Entertainment World: The Wild God of Gourmet - Chapter 595 [Perhaps this is a genius]

The crew is located in Jiuquan, rented a large factory building and remodeled. The nearest star-rated hotel is also more than 20 kilometers away. It is very inconvenient to eat, wear, and live.

But the benefits of setting up the crew in Jiuquan cannot be brought about by the convenience of life.

In 1993, a great space movie "Apollo 13" showed a magical, extremely lifelike weightless shot on the screen, and it is still hailed as an unsurpassable classic by many fans.

How was it filmed at that time?

The shots in the capsule in "Apollo 13" were all done in the Nasa training device "vomit comet": it was a Boeing kc135, which took all the crew to high altitude and free. A falling body falls for a period of time. During that period of time, all objects and the environment in the cabin are relatively weightless, and a flight can obtain a weightless time of almost 25 seconds.

With the budget of Chen Ergou's crew, it is impossible to create such an environment.

The original production cost is claimed to be 150 million US dollars, even if it is exaggerated, it will not be less than 100 million. He has an online plug-in, and he has cut off the cost of special effects that burns the most money. Coupled with the shooting environment in China, the cost is greatly reduced. I thought that the budget cost of 50 million US dollars was good, but it seems that I am still a little nervous.

The backing of "Gravity" is not comparable to Nasa, but as the first domestic space film in cooperation with the National Space Administration, Jiuquan Space Center has given them far more support than Nasa has given to American movies.

Astronauts usually have similar capsules for training. Although there is not much time available for shooting, and it takes a lot of time to open them once, Chen Ergou also counts the days eagerly, and immediately goes in to take pictures when the capsule is free. Enough for this.

The opportunity is rare, and shooting on the spot is naturally reserved for the most difficult shots.

A long shot, 18 minutes, a long shot beyond imagination.

For this shot, the entire crew made the best use of talents, and a commissioner from the command center was invited to serve as a consultant. It’s really hard work, it’s already very difficult to create a zero-gravity scene, and it’s ten times more difficult to show a zero-gravity scene with a long lens.

I deal with the robotic arm every day. I use the iris robotic arm to operate all the camera pans. All the actors' action time points and the displacement of the camera's perspective are all accurately calculated and arranged. This is never before programmed. Length reached.

After this set of shots was taken, the entire crew could not help but cheer in unison.

Even Gilmour was amazed by it. In the face of the interview, he sighed with emotion: “To show the panorama, close-ups, and action scenes one after another in a continuous long shot, you have to find a plan to be able to It’s definitely the most difficult place to show various plots in a single shot at the same time. So it’s really very difficult to combine zero gravity and long shots."

"Cross-border self-direction and self-acting in different industries are not uncommon in Hollywood. Hero-chen is not like a new director at all. He seems to have a complete story replaying all the time! Even the editor is asking me , Have the resources sent over have been cut once, and even the extra shots are so few. This is the first time I have encountered this situation when I have been shooting a movie for such a long time...."

At the beginning, he mostly joined the crew for investment and "US Knife", but now he has more confidence in the film.

Of course there are also dissatisfactions.

Hollywood is a producer system, but Chen Ergou is too authoritarian. As the boss, director, screenwriter and starring role, Gilmour has to stand aside no matter how big the producer is, so that many opinions are not accepted.

However, the post-shooting also proved that Chen Ergou's opinions were not bad or even better.

All these can be tolerated. The only thing that can't be tolerated is, "Chen is a workaholic, which makes me uncomfortable... Can you imagine being pulled together by the director and negotiating for several hours in his room after finishing work every day? He basically only sleeps for three or four hours a day to get it done, but our production and director team is all going to accompany him crazy. imean, howcrazycanyouget?"

He is now a little worried about whether he can go home on holiday before Christmas?

When the 18-minute long shot was finally completed, it was like a graduation ceremony for the entire crew.

Chen Ergou also breathed a sigh of relief and admitted: "The rest of the film is not as difficult as this one. After this level is passed, it will be much easier later."

"These 18 minutes contain all the breakthroughs in the film’s technology: a robotic lens, a new lighting method, and a new rendering technology in the cg space. What it achieves is a real-time shooting perspective that moves arbitrarily, and the lighting of characters can be changed arbitrarily. And the grand and calm beauty of the universe."

When this long shot ended, it was declared: From now on, weightlessness and space will no longer be a problem in the movie screen.

It was getting colder, and Jiuquan was already cold as soon as December entered, and it was almost a winter snow.

However, the severe cold of winter did not stop the enthusiasm of nearby residents... It was about the first time that a crew came here to make a movie, and the onlookers wandered around the neighborhood without any problems. Even the local TV station came to join in the fun, even though they didn't even get in the door of the crew. ...It's not the so-called media confinement of a big-name director, it's really--

"Time is money, my friend."

With those millions of LED lights, it’s worth 100,000 U.S. dollars every day.

Li Shishi was slow to enter the state, and Chen Ergou was very true to his first film directed, often with a dozen adjustments per shot.

Time passed in repeated adjustments, and costs remained the same.

Every night after the settlement, I saw the producer Xia Meng, Miss Sister, couldn't help but want to go to battle in person.

But the progress of Li Shishi is also obvious. When Cai Yinong came to see the film last time, he suspected that he was dazzled, "This is still our teacher~!"

"Replace it like a fake!" Li Shishi looked complacent. At this moment, she felt that this time of hard work was totally worth it.

Meimou glanced at a certain dog who was staring at the monitor solemnly: There is a rumor in the circle that a good director can allow actors to enter the role more deeply. After performing a play, it is a sublimation of acting skills. Therefore, many actors like to follow big directors in filming.

She has also been filming for several years, so she can't say she doesn't work hard. To this day, the biggest gain is still watching the superficial performance of the camera...maybe a little self-deprecating, anyway, no audience praises her acting.

This time she filmed "Gravity", Chen Ergou didn't show any mercy at all~www.novelbuddy.com~ She also really learned a lot.

There are hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the crew, and all departments are full of cutting-edge talents, costumes, props, lighting, special effects...especially when it comes to technology. Maybe the domestic team is a little clever, but the gap is still visible to the naked eye when it is separated from the mature Hollywood industry.

It seems that Chen Ergou intends to cultivate his own team and mix and match the two teams. The Hollywood team did not cherish themselves. Certain situations that looked down on others were inevitable, but they were forced down by him, "I am in charge of my turf." Everyone listens to him, even Gilmour is no exception.

"Perhaps he is really a genius."

Shishi Li glanced sideways at Chen Ergou, who was seriously discussing with Gilmour, and picked up the script to carefully experience the next scene. The director carefully wrote various role guides with a red pen on it, which helped her a lot... Feeling her mouth was a little dull, she took a bite of snacks from her bag.
