Chapter 59 Can this movie be made like this?(1/2)
China has been imported for 14 years and still has fifty-two movies.
There is no change from last year.
However, compared to last year, Hollywood movies in March this year seem to have received mediocre responses after they landed in China, and several of them even failed in box office.
Of course, these are all small costs and small productions, and the failure of the Chinese box office will not affect its profitability.
Anyway...
Huaxia is just their channel.
A few Chinese movies in March appeared.
Ma Guangbei, the once ambition director of "Lei Zhenzi", finally gave up the idea of "Entering the Gods Universe".
He felt that this IP could not be done, so he continued to shoot suspense films he was good at...
Then……
"Thunder", which invested 20 million yuan, was released in early March, and achieved a good result of 8 million yuan on the first day.
Although this movie is not a super production, Ma Guangbei is still quite satisfied with this result...
At least, this year's Golden Broom Awards can't be taken to the scene to show off again, right?
In addition to Ma Guangbei, Li Guyang, director of "Bronze Bird Tower", has also begun to rejuvenate his career.
Continuing to play in the Three Kingdoms theme, filmed a movie called "Double Shadows" and invited Deng Lunchao and Li Nan and his wife to star in it...
As soon as this movie came out, it received a lot of praise. Many people said that Li Guyang is a dead tree. After the premiere of the movie, Li Guyang even announced that the movie was shortlisted for the London International Film Festival in the UK...
Deng Lunchao was one of the nominees for the award...
Although this award...
Many people have never heard of it.
but……
It's also an award, right?
The Chinese film industry in early March allowed many people to see that the sparks of Chinese films have gradually burned.
seem……
Many directors have officially abandoned their former impetuousness and began to seriously devote themselves to film production.
certainly……
Many filmmakers are still not optimistic about Chinese movies.
They believe that March is the month to be abandoned by Hollywood movies. Hollywood orthodox blockbusters will not be arranged at the beginning of the year, and they are basically chosen in the summer vacation or October.
Moreover, in April, there is a Hollywood superhero movie "Wolf Man" to be released...
It's too early to be optimistic now.
There are many different opinions in the Chinese film industry, and they are all waiting for April to arrive...
certainly……
No one knew that in Hollywood, Fang Long fought to the death for a long time and finally pulled Mr. Orr's cousin, and then he persuaded to pull the cousin to China and officially started the filming of "Police Story 2".
………………………………………………………………………………
Shen Lang didn't care what was going on in the film industry. Even after Fang Long and Shen Lang called and talked about some Hollywood things, as well as the shooting details and future strategies of "Police Story 2", Shen Lang just nodded...
There is no surprise.
everything……
Everything seemed to be under his control.
At this moment...
He devoted himself to the filming of "The Myth of Transformation".
March 18th.
"Puchi, puchi, puchi..."
On the aisle...
An accident car staggered into the repair shop.
"Brother Lang, can such a car be OK?"
"It's good...it's OK."
"That……"
Shen Lang's eyes lit up after watching the staff drive a Dongfeng accident car that was hit with a twisted front.
The quality of this car looks really good.
After being knocked like this, it can still be opened, and it seems that the stability is OK.
Shen Lang nodded very satisfied.
This is what he wants!
All the props in the first scene are in place!
The first scene is ready to be filmed!
Just as Shen Lang finished inspecting the crew and returned to the office to start writing the project plan, Li Yu walked in with a group of people with a very serious expression.
In the office.
Shen Lang looked at these people.
"Director Shen, we just held a simple shooting meeting. Although it has not been involved yet, this point is very important..."
"What?" Shen Lang looked at Li Yu strangely.
He rarely sees Li Yu's expression like this.
"Director Shen, write according to the scale of your script. We need a place to shoot the real scene blasting. If you use a model, you can shoot it, but it lacks a little realism... However, if you don't use a model, the project is very large... We just discussed for a long time and felt that if you use a model and a special effect, you should make up for this kind of realism. However, in this regard, you need to communicate with the special effects department of Mr. Chen... The special effects department may be under great pressure..." Li Yu carefully wrote the content of his analysis on A4 paper and handed it to Shen Lang.
“…”
Shen Lang closed his eyes after reading the A4 paper.
The original world's "Transformers" seems to have partially exploded designs, which are indeed practical models and special effects designs.
Now, let’s recall that the renderings of the original world’s "Transformers" were very good, and there was little sense of incongruity.
This is not a big problem...
However, there are all shortcomings.
When Shen Lang thought of this, he opened his eyes.
"Uncle Li, what if you use a real house?"
"What? Real house?"
"Yes, the explosion plot is all real, and the explosion in the first scene is still important."
"You wouldn't have thought that Bieber Helen was building a blasting city directly? If that were the case, the movie would be seriously overspent..." Li Yu frowned when he heard this.
In fact, blockbusters also have blockbusters.
This movie is not an ordinary movie, there are many big scenes in this movie.
In fact, aside from the background design at the beginning of the movie, the real plot of this movie is actually very simple.
That is the story of an unsatisfactory young man following a Dongfeng sports car to carry out a series of counterattacks and ultimately saving the human world.
If you only read the script, after reading it, in addition to the amazing background series of settings, Li Yu felt that the story of this movie was just that, far less amazing than Shen Lang's previous movie "The World Only God Knows".
The main selling point of this movie is not the plot, but the mythological history that makes people think about it and perfectly integrate it. There are also various dazzling and exciting deformation designs. In addition, what is more important is a series of special effects scenes and large scenes...
Some of them prefer some industrial films in Hollywood, but they seem to have more reflective things than Hollywood's industrial films, which is considered a very good innovation.
Get back to the point.
If a movie is to be well made, it needs a sense of reality!
Especially the larger the scene, the more you need this sense of reality.
In order to pursue this sense of reality, many Hollywood movies even choose to build a hospital or create a scene for partial explosion...
but……
It is obvious that if a battle scene like "Transformers" is directly physical without using a model.
What a joke...
Investment is enough to shoot?
"Well... I hope this movie will be the pinnacle of Chinese movies. I hope it can be handled very well. If real buildings can be used, then real buildings must be used... As for the movie overspending..." Shen Lang narrowed his eyes and said, "Let's do this, leave this matter to me for the time being. You go and rest first. The filming will officially start tomorrow. Many things will be very busy..."
"Well...Director Chen, you'll have a break early, and you haven't seen each other for a few months, and you seem to have lost a lot of weight..."
To be continued...
