Chapter 444: Filming, Difficulties

After the opening ceremony, "The Wandering Earth" officially started filming.

The first part of "The Wandering Earth" mainly tells the story of the impending destruction of the sun, and that the solar system after the destruction is no longer suitable for human survival.

In order to save themselves, humans started the "Wandering Earth" plan, which is to use the world's power to build tens of thousands of engines and steering engines on the surface of the earth, push the earth out of the solar system, and reach a new home in 2500 years.

Chinese astronaut Liu Peiqiang went to the Navigator Space Station when his son Liu Qi was four years old, and took on the responsibility of being a navigator with his international peers.

In the blink of an eye, Liu Qi grew up. He secretly ran to the surface with his sister Han Duoduo and stole his grandfather Han Ziang's transport truck. As a result, he was not only arrested, but also encountered a global engine shutdown incident.

In order to repair the engine and prevent the Earth from colliding with Jupiter, a saturation rescue operation was launched around the world, and even Liu Qi and his car were forcibly requisitioned to join.

In the process of racing against time, countless people succeeded one after another, in spite of their lives, just to continue the hope of survival of hundreds of generations of descendants. Finally, Liu Qi remembered what Liu Peiqiang had told him when he was a child, and successfully saved the earth.

The difficulty in filming "The Wandering Earth" lies in three aspects.

One aspect is the construction of the scene.

The scenes in the movie include the departure from Earth, the space station, the impact with Jupiter, the doomsday scene on Earth, the steering engine, etc. These scenes are very complex and require a lot of manpower and time to build.

Moreover, during the production process, a large number of physical special effects and CG technologies are required, such as the production of carriers, the construction of space elevators, and the simulation of planetary engines.

This requires support from a professional team and advanced equipment.

Second, the technical process is complex and requires the use of a variety of shooting techniques and processes, such as virtual shooting, dynamic storyboards, Previz, etc.

The third is post-production.

During this month, assistant director Xiao Er only built the scenes of the dungeon and the space station.

If an ordinary director were to shoot the film, it would take at least a year or two to complete. However, with the help of a system, Cheng Cheng can shoot it frame by frame according to the original version, and is confident that it can be released during the 2025 Spring Festival.

According to the script, "The Wandering Earth" is divided into three parts.

First is the prologue:
Dad Liu Peiqiang and grandpa Lao Han took their son Liu Qi to see Jupiter. They played at the engine beach and agreed to come back after seeing Jupiter. Liu Peiqiang gave Lao Han a pass to enter the underground city. His wife was bedridden.

Then, the sun crisis. Lao Han takes Liu Qi into the underground city. Liu Peiqiang hibernates in the space station.

The second is seventeen years later.

A crisis breaks out and the protagonists save the world.

The third is the ending.

Liu Qi inspects and life in BJ's underground city returns to normal. Everyone makes a cameo appearance.

Liu Qi was driving, but his driving skills were still very poor.

OS re-explains the "Wandering Earth Project".

At this moment, on the set.

All departments have been prepared, and the actors have put on their makeup, just waiting for Cheng Cheng's order.

Cheng Cheng glanced at all the crew members and actors present, made eye contact with them, and said:

"We have less time for filming this time and the task is tight, but we must strive to finish it before the Spring Festival! I hope all the crew members will be fully alert, and all the actors will work as fast as possible. OK, without further ado, let's start filming!"

After that, a moment later, the actors were in place, the lights were in place, and Cheng Cheng also sat in front of the monitor.

"action!"

As soon as the words fell, the entire set fell silent, leaving only the slight hum of the camera moving.

Xu Rui, who plays Liu Qi, quickly got into the role.

Cheng Cheng did not shoot according to the order of the script, but first filmed what happened 17 years later when Liu Qi grew up.

The first scene is in Liu Qi's bedroom. The news announces the return of the astronauts. Liu Qi packs up his things, leaves a letter to his grandfather, and runs away from home. Then he comes to the school, paralyzes the simulation screen, and takes his sister Han Duoduo away.

He first took his sister to the dungeon to get equipment and prepare to go out.

During the filming process, the walkie-talkie in Cheng Cheng's hand kept ringing. It was the voices of the heads of various departments reporting to him on their preparations or requesting instructions.

Cheng Cheng responded one by one, and each instruction was concise and clear.

At this moment, in the surveillance camera's picture, Liu Qi, wearing a red work suit, was leading Han Duoduo, who was wearing a neat school uniform, through the underground city.

The light in the dungeon is a little dim, but various neon lights and billboards interweave to create a colorful world of light and shadow.

The dungeon in "The Wandering Earth" has a unique aesthetic style, with both a cyberpunk feel of future technology and retro elements of the 1960s and 1970s.

On both sides of the street, there are dense and orderly buildings with all kinds of living facilities. People coming and going are mostly dressed in gray, blue and red. Festive music is playing in the background, and the words "2075" are displayed on the big screen.

Han Duoduo looked at the announcement on the big screen, paused, and said:
"Hukou, will the neighborhood committee distribute dumplings tonight?"

Liu Qi: "Eat, eat, eat. Where's Grandpa's car?"

Han Duoduo: "Got it, got it, how about we eat dumplings before we leave?"

Liu Qi: "Eat shit, don't go."

Han Duoduo: "You liar, you promised to take me out to play!"

Everything shows the afterglow of human civilization, and also reveals the tenacity and hope in the background of doomsday. Although the space is limited, people's lives do not seem to have completely lost order and color. Soon, the afternoon shooting ended.

Today we mainly shoot Liu Qi and Han Duoduo.

In the evening, Su Simin held the empty lunch box, wiped her mouth lightly, and walked hesitantly towards Cheng Cheng who was checking today's shooting materials in front of the monitor.

There was some nervousness in her eyes, but she finally plucked up the courage and found a seat next to Cheng Cheng.

She put the lunch box at her feet, folded her hands unconsciously, and asked timidly:
"Director Cheng...what are you looking at?"

There was a hint of nervousness and awe in his voice.

Cheng Cheng turned his head and looked at the little girl next to him.

Su Simin is a young actress from Mythology. She is only 15 years old this year, about meters tall, fair and clean, elegant and refined, like a green onion, exuding the breath of youth all over her body.

"Aren't you full?" Cheng Cheng saw the empty lunch box at her feet.

He picked up his lunch box and said, "Can I give you some? I haven't eaten yet?"

"No, no, no!" Su Simin's pretty face blushed and she shook her head frantically, "I'm full. I just want to ask Director Cheng, do you think my acting today was okay?"

"It's OK, enough." Cheng Cheng asked, "You were recruited into the company during your junior year, right?"

Su Simin nodded obediently: "Yes, it was Director Yu Ming. He thought I had great potential and asked me to join the group to try."

Cheng Cheng nodded, searched for information about her from his memory, and said:

"You don't seem to be a child star, right? You were chosen by your mother after the high school entrance exam, taking you to the film set. You were only trained for a month at a home in a small alley. So, at your age, you have no professional experience, and you haven't been acting since childhood. Your family is not an acting family. Don't expect me to say how good your acting is. It's unrealistic.

You just have a little talent, which is barely enough for this movie, and the audience can't understand the plot, that's all. Practice hard, study hard, ask me if you have any questions, and remember my advice carefully. While acting, prepare for the acting school entrance exam, don't aim too high. "

"Okay, okay, thank you Director Cheng." Su Simin nodded.

After a while, seeing Cheng Cheng busy checking today's filming materials, she gently picked up the lunch box, stood up, and bowed to Cheng Cheng: "Thank you for your guidance, Director Cheng. I will work hard."

After walking a little further away, she quietly stuck out her tongue:
Director Cheng Cheng is indeed as hard to approach as rumored~

Next, the filming of "The Wandering Earth" is progressing rapidly and in an orderly manner.

January 10:
Elevator exit.

Liu Qiduoduo lined up, and his brother didn't dare to chase because the clothes were stolen goods.

The two put on helmets with the help of staff.

January 10:
Garage landscape, transport plane. Wearing helmet, Liu Qi teaching communicator.

10 month 10 number.

After the filming of the underground city scenes was completed, the entire crew, several hundred people, moved to the northeast location to begin filming the surface scenes.

While "The Wandering Earth" was being filmed, time had also come for "The Chinese Paladin III" to be released.

This large-scale ancient costume fantasy drama has attracted countless fans since the first part. After more than two years, it is finally going to meet the audience.

On the day of the release, multiple platforms launched a publicity campaign to create enough momentum for the broadcast of "Chinese Paladin III".

On Weibo, the discussion about "The Legend of Sword and Fairy III" has skyrocketed and the topic continues.

Fans of the major actors also flocked to the entries to control comments and recommend the films.

"Ahhh, Chinese Paladin III is finally here! Looking forward to Nilu!!! Nilu is the most beautiful!"

"Cheng Jiang went south to cheer like crazy!"

“Let me see who’s not looking at Long Kui!!!! They’re all looking ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!”

"Good luck with the show!! Looking forward to the baby @妮露克兹Bambi"

"See you tonight!"

"Baby Nan Nan is here!!"

Finally, it was night time.

At this time, there was only half an hour left before the release of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy III".

This time, it was the first time that Nilukzi and Cheng Cheng appeared in the same frame, and she was still a little nervous.

There is a phenomenon in domestic entertainment:
When an artist with low traffic is filming a movie with an artist with high traffic, the artist with low traffic will easily be scolded by the fans of the artist with high traffic, who will accuse the artist of stealing their sister or brother's traffic, sucking their sister or brother's blood, or forcibly binding them to form a CP and reaping the benefits.

Of course, Cheng Cheng’s fans are all relatively gentle and easy-going, and there are basically no such things as toxic fans.

Some of them had already realized the truth after being constantly attacked by Cheng Cheng over the years.

But what Nilukzi was afraid of was being scolded by fans of The Legend of Sword and Fairy and fans of Yan Gou'er and Wen Lian, who would scold her for ruining The Legend of Sword and Fairy III by joining the series.

But it’s okay, she only appeared in the ninth episode, and by the time she appeared, the reputation of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy III" had already come out.

On the Peninsula, Jiang Nan was also following the broadcast of "Chinese Paladin III".
