At the beginning of August, Tang An flew back to China with the crew, did not stop in the capital, and flew directly to Mohe.

There is no big deal in the summer file, the film market is still the same, and "Small Times" is the champion of the summer file with a data of 510 million.

The 3D animated blockbuster "Ice Age 4: Continental Drift", which was released at the end of the month, laid the foundation for the first two series, which were also 3D versions, and did well at the box office.

145 million in 3 days, although it is not as good as the 291 million in 4 days of "Little Times", but the reputation is much better, and it is currently the only movie that has the hope of surpassing "Little Times" at the box office.

The TV drama market is also lively, and the summer season is originally a concentrated time for the release of popular TV dramas, and nearly half of the most promising movies of the year by David TV and film and television production companies are released in this time period.

Mango Channel's hole card every summer vacation is "Huanzhu Gege", and this year is the fourteenth year.

It's a bit of a change that you can change, and I don't want to move.

No matter what TV series other stations play, Mango TV is "Huanzhu Gege".

As soon as "Huanzhu Gege" is released, it means that the college entrance examination is over, and kindergarten and university are on vacation.

Let the queen do evil and let Mama prick the needle, which means that the high school entrance examination is over, and the primary school students are free.

No, Mama Rong is good, and she is a bad person.

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

Many viewers joked that the most devastating thing I can think of is growing old with them.

It's not, what's even more terrifying is that "Huanzhu Gege" and "Journey to the West" watch you get older year by year, and when you get old, you are still playing, and then watching your children slowly grow old, and even watching your grandchildren grow old, and the TV series is still playing.

Now all major video websites have made a barrage, and when these TV series are on for decades, maybe you and your children, grandchildren, and grandchildren will be next to each other.

......

In the north of Mohe City, Heilong Province, the northernmost city in China, a large expanse of endless corn fields is neatly lined up on the dirt road twice.

"If it had been in ancient times, I would have become a big landlord. ”

Tang An looked at the golden yellow in front of him and sighed.

I've been here for a day off, and then I'm going to work again.

There are a lot of actors on location, one by one, after filming the two children's scenes first, they still have summer homework to write.

The scene of bickering in the car, flat tires, in the cornfield (the world is going down, cornfield is not a good word now... ) to chase small drones.

There is nothing difficult for children to quarrel, and the scenes of chasing drones are aerial and real.

A N-hand JMC treasure book, which has been devastated by the years and is full of traces.

The car appeared in the movie for a short time, but Jiangling couldn't even rank in the top 15 in the national automobile industry, so Tang An only needed 8 million advertising dollars.

The fragmentary footage was filmed for nearly a week, and today it was the scene when the actor left, and it was also the last exterior scene of the two children, and then there was a part of the interior scene and a football scene at school.

"All parts are ready, the actors are in place!"

"Thirty-first, one shot, one time!"

"Let's go!"

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

"It's fine. ”

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

Liu Haoran, who had been keeping his head down, also raised his head to look at Liu Ye, Liu Ye put his things away, turned around and gave him a man's hug.

"Xiaofeng, help me watch our home. ”

"Hmm. ”

Liu Ye rubbed Liu Haoran's head a little reluctantly, and resolutely turned around and got into the car.

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

"This car is yours, I'll let them drive it back. ”

As soon as the words fell, I don't know how many hands of the Jiangling Treasure Book had been launched.

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

"Click. ”

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

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

A mature big boy, his father wants to travel far away without making a big fuss, pretending to be nothing.

In the whole film, his affection for his father is no less than that of his sister, and it is his father's sentence "Help me watch our home" that keeps him here from beginning to end, no matter what happens.

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

But every scene, every line is not wasted - it shows the son's deepest and heaviest love for his father.

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

He spent almost his entire life confirming this rhetorical question: never leave the cornfield.

Stick to this place, 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 that his father had driven back then.

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

The trio's scene on the cornfield side is almost over, and there are still two scenes left.

Then shoot the conversation between Weng and his son-in-law.

One bottle of wine per person.

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

"We are explorers, 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, pass!"

"The props team is ready for the next one!"

There is no problem with the confrontation between the old drama bone and the actor, there will be a scene in the evening, and there is still some time, so I will finish filming the sandstorm first.

This scene also does not use digital special effects, all the shots in the whole film can be shot in real time, physical special effects are used if they can't be filmed, and then a combination of physical special effects and digital special effects is used.

To create a violent sandstorm that keeps the sand suspended in the air for long periods of time, the stunt team used a non-toxic, biodegradable material made from crushed cardboard that was light enough.

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

"All departments are ready, pay attention to safety when driving!"

"Fifteenth, one shot, one time!"

"Let's go!"

Tang An gave an order, and the stunt team that had already prepared immediately sprayed the prepared materials throughout the scene, and several fans also began to blow.

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

The old and dilapidated book drove slowly from the other end, and the wind and sand rattled against the car.

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

......

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

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

When their group was leaving, Tang An was still admonishing, "When the sandstorm comes in that scene, it seems that the group performers are very calm, and this kind of thing is commonplace......

"Director Tang, don't worry, remember it. Zhang Yiping nodded.

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

Wan Qian, Wang Chuanjun and others arrived yesterday one after another, and immediately put themselves into work after a night's rest.

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

followed by the scene of the brother and sister, Wang Chuanjun deliberately had medium and long hair, a scruffy beard, and his face was black, as if he had been smoked.

All departments and actors are ready.

"Scene 106, one shot, one shot!"

"Let's go!"

In the smoke of the corn field in the distance, a Jiangling treasure book drove quickly.

Compared with the shooting two days ago, this car is much older, and the front bumper feels like it is going to fall off with the running, and it is not far from retirement.

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

Wang Chuanjun got out of the car and just wanted to get angry, Wan Qian rushed out of the house on the other side, still holding a watch in her hand.

"He's back!"

Wang Chuanjun stared at her inexplicably and walked into two steps.

Wan Qian shouted excitedly, "It's always 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 shifted to the front of Wang Changjun and came to a close-up.

The head was a mess, and the face was pitch black, but the reddened eyes became the center of the shot.

"Click!"

"Yes, in good shape, in good mood. ”

It's good to be able to integrate into the big role so quickly when you just joined the group.

"Go on, next shot!"

......

The scene on Mohe's side lasted for about 20 days, and the time was already in late August, and Tang An once again took the crew across most of China and came 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 Base, Magic Capital, Zhongshan and other places.

However, this place has the largest indoor studio in the country, with a construction area of 6,900 square meters, and there are three studios with an area of more than 1,000 square meters, all of which were built at the beginning of the year.

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

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

When the actors perform inside the spaceship, the cosmic scene projected by the curtain wall is outside the window. Two large projectors were used to ensure the right brightness for the cosmic view on the wall. At a later stage, the projection on the curtain wall will be replaced with a more 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 cubes in the film, they were not shot in the blue screen, the crew built a hypercube in a studio of more than 1,000 square meters, which was surrounded by four aspects, and then expanded into infinite through post-production.

The male protagonist walks through the "time tunnel" of the hypercube and navigates through all the moments on the timeline, and this tunnel background is undoubtedly CG-created.

However, he still did not use a blue screen, but hung Liu Ye in front of the curtain wall on the set, and the "rough version" of the time tunnel picture was projected on the curtain wall.

In later stages, this rough version of the background will be replaced with a more detailed CG image, which naturally requires a lot of keying and wire erasing.

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

Just one word: true!

"Havoc in Heaven", which is known as the pinnacle of domestic special effects, has too many pure digital special effects, resulting in most background distortions, and it takes two or three years in vain, otherwise it will definitely be much better than the original.

Day by day, the actors have also finished one after another, and the last scene is a scene in the cylindrical space station, and a complete set is built in the studio of more than 6,000 square meters.

Basketball courts, schools, hospitals, supermarkets, shopping streets, defying gravity, are everywhere.

Out of the earth, Newton can't take care of it.

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

The cylindrical space station is a microcosm of an earlier human migration program, which was propelled into space by nuclear power and then artificial to create a sun, rotating to create gravity.

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

Next is the long post-production, but fortunately, Tiangong Yicai and thousands of special effects personnel from several other special effects companies have been preparing since half a year ago, and they are completely in time.
