"One, two, three, Ikesh!"

In a well-arranged filming location, the crew of "Source Code" is filming in an intense and orderly manner. With the order of director Zhao Xiaogang, the crew dispersed, and then the people of the blasting team pressed the switch to activate the gunpowder buried in a refreshed abandoned train car.

Bang!

With an earth-shattering bang, the entire train car was blown in two, and the powerful and violent kinetic energy of the carrier tumbled and fell to both sides of the track. At the same time, a ferocious flame erupted from the severed position, and the sound was extremely terrifying.

Several cameras were pointed at the scene of the explosion from different angles. 360 all-round shooting without dead angles up, down, front, back, left and right.

"Click!"

Zhao Xiaogang shouted in surprise.

The entire crew immediately burst into cheers, shouting "It's finally over" and "It's amazing".

This day is April 20, 2018.

On April 10, the filming of "Source Code" officially began, but the scene of the train explosion at the beginning of the film could not be filmed because the blasting team technology was not in place. It wasn't until today, 10 days later, that the blasting team blew up several abandoned train cars, and finally completely restored the scene of the explosion of the train cars.

The scene of "Papapapa......" soon resounded with thunderous applause.

Although the technology of special effects is becoming more and more advanced, it is still difficult to deal with the special effects of this explosion exactly like the real explosion. Therefore, for the sake of the quality of the film, Stephen Zhao had to hire a professional blasting team to help restore the train explosion of the plot at the beginning of "Source Code".

After the shooting of the explosion scene, the crew quickly switched scenes and continued to shoot the literary part.

In the adapted "Source Code", there is only one popular scene, and the others are literary dramas, and even the whole movie doesn't even have action scenes. And so it goes. The difficulty of filming "Source Code" can be imagined, and it is basically no difficulty. In the previous life, the film was completed in less than two months, and there was a bad situation in which the soundtrack artist quit halfway.

In this life, the leading and supporting roles are all well-known celebrities in the circle, and there is not much difficulty for them in literary drama.

Other supporting roles are not mentioned. There are very few scenes.

The three leading actors accounted for 80% of the scenes, namely the male lead, the female number one, and the female number two. In the list of actors that Stephen Zhao equipped for the Huaxia version of "Source Code", the male lead is "Wu Chaofan", the female lead is "Zhao Ziyi", and the female lead is "Li Qingxia".

Li Qingxia's acting skills, Stephen Zhao knows it well, although he is still a little immature, but he is very smart, he can understand one point, and draw inferences from one example.

Zhao Ziyi is an international actress level, so she naturally has nothing to say about her acting skills. At the time of shooting. Whether it is Stephen Zhao or the rest of the crew, they can feel it, because Zhao Ziyi's role has been done once, and he has never come a second time.

On the contrary, it is Wu Chaofan, although his acting skills are also powerful, but when compared with Zhao Ziyi, he is dwarfed, and many times he seems cramped and can't let go. So much so that in a row NG, not only Zhao Xiaogang couldn't stand him. Zhao Xingchi couldn't stand it anymore on the side, and lost his temper many times to the point of scolding: "Wu Chaofan, if you don't do well again, you will fuck me off!" ”

In the end, it was Zhao Ziyi who came out to get Wu Chaofan's absence, because only she knew. It's not that Wu Chaofan can't do it, but she is so powerful that Zhao Xingchi and others have higher requirements for Wu Chaofan.

On the mountain, the junior sister gets along with the senior brother all day long, and she has never seen other men. So I thought that my brother was the most handsome person in the world, but when I went down the mountain and compared other more handsome men, my sister knew that my brother looked very average.

Comparing goods is still more people than people have to die!

At this time, all the people involved in the filming finally knew why Stephen Zhao was so confident in making a low-budget sci-fi film, because the plot of "Source Code" was really fantastic.

Powerful special effects can't compare to Hollywood; The classics of the lines can't compare to the comedy; The scale of the characters is not comparable to that of war films; The flamboyance of the costumes is not comparable to that of historical films; The humanistic care is not as good as ...... literary films, and "Source Code" must have no advantages in many places and other films, and it can be called useless.

However, a good plot covers up all kinds of ugliness!

For eight minutes, travel to parallel worlds to find clues to the train explosion, and then return to reality to bring the killer to justice. This kind of plot sounds incredible, like a magical movie. However, when applying the theories of computer technology and quantum mechanics, the theory of consciousness shuttle, parallel worlds, etc., is justified and the same as the truth.

When fans and media reporters were allowed to visit the class, the crew was excited to brag about the film.

Zhao Ziyi: "How do you feel?" It's good, this is a very good science fiction film, it belongs to the kind of high IQ, and you have to watch it carefully to understand it. ”

Wu Chaofan: "It's a pity? I didn't feel sorry for it! Blockbusters have blockbuster films, and low-cost films have low-cost shots, so why feel pity? Moreover, it is precisely because of the low cost that the film will not become the kind of popcorn movie that only looks at special effects, there will be more literary dramas, and the story will be more exciting and worth remembering. ”

Zhao Xiaogang: "What's it like to make a sci-fi film?" There is not much feeling, it is all about the use of the camera and the training of the actors' acting skills. Difficulty? There are definitely difficulties, such as the train explosion in the film, which is very difficult to film. The blasting team tested for 10 days in a row, blowing up 5 or 6 train cars before finally succeeding in the test. ”

……

As the investor and producer of the film, Stephen Zhao inevitably accepted interviews with fans and reporters, he didn't say much, and it was still the tone of the previous press conference: "This is a very wonderful science fiction film, a brain-burning work." As for how exciting it is, you'll know when the time comes! ”

This answer made many people dissatisfied, and they even had the urge to beat Zhao Xingchi. When the time comes, what will you know? We need to know now!

It's the same as meeting "you guess", they are so anxious that they jump to their feet, but the other party says "you guess", what the fuck, guess your sister!

The other people's answers suppressed their impulsiveness, made them leave the crew half satisfied and half unwillingly, and then acted as a water army, bringing "Source Code", which had disappeared for several days, into people's eyes again, and the hype was boiling, and the momentum was more than double that before the start of filming.

"Verify the speed of the gods again!"

"If you say that it will be filmed on April 10, it will be filmed on April 10, and it will be two months if you say that it will be two months to complete the shooting, and the star master is domineering and mighty and does not explain."

"Looking at this situation, this "Source Code" is really a low-budget sci-fi film."

"Can you make a good sci-fi film at a low cost? Blow, blow hard! ”

"There is no other brainless spray upstairs, the low cost in science fiction films, and the investment is much higher than other movies, and the opening of the star is 50 million when he promotes. 50 million to make a science fiction film, the special effects don't need to be thought about, and the star himself said that there are not many special effects, so it is conceivable that most of the 50 million is put on the filming of literary dramas. If the drama is filmed well, it may really be a good science fiction film. Don't you say it, it's a brain-burning work! ”

"Zhao Ziyi said that it was a high-IQ film, I believe in our family Ziyi."

"Chaoshen also said that the plot is exciting, and it seems that Xing Ye has given full play to his strengths. I'm looking forward to it, what the effect of "Source Code" will be. ”

"Have you seen the stills? The super god carried a gun and ran wildly against the background of broken darkness, and behind him were still photos, like parallel worlds, is this the quantum mechanical parallel universe that Xing Ye said? ”

"Super God is really going to be super God in the future, as soon as he signed a contract with Red Star Media, he was immediately highly praised and directly starred as the leading actor, and even Zhao Ziyi had to be a foil for him and a vase!"

"Supergod was very popular before, right? If he hadn't gone to the United States for a year of study, Luo Ye would not be as popular as him! ”

……

In line with the habit of discussing upwards, the building is crooked as he speaks.

On April 20th, the valley rain in the lunar festival.

On this day, Lou Crooked, who was originally discussing "Source Code", won the Academy Awards, because of this year's Academy Awards, Stephen Zhao was finally fortunate to bring his film to the final award competition. "Smiling Proud Jianghu: Sunflower Treasure Book" and "Smiling Proud Jianghu: The Undefeated East", both films were nominated for multiple awards.

At the same time, both films were shortlisted for the Cannes Film Festival, which will start in mid-May.

Previously, two films were also sent to the Berlin Film Festival, but they did not get a single nomination.

The Festival de Cannes has a total of six sections: Official Competition, Directors' Fortnight, Un Certain Gaze, Critics' Week, New Look of Gallic Cinema and Side Market Exhibitions. Among them, the official competition unit is the most important, the most concerned, and often referred to as the "main competition unit", from which the highest award, the Palme d'Or, was born. Several other units are either to promote newcomers, such as the director's biweekly promotion of newcomer directors; Either it is a film transaction, such as the unit of "Side Market Exhibition", which is purely a unit set up for the purpose of trading films, in this unit, films from various countries can be seen, and the distributor can discuss cooperation matters on the spot if he likes which film, and generally distribute films from other countries.

Many films that have not been nominated will be exhibited by film and television companies, in order to participate in the "Side Market Exhibition" unit, hoping that the film will be seen by distributors in other countries and then earn a copyright fee.

In the Chinese film industry, many directors are very famous, but they have never made a film released in China, in fact, they have made some films that show the dark side of China to participate in such film festivals and sell them to those gringos who hunt for curiosity. And in China, this kind of garbage is poured under the big scissors of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television.

For this problem, Zhao Xingchi is resolutely on the side of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, coming and going is reflective, sadistic, and dark, are you fucking psychopathic?

Only a psychopath would think that this society is as perverted as he is!

To Stephen Zhao's surprise, "Smiling Proud Jianghu: Undefeated in the East" was not selected for the main competition unit, but "Smiling Proud Jianghu: Sunflower Treasure Book" was selected for the main competition unit.

The taste of the gringos, really unique...... (To be continued......)
