Coquettish Rebirth

That's right, filming in this corner of the United States is different from China.The most expensive thing here in the United States is the labor cost, so if you really want to hire extras, it's really unaffordable rhythm!There may be one hundred dollars a day in China, so people line up to go, but in the United States, it costs one hundred dollars a day!It seems that the two sides are just different currency units, but in fact, if you think about it, the problem cannot be solved simply by paying extras-there are too many extras, for example, if 1 people are really hired, one day It costs 100 million US dollars to go out, but their movie tickets in the United States are only 5 US dollars more!In China, it is 50 tickets, even in the small movie theater of Huaxia Hi-Tech, it is 10 yuan a ticket!So just looking at the cost is actually different for the two, and then there are other things!The simplest thing is, these 1 extras need at least two meals a day?In China, we can find a lot of restaurants to book together, because the price is cheap because of the large number of orders. The last box lunch may be five yuan or seven yuan for an ordinary one, which is amazing!The more expensive lunch boxes are for celebrities!

It's different here in the United States. If you want to order so many lunch boxes at once, why don't you pay three or five dollars for each box lunch?What is the one-dollar special burger in McDonald's and KFC? It looks like something small!The three-five-dollar lunch box goes out, and the final movie ticket price is more than five dollars!The box lunch that our Chinese extras eat is less than one dollar in U.S. dollars, and the fare is about the same as in the United States!So in fact, China can afford to hire a large number of extras, but the United States can't afford it!At the same time, it’s just eating, and there are other transportation costs?After gathering extras in the city, you want to send them to the shooting location?Why can't people drive by themselves?Otherwise, do you want to set up a parking lot in the wild and find a special person to show everyone the car?

And eating is still a trivial matter. It's really going to be a movie, and there are 1 extras.How much more clothing do you need?How many makeup artists does it take to do makeup for everyone?How many prop masters and costumers are needed to put together the things everyone needs?Really speaking, the cost is multiplied!So for the film companies in the United States, it is really better to spend 100 million US dollars to ask the special effects company to make 1 extras into 99 extras!That's right, that's how it's done in Hollywood!These one hundred people are only the closest to the camera, and then through the production of special effects, 1 copies of each of the one hundred people are made.Then the lineup was disrupted, and different actions at different time points were added. How could the audience in this few-second shot tell that there were actually not [-] people?Who can tell that this is actually a copy?Really no one can see it!

As far as Jia Hongjian’s film is concerned, let a hundred people make different moves to rush out of the intersection, then disrupt everyone’s matching and change clothes, and then let everyone do it again with different moves. Synthesized together by computer, and after duplication, can it finally show on the screen the feeling of thousands of people flocking to the streets?At that time, let alone a few seconds of footage!It is a long shot of 1 minute or even a few minutes, as long as you don't take pictures of everyone's face carefully.That's okay at all, it won't be discernible at all!And besides, the biological vision of human beings is not that great!When ordinary viewers saw such a huge crowd, everyone subconsciously sighed that they were shocked by the number of people!Who will carefully see whether the actions of the people on this side of the camera and the people on the other side of the camera are the same?Who can tell whether two people who are tens of meters apart look the same?right?This is where you can be tricky!Not to mention, Jia Hongjian and his DreamWorks had their own special effects department.Our own special effects department is not an outside special effects company, and we don’t need to make money if we serve the company itself, so the money we have to pay will naturally be lower, right?So for DreamWorks and Jia Hongjian.In fact, it is appropriate to do it yourself with special effects!

The scene where the crowds flock to the streets is actually a scene where the crowds are mobilized to oppose Batman.Although everyone is against Batman.But the problem is that everyone doesn't know that Batman is actually Bruce Wayne, so in the end, everyone didn't go to Wayne's house to burn or kill anything. Everyone just walked in the city, holding various banners and banners, shouting to let Batman Get the hell out of Gotham, say Gotham doesn't need a dictator like Batman!Before filming such a scene, Jia Hongjian really only recruited a hundred people.As a result, after arriving at the scene, these 60 people knew that they were extras for the Batman series, and [-] of them said that they didn't want money!They feel that being able to participate in the shooting of Batman is the greatest honor!

The only requirement is that Bell can take a photo in Batman's costume and sign it for them. Jia Hongjian agreed after thinking about it. He actually guessed that there might be dozens of people who turned around. After getting the signed photo, the photo will be put on the Flea Street of Sherlock Holmes' online sales platform for sale.Maybe a signed photo can be sold for more than 100 US dollars, these people actually earn more!But since they don't ask for money from Jia Hongjian, Jia Hongjian doesn't care whether they sell the photos later, because Jia Hongjian doesn't have Bell's portrait rights anyway, so he has no right to hold Bell. The photos are for sale!

When the filming started here, the road was closed and traffic restrictions were required. In order to make the overall shot look good, no pedestrians were allowed to walk on the side of the street. It was just a hundred or so people walking in the middle of the road with various banners.The road here was just closed, and when the actors put on their costumes and prepared to start filming, they immediately attracted a large crowd of onlookers—who says foreigners don’t like to join in the fun?As long as the excitement is big enough, foreigners still love to join in the fun!This is a movie, and many people saw the words Batman written on the sign next to the roadblock, and they immediately understood that this was a Batman movie. Can they not pay attention?You must know that the second part of Batman is a hot mess in the United States!

"No, Mr. Jia, can the police drive away the onlookers? It's not easy for them to watch us over there. They turned around and took them in. We also need to ask the special effects department to detain them. It's even more troublesome." !" The photographer Wali got on the seat on the boom and raised it to the position. After seeing it, he felt bad, so he hurried down and said to Jia Hongjian.That’s right, after WALL-E rose just now, he suddenly found that the camera didn’t feel good. Originally, the scene of walking was to look down at 45 degrees from a high place and see the crowd. Just feel it.But the problem is that when it is raised to an approximate position, the roadblock can be seen within a block distance.Originally, there was nothing wrong with the roadblock, but the roadblock was sprayed green. I asked the special effects artist to remove the green roadblock, and then added a crowd of people who couldn’t see the end. But the problem is that the roadblock is now Surrounded by a group of black heads, will the heads be kept or deducted?If you want to be perfectionist, it must be deducted, after all, these onlookers have no movements at all, and their expressions are completely different from the expressions of the walking crowd required by the camera!

"Dispel?" Jia Hongjian hesitated for a moment, then turned around and went to his director's small shed, took out a loudspeaker and walked towards the crowd of onlookers over there.Seeing Jia Hongjian walking over with a loudspeaker, Wali was stunned. He didn't understand what Jia Hongjian was going to do. Could it be that Jia Hongjian wanted to disperse the crowd by himself?It was too late to say it, and before Wali could react, Jia Hongjian had already walked to a place not far from the crowd, and he turned on the loudspeaker and said to the crowd: "Gentlemen, Ladies, hello, we are here for the filming of the third part of Batman. Thank you very much for coming to our filming today. But we have a small problem here and I want you to help. We don’t have enough funds here, so we can’t recruit Enough extras. In today's scene, we want the citizens of Gotham City to be instigated by the bad guys to oppose Batman. I wonder if any of you are willing to come in and act as free extras? It won't take long, if it goes well , we can finish filming in 10 minutes, at most half an hour..."

ha?Jia Hongjian What does this mean?Wally was stunned at that moment!As a result, just as he was stunned, he saw all kinds of onlookers enthusiastically signing up!So in the blink of an eye, Jia Hongjian pulled over 9% of the onlookers. This is another hundred or so people—don't think there are too few people, the whole city is only 30 in total. People, how many people can you count on to come and watch in broad daylight? "Mr. Jia, why...how did you bring them all in? Can they do it?" Wali was worried at that time, because these people were ordinary people, not extras with basic film and television concepts!Although most people feel that there is no difference between extras and ordinary people, there is actually a difference!To put it simply, the extras won't be stupid enough to stare at the camera with a big smile on their faces when they play the role of Big Walk!Ordinary people, because they feel excited, think that they may appear in A-level blockbusters in the future, and they may subconsciously stare at the camera!This way the effect of shooting will be very poor!And Nolan has always liked to use film cameras, so what Wall-E brought this time is still a film camera, and this film requires money!

But who knew Jia Hongjian smiled, "I know your worry, so let's not turn it on for the first time, but don't tell them, let's pretend to rehearse first, see if anyone can't get into the state, let's have a look On both sides, let them get into the mood and then we will officially start shooting. Doesn’t this save film? And besides, this way, the crowd of onlookers will disappear? Doesn’t it mean that we have a lot more samples of people walking around? "That's right!Who is Jia Hongjian?That is the same genius who has a magical pen to turn unfavorable conditions into favorable conditions! (To be continued..)
