The King of Huayu Science Fiction

Chapter 321 Lost at the box office?

Xijiang, near Devil City.

"Hoo... ho... ah... ah!"

Lei Jiayin was wearing a spacesuit, breathing rapidly through the mask and helmet, stood up tremblingly, screaming and screaming from time to time.

Huge 3D cameras surround Lei Jiayin in 360 degrees along the paved track.

"Cut!" Chen Jingxing, who was wearing a sun hat and sunglasses, held the guide tube and shouted: "Yes, this one is over!"

Lei Jiayin struggled to hold the entire helmet, pressed it down, then took off the helmet, took a few deep breaths, and wiped the sweat from his hair and forehead, as if he had just finished a [-]-meter long-distance race.

In fact, in Lei Jiayin's opinion, it is not inferior to a [-]-meter long-distance race.

This scene is about the hero in "The Martian" who was injured in a storm on Mars and fainted and was left on Mars. He woke up the next day, his abdomen was deeply penetrated by fragments, the hero struggled to get up and looked around the Martian environment and was affected by the wound The situation moves towards the base of the play step by step.

It looks simple, but this is a 2-minute long shot, which comprehensively shows the whole picture of Mars after the storm, as well as the injury and tenacity of the male lead. I have to say that Chen Jingxing's long shot after "Gravity" seems to be A little addicted, the end result is to torture not only myself but also the actors, and even the rest of the crew.

This scene of Lei Jiayin took more than a dozen shots, of course, it does not mean that Lei Jiayin's acting is not good, as a good actor of the method school, there is no "difficult" scene in "The Martian" that can stump him , and the film itself does not have grand-level requirements for performance, and it is not going to participate in the Cannes Film Festival awards.

It is purely Chen Jingxing's reservation and exploration of more possibilities, the speed of the 3D camera moving on the track, Lei Jiayin's own breathing rhythm, etc. He tried to make the actors perform different feelings in each of them. When the time comes, use whichever one is better.

Who made Chen Jingxing not short on time or money? If it weren't for the limitation of the subject matter, the 3.5 million production cost of "The Martian" could be earned back from sponsors and advertisements.

"Take a good rest!" Chen Jingxing stepped forward and patted Lei Jiayin on the shoulder, then turned his head and shouted to the crew, "Take a break for an hour! Brother Wang, find out who launched the drone in the sky."

Chen Jingxing looked up at the drones circling in the sky, with an expression of displeasure and helplessness.

"Gravity" has achieved unprecedented success at home and abroad, and the current global box office has exceeded 7.8 million U.S. dollars—the Huaguo box office alone is close to 4 million U.S. dollars—and currently ranks No. 2016 on the global box office list in [-]. Four, and this is not the limit.

The consequence is that "The Martian" has gained unprecedented attention, and it is no longer the momentum that the officials pushed at the previous press conference. At that time, the image of "The Martian" in public opinion was a gift film that cooperated deeply with the aerospace department.

Now "The Martian" has gained more commercial attention, not only from the media, but also from netizens.

Because the actors of "The Martian" also include Lei Jiayin and Wu Yue, among which Lei Jiayin is the leading actor, and Wu Yue plays the commander of the "Zhu Rong" Mars spacecraft. Wu Yue, "The Martian" is just the opposite.

This is also a stalk that can echo each other. DreamWorks has produced more movies now, and it is also qualified to pay tribute to and echo each other in different works.

In the outside world, it is even rumored that "The Martian" is a sequel to "Gravity".

Of course, this is not nonsense. In fact, the space trilogy planned by Chen Jingxing may have slightly different tone and style, and the themes of the stories are different, but they are all set under the same world view. Many practical effects.

Whether people are curious about the so-called "sequel" of "Gravity", or "Gravity" inspired Chinese people's love for space and space movies, so they pay attention to "The Martian", in short, too many people are interested in this movie. The filming of the film aroused interest.

The drones in the sky also come from this.

Chen Jingxing had to admire the perseverance of these paparazzi media. He thought that choosing the shooting location in this place where nothing shit would happen would allow the crew to enter the "Xanadu". Unexpectedly, they could not escape the prying eyes, and even used drones.

The traffic here is quite inconvenient, there are no people in the area for hundreds of miles, and there is only one road passing by nearby.

Naturally, Chen Jingxing didn't want to be secretly photographed by the media, even if it was just a photo in progress, but if someone would go to such great lengths to secretly photograph the set of "The Martian", it means that the news written will definitely be read by many viewers. It made him feel strangely comforted.

The temperature in early August was still very high, especially the ultraviolet rays here were very strong. Chen Jingxing hid in the "Mars Research Station" built between shootings, and was going to see the conditions of the potatoes he planted.

That's right, Chen Jingxing not only built a scientific research station in this "martian landform", but also built three greenhouses to grow potatoes.

Fortunately, the drone should not have a see-through eye, and there is no way to see the potato-growing room in the huge scientific research station. Growing potatoes on Mars is an important plot that he decided to keep secret, which can be regarded as a surprise experience for the audience.

Chen Jingxing has really realized the charm of live-action shooting now. To be honest, although the effect of "Gravity" is good, he really didn't feel that he was a director when he was filming. The chief visual effects artist of Legacy was more like a director than him. He was just a Storyboard designer only.

Only in this real live-action shooting can he regain that sense of directorial control.

Lei Jiayin also came in wearing a space suit, and the two of them chatted casually and talked about "Your Name", which was just released in theaters across the country yesterday.

"... I read that "Your Name" has a very good reputation on the Internet. The word-of-mouth of a movie is also very important to the box office. Isn't "The Mekong" in the Spring Festival a counterattack? I have seen other movies with average reviews. " Your Name" will definitely be able to counterattack."

Lei Jiayin may feel that Chen Jingxing is in a bad mood because of the box office of "Your Name", so he comforted him.

Hearing Lei Jiayin's sincere comfort, Chen Jingxing couldn't help laughing inwardly. He might have thought that he was in a bad mood because of "Your Name" and that's why he "tossed" hard in the last scene. Name" and worry about it.

In the eyes of others, he does have reason to be unhappy.

The opening box office of "Your Name" can be regarded as a record low for DreamWorks in the past two years. The box office on the first day was only 1236 million. The factory's illustrious reputation is in stark contrast.

This also shows that the appeal of any actor, director or company brand is inferior to the theme, and the type of the movie itself is the number one driving force for the audience to enter the theater.

Of course, this is also related to the fierce competition for the Qixi festival. There are three new films released at the same time. These films not only aim at Valentine’s Day, but mainly want to make a difference in the second half of the summer in August, so they coincidentally choose the release that maximizes the benefits. time.

However, Chen Jingxing didn't really pay much attention to it. On the one hand, the summer file is not a "short-term battle". Unlike the National Day and Spring Festival files, there is room for word-of-mouth fermentation to go long-term.

The second is to film in this place that doesn't shit. It seems to be completely out of touch with another Vanity Fair. He doesn't know what other people think. Now he really regards the filming schedule of "The Martian" here as a "Xanadu" .

Whether it is the media inside the company or the outside world, they all know that he is making a movie, and they don't dare to disturb him. After all, the media is also afraid that Chen Jingxing will add him to the blacklist. Looking at the starry sky without neon light pollution in the semi-circular "tent hotel" turned upside down on the ground, even the bedtime is earlier.

He also seems to have become Buddhist, and he can't bring up many negative emotions about the "box office failure" of "Your Name". Of course, it is only during this filming period that his DreamWorks and his dreams Still in that Vanity Fair.

While Chen Jingxing was filming in the Buddhist Department of Xijiang, the summer box office competition was still in full swing.

……

Lin Yiyi is an ordinary sophomore, and also one of the fans of DreamWorks, but she is not a loyal fan, but has seen a lot of DreamWorks film and television works, it is a good way to have a little filter for DreamWorks degree.

It happened to be the weekend, I was lying on the bed in the dormitory watching a little sweet drama on Penguin Video, tumbling until after 12 noon, after watching the two episodes that were just updated, the deer with pink bubbles in my heart has not calmed down, and I can’t stop thinking about it Logged into a gossip film and television forum, planning to find one or two more dramas of the same type from cute netizens to satisfy her restlessness of wanting to fall in love.

As soon as she entered the homepage, she was overwhelmed by the impressions of various movies, which made her a little strange. She glanced at it and found that they were talking about a few movies that were released yesterday. Was yesterday the group movie release day?

Heh, it turned out to be the Qixi Festival schedule... The single dog who had been avoiding receiving similar information suffered a critical attack without warning.

"Yesterday, I watched two new films in a row with my boyfriend, let's say a few words."

"Report on Movie Watching Experience on Chinese Valentine's Day..."

"What is "I'm Waiting for You in Memories" a peerless and terrible movie? I dragged my boyfriend out of the scene halfway through watching it!"

"Don't vomit, it's all rotten fish and shrimp, big baby, don't come out and scare people!"

"Valentine's Day sleep report... Don't think about it, I really fell asleep in the theater"

"Seeing that everyone is complaining about actresses, I don't agree, is wtx invisible?"

"Y1S1, "Memories" is actually quite romantic. When wtx kissed lff forcefully, my first kiss disappeared, and I was taken aback by my boyfriend."

"Some people are a little too dark, Wu Tingxuan has obviously made great progress this time."

Lin Yiyi sneered in her heart, did a group of coquettish sluts come to express their impressions or to show their affection?
Until I slid to a "Single dog eating dog food report! Chinese people don't lie to Chinese people! "Your Name" is so sweet!"
