Next chapter
For Zhang Tan to take over the reboot of Batman, after the news was announced, it immediately caused heated discussions among DC Comics fans.
DC Comics has a history of decades in the United States, and it can be said that most young Americans grew up watching superheroes in comics, including their parents.
Especially Superman, Batman, and Spider-Man, these superheroes, are almost national-level idols.
If you have to make an analogy, it is almost the Chinese's feelings for Monkey King and Nezha, who have grown up with them from childhood to adulthood.
"Oh, is it true that Chinese Tan came to shoot Batman, I don't dare to accept the news, I mean I like Chinese Tan, I like The Matrix, that's cool. But I really doubt that he can shoot Batman well, I don't know if he has seen Batman, do Chinese know Batman? ”
Mielke, a huge fan of DC Comics, left a message on DC's official website.
Another fan, Blair, said excitedly: "Tan is a great director, I was deeply fascinated by his "The Matrix", as soon as I think of Tan coming to shoot Batman, I can't wait to see it, will this be a Batman comparable to "The Matrix", Batman should be as handsome as Neo!" ”
"No, no, no, I can't accept it, Batman is a hope in the dark, a symbol of justice for Americans, Tan is from authoritarian China, and they are as suffocating as the dark forces in Gotham City. Let the director of an authoritarian country make Batman, I strongly disagree! ”
"Brother above, you are too extreme, you should not have seen the movie made by the Chinese Tan, it is full of charming lens language. Please don't discriminate against anyone on the basis of nationality. Great directors transcend nationality. ”
"Why didn't we bring in an American director to make Batman?"
"The director of Marvel's "The Incredible Hulk" is not an American, so why don't you make a noise?"
"So 'The Incredible Hulk' was so badly filmed that the French director didn't understand comics at all. and the "Hulk" filmed by the director of the previous stage, which is also dull and makes people want to sleep, and we Americans have to shoot superheroes ourselves. ”
"But American directors have already made several Superman and Batman, and Warner Bros. will ask the more excellent Chinese Tan to take the helm of Batman."
"Hey, I don't think China Tan is very good. I haven't heard his name except for "The Matrix." ”
"Haha, that's because you're so ignorant, have you heard of my favorite low-budget sci-fi film "Source Code", my girlfriend's favorite "What Time Taught Me", you know, and that cool comedy "Crazy Stone", which was selected for IMDB-TOP-250, oh, and the best horror film "Chainsaw". By the way, "The Grim Reaper is Coming" and "Smart: Ghost Shadow" are also written and produced by him. ”
"There's been a lot of talk upstairs. Let me add that he was born in '86, the same age as me, 26 years old, he became famous in China at the age of 15, and he is the best best-selling author in Asia. My Chinese friends adore him. Love his novels. ”
"Wow, that's right, I googled it and found out it's true! What an amazing Chinese, if he were an American, I believe he would be more legendary than Mark Zuckerberg and Justin Bibo. ”
"You also missed a point, China Tan is still very much like China's Zuckerberg, he opened his own social networking site, which seems to be called micro-wave, like the titter we use. All Chinese are using microwaves, he also has his own investment company, invested in a lot of Internet companies, oh, Xiaomi mobile phone have you heard, he is one of the shareholders. ”
"I've seen him, at the premiere of The Matrix, he wasn't that short (I thought Chinese were short), and he had chest muscles."
Well, these messages are crooked and crooked to the country of Java, and these comic fans don't care about Batman and start caring about Zhang Tan.
……
Any news is time-bound.
Zhang Tan announced that he would direct the Batman movie, and after a while, he was depressed. The audience's staying power for one thing is far lower than imagined, and to keep them paying attention for a long time, they can only rely on marketing methods to constantly throw out news one after another to stimulate the heat.
That's what a publishing company should do.
After the press conference, Zhang Tan entered a professional and serious state of work.
The sequel to "The Matrix" is a two-part set, titled "The-Mat Day-Reloaded" and "The-Mat Day-Revo Revelations", and in the film's script, with Neo awakening, the battle has broken through the sky.
On top of the imagination of the original version, Zhang Tan integrated many cool shots he had seen to conceive a larger and more awesome battle picture.
In order to achieve these pictures, as early as before the first part was released, Zhang Tan and Weta Digital's special effects artists discussed which pictures could be used with special effects and which pictures could not.
If you can, you can spend money on special effects, and if you can't, you can study the shooting equipment and strive for perfect realization.
These costs add up to a total budget of more than $300 million, and Zhang Tan once again broke the scale of his investment budget for directing films.
Unlike the 100 million cost investment in the first part, all parties are under pressure, and this time the 300 million dollar investment has hardly encountered any resistance.
On the contrary, several investors are still asking hard whether it is enough or not.
The first one broke a billion dollars worldwide, and as long as the sequel does not hit the streets, the box office will be higher than the first episode. Judging from Zhang Tan's record of never missing a shot over the years, the probability of hitting the street is quite low, and the business that is stable and profitable will not lose any amount of investment.
Crew, interior scenes, action scene shooting.
In addition to the track system installed on the ground, the ceiling is also equipped with a track system, and the traction rope of WIA is even denser.
Several stuntmen were wrapped around a kind of rope called "turning over the river and turning the sea", with an expression of death.
Yuan Baye shouted loudly on the side: "Don't put on a mournful face, a salary of $3,000 a day, you can't earn a movie in Xiangxiang!" Tan is generous, you have to repay him for his hard work, understand! ”
"Master rest assured, praise the face to praise the face, and the work is guaranteed to be completed beautifully!" Stuntman guaranteed.
These stuntmen are all the dragon and tiger warriors of the Yuan family class brought by Yuan Baye, and the super dazzling fights in the sequel to "The Matrix" are no longer something that a few leading actors can complete.
Zhang Tan sat in the monitoring room next to the studio and picked up the walkie-talkie: "Uncle Yuan, are the stuntmen ready?" ”
"Alright, Director." Yuan Baye replied.
"Then all units pay attention, count dozens of numbers, and start shooting!"
As the ten numbers were reported, the martial artists scattered around the studio immediately began to Ravia, and the mechanics controlled the tracks on the ceiling and the ground, in addition to controlling the camera positions, and the other was to cooperate with Weiya.
With such a move, the stuntmen immediately followed Weiya's traction and performed various difficult movements, with the help of ropes that turned over the river and the sea, they were able to go up and down, back and forth, left and right, all kinds of flips. It can be said that the invention of the rope that overturned the river and the sea greatly liberated Zhang Tan's imagination.
There's no action screen that can't be done.
It's just that the sequelae are a bit ruthless, no, after the filming ended a minute later, several stuntmen were immediately helped down by the martial artists to rest.
Two of the stuntmen lay directly on the ground and vomited.
This is the sequelae, and the reason why this device is called "turning the river and the sea" is called is because of this. This is a device invented by the crew brainstorming, basically the stuntman goes up once, he has to vomit once, and if he doesn't vomit, he has to faint for half an hour. Of course, the side effects are a bit big, and Zhang Tan can only compensate for it by increasing the remuneration.
"Let the stand-in rest for half an hour, others will clean and restore the scene, and Uncle Yuan will come to the monitoring room." On the walkie-talkie, Zhang Tan's voice came again.
Shooting, intense in progress. (To be continued.) )
