["Gravity" was suspended on the first day of production, and the first domestic sci-fi blockbuster was in a difficult situation! ] 】

[Stillborn? Suspend filming as soon as you start the film, Wu Yuan may encounter the biggest setback in his life? 】

[The difficult road of domestic sci-fi blockbusters is difficult to grasp even if the director of Hollywood comes to work! ] 】

The suspension of filming on the first day of "Gravity" can't be kept secret at all, so many reporters were at the Huairou Film and Television Base that day, although the start-up ceremony was over, but they were still squatting and waiting for the end of work to find a chance to interview.

As a result, I didn't expect the interview to wait, but I waited for a big melon.

"Gravity" was started only half a day ago, and the crew stopped working.

The reason for the shutdown is unknown, according to the official statement of the crew, it is a technical adjustment, but all kinds of speculation immediately became loud.

There are speculations that the set is not up to standard, there is speculation that the special effects are accidental, and there are also speculations that the actors and directors are not in harmony, and they shook their faces on the first day of filming.

Anyway, the news of the shutdown on the first day of production once again cast a shadow on this already questionable domestic sci-fi film.

On the Internet, there are many ridiculers.

Don't look at Wu Yuan is now the pride of Chinese directors, a great director of Hollywood, but in this era of rampant public knowledge, he is also the object of attention and criticism by public knowledge.

Wu Yuan made movies in Hollywood, and Internet celebrities praised him for his vision, knowing that Hollywood is the palace of the global film industry, and knowing that mainland movies were not saved, so he went to Hollywood to develop.

And as soon as he returned to China to make a movie, it was a depraved, uncompetitive, and humiliating behavior in the mouths of these public knowledge.

In these years, it is known that the air in North America is sweet, and if you can mix in North America, don't come back.

Like Wu Yuan, who has made achievements in North America and wants to return to China to pull up mainland movies, in their eyes, he is sick!

What other domestic sci-fi movies are going to be made?

I don't know if science fiction movies can only be made by a global lighthouse like Hollywood?

As soon as they heard that "Gravity" was shut down on the first day of production, the public on the Internet immediately went into a carnival and commented on the movie on their blogs.

There is one meaning in and out of the words, Wu Yuan is now lost and knows that it is too late to return, don't toss this impossible domestic sci-fi film, hurry back to Haolaiwu for development, Haolaiwu is the palace!

Returning to the dock as soon as possible and cooperating with outstanding American actors and the six major is the right way!

Wu Yuan ignored these negative and ridiculed public opinions on the Internet.

He just knows that these brain-dead people know that it is all an act of price dropping.

He only cares about one thing now, how to solve the problems of the crew at this stage.

It's still too young, and it's true that I haven't had any experience in making science fiction movies in my two lifetimes, and I do have to face too many unexpected difficulties when making science fiction movies in China.

With the crew's props team, photography team and set team, Wu Yuan held meetings for several days in a row, and even made a lot of transatlantic phone calls to learn from some top cameramen in Haolaiwu.

Even Wu Yuan cheekily called Spielberg and asked him if he had a suitable suggestion.

With the concerted efforts, he did point out a way for Wu Yuan.

Within half a month, Wu Yuan and the props team came up with a plan: LED light box plan.

The solution for this solution requires the construction of a container full of LEDs.

To put it simply, it is to make a six-meter-square light box, and create a virtual scene inside it, illuminating the face of the actor in it, matching the actor's subjective perspective.

Inside the LED light box, the CG environment spans the entire wall and ceiling, simulating the reflection of the Earth as well as the reflected light of the scene to illuminate the actors and provide a visual reference for the actors to make them feel like they are floating in space.

This unique solution allows the virtual ambient light to be used for compositing directly to illuminate the actor's face.

That is to say, the actors are in the light box, and the LED screens on all sides will show the space scene and light, so that the light on their faces can match the appearance in the movie script, and it will be easy to do post-production.

It can also help the two actors enter the play, making them feel a little immersive.

It's much easier than acting against green cloth on all sides.

For example, if you want to shoot a scene where a space telescope is hit by satellite debris and explodes, then the CG picture of this scene is directly played on the LED screen inside the light box.

In this way, when the protagonist is in the middle of it, the explosive fireworks projected by the LED screen will be reflected on his face, and the effect is full!

It's just that in order to do this, you have to let the special effects department first make this part of the CG special effects picture, fully render it, and then put it on the LED screen, and then the actors will shoot it.

Generally speaking, any special effects movie is shot with a green cloth first, and then post-special effects synthesis, and there has never been a special effects picture first, and then the actual shooting.

But when it comes to "Gravity", this first time is about to be created.

This is definitely a novelty for the Chinese film industry.

Hollywood's special effects technology has always led the world's trend, and directors from other countries around the world have learned how Hollywood uses computer special effects.

Now, Huaxia films have actually created a new way of shooting!

In Wu Yuan's concept, the crew first had to make some CG special effects shots, and then put the actors in a synthetic virtual environment, and then shoot the feature film!

Inadvertently, he actually touched the shooting technique of combining virtual and reality, which is too ahead of the times.

If you want to try this new method of shooting, you need to wait.

Making such a six-meter-long and wide LED light box is not only costly, but also takes time.

It will take at least a month and a half for the props team to make this thing.

Wu Yuan also had to temporarily change the shooting plan, and all the scenes on the exterior of space were scheduled to be filmed later, and the scenes in the interior of the space station were mainly filmed in the early stage.

In this way, all the other actors except Gong Li will not be used to start work for the time being, and Wu Yuan will have to revise the contract with them.

After all, the filming schedule in the contract signed by Wang Xueqi was originally from October to November, but now it may have to be changed to December to January, which needs to be coordinated.

Fortunately, Wang Xueqi has a very generous schedule this year, and people are easier to talk.

After revising the filming schedule of the actors, the crew of "Gravity", which had been suspended for half a month, restarted again.

It's just that this time it was restarted, and it didn't get a lot of attention.

Wu Yuan didn't care about these either, and in the two studios of Huairou Film and Television Base, he started Gong Li's one-man show shooting.

As the No. 1 actress in China and the No. 1 actress in literature and drama, it is definitely very easy to cooperate with Gong Li.

doesn't need him to talk about the play, Gong Li already has a deep understanding of the script.

The story of Gravity has a lot of depth and some philosophical implications.

For the heroine, her extraterrestrial journey is also a journey of spiritual redemption.

Fear is vividly reflected in this space movie, and this fear stems more from the loneliness generated by the vastness of space.

The fragments of satellites that can be killed at any moment are unpredictable dangers, space stations that suddenly catch fire, spaceships that have no power, spaceships that are hung by parachutes, and the heat that passes through the atmosphere.

Almost every two minutes, the film creates a threatening obstacle, and behind each obstacle is a life-threatening fear.

And Gong Li played this mentality of facing fear just right, not inferior to the original heroine Sandra Bullock.

Your Gonghuang is infinitely rampant!

In the case of real gravity, she played an astronaut in the weightless space station, facing various crises, still tirelessly insisting on life and the ardent pursuit of life.

Even if he knew that all this was fake and he was filming, Wu Yuan was still infected by Gong Li's performance.

A good actor is so infectious, she can make people still be moved and substituted by her perfect performance even though she knows that she is acting, and her heart fluctuates with her emotions!

"Sister Li, it's so good!" After another perfect one, Wu Yuan gave a thumbs up and couldn't help but praise.

Wearing a pair of tights and leggings, Gong Li, who outlined a good figure, smiled generously and accepted Wu Yuan's praise in full.

Of course she knows that she is acting well, she was born in a professional class, and she was fed by Zhang Yimou to an actor who was trained in a few plays, can she be worse?

At the same time, just when the filming of "Gravity" started smoothly, Zhang Guorong also left the set of "Gravity" and went back to shoot his new film.

He didn't have time to wait for the LED light box to be done in the crew of "Gravity".

With this time, "Good Guys, Bad Guys, Weird Guys" can shoot a third of it.

The preparation for this movie has basically been completed, because there is no need to do any special effects, so the main preparation for this movie is to choose a few suitable filming locations, and then make a steam train prop.

The schedules of the three leading actors have almost been adjusted, and they joined the group in early October.

Just after the filming of "Gravity" restarted, "Good Guys, Bad Guys, Weird Guys" was officially launched in Gansu.

And on the side of "Those Years", Li Yang, who got the script to study in detail and thoroughly studied the script, also started the actor audition for this movie.

In terms of actor selection, in addition to Liu Yifei, Wu Yuan handed over the arrangements for other roles to Li Yang, but at the same time arranged a producer to supervise him.

Superintendent what?

Of course, it was the supervision that he did not use his power for personal gain, and unfairly selected the right actors, but engaged in the set of arranging roles for private money.

Although Li Yang probably doesn't dare to do this kind of thing, but the heart of guarding against people is indispensable, and you can't put all your bets on the word "trust" when making investments, these two words are really not worth mentioning in the face of the temptation of money.

Under the watchful eye of the producer, he also auditioned calmly.

There is a new movie to be filmed in the era of light and shadow, and it is the script provided by Wu Yuan, and the news that it is his best youth romance film quickly spread in the circle.

Let's not mention how popular some directors in the circle are, Li Yang, the lucky person, can get Wu Yuan's favor and support, and he can actually get the script written by Wu Yuan.

Let's just say that the actors in the circle are called a group of emotions.

Although Li Yang, the director, is not well known, the only news that can be found is that he is one of the six lucky winners of the first phase of the Young Director Support Program in the Light and Shadow Era.

But since he can be valued by Wu Yuan, he naturally has his own merits.

And the script of this new movie was written by Wu Yuan, and this title alone is worth at least 20 million at the box office!

Don't look at the movies that have a box office of over 100 million every year, but there are only a few mainland actors who can really play this kind of movie.

Most mainland actors are still struggling with small and medium-budget films, and for them, movies produced in the era of light and shadow are definitely the best cakes.

Because in the era of light and shadow, Hong Kong and Taiwan actors are basically not used!

Compared with other Hong Kong and Taiwan co-productions, the films of Light and Shadow Era and Huayi are the best commercial films in the mainland, and they are also the easiest movies for mainland actors.

It's a pity that Huayi is now half used by Hong Kong and Taiwan stars, and half by mainland stars, and most of the mainland stars used are still their own signed artists.

The movies here in the era of light and shadow are different, and the movie actors they have not signed with themselves can compete fairly.

Li Yang released the news of the audition on the front foot, and the era of light and shadow on the back foot was crowded with mainland actors who came to audition, both men and women.

It's just that Li Yang is a little regretful that Hu Ge couldn't come to the audition, and he is still cultivating his body.

After Wu Yuan wanted to make Liu Yifei internal, Li Yang thought that it would be good if he could make up a trio of Hu Ge and Liu Yifei.

The two have acted in "Your Name", which is also a love movie with the theme of youth campus, and fans are also looking forward to them being together again.

Until now, the appeal for the sequel to "Your Name" has been loud, and the majority of netizens want to see the story of Luo Sanye and Lin Wenjie after their reunion.

Wu Yuan didn't mean to make a sequel, so Li Yang thought that it would be good to get the two together in "Those Years".

And Hu Ge's Li Xiaoyao in "Fairy Sword 1" is quite similar to Ke Jingteng's role setting in "Those Years", and he is naughty and a little naïve.

It's a pity that he had a car accident and couldn't take this movie.

Li Yang had no choice but to audition publicly to see if there were any other suitable candidates.

When he came to the Age of Light and Shadow, he was immediately startled by the battle in front of him.

Huang Xiaoming, Tong Dawei, Yin Xiaotian, and Nie Yuan, the four major students selected by the media, are all here.

Lu Yi, Ren Quan, Hu Bin and other older generation of students were also not absent.

is even better, Wang Baoqiang, Shi Xiaolong, Hao Shaowen, Xie Miao and other actors who are not suitable for youth films at all are also here.

and Luo Jin and Zhu Yawen, who have worked with Wu Yuan in the 02-level table class of "Your Name", are also not absent, they have the qualifications to star in "Your Name", the highest-grossing youth romance film in China, and they must come!

Looking at so many actors of all kinds and "all-inclusive" appearances in front of him, Li Yang's choice difficulty was immediately committed.

There are so many actors, who should you choose?

It's not that I'm making it up, this LED light box shooting method is the first thing that the crew of "Gravity" came up with and created, and it does work very well, reflecting in the movie, in the case of full CG shooting in outer space, the actor's face capture is very real, and when I watched it, I didn't expect it to be all CG.

This technique was theoretically possible in 2007, because LED and CG effects are not new, but no one has ever tried to combine them.
