Of course, Sun Yi didn't know anything about domestic affairs.

First of all, Huayi has not officially launched yet, and secondly, he doesn't know that there are photos leaked out of the party.

I thought that on the American side, no one knew him at all.

Of course, I don't know it, but I can't help but have a thing called the Internet.

As for Liu Yifei's side, although she generally knows that because she participated in "The King of Kung Fu", she still has a little talk to Huayi.

But Liu's mother didn't make it clear to her at that time in order to protect her, and even when she came to the United States this time, she didn't come with her because she wanted to negotiate with Huayi.

Coupled with her brokerage affairs, she basically did what her mother asked her to do, so she didn't think much about it.

The two are like heartless little couples, and they leisurely live a cohabitation life in school.

Every morning, Liu Yifei got up early, made breakfast for Sun Yi, and then after the two ate together, they went out at the same time.

Sun Yi's exchange meeting was relatively late, so he usually sent Liu Yifei to the film academy first, and then went to the exchange meeting by himself.

Now Sun Yi can't keep a low profile, when they communicate with each other, everyone doesn't let him go at all, and every time they ask him to participate in the discussion, he doesn't say it, and he doesn't say it.

I can't wait to end it early every day so that I can pick up my girlfriend from class.

During the lunch break, the two of them could also find a place to have a sweet lunch together, and they made a plan, starting from the first store on the commercial street, no matter what they were, they ate it one by one to see if they could finish it.

In the evening, it was time for Sun Yi to show his skills, shopping for vegetables and cooking.

In his previous life, Sun Yi was not left behind, although they were all home-cooked dishes, Liu Yifei still praised them.

When dinner arrived, she sat obediently at the dinner table like a pig entering the trough, waiting for her brother to feed her.

After the meal, the two of them usually take a walk, stroll for a while, and then return to the villa.

Sun Yi began to take Liu Yifei to analyze the characters, and at the same time brushed various movies, suspenseful, sci-fi, while comparing the performance of the actors in the movie, while letting her imitate it, and taking her to hone her acting skills little by little.

Although there are some suspicions of talking on paper, she can't stand her low foundation, so after a few days, the progress made is also visible to the naked eye, and the results are very gratifying.

For Sun Yi's new movie, she almost meets the requirements, after all, this is a purely commercial film, and the requirements for acting skills are not so profound.

Next.

Here, Liu Yifei is still taking her acting class, and Sun Yi's exchange meeting has begun to go out to visit.

It's to see the whole process of filming a Hollywood movie in person.

This exchange meeting may be sponsored by Weinstein Pictures, which is really not false at all, that is, the whole process of visiting, a week.

From the selection of the script in the early stage, the preparation of the project, to the construction of the scene in the middle stage, the actual shooting, and the final post-production of the film.

Although there is no in-depth, there is no opportunity to actually do it, and the time of each visit is not long, but the Hollywood movie model still brings Sun Yi a considerable shock.

In the previous life, it was said that domestic movies were rubbish, no, Wumao special effects, not as good as Hollywood blockbusters, but no one has ever analyzed these reasons for what is not comparable.

Even if it is mentioned, it is often the industrialization of the film that cannot be compared, and the special effects technology cannot be compared.

But is the reason really that simple?

As far as Sun Yi saw during his visit.

It's really not that he wants to increase the morale of outsiders and destroy his own prestige.

Objectively speaking, the gap is too big, this is not a so-called industrialization and technology can not be compared, from the system, to the process, to the concept, are a big step behind.

First of all, the system, China has always been a "director-centered system", not that this system is bad, on the contrary, under this system, it is easy to urge masters, just like the fifth generation of directors who won awards in the world in those years.

But this system also has limitations, that is, the times are developing, and once the director can't keep up with the times, then the film industry will inevitably jump.

Hollywood, on the other hand, is a "producer-centric system", which is a kind of scientific co-ordination, which concentrates the core control of the project in the hands of the producer, comprehensively runs through the marketing strategy and teamwork principle in the production process of the film, and maximizes the value of the film through rigorous research and scientific production process, especially suitable for commercial films.

Such a system is not without disadvantages, because the producer will ruthlessly kill the director's "flash of inspiration" for the sake of the integrity of the project, so that the film is lacking in art and soul.

The two systems have their own advantages and disadvantages, but since Huaxia films have started to be commercialized, the "producer-centric system" is obviously more suitable in comparison.

Although Sun Yi is also a director, he obviously admires the Hollywood model more, and not everyone is a reborn like him.

In Hollywood's film system, from directing, photography, art production and special effects is a complete integrated production system that can form a closed loop and integrates industrialization and professionalism.

As for Huaxia, he has a deep understanding that it is director-centered, sporadic, and the director takes the lead, communicating with photography, art, and special effects one by one, so that it can maximize the director's will.

But the director is also a human being, and it is inevitable that there will be times when he makes mistakes, and this situation is a great test of the director's personal ability, and the result is that the awesome is really awesome, and the garbage is really rubbish.

To put it bluntly, Hollywood controls a lower limit, and Huaxia is free to play, looking up and down to see the situation.

After the system is finished, let's talk about the shooting process.

The specific steps are actually very similar to the two films, both of which are preparation, shooting, post-production, and final release.

But the level of granularity of the steps is very different.

For example, pre-preparation.

When it comes to scripts alone, Hollywood has a special agency for selecting scripts, and the first step is to count the number of pages.

There are standards for how many pages of a script, and more than how many pages will be passed directly, because too long a script means that the film is also long, and there are not many directors who can control the rhythm well.

Then choose a good story from these qualified scripts, Hollywood has statistics on the audience's heart, which points the audience likes and which ones don't like. A good story has to have these points and factors.

When the script is decided, I will go to the director and actors.

There are also criteria for finding a director, and you will look at the box office of the films you have made in the past three years.

Wait until the directors are all selected, and then finalize the actors. But at this time, the money will not be given to you, but half of it. There is also a special agency for this. Wait until the film is finished before paying your other half. In the early stage, the actors didn't get money, and the later half included their salaries. Therefore, no matter how big the stars in Hollywood are, they will act seriously in a proper manner, unless they are the kind of people who really don't care about money.

There is a little bad thing about our side, in order to attract celebrities, the money is often given first, and no matter how bad it is, it is given more than half, and then the big names become uncles as soon as they get the money.

The whole crew has to coax and supply, of course, the vast majority of the actors are still good, and no matter how big the name is, they will not mess around. But those new traffic players are not good, they have not suffered hardship, and the media fans will go to heaven as soon as they hold it, and the one who plays the big name is called a peace of mind.

No wonder Mr. Chen Daoming commented, "When an actor suffers is also worthy of praise, this is what you do." ”

Finally, the idea of the film.

Hollywood has strict standards for all aspects of the movie.

Each link is meticulous and orderly, equipped with a mature operation system and supervision system.

And Huaxia is currently a little worse.

It's like the difference between workshop production and industrial production.

Hollywood is like a bunch of modeled cars built by a family car production line, with high efficiency and high production capacity, although they all look similar, and they are tired of seeing too much, but as a car, they are absolutely practical, usable, and easy to use.

But Huaxia here is like a pure handmade, today there is a group of eighth-level fitters, that's good, I can rub a Rolls-Royce for you, and tomorrow I will go to a group of apprentices, and I can't get it compared to a tractor.

There are also standards for the production of props and the construction of scenes.

This thing, you really can't accept it.

For example, all kinds of armor, swords, axes and shields, and daily utensils in "The Lord of the Rings".

Weta Studio produced a total of 48,000 pieces of armor, 500 bows, and 10,000 arrows.

They also made a large number of prostheses, such as 1,800 pairs of hobbit legs, a large number of ears, noses, and heads for actors, and knitted nearly 19,000 costumes.

Each prop was specially designed by the art team, and many props were also made into two versions, one large and one small, considering the need to adapt to different proportions of the scene.

What about our side, damn it, costumes and props, like family heirlooms, this crew is done, and the other one will be used.

Not to mention the technology, let's just talk about a dynamic capture system.

It's almost rotten on the street here, and it is estimated that there are still directors in China who don't know about this thing.

Not to mention that it's only 08 years now, and when Sun Yi visited, he found that they had begun to develop the Previs rehearsal system.

At first, Sun Yi didn't understand what it was, but when the staff explained, he understood.

Before the film starts, the shots to be shot are made with 3D animation, showing the actors' movements, scenes, camera angles, camera movements and other scene scheduling, for the director to guide the shooting during the actual shooting.

Someone said, isn't this just a fool's operation?

Don't think this thing is useless, you know, the biggest expense of the movie is the uncertainty of shooting, often because of the inappropriateness of a shot, a lot of time is wasted on the scene to readjust, and a link is delayed, the whole process is messed up, and the time cost soars.

You must know that the cost of a crew of 100 people eating, drinking, and lazing, as well as the actors' schedules and venue equipment, is millions a day.

At that time, if Sister Yu's "Love Has an Afterlife" hadn't been for Sun Yi's help, her entire production cost would have to be added by 10 million.

And with this rehearsal system, basically, before the filming period, what the film is like and how to shoot it is clear at a glance, which greatly saves time, after all, the preliminary preparation only needs the director and a few staff members to drink tea in the office, which greatly saves expenses.

Comparing the special effects, needless to say, everyone knows it.

In short, this week's visit made Sun Yi really shocked and felt that it was worth the money.

He also found the future development direction of Star Image, not to mention other companies, he can't control it at present, at least his own starry sky, he is ready to develop according to the Hollywood model.

Therefore, he also made up his mind that through the filming of this movie, he must learn and master the whole process and even the technology on the Hollywood side.

Then according to the actual situation of Huaxia, make adjustments, build the starry sky into a benchmark, accelerate the commercialization process of Huaxia films, lead the trend of the future Huaxia film industry, change the situation of those garbage and bad movies flying all over the sky in later generations, and even shoulder the important task of promoting Chinese culture in the future.

Once reborn, if you don't do something earth-shattering, you're still called a reborn.

But at present, this is still Sun Yi's wishful thinking, can the Yankees let him learn it so easily?

Today these will strive for 3 more tomorrow if time is abundant.

Ask for recommendations, ask for monthly passes, ask for subscriptions.

Thanks!
