Chapter 207 True and False 3D
"You think I'm blind? The horse next to me is right there. The horse-drawn train was invented by Cixi."

This is not innovative at all. In fact, this kind of horse-drawn train was not only popular in the Qing Dynasty, but also in foreign countries at that time. Photos of the horse-drawn train at that time are still preserved.

There is a history of horse-drawn trains in Sweden, Bolton, Ireland, New York and other places.

Jiang Wen clapped his hands and said, "As expected of a great director, you can see through it at one glance."

Liu Yifei was very curious and couldn't help but take a few more glances.

"There are so many metaphors in your movie. You have to deal with some of them to pass the review."

Jiang Wen didn't care at all: "Shoot first, and then we'll talk about it later. The bridge will be straight from the bow of the ship!"

Jiang Wen suddenly looked up at the sky: "Director Li, look at the cloud on the other side, does it look like the one I shot in 3D?"

Li Mu looked at him deeply: "Like!"

Jiang Wen suddenly looked happy.

"Extraordinarily beautiful!" Li Mu added, "Anyway, Mengying has no money!"

"Director Li, what's the relationship between the two of us? Now is a great time to do 3D!"

"You bastard, it costs money to make a movie. You don't know how much it costs. If you switch to 3D, I can't imagine how much the box office would cost to make up for it." Li Mu quickly shook his head. Jiang Wen never talked about cost when making a movie. Otherwise, the Emperor would not have thought of pulling Mengying into the car.

Now Jiang Wen still has the idea of ​​​​3D, so he should be killed immediately.

"Actually, this horse-drawn train looks very shocking in 3D." Jiang Wen still felt a little regretful.

"Shocked, shocked, 800 million is gone."

"Your words are quite smooth!" Jiang Wen muttered.

Shao Bing and Liao Fan play like bandits, and today's scene looks like it should be a train robbery scene.

Jiang Wen did have a problem with directing the film, and that was the waste of film.

"Let the Bullets Fly" was still shot on film.

What Jiang Wen changed over and over again was to pursue perfection. If the light of a shot was not found correctly, he would have to reshoot it more than ten times!
Li Mu and Liu Yifei looked at the crew, shooting over and over again, and the film was being used like running water.

"How can Director Jiang control the cost?" Liu Yifei was dumbfounded. Although she had heard of Jiang Wen's shooting method, she was still a little surprised when she saw it with her own eyes.

As a producer, she is now very sensitive to the cost of filming.

"How to control what? He is the boss of the crew. How much does it cost him? Who else can control it?" Li Mu smiled. Jiang Wen never worried about the nonsense cost.

So when Li Mu heard that Jiang Wen wanted to shoot this thing in 3D, Li Mu refused without thinking.

How much does this cost? The cost has probably increased at least three to five times, so the film will have a long way to go to make money back.

No wonder later generations rumored that a few minutes of filming for "Let the Bullets Fly" took Jiang Wen more than a week and used up [-] feet of film!
It seems to be true, it's all money.

Li Mu and Liu Yifei watched Jiang Wen finally finish filming the scene before getting up and leaving.

Huairou doesn't have many scenes. In the next few days, the crew of "Let the Bullets Fly" will have to go to Kaiping Diaolou in Jiangcheng for filming, Huang Silang's home in the movie.

Within 2012 days of its release, the global box office of "20" exceeded US$10 billion, with North America contributing US$3.8 million and domestic contribution 7.8 million yuan.

It has broken the box office record of "The Dark Knight", which is the fourth highest-grossing movie in film history at US$10 billion, second only to "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest" with US$10.6 billion.

The second highest-grossing film in history, "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King", US$11.4 billion.

In the eyes of movie fans around the world, breaking these two records will only take two or three days at most.

""2012" will soon be promoted to second place in the global film and television box office rankings, and is currently fourth!"

Domestic media are already hyping it up. After all, this is a list that will leave a mark in film history.

"Second place is already confirmed, it just depends on whether we can break the record of "Titanic"!"

"The record of America was recorded in 97. It has been dusty for 12 years. Finally, there is a movie that can challenge it!"

"Awesome, Director Li! Hurry up and make another 3D movie! There are no movies to watch!"

"I feel like it's hard for Li Mu to surpass the movies he makes!"

“The right time, right place and right people are what makes this movie so great at the box office, both are indispensable!”

"."

The British "Sun": "This is the most dazzling movie in the past decade. I look forward to the day when "2012" will challenge the record of "Titanic"."

The Times of the United Kingdom: "This is an epoch-making production that is magnificent from every angle, whether it is ambition, visual effects, or groundbreaking production technology."

The Guardian, the Hollywood Reporter, the New Yorker, the Chicago Reader, the Los Angeles Times, the Houston Chronicle, and Time were all suddenly reporting that 2012 was about to challenge Titanic. "No." records.

The only movie currently with a similar box office curve to "Titanic", and it seems to have a little more stamina than "Titanic".

Fans of Liu Yifei's post forum all shouted, after all, being able to appear in this movie is enough to feed many people for a lifetime.

At least when discussing film history, your name is indispensable.

"If we really want to count, the box office of the movie Sissi participated in has already reached the top among domestic actresses."

"The films I participated in will probably be among the best in North America."

"It's a pity that it's not the starring role, but it's enough. "Your Name" is still ranked second in the country, and it has also surpassed other people in the industry."

"."

Discussions inside and outside the industry were enthusiastic. After exceeding 10 billion, the box office of "2012" dropped a little bit again, but it still went its own way and harvested the global box office.

So far, "2012" has achieved three consecutive weekly box office wins in the North American market. Judging from this trend and the movies that will be released later, it is possible that it may win five consecutive weekly box office wins in North America.

It is estimated that "District [-]" will not be able to break this trend. "District [-]" did not do well at the box office, and it still had a large international box office. However, its follow-up potential is great, whether it is winning awards to increase the awards reputation of Crystal Pictures or Other subsequent income.

In addition to "2012" suppressing films from other film companies in the industry, another incident also made companies in the industry feel uncomfortable.

Due to the WTO relationship, China is about to welcome more Hollywood movies.

Many small film companies are lamenting, after all, Hollywood blockbusters have a huge impact on their movies.

But netizens are not worried.

"Just look for Li Mu, his movies are not afraid of Hollywood!"

However, China Film is very confident. A spokesperson directly stated: "Since 2004, the box office of domestic films has surpassed that of imported films. In recent years, domestic films have performed very well and their appeal to audiences has been greatly enhanced. At present, mainland films The market has gradually become more reasonable."

Li Mu also knows that in fact, Hollywood has followed the old routine of visual spectacle and often relies on making sequels to survive, and it already feels exhausted.

Even if it is liberalized, it will be difficult for Hollywood films to dominate in China, except for a few.

However, in the film industrialization, Hollywood is still too powerful. At least in these years, the Chinese market has to accept the impact of Hollywood, especially the subsequent Marvel Universe.

Just as "2012" is running rampant, the first domestic 3D movie "Boyz" will also be released in China.

Some theaters still arranged some movies at midnight when it was not the prime time period, hoping to see what this movie, which is said to have domestic 3D special effects only inferior to "2012", would be like. "Hello, here are two 2012D tickets for "3"." A boy with glasses walked into the cinema holding a girl. They looked like a couple.

"Look at the venue and seats."

The boy looked at it and felt a little disgusted: "This position is too bad."

"Sorry, the 2012D show of "3" is basically sold out today. These are the only spots left. You can choose the 2D version." The conductor felt numb after saying this recently. He didn't know how many times he repeated it.

The boy shook his head. He came here just to watch 3D movies. How could he watch 2D movies?

"Lehuo Boy? It seems like it's also 3D?"

"Uh, yes, it just started today. It was only played in one place, and not many people watched it."

"Why don't you watch this one first? It's also in 3D. I heard there's also Chen Chusheng, whom you like." The boy looked at his girlfriend.

"Okay, let's take a look." The girl looked reluctant, but "2012" didn't have a good location, so that was all it could do for the time being.

There were really not many people in the cinema, including the two of them, there were only four people, and there was a couple not far away.

After the movie started, the boy looked more and more strange.

"Is this a 3D movie?"

His girlfriend was also a little confused. Putting aside the plot of the movie, it looked like a commercial, but with the 3D effect, it seemed that there was not much difference whether or not the so-called 3D glasses were worn.

"Forehead"

The boy didn't know how to answer. No, what his friends said was that they were immersed in the scene and felt it was happening right in front of them. Why did he see it completely differently?

He quickly turned on his phone and asked via QQ.

"You are such an idiot. You left "2012" on and didn't watch it. What the hell were you watching!"

Seeing several people in Q calling him a fool, he felt embarrassed.

"Otherwise, let's go back and watch "2012". I really can't watch this movie anymore. The location is almost there."

The boy suggested that this movie is for 12-year-olds. Not only was it uncomfortable to wear two glasses, but it made no difference whether I wore them or not. As a result, my friends called me a fool.

"Let's go!" The girl didn't have the nerve to look.

After a while, the two couples disappeared, leaving only a lonely screen.

The two felt comfortable instantly after seeing the 2012D scene of "3".

"Nah, this is 3D!"

Early the next morning, there was indeed a lot of curses, pointing directly at "Le Huo Boy".

"You have the nerve to call it a 3D movie, how shameless!"

"Watching it with my girlfriend, I was so embarrassed. If it weren't for the minimum of 1 star, I would have given it 0 points!"

"Finally I understand why it is said to be the best 2012D special effects in China second only to "3", because there are only two 3D films that have been filmed in China. This word game is really good!"

"It doesn't matter if you wear 3D glasses or not, it's the same as 2D!"

"I'm more cautious. I just wait for the reviews to come out before deciding whether to go see it. Well, I've saved another movie ticket!"

"."

The audience who watched it didn't even have time to complain about the plot of the movie, they all criticized the 3D special effects.

The crew of "The Boys" didn't respond at all. Anyway, they had this idea to harvest a wave, and the audience's reaction was expected.

"Reflection: 3D works also need "content is king!" "

"3D in domestic films is often just a hype gimmick!"

Many film critics have also begun to examine the issues of 3D projects recently approved in China.

When Li Mu saw these comments, he smiled helplessly. There will be no shortage of bad 3D movies like this in China in the future, let alone domestic ones. Hollywood will also have bad movies.

However, this kind of thing gives "2012" another wave of free publicity. Real 3D special effects, well-made and grand scenes, this is the conscience!
During the trial screening of "The Founding of the People's Republic of China", Han Sanping invited Li Mu to go and have a look, saying that he wanted to take a look at the movie.

Han Sanjing is still the same, the scene is bigger, a lot of reporters and film critics are calling, and they are building momentum for the movie.

As soon as this reporter saw Li Mu, he couldn't wait to interview him: "Director Li, the 3D movie "The Boys" has a very bad reputation. As a leader of 3D, what do you think of this matter?"

Li Mu stopped and thought for a moment. It really should be popularized by these impetuous domestic film companies.

"2009 is the first year of 3D movies. Although the 3D storm is rapid, it does not mean that the audience has lost their ability to identify. Many movie fans are still more cautious. I think the most fundamental thing for domestic films is Tell the story well first, so that even if you don’t have to shout, the box office will be the same. 3D technology is more suitable for icing on the cake, rather than a magic weapon for harvesting box office!”

After Li Mu said this, he refused other questions. This time it was a trial screening of "The Founding of the People's Republic of China". He spoke too much and it was inappropriate.

"Director Li!"

As soon as Li Mu entered the scene, greetings came from all directions.

Zhou Xingchi, Zhang Ziyi, Zhao Zhetian, Liu Dehua, Ren Dahua
All the actors are here!

Li Mu could only nod. There were too many people, and it was impossible to say hello to them all.

Jiang Wen had already gone to Jiangcheng. He was absent this time, and Feng Xiaogang was not here either. Brother Chen Kai was sitting calmly and calmly. Only when he saw Li Mu did he smile, while everyone else had a straight face.

"You are so popular!" Han Sanping joked.

"Director Han, let's get ready to start. Time is urgent and the task is urgent!"

"I haven't even gone on stage to speak yet, why are you so anxious!"

Han Sanping felt uncomfortable even if he didn't go on stage to say a few words. After all, this movie has an all-star cast, and that's why Han Sanping was the only one who could recruit so many people to participate.

"Senior brother, you Feng Yuxiang is so upright and awe-inspiring!"

"You should come and play too! I'm not bad at acting."

Brother Chen Kai saw his role as Feng Yuxiang and thought he did a pretty good job.

"pretty good!"

Others may have praised Brother Chen Kai for not feeling anything, but when Li Mu said this, Brother Chen Kai suddenly felt very good.

Feng Yuxiang has a lot of scenes, including two major sections.

The first section has more body language and expressions, while the latter section shows off the line skills and has a series of dialogues.

Anyone who has been in contact with Brother Chen Kai knows that he often droops his eyelids and looks thoughtful during interviews, which sometimes makes people misunderstand that he is not energetic.

But in the movie, General Feng Yuxiang is full of energy. He dares to carry a submachine gun and rush into the enemy's ranks. He speaks his lines very loudly, which is very admirable.

That's why Li Mucai said that the acting was quite good. It can be seen that Brother Chen Kai acted hard.
