The box office of Chinese movies is increasing.

In the past, it was not easy to exceed 100 million at the box office, but now it is not uncommon to exceed 100 million at every turn, and it is not uncommon for the box office to exceed 100 million in the first week.

In addition to the fact that everyone has money and is willing to spend some money to watch movies and enjoy it, there is another important reason behind this, which is that the environment of the cinema has been greatly improved.

Digital screens have accounted for almost 90%, and there are more and more 3D screens and IMAX halls, and the improvement of the service and environment of cinemas has also made people willing to go to cinemas.

Couples can go to the cinema for a date, and families can go to the cinema to watch a movie together.

Wanda Cinema Line is undergoing large-scale renovation and construction.

The start-up press conference ended successfully, and in the banquet hall next door, good dishes were already served and everyone was entertained.

At around 4 o'clock in the afternoon, Li Hao took the crew to get off the plane from Yinqi Airport.

The set here is ready.

The location of "The Martian" is in Ningxia, and the studio is also in Western Film and Television City, which saves time for transitions.

A western film and television base in the northwest suburbs of Yinqi.

The desolate Northwest Desert has created its quaint, primitive, rough, desolate, and unique architectural style.

Movies such as "Journey to the West", "New Dragon Gate Inn", and "Red Sorghum" were filmed here.

The bus took everyone to the gate of the base.

I saw that the green screen studio that had been opened up here was 25 meters high and an area of thousands of square meters.

The entire surface of Mars has been built in the studio, a full-size human center has been placed, and even a rover can be launched.

The green screen was only used to add CG mountain footage in the distance, as well as panorama footage shot in the Tengger Desert during the preparation stage.

The Tengger Desert did not go directly to shoot, but a large area was transformed, completely in accordance with the reference data of the Martian geomorphology given by the Space Agency.

When Li Hao and the others arrived, the crew who originally came in advance was still busy, and the art director, photographer, and gaffer were constantly adjusting the lighting.

The four assistant directors led two teams of people to set up around, and people also came in and out of the human center, and the rover was also checking.

"How's it going?" Li Hao asked.

"Director Li! All set! Everyone said.

"Director Li, you can start filming at any time!"

Li Hao nodded, it cost a lot of money here, even with the strong support of the local government, the crew also spent a lot of money.

The studio was even set up with the assistance of a team of experts sent by the space agency.

And this team of experts will assist with the filming until it is completed.

This kind of treatment, looking at the whole country, is only possible for three or four directors to enjoy.

Li Hao nodded.

He then went to other human centers and other studios, which were built under the direction of the space agency, at 1:1 scale.

It can be said that these are scientifically based.

Even the Mars rover is specially built and can stand up to scientific arguments.

After all, in this regard, the space agency also has technical reserves, and the next part of China's lunar exploration project is the Mars exploration project.

This is the current Haotian Media has this ability, and China Film has this influence, otherwise these constructions alone will not be able to be built for a year.

Li Hao did not shoot directly, firstly, the actors had just taken a plane, and secondly, the crew who arrived in the early stage did not have a good meal.

When he came, he naturally wanted to invite everyone to a big meal first.

The next day.

Early in the morning, the crew finished breakfast.

"Prepare for each department!" Li Hao held a loudspeaker and sat in front of the monitor.

"The props set is ready!"

"The lighting team is ready!"

"The camera crew is ready!"

“.”

All departments are ready.

And several actors painted their makeup early in the morning and put on spacesuits!

"The third scene, one shot, one time!"

"Let's go!"

Everyone was ready, and naturally Li Hao also began to give shooting orders.

In the vicinity of the spacecraft, three actors, including Hu Ge and Zhang Ziyi, were sampling the soil of Mars around the spacecraft.

The techniques, movements, and the amount of sampling have been contacted countless times in advance, and each step has been taught by experts from the space agency.

A wide range of viewing angles took pictures of all three of them.

"Most of the soil particles here are coarse, but Zone 19 is much finer, which should be more suitable for chemical analysis." The camera slowly zooms in, and the male protagonist played by Hu Ge says as he puts a sample of dirt into a container.

In Li Hao, the time background of "The Martian" is set in 2050.

Then Lei Jiayin's voice came from the headset: "Look, what has been discovered!" ”

Through the communicator, he worked while talking nonsense, and there was no tension in the alien at all.

"Cards!" After one scene at a time, Li Hao shouted to stop.

He touched his chin and looked at the two images from the monitor in front of him, leaning back slightly.

Then I called the photographer over, and after giving some instructions, I restarted the shooting.

That's how it is when it comes to filming, sometimes one shot is done over and over again, and sometimes one shot takes days.

This time, the lens moonlight immediately shows the entire Martian ground, a quaint sense of desolation.

filmed both sides again, and Li Hao was satisfied with it.

This time, in order to shoot this TV series well, I also invested heavily in the purchase of the Red Epic Dragon6K camera, which is currently the world's top camera equipment.

The camera is advanced, the shooting effect is good, and the same price is ridiculously expensive!

But the reality is like this, domestic production can't be produced, you can only buy other people's, and how much money is up to people.

At night, the scene of the Martian storm was filmed.

"Let's go!" With Li Hao's order, the entire studio dimmed, and only the speed of light came from the spaceship, as well as the lights on the helmets of several of them.

Immediately after that, ten high-power blowers started at the same time.

The yellow sand is all over the sky, and the earth is flying!

Hugo and the other three slowly walked out of the human base and walked towards the spaceship with difficulty in the face of the storm.

This storm scene will only be a few minutes at that time, but it took more than four hours to shoot before the filming was completed.

It wasn't until late at night that Li Hao announced the end of today's play.

When several actors took off their helmets and spacesuits, they were covered in sweat.

After removing makeup and washing, eat supper together.

The chef of the crew has prepared a supper.

"How?" Li Hao and Hu Ge and Zhang Ziyi were at the same table.

"Tired! Difficult! Hu Ge said with emotion: "It's better to receive special training for a month, otherwise you will definitely not be able to bear it!" ”

Zhang Ziyi nodded very approvingly: "The difficulty of science fiction films is very great, if you don't receive special training, you will definitely not be able to act by thinking and speculating on the script!" ”

Li Hao thought so.

If you want to shoot a good science fiction film in outer space, you can't do without aviation technology.

For example, this time, "The Martian" does not use the current Chinese aerospace spacecraft form, but uses the form of electric propulsion, and at the same time, a communication system has been established between Mars and the Earth.

And there will be a Chinese space station and a lunar research station at that time.

In the new January, kneel and beg for a monthly pass
