Director: The special effects are too expensive, so I had to make real shots

Chapter 204 Explosions are film art, but not only explosions
[Movie "Oppenheimer"] v: "The actors are in place, the props are in place, the scene is in place, and the film has entered the official shooting stage. Let me show you some studio photos to satisfy your hunger. [Set photo.jpg] x9 sheets."

With the film "Oppenheimer" officially started shooting a week later.

The film crew released the set photos of the first wave of filming.

Among them are mainly the corner of the nuclear test town, the daily shooting and makeup of Hollywood famous actors, etc.

But for netizens who are looking forward to "Oppenheimer", these are already very much expected movie materials. Of course, for the vast majority of netizens, they naturally hope to see the real " main character".

That's right, it's the movie nuclear prop.

However, this time, Xu Nuo did not allow the film crew to officially release the true appearance of the film's nuclear props. One is that this thing is actually not in Xu Nuo's hands. After all, it is a nuclear bomb. The Science and Technology Agency and the American Nuclear Research Institute will definitely not release This thing was handed over to Xu Nuo.

The fact that Xu Nuo owns it means that Xu Nuo can use it to actually shoot the scene of the explosion.

No, after Xu Nuo officially started filming "Oppenheimer", the Department of Science and Technology told Xu Nuo that in a month's time, he would be ready to detonate this movie nuclear prop.

At that time, let Xu Nuo get ready for filming.

The location of the detonation was finally determined to be near Lop Nur in China.

There is another reason why Xu Nuo did not let Xu Nuo release this lineup of movie nuclear props, and that is for safety reasons, because once the true appearance of this thing is exposed, even though the possibility of it being stolen during the whole process is extremely low, it will not be stolen. Impossible to take that risk.

The Department of Science and Technology stated that after using such a movie core prop, the film studio can release some information about this movie core prop.

After all, this film nuclear prop is of great significance to the domestic and even the entire Blue Star film industry!

It may be the only prop in the history of human film that uses a real nuclear bomb to make a movie.

"'Oppenheimer' is finally starting."

"When will the filming be finished?"

"Did the nuclear bomb go off?"

"Mann Kidd is very temperamental. I have seen photos of Oppenheimer on the Internet, and I have to say that Mann Kidd really looks like him."

"Is this filmed in America? The scene is in the desert."

"Why is Mao going to the United States to shoot? Is there no Gobi desert in our country?"

"It's been a long time since countries in the world have conducted nuclear tests. This time is a rare opportunity. How can we go to an ugly country to shoot?"

"Director Xu is so strong, he was actually able to get a nuclear bomb to actually make a movie. This will definitely be a highlight in film history!"

Netizens are still very happy after seeing the official set photos of "Oppenheimer" crew. The most important thing is that everyone wants to see the non-sci-fi masterpiece shot this time, a biographical film , how wonderful it will be.

Subsequently.

The official crew of the movie "Oppenheimer" took advantage of the opportunity to release the set photos this time, and posted another article about Oppenheimer and the Manhattan Project, as well as the first human nuclear test.

After all, Xu Nuo has a movie task.

Let at least more than 10 billion people understand the history of the birth of the atomic bomb and its use, although Xu Nuo's "Oppenheimer" has already had many hot topics and global popularity before this.

But not everyone knows who Oppenheimer is.

Not everyone knows how the atomic bomb was born, nor was it used for the first time.

Of course, for the first use of this thing, domestic netizens basically know it, and people in small days know it even more.

Ding!
"You have successfully completed [your movie "Oppenheimer" has at least let more than 10 billion people know about the birth of the atomic bomb and the history of its use.] film mission."

When Xu Nuo was filming in the nuclear test town that day, such a system prompt sounded in his mind.

"This task can be regarded as completed."

Xu Nuo couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

In the past period of time, it can be said that My Real Media has made a lot of announcements for the movie "Oppenheimer", and finally let more than one billion people know the history of the atomic bomb.

"You will be rewarded after completing the movie mission: entertainment value +2 points, [basic knowledge of nuclear physics] +1."

After completing this small movie task, Xu Nuo also got the task reward.

2 points of entertainment value is considered as the basic reward for small movie tasks. Sometimes Xu Nuo may only be given a basic reward of 2 points of entertainment value after completing a small movie task.

But this time, in addition to the basic reward of 2 points of entertainment value, there is also a reward of [Basic knowledge of nuclear physics], which is not really a black technology reward.

It is a reward of knowledge type, which Xu Nuo has also received before. For example, the [qubit preparation and control theory and its technology], which is engaged in quantum computers, is knowledge theory and technology.

I have to say that the system is quite thoughtful.

Nuclear physics is not Xu Nuo's major, but with this [basic knowledge of nuclear physics], Xu Nuo can use it for himself, which means that Xu Nuo has a solid foundation in nuclear physics.

With such a solid foundation in nuclear physics, after completing the movie "Oppenheimer" and getting the task reward, after unlocking the controllable nuclear fusion, and Xu Nuo's achievements in cold fusion before, so he participated in the It seems very reasonable in the research of controlled nuclear fusion.

Xu Nuo's goal this time is to make controllable nuclear fusion no longer 50 years later and 50 years later, but to make it a reality within the next five to ten years!

"Director, shall we do it again?"

Just as Xu Nuo was immersed in the system prompts that he had completed the small task of the movie this time, the voices of the crew came from beside his ears.

"Umm, oh okay, let's do that scene again, Mann Kidd, are you ready?"

After Xu Nuo heard the words, he nodded, and then looked at the actor Mann Kidd who played the leading actor Oppenheimer not far away.

Mann Kidd put the hat on again and replied with a smile, "Of course."

In the Gobi desert in the northwest, it is very hot at this time of year, and Oppenheimer sometimes wears a hat, so even if Mann Kidd is hot as an actor, it is time to shoot Hats are also worn when

"Okay, all departments are ready, let's do it again."

Xu Nuo couldn't be more familiar with this sentence.

Because Xu Nuo has made so many films, it is often impossible to shoot a single shot with satisfactory results, so Xu Nuo will shout this sentence every time he shoots it again.

When Xu Nuo was busy shooting here.

Assistant Wen Ruohan received a call on the boss's mobile phone.

The boss Xu Nuo has a habit, that is, when he is serious about filming, he will hand over his mobile phone to his assistant Wen Ruohan for safekeeping. He does not want to be disturbed by the outside world during the filming process.

"Yeah, yes, the boss is shooting, okay, okay, I will definitely pass it on to the boss, okay, goodbye Colonel Luo Wei."

The call Wen Ruohan answered was from Colonel Luo Wei from the Science and Technology Department.

About an hour later.

Xu Nuo finally filmed a scene between Oppenheimer played by Mann Kidd and the commander of the Manhattan Engineering District played by Lucas Dionisio.

This scene is not a big scene, but a conversation between two people in the nuclear test town.

Filming followed in the afternoon with a scene between Mann Kidd and the actor who played Edward Teller.

Edward Teller was also a well-known theoretical physicist in the United States, and became an early member of the Manhattan Project, participating in the development of the first atomic bomb.

During this time, he was also keen to promote the development of the first nuclear fusion weapons, although these ideas were not realized until after the end of World War II.

But just after World War II, at a hearing on Oppenheimer's background investigation, Edward Teller gave some controversial testimony to his former colleagues at Los Alamos National Laboratory, which is exactly Because of this, he has since become unpopular in the scientific community.

Throughout his life Edward Teller was known for his scientific talents, poor relationships, and mercurial personality.

Perhaps he also has a more well-known title "Father of the Hydrogen Bomb"!
For this role, Xu Nuo did some artistic treatment.

That's what made him more artistically argumentative in two phases.

In the first stage, that is, during the time when the Manhattan Project was developing the atomic bomb, Xu Nuo allowed him to have relatively intensive communication and identification with Oppenheimer.

It can even be said that the "friend" Xu Nuo wanted to express that kind of inseparable emotion.

As long as the "good and bad" relationship between two people is rendered well in the first stage

Then in the second stage, that is, during the "trial" of Oppenheimer, when Edward Taylor stood up and made a controversial testimony against this "old friend", he was able to give the artistry of this role to the audience. shape well.

After all, Xu Nuo is making movies, not documentaries. Movies must pay attention to art after all.

In Xu Nuo's previous commercial blockbuster films, perhaps explosions are art.

But Xu Nuo knows very well that film art is not just about explosions!
Similarly, in the first and second stages of "Oppenheimer", Xu Nuo will also artistically shape the role of Oppenheimer.

Because in the first stage, the Oppenheimer organization led the research of the Mannton Project atomic bomb, naturally with the idea of ​​saving the world and ending World War II.

Gathering a group of experts in the field of nuclear physics and completing the nuclear test of the atomic bomb has made great contributions to the United States and the world. How high-spirited is such a person!

Although it was difficult for Xu Nuo to truly figure out whether Oppenheimer had such thoughts and a high-spirited mental state at that time.

But movies can be shaped like this.

What Xu Nuo told Mann Kidd was that the content of the shooting during this time period should make him show his personal high-spirited feeling.

Mann Kidd is indeed a young and middle-aged capable actor. Although he is not as famous and famous as Lucas Dionisio, Xu Nuo is very satisfied with his performance.

Even in a relatively harsh shooting environment, he can show a feeling of being proud of life, as well as a touch of elegance that comes with him.

It seems that there are some differences between this scientist and the other scientists of the Manhattan Project.

At the same time, Xu Nuo also let Mann Kidd show the pursuit and dedication to nuclear physics research, making the role of Oppenheimer as three-dimensional as possible.

From a historical perspective, perhaps all people know is the name of Oppenheimer, the father of the atomic bomb.

But in the movie, Xu Nuo had to show the audience an Oppenheimer with a "wonderful life", otherwise the movie would be as boring as a documentary, and it would directly fail.

Xu Nuo asked Mann Kidd to show that "lonely" temperament in the second stage, that is, when Oppenheimer was "judged".

This temperament is clearly in stark contrast to the high-spiritedness of the Manhattan Project nuclear test era.

For Xu Nuo to make "Oppenheimer" a success, it is definitely not enough to rely on a real atomic bomb explosion and gimmicks.

This can only be counted as icing on the cake, making this movie even more legendary!

What really needs to be done is to control the plot and rhythm of the movie well, and to shape the protagonist Oppenheimer and other characters well.

That's right, not only Oppenheimer, the main core character, but other characters also have to be artistically shaped.

Otherwise, it would be a bit of a waste to just invite big-name Hollywood actors to play the role, just as a vase tool.

As for the shaping of the characters, Xu Nuo believes that the Hollywood actors he invited can do it, at least judging from their current performance, Xu Nuo is quite satisfied.

"Okay, click!"

In the afternoon, Xu Nuo finished shooting another scene. After the end, he nodded to the two actors with satisfaction, and then announced: "Everyone can take a rest, and then have dinner. Tonight we will have another evening scene."

"Good director!"

"Temporarily call it a day."

"Old Ji, what are you having for dinner tonight?"

"I haven't eaten delicious food for almost a week, Lao Ji, did you ask the logistics to bring some delicious food from the city?"

The staff of the crew put down their work one after another, preparing to rest and have dinner, but the big guys seem to have an urgent need for "eating".

It's not that I didn't eat during the filming period, but that I didn't eat so well. There's nothing I can do about it, the environment is here.

Even if it is a delicious box lunch, due to the distance and the remote environment, there are certain difficulties in transportation and supply.

"Boss, Colonel Luo Wei called today."

Wen Ruohan saw that the boss Xu Nuo had temporarily ended the filming, so he came forward to report what Colonel Luo Wei called and said.

"How to say?"

Hearing this, Xu Nuo pursed his dry lips, then took a big sip of water and asked.

"It is said that the nuclear props of the movie have been arranged by the Science and Technology Department in Lop Nur. The scenes are all based on the needs of the movie plot, and the relevant experts are also in place. I would like to ask Director Xu when you will go to arrange the shooting of the explosion."

Wen Ruohan said immediately.

"Is it finally going to explode?"

After Xu Nuo heard the words, he was quite excited when he learned that the time to shoot the nuclear bomb explosion was coming, not to mention it.
