......
In early April, on the edge of the desolate Yangtze River.
There were still a few big scenes left on the beach battlefield, and while the crew was preparing, Tang An looked through some news.
Basically, websites and media with traffic are talking about the recent two 3D movies, and they are all scolding.
Whether it is the media or the audience, there are few who say good things.
Even the cents, who have always thought that the moon in foreign countries are relatively round, rarely come out to wash the floor, which also shows that the transformation of 3D has reached the point where everyone shouts and beats.
After paying attention to it for a few days in a row, in addition to the negative marketing of these two movies, the promotion of several other domestic films is still going on as usual, and there is no change.
Even if it's for competitors, it shouldn't be for imported movies only, not to mention that your own reputation is rotten, and you don't give yourself a PR if you have the energy and money.
Tang An basically guessed that someone was going to him, and it must be Hua Yi.
Attacking Tang An can also strive for a greater grasp of "If You Are Honest Do Not Disturb 2" to win the Lunar New Year war, and it can also allow Wang Zhongjun to save face, after all, he was poached by Tang An Three executives, a first-line star.
For large companies, especially listed companies, sometimes face is much more important than that mere 20 or 30 million yuan.
As long as "If You Are Honest Do Not Disturb 2" kills Tang An, Chen Kaige, and Jiang Wen, the brand promotion of Huayi is very large.
is not only the value of the stock, but also the film town plan that Wang Zhongjun is implementing, and he is more sure to persuade large real estate groups such as Hengda and Biguiyuan to cooperate, which is a big project with more than one billion yuan at every turn.
If you want to do negative marketing for the weaknesses of "Edge of Tomorrow's Transformation" in 3D, you have to label the Transformation 3D as pseudo-3D.
Tang An had already thought of a coping strategy before deciding to switch to 3D, so naturally he would not let him succeed.
Movie quality is king!
In the case of sufficient quality, unless Tang An's publicity resources are far inferior to Huayi, it is impossible to lose.
Tang An is so confident, but the rest of the crew, including the actors, is very worried.
"Director Tang, do you think that our movie can be transformed into 3D?"
"What, worried?" Tang An smiled as he closed his laptop.
Deng Chao touched the back of his head and said with some concern, "I took the time to go to the cinema a few nights ago to watch the 3D versions of these two movies, and there is basically no 3D effect, especially "War of the Gods", I have to take off my glasses in more than ten minutes, otherwise I can't stand it, and the guy next to me is short-sighted and wears glasses, and I feel uncomfortable looking at it." ”
The others nodded.
"Yes, Alice in Wonderland is a little better, and War of the Gods is completely unwatchable. ”
"I didn't watch it for half an hour, and then I went to buy a 2D version, which is much better than the 3D version. ”
"I was already a little tired that night, but I was even more dizzy when I looked at it. ”
Tang An stopped their discussion and said with a smile, "These two movies were made improvised, so naturally they have no effect." "Alice in Wonderland" is a little better, this is an animated movie, most of the shots were originally made of CG, "Battle of the Gods" is basically to cut out those pictures, do a little depth, and get it casually, of course, it's uncomfortable to watch. ”
This is called the substitution method, which is equivalent to copying it again, acting as a lens for the left eye and the right eye respectively. ”
There is also a projection method, which projects the transformed image virtually, similar to the effect of scene restoration, to form a virtual three-dimensional scene, so as to view the three-dimensional effect formed, and carry out relief effect processing, so as to achieve a good three-dimensional visual effect such as scattered, distinct layers, and obvious primary and secondary.
Even under ideal circumstances, it can go beyond the stereoscopic effect of the real shot, further improving the stereoscopic effect of the picture. ”
"In fact, a considerable part of the footage of "Avatar" is shot in 2D, and then converted into 3D, let you watch it again, can you see which ones are converted to 3D and which ones are real shots?"
Theoretically, the conversion of 3D can exceed the effect of real shooting, but it is only a theory, and the time and effort are not ordinary.
What is the score of the scene, some scenes are not as good as the conversion effect, and some of the conversion cannot achieve the effect of the real shooting, even those 3D blockbusters that are shot in 2D have some scenes that are shot in 2D, and then 3D conversion.
Tang An explained to them here that the conversion to 3D and 3D was made, and it didn't take long for the assistant director Zhang Yiping to inform them that it was ready to start filming.
Tang An clapped his hands and stood up from the chair, and smiled at everyone, "Let's go, take you to see an epic battle." ”
This scene is the scene where the army crosses the river, and the setting of the script is that the south of the Yangtze River has fallen, and the Chinese military has developed a new generation of exoskeleton mechas, which have repeatedly won victories in the northern grasslands, the western border, and the eastern coast, and are preparing to launch a general attack on aliens.
The formation in the original film is still a little smaller, which is like a total, at most it is a local battle.
As the first sci-fi blockbuster to save the world by Huaguo, its significance is undoubtedly huge.
Moreover, in Han Sanping's report, the Hollywood giant in the United States intends to buy the global copyright, so that audiences around the world can see the film on the big screen.
This is not only to show the people the strength of their country and give the masses a sense of security, but also to let people all over the world feel the military strength of China.
Optoelectronics handed the report to the Ministry of Propaganda, then to the Ministry of Defense, and then the Military Council approved it.
Half of the air division, 50 combat aircraft of various types, and dozens of auxiliary aircraft were dispatched from the Nanjing Air Force Military Region.
The East China Sea Fleet, one of China's three major fleets based in Ningbo, dispatched two destroyer groups and a total of eight other transport ships transporting armored vehicles and tanks.
Aircraft carriers are impossible, and such big guys as battleships have long been eliminated, and there are none.
However, the military promised to provide some videos of the aircraft carrier, which could be added at a later stage.
Later, the aircraft carrier that appeared in "Wolf Warrior 2" was cut out from other video materials and added.
The number of warships and fighter jets is still not enough, so they can only be modeled and produced in the later stage, and the military can also provide some of the appearance data, saving most of the calculation time.
There are also shore defense forces on the shore, armed with shore-to-ship missiles.
All troops were ready, and 6 helicopters were taken into the air for aerial photography.
In addition to aerial photography, eight photographers were used to shoot close-ups in various places.
After all the details were determined, the demolition team coordinated the time with the military commanders and fighters, and after half an hour, the shooting began.
Thousands of group performers and hundreds of officers and soldiers were ready, and the decks of each transport ship were already full of soldiers wearing exoskeleton mechas, lined up neatly.
These exoskeletons that don't use close-ups are a little simpler than those used for filming, and they don't look different from a distance.
Tang An, as a director, couldn't go up to the sky to see this grand occasion, so he sat in front of the shore monitor and shouted heavily!
Majestic and high-spirited, a million troops crossed the Yangtze River!
Twenty or thirty warships of various types set sail and sounded their horns, loaded with soldiers, armored vehicles, and tanks, and the missiles on the battleships were also ready to fire.
Large transport planes in the sky carried groups of mecha soldiers to the opposite shore, and more than 50 fighters roared past in battle sequence.
Coastal defense units and warships fired missiles at the opposite side.
The cruise missiles and cannons carried by the bombers also plowed the earth.
Originally, Tang An wanted the military to use live ammunition, but there was no one on the other side, so he would plant explosives after he had already landed.
But he was ruthlessly rejected.
The first scene was filmed in more than an hour, and it was a simple exercise for the army, without any difficulty.
Then the landing scene was filmed for two whole days, and this location was all over.
PS: My eyes have been very uncomfortable in the past two days, basically I can't help but close my eyes after staring at the screen for five or six seconds, it's very sore, and my head is dizzy, I hope you understand.
