.........

"The box office of "Transformers 2" exceeded 30 million on the first day, breaking the first-day box office record in the mainland and sweeping the mainland film market!"

Tencent Entertainment reports for you: On June 24, "Transformers 2" was simultaneously released in various countries around the world.

According to the information learned by relevant people, the box office of the movie on the first day was 34 million, which was more than 10 million more than the record of 24 million held by "Red Cliff 1".

Judging by some movie lovers and critics, the movie very much hopes to break the domestic box office record of 360 million soft girl coins hit by "Titanic"! ”

Sina Entertainment: "Transformers 2", which was released in the early morning of the 23rd, is about to ignite the entire summer file, and it will win 34 million box office on the first day of release.

According to Director Fang, his new film "Detective Chinatown" has been filmed for more than half of the filming, and the crew is currently running well, and there is no shortage of funds. ”

"Imperial Capital Entertainment: Fang Ziheng, a new generation of box office blockbuster director, made a big fuss after attending the premiere of "Transformers 2", thinking that "Transformers" is just a popcorn movie without nutrition, and there is no logical story to speak of except for visual effects."

"Transformers 2" exploded!

The explosion was unexpected, far beyond the cognition of insiders.

The entertainment media reported wildly, while holding up Hollywood blockbusters, the end of domestic movies is coming.

On the other hand, he frequently interviewed major Chinese directors and many first-line movie stars and asked them for their opinions.

â€Ļâ€Ļâ€Ļ

June 25th.

Fang Ziheng, Liu Qianqian, Zhang Zifeng, mother and daughter boarded the plane and flew to southern Thailand for the follow-up filming of "Tang Detective".

accompanied by Chen Yu of China Film and Zhao Changan, deputy director of Huayi Production Department, the two represented the delivery party, one was to visit the crew, and the other was to inspect the shooting progress and film quality.

On the plane, Fang Ziheng, Chen Yu, and Zhao Changan sat together, chatting with each other.

In front of them, Liu Qianqian was holding the little boy wind and telling a story to the little girl.

Xiao Zifeng seems to like the young lady very much, and after getting on the plane, the whole person sticks to her, and Zhang's mother can't pull it.

"Director Fang, what do you think of the final box office of "Transformers 2"?"

Chen Yu closed the newspaper in his hand, turned his head sideways and asked Fang Ziheng, and on the front page of the newspaper, there was a report on "Transformers 2".

"Pretty high."

Fang Ziheng stretched out his hand and asked for a cup of coffee from the young lady who was passing by, smiled and said, "Although it is a popcorn, it is also a standard Hollywood industrial movie, and it is definitely excellent in terms of visual effects." ”

"Superior?"

"Director Fang means that Hollywood still has movies and technologies with better visual effects?"

Huayi Zhao Changan was stunned, instantly heard the sound outside the strings, turned his head and asked in surprise.

"Absolutely!"

After taking the coffee from the flight attendant's hand, Fang Ziheng said thank you.

He looked at the long white clouds outside the window and sighed: "Hollywood's shooting technology is very strong, if there is no external interference, only our domestic filmmakers, I am afraid it will take a long time to catch up with Hollywood." ”

"As far as I know, some famous directors in Hollywood are already using 3D technology to shoot movies."

“3dīŧŸâ€

Chen Yu muttered softly, revealing an expression of doubt and curiosity.

What a new term!

"Yes, it's 3D!"

Fang Ziheng took a sip of coffee, pressed the coffee cup on the newspaper, and began to popularize science to two industry peers.

The so-called 3D in the film industry is a way to record images when shooting movies using 3D stereoscopic shooting technology.

Stereoscopic film shooting technology refers to the use of two cameras at the same time to record images at a certain distance and angle. The playback of 3D videos can be achieved in a variety of ways, such as forward projection, rear projection, flat projection, ring screen, active and passive.

At this stage, professional 3D stereoscopic real shooting is generally realized by using 3D shooting brackets.

For example, Cameron's filming of "Avatar" used the team's own 3D shooting bracket and SONY's customized professional camera.

The visual effects shot by this technology far exceed the current special effects blockbusters, which are real and clear, making people feel immersive, as if they have arrived in another world.

It is with its powerful technology and film industry system that Hollywood can conquer cities around the world.

Domestic films, on the other hand, are still using film and a small number of digital cameras.

To be honest, what domestic films lack is not funds, nor is it simple shooting equipment.

What domestic films lack is countless behind-the-scenes work teams, and what they lack is talents engaged in special effects, 3D and other film technology jobs.

There is no capital, you can pull investment, China's economy is thriving, and there is no shortage of rich people to invest in good film projects.

If you don't have shooting equipment, you can also spend money to buy it abroad.

Hengyu Media's newly purchased digital cameras and many new shooting equipment, and several domestic special effects companies that the investment department is looking for investment in are all making reserves for technology.

But if there is no professional operation talent, the establishment of industrial film is all free to talk about.

At this stage, the number of people who can only be used to shoot a blockbuster film in China can be piled up, appearing in front of the stage, assisting behind the scenes, and using thousands of people for a blockbuster.

Lao Mouzi's "Hero", Chen Daren's "Wuji", Feng Pants' "Night Banquet", and Wu Baige's "Red Cliff" were all filmed with huge manpower.

These movies, although they reflect big investment and big casts, spend most of the money on labor costs, and the proportion of funds that really fall on film shooting is not high.

The real gap between domestic films and Hollywood is the production methods of industrial films, as well as the technical talents behind the scenes.

The former can be applied to what you have learned, as long as you have money.

The latter is different, and the behind-the-scenes team needs to go to Hollywood to learn and practice, and learn from teachers.

Fang Ziheng's words made Chen Yu and Zhao Changan both fall silent,

are both eating together in the film industry, and the two of them really haven't thought about these problems, all they think about is how to supervise a good movie and achieve a good box office.

They have never thought about catching up with Hollywood, how to revive such a big thing as domestic movies.

After a long time, Chen Yu exhaled lightly and asked, "Director Fang, what do you mean by external intervention?"

"That is, the attention of the leadership must really fall into practical action.

For example, if you are a co-production, you have to show a real Sino-foreign co-production, and the funds, main actors, and behind-the-scenes production team must all involve our Chinese people.

Especially the behind-the-scenes production team, at least one-third of the Chinese people must be involved in order to be considered a co-production.

You can't just find a Chinese artist, give a dispensable role, and take a few gimmick posters as a co-production, right! ”

Fang Ziheng smiled and pointed out the current problem of domestic co-productions in a flat tone.

During this period of time, the country has further integrated with international standards, and the entertainment industry is one of them, and the entertainment industry falls to the specific place, which is nothing more than movies and animation.

Among them, the movie is the biggest, "The King of Kung Fu" is the product of the co-production, this drama is not bad, although it is a big bad movie, but the main characters are Chinese.

Other so-called co-productions, that's really spicy to the eye.

A supporting role that is not even counted as a second time, appeared in a scene for more than ten minutes, changed the skin and became a co-production, and then released it in China in a grand manner, enjoying the treatment of a co-production.

For this kind of bad movie, Fang Ziheng just wants to say I'll fuck you, rub the big mother!

Saying this in front of Chen Yu today, he couldn't help it, others were soft-spoken, and he couldn't say anything if he wanted to do something, so he could only complain.

I hope that this complaint can play a role in front of Chen Yu.

Last night, he talked to Concubine Lin on the phone and learned a news.

Next month, Chen Yu will become a regular and officially become the director of the distribution department of China Film.

Director of the Distribution Department of China Film, this is a serious department-level cadre.

Chen Yu is just over 30 years old, young and strong, and is very valued by Han Dong and several leaders of the Film Bureau.

As if he heard the meaning of Fang Ziheng's words, Chen Yu quietly bumped his arm, showed a knowing smile, and then gestured with his hand to make a phone call.

That means to tell Fang Ziheng that he will truthfully convey what he said just now, and as for whether it is useful or not, it depends on the will of heaven.
