Chapter 290: Receiving Disciples (I)
"This is probably the first time you've tried to add more Western elements to a film, why is that? What does this change signal mean? Anna quickly recorded the director's answer and asked another question.
Chen Feng shrugged his shoulders with a smile and talked eloquently from the beginning: "In fact, in the first version of the script of "Dusk", this is how it was set, a world where Eastern and Western cultures influence and integrate each other. I've spent some time in the United States, and I also appreciate some of the cultures of the United States, and there are a lot of episodes about Western culture in "Twilight", and we invited Wells for this reason, because the combination of Eastern and Western cultures can make the story and the future world more mysterious. That's my forte, I love the story of the script and also have a lot of new ideas, so I'm happy to try it, it's really great. ”
"I know that "Twilight" has set a lot of new personal records for you, the first sci-fi movie you filmed, the largest number of participants, ......" Anna counted a few records, looked at Chen Feng and asked: "But at the same time, you have been burdened with a lot of pressure and doubts before, will "Twilight" be a film where you can prove yourself anew?" What do you think? Chen Feng immediately shook his head slightly: "I don't think about it so much now, I just want to make the movie well, and scoop out more time to spend with my family." ”
Thinking about the journey along the way this year, he smiled again: "But this time there is indeed more pressure, but only a small part of these pressures are voices from the outside world; Most of it was the film itself, and for me, it was more challenging than ever. As for the record-setting ......" he laughed, "I hope it can continue to set more personal records!" The direction of the large number is not the lowest. ”
"Huh!" Anna also laughed for a while, looked at the notebook, and then asked: "Not long ago, Yerong, one of the heroines, suffered from acute nephritis because she was too tired. fell ill, and later it was said that you had completed the rest of the martial arts scenes with her, which was a topic that everyone was very concerned about. ”
"Yes, thank you in advance for your concern, she is recovering well now." Chen Feng thanked him. took a sip of coffee, thought about the arduous shooting of martial arts scenes, and said with a smile: "I can't say that Ding Yu, I played another male role, but I adjusted the proportion of the shot." I think this is also a Chinese element, and everyone must go to the cinema next year, because I do play very well and cool, haha. ”
After doing a few more Q&As on "Dusk", Anna asked the necessary questions: "Last year, a "Zhu Xian" captured the hearts of audiences all over the world, and now everyone is looking forward to when "Zhu Xian-Zhong" will be released, as well as "Qin Shi Mingyue", "Qin Shi Mingyue" Everyone has been waiting for a year? ”
"Thank you very much for your support," Chen Feng bent down slightly to express his gratitude, and then said, "I didn't think about this matter carefully, originally we planned to complete the post-production in one go and then release it intensively, but I didn't expect everyone to love "Zhu Xian" and "Qin Shi Mingyue" so much. Since we can't wait, we'll consider changing the release date, but don't worry. It will also be released in July or August at the latest. ”
Anna nodded, continuing with the essential question, "What is your impression of Yellowstone?" ”。 Chen Feng replied with praise: "The impression I have of Yellowstone Park is that it is very beautiful, it is the earliest and largest national park established in the United States, and it is also one of the most spectacular national parks in the world. The Yellowstone River and Yellowstone Lake run through it, with canyons, waterfalls, hot springs and geysers. The scenery is beautiful and fascinating. I also visited the historical museum in the park, which was very nice. ”
Just one Chinese country is not magnificent enough, it doesn't matter, add the factors of other countries! Just when the crew of "Dusk" completed the filming of Yellowstone Park and was about to leave for Hangzhou, its official website suddenly announced the detailed plot characters, the future sci-fi world, alien colonists from the depths of space, mysterious blue-eyed beauties, the defeat of the government army, and the thrilling escape of Huayu's propaganda team under the propaganda regardless of the cost. Let more people be impressed and interested in the plot setting of this movie. …,
"Very much to look forward to! This is a setting full of novelty and fun, and I believe that Chen Feng will bring a big surprise. A netizen left a comment on the official website, and most fans were full of interest, because the director is Chen Feng, one of the best directors in the world.
No amount of data settings, concept art, and stills can compare to a trailer that is intuitive and attractive, and the excitement of the trailer and trailer has always had a significant impact. However, the teaser of "Dusk" did not come out so quickly, not counting the framing of the lotus pond, the crew has just officially finished, obviously the image engine team still needs a long time to complete in terms of special effects production, Chen Feng has already submitted detailed requirements in the preparation stage, and will follow up the supervision, but after leading the team to shoot for more than 6 months, it is time to rest and vacation.
After a week's rest, Chen Feng returned to Huayu headquarters to continue the post-production work of "Dusk". And now, Chen Feng is at the headquarters of Huayu Entertainment Company, facing the information placed in front of him, and begins to calculate the cost of "Dusk".
The relevant personnel had already calculated and come up with the results, and everything was basically put in front of Chen Feng, but he still planned to sum it up again, although it was a bit hard, but these tasks still had to be done.
It would be better to have a bottom in your heart. "Dusk" has been completed so far, and the total investment so far after counting special effects and post-production is 978 million Chinese dollars.
In terms of cost, although "Dusk" is intended to be built into a sci-fi epic movie, it is also filmed as a three-dimensional movie. But the investment in this movie has not caught up with the previous Xianxia blockbuster "Zhu Xian", of course, such a strong shooting cost is also a super investment in the history of Chinese films. It's just that compared with the previous "Zhu Xian", the investment of 978 million yuan is not too big.
978 million investment. If you want to pay for yourself, it's not too simple. It's just that for Chen Feng, the recovering cost of the movies that other directors dream of is not a big deal...... What he is asking for is a high box office, a high box office that others dare not imagine.
Of course, before the official release of "Dusk", I directly imagined that the box office was indeed a little ambitious, and Chen Feng also thought about the box office, and the most important problem facing him at present is post-production.
Now Chen Feng threw all the 250 million yuan spent on special effects in "Dusk" to the Hurricane Special Effects Studio, and Chen Feng's death order to them was to do their best.
Hurricane Special Effects Studio is also the best special effects agency in China, and even the best in the world in some technologies, although it is not easy to complete the content of "Twilight", but it can be perfect.
On the first day after the filming of "Dusk", Chen Feng handed over the shooting results to the editing studio for them to complete the content. This is a three-dimensional movie, Chen Feng is also worried that they are not so well cut, and he also arranged a few foreign devil consultants to the editing room, believing that they can make this movie with the help of foreign devils.
Chen Feng also often supervises and supervises and walks around, after all, this movie has too much of his hard work, and it can't suddenly collapse at the last moment.
Approaching the middle of May, summer in Hangzhou is gently walking on the grass and branches of the park.
Chen Feng walked alone on the streets, and recently he gradually relaxed and had some time to go out for a walk. Today's Chen Feng is dressed very simply, but he wears a peaked cap and big sunglasses by the way, and naturally some people suspect that he is a star on the street, but no one will come over and take off his sunglasses.
With his hands in the pockets of his clothes, Chen Feng was a little aimless, walking on the street. He was thinking about something in his head, and he didn't know where it would suddenly go. Sometimes I think about the filming of "Dusk", and sometimes I think about my own life recently. …,
Outside the house, Chen Feng had just taken out the key and was about to enter the door when he saw a familiar figure.
This guy was shaking outside Chen Feng's house, scooping his phone with his right hand, and his eyes were not leaving. Chen Feng walked up to him, patted him on the shoulder, and asked, "Xiao Xue, what are you doing here?" What's the matter? ”
Yes, this person is Xue Mingshan, after "Dusk", he and Chen Feng naturally separated, and Chen Feng didn't see him after that, and today he seems to have come to wait for him. Chen Feng greeted him directly.
Xue Mingshan was originally playing with his mobile phone to watch the meager view, but suddenly Chen Feng patted him on the shoulder, he was frightened, and after hearing Chen Feng's question, he slowly calmed down and said, "Director Chen, you're back." ”
"I'm back, let's go into the house." He could see that Xue Mingshan was not looking for him because of any big matter, so he didn't ask him to say it quickly, but invited him into the house first. Xue Mingshan nodded and followed Chen Feng in, Chen Feng asked him to sit on the sofa and poured him a glass of water.
"Thank you." Xue Mingshan was a little restrained in front of Chen Feng, who was not much older than him, as if he had walked into the home of some big man.
Chen Feng scooped him another apple and a fruit knife and asked him to cut and eat it himself, but Xue Mingshan didn't do it, but sat on the sofa and thought about it carefully for a while before saying, "Director Chen, I'm actually here today to talk to you about something." ”
Chen Feng was a little strange: "What's the matter?" Is it about movies? Any suggestions? This is what he can think of for the time being, because most of the connections he has with Xue Mingshan are on "Dusk". (To be continued.)
