The King of Huayu Science Fiction

Chapter 249
"Here, coffee."

Yan Xiaoyue took two cups of coffee, one large and one small, and walked up to Chen Jingxing who was adjusting the huge 3D camera with the photographer, and handed out the small cups.

After taking it, Chen Jingxing took a sip and frowned: "Good guy, is it iced?"

Yan Xiaoyue said with a smile: "It's a habit I developed in the crew of "The Sword of Yue Girl". I have a big glass of iced Americano in the morning, and I'm in good shape all day long!"

"I just asked you for a cup of coffee, and you're going to retaliate against me like this?"

"It's right to listen to my senior sister. After drinking a cup, not only can you be energetic all day long, but you can also feel comfortable all day long."

"I'm in a good mood?" Chen Jingxing looked at Yan Xiaoyue's half-smiling eyes, and said, "Although I still love surfing the Internet, I have seen many storms and waves in the past two years, so where is it? Director Wang is an old man. Senior, what’s the point of saying a few words, how do you say that sentence? 'I have the box office, laugh at the sour dog'? It should be used to increase the popularity of "Matrix".

It is true that Chen Jingxing didn't mean to be generous on purpose. In fact, if he was criticized by a director of Wang Molin's level without naming names, he would naturally feel uncomfortable. But think about his original work in "Tang Detective" At the media preview, a top player was criticized almost by name, and he must have felt uncomfortable.

After staying in the entertainment industry for a long time, it is often unclear whether it is for show or sincerity. In the end, it can only be measured by profit. Can Wang Molin hurt him by "firing a cannon" at him?No, is it good for Dreamworks and The Matrix?It's really good, the heat itself is a good thing.

Even if the topic is so hot, he doesn't like it, but it has no loss, and it lowers the audience's expectations in a disguised way. In the future, when the trailer is announced and released, it will bring even greater surprises to the audience.

Maybe, after "Matrix" really sets off a kung fu craze at home and abroad, the group of people who are now echoing Wang Molin and criticizing him, especially some martial artists, martial artists, action directors and action actors in the industry, will have to wait until then. Thank him by pinching his nose, he loves to see others being slapped in the face by him.

After he figured it out, he no longer cared about these things. As for the opinions of netizens, they are even more insignificant. They just fall with the wind. When the movie is released, maybe he will change his face and praise him again .

Yan Xiaoyue saw Chen Jingxing's expression and tone as if he really didn't care, so she was relieved, and said in a somewhat reminiscent tone: "It was also my dream to be able to film a play directed by Wang Molin. I didn't expect to be directed by Wang Molin now." It’s a target for bashing, and sometimes it’s kind of weird.”

Wang Molin is the leading director of domestic kung fu-themed movies. In the eyes of a hero like Yan Xiaoyue, of course he is one of the directors who most hope to cooperate.

"It's okay. When "Matrix" premieres, I will send an invitation to Director Wang, asking him to watch the movie with his own eyes, and see how he looks when the time comes."

Yan Xiaoyue laughed out loud: "It's cool to think about it. In fact, Director Wang still left some room for what he said, and some of his disciples and grandchildren spoke quite harshly. I didn't expect you to be angry. I can't help but want to refute."

"Hey, Lu Hongzhe is here, he arrived quite early."

Yan Xiaoyue held back her smile and said, "Which actor dares to come late? The first scene must not leave a good impression on you, a big director? Who would have thought that you, a director, would come so early, and you might scare him. I thought I was late."

Seeing Lu Hongzhe trot over nervously, Chen Jingxing rubbed his nose, good guy, it seems that we have to come later tomorrow, otherwise I'm afraid we'll be introverted, it's hard to be a famous director.

After the actors put on their makeup and changed their costumes, all departments of the crew adjusted their equipment, and after the lights were turned on, it was exactly nine o'clock in the morning, and the first scene of "Matrix" officially started filming in an old-fashioned building in Shanghai.

For the city background of "Matrix", Chen Jingxing chose Shanghai.

The city has both modern high-rise buildings and old-fashioned buildings full of sentimental and historical charm, and its reputation is high enough. At the same time, it is in line with Chen Jingxing's consistent intention of using movies to subtly promote the modernization of Huaguo and the idea of ​​the city.

For example, in the first part of "Matrix", when the last savior rescued the captain who was captured by the hunted and tortured to extract a confession, Chen Jingxing chose the famous Jinmao Tower in the magic city as the background. The helicopter descended from the sky and approached the glass curtain wall, staged a high-altitude rescue. This kind of picture It will definitely be a famous scene in Huaguo movies in the future.

Not to mention the chasing scenes in alleys and streets, fighting scenes, and peak duels in subway stations, which can almost give a panoramic view of the modernity and traditions of Shanghai, the East and the West.

Therefore, for Chen Jingxing's new film "Matrix" to set the background in Shanghai, the official is quite welcome. Generally, landmark buildings related to a certain city appear in the film, and the official approval of the city is generally required. The application for the factory was passed by Shanghai almost quickly.

The Beijing-Shanghai high-speed railway that appeared in "Source Code" and the beautiful scenery of the Great Plains in northern Jiangsu made this line and the section of the plain an Internet celebrity.

It not only attracts a large number of domestic tourists, but also many overseas tourists like to experience the Beijing-Shanghai line, experience the feeling of the hero and heroine of "Source Code", and take pictures to record the scenery along the line.

It can be called the non-staff propagandist of Huaguo High-speed Railway.

Chen Jingxing's films have always been sold at home and abroad, not to mention that the urban landscape is more likely to attract tourists than the high-speed rail and the scenery along the line. The magic city is naturally extremely generous.

Of course, the fact that the background is Shanghai does not mean that the movie will be shot in Shanghai. This is unrealistic, and even most scenes will not be shot in Shanghai.

First of all, it is impossible to shoot the scenes of Jin Mao Tower on the spot in Jin Mao Tower. All of this needs to be shot in a greenhouse, set up a green screen, and combine visual effects in post-production.

It is also impossible to shoot the subway decisive battle on the spot.

It is also difficult to shoot street chases and fights in Shanghai. In such an international metropolis, road closures are not only troublesome but also costly.

Therefore, the shooting plan is to set up a greenhouse and green screen, build a street building and scene, and finally special effects processing, which is not difficult for Mo today.

Only the part where the male protagonist returns to the matrix after his first team mission after awakening, and asks the "sage" whether he is the savior, was filmed on the spot in Shanghai. An old-fashioned high-rise building close to the Bund was selected for small-scale shooting. Road closed.

Therefore, the shooting schedule is very tight, which is also the reason why Chen Jingxing came very early. He strives to finish the filming as soon as possible, and then he can return to the No. [-] Greenhouse of the National Film Digital Base in the suburbs of Beijing, which is exclusive to DreamWorks, to shoot other plots.

And this filming also attracted a large number of citizens and tourists, and even Chen Jingxing's fans who came here specially came to watch outside the cordoned off.

Chen Jingxing's previous works were either shot in a closed environment or in a large studio. This is really the first time to shoot in a downtown area.

The first scene of "Matrix" became a hot search among the various photos and videos uploaded by the melon eaters on the Internet, and it also suppressed the fan-black war about Chen Jingxing's quarrel for a while.
