Go abroad to become a director and overturn Hollywood at the box office

Chapter 42: Preparation for the movie, Debuji speaks out again

Qin Feng turned to Zou Zhaolong and said, "Mr. Zou, I will leave them to you."

"Manpower will come to you later to sign the contract."

"My office is in B51 on the third floor. Come to me anytime if you have anything. I will send you the script later."

"Oh, by the way... there are also some supporting characters and action actors who will enter the show in a week, and they will all be under your control by then."

"Okay, no problem. Director, go and do your work."

Zou Zhaolong felt a sense of emotion in his heart. Although Qin Feng was very young, things were arranged very clearly.

Qin Feng said a few more words and went upstairs.

Zou Zhaolong looked at everyone.

"We need to proceed step by step. I discussed several issues with the director when we came here."

"There will be some slow motion in the movie. It needs to be cool and handsome."

"In the first class, we will practice basic skills, such as walking and adjusting our breathing."

"In the second class, we will practice some basic moves of Tai Chi."

"..."

in the afternoon.

Qin Feng is looking at the work schedule.

knock knock knock...

Someone knocked on the door.

Art director Tumu and visual effects director Gueretta walked in.

Both were holding laptops.

Tumu: "Director Qin, we have produced a few concept drawings in advance. Please take a look."

Qin Feng: "Okay, let's get started."

Tumu connected the big screen and displayed the concept drawings on it.

The first one is the mechanical pod, which is where the machine hatches humans and is also its power center.

This is an important place where human brain waves are used to create virtual reality and maintain human reproduction.

The picture is composed of dark-toned pipes and red culture vessels, forming a sharp contrast.

There are human beings lying in each red vessel.

The second picture is of a spaceship, the Nebuchadnezzar, piloted by the rebels.

It is also dark in color, with guns inserted all over the hull, and the whole body has a mechanical aesthetic.

Its power comes from electromagnetic waves, and there are many magnetic circles on it.

The third picture shows the interior of the spacecraft, which is fully functional and has intricate wiring.

There are a lot of displays, pipes connecting the computer to the seat, and interfaces on the back of the characters' heads, and the consoles are drawn in great detail and filled with buttons and joysticks.

The fourth picture is an electronic squid. It has a rather evil shape, with red detectors on its round head.

A dozen long tails twist each other to control its movements.

In the movie, these electronic squids are evil weapons that wipe out humanity.

The remaining pictures are all scene concept pictures that exaggerate the atmosphere. They also adhere to the cold, futuristic and gothic feeling.

Qin Feng looked carefully. Although these designs were not exactly the same as the original ones in his previous life, they were still very beautiful.

Some designs don't have to be exactly the same as the original.

"That's very good, Tum. I can't think of anything else that needs to be changed."

"The storyboards need to be drawn more intensively. The preview animation only needs to be done with special effects. Give me a look every 3 minutes."

"Please continue with the next work. In addition, we also need to produce a few concept posters for publicity."

"Ok, no problem."

Gueretta said: "Director Qin, we have contacted Industrial Light and Magic and the communication was very pleasant."

"Their leader, Bill, said he had contacted you before."

"Yes, do you have any difficulties now?" Qin Feng asked.

Gueretta frowned, "Yes! We don't have a good plan to realize the 'bullet time' mentioned in the script."

Qin Feng nodded, "Yes! 'Bullet time' is indeed a difficult point, and it is also the focus of the entire fighting scene. It will appear many times. I hope you can think of a solution."

"You can also wait for the preview animation from the art department."

"Good director."

"OK." Qin Feng smiled slightly, "If there is nothing else, just go ahead and get busy."

"Okay." Just sent Tum and Gageta away.

Manny, who was responsible for costume and styling design, walked in with a picture album in her hand.

"Director Qin, excuse me."

"Manny, what's the matter?"

She opened the album, which was full of photos of various outfits and some hairstyles and accessories.

"Director, look, we have almost designed the character's appearance and costumes."

So fast?
Qin Feng took a look and found that not only the male and female protagonists, but also other important characters had several versions of designs.

There are even many styles of sunglasses.

"Oh~~Mannie, you have prepared a lot."

"Yes."

Qin Feng looked at it for a while and picked out two styles from each category.

"OK, let's start with these few versions. After the costumes come out, we'll take makeup photos of the actors first."

"Good director."

There are many things that need to be determined in advance preparation.

Fortunately, Warner's team also has its own tacit understanding and cooperates with him to advance the work bit by bit.

……

Time passes day by day.

Before you know it, the release of "Jurassic Park" is coming to an end.

The release of "This Man Is From Earth" has also reached its second half.

These two movies have been very popular recently.

Media reports are also constant.

["Jurassic Park" is devastating!Global box office exceeded 11 billion yesterday! 】

["Jurassic Park" became the highest-grossing movie in the monster science fiction genre. 】

[Sparking dinosaur craze, "Jurassic Park" has taken the world by storm! 】

[Jurassic - Life is unrestrained and you can always find a new way out. 】

【…】

at the same time.

["The Man from Earth" unexpectedly became a dark horse, with a global box office of 2.5 million. 】

[Jurassic Asian director's new film has achieved double success at the box office and word-of-mouth. 】

[The Rotten Tomatoes score of the low-budget drama "The Man from Earth" rose to 85%. 】

【…】

Seeing how popular this movie turned out to be.

Professional film critic De Buji was furious.

He tweeted again:

[Resist science fiction films, abandon fantasy, and defend the dignity of traditional films. 】

[I didn’t expect that a movie about people sitting around chatting would actually achieve a certain amount of box office. I didn’t expect that many young people would go to the theater to watch it.

I can't help but feel a deep sense of concern here, for our young audience.

Facts have proved that the plot and setting of "This Man is from Earth" are extremely absurd. The male protagonist just talks freely and takes whatever he says.

The whole movie is extremely boring. If you haven't seen it, you don't need to go. You might as well spend money to see other dramas from the same period.

As a film critic, I have the responsibility to guide everyone to watch movies with correct ideas, because that is the real American culture. 】

Shortly after he sent it.

Someone immediately reprinted it.

But more are the doubts from netizens.

[I have read the movie and it is quite good. I don’t think there is anything wrong with it. 】

[I have donated two tickets. I support director Qin Feng and hope he will continue to make good-looking movies. 】

[The story is very exciting, of course it doesn’t have big scenes like Jurassic, but it doesn’t hinder viewing, please support it! 】

[I really don’t know why Deji is blind all day long. Is he really crazy? 】
