The king of all people

Chapter 411 Burning Money Again
(ask for subscription, ask for tickets, all kinds of requests~)

On the third day after Li Xian returned to the capital, the crew of "Death is Coming" officially started filming after a month's absence.

In previous years, BJ's spring days tended to be dry and cold. This year, it seemed to cater to the filming crew. The pattering rain has not stopped recently, and the vast land has become like an empty alley in the rain.

The scenes shot in the first act are the true reproduction of the concept promotional image that was exposed a few days ago.

It is not unheard of for a bus and a car to collide and cause an accident. In order to enhance the shocking effect of this set of shots, Li Xian deliberately added some horror to it.I chose to shoot the scene in the majestic heavy rain. The feeling of rain splashing sets off the sparks after the collision of the vehicle, and the panic of people when escaping is bound to make people more attentive.

But in the same way, the difficulty of completing such a scene has increased a lot.Not to mention the multiplied cost of filming, the personal safety of the actors alone is enough to cause headaches for all the staff.

After all, in addition to a few leading actors, dozens of extras are needed on the bus to play the role of passers-by.

In order to ensure safety to the greatest extent, Li Xian fortunately used the title of this movie "Money Burning Machine" to the extreme, freed up a large amount of money from the capital chain again, and invited a design actor from the United States to perform in detail. action guidance.

"Death is Coming" itself is a sci-fi supernatural movie, its style is not in line with some domestic martial arts instructors, and Li Xian chose to hire an outsider from European and American countries at a high price. The problem, secondly, is that he wants to use his ideas to present some special effects and action elements of European and American blockbusters in the movie.

Anyway, in this day and age, the fighting and high-risk scenes in some Hollywood blockbusters are really remarkable, and they are worth reforming and learning from many filmmakers.

Riel, an action director hired from the United States, once served as a design consultant in the blockbuster "Lord of the Rings". The price offered by Li Xian made his heart move. very interested.

After entering the crew, with the help of an interpreter, he couldn't wait to chat with Li Xian about some Chinese Kung Fu related issues, and then began to discuss the shooting of today's play.

Li Xian was originally reluctant to deal with the other party directly in English, but the translator's level is really not flattering, saving him time, in Riel's bewildered expression, he spoke one by one even better than him. Fluency in spoken English is also required.

Perhaps because he has participated in the production of too many war movies, Ruier's mind is full of those incomparably magnificent and powerful scenes, and they seem to be too Westernized to varying degrees.Regardless of whether the shooting level can keep up or not, if he wants to shoot completely according to his ideas, the cost that has been almost stabilized will skyrocket again.

After proposing these proposals that far exceeded his function as a motion designer, Riel couldn't help laughing at himself.It seems that he has also noticed that these superb shots are really difficult for such a crew to do.

He has already learned in the past two days that most of the staff members of the "Death is Coming" crew are members that Li Xian knows or has trained himself, and he hardly sees a few experienced filmmakers.

Li Xian's answer surprised Ruier very much. After thinking for a while, he actually agreed to his proposal. The design of the shot has indeed been preserved.

Li Xian's magnanimity really made Riel's heart tremble. You know, even in the United States, due to the economic downturn in the past two years, many filmmakers have reduced their investment costs. The effect is perfect, and he does not hesitate to show his own [-]% sincerity.

"Mr. Li, you are really incredible! Don't worry, I will do my best to make the action design wonderful..." Riel shrank his neck and looked exaggerated. Before the filming officially started, he was already more and more grateful for himself A decision was made to travel all the way to China to work.

"Okay, then there's Brother Laurel!" Li Xian didn't feel proud of the other party's praise. He really wanted to try his best to make "Death Comes" more perfect, but before the successful recording of the scene, all the Thoughts are just fantasies for the time being.

Even he himself didn't know what thresholds he would encounter that he couldn't cross in the process of framing the scene.

After handing over to Ruier, Li Xian lifted the cordon and found Pei Dongchun, the leader of the prop team who was already "pointing the country" in the filming circle, and a well-known domestic film prop person.Today's filming is the bus crash scene. After Pei Dongchun's recommendation, the crew successfully got a big bus with perfect functions in all aspects.

"How are the other props prepared?" Li Xian looked around, but didn't see any other conspicuous things.

Pei Dongchun was in a hurry at the moment, counting the memos in his hand in a hurry, and said after a little thought: "There were two cars that collided with the bus. We were lucky and bought two abandoned cars with damaged parts directly from the car factory. New car. Now the masters are checking the final fault, and it will take about half an hour."

"OK." Li Xian nodded comprehendingly, and motioned Pei Dongchun to take him to visit the other props needed to appear on stage and enter the camera later.

These things are the most important things in this set of shots. Relatively speaking, in this play, the roles of the actors are relatively weaker.Their role is more to show that sensational effect.

The studio circle was set in the middle of the road, on the outskirts of BJ City, and the staff contacted the traffic police in advance to temporarily block the route in this area, so no outsiders would come to interfere.

Rows of fences straddle the center of sight. After the bus collides with the car, the car will rush out of a certain distance recklessly. After breaking through these white fences, one or two of them will be thrown directly into the street with full firepower. In an office building on the right...

That office building is not a model prop, but a real high-rise building with dozens of floors. Each floor is made of expensive tempered glass. After a vehicle smashes into the first floor, it will definitely damage that floor beyond recognition. The cost of building damage has reached more than 100 million yuan.

Although this is a suburb of the city, it is located in the capital after all, and it is a newly built high-end office building... The reason why Li Xian wanted to shoot such a scene was because of the stimulating sensory impact.

Although scenes like buildings crashing into buildings are not uncommon, there are really not many precedents for actually sitting in a real scene instead of a movie synthesized with special effects.If the scene is successfully shot this time, it will be polished and processed by the special effects technology of the dynamic era in the future, and the audience will most likely see a passionate scene on the big screen.

The collision of speeding cars bursting with flames, the city buildings with shattered glass, and the screams of people filling the scene... These pictures, just imagined in their minds, give people a feeling of dry mouth and tongue.

It's no wonder that this time, Li Xian almost took out most of his assets and poured it into this movie.

In addition to the scene of burning the door some time ago, two consecutive scenes of burning money almost every minute, it also gave the staff who served the "Death is Coming" movie more and more enthusiasm for their work .Even they themselves will be shocked when they say it. If this method of throwing money continues, the movie will be released on the day when it is finalized and released in theaters, and the total expenses including the promotional expenses will most likely exceed the range of tens of millions. ...

Such an astronomical figure, placed in the entire Chinese film market, is simply not even conceited to think about it.

Li Xian followed Pei Dongchun to inspect the set for half an hour, and checked the number of people who arrived on the job with a breakthrough, to see if there were any lazy guys who wanted to fish all over.

After the fault inspection of the two cars was completed, the rain in the sky also eased slightly, and the streets were covered with roc umbrellas to keep out the wind and rain.The framing work that has been prepared for a long time began immediately.

Most of the characters involved in today's scene are extras. Among the leading actors, only Li Xian himself, the lead actor, and Deng Chao, who plays the prosecutor in the movie, appeared on the stage.

What makes Deng Chao dumbfounded is that he thought of leading Li Xian to the place where the plane crashed to investigate the case. He did not expect to encounter a crazy bus on the way, and he and Li Xian tossed together with the police car The empty car then slammed into the office building next to it.

Because he was the driver, as a prosecutor, he was severely and fatally injured. His whole body was tragically crushed under the countless glass shards and the heavy car body of the building, and he was only one step away from dying...

"Brother now, I'm too miserable...? How about you change the script and let me be happy for a few more days?" Even though I have made mental preparations in advance, I can really see the grand battle on the set , Deng Chao still couldn't stop his expression of about to cry.

Although he was not killed by the god of death in this serious injury incident, he became a pitiful vegetable who couldn't speak.This is more than that, he who lies in bed all day and cannot move, has been haunted by death since then in the film...

If you want to be targeted by "evil ghosts" without dying, it's better to get to know it once and for all.

PS: In a few days, we will open a dragon building, and everyone can write the characters and plots they want in the building~
