Chapter 338 Officially Finished!
They arrived at Vatnajökull Glacier, a landscape that belongs to Iceland.
Inheriting the filming methods and many filming locations of the original "Interstellar", Chen Xi also knows how to shoot most of the scenes.
Filming at Vatnajökull glacier is included.
In fact, Chen Xi could have avoided such a trip this time...... But when he thought about it, he also wanted to minimize the pressure on post-production special effects, and he also wanted to create a more realistic atmosphere on the scene.
Nolan makes movies like this, if you can use miniatures and the like, then you will never use CG, of course, his purpose is not to reject new technologies, but still to create a more realistic texture of the film.
Texture is very important to him!
And Chen Xi is here, using IMAX3D to shoot such a glacial world, coupled with the various scheduling of scenes, will also make the movie have this texture.
Chen Xi: It was the first time for them to shoot in such a scenic spot in a foreign country.
Iceland is a welfare country that belongs to Europe, a small country with a low population, a very high GDP and people's living standards, and various legal systems and other things are quite perfect.
However, for Chen Xi, such a time is a rare experience, which can provide him with more experience in shooting films, this kind of experience in shooting in these places abroad, and experience in scene scheduling and other things, are all of great benefit, and Chen Xi will shoot some big scenes in the future, which will be much simpler and more familiar.
Sure enough, after coming to the glacier to shoot, there were really a lot of requirements, especially a lot of laws and regulations that constrained them.
In fact, Chinese crews have always ignored these places...... But it shouldn't just be the crew who has this kind of problem. A large part of Chinese are like that, no matter what they do, always thinking about taking advantage of things like that, and most people know about the destruction of Shangri-La by the crew of "Wuji" back then.
However, since they are on someone else's territory, they have to do this.
And during the filming, they also saw a lot of resentful things, which is mainly because some people on the Icelandic side, although they agreed to Chen Xi's shooting, but they looked at Chen Xi them like thieves, which was really angry, and there was no way. Many times the Chinese are really discriminated against, but there is no turning back when the bow is opened, in fact, Chen regrets it a little bit in the later stage.
I knew that I should have filmed in China, but since this is the case, Chen Xi also shortened the filming process, which was originally scheduled to shoot for nine days and leave after five days of shooting, and there was no consumption, and the crew basically ate what they brought. Of course, do as they ask.
Chen Xi is not a stupid person with a lot of money.
Many things make people resentful but there is no way, the China threat theory and the like have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the rise of China's economy in recent years has made people in the West tremble about it. Propaganda is even more extreme, and the Chinese themselves do have some problems overseas, so these things can only be hoped for one day to be slowly realized.
…… After filming in Iceland. Many people also felt a little angry, and the crew soon returned to China, after filming some scenes. The final stage of filming, the cornfield, is almost underway.
...... whole process of "Interstellar" is full of everyone's attention, and there are too many people who want to see more news about the movie.
On the official scarf of "Interstellar", some stills will basically be released, but there are not many.
This official bib hasn't been created for long, but it already has more than 100,000 fans, so you can imagine how attractive Interstellar is to everyone.
After returning to China, Chen Xi inspected all the preparations for his new online drama.
Chen Xi has really been preparing for this online drama for a long time, and the preparation of many props has been done to the extreme, just hiring a lot of historical consultants.
In fact, a lot of historical records are also common sense, and there is basically no problem, many historical consultants themselves are of a standard, but once there are countless out-of-date costume films in China, there are also historical consultants...... The problem lies mainly in the reluctance to spend money.
Otherwise, if you look at the "Ming Dynasty 1566" at that time, you will know that it is not impossible to be elegant, but it is just reluctant to invest money.
This is the same as Qing court drama.
Some people say that the Qing court opera is something to blame, but in fact, it is not so over-interpreted...... There are many Qing court dramas mainly because TV series such as "Huanzhu Gege", "The Secret History of Xiaozhuang", and "Iron Tooth Bronze Tooth Ji Xiaolan" have really increased the attention of the Qing Dynasty, and everyone's familiarity with the Qing Dynasty and the awareness of the Qing Dynasty have also increased, and they also love to watch the things of this dynasty.
And there is another important reason, that is, in TV dramas, especially costume dramas, the costumes needed are filmed a lot in Qing court dramas, and the costumes are particularly easy to find, and everyone is more willing to shoot Qing palace dramas.
For such reasons, Qing court dramas are easy to attract investment and get ratings, like anti-Japanese dramas.
In later generations, with the explosion of TV series such as "Beauty Scheming", TV series in the Han Dynasty also continued to appear one after another, which is also a reason.
And Chen Xi basically doesn't have clothes that are really easy to match now, just in terms of clothing, Chen Xi estimates that they will have to spend tens of millions, or even more. (It is said that Lao Zhong just bought a Western knight's sword, which cost three hundred, and the postage cost is thirty, and if you get a set of medieval chain mail and plate armor and the like, it will cost at least ten thousand...... These things really cost a lot of money, even if they are just used as props, they are not cheap).
And now Chen Xi is still determined to make some clothes that really fit the clothes of people from all walks of life and forces in the late Ming Dynasty, as well as weapons that are in line with the people of that era, and even Chen Xi has to transfer a lot of excellent makeup artists to disguise people as much as possible in the late Ming Dynasty when almost most people are malnourished.
Chen Xi checked it now, and so far, most of the places have been done quite well, even the clothes of some lower-class characters have been completed very well, and many props and the like have also been done more elegantly. After all, these things cost a lot of money, so the things that are made are indeed more elegant.
Chen Xi occasionally writes scripts himself, and also discusses them with many historical consultants.
"Late Ming" will be officially told from the death of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, and the first season will probably tell the story of the world full of wolf smoke, and the peasant army rises and falls, gradually becoming a climate.
The first season focused mainly on Chongzhen's side and the strange circle and cycle that he faced without levying money and no money to fight, but raising taxes would make the world more miserable.
In addition, it will also tell about the affairs between Chongzhen and the civilian clique, and the Donglin Party will also become one of the protagonists.
These Chen regrets will basically follow the way of telling in "Rome", when it comes to major things. There are trade-offs, and the time will advance relatively quickly, but basically the historical facts will be fully respected.
In fact, this is the method that Chen Xi finally adopted after a lot of thinking: in terms of screenwriting, he may not really be able to occupy any advantages, and it is easy to be clever and self-defeating, and in the end it is full of flaws, it is better to shoot according to historical speculation, such a TV series, in fact, even if it is completely filmed in accordance with history. The fate of the characters will also tie the hearts of too many people, which will make them follow this TV series**.
Therefore, in this regard, Chen Xi is not worried about attractiveness. As long as you can make good trade-offs about history, it will naturally arouse everyone's love after the shooting.
In such a TV series, Chen Xi is very particular about props and clothes, and the characters are filmed according to history. At the very least, if you choose a historical view to shoot, there will be no logical problems. And most of the audience, as long as these things are shown. You'll feel like it's almost a masterpiece.
After all, "Ming Dynasty 1566", "Towards the Communist. and", with such a high rating, is it really how magnificent they are?
In fact, it's more about not treating people as brain-dead.
Even if it is "Game of Thrones", which has a high rating of American dramas, it really has to say that the ups and downs of the plot, as well as various divine twists and turns, how unexpected it is, but it is just stable...... After all, just like the struggle between people, the more you want to set up something ingenious, the more you need something to round out the lie and make up the logic.
This kind of round lie may not be able to be rounded, so sometimes it is true that the great ingenuity is like this, and it is also the case with the strength to break the skill.
So on the script, Chen Xi will also discuss with many historical consultants, after all, this is really something that belongs to him completely, and he can't take it easy no matter what.
...... "Interstellar" came to the last stage of filming, which was shooting in a cornfield.
Too much time has passed.
During this time, more and more material has been filmed for "Interstellar", in fact, many fans have also seen more movie stills and have more awareness of this movie, but they also have more expectations for this movie.
Chen Xi still likes this shooting, in fact, whether it is Chen Xi before or Chen Xi now, he finds that he still likes the part where the three people chase the Indian drone in the cornfield.
And now it's time to start filming this segment.
Liang Chaowei and the others are all ready, vehicles and the like, the drone in the sky is used for aerial photography, and the car is also followed for shooting, and there is a handheld photographer sitting in the car.
However, even if there are at least five cameras like this, it still needs to be shot about twice, but in the process of toppling the corn, it still needs to be filmed in different places.
After the official start of shooting, it was really not that simple, it was really difficult to shoot between marching movements, and the coordination between multiple cameras and photographers was not easy.
Chen Xi is now simply sitting in the car that follows the shooting, this is also a camera car, Chen Xi has to adjust everyone's movements according to the picture he sees in the monitor, and also according to the picture that his eyes can see.
Chen Xi is actually very proficient in these shooting skills now, so under his deployment, the shooting of these things in front of him is relatively smooth.
After a day of shooting, almost everyone was sweating, but although today's shot was not finished, there was no way to do it, so I could only continue shooting tomorrow, after all, if Chen Xi forced to shoot now, after all, the light is different, and it is easier to wear it.
This corn field is indeed planted by Chen Xi, and he has personally gone to the field, but he only has a small piece.
In fact, Chen Xi has also planted corn since he was a child, and the terrain on their side is relatively rugged, so although it is the south, there are not too many places suitable for growing rice.
But now that Chen Xi is in this situation, there is definitely no way to plant corn quietly, he can only find some time to plant, and even it seems that this is just a show, but some problems are like this.
This piece of land, as well as the corn seeds here, and many farmers, have spent some money, but now the effect is still good, a large green corn field, as long as you use IMAX3D technology to shoot, you can also show these spatial relationships and other things as they are, so that they can see all the open pictures in this space, as for the feeling of the vehicle constantly shuttling through the corn field in this process, Chen Xi will use something similar to "Star Trek 2" The 3D effect at the beginning, as long as the 3D effect of the chase scene is completely made, the effect is still quite good, and it is also very impactful.
After two weeks of filming in this place, I finally finished filming everything in the cornfield, including Murphy's growing up.
Murphy played by Zhou Xun is indeed a three-point game, and in any of them, he basically uses it to the extreme in places such as eyes and micro-expressions.
And Zhou Xun actually has enough understanding of many performances, so Chen Xi doesn't even need to spend much time or energy to train her.
After filming these passages, by the beginning of May, in fact, "Gravity" had been released for almost a year at this time, but at this time, "Interstellar" had been filmed and officially completed.
At the end of June, "Interstellar" was officially completed!
This is a news that has made many Chen Xi fans and many Chinese movie fans extremely excited. (To be continued......)
