Chapter 333 "Interstellar" filming
When "Interstellar" was first filmed, everything seemed to be relatively smooth.

A good actor, after all, is a good actor, and he can quickly understand what kind of state is needed in a movie.

Liang Chaowei and the others are like this now, including Zhang Ziyi. Zhang Ziyi has cooperated with Chen Xi to a certain extent before, so she understands Chen Xi's requirements better now.

"You are crying here."

The scene being filmed now is when the hero and heroine’s spaceship fell into the ocean and then returned to space, 27 years have passed.

Here, because of despair, both the male and female protagonists look very depressed. The male protagonist is better. After all, he still has a daughter to worry about in his heart, so he wants to return to the earth as quickly as possible, but the mood of the female protagonist has completely collapsed. .

But just now Zhang Ziyi obviously didn't express this feeling of complete collapse, what she is expressing now is a kind of sadness.

"No, that's not the case."

Although we are very familiar, Chen Xi still speaks mercilessly: "Here you are showing a broken state, not just sad. Think about it, 27 years have passed, where is your father? He must have died , he is already very old, you know?"

Zhang Ziyi nodded. In fact, she had experienced Chen Xi's abilities in these aspects before, and she naturally knew what Chen Xi was saying now. As long as she understood it well, it would definitely be of great help to the overall film.

At that moment, Zhang Ziyi thought about it in her heart.

In "Interstellar", there is a feeling of being at a loss in time. The horror of time is fully displayed here, and the dislocation of time is even more admirable. The ups and downs of time are indeed quite cruel.

The feeling that a little accident at the bottom makes the past decades, the feeling that the daughter is more than 100 years old and dying, but the father is still a man in his prime. It is so profound that it even makes people feel a kind of Creepy.

Chen Xi must also take these things into consideration when shooting, and express these emotions to the extreme.

For the shooting in the studio, Chen Xi still used the previous special effects company, and for "Interstellar", Chen Xi used more Chinese special effects teams trained in "Gravity". I also have such a small team learning, and it may be used in the future.

So, now there are people working on special effects watching the recording, and Chen Xi and the old scientists invited from the Chinese Academy of Sciences. They mainly provide technical guidance and guide Chen Xi and the others on how to shoot.

After all, on this kind of spaceship, many things still need to involve the common sense of physics, and for the structure of the universe, there are many gorgeous and magnificent space scenes, especially where there are black holes, they need their guidance.

Although Chen Xi clearly remembered what the black hole in "Interstellar" looked like, if he created a black hole purely based on his memory, there must be a lot of roughness in it.

The black hole in the original movie is also a real combination of physicists and special effects, and it is not aimless and purely based on imagination. The movie "Interstellar" is the most amazing. The most unique advantage of this movie is that it conforms to scientific common sense on the basic mountain, and even a black hole can involve relatively correct laws of physics, and Under such a foundation, they did not make a boring movie, but made many touching storylines about family love, the future and so on.

Being able to do these two things, the excellence of "Interstellar" is indeed unique.

In this place, Chen Xi also has some roles... After all, to be honest, the role Chen Xi chose still has a lot to play.

Chen Xi hasn't acted for more than a year after "Source Code", and the occasional guest appearance is just a small matter, so now he is a little itchy.

Because Chen Xi's real career is a director after all, so he doesn't have the various requirements of other actors as an actor, and he doesn't have the feeling that he has to play the leading role, otherwise he will lower some of his own things.Of course, if Chen Xi really embarked on the road of acting in the future, then he would definitely measure up to that level, and would not play the male number two or even the male number three, but now Chen Xi doesn't need to do that at all.

So it's actually nothing for him to play a trick here.

In fact, the person he plays still has some drama, especially after so many years of aging directly on the spaceship, including his demeanor, as well as his changes, movements, etc., will be reflected in his acting skills, not to mention, in Here, the person's persistence and other eyes will need to change.

In this way, Chen Xi will have a lot of room to play, but if he does not act well, then the whole movie may be lowered to a lower level.

In this regard, Chen Xi can only use her many performances to work hard. In fact, Chen Xi's performance in "Source Code" can be said to be quite successful, and it has basically been recognized by all movie fans. For a role like "Gravity", Chen Xi would not feel incompetent in her heart.

The part that Chen Xi is playing now is the part in the whole movie where Chen Xi needs acting skills the most. Here, the hero and heroine just rushed up from that gravitational planet and saw him again.

Chen Xi's previous performances required more of an ordinary performance, but now it is different, he needs to perform a lot of complicated things.

And from the aspect of aging and so on, it must be like that.

Chen Xi put on makeup.

In fact, compared with whites and yellow races, black people usually look very old when they are young, including some people with dark skin. They used to look old, but the older they get, the harder it is to see the traces of time. people.

So the black man in the original version didn't really need much makeup, but Chen Xi is different.

For a fair-skinned person like Chen Xi, it still takes a lot of effort to draw him more than 20 years later.

But Chinese makeup artists drew Chen Xi very much... In fact, in this respect, Chinese makeup artists are not a problem.

Whether it is Chinese makeup, props, photography, or even special effects, it is not lacking in sufficient level. Even if you see the level of makeup in Hollywood such as "Cloud Atlas", as long as you have money and time, Chinese makeup artists can also do it. can be brought to such a level.

However, the problem with Chinese makeup artists is that the younger generation can’t come out, they are unusable, and there is also a lack of a sufficient training mechanism in the middle. Many juniors in the makeup industry are hard to get ahead and have no effective learning. The real top ones in China are almost the same. There are only [-] or [-] makeup artists with the world's top level, and they are not young. This is the biggest problem.

For example, in the United States, there is a variety show dedicated to the content of makeup special effects. It is easier for newcomers to learn techniques and get ahead. Chen Xi has nothing to do with these things, so he can only try to guide them slowly.

It takes more than five hours for Chen Xi to put on this makeup, which is quite a long time, but in order to be realistic, there is no other way...

So Chen Xi had to take off her makeup once every four or five days. In this case, a total of about two times of makeup would be enough to finish the filming.

Liang Chaowei and Zhang Ziyi came up from below. The shooting was in a large prop, and the space seemed a little narrow. However, the spaceship does not exist for comfort, and this aspect is also in line with reality.

"I've been waiting for years."

Chen Xi tried her best to figure out the way of speaking and doing things of a person in his fifties, which was reflected in every posture.

His current tone is not too deliberate, but it is also slightly lowered.

On the issue of acting a person much older than her actual age, Chen Xi asked Ni Dahong many times for advice. Ni Dahong played a dying old Yan Song in "Da Ming Dynasty 1566". He is very experienced in this aspect, so Chen Xi Xi also figured out the process of this matter bit by bit according to her own understanding and what she heard from Ni Dahong.

How should I perform? In fact, Chen Xi already has an idea of ​​her own in her heart, and she is now verifying this idea.

However, Chen Xi watched the replay after the first performance, and felt that it was not very good...

Unlike Nolan, every scene of Chen Xi is shot with the latest technology. In these places, IMAX 3D cameras are few in the world. This thing is extremely precious, and there are not many in China.

In fact, a lot of the 3D effect of a movie depends on the post-production, not the initial shooting, but if IMAX3D cameras are used to shoot during shooting, there is already a pretty good starting point. Post-production will be much better.

Chen Xi's "Interstellar Crossing" is a 3D movie after all, and it is different from the original version. Chen Xi made 3D for a big reason to make money, but he is different from other money scammers. Time will definitely make the 3D effect very good, even if you spend more money on it, you will not hesitate. After all, Chen Xi's movies have been from "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" to "Gravity" in terms of 3D effect. Great.

And now Chen Xi's "Interstellar" wants to get a better 3D effect, so when shooting, the placement of various objects and the shooting position will be as good as possible.

In this way, as long as it is arranged well, post-production will be much less difficult, and a lot of 3D effects will be added.

On the spacecraft, the 3D effect will mainly be reflected in the front and back of the space capsule.

Under this 3D effect, the front and back of the space capsule will appear particularly layered and spacious, as if they are extending in front of their eyes.

It was like that in Gravity, so by the time of Interstellar, everything was actually more adept.

Chen Xi and the others want to create a pretty good 3D feeling here, and everything will be considered.

It is not easy to create a 3D feeling, but now in the shooting of IMAX3D, many problems need to be carefully considered and conceived when shooting.

Chen Xi started to shoot again.

He is still very strict with his performance, and he didn't just pass through many scenes casually because he is the director.

And Chen Xi did perform well. Of course, he can't compare with Liang Chaowei, Zhou Xun, Zhang Ziyi and others, but it is already considered relatively good.

The initial filming of the film in the space capsule has begun to draw to a close.

Then it gradually came to the finishing time in the studio.

Although the shooting in the studio is relatively simpler than the exterior location, it is actually not so easy because the camera is not easy to deploy and other reasons. On the contrary, it is still a bit difficult, especially with the space of IMAX3D The structure and shooting are even more difficult, and many places need to be carefully polished, which takes a lot of time.

But anyway, it's over.

This part of the filming is also where special effects are needed the most. After all, space is beyond the spaceship, so now the special effects team has taken it and started production according to Chen Xi's requirements. Of course, the production of the black hole is also included. The same is true.

The time is also at this time to the end of 2012...

Another year has passed.

Chen Xi has also completely passed the age of 29. Next year, he will be 30 years old.

It has been six or seven years since he was 23 years old. In the past few years, he has finally lived up to the future movies in his head and has already had his own career.

He has a world-renowned name, a movie with a global box office of more than [-] million US dollars, and a horror company with a market value of nearly [-] billion, but Chen Xi still needs more.

Some of the things he is doing now have actually gradually attracted the attention of the country, and there have been several contacts before, but Chen Xi still needs more in this regard.

For all of this, he still has to prove himself with his achievements, and he also needs to prove himself with the achievements of a "Interstellar" in the world.

By then, many of his ambitions will gradually come true.

In addition to "Interstellar", Chen Xi is also preparing many things for his web drama "Late Ming", including costumes, props and actors...

This web drama is also very useful to him, because this web drama will allow Chen Xi to gain more experience, and it is purely Chen Xi's.

Because Chen Xi has very high requirements for many things, including armor, including firecrackers and various weapons, Chen Xi has strict requirements, so the preparation for this matter will take at least half a year to a year, and Chen Xi takes time I am also working hard as a screenwriter, and I am also considering this matter with some senior screenwriters.

After January came, Chen Xi and the others brought the "Interstellar" crew to Iceland to start filming the most difficult part.
