The best director ever

Chapter 470 Blessings come unparalleled

Early September.

Just when audiences across the country were guessing the mystery behind "Interstellar", Han Qiu and the crew had already embarked on the road of filming.

At the first stop, Han Qiu went to Lin Xia, planning to film the Earth plot before the interstellar voyage.

Secondly, FS Company and Xiao Zhang are busy making props at the Great Wall Base.

Especially the design of the spaceship.

Han Qiu didn't ask Xiao Zhang to make the spaceship too tall.According to the end-of-the-world background of the movie, the number of human beings has plummeted, and most people can’t even fill their stomachs. Most of the world’s manpower and material resources are used to develop agriculture. Even the protagonist Matthew, a former astronaut, has been reduced to a A farmer growing corn.

In this context, what is needed is not engineers or scientists, but farmers!

Therefore, any tall spaceship is nonsense.

In this extremely harsh background, there will be a follow-up story of the protagonist traveling through the wormhole to find a new planet suitable for human habitation.

Han Qiu told Xiao Zhang and FS not to make it into the style of Matrix.That kind of super-era electromagnetic orbital spacecraft will never appear in the background of interstellar travel.

FS is responsible for making the internal and external model of the spaceship in the computer, and Xiao Zhang is responsible for turning it into a real thing.Of course, this spaceship can't fly, it's just a decoration for filming.

Second, there is the design of intelligent robots.In the previous life, Nolan made it look like a black stone tablet.It is said that it is a tribute to a classic science fiction movie: "2001 A Space Odyssey".

Don't think it was released in 2001 when you see 2001, in fact, it appeared decades ago.

This epic space masterpiece that appeared in the 20s in the previous life can be said to have brought the human imagination to the extreme.At that time, China in the previous life was undergoing such a great revolution.

However, when the time really came to 2001, decades later, the majestic and mysterious black stele did not appear in reality.

After thinking about it, Han Qiu also decided to design the robot as a stele in order to pay tribute to 2001.Although he never thought of making the movie 2001, in Han Qiu's mind, it is still a classic that will never fade.

After explaining, Han Qiu and the crew set off for Lin Xia.

In the plot, the environment of the earth in the last days is very harsh, and many plants are gradually dying out and becoming extinct, including crops such as whole grains.

With the extinction of plants and the absence of photosynthesis, the oxygen in the air will become less and less, until finally, human beings will suffocate to death.

Perhaps some humans starved to death before they could suffocate.

Han Qiu wanted to find a large corn field to film this plot, because the protagonist Matthew grows corn that has not yet become extinct.

In the previous life, Nolan did not find a corn field, but directly planted a large area.It took several months from planting the seeds to growing enough to shoot a film.

Han Qiu asked himself that he was not as flamboyant as Nolan, so he simply looked for a cornfield that met the shooting conditions.

Besides, Ningxia is close to a well-known wasteland in China, that is the Loess Plateau.

The "scenery" above is very similar to Han Qiu's imagination of the apocalyptic background of yellow sand all over the sky.This is also the reason why Han Qiu filmed here.

On the 16th, the crew came to Ningxia, a place near the northern part of the Loess Plateau.

Before Han Qiu came here, he had called the local officials to say hello and informed them of his intentions.

Regarding Han Qiu's filming in the Loess Plateau, these officials who usually don't have a big deal are naturally very concerned. Once they make it happen and promote the development of the local economy, it will be a political achievement on their heads.

Immediately, they followed Han Qiu's request and found a large cornfield on the Loess Plateau.

In fact, there are still many places that can be cultivated on the Loess Plateau, and the soil in some places is still very fertile.

Just like the Hetao area.

That place is quite fertile, and the soil is extremely fertile.Not to mention growing corn, ginseng will do.

Therefore, these enthusiastic leaders quickly helped Han Qiu find a cornfield, which was on the plateau.And all of Han Qiu's conditions were met: it was desolate, Liao was uninhabited, except for a small town, the surrounding area was surrounded by high slopes of loess.

The cornfield Han Qiu needs is next to a small village outside the town.

As soon as the villagers walk out of the gate, there is a cornfield.Of course, in addition to corn, there are other crops.

Now in September, the villagers have harvested all the corn before the end of August, leaving only a piece of "bare stem commander".

Han Qiu came at the right time, so he didn't have to worry about the impact on the villagers' harvest due to filming.

Of course, Han Qiu still paid a sum of money for expropriating his territory.

At first, the villagers were very unhappy, and they were even more unhappy when they heard that Han Qiu would cause damage to the cornfield.Although they have already harvested, seeing their fields being ruined, it would be a lie to say that they are not depressed.

But after Han Qiu put out stacks of RMB, the villagers' smiles were brighter than popcorn.

Han Qiu was also speechless, these villagers are really simple.

At this moment, at the village chief's house, the village chief couldn't take his eyes off the large sum of money that Han Qiu had put out.

This is 10 RMB, and they don't want our corn, they just use it temporarily.Besides, the piece of corn that has been picked is not worth [-] yuan at all!
"Mr. Han, you are too polite. You can use that cornfield as you like, and you can do whatever you want." The village chief said inwardly, because the cornfield belongs to his family, so he can certainly make decisions.

"That's good." Han Qiu nodded: "Don't worry, we won't cause too much damage to your field.

The cornfield is mainly used as a background. When it is exhausted, I drive a car and crush some bellflowers, and then set a fire later to burn a small piece of it.

Therefore, Han Qiu will not damage the soil, but some crops will be unlucky.

But he has no psychological burden, and the 10 yuan is entitled to compensation.

Hearing this, the village chief nodded hurriedly: "Okay, okay, no problem. We don't know what filming is like, so we can't help you much."

"It's okay, you don't have to worry about this." Han Qiu shook his head: "It is the greatest help that you have lent us the cornfield."

Han Qiu didn't discriminate against the peasants in his heart. Although most of the peasants were not well-educated, they couldn't understand the theory of relativity, and they hadn't even heard of it.But after all, the food we eat every day is grown by their hands.

Especially in the movie Interstellar, technology is almost obsolete, and farmers are the new force in the last days.

This is also the reason why the protagonist turns from an astronaut into a corn farmer.

A few days later, the crew began filming.

The house of the protagonist's family is not far from the cornfield, it is a small three-story western-style building.

Now in rural areas, it only costs hundreds of thousands of RMB to build a small western-style building with a height of several floors and hundreds of square meters.If this is to be placed in a big city, it will definitely cost more than ten times the price.

Han Qiu remodeled the place a little bit, including the interior decoration and so on.Especially the study room is the most important thing.You know, this small study room is connected to the five-dimensional space.

For this reason, Han Qiu specially bought a large number of books, most of which are "props books", that is, books that are made of plastic, have an empty appearance, but cannot be opened at all.Only a few are real books that can be flipped through.

It took a total of a week to set up the set and shoot the scene. It was not until late September that the crew began the formal shooting.

But these days, the protagonists in the play are more familiar with each other.

In particular, the two "brothers and sisters" Liu Ran and Liu Xianghui have formed friendship.Because playing "brother and sister" in the play, the two often need to match their lines. This pair, friendship was formed unconsciously.

In the crew, Liu Ran is 17 years old and Liu Xianghui is 13 years old. They are the youngest of the two, so they have the most common topics.

Sometimes Han Qiu joked with Liu Dehua, "Hua Zai, Liu Ran is also surnamed Liu, and he is from your family. He and Xiaohui play brother and sister, it's so fake!"

Liu Dehua laughed and teased: "Disgusting the real with the fake? Director Han, isn't this exactly what you want?"

Han Qiu shrugged, smiled without saying a word.

"By the way, Director Han, why did you choose such a name for my daughter's character, Murphy?"

"Because of Murphy's Law, isn't it written in the script?" Han Qiu replied.

"I have never understood the meaning of this Murphy's Law. Director Han, you wrote it, and I checked it online, which means 'If there is a possibility that things will go bad, no matter how small the possibility is, it will always happen. ', but what does that sentence mean? Does it make any sense?"

Liu Dehua shook his head: "This sounds like a joke. If things have the possibility of getting worse, then one day it will get worse. It's like saying that if a person is always unlucky, saying this is not the same as saying it in vain ?"

"If you have to say that, then Murphy's Law is indeed a humorous joke." Han Qiu said: "This is a question similar to probability. It just reminds us to be prepared for things to go bad. Just Movies like our Huaxian's are all big money, but it's hard to guarantee that they will hit the market one day."

In fact, Han Qiu does not have any special admiration for Murphy's Law, even though it is called one of the "Three Great Discoveries of Western Culture in the [-]th Century".

Liu Dehua nodded: "I think this law is a bit mystical."

"Maybe, most people think so, but if you are in the security department or the safety department, maybe you think differently. A screw problem can crash a rocket, and a bird can knock down a plane. Although the probability of these things is pitifully small, they might actually happen. The people in the security department are worried about this."

Liu Dehua nodded lightly: "That's right, that's probably what Murphy's Law means, but foreigners make it too mysterious."

"Actually, our Chinese ancestors have said similar things long ago, but they didn't give it the title of 'law' like foreigners do."

"Oh? What?"

Han Qiu squinted his eyes and smiled: "Blessings are unparalleled, and misfortunes never come singly!"
