my time as a director

Wu Jing's new film PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds also finished editing after a long period of shooting and post-production. The semi-finished film was released. Li Qian also took time to go back to the studio and watched the edited film in the computer room.

No dubbing, no score, no color correction, just good editing.

But for professional people, it doesn't affect viewing at all.

In the comedy industry, there is a saying that when a comedy is turned off and the sound is turned off, it can still be understood and laughed out, it is a really good comedy.

Many vulgar comedies rely on exaggerated actions and lines to make fun, and without voice, there is no soul.

And a comedy that can laugh without listening to the sound is indeed a well-deserved good movie.

Not only comedies, but basically all genres are applicable. Whether there are dubbing and soundtracks does not affect Li Qian's appreciation of how well the film is edited.

The movie is a bit long at 110 minutes.

"Not bad, very good, especially the action scenes, which surprised me so much."

Two hours later, Wu Jing was finally relieved by Li Qian's first words.

Chapter 237 The Farce of the Summer Vacation

The original version of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds was Death Row Battle Royale, a film that is somewhat similar to the neon classic movie Battle Royale.

People who read a lot of movies can probably guess the main plot from the title.

A very powerful organization got ten death row prisoners from the prison, threw them on a deserted island, let them fight each other, and then decided the winner.

Li Qian's idea changed the identities of the ten participants, and a big reason was the identities of death row prisoners.

Those sentenced to death are basically criminals who have committed the most heinous crimes. Even if they are the leading actors, they should not be alive in the end.

In the movie, good people don't have to live, but bad people must die, especially those who commit capital crimes.

Regardless of the regulations of optoelectronics, this is one of the most basic universal values ​​in modern society.

Of course, if the background was different, in ancient times, in some disordered part of Africa, it wouldn't matter.

The plot of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds is basically the same as the original storyboard. After filming Wolf Fang, Wu Jing's director level has improved significantly, and there are basically no major problems.

However, what Li Qian cared about was not how well the film was made, but to find something out of it.

Wu Jing starred in these two films, Wolf Warrior and Wolf Warrior 2. After the release of Wolf Fang, which he directed and starred in, Li Qian suspected that he also directed and starred in these two films.

Langya’s investment plus the pitiful publicity is only 300 million, the box office in the mainland is more than 400 million, and Xiangjiang is more than 200 million, adding up to 600 million yuan.

This kind of low-cost movie without big-name stars will definitely not be sold in Southeast Asia, and the TV copyright in the mainland is not worth a lot of money, so it is certain to lose money.

However, a cost of 300 million was exchanged for a box office of 600 million. Simply looking at the ratio of box office to cost, it is already very good, better than most directors, let alone this is Wu Jing's first film.

If he really transforms into a director, he will generally not shoot other people's films, let alone the same genre, the probability of him directing and acting in the Wolf Warrior series is very high.

However, the style of Spike is very different from that of the Wolf Warrior series.

Wolf Fang is completely a Hong Kong film, and as an action film, many actions are direct and deadly, but the overall style is indeed very calm.

The fighting scene is very happy, but it gives the whole film a very calm tone and aesthetic feeling.

The Wolf Warrior series is different, it is a very passionate war movie, especially the second one.

In addition, the narrative style and lens language are very different. The Wolf Warrior series basically learned from Hollywood, the standard three-camera method, the objective lens, the subjective lens and the semi-subjective lens. It is also a magic weapon used by Hollywood movies from the 40s to the present .

The difference in style was a bit big, which made Li Qian a little uncertain.

But this PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds made Li Qian really sure that the Wolf Warrior series was directed and acted by Wu Jing himself.

Most of the rivalry scenes between two people in PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds are to give an intermediate shot first, then one of the characters will shoot the front shot, and then give the other character a reverse shot.

It is exactly the same as Wolf Warrior, especially the confrontation between Leng Feng and Lao Mao, from gunfight to hand-to-hand combat, which lasts for 5 minutes, and in PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, Wu Jing and a strong white actor played a former tactical team of the special assault group of the Marine Corps. Captain, the final duel between the two of them has the taste of Wolf Warriors.

"Brother Jing, your movie has the taste of a Hollywood movie."

The style became a bit big, so Li Qian asked casually.

Wu Jing didn't expect that Li Qian would not talk about the movie itself, but asked about other things, but he still said, "Didn't I play a trick in Mummy 3 before, playing a thug, and I was beaten to death by Brother Jie as soon as I came out. After staying in that crew for a few days, I felt that it was different from those action movies in Xiangjiang.

This time PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds except for my own, the other eight characters are all foreigners. I also talked to them. The characteristics of each country are really different. Tony Jia from the Kingdom of China, his muay thai is very fierce , even more ruthless than my performance in Sha Po Lang.

But there are mainly a few white actors. They used to specialize in Hollywood action movies, so I borrowed their shooting methods, learning from foreigners. "

That's how it is, I learned it from the foreign actors in the crew.

After the doubts were resolved, Li Qian chatted with him about the movie itself.

"Overall, there is no major problem with this editing, except that there are too many close-ups and slow motions of the supporting characters before they die. Except for the one who was killed at the end, and the one who was air-dropped into the sea and drowned at the beginning, the remaining seven Personally, give close-ups of at most three people before they die, to avoid excessive sensationalism."

A common problem of many immature directors is that they can't get the key points clearly and follow the gourd.

Wu Jing also felt a little awkward about this question, he asked, "I found out when I arranged everyone's identities, it was too easy to be the same, the mercenary on the African battlefield missed his wife, and the international killer couple was also a relationship between husband and wife , After getting rid of family affection and love, there is nothing to be sensational about."

Li Qian thought for a while, "Let's keep the muay thai master, the couple of international killers, and the number one thug of the biggest gangster in Neon, and let the others have a good time and die quickly."

Muay Thai master, played by Tony Jia, famous for Boxing Fighter series and Dong Meng Kung Fu, also starred in Sha Po Lang 2.

Tony Jia played a big boy who offended the local gangsters and had to escape. He smuggled to Xiangjiang to work for the family's livelihood, which is perfect.

The couple of international killers also have a lot of scenes. Not long after the beginning, a man thought that the woman was a bully and wanted to kill her, but he was killed by the woman instead.

However, the two of them were also killed by the Americans one after another. The wife was killed first, and the husband died after revenge.

The number one thug of the Neon No. [-] gangster has a bloody identity. He has a girl he likes, and the girl's family has opened a small shop...

Needless to say, I can guess later, it is nothing more than helping their family get rid of the little gangsters, and using their position in the organization to protect their family.

The girl also likes him, but he is worried that his identity will implicate her, so he has been keeping her close and secretly protecting her.

In the movie, the gangster who is an orphan only cares about the girl. From time to time, he holds the peace amulet that the girl asked for in the temple and looks at it. He strings it up with a rope and tie it around his neck.

In the end, he was also strangled to death by a rope tied with a peace talisman around his neck.

"Give Nihong people more roles, don't cut them all, so that the audience will say that we are discriminating." Li Qian laughed.

Wu Jing was also amused by Li Qian's words. When talking to him, Li Qian first talked about the Nanbang taekwondo master and arranged for him to mock the protagonist on the plane. There was a malfunction during the airdrop, and he was thrown into the sea and drowned.

Hands and feet are all chained, no matter how skilled you are in the water, it's useless.

It's not that he discriminates against Nan Bang for being so aggrieved.

But it doesn't matter, and such an exciting movie, the opening paragraph is probably quite funny.
