Chapter 208: Planning (2/5)

Walking out of the special effects company, Zhang Junsheng glanced at Guo Fan, who was still immersed in the special effects shot just now, and couldn't help but remind: "Old Guo, you have to understand that without a story, no matter how good the special effects are, they are always just technology!"

“… I know!"

"Do you really know?"

“… Then you know that the Film Bureau has issued a new rule that only producers with a box office of more than 500 million yuan can receive the highest reward of 10 million yuan..."

"You know, last year, our company won tens of millions of rewards..."

"Now it's changed!"

"Changed, changed to what?"

Guo Fan smiled: "Only for high-tech format (3D, giant screen) film rewards!"

“… That... And 2D movies just gave up?"

The first time Zhang Junsheng heard of this strange regulation...

Frankly speaking, the Film Bureau has contributed a lot to domestic films, not to mention anything else, in terms of theaters, it is stipulated that as long as the annual box office and the box office share of domestic films accounts for 51 percent, the special film funds handed over for the screening of domestic films will be returned in full!

Five percent is not a small number!

Also, there are rewards for building a cinema...

Otherwise, why do you think theaters are looking forward to high-quality domestic films so much?

Screening domestic films makes more money than showing Hollywood blockbusters!

“… When will this rule be implemented?"

"Starting in August this year!" Guo Fan continued, "I guess they want us to catch up technologically..."

"Hehe, there are policies and countermeasures, and I am worried that a batch of domestic "pseudo-3D" movies will be born!"

"Pseudo... Pseudo-3D?"

"It's like "Painted Skin 2", post-conversion, not to mention 3D, the picture is not even 2.5D!"

After a pause, Zhang Junsheng sighed: "3D is just a shooting technology for movies, and the technology is a shooting method used to match the storyline and better tell the story, but now it is overly admired, and it has lost the core that the film should pay attention to - the story." ”

"That's... So how do we do that?"

"Yuehua is the industry leader, and he must not do anything that harms the development of the film, in this way, a few of us made an announcement on Weibo, saying that it is not recommended that everyone watch the 3D version of "Painted Skin 2", and the later conversion of 3D is only pseudo-3D at most, in addition to the IMAX screening hall, there are also top giant screen screening halls that can see the effect, and if you can't buy tickets, just watch the 2D one!"

“… No, Mr. Zhang, will this damage the box office of "Painted Skin 2"?"

"Is the box office important or word-of-mouth important? The most important thing for a listed company is the company's reputation, not the success or failure of a movie!"

Last year's "Love Has an Afterlife" was a profound lesson...

……

Inside the Suzhou studio.

Now in the filming of the final scene, it is the scene where someone jumped from the window on the third floor of the hotel when the earthquake occurred, and then he was hit by a falling sign and a stone.

It is impossible to shoot this kind of shot to really drop a sign from the air and hit the actor, it can only be synthesized by computer.

Although it's a dragon role, you can't be so indifferent to other people's lives and deaths...

And this is a close-up with a big shot, Lao Hu volunteered to take on this role, Zhang Junsheng thought about it and agreed-he was filming "Life and Death" next door, and it was easy to make a cameo...

Besides, Lao Hu is used to hanging Weiya, and he is about to find an actor who has never experienced Weiya, maybe something will happen...

This shot is not very complicated, first shoot the building, then wrap the building with a real green screen, the actor jumps down from the window, and finally put a green dummy at the place where the actor lands, and the sign and stone fall from the air and smash on the dummy;

After the three shots are taken, the green screen is cut off, overlapped together, and it's done!

But the actor needs to jump from five floors, and despite the Wia, it is especially dangerous ...

Thanks to Lao Hu, there is no fear of heights!

With good makeup, Lao Hu stood on the balcony of the building, and the staff turned his head and made an OK gesture after carefully checking the safety equipment on his body.

"Come, prepare, let's get started!"

Zhang Junsheng stood up, the last shot, it must be smooth!

Then, Lao Hu jumped out of the window under the pull of Wia...

There is nothing difficult about jumping off the building, just jump!

But after jumping, you have to do some movements, the expression of being hit by a stone, etc., the time point, the part, and the expression must be accurate, so Lao Hu jumped seven or eight times before he completed the shooting!

At the end of the shot, Zhang Junsheng carefully checked it 100 million times, and nodded at Guo Fan next to him, who picked up the speaker: "Okay, I announce that "Tangshan Earthquake" is finished!"

Zhang Junsheng also sighed a little!

"Tangshan Earthquake" is probably the movie with the longest shooting cycle since he started filming, and the original "A Chinese Ghost Story" was not so strenuous!

The investment of 500 million plus global publicity is likely to reach 1 billion in the end...

This is Zhang Junsheng's first attempt at a big production!

The total number of crew members reached 4,000 at the most!

For countless firsts, he felt that he had done quite well, and after the movie was finished, what the final result would be, it would take a year for the audience to test it...

……

At the finale banquet, the atmosphere was quite warm.

Most of the behind-the-scenes staff involved in "Tangshan Earthquake" are staff who have survived several crews with Zhang Jun, and it is the first time for them to shoot such a big production!

Participating in large-scale productions is a symbol of seniority.

Let's put it this way, these people can get a more decent salary with the help of their work experience in "Tangshan Earthquake"...

Behind the scenes, work experience is more important than ideas...

"Director Zhang, don't say anything else, if you need a prop master in the future, I will definitely arrive with a phone call!"

“… Thank you!"

"Director Zhang, thank you!"

"You're welcome..."

Zhang Jun was born to refuse, of course, most people toasted, he just took a sip...

The finale banquet also pays attention to rank, hundreds of people have come to Zhang Junsheng to toast, he... He can't drink it either!

In addition to Zhang Junsheng, the most popular is Yan Bingyan, after all, she is a Cannes actress...

Even when filming in the crew, Yan Bingyan obviously felt that the coffee position was different, and in two months, Yuehua bought two months of news releases, which directly stirred up the news popularity of Wang Bo, Wang Qianyuan, and Yan Bingyan!

Let's put it this way, even if you don't know them, you've heard their names...

The purpose of this is very simple, continue to squeeze the market, some people are always boasting about the acting skills of Hong Kong actors, and now, Yuehua has praised three Cannes-level actors in one go!

Not only to overpower them in the new generation, but also to compete with them in the middle generation!

Wang Qianyuan's next drama "Room No. 7 Gift", he is the protagonist, the supporting roles are found Liang Jiahui, Ren Dahua, and the heroine is still Zhang Zifeng...

Wang Bo took over "Veteran", he partnered with the company's newly signed Huang Xuan, and the supporting role found Huang Qiusheng...

swept away the embarrassing situation that the mainland acting school was only worthy of being a supporting role!

However, Yan Bingyan's next development is a little embarrassing, she... After all, it's not a commercial star...

Zhang Junsheng thought about whether to let her be the chief examiner of the third season of "I Am an Actor"...
