I'm a movie star on earth

Chapter 478 Lu Xiaohan's troubles
"What? You said the director bought an airplane for filming?" Li Hyuk's eyes widened, he was very surprised.

Elizabeth Debicci was very satisfied with Li He's expression, nodded and said, "That's right, Boeing 747, it's a very big plane."

"Aren't planes very expensive? Our investment is only [-] million U.S. dollars. If we buy a plane, it will be gone?" Li He asked.

Elizabeth Debicki shook her head and said, "Don't worry, it's just an empty shell, a scrapped plane, except for the engine, which is worth a little money, and everything else is worthless, and the engine has been dismantled and sold."

Li He patted his chest and said, "It's okay, I can accept it, I thought the director really bought a plane for filming."

In fact, no matter how crazy Nolan is, it would be impossible for Nolan to do this. In fact, before buying the plane, Nolan made a calculation with the crew, whether to use CG models or real shots to save money. In the end, Nolan went to the plane cemetery. I found that there were a few planes that looked good but were scrapped, so I calculated and found that it would be cheaper to use real planes.

Li He could only give a thumbs up and say that Nolan is forever a god.Nolan's spirit of real shooting has actually been revealed a long time ago. Li Hyuk still remembers his shocked expression when he played the role of a doctor and participated in "Interstellar".

After the filming ended, the corn in the corn field was ripe, and the crew waved and sold it and made a fortune, which can be regarded as an alternative income generation.

In fact, compared to buying a plane, the biggest difficulty the crew encountered was undoubtedly how to present the anti-physical world and how to shoot the action.In the film, there will be a scene where Li Hyuk fights with himself who came through the portal. He is actually an action actor. The two of them practiced for half a month just for this fighting scene, and they barely met the requirements of director Nolan. .

There are also big scenes in the film. For example, the part of the opera house is expected to require more than 800 group performances. On the day of filming, the crew needs to coordinate and find them.

A large number of location scenes are shot on-site, and the content of the shooting must be planned when the location is set up in the early stage, and a detailed production schedule and completion date must be formulated.

The production schedule and completion date are necessary, because of the constraints of the deadline, the film can be produced smoothly, and it will not end without a problem.In fact, without the constraints of the production schedule and completion date, everyone in the 90s might not have seen the film history classic "Titanic". Truck drivers are notoriously procrastinated when making movies.

The actors have been training until the end of May. At this time, "Reunion [-]" has already dominated the world, and it is only a matter of surpassing "Avatar" to become the number one box office in film history.

However, in China, "Avengers IV" can only rank second, because the box office of "The Wandering Earth" in the Spring Festival file is 52 billion, like a mountain. "The Wandering Earth" was also released in overseas regions, but its popularity was limited compared to domestic ones. It landed in North America at the end of April, and so far it has only earned more than 9000 million US dollars.

The combined total of other regions does not exceed [-] million US dollars. Including the domestic box office, the film's global box office barely exceeds [-] million US dollars, temporarily ranking third in the global annual box office, behind "Avengers [-]" and "Captain Marvel".However, this position will not last long. There are many blockbuster movies in the summer, including many classic IP works.

The films confirmed to be released in June and July alone include "The Lion King", "Spider-Man: Far From Home", "Toy Story 4" and other works. No matter how you look at it, "The Wandering Earth" cannot hold the third position.

However, the top ten is stable, unless there is a particularly abnormal situation in the second half of the year.Even so, it is enough for people in the industry to sigh. Just relying on the domestic market and a small amount of overseas box office contributions, Chinese-language films have appeared frequently in the annual TOP10. This situation also makes Chinese-language filmmakers full of confidence.

The potential of the Huaxia film market is so great, and it is unreasonable to give creators the best environment if they cannot produce good works.

Because "The Wandering Earth" had a good start, the audience's trust in domestic sci-fi films was suddenly full, and "Shanghai Fortress" did a lot of bundled promotion in the early stage, plus a few trailers, it looks okay. , it seems that the spring of domestic science fiction films has come all at once.

It's just that many viewers still have doubts about Lu Xiaohan. The reason is very simple. Lu Xiaohan has never proved himself in movies. Li He is the number one Chinese actor in the box office. What are you, Lu Xiaohan?
Moreover, director Teng Huatao has no commendable works except for "33 Days of Broken Love", and Guo Fan, the director of "Wandering Earth", has two films "A Little Thing of First Love" and "You at the Same Table".

Moving forward amidst the controversy, the schedule of "Shanghai Fortress" has also been set. It will meet with the audience on August [-]th. During the long months, not only Lu Xiaohan's fans and sci-fi fans are anxious, but Lu Xiaohan himself is also anxious.

Others don't know the quality of the film, how can he not know?But it's a pity that not everyone is Li He, who can intervene in the production of the movie. In other words, Lu Xiaohan is just an actor, and Teng Huatao doesn't even count what the movie looks like, it's all in the hands of the investors.

There are gossip rumors that Teng Huatao does not even have the final editing rights, and the editing of the film is in the hands of laymen.In addition, the author and screenwriter Jiang Nan's words are not counted. The entire crew is just a tool, and it is enough to complete their own tasks. Other things are not the crew's turn to do.

It's okay to say that the film is successful after it's released. If it fails, the investor will not lose the most money, but the crew will bear the blame.But at that time, the most unlucky person will be Lu Xiaohan, he must be the one with the biggest blame.

So Lu Xiaohan now expects the movie to be a big hit, at least not to lose money, so that although there are still scoldings, it has proved his box office appeal anyway, so that he won't be beaten to death in the movie business.

I have to say that the attempts of the four returnees in the film business are not considered successful. The other two, Zhang Huang, have given up on this field and concentrated on doing variety shows and TV dramas. That one, always refused to give up the movie business.

Facts have proved that movies are not something that can be played with fame and money, and the audience is not so easy to fool. After all, movie tickets are bought with money, except for fans who will willingly pay for it, so that the audience can enter the movie theater There is only one reason, and that is a good movie.

After the baptism of bad movies in the past few years, the audience's sharp eyes have been trained, and it will not be so easy to fool the audience in the future.

Lu Xiaohan was worried about the prospect of "Shanghai Fortress", while Li He was worried about the filming of "Creed". He originally thought that the early training would not be so hard, but he found that he thought too much. Like a layer of skin, exhausted to death.

At the beginning, Lee Hyuk saw that the actors who were training with him basically didn't sit down and rest during the training period, and he was also resting even if he was not good, but he couldn't help it later, and he would rest and be lazy when he found an opportunity.

Originally, Li Hyuk was worried that Nolan would scold him, but later found that everyone was the same.And Nolan didn't say anything, maybe he also knew that the training intensity was too high.

The crew still has to pay attention to the basic law when filming. Don't let the leading actors be trained if the film is not filmed.
