Chapter 314: Raiders of the Lost Ark 2
――――――――――
Half a month later, "Search" has collected a total of 620 million yuan from the domestic film market, which is crazy!!
And "Red Sorghum", which has always had a good reputation, is only 340 million yuan, which is far from it.
Many movie fans have gone to the cinema to watch it for the second, third or even more times, some people go because they are moved, some people go because they are in the situation, although "Search" does not have a vigorous scene, nor does it drag and drop cool actions, but it easily breaks through the barriers in people's hearts, leaving them with a deep impression and harvesting many tears.
And the Weibo of "Blue Autumn Bloom", "Yang Shoucheng" will be updated on Weibo almost every day, and the words are full of guilt and nostalgia for the deceased lover.
Every time 'Yang Shoucheng' posted a Weibo, netizens frantically forwarded it, which added a heavy touch to the promotion of "Search".
This Weibo is very successful, and the number of fans has continued to soar in the past half a month, and it has now exceeded 300,000 people.
As the protagonist of the movie, Fan Ye has become more popular because of "Search", and at this time he has been called the goddess of 07 by the Internet, and he is popular all over the country.
And her Weibo can be said to have skyrocketed in fans, directly from 2 million to 3 million. She is the actor in the "Search" movie, and her salary has increased the most. directly rose from 350,000 to more than 600,000, and even some movies gave her a salary of 800,000.
In addition to Fan Ye, actor Wang Xueqi, who played the boss of the successful businessman, Shen Liushu, also fought a turnaround battle at this time. Although in the movie, his career-oriented approach to family made many people dislike. However, the perfectly created image of a calm, atmospheric and friendly businessman has made many people fall in love with it.
Originally, it was more difficult for him to take over the drama when he was older, but now after the successful performance of "Search". His acting career is also in its second spring, and many film companies have contacted him.
Naturally, he will not forget who gave him the opportunity. He finally saw the opportunity and called Lin Mu: "Director Lin, do you have time to invite you to dinner?" I know there's a good restaurant. ”
"It's not free yet, I'll see ...... in a few days," Lin Muwan refused. It's not that Lin Mu doesn't give face, but someone has already invited Lin Mu, including Chen Kaige and Fan Ye......
With the continuous release of "Search", the heated discussions it caused across the country have gradually become popular, and the hottest issues are media and online violence.
Although Ye Lanqiu in "Search" said that he committed suicide by jumping off the building. But it is undeniable that the media and online violence have played an extremely disgraceful role here.
Many netizens who are keen on Internet doxing, Internet police, and criticizing others from the highest moral point have introspected.
Soon after, a man wrote a thousand-word confession, detailing the mistakes he had made in ignorance, triggering a series of introspections. And the protagonist of the 'stepmother abusing girls' incident, the stepmother who was hurt by online violence also received a lot of apology letters.
In this environment, the media, websites, and individuals who were sued by the husbands of the parties to the 'stepmother abuse of girls' incident have been sentenced to fines, either detained or fined.
And doxing, Internet insults, these online products. Beginning to fade out of the Internet, netizens became more rational. Those vicious Internet speculators have also begun to die down.
The changes on the Internet have also caused a lot of things in reality, and Ye Lanqiu's tombstone was finally leaked by the employees of the original company. It caused a lot of people to come and worship. Many people who have done wrong in this matter have come here to express their apologies. However, Lin Mu hoped that it would be better for these people not to disturb Ye Lanqiu's rest.
In addition to the remarkable results of "Search" and "Red Sorghum", "007: Battle of Casino Royale", "I Am Legend", and "2012" that followed up later have all achieved great success. In particular, the two movies "I Am Legend" and "2012", one is an apocalyptic disaster. A post-apocalyptic catastrophe and biochemical class, they are well-crafted and have a doomsday gimmick. attracted a lot of fans, and the box office earned 250 million yuan each in just one week.
But it's not without its drawbacks. In the apocalyptic times, the Chinese film market is a bit flooded with biochemical genres. The stamina of these two movies will obviously have congenital deficiencies.
Sure enough, in the following days, the box office of these two films began to decline rapidly, only slightly better than ordinary movies, and even the current single-day box office of "Search", which was released a week earlier, is higher than the two of them.
――――――――――
Just when domestic movies are fighting for me. Lin Mu also said that he was very busy.
As a well-known director in China. At the same time, he is one of the few directors in China who has international fame. Naturally, many actors want to please Lin Mu, of course, even if it is an unspoken rule, there are many actresses who are willing or even active.
Pity. Lin Mu doesn't have the time to accept their favor for the time being, because Lin Mu is going to the filming site of "Raiders of the Lost Ark 2".
But before that, Lin Mu still has to go to one person's appointment, Fan Ye's.
At 7 o'clock in the evening, Lin Mu drove to a private restaurant on time.
As a celebrity, in fact, it is not free, you can't go anywhere with a lot of people, you have to dodge when eating, you have to dodge when you go shopping, and you have to dodge when you go out to play, otherwise once you are recognized, it is easy to encounter 'onlookers'......
After Lin Mu arrived at the reserved private room, Fan Ye had already arrived in advance at this time. At this time, she was wearing a blue and white dress, a denim shirt on her upper body, and her hair was shoulder-length and not long. It is not revealing in terms of dressing, leaving a thin white leg.
Although Lin Mu has seen a lot of beauties, in the face of Fan Ye, he still has to admit that the beauties in front of him always exude the charming temperament.
"No wonder she is called the goddess of national temperament by many fans."
However, Lin Mu thought of another thing, in the former time and space. After she finished filming the hot TV series "Returning the Pearl", it became popular for a while. But soon on a variety show, netizens said that she was starting to get old, and she no longer had the original goddess flavor.
I don't know if Fan Ye in this time and space will be like this.
"Sir......" Fan Ye saw Lin Mu coming. She got up happily to greet her, she naturally didn't know what Lin Mu was thinking, if she knew, she would probably vomit blood in her heart.
Looking at Lin Mu's slashed face on the other side, with thick eyebrows and thick ears, it looked particularly stable and imposing, Fan Ye couldn't help but feel a little heartbeat and blush.
People like Lin Mu are simply a super invincible Diamond King Old Fifth level character, rich, good character, and most importantly, talented. It is naturally better to be able to be the partner of the other half of life, what a wealthy son, what a rich man or the like, compared with Lin Mu, he directly became scum.
This time, I invited Lin Mu, in addition to thanking Lin Mu for naming Fan Ye as the protagonist when the crew of "Searching" was formed, I also hope to be able to pull a relationship, so that I can take on a few more good movies, those movies that can participate in the impact of Hollywood. It made her very eager.
began to chat with Lin Mu seriously......
Two hours later, the two were full of food and drink and left.
――――――――
On January 10, 2008, Lin Mu left for the south. Executive producer of "Raiders of the Lost Ark 2".
"Raiders of the Lost Ark 2" continues the plot of "Raiders of the Lost Ark 6" in the previous time and space, and spreads the scope of vision to the whole world, and the events take place in India.
The Pearl of China in 1935. Dr. Indiana Jones made a deal with a Shanghai gang boss who reneged on his promise after trading Nurhachi's ashes. Kill Jones's mouth. At a critical moment, the clever imp rescues Dr. Jones and Willie, a singer who is involved for no reason.
Due to the crash of the plane in which the three people were traveling. After jumping out of the plane, they drifted to a village in India in a rubber boat. The rivers have dried up, the crops have been destroyed, famine is rampant, and the people are struggling to make ends meet. The locals blamed the evil spirits of the Pengau Palace, and regarded Jones and his party as the embodiment of the gods, and they begged Jones to help them retrieve the captured sacred stone and all the children.
The Demon Palace is really full of weirdness, the ruler is a child, the nobles eat leeches, pythons, beetles, monkey brains, and the palace is full of organs.
The first is the tourist attractions that have been added to the same tourist attractions as Raiders of the Lost Ark 1, from Spain's Canary Islands to London's Belly Button Cadillary Square. Then to Liverpool Dale Street, Glasgow, Scotland......
It can be said that this film has basically adopted international venues, and only a small part of it was shot in China.
When I first negotiated with the local government of each scenic spot, with the popularity of "Raiders of the Lost Ark 1" and the fact that it can attract tourists to come for sightseeing and tourism, the other party charged a relatively small fee, in one of the words: "Just mean it." ”
When the original location was chosen for the Canary Islands in Spain, there were some twists and turns. The filming location of the protagonist Hua Qiang's retreat after the Great Robbery was not originally here. Instead, it was set in Marseille, France. However, the tax rate of the Canary Islands is lower, which can reduce the shooting cost of 20 million yuan, so after communicating with Lin Mu, it was changed to the Canary Islands.
By this time it was January. The scenes abroad have been filmed. There are still three left to be filmed domestically. The first is the bar section. The second is the plane at the end, and the other is the transaction.
At this time, it was the bar that was going to be filmed.
The location of the shooting was chosen on a section of road with less traffic.
In the past two days, the road has been closed for filming.
At this time, the personnel, vehicles, and other 'dragon' cars are ready, and the helicopter for aerial photography is also ready early.
The crew members made up, prepared props, and debugged various equipment, and the crew and actors were busy.
Although Director Yan Gang of "Raiders of the Lost Ark 2" is young (a few years older than Lin Mu), he has a lot of experience, and Lin Mu can see that he has run in well with the crew at this time, and has established enough directorial prestige, and the whole team is like an arm, flexible and free.
Under the roar of Director Yan Gang, there was no chaos in the crew's methodical and tense preparations.
Soon, Yan Gang came to Lin Mu with a little excitement on his face: "I thought of a good idea, this way, we studied a plot in the early stage of our study - 'Dr. Jones made a deal with the boss from here, and after failing, he was chased and killed by the boss's men, and fled here in a panic...... Then he was greeted by a speeding car, and in an instant he took a step back from the fraction of a second, then pulled the door all at once, and at this moment drove into the passenger seat......"
Yan Gang did not have the right to delete the movie script, and every time he had an idea, he would call Lin Mu to apply.
At this time, he excitedly explained to Lin Mu while using a paintbrush to draw the scene he wanted to express on the drawing board.
After hearing this, Lin Mu simulated the scene in his head, felt that this idea was good, and agreed: "This is a good idea, but these actions are too dangerous, and they must ......be done by using the method of picking green in the green box."
The so-called green key refers to the technique of shooting with green as the background during photography or videography, and using the "chroma key" of the stunt machine to cut out the green background in post-production, and replacing it with other more ideal backgrounds, so as to make the actors and props look as if they were shot in other more ideal backgrounds.
For example, the hero and heroine collide and hug each other in the sky above the highway, and at the same time slam on one of the high-speed passages, if the real person shoots, in case there is a problem with the props such as Wia, the actor may fall into a 100-meter deep valley, and if he does not die, he will be seriously disabled.
But if you use the green cutting technique, the two actors can easily do this in the studio, and there is no danger. This is a convenient technology that has emerged after the advancement of film special effects technology, and its significance is no worse than that of 3D technology.
In order to achieve the purpose of green picking, actors and props are required not to use green during filming. The green background requires uniform lighting, with no shadows and chromatic aberrations. In order to achieve the purpose of changing the background, in addition to picking green, it is also often "picking blue", that is, shooting with a blue background. Whether it's green or blue, it's usually done in the studio, because only the studio can arrange the light as evenly as possible.
The "green box" that Lin Mu refers to is this kind of studio specially used for green picking.
Hearing Lin Mu's agreement, Yan Gang was a little surprised, and then wrote it down in his notebook so as not to forget, and at the same time made some minor adjustments to the original script.
Soon, under the direction of the director, the first scene began.
First of all, it is naturally drag racing, these scenes are also quite dangerous, and it is still up to the driver to operate, and Yan Ran has become the queen driver of "Raiders of the Lost Ark" at this time.
When filming began, all the other voices fell silent, except for the cars that were preparing to race......
"Boom Boom~~~~"
The engine of the sports car makes a deafening vibration sound, which is full of power and makes people can't help but be enthusiastic~~ (To be continued.) )
