my movie years

Chapter 408: Making Great Contributions in the Cornfield
The film shot a large number of scenes at the Qingdao Film and Television Base, and then went to Weihai for the location.

Now there are only some location scenes left, as well as the scenes with Brother Cheng Long.Although most of Big Brother's scenes are concentrated in Iceland, there are still scenes in space that need to be completed in the studio.

The well-informed brother Cheng Long has never seen anything. He has also visited the sets of top directors such as Spielberg and James Cameron.

But he has never seen a similar set on a Chinese-language film.

But this time when he participated in "Interstellar", Cheng Long said that he had experienced it. Is this how movies are made now?It feels more professional than Hollywood.

Zhang Hao explained this: "Many of our shooting techniques have never been used in Hollywood, such as the first use of robotic arms for car production, such as the Flying Cat, and that big guy.

In many technologies, we have long been far ahead, but we have not formed a scale system. "

Cheng Long said he was stunned: "It's done very well. I have been making movies for decades, and for the first time I feel like I have just joined the industry. Every technique makes me feel strange."

Brother Cheng Long is also a director himself. He has been in the industry for decades and has rich industry experience. It can surprise him. This shows that the crew of "Interstellar" is not simple.

However, Brother Cheng Long was a little dissatisfied with the role he played, and he actually looked like a villain.

"Can you change the play for me? I want to be a decent person, but this doesn't look like a good person!" Brother Cheng Long discussed with Zhang Hao.

Zhang Hao smiled bitterly and said: "Brother, we are halfway through the filming. It is too late to change the script now."

"I know, but it doesn't look like a good guy. I think it damages my image." The eldest brother has always been a good guy in recent years and has never played a villain-like guest role.

However, Zhang Hao still persuaded his eldest brother: "It doesn't matter. At worst, how about I let you be the protagonist next time?"

Brother Cheng Long's eyes lit up: "Hey, this is okay, let's just say it, I remember it all!"

"I will never forget it, don't worry!"

With Zhang Hao's commitment, Brother Cheng Long took on the role with confidence.Brother Cheng Long doesn't have many roles, he mainly plays opposite Hua Zai.

Brother Cheng Long and Andy Lau have collaborated in seven movies before, and this is their eighth collaboration.

Brother Cheng Long also lamented Andy's good luck: "Wa Jai, you are so lucky to be able to work with director Xiao Zhang. If I were ten years younger, I would definitely compete to play the leading role."

This sounded a bit jealous, but Andy didn't care. Instead, he smiled and said, "It's really good luck. This is my third time working with the director. His scenes are really good."

It's true that after seeing the script of "Interstellar", Brother Cheng Long couldn't help but marvel, why couldn't such a story be thought of before?

But even if I come up with it, I don't have the skills to make it. After all, even though it is an ordinary movie, the industrial content is not low.

For example, the scene where the spacecraft exploded and docked was shot with a miniature model. The angle of the explosion and the angle of the camera were rotated to shoot.

Even though it hasn't been released in theaters yet, watching this scene alone makes you feel very nervous.

After the explosion and docking scenes were filmed, the actors went into the one-to-one model of the spaceship to shoot the scenes before the explosion.

"Don't try to connect, say it again, don't try to connect, please come back..." The doctor played by Cheng Long turned off the voice intercom.

Below the spaceship is a frozen planet, a frozen planet that can really be seen, not a green screen. In front of it is the vast expanse of space, and there are black holes.

All this is very immersive, because it is not a green screen, but a wide and ultra-clear large screen, on which the space scene created by the special effects team is played.

Later, through refined editing, the entire shot will be integrated into one.

"The automatic docking program is not responding."

"neglect……"

"You do not have this permission."

"neglect……"

"You do not have this permission."

After some operations failed, the doctor planned to manually operate the docking program himself, while Chen Fei kept calling on the other side.

Although this scene was shot separately, the atmosphere during the filming was extremely tense. It was not because I was afraid of not getting a good shot, but because I was driven by the plot.

The actors gave full play to their acting skills, and everyone contributed super-high-quality performances.

"Dr. Lu Xinru? I don't know what he told you, but now I will take control of the Yugong immediately, and then we will talk about completing the mission."

"Doctor, please listen to me..." During Brother Cheng Long's performance, Da Mi Mi took the script to play with Brother Cheng Long offsite.The doctor interrupted Lu Xinru: "This is not about my life or Chen Fei's life, but about all mankind. One day..."

Before he finished speaking, there was a scene of the spaceship exploding.

When Andy and Da Mi Mi came over, as soon as Da Mi Mi finished his lines, they saw the spaceship suddenly explode.At this time, a bird's-eye view is interspersed, showing a large and small spaceship on the frozen planet. This is the only hope.

"Oh my god..." The two actors performed well, showing the panic-stricken expression after being stunned for a moment.

After a brief panic, Chen Fei recovered and started the spacecraft.Lu Xinru looked at Chen Fei in surprise, wondering what he was going to do.

At this time, the robot Wangcai said: "Chen Fei, don't waste fuel on chasing."

Chen Fei didn't care: "Analyze the Yugong's rotation for me."

"Chen Fei, what are you going to do?"

"Docking..."

Next is a space docking scene that will go down in film history. The entire docking scene has been filmed, and all that is left is the actors’ performances.

However, in order to make the actors' performances more realistic, the produced docking shots will be placed on the set where the actors perform.

Then, through the control of the mechanical arm, the spacecraft where the actors are located is controlled to rotate.

But during the whole process of flying over, the actors' spaceship actually stayed in place, but the scene of the Yugong was flying towards the spacecraft.

I have to say that it is still useful to receive training from the space agency in the early preparations. Otherwise, in this scene, Andy and Da Mi would have to vomit out their overnight meal.

Although this big scene only lasts ten minutes in the film, it took the crew a full week to shoot.

After that, Zhang Yi, Wu Jing, and Mr. Li Xuejian, who played the role of the old doctor, were all announced to be finished. The three of them took a photo with Zhang Hao, which was then posted on the official account by the crew.

To this day, the media and netizens are most curious about what Zhang Hao was photographing.

Some netizens had previously shared that the crew seemed to have burned down a cornfield while filming.

However, the previously released black hole stills left netizens confused as to what the connection between cornfields and black holes is, and what kind of movie this is.

After Lu Zihong finished shooting in the cornfield, he asked Zhang Hao what to do with the cornfield. Zhang Hao replied casually: "It would be a pity to just pull it out. It's better to wait until it matures and then sell it!"

Well, it was just a mouthful at the top, but a broken leg at the bottom, so Lu Zihong turned into a farmer again and protected the growth of the cornfield.

When he shared his experience online, netizens burst into laughter.

"Be reasonable and ask me to farm. I won't do it. Farming is too hard."

"Director Zhang is asking you to experience life, take advantage of it!"

"Hahaha, that's awesome. Why didn't I think of it? It's an alternative way to get rich."

Not to mention, as soon as the news was announced, a grain dealer who purchased corn actually contacted Lu Zihong and said that he wanted to eat this batch of corn.

The grain dealer's idea is also easy to figure out. When the time comes to resell it, he will say that this batch of corn is from Zhang Hao's crew, and someone will definitely buy it.

In this regard, Zhang Hao's instruction is that you can buy it at the market price.The buyer must also sell according to the market price when selling, and must not be higher than the market price.

This is easy to understand. After all, they are from my crew. If you sell a piece of corn for 100 yuan, maliciously drive up prices and engage in a fan economy, wouldn't it ruin my reputation?
Although it was a pity that Zhang Hao saw through his idea, the grain merchants did not give up.

The market price is money. At the same price, your corn is ordinary corn, but mine is science fiction corn, from the famous Zhang Hao crew.

If you think about it with your toes, you will know who sells it best.

So, the matter of generating income from the corn field was decided, and all that was left was to wait for the corn to mature and be harvested.

The domestic film crew has a lot of experience, and they have never thought of farming for the sake of filming.What’s more, I didn’t expect that the land I planted would eventually be harvested and sold for money.

Although it’s not much, it’s interesting to watch and a great source of conversation!

In terms of publicity, this can also fully stimulate the curiosity of movie fans.After all, for a crew that can grow land and sell corn, everyone will be curious about what kind of show it is.

In this respect, cornfields have done a great job.
