"This is a story that spans time and space. Zhang Hanyu and Deng Chao will play a father and son in the movie."
"They will show the audience a deeply touching father-son relationship that spans the boundaries of time and space."
"At the same time, "Frequency of Life and Death" is also a suspenseful crime movie. Two father and son cross the long river of time to change their own destiny and that of their family."
Li Qian, who was a little uncomfortable for a while when faced with so many reporters' repeated attacks, soon became able to face it calmly.
If you ask for details, you won't go into details, but give a general outline, which will confuse people.
Rather than answering questions for reporters, my own answers made them think more deeply.
Looking at Li Qian, who was talking to reporters without any signs of panic, Zhang Zhao and several actors next to him were a little surprised.
Zhang Zhao still remembers when he returned to China to shoot his first feature film, which was a co-production between Shanghai Film Studio and Hollywood. Even though it was a small production, the scale of the first interview was far less than it is now. At that time, it was
Li Qian is not as calm and logical as he is.
Zhang Hanyu, Deng Chao, and Yuan Quan, who had experienced such a relatively large battle, were also surprised by Li Qian's calmness.
When they faced a similar battle for the first time, even if they walked through it step by step, there was a process that would make them more or less excited.
As for Wang Qianyuan and Lei Jiayin, who are not yet famous, even if no reporters are paying attention to them at this time, they are sitting upright and tense, as if someone is watching them.
And Tong Liya, from time to time, peeked at Li Qian who was sitting across the seat, her eyes full of admiration.
The press conference lasted for more than half an hour and ended. There was not much to say. It was just a publicity warm-up effect. It would be bad to say it too clearly. It should give the media and the audience room to imagine.
The film, which cost only RMB 10 million in production and promotion fees combined, was not too complicated. After the press conference, Li Qian took them to Huairou, where most of the indoor scenes would be shot.
If it were a large-scale production with an investment of tens or even hundreds of millions, there would be at least five or six press conferences and various interviews before the shooting started, making it more lively than other movies before they are released.
Arriving in Huairou, the crew has already prepared for the opening ceremony.
Qi Yukun stepped forward and said, "Boss, we are ready."
"Call everyone over here." Li Qian ordered.
"Boss, why have you learned to worship gods?" Lei Jiayin asked curiously.
After Qi Yukun and Guo Fan, Lei Jiayin also changed his name.
Calling Director Li too annoying, the boss is so kind.
Li Qian shook his head, "Before, there were only a few people in the online crew, and the filming was completed in half a month. There was no such thing as burning incense and worshiping gods. Now the crew is bigger, the shooting time is longer, and there is not much of this procedure."
.”
To put it bluntly, burning incense and worshiping gods is just to seek comfort in your heart, just to show off.
And when a group of people who are not familiar with each other get together, a little ritual is needed to increase cohesion.
Of course, if you don't burn incense, if something happens, some fools will start to babble, saying that it's all your fault for not worshiping God, which will affect the shooting.
Li Qian remembered something and said, "Did you know that when Zhang Manyu was filming "Hero", Zhang Yimou did not worship the gods, and Zhang Manyu refused to film life or death. Later, Zhang Yimou did a worship ceremony." Li Qian said again.
"Ah, why?"
Everyone was a little curious.
"Manyu Cheung once filmed "Ruan Lingyu", a scene in which she commits suicide by taking poison late at night. In order to create a desolate atmosphere and allow the actors to enter the scene easily, the crew cleared the scene. No unrelated persons were allowed to enter, and only the actors, director and photographer were left on the scene.
That day, the shooting location was diagonally opposite Ruan Lingyu's former residence. After taking a shot, the photographer suddenly turned pale, trembled constantly, and was covered in cold sweat."
Seeing Li Qian stop, Tong Liya couldn't help but ask, "What next?"
"Then."
Li Qian suddenly approached Tong Liya and said conspiratorially, "The photographer said he saw Ruan Lingyu's ghost standing at the door, crying."
"ah!"
Tong Liya screamed and pinched Li Qian's arm.
"hiss"
He looks so thin, but he doesn't expect that he is very strong.
Seeing Li Qian's reaction, Tong Liya quickly let go of her hand and said angrily, "I told you to scare me!"
"I didn't know you were so timid and more energetic than me when watching horror movies." Li Qian was helpless.
"Where can I have it?"
While talking, Tong Liya suddenly found that Deng Chao and the others were missing.
"Strange, where are they?"
"Well, over there."
Li Qian pointed behind her. Deng Chao and Zhang Hanyu walked to the other side consciously.
"oops."
Tong Liya patted Li Qian's arm, her face turned slightly red, and she trotted over.
Li Qian smiled and rubbed his arm that hurt from being pinched.
"The energy is not small."
Shaking his head, he walked to Xiang'an and took the trumpet from Qi Yukun.
"Okay, come here, everyone, come here, let's burn incense together."
Li Qian did not go through the complicated process of Xiangjiang. He took turns to burn incense in batches. The entire crew gathered together, burned incense and paid their respects.
In Huairou, there are mainly interior scenes, and the crew is not particularly large, only a few dozen people.
There are two long tables in front of them forming a long incense bank, with incense burners, fruits, roasted suckling pig and so on.
On both sides are two Arri 535 film cameras, both covered with red cloth.
They burned incense together. Of course, those who believe in religion don't have to burn incense. Jay Chou believes in Christianity. He doesn't burn incense every time he films, but prays there by himself.
Immediately afterwards, Li Qian and Zhang Zhao opened the red cover of a camera. Film shooting is prone to scratches, so they covered it with a red cloth to suppress evil.
To seek good luck, Zhang Yimou would deliberately wear a red dress every time he turned on his phone, just like many people wear red underwear in their zodiac year.
After the simple procedure was completed, Li Qian and several actors also took some photos, and then Li Qian made the official announcement.
""Frequency of Life and Death" is officially launched!"
Without wasting time, we came to the studio and started shooting the first scene.
Li Qian has only played with the film machine twice in school and is not very familiar with it.
This scene is a scene between Deng Chao and Tong Liya. The two were putting on makeup and Li Qian came to the camera.
Zhang Zhonghua was discussing the next shot with the lighting team leader and art director using text storyboards, while the operator was loading film.
Loading film is also a technical job, after all, film is very fragile.
After discussing the scenes to be shot today in detail, after Deng Chao and Tong Liya put on their makeup, they started auditioning.
Film movies are different from digital movies in that it is impossible to shoot one shot over and over again without limit.
Try out the scene until the actor's performance is satisfactory before filming can begin.
"Let's go through it first and let's get started!"
In the living room, Deng Chao, who was unshaven and had no energy at all, was smoking a cigarette, his eyes were dull, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Tong Liya, who had already taken a box out, came back to continue packing her clothes. When Deng Chao saw her walking back, he quickly threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stepped on it with his foot.
He pulled Tong Liya and said, "Shanshan, are you really just leaving like this?"
"I've been patient for a long time." Tong Liya didn't hesitate at all.
Deng Chao followed him into the bedroom and stood at the door watching Tong Liya pack her clothes.
"You are right, we should have broken up long ago."
Tong Liya, who had been choking, couldn't help but cover her face with her hands and cry when she heard this.
Deng Chao was still standing at the door and said, "I'm sorry, it's all my fault."
"I want to change, but it's hard to change my nature."
"It's you who refuses to change, not even once. I've had enough."
Tong Liya carried the box and walked out of the bedroom. Before leaving, she looked back at him with tears in her eyes.
"Goodbye, squad leader."
This scene is when the girlfriend played by Tong Liya is about to pack up her things and leave, showing the situation of her son after the 20th, in contrast to the happy family 20 years ago.
My father died in a fire when I was young, so I lacked fatherly love and guidance while growing up.
When I grew up, my life was in chaos. I was depressed every day, drank too much, didn't exercise, and had a dull personality. I kept saying that I was born with it and couldn't change it, but in fact I never took the initiative to change it. My girlfriend couldn't bear it and wanted to leave.
In contrast to his father who is happy and has a harmonious family.
After contacting his father, the son also changed little by little, and finally got rid of this gloomy and down-and-out image.
I no longer drink alcohol, I love sports, I am sunny and cheerful, and I can coax my girlfriend.
