Chapter 363 Want to make a 3 billion box office movie?
Reporters from other media outlets asked other questions.
"Mr. Li Yi, with this "Train to Busan", do you plan to establish the Mount Everest of domestic disaster themes?"
Li Yi laughed and said: "It doesn't matter whether it's a masterpiece or not. The main thing is that I want to make this movie and show it to everyone."
Not long after, due to time constraints, the launch conference ended.
After a short preparation, everyone got into the mood.
"Train to Busan" is officially launched!
At the beginning of the movie, a bit actor was driving a car on the road and accidentally hit a young elk.
The uncle looked at the blood on the ground and thought that the little elk had died tragically, so he drove away.
But not long after, the little elk climbed up from the ground, as if he had come back to life!
What makes people feel even more horrified is that its eyes turned upward and the eyeballs were gone!
It was Li Yi's first time filming a movie with such a theme, so he had to be a little cautious.
It took him nearly four takes to get the first shot alone.
Zhang Tianai saw that he was frowning and looking a little nervous the whole time, so he comforted him: "Brother Yi, don't be anxious, we will film the scene bit by bit."
Li Yi nodded.
In fact, he is very confident about his own and other people's acting skills, but he is still a little worried about his own shooting techniques.
After all, I don’t have a professional background. At best, I just listened to the directors’ specific ideas when I was acting.
After this simple scene was filmed, it was Li Yi's turn to appear.
The protagonist Shi Yu, played by Li Yi, is just as the script says, a selfish financial manager. Their company saved a biotechnology company on the verge of bankruptcy through stock operations.
However, a virus developed by this company was leaked at sea, causing infected people or animals to become zombies that bite everyone they see.
In the end, the bitten person will also turn into a zombie.
Li Yi, on the other hand, wants to take her daughter Xiu An to her mother's place to give Xiu An a good birthday.
All the stories seem so ordinary.
But just before the train was about to depart, an infected girl rushed into the train...
The previous scenes tended to be more routine, and Li Yi and others were progressing very quickly.
It only took four days to film the scene where the zombies appeared.
Before filming on the fifth day, Li Yi first gathered the passenger actors on the train, and then said: "Maybe the supporting actors this time are not like other scenes you have shot before, where they just put on their clothes and shoot, right? Ours
The extras in the play are mainly zombies, so I asked the dance teacher to teach you for more than a month."
"I will pay your wages for more than a month, and I have seen your acting skills before and they have been greatly improved. So let's start the highlight of this movie!"
As soon as Li Yi finished speaking, everyone applauded.
Indeed, as extras, most of the time they just find a random crew, wear costumes, and play the part of the masses.
But this time they followed the crew of "Train to Busan" for a month in advance to learn how to perfect the zombie's shape and bite posture.
Not only that, the crew also gave them double salaries so that they could practice with peace of mind.
As the saying goes, it takes a thousand days to raise an army, but it takes only a moment to use it. Today, they will use their acting skills to repay the crew.
The keeper took the slate and said immediately: "Act 3 of Game 8, begin!"
"Sorry." At this time, the voice of a middle-aged man sitting in the front row near the door attracted the attention of the passengers.
The passenger just passed by and heard the middle-aged man's voice, so he quickly asked politely: "Hello, sir, what's the matter?"
"It's like this. I saw a strange person. He entered the toilet here and has been there for more than half an hour."
The middle-aged man named Jin is an agent. He is cautious and selfish. He will continue to harm the people around him for his own benefit in the following plot.
When the conductor opened the toilet, he found a beggar hiding inside, so he tried to persuade him not to stay in the toilet.
But the beggar didn't listen to anything, and kept muttering: "Dead, everyone is dead, dead, dead."
Executive Jin looked down on those poor people, so he used beggars as a negative example and told Xiu An: "You must study hard, otherwise you will become like him in the future."
Li Yi's daughter Xiu'an frowned and said, "My mother said that people who say such things are bad people."
Xiu'an's words made Executive Jin a little embarrassed, so he had to touch her head: "Then your mother must be uneducated."
The train was still running, but the infected girl hiding in the carriage finally couldn't hold on any longer.
She eventually fell to the ground.
When a female flight attendant saw it, she immediately became concerned and understood the situation.
But not long after, the infected girl came back to life and bit the female flight attendant's neck like crazy!
"Ahhhhh!!!"
A shout echoed throughout the train.
Li Yi looked at the monitor and shouted: "Click!"
Because they were filming in a train carriage, the space was relatively small, so when everyone was filming such a horror-themed plot, it was inevitable that they would feel a little nervous.
So when Li Yi shouted "Click", many people didn't react yet and were still immersed in the plot.
Zhang Tianai was very nervous because it was her turn to appear in the next scene.
This time she is not starring opposite Li Yi, but playing the role of Sung Kyung, the wife of Korean actor Ma Dong-seok.
In the next episode, the two of them will play a storyline where they encounter zombies and desperately escape.
It was the first time that Zhang Tianai played a pregnant woman and she was very nervous.
She had to show the pregnant woman's anxious state of running away, but she couldn't help herself.
Seeing her sad face, Li Yi comforted her and said, "Don't worry, don't be nervous. I trust your acting skills."
Zhang Tianai nodded, "I'm a little worried about playing with Brother Ma."
"Brother Dongxi has a lot of experience and he will cooperate with you." Li Yi explained.
After resting for about half an hour, Li Yi picked up the loudspeaker and shouted: "Okay, let's hurry up and shoot the next scene!"
"Scene 4, Act 1, begin!"
In the carriage where the accident occurred, many people had been bitten and infected by zombies, and they became sick and ran towards the healthy passengers.
Ma Dongxi is waiting in the toilet at this time, and his wife Zhang Tianai is inside.
Not long after, he gradually realized something was wrong. He saw Li Yi holding the child and running desperately towards him.
Behind Li Yi there is a group of people chasing him like crazy!
None of these people look normal.
A traveler was running when the zombie behind him pounced on him with a bloody mouth!
The passenger subconsciously took his hand back, but the blood flowed extremely fast.
Although it didn't bite his palm, it also bit the watch on his wrist.
The zombie scoffed without stopping at all, and the wristband of the watch was bitten off.
The watch was bitten into the bloody mouth by a zombie, and it was chewed into pieces within a few seconds, leaving nothing behind.
Ma Dongxi finally realized what he was doing and ran away with his wife while fending off those crazy people.
Li Yi had already taken Xiu An to another carriage and found the door switch.
He saw the pregnant woman and Ma Dongxi running over not far away, and Li Yi closed the door cruelly.
"No, no, it can't be like this, open the door quickly!" The pregnant woman played by Zhang Tianai is very real. She is holding her belly while running, and her expression shows anxiety.
She didn't expect Li Yi to actually close the door, so she yelled in horror.
Ma Dongxi punched the zombies who followed him to the ground and ran towards the carriage.
Li Yi was struggling. He didn't know whether to open the door or not.
Finally, just before the pregnant woman arrived, he opened the door and let the two of them in.
This scene was filmed for half an hour in one go, without any pause!
After the photo was taken, everyone's foreheads were covered with beads of sweat.
So scary!
This depressing and terrifying atmosphere makes people breathless!
Li Yi didn't even activate the terrifying human heart skill, but he already felt like he was on the scene. If he wasn't careful, he might fall into the mouths of those zombies.
Just like that, the week of shooting finally came to an end.
Li Yi gave the crew a day off to let everyone have a good rest.
Taking advantage of the break, Li Yi went back home.
These days, he stays in hotels arranged by the crew for the convenience of filming.
He doesn't go home to lie on the sofa and play with his phone, but to go home for a mission.
He came to the bedroom and opened "How the Best Actor Was Made".
I saw that the latest page already had a mission introduction.
[Mission accomplished: Director and participant in this film! Line ability +10, facial expression +3, action image +6... Based on the above scores, the average score has reached 75 points, please continue to work hard!
Reward: Obtain the "The Birth of an Actor" variety show script. To unlock the next page, you must own a movie with a box office of more than 3 billion.
Reward introduction: The program "The Birth of an Actor" takes acting as the perspective and builds a real platform for capable ordinary actors and dream chasers to compete face-to-face with industry giants. The purpose is to rectify the name of the actor profession and tell the public what acting is really like.
What’s the matter, what does it mean to be good at acting? How can you be good at acting?】
Li Yi looked at the latest page and sighed for a while.
Now the task is getting more and more difficult. If you unlock the next page, you will have a movie with a box office of more than 3 billion!
At present, movies with a box office of more than 3 billion in the entire domestic market are very rare!
So Li Yi can only rely on "Train to Busan" to break this record.
Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to break this box office record.
What surprised him the most was that the reward for this mission turned out to be a variety show.
It's called "The Birth of an Actor"!
He looked at the script of this show and found it very interesting.
The program is divided into five stages: challenge, mentor group competition, mentor team battle, twelve promotions and six singles competition, and the finals.
Actors are challenged to cooperate in performing the same play for acting PK, and the winner is promoted. The promoted actor enters the film and television shooting and chooses to PK a mentor. If the PK mentor succeeds, he will directly enter the mentor team, but if he fails, he will enter the next stage.
Mentor group competition.
This competition mode makes Li Yi excited.
"But...who will buy the copyright of my variety show?" Li Yi was thinking about this problem while calling Director Jiang of Mango Channel...
