Chapter 67 "I Am Legend" Filming

According to the progress of the plot, a very crucial scene in "I Am Legend" is being filmed at this time.

At the filming scene, Li Mu stood in front of the monitor, watching the scene that Will was performing.

The protagonist Robert walks alone in the ruins, full of contradictions and persistence in his heart.

This clip is a great test of Will Smith's acting skills, which are all kinds of subtle expressions and eyes derived from deep inside.

For this reason, Li Mu specifically discussed this section with Will Smith in detail.

"Will, you are Robert now. You are the last hope, but you are also the loneliest existence. In front of you, this ruin is not only a dilapidated building, but also your persistence in hope. You need to use your eyes and actions to , let the audience feel your inner struggle and determination." Li Muzheng was telling all the details of this character close-up, but his eyes were full of expectation.

Every director has ambitions for his own films, and Li Mu is no exception.

Will Smith took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and quietly felt the character's emotions.

After a moment, he opened his eyes and his eyes became firm.

Complex emotions appeared on his face, and he seemed to hear his inner voice in the silent environment.

"Action!" Li Mu shouted and started shooting.

The protagonist Robert slowly approached the ruins, his steps a little heavy, as if he was carrying the weight of the whole world.

He stopped in front of the ruins and looked up at the sky. The sunlight shone on his face through the broken walls, forming a mottled picture of light and shadow.

Robert's eyes revealed contradictions and persistence, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, as if he was facing an unknown challenge.

"Will, your eyes should be deeper, so that the audience can feel the helplessness and hope in your heart. At this moment, you are the last hope in this world, but also the loneliest existence."

Li Mu's voice sounded at the scene. He stood in front of the monitor and watched every subtle change in his expression.

Will Smith adjusted his mood, and his eyes became deeper, as if there were countless stories intertwined in them.

The corners of his mouth raised slightly, but the emotions in his eyes became more complex, as if he was concealing his inner struggle.

"Passed!" Li Mu shouted as the shooting was over.

Li Mu walked forward and patted Will happily on the shoulder.

"Will, that's great! What a pity." Li Mu said approvingly, with a look of pity on his face.

Of course Will Smith knew what Li Mu was regretting, but at this time he won the Oscar for Best Actor and was satisfied for the time being.

After this scene, filming continued.

While Li Mu was still filming, Liu Yifei had already finished filming for more than a month.

By this time she had returned to Nortel.

Zhou Liang chatted with her several times, but Liu Yifei still insisted on her choice.

At this time, Liu Yifei was reading a book, and the title of the book was "Film Production Management Practices".

"Qianxi, are you preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination?" Zhou Yang looked aside and suddenly thought of something.

Zhou Yang, who had finished filming Xi Shi, also returned to school.

"Yes." Liu Yifei replied happily, but her eyes were still looking at the book.

"Why do you suddenly want to take the postgraduate entrance examination, and you are not in the acting department?" Zhou Yang also asked his own question. Logically speaking, Liu Yifei should also continue to study acting after taking the postgraduate entrance examination.

Even if you are good at acting and directing, you are still applying for the directing department.

"No, I think it's interesting to watch the production. I want to learn." Liu Yifei replied with erratic eyes.

"By the way, isn't Li Mu's new movie currently being filmed? Why haven't you joined the cast yet?"

"He hasn't notified me yet, and I don't have many roles in the movie. I guess I will shoot it last." Liu Yifei has read the script and naturally knows her role. It is a movie about one person and one dog. She just wants to show her face.

But if strictly speaking, she is the one with the longest screen time among the female characters.

"That's what I say, but how many people are envious, I tell you." Zhou Yang suddenly came forward and whispered.

"Really or not?" Liu Yifei looked excited. It seemed that this gossip was not a big deal.

"That must be true."

Li Mu naturally didn't know what was happening at Nortel at this time, and he didn't know anything about Liu Yifei's postgraduate entrance examination.

At this time, he was preparing to shoot another big scene, the protagonist's chase scene in the abandoned streets of New York City and the battle against the Night Stalker.The abandoned streets of New York City are dilapidated, filled with smoke and dust, and the scene looks like the end of the world.

The protagonist Robert gripped the weapon tightly, sweat falling from his forehead.

Li Mu stood on the high platform, put his hand on his forehead, and took a deep breath.

This scene is one of the highlights of the movie. He must enhance the atmosphere to the extreme and bring the audience into this doomsday world.

"Attention, crew!" an assistant shouted loudly, and the whole scene fell silent instantly.

Li Mu walked to the camera and stared at Will Smith. In a one-man movie like this, all that matters is the actor's performance.

Will Smith also took a deep breath.

"Action!" Li Mu shouted, and the atmosphere instantly became tense.

Robert took firm steps and walked through the ruins, sometimes dodging and sometimes sprinting.

Behind him, the Night Demon roared crazily and roared towards him.

They looked ferocious and chased Robert wildly.

Li Mu stood in front of the monitor, staring at the screen intently.

He held the script tightly in his hand, and his mood fluctuated with the development of the plot.

The success or failure of this chase scene is related to the look and feel of the entire movie.

Robert jumped over a collapsed building, his heart beating rapidly.

He kept changing directions, escaping from the Night Demon's pursuit, while looking for opportunities to fight back.

"Will, your expression needs to be more focused. You are racing against time, because if you lose even one second, you may be bitten to death by the Night Demon." Li Mu's voice reached Will's ears.

Will Smith tightened his lips and looked more focused.

He suddenly quickened his pace, avoiding the attack of the infected, and saw a narrow passage.

He rushed over without hesitation and disappeared from Night Demon's sight in an instant.

The Night Stalker roared angrily.

"CUT, passed!" Li Mu breathed a sigh of relief, nodded with satisfaction, and shouted.

The filming of this scene is over.

There were applause and cheers at the scene.

Li Mu is very busy these days. On the one hand, he has to shoot "I Am Legend".

On the other hand, we also have to deal with domestic matters, which are usually sent by email.

Speaking of which, "Shark Story" starring (dubbing) Will was aired in China, and Li Mu also specifically talked to Will Smith about it.

The box office of 1600 million is not bad.

This shark named Oscar is actually kind of cute.

Hong Jingbao and Huang Xiaoming's "Long Wei and Son" has already become a dog, with a box office of more than 200 million, no matter how you look at it.

On the contrary, Gao Yuanyuan's short hair "Qinghong" made Li Mu feel a little interesting. After all, Gao Yuanyuan was really pure at this time.

The film subsequently won the Jury Prize at Cannes, but unfortunately was only nominated for the Palme d'Or.

It's quite OK for a film directed by Wang Xiaoshuai to win an award. After all, he is one of the "sixth generation directors" from Nortel's directing department.

It's a pity that he is not a commercial film director that Li Mu likes. Otherwise, if he were to be hired, Mengying would have another general.

Seeing Gao Yuanyuan reminded Li Mu of Jingtian.

He hasn't entered school yet, but he will soon, as the saying goes.

"If you have money, choose Fei. If you don't have money, choose Yuan. If you don't have money, choose Yuan. If you don't have money, choose Jingtian."

Li Mu actually thinks that the order of the latter two can be adjusted.

"If you have money, choose Philippines. If you don't have money, choose sweetness. If you don't have money, choose sweetness. If you don't have money, choose beauty."
