Chapter 93 Preliminary Preparations
As time goes by mid-September, the film market is still very popular.
"Rise of the Planet of the Apes 2: Battle at Dawn" is the leader, winning the mainland box office championship for two consecutive weeks, with a cumulative box office of 420 million.
"Embroidered Chun Dao" has a steady decline, with a cumulative box office exceeding 460 million, and it is profitable for both light and Shen Lin.
By the way, this week, a movie starring Xie Wang and Gao Yuanyuan was launched, called "A Lifetime"
Coincidentally, in early September, Zhuo Wei exposed a "Feng Fei Century Reunion". Damn, I really don't know if it is to cooperate with the film promotion.
Then, relying on huge topics, "A Life of Life" actually won the box office championship for three consecutive days, and was released for two weeks, with a cumulative box office of 170 million!
Damn, it's unfair to do this!
But I still wish this old lover who has been in circles for more than ten years.
Bao Ye was very unhappy, and his big screen debut "Unreachable" was treated coldly, and he only received 4020,000 yuan in three days.
The luxurious cast led by Sun Honglei and Gui Lunmei can guarantee an average daily sensation of 29,000, but it cannot guarantee an attendance rate. The average average of the film is only 14 viewers.
"I refreshed my understanding of bad movies again! As a 50-year-old director, Zhao Baogang tried his best to tell a love story with a sense of age, but I only saw two crazy things. I won't talk about the story, it's all complaints, and opening a barrage scene should be very effective. The editing is so bad, and the abuse of sports shots is everywhere. I want to play erotic edges. But the man is vulgar and dirty, and the woman is always a generous expression of death, and I don't see where the desire is entangled."
"It's so bad, the screenwriter is poor, the story is unreasonable, the lines are strange. The director is poor, the rhythm is chaotic, and there is no requirement for the performance. The last two scenes were even more thrilling... Director Zhao would rather go back and shoot urban youth TV series."
Not only that, many people called out to Zhao Baogang, saying that there were twenty Feng Xiaogangs between him and Chen Lin!
One sentence offended two big directors!
However, Chen Lin had no time to pay attention to these things, and he only cared about "Embroidered Spring Knife".
According to the normal box office trend analysis, as of the downward stage, "Embroidered Spring Knife" should be able to earn more than 500 million yuan.
For a Light Movie that is nearly 100 million, the box office of "The Embroidered Spring Sword" can only be considered fairly normal, but the reputation effect is obvious. Many martial arts enthusiasts leave messages under director Lu Yang's Weibo to quickly shoot the second part.
Lu Yang was also very powerful and immediately announced the project of "Embroidered Chunsword 2 Shura Battlefield". Chen Lin did not participate in the investment this time, but gave it to the light.
He has always been exclusive to the bone and is the worst collaborator!
...
Spring City, Yunnan.
The main creator behind "Operation Mekong", director Chen Lin, photographer Wendi Deng, three deputy directors, as well as blasting expert Chen Ke, action director Dong Wei and our special art consultant Comrade Liu Yuejin.
Except for Dong Wei, the others are old teammates who have worked with Chen Lin several times before.
"Interstellar" uses the Hollywood team, and there is no way. Chen Lin has no right to use the domestic team in the film led by Disney. When it comes to "Tianyi", Chen Lin deliberately arranged the team members to enter. Although there is also a Hollywood team, most of the people responsible for performing on-site shooting are still Chen Lin's original team - this is also the most important reason why "Tianyi" can be completed quickly.
In this "Mekong Operation", Chen Lin had already greeted them when he received this project. These people quickly finished their work and joined the group as quickly as possible.
"Li Dong," Chen Lin's eyes turned to the head of the prop group, "This is a documentary movie. We must abandon those exaggerated weapons, such as guns that need to be restored one to one. You can ask Brother Liu for more advice in this regard."
"Okay!" Li Dong nodded, "Actually, we have been studying domestic weapons these days, and Director Liu has also given us a lot of opinions..."
"There is no need, Director Shen. In fact, when we carry out regular arrests, we did not use domestic weapons."
Liu Yuejin waved his hand abruptly: "The weapons and equipment assigned by our special operations team are carried out in accordance with international standards. Except for the submachine guns that use domestic police 9mm submachine guns (CS/Ls5 type submachine guns), the others are Czech or American weapons."
“…”
It's so embarrassing. Fortunately, I found an expert, otherwise I would have been criticized by various things on props alone!
"Wendi, we don't have to go to Malay. The Thai government said it will provide us with filming assistance. We can just shoot directly in Chiang Mai Province! Of course, we can build necessary scenes in China."
I don’t know why the Thai government agreed to provide a force of about 80 people to assist in the shooting.
It was a bit beyond the expectations of Shen Lin and the public security.
However, a movie actually alarmed the Thai government. It seems that Operation Mekong has attracted a lot of attention!
As for domestic scenes, it is easy to understand. No matter how much people give you face, you cannot stage an explosion scene on their territory. Moreover, according to Chen Lin's idea, that explosion scene is very important and must be shot in real scenes.
"Guide Liu, I need the Ministry of Public Security to arrange several military helicopters. Don't worry, we will rent them at the standard price!"
The Ministry of Public Security has fully assisted in this movie.
Therefore, Liu Yuejin nodded in the right to use these necessary equipment.
"Everyone expresses their opinions and discusses what else needs to be solved!"
Chen Lin almost finished speaking his thoughts, and then signaled to the rest of the team to speak and express his opinions.
Several of you here have read the storyboard script and have an intuitive understanding of what kind of movie Chen Lin wants to shoot.
This kind of preparation will exist to solve the problem, and the crew needs to reach a basic consensus as soon as possible and work in one direction.
"Director Chen, are we too big? Look at this, Fang Xinwu used lynching, and Gao Gang actually shot a child to death! Is this too cruel?"
Wendi Deng has always wanted to discuss this matter with Chen Lin.
As a photographer in his forties, Wendi Deng was a member of the system of China Film Studio. He had filmed similar main theme movies before.
He felt it was unnecessary to show these.
The movie can show the heroic spirit of the anti-drug police in other aspects. Would it be too cruel to insist on talking about a child?
"The main theme! It is not the main theme of the bloody scene being castrated, but the main theme of the dignity of the country! If we are not cruel to the enemy, what is the meaning of peace and stability exchanged for our hero's death? If we do not shoot children, the self-destructive attack of children is disrespect for our soldiers' lives. The more kind you are to the enemy, the crueler you are to yourself!"
Chen Lin said this passage with a heart-warming and vivid expression, "To be honest, the script you saw is already a script that I have compromised for dozens of steps. The script I originally prepared was much more bloody than this one!"
"Well said!"
Liu Yuejin applauded, "We just want to scare those drug dealers! Those anti-drug police officers gave their lives to the country, and they fought against those drug dealers day and night. Some of them could not even have their names after their death, for fear that drug dealers would retaliate against their families. I just want to tell them that if you dare to make trouble, I dare to torture you in a hundred thousand ways."
All the people here were inspired by Liu Yuejin's words!
Chen Lin was also very excited on the surface, but his heart was a little desolate.
"By the way, Chen Lin."
Yu Dongda, who hadn't spoken, asked, "Have you ever thought about the specific release date of the video?"
"What advice do you have?"
Chen Lin did not answer, but asked a question instead.
"Or, we will be on National Day next year..."
Chapter completed!
