This director needs to apologize

Chapter 321 This is a typical case

The purpose of Chen Yiming's visit to Bangkok was very simple. He wanted to weigh the quality of the crew led by Wang Wei and get an on-the-spot understanding of the crew's operations.

However, the above two points are just incidental. What is more important is to actually grasp the details of the location so that we can more effectively monitor the subsequent special effects production.

So he clicked his thumb on the set and ran away. After boarding the ship and watching the rehearsal, he mainly focused on "touring" the cargo ship.

As for shopping the next day, I only started shopping after visiting all the locations.

Chen Yiming has also supervised more than one movie, and he has some experience of his own in this position.

The movie "The Usual Suspects" is similar in nature to Xiangrui's "Love Letter". Chen Yiming came up with the framework and the director took over the creation.

From the beginning, Chen Yiming did not plan to intervene too much in the filming process.

Wang Wei is more conservative than Xiangrui in terms of his freedom of expression. If he continues to interfere with things, then Director Wang will be completely reduced to an executive director. This is not the original intention of the Bojue genre film project.

On the contrary, it is the parts other than shooting, such as special effects, editing, soundtrack and other post-production work. The three new directors have rarely been involved in the past, so he, as the producer, should focus on it.

The long gun torpedo tube is different. The destructiveness is completely different. Not only does the props assembly time increase greatly, but it is also extremely troublesome to shoot. If you are not careful, you will be in trouble.

Chen Yiming didn't say anything after watching it. The story line was still the same, but the confrontation escalated in the second half, which barely made sense.

In this regard, Xinza's producer Li Yangyang is still relatively reliable. They are still rehearsing here, and the special effects artist from the Big Stone Workshop has already set off from the Magic City, so there is no need for Chen Yiming to remind him.

However, in order to make the scene beautiful, Chen Yiming continued the processing method of the original film, and Wang Wei and others also agreed very much.

The disadvantage is that after the intensity is upgraded, the workload suddenly increases a lot.

It was only later that Chen Yiming had dinner with Da Zhuang and Lao Qi that he learned about Qi Xiaomei's "VIP" treatment, and Lao Qi even thanked him.

The cargo ship explosion scene is the only "hot" sequence in the entire movie, occupying nearly 80% of the special effects shots in the entire film, which shows its importance.

As for Southeast Asian gangs, it makes sense that the firepower of the lair is more fierce, and the way several members of the protagonist group are offline is also a lot more tragic. Compared with the previous version, it is not so plot-killing.

In the end, he simply killed his fellow Taoist rather than his poor Taoist, split up a B team and gave it to Tian Li to take charge of. After all the hard work, Xu Yajun ran in both directions, focusing on Teacher Qi's camera first.

As long as you are a director, who doesn't want to personally manage a big scene.

The original film is an old one, and it's very superficial and sloppy.

As soon as Wang Wei saw off Producer Chen, he welcomed Miss Qi, who had an unpredictable background, and he felt relieved again.

Judging from the first day of rehearsal, Wang Wei upgraded the cargo ship firefight scene, not only replacing short guns with long guns, but also using grenades and rocket launchers, making it look like a fierce indoor CQB battle.

But now that they had actually met, Wang Wei didn't have any extra thoughts, he just felt it was troublesome.

Chen Yiming was also glad that he was not lazy. If he had not come to take a look, there would probably have been a jam in post-production, which would have delayed at least half a month.

Chen Yiming returned to the Magic City after playing in the sand for two days, just in time to miss Qi Tian, ​​who had arrived a week in advance.

The BIU of the small falling gun comes and goes, but it actually has no big impact on the surrounding environment. Simple sound and light special effects will be used in the later stage to prevent any drama.

The latter almost died laughing.

Finish the shoot early and send it off early!

In fact, the ship bombing itself has little to do with the main plot. If you want to destroy the corpses and eliminate traces, it is obviously more logical to sink the ship. The commotion caused by it is still small, which is more in line with Bao Dawen's character setting.

They had known for a long time that this was a wealthy family who brought money to join the group. Wang Wei and the three of them had a lot of fun in private, talking about the peak of their lives by marrying into a wealthy family.

After shooting three sets of shots in two days, the girl was not allowed to go to the main studio on the cargo ship. After the shooting, she was bought a first-class cabin and sent away. It was said that it did not take up Miss Qi's precious schedule.

How can we receive VIPs here? We are obviously sending them to the God of Plague.

After returning to the Magic City, Chen Yiming received belated good news.

The big melee between the management and management of "The Thirteenth Floor" has finally settled, and the project can finally be approved.

The final investment ratio can be regarded as "evenly distributed". Because Chen Yiming wanted to shoot "Chongqing Parkour", Platinum Jue added a large amount of special effects budget, which is equivalent to giving up an additional half of the investment amount, which in disguise played a role in "appeasing" investors. effect.

Mr. Ma and Mr. Han pushed to the limit and settled the deal at 2.5:1.5. The proportions of the funding parties have now been fixed, with Platinum Jue as the main control accounting for %, Moying %, Emperor Shadow %, Bullish Pictures and Xinghuang Pictures totaling %, and the remaining % is owned by Four theater chains and two ticketing platforms divide the money.

The total investment is 8000 million, and Chen Yiming has tried his best to overestimate it. Anyway, if you can’t spend all the money, you can still use it for publicity.

And don't forget, "The Thirteenth Floor" is a project that competes with "Holiday in the City" and is going the way of a city scenery film.

Da Zhuang has been sent by Chen Yiming to the Chongqing Front Station, mainly to win the support of the local department.

Chen Yiming has a good reputation in this regard. Leaving aside the internationally renowned "Holiday", the promotional effect of "Mulan" on Xiangcheng, which was released not long ago, is obvious to all. The number of tourists has tripled year-on-year. It is no exaggeration.

Yucheng is not the Internet celebrity city that it will be later, it is just a small and transparent place behind the second tier. Chen Yiming believes that the minds there will not be low in interest in "The Thirteenth Floor".

However, Chen Yiming cannot concentrate on "The Thirteenth Floor" for the time being, because Xiangrui has left the country, An Xixi has also returned from shopping abroad, and the formation of "500 Days of Summer Solstice" is about to begin.

The three of them, plus Liu Dongjun, who had temporarily skipped school, met again at the old place, Twilight Teahouse.

As soon as Chen Yiming presented the souvenir, before An Xixi could enjoy her smile, she was scolded by Xiangrui, who had forgotten her mother even after she had a wife.

Liu Dongjun, on the other hand, looked restless and careless, and it seemed that he didn't mind not receiving the gift at all.

Chen Yiming ignored them at all, took the script Xiangrui put on the table, buried his head and read it intently.

Xiangrui stopped making trouble as soon as he saw it. Although he was quite confident in the results of his retreat, he still couldn't help but feel a little uneasy when facing the "original author".

It didn't take Chen Yiming half an hour to read it roughly and intensively. After all, Xiangrui's changes were not many.

He ignored the auspicious and earnest eyes across from him, and first looked at the male and female protagonists sitting on both sides, "You have all seen it, let's talk first."

Liu Dongjun answered honestly, "Compared to the story you told at the beginning, the male protagonist in Sister Xiang's book is easier to understand, but there are a few things I'm still not sure about."

An Xixi said a little arrogantly, "I saw it, I can act."

But she can act. The heroine's positioning is only a little better than that of a vase.

In Chen Yiming's original story, the heroine still has an explosive scene. She has continuous emotional changes in a short period of time. In order to fit the situation without being abrupt, there are still some requirements for acting skills.

Xiangrui's book is not bad, the explosion is retained, but changed to the male protagonist. The female protagonist always looks like a white lotus left in the world.

Chen Yiming frowned and asked Xiangrui, "Director Fu, didn't you promise before that you would change this story to the heroine's perspective?
Now with this change, not only the perspective of the male protagonist has not changed, but the growth line of the female protagonist has also been cut in half. Are you planning to betray your gender? "

Xiangrui let out a "poof" and said, "Who betrayed gender? In the eyes of women, this is how the relationship between men and women should develop. You are a man and you don't understand!"

Chen Yiming couldn't help but back away after hearing this. It seems that these words are not limited to making movies. You must listen carefully.

Xiangrui stood up, gestured with his hands and said, "When you told the story, you specifically emphasized that it was not a love story. After careful consideration, I strongly agree with this point.

The relationship between the male and female protagonists is not a love relationship from beginning to end, and there is a serious misunderstanding between the two people in this relationship.

This involves the fundamental difference between men and women when it comes to falling in love.

When men fall in love, they have an epiphany experience. The moment they confirm their good feelings, they often regard the other person as a special individual, and then wishfully believe that the way the other person looks at them is also special.

Women are more gradual, especially when they are passively facing pursuit. Agreeing to be boyfriend and girlfriend does not mean that they like each other. It may also mean that they don't hate each other, so they are waiting to see.

Since your story allows the male and female protagonists to fall in love, I think Xixi's calm mood throughout the whole process is normal. Her efforts can only go so far. She is a colleague and playmate who watches movies and eats. Is it worth having an overly violent reaction?
The man is in his early twenties and may not have been weaned psychologically, while the woman is in her early twenties and may already be the mother of two children. This is rarely mentioned in youth love movies. Now I feel like making a movie specifically It is necessary to discuss it. "

The two men in the room looked at each other, Liu Dongjun especially looked weird. Of course he had read the script more than once, but he never imagined that he would be playing the role of such a male protagonist. The co-writer spent the entire film being coaxed by the female protagonist. chant?
Chen Yiming couldn't help but think that the original film was directed by a male and the original book was written by a male. These two implicit premises made him subconsciously ignore that this was how women interpreted this love education story.

After thinking for a moment, Chen Yiming asked, "So your script adds a few extra scenes to the male protagonist's female best friend, is it to arrange for a character in the drama to remind the male audience?"

Xiangrui clapped his hands and said, "Yes, Yimingyou is very clever. Xixi is very lucky."

Chen Yiming refused to continue this topic. He did not argue with Xiangrui about the different views of love between the sexes. Instead, he said bluntly, "But we are making a movie, not writing a thesis. If you change the heroine like this, it is too tame and will be questioned by the audience." Lack of sincerity in this relationship.”

Xiangrui laughed out loud, pointed at Chen Yiming and said to An Xixi, "I just said that men in their early twenties have not yet been weaned. This is a typical case."
