If you are asked to make a graduation film, you will win the Golden Bear Award?

Chapter 253 Stunning 3D graphics
Reporters from domestic and foreign media came outside the studio.

The opening ceremony is ready.

The staff placed a two-meter-high Guan Erye in the middle.

In front of the statue of Guan Er Ye is a long table 1.2 meters wide and more than five meters long.

In the center of the long table, there is a prepared braised pig, surrounded by chicken, duck, fish, fruits and other offerings.

In front of the table is a large incense burner.

The crew of "The Wandering Earth" also invited a well-known mage to preside over the opening ceremony of "The Wandering Earth".

Lu Chen, who was wearing a Chinese tunic suit with a stand-up collar, came to the incense burner with a serious expression.

The mage took out three sticks of incense and lit them in a cool way. When he handed them to Lu Chen, he muttered something in his mouth.

Lu Chen took the incense and bowed three times towards the statue of Mr. Guan.

In my heart, I didn’t dare to guarantee that “The Wandering Earth” would be a success.

"The Wandering Earth" will face challenges that have never been faced in previous movies.

A movie with an all-Chinese cast as its main cast, I don’t know how much box office it can achieve around the world.

If the global box office of "The Wandering Earth" is not as good as "Inception" and "Transformers", it means failure.

Lu Chen shot "Inception" and "Transformers" to build his international fame. "Kung Fu Panda" is a Chinese-language animated film that tests the global popularity of Chinese-language films.

So far "Kung Fu Panda" is a success.

But this is an animated movie, and "The Wandering Earth" is a live-action movie, so there are still many uncertainties.

After Lu Chen finished offering incense, other members of the crew also offered incense.

Reporters on the periphery frantically clicked the shutter button to take photos.

Today is a gathering of all the big guys in the mainland film industry.

Han Shanping of Huaguo Film Group, Ren Zhonglun of Shanghai Film Group, Zhang Huijun, president of Peking Film Academy, leaders of film-related departments and other mainland film industry tycoons.

There are also well-known movie stars Ge You, Gong Li, Zhang Ziyi, Chen Long, Zhou Runfa and others.

Reporters were shocked to see so many well-known Chinese movie stars, even more luxurious than the dubbing cast of "Kung Fu Panda".

"Is this the Second Master Guan of China?" Robert Downey Jr. started chatting with Leonardo.

Leonardo and Robert Downey Jr. wrote popular science books about the culture of Guan Erye in China. Before "Inception" was launched, there was also Guan Erye. At that time, Leonardo had a good understanding of what "Guan Erye" was. .

However, the opening ceremony of "Inception" was not as big as today.

There are so many movie bigwigs here today. I wonder if there is some major film festival event being held.

Robert Downey Jr. asked Leonardo a lot about Chinese culture.

Because of Director Lu, the life Bole, Tang Ni is very interested in Chinese culture. Especially after watching "Kung Fu Panda", he is full of interest in this mysterious Eastern country.

Next to him, LaBeouf, the male protagonist of "Transformers", also listened carefully and learned about the mysterious Eastern country together.

Leonardo, Robert Downey Jr. and LaBeouf were also invited by Lu Chen to star in "The Wandering Earth".

Robert Downey Jr. is the European and American actor who has the most scenes in "The Wandering Earth". He plays the role of Makarov in "The Wandering Earth" and has many rival roles with Wu Jing's "Liu Peiqiang" in the movie space.

Now Robert Downey Jr. is no longer popular.

"Iron Man" is currently in post-production and has not yet been released globally.

When "Iron Man" is released, Tang Ni will become famous all over the world, and his salary will be very different at that time.

Of course, given Lu Chen's kindness in promoting Tang Ni, no matter how popular it is, as long as Director Lu invites him to star in the film, he will be offered a low-paying role.

As for Leonardo, he is just a guest character, an international entertainer in the underground city.

Leonardo's character image in the movie must not be good. He gained weight in the movie. His agent reminded Leonardo to stay in shape. Leonardo would say, it's the end of the world, but he still maintains his hair. image.

There was no such character in the previous version of "The Wandering Earth". Lu Chen borrowed film clips from the Metro Line [-] artist in "Walking Alone on the Moon".

Lu Chen arranged this scene so that Leonardo could play a brilliant cameo role and improve the box office performance of "The Wandering Earth" in Europe and the United States.

LaBeouf, the male protagonist of "Transformers", plays the role of 'Tim' in the movie. He has a foreign face but speaks authentic Peiping dialect.

Of course, when the movie is in post-production, a professional voice actor will dub it, LaBeouf himself, but he can’t speak Mandarin well. Casting LaBeouf to star will also increase the popularity of "The Wandering Earth".

After waiting for the incense to be served, Lu Chen, Han Shanping of the film group, the director of Bayi Studio, the director of Beijing Cinema, and the leaders of film-related departments jointly held a big knife and cut into the braised pig. The people next to him were enthusiastic applaud.

"The Wandering Earth" is produced by Mars Film and Television, Film Group, and Bayi Film Studio.

The latter two companies are just playing a soy sauce role.

Mars Film and Television is the largest producer, accounting for more than 90.00% of the investment share.

"Director Lu, I wish in advance that "The Wandering Earth" will be a big hit around the world." Han Shanping blessed, and he admired Lu Chen in his heart for daring to spend so much money to play.

I dare say that no one in the Chinese film industry has such courage and strength.

Of course, Hollywood film companies may not dare to spend so much money on a movie.

Han Shanping especially hopes that "The Wandering Earth" will be a hit. This will be the most critical step for Chinese-language films to break out of Asia and go global.

Successful.

The status of Chinese-language films in the world film industry will definitely take a big step forward.

Lu Chen thanked Han Shanping and others for their blessings, then went to the outside and gave a red envelope to all reporters. The female assistant followed Lu Chen, and the bag was full of red envelopes.

The amount of the red envelope is not big, it just means that you can win a good fortune.

"Director Lu, who is starring in your new movie?"

Almost all the big names in Chinese language were present today. It’s impossible for them all to be the leading actors. There must be different priorities. The reporters wanted to know who was the leading actor in Director Lu’s new work.

"Director Lu, I was in the studio just now and saw the space station props. Your new film must be a science fiction movie, right? It's the same as your first time involved in an animated film, and it will also be your first time involved in a science fiction film. , will it once again create the same miracle as "Kung Fu Panda"?"

Just now, reporters were in Studio No. [-] and saw that most of the movie props had elements of science fiction movies.

The reporters must not have known that the filming was for "The Wandering Earth", and Lu Chen never revealed it. There are too many rumors from the outside world, saying that there are more than ten movie versions of Lu Chen's new work.

At this time, media reporters rushed to ask questions about Director Lu's new movie.

"I understand everyone's feelings, but the movie has not been officially shot yet, and there is no way to answer questions about the movie." Lu Chen did not want to promote "The Wandering Earth" too early, "When everything about the movie is finalized, then I must have answered all the questions that everyone wants to know.”

After the opening ceremony is over, "The Wandering Earth" officially begins filming.

……

The next day, Beijing Film Studio No. 2 Studio
"The Wandering Earth" crew

Today, domestic and foreign media have reported on the launch of director Lu Chen's new movie.

Director Lu has always kept a low profile.

This time the opening ceremony was so big.

To make all viewers curious about the information about Director Lu’s new movie.

From the photos of props taken by reporters, the audience is guessing what type Director Lu's new movie will be.

Including the Chinese film celebrities present at the opening ceremony, what roles will they play in the film?
But currently, very few people know the accurate news about Director Lu's new movie.

Coupled with the fact that there are a lot of false news about Director Lu's new movie, no one knows what is being filmed. I'm afraid Director Lu himself will have to explain it in person.

At this time, the crew of "The Wandering Earth" were all reading newspapers.

# Domestic Chinese celebrities such as Ge You, Gong Li, Chen Long, European and American movie stars Leonardo, etc. Director Lu's new movie has gathered the best movie stars in the world#
#Big trucks with tires taller than people and huge space stations all hint to us that Director Lu’s new movie must be a science fiction movie#
#From the cast and the grand opening ceremony, it can be seen that Director Lu's new work will definitely create a new miracle in the film industry. Let us look forward to Director Lu's new work together#
The outside world is discussing the movie.

Lu Chen didn't pay much attention to it. Now he is fully devoted to the filming of the movie. He doesn't care about anything outside the window and only focuses on making movies.

"Yifei, why is this camera different? What can you say?" Ge You came to Liu Yifei and started chatting.

Ge You has been making movies for more than 20 years and has never seen a camera like this.

The camera in front of me is a little larger than a professional film camera.

And it’s not just the cameras that are different.

The two cameras were also installed vertically together.
There is also a beam splitter mirror at a 45-degree angle in the middle, and there is a polarizer in front of each lens.

Ge You has made countless movies, including big-budget movies, but this is the first time he has seen the camera layout like this.

So very curious.

And Yifei is Director Lu's favorite actress, so she must know something.

Liu Yifei also shook her head, expressing that she didn't know, and was also curious about why the camera was different, and the scene layout was also slightly different from ordinary movie scene layouts.

As for the two cameras, they were placed vertically together.

One camera records the information of the left eye, and the other records the information of the right eye, corresponding to the left and right eyes under polarized glasses (3D glasses) when watching in the cinema.

This gives the audience an extremely visually striking experience, just like entering a movie.

"Director Lu, everything is ready." Assistant Director Ning Hao came to Lu Chen and reported.

I was also excited inside.

This is a 3D movie.

A world-class production.Ning Hao feels deeply honored to be able to participate in film creation and serve as the film's deputy director.

Of course happy.

One more thing.

"No Man's Land" has passed review.

It was supposed to be released at the end of this year.

Because "A City of Golden Armor" directed by Zhang Yingmou has been confirmed to be released in December this year.

What Director Lu means is that if it is released next year, there is no need to compete with "The Golden Armor".

This reminded Ning Hao that Director Lu had to arrange for the release of the previous film "The Golden Heist" to be released in the same month as Feng Xiaogang's "The Banquet".

He also became a director member of the Billion Dollar Club with "The Golden Heist".

If you compete with "The Golden Armor" in a movie theater, you won't lose even if you lose, but you will make a lot of money.

But now Director Lu no longer arranges a showdown with Director Zhang Yingmou.

Of course, Ning Hao also knows that Director Zhang Yingmou is Director Lu's senior brother and he gave Director Lu a lot of help in the early stage. Zhang Yingmou still needs to give him face.

As long as "No Man's Land" can be released normally, Ning Hao will be very happy.

"Let the camera crew get ready." Lu Chen ordered.

3D cameras are heavier than regular film cameras.

In the past, 3D cameras were as big as a large refrigerator, and it was extremely difficult to shoot. They could only shoot in a steady state, and the 3D images they could capture were limited.

Therefore, the development of 3D movies has been limited by the bulkiness and technology of 3D cameras.

Until 3D camera technology improves.

Lu Chen specially flew to the island country several times to work with Sony engineers to once again improve the 3D camera.

After Ning Hao heard Director Lu's instructions, he immediately went down to make arrangements.

Several staff members carried the camera, carefully placed it on the photographer, and then tied it up.

When the actors in the crew saw it, they were all ready.

The male and female protagonists of "The Wandering Earth" are this year's Golden Horse Award winner Liu Yifei and Zhang Ruoyun. Liu Yifei plays "Han Duoduo" in the movie, and Zhang Ruoyun plays "Liu Qi" in the movie.

The scene to be filmed today.

It was two people who secretly drove the transport and were imprisoned in the detention center.

Grandpa 'Han Zi'ang' played by Chen Long came to bail.

Ge You plays the young director of the detention center and has only a guest role in it.

"Director Lu, now you are paying more attention to young directors as the media said. We older generation actors have all come to be green leaves." Ge You said with a smile.

Director Lu's new work, the male and female protagonists are both under 20 years old.

Of course, both of them are also the best young actors in Chinese. They won the Golden Horse Awards for Best Actress and Best Actor this year.

"Teacher Ge You, I want you to lead Yifei and Yifei. They are still very young and have a long way to go as actors." Lu Chen must cultivate young actors and cultivate Martian film and television artists.

"Director Lu, with you here, the future of Chinese-language films is promising." Ge You's eyes were filled with admiration.

If you want the industry to develop, you need constant talent.

Director Lu allows young actors to take on important roles in advance, which is conducive to the prosperity of Chinese-language films in the future.

Unlike Hong Kong movies now, there has been a shortage of films.

"Teacher Ge You, I will let you make a guest appearance this time. Next time we have a chance, we can work together on another movie." Lu Chen expressed his gratitude to Ge You for his willingness to make a guest appearance.

"Director Lu, I'm very grateful for letting me guest star. You know, this is your latest masterpiece, Director Lu. Others who want to star in it can't." Ge You said with a smile: "And I recently accepted it. If there are a lot of scenes in a movie, I really don’t have time to act in it.”

Ge You recently took on the movie "Call of Destiny".

Of course, if Director Lu asked him to star, he would definitely reject the movie.

"A World Without Thieves" and "Let the Bullets Fly", both of which he collaborated with Director Lu, brought Ge You's acting career to a new level.

"Teacher Ge You, then get ready, we are about to start filming." Lu Chen asked all the actors to get in place.

Chen Long also put on makeup at this time, which was similar to the makeup in "The Battle of England". He looked like an older grandpa, a grandpa who looked particularly good at fighting.

"The first shot of "The Wandering Earth", the first time in the fourth scene, action!" With a command, the camera was turned on and the filming officially started.

'Han Zi'ang', played by Chen Long, came to the detention center to bail out his grandson and granddaughter who were imprisoned for stealing a transport truck. At this time, he said good things to the young director of the detention center.

In the previous life, the young director was played by an actor around 30 years old, but Lu Chen changed it and asked Ge You to guest star in this role.

"The Wandering Earth" has a lot of guest stars.

Lu Chen also thought that having more movie stars would bring higher box office for the movie.

This "The Wandering Earth" is of paramount importance to whether Chinese-language films can become world-class films. Lu Chen wants to be the best wherever he goes, including the cast and guest stars.

"Brother, my grandson is studying mechanics, and he just wants to touch a real car." Chen Long's expression of trying to please others was very good, "Look at this, please be accommodating."

"Hey~" Ge You pushed the gift from the other party and spoke in a particularly strong official voice, playing the role well. "The transport vehicle is a valuable public property. It is a serious violation for you to lend the card without permission." .”

Chen Long was merciless when facing the other party. He continued to accompany the smiling face and took out a big box, "This is a good thing. The girls who have been saving for 50 years are all in it."

He said opening the box.

Ge You put his hand on the box and looked at it sideways, "Okay."

When Chen Long heard the other party say 'ok', he thought it was okay. He was smiling and didn't even notice that the other party said 'ok' with the wrong tone.

Ge You leaned back with a superior expression, "Here you go again."

"Crack!"

Lu Chen put down his headphones. When he was acting just now, he was really afraid that Chen Long would punch and beat up the little director of the detention center played by Ge You. "Very good, this one is over, everyone is ready for the next one."

The scene to be filmed next.

'Han Zi'ang', 'Han Duoduo', and 'Liu Qi' played by Chen Long, Liu Yifei and Zhang Ruoyun were imprisoned in a room. The three of them had a rivalry scene, and the cells next to them were held in solitary confinement, played by LaBeouf. Tim's corner.

What follows is the collapse of the prison.

This will also be the first 3D shot in "The Wandering Earth".

Use 3D shooting techniques.

Show the collapse of the prison to the audience.

It makes the audience feel as if they are in a movie, and makes the audience feel that the collapsed wall is not on the big screen, but in front of everyone. It feels like they are in the movie.

Lu Chen was currently arranging the position of the camera and the actors' movements in front of the camera.

Now the shooting is just about the pictures, and there are also special effects production in the post-production.

So the actors present were a little confused when they heard Lu Chen's arrangements. Of course, they didn't understand until they heard Lu Chen's narration and the pictures presented in post-production.

Ning Hao followed Lu Chen, starting to learn 3D shooting techniques.

I believe that "The Wandering Earth" will be a truly large-scale 3D movie when it is released, and it will definitely shock the world.

Director Lu will definitely be able to bring about a trend of 3D movies in the film industry.

"Yifei, Xiao Zhang, Labov, when you move around later, be sure to remember your position and don't go astray." Lu Chen told the two of them how to escape when the detention center collapsed.

In the movie, as they were escaping, rocks fell from the wall.

When filming, you definitely can't really arrange it like this. If you are not careful, if you hit the actor, you will die on the spot.

So the rocks were smashed down and produced in post-production.

And letting the actors move to the right position also prevents them from running into the wrong position and increases the workload of post-production.

"Yeah~" Several people nodded.

Everyone, including Chen Long, was remembering where he would run next.

"The camera crew is ready." Lu Chen gave the order with a walkie-talkie. This time the camera crew had a very important job. They had to carry the camera and follow the shooting.

Although 3D cameras have been improved, they are still heavier than 2D cameras.

This is a big test for photographers.

The intercom in Lu Chen's hand came from the voices of each group, indicating that they were all ready.

"Action!" Lu Chen continued to preside over the next shooting task.

The first 3D shot of the movie "The Wandering Earth" has officially started shooting.

The staff present showed a hint of excitement despite their nervousness. This was the first time they had shot a 3D lens, and it was also the first time in China that 3D shooting technology had been used.

But Lu Chen wasn't nervous at all. He had made a 3D movie in his previous life, so he was quite familiar with it.

The crew of "The Wandering Earth", under the arrangement of Director Lu, are all completing their work in an orderly manner.

　Thanks to the boss "Leng Xunfan" for the reward, thanks to the bosses for subscribing and supporting the genuine version, thank you!
