Seclusion in the Entertainment Industry

Despite all kinds of criticism and ridicule from the outside world, "The Wandering Earth" officially entered the filming stage after holding the opening ceremony.

As a director, Dong Guofan has long memorized the filming process of the script. Which shots should be shot first, which shots should be shot later, where blue screens need to be prepared in advance to facilitate post-processing, and where special effects production needs to be taken into consideration first.

Dong Guofan knew everything well.

At the Donghai Film and Television Base, Beidou Entertainment and the Film and Television City worked together to build a future city base specifically for science fiction film shooting. Many science fiction special effects scenes can be simulated here.

Mike and James also put a lot of effort into this process. They relied on the advanced technology they had in hand and combined with the actual situation of the "Wandering Earth" crew to come up with the best special effects scene construction plan.

Some places need to use special props to build scenes, such as the dungeons involved in the film, those huge planetary engines, etc., which are all built with physical simulations. Although this will consume more manpower and material resources, the filmed The picture will also be more textured and more realistic.

There are still many shots that cannot be modeled, so they can only be produced by special effects companies. Mike and James' new company, with the help of Beidou Entertainment, has been initially established, and now it is finally slowly investing in it. use.

During this period, Wu Hengjiang has been busy adjusting and scheduling work. He needs to handle many special cooperation contacts, and he has also won support from the upper levels for many relevant policies, which made the filming of the movie smoother. Some.

Tian Ming and Chen Feng, on the other hand, worked with Dong Guofan on the set to monitor some specific shooting details. Sometimes, there would be problems such as inappropriate props and incomplete plot shots. These required Tian Ming and Chen Feng to help Dong Guofan revise and redo the scenes. Set.

In short, everyone performs their duties, and the work of the entire crew is on the right track.

Of course, it is not easy for the actors, especially when filming the outdoor scenes of interstellar wandering. They need to wear very heavy space suits and perform various standard actions, which is difficult for young actors.

Wu Hengjiang even rented a professional coach directly from the space agency to focus on training the actors' movement specifications.

Among them, the most uncomfortable one is probably the heroine Faye Zhao.

She originally had a poor sense of balance and a habit of motion sickness.

However, her scenes include many scenes in the car, and they are usually violently shaken.

Therefore, it didn't take long for Faye Zhao to start vomiting frequently.

It was so uncomfortable, my stomach was churning, I was dizzy, it was really hard.

However, she was also strong. Although she was very uncomfortable, she persisted. Even the male protagonist Liu Qi next to her was full of respect for her.

"Sister Fei'er, are you okay? Why don't you go talk to the coach and rest for a while..." Liu Qi asked with concern.

Faye Zhao shook her head with a pale face.

"I'm fine. I'll be fine soon. Don't worry, let's continue training!"

Soon, Fei'er Zhao returned to normal and continued to train with everyone.

…

The same situation also happened to Chen Hui.

Chen Hui's character has a lot of scenes in a space station, which is a state of weightlessness and requires higher standards for actors, so training is also very hard.

Because there is currently no condition to simulate real weightlessness, many of Chen Hui's actions require the use of wires.

But many of the back-and-forth flipping movements are difficult to film or perform.

To this end, Dong Guofan, Tian Ming, Chen Feng, photographers, prop masters and trainers made various attempts and worked hard to find some ways to reduce the flipping.

For example, the space environment is made into a simulated prop that can rotate freely, and then the actor is hung inside, and the surrounding environment is rotated, so the actor hardly needs to do too many flipping movements.

This greatly reduces the action requirements for actors, but at the same time, the cost of props also increases a lot.

However, the effect of shooting this way is not bad.

In the end, after some negotiation, for the sake of the shooting effect and to protect the safety of the actors, Chen Hui adopted this new method developed by everyone for a large number of weightless shots.

As for the increase in costs, Chen Feng finally said calmly: "It doesn't matter, just shoot like this for now. When the money is not enough, I will have a way."

In the near future, the box office share of "Infernal Affairs" will be received, and funds will definitely not be a problem by then.

In short, that's it now, everyone is working hard together to make "The Wandering Earth" a success.

When problems arise, they are solved. No matter how difficult it is, it cannot stop the determination of the crew at this time.

…

However, despite this, the filming progress of "The Wandering Earth" was still very slow, even taking nearly twice as long.

On the one hand, it was the first time for everyone to shoot such a science fiction blockbuster. Although everyone was mentally prepared, problems still emerged one after another, which was very troublesome to solve.

In addition, the shooting of science fiction films sometimes requires a lot of scenes for special effects and post-production services, which greatly reduces the efficiency of the crew. However, there is no good solution for this kind of thing, so everyone can only hold on.

However, fortunately, the male and female protagonists of the film are all young actors, and there are no other schedules except "The Wandering Earth". The length of the filming time has no impact on them.

Chen Hui's habit is to only focus on one thing. After taking the role of "The Wandering Earth", he did not arrange other work, but devoted himself wholeheartedly to the crew. In this regard, Wu Hengjiang, Chen Feng and others all expressed their gratitude.

As for other important supporting roles or extra actors, most of these people are employees of Beidou Entertainment, so they are very convenient to schedule.

Therefore, although the filming progress of this film is really slow at present, there is no big problem.

It is better to work slowly and carefully and polish this film than to rush into a big bad movie.

Just as everyone was devoting themselves wholeheartedly to the filming of "Traffic Earth", the film market also made some waves again.

A foreign blockbuster film from Haolaiwu, distributed by Rongxing Media, will hit the Chinese film market again.

Although the current schedule is initially set for April, related publicity and promotion have begun to come overwhelmingly.

According to the trailer, this is a monster movie with many big scenes, and it is also a commercial masterpiece produced by Haolaiwu!

Moreover, the editing technique of the trailer released now is very stupid. The terrifying monster only appears briefly in a few fake shots, and does not show the full picture.

This is very appetizing.

Therefore, many people are looking forward to this film!
