Chapter 310: Filming on the Closed Street
ps: The college entrance examination will be the day after tomorrow, and the book friends of the third party in high school will stop reading novels, and don't. Come on!!!!
James. Cameron held the newspaper, looked at the report on Alfonso in the newspaper, and sighed: "It's still a little younger...... Although I also think that "Transformers" is average, whether it is the director or actors, or the technology, or the investment cost, it determines that its achievements will not exceed "The Lord of the Rings" and "Harry Potter". But I'm not going to say it to these difficult journalists......"
"But geniuses are always a little arrogant??" Cameron added one more sentence later.
Cameron used to be young and vigorous, when at the 70th Academy Awards, Cameron raised the Best Director Award trophy of "Titanic", and almost madly said out loud a sentence that countless people remember: "I am the king of the world!" β
Genius is always arrogant, but it is not disgusting, because arrogance cannot hide the light of genius.
"However, Harry Potter is so tightly followed, I can't let up." Cameron rubbed his face in annoyance.
He was originally a little good-natured, because "The Lord of the Rings" had already taken the lead and had the first opportunity. Who knew that within a few days, the sworn enemy "Harry Potter" was finished, and then under a series of operations, the popularity began to catch up with "The Lord of the Rings", which made Cameron's relaxed mood tense again.
He couldn't wait to get tired anymore and threw himself into post-production.
Cameron, as the king of world directors, naturally does not have the power of post-editing like other directors at this time, and he opened the special effects company in the digital field. Therefore, I am very familiar with special effects/3D, and the production process is naturally multiplied.
ββββββββββββ
After the announcement of the completion of "Harry Potter", it began to compete with "The Lord of the Rings" in North America, Europe, Australia, the Middle East, Arabia, Southeast Asia, Japan and South Korea, and China......
These two films frequently appear in regions around the world where the film industry is more prosperous. First of all, various pictures and news were disseminated on the Internet. boast of being unparalleled in the world, and if you don't watch it, you will regret it for the rest of your life. Then, a short video of the filming was made, which sparked a frenzy of fans.
In the European Union, North America, China, Japan, India, South Korea, Australia, which account for 70% of the global box office. The propaganda offensive is constantly impacting all fans.
This is the true 3D movie ever!
This is the most expensive movie ever made!!
This is the film that continues the glory of the world's best-selling novel!!
This is a movie that can make people feel immersed in the scene and enjoy the audio-visual enjoyment of the hearty!!
If you don't look. Will definitely regret it for the rest of your life!!
Too many gimmicks. Let these two movies be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people!!
At this time, the producers of "The Lord of the Rings" and "Harry Potter" have already exhausted themselves, desperately promoting, and do not hesitate to spend hundreds of millions of dollars to promote! Just to not lose to the other party!!
And fans of the novel also have fans who know or don't know. At this time, I also became interested in these two films, and began to look forward to the official release of the films.
After seeing these promotions, Chinese people set their sights on "Transformers" in addition to looking forward to the release.
"When will it be finished?"
"When will it be released?"
Naturally, they want Transformers to be part of this competition. In this world-class movie feast, show the style of Chinese films!!
At this time, there are already many reporters squatting near Tianwang Film and Television Company every day, hoping to interview something, such as when it will be completed.
Chinese fans are anxious, in fact, Wang Shang is also anxious, he also wants to shoot "Transformers" as soon as possible, and then compete with "The Lord of the Rings" and "Harry Potter", because the attitude of this foreigner is really a little unpleasant.
In particular, Alfonso CuarΓ³n's assessment of "Transformers" - there is no threat to "Harry Potter" at all.
It's infuriating!!
Not only Wang Shang, but the entire crew was angry: "Dare to underestimate us? We're aiming for the box office king this year. β
The consequence of being angry is that both the actors and the crew have been holding their breath for the past few days and have worked harder to make movies.
At this moment, the reporter who was squatting outside the Tianwang Building suddenly heard a small message: "Tianwang Film and Television Company is currently negotiating with street merchants near the International Financial Center and wants to close part of the street for filming." β
"The streets are closed??"
Journalists began to look for sources.
Just when the reporters were looking for sources like headless flies, on April 15, the Modu Municipal Government issued a notice, which attracted great attention from the citizens of Modu.
"The following notice is hereby given that from April 23 to May 8, a total of 15 days, the 7th to 10th sections of Dianpu Road, with a total length of 500 meters, and the entire section of Zhuyuan Street with a length of 700 meters, and the fifth section of Yangnan Road, with a length of 300 meters, will be closed for filming in different periods. Filmed by: "Transformers". β
After the government's announcement came out, the official website of Tianwang Film and Television Company also followed up and issued relevant announcements. The Weibo of those celebrities, including Wang Shang and those celebrities, have published Weibo one after another, explaining the closure of the street and filming, and at the same time apologizing to the surrounding people and businesses.
As soon as the announcement and Weibo came out, soon the entire citizens of the magic city knew about it.
At this time, the labor company hired by Tianwang Film and Television Company quickly pasted the paper notices that had been prepared all over the buildings and trees that had closed the streets.
"Do you want to close the street for filming??"
"15 days? Too long, right? Aren't those nearby companies losing money? β
"This should be Mr. Wang's second closed street shooting, the first one is Nanhai's "Fast and Furious 1" closed street filming......"
"Mr. Wang's business is our business, and the closure of "Transformers" must be supported."
"Fury!! Strong support!! β
"I have to go and see it~~~"
The closure of "Transformers" soon spread throughout China, causing a frenzy of discussions.
With the administrative power of the government, coupled with Wang Shang's prestige being high enough, as well as the improvement of the popularity of this street after the filming of the movie and the attraction of customers, the negotiation of businesses near the street is progressing smoothly.
On April 22, Tianwang Film and Television Company finally finished filming the relevant plot of the seventh district, and the crew packed the props and equipment non-stop and transported them back to the street where the filming was taken. At the same time, the vehicles and other obstacles inside are cleared.
On April 23, the sky was bright, and the crew, with the assistance of road administration personnel and traffic police, blocked the section of Dianpu Road to prevent vehicles and personnel from coming in. In the ice cream cones and outside the blockade line on the periphery of the blockade area, dozens or hundreds of citizens have come to watch the excitement at this time.
Filming on the streets is normal in cities like New York and Los Angeles in North America, and many movies are shot there every year. In Huaxia, although the film has developed rapidly for so many years, it is still relatively difficult to close the streets, in addition to the government, there are also citizens and businesses, and they have not yet formed a sense of assisting in making movies.
Wang Shang sat on the crew's bus and drove all the way into the already empty streets, while watching the transport trucks transport various props such as various gravel and garbage and place them on the side of the road.
As soon as Wang Shang appeared, he was discovered by the sharp-eyed onlookers, who screamed and shouted: "King!! King!! β
The enthusiasm shocked Wang Shang.
However, Wang Shang did not dare to give a smiling face to these audience fans, but worked hard. There was a mistake in the South China Sea last time, and after Wang Shang greeted those viewers cordially, the audience was too excited, causing chaos on the scene and almost causing a big incident. Since then, Wang Shang has not dared to show himself too much in public.
Wang Shang turned his head and said to the crew: "It's not easy to close the street, so we try to speed up as much as possible under the condition of ensuring quality, and everyone will work hard for half a month." β
Others slammed it on.
Michael Bay looked at the orderly scene in front of him and sighed: "I originally thought that it would be very difficult to close the streets in Huaxia, but I didn't expect everyone to be so willing to cooperate." β
After hearing this, Wang Shang snickered in his heart: "If you change to other movies, you may not even be able to pass the level of the government, let alone those shops." β
Wang Shang did not explain, but began to gather the main members together to discuss how to arrange various props on the street at the scene.
The specific plot has been sorted out last night, and when and which scene should be filmed, it is all clearly listed.
An hour later, the crew placed the props in various positions one by one according to Wang Shang's command, and the makeup artists were urgently applying makeup.
In the days that followed, more and more crowds gathered around the periphery of the closure to watch, and the film was filmed in an orderly manner as planned.
On April 29, the crew began to change filming locations and block another street.
At this time, the crowd of onlookers began to be shocked to find that they saw a tank being transported in by a large transport truck, and there were also small artillery, and there was also a group of more than twenty soldiers wearing green camouflage uniforms.
Several camouflage military helicopters then appeared in the sky.
"I've seen real tanks!!"
"Is that artillery real?? Or is it a model?? β
"I heard that there are aircraft carriers and fighter jets in the movie, I don't know if it's true?"
After the news came out, there were more onlookers, and it was lively!!
On April 30th, the area around the closed street became crowded and the traffic in the neighborhood began to be paralyzed!!
Naturally, those media reporters will not let go of this opportunity, and hundreds of reporters from all over the country rushed to follow up on the closure.
At this time, most of the news on the Internet was about the closure of "Transformers", tank artillery, helicopters and the like.
At this moment, "Transformers" has sparked heated discussions among the whole people!.
