Chapter 657 Trip to Qingdao
Speaking of the city of Qingdao, what is the first thing that comes to mind.

Do many people think of the phrase "drink beer and eat clams"?
The Tsingtao Beer Festival has not yet arrived, but the seafood and beer in Tsingtao really have a special taste.

Cheng Yu'an watched the pre-production special effects of "Along with the Gods" in the wonderful Qingdao studio. I have to say that the visual effects team has spent a lot of time, drawing materials from classical myths and folklore, incorporating some modern aesthetics, and the seven trial hells. The styles are very distinct, and the classic and modern are well integrated, giving people a refreshing feeling.

The crew of "Along with the Gods" will be the first to use the six ultra-high-spec 4K 3D IMAX cameras of "The Wandering Earth", vowing to maximize the visual effects of "Along with the Gods".

"Hurry up and decide on the role of Jiang Lin." The visual effects director Shen Yuan urged Cheng Yu'an to quickly decide on the role.

"I originally wanted to find Chen Kun for this role, but he didn't know what kind of trouble he had in the past two years. He was nagging, he didn't shoot every day, and he went to practice." Speaking of this role, he also had a headache.

A concept movie like "Walking with the Gods" must take the all-star route, but there are only a few that the Mesozoic can choose.

Even if the age is raised a few years, it is difficult to choose a well-known actor with acting skills who is suitable for the role of Jiang Lin.

Shen Yuan suggested: "Why don't you ask Xiao Ming if he has time."

Cheng Yu'an thought about it, and the image of Xiao Ming is suitable, but his Schrödinger acting skills are worrying.

Cheng Yu'an looked at Shen Yuan, and Shen Yuan explained: "After attending your wedding, he went back to his hometown in Qingdao to rest. He knows that we are preparing a new play here, so he often comes to see it."

"Okay, I'll ask him." In fact, Cheng Yu'an felt that he owed Xiao Ming a little bit. "Partner" was transferred by himself, and he missed the Golden Rooster Award, and his Best Actor lost because of this.

Dial Huang Xiaoming's phone number, and the other person answered it quickly.

"Are you at home?" Cheng Yu'an asked.

"I'm not in the capital." Huang Xiaoming replied.

"I know you're not in the capital, I mean you're at home in Qingdao."

"Well, how do you know?"

"I'm here in the Oriental Movie Metropolis. I'll give you an hour. If you can't make it, I'll give it to someone else."

"Brother," Huang Xiaoming stood up at home, "Don't go, I'll be right there. Oh, don't go."

"Hurry up, I have a lot of things to do." Cheng Yu'an smiled and hung up the phone.

Tiangong Yicai Qingdao Studio is now mainly working on two dramas, "Walking with the Gods" and "The Wandering Earth". Cheng Yu'an watched "Walking with the Gods" and then watched the preparations for "The Wandering Earth".

The world view of "The Wandering Earth" has been established, and some early visual effects shots have also begun to be made.

"This navigator space station is interesting." It's one thing to look at the design drawings, but another to see the renderings on the screen, but Cheng Yu'an still frowned, "In terms of the aesthetics of space movies, we really live in In Kubrick's shadow."

It may be caused by psychology. Cheng Yuan now looks at his navigator space station. In terms of aesthetic design and some mirroring, it is full of shadows from "2001: A Space Odyssey".

Shen Yuan also knew: "No way, after Kubrick, space science fiction only has "2001 A Space Odyssey" and others."

Although it can't get rid of the influence of the predecessors, but the production of commercial films should be regarded as a tribute to classics.

Cheng Yuan looked at the visual effects one by one, or made some comments, or discussed the production details with the special effects team.

After 40 minutes, 45 minutes to be exact, Huang Xiaoming and his agent walked into the gate of Tiangong Yicai Studio.

"I'm not late."

Cheng Yu'an looked at his watch, smiled and said, "I'll be gone if you're 10 minutes late." After speaking, he got up:
"Let's talk in the conference room."

There is nothing to say about the characters, the script of "Walking with the Gods" has long been obtained by insiders.

"What I'm worried about is that you won't be able to suppress Brother Hu and Nazha in terms of image." Brother Hu's make-up and hair will be rougher to highlight his warrior status, but even so, Brother Hu is still handsome, let alone Talk about Nazha's face.

"Will losing weight delay your wedding?"

"No." Huang Xiaoming said repeatedly, "A man, a suit is enough. You can wear it like this, whether you are fat or thin, others won't see anything."

It's not a girl, the makeup and hair have to change between fat and thin.

"What date is your wedding? I forgot."

"December 10."

"Number 8." Cheng Yu'an smiled and said, "Then I'm a sinner! "Walking with God" will start in October, and you'll get married on the 10th, so there's still time? Let's forget it, it's only once in a lifetime, I can't take you Time is up."

Huang Xiaoming knew he was joking: "When you know that you are a sinner, drink a few more glasses. I prepared a few bottles of good wine and we will drink alone." He knew that Cheng Yu'an was greedy.

"Stand up and let me see."

Hearing this, Huang Xiaoming stood up and showed Cheng Yu'an his image.

Cheng Yu'an thought for a while and asked, "How much do you weigh now?"

"132 pounds."

Cheng Yuan became cruel and decided to degas Huang Xiaoming in advance: "Is there any problem with losing 20 catties before starting the machine?"

Huang Xiaoming agreed without thinking: "Okay, I will lose weight to 110 before the wedding."

"Shen Yuan, take a set of Jiang Lin's clothes and let Xiao Ming change into them for me to see."

In the play, Jiang Lin is shown in a long coat, and he looks tall, handsome and graceful.

When Huang Xiaoming put on his clothes, Cheng Yu'an looked almost embarrassed: "Let's do this first, we'll try the makeup again after you lose weight."

After the makeup trial, Cheng Yu'an basically confirmed that Huang Xiaoming would play Jiang Lin, and then handed over the finalized script to Huang Xiaoming.

Coming out of the studio, Huang Xiaoming invited Cheng Yu'an to his house.

"I have to go back to the capital, there are a lot of things waiting for me." Cheng Yu'an declined.

…………

In order to stir up the market in mid-June and warm up for the summer holidays, the General Administration has taken great pains.

《末日崩塌》在2号，10号就是《侏罗纪世界》，18号《杀破狼2》，19号《分歧者2》。

"The Doomsday Collapse" has indeed played a warm-up role, with 3400 million domestic first daily reports, accounting for 32.7% of the film schedule.

It's a working Tuesday.

On the second day, the output was stable, and the income of 3400 million was maintained. Until Friday, the first wave of movie viewing climax was ushered in, and the income was 5000 million, and the income was 1.6 million in two days on the weekend.

The box office reached 3.4 million in the first week.

It is also because there are no blockbuster films that can threaten it in the same period.

On the other hand, Tian Tian did not go to North America to promote "Jurassic World", the role she played was not enough for her to go to North America as a film platform, and she just honestly filmed "The Great Wall" in China, but I heard that Lao Mouzi was tossed by her It's choking.

Cheng Yu'an went to visit the class, Lao Mouzi didn't know how to scold actors, but the people under him were very dissatisfied with Tian Tian's performance, and often complained about her in private.

As a reboot, "Jurassic World" is expected by dinosaur fans all over the world, but at the same time, they are also skeptical about the performance of the film after its release. The previous work was like that, which forced Universal to hide the entire series. Now it has changed the production team. , Can you still reproduce the glory of the big dinosaur?
