Huayu started as a substitute director

Chapter 566 Oscar-winning actress

The plot of "Gravity" is very simple and the imagination is not outstanding. It is just a space adventure theme.

If the heroine was left on a deserted island to survive, the story would still be valid. The cool selling point of this movie is the vast space, which is the respect and worship for life, which adds a lot of points to it.

There are no spoilers for this type of subject matter, just like when you watch "Breaking Bad", you don't have to wait until the finale to know that the protagonist will die; like "Robinson Crusoe", you don't have to watch the end to know that the protagonist will be rescued.

From the beginning of "Gravity", you know that the heroine will survive, but you will still feel moved by her struggle. This is the charm of adventure films.

As long as the leading female character is fine, there will basically be no problem.

At this time, the plot on the big screen has entered the third part: the International Space Station Soyuz 2 escapes danger.

The International Space Station has two spacecraft, Soyuz 1 and 2. At this time, the heroine entered the Soyuz 2, which is together with the International Space Station and has not separated.

And Soyuz 1 is falling towards the Earth, it's not here, it's a plot arrangement, there's no need to delve into it.

The audience felt nervous and regretful when watching the film. In order to allow the female protagonist, whose oxygen was about to run out, to board the International Space Station, the male protagonist chose to cut the rope and float away at the critical moment.

Because the rope cannot support two people, only one person can choose to sacrifice.

When the male protagonist floated away and disappeared into the darkness, he was still guiding the female protagonist to enter the space capsule through the walkie-talkie.

The audience in the theater was silent. There was a heavy atmosphere here. Now only the female lead was left. When the male lead completely disappeared, a feeling of loneliness arose spontaneously.

The audience can also feel the loneliness and sympathy, a sympathy for the male protagonist's sacrifice.

Those who are more sentimental were so moved that tears welled up in their eyes. Liu Tian has quite a lot of fairy fans.

Liu Tianxian stared at the big screen. She didn't feel anything when she was acting because there were people all around her. She just listened to the director's instructions, tried to feel the emotions, and shot over and over again to get the feeling.

Because she had been lonely and helpless before, she could understand that feeling.

"The weightlessness effect is well shot." Fang Hong saw the scene on the screen where Liu Tianxian entered the space capsule when her oxygen was about to run out, and after taking off her space suit, she welcomed the new life like a newly grown fetus.

The pose in this picture doesn't move much, but the person seems to be suspended, giving a sense of weightlessness.

The subsequent scene of the heroine wandering in the space capsule is also very smooth.

“This is done by controlling the actors’ limbs in a large-scale marionette-style manner to simulate the movements in a weightless state.

The rig has 12 strings connected to four points on the actor's body, with the other ends of the strings being manipulated by three professional puppeteers or by a mechanical system controlled by a computer program."

Guo Fan tilted his head and explained the principle of simulated power.

Liu Tianxian turned her head and glanced at them, listening to their conversation while still keeping her eyes fixed on the big screen.

"We need to accumulate experience in shooting this kind of space theme, and I will shoot such themes again next time," Fang Hong said.

"The programs have been entered into the computer." Guo Fan said.

All shooting methods and data must be entered into the computer for use next time.

Fang Hong nodded, then said in silence, "How's the filming of your Mojin: The Lost Legend going?"

"We just finished filming in January," said Guo Fan.

The filming of that movie started in August or September last year and took about four months. It is a special effects movie and was shot in many places across the country.

As for their previous study in the United States, they came back in a month.

"If this movie is made well and it gets good box office, I will give you a project called 'The Wandering Earth', which will be on the same level as this one." Fang Hong pointed at 'Gravity' playing on the big screen.

"Okay, thank you Mr. Fang." Guo Fan was a little excited. He had been with the principal for several years and was finally going to take over the big movie.

According to the standards of "Gravity", a conservative investment of 5 million yuan is required, which is Yutu's top project.

It is impossible to make hundreds of millions of US dollars at every turn according to Hollywood standards. That's because their labor costs are high, whether it is the actors or the special effects team behind the scenes.

"No need to thank me. You have grown up. As long as you grow up, you can take on the responsibility. Yutu is willing to give people opportunities." Fang Hong said.

Even if he doesn't give them a chance, as long as the movies they make can make money, there will be people willing to invest in the future film capital market.

It is better to let him come by himself than to let others come.

After hearing this, Guo Fan felt like he had found a close friend. In the current film market, only the principal has the strength and courage to release a special effects movie worth hundreds of millions of dollars.

And we continue to provide them with opportunities and resources to practice.

A professional team for shooting special effects blockbusters was also formed and trained.

"Thumping!"

As the two were chatting, the audience's hearts suddenly beat faster and they stared at the big screen nervously.

A fire broke out suddenly at the International Space Station and the flames spread. After the alarm was sounded, the heroine played by Liu Tianxian quickly took a fire extinguisher to put out the fire.

As a result, he was hit on the back of his head by the strong reverse thrust, causing a brief fainting. After waking up, he continued to try to put out the fire.

But the fire was too big, and the heroine found it impossible to put it out, so she quickly fled with a fire extinguisher.

Just as she escapes, billowing flames chase and burn behind her, and the audience's adrenaline surges again, cheering for the heroine's adventure.

Fortunately, she hid in the Soyuz 2 spacecraft and was temporarily out of danger, which made the audience breathe a sigh of relief.

"The International Space Station is such a rubbish that it can catch fire in space." Some viewers complained and felt distressed when watching this.

"That's right. If our Tiangong hadn't been hit by space debris, there would be no need for the International Space Station." An audience member echoed.

Some viewers were discussing the plot, and the big screen continued to show that the heroine found the operating manual and had to learn how to detach the Soyuz 2 from the International Space Station immediately because the International Space Station was about to explode. Fortunately, she pressed the right button and the capsule successfully detached, but she didn't expect that the connected parachute would pull the Soyuz 2 back and hit the International Space Station that was about to explode.

In the spacecraft cabin, the heroine rolled back and forth. This was the shock of the impact. After she stabilized her body, she had to put on her space suit and go out to unlock the parachute, otherwise she would not be able to escape.

When she went out, she faced another round of space debris attacks.

This is another thrilling self-rescue process. The audience was sweating on their vests and clenched their hands tightly, feeling their palms sweating. It was too thrilling and they were worried about the heroine.

The plot of the movie is relaxed but not too intense. Before the audience can even breathe a sigh of relief, there comes another adventure. There is not even a boring part.

When the heroine finally escaped, the International Space Station exploded into pieces right in front of her eyes. The fragments all over the screen made the audience feel as if they were going to be hit by them. It was too real.

"Well fried!" someone said happily.

The audience thought they would be relieved to see the heroine escape from danger, but the fuel of the Soyuz 2 that the heroine was riding in was about to run out, which meant that the heroine was still facing death.

In the absolute vacuum of the universe, the heroine wailed in despair and banged on the glass porthole, but no matter how loud she shouted, no sound could be heard.

Seeing the porthole beginning to freeze, the heroine anxiously turned on the radio and tried to get in touch with the ground, but the person who answered the radio was an Inuit in the Arctic Circle.

The inability to communicate through words turned hope into despair, and the tears that flowed out floated in a state of weightlessness.

Hopeless! The heroine closed the oxygen valve, lay down and prepared to wait for death quietly.

The audience was silent, and their hearts sympathized with the heroine's despair, as if they were waiting for death with her.

"She acted well, she won an Oscar for Best Actress." Fang Hong turned around and said when he saw this.

"Stop it, are you teasing me again?" Liu Tianxian knew that this man was definitely teasing her.

Her acting skills are not up to the level of an Oscar winner.

"It seems that you have made great progress indeed. If I had known that you had made such great progress, I should have made this movie a co-production. It's such a pity that we missed out on an Oscar-winning actress." Fang Hong said with a regretful look on his face.

"goose."

Liu Tianxian was amused and laughed. She patted the man's arm and smiled with her hands covering her mouth: "It's all your fault. I could have won an Oscar, but I missed it."

"Blame me, blame me. I underestimated you." Fang Hong pretended to blame himself.

The Oscars is a local awards ceremony, but their stars are famous all over the world and their movies are popular all over the world, which is why this awards ceremony is so highly regarded and has a great global influence.

After all, it has global audiences and international superstars, and its influence is closely linked to Hollywood.

The honor of winning an Oscar is definitely higher than that of the three major European awards, because the Oscars have a commercial flavor and have a global influence in terms of popularity.

Moreover, art and commerce are equally important, and sometimes art have to give way to commerce.

Even if you are not an artistic star and your film is not of an artistic nature, you can still win the award. The purely artistic style of the three major European films is actually not in line with Liu Tianxian's temperament.

Liu Tianxian has a stronger commercial flavor and less literary and artistic style because she has a fashionable attribute.

The fashionable attributes cannot support the heavy literary and artistic qualities.

"Forget it this time, but be more careful next time. It's your fault that the world lost an Oscar-winning actress." Liu Tianxian put her hand on his shoulder, leaned close to his ear, and spoke playfully and cutely.

The two were just joking. To win an Oscar, not only the movie needs to be convincing, the acting also needs to be convincing, and one also needs to spend money on public relations and find connections to canvass votes.

If you are not from that circle, it is hard to say whether you can win the award.

The Oscar selection has always been criticized as a money game, which is why independent productions and small-budget films cannot compete.

"Big Hero 6" was produced with the help of Universal.

"Yes, yes, yes." Fang Hong nodded and smiled.

The two were chatting while the movie was still playing. Just when the heroine was feeling desperate and waiting to die, a Chinese call suddenly came from the radio.

“This is the space agency.”

The radio was not turned off just now. Hearing the familiar Chinese voice, the heroine was startled. Infinite hope rose in her heart. She opened her eyes and immediately sat up again to get in touch with the ground.

In the original version, the heroine fantasizes that the hero will come to encourage her to survive. It's so magical.

But here it was changed to radio contact with the space agency on the ground and to encourage her to live.

"Don't give up, don't abandon, always stay optimistic in the face of difficulties, keep a clear head, and save yourself with a peaceful mind. There are 14 billion Chinese people standing behind you, and we are all waiting for you to come back at home."

Here, the audience watched the heroine ignite hope from despair, and saw the motherland encouraging the heroine to live. While they felt proud, some viewers were already crying.

The emotion and patriotic sentiment spread.

The heroine also rekindled her fighting spirit with these words of encouragement. She opened the oxygen valve again, picked up the survival manual which was all in English, and began to learn manual ignition for soft landing.

Following the steps in the manual, the heroine successfully pressed the button and successfully separated the cabin, then entered the manual program and flew to Soyuz 1.

The audience breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the life capsule, like a cannonball, approaching Soyuz 1 quickly.

Soyuz 1 is falling towards the earth. Seeing the capsule getting closer and closer to Soyuz 1, the heroine holds the valve, closes her eyes and says, "Let's go home!"

After that, she put on the space suit without hesitation, pressed the valve and ejected herself.

Seeing the heroine spinning and moving in space, the audience were silently cheering for her. Fortunately, she used the fire extinguisher to stabilize her body and flew towards Soyuz 1.

After many twists and turns, we successfully entered Soyuz 1.
