116 scenes, send you a middle finger to show friendship
Think about the battle loss ratio of the two sides at the beginning of the war, and then look at the battle loss ratio of the two sides in this chemical communication incident.
You can understand why the Japanese side is angry about this matter.
This is also the reason why Zheng Xu chose this incident, if you hit someone, you will be slapped in the face! If you scold someone, you will expose it!
Now it seems that the current environment is still promising, and next year is a critical time node.
So for the third film about the United States, he felt that it could be slowed down a little.
After these two films are launched, although they can't change the general environment, but... At least Zheng Xu did his best, don't rush, take your time.
The current Yanguo is no longer what it was many years ago when it was only concerned about developing the economy!
Now is the beginning of the economic development of Yanguo, and it has begun to turn to the pursuit of a certain international status!
What does international status depend on?
Military and cultural!
This is not the same as the kind of aid that was given to backward countries many years ago.
No matter how good the military development is, what is popular in China is the culture of other countries, and TV dramas are also impacted by foreign TV dramas, what is this?
This can only be considered lame, walking on one leg.
This is also the reason why since the past two years, the publicity of some main theme films will get better and better, and the results have also gone up.
This is driven by the general direction of the situation, and Zheng Xu is also just in time for a good time, and by the way, he borrowed this shareholder wind.
A few years ago, the script of "Above the Yellow Sea" was easy to say.
But the script about the chemical communication incident will never be passed.
Next, Zheng Xu answered a few questions that were not salty or light, even if this press conference was over, everyone got the first-hand information, and with the news, the ones that should be dispersed will be dispersed.
The whole crew was busy packing up for two days, and they waited for the group performance to come by train, and now the personnel are all here.
....................
"Fifth brother, do you think the overall arrangement is okay?" Xiaoliu is leading the way in front, and Zheng Xu is inspecting this "hospital".
Kanto Film and Television City is divided into several areas, and the biggest difference from other film and television cities is the local climate and the architecture of the Republic of China.
The buildings here during the Republic of China period are the most complete in China, covering a large enough area, and the restoration is relatively good.
As for the exterior scenes that need to be filmed at that time, Zheng Xu is more inclined to shoot with real scenes, and finally chose Mukden at will, in the middle or late October of previous years, the first snow came, but this year it was slightly delayed.
But it's not a big problem, the snow doesn't fall, so let's shoot an indoor scene first.
Yi Xiaoxing saw Zheng Xu's gesture and hurriedly led people to start shooting, several staff members began to move according to the instructions on the storyboard, and the cameraman turned on the shooting.
This is done to take it back and see how it looks in the finished film, and sometimes, there will be a certain difference between what the scene looks like and what it looks like when it is filmed.
So this time, Zheng Xu began to use a new method, that is, before the official start of filming, he first experimentally shot some shots, and after going back, he hastily adjusted the color to see the picture effect and then determine where it needed to be modified.
.............
In the evening, in the post-production room that was temporarily renovated, Zheng Xu pointed to the monitor and said to Xiaoliu: "I see nothing, if we want to make a lens with a sense of history, the whole film will be a little yellow, which can't be changed by color grading." ”
Zheng Xu's words are a bit problematic, but no one is serious, everyone understands what he means.
If you want to be more realistic in this kind of picture, the overall tone cannot be very bright, you can only do dark tones and cold colors, but dark tones will inevitably make the hospital walls look very white!
Think about that era, the general hospital could not achieve the wall color so white, which would make the hospital look very new!
Whether it's new architecture or new clothes, in the TV series, filming will make the audience feel fake!
Although no one will care about this in ordinary anti-Japanese war dramas, isn't "Bright Sword" doing just that?
Through the overall dark tone, the picture looks a little dirty, and the actors' clothes are also worn, which looks very real.
But Zheng Xu didn't want to be like "Bright Sword", they were limited to funds at the time and had to do it, but he is not short of funds now.
Although the wall can be adjusted to a slightly yellowish and old-fashioned effect in the later stage, the overall picture will appear more yellowish.
It takes a lot of manpower and time!
Zheng Xu couldn't wait so long at all, and he didn't feel at ease if he handed it over to an outsourced post-production company.
So now he can only use a two-pronged approach, first renovate the hospital wall a little, and then through the post-color grading, to achieve the effect he wants.
Xiao Liu nodded, he understood the effect that Zheng Xu wanted, and the operation was very simple, only need to use yellow pigment, diluted it, and spray a thin layer on the wall, and the effect can be achieved in a short time, it depends on the management of the film and television city to let them operate like this.
Zheng Xu directly called Lao Zhao and told him in detail about the matter.
Lao Zhao Haikou praised it, not to mention spraying a little yellow paint, spraying the entire wall yellow!
Zheng Xu's flashing media has only been stationed in Kanto Film and Television City for a few days, how much publicity has it brought them?
He didn't even think of this at the time.
................
After dinner in the evening, Wang Oufei had to pull Zheng Xu to watch "Hot Afternoon" on Penguin Video, which is also strange, this film has been screened for so long, how could it suddenly become popular again on Penguin Video?
Zheng Xu has been busy for the past two days and has no time to pay attention, so now he simply accompanies Wang Ou to watch it.
The two of them lay on the bed, put their laptops on the pillows, and looked at the head portrait hanging at the top of the black and white cover, with several characters in the distant scenes below, and the English names at the bottom line.
There is a small rating of 9.7 in the lower right corner!
With the end of the buffer, a massive barrage hit, Zheng Xu was dazzled and glanced at it a few times, and even saw a three-brush barrage!
, as for the three brushes of this film?
What do you want to do? Going to the U.S. to support minorities?
At the beginning of the feature film, it is the editing scene of the American ghetto filmed by Yi Xiaoxing....
[Is there such a place in the United States?] 】
[It turns out that they are not high-rise buildings everywhere, right? 】
With the appearance of Yi Xiaoxing and Er Lei, the first climax of this film is coming!
Yi Xiaoxing twisted his ass quite coquettishly to find out the information, and finally when it came time to really rob the bank, he actually coaxed!
Lei Jiayin was confused by Yi Xiaoxing!
And in order to make it easier to go home, he also turned back to ask Regayin, who was robbing the bank, for the car keys, and wanted to drive home by himself.
Lei Jiayin held the gun, looked at the hostage embarrassedly, and argued with Yi Xiaoxing in a low voice.
The barrage here is the most dense, and the dense crowd is almost impossible to see the picture.
[The first time I heard it, I was afraid that I would be noisy when I went home late, and I didn't rob the bank! ] God's drive home fast! 】
[I heard that this little bald head is still the assistant director of this film? ] 】
"Haha, I couldn't see it when I was shooting at the time, but it's still quite interesting to look at it through the letters~"
Ignoring Wang Ou, Zheng Xu reached out and controlled the mouse to set the barrage to be displayed only on the top layer, and the picture suddenly became much more refreshing.
After watching it for a long time, Zheng Xu kind of understands why "Hot Afternoon" will have a second spring on Penguin Video.
It's because this film is the first film in China to win an Oscar!
There are a lot of petty bourgeois young people pretending to watch this movie!
Very simple purpose.
And on the computer, it's closer to the picture, everyone looks at the subtitles, and they can figure out the meaning of the story, and then they find, hey~
This film is a bit interesting, the critics didn't lie!
This point was ignored by Zheng Xu.
Many of the film critics in this era are still very professional!
There is still a little bit of moderation, and many of them have a very pertinent evaluation of this movie.
This is also the reason why when the world "Hot Afternoon" was released in theaters in the previous period, although the box office was very strained, it was highly evaluated!
But although the evaluation is high, the current audience is really afraid of being cheated by film critics, a movie that is told by film critics to be like a flower, the audience is just the opposite dare not watch it!
Because the film critics appreciated, most of the audience couldn't enjoy it!
But when it comes to Penguin Video, it's different, this thing is not like when it was in the cinema, the ticket price is so expensive, 3 yuan for members, 6 yuan for non-members, most people can still afford it!
That's it, through the word-of-mouth spread of a small number of people, this movie finally entered the public eye!
Thinking about these hindsight things, Zheng Xu watched another wonderful famous scene played on the monitor, Lei Jiayin was confronting the police!
The lively crowd cheered him back, and then the picture was pulled back, giving a long shot, Zheng Xu and Wang Ou looked like a young couple going out on a trip, and walked over from the intersection.
Then the screen cuts to a close-up of Zheng Xu.
He pulled Wang Ou and said in Chinese: "Hey, what's going on ahead?" What's the excitement, let's take a look. ”
Two acquaintances suddenly appeared in a film like this!
Most of the audience still has an impression of them, and they still speak familiar Chinese.
Zheng Xu and the others behaved very much in line with the psychology of the domestic public, traveling abroad for the first time, and seeing a large number of people gathered together abroad, thinking that there was something lively to see, and they didn't think about robbing the bank at all!
Then Wang Ou pointed to the door next to the bank, the English version of the Honey Snow Bingcheng Milk Tea Shop!
Anyway, you don't care how unreasonable it is for this bubble tea shop to appear in the United States in 1972, it just appeared anyway!
And mixed into the surrounding shops, the overall decoration style is not abrupt!
The two of them looked very interested, bought two cups of milk tea and approached the door of the bank to watch the excitement!
Here a famous scene appeared, due to the language barrier, the American police were afraid that Zheng Xu and the others would be kidnapped by Lei Jiayin, and when the police moved, Lei Jiayin thought that Zheng Xu and the others were plainclothes policemen!
Both sides are afraid of each other, you retreat and I advance, you advance and I retreat.
Zheng Xu, who was sandwiched in the middle, drank milk tea with a confused expression, and finally figured out the truth of the matter, gave each side a middle finger to show friendship, and then just took Wang Ou away!
Why is this movie absurd?
There are a lot of such unreliable but real plots in it!
Zheng Xu and the others were the same, he gave the American police the middle finger, and was cheered by the surrounding crowd, everyone made way for them to make a path, and the two of them just quit.
Everything seemed to be filming, the police watched Zheng Xu leave the scene, and they started to be nervous again, and then they all stood up and continued to confront the robber Lei Jiayin!
