Chapter 425: Splitting "The Wandering Earth 2"

Putting aside the issues of supercomputing and new systems, special effects engineers began to create some pictures using the experimental version of the system.

The effects of several clips are very good and quite shocking.

At the same time, the results of the actor's audition also came out.After Deng Chao's repeated assurances, Zhang Hao decided to give his good friend a chance to play the leading role.

Deng Chao cherishes this opportunity. Fortunately, the recording of his latest variety show "Hahahahaha" has been completed. Otherwise, Zhang Hao would never allow the behavior of recording a variety show and filming a movie at the same time.

Because this is a non-comedy movie, Brother Chao’s comedy talent is not used.

This is just right. Sometimes it's quite embarrassing to watch Brother Chao's comedies. He's obviously good at acting in normal movies, but he has to act in comedies, and he's not that good at all.

Of course, this cannot be blamed on Deng Chao. The general environment is such that good movies are in a state of overpopulation and it is difficult to get them.

It is a very rare opportunity to play a role in "Shadow" of the National Master.

No, he begged his grandfather to sue his grandmother, and even swore a poisonous oath, so that Zhang Hao believed that he could stay on the crew for a few months without recording variety shows and act seriously.

Huang Xuan, let’s play a villager!

He was not disappointed either. He came with the mentality of giving it a try. It would be a surprise if he succeeded, but it would be okay if he failed.

And there are supporting roles, which is pretty good.

Lao Hu's attitude is serious, but it is slightly different from the male protagonist's image.Zhang Hao revised the story and replaced the teacher who took over the role of Deng Chao.

There are not many scenes, but it represents new hope and the intention is still very good.

After Deng Chao passed the audition, he jumped three feet high and even kissed Zhang Hao on the cheek.Zhang Hao wiped his saliva in disgust, feeling happy for Deng Chao in his heart.

Although it is a little selfish, Brother Chao did get this role based on his own strength.

Deng Chao finally got the script. This was the second collaboration between Deng Chao and Zhang Hao since "The Magic".

It has been seven or eight years since the last time we collaborated, which is a very long time.

After the news about the male protagonist was confirmed, the media immediately reported it.Fans of Deng Chao are rejoicing that Chao Chao can play the leading role again.

Moreover, this is Zhang Hao’s movie!

Deng Chao, who was at work, was not idle. He began to study the script and wrote a biography of almost [-] words for Li Baoku, the character he starred in. He was very well prepared.

After the New Year's Day bell, "Country Teacher" officially started filming at the Qingdao Film and Television Base.

Before starting the filming, Zhang Hao also went to see the crew of "The Wandering Earth 2", which was currently filming the moon base scene.

"I said, Lao Guo, you have shot so much content, can you complete it in one movie? I will delete it when I see it," Zhang Hao said.

"Yes," Wu Jingye said, "I told Lao Guo before that according to the plan, the movie will last more than four hours and can be split into two movies for release."

Guo Fan's idea is this: "I just want to tell the story of the second part in one movie. Otherwise, if we separate it, the subsequent content will become "The Wandering Earth 4"."

"I think there's nothing wrong with "The Wandering Earth 4". "Star Wars" is already in its ninth installment." Wu Jing held a different opinion.

"What do you mean, Lao Zhang?" Guo Fan asked Zhang Hao.

Now, Zhang Hao can also become Lao Zhang. In terms of age, he is indeed quite suitable.

Zhang Hao pondered for a moment, and then said: "In this way, I think it is better to split it into two parts for comparison. The first part will be called "Space Elevator Crash Crisis", and the second part will be called "Moon Crash Crisis"."

"What about the schedule? What's the release schedule?"

"It's very simple. The first part will be released during the Spring Festival, and the next part will be released during the summer or National Day. This way, you don't have to give up too much content." Zhang Hao said what he was worried about: "I am mainly afraid that you will be in a movie. You cram too much into it and the audience can’t handle it. And in this way, you can expand on the content of the previous part.”

"Yes, that's what I mean too." Wu Jing agreed with Zhang Hao's idea.

Guo Fan fell into deep thought and finally had to admit that Zhang Hao and Wu Jing were right: "Okay, I'll discuss it with Gong Geer and the others to see how to change the script appropriately."

"Okay, the company will support you at any time." Zhang Hao nodded.

"Haha, as long as the money is enough." Guo Fan said with a smile, his requirements are not high, just give him the money.

Zhang Hao asked Guo Fan to split the film into two parts because he felt the length of the film was too long.Everyone in the industry knows that the length of a movie is generally between 10 minutes and 120 minutes.

Movies exceeding 120 minutes are not uncommon, but movies approaching 180 minutes are rare.

A movie of this length would be easily criticized if it were not a movie like the "Lord of the Rings" series.

The most important thing is that according to Guo Fan's idea, it is almost impossible to tell the entire prequel story within 180 minutes.

In this case, it is better to reduce the length of one video and change it to two parts.The length of a single video has decreased, but in terms of content, it has increased.

Moreover, Zhang Hao knows Guo Fan well, so the movie must be quite good.

The most important thing is that Chinese-language science fiction films are currently scarce on the market. If you want to watch domestic science fiction films, there are only a few, and you have little choice.

The filming was pretty good, so the audience naturally contributed generously to the box office.

Zhang Hao asked Guo Fan to divide it into two parts, upper and lower. In fact, the national master also had credit.How can I say that after filming "The River is Red", Guoshi was a huge success? I originally thought that would be the case this year.

As a result, Guoshi released "Sturdy as a Rock" during the National Day holiday and continued to make money.

How can you make sense in saying that a movie that took four years of hard work is not as good as a movie that someone made in two months?

Of course, some people will say that "Man Jiang Hong" is good-looking, but I won't comment on this. After all, he has stood up since he was a child, and Qin Hui is no different.

It's just that this made the actors suffer. Sha Yi, who had already finished filming, was recalled to the crew to continue reshooting his scenes.

According to him, this is the third time he has completed the film, and even he can't believe that he still has time to complete the film.

Compared with others, Da Mi Mi's role as Hao Xiaoxi is relatively easy. Most of the time, she is in a suit and uniform, and her acting is beautiful.

Unlike Andy Lau and Wu Jing, who wear spacesuits when going to space, wear diving suits when going to the sea, and run around with one protruding one.

Fortunately, thanks to Zhang Hao's promotion, the production of props is now very high-quality.

Although it is still a little heavier, at least it is very convenient to wear something, and you will not have to wear diapers to act.

In addition, Guo Fan originally wanted to invite some Hollywood actors to play the role. For example, he chose Gary Oldman to play Mike, who played Dr. Heng.

Just because of the epidemic, Gary Oldman couldn't come, so Dr. Heng had to play the role.

The funniest thing is that Dr. Heng spoke in Chinese during the filming.Guo Fan asked him to speak English, but he still got stuck.

Of course, this does not affect the international vision displayed in "The Wandering Earth 2". Compared with America and the United States saving the world alone, this idea of ​​a community with a shared future for all mankind is much greater.

Looking at the settings of "The Wandering Earth 2", Zhang Hao even wondered whether he should contact Warner Pictures and ask them to make a "Wandering Earth" from another perspective.

Among other things, Zhang Hao was very interested in knowing the reaction of foreign audiences or how the Battle of Dulles was conducted.

I just don’t know if Warner Pictures will be interested in this...
