Chapter 503
(100 monthly tickets will be updated, and there will be updates later, and it will be explosive!)
After seeing Lin Han's Weibo, Zhou Kai couldn't help but wail on the bed in the dormitory, "Why should I let me know this news? I have to wait until the winter vacation to see Teacher Lin's new book, and it's a short story!"
In order to warm up his movies during the Spring Festival, Lin Han must have released the novel at that time. He never thought that his hardcore fans would complain.
"I said Kaizi, why are you making a blow? Come down and start black. We still have a jungler." Li Wei, a roommate who was playing games at the computer desk below, looked up and shouted.
Zhou Kai turned over and climbed down from the bed. He sighed and said, "It's Teacher Lin's "Immortality" that was actually adapted from his own short story, but he has never taken it out for us to show it. I don't know why it is scheduled for February."
Li Wei said without looking back: "Hahaha, let you read books quickly, there are no books now. I'm slow to read, and there are still several books waiting for me!"
In college, Lin Han's science fiction novels have become the most popular after-school reading material. Many people like to buy a book of his novels, slowly in libraries or cafes
Before we knew it, many girls also became Lin Han's readers. In order to pursue girls, a group of men joined in. After the reputation became good, almost every reader spontaneously spread it to friends around him!
Facing Lin Han's Weibo, Zhou Kai had no other choice but to sigh. Who told him to chase Lin Han's books from the beginning, and after reading one chapter after another, he was now in a waste of books.
Lin Han's screenwriter skills, coupled with his science fiction novel as the original work, many readers who were worried about "Immortality" were relieved. Under this pair of insurance, the quality should not be a problem!
Zhou Kai, who turned on the computer, did not play games, but logged in to the Hanlin Academy forum. He wanted to know if there were any great masters in the forum who could reveal the specific content of this novel.
"Science fiction novels about immortality? I read a Weibo account before. I said it was related to biology. Could it be true?"
"Go and ask the blogger, maybe there will be big information!"
"Hey, after Mr. Lin finished writing "Red Rose and White Rose", would he have to take a vacation and not publish a short story in February. Have you not written anything for such a long time?"
"It's better to let Teacher Lin take a break. He has written six or seven books a year. Which writer is as hardworking as him? I plan to read out all the books that Teacher Lin wrote before, and maybe I will have some new feelings."
"Alas, in the days without the company of new books, I am like a walking dead soulless person!"
"Have you ever thought about how a workaholic like Teacher Lin could take such a long rest? I think he either made "Immortality" by himself or was writing a new book. Which one do you think is more likely?"
Although Lin Han did not accept interviews frequently, readers are familiar with his personality. It is still a long time since now and February that it is impossible to take a vacation.
As soon as this view was put forward, it was recognized by the majority of book friends!
"I think I must be filming "Immortality". He was the director of the movie before, and now he is a reasonable thing to go back and make a lot of money."
"I'm more worried now whether the script will be too thin, after all, it's just adapted from a short story?"
"If it were director Lin Han, I would definitely support it, and it would be fine if I could brush two or three!"
"Same as above, maybe Teacher Lin is playing with the tickets, and after playing the movie, he will come back to write novels."
"There are too few clues on the Internet. Zhuo Wei, who exposed that someone else had cheating, would be depressed if he exposed these serious content!"
"There are no domestic science fiction movies to watch. If it is filmed, I will definitely go to the cinema to support it!"
"That's right, now all science fiction movies are from Hollywood. Teacher Lin has made them out, and just feelings have to make money."
These readers do not have much disgust. First of all, Lin Han did not officially announce that he was the director. On the other hand, the lack of domestic science fiction films is very serious. They urgently hope that someone can come in and fill this gap!
...
The hot discussion among readers did not completely calm down after a few days, but the reporters who wanted to wait for the opportunity had to give up.
Although Lin Han is indeed a hot topic, he can't interview him if he doesn't appear. It's better to go and squat the rest of the people!
Lin Han drove out at this time, and he took the script back to the apartment he had lived in before, where he was preparing to shoot the movie.
The advantage of using your own house to film is that it has no cost and can be arranged as you wish. Anyway, there is less time to live here, so just find a housekeeping company to deal with it if it is messed up.
The house that hasn't lived in for a long time still looks clean. People come here to clean every week. Everything is the same as before, much more home-friendly than a temporary studio!
The knock on the door made Lin Han come to his senses. He opened the door and saw a strange face following Wang Hao, who was pushing a suitcase.
"This is what I'm talking about. Zhang Chengzheng, a good guy. He has been a lighting engineer for more than ten years and is very experienced." Wang Hao introduced that they are the people from the behind-the-scenes production team who come to the shooting location first to check the spots, see how to turn on the lights and how to take the camera. These are things that must be done before shooting.
Lin Han reached out and shook Zhang Chengzheng. He smiled and said, "Hello, I am Lin Han, hurry in and talk."
"I can often hear your name, and it must be very interesting to work with you." Zhang Chengzheng was not a shy person either, he soon became familiar with Lin Han.
"I hope you don't change your mind like this in the future. I am a tyrant on the set."
Lin Han pointed to the sofa over there, "Most of the scenes in the movie are performed in this living room. We don't have a setter. Do you think this pattern needs to change?"
While talking, Wang Hao had already set up the camera he brought with him and was adjusting the position at this time. Zhang Chengzheng spread his hands: "The lamp I rented has not arrived yet, and it is estimated that there will be half an hour."
The money must be paid by Lin Han, but they chose the model they rented.
Lighting artists are also indispensable roles in film production. They are usually composed of a group of people. Lighting artists arrange lighting according to the requirements of directors and cameramen, and assistants are roles for working, supporting lamps, and making boards are commonplace!
In the industry, lighting artists are often called "Ling Master". Whether an actor looks good on camera or not, they must first look at the lighting artist, not the photographer. Actors who are familiar with it will have a good relationship with the lighting artist, otherwise the faces of the characters photographed may be sallow or dark.
Before the filming, director Lin Han started discussing with the two of them with a storyboard script, how to shoot each scene, what is the light requirements, and at least the face of each character should be clearly visible, and no one can reveal half of the face.
After a while of discussion, the rented lamps were finally delivered. The rent of these tools is not cheap. The lamps are 500 yuan a day, the two cameras are 700 yuan a day, and the on-site recorder is also very expensive, so Lin Han hopes to complete the shooting as soon as possible, otherwise the investment of 100,000 yuan is really not enough!
There were no actors here, but the few of them discussed it very fiercely. Wang Hao's photography skills were unexpected and were no worse than those of professionals. Zhang Chengzheng also had rich experience. When Lin Han, a novice director, was negligent, he corrected some ugly shadows, underexposed or overexposed, and insufficient light.
Just as we were preparing, the time came to November 21, which is the start-up shooting time booked by "Immortality"!
Of course, Lin Han did not hold a start-up ceremony or something with great fanfare, he was not that high-profile.
The filming was originally scheduled to start at 9 o'clock, but it turned out that it was only around 8 o'clock. Xu Jiayan came to the scene early with his script with his makeup artist. The Peking University professors seemed to have made an appointment and arrived a lot in advance.
"Professor Kong, Professor Deng, you guys are early! This is the starring role of the movie. Xu Jiayan, who will play against you later, can now match the lines, rehearse, and strive for it once!"
Lin Han's house became lively. Peking University professors looked at the script one by one, and the makeup artists who were temporarily invited quickly put on makeup. The small room was full of busy figures.
The story of this movie is very unique, but it is not complicated to shoot, so Xu Jiayan is brewing emotions at this moment. Other professors are all acting in their true colors. He must show his acting skills!
"Kobayashi, do you have to say these lines intact?" Kong Daochun found Lin Han with the script. His presbyopia glasses were mounted on the bridge of his nose, looking a little anxious.
Of course, Lin Han didn't expect these experts to remember it word for word. He said, "Of course not. You can make appropriate modifications, but the scope cannot exceed the lines of the script, and the meaning is probably the same."
Kong Daochun breathed a sigh of relief, "That's fine, people are old, and their memory is not as good as you young people."
As for Xu Jiayan, he had no ability to improvise lines in the field of science, so he could only recite them all. At this moment, Lin Han pulled him to the balcony, "Old Xu, when the shooting is taken later, you will control the rhythm, and you will take them."
"Don't worry, let me leave this to you!" Xu Jiayan still has this confidence. People with strong acting skills can infect people around them and then take them into the show.
Among these actors, the ones who have really had acting experience are Xu Jiayan and two other women, one of whom is a girl from the Performance Department found from the Huaxia Drama Academy to play the role of a student. There are basically no lines, just background boards.
Another one is the lover who plays the protagonist, who has always believed in what the protagonist said. She is a reinforcement invited by Chen Jiaxuan and is not a famous third-tier TV drama actor in the entertainment industry.
After all the preparations were ready, Lin Han began to direct the idle people around him to exit the camera range.
