When "Interstellar" was first filmed, everything seemed to be relatively smooth.

A good actor, after all, is a good actor, and he can understand what kind of state he needs to use in a movie at a very fast speed.

Liang Chaowei and they are like this now, including Zhang Ziyi, Zhang Ziyi has already cooperated with Chen Xi before, so she can understand Chen Xi's requirements more now.

"You're crying here."

In this scene filmed now, when the spaceship of the male and female protagonists fell into the ocean and returned to space, twenty-seven years have passed.

Here, because of despair, the hero and heroine are very depressed, and the hero is better, after all, he still has a daughter to worry about in his heart, so he wants to return to Earth as quickly as possible, but the heroine's mood has completely collapsed.

However, Zhang Ziyi obviously didn't show this feeling of complete collapse just now, and what she is showing now is a kind of sadness.

"No, it's not."

Although he is very familiar, Chen Xi still spoke mercilessly: "Here you are showing a state of collapse, not just sadness, think about it, twenty-seven years have passed, what about your father?" He must be dead, he was already very old, you know? ”

Zhang Ziyi nodded, in fact, she had experienced Chen Xi's ability in these aspects before, and she naturally knew what Chen Xi was saying now, as long as she understood it well, it would definitely be of great help to the movie as a whole.

At that moment, Zhang Ziyi pondered in her heart.

There is a feeling of being at a loss in time in "Interstellar", the horror of time is vividly displayed here, and the dislocation of time is even more impressive, and the sense of ups and downs of time is indeed quite cruel.

The feeling that a little accident below has made decades pass above, the feeling that the daughter is dying of old age in more than 100 years, but the father is still in the prime of life. It's so profound, it even makes people feel a kind of creepy.

Chen Xi must also take these things into account when shooting, and express these feelings to the extreme.

For the shooting in the studio, Chen Xi still used the previous special effects company, and in "Interstellar", Chen Xi used more Chinese special effects teams trained in "Gravity", and Chen Xi They also have such a small team to learn, and they may also use it in the future.

So, now there are also people who work on special effects who are watching the recording, and there are also old scientists who Chen Xi invited from the Chinese Academy of Sciences. They mainly provide technical guidance and guide Chen Xi on how they should shoot.

After all, on this kind of spacecraft, many things still involve physical knowledge, and then for the structure of the universe, there are many gorgeous and magnificent space scenes, especially in black holes, which need their guidance.

Although Chen Xi clearly remembers what the black hole in "Interstellar" looks like, if he makes a black hole purely from his memory, there must be a lot of roughness in the middle.

The black hole in the original movie. It is also a real combination of physicists and special effects, and it is not a pure imagination. The movie "Interstellar" is the most magical, and the most unique thing about this movie is that it conforms to scientific common sense in the basic mountain. Even a black hole can involve relatively incorrect physical laws, and on this basis, they did not make a boring movie, but made a lot of touching storylines about family, the future, and so on.

Able to do both. The goodness of Interstellar is indeed unique.

In this place, Chen Xi also has some scenes...... After all, seriously. The role chosen by Chen Xi still has a lot to play.

Chen Xi hasn't acted for more than a year after "Source Code", and the occasional cameo is a small fight, so now he is also a little itchy.

Because Chen Xi's real career is a director after all, he doesn't have the various requirements of other actors in terms of actors, and he doesn't have the feeling that he has to play the male lead, otherwise he will pull some of his things down. Of course, if Chen Xi really embarks on the road of acting in the future, then he will definitely measure it to that extent, and he will not play the second male lead or even the third male lead, but now Chen Xi doesn't have to do that at all.

So it's not really important for him to play a trick here.

In fact, the person he plays still has some scenes, especially when he has aged directly on the spaceship for so many years, including his demeanor, including his changes, movements and many other places, will be reflected in his acting skills, not to mention, here, this person's perseverance and other eyes will need to change.

In this way, Chen Xi will also have a lot of room to play, but if he doesn't act well, it may also be lowered for the whole movie.

In fact, Chen Xi's performance in "Source Code" can be said to be quite successful, and it has basically been recognized by all fans, and for a role like "Gravity", Chen Xi will not feel incompetent in his heart.

The section that Chen Xi is playing now is where Chen Xi needs his acting skills the most in the whole movie, here, the hero and heroine have just rushed up from that gravitational planet and met him again.

Chen Xi's previous performance was relatively more of an ordinary performance, but now it is different, he needs to perform a lot of complex things.

And from the old age and the like, it has to be like that.

Chen Xi put on makeup.

In fact, compared with white and yellow people, blacks usually look very old when they are young, including some people with black skin, who used to look old, but the older they are, the more difficult it is to see the traces of time, this is a group of people who are very resistant to aging.

So the black man in the original version doesn't actually need much makeup, but Chen Xi is different.

Chen Xi is a fair-skinned person, and it still takes a lot of effort to draw him more than 20 years later.

But Chinese makeup artists painted Chen Xi very similarly...... In fact, in this regard, Chinese makeup artists are not a problem.

Whether it's Chinese makeup, prop photography or even special effects, there is actually no lack of sufficient level, that is, if you see Hollywood such as "Cloud Atlas", as long as you have money and time, then Chinese makeup artists can also make up to such a level.

Merely. The problem of Chinese makeup artists is that the younger generation does not come out, it is unusable, and there is a lack of an adequate training mechanism in the middle, many juniors in the makeup industry are difficult to get ahead and have no effective learning, China's real top is almost the world's top level, there are only thirty or forty makeup artists, and they are not young, this is the biggest problem.

For example, in the United States, there is a variety show dedicated to makeup and special effects. It is also easier for newcomers to learn skills and get ahead, and Chen Xi has not much to do about these things, so he can only try to guide them slowly.

Chen Xi wants to put on this makeup, it takes more than five hours each time, which is quite long, but for the sake of realism, there is no way......

Therefore, Chen Xi will take off her makeup once in four or five days, so that she can almost finish filming after putting on makeup twice or so in total.

Tony Leung and Zhang Ziyi came up from below. This shoot is in the middle of a large prop, and the space seems a little narrow, but the spaceship does not exist for comfort, and this aspect is also in line with reality.

"I've been waiting for years."

Chen Xi tried his best to figure out the way a person in his fifties spoke and acted. It is manifested in any pose.

His tone wasn't too deliberate now, but it was a little lower.

On the issue of performing a person who is much older than his actual age, Chen Xi consulted Ni Dahong many times, and Ni Dahong was on "Ming Dynasty 1566". Performing an old Yan Song who is about to die, he is very experienced in this regard, so Chen Xi also has what he heard from Ni Dahong according to his own understanding. Little by little, I figured out the process of this matter bit by bit.

How should he perform, in fact, Chen Xi already has an idea of his own in his heart, and now he is also verifying this idea.

However, Chen Xi watched the replay after the first performance and felt that it was not very good......

Unlike Nolan, any of Chen Xi's images are shot with the latest technology, and now these places are shot with few IMAX3D cameras in the world, which is extremely precious, and there are few in China.

In fact, the 3D effect of a movie depends on the post-production, not the first shooting, but if you use the IMAX3D camera to shoot when shooting, you actually have a pretty good starting point, and the post-production will be much better later.

Chen Xi's "Interstellar" is a 3D movie after all, different from the original, Chen Xi made 3D There is a big factor to make money, but he is different from other people who cheat money, Chen Xi will inevitably do a good job of 3D effects when making it, even if he invests more money in it, after all, Chen Xi's movies have always been great from "Journey to the West" to "Gravity", 3D effects are great.

And now Chen Xi's "Interstellar" wants to get a better 3D effect, so when shooting, the placement of various objects and the shooting camera position will try to do the best.

In this way, as long as it is placed, the post-production will be much less difficult, and it will also add a lot of 3D effects.

On the ship, the 3D effect will be mainly reflected in the front and back of the capsule.

The front and back of the capsule, under this 3D effect, will appear particularly layered and spacious, as if it is extending in front of their eyes.

That's the case in Gravity, so by the time Interstellar arrives, everything is already more proficient.

It's a pity that they want to create a pretty good 3D feeling here, and everything will be thought through.

The creation of 3D feeling is still not simple, and now in the shooting of IMAX3D, many problems need to be considered and conceived clearly when shooting.

Chen Xi began to shoot again.

He is still very strict with his performance, and he doesn't just pass a lot of shots because he is a director.

And Chen Xi did act well, of course, he has no way to compare with Liang Chaowei, Zhou Xun, Zhang Ziyi and others, but it is already relatively good.

The film was first filmed in a space capsule, and is now nearing completion.

Then it was time to put the finishing touches on the stage.

Although shooting in the studio is relatively simpler than the location, it is not so easy to shoot because the camera is not easy to unfold and other reasons, but it is also a little difficult to shoot, especially with the spatial structure of IMAX3D, the shooting is even more difficult, and many places need to be carefully polished and spend a lot of time.

But it's finally over.

This part of the shooting is also the place where special effects are most needed, after all, beyond the spaceship is space, so now the special effects team has taken it and started to produce according to Chen Xi's requirements, of course, including the production of the black hole, the same is true.

It was also at this time that it was the end of 2012......

Another year has passed.

Chen Xi has also completely passed the age of twenty-nine, and next year, he will be thirty years old.

From the age of twenty-three to now, it has been six or seven years, and in the past few years, he has finally lived up to the future movies in his head and has his own career.

He has a world-renowned name, a movie with a global box office of more than 800 million US dollars, and a terrorist company with a market value of almost 100 billion, but Chen Xi still needs more.

Some of the things he is doing now have gradually attracted the attention of the state, and he has had several contacts before, but Chen Xi still needs more in this regard.

All this, he still has to prove himself with his achievements, and he also has to prove himself with the results of a "Interstellar" around the world.

By that time, many of his ambitions will gradually come true.

In addition to "Interstellar", Chen Xi is now also asking people to prepare many things for his online drama "Evening Ming", including costumes, props and filming actors......

This web drama also has a big role for him, because this web drama will allow Chen Xi to gain more experience, and this is purely Chen Xi's.

Because Chen Xi has very high requirements for many things, including armor, including firecrackers and various weapons, Chen Xi has strict requirements, so the preparation for this matter takes at least half a year to a year, and Chen Xi is also working hard to do the work of screenwriters, and is also considering this matter with some senior screenwriters.

After the arrival of January, Chen Xi took the crew of "Interstellar" to Iceland to start filming the most difficult part. (To be continued......)
