China Entertainment Times

Chapter 547 Finished! (The first update asks for a subscription!)
At the beginning of August, Tang An flew back to China with the crew, and flew directly to Mohe without stopping in the capital.

There is no major event in the summer file, and the film market is still the same. "Little Times" is the champion of the summer file with a data of 5.1 million.

The blockbuster 3D animation "Ice Age 4: Continental Drift", which was released at the end of the month, achieved a good box office after the foundation laid by the previous two series that were also 3D versions.

3 million in 1.45 days, although it is not as good as "Little Times" 4 million in 2.91 days, but the word of mouth is much better, and it is currently the only movie that is expected to surpass "Little Times" at the box office.

The TV drama market is equally lively. The summer season is the concentrated time for the release of popular TV dramas. Nearly half of the most watched movies of the year from various David TV and film and television production companies are concentrated in this time period.

The trump card of Mango TV every summer vacation is "Huan Zhu Ge Ge", and this year is the No. 14 year.

It's kind of like letting you change in various ways, but I don't move at all.

No matter what TV dramas are shown on other channels, Mango Channel will play "Huan Zhu Ge Ge".

As soon as "My Fair Princess" is played, it means that the college entrance examination is over, and the kindergarten and university are on vacation.

Putting it on the empress to do evil, Nanny Rong gets the needle, which means that the high school entrance examination is over and the elementary school students are free.

No, Nanny Rong is good, she stabs bad people.

When Ziwei is blind and Concubine Xiang is dead, the first year of high school will be on vacation.

Many viewers jokingly said that the worst thing I can think of is to grow old with them.

Isn’t it? What’s even more frightening is that “Returning the Pearl and Princess” and “Journey to the West” watch you grow old year by year. Your grandchildren are getting old, and the TV series are still on.

Now all the major video sites have created bullet screens, and after these TV dramas are released for decades, maybe you and your children and grandchildren will be next to each other in the bullet screens posted.

In the northern part of Mohe City, Heilong Province, the northernmost city in Huaguo, a large endless cornfield is neatly lined up twice on the dirt road.

"If it was placed in ancient times, I would have become a big landlord."

Looking at the golden piece in front of him, Tang An sighed.

I have come here to rest for a day, and then I have to go to work again.

There are quite a few actors on location, they come one by one, first finish filming the scene of the two children, they still have summer homework to do.

Car bickering, flat tires, and chasing small drones in cornfields (cornfields are such a bad word these days).

It's not difficult for children to bicker, and the scene of chasing the drone is aerial and real.

An N-handed Jiangling Collection has been devastated by the years and is full of traces.

The cars in the movie have been on camera for a long time, but Jiangling is not even ranked in the top 800 in the national auto industry. Tang An only needs [-] million advertising fees.

The piecemeal shots were shot for nearly a week. Today is the scene when the leading actor leaves, and it is also the last exterior scene of the two children. After that, there will be some interior scenes and a football scene at the school.

"Every part is ready, the actors are in place!"

"No.30 one scene, one shot, one shot!"

"start!"

Liu Ye came out of the house carrying two bags, and the father played by Ni Dahong asked how the child was doing.

"fine."

He didn't stop, didn't look back, and stuffed the bag into the car after replying.

Liu Haoran, who kept his head down, also looked up at Liu Ye. Liu Ye put away his things, turned around and gave him a man's hug.

"Xiaofeng, help me look after our home."

"Ah."

Liu Ye rubbed Liu Haoran's head with some reluctance, then turned around and got into the car resolutely.

"Dad, can I drive this car in the future?" Liu Haoran asked calmly, without the sadness of parting.

"The car is yours, and I'll let them drive it back."

As soon as the words were finished, Jiangling's Book of Hands had already been activated.

Liu Ye said to Ni Dahong again, "Dad, take care of them."

"Crack."

"Yes, let's do it again, Liu Haoran, when you say the next line, you must have a relaxed expression."

There is nothing wrong with Liu Haoran playing this role, in fact there is nothing difficult about it.

A mature boy, his father didn't make a big fuss when he was going on a long trip, and pretended nothing happened.

Throughout the film, he has no less affection for his father than his younger sister. It was his father's sentence "help me look after our home" that kept him here from beginning to end, and he never left no matter what happened.

The father-son relationship is a weakened line throughout the film: very little communication, very few lines, very little appearance time.

But every scene, every line is not wasted - showing the deepest and deepest love a son has for his father.

Just like the scene of chasing the drone two days ago, he followed his father's instructions and almost rushed into the lake with a car of three people. His father asked Tom, "If I tell you to die."

He has been confirming this rhetorical question almost all his life: never leave the cornfield.

Stay here, even if you lose your own children.

When the cornfield was burned, he rushed over to put out the fire without saying a word, driving the car his father had driven.

The cornfield was the last place where he could "keep" his father, and it was also his lifelong belief.

The trio's role in the cornfield is almost over, and there are two last scenes left.

Then film the dialogue between Weng and his son-in-law.

One bottle of wine per person.

"We seem to forget what we're supposed to do, even the taste of ale."

"We are explorers and pioneers, not guardians."

"We used to look up at the vast starry sky and think about our own existence, but now we can only think about how to survive the sandstorm."

"Okay, let's go!"

"The prop group is ready for the next game!"

There is no problem with the scene between the old actor and the actor. There is another scene in the evening, and there is still some time to finish filming the sandstorm scene first.

This scene also did not use digital special effects. If all the shots in the film can be shot in real life, they will be shot in real life. If they can't be shot in real life, they will use physical special effects.

To form a violent sandstorm and keep the sand suspended in the air for a long time, the stunt team used a non-toxic and biodegradable material made of crushed cardboard, which is light enough.

Everyone's eyes, nose, and equipment are protected.

"Every department is ready, drive and pay attention to safety!"

"No. 15 games, one shot, one shot!"

"start!"

With Tang An's order, the stunt team that had already prepared sprayed the prepared materials all over the scene immediately, and several fans also started to blow.

Within a few seconds, a realistic sandstorm effect was immediately formed on the scene.

The dilapidated old book slowly drove over from the other end, and the wind and sand hit the car body with a rattling sound.

The car door opened, and Ni Dahong and Liu Ye each guarded a child, wrapped the child in their own clothes, bent down to face the wind and sand, and walked into the house with difficulty.

The next day, the scenes of Ni Dahong, Liu Ye, Liu Haoran, and Zhang Zifeng ended here, and the assistant director Zhang Yiping took them to shoot the school scenes.

"Old Zhang, pay attention to the safety of the extras and students, and there must be no riots and stampedes."

When their group was about to leave, Tang An was still telling them, "When the sandstorm hits in that scene, the group performers should appear to be very calm, and it's commonplace for such things to happen."

"Don't worry, Director Tang, remember everything." Zhang Yiping nodded.

Zhang Yiping took a group of people away, and there were a few more actors on the shooting scene.

Wan Qian, Wang Chuanjun and others arrived successively yesterday, and after a night's rest, they immediately went to work.

In the morning, I first filmed the scene of burning the cornfield, which took more than half an hour.

Then came the scene of the siblings. Wang Chuanjun purposely kept his hair long in the middle, his beard was unshaven, and his face was darkened, as if he had been smoked.

The departments and actors are ready.

"Scene 106, one shot, one shot!"

"start!"

In the cornfield with thick smoke in the distance, a Jiangling Baodian quickly drove over.

Compared with the shooting two days ago, this car is much older. The front bumper feels like it is about to fall off as it runs. It is not far from retirement.

The doctor played by Zhang Bo watched the car drive by, took out a steel pipe from his car, and held it nervously in his hand.

Just as Wang Chuanjun got out of the car and was about to lose his temper, Wan Qian rushed out from the house opposite, holding a watch in her hand.

"He is back!"

Wang Chuanjun stared at her inexplicably, and took two steps.

Wan Qian shouted excitedly, "It's always been him, I didn't know before, the ghost is him, Dad will come to save us!"

Looking at Wang Chuanjun, Wan Qian smiled with relief and hugged him.

The camera turned to the front of Wang Changjun, and a close-up came.

The head was messed up, and the face was dark, but the red eyes became the center of the whole shot.

"Crack! Pass!"

"Yes, the state is very good, and the mood is also very good."

Just joined the group, it's great to be able to integrate into the big role so quickly.

"Continue, next shot!"

The scene on the Mohe side lasted about 20 days, and it was already late August. Tang An once again led the crew across half of Huaguo to Jiangning Province.

Yangzhou Ganquan film and television base is not very famous in China, and it is not as good as Huairou, Hengdian, Xiangshan, and even western film and television bases, Shanghai, Zhongshan and other places.

However, this place has the largest indoor studio in China, with a construction area of ​​6900 square meters. In addition, there are three studios with an area of ​​more than 3 square meters, all of which were built at the beginning of the year.

For the next two months, "Interstellar" will be filming scenes in the interior and spaceship cabin here.

All indoor scenes and scenes in the spacecraft cabin did not use blue screens. When shooting black hole scenes on the set, the crew built a huge projection curtain wall and a 1:1 spacecraft model.

When actors perform in the spaceship, outside the window is the cosmic scene projected on the curtain wall.The curtain wall uses two large projectors to ensure that the cosmic scene on the curtain wall has the appropriate brightness.In a later stage, the scene projected on the curtain wall will be replaced with a further refined version.

At this time, the projected image was also repeatedly analyzed, simulated, and calculated by many physicists, astronomers, and hundreds of special effects personnel.

As for the cube in the film, it was not filmed in the blue screen. The crew built a hypercube in a studio of more than 1000 square meters, surrounded by four sides, and then expanded to infinite through post-production.

The hero walks through the hypercube "time tunnel" and browses all the moments on the timeline. The tunnel background is undoubtedly made by CG.

However, the blue screen was not used. Instead, Liu Ye was hung in front of the curtain wall on the set. What was projected on the curtain wall was the "rough version" of the time tunnel picture made in the early stage.

At a later stage, this rough version of the background was replaced with a more detailed CG image, which naturally required a lot of keying and wire erasing.

"Interstellar" basically achieved the limit of real shooting, physical special effects that can't be shot in real shooting, or physical special effects + digital special effects, there are almost no pure digital special effects.

Just one word: True!

"Havoc in Heaven", which claims to be the pinnacle of domestic special effects, has too many pure digital special effects, causing most of the background to be distorted.

Day by day, the actors also finished their work one after another. The last scene was the scene of the cylindrical space station, and a complete set was built in the studio of more than 6000 square meters.

Basketball courts, schools, hospitals, supermarkets, and commercial streets defy gravity and spread in all directions.

After leaving the earth, Newton has nothing to do with it.

Eating, drinking and having fun can solve the basic survival of human beings.

The cylindrical space station is the epitome of an earlier human immigration plan. It is propelled into space by nuclear power and then artificially created the sun, and rotates to create gravity.

At the beginning of November, the crew finished all the filming of "Interstellar", which took three and a half months!

The next step is the long post-production. Fortunately, Tiangong Yicai and thousands of special effects personnel from several other special effects companies have been preparing for it since half a year ago, and the time is completely in time.
