Three days later, Ye Chen and Lin Hua rushed from the magic capital, and the crew officially started filming. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 Info Love Apartment 2 filming is complete, and only post-production remains. These were handed over to Huaxian's production department to deal with. That's why the two of them have time to come.

Lin Hua and Ye Chen came over this time as an assistant director with a false name, giving Han Qiu a hand and learning by the way.

Han Qiu naturally met the requirements of the two, in his heart, Hua Xian could not rely on him alone. In the future, when Ye Chen and Lin Hua have rich experience, sooner or later they will have to take over big productions and big movies by themselves, instead of sticking to sitcoms like love apartments.

And this Journey to the West, half of the crew is from Huaxian, and the rest are from Huayu and Huanyu, and these people have the main roles of producer, planner and so on in the crew.

In addition, Yuan Meng also came from Xiangjiang, but this time, the main photographer, Han Qiu, did not give it to her, but to a gringo.

The gringo, named Andy, is a photographer for Warner Bros.

Journey to the West is essentially a fantasy genre, and this time it will use 3D shooting and a large number of special effects synthesis. So Han Qiu found Warner Bros., who had worked together once.

This year, in addition to Dark War winning the Best Picture at the Xiangjiang Film Awards, in the United States, far across the ocean, Infernal Affairs has also won the appreciation of the Academy School and won the Oscar for Best Picture.

And Leonardo, Xiao Lizi, he was also successfully nominated for the Best Actor award for his outstanding performance. However, it is a pity that the competition for the Oscar is too fierce, and Xiao Lizi finally has no choice but to miss the award.

However, Warner Bros. is already very satisfied with getting the best film a year, not to mention that Infernal Affairs won the first box office in the summer file.

tasted the delicious fruit of Infernal Affairs, and Hollywood's attention to the Hanxia film industry gradually increased. Warner Bros. also has a good impression of Han Qiu and Hua Xian, who has been very successful in China.

This time, Han Qiu took the initiative to find Warner, hoping to get cutting-edge special effects technical support from them. Warner Bros. also pushed the boat downstream, sold Han Qiu a face, and also helped contact the top special effects design company in the United States, Industrial Light & Magic.

But face is face, but the money still has to be taken. As for how much, it depends on how much effort Warner and ILM will have to put in during the final post-production.

......

Lin Xia, Zhenbeibao Film and Television City.

Deep in the northwest, the sun is scorching, and the land is arid and desertified.

Journey to the West will be filmed in this desert.

In the previous life, Journey to the West was divided into two parts, a moonlight treasure box and a cinderella. On average, the duration of each part is about 90 minutes, and the two add up to three hours.

The plot content of these two parts is coherent, there is no time difference, and if the two are connected together, even if they are regarded as one, no one will have an illusion.

And Han Qiu plans to combine the two into one movie. Because if it is released separately, there will always be a time difference between the front and back of the movie, and the audience will intermittently forget a lot of plots, which will cause the audience to feel that they are not connected. If it is not done well, it is not impossible to fail at the box office.

A complete story is simply split in half, and whoever reads it will be unhappy. In the previous life, the reason why the box office of Journey to the West failed miserably was that in addition to the fact that the film was not suitable for that era, the film was split in half, which was also one of the reasons.

Therefore, the merger is inevitable.

It's just that the three-hour length of the film is obviously not in line with the current film market. Then, the only way to do this is to scale.

So, how do you go about scaling down?

According to Han Qiu's idea, the first Moonlight Treasure Box plays the role of foreshadowing and establishing the character image in the early stage of the whole story, and the second Cinderella is the climax and essence of the story.

Therefore, on the premise of not affecting the character image and plot, Han Qiu wanted to cut the first part and compress the second part. Among them, the nonsensical dialogue plot occupies a lot of time in the whole story, and these plots that do not play a role in advancing the plot can be simplified.

The nonsensical style may have been very popular in the previous life, but in this world, the nonsensical style has only appeared in Xiangjiang. In the mainland, there have never been nonsensical comedy movies at all.

Therefore, Han Qiu didn't want to make too many nonsensical plots.

Journey to the West is a comedy, but it is also a tragedy. The comedy part is supported by a nonsensical funny style, and the tragedy is supported by the plot. The reason why Journey to the West is impressive is that in the joyful atmosphere of comedy, it gives you an unforgettable tragic ending.

Under the huge gap between the front and back, the audience's emotions also fluctuated.

Isn't there an idiom called happiness and sorrow? Maybe the word doesn't mean it, but literally it means that.

Therefore, there must be nonsensical plots, and they are indispensable, but Han Qiu will only choose the most classic jokes to interpret, so that the whole plot can show this style.

In the previous life, it was because the nonsensical limelight suppressed the connotation of Journey to the West, so it was dusted for many years, until it was interpreted by more and more people, and it was not allowed to reappear in the world.

But reality will not give Han Qiu a few years to interpret, and in this increasingly impetuous era, people may not have so much patience.

For Han Qiu, he wants the profound connotation of Journey to the West, and he also wants the box office, and he doesn't want to give up either.

Then, we can only suppress the nonsensical plot a little and open one more door for the connotation of Journey to the West. The nonsense of Journey to the West in his previous life suppressed the play of connotation, and Han Qiu wanted to keep the two in balance.

Tragicomedy, sadness is a word, joy is also a word, everyone is open, only in this way can all the characteristics of Journey to the West be vividly shown to the audience!

Only in this way can a love that transcends time and space and a tragedy of fate be torn to pieces in front of the audience.

Not only to make you laugh and cry, but also to show you what is the naked reality!

..........

The desert is lonely, and the sun sets over the long river.

This poem is so apt to describe the desert of the Northwest.

Two days ago, the crew dispersed and filmed locations around the film and television city, looking for a suitable filming location by the way.

At the same time, Han Qiu also discussed with Warner's cinematographer Andy and the people of Industrial Light and Magic about the special effects synthesis in the script.

Foreigners, it is estimated that it is the first time to come to China, and they are very curious about the cultural environment of China. In addition to talking to Han Qiu about work, they have been playing in the film and television city for the past two days, eating delicious food, seeing beautiful scenery, and experiencing Chinese customs and culture.

Although they were playing, Han Qiu was very satisfied with their rigorous attitude at work, and they could complete every character modeling setting and every special effect model according to Han Qiu's requirements, and even put forward their own opinions to make it more perfect.

A few days later, the location was chosen. Han Qiu chose the first scene in a deserted small village in the desert.

Here, it's just right to be a bandit's den.

..........

In the evening, in the temporary residence of the film and television city, Zhou Xingchi came to Han Qiu's room with the script.

"Director Han, I want to ask you a few questions. ”

"Well, let's talk about it. ”

Zhou Xingchi sat down, picked up the script, pointed to the role of Supreme Treasure, and said: "I want to ask, how does Supreme Treasure behave." You say that Journey to the West is a comedy, but his ending is a tragedy. ”

"Now I'm just a little bit conflicted, what should I do? ”

Han Qiu nodded, and shook his head again, "You should know what nonsense means, right?"

"Well, I know that. ”

"That's it. Han Qiu smiled, "Nonsensical, that is, all actions have no reason. When you perform the Supreme Treasure, you don't have to deliberately want to achieve any effect, what kind of person he is, you can act as you want, just be natural. The script and lines are here, and the words on it are innocent, so I don't need to say more, right?"

"You just have to follow the script and set up the image and characteristics of the characters. ”

Zhou Xingchi nodded, and then left with the script.

Han Qiu sighed faintly in place, "It seems that in this life, I have met a pure person. ”
