Chapter 199 "Gravity" Finished

The most attractive part of Alfonso Cuaron's version of "Gravity" in the previous life is the long shot of space in the first 8 minutes of the film.

Even the most picky and demanding movie fans will admire this long shot with extremely complicated camera movements, imaginative scene scheduling, and seamless special effects.

However, when Zhang Hao was shooting, he did not copy it. Instead, he divided this long shot into two, one long shot of 10 minutes, and then another long shot of 8 minutes.

Two long shots constitute the first 8 minutes of the film, which can be described as full of tension.

If it is not difficult to create the effect of zero gravity, it can be solved by using hanging wire, Titan mechanical arm and light box.

Then these long shots can be considered a real challenge. This is a long shot in zero gravity.

Zero gravity, which is the tricky part of this shot, is not only difficult to express zero gravity, long shots are inherently difficult, and zero gravity is also difficult.

Adding the two factors together... no, the two factors are not added together, but multiplied, and things are even more difficult.

So before Zhang Hao brainstormed with the photography team, art, and lighting to discuss various shooting plans.

So, in the process of filming, it may be as short as two or three hours, or even ten minutes of shooting time.

However, the shooting plan was finally decided after repeated discussions and verifications by Zhang Hao and his team members for several weeks.

As Zhang Hao's younger brother and assistant director, Lu Zihong was in charge of shooting some extras. He recorded all the scenes of Zhang Hao meeting and discussing with the bosses of each group.

He is responsible for filming the behind-the-scenes footage of "Gravity", making special episodes, and cooperating with the film promotion as required.

It also allows the audience to see the hard work and hard work of all the crew in order to make this film.

Although Lu Zihong admired Zhang Hao very much before, he sometimes felt in his heart that if he had the same opportunity, he would do no worse than Zhang Hao.

But after working with Zhang Hao in the past few months, Lu Zihong was completely convinced by Zhang Hao.

This is a director so talented that you can't see the edge, his creativity and imagination, and his ability to turn imagination into reality are impeccable.

Take a long shot as an example. A long shot is like a beautiful dance. It must deal with a little extra movement, not a single extra picture. It is necessary to make this long shot so that it cannot be boring for a second. .

The director uses the camera to tell the story, and it has been since the birth of the art of film.

Whether it is from a large perspective of the environment to a dialogue shot to a single shot to an action shot to another long shot, they are all talking with the camera.

If you want to tell everything in one shot, you have to figure out a way to include all these types.

What Zhang Hao did so well is that he really fulfilled the above-mentioned lens language without any extra.

Lu Zihong didn't know what other directors were like, but so far, Zhang Hao was the most powerful director he had ever seen.

Zhang Hao's camera language is impeccable, he is simply a master.

No wonder he became a famous director all over the world at the age of 27, no wonder he was able to win honors that even the national teachers had never won.

This is not luck, but real talent and ability.

It is now said that Zhang Hao is the number one director of Chinese-language films, and some people may disagree.

But Lu Zihong wants to say that Zhang Hao is the number one director of Chinese-language movies, and there is no one.

The national teacher took a break later, and he was in second place.

Don't blame Zhang Hao for being a crazy movie fan, it's because Zhang Hao has the ability, and movie fans have crazy capital.

Leaving aside Lu Zihong's mental journey, Jiang Xi who studied with Lu Jianqiu, Zhang Hao's royal photographer, had a completely different experience.

To sum it up, just one word: tired.

And it is super tiring. Although there is a Titan robotic arm, in many cases, people need to carry a bulky IMAX camera on their shoulders to shoot.

Lu Jianqiu is no problem, he is a typical rough guy in the Northwest, with a full body, very strong, and he can easily shoot with an IMAX camera.

Lu Jianqiu has also been in touch with Hollywood's cutting-edge photography technology work, and Zhang Hao is not at ease without him in Zhang Hao's team.

Although Jiang Xi is very 'strength', compared to girls, it is far behind Lu Jianqiu.

By the way, after joining Tianmi Film and Television Production Company, she officially worshiped Lu Jianqiu as her teacher. Although she is from the director department, it is not a problem for the director department to carry the camera.

After all, many photographers can transform into directors, and there is no reason why directors cannot carry cameras.

You know, even Zhang Hao, sometimes he would carry the camera and take the shots himself if he was not satisfied.

What Jiang Xi is most proud of is that she took the camera herself and took a long shot of 8 minutes later, which was praised by director Zhang Hao.

This made her instantly rise in status among the ten interns, and Zhang Hao had made it clear that she and Lu Zihong would be two.

Others are envious, but they can't help it. These two are too strong to compete with each other.

Of course, everyone wants to become a director like Zhang Hao.

But it is not so easy to be a director. You must have sufficient ability, extraordinary talent and talent.

The story setting of "Gravity" is that the crew of the Shenzhou spacecraft performs a mission in the sky, installing a device on a satellite designed by a payload expert played by Mi Mi.

The original version is the Hubble Space Telescope, but because China's space telescope will not be launched until 2023, Zhang Hao changed it to a satellite.

The original space shuttle was also changed to a spaceship, anyway, the spaceship is gone at the beginning, it doesn't matter.

In the original movie, Da Mao's missile hit his own satellite, causing a chain reaction.

Here Zhang Hao has been changed to Ah San. With Ah San's bulk aerospace capabilities, his persuasion is stronger.

Finally escaped, the payload expert played by Da Mimi returned to the earth with the help of the Soyuz spacecraft of the International Space Station, reflecting the great unity of the people of the world, and incidentally for the overseas market.

It's not shabby to earn money.

In general, Zhang Hao's Chinese version is sufficiently localized, and the story of "Gravity" is relatively simple.

The main thing is to watch the performances of the actors, as well as the amazing screen performance.

Such blockbuster visual effects, when the film is released, you must go to the theater to watch the IMAX3D version, the viewing experience brought to the audience is unparalleled.

This advantage of IMAX3D was also emphasized when the film was announced.

Unlike other Chinese-language movies converted to 3D, "Gravity" is a pure 3D movie, which is enough to be a benchmark in the Chinese-language film industry.

After finishing all the space scenes in Fengtian's studio, Zhang Hao took the crew to Hainan to shoot the scene of Da Mi Mi coming out of the sea and stepping on the solid ground.

The film took more than four months of arduous filming and was completed in Hainan at the end of December.

When it was finished, both Tianmi Film and Television Production Company and Da Mimi's Weibo released the final stills of "Gravity".

It was only then that people suddenly realized that the first domestic sci-fi movie, which had been silent for several months, was announced to be completed.

For a while, the media, the public, netizens, and movie fans began to get excited, and started to speculate about the film.

And another movie related to Zhang Hao, "Wu Shuang" also landed in theaters a week before "Gravity" was finished, and achieved a lot of box office results.

　This month has come to a successful conclusion, I will set a goal first, next month will not ask for leave and will continue to update, at least [-] a day, and burst out from time to time.

　　For the sake of my hard work, how about everyone supporting me?
