Chapter 387 Pseudo 3D
"All departments prepare!"

"The actors are in place!"

"Scene 42, one shot, one shot!"

"start!"

In mid-March, the filming of "Edge of Tomorrow" continued.

It's all scattered short shots, and there are hardly many shots longer than 5 seconds.

It is often when Tang An shouts, the action director team pulls the wire rope, and the actors are swept away and blown out.

Sometimes one, sometimes two or three, sometimes seven or eight people are swept away by the mimicry.

Fragmented shots, the main thing is not to be messy, but the shooting is relatively smooth.

After some scenes were shot, Tang An would ask someone to send a copy of the film back to the capital to start post-production.

Doing special effects while shooting, the time is tight and the task is urgent.

Fortunately, "Edge of Tomorrow" is all real shots, and in addition to Tiangong Yicai, it was also outsourced to two other top domestic special effects companies, one of which was opened by James Cameron.

Movies like "Transformers" are really time-consuming. The most time-consuming scene takes 288 hours to render a frame, nearly 12 days.

There are generally 24 frames per second, which means that a one-second scene takes up to 298 days. One computer takes 298 days to complete a one-second scene, and 300 computers can jointly complete a one-second scene in one day.

Moreover, "Transformers" takes more than 20 hours of rendering time every day, which is equivalent to 24 years of rendering time in 22.8 hours.

This is still a rendering farm consisting of thousands of workstations rented with 64 cores and 64G memory.

"Edge of Tomorrow" is completely unnecessary. This film only needs CG for aliens, and the total appearance time is not more than ten minutes.

The shooting of the film is proceeding in an orderly manner. Most of the short shots of the beach battlefield have been shot, especially the action scenes involving aliens, and the post-production can be started.

Today's filming is the rival scene between Liu Ye and Tang Yan, their second encounter.

After setting up the ground, some scorched earth was made, and the model airplane was also ignited, but the pyrotechnician had already controlled the burning range.

The blasting team buried the explosives.

"The smoke produced by the combustion is not strong enough. The explosives should be tried three times first."

"Where is the makeup artist, remake up Tang Yan, and be more embarrassing!"

"Old Zhang, take a look at the effect here."

Half an hour later, the shooting began.

"All departments prepare!"

"The actors are in place!"

"No.20 seven scenes, one shot once!"

"start!"

At the scene of the flames of war, Tang Yan's transport plane was also hit and crashed, and one side of the fuselage caught fire.

Just after repelling a mimicry, Tang Yan pulled out the giant sword-like weapon that was blown away by the side, clenched it with one hand, and looked ahead vigilantly.

The camera moved slowly from bottom to top, giving her a close-up of nearly two seconds.

There are some bloodstains on his face, his face is full of dust, and his hair is also a little messy, but his face is more serious, and his eyes are still cold.

The facial expressions didn't change much throughout the film, and Tang Yan has done a good job of filming the scene for more than a month.

"Okay, let's go!"

Then No.20 seven games, two shots.

Liu Ye lay on the ground and looked at Tang Yan who was not far away, and remembered that Tang Yan was ambushed at this time on the battlefield.

"Quickly open!"

Liu Ye yelled, and with the help of Wia, he rushed forward and threw Tang Yan onto him.

"Crack!"

"Come again!"

I didn't grasp the timing for the first time to look good, and I only passed it the fourth time.

Then the two of them put on some more makeup, and the makeup artist got a little blood and bruises on both of their faces.

One shot takes a few seconds, and the time to stop and prepare is only ten to twenty minutes.

The third shot begins.

"I was shot! I was shot!"

Liu Ye lay on top of Tang Yan, repeating this sentence in a weak tone.

Tang Yan, who was under him, frowned and struggled for a while, then with a sudden force, he threw Liu Ye out.

Liu Ye, who was pulled by the wire rope, rolled around on the ground before being blocked by a pile of sand. .

Feeling the condition of his body, Liu Ye asked about his injury.

"You have a hole in your chest!"

Tang Yan answered this sentence, groping around on Liu Ye, and without hesitation took off the battery from his body and installed it on his own exoskeleton mech.

At this time, there were three consecutive explosions not far in front of them, and four or five soldiers were blown away. Cannonballs passed by with long tails, and there were also powerful fireballs fired by aliens, which showed the fierceness of the battle.

Tang Yan stood up, and just glanced at Liu Ye the moment he turned around. He didn't even stay for more than half a second, and then quickly went into the battlefield.

"Pass!"

At 06:30 in the afternoon, the sky gradually darkened, and it was no longer suitable for shooting, so Tang An asked everyone to call it a day.

In the past half a month, the crew has finished work relatively early, depending on the weather, even with lighting assistance, it will not exceed 7 o'clock at the latest, and it will be over before 6 o'clock when it is cloudy.

The first one is that the sky is getting dark, and the other one is that although these scenes are simple, they cannot be messed up.

With different resets in the same scene, Liu Ye's expression will change slightly.

Later, fighting side by side again and again, witnessing Tang Yan die in front of him again and again, his feelings have undergone subtle changes.

After dinner, the crew rested, but Tang An continued to work.

It took an hour to read today's material, and listened to secretary Zhou Li report some things in the company during this period.

"Chairman, "The Legend of Zhen Huan" has officially approved the project, and Director Zheng has also confirmed the actors."

"Sun Li plays the leading female Zhen Huan.

Chen Jianbing plays the male number one Yongzheng.

Cai Shaofen plays the queen of filial piety.

Liu Xuehua plays Empress Xiao Gongren, the mother of Yongzheng.

Li Tianzhu plays Su Peisheng, the chief eunuch.

Jiang Xin plays Nian Shilan, Concubine Hua.

Wang Kai plays Prince Guoyi.

Zhao Liying plays An Lingrong.

Wan Qian plays Shen Meizhuang.

Zhou Li announced the main actors one by one, and several artists under the group got an important supporting role, and Sun Li was still the heroine.

As for Wan Qian, she also joined Zhou Shiwei's studio under the introduction of Yang Wenjun half a month ago.

In addition to some important supporting roles, there are also many actors who became popular later.

Tang Yixin, Mao Xiaotong, Tan Songyun, Yinger.
It seems that there are still Huayi artists, but it's not a big deal.

"That's it, tell Mr. Zhuang that this drama will be handed over to Zheng Xiaolong, and it will be fine to send someone into the group to watch over it."

"The total box office of "Lost in Thailand" has reached 6.68, and there was still 3500 million in a single week last week, and the final box office is expected to be over 7 million."

Tang An hasn't paid attention to the news of "Lost in Thailand" for a long time. For him, this is a tool to make money. Now that he has confirmed a big hit, he doesn't need to worry about it.

However, the 7 million box office has met his expectations. After all, this is the data obtained on the 6500 screens, and the 15000 screens are only 12 billion.

33% of the box office share, that is 2.31 million, excluding a total of 6000 million additional costs, a net profit of 1.71 million.

There is also a distribution fee of 1400 million. Now that I have the distribution ability, I will publish it with Berner.

But after all, it was the first film, Tang An only wanted 2% of the distribution fee, and Bernard gave the bulk of it, 8% of the distribution fee was a total of 5600 million.

The 5600 million was worth one-third of Berner's net profit last year, so Yu Dong had to treat himself to a drink.

Then Zhou Li reported some things about the company and the entertainment industry recently.

"Chairman, two Hollywood blockbusters have been released recently, and they are both converted to 3D, but the 3D effect is not good enough, and most of them are criticized."

"and"

"And what?"

"According to Mr. Zhu's judgment, this is a premeditated negative marketing. It came too fast. These voices appeared in a large area on the afternoon of the first day of the show, and they were labeled as fake 3D."

! !
Such a rapid negative marketing must have been prepared. Tang An thought for a while and asked, "Are there any other movies released in the same period?"

"There are three movies: "The Treasure Box of Yueguang", "Future Police", and "Fire Dragon Showdown"."

Pony, China Film, Hualu Baina, and Uniasia, the main investors of the three films are these four.

However, Tang An instinctively thought that there was a problem, not the negative marketing done by these four companies.
