my time as a director

However, there is something interesting about it. It was specially marked. In the beginning, the ten people were tied to the helicopter and airdropped to the island, but one of them had an accident and fell to his death.

There is one less opponent. It is estimated that the audience will be confused when it is filmed.

There is another one. Whenever others are in a weak position, the criminal group will use drones to drop some knives, guns, first aid kits, food and water to the protagonist's opponents.

Airdropping weapons, ammunition, and food to the "weak" is so interesting. Most movies add halos to the protagonist, that is, cheating in the game, but here, cheating is provided to the villain's supporting role, and the difficulty is set for the protagonist.

interesting!

"Director Li, does this story have a name?" Wu Jing asked involuntarily.

"How about calling it PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds for now." Li Qian laughed.

Chapter 175

Ten years ago, Wu Jing became popular, Yang Yuqian in Tai Chi Master, A Fei in Xiao Li Feidao, and Meng Xinghun in Riding the Horse Xiao Xifeng.

Although the three popular dramas did not reach the level of national dramas, they were all very popular at the time, and they became familiar in front of the people of the whole country.

The ratings were good that year, but it didn't work when it was replayed later.

After 2000, there was no market for martial arts dramas, and the mainland TV drama market exploded. All kinds of historical costumes, urban emotions, criminal investigations, idol dramas, anti-war dramas, and martial arts dramas, except for Jin Yong dramas, were not as popular as before.

Although there are many movies to develop in Xiangjiang, but the real number one male is only Black Fist, which did not do well at the box office.

As for The True Colors of a Man and Sha Po Lang, two movies with good box office and word of mouth, he is a supporting role.

Although it is very brilliant, especially the true nature of the man has overshadowed the limelight of the three protagonists.

But a supporting role is a supporting role. After so many years, the acting career has not improved much.

Fortunately, Langya, who directed and acted on his own, didn't lose money and basically saved his capital.

However, with this box office, there is still no big market for action movies. If you want to make a movie, it is estimated that it will be difficult to attract investment, and it will be two to three million.

Now there is a live opportunity in front of him, which is the type of action that he is good at, and the creativity is different from those of the previous action movies. Watching this story is not something that can be done at a small cost.

Almost without thinking too much, Wu Jing agreed.

"Since Director Li trusts me, I will accept this project!"

"Brother Jing is happy."

Li Qian smiled, "The film of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds is actually simple to shoot, mainly it is a fight scene between ten people, all of them have different identities, there are men and women, each has its own characteristics, and it will not be aesthetically fatigued."

Wu Jing said with a wry smile, "I'm still a little confident in the action scenes, but if there are more literary dramas, I really don't have much confidence."

The literary drama in Langya is very weak. Once the hero and heroine save the beauty, they like each other inexplicably.

Moreover, the policeman next to the heroine is also inexplicably unhappy with the protagonist, and targets him everywhere.

In fact, this is easy to understand, but the turning point is too blunt, like a person who is forced to put on a character, there is no process to speak of, and it changes suddenly.

Li Qian said, "There are also a lot of literary dramas in this movie. These ten people have their own identities, and everyone has their own stories. Even if it is an action movie, if you want more audiences to like it, literary dramas are also very important." important."

"However, ten people were killed in the fight. Even if one died during the airdrop, there are still nine. If everyone has a one-man show, the time will not be enough." Wu Jing hesitated.

"So, it is not necessary to add a piece of literary drama to each character, but interspersed with it, and it can also make the plot less monotonous."

"Director Li, can you explain in detail?"

"In this way, for example, the Muay Thai master can be set to accidentally beat someone to death in Thailand. In order to avoid his enemies, he smuggled to Xiangjiang to work. Because his family is poor, he has to send money to his family."

"When I came out, I said goodbye to my family, my wife and children, or my younger siblings on the pier where I was smuggled. It was a very sad scene, and I gave a shot of five or six seconds, and then I was knocked out as soon as I got on the boat. This is the beginning. At the beginning, use 2 minutes to briefly explain how these ten people were arrested."

"When I was caught on the island and was hiding from other people at night, at this time, I interspersed with the muay thai master accidentally killing or seriously injuring someone, being hunted down, and missing the days when my family was together. Hide yourself to avoid, enrich the characters at the same time, don't waste the shots, add up to 30 seconds of the scene."

"Of course, for this kind of role, it's best to let the penultimate surviving villain kill him, and before he dies, give a close-up of his eyes wide open and nostalgia for his family, and then use a parallel montage to show him dying. Thinking back to the situation of the family reunion a second ago, that is more than ten seconds."

"Another example is another man who misses his wife very much. He wears a photo of his wife next to him. He takes a look at it when he has something to do. It doesn't waste the camera, and it doesn't take a lot of time. The image of the character also rises."

"Through some details, when telling the story, explain the characters by the way, to prevent them from becoming a bunch of symbols with different names, and to stand up the characters."

After Li Qian talked so much, Wu Jing probably understood, "That is to say, the nine of them first set up an identity background, and according to each person's identity background, family relationship, etc., when appropriate in the plot , add some short shots that fit each of them to make the characters more fleshed out."

"That's right, but you must not disrupt the rhythm. Don't let the two of you bump into each other. It's just a time of excitement, and you suddenly start to recall and sensationalize. That's not okay."

Li Qian remembered a line from Wu Jing's Langya, so he said, "This is the same as the character Abu in Langya. When he was eating, he was told that he ate too much. Abu said that he felt at ease because he was full. .”

"If you are full, you will be at ease in your heart, and you can see the character of the protagonist. Now the audience will understand the character another layer, and it will not seem obtrusive. Let the audience understand it naturally."

"That's right."

Wu Jing nodded, but he thought in his heart that he didn't think so much when he was filming. He didn't expect a line to have a deeper purpose.

Li Qian then roughly dictated his thoughts, which was slightly adapted from an action movie Death Row in his memory.

The original version is pretty mediocre, and there are no bright spots in the play, but the creativity is still good.

It was originally a TV show that bought ten death row inmates from the prison and was forced to participate in a reality show of life and death games.

In China, even if the background is blurred, buying ten death row prisoners is too outrageous.

Kidnapping still makes sense, a group of lunatics have made a perverted, open gamble to the world, as for whether it will be broken and 404, this kind of controversial topic, there is no need to waste extra scenes in the movie to explain, most The audience doesn't care about that at all.

I can't insert a plot where they have a great hacker, it's too baffling.

......

The movie of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds is tentatively confirmed to be handed over to Wu Jing, and we have to wait for the script to come out.

Li Qian also had to start writing his own script, but just as he started writing, Zhang Zhao came again with a smile all over his face.

"Haha, long time no see Director Li."

"Mr. Zhang is here, please sit down."

Li Qian asked him to sit down.Before Zhang Zhao explained his purpose, he spoke first, "Mr. Zhang, I have something to tell you. Please go back and tell Mr. Wang."

"Director Li just say what's up."

Zhang Zhao took a sip of tea and spoke in a rather grand manner.

At this stage, Li Qian is the most important person in Guangxian's film business. No matter what Li Qian wants, Zhang Zhao can agree to it for Wang Changtian, which is not a problem.

"My next film...will not be cooperating with Guang Xian anymore."

"Well, no..."
