Chapter 558: Filming of "Batman: Time to War" begins
What everyone saw in front of them was a huge poster, in the dim yellow light in the background, countless bats of all sizes flying in the air, and in the center of the poster, there was a huge shadow of bat wings, blocking most of this light.
Batman's huge wings are black, and in the very center of the giant bat wings, there is a human head.
After everyone saw this poster, they always felt that the background of this poster was high-rise buildings and light, and there was a very magical feeling of loneliness and shock.
It's a very strong feeling.
Because, that huge bat wing, and the dazzling background are all like that.
However, everyone's speculation has also unfolded -
"Batman? Does it mean to mutate into a bat? Is this what this Batman looks like after his transformation? Or what? ”
"I've heard that Batman is just a pure man, not a mutant or a paranormal, he just has some equipment...... So maybe it's just his equipment, right? ”
…… However, they also knew that it was useless to discuss it more, it still depended on what Li Chencan thought, and he should mention some of this kind of thing a little bit next! Thinking of this, everyone is looking forward to what will happen next.
After Li Chencan appeared, he sat in front of the reporters, he sat on the stool in front of the huge poster, and sat with the other creators of the movie.
At this moment, the media reporters were instantly in good spirits......
The main actors of the movie are here.
Including playing as Bruce. Wayne's Hank. James, including the Japanese action actor Hikochi Lee, who plays the ninja master (many Japanese changed their surnames after World War II). also includes other important actors, of course, including several high-level executives of some fireworks film companies, and such a lineup still sits here for more than a dozen.
The first focus of everyone's attention is naturally Li Chencan, the initiator who planned and started these things. The second focus is the male lead of the movie, the famous Hollywood actor Hank. James.
Hank. When James took over Li Chencan's filming plan, he thought that most of his movies were popcorn movies that squandered special effects scenes and money and exploded everywhere, but after he actually took over the book, he felt unusual.
This book is really different from ordinary superhero movies.
Of course, many superhero movies are gradually having more things to explore...... These superhero movies have also begun to focus on aspects such as the changes that superheroes bring to society...... However, "Batman: Time to War" shows a person's real inner journey in it. Reading the book, there are at least two very clear propositions - 1. How should people overcome their fears. 2. How can one change the world.
Compared to other superheroes, Batman is just an ordinary person. He's just trained to get a lot of things, but it's because of this reality that Bruce . Wayne's almost ascetic metamorphosis is convincing and contagious......
And. The movie also unravels some of the sins of capital. There's such and such evil and sin here, and that's why Bruce. Wayne took off his practice suit and ascetic suit and put on a bat bodysuit......
So Hank. James is really satisfied with this book, and he has sighed many times in his heart: Li Chencan is Li Chencan after all! His movie book is completely incomparable to others, and his interpretation and excavation of superheroes is also incomparable to many other superhero directors who want to put something different in the movie.
This unique talent is Li Chencan...... This talent who can create many wonderful and gorgeous films is Li Chencan.
Soon, after a few words. Today's question session of "Batman: Time to Go to War" began, and the reporters were the first to find Li Chencan: "Director Li." Why would you plan to make a superhero movie? You didn't have this kind of shooting experience before, did you? ”
"A lot of times the inspiration for a movie is a flash of inspiration, and then you seize that inspiration and unfold it, and a movie will be born. Now Batman is like that, I had an inspiration, and I seized that inspiration and started the film "Batman". ”
Everyone then asked: "The protagonist of the movie "Batman: Time to War" is Batman, but Batman has not appeared in the comics, why would you choose such a hero?" What is this image of a bat? Is it because the protagonist has mutated into a batman because of a special reason? ”
Mutating into a batman or something, these are also the consistent imaginations of many people...... Although the two worlds are different, some places are still similar, and there are all kinds of superheroes named after animals in superheroes, such as leopard people and other things here...... So everyone naturally associates Batman with those aspects.
"No, Batman is just using high-tech equipment, he himself is the same as you and me, he is a normal person, but he has undergone severe combat training and has quite strong fighting skills!" Saying this, what many people have discussed before is confirmed.
"With such a protagonist with no superpowers, and a movie that has not been prepared for comics, why do you think your movie can bring everyone into the cinema?" The reporters asked in hot pursuit.
"Because my film is unique and I would add something new to the film, Batman: Time to War is not just a superhero movie! That's the way it is. Li Chencan said with confidence.
This kind of self-confidence is really strong...... But of course, reporters won't let Li Chencan go because of his self-confidence: "Then what do you think is the difference between your superhero movies and other people's superhero movies?" ”
"There's a big difference, and I focus on different people in my films...... The ambitions of the protagonist of the movie, his style of acting many times, and his encounters are different from other superheroes. Li Chencan said: "And these differences will also make Batman not just a superhero, he will be a unique person!" ”
…… Li Chencan answered a lot of questions loudly, so that everyone can feel his strong self-confidence, this self-confidence is like when he jumped out of space before "BEAT/IT", Li Chencan used some of this self-confidence to infect everyone, of course, the results also proved that his self-confidence is never untargeted, but really has that kind of strength.
Some of the parts of the American launch conference are simpler, but some links will be more complicated, but whether it is simple or complex, the film has already begun to shoot after all.
After the launch event, the film officially began to shoot where it was needed......
Many scenes in the movie will be shot in real time, for example, the training base on the snow mountain, except for some houses and the like, which are too troublesome to shoot in real time, Li Chencan will choose to shoot in real time in other places.
The reason here is simple......
Although Li Chencan is not a Nolan blower, he does respect Nolan as a director, and he also agrees with many of Nolan's ideas for making movies.
"Batman: Time to War" will only be made into a 2D movie, at most IMAX2D, because he feels that this film is really not necessary for 3D, and if he insists on using 3D, it will only reduce the texture of the movie, making the picture of the movie seem unreal at all many times. Because people's 3D skills really haven't really perfected yet.
Nolan's films pursue such an almost real texture, which Li Chencan also agrees with.
Therefore, in his "Batman: Time to War", as long as he can shoot in a real place, he will never use a studio or the like to shoot, and in many places, he will try not to use CG if he can use a CG model, but instead use an atrophied model to shoot.
As CG techniques became more and more sophisticated, this kind of special effects were used a lot, and many people forgot about models and makeup...... In fact, Hollywood has long been able to make up "Planet of the Apes", miniatures to shoot Godzilla, and even Japan can make Ultraman Kamen Rider, and once these old things are brought to life, the texture that can be brought to life is quite good.
Li Chencan's "Batman: Time to War" will use all kinds of things to the best and create the highest realistic texture of the movie.
In the previous preparations, more than a dozen remote control models of the Batmobile and Batmobile have been made, and this thing is not as simple as a simple remote control toy, it requires a lot of stunts, so the cost of these things alone will reach nearly 200,000 US dollars, which greatly occupies the shooting space of Batman.
Not to mention the other miniatures......
Hank before. James also deliberately underwent recovery training in Eastern martial arts......
In short, the preparation of this film did cost Li Chencan a huge amount of energy, and he knew that the investment required to shoot "Batman: Time to War" was really too high, not only in terms of money but also energy.
After the filming of the movie began, Li Chencan quickly regained his touch, and this big-budget film also awakened the passion in his heart...... And he is copying one of Nolan's most classic works, which also makes Li Chencan feel quite excited.
It's just that the powerful workload is once again pressed on Li Chencan's body, and mobilizing a large group of Americans will inevitably have to intrigue with them, these things make Li Chencan feel very tired, but he has to persevere. (To be continued......)
