On May 20, Li Qian got up early, jogged in the community for an hour, and brought breakfast along the way.
After taking a shower, eating breakfast, and turning on the computer.
Reading various news online every day has been a habit that Li Qian has maintained for more than a year.
There is no new news. Guo Deguang was pulled out to be whipped again. On March 15th, in the March 15 party program, it was revealed that the cost of the slimming tea he endorsed was only 6 yuan, but the external price was 29 yuan. I
The endorsement value is as high as 2 million.
The products were removed from the shelves and the advertisements were stopped. He himself did not apologize. He only apologized after CCTV and the Industry and Commerce Department apologized. He was scolded on and off for two months.
Xiao Tingfeng's wife Zhang Bozhi was photographed with a growing belly, and the media speculated on the date of delivery.
There is no new news, but Xia Yu and Yuan Quan were photographed holding hands. The golden couple seemed to be showing signs of rekindling their old love. Coupled with Gao Yuanyuan, this love triangle was created.
After reading the news, I checked my mailbox and found the data from Galaxy Video.
"Sniper Phone Booth" had 176,000 effective clicks yesterday and a box office of 880,000, bringing the total box office to 12.42 million.
Although the box office is declining day by day, according to the situation, it is very promising to exceed 15 million.
However, Li Qian doesn't care about the box office anymore. This number is far higher than Li Qian's original expectation. It should be as much as it can be. It's enough to make a low-cost theater movie.
After resting for such a long time, I went out to get some fresh air yesterday. I had a meal and chatted with Tong Liya. It was quite pleasant and it changed my mood.
Now it’s time to start the next phase of work, which will take another busy month.
After looking at the time, it was already half past eight, so Li Qian turned off the computer, picked up a document on the table, and went out.
When they arrived at the studio, Qi Yukun, Guo Fan, Zhang Zhonghua, Gao Yang, and Wang Lu were already waiting.
"Good morning everyone."
"Director Li, it's early."
"Okay, everyone, sit down and I will arrange the next work."
Li Qian didn't waste any time and went straight to the point, "The script and storyboards haven't been released yet. Let's prepare the equipment, venue, and crew first."
Qi Yukun said curiously, "Director Li, please show us the story first."
The story that Li Qian passed before was so creative and exciting that everyone was curious about what kind of film Li Qian would make next.
"I just wrote one copy, a 2,000-word story, and didn't print it out. It would be a waste of time to read them one by one."
Li Qian opened the document, looked at the two pieces of paper sandwiched inside, and said, "How about I explain it to you and tell you my ideas."
"Director Li, please tell me quickly." Guo Fan was impatient.
"What's the hurry? It's not the wedding. I'll drink some water first."
Li Qian smiled, drank some water to moisten his throat, and then spoke.
"This time it is a thriller theme, temporarily named "Jaws"."
"Jaws"?
A horror movie with an alien theme?
Qi Yukun asked with some uncertainty, "Director Li, is it a bloody horror movie?"
For Internet universities, the market for bloody horror films is indeed larger than that of suspense films, and it can even be said to be one of the most popular themes.
However, since Li Qian can make suspense films that are not about ghosts and become hits, there should be no need for him to make bloody horror films without much technical content.
"It's not a horror film, it's a thriller." Li Qian corrected, "Although it has horror and suspense elements, it is essentially a thriller."
"The story is very simple. A shark attack occurred in a seaside resort. The security captain in charge of security at the resort proposed to close the beach. However, it was summer vacation and the person in charge of the seaside resort was unwilling to suffer losses. In order to avoid
As the situation escalated, they decided to announce that the deceased had been in a boating accident and asked someone to quietly hunt the sharks.
The shark fishing team quickly caught a shark, but a marine biologist concluded through analysis that the shark that attacked the human was a giant great white shark, and the captured shark was not the murderer.
But the person in charge determined that this was the murderous shark and opened the beach the next day.
As a result, someone was attacked by a shark not long after, and the last fishing expert, responsible security captain, and marine biologist embarked on a shark hunting journey.
Finally, in the far sea area, they used the flesh and blood they threw to attract a great white shark. This huge shark not only escaped their trap, but also began to attack their fishing boat. Even the fishing expert was unfortunately killed in the belly of the fish. In the end, the security guard
The captain hit the oxygen bottle in the shark's mouth with an air gun."
Li Qian finished telling the story simply, but everyone looked at each other in confusion.
It was an ordinary story without any highlights. They could never imagine why Li Qian chose such a story. It was not at the same level as "Sniper Phone Booth".
Li Qian also knew their doubts and continued, "It's a very simple story, but the quality of a movie has nothing to do with the story."
"In my imagination, the shark will not appear for a long time, and it will not even appear in the middle of the plot, nor will it appear when it attacks people for the first time.
A person is swimming on the sea. We give a shark an underwater perspective. Then the camera turns to the sea. Suddenly the person is suddenly yanked by something. He struggles violently on the sea, is dragged around by the shark, and then sinks into the water.
, leaving only a scarlet patch on the sea.
The reason why it is a thriller is that the sharks who do not appear are mainly used to enhance the atmosphere. For example, a large number of tourists are playing in the water, and the feet of the people flapping in the water are watched from the perspective of the shark. The audience knows that something will happen, but they don’t know when it will happen.
.
A familiar dorsal fin appeared on the water, and the crowd fled in panic. It turned out that the two children were playing a prank.
It's a bit like Crying Wolf. First, the audience is repeatedly made to think that a shark is coming and eating people, but it is all a false alarm. When the audience is relieved, the shark suddenly appears again, which has an impact on the characters in the movie and the audience.
will be bigger.
Repeatedly, through the shark's dorsal fin, the underwater shadow, the suddenly overturned surfboard, and the friends fighting each other and pushing each other into the water, the audience's emotions were aroused, making the characters in the movie and the audience mistakenly think that it was a shark.
, with a heart hanging from the beginning to the end.
The fewer appearances you make, the better the effect will be. If you don't appear, you'll hit the audience's nerves as soon as they appear, making them excited, stimulating, frightened, and screaming."
Li Qian briefly talked about his idea. This "Jaws" should be a very old movie. Because of the style, pictures, and the fake shark, it should be a movie from at least twenty years ago.
But Li Qian checked the information and found no trace of this movie.
Therefore, he used it without mercy. Although the plot is simple, the structure and rhythm of this movie can be said to be perfect. Li Qian vaguely saw the shadow of "Jurassic Park". Between the two,
The rhythms between them are different but have the same purpose.
However, if the background is changed to China, there are still many things that need to be changed. For example, the identity of the male protagonist cannot be a policeman, and there is no mayor who wants to suppress this matter.
(The choice of "Jaws" may be surprising to most readers, but I still try my best to write about some movies that rarely appear in Chinese entertainment articles. After all, many movies have been bad in recent years, so I will try to write about some that have not been bad.
It’s a good movie, but it’s not an unpopular movie. Otherwise, it’s so unpopular that no one has seen it, and there’s no sense of immersion. There must be quite a few readers who have seen “Phone Booth” and “Jaws.”)
