my time as a director

"Americans can't save Huaguo movies."

On a new day, watching this co-produced film drop by more than 50, Li Qian shook his head.

It's a pity that the movie wasn't released a month earlier, otherwise Li Qian wanted to say this to Han Sanping face to face that day.

There is also the Thirteen Beauties of Jinling, I don’t know which director made it, I thought that if Christian Bale was invited, the audience would buy it.

Could it be Han Sanping too?

Forget it, don't think about it so much, you will know when the time comes.

"Let's go, go to the Oriental Pearl Tower to have a look. The filming will start in two days, and the layout will start tomorrow. Huaguo Film has to rely on itself."

After saying hello, Li Qian rushed to the Oriental Pearl TV Tower with executive director Wen Muye, photography director Zhang Zhonghua, and the special effects director sent by the special effects company.

The filming will start the day after tomorrow, and we will first shoot the location, and then go to the studio.

Most of the scenes that require special effects are exterior scenes, lonely and deserted metropolises, and that effect is very important.

Several aerial photography teams began to run around in every corner of the city, looking for suitable locations for filming. First, they took pictures and gave them to the special effects company to do it slowly.

When I came to the Oriental Pearl TV Tower, I chatted with the management staff. It has been notified to the outside world that the area around the base will be closed for two days.

And the main road outside will also be temporarily closed for two or three hours in the early morning.

It has been notified to the outside world, and the set team is also busy. At that time, we will have to plant waist-high grass in this square and the main road, and find suitable places to put some scrapped cars.

There were also many tourists and passers-by at the scene. Seeing a large group of people busy writing, drawing, taking pictures, measuring, and the announcement just released, they all knew that some crews would temporarily seal off the filming around the TV tower, and couldn't help whispering , filming is fun.

"Which crew is this? I don't know if we want to perform as a group."

"Are there any big stars coming?"

"The Oriental Pearl TV Tower has been sealed off. I guess it has a lot to do with it."

"When I passed the Nanpu Bridge this morning, the radio seemed to say that it would be temporarily closed in the early morning and late at night. Could it be filming?"

"No way, which crew is so powerful, the Nanpu Bridge has been sealed, so why didn't Niu Pi seal Tiananmen Square?"

"I'll go, isn't that Li Qian?"

"Who, where?"

"Where is Li Qian, let me see?"

"Damn it, it's really Li Qian!"

"Li Qian's new film will be shot in Shanghai?"

"Isn't it a sci-fi movie about the end of the world? Could it be that the background is in the magic city, and you want to turn the magic city into the end of the world?"

Chapter 232

In mid-May, Labor Day has passed, and it is still early before the next holiday, the Dragon Boat Festival, an ordinary day.

In terms of the big screen, Ip Man 2 itself is not as good as the first one. The popularity has already passed. Although Iron Man 2 sold 2012 million in ten days, Hollywood blockbusters, except for [-] and even phenomenal movies like Avatar, will not attract much attention. high attention.

As for TV dramas, there are no popular dramas during this time period, and they are all reserved for the summer vacation.

The entertainment news is relatively quiet, just various scandals and the like, but compared with previous years, the existence of Weibo has attracted widespread attention to many small things.

Even a homeless man in Ningbo became popular and was widely known as Brother Sharp.

On the afternoon of the 17th, Li Qian and his crew were preparing for filming around the Oriental Pearl TV Tower in the Shanghai Metropolis. The crowd took photos and posted them on Weibo, which quickly attracted the attention of movie fans and became a hot topic on Weibo.

"Wow, I didn't expect Li Qian to come to Shanghai to film this time. I work in Lujiazui. It's very close. Let's go take a look after get off work."

"This is Li Qian's first time filming in a big city, the last time it seems to be filming in western Yunnan."

"I don't know what apocalyptic movie this time is. Li Qian often plays tricks. This time, I plan to do a group performance and follow the crew all the way to find out."

"Come on, I've worked as a group performer, and it's usually done within a day of filming. Those who have been with the group all the time are not called group performances."

"Hey, isn't the focus of your attention not being that Li Qian's I Am Legend was filmed in Shanghai. This is a sci-fi film of the end of the world, and the background is set in Shanghai."

"Damn it, that's right, actually filming an apocalyptic movie in Shanghai, or filming it on the spot, this is awesome!"

"This is to destroy the magic capital. I don't know how to do it. No information has been revealed."

"Raze the devil to the ground. People can blow up Hollywood and the White House. We can't be too petty."

......

There are no popular movies released now, and because I am Legend was chosen to be filmed in Shanghai, it has attracted the attention of a large number of movie fans.

The next day, the production crew had set up around the Oriental Pearl TV Tower. A large amount of waist-high grass was planted nearby and on both sides of the main road, and some weeds were scattered here and there.

Not only the Oriental Pearl TV Tower, but also various places such as Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street, you can see I am Legend crew haunting, and the layout is being planned according to the actual scene.

This scene was also photographed and passed on, especially the planting of weeds around the Oriental Pearl TV Tower, which aroused their curiosity.

This also means that the previous speculations about the causes of the end times have been overturned.

A flood like that in 2012 is basically impossible, and the world will enter the Ice Age the day after tomorrow, and there will be no tornadoes, tsunamis, or earthquakes.

However, Li Qian answered the fans' doubts when he held a movie launch conference in Shanghai.

"As I said before, I Am Legend is a sci-fi film about the end of the world. Human beings in the whole world are almost extinct due to the infection of a certain mutant virus, and there is only one male protagonist left in the entire magic city. To put it simply, this It is the story of the male protagonist living and surviving alone in this once prosperous metropolis."

At the opening press conference, facing the reporters, Li Qian did not hide anything.

Human beings are extinct, and the protagonist is left alone in the devil city?

Doesn't this mean that I Am Legend is another movie with one actor, just like the moon.

However, besides the actor Liu Ye, there are two other actors on stage.

"Director Li, may I ask what roles Yuan Quan and Zhang Zifeng are playing? Are they Liu Ye's wife and daughter? Didn't you say that there is only one male protagonist left in the city?"

The two actors on the stage besides Liu Ye are Yuan Quan and Zhang Zifeng. The heroine must not be too weak to survive with a child in this background.

As for the little girl, there is not much requirement, just cute.

It didn't take a lot of effort to cast this casting. Zhang Zifeng had just finished filming Ma Xiaogang's Tangshan Earthquake. Although the movie hadn't been released yet, he was still a well-known child actor.

"That's right, there are indeed only male protagonists left in the Demon City. As for what roles they play, everyone will know after the movie is released." Li Qian smiled.

Come on, I don't want to say it.
