Entertainment, I only like to make movies

imperial capital.

Tiangong Yicai Technology Co., Ltd.

Fang Ziheng was dressed in military green casual clothes, paired with a pair of black straight-leg pants, and wore a black peaked cap on his head. Accompanied by Xiao Yang, Fang Ziheng inspected various departments to check the progress of the special effects of "Edge of Tomorrow" and the status of 3D conversion.

The National Day file came to an end. After the holiday, several big-selling movies returned to calm. The guns in the hands of the media were temporarily blocked, and they secretly searched for movies with high attention in the Lunar New Year file.

"Edge of Tomorrow", with a total investment of 2.5 million, is naturally the top priority.

The news of the 3D conversion of the film has been blocked by Hengyu Media, and no relevant information has been disclosed to the outside.

"Avatar" turned out at the beginning of the year, and after it swept the world's major ticket warehouses with superb 3D technology, there was a wave of 3D craze all over the world.

The same is true for the Chinese-language film market. Many filmmakers talk about 3D and close their mouths for special effects, keeping up with the trend of 3D.

The voices of the audience are also very high, and they are happily looking forward to the release of 3D blockbusters, hoping that Huaguo movies can keep up with the pace of Hollywood.

According to the 2010 3D movie research report, the global 3D movie box office TOP10 is listed!

The United States tops the list: $20 billion.

Little Days came in second: $4.71 million.

The United Kingdom is third: $4.28 million.

France fourth: $3.65 million.

Russia fifth: $3.36.

Huaguo came in sixth, with 3D grosses of $2.89 million.

Now is Germany, which ranks seventh: $2.80 million.

Australia No. 2.36: $[-] million.

Italy ranked ninth: $2.16 million.

Canada 1.95th: $[-] million.

In 2010, the global 3D box office totaled more than 50 billion US dollars!

The hot wave of 3D even reached the World Cup in South Africa in June. Many countries used 6D projection halls to broadcast the event in order to gain popularity.

This is even more so in the movie market. Adding 3D production to a movie can not only bring new enthusiasm and gimmicks, but also raise ticket prices and let audiences enter IMAX theaters.

In a short period of time, 3D technology has set off a wave of innovation in the world.

And back to the movie itself, the real situation is far from the case!
The domestic 3D martial arts film "Su Qier" was released in February, and two Hollywood blockbusters "Alice in Wonderland" and "Clash of the Titans" were released in March.

After June, the domestic 3D cartoon "Super Silicon Warrior" will be released, and five Hollywood movies "Dragon Agent", "Cat and Dog War", "Inception" and "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" will be released.

Among many 3D movies, only "Inception" has reached a high level of 3D effect, which makes the audience more satisfied.

The other movies are all big pens.

Fake products, fake 3D, cheating money, the audience scolded, wishing to kill the main creator and producer of the movie.

As a result of the shoddy production, the audience's interest in 3D movies has gradually declined, especially after hearing "conversion to 3D", the desire to watch movies has disappeared at all.

"Edge of Tomorrow" is converted to 3D, and the conversion fee is 5000 million, which can achieve 3% of the actual 75D effect.

Now that the movie has not been completed, this news must be kept secret first, and the outside world and opponents cannot be given the opportunity to bring rhythm.

In addition to China Film and Wanda, Hua Yi, who also invested in Tiangong Yicai, knows something about it.

Outside the office corridor.

Fang Ziheng looked at the busy employees inside, and asked Xiao Yang: "Mr. Xiao, how is the transformation going?"

"At present, it is relatively smooth. The special effects of "Edge of Tomorrow" are not too many. We put most of our energy and time into 3D conversion."

Xiao Yang responded with a smile, his slightly tired expression seemed very relaxed, pointed to the two renderers inside and said: "Director, look, that is the [-]D image renderer for conversion, and the shots shot before are in the final process .”

"In order to catch up with the progress and maintain the shooting progress for a month, we, Tiangong Yicai, have been recruiting and buying horses, even discussing with China Film Digital and Double Vision Technology, and handing over a simple content to several other special effects companies in China.

Director, you don’t know that there are more than 5000 people working on special effects in China, of which 2200 are involved in the production of “Edge of Tomorrow”, 600 are in charge of special effects production, and 1600 are in charge of 3D conversion. "

Fang Ziheng nodded and said: "On the premise of ensuring the quality, speed up the progress as soon as possible, and it is best to complete it before mid-December."

"Don't be afraid to spend money, you can add more if the cost is not enough!"

2200 people participated in the post-production of "Edge of Tomorrow". For such a large project, 5000 million is definitely not enough, and he has already made plans to increase the cost.

Compared with the high production cost, the time spent is the bulk of the movie.

If it hadn't been scheduled for a Lunar New Year release, Fang Ziheng would definitely have extended the time and put "Edge of Tomorrow" in next summer.

Fortunately, there are not many special effects shots in "Edge of Tomorrow". Three-quarters of the shots shot every day are real shots. After being sent to three special effects companies, 3D conversion can start on the same day.

"Don't worry, the director, we will definitely take the time to ensure the quality of the movie without delaying the release date!"

Hearing that the big boss was willing to increase the money, Xiao Yang was overjoyed, and said on the spot that there was no problem.

With that posture, he was almost afraid of getting on his chest himself.

10 month 7 number.

On the last day of the holiday, the crew of "Edge of Tomorrow" gathered again.

On the coast of the East China Sea, Zhoushan!
On the beach near the military port, a large number of locations have been set up.

In the abandoned town behind the beach, the main road in the middle of the town was completely paved, and two fake military aircraft runways were arranged in a decent manner.

The Supreme Military Department's application order came down, agreeing to the request of the "Edge of Tomorrow" crew, and the Southeast Military Region will fully support the filming of the film.

Speaking of this matter, it is really thanks to China Film and Director Han.

Before the National Day, Han Dong and Fang Ziheng invited Deng Wendi to Beijing and invited her to watch a half-hour finished film of "Edge of Tomorrow".

After Deng Wendi finished watching the film, without a word, he called out the full overseas copyright of 2500 million US dollars.

2500 million dollars!

One of the highest copyright fees for Chinese-language films exported overseas.

If Fang Ziheng agrees, 1.7 million soft sister coins can be recovered in an instant, which means that "Edge of Tomorrow" has recovered most of the cost before it was released.

Fang Ziheng refused!

Proposed the way of global release and overseas share!
And I assured Deng Wendi that the final effect of the film will only be better than the half-hour film she saw.

Deng Wendi thought for a while, and verbally agreed.

At the same time, she also put forward a request. She had to see all the finished films before making a decision on the strength of the overseas publicity of "Edge of Tomorrow".

In this way, the three parties hit it off and set a strategy for the global release of "Edge of Tomorrow".

The next day, Director Han sent a second application report to the higher authorities!

An application conveyed by the leader of the Propaganda Department went straight to the highest military department.

Edge of Tomorrow!
A movie filmed by the director of Huaguo, with Huaguo soldiers participating, and Huaguo soldiers saving the world, is released worldwide!
Audiences all over the world can watch this movie at the end of 2010 in the Lunar New Year file.

This is a big deal!
Not only is it to show the strength of the country to the billions of people in China, but it can also let the world's tens of billions of people and people from all over the world feel the military power of China.

2010 years!
The reform and opening up has entered No.30 years, the country's economy has developed rapidly, and the people's material living standards have improved significantly.

At this point in time, countries around the world have different opinions on the national strength of China!

It just so happens that through a movie, the muscles of Huaguo are shown off, and people's views of Huaguo are quietly changed in a gentle and silent way.

Maybe the effect is not good, maybe it's a chicken-and-egg fight, maybe it's a joke.

but..
Some things need to be done and proved!

In addition, send a video of the aircraft carrier that can be disseminated to the outside world for the post-production of "Edge of Tomorrow".

Fang Ziheng was excited when he received the notification!

Not only him, but the whole crew went into fantasy and high court.

After reviewing the script and conceiving the screen shots, Fang Ziheng found that although the number of warships and fighter planes is still insufficient, as long as the post-production modeling is doubled, the expected shooting effect can be achieved.

The video provided by the military and the appearance data of a lot of weapons really saved a lot of time in post-production.

Ten o'clock in the morning!

All departments are ready.

Fang Ziheng, Ning Ruoshui, Hao Yi, and Wen Muye, Ning Hao, Han Dong, and Su Lun who rushed over to help had a military walkie-talkie.

Cheng Xiaodong, Sang Lin, and Wu Jing, the three military leaders, the heads of various departments of the crew, and the twelve military representatives who took part in the filming also held walkie-talkies, with serious expressions and ready for battle.

Fang Ziheng and Ning Ruoshui stood on a temporary high platform.

In front of them, six monitors lined up, connecting 12 special teams, fighter planes, warships, officers and soldiers performing group exercises, rows of amphibious armored vehicles about to enter the sea, and an artillery regiment placed in the town behind.

The middle monitor was aimed at the upstream shore.

Where is the base of the military port, the coastal defense force and the shore-to-ship missiles are loaded and ready to launch at any time.

"Report, unit one is ready!"

"Report, Unit [-] is ready!"

"Report, Unit [-] is ready!"

"The NO.12 machine is ready!"

Six monitors, one lift docking with two camera positions, six aerial photography helicopters, and six push mirrors for close-range shooting.

In order to attack him, Fang Ziheng mobilized all the photographers under Hengyu!
A total of 18 full-time photographers from the film production department and the film and television production department all participated in the battle, and several of them were the heads of the photography department of the crew.

The reports came one by one, and the entire crew was ready to start!
Soon, Ning Ruoshui's resounding and resounding voice rang out from the walkie-talkie.

Ning Ruoshui was dressed in a camouflage combat uniform, with a heroic and unparalleled beauty.

After receiving the report.

She slowly nodded to Fang Ziheng, and said softly with her jade lips: "Director Fang, we can start shooting!"

"I see."

Fang Ziheng's eyes were condensed, he turned to look at the blue sky, put the walkie-talkie to his mouth, and shouted loudly: "Everyone take your place!"

"All departments prepare!"

"Actor is ready!"

"No.80 eight games, one first shot!"

"start!"

One order!
The huge shooting battlefield was extremely vivid in an instant, and a vigorous, mighty and concise momentum filled the entire coast.

buzzing..
Six Wuzhi helicopters took off and flew to six different directions of the shooting battlefield, taking all the pictures by aerial photography.

Ding Deng Deng..
There was a sound on the compact and rhythmic steps.

In monitor No. 1, seven warships on the military port were activated at the same time!
8000 officers and soldiers performed in full armor and mounted the transport plate armor magnificently.

At the forefront of them, 12 special teams including Liu Ye, Deng Chao, and Liu Qianqian led 360 1.8-meter-tall ensemble soldiers to board the ship first.

Everyone is wearing an all-color exoskeleton, holding a jet-black high-tech weapon with a metallic luster.

Fang Ziheng did not play in person this time, but returned to directing and sat in front of the monitor.

He played Li Mu, and a soldier acted as a stand-in to help him complete the battle.

Boom
Boom
In the town behind, 72 cannons fired at the same time!
Under the camera, thigh-thick cannonballs soared into the sky with long tongues of flame, passing through countless air waves under the blue sky, and finally blasted down to the sea a few kilometers away.

"Mobile No. 2, push the camera up!"

"Aircraft No. 3, don't shake the aerial camera!"

Fang Ziheng looked serious, and quickly gave the shooting order, and at the same time came to the front of the No. 2 monitor to watch the screen.

This shooting is one of the four famous scenes in the movie!

He wasn't worried about the performance of the military, it was nothing more than a relatively compact act.

What he was really worried about was that the camera didn't capture the shocking picture in time, and he had to start all over again.

You know, when the cannon is fired, ten thousand taels of gold!

Even if it is an empty shell, it will cost money to shoot too much!
bang bang bang ..
bang bang bang ..
After half of the base shells were emptied, the supporting artillery regiment completed the task, and the first shot was shot.

call.
Fang Ziheng breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, luck is on my side!
No. 2 and 3 cameras were out of order, and they perfectly filmed the scene of the bombardment.

The filming continued without any pause.

Fang Ziheng picked up the walkie-talkie and gave instructions to units 1 and 4.

This time, the military followed his request and performed drills one after another. The time was not in a hurry, and he was given enough time to shoot.

The military didn't ask for anything else, just one principle!
Don't have fearless failures, it's best to finish it in one shot, and it doesn't matter if they can't, they can do it twice.

Aircraft No. [-], Naval Port!
Unit [-], Beach Blast!

The information of the two aerial cameras was transmitted, and two images appeared on the monitor.

The seven warships completed their start-up and left the port slowly.

Twelve special operations teams stood at the forefront of the deck, looking into the depths of the ocean with their faces sinking into the water and their eyes full of spirit.

In the depths of the ocean to the east is the aliens' Eastern Route Army base, and they are here to destroy this base and disperse the aliens' Eastern Route Army.

Seven warships broke out of the water, aggressively, and with unrivaled belief, they rushed to the depths of the East China Sea.

The whistle of the warplane sounded!
Fang Ziheng's heart moved, and he pressed the walkie-talkie and said loudly: "Aerial photography team, capture the arc of the missile's ballistic jump, it must be clear!"

"understand!"

As soon as the words fell, 120 fighter planes took off at high speed on the four warships.

The leading 12 fighters swooped down suddenly, then rolled over the fuselage and fired at the same time.

Choo Choo Choo.
24 small missiles were fired at the same time, piercing the sky and leaping across the endless sea, shooting into the depths of the ocean.

After flying several kilometers at high speed, the missile cocked its tail mischievously, made a sharp zigzag turn, and then fired in different directions at a faster speed.

This scene is extremely shocking!

Fang Ziheng stared at the monitor, feeling an indescribable satisfaction and pride in his heart.

The prosperous age of Huaguo has really arrived!
.........

嘭轰
嘭轰
Da da da..
On the beach, the blasting team detonated the explosion point.

Dust was flying, and gunpowder smoke filled the air.

In the beach position, another group of soldiers who had already been prepared came out of the trenches and took weapons to shoot at the sea and the sky.

This section of the shot is mainly to capture the heroic and fearless momentum of the Chinese soldiers and the spirit of fighting to the death.

The aliens knew that Huaguo was going to counterattack them, and when the warships went overseas, they sent a large group of troops to land and attack.

Fortunately, our side had already made preparations and ambushed on the beach in advance!
Our personnel blocked them layer by layer, burst out the spirit of swearing to death, and tried their best to block the sneak attacking aliens and buy time for the attacking warships.

Of course, the shots couldn't show aliens, so we had to use green scenery and special effects to complete the sea battle in the later stage.

In addition, the shooting procedure and the military's exercise schedule this time are not consistent with the shots presented in the final movie.

The plot, picture, and rhythm also need to be rearranged through post-editing to achieve the best visual effect.

"Edge of Tomorrow" has a total of four large-scale famous scenes!
The first one has been filmed, the evening before the counterattack of the military base!

The second is this military port. The armed forces of the sea, land and air have strengthened their counter-offensive, and the East Route Army of hard steel aliens is facing them.

The third famous scene is also one of the biggest breaking points of the movie!

The soldiers of the Chinese state made a comprehensive attack, and millions of troops marched across the Yangtze River and towards the alien West Route Army.

This shot will be shot next week, and the shooting location is downstream of the Wuhan Bridge, the third important location.

As for the last famous scene, it will be created by the special operations team.

In one battle, destroy the Alien Earth Headquarters Base!
