my movie years

Chapter 252 The domestic sci-fi movie that started again
With the popularity of "Gravity", domestic sci-fi films have shown signs of moving forward, and there are many well-designed projects among them.

But then, the "sci-fi blockbuster" "My Alien Boyfriend" starring Lu Xiaohan and a certain Shuangzi was released shockingly, successfully shocking the industry.

By the way, it also put a lock on the genre of domestic science fiction movies.

Therefore, almost all domestic sci-fi film projects have come to a standstill, except for "The Martian" and "The Wandering Earth" by Tianmi Film and Television Production Company.

Among them, "The Martian" is the most concerned project, because the director who directed the film is a box office bomb, a real shooting madman, Zhang Hao, who claims to have one billion movie fans.

It can be said that since "The Martian" entered the preparatory period, the popularity on the Internet has never stopped.

Zhang Yi bluntly said that participating in "The Martian" was very hard, and Da Mi Mi cut her hair short again for the film.

Or the crew built a Mars base in the Jinchang area of ​​Gansu, and experts from the space agency acted as scientific advisors, etc. can all be on the hot search.

From time to time, some specious Reuters photos circulated. For a while, Zhang Yi was dissatisfied with the treatment of the crew and played big names, and for a while, it was because of the movie Da Mi Mi and Zhang Hao's divorce and so on.

Zhang Yi himself was a little confused. He was a well-known actor before, but he definitely didn't have such a high degree of attention.

But since he participated in "The Martian" and was still the well-deserved number one male, he was frequently searched every three days, which made him a little uncomfortable.

This is a project that has received a lot of attention, and it has given actors a boost.

It is said that the day after Zhang Yi signed the film contract of "The Martian", many scripts were handed to him. In addition, there were countless commercial endorsements, and TV programs came rushing in.

Facing all this sudden situation, Zhang Yi appeared calm. He turned down all TV variety shows, and carefully selected commercial endorsements and scripts.

Currently, Zhang Yi chooses to focus on the project of "The Martian" itself.

Excessive attention has both advantages and disadvantages for the project "The Martian".

If the quality of the film is as expected, all the praise will be deserved.

But if the quality of the film is not as good as expected, or even bad, then such a high popularity is bound to be backlashed.

But everyone in the crew is full of confidence, because the person leading them to complete this project is Zhang Hao.

Just recently, The Little Days Next Door selected the top ten film art masters in Asia, and the only one from China on the list was Zhang Hao.

Although fans of other Chinese film directors, such as Guo Shi and Chen Gezi, or fans of Wong Kar Wai may not be satisfied with this selection.

But in Little Days, Zhang Hao is the most popular Chinese film director, there is no doubt about it.

Takuya Kimura said in interviews that he likes Zhang Hao's film works the most and is his loyal fan.

It's the same in South Korea. Even in the Korean entertainment industry, where the fandom is serious, Zhang Hao is at the level of his brother.

IU, Lim Yoona, Taeyeon, Song Hye Kyo and other Korean goddesses have publicly stated on Korean variety shows that the man they most want to marry is Zhang Hao.

But at this time, Chinese netizens will take action, so that these Korean actresses don't worry about it, Zhang Hao does not belong to them.

Korean netizens are not to be outdone, our Korean male gods have also captured many of your goddesses, such as the fairy sister who is in a relationship with Song Seung Heon recently.

Both Tang Wei and Qi Wei have become Korean daughter-in-laws, and you, Zhang Hao, can also become Korean son-in-law.

What's more, according to the textual research, Zhang Hao's ancestry is Korean, so it is no problem to conclude that Zhang Hao is Korean.

Otherwise, how to explain Zhang Hao's outstanding film talent, there is no other reason except that Zhang Hao is a Korean talent and looks so good.

However, other netizens scoffed at the shameless remarks of Korean netizens, but they have been used to it for so many years.

The time came to the end of October, and with the official release of several boot stills by Tianmi Film and Television Company, it was announced that "The Martian" had officially entered the filming stage.

Taking into account the weather, the earliest filming was actually the location scene of Mars in Mangya.

In fact, the crew is divided into two groups, A and B, and the director of group B is Xin Shuang. Some scenes that are not important for the scenes, including the scenes of Da Tiantian as a guest reporter, are all shot by group B.

The final shooting results were handed over to Zhang Hao for review, and he decided whether to adopt or actually shoot.

As a lover of film and IMAX format, the film is still shot in IMAX70mm film format.

In the theater in the future, the audience will experience the unparalleled Martian landscape, which puts forward requirements for shooting and post-production.

Zhang Hao not only used the camera, but also developed a RED photography system with the photography team and the technical photography department of China Film.

This photography system is similar to the dominant perspective of documentary style, including Epic and Scarlet, and the RAW format of all materials is about 100-200TB.

In addition, more than a dozen GoPro Hero4 cameras were deployed in the Mars living quarters and rovers as surveillance cameras.

Since the photography system is newly developed, many unimaginable difficulties will be encountered in the actual shooting process, resulting in a single mistake that has to be overthrown and restarted.

So at the beginning, the filming of the crew did not go very smoothly.

Fortunately, Zhang Hao has enough patience to wait for the camera crew and all crew members to adapt to the new equipment and technology and enter a new stage.

At this time, the shooting progress can be accelerated.

The crew who can film "The Martian" with Zhang Hao, counting the post-production team, there are more than 400 people behind the scenes.

These people are also carefully cultivated by Zhang Hao, who have successively experienced the training of three major projects such as "Batman: Beginning", "Gravity", and "The Dark Knight".

It can be said that the team itself has experience in the production of large-scale projects and is very mature.

Even, Tianmi Film and Television Company has specially produced a process book internally, from pre-preparation to shooting, to post-production, there is already a mature production pipeline.

After seeing it, the leaders of China Film Group felt that this was a very constructive process, and wanted to promote this process to other film companies.

Of course, Zhang Hao didn't hide it, and contributed to this process without charging.

As for whether you can learn it or not, it depends on your own ability.

However, the process is written for everyone, but few crews can really do it.The reason is simple, not because I don't want to do it, but because I can't do it.

To form the real support of these processes, talents are still needed.

But in the past few years, China Film has sent so many people to study in Hollywood one after another, but only a few have returned.

Except for Zhang Hao's team, most of them can be said to have achieved nothing.

People also have reason to say, what project you Zhang Hao participated in, it is a Hollywood A-level production, of course you can learn something.

What did my group learn?It's just a role of playing fish with soy sauce, and can't touch anything.

With just such a group of people, if you ask him to engage in film processing or various industrial production pipelines, can he do it?I can't do it, I don't have the ability to know...

After a while, everyone found that many talents actually came from Zhang Hao's crew.

Therefore, China Film Group proposed that Zhang Hao's crew should recruit more people to study in the crew and contribute to Chinese-language films.

Zhang Hao said that there is no problem, but old fried dough sticks are not allowed to cheat and play tricks, as long as novices or graduates have a good learning attitude.

Taught in this way, he is willing to learn, instead of being absent-minded and ignoring the wind.

Furthermore, if there are outstanding talents, Tianmi Film and Television Production Company has the right to give priority to hiring them.

My crew is not a school, and the school still has to pay tuition fees. Why should my crew train talents for other crews for free?

In fact, China Film also knows that this is a bit embarrassing for Zhang Hao. How can it be possible not to give some exchange to let others cultivate talents?
Therefore, China Film Group promises to give the greatest support in terms of theater chain resources, and the amount of account sharing between theater chains and producers will also be divided according to the minimum amount of account sharing.

In addition, there are tax refund and tax exemption quotas, etc., and there are even more.

In short, as the chairman of China Film Group said to Zhang Hao on the phone: "Thank you for your contribution to Chinese-language films. Don't put too much pressure on it, just do it with confidence."

Speaking of talents, when filming "Gravity", two juniors from Nortel joined Zhang Hao's crew, namely Lu Zihong and Jiang Xi.

Lu Zihong is now an executive director. He has done a great job and looks much more capable.

Jiang Xi is also amazing, something that many people don't know.

Many of the scenes shot by the blood-swelling IMAX camera in "The Dark Knight" were shot by Jiang Xi.

Jiang Xi has also been poached by many crews and directors, but Jiang Xi still believes that she can have more development opportunities in Zhang Hao's team, so she stays in Zhang Hao's team.

This year, another group of interns from Nortel, a total of more than 30 people, joined Zhang Hao's crew to study.

Nortel just awarded Zhang Hao an honorary alumnus and a master's degree in film studies in May this year.Zhang Hao couldn't refuse the love from his alma mater.

Mangya, Qinghai, the crew was blowing on the Gobi desert.

The violent northwest wind whizzed past, blowing the tents of the production team to rattle, and several tents were blown into the sky, and then disappeared.

Inside the director's tent, Zhang Hao and Zhang Yi were chatting about the play, waiting for the weather to improve.

The windy weather, although the scenery is indeed a bit like Mars, but the crew did not use the windy weather to shoot.

Because there are too many uncontrollable factors in this kind of weather, the crew used large hair dryers to create the super storm on Mars.

In the later stage, CG synthesis will be used to form a realistic Martian dust storm scene.

On the other hand, it is also for the safety of crew members.

During the past few days, there was a sudden wind during the shooting, and five or six unlucky people got lost in the sand and dust.

Although it was found in the end, if it cannot be found, it will be troublesome for the crew.

This is also the reason why the development of Mangya is difficult. The environment here is indeed a bit harsh, and the windy weather is like hell.

Timid people generally dare not come.

Even those who are daring to explore by self-driving tour have to be fully prepared before they dare to come here to experience the vast and boundless beauty.
