The post-production special effects work is in the midst of intense production.

The special effects department set up by the Light Phantom can't do all the special effects work of a grand movie, and it is inevitable to cooperate with other studios. Previously, they were filmed in many places in North Carolina, and most of the live-action shooting work has been completed, and the special effects production has also been synchronized and concurrent. At present, there are more than 1,000 special effects shots that need to be completed, and more than 1,200 special effects shots may be required to complete them all.

Li Donglai drove to the special effects studio with Godie, and compared to other movies and series, it was he who cared the most.

The eponymous trilogy of novels is a "cruel" story.

And as a TV reality show type movie with a production budget of up to 80 million, to be honest, the Phantom does not have much confidence. The best of this kind of movie was only a prison-themed series before, and the box office of that movie did not break 100 million. The game of the same name sold quite well.

The story itself resembles the movie "Battle Royale", but in the mind of the novel's author, Collins, it is a modern adaptation of Greek mythology. "The story is derived from the legend of Theseus and the Minotaur," she said. I read this story when I was eight years old, and it has been ingrained in my heart ever since. In that story, there is a place called Crete, and every year, seven virgins are sent to the Minotaurs. In my novels, I didn't want to write the same mythological story, so I arranged the story in the future of the ruined miè Americas. I created it from the perspective and values of the present generation. The Catniss in the story is Theseus. The minotaur has been upgraded to zhèngfǔ and that invisible system and pressure. In its own right, this is the simplest story of the gladiators of ancient Rome. Plus modern content only. ”

The Phantom chose Gary Ross as the director of the film among Hollywood's famous directors one after another, and during the filming process, because Li Donglai attached importance to action scenes. He even relied on his personal relationship to bring in the famous director Steven Soderbergh to be the second director, specializing in shooting action scenes.

Li Donglai took time out to come here, naturally it was not a pleasure, and director Gary Ross was waiting for him.

The two had many previous consultations. There are many points of view that have been agreed upon, but there are also many contradictions that have not been resolved. is about the special effects of the movie, and both of them attach the same importance to it.

"It's a wasteland movie. Do you agree? Gary Ross said.

Li Donglai said: "Of course, but the wasteland world in China should be the background, so as not to leave people with a feeling of barren barren land." ”

As a subgenre of science fiction films, wasteland films aim to explore the world after civilization has been completely destroyed after a catastrophe.

These deadly catastrophes. Various. Such as nuclear war, plague, alien invasion, machine uprising, side effects of scientific development, natural disasters, supernatural phenomena, inquisition, etc.

The timeline of the wasteland movie can be divided into two phases: if the story takes place shortly after the disaster, the center of the story will focus on exploring the psychology of the survivors; If the time takes place long after the disaster, the lost pre-disaster civilization is often the subject of the story.

Li Donglai continued: "It shows the background of the wasteland world, and the movie hints everywhere that a riot is about to happen, but it is still oppressing the people, the gap between the rich and the poor, and the new regime is facing collapse at any time. Unlike other films of the same genre, the film tells us about what will happen in the wasteland world after a new order is established. ”

"Are you deliberately ignoring what kind of catastrophe has happened in this world before?"

Li Donglai shook his head and said, "That's it." I don't think it's necessary to explain how the world has been catastrophic. There are so many disaster movies to conjure up with. If we were to explain how the world was going to be a disaster, there would be some misalignment. It's better to watch '2012', it's the end of next year anyway. ”

Gary Rose argued, "yes, that's what I thought. Next year is 2012, and there's nothing wrong with letting the audience see the end times taking shape. ”

"Nonono, redundant. Gary Rose, trust me. "As far as I know, even in the original three novels, there is only one paragraph that hints at the possibility that civilization may be destroyed by wars after several natural disasters. We don't need to develop the last association on the basis of the original work, that is not realistic. The focus is on the live TV show 'The Hunger Games', and that's the theme! ”

The catastrophe scenes are destined to be grandiose, which makes the already stretched special effects work even more time-consuming and labor-intensive, and in the end, only to leave short shots, which is not worth the cost.

Gary Rose was silent for a while, "This doesn't convince me, just two or three minutes of footage description is enough, I don't ask for too much." ”

Li Donglai didn't give an inch, "I stick to my ideas, those are redundant." ”

After all, his fame is there, and the name of a ghost director is not something that everyone in Hollywood can call. Gary Rose couldn't figure it out, so he had to make a concession first, "Okay, how about we wait until the film is finished and edited?" ”

“su

e！ ”

Arguing is just part of the job, a table of arguments between two thoughtful men.

Li Donglai once again reiterated his opinion on the film, the jīng pith plot, lies in the cruel social reality of the film. On this point, Gary Rose nodded in agreement, and it was this point that he took over the film. Therefore, in his films, the proportion of the table in this regard is also larger.

The rules of the game are set by the ruler, and all the rules are designed to maintain the ruler's rule. Moreover, the ruler can change the rules of the game lightly, which also reflects the essence of politics - deception.

But even if both sides agree on a view, it doesn't mean that there are no contradictions.

Li Donglai is worried that there are too many things that reflect the political struggle, which will affect the viewing mood of overseas audiences. After all, there are frequent demonstrations by the people. Images of struggle against rulers may be popular in the United States. However, overseas audiences don't understand this, preferring to see the Hunger Games protagonist show intelligence and strength. to complete the hunting and snatching of all kinds of jīng colors.

Gary Rose believes that this is the jīng essence of the film, which cannot be cut.

The two sides quarreled endlessly, and neither could convince anyone.

However, the two sides also set the tone, and the value of the movie lies in the fact that when it seems to be disappointed, it always breaks the routine and "turns around" to let people see hope!

The foreshadowing was laid from the very beginning of the movie. That "brooch" is the embodiment of faith. Because of faith, no matter how bad the environment is, the heroine does not give up! Therefore. If faith is the theme of this film, then, love is the soul of this film, especially in the final plot. The hero and heroine are for love. Willing to die rather than obey the changed "rules of the game".

This just shows that if there is no love, what is the difference between living and dying.

Voice Director ISA

El-Venus's request also used Lee Dong-rae's song 'Faith' as the theme song of the film. Although Li Donglai disdained to use movies to promote songs, it did fit the mood very well, so he agreed.

This is the director's cleverness, and Li Donglai admires this setting of Gary Ross. I said several "good" in a row!

Gary Rose modestly said that he found inspiration from the script. Not to his credit.

The two of them smiled again, which also made the surrounding staff breathe a sigh of relief.

After that, the two collaborated and cut out a 1-minute trailer from the existing theme. Li Donglai analyzes the progress of the film, and intends to let it enter the audience's eyes earlier, and from now on, it will enter the stage of actual combat publicity.

They are all for work, and they do not have personal feelings, and if they have quarrels, they do not affect each other's cooperation.

But such a fierce smell of gunpowder will always make others feel overwhelmed, especially the two giants of the movie.

So some bad news got out, "Li Donglai, the chief producer of the new Phantom film, had a fierce quarrel with director Gary Ross and is about to part ways and face a shutdown ......"

Any news about Li Donglai now is very valuable.

After the news broke, major media rushed to report it. For a while, the one that had disappeared for a while reappeared in the audience's sight.

If a reporter is willing to trace the source, he may be able to find out that the news was first sent from the Phantom Propaganda Department.

……

By the time I left the special effects studio, it was already dark.

Li Donglai hadn't forgotten to pick up his little secretary, and Guo Biting was still a little apprehensive when he returned to the villa with the ruthless president. After all, there is a ghost in her heart, and Emma is also pregnant.

Li Donglai only cared about driving, but ignored the beauties around him. Guo Biting looked around, saw the car seat, and asked curiously, "Is it good-looking?" ”

"What? Oh...... Not bad. It tells the story of the 16th president of the United States who went through the Civil War and unified the United States. The politics of the Americans. After a pause, he hesitated slightly, but still said, "Biting, give Sean a call and ask him to buy the adaptation rights of this book." ”

"Movies?" Guo Biting was stunned.

"That's right! If you want to shoot, you need speed, and take advantage of the US election to make a fortune. ”

Guo Biting naturally didn't disobey him, took out the phone and dialed the number, "Sean asked you, do you want to shoot?" ”

"I've already made biographical films, and I'm not interested in making any more American presidents. Sue Sean, if you buy it, you can set up the project immediately, and then release the news and find a big director to shoot. ”

"Alright! It is estimated that Sean's enthusiasm will be reduced by half. Guo Biting smiled and continued to explain the situation to Sean.

……

"I'm back!" Li Donglai shouted.

"Whew......"

The golden lion king rushed out and barked a few times. Unexpectedly, he didn't hear the voices of the two women, Guo Biting asked, "Is no one there?" ”

Li Donglai said with a smile: "I guess there was another quarrel." ”

Sure enough, the two quarreled again, and they slept in the same bed last night.

But a little quarrel like this has to come and go several times a day. Usually Li Donglai is at home, and there is a buffer, if he is not there, it will immediately be a stalemate, and then it will become such a cold war!

Guo Biting smiled, this family is really like a child. What if I have a child in the future? I'm so worried about them!
