Five performances in Luocheng finally ended successfully. The consulate also held a special banquet to celebrate the achievements of all the cast and crew.

They had long passed the news to the embassy, ​​and then sent it back to the country by the embassy, ​​and also received instructions from the country, so this celebration banquet was held.

All parties are very satisfied with the performance of Xinlianxin Art Troupe that exceeded expectations.

As for the next stop, of course, it is Big Apple City, where three performances have been booked there.

There was a short rest for three days in between, so I happened to have a good time wandering around Luocheng.

It would be meaningless if you go to the beach this month, so Liu Qingshan led everyone to visit Hollywood first.

When you go to Hollywood, of course you have to visit the Avenue of Stars. These singers under the trees are chattering and very excited.

"I would have my own stars here as well."

The words of the little stool reveal the inner thoughts of most people.

"Then you have to strive for the development of film, television and songs." Liu Qingshan smiled and patted her little head.

Xiao Tang shook his head: "Then forget it, I'll be content if I can sing a good song."

Liu Qingshan looked at his men and they really had some developments in the music industry, but if you act in movies, let’s forget it. Just like Huanzi and Mr. Teng, unless you act in comedy.

When we came to Hollywood, everyone's other wish was to see how others made movies.

This is also easy to deal with. Hollywood has a special set that is open to tourists and can learn about movies and some special stunt shootings.

So Liu Qingshan asked everyone to sign up for a "cinema trip" and watched a group of people set off in a tram, while he rushed to the Matrix crew.

At present, the main plot of this movie has been filmed and is being produced in post-production.

In the studio, there is also a busy scene, with directors, editors, dubbing and music, etc., all of whom are busy with the work at hand.

Xiao Li was the only one who was playing computer leisurely, playing a small game where Liu Qingshan couldn't name it.

The game scene is very rough and very simple, but Xiao Li plays it with relish, which makes Liu Qingshan unable to help but contempt.

The two major investors in this movie have all been collected today.

Xiao Li Shi didn't often show up. This was the first time Liu Qingshan came to the crew. If Liu Qingshan hadn't been a little famous in this country, he would probably have been driven out as a passerby.

I shook hands with the director and producer and other things and exchanged greetings. The sample was just completed in the initial inspection, so everyone sat in the small screening room to watch.

The director was still the original Wachowski brothers. They were very satisfied with this film and also praised Liu Qingshan.

After all, Liu Qingshan is both an investor and the main screenwriter of this movie.

Needless to say, the plot and other things are very novel. In terms of action design, we hired Brother Long's team to break out of the original fighting in Hollywood for several streets.

Brother Long's performances were also outstanding, and several starring actors such as Neo were also distinctive.

When the screening ended, both the director and the producer were smiling and obviously very satisfied.

It was the first time that Xiao Li watched a movie, and he was also very excited: "Oh, it's great, the plot of the fight is so handsome!"

While talking, he was still chewing, but he didn't have the steel wire hanging, so of course he couldn't achieve the effect in the movie.

Moreover, this guy is spending money all day, his foundation is a little empty. When he kicks up, he kicks a little high, and his other foot cannot support him, so he leans back.

I guess I have to have an intimate contact with the ground on the back of my head.

Amid Xiao Li's scream, he suddenly stretched out a foot and gently placed it on Xiao Li's back.

It was Liu Qingshan who made a move in time to avoid Xiao Li’s embarrassment.

I saw Liu Qingshan’s foot flickering slightly, Xiao Li’s body immediately stood up, and then looked at Liu Qingshan with an incredible look: “Oh, Liu, you should be the male lead in this drama.”

"Excellent!" The director brothers and others also applauded. This is really not flattery. Just like them, they didn't react at all.

Liu Qingshan waved his hand and asked, "What do you think of this movie?"

"It's very good, the box office is at least 200 million." Xiao Li was very optimistic.

The director brother nodded, and it seemed that he agreed very much.

Liu Qingshan asked back: "Then how much is our investment?"

Xiao Li blinked: "The total investment is about 1.5 billion."

After saying that, he also understood a little. If he calculated this way, he might have to lose money.

After all, the box office requires multiple companies to share the accounts, including theaters, issuers, etc., and it would be good if their investors could get half of it in the end.

Even if you sell audio-visual products, plus distribution outside Shanghai, if the box office is 200 million yuan, then at most you can guarantee the capital.

"Liu, what do you think?"

Xiao Li could only ask Liu Qingshan for advice. He believed in Liu Qingshan's eyesight and problem-solving ability.

No one despises Liu Qingshan from the director brothers and producers. Everyone is an insider and knows Liu Qingshan's deeds.

Not to mention anything else, the two movies are the ones who are the ones in the family, and together, the box office exceeds 500 million, which is not something that ordinary people can do.

The originally unknown Hurricane Audio and Video Company is about to go bankrupt, and it has also gotten out of the predicament and its valuation has increased significantly.

Of course, people who can achieve this kind of achievement are not movie idiots, or even masters of production and creativity, so everyone wants to hear Liu Qingshan's opinions.

Liu Qingshan nodded to the people: "It is undeniable that this is a movie above the level. Thank you for your hard work."

This must be explained first, otherwise you will find a lot of faults when you come up, and your efforts will be wasted. Even if you don’t say it, you won’t feel happy.

"But I want to compare with everyone and compare with the Terminator?" Liu Qingshan then raised another question.

People just thought for a moment and shook their heads: Although they thought this movie was pretty good, it was definitely a little inferior to the Terminator.

This is true, it is impossible not to admit it.

Liu Qingshan continued to ask, "Well, everyone has thought about it, where is the main gap?"

Obviously no one has considered this issue, and everyone has begun to think about it seriously.

After a while, the brother of the director brother said: "I think there is still a lack of the kind of scene that can be very shocking in the Terminator."

Especially for an action movie, if there is no exciting shot that can be remembered by the audience, it will definitely not be considered a success.

Often when viewers talk about a certain film, the one or two of the most exciting scenes are the ones and two of them.

Just like in the Terminator, when T-800 appears, thunder rolls, and when the smoke dissipates, T-800 is naked and kneels on the ground, the scene is quite shocking.

There is also the classic I-will-be-bak, which tells the audience: I will be back!

And now this Matrix obviously lacks such a burst point.

After listening to it, others nodded and praised it. It was like a song, and the overall level was OK, but there was no climax part of the song, so they always felt that it was a little bit worse.

Liu Qingshan snapped his fingers and said, "OK, what we need to do now is how to solve this problem."

"We need a classic shot that the audience can always talk about when discussing this movie in the future, that is, the soul of this movie."

Everyone also began to be excited. If this could be done, it would be possible that the box office would double again.

However, everyone quickly calmed down. After a year and a half of shooting, everyone in each position did their best.

If there were better ideas, it would have been researched long ago.

So in the end, everyone's eyes were all gathered on Liu Qingshan.

Liu Qingshan asked the editor to return the sample and found a clip. It was a scene where the protagonist fired against each other with a gun. Both sides could dodge each other's bullets, and the shooting was already very cool.

"It's here." When the screen is frozen, Liu Qingshan pointed to the screen:

"Can you add a special stunt? When the protagonist avoids the bullet, he displays the trajectory of the bullet in the screen, just like this."

He asked someone to find a piece of paper and briefly drew a sketch. The protagonist leaned back with an iron bridge. The bullet shot out from his opponent's muzzle, with a spiral trajectory, and then flew over the top of the protagonist's nose.

Liu Qingshan looked at the paper: "We can call this stunt Bullet Time. If we can make it, it will become an eternal classic in this movie."

"Bullet Time, this name is so cool." Xiao Li turned around excitedly, then remembered something:

"But, making movies is not drawing comics, and such shots cannot be captured at all."

Even the layman Xiao Li knew the difficulties, let alone directors and other experts. Everyone was happy and worried.

I'm glad that this is definitely a classic idea.

What I worry about is that there is no way to achieve it, just like a beggar who can see the delicious food in the window, but can't eat it.

"If it's not difficult, how can you create a classic?"

Liu Qingshan's eyes were bright and he looked at everyone in the team.

Everyone was also aroused by him, and Xiao Li also smashed his fist hard to express his determination: "This shot is worth ten million, we will pay for this money!"

The director brother even waved his fists: "That's right, we must shoot the bullet time!"

As directors, they certainly hope that the film will be more successful.

Seeing that everyone's enthusiasm was mobilized, Liu Qingshan said:

"In theory, I think it's possible. When I was in college at UCLA, I took photography elective."

Because of Hollywood, UCLA is also very famous for photography.

Everyone listened to Liu Qingshan's speech carefully: "This is when I was listening to a professor's lecture. If we place one hundred and twenty cameras accurately on a route set by the computer tracking system."
