"Flight of Destiny" filmed indoor scenes in Huairou in an orderly manner. Basically, it was mainly scenes at the hero's home, and then mixed with some scenes in the hospital and job hunting.
The hospital scene is mainly about the treatment plan for his son's leukemia. It has two purposes: to reflect the five-year era gap and the disappearance of one of the benefits of these five years.
Leukemia is a terminal disease, and a cure was developed within five years, which immediately widened the gap from five years ago.
Of course, in reality, we don’t know whether leukemia can be cured after five years.
The benefits of this great change also imply the old saying, misfortune lies where blessings depend, and blessing lies where misfortune lies.
No matter how big a disaster is, there may be a bright side.
It's just chicken soup, it's pretty much the same anyway.
As for the role of job hunting, it has been out of line with the times for five years, and I must have been rejected in various ways.
Domestic development is so fast. 18 years ago, the film industry had not yet begun commercialization. The highest-grossing film was the anti-corruption blockbuster "Life and Death", which sold 120 million yuan.
Of course, no one can produce the level of this anti-corruption movie eighteen years ago.
Except for this drama, all other films have been huge hits with box office sales exceeding 10 million.
Except for the film industry, this is true for any industry. Five years is enough to divide an era.
Five years ago, the mobile Internet was just getting started.
Including urban architecture, there is a huge difference in the past five years. Unlike the United States, let alone five years, New York fifty years ago is similar to what it is now.
The alienation of the times, lack of work, and family problems are the main thread.
There will also be some other things interspersed in the middle, such as the identity of the male protagonist. He was originally legally dead, but now he needs to restore his identity.
Normally when making a movie, you must show the efficiency of the government, which is a black wave.
Li Qian doesn't want to be black, but this is also a fact.
Not only the identity of the male protagonist, but also the side description of the government's slow work efficiency, and the character Peng Peng, who cannot continue to go to college, and it took a while for the school to allow him to enroll with the new students next year.
To be honest, it is not called a crime. Generally speaking, as long as it is not exposed, many government departments are indeed inefficient.
It can’t be too dark, it should also show a positive side.
Also, by the way, in today's Internet environment, the male protagonist was spotted by some fucking entertainment company during his job search, and they wanted to use the gimmick of him disappearing for five years to generate a wave of traffic.
In addition to Deng Chao's scenes and his scenes opposite Wang Ou, there is also a scene where the heroine Tong Liya, who has another line, breaks up with her ex-fiancé. The one who has the most scenes is Zhang Zifeng.
During adolescence, the rebellious period, children at this stage, regardless of gender, are the most annoying.
While she was alienated from her father whom she hadn't seen for five years, she also suspected that her mother had changed her mind, and felt a little sorry for the other man who had been taking care of their mother and daughter for the past five years.
Of course, this will not be a villain. In the end, he also serves as the glue for the family. After all, the younger brother is too young and cannot bear more roles. The children's roles are basically concentrated on Zhang Zifeng.
This is the emotional line, not more. Basically, in most commercial movies, emotion is very important, but it is not the focus of storytelling.
The story of the plot itself cannot be placed on the emotional side, and the plot can only highlight the emotions, unless it is made into a purely emotional drama.
The monotonous and boring shooting life in the studio lasted for more than half a month. It was actually uncomfortable to sit in a semi-sealed studio every day.
On September 20th, the crew ended the scenes in the studio and finished filming the family drama at all stages from misunderstanding to family members.
Huairou is not far from the airport, so we took a direct flight to the mountain city of Chongqing.
After getting off the plane, I filmed the scene in the lobby waiting for the flight at the airport. After giving the crew a day off, I continued filming.
Peng Peng had a movie "Take My Brother Away" to be released during the National Day holiday. As the leading actor, he also had to promote with the crew, so he filmed his movie first.
Early in the morning, Li Qian took the crew to an express delivery station in downtown Chongqing, and Shunfeng Express took the initiative to provide a shooting location.
Not only was the venue provided free of charge, but 20 million was also offered.
This is not something Li Qian just asked for and rushed to his door. He wouldn't be happy if he didn't accept it.
The plot is very simple. Deng Chao has never found a suitable job, and the compensation from the airline has not yet been paid.
Once, while squatting on the ground floor of an office building and eating bread, he happened to meet Peng Peng, who was delivering a courier.
In the CBD with tall buildings, there are white-collar workers in suits and ties coming and going. No matter what their real situation is, renting a basement or whatever, at least in the office building they all look like social elites.
Deng Chao, who was still wearing a suit from five years ago that he had kept at home, was holding an equally old bag and gnawing bread on the roadside, and was out of tune with the social elites around him.
However, it still makes little sense.
"Ka, stop for a moment."
After being NGed several times in a row, Li Qian also came over from behind the monitor and talked about the drama.
"Brother Chao, you are acting like a person from a small place goes to the capital or the capital to find a job. It's too much. Chongqing is your home. You used to work in a similar place. You are not a countryman going to the city.
Also, unemployment is actually not your own fault, you just went to take a plane, and there should be a trace of resentment towards society and regret on your expression."
Deng Chao said, "I feel a little awkward. It doesn't make sense. There are so many people on the plane. It's impossible for the government to turn a blind eye and let those people return to society without even a guarantee."
Li Qian nodded, "It doesn't make sense, so I won't say it."
"???"
Deng looked at him with a question mark, "Can it still be like this?"
"How else to do it? The space is not enough and there is no time to give the official a lot of scenes. I can only mention it in some details. If I mention this aspect, there will be more flaws. It is better not to mention it and let the audience figure it out."
We can't directly say that the government's efficiency in doing things is slow. After all, it is still a positive film.
Next to him, Peng Peng interjected, "I understand, this is called leaving blank space. I also think it's a bit unreasonable. My family is not well off, yet the family takes a plane to travel."
"You know a hammer."
Li Qian patted the helmet on Peng Peng's head and asked him, "Suppose when you were in college, there was one week before the end of the month, and you only had 500 yuan left. It happened to be your girlfriend's birthday, and she was very early.
I want a birthday gift, and this gift costs exactly 500 yuan. Are you willing to eat steamed buns for a week just to buy a birthday gift for your girlfriend?"
"I do, what's the point?" Peng Peng said matter-of-factly.
When Li Qian heard this, he looked at you like you are an idiot, "You are willing to spend the last five hundred yuan for your girlfriend and eat steamed buns for a week. In that script, in order to fulfill the only dream of a terminally ill son, the parents spent money to accompany you to watch it.
Looking at the sea, what’s the problem? Isn’t my son less important than my girlfriend?”
"..."
Peng Peng had nothing to say, so he turned around and rode his beloved motorcycle.
In the beginning, for filming, he specially learned to ride an electric tricycle for a month and even went to an internship at a delivery point.
However, I later discovered that it is difficult to drive an electric tricycle to deliver express delivery in Chongqing. Generally, riding a motorcycle requires learning all over again.
The filming continued, and Deng Chao continued to eat bread with all kinds of negative emotions. At this time, Peng Peng, who was delivering the courier, parked next to him on a motorcycle and actually recognized him.
"Hey, it's you, uncle."
They all came through common hardships, and Peng Peng happily said hello.
Deng Chao raised his head. He was still somewhat impressed by the young man on the plane who aspired to be a physical education teacher who never got sick. He was a little confused by his appearance.
After hiding the bread in his bag, Deng Chaocai pointed to the express motorcycle in front of him and asked, "It's you, what's wrong with you?"
"It's me. The school hasn't informed me when I will start school, and I don't want to go back to kill pigs, so I'm here to deliver the express."
Peng Peng patted his car. Although his lean and dark face was covered with sweat, he seemed very satisfied with the job.
Still as familiar as on the plane, he looked at Deng Chao and without waiting for him to speak, he continued, "Uncle, if you don't find a job, why don't you come and deliver the express?"
"Sending express delivery?"
Deng Chao, who has always been sitting in an office, is a little unfamiliar with this industry. However, compared to five years ago, couriers and takeaways can be seen everywhere on the streets. There are too many people in this industry. Occasionally, they are even seen delivering express delivery on short videos.
Earn tens of thousands a month by delivering food.
Deng Chao hesitated and said, "Do you make money delivering express delivery?"
"It's not bad. This is my second month. I should be able to earn four to five thousand this month."
Peng Peng wiped his sweat and added with a smile, "But someone on our website made 20,000 yuan last month. I have set a goal. I will make more than 10,000 yuan in two months!"
With a monthly income of up to 20,000 yuan, Deng Chao was a little moved, but also had some doubts. Looking at the sincere eyes of the young man opposite him, he subconsciously turned his head so as not to look at him.
"I'll think about it. Several companies are asking me for interviews in the afternoon. I'll talk to you then."
"Okay, let's leave a phone number."
After exchanging phone numbers, Peng Peng left a wish for a smooth interview, took out a package from the express box, and trotted into the office building.
Although he still doesn't fit in with the white-collar workers around him, he can still run very fast.
"Okay, passed!"
It went surprisingly smoothly. The role of Peng Peng, who had such a small task, was completed very well, and there was no need to show the conflict of not being able to go to college and working part-time. The difference in appearance between the plane and the current Peng Peng, the dark complexion, made the audience aware of the difference.
It can be repaired.
At this time, all he needs to do is play the role of a diligent and optimistic worker.
As for Deng Chao, such a simple scene is not difficult at all. It's just that he was tempted but couldn't lose face, so he found an excuse to have an interview.
After filming, the location was moved, and Peng Peng's scene was prioritized and moved to another street.
It was still the same, one morning after many days, when Deng Chao passed by Shunfeng Station on his way to the hospital, he saw Peng Peng working hard to carry a large push of packages and goods.
I watched from a distance across the street, thinking about the young man on the plane who had just graduated from high school and was about to go to college. He had already lost weight, his skin had darkened, and his hair had been cut short. He had only had so little time.
He has become a courier so skillfully.
After all, it was physical work. Deng Chao could only imagine what he had gone through during this period before he chose to do such a job.
Today I have to go to the hospital again to discuss my son’s treatment plan. Although my son still has two years to live, God knows when his condition will worsen, and I can’t wait any longer.
Deng Chao finally put down his dignity, crossed the busy intersection, came to the express delivery station opposite, said hello to Peng Peng, and expressed his intention to be a courier.
Peng Peng was also very happy that "one of our own" who had experienced great changes together came to work together, and the two looked at each other and smiled.
The crane camera lens was zoomed up, and the sun had just risen in the early morning, and it shone on the two of them, shining brightly.
...
This scene was filmed for eight days, and what follows is the express delivery career of the two of them. Deng Chao gradually transformed from a novice to a qualified courier under the guidance of Peng Peng.
At this time, a notice came from Pengpeng University, asking him to prepare materials and enroll with the new batch of freshmen next year.
Now that he could continue going to school, Peng Peng resigned, treated his colleagues at the site to a meal, and went home with everyone's blessings to review his homework and prepare for the upcoming college life.
Just in time, the National Day schedule has arrived as scheduled, including "Wu Shuang" starring Fa Ge and Aaron Kwok, "Anti-Corruption Storm 3" by Louis Koo, the new comedy "Li Cha's Aunt" by the Mahua team, and Yang Mi's literary film to regain her reputation.
The movie "Baby", the comedy "Fat Action Team" starring Bao Beier and Wen Zhang, plus "Take My Brother Away Quickly" are also quite lively.
There is no doubt that Mahua team's new film "Li Cha's Aunt" won the first place with a huge advantage even without Shen Teng's participation.
It exceeded 100 million on the first day, which is much worse than the previous films. After all, there is no Shen Teng. At least Shen Teng made a cameo in "Shameful Iron Fist", focusing on promoting him.
The audience also understood that the Mahua team mainly wanted to watch Shen Teng.
This "Li Cha's Aunt" is also similar to a male-female swap scenario. Li Cha's aunt is a famous celebrity, and then someone pretends to be her, creating a series of funny plots.
It's not as good as "Shameful Iron Fist", which has a bad reputation. During the National Day holiday and the first two days, it only took 9 days to get 550 million in box office.
The box office dropped by 8 million on the first working day. It was an avalanche. One billion was impossible.
"Fat Man Action Team" is also a comedy. If you look at Bao Beier directing and starring, you will know what kind of bad movie it is.
If you can't even act well, why do you want to make money as a director?
The title of the film has a fat person in it, and in addition to the fact that mainland comedies now have to find a woman with a hot figure to sell meat to attract attention, the whole movie is full of deep malice towards fat people and beautiful women.
All kinds of obscene fantasies, pretending to be ugly, acting stupid, pretending to be crazy, and the jokes are all embarrassing.
It's a movie where you pretend to be crazy and act stupid and add a few hot-bodied women.
"Anti-Corruption Storm 3", the first two films in this series are very average and limited in strength.
"Wushuang", a Hong Kong film that was not expected to be popular, unexpectedly became a hit.
The movie's reputation exploded, and so did the box office.
With only 50 million on the first day, the box office has already reached 700 million in nine days, and 30 million on the first working day. One billion is just around the corner.
Also a hit was "Take My Brother Away," starring two young actors Peng Peng and Zhang Zifeng. Such a low-cost fantasy comedy earned a box office of 300 million in two days at the end of September plus a seven-day holiday.
Moreover, I received 10 million in a single day on the first working day, and the reputation is also very good.
Although there are many shortcomings from God's perspective, a 17-year-old brother can do so much despite his parents' divorce, which has moved the audience very much.
Although this National Day movie is not very popular, there is a movie with a billion-dollar rating, which is not bad to watch.
By the way, there is also "Baby" starring Yang Mi, so you don't need to watch it.
However, after the National Day, Penguin announced the news of a major production, taking advantage of the previous hit "Chen Qing Ling".
With the popularity of the online drama's top traffic, he will star in the movie version of "Zhu Xian".
This super big IP, which countless book fans have been waiting for for many years, is finally going to hit the big screen. Penguin announced that it will invest a huge investment of 500 million to create the first fairy tale blockbuster in mainland China.
