days."

Li Mu thought for a while, and this plan should be the best at the moment.
