Chapter 323
"Hello Gu Cancan, what kind of story is "People in Embarrassment"?" This is a reporter from Tencent Video, and the question is very gentle.
Gu Cancan said seriously: ""People in Embarrassment" is a story about going home, the story takes place during the Spring Festival, with the encounter between Mr. Xu and Bao Qiang on the road together as the main line, the storyline is of course the type of family carnival, I want to shoot a simple comedy. ”
"Okay, thank you, I want to ask Wang Baoqiang again......"
After the one-and-a-half-hour press conference, the crew officially started.
In Xiangjiang, the movie is to worship God, but the crew of "People in Embarrassment" did not hold this kind of ceremony, Gu Cancan didn't like it, and after the press conference ended, it was announced that the official start of the film would be launched.
"People in Embarrassment" is a film directed by Gu Cancan himself, and the media attaches great importance to it, and she now has a golden signboard.
"Gu Cancan's new drama is launched, and it is understood that it is a road comedy." Beijing Daily.
""Buried Alive" director Gu Cancan has a new work, can he continue to be brilliant?" Shanghai Evening News.
"Gu Cancan's new drama Spring Festival theme returns to the bland." West China Metropolis Daily.
The fans were a little disappointed.
"I'm looking forward to Gu Cancan's "Heartbreaker", what kind of road comedy is she filming."
"That's it, watching a report is a low-budget movie."
"Hey, after all, she is a female director, and the pattern is small."
"Just kidding upstairs, Gu Cancan has a small pattern? Now that the domestic film market is like this, the bright era still dares to invest in the filming of the sci-fi movie "The Sadder", do those big directors with a big pattern dare? They will shoot some so-called costume blockbusters. ”
"Don't lead the war, Gu Cancan's first movie is a comedy, I'm optimistic about this movie, let's wait and see."
"It's definitely going to be supported by movie theaters, but I'd love to see "Heartbreaker" even more!"
"When will "Heartbreaker" be released?"
"Nickname Outside! Just now, the official Weibo of "Heartbreaker" released a trailer! ”
"Really! Let's go and have a look. ”
Since Gu Cancan announced that he was going to shoot "The Sadder", domestic fans, especially science fiction fans, are very excited, and everyone is looking forward to this movie.
I don't know when domestic science fiction movies began to become a forbidden area for domestic films, and few directors are involved in this theme, even if occasionally a director makes two big online movies under the banner of science fiction, they are still inseparable from love and love, just listening to the introduction, you can know that it is a big bad movie.
The famous director may not be good at the theme of science fiction because of his age, and he does not pay attention to it.
Sci-fi fans also don't think that there can be a domestic director who can make a good sci-fi movie now.
However, for Gu Cancan's "Heartbreaker", they are quite looking forward to it, Gu Cancan is very young, but he has already shot several movies, and it is not limited to one theme.
Many people have watched Gu Cancan's movies, have a certain trust in her ability, are full of expectations for this movie, and discuss it from time to time in science fiction forums.
""The Heartbreaker" took three months of filming and five months of post-production, is it finally going to be completed?"
"When will it be released, can I see it during the Spring Festival this year?"
"I'm excited, there's finally a domestic blockbuster."
"Don't be happy upstairs too early, how can it be a blockbuster, the real blockbuster special effects have to be done for a year or two, and the special effects made in a few months are to be seen?"
"A sci-fi blockbuster in China. After waiting for so many years, I finally waited for it, I really can't wait to see it right away, but unfortunately there are too few directors like Gu Cancan in China, otherwise we sci-fi fans will be blessed. ”
"Seriously, "The Heartbreaker" can't have any big scenes, this one is originally about the relationship between mother and son, Gu Cancan may be able to make the movie very good, but it is impossible to see a big scene. It's better to look forward to "Six Beings", this one is really good, when I saw the Six Beings in the science fiction world, I was thinking that this story is too suitable for making a movie, and the bright era also bought the film and television copyright of "Six Beings", I don't know what to shoot? If "Six Beings" is filmed, I will have to watch it at least five times when the movie is released. ”
"Hurry up, just now the official Weibo of "Heartbreaker" posted a trailer."
Netizens who followed "Heartbreaker" heard that this movie had released another trailer, and hurriedly opened the official Weibo of "Heartbreaker".
All of a sudden, the number of visitors to the website skyrocketed.
It's a short film that's only 30 seconds long.
Netizens clicked on it, and what appeared in the picture was the capital of 2253, the future city is full of high-rise buildings, and there are constantly flying cars flying in the air.
This scene of more than ten seconds shocked netizens.
The city in the picture is full of science and technology, and the maglev car is driving in the air.
This kind of scene is not uncommon, and it has been featured in many American movies.
But in this trailer of "The Sadder", it is obvious that this is an oriental city, with many Chinese elements, and the most important thing is that it is beautifully made and the details are very real.
A car drove from the air, the camera zoomed in, and it was Chen Zhiming who was driving.
Chen Zhiming drove a maglev car to an old school and slowly landed at the gate.
The details of the landing are vividly displayed, and even the dust splashed by the jets on the ground is extremely real.
This concludes the video.
In just 30 seconds, netizens were thrilled after watching it.
"Damn, this special effects picture is a cow pen!"
"No worse than a Hollywood blockbuster."
"I heard that it was produced by a Hollywood special effects company that spent a lot of money in the bright era."
"But what does this have to do with Heartbreaker?"
"For this special effect, I'm going to the cinema to support it."
"Yes, I will definitely support it."
The short film released by "Heartbreaker" this time made many people feel excited, and they feel that the bright era is really doing special effects with heart.
Gu Cancan was also quite satisfied when he saw such special effects.
In fact, the production of special effects for movies is a long process, especially the rendering is very time-consuming.
For example, in "The Lord of the Rings 2", the rendering of a frame of a frame takes more than 20 hours if it is done by a computer.
Therefore, the post-production rendering of the movie is done with a render farm, and thousands of computers do it together. The movie is 24 frames per second, and 1440 frames per minute, even if there is a render farm, it will not be able to do well in a few months.
This special effect cost five million in the bright era, and the special effects really burn money.
After a luxurious special effects short film aroused the enthusiasm of the audience, Bright Times soon announced that "The Heartbreaker" was set for New Year's Day.
At this time, it is only two months before New Year's Day, and the audience is nervously looking forward to the release of "Heartbreaker".
And "People in Embarrassment" began intense filming.
In the luxurious restaurant, Xu Zheng was eating alone, he was no longer a bald image, but wore a wig set, and his long sideburns were like Elvis.
The three men across from him stared at each other.
Xu Zheng ate a small piece of fruit with a fork, and then said affectionately: "Knowing you makes me believe that everything is arranged by fate." Maybe God has long been destined to lead us through the darkness. ”
This paragraph is very sensational, and he said a little numb to his lover, and when he used it on his subordinates, he felt that Xu Zheng was very satisfied with his subordinates.
But then Xu Zheng's tone changed: "What I want to say is, what kind of sin did I create in my last life." The national animation market is so hot, you actually show me such sales performance? ”
The camera shifts to a close-up of the Pleasant Goat and the Big Big Wolf on the table.
This is both a hint and a product placement.
"People in Embarrassment" is a modern film, and Gu Cancan is best at placing advertisements in modern films.......
This is the product placement advertisement required by the toy company, and the advertising cost alone is 1.5 million, of course, this is also for the name of Gu Cancan and the two leading actors.
Not only are there Xiyangyang and Big Big Wolf, but on the other side, there is the Q version of the character doll in "Big Fish and Begonia", Gu Cancan wants to use this movie to promote "Big Fish and Begonia".
Xu Zheng looked at Sun Yizhou, the first young actor on the right, and showed a smile like a gray wolf: "Your IQ is really refreshing." ”
Sun Yizhou looked like Lu Ziqiao's classic cuteness.
Xu Zheng said to the second young actor Wang Chuanjun: "And Xiao Zhang, you still have made progress this year, you were mentally handicapped last year, and you were promoted to stupidity this year." ”
Wang Chuanjun had messy hair, glasses, and his smile turned into embarrassment, silently bearing Xu Zheng's abuse without dirty words.
In the end, Xu Zheng stared at the third Zheng Kai with long hair and said: "And about you, I have always felt that there are two kinds of people in the world who are the most attractive, one is a very beautiful person, and the other is you, thank you for making me realize that it is a truth that long hair and short knowledge are short, and you don't have to go to work after the Spring Festival." ”
"Boss, here's my resignation letter!" Zheng Kai shook his angry long hair and handed over a pink envelope in his hand.
"This is the best decision you've made this year!" Xu Zheng gave him an affirmative look.
"Click! It's over. ”
With the order of the scene reporter, the scene was filled with "haha" laughter, which became a sea of joy.
This is the fourth time this scene has been filmed, and it was finally filmed smoothly, and some people couldn't help but laugh the first few times.
Sun Yizhou, Wang Chuanjun, and Zheng Kai were called by Gu Cancan to make cameos, and now "Love Apartment" has become the most popular sitcom, and several leading actors are also popular all over the country, and the audience will feel like laughing when they see them.
However, as Gu Cancan expected, they are now basically limited to "Love Apartment", Gu Cancan called them to make cameos, one is to increase the comedy effect, and the other is to try to wash the public's impression of them through other film and television dramas, so that they can be reused in other film and television dramas in the future.
The soundtrack of the embarrassed journey, and the ending song, Gu Cancan invited Zhao Yingjun, Zhao Yingjun is a very talented musician, but he looks too much like Snow Village, and he is not handsome.
Xu Zheng's scolding without a dirty word shows his profound skills and is very joyful. This opening is only a minute long, and it works very well, and it is estimated that it will be able to make the audience laugh for the first time.
Xu Zheng's lover, played by Qi Wei.
After Qi Wei joined the bright era, she has always filmed TV series, and with the popularity of several TV series, her fame has gradually opened, two years earlier than the original time and space.
Gu Cancan asked her to play the junior, firstly, to let Qi Wei test the water movie to satisfy her desire to appear on the big screen, and secondly, to consider her popularity.
Wan Qian also played a cameo role in it, that is, the flight attendant, the flight attendant who faced Wang Baoqiang's request: open the plane window to breathe.
In the film, the beginning and the end echo, a total of two appearances. Wan Qian is the first sister of the bright era, although it is a cameo, the frontal shots are also sufficient.
And the scene on the train is a scene filmed on the train, and the cameos are still the girls in "Love Apartment", Lou Yixiao, Li Jinming, and Zhao Qi. Shoot fast.
Xu Zheng and Wang Baoqiang's acting skills don't need Gu Cancan to worry about, the two of them have a full sense of camera, it is the norm to shoot more than a dozen a day, but the busiest thing is the scene notes and props team, and they often build the venue for several hours, and the shooting ends in half an hour.
However, driven by Xu Zheng and Wang Baoqiang, the entire crew has entered a very smooth state.
Gu Cancan has the original version as a reference in his heart, the scrap rate is very low, in this smooth state, the crew traveled to several places, and in less than two months, the movie was completed.
The filming time was tight, and Gu Cancan didn't have time to cut while shooting, so he took the finished film back to the capital.
The reason why the post-editing of the film is time-consuming and laborious is that the editor spends too much energy between the selection and combination of shots, and a group of shots often has to be deleted many times and the order is repeatedly adjusted to achieve satisfactory results.
However, Gu Cancan used DT technology when shooting, and when the movie was finished, the rough cut version of the movie came out, which saved a lot of time.
After returning to the capital, Gu Cancan and the people in the editing department spent a week in the editing room before cutting out the finished film.
The filming speed and editing speed of this movie are fast enough, and it has broken Gu Cancan's record.
After the editing was finished, Gu Cancan called several high-level executives of the Bright Era over and watched it together.
In bursts of laughter, the movie ended, and Su Luojiang and the beautiful cherry king smiled and applauded with a cheerful smile.
Su Luo smiled and nodded: "Cancan, I heard that you finished filming all the scenes in less than two months, I was quite worried, I was afraid that you would ignore the quality of the movie in order to catch up with the schedule of the Chinese New Year." Now it seems that my worries are unnecessary, the movie is well done, the shooting is excellent, and it did not disappoint me, and this year's Chinese New Year file Xiaogang Cannon has an opponent. ”
"By the way, what is Director Feng's movie this year?" Gu Cancan heard Su Luo mention Feng Xiaogang and asked curiously.
Jiang Meiying replied: "Is it called "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb", as far as I know, it is still the Chinese New Year comedy he is good at, or starring Ge You, many stars have been invited, and the heroine is Shu Qi. ”
Gu Cancan's heart sank, she didn't expect Feng Xiaogang's movie to be "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb", she still has an impression of this movie,
The quality is good, and the box office is quite high.
The reason why she is in such a hurry is for the New Year, but when she has a hard encounter with Feng Xiaogang's "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb", Gu Cancan feels that she will lose both.
After all, the quality of Director Feng's movie is really good, and it won't work this time if you want to use word-of-mouth to crush it.
Gu Cancan thought for a moment and asked Jiang Meiying: "Sister Meiying, what movies will be released during the Spring Festival?" ”
"Spring Festival? It's not the right schedule, right? Jiang Meiying's delicate eyebrows furrowed together.
"Yes, there aren't many people watching movies during the Spring Festival."
Gu Cancan was stunned for a moment, and then he figured out that at this time, the Spring Festival stall had not yet been proposed. Baidu's latest chapter of "Transforming into a National Goddess Jiezhong Literature" is free to read for the first time.
