Chapter 224: "Hurricane Rescue" North American painting
Downey nodded and apologized when he heard this, "My fault, I didn't get into the play well." Give me five minutes, I need to brew my emotions. ”
"No problem, give you five minutes!" Chen Hao nodded.
Five minutes later, the shooting continued, but Chen Hao still shouted "Click!"
Chen Hao looked at Donnie in the monitor, shook his head again, and said, "The eyes and expressions are still a little worse." ”
Downey frowned slightly when he heard this, looked at Johnson beside him and said, "I'm sorry, I still can't completely convince myself that he is an alien." ”
Johnson smiled bitterly when he heard this, "I'm sorry, it's my fault, blame me for not being an alien enough!"
"Hahaha......" Everyone in the crew couldn't help laughing when they heard this.
"I'll try again, five minutes!" Downey said.
Chen Hao nodded when he heard this, and decided to let Donnie try again.
So, Donnie closed his eyes and tried his best to hypnotize himself to convince himself that he was with an alien.
Five minutes later, "Click!"
Donnie's performance still couldn't satisfy Chen Hao, Chen Hao also scratched his head a little, it seems that starting filming is like letting Donnie enter the state of transforming into an alien, which is a little difficult!
The time is too short, without the foreshadowing and promotion of the early plot, and suddenly transforms into an alien, and it is difficult to adapt to the emotions and mentality all at once.
It's just that the filming of film and television dramas is like this, and it is impossible to carry out it completely in order, especially movies, which are shorter in time and more explosive.
And the shooting plan has been set, and it is impossible to change it at will, so the only way to help Donnie as much as possible is to convince him that Johnson is an alien.
Chen Hao asked, "Is there any way you can help Donnie believe that Johnson is an alien?"
"Why don't Johnson put on alien clothes, it's intuitive!"
"No, our special effects department needs motion capture, and Johnson is wearing an alien suit, so we can't capture it, and we can't do post-production special effects. ”
Those who need to produce post-production alien special effects are wearing gray costumes formulated by the special effects department, which cannot be changed easily.
When Chen Hao heard this, he moved, "Yes, go and call the makeup artist and directly turn Johnson into an alien." ”
Soon, the makeup artist came, and according to Chen Hao's request, Johnson turned into a big green bug, and he didn't even let go of his hair, and with the gray clothes required by the special effects team, it was really weird.
Everyone couldn't help but laugh when they saw Johnson's current appearance.
Only Downey endured, after all, he was the culprit for Johnson becoming like this.
"How is it? Do you feel it?" asked Chen Hao.
Downey looked at Johnson's green head and nodded.
"That's good, keep brewing, give you another five minutes, and then start shooting!" Chen Hao nodded.
Downey looked at Johnson a few more times when he heard this, and then kept silently thinking in his heart, this guy is an alien, this guy is an alien, and gradually, his emotions were really mobilized.
Five minutes later, the shooting continued.
"You prawn, you offal, you almost killed me just now, you know?
Chen Hao looked at Donnie in the monitor, nodded, his eyes and expression were really much better, "Yes, let's keep one!"
Downey could only continue to maintain his emotions and continue to shoot.
After doing this three times, Chen Hao was finally satisfied, "Okay, it's over!"
Donnie finally breathed a sigh of relief, he hated to keep one the most, and his emotional outburst was a double test of body and spirit, which was not very friendly to actors.
Fortunately, it is also beneficial to shoot a few more, which can deepen Donnie's memory of the mental activities of the transformed alien, and the emotional mobilization will be relatively easy during the future filming process.
......
After Downey began to enter the state, and as the cooperation became longer, the whole crew became more and more tacit, and the filming progress was significantly accelerated.
In two weeks, the crew has filmed several interior scenes such as the office of the MNU headquarters, the hospital, the interior of the spaceship, and Johnson's home.
Most of these scenes are not special effects shots, so the shooting speed is relatively fast, and Chen Hao also shot some alien shots so that the special effects team can be busy.
After Chen Hao finishes filming every day, he will first check the shooting content of the day, and after confirming that it is correct, he will be sent to Weta Digital for post-production of special effects.
At the same time, "Hurricane Rescue" has finally been drawn after 20 weeks of release at the North American film market.
"'Hurricane Rescue' ended up grossing $121 million in North America, ranking 11th on the 2003 North American box office list!" --- Los Angeles Times
"The classic action movie "Hurricane Rescue" is officially drawn, with a cost of 20 million, a box office of 121 million, and a return on investment of 600%!" --- Chicago Tribune
""Hurricane Rescue" grossed 121 million in North America, and the global box office successfully exceeded 200 million!" --- "America Online"
......
In the end, "Hurricane Rescue" reached $121 million at the North American box office, once again attracting the attention and coverage of the American media.
"Saw Horror" cost $1.2 million and grossed $55.15 million in North America, and "Hurricane Rescue" cost $20 million and grossed $121 million.
There is no doubt that Chen Hao is definitely a very successful commercial film director.
What's even more amazing is that he is not yet 23 years old, and he can still make a science fiction masterpiece like "Moon", which is very in-depth and well received by film critics.
It is not an exaggeration to say that Chen Hao is a genius director, although he is young, he has achieved countless achievements that a director cannot achieve in a lifetime.
At the same time, the box office result of $121 million was ultimately lost to the $135 million of "Anger Management", but Davis was still happy!
After all, he brought greater benefits to Colombia than his old rival Tommy Motorola, and he did not lose.
Moreover, in the film market outside North America, except for the mainland of China, which will not be released until October 1, other countries and regions have basically been fully drawn.
In addition to North America and mainland China, "Hurricane Rescue" won the weekly box office in South Korea, Singapore, France, etc., and finally reached a cumulative box office of 81 million US dollars.
In other words, even if you don't count the box office results in mainland China, the global box office of "Hurricane Rescue" has exceeded $200 million, reaching $202 million.
The box office results of "Hurricane Rescue" have refreshed Chen Hao's personal North American and global box office records respectively!
It's a pity that the 121 million of "Hurricane Rescue" and the 128 million of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" are only 7 million US dollars, otherwise Chen Hao would be able to surpass Li Press and become the second highest-grossing Chinese director in North America!
However, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is a Chinese-language film, and "Hurricane Rescue" seems a little less authentic compared to it.
