Chapter 125: Hollywood's Film Industry

Wang Jie holds the copyright in his hand that is the envy of the whole Hollywood, in addition to the "Mission Impossible" series, there are also "Charlie's Angels" series, "Planet of the Apes" series, "007" series, etc., now the CG technology is not mature, but when the big ship is released, I am afraid that Wang Jie will become a public enemy of Hollywood!

Xiangjiang films are moving towards glory at the same time, they are also moving towards the abyss, despite the butterfly Wang Jie, but in addition to DreamWorks and Golden Harvest, Xiangjiang also attaches more importance to quality issues, and other film and television companies have been restless and will only follow suit.

Huaxia brokerage is about to enter a period of take-off, but in another three or five years, Huaxia film will usher in the "missing decade", at present, Wang Jie's cinema chain in Huaxia has spread to more than 20 large cities, these theaters in addition to showing DreamWorks in recent years "mental health" movies, the space vacated on the upper floor of the theater also has the function of a department store, Wang Jie does not want to lose money when Huaxia films are in trouble due to piracy and other problems.

In other words, after the rise of the Asian economy in the future, the top three Asian entertainment companies have carried out a variety of cooperation models with Hollywood, but they are different.

South Korea: I'll give you money, I'll stuff people into it, even if it's a trick, as long as he shows his face in Hollywood, he is a national hero.

RIBEN: I give you money, I don't just stuff people, I stuff maps and ideologies, and my culture must become the Asian mainstream recognized by Europe and the United States.

Huaxia: I used to be a dick and had no money to give, and then I became a nouveau riche and didn't want to give, but you still have to pinch your nose and hold me, because I have the second largest market in the world.

August 15, fine.

Wang Jie has been to Burbank many times, and he is already familiar with the road, and when he came to ILM, George Lucas had been waiting for a long time.

Wang Jie was wearing a neat casual suit and was in good spirits. The rest of the crew was somewhat depressed, and Liu Dehua was even more fearful.

The first assistant director, Tang Jili, went to inspect the location, so the first thing he saw was Nicole Kidman, who was both the female lead and the producer of the film. This is Nicole Kidman's new attempt.

"Hi William, it's a pleasure to see you again. ”

"Oh, so am I...... But didn't we just meet not so long ago?"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

The crew is ready to start filming tomorrow, and today is a familiar environment.

Towards the end of the evening, Jean Reno also came to the hotel and took everyone to eat an authentic French meal. He is quite tall, has stubble, and has a very vigorous appearance, but he still has the romantic and casual style of the French in his bones.

Everyone returned very late, and without waiting for a break, they were dragged downstairs again and given an inexplicable interview.

"Mission Impossible" Wang Jie invited 8 stylists, including 3 hairstylists and 2 special effects makeup artists. Everyone else is shared, but Nicole Kidman has her own.

Zhang Shuping has been thoroughly trained in the past few years, and the costume design is very reliable.

The main character, Ethan Hunter, is a slightly decadent second-year young man, so he wears a jacket with a high collar, which means hiding himself a little.

The heroine, Claire, is the wife of IMF Director Jim Phelps, and joins Ethan and Jim on a mission in Prague to prevent the leak of the secret agent list. To have the style of an urban strong woman, she wears a long women's trench coat on the outside, a women's suit inside, and shiny high-heeled leather shoes.

The scenes in Burbank are very simple, there are only a few scenes with lines, and the rest are a lot of action scenes.

The crew has already been prepared, and when Liu Dehua and Qiang Walter say OK, filming will start immediately. Wang Jie was not used to sitting, so he stood behind the camera, holding the walkie-talkie in one hand and waving violently with the other:

β€œAction!”

"Where are you going?"

"There is a mole in the department, and I want to inform the HSD. ”

Between questions and answers, the two walked out of the staircase. Liu Dehua shrugged his shoulders slightly, his body swayed lightly, and at the same time looked left and right. Jon Walter has a straight waist, his eyes don't squint, and he has a serious expression on his face.

The efficiency of the crew was extremely high, and the second scene was filmed immediately. The main vein of this movie Wang Jie follows the original, commercial movie, as long as it looks cool enough, as long as the specific acting details are on the average.

At the end of September, Cheng Long's self-directed and self-starred "Die Hard" was released in 1,000 theaters in North America, which was a script provided by Wang Jie, and the production and distribution party was given full authority to its subsidiary Luen Mei Pictures.

Although it was screened more than a year later than the original time and space, the film still became popular. The horror hijacking, lonely pride, and thrilling fighting described in it all deeply attracted the hearts of the audience. The North American box office broke through more than $28 million in its first month.

East of Los Angeles, the headquarters of Burbank Industrial Light & Magic.

This is Lucasfilm's No. 1 soundstage, with some of the world's most high-end technology and a super hangar. In addition to this, it is also one of the most advanced special effects bases for Industrial Light & Magic.

A lot of the filming of the "Mission Impossible" crew will be carried out here.

Wang Jie sat in an indoor electric car and drove to the very edge. There's a converted warehouse with a huge space for any complex set setup, and can be tested in all directions to ensure that every angle is up to the mark.

"It's here!"

The car stopped, George Lucas jumped down first, and then Wang Jie.

I saw that the swarthy roof seemed to stretch infinitely, enveloping this magical area. The set is clearly divided into three parts according to the scale of the set, with the smallest on the left, the larger on the right, and the most eye-catching in the middle.

What looked like an iron box hung in the air, surrounded by several large rings, as well as numerous brackets and bases.

Wang Jie raised his head slightly and looked at this big guy carefully, from head to toe, from top to bottom, there was a cold and mysterious sense of science fiction. If he hadn't heard the jingle sound, he would have thought he was in the factory, not the set.

After Wang Jie greeted the special effects artists, he ran to George Lucas and asked quietly, "Hey, Lucas, I heard that you designed everything here?"

"Oh, I can't say that, Handneyland and Wallis Zebiak have also been very helpful. George Lucas was modest, but he couldn't hide the smugness.

Wang Jie smiled and said, "That's great, can you tell me about these things, especially that big guy." You know, I'm going to follow up on an overhead shot later. ”

"Ha, of course!" George Lucas readily agreed, and also saved a little bit of showing off.

George Lucas elaborates: "We approached a company and designed a rotating system to deliver electricity to the platform. Of course, this is a new way of operating, and we have to balance the weight of the high-speed camera so that the load does not move...... We put 8 concentric rings at equal distances on the outside, operated by two engines, and once we started running, we could reach speeds of up to 8 cycles per minute...... I've done a lot of rotating sets before, but this one was the biggest and most complicated. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Well, by the time George Lucas spits out a string of jargon and is infinitely proud of his work, Wang Jie has begun to despise him, isn't this an indoor aerial photography system, complex and clumsy.

To be honest, Chinese filmmakers really don't have much contact with Hollywood, and the few who will succeed in the future may not have the opportunity to have an in-depth understanding. So we've always wondered why Hollywood blockbusters are so good, and it's all due to the terrible power of Hollywood's film industry.
