"All departments ready!"

"The actors are in place!"

"Scene 42, one shot, one shot!"

"Let's go!"

In mid-March, filming for Edge of Tomorrow continued.

It's all scattered short shots, and there are hardly many shots longer than 5 seconds.

Often as soon as Tang An shouted, the action director team pulled the tightrope, and the actor was swept away and blown out violently.

Sometimes one, sometimes two or three, sometimes seven or eight people were swept away by the mimic.

The fragmented shots, the main thing is that they can't be messed up, and the shooting is relatively smooth.

After some scenes were filmed, Tang An would have a copy of the film sent back to Beijing for post-production.

Do special effects while shooting, time is tight, and the task is urgent.

Fortunately, "Edge of Tomorrow" is all real shooting, and in addition to Tiangong Brilliance, it is also outsourced to two other top special effects companies in China, one of which was opened by James Cameron.

Films like "Transformers" are really time-consuming, and the most time-consuming scene takes 288 hours, nearly 12 days, to render a frame.

One second is generally 24 frames, which means that it takes up to 298 days for a one-second scene, a computer can do a one-second play in 298 days, and 300 computers can work together to complete a one-second play in a day.

And Transformers takes more than 200,000 hours of rendering time per day, which equates to 22.8 years of rendering time in 24 hours.

This is still a render farm consisting of thousands of workstations with 64 cores and 64 GB of memory.

"Edge of Tomorrow" is completely useless, only aliens need to do CG in this film, and the total appearance time is not more than ten minutes.

The filming of the movie is proceeding in an orderly manner, and most of the short shots of the beach battlefield have been filmed, especially the action scenes involving aliens, and the production can begin in the post-production stage.

Today's filming is the rivalry between Liu Ye and Tang Yan, their second encounter.

The ground had been laid out, some scorched earth had been made, and the model airplane had been set on fire, but the pyrotechnician had already controlled the burn.

The explosives were planted in the demolition team.

"The smoke from the combustion was not big enough, and the explosives were first tried to be exploded three times. ”

"What about the makeup artist, re-apply makeup to Tang Yan, and be a little more embarrassed!"

"Lao Zhang, let's take a look at the effect here. ”

Half an hour later, the shooting began.

"All departments ready!"

"The actors are in place!"

"Twenty-seventh, one shot!"

"Let's go!"

At the scene of the war, Tang Yan's transport plane was also hit and crashed, and one side of the fuselage caught fire.

Just after repelling a mimic, Tang Yan pulled out the weapon that was flying next to him that resembled a giant ship slasher, clenched it with one hand, and looked ahead vigilantly.

The camera moves slowly from bottom to top, giving her a close-up of almost two seconds.

There was some blood on his face, his face was covered with dust, and his hair was a little messy, but his face was more serious, and his eyes were still cold.

The expressions of the whole film have not changed much, and Tang Yan has been doing a good job of filming for more than a month.

"Okay, pass!"

Then the twenty-seventh scene, two shots.

Liu Ye lay on the ground and looked at Tang Yan not far away, remembering that Tang Yan was attacked at this time on the battlefield before.

"Get out of the way!"

Liu Ye shouted, and with the help of Wei Ya, he slammed forward and pounced on Tang Yan.

"Click!"

"Come again!"

The first time I didn't grasp the timing to look good, the fourth time passed.

Then the two of them put on another make-up, and the makeup artist put some blood and scrapes on both of their faces.

A few seconds for a shot, and the time to stop and prepare is ten or twenty minutes.

The third shot begins.

"I've been shot! I've been shot!"

Liu Ye lay on Tang Yan and kept repeating this sentence, his tone a little weak.

Tang Yan under him frowned and struggled for a moment, and suddenly threw Liu Ye out.

Liu Ye, who was pulled by a wire rope, rolled around on the ground before being blocked by a pile of sand......

Liu Ye felt the condition of his body and inquired about his injuries.

"There's a hole in your chest!"

Tang Yan replied with such a sentence, groped around Liu Ye, and did not hesitate to take off the battery on his body and install it on his exoskeleton mecha.

At this time, there were three explosions in a row not far in front of them, four or five soldiers were blown away, there were constantly cannonballs dragging their long tails past, and there were also powerful fireballs launched by aliens, which showed the fierceness of the battle.

Tang Yan stood up, just glanced at Liu Ye the moment he turned around, and he didn't even stay for more than half a second, and quickly plunged into the battlefield again.

"Over!"

At half past six in the afternoon, the sky slowly darkened, and it was no longer suitable for filming, so Tang An asked everyone to call it a day.

In the past half a month, the crew has finished work relatively early, depending on the weather, even if there is lighting assistance, it will not exceed 7 o'clock at the latest, and it will be closed before 6 o'clock on a cloudy day.

The first one is that the sky is getting darker, and the other one is that although these scenes are simple, they can't be messed up.

Different resets in the same scene, Liu Ye's expression will have some subtle changes.

Later, fighting side by side again and again, and witnessing Tang Yan die in front of him again and again, his feelings had a subtle change of meaning.

After dinner, the crew rested, but Tang An still had to continue working.

It took an hour to finish reading today's materials and listening to the secretary Zhou Li report on some things in the company during this time.

"Chairman, "The Legend of Zhen Huan" has been officially established, and Director Zheng has also determined the actors. ”

Sun Li plays the female number one Zhen Huan.

Chen Jianbing plays the male number one Yongzheng.

Cai Shaofen plays the role of Queen Xiaojing.

Liu Xuehua plays the role of Empress Xiaogongren and Yongzheng's mother.

Li Tianzhu plays the chief eunuch Su Peisheng.

Jiang Xin plays Hua Fei Nian Shilan.

Wang Kai plays the role of Prince Guoyi.

Zhao Liying plays An Lingrong.

Wan Qian plays Shen Meizhuang.

Zhou Li reported the main actors one by one, several artists under the group have won important supporting roles, and Sun Li is still the heroine.

As for Wan Qian, she also joined Zhou Shiwei's studio under the introduction of Yang Wenjun half a month ago.

In addition to some important supporting roles, there are many actors who have become popular later.

Tang Yixin, Mao Xiaotong, Tan Songyun, Ying'er

There seems to be an artist from Huayi, but it's not a big deal.

"That's it, tell Mr. Zhuang, this drama will be handed over to Zheng Xiaolong, and send someone into the group to keep an eye on it. ”

"The total box office of "Thai Embarrassment" has reached 6.68, and there were 35 million in a single week last week, and the final box office is expected to be more than 700 million. ”

Tang An hasn't paid attention to the news of "Thai Embarrassment" for a long time, and for him this is a tool to make money, since the big explosion has been determined, there is no need to bother with it.

However, the 700 million box office met his expectations, after all, this is the data obtained on 6,500 screens, and later 15,000 screens were only 1.2 billion.

33% of the box office share, that is, 231 million, excluding the total cost of 60 million added one after another, a net profit of 171 million.

There is also a distribution fee of 14 million, and now that I have the ability to issue it, I will issue it with Bernard.

But after all, it is the first movie, Tang An only needs 2% of the distribution fee, and the bulk is still given to Berner, and the 8% distribution fee is a total of 56 million.

The 56 million is equivalent to one-third of Berner's net profit last year, and Yu Dong has to invite himself to drink.

Then Zhou Li reported on the company and some recent things in the entertainment industry.

"Chairman, there have been two Hollywood blockbusters released recently, and both of them have been converted to 3D, but the 3D effect is not good enough, and most of them are criticized. ”

"And"

"And what?"

According to Mr. Zhu's judgment, this is premeditated negative marketing, which came too quickly, and a large area of these voices appeared on the afternoon of the first day of release, and it was also labeled as pseudo-3D. ” ！！

Such a rapid negative marketing must have been prepared for a long time, Tang An thought for a while and asked, "Are there any other movies released during the same period?"

"There are three movies: "Koshihikari Treasure Box", "Future Police", and "Fire Dragon Showdown". ”

Xiaoma, China Film, Hualu Baina, and Uniasia, the main investors of the three films are these four.

However, Tang An instinctively thought that there was a problem, not the negative marketing done by these four companies.
