Chapter 324 Double opening.rush to shoot.Red again.

After finalizing the actors, Li Wei naturally chose to start filming "The Splendid Red Maple" first, and at the same time, he is also working on the filming work of "Wild Speed".With the popularity of "movie spectacle", commercial films are more and more fond of filming overseas, especially those with local characteristics.Although China in this time and space is rich and powerful enough, and the common people are rich enough, not everyone loves to go abroad, and even those who love to go abroad are not able to travel to every location on the water blue star.Therefore, when everyone saw the exotic locations in the movie, they were still very excited.Li Wei's "Wild Speed" has a very generous production fee, so the filming places are not limited to well-known countries.The place that Li Wei called the name this time is Latin America, because in Li Wei's opinion, the place that best embodies wildness is Latin America.

Generally, it will be difficult for directors to double play, but Li Wei is not worried.Li Wei's assistant director and Li Wei have been in touch for many years, and the shots shot by the assistant director are transmitted to Li Wei through the network for review every day, so Li Wei doesn't have to worry about the assistant director's shooting.But even so, Li Wei did not dare to hand over the directing rights for too long, so the filming of "The Brilliant Red Maple" could only be accelerated.The multi-camera work that is usually used by TV drama crews has also been realized in Li Wei's crew this time.However, Li Wei's method of operation was naturally criticized by traditional directors, saying that Li Wei was completely wasting his talent and overdrawing his popularity.In short, Li Wei is now the biggest source of pollution in the film industry.

The production period reserved by Li Wei for "The Brilliant Red Maple" was only three weeks, so Li Wei had to shuttle between several photography groups.Although Li Wei's high-intensity filming made the actors a little unbearable, fortunately, Li Wei never treated the actors badly in terms of benefits.There is never a shortage of various fruits, snacks, and drinks in the basic actor's lounge. There are at least three to four convenience stores to choose from for three meals, and even special dining needs can be mentioned.Seeing Li Wei's high-level hospitality, the actors had no choice but to bite the bullet.However, although Li Wei let the actors shoot at full capacity, it will not tire the actors, and there is still enough to ensure that the actors get enough sleep.What's more, the whole movie is not a work that particularly challenges acting skills, so even two new actors can pass it smoothly.

However, Li Wei's method of filming made the crew a little strange. For example, all the actors' faces would increase the amount of light used, and the actress even specially used a soft light to hit her face.At the same time, a turquoise filter will be added to the camera, and the pictures taken are a bit cold.However, against the background of high light and soft light, this slight coldness makes the lens feel a little reminiscent.

"Your "Red Maple Splendor" came out too fast, right? And I've gone through the material roughly, and you hardly have any wasted shots." After checking the material, Xie Geng said to Li Wei Said. "Tsk tsk, according to your shooting method, our editors will lose their jobs in the future. Also, you have a special feeling when lighting this time. How should I put it? There is a slight sense of alienation that seems familiar. It feels like a memory. .I think those film critics are going to slap themselves again, and belittle your movie. I guess after this movie is released, your lighting method will be imitated again. By the way, your How is the filming of "Fast Speed"? I heard that the crew has been shooting interior scenes in the studio? Didn't you say that this show will surprise us in Samba? I'm looking forward to what you said A ghetto chase scene."

"At least I learned the homework of being a director, right?" Li Wei had nothing to say about Xie Geng's complaints. "The filming of the interior scenes of "Fast Speed" is still about two weeks away. I have to wait for the release of "Maple Splendor" before taking the crew to Samba to shoot the exterior scenes. You said it is not difficult, but I am looking forward to it. You give me the fine-cut version tomorrow."

"Aren't you cheating me? Forget it, just close your eyes and edit this kind of movie." Xie Geng waved his hand, motioning Li Wei to leave.

Although Xie Geng made complaints about it, it took him only one day to produce the edited version.Compared with the rough cut version edited by Li Wei, the duration of the film has been reduced by nearly 5 minutes.However, Li Wei didn't see any problem with the story line, and the rhythm of the movie was better.All that remains is to arrange for the music editor to edit the corresponding soundtrack to the film, and finally, it can be handed over to the distribution department of Kylin Films to produce the broadcast key and prepare for release.Although "Red Maple Brilliant" caused headaches for Kylin Films due to the rush to shoot, after all, the film shot by its big boss dared not not release it, so it was simply stuffed into the cold period between the summer file and the National Day file-September file is gone.

Originally everyone got mad because Li Wei would rush over, but Li Wei silently accepted the arrangement.Moreover, Li Wei not only accepted this schedule, but also printed the words "Take you to relive the passionate years of the college entrance examination" on all promotional materials.It is estimated that the group of college freshmen who have just started school will come out to watch movies in September, right?After all, there is no so-called military training in this plane, and September has basically become the default period for freshmen in all universities.The freshmen don't have much homework this month, either actively researching which club to join, or jumping up and down to find a fellowship dormitory.In short, no matter what reason you are dating, watching movies is of course a cheap and good choice.Although there are many students watching movies during this period, after all, there are only college students, so they cannot support enough box office, so it is also regarded as the off-season of movies.

Just when Li Wei prepared the promotional material of "The Brilliant Red Maple" was released on the market, the promotional video of "The Brilliant Red Maple" edited by Li Wei also landed on major TV stations and video sites. "Two girls with poor grades, and a teacher who turned into a gangster, made a promise for the unattainable dream of the college entrance examination. A year of transformation, a year of struggle, sweat and tears, glory and dreams... the agreement of the three people, An ultimate goal. Has it been achieved? This September, let's relive that passionate day!"

Li Wei edited the original campus movie into a hot-blooded look, and the biggest hands of this kind of bloody movie are the students.Moreover, this kind of theme of the college entrance examination is right in the middle of the freshmen who have just finished the college entrance examination, and the attention of this movie has risen in a straight line.Since the movie opened for pre-sale tickets, the theater managers saw that the attendance rate of the theater has been increasing in a straight line, and the attendance rate of each hall has exceeded 90%!For such good pre-sale results, the theater manager also ordered to increase the number of screenings, the schedule was also adjusted from daytime to evening, and the venues for the show were also arranged from the small hall next to the toilet to the large hall and even the flagship hall.

But even so, the results of pre-sale tickets are still growing gratifyingly.Generally speaking, maintaining a 30% attendance rate for ordinary movies is enough to save money, and a 50% attendance rate is considered a hit blockbuster.If the attendance rate reaches 80% or 90%, then it is a phenomenal movie.You know, it's September in the low season.Originally, there were no good films with such a schedule, but when an aircraft carrier-level box office masterpiece suddenly appeared, the theater manager naturally lowered the rate of those horror films, thrillers, or literary films that few people watched.Many B-level movies that wanted to take advantage of the off-season to cheat the box office suddenly found that they were only a one-week tour, and a few movies that they couldn't watch were even a one-day tour.

Although according to the theater's pre-sale rules, movie theaters generally only pre-sell movie tickets within three days at most.But even so, everyone still saw the unstoppable momentum of "The Splendid Red Maple".You must know that the three days of pre-sale are still from Tuesday to Thursday, and the next one is the important box office schedule from Friday to Sunday.If the box office popularity of the first three days has accumulated, the weekend box office is bound to explode.And once word-of-mouth has formed in the student community, they are very enthusiastic and recommend it everywhere.Such a situation caused other film companies to cry and faint in the toilet again, and the bosses bit their handkerchiefs to express that they could not understand the current audience.

Li Wei, who was interviewed by his own magazine, answered why his movies are popular, saying: "I dare not say that my movies are popular with the audience. I just try to make movies that the audience likes to watch. I know that movies are an art. , so I am making movies with the most reverence; but at the same time I also know that movies are a commercial work, so I must let my work be loved by the most people, or let a certain category of people love it crazy .I don't like pretending to be noble or mysterious, you are here to entertain the audience, too much pride will only make your audience think you are inexplicable."

Although everyone was mentally prepared, the painting day of "The Brilliant Red Maple" still surprised the media.Because many viewers who did not buy tickets and were recommended by the surroundings surrounded the box office, hoping to get more movie tickets.Because of the strong demands of these audiences, the theater chain had to negotiate with the distribution company urgently. On the one hand, it was to open additional zero-point sessions, and on the other hand, it also added some morning sessions to appease some audiences who did not have too many demands on time. .Because it is an extra show, it means that the entire movie theater is showing "Red Maple Splendor", and the original estimated box office has to wait until the next day's statistics are clear before releasing it.When everyone was struggling, the box office statistics finally came late the next day at noon.

Everyone's first feeling after seeing this number is that Li Wei, the "scum" director, has hit his luck again!To use rush-produced films to win such a terrifying box office in the off-season!No, everyone must have been cheated, otherwise how did the 1.5 million box office come about?It is certain that the box office will also drop on the second day.Sure enough, the box office did drop the next day, but it remained at 1.3 million.After the weekend, the box office on Saturday was 2.1 million, the box office on Sunday was 1.9 million, and the weekend box office was 3 million, which won the weekend box office championship.

However, when the media was disturbing, Li Wei chartered a plane and took the crew of "Wild Speed" to Samba to shoot scenes.Although Li Wei, a key figure, was not caught, the two little idols Ji Caixuan and Xia Lan did not dare to offend the media, so the two had to scan several media links a day to accept interviews.The popularity of the two also led to the popularity of the groups behind them. The third single released by Amber Liuli took advantage of the situation and naturally won the double championship of the weekly and monthly charts; and the single used by SunnyGirls to save the decline also miraculously Won the weekly champion and the monthly runner-up.

SunnyGirls' popularity again did not save the disbandment of the team. The original quarrel made Xia Lan feel dissatisfied, and this time her own popularity also made the agency see Xia Lan's solo future.There are already two TV dramas that have promised Xia Lan to be the heroine, so Xia Lan also said that team activities are too much of a drag on herself.Therefore, after discussion by the brokerage company, the release of the disbandment commemorative album on the sixth anniversary of the group can be regarded as a face of the group.
