Chapter 217 As soon as filming started, it encountered a bad situation, and the crew was suspended.

"Good work."

Looking at Gong Li and Wang Xueqi, who were struggling to take off their diving suits and oxygen cylinders, Wu Yuan hurriedly greeted them.

Wang Xueqi is okay, although he is 60 years old, his body is still very tough, even after experiencing multiple trainings such as the cabin activity simulator, water tank, and low-pressure cabin, he is still full of energy.

Gong Li is different, as a "weak woman", Gong Li is indeed a little unable to hold on to high-intensity training.

"Director Wu, huh, I knew that it was so difficult to make this movie, I should have thought more about it before deciding." Gong Li gasped and grumbled.

Of course, she just complained and complained.

Today's actors are not as expensive as they will be more than ten years later.

The actors of "The Grandmaster" can practice martial arts for three years before filming starts, and it is nothing for his Wu Yuan's actors to suffer for a few months in the space agency.

"How's it going, do you feel it?" Wu Yuan asked slowly.

Gong Li and Wang Xueqi glanced at each other, both of them were a little unsure, "It should be." ”

During the filming of "Gravity" this time, during the filming, the low-gravity environment could basically only be achieved by hanging Weiya, which means that during the filming, the actors had to fight against gravity by themselves.

When hanging in mid-air, imitate the movements of astronauts in weightless environments.

After diving for a month or two, the two of them can be considered to have found their senses, knowing how astronauts act in low gravity and what their movements are like.

It's just that after getting out of the underwater environment, whether the two of them can restore the performance, they themselves are not sure.

It was impossible for Wu Yuan to give them unlimited time to train.

After watching for an afternoon, seeing how the two of them moved, and having a clear understanding of the internal structure of the space station, he pondered that he could start the camera and try to shoot.

The set up team of the crew has set up several studios in Huairou Film and Television Base, and the interior scenes of the International Space Station, Tiangong Space Station, Soyuz spacecraft, and Shenzhou spacecraft have been completed.

The final version of the script has also been polished.

The story of the final version is still a little different from the original.

In the final version of the story, the female doctor of medicine played by Gong Li, after encountering the destruction of satellite debris at the beginning, first took a spacecraft back to the Tiangong space station, and then after the Tiangong space station accidentally caught fire, she fled to the Russian space station in a rescue capsule, and finally successfully returned to Earth through the Soyuz spacecraft that stayed on the Russian space station.

The International Space Station in the story was destroyed by satellite debris at the beginning of the story.

The little joke that could not read the words inside the spaceship, but could still operate the spacecraft, was also perfected with the help of the space agency's experts.

Russia's Soyuz spacecraft, which was originally the predecessor of the Shenzhou spacecraft, has almost the same operating system.

Therefore, the heroine, who has received professional training from the Huaxia Space Agency, can still operate the Soyuz spacecraft smoothly without understanding Russian.

If it weren't for the experts of the Space Agency to inform Wu Yuan, Wu Yuan really didn't know that Huaxia Aerospace still had such a relationship with Russia.

This also made him immediately understand why in the original movie, the heroine could still operate the Shenzhou spacecraft without understanding Chinese.

Because astronauts who go to the International Space Station are trained to operate the Soyuz spacecraft (Soyuz undertakes the space station and ground shuttle missions).

Therefore, the heroine in the movie did not gamble on luck and successfully started the Shenzhou spacecraft, but gambled according to the method of operating the Soyuz in memory.

"After a lot of hard work, the movie will officially start filming next week!" Wu Yuan applauded and said to the two with a smile on his face.

Gong Li and Wang Xueqi have some expectations and some pressure, looking forward to the filming of China's first space blockbuster, but they are worried that they will not be able to shoot the chain.

"Understood, Director Wu!" The two of them nodded heavily, and made up their minds in their hearts that they must practice more in this last week to find a good state!

A week later.

Huairou Film and Television Base, in the studio rented by "Gravity".

A red banner has been hung at the entrance to the studio.

[The opening ceremony of China's first space sci-fi blockbuster "Gravity"! 】

The movie Gravity, from the beginning of the project, has been very high-profile, more high-profile than any movie made by Wu Yuan before.

Now that the camera is about to start, it will naturally not be low-key, not only released the news early, but also invited dozens of media reporters to participate in the opening ceremony of the visit interview.

At about ten o'clock in the morning, incense cases and cameras covered with red cloths were set up.

Wu Yuan appeared in front of the reporters with Gong Li, Wang Xueqi, Zhang Guorong, and Liu Yifei, who were wearing simulated spacesuits.

Immediately, the sound of the camera taking pictures rang violently.

No way, the appearance of the four actors is really "cool"!

Just like Yang Liwei's departure ceremony, the four actors wore blue and white spacesuits, carried a small square box in their left hand, and held the helmet of the spacesuit in their right hand, and walked onto the temporary rostrum.

On their chests, they all have a five-star red flag tattooed.

"Hello everyone, welcome to the opening ceremony of director Wu Yuan's work "Gravity"!"

"Gravity" is my country's first space disaster science fiction film!"

"The film tells the story of a Chinese space station astronauts who went out of the capsule for space telescope maintenance, and were attacked by space debris that caused a serious accident in spacecraft."

After the assistant director, who acted as the temporary on-site emcee, took the microphone to roughly introduce the plot to the reporters, the on-site reporters immediately flocked to the scene, holding the microphone and wanting to interview.

"Director Wu, it is rumored that this movie will use a lot of computer CG special effects, is it true?"

"Miss Gong Li, can you share what kind of character you are experimenting with?"

"Mr. Zhang Guorong, isn't your new movie in preparation and about to start, can you take care of "Gravity" and the shooting of your new movie?"

"Teacher Wang Xueqi, it is the first time to appear in a space science fiction movie, are you under great pressure?"

"Miss Liu Yifei, there are rumors that you and Director Wu are in love, can you respond positively to this scandal?"

The secrecy of the crew of "Gravity" is still okay, before the start of filming, only Gong Li's absolute appearance news was announced, and the other actors were completely confidential.

Even most of the crew didn't know the details of the script and didn't know that the movie actually only had one and a half starring actors.

Now Wu Yuan took four actors to attend the launch conference, which can be regarded as a smoke bomb, all reporters thought that this movie would be filmed around four astronauts, but they never thought that this movie would be Gong Li's one-man show.

Of course, Wang Xueqi and Zhang Guorong will not expose this secret.

Both of them talked about their feelings about starring in a science fiction movie for the first time in front of reporters, especially Wang Xueqi, and the reporters shared some interesting things that happened when he was trained as an astronaut at the space agency.

At the same time, this also told reporters that "Gravity" is a movie that has won the endorsement and support of the Space Agency.

And Liu Yifei also responded to the so-called scandal.

I don't know how to do it, but recently a so-called "industry insider" broke the news on the Internet that she and Wu Yuan are in love.

To be honest, Wu Yuan and Liu Yifei's relationship did not deliberately hide from insiders.

But it's not so much that everyone knows about it, and it's basically known to some people who have a good relationship with them.

For example, Su Chang, Zhang Guorong, Chen Kun and other friends in the circle.

It stands to reason that they won't spread the word.

Fortunately, these rumors are only in words, at least they haven't been photographed with any intimate behavior, so it's easy to refute the rumors.

"I have a good personal relationship with Director Wu, he is my brother from the same school, and he also took me to play the first movie in my life."

"He's my idol and I adore him so much, but we don't have the relationships that the unscrupulous media write about."

"I hope that all media friends and netizens can look at these false rumors rationally."

When it comes to opening his eyes and talking nonsense, Liu Yifei is also a set of things.

And it's not nonsense, she really admires Wu Yuan, and she didn't say which rumors are "untrue news".

But the reporters nodded in agreement, and automatically clarified the relationship between the two in their hearts.

To be honest, this kind of lace news may be talked about by netizens, but most of the reporters in the circle don't believe it.

Unless there is a real hammer in the photo, otherwise an empty "industry revelation", their group of reporters can write a hundred identical ones a day.

In recent years, it has been a time when all kinds of messy paparazzi are flying in the sky.

Almost every popular star must have a lot of fabricated rumors.

"Revelations" such as Fan Xiaopang being played bad in the crew, Liu Yifei being transgender, Zhou Xun's private meeting financier, and Chen Kun's son's mother being Zhao Junqi are endless.

The source of many of these so-called "revelations" comes from a reporter who really has no news to write about, and pats his head and fabricates it out of thin air.

Everyone is in the press circle, and they know this.

Most reporters at the scene thought that "Wu Yuan and Liu Yifei's relationship" was come up with a peer patting his head.

It's not that they look down on Liu Yifei, but in their eyes, Wu Yuan's coffee position is really too high, the kind that the world eats, even if he falls in love with a certain female star, there is a high probability that it is just playing, how can he fall in love.

A director like him, who is young and has a high status, must have been in the midst of thousands of flowers, not touching the leaves, being a groom every night, beckoning all kinds of female stars to climb into his bed, from domestic entertainment to Haolaiwu, there is no shortage of hugs.

Haolaiwu's various lace tabloids have not been less scandalous about him.

Today it is said that Keira Knightley behaved intimately with him on the set, and tomorrow it is said that Anne Hathaway took the initiative to visit him in order to participate in his new movie.

He couldn't give up an entire forest for a single flower.

Even if this flower is the fairy sister Liu Yifei, it can't be.

At least when Wu Yuan is in his thirties, reporters will believe that he has really relented and plans to find a stable girlfriend.

Liu Yifei responded simply, and the reporters believed that the relationship rumors were untrue.

Compared with this kind of "fake" scandal, they care more about everything in the movie "Gravity".

The four "leading actors" were all caught asking all kinds of questions, and the reporters wanted to pry out some specific character backgrounds and story directions of "Gravity" from their mouths.

However, none of the four leading actors are the kind of people with big mouths, and they don't say anything about keeping secrets.

No matter how the reporters tried it, they all talked about him, except for revealing that he was playing an astronaut, there was no more meaningful information.

This makes all reporters hate itchy, but they can't help it.

During the half-hour interview, in addition to allowing them to take a lot of boot photos, the biggest gain was to know that this is a space disaster movie, a movie about space accidents.

In the end, today's start-up ceremony ended with all the crew members incense and red cloth.

The reporters left the scene in an orderly manner, and the crew began the filming of the first scene of the day.

is still the usual practice, and the first scene is shot with a simple one.

For "Gravity", the simplest scene is the scene at the beginning where astronauts perform repairs to telescopes outside the capsule.

Because the spacesuits, space station, and earth that should have been in this scene were all made of CG, in the actual shooting, only the actors needed to wear CG sampling costumes with "spots", fixed in a small range, and perform various non-physical performances.

There is no way, the crew really can't find a real "space telescope" to repair for the actors.

There is no way to restore the satellite debris that flew from afar.

The best way to do this is to use pure CG production, just compositing the actors' faces when the camera is on their faces.

This requires the actor to rely entirely on facial expressions to simulate a "space operation", which is obviously not an easy task.

Fortunately, the first scene was filmed first with Zhang Guorong and Liu Yifei.

Well, it's their opening scene, and it's also the finale.

The two unlucky guys just showed their faces, but they were hit by satellite debris and disappeared directly into space.

Wearing a specially customized CG sampling suit and a lot of facial capture sensors on their faces, Zhang Guorong and Liu Yifei began to shoot.

This kind of movie, which requires a lot of special effects, is actually very boring for actors.

But for Wu Yuan, the director, the difficulty is very high.

As soon as the camera was turned on, I thought that the shooting would be very smooth, but I immediately encountered a problem that Wu Yuan did not expect at all.

The lighting on the scene can't keep up with the shooting content!

In this scene, Zhang Guorong and Liu Yifei encountered satellite debris hitting the telescope, and then there was an explosion, these explosion waves pushed them directly into deep space, and then they were cut through the spacesuit by other debris and finally died.

But here's the problem.

When shooting indoors, the actors are exposed to normal white light, but then the actors' faces are composited into the feature film, where the characters are experiencing the explosion of a space telescope, and their faces should reflect the fire!

If the lighting is not right, it will look very weird in the later feature film, and it will immediately make the audience play.

Wu Yuan, who has always been striving for excellence, can't stand such an outrageous BUG.

But how do you solve this dilemma?

On the first day of start-up, Wu Yuan was worried.

The crew of "Gravity" also filmed for less than half an hour before it came to a standstill.

As you know, the heroine of "Those Years" will not have a kiss scene and take the route of pure love.

Why do I have the illusion that I want to arrange a kiss scene for Liu Yifei, how dare I do this.
