The King of Directors 2000

Chapter 339 "Extreme Escape" Finished
Time flies, time flies.

Late September is coming soon, and as Deng Chao and Li Lianhua become more and more familiar with parkour and climbing, the filming progress of "Extreme Escape" crew is getting faster and faster.

Lee Sung Yew originally planned to shoot for two months, but now it seems that the filming can be completed in 54 days.

They had filmed the show's most dangerous scene last night.

In this scene, the hero and heroine finally escaped from birth. The two came to a construction site, then climbed up the tower crane, and continued to climb up, and finally got rescued.

In order to ensure the safety of Deng Chao and Li Lianhua, a lot of preparations were made in this part of the scene. Not only were safety ropes fastened, they even prepared safety air cushions on the ground.

Fortunately, both Li Lianhua and Deng Chao were dedicated and skilled, so they completed it smoothly in the end.

In this way, all the night scenes of "Extreme Escape" were filmed.

Next is the daytime scenes in the plot, not many, and can be filmed in three days.

Lee Sung Yew gave the actors and crew a day off to adjust.

He will start filming the daytime scene a day later, and the cast members will naturally be on the day shift.

……

The daytime role of "Extreme Escape" is very simple.

All funny stories.

For example, the hero is dressed up and is about to go out, but meets his mother, who then messes up his hair.

"You don't want to work, why do you dress like you have a job?"

Another example is that the hero is exercising in the park, and his nephew and a group of friends pass by.

"Oh, that person looks like your uncle, is it your uncle?"

When the nephew heard this, he was very excited.

"How is it possible? That's a psychopath. My uncle is much more handsome than him."

In fact, the nephew recognized the actor, but he felt ashamed and did not want to recognize each other.

Today's filming is about the male protagonist doing all kinds of tricks on a single pole in the park, making incredible moves.

But there is no ideal audience nearby, only three gray-haired grandmothers sitting side by side on the stone bench, silently watching the actor.

When the actor notices the grandma watching, the grandma in the middle gives a thumbs up.

Seeing this, the hero was extremely embarrassed.

This scene is the last scene of the crew of "Extreme Escape". After filming, they will wrap it up.

There is no Li Lianhua scene today, but she is still here.

The rest of the actors are also here, and they're all waiting for the movie to wrap up.

Deng Chao has been exercising for several months. He can support his hands, and then do various movements with his legs, showing excellent waist and abdomen strength.

But he couldn't do it with one hand.

Li Shengyao didn't blame Deng Chao for this, he just asked Deng Chao to complete the movement of both hands.

Under such circumstances, Deng Chao successfully completed all kinds of hand movements, and this set of scenes was filmed in four to ten minutes.

Li Shengyao clapped his hands, "Okay, very good."

Not long after, the field workers brought the microphones and cleared the center of the set.

Li Shengyao took the microphone and shouted, ""Extreme Escape" is finished."

It was finally finished. Although the shooting time was not very long, the previous [-] days of night scenes were still very tiring.

Both the actors and field workers were very happy and cheered and applauded.

Li Shengyao then brought his assistants to give out red envelopes for everyone.

Then it was announced that they would have a wrap-up banquet in the evening.

Not long after, the actors left, and the reporters stepped forward to interview Li Shengyao.

"Director Li, Jay Chou likes "Extreme Escape" very much, saying that it will be a cool movie, and now many people outside hope that "Extreme Escape" will break the [-] million box office this year, what do you think? "

Jay Chou said he liked "Extreme Escape" half a month ago.

As for the movie breaking [-] million this year, it has gradually become a new topic in the entertainment industry.

"Hero" is a movie made at the end of 2002, and it fetched 5000 million in the mainland.

However, in 2003 and 2004, there were no movies breaking [-] million.

In 03, the new cinema chain system was clearly defined, and the mainland Hong Kong Island co-production system was established.

This year, private companies are even allowed to build theater chains, and real estate companies headed by Wanda have built movie theaters on a large scale.

There are more movie theaters and more movies, so it stands to reason that the single-film box office should also increase, but so far, it seems that there is no sign of this.

So far this year, there are still no movies with more than [-] million yuan.

"Mythology" has already been screened in the mainland the day before yesterday, and the effect is average.

Many media have concluded that "Mythology" cannot exceed [-] million.

Under such circumstances, many media put movies with a value of more than [-] million yuan on the Lunar New Year file.

"If Love", "Extreme Escape", "The Great Sage of Love", and "Riding Alone for Thousands of Miles" are all optimistic.

Li Shengyao smiled when he heard this, "I didn't think too much about it myself. Of course I hope that the higher the box office, the better. But to be honest, 1 million is really difficult. I hope there are more than [-] million. Just keep the capital."

"With Jay Chou singing the theme song, isn't Brother Cheng Long also a guest star?"

"No, of course, if it really breaks [-] million, then I will treat you."

Lee Sheng Yew still pursues the previous low-key policy. No matter how much you praise the outside world, he insists that it is enough to exceed [-] million.

Although "Extreme Escape" has many advantages, it is tense and funny.

But Li Shengyao did not have much confidence.

He didn't want to slap people in the face after speaking wild words now.

In his plan, his own movie that broke [-] million yuan is the next movie, and he will make a movie with a bigger scene by then.

In this case, he is more confident to break through [-] million.

In fact, the audience at this time just likes to watch big scenes.

In his previous life, the box office champion in the mainland in 06 was "Full City with Golden Flowers", with 9000 million yuan.

That's a standard blockbuster.

The domestic box office champion in 07 was "Transformers", with a box office of 8000 million.

The mainland box office champion in 08 was "On the Red Cliff", which finally broke [-] million.

It is also a big scene movie.

At this time, ordinary people like to watch blockbuster movies, which is the aesthetics of this era.

You can't change it. It's impossible to say that making a low-cost movie can lead the times.

So for the box office of "Extreme Escape", Li Shengyao has always said that [-] million is enough, and it is fine if it does not lose money.

The reporters felt a little helpless about Li Shengyao's words. Director Li is too modest. However, if Director Li thinks this, they will not be able to write news full of gimmicks, then they will be underestimated.

The reporters then left in a hurry, and many people thought of a headline in their minds—"Director Li just passed the pass when he threatened to break [-] million, and [-] million is the goal."

Li Shengyao didn't know that those reporters were making up things again. He waited for two hours for the assistant and the assistant director to sort out the data. He checked them one by one, and finally confirmed that there was no problem, so he left with his assistant.

It was almost twelve o'clock at noon.

Star City is still a bit hot, and it is estimated that the temperature will not drop until after the National Day.

Sitting in the car, Li Shengyao looked at the crowds hurrying by outside, the continuous flow of traffic, and the construction site that sprung up like mushrooms, and he couldn't help but be full of anticipation.

The filming of "Extreme Escape" is finished, and the next step is post-production, which will be released in the Lunar New Year file.

Come on, "Riding Alone for Thousands of Miles", "The Great Sage of Love", "If You Love", let's have a good time.
