Superstars start from the Academy of Film and Television

Chapter 444 Finished.

After a busy month, Han Fei has completed all the procedures for the offshore company, and the office that Chris helped to rent has also been tidied up, at least he has a foothold.

In addition, Jiang Qinghou and the others in China have also completed the exit procedures. As for the shooting equipment, there is no need to worry at all. As long as it is related to movies in Hollywood, you can find it from the rental company here.

Jiang Qinghou and his party embarked on the flight to the United States with excitement. On the plane, they were so excited that they couldn't sleep. When they got off the plane, they all started to yawn.

After a group of people collected their luggage in a mighty manner, Han Fei was already waiting for them at the exit. It was funny to see Jiang Qinghou and the others all slumped.

The production crew and the technicians from "Tiangong" added up to more than 50 people. Han Fei called a tourist bus to pick up all the people. It must be jet lag on the first day. They took them to the hotel.

Although Jiang Qinghou and the others were clamoring about going to Hollywood, they fell asleep as soon as they entered the room.

A few days later, Han Fei started to take this group of people around Los Angeles. They are all here, so they have to be seen around, right?Otherwise, if you go back and be asked to go to the United States and stay on the set, how boring is it?

Three days later, the work officially started. Since the background is in the United States, many American actors are naturally needed. Fortunately, finding actors in the United States does not need to be as troublesome as it is in China. You can find the detailed information of most of the actors directly at the actor union. It's as convenient as finding group performers in Hengdian.

Of course, the prices of Hollywood actors are scary even for group performances, but after learning the lesson of "The Wandering Earth", Han Fei still invited a first-line star named "Frank" to play the male lead. I heard that the boss is Chinese , this guy didn't want to take this film, but he took a look at the salary and finally took it. From this point of view, Han Fei still likes this straight-forward business model. If he wants to hire some big-name stars in China, he must not only have Money has to be related.

The day of the opening ceremony was a bit deserted, and there were very few domestic media, and most of the American local media came for "Frank". In their eyes, the success of "The Wandering Earth" was nothing more than the self-entertainment of the Chinese, without the Chinese language. With the halo of the movie, it is impossible for Han Fei to succeed, because this is Hollywood.

Of course, Han Fei didn't care what the American media thought of him, and all his attention was on the special effects artist hired from WETA studio.

The technicians of "Tiangong" are already at the top level in China, but compared with the special effects production staff of WETA studio, there is still a gap, so this time Han Fei spent a lot of money and directly invited a special effects team to come over, just to let "Tiangong" technicians can completely study their [-]D motion capture system.

At this time, the translation played a very important role. The technicians of "Tiangong" are a bunch of nerds. It is okay for them to read English publications, but their spoken English is really bad.

In fact, the shooting difficulty of "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" is not high. The main reason is that the [-]D motion capture system is relatively complicated. The actor who plays the orangutan needs to wear clothes with sensors installed all over his body. The length of the hands, so the hands also wear special mechanical extension arms.

These difficulties are actually nothing. What really makes Han Fei uncomfortable is that these Americans are not willing to work overtime, and they are not willing to pay, and there are even people from the actors' union interfering.

Now Han Fei understands why, the production cost of Hollywood movies is so high, if anyone in China dares to leave work within eight hours, he doesn't have to eat this bowl of rice, and he will be directly blocked by all the crew.

But fortunately, the crews brought from China were more self-conscious. They couldn’t shoot after the foreigners left, so they began to sort out the shooting situation during the day, especially the technicians of "Tiangong", who took advantage of the night to digest the knowledge points they learned during the day.

It must be admitted that the hard work of the Chinese nation is the root of our ability to become a world power from a backward country in just a few decades.

During this period of time, Li Yanan was not idle either. Originally, she didn't need an interpreter when she was working overtime, but she still helped with the back office, which made Jiang Qinghou and his gang keep winking at Han Fei.

Filming abroad is in full swing, and there is no idle time in China. First, "Frozen Planet" was released. Although it was not as shocking as when "The Wandering Earth" was released, the realistic special effects also won the summer box office champion, with a total box office of 36 billion. Although the investment is not low, for Star Art Media, it can be regarded as a solid step.

The success of "Frozen Planet" has also made many film and television companies in the circle see the prospect of sci-fi blockbusters. A batch of sci-fi films that are not considered high-quality goods but are still above the standard have been released. enthusiasm.

Of course, many viewers said that these sci-fi films cannot be compared with "The Wandering Earth" at all, and they are more concerned about when Han Fei's new film will be released.

So I just looked forward to it from the summer vacation to the [-]th, and from the [-]th to the New Year's Eve, but there was still no news.

In fact, Han Fei was also very anxious. This place is in the country of the United States. Among other things, the expenses of so many people in the crew are not a small sum, not to mention that all the shooting equipment is also rented.

Fortunately, before Christmas, there is only one last scene left, and that is the final battle of the Golden Gate Bridge.

The Golden Gate Bridge is the hub connecting the two cities of Los Angeles and San Francisco, so the application for filming was submitted very early. This is also thanks to Hollywood. If ordinary cities follow the procedures, according to the efficiency of the United States, it is estimated that Han Fei can wait until his hair turns gray. .

This scene can be regarded as the climax of the whole play. Under the leadership of the leader Caesar, all the orangutans have shown extremely high coercive ability. In fact, once the orangutans have wisdom, their combat effectiveness is no less than that of humans with guns. Difference.

A few strong men who played the superstar orangutan crashed into a bus. In fact, this is a scrapped bus. The engine inside has been removed long ago, and the surface is just restored.

As the strong men roared in unison, with the help of the crane, the bus fell down and moved forward slowly for several meters, as if it was really pushed by them.

"Ka~~~" Following Jiang Qinghou's order, it also heralded the end of the ten-month filming of "Rise of the Planet of the Apes".

Han Fei finally breathed a sigh of relief. The North American box office share of 1.3 million US dollars for "The Wandering Earth" was only 3000 million US dollars.

"Mo Dan, I won't make movies in America anymore." Han Fei secretly made a decision.
