Chapter 259 "The Martian" Technology Development

When participating in variety shows, Da Mi Mi did not forget to share some interesting stories filmed in "The Martian".

Although the film is still being filmed, Tianmi Film and Television Production Company releases some stills through the official blog from time to time to attract attention.

However, it is still useful for the proprietress Da Mi Mi to come out on the show. She casually reveals an 'exclusive' insider information on the show, and it will be on the top of the list, which can be regarded as creating enough momentum for "The Martian".

In addition, Da Mi Mi was also invited to participate in the National Drama Festival of Huitai.

Although the focus of Da Mi Mi's career has been on movies in the past few years, the TV dramas he starred in are also good, and they are basically blockbusters.

Film and television amphibious, and have made achievements.

But the national drama festival, everyone who understands it, is an award for sharing cakes. Since Da Mi Mi attended, he will not return empty-handed.

In addition, Da Mi Mi also plans to hold a charity auction.

This year she served as the China Charity Ambassador, and also established a charity foundation with Zhang Hao, which is considered a normal public activity.

At that time, Zhang Hao will also take the time to attend and contribute a few items of his own to the auction.

Another thing was done by Da Mimi instead of Zhang Hao, and attended the inauguration ceremony of Zhang Hao's wax figure in Madame Tussauds Shanghai.

Originally, in July this year, Lu Xiaohan's wax figure had already been completed, but as the most influential film director, Zhang Hao's wax figure has not been heard for a long time.

So Zhang Hao's fans and fans took advantage of Lu Xiaohan's fans to criticize each other, and by the way, rushed Madame Tussauds.

Madame Tussauds was aggrieved and defended itself on Weibo.

It's not that they don't make wax figures for Zhang Hao, they have been in contact with Zhang Hao as early as 2013.But Zhang Hao felt that this matter was meaningless, so he never agreed.

Until recently, under the persuasion of Da Mi Mi, Zhang Hao finally authorized Madame Tussauds to make wax figures.

As a result, on the day when the wax figure was completed, Zhang Hao didn't even intend to attend.

If it weren't for Da Mimi's face, Madame Tussauds would not have asked the media to report and hype the wax figure of Zhang Hao.

In fact, Zhang Hao really didn't care.

It is indeed an honor for celebrities to be stationed in Madame Tussauds, but recently there have been many people stationed here, and many traffic stars can be selected, resulting in a bit of depreciation.

He didn't need the approval of Madame Tussauds, so the enthusiasm was not high.

While Zhang Hao was busy filming "The Martian" and Mi Mi was busy with announcements and commercial activities, the American Film and TV Golden Globe Awards and the Academy Awards announced the nomination list one after another.

"The Dark Knight" directed by Zhang Hao was shortlisted for three Golden Globe Awards, including the best film in the drama category. Needless to say, being nominated is already a strong PR of Warner Bros.

There is also Best Supporting Actor, Heath Ledger has great hopes, and his Joker is so amazing.Deserves a nomination.

It is worth mentioning that Heath Ledger did not die after playing the Joker, and is still alive and well.

Previously, Heath Ledger planned to travel with his family to China and visit Zhang Hao by the way, but due to the schedule, the trip did not take place.

However, Heath Ledger will also guest star in "The Martian" with Michael Caine in the future, playing the representative of NASA.

The third nomination is for Best Score, The Dark Knight score is truly epic, magnificent, and Hans Zimmer has done an amazing job.

On the Oscar side, apart from the nominations for Best Supporting Actor, the rest are basically technical awards.

Although "The Dark Knight" has reached the artistic ceiling of super-British movies, those old-fashioned Oscars still haven't changed their prejudice against superhero movies.

What's more, such a film is actually made by a Chinese director, which is too wrong.

So in the eyes of these old men, nominations for technical awards are already encouraging "The Dark Knight", and don't think about other awards.

Warner Pictures also asked Zhang Hao if he had time to attend the two award ceremonies early next year, but Zhang Hao refused because he was busy with work.

He was really busy, the kind that kept his feet on the ground.

Jinchang Mars Base, the crew entered a very smooth shooting state, Zhang Yi's personal one-man show was very well handled, and the performance was excellent.

When I was acting to deal with my abdominal scar, it felt like I was really injured, and the crew members present felt that they were in great pain.

After that, I stayed in front of the computer with a quilt on, watching the pressure indicator of the Mars base, and watching the Martian storm raging outside the window.

Zhang Yi has brought this feeling of loneliness to the show very well, and the subtle changes in facial expressions are very good.

In many scenes, Zhang Hao was shot upside down, which was not coherent.But for a qualified actor, this is nothing.

Just finished the performance of loneliness, and now Zhang Yi is videotaping in front of the monitoring system of the Mars base.

Seeing the camera system turned on, Ma Juemin, played by Zhang Yi, put on a sheet and began to speak: "Okay, this is the Chinese Mars base, and I am Ma Juemin, an astronaut."

During the performance, Zhang Yi had a slight gasp and a feeling of uneasiness.

"I'm recording this diary now because I think that in case I can't survive..." Ma Juemin wanted to say a lot but couldn't say it. He didn't want to die yet, and he didn't want to say his last words so early.

After a long sigh of relief, Ma Juemin said: "It is now 19:6 on the 53th Martian day, I am still alive, it is obvious.

But I guess it's going to be a surprise for my teammates and the space agency, and for the world.so……"

Ma Juemin was silent for a while, and forced a smile: "Surprise! I didn't die in No. 18 sun days.

My guess is that the piece of the comm antenna snapped and pierced my vitals monitor, leaving a hole in my stomach.

But the antennae and the bleeding that sealed the gap in the suit kept me alive, even though the crew must have thought I was dead. "

After talking about the reasons for his survival, Ma Juemin began to analyze his chances of surviving on Mars.

Zhang Yi also asked Zhang Hao before filming whether the idea of ​​the antenna and blood coagulation sealing the gap in the spacesuit and allowing the astronauts to survive was reasonable.

Zhang Hao's answer was simple: "This is an unfalsifiable question. The guidance experts of our space agency believe that there is a certain chance, but the conditions are extremely harsh."

In fact, Zhang Hao already plans to cooperate with the space agency to write a popular science book "Guide to Surviving Mars".

After the film is released, this popular science book will be based on the plot of the film. In the book, why the astronaut Ma Juemin can survive on Mars is not a fantasy, but a certain imagination with theoretical basis.

To put it bluntly, the story itself is reasonable and worthy of scrutiny. It has fantasy elements, but it is all based on realistic scientific theories and will not exceed too much.

This kind of science fiction film is called near-future science fiction film, which is the foreseeable future of human beings.

The world in 100 years is a bit unpredictable, and things in a thousand years are impossible to predict, but the world in a few decades can still be predicted based on existing scientific models.

Zhang Yi's performance continues;
"I couldn't get in touch with the space agency, and even if I could, it would be four years before a manned space mission came to me.

The habitat I'm in is set to last 31 days, and if the oxygenator fails, I'll suffocate.

If the water dispenser fails, I'll die of thirst.

If the Hab fails, I'm going to have my guts explode.

If, by some miracle, none of the above happens, I'll still end up running out of food and starving to death. "

Ma Juemin's expression was complicated, and he had already thought of a hundred ways to die in the fire: "So, yes, that's it, that's it..."

Facing the camera, there were no cuts or edits, just like a documentary record, Zhang Yi performed exactly what Zhang Hao wanted.

This episode, which is equivalent to a monologue, is done very well.

But after coming down, Zhang Yi had some doubts.

"This line is so difficult to understand. I feel ashamed to say some lines that I don't understand myself!"

Zhang Hao patted Zhang Yi on the shoulder and said, "It's okay, actually I don't understand either. These lines were deliberated with experts from the space agency to conform to scientific principles."

In fact, many scenes in "The Martian" were imagined by Zhang Hao, and then he asked scientists to deduce the scientific nature of them.

When making a film, Zhang Hao must first consider that this is a big commercial production, and then other things.

There must be some scientifically determinable parts, but the first thing to satisfy is an interesting movie.Otherwise, just make it into a science and education film.

Spend 6.5 million production costs to make a boring science and education film. Unless Zhang Hao goes crazy, he won't do that.

Zhang Yi did a good job in this performance.

But the processing of sound effects in the later stage is the key.

The changing lighting in the background, the creaking of the Mars base in the storm, and Ma Juemin's voice all had to be processed.

Many people probably know a little knowledge point, that is, the voice we hear is different from what others hear.

This is due to the difference in the medium of sound transmission. The sound heard by oneself is more bone-borne, while the sound heard by others is air-borne.

Similarly, the human voice will also change through electronic conduction.

Therefore, the technology of sound effects is also an important point. In "Gravity", the team already had a lot of experience.

Recently, the sound effect teams of Tiangong Yicai Studio and Moon Palace Studio have developed a new technology, which collects the real voices of actors on the spot, and uses this brand new technology to produce sound effects during post-production.

In addition, Moon Palace Studio also brought surprises to Zhang Hao. They have recently recruited troops on Hong Kong Island, and they are already strong.

Among them, Bai Xia recruited many engineers for facial expression processing to join the team through his connections.

Now the team is developing a facial simulation technology, and it is applied to Ma Juemin, played by Zhang Yi, to reflect the changes in his weight through facial changes.

The application prospect of this technology is very broad. For example, an actor in his 40s playing himself at the age of 20 used to solve the problem by means of makeup.

But now with this technology, you can find this state and feeling, but what is needed is a change in the actor's mentality.

In fact, similar technologies have been developed by world-class special effects companies long ago, but as the old saying goes, there are some, but they will not be used for nothing.

Therefore, the lines of "Turn Out of the World" are well said, rather than expecting what others have to lend to oneself, it is better to have it for oneself.
