Chapter 448: The Olympic Torch (2/10)
The Olympic Games are coming, and the song "Welcome to Beijing" has been sung all over the country. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The Bird's Nest Center is still under construction and is expected to be put into use until June next year.
But there is a team that has been practicing all day. Most of them are members of the Military Humanities Troupe, and they are playing drums in a uniform rehearsal. Several directors gathered on the scene for the first time to start a discussion meeting, and from time to time they were in charge.
Zhang Yimou said: "The first show is like this, the clock is close to 20:00, it is a fireworks show. Fireworks will explode over the Bird's Nest, and suddenly, a dazzling firework will roll above the stadium, activating the ancient sundial. The sundial reflects the light onto the 2008 array of threads, and with the sound of a hit, the phalanx displays a countdown of seconds. A huge digital countdown flashed on the silk surface. ”
Although Hu Yifei is young, he is no worse than anyone else in the field of directing. His ability to participate in the director group of the opening ceremony may not be Zhang Yimou's opinion, but it is the result of the expectations of the whole people.
But on the occasion of this gathering of seniors, he also put himself in the right position and listened quietly.
Lao Mouzi is well versed in large-scale shooting, and he takes great pains to combine traditional culture and rehearsal lineups. There is really nothing to worry about this show, what they haven't done is to check and fill in the gaps, and help Lao Mouzi arrange several programs more grandiosely.
Hu Yifei saw it very clearly, after all, this is about the face of the whole country, and off-the-field factors will be put aside. The idea design is naturally headed by Lao Mouzi, and everyone is in their own position, at most it is auxiliary.
He also gives full play to his strengths and gives his own advice from time to time.
"Is this ignition?"
Zhang Yimou said: "The preliminary plan is that the prince of gymnastics will become a trapeze, circle the bird's nest in the air, step on the auspicious clouds, and run to the cauldron...... This scheme is similar to the classical Chinese mythology of the father. Of course, this ignition plan has not been determined, including all the programs are being adjusted, and it cannot be regarded as a result until the final moment is determined. ”
Everyone discussed for a few days, and the preliminary blueprint for the setting was very different from the final performance in Hu Yifei's memory.
While he listened silently, he also kept recalling the scene in his memory, and his mind did not belong. As a spectator, I have only watched that kind of shocking performance on TV, but the feeling of being involved in person at the moment is completely different.
This is a sense of national glory and responsibility that gives one's body, which makes people's minds pure and gets rid of all selfish desires.
Seeing that everyone discussed and discussed, there was no practical result. He was also in a hurry, these people were busy people, and they had to separate again when they got together in a hurry.
For Ang Lee and Chen Kaige, there may be more elements to go through the motions, and in the end, it will depend on Lao Mouzi's team to sit at home.
Lao Mouzi has suspended all film shooting for the Olympics, and from a personal point of view, his sacrifice is undoubtedly great. But from the point of view of an old artist, it is a great honor. After all, the "national teacher" is not the one who makes a film with a high box office, and in terms of status, Hu Yifei is still far behind.
After all, he was young, so he couldn't help but give some more advice.
At first, everyone didn't think so, after all, Hu Yifei was too young, and how much heritage he could have with traditional Chinese culture. Later, when I listened carefully, I found that it was really material. Hu Yifei carefully commented and put forward suggestions for improvement one program after another, not only to check and fill in the gaps, but also to give the scenes that have already been formed, and even the sound and light effects have been taken into account. ”
"Director Zhang, I also have some suggestions for the torch lighting ceremony......
At this time, no one dared to ignore his opinion, Lao Mouzi pinched his chin and said, "Xiaohu, you say." ”
"The traditional ceremony is naturally fine, and the meaning of Kuafu's day by day is also great, but it always feels that it is not grand enough, and the technology content is very small. I have a special effects company under my umbrella, and if conditions permit, I can already do 3D realistic projection. We can make a five-clawed dragon and arrange the final ignition as the finishing touch. The last dragon shadow hovered over the entire venue, the dragon groaned, and finally the torch was lit by this dragon, what do you think? ”
Everyone was a little dazed, and Chen Kaige was surprised: "Hollywood's special effects can already be realistic?" ”
He looked at Li An, Li An also shook his head, he had heard but didn't know if 3D projection reality was feasible, "I rarely come into contact with 3D special effects, and I don't know much, let's let Ah Fei explain." ”
Hu Yifei explained: "It's not all Hollywood special effects, it's my digital company. ”
"I can say that the technology controlled by my company is also the best in the world. As you may have heard, James Cameron's new film is a 3D film, and I'm also involved in 30% of the investment, and all the special effects are in charge of my company. The 3D camera has been successfully developed and is being used and filmed, and 3D reality projection is based on this. ”
"It's a bit of a hassle and it's expensive. But with careful preparation, there is no problem. Moreover, the special effects staff involved in the production are not Americans, but all Chinese special effects team staff. This will give people a greater sense of belonging, after all, this is the Olympic Games held by our Chinese. Kindness...... You can think of it as a digital Chinese company in charge of production. ”
As soon as these words came out, it was even more heartwarming, after all, Hu Yifei even took into account the personnel issue.
Lao Mouzi said: "Xiaohu, can you take a look at the model in advance?" ”
Hu Yifei shook his head, "I haven't started production yet, so naturally there is no prototype, but next month my company's new building will be completed, and I will try out 3D projection technology." If you have time, you can take a look. "Everyone is very excited, if the scene in that kind of movie can really be projected into reality, it will be jaw-dropping to think about.
Lao Mouzi clapped, "Okay, I'll go see it then." ”
Hu Yifei nodded and added: "But if you want to choose to use this plan, you must implement it as soon as possible, after all, special effects production cannot be done in a moment." There are only a few months left until August next year, and there will be debugging halfway, and the time is also very tight. ”
……
During this time, he has been staying in China, arranging the post-production work of "Transformers" and participating in the discussion of the Olympic director team.
At the regular international press conference for the 2008 Olympic Games, the world's media flocked to it. The entire capital has become the focus of the world. Hu Yifei was also a member of the director team and was asked to come forward to support the scene.
This is specially requested by the organizing committee, after all, among all of them, he is the most famous.
The Olympic Organizing Committee also specially filmed a series of promotional videos with Hu Yifei as the center to promote the slogan of "One World, One Dream". Looking at this posture, it seems that he is promoted as the sixth mascot, and in fact he is also one of the ambassadors of the Olympic Games. (To be continued.) )
