After all of them were reborn, who would still be an actor?

Chapter 378: Panic and Escape

"He scolded me harshly." said Li Mingyang.

"You didn't show him the real script?"

Hui Yinhong is the only actor who received two sets of scripts.

Originally, she thought it was unnecessary, as Liu Shishi still had a talent for acting and could be honed over time.

When we actually started filming, we found that Li Mingyang was very good at judging people and his positioning of Liu Shishi was very accurate.

From a normal shooting perspective, Liu Shishi's performance was like a natural disaster.

But if you look at it from the second script, from the blind man's perspective, it's absolutely perfect!

Even Liu Shishi's messy lines were specially designed. Liu Shishi's script was different from theirs... It was convenient for dubbing and lip-syncing in the future to avoid any discrepancies between the lip movements and the voice.

"I originally wanted to show it to him, but then I thought better of it." Li Mingyang shook his head.

"Ah! Then he didn't cause you any trouble."

"Just ignore him."

"..."

Originally, Li Mingyang wanted to show Zuoshandiao the film's shooting plan, storyboards, and the actual script.

However, as Zuoshandiao kept cursing, Li Mingyang suddenly realized that the reason Zuoshandiao was being stripped of his power was not because of the vote subsidy.

It was a plan made long ago to relax some policies on Hollywood films this year.

It’s the decision from above.

Many film companies have heard the news, so they have reduced production this year.

I just didn’t expect that ticket subsidies would emerge out of nowhere and be so powerful.

Hollywood's ticket subsidies are a devastating blow to domestic films.

Bernard must move forward.

The mountain eagle also wants to rush.

By the time Zhang Yimou found out, The Flowers of War had already been filmed halfway through and there was no way for him to escape.

However, there is no intention of stopping.

Because the cinema chains can no longer hold on... Nine out of ten domestic cinemas are losing money, even with government support, subsidies for each screen, and free renovations for cinemas with more than three screens.

However, with the new era of digital movies, IMAX screens, and 3D screens, screens are becoming increasingly advanced and the cost of theaters remains high.

However, the revenue is pitifully small. Most of the time in the year, the cinema is deserted and operates at a loss.

In order to accelerate the development of the film market and reverse the current situation of the film market, the authorities are preparing to use Hollywood movies to open up the situation.

Then the eagle was in trouble.

But this is only temporary, there will be a new trend next year.

Last year, there were more than 6000 screens across the country, and this year the goal is screens.

4000 increase per year...

Ticket subsidies + Hollywood, and the opening of loan channels, the cinema chain is also quite powerful... There will be at least 9,000 screens this summer...

At least 12,000 yuan by the end of the year. Double it!

There are only about 3,000 screens in Xiaozihu...but their box office revenue is 20 billion a year.

The return rate of Xiao Ri Zi Cinema is quite amazing, currently more than five times that of the domestic level!
Li Mingyang guessed that Zuoshandiao came to him today to ask him to shoot another film. After all, the domestic films were doing so badly and he would also suffer... After all, he was the helmsman.

I must take the blame for this.

But the witch took such a bad picture that Zuoshandiao was so busy cursing her that he forgot to say anything.

Also good.

Finished dinner.

Li Mingyang and Sister Hong conceived the shooting of the action scenes together.

Each Hong Kong action director has his own characteristics, style, and unique skills.

For example, Sammo Hung is best at group fights...

Zhen Zhidan is good at fighting in the ring.

Jackie Chan is good at parkour and action comedy.

Tangren's martial arts instructor, Chen Weitao, is best at swordplay.

Sister Hong has filmed hundreds of action scenes and is very knowledgeable, so it is a bit difficult for her to be a martial arts instructor, but she can still tell the quality and difficulty of an action scene.

"Director Li, isn't this too easy..." Hui Yinhong said after taking off her glasses after reading the storyboard.

"Low?"

"Shishi has a very good foundation. This move is too simple. In close combat, she can use her legs more. Her leg skills are pretty good."

"Well... let's take a closer look at the positioning. This positioning always feels a bit awkward to me."

"Group fights mainly depend on coordination. With more coordination, no matter how difficult it is, it will flow naturally. Look at Brother Hong's group fights, which highlight the large scope, speed, accuracy and ruthlessness. It is very entertaining to watch."

The famous action teams in the circle are mainly from Hong Kong, such as the Yuan Family, the Zhen Family, the Hong Family, and the Cheng Family.

Mingyang Entertainment also has its own action team, but it is not very mature. They were recruited from Hengpiao.

Li Mingyang doesn't like Hong Kong's action team, mainly because the risk factor is too high...

Especially the Cheng family team, they really risk their lives.

Times have changed. Blue and green screen special effects will be the mainstream in the future. Not to mention action movies, even feature films have such amazing special effects.

Jumping off a building is child's play. The future journey is to the stars and the sea!

Hollywood superhero movies don't have such high requirements for action, but they have very high requirements for acting skills. The detailed level of the storyboards will definitely refresh the domestic audience's views.

Those are storyboards comparable to Dragon Ball...

The actors have to perform without props according to the storyboard and on the green screen of a specific scene.

The scenes that the audience saw in the cinema were magnificent and shocking, with the atmosphere of fireworks and other people.

In fact, on the set, there may only be one door and one actor.

Then it was gone...

All the actors can rely on are the storyboards and their acting skills.

Although Mingyang Entertainment does not have an action team, its production direction is superhero movies.

The storyboard team has expanded from a dozen people to more than thirty people. What they draw is not the scribbles like Jiang Wen's, but comic standards.

The Witch has not been filmed yet, but the design of the storyboard has been ongoing.

Witch is his first superhero movie and also the beginning of the One Punch Man universe.

In fact, he takes it very seriously.

The level of importance is even higher than that of Weathering With You.

After all, Weathering With You has the original film as reference.

The witch can only rely on vague memories...which almost completely changes the witch's character design.

However, Liu Shishi's performance lived up to the name of Blind Sister and did not seem like she was acting.

So natural.

If it weren’t for the filming of Running Man, Li Mingyang felt that it would take less than a month to finish.

……

The next day, the Witch crew conducted action training in the morning, with Sister Hong in charge.

We will rehearse again in the afternoon. This time there will be no blood-splattering, and the main focus will be on fighting and positioning.

The cameras were not on.

While the others were busy rehearsing, Li Mingyang took Wu Zhikui and Ye Xiangdong around the base, imagining the scenes and telling them his requirements.

After a busy day, the crew hurriedly had dinner in the evening, and Li Mingyang, Liu Shishi, Bai Bin, Li Xin and others got on the bus to Hangzhou.

Running Man will start filming on April 4st at West Lake.

Li Mingyang had to go to Hangzhou one day in advance to carry out preparations before the start of filming.

At around nine o'clock in the evening, the bus stopped at the Four Seasons Hotel West Lake.

The hotel paid for it, and the opening ceremony was held right at the entrance of the hotel. The venue had been basically set up.

It was very popular, and they even put up banners...

This banner is really very Chinese in style and even made Li Mingyang laugh.

"Shishi, you guys go around the hotel first. Ask for food or play. Don't hesitate. We have enough funds this time. Don't save money for the crew," said Li Mingyang.

Liu Shishi nodded and looked around with some curiosity. The Four Seasons Hotel at West Lake is one of the most luxurious hotels around West Lake.

The garden-style hotel has winding paths, rippling water and hidden courtyards, and is filled with plants such as willows, ginkgo trees, cannas, etc., comparable to a mini botanical garden.

The price of a deluxe garden view room is five or six thousand.

An independent villa costs fifty or sixty thousand per night.

In order to advertise, the hotel not only spent two million, but also waived one week's room charges.

While the others visited the hotel, Li Mingyang, under the guidance of the manager, passed through pavilions, winding woods, and came to the Chinese-style villa on the lakeside.

Li Mingyang came to this hotel last time and it was ridiculously big.

There are many complicated gates between the public area and the guest room area, and it is easy to get lost.

Li Mingyang came to the new Chinese-style living room. Boss Zhao was sitting on a wooden chair, staring at the TV, which was playing the first season of Running Man.

It seems to have been edited, and all of them are his shots.

"Boss Zhao, long time no see."

"Not long." Boss Zhao smiled and pulled Li Mingyang to sit down, then handed Li Mingyang a document, "Director Li, this is the investment promotion information for Running Man."

"No need to watch it, I'm only a director, not a permanent member."

"The pay can be negotiated. If you don't shoot, it will be hard for me to report to you."
