Chapter 269 Exclusive Behind the Scenes
In addition to accepting interviews and explaining his own filmmaking philosophy.

Zhang Hao also teamed up with Penguin to set up a film and television industry website.

On this website, various details of the production of "Gravity" and behind-the-scenes production tidbits of "The Martian" were released.

The establishment of this website is more to complete the tasks explained above.

As a super director, unlike others, Zhang Hao bears a lot of responsibility.

For example, his crew's film talent training base is also one of the demonstration sites for the industrialization of Chinese films.

Of course, it's not without benefits. Zhang Hao's movies have always had tax-free quotas, which can be regarded as a reward for Zhang Hao.

On the film industry website, "The Martian" released for the first time various details of the Mars base and the interior of the Mars rover.

There are also interviews with the engineers and technicians who made these, allowing movie fans to understand in detail how a super big production is made with care.

As Zhang Hao said in the "Face to Face" interview, the details are refined, the production process is standardized, and a good story is matched.

This is the beauty of film industry art, a dream-making journey that makes people linger and forget.

A certain director who was about to take over the project of "Shanghai Fortress" wanted to learn how the best directors of science fiction films in China currently produce, so he entered the film industry website to see the behind-the-scenes knowledge.

In a video, the director saw some behind-the-scenes productions explained by Zhang Hao himself.

Tianmi Film and Television Production Company has the best creative environment in China.

In the video, we can see how the Mars base and the construction of the Martian environment appear on the manuscript paper in the design of the art team, and how the manuscript paper is turned into reality.

According to the website of the film and television industry, the initial design draft was designed and completed by the art studio of Tianmi Film and Television Production Company in Kunming.

Then it was transferred to the Beijing headquarters, and cooperated with the Central Academy of Fine Arts and the Space Administration, consisting of art directors, set designers, structural consultants, art directors and expert guides.

Although the film shot a large number of exterior scenes in Jinchang and Mangya, and built a special Mars base, many scenes were completed in the studio in Qingdao.

The film industry website also released various Martian landscapes that have not been dismantled inside the studio, which is quite spectacular.

This Mars simulation studio has just been built. Unlike Fengtian's two studios converted from hangars, this studio is professionally built.

This is currently the largest professional studio in the world, covering an area of ​​about 6000 square meters, which is as large as the Fox producer's studio used by Zhang Hao's "The Dark Knight".

But it's much taller, and has wider, more orthogonal proportions than that, making for the film's massive Martian surface landscape.

In this studio, the surface landscape of Mars is composed of [-] tons of three-color sand bodies, comparable to the exterior scenes of the Mars Base and Mangya in Jinchang.

It is large enough to accommodate the entire life module with a diameter of 40 meters, including its attached habitation module and roof 360° all-round rotating radar.

At the same time, the entire set was reproduced in Jinchang for location shooting.

In fact, however, the exterior Mars base in Jinchang was retained as an important scenic spot for local cultural and tourism projects, as well as a cooperation site for the Mars Research Center of the Space Administration.

The studio's Mars base ended its mission after filming, and demolition work began after the film was transferred to post-production.

The person in charge of this film and television base also introduced the advantages of the studio: "During the initial construction, Director Zhang Hao put forward very high standards, and we all worked hard to do a good job in these aspects.

The vast studio allows the 100-centimeter-long Mars rover to drive freely from one end of the studio to the other at 25 kilometers per hour, and then turn around and run again for a second shot.

In addition, there is enough distance to hit a single light source to simulate the sunlight in the universe, and at the same time, it can evenly illuminate the world's largest circular green screen, about 68000 square meters.

The last thing is to simulate the Martian storm. The special effects department has enough space to arrange a group of powerful fans.

This set of fans can evenly blow tons of dust and microcrystalline particles to form a real Martian dust storm. "

Because of the successful start, the studio in Qingdao has received many orders from crews and finally started operation.

Studios are evolving, and film industry websites are no exception.

These industry insiders that outsiders cannot see are published on this website, so it attracts a large number of industry insiders.

Even netizens have entered this website in large numbers, searching for a series of interesting technical topics.

The website also opens a discussion forum, providing membership registration and other services.

As of February 2th, before New Year's Eve, there have been more than 8 registered members, making it the website with the most registered members among film professional websites.

According to the traditional approach, what Zhang Hao should do is to protect these technologies and prevent others from learning them.

But it’s not the case. In fact, if you want to learn, you’ve learned it a long time ago. Hollywood next door does it all the time. It’s no longer an industry secret.

After reading the information on the entire website, the director who planned to direct "Shanghai Fortress" told the investor that he could not do what Zhang Hao did.

He didn't know how Zhang Hao designed and completed these complicated workflows. He thought it was simply impossible for a human to do it.

Not only this director, but many people who visited Zhang Hao's crew for the first time said that Zhang Hao's crew is different from other crews.

It is more professional, more standardized and more enthusiastic here.

Therefore, the so-called film industry is not just talking about it, but needs to take practical actions.At least in the Chinese movie circle, no one can play this game except Zhang Hao.

At the same time, the space agency cooperated with publicity and released the design drawings of the Wentian spacecraft designed by the space agency, as well as the physical construction model.

Tianmi Film and Television Production Company thanked the space agency for its support on Weibo, and "The Martian" also released the first trailer.

In this way, the sci-fi enthusiasm for domestic films that has gradually faded since the release of "Gravity" was revived this time.

Countless movie fans are looking forward to it, waiting for the film to be released.

Tianmi Film and Television Production Company also announced the schedule, and the film will land in theaters on April 4.

As soon as the schedule was announced, many films originally planned to be scheduled for this schedule shifted their schedules one after another in order to avoid a head-on collision with "The Martian".

The most obvious one is "Captain America 3", which was originally planned to be released in mainland China on April 4th, but now it has been postponed for a week and moved to May 29th.

However, it is too early to talk about things in April.

The most important schedule now is actually the Spring Festival. This Spring Festival has once again given birth to a box office myth, and the first domestic film with a box office breakthrough of 30 billion appeared.

No need to guess, it is "The Mermaid" directed by Master Xing.

The film stars Deng Chao, Zhang Yuqi, Lin Yun and others.The first day of the Lunar New Year happens to be Monday, which completely covers the entire Spring Festival schedule.

As a result, the film slashed 18.19 billion box office in the first week, breaking the domestic film's first-week box office record created by "Gravity".

This result can be said to be quite against the sky. Compared with the cost, the film is really profitable.

But this is not the end, "The Mermaid" continues to set records, breaking through 20 billion soon, and heading towards 30 billion at the box office.

In contrast, "Journey to the West: Three Fights of the Bones" pales in comparison, although the film also took in 7.68 million in its first week at the box office.

This Spring Festival file can be said to belong to Xingye, and it also proves the potential of the Spring Festival file, which makes more companies focus on this schedule.

It should be said that starting from this year, the Spring Festival stalls have replaced the Lunar New Year stalls and become the most important schedule of the year.
