my movie years

Chapter 275

After Zhang Hao's speech, Teacher Xiao Sa returned to the stage.

"Thanks again to director Zhang Hao for bringing us a wonderful lecture, thank you." Amid the applause, Teacher Xiao Sa continued:

"Director Zhang Hao shared with us a lot of his experiences and stories, of course I believe that he still has many stories that he hasn't told us.

But because of the limited time of the program, it is impossible for us to finish all Zhang Hao's stories.But I believe that your story should be many, many from small to large. "

"Yes," Zhang Hao nodded and said, "There are too many interesting stories."

"Too many interesting stories," Mr. Sa smiled and said, holding an inscription card, "When you were sharing the story, many people wrote small notes and wanted to ask you some questions."

"So you are so inattentive in class, aren't you?" Zhang Hao joked.

The students laughed softly, and Teacher Xiao Sa said, "They are expressing their feelings..."

"Really? Very good, they are all good classmates."

"You can ask any question, right?" Teacher Xiao Sa asked.

"Uh, let's filter it too..." Zhang Hao's words made everyone laugh.

"Okay, the first question, what is the biggest difficulty you have encountered since filming?" Teacher Xiao Sa asked the small note.

Zhang Hao thought for a while and said, "I think it should be the time to shoot "Gravity"."

"Oh? Why, can you tell us?"

Zhang Hao briefly explained: "At that time, everyone knew that I had just finished the "Batman: Begins" project and also trained the team.

However, there are still many unexpected troubles and difficulties in the preparation process, such as how to realize the simulation of the space environment and how to let the actors perform immersively. "

"Isn't there green screen technology?" Teacher Xiao Sa asked.

"Yes, but there are two problems. The first is the green screen special effects technology, which is actually higher than the cost of shooting a model of my spacecraft and space station."

"Wow..." The students couldn't believe it.

"Don't think I'm talking nonsense, it's true." Zhang Hao raised his finger and said, "Anyone who has experience in CG special effects knows that each frame is actually burned out with money.

So it's not that I want to shoot in real life, but because I really can't save money, so I have to use real shooting plus CG to make it. "

"It turns out that there are so many stories in it, so what about the second reason?"

"The second reason is the performance of Da Mi Mi. Have you all watched "Gravity"?"

"Seen……"

Zhang Hao was very satisfied, gave a thumbs up to encourage, and then continued: "Actually, I have visited the shooting site of Marvel movies. As far as I know, all their scenes are now shot with green screen lenses.

In the latest Marvel movie, none of the scenes are shot on-site, and all use green screen technology.

This puts high demands on actors, because in the past you had to imagine robots, spaceships, and space.

Now also imagine the city, imagine cafes, streets, parks, etc.

I have always emphasized that the performance itself is to become the person in the film, so my approach is different from that of Marvel. I will try my best to create an environment for the actors to blend in and complete the performance. "

Teacher Xiao Sa took the lead in applauding: "This is Director Zhang Hao's filmmaking concept. We have also collected some photos of Director Zhang Hao's crew on the set. You can take a look."

As he said that, several stills and behind-the-scenes photos of "The Martian" were released on the large LED screen.

"Director Zhang Hao can tell us what these machines are for."

"Of course." Zhang Hao pointed to a tall machine on the screen and introduced: "This is the Titan camera developed by me and my photography team. It can move according to the preset program and take the shots we want."

In the next photo, Zhang Hao continued to introduce: "This is a drone photography system, which was jointly developed by us, DJI UAV and IMAX.

Instead of renting a helicopter for hand-held shooting, drones can carry bulky IMAX cameras and shoot remotely. "

"Are these techniques used by other crews besides yours?"

"Of course, in fact, director James Cameron intends to use these new technologies when he is preparing for "Avatar 2".

Director Guo Fan is also preparing for the filming of "Flow Earth", and also uses these mature systems. "Zhang Hao said.

"It can be seen that director Zhang Hao really plays with technology. He develops technology that can be used by Chinese film directors and even Hollywood film directors." Teacher Xiao Sa made a summary.

Next, Zhang Hao introduced the studios in Qingdao successively: "The construction of this studio started when "Gravity" was filmed.

At present, it is the largest and widest studio in the world. We filmed the Martian storm in this studio, as well as part of the scenes of the Mars capsule. "

Zhang Hao also introduced the design of the Mars capsule, the manufacture of the Mars rover, and some art atlases.

Teacher Xiao Sa was full of admiration: "These art setting atlases look beautiful, do you have any ideas for publication?"

"If everyone wants to read it, of course it can be published." Zhang Hao said.

"Do you want to see it?"

"Want to see..."

After answering two more questions and three questions from netizens, the interactive session of the small note officially ended.

Next, it was the turn of the eight youth representatives.

This session has always been interesting, because the youth delegates can always raise a lot of controversial issues.

For example, this one: "Hello Director Zhang Hao, Hello Teacher Xiao Sa, my name is Lei Xiaojun, and I am also a director now.

I would like to ask Director Zhang Hao, many people, including me, think that your films are too commercial and not artistic enough.

How do you think about this..."

Teacher Xiao Sa could not bear the words: "You must not have watched "The Dark Knight" or "The Undertaker."

Lei Xiaojun blushed and argued forcefully: "But the box office of these films is too high..."

Teacher Xiao Sa still wanted to say, but was stopped by Zhang Hao: "Let me answer your question, what do you think art is? Have you thought about this question?"

"This..." Lei Xiaojun can certainly answer many questions, ranging from the European Renaissance to the present.

But now on this occasion, he already felt the fiery eyes of his classmates behind him, so he couldn't answer.

Zhang Hao continued: "We return to the film itself, and there is indeed a saying in film art.

But I think, just representing my point of view, I don't think an art form can be divorced from the masses.

If a movie cannot be recognized by the people, and you think it is a high-level art, what is the value of such a movie? "

"Then, those comedies and youthful vulgar movies that get high box office are also a kind of film art?" Lei Xiaojun was not convinced.

Some people may be surprised, Zhang Hao is a great director, this Lei Xiaojun doesn't know how to embarrass Zhang Hao, what if Zhang Hao cleans him up?Has he not considered this?

In fact, it is also understandable, just like reflecting on the hatred of the Kuomintang, some people always think that everyone is drunk and I am sober, and there is a feeling of detachment from the world.

Even a great director like Zhang Hao is mediocre in the eyes of these people.

There are many art monsters on the Internet, citing various analysis and evidence, just to prove that Zhang Hao is actually a rather mediocre director.

It's just that I ran into an art monster at the scene today, nothing surprising.

Teacher Xiao Sa smoothed things over and said, "You're changing the concept secretly. Alright, you can sit down now, classmate."

Lei Xiaojun sat down resentfully, judging from his expression, he was obviously not convinced.In fact, he secretly had fun in his heart, because he made money in this wave.

If he hadn't been cut out after the show aired, then he would have gained a lot of popularity.

These days, if there is heat and traffic, there will be ways to realize it, all of which are means.

Next, the second youth representative asked a question: "Director Zhang Hao, now there are a lot of small fresh meat traffic florets flooding the film and television industry.

These fresh meat florets have the highest pay, but have contributed so many bad works. How do you view this phenomenon? "

What do you think, just sit and watch!

After thinking about it, Zhang Hao still replied: "Have you ever thought about it, it's actually a problem with the director and the investor."

The youth representative was stunned: "Do they have any questions?"

"Of course there are problems," Zhang Hao said, "Many times, the investors are quite blind, and many directors are also mentally ill."

Teacher Xiao Sa was sweating coldly, thinking, a great director is a great director, and he dares to say things that others dare not say.

It is true that with the rise of traffic fresh meat florets, many actors of the older generation are not used to it. Some of them are sincere critics, and some are purely jealous, so let's not mention it for now.

But the strange thing is that when these older generation actors criticized the traffic fresh meat Xiaohua for being undedicated and hardworking, they kept silent to the director and investors behind it.

But Zhang Hao is not afraid. With his current status, he has reached the stage where it is okay to be outspoken.

Do those directors and investors still dare to stand up?Isn't this the same as admitting that you are blind and mentally ill?
Zhang Hao continued: "Reba, do you know that?"

"Know……"

"She is a signed artist under my company, and she is also very popular. She has a small traffic flow. She has performed well in my movies, and her acting is remarkable.

But when it came to other crews, it was such a mess that I couldn't watch it.

I won't talk about the specific crew, just to save face. "

Teacher Xiao Sa is already sweating profusely. Director Zhang Hao... No, Brother Zhang Hao, are you saving face?
"I was wondering, this is not right, Reba's acting is not bad, why is it so bad in other crews.

So I asked her what was going on, and she was also very wronged. She explained that she didn't think it was right, and wanted to perform the trick a few more times.

But the director said it was ok, and refused to take more shots, and even disliked her for delaying the shooting time.

Reba saw the perfunctory attitude of the people around him, so he simply smashed the jars and smashed them. "

This is the first time for the students to hear this kind of story, and from this perspective, they can understand why the business level of fresh meat and flowers is so low.

Even if you don't have enough talent and work hard enough, even if you can't become an actor, you can at least watch it.

But in such a loose and less demanding environment, even if there are popular fresh meat florets who want to work hard, they will be worn away by the environment.

What's more, laziness is a common problem for most people.

The traffic fresh meats have never discovered that the environment is so good. You don't need to work hard, you just need to show your face, you will have a lot of money, you have a lot of stupid fans, and you can even talk to fans...

The recording of this episode of "Let's Talk" ended smoothly, and overall it went smoothly.

After the end, Teacher Xiao Sa invited Zhang Hao to have a meal of Yang Ma's work meal, which tasted pretty good.Regarding the part about Lei Xiaojun, the director asked Zhang Hao if he needed to cut it.

Zhang Hao waved his hand and said, "No, doesn't he want to be famous? We want to fulfill him, but we just hope that he can bear these pressures."

Teacher Xiao Sa had a strange look on his face, and Zhang Hao couldn't tell that Zhang Hao was still very dark.

He could even imagine the scene where Lei Xiaojun was overwhelmed by thousands of fans of Zhang Hao after the show was broadcast.

As Zhang Hao said, the benefits are great, but the corresponding risks must also be borne.
