Since all the heavy scenes of "Pacific Rim" have been filmed, as long as the fight scenes are filmed again during this time, there will only be some literary dramas left.

The fight scene is estimated to be filmed in about ten days, and the fight scene of this special effects film is not very difficult, to say that the difficulty is to simulate the injury effect of the fight.

It's to be realistic, after all, monsters, if the injury effect is not realistic, then this will be greatly discounted, which will make the audience feel like they are watching a 'child playing' plastic feeling.

For example, if the mecha punches the monster in the face and knocks off half of the monster's jaw, how can this effect be reflected?

Then if you want the audience to enjoy watching it, you must anthropomorphize, such as the changes in the muscles of the monster with a punch, the changes in flesh and blood, the changes in bones, and the final effect, etc., you must repeatedly test the results of the fight during shooting.

This can't all rely on special effects, there is a good saying in the industry, called 'what can be solved in the early stage, must be solved in the early stage, so as to leave the greatest room for the later stage'.

Although it is a special effects movie, what can be done in the early stage must be done in the early stage.

In addition to the effects of these fights, there is also the frequent situation where the actors' vision is disorganized.

Because the monster is sometimes big and sometimes small, one will be compared with the real model, and the other will be a man in green hanging Weiya there to act as a monster, where is the actor looking at this time? Look at the little green man or look at it? If everyone's eyes are not aligned, it will give the audience a sense of confusion on the screen, and they will wonder, 'Are the monsters they see different?' ’

So why use the little green man and not directly replace it with a model?

After all, if you want to embody the flexibility of monsters and mechas, you must have a real person wearing green clothes to express their movements, and then use the capture system to transmit the data to the computer to generate, so that it is anthropomorphic and realistic.

In addition to the problems during filming, there will also be other interesting things in the crew. For example, after several months of cooperation between the staff of the two countries, now the conversation in the crew is mixed, and you will suddenly look at a foreigner shouting in English mixed with a few Chinese phrases:

"Stop, wrong, wrong."

"Hey, can you do it?"

"FK, you Habao."

"OK, you're hanging, you're the boss......"

You will also hear the Chinese crew shouting words mixed with English, such as:

"That's good, Ponfict."

"You are."

"Nice, that's what we're going to do."

……

That's why Jason was often heard yelling, "Gasp, sip, sip...... After eating, wash the feet. ”

These often sound like they can make people messy in the wind, and it's a drama.

However, people on both sides are now used to it.

This is also one of the few pleasures of the crew, the crew works so intensely, and the best thing the crew is at finding fun at work. For example, if it's funny, such as eating food together, like playing poker, or playing a game between the crew and the couple.

"Director He, are there any good action movie scripts? I found that there was a real lack of action scenes in the mainland. Wu Jing inadvertently talked about this during dinner that day.

"Action movies? Which? Martial arts? Or is it modern? He asked.

"Of course it's modern, there is no market for martial arts now." Wu Jing said.

"Modern? In modern times, you should go to Hong Kong to shoot, not in the mainland. ”

"Why?"

"What else? Why use violence to solve problems? The police can't handle it? Are there bad guys in the police? Are you sure you have evidence? If not, it is forcibly slandered. Even if there were, you wouldn't go to the police's superiors? Do we have gangsters? It is true that there are occasionally one or two underworld forces, but aren't they all defeated by the once-in-a-few crackdown? ”

The more Wu Jing listened, the more his face sank, and he understood what He Fang meant.

"Of course, there are other reasons. In film and television dramas, our police can't do nothing, since the police have to do something, what does it mean that you, an ordinary person, use violence to solve problems? What do you want to preach? ”

"We have some actual situations, and you can't say it's wrong, after all, it's also true. In reality, there is really no need for individuals to solve problems with violence, and we really don't have gangsters. You don't give birth to one for nothing, do you? Isn't this an arbitrary rumor-mongering? ”

"That's why I said that this kind of movie can only be made in Hong Kong, because except for a few countries in the world, there are no gangs, and this situation is true in other countries, and it's okay to shoot it."

"......" He Fang's words directly silenced Wu Jinggan.

It's no wonder that Chinese action movies are in decline, so what to do?

Seeing Wu Jing's dazed look, He Fang put down his chopsticks and took out a cigarette and lit one.

"Brother Jing, we don't have it, but we have it abroad. Have you watched "Hurricane Rescue"? We can also rescue by hurricane, there is nothing to do in China's good shopping, but when you go out to travel and have an accident, then do you want to rescue? ”

"For example, our peacekeepers, huh? For example, in recent years, our warships have gone out and encountered a pirate or something? For example, our Interpol cross-border investigation ......"

"I heard that Thailand is a world-famous organ transfer center, the Golden Triangle is drugs, India is human bones, the Philippines is gangsters, and South America is popular with human oil, then there are more in Europe, and there are no perverts on the dark web? Mercenaries in the Middle East, ore grabbing in Africa, needless to say in the United States, gangsters and cults are all legal. ”

"There are too many stories like this, we have to look at the world, and now we are also an international power, so we have a higher vision."

"Why bother with fighting the underworld forces at home? There's really no one in the country, you can't make one out of thin air, right? That's a real violation. ”

After He Fang finished speaking, he took a long puff of cigarette, then picked up a cola and took a sip.

Wu Jing nodded, "Yes, you're right, I heard that you have a screenwriting team, help me make a book like this." ”

"You can go directly to them, we don't restrict the screenwriter to follow the company's arrangement. There will be jobs in the company, but it depends on whether they are willing to take them, and if they feel that the work of the company is meaningless, they can take on the work outside. After all, we only take a commission from their income, and as for where the income comes from, as long as it is legal and compliant, we don't care about the rest. ”

He Fang raised his eyebrows.

"Ha, I really want to join your company too."

"That's not good, we are not professional in brokerage business, and we don't have an agent to help them package and live. Therefore, it is not suitable to sign outside actors. ”

"Look at you in such a hurry, as if I'm afraid that I will benefit from going to your company. Haha......"

……

Just shoot and shoot every day, He Fang gradually lost much interest in the two Hollywood female stars, mainly because she was old and her flesh was loose, her skin was dry, and she had a lot of freckles, which was not interesting.

Of course, in addition to filming, there will also be a group of visiting classes from time to time to study.

Some of them made an appointment with He Fang, some were friends of the crew staff, some were friends of the actors, and some were inspection teams brought by the leaders of the group......

There is an advantage when you come, that is, you have to pay money to buy some gifts for the crew.

There are more drinks and hot coffee, as well as fruits.

This made the American team very happy, and it was really interesting to have something to eat and drink from others every day.

In addition to these things, there is another very important thing, that is, "Invasion of Wall Street" will be released on December 29, and a film will be announced.

The previous global announcement of 10 million with Fox Searchlight did not include China. China's propaganda and distribution is to be carried out by itself.

Tuanhuo Company calculated that the publicity and distribution cost in China was only 15 million yuan, and it only needed to get the materials out, then put on a few programs, accept a few interviews, and then have a premiere That's almost it.

He Fang's name is here, plus Fan Bingbing and Jason Statham.

Therefore, after the publicity and distribution plan is determined, some activities will be arranged from December, and he will also have to participate.

As for whether to hold a premiere in the United States? Forget it, what kind of premiere is there for the publicity and distribution of only 10 million US dollars, just go straight to it, just do one in China.

As a result, after December 1, fans around the world who care about movies found that there was a trailer for "Invasion of Wall Street" on various promotional channels.

"Wow, is this the movie He Fang made in Hollywood with Fan Bingbing in June this year? Finally on it? ”

"Tsk, look at this trailer, there are a lot of Fan Bingbing's scenes, not soy sauce."

"It's cool to make movies abroad, and if you don't agree with a word, you will go up with a gun and do it."

"This is the story of the assassination of a Wall Street banker?"

"What's this? In the United States, you are the assassination of the big boss in a movie. ”

"Hurry up and release it, do you want to be on the 29th?"

"He Fang's pure commercial films are not bad, and the quality assurance of two films in a row is ah."

"Is this an imported film or a co-production? Why can it be released in December? ”

“…… This place seems to have appeared overnight, it's amazing. ”

……

On December 6th, He Fang went to the capital alone, he was going to attend the premiere of "Let the Bullets Fly", he had watched this movie many times, and there were endless praises.

He thinks that "Let the Bullets Fly" should be listed as an excellent film in both commercial and artistic China, and in this film you can see the criticism, black humor, satire, camera movement, white space, use of symbols, use of color, and music in art films......

It can also allow the audience to see the scenes of commercial films, big stars, clear story logic and other elements in the cinema, which can make the audience enjoy watching and understand.

If you want a star, you want a big production, you want to have a big production, you want to show the shots, and you want to be funny......

Looking at the history of Chinese films, how many films can do this? Not to mention that there are very few people in China who can do this in the world.

The one who can come up with it may be Guy Ritchie, but Guy Ritchie's movies seem to be much worse in terms of picture beauty and narrative grandeur, not as beautiful as Jiang Wen's pictures, and no Jiang Wen's movie stands at a higher height.

However, Guy Ritchie is more cerebral and spiritual in terms of narrative skills, which is to make the audience feel unexpected, but very reasonable.

Alas, it's a pity that Jiang Wen's achievements are not up or down, compared with Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige, there are fewer awards, and compared with Feng Xiaogang, the box office is worse.

Therefore, people, you must go to the dark on a road, so that you may be able to achieve something, and if you are always swaying from side to side, maybe it will be difficult.

It's not where anyone is, he's a traverser, can this be compared?

Last time, it was Chen Hong who came to the airport to pick him up in "Zhao's Orphan", and this time it was Ma Ke who came to pick him up at the airport in "Let the Bullets Fly", both of whom were producers.

"Mr. Ma, why are you here? It's so high, how many glasses of wine do I have to drink to bear it? He Fang and Ma Ke hugged warmly.

"Haha, what you don't know is how many glasses of wine I drank to grab this job to pick you up, Teacher Jiang Wen has always said that he wants to come in person, how can I let him come when I say such a high-faced thing, then he has to be higher?"

As soon as he said this, He Fang suddenly admired in his heart, this is a producer with super high emotional intelligence.

is also, being a producer next to a short-tempered person like Jiang Wen has no emotional intelligence and can't really catch it.

"Ouch, you can't praise me like this, I'm young, immature, and will float."

"Then you stabilize first, now it's floating, how do you drink the wine at night? After drinking wine in the evening, this is what Mr. Jiang Wen said, I want to have a good drink with you tonight. ”

When I went to the premiere site, it was almost two o'clock in the afternoon.

Jiang Wen, Li Yabo and Yang Shoucheng welcomed him there, and after the last welcome, He Fang seemed to recognize his status a little.

"Teacher Jiang Wen, hello, meet again."

"Ha, did Marco tell you? Drink wine tonight. Jiang Wen hugged He Fang very warmly.

"That's it, but I have to go back to the crew to film tomorrow, I can't get drunk, right?"

"Haha, okay, how drunk are you then?"

"Just get drunk for two." He Fang stretched out two fingers.

"Two points? Aren't you afraid? Why do you have to get nine points drunk, right? Nine drunk drunk, how can it be called drinking without nine points? Jiang Wen waved his hand.

"Nine points of drunkenness, then you will be unconscious, in case you get drunk and sleep with a female star, you don't enjoy it and there is a scandal, thanks to it." He shook his head.

"Haha...... Rest assured, there are only men and no women tonight. Moreover, the men tonight are not good men, I will guarantee you this, brother. Jiang Wen patted his chest and reassured.

"Then five points drunk?" He asked tentatively.

"Hey, how can a big man be so unruly, eight points drunk, it's so decided. Brothers, did you hear that? Director He is eight points drunk tonight, one more point is not good, and one point less is not good. Jiang Wen shouted.

"Listen to Big Brother." The people behind shouted in unison.

"Hey, Director He, how many catties of alcohol do you have? We also know how many pounds and taels eight points are. Ge You leaned over and asked.

"Master, how many catties do you say is appropriate?" He asked.

"Tsk, Director He is not suitable, how can I set the amount of these catties? I said ten pounds, can that be done? Ge You waved his hand.

"Or, by your amount? If you drink one catty, I will be eight taels, and if you drink two catties, I will be six taels per catty. What do you think? ”

"Okay, this is good, I agree to this. Haha, Director He, your eight-point iron is going to get drunk tonight, Mr. Ge You's alcohol is not calculated by catty, but by bottle, three bottles are the base, and five bottles are small, haha......"

“……”

"Haha......"

After everyone made a fuss for a while, He Fang met and greeted the others one by one.

It's all a bunch of hot-blooded men with soaring hormones, which is quite interesting.

Next, He Fang was led to put on makeup, after all, walking on the red carpet is more or less formal.

He Fang didn't have an assistant, so he didn't bring any dresses, but the filmmakers were very thoughtful and prepared.
