The plot of "Gravity" is particularly simple, how a female astronaut survives.

So, how do you attract the audience?

The silent and dark space is the real protagonist, and the earth that also rotates silently is another supporting role.

For a long time, humans have always made themselves the protagonists, thinking that all the stars revolve around them.

"Smallness is not an obstacle to survival, ignorance is", the earth is just a grain of sand in the universe, but in the face of earthquakes and tsunamis, human technology, civilization, and life are extremely fragile.

Not to mention the dead silence of space.

If human civilization can continue to develop, it will inevitably point to the dark and deep space.

However, most people have a small and rational understanding of the universe and are very ignorant of it.

"Gravity" happens to be a more realistic representation of the dead and dark space, the helplessness and insignificance of human beings in the face of absolute power and eternal laws of physics, and it is these coupled with a realistic 3D experience that can shock the audience.

Lu Xiaoran and Emmanuel Lubezki discussed for more than half a month, and finally completed the storyboard script...

By the way, Alfonso Cuarón was also invited over, and he served as the executive producer...

Because the assistant said that the long shot of the first 18 minutes of the film shook the world...

But what he said was too vague.

Lu Xiaoran really can't imagine...

I had to invite the original director.

In fact, the ideal situation for making this kind of film is that the crew shoots the whole film in space, but this is obviously impossible.

According to the auxiliary, when the space environment of Gravity is presented on an IMAX screen, it is no less than an interstellar trip for viewers sitting in the dark wearing 3D glasses!

How do you do that?

You can only rely on special effects!

In the whole film, only the scenes inside the space station are shot in the built set, and the realistic feeling of outer space actually needs to rely on CG to achieve...

After more than a year of preparation, the special effects team has already completed the run-in, and after the modeling is completed, the production of the most difficult explosion scene begins.

However, an explosion in a vacuum certainly does not have the same effect as an explosion above the Earth, and it is unlikely that a space explosion will be simulated with a realistic model explosion ...

After all, it is a commercial film, and some shots are not for realism, but to convey an atmosphere and increase the attractiveness of the film.

For specific shooting, he, the director, is really a bystander, or the person who gives specific orders.

Including cinematographer Emmanuel Lubezki, basically does not use a physical camera - full CG...

Emmanuel Lubezki decided how the pictures should be presented...

For Tangtang, the biggest challenge of filming is to represent the state of weightlessness and present it to the audience, in addition to making the actors forget the feeling of gravity as much as possible, the crew will use a lot of CG animation technology to make the synthesis more realistic.

The one-man show is very difficult, but fortunately, Sugar Candy is proficient in yoga...

In addition, half a year of experiential life is not fake - the rhythm of space breathing is not something that ordinary people can master!

Also, Lu Xiaoran, Alfonso Cuarón, and Emmanuel Lubezki's perception of space...

It's a little problem, after all, none of the three of them have been to space!

I have always maintained close contact with NASA, and throughout the preliminary preparations, several people have been consulting the experts of the space agency on the space scene, but with the deepening of the exchange, I feel more and more that my knowledge is not enough!

But if it is really filmed in accordance with the reality of space, then the horse will simply be made into a documentary!

Accuracy is a thing, how much can be done, so don't nitpick.

......

With the opening of "Gravity", "Raiders of the Lost Ark" fell sharply to below 10 million in a single day under the attack of "Fast and Furious 6" and "Pacific Rim"...

The reputation of "Fast and Furious 6" is really good!

From a racing movie to a cop movie, it's very bold, but it's also really powerful - it's hard to do some messy special effects on a simple racing car.

When smashing the car can no longer satisfy everyone's desire to destroy, then dismantle the tank and fight the plane to make you happy!

It's so cool!

So much so that "Furious 7" can only beat everyone's nerves with the high-rise crossing scene in Abu Dhabi;

Speaking of "Pacific Rim", in fact, the reason why China Film released these two films at the end of July is that in addition to the urging of Hollywood, the most important thing is that they feel that "Furious 6" is at most 300 million, and "Pacific Rim" may be less than 300 million...

And the release of two blockbusters at the same time will definitely cancel out part of each other!

The difference is that "Fast and Furious 6" is a 2D film, although the fan base is very good, but high-definition resources have been leaked out on the Internet when it is released, and the competitiveness has been reduced, while "Pacific Rim" is the main 3D screening hall.

Then, both movies exploded at the same time!

The most important thing is that "Pacific Rim" exploded, and there was no warning at all.

Because this movie is miserable in North America...

As a sci-fi blockbuster with an investment of up to $180 million, "Pacific Rim" is the heavyweight seed of the North American summer season in every way, but what is surprising is that the seed player has been defeated step by step since stepping into the North American ring.

38.3 million in the first week, 42.5 million lost to the vulgar comedy "Growing Up 2", 29.93 million in the second week, lost to "The Conjuring", and "Wolverine 2" rose to the top three weeks, and "Pacific Rim" completely fell out of the top six at the box office...

The most embarrassing thing is that "Pacific Rim" also suffered a box office defeat in Japan!

With a first-weekend record of 208 million yen, he failed to shake the championship of Hayao Miyazaki's "The Wind Rises", and also suffered defeat in the Hollywood brothers' battle with "Doomsday" and "Monsters University", ranking only fourth in the weekend box office list...

Let's put it this way, the setting of the giant mecha battle monster was born from the Japanese benz film, but this trend has already passed the current trend of Japanese benzene!

Then, Chinese mainland, since its release on July 31, "Pacific Rim" 290 million in the first week...

It can be described as raising eyebrows!

"Fast and Furious 6" can't be stopped, and "Raiders of the Lost Ark", which has been in theaters for 26 days, can't be stopped...

The worst thing is that "Raiders of the Lost Ark" lost to "I Love Big Big Wolf 2" at the single-day box office...

29 days after its release, the single-day box office dropped to 2 million...

The film schedule has dropped to less than 5%...

It's impossible to get the next release, and if you get the extension key, you have to hang it for 90 days.

On August 8th, "Embroidered Spring Knife" was released, as the opening work of Daming Jianghu, Lu Xiaoran attached great importance to it and personally wrote a Weibo: "Embroidered Spring Knife" is different from previous martial arts movies, Chinese martial arts films started from the earliest sword fairy films, after decades of development, through the interaction between martial arts and martial arts movies, a set of basic narrative rules has been established very early, the main elements of which are rivers and lakes, treasure hunting, hegemony, revenge, and strange feelings.

Martial arts movies have always had a congenital defect in the narrative structure, that is, the plot clues and action scenes are disconnected from each other in the process of film narrative, so they are divided into literary drama and martial arts.

The biggest advantage of "Embroidered Spring Knife" is that all martial arts are for the service of literary drama!

If I had to choose, I think "Embroidered Spring Knife" is definitely one of the best martial arts movies I've ever seen, and I highly recommend it to everyone - definitely not because I'm the starring actor!

The editing is complete, the typos are checked, and then sent, waiting for the hot search...

Then, Gao Qunshu angrily denounced "Little Times" for topping the hot search list...

What's the situation?

I clicked on it and watched it to know that Gao Qunshu has the connotation of "Small Times 2"...

Because "A Stormy Affair" and "Small Times 2" will also be released on August 8th...

"Small Times 2", "Embroidered Spring Knife", "A Stormy Affair", the film schedule of the three films is 31%, 22%, and 12% respectively...

"Pacific Rim" has 19% of the schedule, and "Fast and Furious 6" has 12%...

Gao Qunshu was unhappy, because the film schedule was looked down upon.
