Chapter 533, A Different Blockbuster

The filming of the first part was divided into two parts.

One part is about the various lives of the people in the underground city.

Another one was shot in the snow and ice, where they transported the flint to the planetary engine.

Above the macro, below the micro.

The microscopic part is done by Stephen Chow's old crew, who all came from humble backgrounds and are good at finding joy in adversity, with a touch of humor and jubilation. They are responsible for the plot that unfolds in Suzhou and Hangzhou, and in the underground city of Beijing, revolving around the 'New Year' part.

Although, the New Year is coming.

But the Earth is also on the verge of destruction. Because the Roche limit is about to be reached, the gravity of Jupiter is pulling the Earth into this strange gaseous planet . The approaching Jupiter is so beautiful.

But it is also so majestic and terrifying.

Once the Earth collides with this gas planet, the final result will be a firework display in the universe.

At this time, Jiang He, the head of the special effects team, was also on the scene.

Not far from the underground city shooting set is the green screen, which is used to shoot special effects-related scenes. In most cases, the ground line of Eddie Peng and Wang Chuanjun requires a lot of special effects and props support.

They transported flint to the line of damaged planetary engines.

As the head of the special effects team, he is accustomed to the big scenes in Hollywood and knows the Hollywood shooting methods and the expressiveness of their actors.

Frankly speaking, there was only one time when the creative team was composed entirely of Chinese people, with only a small number of foreigners, and they had no status at all and existed purely as embellishments.

This is the first time.

Even in The Great Wall, a Sino-US co-production, many important positions were filled by Westerners with experience in Hollywood.

Chinese talents are just the embellishment.

After all, there is still some obvious industrial gap between the two sides in this regard.

This is also reflected in the actors.

Although Jiang He is a layman when it comes to acting, he knows what it takes to act in a Hollywood blockbuster.

Sense of belief.

Why is it that some people’s acting skills are so great when they shoot movies with real objects, while some people’s acting is so bad when they shoot special effects movies?

This is also a common phenomenon in the West.

No matter how gorgeous and dazzling you appear on the screen, to an actor, you are just a piece of canvas.

A green landscape.

In the eyes of the actors, it is unreal.

Not to mention anything else, at least it can reduce 30% of the actors' acting skills.

If it's for someone who has no experience in green screen shooting.

It's very difficult.

Jiang He thinks this is the first hurdle for "The Wandering Earth".

The actor's sense of belief, whether he can perform well under the green screen.

"Special effects blockbusters are different from other movies. Hollywood has a lot of things. The experience of a century-old industry cannot be described in just one or two sentences."

Right now.

Jiang He said.

There might be some worry in his words. After all, he was gambling with Li Yun this time.

It depends on what kind of results Li Yun can achieve.

The most optimistic estimate is that it would be a pretty good thing if we could make a name for ourselves and make domestic films and domestic special effects blockbusters no longer synonymous with jokes.

That's it.

From the beginning to the end, Jiang He didn't have such high hopes. He just hoped that his team would stop outsourcing and follow the list at the end of the crew's work.

This was what he expected. "Mr. Jiang, are you okay?" Liang Jiahui was just watching at this time. Jiang He looked so worried that he seemed to be suffering from depression.

"It's okay, it's an old illness. Just go home and take some medicine, it's not a big problem." Jiang He smiled slightly at this time, indicating that there was no need to worry.

However, there is still some anxiety.

after all.

I don't know if their sense of belief can support ordinary acting skills.

"Are you afraid that they don't have enough faith?" Liang Jiahui pointed out Jiang He's concerns at this time.

After all, his emotions were clearly shown on his face.

Jiang He did not deny this.

It's indeed a feeling of worry.

"Indeed, you should be worried too. After all, we have no experience and no past. In this kind of green screen filming, we have very little experience. Even though Li Yun built a lot of real scenes this time and increased the immersive realism, in fact, we will still have many scenes facing green screen."

"But one thing you don't understand, or maybe it's a little strange from our perspective, is that we have something they don't."

Jiang He was puzzled.

There is something.

Is it something that Hollywood and Western industries don't have? And something that China has?

Theoretically, there shouldn't be any.

some.

Think about it carefully.

There is one thing that the West absolutely does not have, but we Chinese have.

This thing is Li Yun.

We have Li Yun! The West doesn't. Jiang He didn't know what this meant yet, but soon he knew "cd171-11 rescue team."

"According to the provisions of Article 32, Paragraph 1 of the Wandering Earth Act, your vehicle and the people on board have been requisitioned."

"In order to save the cargo box, their driver unhooked the front of the train and sacrificed himself to save the carriage."

"What's so important about this?"

"Zhou Qian, check the status of the flint and make sure the cargo box is intact."

"Flint? Isn't that the ignition device of the planetary engine?"

Liu Qi and his men were conscripted.

Become a part of the rescue team.

During this period, Liu Peiqiang, who was far away in the space station, learned about this matter.

He became furious.

He wanted to use his position as colonel to put pressure on them, but they didn't buy it.

These three guys in exoskeletons.

They ignored any requests from Liu Peiqiang. Wearing heavy cold-proof clothing and exoskeletons, they traveled all the way to protect something called flint.

They guard.

They fought hard.

Even if I have to use blood and flesh to protect this thing in the end.

It doesn't matter. In order to maintain the temperature of the flint, two of the team members inserted their oxygen cylinders into the flint's protective device without hesitation and determination.

sacrifice.

Die.

Including the last Han Ziang, he also died here. No, it was a sacrifice.

Sacrificed to protect Flint.

Sacrificed to protect Han Duoduo.

"There was a big flood that day. I found Duoduo while participating in the rescue. Many hands held her in front of me. I don't know who her parents are, but I know they are Duoduo's parents..."

At this moment, I watched them immersed in the play.

As a bystander, Jiang He saw Li Yun and his directing style integrated into the work.

Just become one of them.

Lead them into this world.

To others, it may seem like a ridiculous and insane performance, as they perform to the empty air.

But you can seem to see it in his eyes.

They are truly immersed in this apocalyptic world.

And brought about this doomsday.

Li Yun.

"That's why I love acting with him." Liang Jiahui said enthusiastically: "He can really take us through to another world."

Jiang He found it incredible and even shocked.

This feeling.

They seem a little crazy.

But he seemed to enjoy it.

At this time, four people quietly mixed into the crew.

Although they had greeted each other in advance, they came quietly in order not to affect the filming progress inside, intending to take a look and leave.

It starts with Han Ziang’s sacrifice.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

They are here.

I also saw clearly Li Yun's directing style.

"What a crazy directing style. Has anyone directed like this before?" Liu Shanhe was a little shocked. It was also the first time he had seen this kind of directing style.

Let everyone go crazy together.

And then sink into the feeling.

Although I know that Li Yun's skills as an actor are miraculous and he can almost become any role he can understand, but like now, everyone is included in the world he perceives.

Such crazy acting.

Others might find it creepy.

But as an aspiring actor, I enjoy it.

To pursue this pleasure.

"So I say he is a genius, a genius who has never been seen before and will never be seen again. Do you see it now?" Lu Zhengguang said softly at this time: "With his amazing talent, you said he can lead us to keep Hollywood out of the country. It is possible, right?"

Li Modu, he was watching from a distance.

A complex and somewhat relieved expression . Alas. But he didn't say much.

"Not only is he talented as an actor, he is also talented as a director and screenwriter. He even came up with the idea of ​​transforming the entire Earth into a spaceship."

At this moment, Xie Qingya's eyes were shining brightly.

Judging from the initial impression of the subject matter itself, "The Wandering Earth" is more mature and straightforward than "The Three-Body Problem", although the artistic value of "The Three-Body Problem" has also been witnessed.

Then "The Wandering Earth" is more commercial and more straightforward. At least that's what the title says.

The current plot.

It looks very clear and bright.

There is a crisis on the spaceship Earth.

The protagonist and his group are the ones who save the crisis. It sounds a bit clichéd, but the protagonist was immature and afraid of death at the beginning. However, he was moved by the sacrifices of other members of the protagonist group, and finally turned the tide and brought the flint to the destination.

Then everyone is happy.

Then end it once.

After the movie ended, I had a bag of delicious popcorn and enjoyed the audio-visual experience.

That's it.

It's cliché, but useful and stable, plus the imaginative theme of using the earth as a spaceship and the special effects of the Industrial Light and Magic team, this is definitely a good commercial movie.

A movie with a strong Hollywood feel.

But even if it has a strong Hollywood flavor, so what? Learning from foreigners is the best way to defeat foreigners. Being able to imitate well is also a skill.

In other words, after seeing such a script, Liu Shanhe was actually certain of Li Yun's advantage.

Mature subject matter, good packaging, amazing acting, and an ability to immerse oneself in the story that no one can imitate.

Made up this work.

Maybe it really can.

Maybe it can really get a share of the Hollywood wave? At least if it is well made, the domestic box office should be well protected.

Liu Shanhe felt that.

It's quite safe.

It looks quite safe.

There will be no surprises, but at least there will be no shocks.

That's good.

But if he wants to challenge Cameron, he is still a little short of it, a lot short of it.

Liu Shanhe thinks that the most optimistic scenario, the most optimistic scenario, is that it can compete with Avengers 2: Battle of Ultron in terms of reputation, and it doesn't even have to compete at the box office.

"Let's take it one step at a time. With so many advantages combined, it would be nice to make a more balanced script." Liu Shanhe said slowly.

Is this really a safe script? Everyone believes it.

Anyone can believe it.

But Xie Qingya didn't believe it.

She didn't believe that Li Yun's script would be as smooth as the previous "The Three-Body Problem". She also thought so. Maybe under various circumstances, it would be within her expectations.

But in fact, "The Three-Body Problem" gave her a great shock.

It gave a great shock to the people of the world.

"The Wandering Earth". Will he be stable? The mission of transporting the flint failed.

On the way, the train stalled due to improper transportation. Zhou Qian, played by Li Bingbing, even played with flint and fired a gun to vent her anger. Captain Wang Lei was very angry.

But there is nothing we can do about it Here, the plot is all predictable.

Scientist Lao He was entrusted with the task at a critical moment and used his own strength to turn the tide when the company was about to collapse.

This should be the expected plot, however.

The following plot deviates.

It was also the first time that the crew, Liu Shan and the four others experienced such a shock within the script.

The Firestones did manage to deliver.

But Hangzhou was destroyed.

There is no point for the protagonists to come here.

Even the usually loyal captain was lost. They had come all the way here and sacrificed so many people, but in the end, only a burning ruin was left.

It turned out to be the previous distress signal.

It turned out that the distress signal that carried the hopes of 350,000 people did not arrive.

All that was left here was a sea of ​​fire, and the hopes of 350,000 people were shattered.

But the next protagonists are going to another place.

A place called Sulawesi, a steering engine above the equator. If the Hangzhou engine is destroyed, the lives and hopes of 350,000 people will be destroyed, but if the Sulawesi engine is destroyed, the hope of mankind will be destroyed.

Do you want to save the world with me? There is no other way to go, so let's go into the world and save everyone.

The second time.

I originally thought that the first failure was just a setback for growth, but I didn’t expect that the second failure would happen as well. The protagonists’ flints were not delivered to Sulawesi . Another failure.

Will the Earth be destroyed? No! Sulawesi successfully ignited fire Saturation rescue.

People from all over the place also came here.

One team succeeded.

It's not the protagonist and his group who save the earth.

But the scene design of this scene in front of me, these densely packed trucks.

The victory of saturation rescue.

Rather than the protagonist's victory.
