Chapter 86 Loop Loop
“Are you trying to get the audience to come to the theater a few more times?”
“Haha, I have the same idea.” Lin Nan admitted with a smile.
Zeng Li also came over, "Director Lin, how are you? Are there any problems with my two scenes?"
Zeng Li's words were quite modest. "I've never been NGed once, Sister Li, what do you think?" Lin Nan said with a smile.
"That's good." Zeng Li smiled brightly and brightly on his face.
Looking at the time, Lin Nan said to everyone: "We will shoot here today, go back early, and the leading actors will review tomorrow's script in the hotel conference room after dinner."
" Okay, director."
"Roger, Director Lin."
The shooting scene is blocked by a barrier to prevent onlookers from breaking into the camera range and watching this. The actors were leaving the stage, their names were shouted loudly, and everyone waved.
The equipment borrowed from Lu Zheng was also carefully loaded into the car by the staff and pulled back.
While most of the logistics staff were taking a break or doing their own thing, everyone in the hotel conference room was already here.
“We need to discuss tomorrow’s shooting content.” Lin Nan, as director and screenwriter, was the first to speak.
“So far, we have filmed the scene of the car accident. This scene is the beginning of the story and will also be used as the theme at the end of the movie.
Tomorrow we will start with the heroine played by Sister Zeng Li. Starting from arriving at the pier, this shot can be regarded as the beginning and end of the continuous cycle of the feature film. When one cycle ends, the second cycle will start from this shot..."
Zeng Li nodded, and Ning Hao smiled and said, "I have finished filming, and the scenes for the four of you will start tomorrow."
Ning Hao said to Chen Minghao and the others that he was going to stay for two more days. Firstly, I came to see the crew filming, and secondly, I came to play with Xing Aina for a few days.
Chen Minghao plays Zeng Li's new boyfriend, who is also the helmsman of the yacht, and Zhu Yawen helps him.
"The script is actually quite obvious. The first time it was dark clouds covering the sun, wind, rain and big waves caused the yacht to crash. In the subsequent cycle, the sea was calm and the yacht capsized." Chen Minghao said.
“Yes, this sense of distinction can also make it easier for the audience to understand. The further the cycle goes, the bigger the loopholes will be, but with the addition of science fiction, multi-time and space influences and other materials, it is easier to understand. Lin Nan explained.
...
The crew of "Time Cruiser" is immersed in work and has begun the first round of filming.
In the outside world, "Harry Potter 4" held its premiere in the capital with great fanfare , a large number of movie fans flocked to the event, and the organizers even prepared to recruit a hundred fans to wear Harry Potter gear and attend the premiere.
Nearly a thousand white candles and fifteen thousand dominoes, simulating a spell casting scene...
In the second half of November, "Harry Potter 4" will reap a harvest A round of box office, with the sword pointing towards December.
Beach Pier.
“Start.”
Zeng Li came to the dock with a pale face and a dazed look on his face, where Chen Minghao was inspecting the yacht.
Seeing the heroine's appearance, Chen Minghao stepped off the yacht, went over to ask what happened, and helped her into the yacht.
Not long after, the remaining four friends also came, the husband and wife played by Tian Yu and Yan Danchen, Zhu Yawen’s third male lead, who would help Chen Minghao to drive the yacht together, and the final scene of the heroine A friend, Gao Yuanyuan's third daughter.
For safety reasons, a rescue team was hired to follow at a certain distance. We also asked beforehand that all the actors knew how to swim.
Dark clouds, wind and rain require some lens switching and post-rendering, which saves trouble.
When several people used the equipment to call for help, there was a noisy sound of electricity in the microphone, and an intermittent female voice called for help.
If you can eliminate the interference sound of the current, you can hear that the cry for help is exactly the same as the heroine's voice.
“Click.”
Several speedboats came over, and the makeup of the leading actors needed to be modified. Although the plot continued to cycle, it was impossible for Lin Nan and the leading actors to finish one round and then do the second round.
Of course, when filming a certain section, the repetitive plot should be filmed in one go, so that there is no need to change the filming location multiple times, which is much simpler.
Everyone took the photos very seriously, but after all, we were shooting on a yacht, and sometimes mistakes would happen, and we would have to start over.
Yan Danchen accidentally fell into the water. The men swallowed their saliva and turned away from looking at her. The logistics staff took her to another boat to change clothes and put on makeup.
The temperature in Sanya is over 20 degrees, and the water here is still in the recreational area. The water temperature is not low, so there is no need to worry about catching a cold.
Lin Nan looked at the schedule. Since there weren't too many negatives, the shooting schedule was still a little ahead of schedule. Even if Yan Danchen fell into the water and took the photo here today, it would not affect the subsequent shooting arrangements.
“The most important plot of the whole movie is what follows. It all takes place on the cruise ship. We need to sort it out carefully and try our best to go through it in one go.”
Lin Nan asked everyone to return. , because Yan Danchen fell into the water just now, it might be a little slow for everyone to get back into shooting mode for a while, so it is better to go back and continue tomorrow.
Chen Dagui launched a clarion call to attack piracy, and big names in the industry continued to join in. Many directors and film companies responded one after another, hoping that the authorities could come up with methods and systems.
In the past few years after joining the WTO, domestic film and television piracy has caused heavy losses to the entire industry.
Lin Nan originally wanted to film a movie quietly in Sanya, but was interrupted in the end.
"Director Lin, Director Ning, we also hope that you can join our initiative. Filmmakers in the industry are supporting it. This is only good for the development of the industry..."
"The Promise" has already It's just a matter of building momentum, but Chen Kaige's behavior is indeed a good one. Combating piracy is also a way to protect Lin Nan's own interests.
"Okay, you can go back and tell Director Chen and others that I support it."
"I support it too." The visitor thanked him happily, and there will be more in the lineup reported by the media later. Two well-known directors.
Ning Hao would visit the set from time to time, or play with Xing Aina. After more than a week, he was about to go back.
“Originally I said I would play for a few more days, but people kept contacting me at the studio. After all, I couldn’t let go of work.” Ning Hao said with a smile.
Xing Aina had a lot of fun these days, "It's time to go back. There are invitations, so it's hard to take time off. It's rare to be able to play for so long this time."
"Since you want to go back, let the crew send a car to take you to the airport. I might not be able to leave anyway," Lin Nan said.
"You'd better hurry up and film your movie. I won't be coming to the wedding banquet then."
"Yes."
Ning Hao and his wife returned to the capital, and Lin Nan had another Preparations for shooting began.
Yesterday, everyone saw the cruise ship rented by the crew for the first time.
“This ship has been in service for many years and is about to be decommissioned. In the last period of time, Director Lin can use it to make movies, which is actually considered waste utilization.”
A senior executive of the cruise ship company said to Lin Nan very humbly.
The cruise ship has been painted on a large area, which is more thorough and detailed than Lin Nan requested. It looks like a style from the beginning of the last century.
The company also asked if this was enough, and they could make any appearance modifications according to Lin Nan's wishes.
They did not hide it, "I wish Director Lin's movie will be a hit, and this ship will become an attraction by then..."
Only after hearing this, Lin Nan understood , just because the cruise ship is decommissioned does not mean it is scrapped, it has really many uses.
...
In a roundabout way, the crew has been filming for more than half a month.
Liu Yifei would call from time to time in the morning domestic time. It should be afternoon time there. Several times, Lin Nan was busy and couldn't answer the phone. She wanted to return a call at the right time, but it was not the right time there. .
Finally, the free time of both parties was determined through text messages.
"The crew shot at a fast pace, and most of the shots were completed in the green screen studio. How are you doing there?" Liu Yifei asked softly.
"Fortunately, everyone is very dedicated and the progress is still a little ahead of schedule. By the way, have you met Tom? He is my agent there."
Lin Nan told Liu Yifei before that there is You can talk to Tom about any issues, and I also greeted the latter in advance.
"I met him. He is an interesting person. He always praises you and says that if you develop in Hollywood, you will definitely be liked by many actresses, haha."
Lin Nan listened. I don’t know what Liu Yifei meant, “That’s what he is like. He likes to talk nonsense and his professional skills are not bad.”
After chatting for a while, Liu Yifei was about to die. Lin Nan heard Liu’s mother urging her. Now, filming is about to start.
"Go quickly, let's talk next time when we have time." Lin Nan said proactively.
"Then, okay..."
Liu Yifei didn't say the most important thing yet. Tom jokingly asked her if she was Lin Nan's girlfriend. She was embarrassed at that time. .
"Next time, I'll ask you next time." Liu Yifei muttered and ran to Liu's mother.
……
"Sister Zeng Li, you have to have this concept. There are a total of four you in this movie.
We treat it as you in different time and space. These four you are constantly looping the plot.
One is on a yacht or land, and the other three are on a cruise ship. The three you on the cruise ship are the heroine who wears a black coat and hood to kill people, the heroine who wants to persuade everyone to get off the ship to save people, and the heroine who does nothing after boarding the ship. The heroine who knows nothing.”
The heroines of four time and space will have stories of killing and being killed on the cruise ship.
From the perspective of the heroine in this time and space, the four heroines are divided into two different endings. Their friends in the same time and space also have two endings. The two different endings intersperse with each other.
"Although I've read the script many times for this part, I still need to think more clearly about it," Zeng Li said with a smile.
“Like the Greek god of wind who made a promise to the god of death but failed to fulfill it, the final punishment is to keep pushing the boulder to the top of the mountain, and the boulder keeps rolling down again. This is an endless loop. The heroine also gave the taxi The driver promised, but she had no intention of coming back from the beginning..."
Whenever several people on the cruise ship in the same time and space die, the plot will repeat again, and the bodies of those who died last time will not disappear. , but the last time will disappear, but the blood stains will remain.
“The heroine was accidentally pushed into the sea by her other self and drifted to the beach. She thought she had escaped the horrific and bizarre things on the cruise ship and returned home, but she saw her ‘former self’ facing her. The autistic son lost his temper
She reflected that everything was her fault, and she wanted to kill the 'self' in front of her to make up for the wrong she had done to her son. She was about to go to sea to save her. Friends who play..."
Lin Nan began to express his understanding when writing the script.
“So, she killed the person in front of her who she thought was her past self, put on her clothes and jewelry, and took her child to the beach again. The child realized something was wrong and started crying, and everything started to cycle again. , she still promised the driver but did not reply. She tried to save her son and friend again and again? "
Tian Yu followed Lin Nan's words and said.
“Yes, that’s it!” Lin Nan confirmed Tian Yu’s words.
First update.
Seeking determination.
