During the filming of "Source Code", one of the special effects involved was the big explosion.
This Li Yi doesn't intend to really explode like Explosion Mania, but will adopt the same method as the original director, using model explosions and green screens and finally using computers to synthesize it.
This technology can be said to be very mature for today, and there is no technical difficulty.
As for the rental of the train, we have already said hello and negotiated.
The filming will be done on a train.
It can be said that everything is ready except for the east wind. As for the male lead, although Li Yi has been adapted locally, the setting is still that of a soldier, so Lin Yunbin was finally chosen to play this role.
The other roles are all high-quality and low-priced acting talents.
In fact, in terms of the original version of "Source Code", if you say it is a small cost, it is only for a large-scale Hollywood science fiction production, more than 30 million U.S. dollars. In fact, if converted into Chinese dollars, it is definitely not a small number.
But this cannot be compared. First of all, in terms of expenses, whether it is labor or other expenses for domestic shooting, we all use Chinese dollars to settle the expenses.
And the so-called more than 30 million US dollars is not only the production cost, but also includes some other costs.
For Li Yi, he will also control the cost of "Source Code" to a certain extent this time. After all, he wants to give everyone a sample.
In fact, the localization adaptation of "Source Code" is not that complicated.
First of all, there is the issue of the profession of the protagonist. In the original version, he was a soldier who died on the battlefield, but here Li Yi changed it to an armed policeman.
The changes in other aspects are not major. Of course, many lines and the like also need to be changed.
As for cities, Li Yi actually had a headache at first. After all, with the situation in China, you can't really blow up a city directly, right?
Not even in movies.
At first, Li Yi wanted to make up a city, but he didn't expect that Zhonghai City actually agreed. Of course, it was probably because of Li Yi's name and the fact that in Li Yi's movies, it was just a train explosion, not that kind of thing.
The apocalyptic disaster will destroy the entire Zhonghai!
Soon, "Source Code" completed its preliminary preparations and was officially launched.
The first scene is the first eight-minute scene!
The difficulty of this scene is how to show the feeling of appearing in a strange environment while taking into account one's own identity.
"Every department is in its place!"
This scene was shot inside a train carriage.
The trains used were refurbished old trains that were rented.
"Lights ready!"
“Photography ready!”
"..."
"The first scene of "Source Code", the first shot, the first time, ACTION!"
As the sound of typing fell, "Source Code" was officially launched.
The male protagonist played by Lin Yunbin pressed his head against the glass window of the car and suddenly opened his eyes.
Li Yi sat behind the monitor and watched.
His eyes rolled and he suddenly woke up.
Then look outside...
"CUT!" Li Yi frowned and shouted stop!
"Yunbin, come here and take a look!" Li Yi called Lin Yunbin over directly.
Lin Yunbin came over and watched the playback of the scene just taken.
"Here, you just woke up and need to adapt. Although your eyes have changed, in addition to being alert, you are less confused than when you just woke up!"
"There is also the back. The sight here is not only blank, but also less vigilant.
You have to know that your identity is a soldier, and you have come down from the battlefield. The moment you wake up, you must be on the highest alert as soon as possible!" Li Yi said.
Lin Yunbin thought for a while and nodded.
"I understand, here's another one!"
"Every department is in its place, let's do another one!"
Soon, the second shooting began.
This time, Lin Yunbin did everything from the beginning to the first person he saw, which made Li Yi very satisfied.
Li Yi did not completely follow the original version here. After all, it was adapted locally, so some changes in the dialogue and so on were also required!
"GOOD! Very good! This one passed!"
After that, we filmed it twice more, and finally passed the first scene.
In fact, the most difficult part for actors in "Source Code" is the first eight minutes.
Because here, he didn't know where he was or why he was here. It could be said that he didn't know anything.
This scene is a great test of the actor's acting skills.
The shooting started to get better after that.
Li Yi always shoots movies very quickly, and this time is no exception. Of course, it has a lot to do with the very skilled operation of the crew. After all, they have been working together for a long time, so there is still a tacit understanding.
After more than two months, "Source Code" was announced to be finalized.
And the special effects have also been completed!
Li Yi immediately entered the post-editing work.
...
"Source Code" successfully completed!
Both inside and outside the film industry are paying close attention to this movie because it is another model film by Li Yi.
The original "Moon" actually had some replicability, but it was still too single.
But Li Yi's "Source Code" cycle story has inspired many people.
Of course, similarly, they cannot start operations immediately. We definitely need to see whether Li Yi, the instigator, can continue to succeed.
China Overseas International Studios.
"Source Code" holds its first in-house screening here!
In addition to those film critics who have collaborated with Li Yi frequently and several large media outlets, there were also science fiction directors, young directors and screenwriters in the industry.
At the beginning of the movie, Lin Yunbin suddenly woke up on the train. He didn't know where he was or why he was here.
In the first eight minutes, it can be said that there may not be many clues revealed about the plot of the entire movie, but for the movie-watching experience, the first eight minutes are very critical.
Because the suspense starts from here!
When Lin Yunbin was observing the surrounding environment and was extremely vigilant, the girl opposite suddenly said as if she was very familiar with him: "Thank you for your suggestion. Maybe I have already made a decision, but I have been hesitating! Anyway, thank you.
you!"
But Lin Yunbin didn't know where he was at this moment, why he was here, and he didn't know the woman opposite him at all.
His face looked a little ugly.
The woman opposite saw this and asked with concern: "You don't look good, are you okay?"
The camera showed a man in the back seat opening a can.
There was nothing wrong with this voice, but for Lin Yunbin, who was always vigilant, he immediately looked over with vigilance.
"Li Zheng?" The girl opposite saw Lin Yunbin's weird behavior and couldn't help calling his name.
At this time, someone passed by and spilled a little coffee on his shoes.
"Li Zheng? Are you okay?"
This paragraph also surprised many people at the scene, and naturally they couldn't help but wonder, what's going on?
"You're right. The constant interruptions only led to chaos. He kept calling me, and the number of calls now is even more than before we broke up. It's really ironic!" the woman said.
But Lin Yunbin didn't listen to what she was talking about. He didn't care at all. He looked around. At this moment, he still didn't understand why he was here.
At this time, there are ticket inspectors checking tickets.
But at this moment, Lin Yunbin was completely unaware that he had a ticket on him. The girl opposite pointed to his breast pocket and took out a ticket from it.
"Are you okay? Why have you been a little distracted all morning..."
But he still didn't listen to what she said, but looked at it with the ticket.
At this time, another passenger suddenly asked: "It's ten minutes late. Can I catch it up?"
"Feel sorry......"
Seeing that Lin Yunbin had been ignoring him, the woman couldn't help but wonder: "Did I do something?"
Lin Yunbin finally came to his senses. He looked at the woman and said, "Sorry, do we know each other? You seem to know me, but I really don't know you!"
"My name is Lin Yunbin, not Li Zheng. Are you sure you got the right person?" Lin Yunbin looked at her and asked.
The woman looked at his serious look and couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Li Zheng, can't you tell, you are quite humorous!"
"Li Zheng?"
Seeing that the woman didn't seem to be joking, he became more and more confused. He desperately wanted to find out what was going on.
He got up and said he wanted to go to the restroom. When he passed by the train aisle, he looked at the scenes that happened, but the doubts in his heart not only did not diminish at all, but instead became more doubtful.
At this time, the train happened to arrive at the station.
A person from behind suddenly shouted: "Hey, wait a minute!"
He thought he was calling him and turned his head, but the other person passed him by. It turned out that the other person was calling the person in front of him.
The person who was about to get off the bus in front pulled down his wallet, and the other person went to hand it back to him.
Lin Yunbin walked out of the car door and looked at this strange place, still confused.
At this time, the young man who picked up the wallet and handed it back to the other party got out of the car. He quickly grabbed the other person and asked, "Where is this?"
"Didn't you listen to the radio? This is Zhonghai!"
The announcement sounds, the train is about to start, let the passengers get on the train as soon as possible.
The train started and he returned to the car, still looking at the scene outside the window.
At this time, the woman opposite asked with a little joking: "Are you okay? Mr. Lin Yunbin?"
But Lin Yunbin didn't respond. Suddenly, the scenery outside the car window kept passing by, and sometimes reflections appeared on it.
But the speed was too fast, and everything passed by in a flash, but Lin Yunbin discovered a terrifying thing.
That is the person reflected in the car window, it seems, it seems to be another person!
"Did you see that?" He couldn't help but look at the woman opposite and asked.
The woman thought Lin Yunbin was joking with her again, but she didn't know what he was asking and just shook her head.
"You really scared me, are you sure you're okay?" the woman said.
He couldn't bear it any longer. He wanted to figure out what was going on, so he stood up suddenly and went to the train bathroom.
Close the bathroom door.
However, the person he saw in the mirror was not himself at all!
This discovery made him completely stupid. He even thought that he had a mental problem or was too tired and was hallucinating.
He took out his wallet and found his ID card inside.
The name of the person on the ID card is indeed Li Zheng, and the photo is not of him at all!
When he came to the mirror again, he finally confirmed one thing.
The person in the mirror is not myself!
He looked at the strange man in the mirror with a look of disbelief and astonishment.
But he still couldn't believe it.
He suddenly opened the bathroom door, and just in time, the woman sitting opposite him outside, who seemed to know him, no, she knew Li Zheng, was looking at him with a worried look.
"Are you okay?" she asked with concern.
"I don't know what's going on!"
"Li Zheng, tell me!"
"I...have you read the novel? I mean the kind of online novel!" He suddenly asked.
"Internet novel?"
"I've seen it, what are you referring to?"
"Like soul travel?"
"???"
"Seriously, I'm not Li Zheng, and I don't know you either! But... I don't know what to say."
The more he explained, the more confused the other party became, but Lin Yunbin suddenly felt that his idea was too outrageous!
But the woman opposite obviously didn't believe such a ridiculous thing.
"Okay, let's get off at the next stop and just pretend that nothing happened, okay?"
"How can I tell you so that you understand? I'm not Li Zheng! I don't know you!"
"Everything will be fine! It's okay!" the woman tried to comfort him.
But at this moment, there was a sudden loud noise, and the train exploded violently. The flames engulfed them and the entire carriage, and continued to spread rapidly forward.
Just at this time, another train came from the opposite direction in parallel, and was also hit by the explosion.
The screen instantly fell into darkness.
Suddenly, in the darkness, there was a blue dot, expanding and expanding like a bubble, and some scenes appeared inside.
It turns out these are his eyes.
Lin Yunbin suddenly opened his eyes.
But his whole body was upside down!
He was alert, he was confused, he didn't know what was happening, and he also didn't know where he was.
"Captain Lin Yunbin, this is a besieged city!"
The voice kept repeating.
"Where am I?" he asked with some confusion.
"You are in the siege, are you okay?" the voice said.
"I'm a little dizzy. Am I locked?" he felt for a while and said.
"Now adjust your orientation!"
Soon his whole body spun back.
"Can you report now?" the voice asked again.
Lin Yunbin immediately wanted to remove the locks on his body, but he had no way of doing it.
"Who are you? Am I following you?"
"Captain, please describe what you saw and heard just now!" The voice said again.
Lin Yunbin had an even worse headache and said with a painful expression on his face: "I don't understand what you are talking about at all!"
"Talk to me!" He put his head around to find who was talking to him, but the dazzling light made it impossible for him to see anything clearly.
