Chapter 805 Good news from Berlin, filming underway

Li Mu thought about it, then took out the original schedule, drew a picture, and then moved some of the later scenes to the front, and moved some simple literary scenes in the front to the Lantern Festival.

After all, a large group of people came to visit the set, and they were not professionals like Lu Yang, but leaders. The complicated scenes would definitely not be suitable for shooting on that day, and it would be easy for things to go wrong.

Besides, he couldn't keep doing NGs in front of so many people. After all, everyone was here and would definitely take a look at what was being filmed. If he kept doing NGs, let alone what others would think, Li Mu would feel a little guilty.

"Everyone come here, there are some changes." After Li Mu finished the detailed revisions, he waved his hand to call the leading actor, assistant director and others.

"Things have changed a bit. We won't be filming tomorrow. Some scenes may be moved up. This is the latest schedule. Please reprint it according to my request later."

Li Mu handed the schedule to the assistant director, who immediately handed it to the staff.

"The reason for the change is that during the Lantern Festival, leaders from the National Film Administration, the Civil Aviation Administration of China, and the provincial and municipal propaganda departments came to Oriental Movie Metropolis to visit and express their condolences to us."

"Okay, is there any problem?" Li Mu asked with a smile.

"To be honest, I'm a little nervous."

Yang Qiru whispered, after all, she was still a new actor and had never seen the upcoming scene before.

"Why should we be so nervous? Just shoot normally. Besides, Director Li is here, so we don't have to worry about this."

Yuan Quan smiled and comforted him. After all, she was a veteran in the industry and had experienced these situations to some extent. She knew what was going on.

"Just shoot as normal. We have arranged the scenes that were supposed to be shot tomorrow. It's relatively simple. I see that you guys have been shooting very well these past two days and there won't be any problems."

"I understand, Director Li!"

"Okay, that's it. Get familiar with the rest of the shooting and we'll start later!"

"."

After explaining all this, Li Mu immediately called the producer. After all, he didn't need to take care of some trivial matters and arrangements for the Lantern Festival. These were the producer's jobs.

These are the people that Mengying Media has cultivated over the years.

"Ah, the leader is coming over." Liu Yifei was also a little surprised when she heard Li Mu say this that night.

"Well, what happened?"

"No, I was planning to go over there with Xiao Baozi to spend the Lantern Festival with you."

"Yes, Dad. We are going to have a Lantern Festival." The little bun was holding a round object in his hand and biting it in front of the screen.

Li Mu was also a little curious, "Baby, what are you eating?"

"This is round and crispy, so delicious!" The little bun came forward and put it in front of the camera to show Li Mu.

"Huh? Exploded?" Li Mu could see it more clearly at this time.

"Yes, Mom knows that Xiaobaozi likes to eat it, so she prepared some fried glutinous rice balls."

"You can't eat too much, or you'll get a sore throat." Li Mu said subconsciously, and was immediately met with Liu Yifei's coquettish anger.

"I knew there would be this. This isn't Guangzhou. Getting a sore throat is a geographical issue. I never heard of getting a sore throat when I was a kid. But I have to eat less. This little foodie won't refuse anything sweet."

"It's normal for children to like sweets."

Li Mu couldn't help but laugh when he saw the little Baozi taking the fried glutinous rice balls in his two little hands and stuffing them into his mouth bit by bit.

"Then shall we go on the Lantern Festival?" Liu Yifei then returned to the original question.

"Come on, it's okay, it shouldn't be too late." Li Mu smiled and said, "Baby, how about Daddy setting off fireworks for you on the Lantern Festival?"

"Fireworks?" The little boy paused, as if thinking about what fireworks were. Then he clapped his greasy little hands and said happily, "Okay, Dad, I want to see fireworks."

"Okay, Dad will buy it back in a few days and wait for you to come and see it." Li Mu smiled.

The capital is now increasingly strict in controlling these flammable and explosive materials. We can still find a place to store them in Qingdao, and the Oriental Movie Metropolis is relatively remote.

"."

At this moment, good news came from the Berlin Film Festival. This film festival, which opened during the Spring Festival, did attract less attention.

Moreover, it has been five years since the last time a Chinese film won big at the Berlin Film Festival (Black Coal, Thin Ice won Best Film and Best Actor).

Unexpectedly, the Chinese films "Goodbye Nanping Evening Bell" and "The First Farewell" won the Teddy Bear Award Jury Award and the New Generation Children's Unit Jury Award respectively.

However, the even more explosive film was Wang Xiaoshuai's "So Long, My Son". This three-hour long film, which shows the social changes in China in the past three decades, won the Best Actor and Best Actress awards at the same time, setting a new record for Chinese-language films in the three major festivals.

This really caused a stir both inside and outside the industry.

There have been cases in recent years where the same film won the Best Actor award at the same Berlin Film Festival, including "A Separation" and "45th Anniversary", but such a record is extremely rare at the three major film festivals.

"What a pity! If we could win the Berlin Golden Bear, we would be a true god." "How can it be that easy!"

"."

There was also a lot of discussion within the crew, but Li Mu obviously noticed that the leading actors were extremely envious. After all, they were the three best actor and actress awards, and it was an affirmation of honor.

"I remember the last time I went to the Big Three was with Sister Yuan Quan. It was such a pity that I didn't win an award that time." Shu Chang recalled the time when "The Intangibles" went to Cannes.

"It's a pity indeed. I haven't been to the three major cinemas very often. I guess it's hard to become an actress in my lifetime."

Yuan Quan couldn't help but reveal a look of desire in his eyes.

"really!"

Zhang Hanyu nodded. He had been there too, but he didn’t win any prize, which was a pity.

"There are opportunities, and there is still a lot of time. Given the speed of development of domestic films and the position they occupy, the opportunities are much greater than before."

Li Mu smiled and comforted.

"Director Li, why don't you make a movie and invite us all to come," Zhang Hanyu suddenly suggested, and everyone instantly applauded.

"Good fellow, you guys are so smart." Li Mu felt that the boomerang had returned to him and quickly picked up the intercom. "Attention all units, prepare to film immediately."

"Hey, Director Li, no, we won't be making the movie anymore. We can't use public power to settle personal grudges."

"Hahaha"

The filming for Li Mu was going very smoothly, as he hadn't yet reached any particularly complicated scenes. On the other hand, while the Berlin Film Awards were becoming a hot topic on the Internet, the "Zhai Tianlin incident" that had been fermenting on the Internet for nearly a week was finally beginning to come to an end.

After a Peking University PhD student was not familiar with CNKI, and his academic papers were found to be suspected of plagiarism and his college entrance examination scores were suspected of being "falsely reported", the day after Beijing Film Academy announced that the matter had entered the formal investigation stage;

Zhai Tianlin posted an apology letter on his Weibo, saying that he was deeply regretful and blamed himself, and that "vanity and luck made me lose myself."

But the market obviously didn't buy it, and the TV series "Abyss Walker" starring Zhai Tianlin and waiting to be broadcast was directly withdrawn by the Capital TV.
At the same time, the first difficult segment of "The Captain" is about to be released, and Li Mu is discussing with the crew how to realistically restore this segment.

This was probably the most difficult scene for the entire crew, recreating in the simulator the scene where the cockpit windshield exploded and fell off, and strong winds poured into the cabin.

"At the time, the screenwriter team and the heroic crew had in-depth discussions about the scene at the time of the incident, but there was no accurate data showing how strong the wind was, and no one knew what the real reaction of the 119 passengers in the cabin was at the time."

The producer and Li Mu discussed this difficulty.

The script was written, but how to shoot it, how everyone should react, what kind of wind force the captain and co-pilot in the cockpit had to endure, and under what circumstances they saved the plane and hundreds of people on board.

Although Li Mu arranged this scene to be after the Lantern Festival, we have to start planning the content now.

"Using a blower and connecting several air ducts to the cockpit, can we create the power of an eight-force gale?" Li Mu asked.

"Director Li, with the props you provided, we can indeed create a force eight gale, but we also need to simulate an airplane flying at a speed of 800 kilometers per hour. The faces of the leading actors will be blown directly by the wind, which will probably make it difficult to perform."

"This is exactly the effect we want. Let's test it first." Li Mu thought about it and then gave the order.

"understand!"

"By the way, make sure you take adequate precautions against the cold." Li Mu looked at the actors who played the 119 passengers and couldn't help but remind them.

These actors need to sit in a simulated cabin for several days, and their states must be consistent every day. Even the degree to which the subsequent strong wind messes up everyone's hair needs to remain consistent for several months, which is really not easy.

Of course, the dressing room, makeup, and clothing departments have an even more difficult time. Li Mu estimates that these departments must look like they want to cry every day because after the strong wind, this will be a torture for them.

But there is no other way, because to be realistic it has to be restored. If everyone is clean, then there is no need to make this movie. Not to mention a tribute, it can just be thrown into the trash.

At this moment, the producer's voice was heard from the set.

"Quickly check the large hexagonal screws on the bracket to see if they are loose. Tighten the screws if necessary."

This is also a necessary check before each shoot, because the plane also encountered air currents and caused turbulence before the accident.

In the crew, this large simulator is shaken by a bracket similar to a rocking board.

During the filming, with so many people on the plane, we had to simulate turbulence one, two and three. Safety was the top priority. If something fell, damage to the plane would be a small matter, but the accident would be a big story.

This is also the point that needs to be checked every time during subsequent shooting.

"The engineering team has completed the inspection and there is no problem with the aircraft."

After waiting for the technical engineering team to complete the inspection, Li Mu quickly stood up, picked up the walkie-talkie, and gave instructions on the key points of the next shooting.

"The Captain, Scene 21, First Shot, Action!"
