Chapter 409 The Vicious Vision

After finishing all the scenes in the studio of Qingdao Film and Television Base, the crew moved to Iceland for filming. The main scenes here were with Brother Cheng Long and Hua Tsai.

The entire frozen planet scene was shot in Iceland, in a very familiar location, Wagner Glacier.

The special effects team also works here. Iceland has vast glaciers, and the black volcanic rocks make the ground smooth and full of lines. This black and white contrast forms a unique land landscape.

But Zhang Hao decided to modify the entire scene with digital special effects because he didn't want the audience to recognize that it was shot on Earth.

He wanted the frozen planet to look completely different from the glaciers on Earth, so the special effects engineers made a lot of modifications to the aerial footage of Iceland to give the scene a more exotic feel.

In fact, at the beginning, the filming location selected by the crew was on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, but when they went to inspect it, most of the crew suffered from altitude sickness.

Coupled with transportation difficulties, large equipment could not get in, so we had to go to Iceland to shoot.

Relatively speaking, the environment in Iceland is not that harsh, but there are still many accidents.

For example, one day while filming, a strong wind suddenly blew up and blew away several tents that had been set up.The crew had to suspend filming and look for leeward slopes to withstand the strong wind.

After the strong wind ended, the prop master inspected and discovered that several scenes were damaged and needed to be rebuilt.However, during the construction process, strong winds suddenly started blowing again, and the construction work had to be suspended.

After this, the sky became dark, so the crew had no choice but to end the day's shooting and return to the hotel to rest.

However, this is not the biggest difficulty. Problems with equipment and venues can be solved, but the human body cannot.

Because of this lack of shooting experience, Da Mi Mi suffered from hypothermia during filming, although Da Mi Mi insisted on filming again and again.

But Zhang Hao, who felt sorry for his wife, still suspended her role and let her star in the IV drip.

But unexpectedly, within a few days, both Andy and Cheng Long had problems one after another, and many people on the crew suffered from seasonal colds.

The ill-prepared crew suddenly came to a standstill. As a last resort, Zhang Hao had to announce a suspension of filming to allow the crew members to recover.

How can you make a good movie without a good body?

Zhang Hao hopes that everyone will be healthy after filming.

While eating desserts by the stove, Da Mi Mi, whose body had recovered a little, Hua Zai, brother Cheng Long and Zhang Hao looked at the beautiful scenery of the glacier in the distance and chatted.

"Hey, if one day something like this really happens to the earth, will you go on such a no-return adventure for the sake of mankind?" Andy asked.

Da Mi Mi thought for a moment and said, "Of course you can. The premise is that you must be with Zhang Hao, otherwise I won't go."

"What about the child?"

Da Mi Mi tilted his head and said, "Just stay on Earth until we solve the problem."

Ping An and Shi Shi were far away in the capital, and they suddenly felt bad. My mother was going to elope with my father!
Brother Cheng Long said: "I will choose to stay on the earth. It is hard to leave my homeland. There is no better place than this.

What about you, Xiaozhang? "

Zhang Hao shrugged and said: "I prefer the obstacles on the earth, they are touchable. I have a concept of them, and I also feel something about death here."

"It seems that you are also an Earth sect, just like me." Brother Cheng Long smiled.

Andy suddenly remembered something: "Speaking of the earth, can Guo Fan's "The Wandering Earth" be included in this film?"

"This is different," Zhang Hao shook his head and explained: "The wandering earth's world view is that there is something wrong with the sun.

In our film, there are problems with oxygen and food on the earth. If these two problems are not solved, it will be useless to move the earth anywhere.

Therefore, we still need to find new habitable planets and regain oxygen and food. "

In fact, there is a problem here. Since a blight has appeared that is so severe that humans cannot solve it, at the end of the film, when humans move to the space station, aren’t they also affected by the blight?
There are many solutions to this problem. Oxygen can be obtained through industrial means, as long as the scale is not a problem.

Fusarium wilt can be regarded as an infectious disease. As long as all aerobic plants are exterminated on the earth, it is equivalent to cutting off the source of infection.

Or you can think of blight as a killer of aerobic plants, creating a living space for anaerobic organisms.

But when humans move to the space station, as long as they do a good job of inspection, they can prevent the blight from spreading to the space station.

Besides, another point should be taken into consideration: the development of science is due to the progress of basic science.Whenever basic science reaches a major breakthrough, it is a moment when human science advances by leaps and bounds.

Chen Murphy obtained the data sent back by his father in the black hole, which led to the rapid development of basic science and the development of other sciences.Maybe by the time Chen Fei comes back from the black hole, mankind will have eliminated the blight. However, it will take time for the earth to restore its ecological environment, so it is necessary to live in the space station.

Of course, this is just an extended reverie of the film, leaving room for the audience to think. The main story still revolves around Chen Fei and his daughter.

From this aspect, Zhang Hao is very lucky that the actors he works with are all excellent.

Needless to say, veteran actor Lu Zhong, the biggest surprise came from the young actor Liu Qiqi. The scene with Andy in the bedroom made people cry.

Chen Shu, Zhang Hao's childhood goddess, is also great at acting, and she looks like a female scientist who saves all mankind.

Under the difficult environment, the crew filmed intermittently in Iceland for more than half a month before announcing the end of the Icelandic scenes, and Brother Cheng Long also successfully completed the filming.

Afterwards, the crew took the film to the Pampas grasslands of Brazil and Argentina to shoot the final scenes of the film, a new planet suitable for human habitation.

In the original film, Brand took off his helmet, breathing in the fresh air and basking in the light of the new sun.

This is good, but Nolan's location selection is a bit desolate, it's all rocky wasteland, and there is no sense of vitality at all.

So Zhang Hao found a place like this, with a rocky wasteland, but in the distance was a green and vibrant grassland, and beyond that was a forest and a river.

There are grasslands and forests, animals and edible plants, water and oxygen. This is a new home.

As for whether there are indigenous people or alien viruses on it, it is left to the audience to think about.

Maybe some viewers will be so imaginative that they can write a good story based on this idea, which can be considered a contribution to Chinese science fiction.

With the location scenes over, the crew returned to Qingdao Film and Television Base again to shoot the final scenes.

After all these scenes were filmed, it was already July, and the summer battle was in full swing.Among all the summer movies, one movie stands out, that is "Nezha: The Devil Boy Comes into the World".

How could Zhang Hao not notice this animated movie as someone who has been through it? He had already put people in touch with the animation producer and director Jiaozi, and invested in this movie early on.

Therefore, in the title sequence of the film, the Tianmi Film and Television Production Company's logo also appeared. Coincidentally, the production company took advantage of Zhang Hao's name and specially gave Zhang An the title of producer and producer.

Although he has three jobs, Zhang Hao only promoted it through the company's Weibo and asked Da Mi Mi to mobilize his friends, and did not do much else.

Therefore, although it was produced by Zhang Hao, it was an animated film and it was not "Bear Bears", so the film was not favored by people.

Even though the film was not well received, it made a box office of 1.44 million on the first day. Most importantly, its reputation exploded.

Due to the spread of word-of-mouth, the film took in 2.32 million on the second day. On the third day, it continued to buck the trend and took in 2.88 million at the box office. In the first week, it made 6.65 million in box office.

This is a pretty good result for an animated movie, but "Nezha: The Devil Boy Comes into the World" is still not satisfied.

In the following week, the film's box office bucked the market trend and rose several times. It even took in a box office of 3.4 million in two consecutive days on August [-]rd and [-]th.

At the end of the week, the film’s score was a jaw-dropping 23.07 billion.

This achievement created history for domestic animated films, and also broke the box office record of 15.6 billion set by "Zootopia", becoming the animated film with the highest box office in the Chinese film market.

But this is not the end yet. The film is still making great progress, accumulating box office every day at a speed that many people do not understand.

30 billion is not the end point, and even 40 billion is not a problem. Could it be that the final end point of the film is 50 billion?
You know, although Zhang Hao's arrival has brought many changes to the Chinese film industry, the one with the biggest impact was the loss of the 2 billion box office of "Wolf Warrior 50".

Currently on the box office list are Zhang Hao's "Inception" and "The Martian." If "Nezha: The Devil Boy Comes to the World" exceeds 50 billion in box office, it will really make history.

This once again confirms Zhang Hao's ruthless vision, almost any movie he casts will be a hit.

Many film investment companies are now keeping an eye on Zhang Hao. They will invest in whatever movie he invests in.

Not to mention it is quite effective, everyone has made a lot of money.

But what almost all film companies want to invest most in is Zhang Hao's own movies, which are the money-grabbing monsters.

It's a pity that Zhang Hao's partners are too defensive, occupying almost all the investment space, leaving no gaps for outsiders.

It's so irritating that such a money-spinner doesn't belong to you.
