Chapter 238: Zhangjiajie
Xiangnan Province, Zhangjiajie National Forest Park, one of the famous tourist attractions in China.
At this time, the crew of "Havoc in Heaven" was filming scenes of Huaguo Mountain and Water Curtain Cave here.
Although there is no role of Zhou Yanfa in this part, he still followed the crew here.
And Li Mu naturally followed here, and after getting off work yesterday, he called Wang Zhongjun and learned that they were filming here, Li Mu immediately booked a ticket early in the morning and arrived.
is now filming the scene where Sun Wukong and the monkeys are playing together, and Li Mu, who is watching nearby, finds that they are actually planning to make a 3D movie.
This is because there is not one camera shooting from the front, but two cameras side by side on the same shelf.
In fact, 3D movies are not as complicated as people think, at least when shooting, they are not much more troublesome than 2D movies.
In fact, the earliest 3D movies existed as early as fifty or sixty years ago, and at that time it was still the oldest way of shooting.
It is to place two parallel 3D cameras to represent the left and right eyes of the person during shooting, and simultaneously shoot two movie images with slight horizontal parallax. During the projection, the two movie films are loaded into the left and right movie projectors, and two polarizers with polarization axes at 90 degrees to each other are installed in front of the projection lens. The two projectors need to run in sync and project the picture on the metal screen at the same time to form a double image of the left and right images.
When the audience wears special polarizing glasses, the left eye can only see the picture taken by the camera on the left, and the right eye can only see the picture shot by the camera on the right.
However, the post-production cost of this method is too large, so most of the previous 3D movies are only written scientific and educational films.
Now the crew of "Havoc in Heaven" uses side-by-side 3D cameras, that is, the two cameras are in close positions, post-processing is relatively easy, and the cost is greatly less, the key is that the shooting process is relatively easy.
However, now there is a new type of 3D camera, which uses a single-camera dual-lens structure, which is relatively easier to shoot and process, and the cost has shrunk again.
As for why Huayi didn't choose the latest 3D camera, Li Mu doesn't know.
In fact, a considerable number of 3D movies in movie theaters are just converted from 2D.
To put it in layman's terms, 2D to 3D can be understood as cutting out the foreground, middle ground, and background of the 2D picture, re-pasting it on a three-dimensional dynamic relief, and then shooting it again with a virtual camera that represents the left and right eyes respectively, and then showing it out to become the so-called "pseudo-3D movie" of 2D to 3D.
This kind of conversion of a 2D movie into a 3D movie only costs five or six million in China, and spending these millions can double the ticket price, which is no wonder that so many producers choose to convert to 3D.
......
"Click!"
With the director's order, a scene was filmed immediately.
And the director Wuer walked towards Li Mu after shouting to stop, obviously people also discovered him as an uninvited guest.
"Director Li is here, welcome Li Mu to guide the work!" Wu Erfan greeted Li Mu with a smile.
Li Mu hurriedly waved his hand, "What kind of guidance is not directed, I haven't made a 3D movie yet, isn't this just like Director Wu asking for advice!"
Ulfan smiled, "What 3D is not 3D, it is no different from ordinary movies, it is mainly post-production!"
Li Mu said, "That's what I said, but the pictures taken by the two cameras must also be horizontal, and it doesn't depend on the director and photographer!"
The two chatted about the filming of the movie, and Li Mu brought up the matter, "I must have known about Director Wu when I came this time!"
Wu Er Fan smiled, "Wang Dong has already told me, Fa Ge is over there, Director Li, go by yourself!"
Li Mu said, "Then Wu Dao is busy, I'll take care of myself!"
After Li Mu finished speaking, he walked towards Zhou Yanfa in the crowd.
Although he doesn't have his role now, he still insists on finishing work with the crew every day, and he will come to the scene as long as he is filming.
"Hello Brother Fa!" Li Mu walked over and greeted with a smile!
The group performers who were originally chatting around Zhou Yanfa subconsciously gave up a position when they saw Li Mu coming.
With "The Return of the Great Sage" sitting on the position of the champion in film history, Li Mu, who was already famous, is now directly following top directors such as Zhang Yimou and Feng Xiaogang.
These group performances will inevitably be a little restrained in the face of such a big director.
However, Zhou Yanfa's actions made Li Mu scratch his head.
"Oh, Mr. Li is here, is he asking me to make a movie?" Zhou Yunfa sat down and didn't get up.
Hearing Zhou Yanfa's salty and non-salty response, Li Mu was a little stunned, as if he hadn't offended Brother Fa before, why did he tone this way!
Wait a minute!
Listening to him seems to know the purpose of my visit!
I wiped it, I was cheated by Wang Zhongjun, it must have been told by Wang Zhongjun, no wonder Fa Ge has this attitude!
It's a little difficult to do now, an actor of Fa Ge's level is not easy to invite, and now he has a bad sense of himself preconceivedly.
However, there is indeed no one in the entertainment industry who is more suitable for Yuan Shao in this drama than him, whether it is image, acting skills or popularity, Zhou Yunfa is definitely a perfect candidate.
So Li Mu could only bite the bullet and continue to persuade, "I really want to invite Fa Ge to star in my new film "Zhao Zilong", I just communicated with Wang Dong about the schedule before, if there is anything presumptuous to do, I hope Fa Ge you don't mind!"
Wow!
The billion-dollar director invited Zhou Yanfa to film!
Big news!
The group performer next to him heard the conversation between the two, and his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly pricked up his ears and listened carefully.
Zhou Runfa's face looked a lot better when he heard his explanation, when he heard Wu Ershan tell him that Li Mu and Wang Zhongjun discussed inviting him to filming, Zhou Runfa was very angry, after all, he didn't come to him first to ask him to film, but went to talk to Wang Zhongjun, what did he think of him, and he was not an employee of Wang Zhongjun.
However, looking at these group performances around him, Zhou Yunfa didn't want everyone to make a fuss before the matter was decided, "You all go and prepare to start filming, and you have time to chat again!"
Everyone was a little disappointed when they heard this, and they didn't hear the exact news, but they had already issued an eviction order, so they could only leave obediently.
However, some shrewd people are already thinking in their hearts about preparing to sell this news at a good price, and now there are many reporters who follow the crew to Zhangjiajie, and Li Mu, a big director, can definitely sell it at a good price when he comes to Fa Ge to film!
