This director is very reliable

Chapter 727 Technology is just a carrier (24)

Shen Changlin is ready to return home...

To promote "The Emancipator 2", Jackie Chan had to stay and promote for about a week before returning to China.

By the way, in fact, during the Cannes Film Festival, Jackie Chan had already attended the promotional activities of "The Emancipator 2". At that time, Shen Changlin was filming "Ghosts" and did not go there.

The film "Burning" was mainly participated in the Venice Film Festival - it was only finished in April, and there was really not enough time!

Shen Changlin will definitely go to Venice this year. The three films "Burning", "La La Land" and "A Man Called Ove Decided to Die" were all shortlisted for the main competition in Venice, and it was extremely lively...

Pulling back, Shen Changlin asked Yang Xiaomi: "Have you ever dealt with Brother Jackie Chan?"

Yang Xiaomi nodded: "Of course, "Fatal Countdown" is the work produced by him, so I starred in it!"

"What is "Fatal Countdown"?"

I always hear about this, but Shen Changlin really doesn't know what movie "Fatal Countdown" is...

"It tells the story of a single mother Xia Tian who keeps returning to the past 1 hour and 50 minutes in order to save her son who was kidnapped by Cui Hu...It cites the concept of time travel, which can be regarded as a sci-fi type..."

Shen Changlin already knew which work "Fatal Countdown" was when he heard the name Xia Tian—Yuan Shikong, he is familiar with all the works of his idol, except "Mrs. Let's see the girl mother play a girl again!

Isn't "Fatal Countdown" the same as "Rescue Against Time"...

Yang Xiaomi said one thing: "I have filmed commercials with Jackie Chan since I was in high school!"

"I'm going? Really?"

"It's an ad for a motorcycle..."

"What motorcycle?"

"I don't remember...I filmed a lot of commercials at that time, and I even filmed commercials with Zhou Jielun!"

It is said that he was filming commercials with Jackie Chan. Before the official shooting, in order to liven up the atmosphere of the scene, he asked Yang Xiaomi: "People say that I have a big nose. If I put it on your face, what will it look like?"

I don't want Yang Xiaomi to blurt out: "Then I will lose face."

Making everyone laugh, Jackie Chan felt that the girl had a cute personality, so he specially gave her an autographed photo with the words at the beginning: "Dear Miss Mi."

"But Jackie Chan's "Jedi Exodus" is looking for Fan Xiaopang as the starring role!"

"Well, I heard that Fan Xiaopang has a very good relationship with Boss Yaolai..."

"But it's only been two years since Jackie Chan..."

"Huh? Is he sick?"

"That's not true. What Jackie Chan is famous for and is proud of is action movies with a strong personal style. His movies don't need particularly bizarre plots or special effects that cost money. The main thing is to rely on Jackie Chan himself. , but he is 62 years old and can't move anymore..."

Yang Xiaomi was surprised: "Then...there is no third part of "The Witcher"?"

"Nope," Shen Changlin nodded: "This is the final chapter of the series of "The Wronged Man"...It's actually normal, no one can stand still and keep at the peak. Everyone has their own golden age, and naturally there will be troughs, This is a natural rule, and it is the iron law of the film and television industry.”

"Then Warner can let this series go?"

Shen Changlin scratched his head: "...Let's talk about it later!"

"The Witcher 3" really has no plans...

One is that the plot can no longer continue, and the other is...Jackie Chan has too many projects, and there is no time to shoot...

Another point is that Jackie Chan wants to transform...

To be honest, Shen Changlin is not optimistic about Jackie Chan's transformation - the confrontation with time is extremely cruel, just like Don Quixote charging against the windmill.After all, it is basically impossible to return to the grand occasion of the prime of life at the sixtieth age!
There is no shortage of old men who can act!

……

Jackie Chan was quite happy to see Yang Xiaomi.

Of course, he didn't ask about Shen Changlin's relationship with her—is there any need to ask?

Brother has a lot of experience.

Knowing that Yang Xiaomi participated in "Independence Day 2", Jackie Chan was quite touched: "In 96, when I saw "Heavenly Devil-Earth Strikes Back" in Hong Kong, I was shocked, and I didn't know it at all. How did they make it!"

Shen Changlin explained: ""Sky Fiend - Earth Strikes Back" is "Independence Day"!"

Yang Xiaomi asked Jackie Chan: "Is it because of the level of special effects?"

"Correct!"

Speaking of this, Jackie Chan remembered one thing: "...Spielberg asked me to shoot "Tuxedo", I met with him, and I asked him specifically, 'Putting people, mountains, and dinosaurs together, how did you shoot it? Yeah? It's amazing. Spielberg said casually: "Mine is very easy, just click on the computer. "...I thought at the time that Hollywood's special effects are so good!"

"Actually not. Hollywood special effects have a history of development. Before "Jurassic Park" was "Terminator 2". In that era, sci-fi movies were all using CG technology to achieve realistic effects. Special effects were for special effects, 1999 In 1, "Star Wars Episode 3: The Phantom Menace" was the first full green screen film in film history. The "Lord of the Rings" series created a precedent of facial capture + CG characters, and then "Avatar", motion capture + CG characters + [-]D...promoted the progress of special effects step by step..."

After a pause, Shen Changlin continued: "The special effects of "Jurassic Park" were extremely amazing even in North America at the time. The special effects of Jurassic Park are a huge leap forward milestone in special effects technology, forcing the United States to accelerate the progress of special effects technology. ...they have an industrial foundation... only when the film industry is extremely mature can a super blockbuster be born!"

Jackie Chan nodded, and then said: "I also really want to make a science fiction film!"

Before Shen Changlin answered, Jackie Chan suddenly mentioned that he was going to cooperate with the new director Zhang Lijia in the sci-fi movie "Mechanical Blood"...

"What do you think is the most important thing about science fiction films?"

"Logic... is why they do bad things..."

Shen Changlin really doesn't want to care about "Blood of the Machine", but he really can't bear it - the villain of "Blood of the Machine" is too mentally retarded. The villain has advanced spaceships, advanced battle suits, and advanced pulse guns!what is this?Black technology, and then grab a blood...

For what purpose?

do not know…

Maybe it's just for the sake of point - the blood of the machine...

"Speaking of technology," Shen Changlin changed the subject: "...Director Li An's new film is 120 fps + 4K..."

Yang Xiaomi interjected: "What does 120 frames mean?"

"120 frames means the display refresh rate of 120 frames per second. The more frames per second, the more delicate and smooth the visual perception. Traditional movies are 24 frames..."

Yang Xiaomi still doesn't understand...

In fact, Shen Changlin didn't quite understand either.

It's like he never understood why Li Amine was so obsessed with 120 fps...

How does something like a movie attract audiences?

The movie itself!

This includes rhythm, narrative, characters, etc. These things have nothing to do with the number of frames, but have a close relationship with editing, photography and screenwriting. This is why we often hear that a low-cost movie has earned hundreds of millions.

Also, the Netflix platform clearly recommends not to turn on the frame rate compensation function when watching movies, which will make the movie screen look cheap!
Moreover, in terms of definition, increasing the frame rate is only one of all film technologies, close-up, light, post-processing, high contrast, there are enough technologies and film and television methods to ensure that it can be completed under the existing mainstream technology.

Increasing the frame rate is just one of many means, not the only one.

I really don't understand why Lee Min is so persistent...
