Chapter 341 Preliminary special effects preparation for the new film

In recent years, the National Day file has been a relatively popular time of the year.

In the past, the Lunar New Year file was the territory of big directors such as Feng Xiaogang and Zhang Yimou. The summer file also had Tang An and a lot of Hollywood movies released.

But occasionally there will be one or two blockbuster movies. In the past, Cheng Long's movies were released twice on the National Day file.

Especially last year, as "Painted Skin" won a super high box office of [-] million in the National Day file, the National Day file officially entered the attention of several major companies.

It stands to reason that this year's National Day file should be very lively, not to mention top-level big productions, there should always be movies with medium cost and above.

The actual situation is that, apart from "The Founding of a Nation", there is not even a small-budget film with an investment of 3000 million, and all of them are films with an investment of about [-] million.

I can't help it, I can't afford to hide it.

None of these low-budget films has the potential to be a dark horse. The box office of "Bullfighting", which was released on the 11th, was less than 200 million on the first day, and the total box office only broke 17 million in the [-] days of its release.

At any rate, Huang Bo became popular with "Crazy Racing" and "Crazy Stone", and only got this box office.

The box office of "A Gentleman" starring Sun Honglei and Lin Xilei was not as good on the first day, but it was only released on the eleventh day, and it took 14 million in 1500 days.

The only box office left is the cartoon "The Prequel of Monkey King", which took 500 million box office in two weeks.

Tang An hadn't seen this movie. He was bored a few nights ago and went to watch it with Yang Mi.

I also watched the 3D version, and I was killed by lightning.

After the green thing came out, he thought it was Prime Minister Turtle, but when he saw the two horns on his head, he realized that it was the old dragon king.

He Jiong voiced Monkey King, Zhang Yishan voiced Taibai Jinxing, and Xie Na voiced a female monkey.

But there are a few children who are very happy to watch.

That scene just happened to catch up with the director's event, and Tang An remembered a word from him.

Give me [-] million, surpass Hollywood.

Well, these are the director's original words, and they are justified.

Facing such a group of opponents, "The Founding of the People's Republic of China" won a super high box office of 2200 million on the first day, sweeping the National Day file without any suspense.

Getting 1.2 million in the first five days is basically destined to explode.

Another 1.15 million in the second week, 8500 million in the second half of the third week, and 5000 million in the fourth week.

After 26 days of release, the total box office is 3.7, breaking [-] million should be stable.

1500 copies, all major theaters across the country have given this movie the prime time of almost all theaters in good locations, all the media and participating stars cooperated in publicity, plus many units have booked the show, getting this data is not counted. Outrageous.

It is also well received in many media, and is known as the benchmark of the main theme movie.

Of course, the quality of the film is still acceptable, at least there is no confusion when so many historical events and characters are added, so that the audience can watch it smoothly, with some laughs and tears.

In the second half of the film, on a night full of gunfire, I saw a soldier trotting all the way to report. After a closer look, it turned out to be Wang Baoqiang. The soldier he played continued the image of "Xu Sanduo" in the film: "The report leader , there is a landlord's compound in front, the courtyard wall is too high to climb up, and the grenade cannot be blown up, please call for artillery support!"

When the leader played by Ge You heard the report, he ordered people to use flares to take a look, and the two of them were immediately stupid.

Where is this landlord's compound? It is clearly the city wall of Beiping!
This paragraph made a lot of people laugh.

And Cheng Long also attracted a lot of laughter when he appeared on the stage, wearing black-rimmed glasses and combing his hair slightly.

The rating of this movie on Douban is also 6.4 points, which is considered a high score for a domestic movie, especially a domestic movie with the main theme.

But no one knows now that Douban will close the ratings for "The Founding of the People's Republic of China" in more than a year. Not only will the ratings not be displayed, but even a comment will not be left.

The same is true for the subsequent "The Founding of the Party" and "The Founding of the Army", which cannot be rated or commented on.

As early as more than 20 days before the movie was released, "The Founding of the People's Republic of China" was scored 2.8 points.

Later, Douban cleared these scores, and only got a score of 6.4.

Some people posted negative reviews more than 20 days before the release, and you can figure out what's going on if you think about it with your toes.

Some of them may just give a bad review as soon as they see the main theme movie, which is a matter of habit.

But some deliberate people, as well as the brainless black people who can be seen everywhere on the Internet, really make people understand that some Chinese people are really not worthy of being Chinese.

Of course, the "Founding of the Army" kind is really rubbish, regardless of whether there is a negative review or not, it is only worth two or three points.

However, Optoelectronics also did a wise thing. The ticket price of "The Founding of the People's Republic of China" has generally risen to 80-100 yuan, which is twice as expensive as ordinary movies.

It is estimated that the real box office of this film is only about [-] million.

"The Founding of the People's Republic of China" was a hot topic, but it had nothing to do with Tang An, so he devoted himself to writing his own script.

There are a lot of special effects in the movie this time, and next year's summer time will not be able to catch up, and the Lunar New Year time is probably a little nervous.

There is a lot of preparatory work in the early stage. To find a suitable venue, special effects must be prepared a few months before the shooting.

The script is not too complicated, the standard Hollywood commercial blockbuster, the plot has never been too brain-intensive.

Originally, the movie was adapted from a novel written by Japan Benzene, but Tang An checked and found that the novel did not exist, and it might have been eaten by a crab beast under the seat of 404 God.

Later, didn't a large number of novels were eaten by the river crab monsters, and it has long been no surprise.

After all, rebirth has appeared, so it's strange that there are few novels.

Even if Trump loses the U.S. election, F1 car god gets into a car accident, Spain doesn't win the World Cup next year, or even the national football team qualify next year, Tang An doesn't think it's strange.

After all, writing novels requires logic. Only God knows what will happen in the next second in reality. Maybe you are walking on the road well, someone drives you with your eyes closed and kills you, or you are struck to death by a thunderbolt on a sunny day.

Then you cross. . .

It took more than a month for Tang An to complete the script. He still chose the happy ending in the movie, and he was not Wen Qing. He didn't want to be scolded to death for being so cruel.

Although choosing another ending and having the male and female protagonists face off at the end would make the film more highly rated, Tang An's original intention was to make a popcorn movie, as long as it was fun to watch.

After initially finishing the script, Tang An was not in a hurry to review the script, nor did he find actors first, but started the preliminary preparation for the special effects.

Early in the morning, Tang An came to Tiangong Yicai with some concept drawings he had drawn.

"Mr. Tang, you are finally expected to come. We are all waiting to start work."

Chang Hongsong and Xiao Yang, who were waiting at the company, went downstairs to greet them in person, not to mention how enthusiastic they were.

Such a big order may not be received in a year.

"Mr. Chang, Mr. Xiao."

Tang An shook hands with them one by one, and went upstairs to the company meeting room.

They were all technical, and after a few pleasantries, Tang An directly took out the concept drawing of his painting and handed it over.

Chang Hongsong and Xiao Yang shared half of it, and when they got the painting, they looked decent, and immediately praised, "Mr. Tang, you are not only good at filming, but also have such good art skills!"

Tang An waved his hands and said with a smile, "I know a little about everything, I'm not a professional."

The two of them were also not good at flattering. With the producers of his crew, they could shoot for half an hour without a re-enactment.
