The Birth of the Best Director

Chapter 106 The birth of a world-famous painting, the movie will definitely be a hit!

……

The next morning.

Lu Zhiyuan led his men to start work.

The wind was very strong, and the waves from the seashore rolled in, and the spectacular sight of waves crashing against the shore began to appear.

The big tree was swaying back and forth in the wind.

Unfortunately, there were no dark clouds in the sky yet, and it still felt a little short of that doomsday-like scene.

The entire crew seemed to have been disappointed, and everyone's face showed a sense of loss and anxiety.

Eight cameras were used, and the daily expenses for the crew alone were quite a lot of money, not to mention the many security guards.

The money I spend every day shooting here is probably enough to buy a house.

"Wait!"

"My grandmother's family is from Zhoushan, so I know the weather on the island!"

"Don't think it's sunny now. As long as the wind blows, the rain will come soon. By then, the whole Weizhou Island will be covered in heavy rain. The wind will blow the rain, making it difficult for you to stand or even breathe."

"All units should prepare and take safety measures."

"In two hours at most, the scene I want will appear!"

I felt the wind getting stronger, saw the waves rolling in, and saw a hint of red on the horizon.

Lu Zhiyuan knew that the scene he was waiting for was about to appear.

……

"Brother Gao, you heard wrong. The person who was yelling just now wasn't A Yuan, but an assistant director on the set of the crew."

"Ayuan is a very literary person. He doesn't like to talk and wouldn't shout so loudly. That's not his style."

Lu Zhiyuan was yelling at the crew members to stay calm, saying they would be able to shoot the scene he wanted today and that no one would be in any danger.

Because typhoons usually make landfall at night.

That was the most terrifying time.

In the evening, before landing, you can still try it.

On the other side, Xin Yukun was talking on the phone with Gao Yuanyuan's elder brother.

The other party told Xin Yukun that they were planning to set up a company for this robot project.

For technical support, he can seek help from professors and students at Tsinghua University.

As for financial support, Lu Zhiyuan did not need to pay any money. He received an angel investment of about 3000 million from a wealthy woman.

"A Kun, please find a quiet place and I'll discuss the terms with you."

"For this robotics company, I'll be responsible for product design, and you'll be responsible for marketing and promotion. We'll collaborate and sign a long-term strategic contract for 5 to 10 years."

"Once the contract is signed, I will lead the team to develop the first generation of products as quickly as possible, and then seek financing from investment banks. The first installment of this money will be used to support you in starting the filming of your second robot movie, which is the 'Real Steel' you mentioned earlier."

"But I have a condition."

"We all know that for a robot movie like this, the female lead just needs to be pretty; fame and acting skills are secondary."

"Do you think my sister Gao Yuanyuan is pretty enough?"

This is definitely a soul-searching question!

If Gao Yuanyuan is pretty enough, it means that the heroine must be played by Gao Yuanyuan.

Bring capital into the group.

There's nothing surprising about this.

Jingtian can do it, and so can our Gao Yuanyuan!

"Brother Gao, it depends on how much money you pay."

"The investment in this film will not be less than 5000 million US dollars, which is almost 4 million RMB."

Xin Yukun was really suffocating.

In this "Real Steel", the female lead will definitely be Jing Tian.

No one expected that Gao Yuanyuan would suddenly appear and try to snatch the heroine away.

Isn't this a joke?
"You have a cooperative foundation with Universal Pictures. They invested 2000 million US dollars in this movie 'Upgrade'. As long as it makes a profit, they will also invest in the next movie."

"Besides, you have a good relationship with Starlight. If this movie is successful, not only will Starlight invest in the next one, but Wanda will probably also follow suit."

"I have information channels that Wanda is contacting Hollywood's AMC Theaters and seems to be interested in acquiring it."

"I know that under normal circumstances, choosing Jing Tian as the heroine of this movie would be good for everyone."

"But Jing Tian doesn't lack this heroine. Over at Starlight Canlan, countless blockbuster resources are waiting for Jing Tian, ​​but my sister Gao Yuanyuan doesn't have so many opportunities."

"As the eldest brother, since I have the ability this time, shouldn't I fight for my sister?"

"A-Kun, I didn't let you down. Don't let me down, okay?"

It's really uncomfortable to chat with smart people.

The other party knows everything.

He even knew what he was thinking.

Xin Yukun hated this feeling. He felt a sense of frustration as if someone was crushing him with their IQ.

In the end, he could only act rogue: "Brother Gao, I can't make the decision on this matter. You should start the robot company first. The more successful you are, the closer Gao Yuanyuan will be to becoming the heroine."

"A-Kun, I understand what you mean. Okay, that's it!"

Gao Yuanyuan's elder brother has already entered the robotics business and is very optimistic about this track. Of course, he will not give up halfway.

The reason why he took a tough attitude and helped his sister find a heroine was that he wanted to test Lu Zhiyuan's thoughts.

So far, it's okay.

Since there is no direct denial, it means Gao Yuanyuan still has a chance.

"Brother, how are you?"

Seeing her elder brother hang up the phone, Gao Yuanyuan looked over nervously.

The eldest brother sighed and did not answer immediately. Instead, he said with emotion: "You like to eat noodles with soybean paste and spring rolls, and you want to have a family."

"But obviously, you've found the wrong person again this time."

"He is a man who is not concerned with worldly matters. All he wants is his own art and films."

"Although A-Kun denied it, I know that the person who was yelling on the set, saying that he had to wait for rain and a typhoon, was the director friend you mentioned."

That's a lunatic, sister!
What you want is the mundane world, but what he wants is the sea and the stars.

How do you live together?

You're going to make the same mistake again!

"Sister, what are you doing?"

Before the eldest brother finished speaking, he found that Gao Yuanyuan turned around and left, and her steps were very fast.

"Brother, just treat me as crazy!"

"I'm going to wait for a rain, I'm going to wait for a typhoon, I'm going to meet someone!"

"I know if I don't go, I will regret it forever!"

After saying that, Gao Yuanyuan picked up her bag and hurried away.

She began to calculate silently.

Now it takes about 4 hours to go to the airport and fly to Beihai, and then one hour by boat from Beihai to Weizhou Island.

If everything goes well, I should arrive at Weizhou Island around 5pm.

However, the typhoon is coming soon, and those ships may not go out to sea.

You can only gamble.

I bet that when I arrive, the wind won’t be too strong and shipping won’t stop.

"I hope God will give me some luck!"

……

Weizhou Island.

Around 5pm in the evening.

The crew has been waiting for a whole day.

The wind and waves at the seaside were getting stronger and stronger. I don’t know how many staff members’ baseball caps were blown away by the wind and could never be found again.

Some big trees on the beach were shaking and their branches and leaves were flying everywhere.

The wind was strong enough and the rain began to fall.

But there is always a lack of color in the sky.

The clouds aren't quite thick yet, but they're almost there.

Just waiting for an orange-red sunset.

Without light to set off the scene, it would be nothing.

"Dark clouds, dark clouds, please open the corner a little, just let a little bit of light through."

"Otherwise, our crazy director will make us wait for who knows how long."

The dark clouds like lead ink and the rolling waves in the evening were not the effect Lu Zhiyuan wanted.

If we can’t wait today, it will probably be difficult to wait next time.

He could only take a step back and rely on post-production special effects synthesis.

That feeling is a world away.

At this moment, Lu Zhiyuan chose to trust his intuition.

"All units, get ready. Work will begin in 10 minutes!"

Hearing Lu Zhiyuan's words, the crew members were dumbfounded.

I originally thought that today would end here, because it seemed that I couldn’t wait to get the lighting and shadow effects that Lu Zhiyuan wanted.

"What do you want to see me do?"

"Look at the horizon!"

"Watch out for that dark cloud!"

"It's spinning like crazy. If nothing unexpected happens, a thunderstorm will form inside it, and then there will be heavy rain at sea."

"After the heavy rain, it won't be long before this dark cloud disperses. The cloud layer becomes lighter, blown away by the fierce typhoon, revealing a corner, allowing the sunlight to shine through, revealing an orange-red sky."

"Trust me for once, I'm very experienced in this kind of thing!"

Lu Zhiyuan spoke so seriously that everyone else was a little confused, but they had already come and had been waiting for a whole day.

Waiting another 10 minutes doesn't seem to matter.

Then... let’s get to work!
……

A car with a very cool appearance and a high-tech look suddenly sped up as if being chased by something, and then rushed out of the road.

After several tumbles, it landed on the rocks below the lighthouse. This was the first scene.

After the car rolled over, the safety officer went up to check if there was any risk of explosion and eliminated all potential risks.

After putting on car accident makeup, Reba and Keanu got into the car and started filming the second scene.

The two men looked seriously injured and were pulled out of the car.

Several cyborg villains came up carefully with weapons in hand to check.

At this time, AI Reba was in a car accident, her brain was in hibernation, the AI ​​module was not activated, and her combat effectiveness was almost zero.

"Her module crashed!"

"Do it quickly!"

So, the next second, the camera shot simultaneously from three perspectives: Keanu's perspective, the perspective of a bystander, and the perspective of a high-altitude surveillance drone.

Several cyborgs first took out something like an electric shock gun and hit Reba, causing her to have a burnt smell.

Then, one of them took out a knife, slowly cut open the skin on the back of Reba's neck, and dug out a chip.

The camera gave a close-up of the chip.

There was a string of characters on it, but the close-up shot showed the last two letters.

——【T0】.

Obviously, this is an important mark.

In the midst of the storm, the modified humans shot Reba, who had lost her AI chip, to death, and then tied her to an iron cross rod, preparing to throw her into the sea to destroy her body.

Keanu, the leading actor, was furious with incompetence on the side.

The hatred, doubt, and regret flowing in his eyes were constantly intertwined at this moment.

His acting skills have reached the extreme!

In addition, at this moment, a thunderstorm flashed in the sky not far away.

The white light seemed to ignite the world and also ignite the anger in the character's heart... There seemed to be a sense of divinity hidden in it.

Considering the entire film, this flash of lightning is like the divine fire that ignites the AI ​​chip.

This shot is so great, full of symbolic meaning!

After taking this shot, Lu Zhiyuan was very satisfied!

"Pause!"

"Wait a few more minutes, until the dark clouds disperse and a streak of orange-red light appears on the horizon, then throw the body away!"

Lu Zhiyuan called a halt and allowed other irrelevant people to leave.

Just waiting for the last shot.

The death of ai Reba.

While waiting, Keanu kept lying in the mud.

Because, in the next scene, there will be eight cameras running at the same time.

Keanu had to stay in the frame as an oracle.

His role is indispensable.

There is no doubt about Keanu's professionalism. He was on the cold reef with mud all over his body, but he didn't say any nonsense.

Whatever the director says is what it is.

This is a big scene.

When the movie comes out, it will be absolutely god-like!

Although Keanu was lying on the cold reef, his heart was burning with passion.

Just now, when he saw Reba die, his acting skills exploded.

Anger, confusion, regret...all kinds of emotions intertwined in his eyes.

Coupled with this scene full of fate, at the end of the movie, when all the mysteries are revealed, he will show this complicated look again.

Two looks.

One is the beginning and the other is the end, corresponding to each other.

The oracle was fulfilled in him.

From a certain perspective, he is the Virgin Mary of the AI ​​world!

"Oh, my gosh!"

"The light is coming! It's really coming!"

At this moment, the crew members exclaimed in surprise.

Just as Lu Zhiyuan said, the dark clouds in the sky really dispersed a little, revealing a corner.

The setting sun shines through the corner of the clouds and falls down.

In this world filled with rolling dark clouds, an inexplicable angle was found, emitting an orange-red halo, bringing a touch of warmth to the entire cold and lonely world.

This scene is amazing!
When the crew members saw this scene, they were extremely excited.

The miraculous craftsmanship of nature!

More shocking than any special effects!
"start!"

Lu Zhiyuan gave an order.

In the midst of the storm, at the moment when the setting sun penetrated the dark clouds and shone on the world, there seemed to be light on Reba, who was tied with a cross.

And the next moment, those cyborg actors threw Reba directly off the cliff.

With a splash, water splashed all over the sea.

In the violent storm and the fierce rolling waves, Reba was completely submerged.

And at the moment she fell into the water, the dark clouds rolled violently again, and the orange-red sunlight that flashed by just now was completely submerged by the dark clouds.

The whole world became dark.

A true visual darkness, a dark night of the soul within the film’s plot.

In this moment, perfect interweaving.

"knock off!"

“This is the picture I want!”

“Everyone performed perfectly!”

Eight cameras captured this light and shadow effect at the same time. After Lu Zhiyuan checked it, the relevant editing scenes appeared in his mind.

It won’t shock the world, but it will definitely bring a lot of visual impact to those who watch it.

"I don't know what the director was thinking, but that scene just now really shocked me so much that I was speechless."

The other crew members were also shocked by the natural scene just now.

Combined with the various allegorical narrative shots in this movie, there is no doubt that this scene is a world-famous painting!

Even the crew members themselves were impatient to see the scene after the movie was released.

Not to mention, the ordinary audience.

This movie is going to be a big hit!
"Hurry up and pull our hero up. The sea water is quite cold. Don't let him catch a cold."

In addition to the life jacket, Reba was wearing a safety rope.

The iron rods of the cross tied to her were actually rubber rods painted with metallic paint.

Once it falls into the water, it will float up quickly, which is equivalent to another life jacket.

Although Lu Zhiyuan was very demanding on light and shadow when filming, he achieved the utmost in terms of safety.

Reba was given triple insurance to ensure that nothing could go wrong.

"Director, how was the shoot? Do you want me to be thrown in again?"

After coming out of the sea, Reba saw that everyone had happy faces. She knew she had succeeded, and ran to Lu Zhiyuan regardless of her wet body.

"You did a great job!"

“Exceeded my expectations!”

"Reba, you're awesome!"

Lu Zhiyuan touched Reba's head, feeling that this was not enough to express his happiness, and couldn't help but hug her in his arms.

Although Reba’s acting skills are a little lacking, she is really obedient, willing to learn, smart, and super well-behaved.

The most important thing is that Reba is strong and rarely gets sick.

Don't delay anything.

"Let's go back to the hotel."

After hugging for a while, Lu Zhiyuan and Reba separated.

He called out to the others, "Tonight, let's have a celebration banquet! Order whatever you want!"

This scene is the most difficult one to shoot in the entire movie!
It’s definitely a historic scene!
After filming this scene, the rest were all insignificant little scenes.

……

Beihai Wharf.

Gao Yuanyuan was sitting alone in the lounge at the ferry terminal.

"Why are you still here?"

"Didn't I tell you that the ferry won't go out to sea during a typhoon?"

Gao Yuanyuan was wearing big sunglasses and a mask, and the staff didn't recognize her and didn't know she was a female star.

I just feel that Gao Yuanyuan is a little weird.

On a typhoon day, she wants to take a ferry to Weizhou Island?

It's really baffling.

……

Weizhou Island.

Inside the resort hotel.

The crew's celebration party is in full swing.

Seeing that Lu Zhiyuan was a little drunk, Reba went up to him with a smile: "Brother Ayuan, can I ask you for a favor?"

"You tell me! I'll promise you whatever it is."

Reba performed so well today that Lu Zhiyuan was able to take pictures of world-famous paintings.

"My real name is Dilireba. Everyone calls me Reba for convenience. I call you Brother Ayuan, but it's too troublesome to call you four characters. Can I call you..."

Before Reba finished speaking, Lu Zhiyuan smiled and nodded in agreement: "No problem, just call me Ayuan! I don't mind that."

Who wants to call you Ayuan?

What I want to call is - Brother!
