What is the difference between Zhang Yimou, Wu Yuan, and Wang Jiawei?

This question did indeed ask Gong Li.

Gong Li should be the only actress in the mainland who has worked with these three big directors.

"How do you feel" Gong Li groaned and said slowly: "Director Zhang is more serious on the set, and he is a little too serious, his face is stiff, he looks very scary, and everyone dares not look at him." ”

"Director Wang, his directing method is very special, he is a very whimsical person, many times we have to guess his thoughts, making his movies is like guessing a riddle, and the acting is all up and down."

"Director Wu is the best person to get along with, although he will also get angry when the shooting does not go well, but most of the time in daily life is very kind, and the communication is also very clear, what to shoot, how to shoot, he will say it very clearly every time, and we also have a bottom in our hearts when we shoot."

"The directing styles of the three directors are completely different, if you want to say who is good and who is bad, there must be no standard, but I do like to work with Director Wu and Director Zhang."

To be reasonable, as long as you are an actor who has worked with Mo Jiawang once, you can't stand the shooting techniques of the king of sunglasses, and you play dumb riddles in the crew every day, and sometimes you don't even have a script, so you can watch the acting, and it's really tiring to shoot.

Gong Li is also apprehensive about cooperating with the King of Sunglasses, after filming "2042", she has no plans to make any more movies about the King of Sunglasses, and she speaks more directly.

Your Emperor Gong is infinitely rampant.

I just don't like working with the king of sunglasses, what's the matter?

Zhao Zhiyang, who thought that he could hear a piece of harmony from Gong Li's mouth and praised the remarks of the three directors, did not expect Gong Li to answer so truthfully.

The smile on her face was even brighter, "I see, it sounds like the personal styles of the three directors are all remarkable." ”

"Then Mr. Wang Xueqi, how did you feel about working with Director Wu for the first time?" She aimed at Wang Xueqi, who had been watching silently.

It's finally their turn.

Among the three people, whether it is fame or awards and honors, Wang Xueqi, who is at the bottom, coughed lightly and straightened his waist: "Of course it is very happy and honored." ”

"Director Wu is the pride of our Chinese directors, and Mr. Gong Li is also the international representative of our Chinese actors, and it is the most honorable thing for me to work with these two excellent directors and actors."

"Don't look at my age, but I started relatively late, and I have acted in fewer film and television works, and this time in "Gravity", I learned a lot of things."

"In particular, this kind of special effects blockbuster shooting method is a new experience for me, with a lot of green screens and motion capture suits, which are all seen and used for the first time."

"It's really a lot of knowledge."

At present, there are relatively few domestic movies that use a large number of special effects.

Generally, even if it is a movie made with special effects, it is all post-production special effects, and you only need to pull the green screen as the background, and then cut out the picture in the later stage.

For example, "Painted Skin", "Wuji", and earlier movies such as "Kung Fu" and "Shaolin Football" are like this.

However, there are very few such movies, an average of one or two a year, at least Wang Xueqi has never acted.

Not to mention the motion capture suits and facial motion capture technology that the mainland film industry has never even seen.

This thing has always been something that can only be accessed by Hollywood.

Needless to say, motion capture technology has been developed and matured in Hollywood in the nineties, and a large number of science fiction and fantasy movies will use it.

In contrast, facial motion capture technology is more novel and advanced, and it is the latest technology that has only begun to mature after 2000.

For example, 2001's "The Lord of the Rings 1" is an early movie that uses facial capture technology on a large scale, and the orcs and dwarf goblins in the movie are all made with facial motion capture technology and special effects.

The faces are all the faces of real actors, but the bodies are all synthesized with special effects.

The later "Matrix" series, as well as the elves in "Harry Potter", also used more mature face capture techniques.

Of course, what really makes this technology a success is next year's "Avatar", in which the Pandora people rely on motion capture equipment and face capture equipment to shoot.

Wu Yuan also came into contact with these two devices during the filming of the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series.

In the first part, the cursed Barbossa and his crew had to wear motraps to shoot when they turned into undead creatures, so that they could synthesize the skeletal body in later stage.

In the second part, the captain of the Flying Dutchman, David Jones, and his crew are all half-human, half-sea creatures, and they need to use not only motion capture equipment, but also facial capture equipment to do all kinds of facial modeling and expression processing.

For example, David Jones' octopus face.

It is also because of the cooperation of "Pirates of the Caribbean" that Wu Yuan can get in touch with this kind of motion capture and face capture team that specializes in working for the film industry, and can ask them to help during the filming of "Gravity".

At present, there is no such high-tech team in the mainland film industry.

For Wang Xueqi, who has never been in Haolaiwu and is not young, this kind of technology that does not exist in China is too novel.

The filming of "Gravity" will be remembered by him for a lifetime.

"It's really amazing." He was also full of praise and sighed: "Director Wu has introduced the most cutting-edge film shooting technology in Haolaiwu into China, and "Gravity" uses a lot of the most advanced special effects technology in Haolaiwu. ”

"This is something that no other director in China can do."

"I believe that with these advanced shooting techniques in the film, our film will bring an unparalleled visual enjoyment to audiences around the world."

"The movie "Gravity" is not only a movie in my heart, but also an epoch-making work that can lead the technological innovation of Chinese films!"

"I'm confident in that."

may be a bordered actor, saying such a thing is a bit too much.

But looking at Wang Xueqi's expression, he is really excited and happy that an advanced sci-fi blockbuster like "Gravity" can appear in Huaxia.

Wu Yuan also looked at him softly, bowed slightly to him, and everything was silent.

Comrade Wang Xueqi is a good comrade, and what he said is too pertinent.

Wu Yuan made this "Gravity", and he really didn't rush to make money.

Who wants to make money to make sci-fi blockbusters, isn't it good to make a comedy film that can sell billions of box office with an investment of tens of millions?

The reason why he insists on making a sci-fi blockbuster is that in addition to using a blockbuster to snipe Wu Baige, the most important thing is to give the domestic audience some film technology shock.

Now Hollywood's movies have developed into the 3D era, and next year's "Avatar" will sweep the world, ahead of an era.

However, the film industry in the mainland is still at the level of the United States in the seventies and eighties.

Yes, not even the nineties of the last century.

In the 90s, everyone could make special effects blockbusters like "Star Wars" and "The Mummy", but China is far from catching up.

Now if you don't give domestic fans and practitioners in the industry a dose of medicine, is it possible to achieve that after watching "Red Cliff" being scolded miserably, everyone will fully transform into a small and medium-cost comedy, and completely abandon the blockbuster strategy from top to bottom?

It's not that comedies are bad, but like Huaxia, after "Thai Embarrassment", the head of the film market for nearly a decade has been occupied by comedies, and there is no second place in the world several times.

Which film country relies on comedies to prop up its façade?

A lone branch is not beautiful, a hundred flowers bloom is spring!

Before the era of Chinese film comedy domination comes, we must give fans some sci-fi blockbuster shock, so that they know that Huaxia can also make a super blockbuster that is applauded and popular!

2020 is the first year of science fiction films, which is a little too late.

Wu Yuan can't afford to wait!

"Gravity is the first Chinese sci-fi blockbuster, but I believe it won't be the last."

He looked at the camera firmly: "This movie is just the first step in my sci-fi attempt, and I will continue to make more sci-fi movies in the future." ”

"If the engine is the flower of modern industry, then science fiction movies are the flower of modern film art!"

"We, the Chinese people, should also make our own voices in the global science fiction film market!"

"Start with Gravity!" (End of chapter)
