Chapter 545 [Unconfident Heroine (2)]
(Ask for a double commuter pass!)
……
It's really busy, and the preparation for the first English-language film "The Hunger Games" of the American Reservoir Dogs Company is in full swing and has entered the final stage of casting and filming for the protagonist. The second film of the domestic Reservoir Dogs Studio, which has been officially named "Gravity", has also entered the final preparations before the start of filming.
The film has not been announced to the public, and not even a promotional conference has been held.
But who called him "eye-catching" recently. It was impossible to hide such a big movement, and the reporters began to make a special report according to the clues, which instantly pushed him to the forefront.
Does Chen Ergou have box office appeal?
An unknown kid who has gone from the Internet to TV, and from variety shows to the big screen, according to past practice, is simply a commodity that no one cares about. But some people are born to create miracles, and the two variety shows they lead are both well-known and of excellent quality.
A documentary "Barbossa" unexpectedly won the global box office of more than 300 million US dollars, becoming the biggest dark horse of the year, and there is no one who is disgraced by many big domestic directors.
The faster it becomes popular, the more black fans there are, who doesn't want to climb up these days, Chen Ergou is an explosive household.
He was very rich before, and he became even richer after the big sale of "Barbossa". And he is still young, and with capital, he will naturally not sit idly by, and he will naturally want to further stabilize his career.
But the span from a "Hengdian dead trick" to a "50 million dollar big-budget film director" is still a bit too disparity, plus the headline party reports of the "shocking" series that the media broke -
"Shocked! Chen Ergou is preparing a new movie Hollywood behind-the-scenes team!", "Shocked! Full 3D camera shooting!", "Shocked! Gilmour as the producer, Warner as the global distributor, and the investment of more than 50 million US dollars......"
The title is very scary, but these things are not far from ten, which makes people feel even more unbalanced, and scolding him for misleading the country, drilling camps, and hypocrisy are all old routines.
Chen Ergou knew very well that if he wanted to be red, he had to withstand the black first, and he had to stand firm in this wave.
Hollywood is quite concerned about Chen Ergou's new developments, but the domestic industry is not optimistic about his appetite, and most of the media have begun to pour cold water, and there are not a few old film and television companies who speak coldly in the circle.
Fortunately, not everyone has no vision, after the crew's efforts and public relations, they recently opened the door to the National Aviation Center and obtained the support of the China Manned Space Engineering Office, they promised to give technical and theoretical support, and help build a model of the Tiangong spacecraft, and can also send a reserve astronaut as a technical guide.
This news is the only information released by the crew, and for the first time on the official Weibo of Reservoir Dogs, the official blog of the Space Center also responded, saying that the cooperation was happy!
The two simple microblogs just interacted with each other, but they immediately caused an uproar on the Internet.
"What kind of background does the dog master have, and he can get the support of this mysterious department!"
"Why did this film need the support of the Space Center? Is it a science fiction film or a space movie? ”
"Space center, is there a tall and tall in an instant, does the country want to support the debut of the dog master!"
"666, is the dog going to counterattack again, suddenly I'm looking forward to it~"
"If you don't accept it, you will do it, Feng Cannon's new film will be released at the end of the year, and the dog master will scold him again, our army of 30 million dog masters will support you!" If Chen Ergou really does this, Feng Dacang will probably not sleep well.
The support of the space center is enough to dilute all the gloom. But why are they willing to support the filming of space films?
This is also the focus of discussion among countless media and netizens, because there is no precedent in China, and if you look at the world and compare it, the truth will soon become clear.
The history of science fiction film development is actually a history of communication between film and science, and the two complement each other.
NASA has always been inseparable from Hollywood blockbusters, dating back to Kubrick's "2001: A Space Odyssey" in 1968.
Many people know a lot about space films, and they are no strangers to NASA, the person behind them.
This amazing institution has been far more involved in movies than you might think, from the giant capsule of 2001: A Space Odyssey, to the candlelight lighting in Barry Lindon, to the life-and-death correspondence of Apollo 13, to the sky-high cost of spacesuits in Apocalypse...... Thousands of films, documentaries and TV series have been assisted by NASA. It's like Hollywood's personal "Dr. Q", always able to come up with sophisticated new gadgets, and many crews are even stationed next to the rocket launch pad.
It can be said that the reason why Hollywood can make hard science fiction is indispensable is the "hard power" support of NASA. The "special acknowledgement" on the curtain call subtitles of the sci-fi blockbusters is the best proof of this.
In addition to being provided by NASA theory, venues, equipment, technical support, and even actors, Mike Massimino, who went to space with Hoard in "The Big Bang Theory," is a real astronaut.
As a large research institution, NASA understands the importance of screen image. Participating in film and television production can increase your influence in the eyes of the public. In addition to Hollywood, India's Bollywood is another important "customer" of NASA.
The China Space Administration is supported by the state, and CCTV reports the whole process every time there is a major space event, but such reports can only form a temporary limelight. They also need to let the people know what they are doing, so that the aerospace industry can win more people's attention and support.
This relationship is not difficult to understand, after all, whether through a camera or a telescope, people are actually looking up at the same starry sky.
The successive big news also made Tang people realize that Chen Ergou was not a petty fight. Cai Yinong can't restrain Chen Ergou now, and the two are now in a cooperative relationship. So just after the filming of the TV series ended, I asked Master Li to go to the crew of "Gravity".
Master Li is very dedicated, and he didn't even take a break after filming a drama, but he had already devoted himself to the new crew and started training.
Because this drama is the heroine who carries the beam, Master Li knows that his performance will directly affect the final achievement of this play.
Especially after such a large investment is sprinkled, I feel that "Yali Mountain is big". Chen Ergou is very busy, and Shenlong sees the beginning and the end all day long, and only appears at night, to help her read the script together, help analyze and discuss the role, and study the character's heart and performance state.
She has long been familiar with the script, but the more she analyzes it, the more she feels that the protagonist is difficult to play. Occasionally, I was overwhelmed, and in the dead of night, I lay on the boat and muttered, "I knew that the investment was so big, I wouldn't have taken it!"
The outside world questioned her clearly, these remarks were too harsh, making her completely unconfident!
"I don't know what kind of potential Chen Ergou likes in her, and he wants to press the treasure on her. ”
Thinking of this, her heart became more and more confused, she didn't know how to face Chen Ergou.
Fortunately, the subsequent practice made her have no time to take care of him.
The basic training before the start of filming covers all aspects, except for the lack of theoretical knowledge education and necessary medical knowledge, rescue techniques and psychological training, almost all of them are carried out according to the specifications of astronauts, especially the sports training programs that may be used in the shooting.
……
God knows how many graduate school students you have to go through as an astronaut?
On the first day that Master Li got this list of sports training items, he wanted to fall to the ground and pretend to be dizzy. These include fuhu, swinging, swimming, water skiing, surfing, skiing, climbing, and trampolines.
After that, I have to go to the Air Force to participate in the flight experience, with the help of the equipment of the space center to conduct overweight training, weightlessness training and simulated space environment training, etc.
The average astronaut needs at least 3 years to train and select, and they only have one month to adapt.
Master Li practiced every day and sweated all over his body, and he almost couldn't hold on. Fortunately, Chen Ergou has also been training with her. Compared to Chen Ergou's training volume, she is just drizzle.
"I'm so tired~"
She was as tired as a dog, unable to lie on the cushion, but she had not been able to complete the training volume for the day. But seeing that Chen Ergou on the other side easily flipped a hundred front flips in succession, his face was only slightly red.
"Papapa~"
There was applause around, and even the instructors who trained were praising him, "One hundred front flips in 8 minutes, I don't know if I broke the record." But with your physical fitness, if you sign up for the Air Force, you will probably be a pilot by now!"
Master Li was envious in his heart, "It's so strong!"
With such a large amount of training, it is natural that the nutrition must keep up.
"Master, you can take your time in training and don't hurt yourself. I brought the sauce beef, you come and taste it~"
Master Li took a hard breath of the aroma, feeling that the saliva was about to fall out, but he still said with a straight face: "Thank you, no need, I ordered a box lunch by myself!"
“……”
It's really just a little heartwarming, except for the work status, Master Li basically ignores Chen Ergou.
I'm not as enthusiastic as before when I'm alone, and I always feel like I'm deliberately keeping a distance from him. Before Chen Ergou had time to get close to the goddess, he was splashed back to "before liberation" with a scoop of cold water.
Chen Ergou naturally knew the reason, and only smiled bitterly in his heart, but there was nothing he could do.
But he doesn't have time to pay attention to it for the time being, the last issue of "The Law of the Jungle" is about to start, and he wants to say goodbye to the crew for the time being.
