Chapter 307: Everything is ready (three watches)
[It's not naivety that defeats us, it's naïve heat! Even if it is on the shelves in the middle of the month, we will rush all the way to the eleventh position of the monthly ticket list, and the last month's ticket list is no longer a naïve dream. But eleven is eleven, and no matter how many tickets don't make it to the top ten, it's in vain. We are still 117 monthly passes away from tenth, and in the last few days, I hope to fight with my brothers until the last moment! 】
……
The next day, the crew entered the filming stage.
The sci-fi elements of the whole film are like "The Matrix" and "New York metaphor", with anti-physics discussions, wonderful action scenes, impactful emotions, and some surprising performances.
Anyone who has watched the movie will find it a clever film, rich in detail, with an intricate narrative that takes people into a subconscious labyrinth.
Now that it has fallen into the hands of Hu Yifei, it is natural to carry it forward even more.
In order to inject more realism into this sci-fi blockbuster that "happened in a dream", in addition to a large number of extremely shocking visual scenes completed by computer special effects, the entire filming location also includes many real-life shooting locations, trying to increase the authenticity of the story with the most realistic world background.
Because the location is different, the shooting will not follow the timeline. Shooting according to the location is the best choice.
In this case, some of the plots in the middle may not be experienced by the actors during filming, which requires the actors to fully understand the entire content of the script.
On the top floor of the skyscraper, the staff had already worked overtime half a month in advance to build a magnificent Chinese palace-style castle in the air, but all this will be filmed within ten days, and it will be completely destroyed by the "flood" in the end.
Here's the story that is about to happen: The tycoon, played by Liu Tianwang, will present his unusual business issues to Cobb, played by Hu Yifei, and Arthur, played by Joseph, in order to sell dream protection, but in fact to steal bank passwords. This is the beginning of the story and will determine the main line of the whole story.
Jacques Kimchi, the set director of the crew, contributed a lot in this scene.
He is an experienced set set, as well as a well-known prop master in Hollywood, having worked on film sets in several films. When Hu Yifei invited him, he asked him: "Are you good at setting sci-fi special effects movies......
"I worked on the set when I was fifteen years old, and now more than 30 years later, I've been doing it all the time, and I have a well-known team of props and sets," he said. But since you came to me, you should have known me, although I didn't win an Oscar, but my team is the best, I have the latest and most complete prop models in the world in the prop antique store in Los Angeles. And my child was admitted to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology this year, and the tuition fee needs a lot. Even if it's for this one reason, even if I'm not good at it, I'm going to be good at it now......"
With such a heartfelt explanation, Hu Yifei had no reason not to agree, "Okay, let's make a dream world that subverts the senses together." ”
The set designer needs to have a good sense of the art picture and the big picture, while the prop master is hard and menial work. This guy doesn't say big things, he's a practical person. Hu Yifei's requirements are indeed very cumbersome, and all kinds of novelties emerge one after another, but Jacques Kimchi can quickly get it, which is not easy.
Basically, every scene in the film, everything that can be seen, the props team has to plan in advance. Make a list and make it, such as a firearm and a small ring on the hand where the actor holds the weapon...... Nothing comes out of nowhere.
Jacques Kimchi finally complained in an interview after the release of Inception: "You never know what is going to happen, it's like the directors go to sleep, they dream all night, and then in the morning, the director suddenly says to you: 'I think of something new again'." I need a column of water coming out of the sky, like a flood ...... 'Oh my God, it's not like a gallon tank, and it's the top floor of a skyscraper?' ”
Reality is always much more difficult than imagined, so in order not to change the shooting location again, re-set up.
The crew must be on the top floor of a skyscraper to complete a scene of "water flooding the golden mountain".
There are many aspects involved, from communicating with the building management to redesigning the drains and so on. It is necessary to ensure that there will be no water leakage on the floor, which will bring a "devastating" disaster to the entire building of more than 400 meters.
The technicians seized the time to discuss and arrange the work, and finally came up with a feasible solution.
The method is to use a large-caliber spray gun **** water column, and then several windows are focused on the care of the water tank. This not only creates the impact of a large pouring of water on the shooting, but also prevents the entire room from being destroyed and causing uncontrollable scenes.
It's not the first time Charlize has worked with Hu Yifei, but he rushed by in "The Hangover" last time and didn't know much about it.
What he knows more about Hu Yifei is limited to his financial talent, which is far more dazzling than his talent in movies.
Last time, Hu Yifei said that he would not pay her, but later it turned out that he was just talking casually. On the contrary, the billionaire offers generously and without being stingy. (The film is no longer a sole proprietorship of the family film industry, and Hu Yifei does not need to detain a woman because he wants to save money for everyone.) )
This is Charlize's first foray into a commercial blockbuster with an investment of hundreds of millions after winning the actress, and she still enjoys this treatment. However, compared with the investment income from other aspects, this salary can only be regarded as a corner.
At first, she did not fully follow Hu Yifei's advice and bought oil aggressively. Just gave it a little try. Later, oil began to rise, and she was finally moved, it turns out that there is really such a god in this world, saying that oil will rise, it will definitely rise? !
She finally couldn't help but put all her savings from years of hard work in Hollywood. The money used to be invested and managed by the broker, and she didn't make much, but lost more, so she also fell out with the current agent: "I make my own decisions for my hard-earned money." When it's your turn to point fingers, I'm going to have to bow down. ”
It turned out to be an investment that anyone would love. At the moment when the number of accounts was soaring every day, she suddenly felt that she had become meaningless after so many years of struggle in Hollywood.
Of course, that's just an illusion, if you don't have the experience of working hard in Hollywood, maybe you don't have the qualifications to stand with Hu Yifei now.
And now, Charlize wants to understand another side of Hu Yifei: with curiosity, he began to examine Hu Yifei's level of filmmaking.
From the very beginning, Hu Yifei's command on the scene was well organized, as if the whole movie was playing back in his mind all the time. There weren't many scenes filmed a few days ago, most of them were a few indoor warm-up scenes, and the real rivalry hadn't started yet.
Charlize also gained confidence after seeing that the filming went so smoothly. In the interview after the final release, he said: "He's a genius, it's very reassuring to work, and the picture in his mind is always the clearest." And it's very organized, so you don't need to repeat and shoot too much in order to get more clips and so on. His camera is always set up in front of the lens he wants......"
These are all later words, and the shooting scene can never be firmly controlled by someone. (To be continued.) )
