my time as a director

That's Wu Jing Alexander. Originally, I was a director who just made a movie. When I met Xu Ke, Wu Yusen, and the famous Donnie Yen, I didn't even have the qualifications to be under pressure.

However, who told me that this film was supervised by Li Qian, and the production cost was 3000 million, which is quite a lot.

If he loses money again and messes up Li Qian's famous brand, it will be difficult.

However, I Am Legend was released one day after If You Are the One 2, Li Qian's choice made them unexpected.

Could it be that they deliberately aimed at Ma Xiaogang?

Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, Chen Kexin, Ma Xiaogang, Wu Yusen, and Zhou Xingchi are left.

"Boss, don't you have a hobby of collecting stamps, do you want to do it for every big director?" Guo Fan pondered for a moment and said.

"..."

"Can you speak well?" Li Qian's head was full of black lines.

Those who didn't know heard this and thought they had some eccentricities.

Although this was not the other, Su Lun and Wu Jing were still holding back their laughter.

"I said, Lao Guo, why are you so lax when you are a law student?" Wu Jing began to criticize seriously.

what did i say?

Guo Fan was confused, but he didn't worry about it, but talked about his business.

"Boss, I found a good story some time ago, and I plan to adapt it, can you see if there is something wrong?"

"Fuck you, finish the later stage of the time planning bureau first, half-hearted, people like you deserve to be single!"

After cursing angrily, Li Qian entered the computer room, closed the door tightly, and started to do his own work.

"I'm single... I don't know how many girls like me."

"Did they like it?" Su Lun asked back.

.......

They chatted and joked outside the door, but Li Qian turned a deaf ear to them.

I am legendary. The rough cuts and recuts have already been done during filming. I didn’t shoot in advance. If there is no problem, I will hand it over to the editor for rough cuts and recuts.

Editing is not difficult, there are few scenes, the narrative method is simple and single, and there are few characters. Most of the shots do not require much consideration.

The main thing is the two-line narrative and the character anti-hero.

According to Li Qian’s memory, those Hollywood superhero movies, or those where the hero is saving the world, are all in order to highlight the mystery of the characters and reduce the cost of character creation.

This kind of role is detached from ordinary people and is the image of a savior.

In fact, it is similar to the character image of Gao Daquan in the main theme film and television drama in terms of shaping.

This kind of film will appropriately reduce the portrayal of the characters, resulting in the flattening and stereotyping of the characters in superhero movies. The superheroes I have seen for many years are all extraordinary abilities, flying to the sky and omnipotent. flat image.

As for I Am Legend, although the hero is a legend, just like the title, he has become the hope to save all mankind.

Instead of following the traditional model of hero creation, it avoids these routine character attributes. Instead, it uses a breakthrough idea to shape the image of the protagonist, an ordinary person in mainstream society.

Although his identity is not ordinary, a military virus research expert, a colonel rank, an ordinary person in the 90s will never come into contact with such a person in his life.

However, apart from his identity, he is just an ordinary person. He has neither an indestructible shell nor a superpower to deal a fatal blow to the enemy. He does not have the image of a traditional hero who is always outside the mainstream society and gives people a sense of distance.

It takes a lot of shots to create such an ordinary person, which is also the necessity of a two-line narrative.

Otherwise, the editing can be more old-fashioned, and all the meetings of the male protagonist are concentrated in the opening title, as a fragment such as a preface and an overture.

In the dream, the past of the event is recalled through flashbacks, allowing the audience to re-enter the inner world of the character himself from a head-up perspective, which narrows the emotion and distance between the protagonist and the audience psychologically, and also allows the characters Become unprecedented three-dimensional and layered.

Moreover, unlike "blockbusters", I Am Legend pays more attention to the plot, and does not rely on eye-stimulating big scenes to attract people.

Of course, traditional disaster movies are about a group of people resisting disasters, but this movie is about one person. If it doesn't focus on the plot, it can't be done.

Plot-heavy movies also have high requirements for editing, but such a movie with a single character reduces the trouble of editing.

However, it is still a test of skill. Just close all the iron doors of the house that night, hugging Rob and the dog curled up in the bathtub, by looking down at the camera, panning slowly, and freezing in a close-up of Liu Ye's face.

For the traditional routine, here should be a close-up close to two seconds to show the emotions of the characters at the time, because this way of sleeping is abnormal.

But Li Qian didn't have it here, and just when the camera moved to Liu Ye's face, Li Qian cut it off.

There is no extra rendering of the atmosphere. Locking the iron door in front, closing the window, and hugging the dog and snuggling up in the bathtub are enough to show the tense atmosphere.

It is a good thing to add the finishing touch, but it is often superfluous.

When the camera moved to Liu Ye's face and stopped abruptly, the whole night made the audience think about how dangerous and lonely it is.

Followed by the memories of the past, the memories in the dream are also a critical moment for the evacuation of the Shanghai Pudong area.

Sleeping is originally a very peaceful thing, but after receiving a tense memory plot, it can echo the situation of the hero from afar.

Moreover, recalling the critical moment, the hero woke up, but when he woke up, he was not sleeping in the bathtub, but on the bed.

This is also very ingenious, why did he wake up in bed.

Uncomfortable sleeping in the bathtub?

Surely, the bathtub is not a place to sleep.

But that's not the main thing. It doesn't matter whether you feel comfortable or not at this time, it would be nice to wake up and be alive.

What happened halfway, whether it was a shock, an accident, or something else, made the hero go back to bed and sleep again.

Or it's just a simple uncomfortable sleep, which gives people daydream again.

In terms of many details, it is still necessary to be careful, one person's movie, especially the details and rhythm.

But overall, it's relatively easy to do.

Time always flies by, day by day, I am legendary and finished the fine cut in 20 days, only the last compound cut is left.

At the end of September, the National Day file is coming soon!

Chapter 244 The second half of this year
