On the afternoon of the 7th, many online media, including the four major portals, published information about the official launch of "Moon".
Li Qian has also officially begun to enjoy the treatment of a director in the Billion Dollar Box Office Club, and his new films attract the attention of many media and audiences all the time.
Not to mention that the movie "Moon" itself is highly topical, from the subject matter to the director, and there is only one actor.
"Director Li Qian's new film "Moon" held a launch conference at the Huairou Film and Television Base this morning. The film has been confirmed to be a science fiction theme!"
"A true science fiction film, "Moon" stages space travel!"
"From comedy to science fiction, can Huang Bo complete the transformation from a small person to an astronaut?"
"What story does "Moon" tell about an actor's science fiction film?"
"A science fiction movie with a cost of 30 million, how good is the science fiction film "Moon"?"
...
Low cost, science fiction film, one actor, director with a box office of 100 million yuan...
All factors combined, even the news about the launch of "Moon" is not lower than that of "The King of Kung Fu" which is currently in theaters.
However, to say it is a hit is a bit too much. Yesterday, the box office of "The King of Kung Fu" was only about 2 million in a single day. This drop is worse than jumping off a cliff.
80 million in four days in the first week, only 57 million in seven days in the second week, and an estimated 20 million this week is enough. Even starting from this Monday, the box office has been underwhelmed by "Iron Man".
Now the Internet is full of complaints, from the director to the actors.
Moreover, as a well-known actor of Monkey King, Teacher Six was also interviewed by the media.
When asked what he thought of the "Kung Fu King" movie, Teacher Liu said it was pretty good.
When asked what he thought of the Sun Wukong played by Li Lianjie, Teacher Liu said at the time that he couldn't comment on it.
However, I would like to add that if you want to play Sun Wukong well, you should first consult a real monkey.
As a result, when the news came out the next day, it turned out that Teacher Six asked Li Lianjie to raise a monkey.
This was good. When reporters tried to stop him again the next day, Teacher Six put on a mask and said nothing.
However, the movie is really bad. Even if the news was compiled by the media, except for Jet Li's fans, netizens did not say anything bad about Teacher Six. At most, they just made fun of him.
There are no other heavyweight movies in May. "Moon" has attracted widespread attention when news of its registration was announced. Now that it has officially started shooting, fans are also talking about it.
"I'll go, you turned on the phone so quickly, how long has it been?"
"It's so fast. It's been three months, and quick shooter Li Qian is getting rusty!"
"Damn it, it's really a science fiction movie!"
"Save it, I haven't seen an investment of 30 million, just an actor, making a sci-fi movie about Hammer."
"What's wrong with the low investment? An actor must be the leading actor, not without supporting roles!"
"You shouldn't lie. I said it was a real science fiction film. I won't scold him to death."
"You should be right when you look at the poster. The background is obviously on the moon, and he is wearing a spacesuit."
"For a one-person movie, could it be that the spaceship had an accident and everyone else died, leaving the protagonist alone?"
"It's very possible. Doesn't it look like two cars collided on the poster? The man is holding an astronaut in his hand. It's probably some kind of disaster that happened on the moon."
"What kind of vehicles are those two vehicles? The smaller one is probably a lunar rover. Judging from the height comparison of people, the other one is at least ten meters tall."
"It doesn't matter what kind of car it is, could it be that this movie is about an astronaut having an accident on the moon, and then only the protagonist dies?"
"Isn't this the lunar version of "Cast Away"!"
"Awesome, there is actually a big boss who has guessed the plot, this is what it should be!"
"But "Cast Away" is on an island after all. There is no food, no water, not even oxygen on the moon. Please give me a damn life!"
.......
There are still a lot of talents among netizens. They actually figured it out by just relying on a movie title + poster + only one actor.
but.
"A few random guesses."
Early in the morning on the 8th, Li Qian got up and read the news, and couldn't help but admire their ability to make up their minds.
I casually browsed through various forums and film-related forums. It attracted a lot of attention and could stay popular for a while.
That's enough. Make some noise from time to time so that the audience can't forget about him.
Li Qian doesn't have time to pay attention to other news. The main entertainment news now is "The King of Kung Fu" and the upcoming Olympic Games.
"The King of Kung Fu" got a buzz a few days ago because of Teacher Six's interview, but that's all. The box office is estimated to be less than 200 million.
However, Teacher Six’s Sun Wukong image is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Whenever a new Sun Wukong appears, reporters will always go to interview him.
Neon has filmed "Journey to the West", and even Mi Lijian filmed one in 2001, in which Guanyin fell in love with Tang Monk.
There are several movies adapted from "Journey to the West" in my memory. It is estimated that after it is filmed, Teacher Six will be harassed by the media.
Apart from "The King of Kung Fu", the most important entertainment news is the upcoming Olympic Games in August. This is a grand event celebrated by the whole country. As the time approaches, the atmosphere becomes more and more exciting.
After casually flipping through the news, Li Qian rushed to the set to continue filming "Moon".
Yesterday afternoon was the first day of filming. Four scenes were shot, but they were all insignificant scenes.
In the studio, everyone on the crew was already preparing for a new day of shooting. The 1,800-square-meter studio was divided into several small studios, corresponding to each indoor scene in the movie.
The scenes on the lunar surface in the movie are still under construction in another 1,500-square-meter studio.
Basically 90% of the scenes were shot in these two studios, and there were also some scattered scenes.
After walking around to the studio, there was a slightly smaller studio with just over 100 square meters inside. Inside was the staff restaurant and lounge of the lunar base.
Huang Bo had already put on his makeup and was sitting on the massage chair, flipping through his script, while the focus puller was repeatedly measuring the focus with a tape measure.
The lighting master was also measuring the light. The lighting team leader stood next to Huang Bo and controlled various factors according to his movements and directions in the play, as well as the lighting in the room above his head, the distance and angle in front of the camera, and various factors.
Brightness and light ratio.
In fact, in film movies, sometimes the lighting is more involved than the actors.
Because they will experience all the actors' performances, body movements, and traveling routes several times in advance so that they can accurately control the light.
The focus puller's two-inch camera can only see the performance and composition, and cannot help him at all. The lighting is also the only blind person on the crew.
The actor's performance can be basically seen from the focus puller's camera to the monitor. The photographer himself can see the effect intuitively. Only the lighting engineer relies on experience, feeling and trial and error, and his eyesight goes dark.
Dry.
As for executive director Su Lun, it seems that he has become a soy saucer. He basically does not need to arrange a one-man show. He just watches from the side and communicates with the art director, photographer, and actors.
Seeing Li Qian coming, Su Lun quickly stepped forward and reported on the preparations for this morning.
Filming a one-man show is both difficult and difficult, but overall it was relatively easy for the crew.
A quarter of an hour later, the crew was ready and Huang Bo began his audition.
In this scene, Huang Bo was watching TV in the rest area while carving a small bungalow, preparing to go back and make a gift for his daughter.
After giving it a try, the official shooting started.
Li Qian sat in front of the monitor, picked up the walkie-talkie, and said, "Let's get started."
After receiving the order, Su Lun quickly raised the loudspeaker and loudly said, "Everyone exit the performance area and listen to the sound on the spot."
The master is in place.
Su Lun: "Turn on the phone!"
Zhang Zhonghua turned on the camera, and the second assistant next to him quickly responded: "Record!"
The recorder rushed to the camera and said, "Scene 9, one shot at a time!"
The focus puller focuses on the slate.
The scorer hit the board and ran away quickly.
The focus puller readjusted the focus and focused on Huang Bo.
After a set of procedures was completed, Su Lun loudly announced: "Start!"
Li Qian just sat quietly in front of the monitor, and the director would shout "click". Even if there were any obvious problems that could be seen with the naked eye, the executive director would stop midway.
Although it's blurry on the monitor, the actors' performance and composition can still be seen.
Huang Bo was wearing engraving glasses and was sitting on a massage chair. He was carving the small house in his hand with a serious look on his face. He was also very calm and steady as he cut with his right hand holding the knife.
Li Qian's "Frequency of Life and Death" is playing on the fifty-inch monitor in front of him. Occasionally, when he hears some exciting clips, Huang Bo will raise his head to take a look, and then continue to sculpt the small house.
Advertise yourself and feel at ease.
Communications on the moon are blocked, and Huang Bo can only see videos of his family sent from the earth, or watch movies and TV series downloaded in advance, various competitions, etc.
"Okay, click."
After finishing one shot, Li Qian called to stop.
He said to the intercom, "Brother Bo, you are taking it too seriously. Just relax a little and just eat and read like you normally do."
"I have been on the moon for three years. You have repeated these things countless times. Don't keep staring at your hands when carving. Spend more time looking at the screen than looking at the wooden house in your hands. Do the opposite of what you are doing now."
After three years of being alone on the moon, it can be said that there is nothing new anymore. No matter what you do, you should do it as if you were at home, and do what you do casually.
Huang Bo nodded quickly to indicate that he understood. It was his first time filming a new type, and it was different from all the previous roles. The acting was still a bit unnatural.
If you have enough time, if you do a one-man show, you will definitely use less film than in "Frequency of Life and Death", so there is enough room for error.
Starting from the second time, I have to say that given Huang Bo's conditions, he can become an actor and his acting talent is really extraordinary.
Moreover, I have traveled all over the world, formed my own band, opened a factory, worked as a boss, and also experienced bankruptcy.
Having a lot of life experience, most of the time, is good for performance.
This time Huang Bo fully met Li Qian's requirements, as if he was watching a movie and sending messages to others on his mobile phone.
Everyone is familiar with the keystrokes of mobile phones. You can type with your eyes closed. At most, you can glance down after typing a sentence.
He is relaxed and leisurely. When he puts on his glasses, he looks a bit like a professional carving master.
But the work at hand had to be filmed separately.
In the scene below, Clone No. 5 goes to the bar to pour water. Because of being alone for a long time, he sometimes suddenly falls into a daze and has hallucinations.
While pouring water, I suddenly saw my wife sitting at the dinner table. I lost my virginity and burned my hands.
These are all ordinary shots. As long as Huang Bo's mentality is in place, there will be no problem. After all, these are all things he has experienced in daily life.
These shots are relatively smooth and can usually be passed in three passes.
In the afternoon, another actress joined the crew.
"Director Li, I'm not late, am I?"
Liu Tao was brought in by the workers and looked around with a smile.
"No, Sister Tao came just in time."
Li Qian smiled and said hello, "Did your trip to the United States go well?"
For the role of wife, Li Qian invited Liu Tao to guest star. She couldn't be more suitable for the role of a good wife and loving mother.
On the distant earth, there is such a beautiful and gentle wife waiting for him, which is also the motivation to support the male protagonist to work seriously.
"It's not bad. I went to Staples to watch a football game and had enough rest."
Although Liu Tao, who married into a wealthy family, no longer focuses on acting, he will still take some roles. It would be boring if he didn't do anything.
After handing the bag to the assistant, Liu Tao started working directly.
Li Qian looked at the time and said, "Sister Tao, how about you have a meal first?"
After all, he is a fellow countryman, and he is older than Li Qian. He comes to help out, so he still needs to take care of him.
Liu Tao smiled and said, "No, just finish work and eat together later. I'm also trying to lose weight."
Then, Li Qian asked her and the makeup artist to touch up her makeup.
Just do it casually, just a two-second shot, which is the shot where Clone No. 5 had a hallucination and saw his wife sitting at the dinner table.
You don't have to do anything, just sit there and pass by.
Liu Tao didn't have many scenes, but the guest appearance was filmed in one go, so he didn't have to run around again and again.
In other words, it was the scene of the video that was recorded for the clones, and Su Lun would be asked to go to the digital camera to shoot it at other filming locations later.
Apart from that, the highlight is the sex scene.
Clones also have physiological needs. For three years, I miss my wife and always have indescribable dreams.
An occasional sex scene can also reveal the longing for his wife and family more deeply.
Move to another studio and start filming the sex scene.
But there are only some scenes of hugging and caressing, and that’s just the upper body. No matter how much more is filmed, it won’t be released.
After debuting for so many years, Liu Tao has not never filmed sex scenes, where he took off his jacket generously and exposed the underwear underneath.
Huang Bo was a little nervous. He had never filmed a sex scene before, and he was still facing such a beautiful woman.
The sex scene was shot on the second day after filming started...
Huang Bo quickly shook off the disharmonious things in his mind, and coquettishly took off his hundreds of millions.
Li Qian had never filmed a sex scene and had no experience. He didn't know how to give guidance. He didn't know what to do for a while.
After thinking about it for a while, he finally said, "How about we stop auditioning and just shoot."
Just waste the electrofilm. I've tried it over and over again, but it's not good either.
Sex play is a matter of instinct between men and women. Let it be used freely. Anyway, it’s just touching.
Huang Bo and Liu Tao didn't even have a room, so they went to bed facing each other.
However, after Li Qian looked at Liu Tao, he thought about it, called her over, and asked her in a low voice.
"Sister Tao, do you have any front-opening underwear?"
Li Qian was a little embarrassed when he said this, but he was still serious. This was all for the sake of shooting effect.
Liu Tao was stunned for a moment, and even though he was married, he couldn't help but blush.
Afraid of being misunderstood, Li Qian quickly said, "Um, I worked in a photography studio and photographed many sales shows of Dabao underwear stores. I know a little bit about the front-open style..."
I thought about my wording.
"The front-opening one looks better, so if it's convenient..."
I have filmed TV commercials for shaping underwear and various underwear seller shows. After filming many times, Li Qian has a general understanding of various styles and colors.
The front-opening type has a better gathering effect, and the photos are naturally more seductive.
If you want to take pictures, take them well.
The more beautiful the wife is and the better her figure is, the more people will miss her if she stays on the moon to work.
Moreover, after the truth is revealed, this wife is not actually his wife, but is a transplanted memory. The contrast, including the audience, will feel so pitiful and tragic.
Such a beautiful wife is not herself in the end.
If you work as someone else, you will have to die after three years of work, but the wife and children you miss every day are still someone else's.
How miserable, even worse than being a cuckold!
Liu Tao looked at Li Qian with a half-smile, but he didn't expect that this little fellow knew so much about women's underwear at such a young age.
But there’s nothing to be embarrassed about. Sometimes you have to show off your figure when taking photos for magazines.
