Chapter 515: Ruthless but Annoyed by Affection, Why Don't You Make an Air Combat Movie?
"Congratulations husband!"
"Congratulations on what?"
"Best Actor, Supporting Actor!"
"That's not your husband's take. β
"Hahaha, it's the same. β
"Okay, my wife has a mouth. β
"Haha......"
After the award ceremony, Hai Qing's phone came over immediately, and the two of them came to show their affection from a distance, but Wu Xiang was immediately found by a woman, and he had to go......
"Congratulations!"
"Congratulations on what?"
"Best Actor, Supporting Actor?"
"I didn't win an award. β
"But someone has won an award for your film!"
"Okay, you can congratulate me, but, Amanda, you're actually in a can't get mentality right now, do you understand? Because you can't get it, you think I'm so good, you should see it......"
"What do I say I can't get?"
'What can't you get', do you need to say?
Okay, Wu Xiang has to admit that what this guy is doing now is a double standard, but Wu Xiang can't say it so clearly, he has to say: "I'm talking about this from a man's point of view, men are like this, what you can't get is the best, you should find something else......"
Unexpectedly, Amanda giggled, "Do you think men and women are the same? No wonder you shoot G@Y so well and win the Oscar, hehehe......"
"Amanda ......" is useless to say, Wu Xiang's face will naturally not look good.
"You don't have to say anything more. I'm a professional actor, I'll show my professionalism, what do you have in mind?"
didn't wait for Wu Xiang to finish speaking. Amanda left, although she took the initiative to call Wu Xiang.
Because I want to talk about something, that is, the two of them have collaborated on the "Edge of Tomorrow" before and have to start promotion, this movie is scheduled for the summer, and the world is almost synchronized, so naturally the publicity matter has to be put on the agenda now, so. Amanda asked Wu Xiang to talk, can he still go?
But to be honest, Wu Xiang also knew that this would be the result. Amanda just doesn't eat oil and salt now, no matter how you say it.
Is it really that much loved?
Wu Xiang couldn't help but touch his old face, well, it's really not an old face. The perennial fitness made Wu Xiang's face not rough at all. But is that all there is to it?
Trouble, trouble, trouble......
Ruthless but annoyed by affection!
Is this verse wrong?
No, Wu Xiang is in such a state now.
Wu Xiang was a little troubled, and the creators of "Dallas Buyers Club" and "Inception" were celebrating, and now that he was in such a bad mood, he naturally didn't go, an Oscar ceremony. This guy ...... Oh no, it can't be said that you didn't get anything. The organizing committee also prepared gifts for every guy who didn't win the prize.
Those who didn't win the award had gifts, and those who won the prize had nothing, only the little golden man.
A gift worth $80,000, just count it yourself.
Actually, it's boring, it's better to go out and celebrate with them, but now that I've said it, we can't talk and don't count, right?
Go online and find something to watch...... This is how Wu Xiang passed his lonely nights in the United States, but don't say it, it really made him find something good.
I don't know who it is, I put some things on the turtle, there is his work "The Loveliest Man", there are a lot of comments at the bottom, and the American imperialist people also like the ones that are on the line, but there are also many that are good-looking. In addition, Wu Xiang saw some individual, there are videos about the Korean War, and I think about it, I am afraid that this is the account of a Chinese person, or an American who studies this period of history.
"Huaichai Power...... On the eve of the 60th anniversary of the founding of the Chinese Air Force, Wang Hai, former commander-in-chief of the Air Force, visited the largest fighter jet museum in Asia...... Is this your plane? I was shot more than 20 times at one time?...... It's my ...... Haha, once my wingman got 29 shots and came back......"
This video is special, this is a documentary, about the battle between our Air Force and the United States Air Force, the strongest in the world at that time, on the Korean battlefield!
This documentary is quite long, Wu Xiang was fascinated when he watched it, he thought this film was very good, very good, so ......
Why don't you make a movie about this war?
A movie of an air battle!
When this idea came out of his mind, Wu Xiang himself was taken aback, because of the air combat movie, this is not an ordinary difficult film!
Needless to say, you have to have the expertise, right?
Wu Xiang is a director, not a pilot, so he doesn't know what kind of difficulties he will encounter in the air.
Although Wu Xiang is a director, he also knows that airplanes, especially fighter jets, are definitely not as simple as we ordinary people imagine in the air, and it is difficult to imagine the bumpy state of fighter jets.
The plane is flying in the air, it is not smooth sailing, as a perennial trapeze, Wu Xiang naturally understands this truth, and the bump of the fighter can be seen from some videos that can be found at random.
So, fighter air combat, where is the thing that you can solve by moving the joystick and pressing a few buttons?
And looking at the entire history of world cinema, well, this background is a bit big, but to be honest, it is indeed the case, that is, there are very few good air combat movies!
What makes a good air combat movie?
Top Gun, Star Wars, Independence Day...... Sounds strange, how can this still be a science fiction movie?
But the reality is like this, the good, high-grade, high-grossing air combat movies of recent years, that's all, isn't it, this "Star Wars" is also considered a prequel in recent years?
To be honest, it's not a prequel, but. It can also be seen that there are not many good air combat movies sincerely.
Relatively speaking, the previous one. That is, there are still a lot of air combat movies that reflect the 2nd World War II, but those films have a characteristic, they are all old-fashioned propeller planes!
Wu Xiang has watched many, many films since he was a child, and his own experience is like this, that is, when our films need to make air combat films with higher technology components, it is often unsatisfactory.
Let's talk about "Star Wars", the air combat in that film is carried out in space. But in space, there is a sound in the air battle in the movie, and there is the sound of laser cannons firing!
Shouldn't this have a sound?
Space is close to a vacuum. You can't hear any sound.
To put it bluntly, in fact, there are certain Cheng dΓΉ flaws, but the problem is that it is too realistic and cannot achieve the desired effect. For example, Tom's "Top Gun". If you don't shoot so bloody, how can you achieve the effect of recruiting the Air Force?
This film is actually an advertisement for the US Air Force, a recruitment advertisement.
And the most important thing now is that this air battle was a matter of the past, and this was very interesting back then.
The so-called year was the first large-scale air battle of jet fighters in the history of mankind!
That's right. It was the first jet fighter air combat, a real first. And it's also the largest jet fighter air battle ever held, and there's a huge problem with that.
Where to find the plane?
This may seem like a small problem, but it's actually a very difficult thing to do.
Because of the progress of technology, all those jet fighters have been eliminated, and the problem is that this is a jet fighter, and everyone knows how the war was fought back then, so you can't find a propeller plane to fool the past!
It's a bit of a twist, to put it simply, that's the point in time, it's the time when technological innovation is at its fastest, and we can hardly find what we did back then, while the previous generation of airplanes had it, but it couldn't meet the needs of shooting at all.
It's just stuck there, that's it.
When a director wants to shoot something, he often thinks about a special reality, because only when you think about it like this, can you really shoot something, and we can't make it up out of thin air.
CG, computer animation, what about using this?
Wu Xiang thought of this method, but the problem is that if there is no real shooting, it is all computer stunts, which is somewhat fake. Even if it's a green screen technology, it's not completely nothing, sometimes you need some physical objects to come out to make it fake, otherwise it's easy for people to see, and it's too expensive to do that.
It's not impossible for a movie to be made entirely in CG, but on the one hand, it will be seen, and on the other hand, the cost is ......
This is another important problem, that is, although the air combat movies are grand and have a very lofty feeling, except for those science fiction films, the box office of other air combat movies is not very good.
This is the case in all countries, let's just say that there was a good "Top Secret Flight" before, but this movie integrated a lot of big-name stars, and in the end it was sprayed by fans, and investors didn't even get it back.
Therefore, air combat movies are risky, and investment needs to be cautious.
Then let's not shoot?
Wu Xiang thinks that he still wants to shoot very much!
People are sometimes like this, as soon as they are concerned about something, they can't get out, they just want to do it, otherwise, they will be troubled, especially when they are already very troubled.
Clap!
Wu Xiang finally made this decision, anyway, we are experienced now, we have already made a film to resist US aggression and aid Korea before, and now I have also made a large-scale green screen movie, that is, "Edge of Tomorrow", that is to say, the technology we can use at hand should be enough.
And such a good subject, why not shoot it?
If you get out, even if you lose money, we'll do it!
Air combat movies, domestic air combat movies have always been very cheating daddies, can we end the history of this cheating dad? (To be continued......)
PS: Thank you for the monthly pass for the black car, thank you very much for the black car!
