full-level director

"The scariest thing in life is that I don't have any sense of expectation. During that time, I lived very peacefully, and I became more aware of my inner thoughts. It was a bit settled. I like making movies, and this is what I can look forward to. " Lin Juan said seriously.

Huang Jing couldn't help applauding. The results of this conversation were beyond expectations. Originally, she didn't have much expectations for this interview task, but now she feels that this interview is likely to be popular.

"It's wonderful." Huang Jing said in admiration.

Lin Juan smiled modestly, and waved his hand to indicate that it was nothing.

Afterwards, the interview continued. Huang Jing asked about her grandfather's health, what is her psychological expectation for the box office, and what kind of new film will be, etc. The atmosphere gradually relaxed. I will definitely become a successful director, thank you again for coming to our "Movie Today" as a guest, and look forward to your new film."

"Thank you."

Chapter 21 Movie Review

"Tell me why I gave "Going Home" a five-star recommendation."

On the Douban film review website, on the "Going Home" page, one of the top film reviews said so.

"Actually, when I first heard that this movie was claimed to be the first mobile phone movie in history, I refused in my heart. You can't tell me to watch it, at least you have to have some special effects."

"Mobile movie, when I heard it, the first thought that popped up was that it was shoddy, the picture was touching, and it was a horror movie that I didn't like much, but then I didn't know where to read a movie review, saying that it was a touching and humorous movie. Horror film……"

"If anyone knows who said this, please contact me, and I will be rewarded heavily!"

"Let's not talk about digressions. In short, I couldn't hold back my curiosity and watched it. Then I will talk about why I gave it full marks after reading it."

"First, the picture quality is not as bad as imagined, and the camera switching, camera movement, and the use of light, shadow and color are all masters. If it is really done by director Lin Juan alone, I will offer my knees here and look forward to it His new movie, it's a genius director, and most importantly, it has special effects!!!”

"Second, the plot. The plot of this movie is very good. It reflects the phenomenon that many elderly people have no one to take care of them at home. The director's arrangement is a good intention. After the movie was released, many people went back to visit the elderly. That's all. It’s already ten points.”

"And this drama is full of unexpected reversals. It seems that it is always full of surprises. At the end, there is suspense. Is the protagonist mentally ill, or did he really see a ghost? I like this kind of surprise."

"Third, encouragement. This film can be made and released. You can imagine the difficulty. There is a need for this kind of director in China."

"Finally! Those who comment on me below pay attention! Whoever makes me unhappy, I will dump him as a good grandson and go home with grandma!"

……

On the ninth day of its release, "Going Home" broke through 600 million at the box office!

And Lin Juan...

"Yes, I want this effect in the underground forest. Fluorescent flowers and trees, even piranhas. There are vines on the rock formations and stone walls. This is the sub-shot I drew."

"There are also these types of underground creatures."

"In dark caves, I want floating rocky mountains and drooping underground rivers. The gravity is one-fifth of that on the surface. People can jump five meters high in one jump. The gravity is disordered in a few places."

"Yes, there are minerals, cleavage stones, fluorite, etc., which can form cold light sources."

……

"The part of the underground valley you want to do is mainly the part of the mantle layer. The light source of this part is reflected by the lava in the mantle layer, so it is relatively bright and yellow."

"This is Earthsea."

"Well, in the end, the protagonists are lying on the skull of an underground creature, and the jet fountain sends them up."

……

After returning from Shanghai, Lin Juan has been busy working in special effects companies. These companies were found by Chen Guang. Some of them are good at making animal models, some are good at making environments, and some are good at making weather, characters, lighting and shadows, etc.

There were 23 companies in total, and each was responsible for a different number of shots. Lin Juan handed over the storyboards for each shot, and didn't want one more shot.

These companies are also the first to see such special effects...

Generally, it’s not that directors hand over the text and original shots to them, and let them do it. Many of the special effects shots made are actually useless when the director edits them, so they are just wasted. What about Lin Juan...

The goal is clear to the extreme... Don't do it blindly, I only give you so much money, you just follow this and it's over.

The sub-shots are all drawn for you! There is no room for you to develop! I have never seen such a neat director! It will really save money!

Ding dong!

While chatting in a special effects company, Lin Juan suddenly received a WeChat message. He turned on his phone and saw that it was a group of [Journey to the Center of the Earth]. There were only four people in this group. Lin Juan and the three leading actors were in the group at this time The speaker was Zhang Shan.

Zhang Dasheng: "@林婷, Director Lin, I watched the interview, handsome!"

Lin Juan looked at the message and smiled, put down his phone without replying, and asked the project director next to him, "Is there a problem with what you just said?"

"No problem, there are only about [-] shots in total, three months is enough."

"Okay, thank you then." Lin Juan said with a smile. Although he is not good at talking to strangers, it doesn't take skill at all to buy services with money.

Ding Dong

Zhang Dasheng: "Director Lin, today's film conference, what time will you arrive? I'm almost there."

"Where have you been, and Xiaotong? @关小彤."

Guan Xiaotong: "It will take another hour or so in the car."

Lin Juan: "Okay, let's have a meal together when Xiaotong arrives, @威尔, wait for me downstairs, I'll pick you up."

Will: "Okay!"

Go straight to the dormitory to pick up Will. Today Lin Juan has a car sent by the company, and Zhang Shan and the others will go to the restaurant together.

"Director Lin, I heard that this script is completely different from the original script. Are all the structures broken up?" Zhang Shan asked during the meal.

"It's okay, the original script only has one part of the mantle layer, there is no dark forest and canyon, there is no character of Will, the emotional drama is a bit thin, your character is chasing Xiaotong, if you are interested, I can show you the original script. "

Lin Juan smiled and said, he told the truth and pointed out some weak points in the script. This script is actually different from the original script, except for the same theme, everything has been changed.

"Forget it, no need, I'd better study this carefully. Seriously, hey, Xiaotong, do you think this script is getting better and better the more you read it?" Zhang Shan said in shock.

"Well, the more I think about it, the more vivid it becomes." Guan Xiaotong nodded sharply, and then continued: "My boyfriend is also very happy to know that I am acting in this movie, and he even asked me to call him if there is a chance, so he can come and play a cameo."

"Hey, it's a big deal for him to play a guest role, at least tens of millions more in the box office." Zhang Shan said jokingly, who is Guan Xiaotong's boyfriend?

Fresh Meat, which ranks first in domestic traffic, firmly holds the No.

Little deer, deer words.

"Yes, if he has time, I will arrange a cameo for him." Lin Juan said with a smile, probably knowing that this should be Lu Yan's kindness, because he was afraid that he would blame him for not coming to the audition and even didn't reply?And anger at Guan Xiaotong?Or simply looking for a chance to see your girlfriend?

But it doesn't matter.

After chatting with everyone, they went to the conference site. The main creative staff and a group of reporters, Lin Juan released the concept map and roughly told what kind of story it was, and also told some legends about the Gopherman.
