Chapter 528 Tom Cruise’s shock
After "The Wandering Earth" officially started filming, the crew of thousands of people was like a sophisticated machine, and everyone was spinning continuously.

The crew was divided into three groups for filming.

Team A is responsible for shooting the space station scenes, Team B is responsible for the ground combat scenes, and Team C is responsible for the exterior scenes and some supporting scenes.

The three groups started work at the same time.

Chief director Guo Fan has become the busiest person.

Although at the beginning of filming, the production department and director department made a lot of plans, including what to shoot every day and plan B if something unexpected happened.

But plans can never keep up with changes.

People are not machines.

There will always be various situations.

For example, a certain prop is unqualified, or there is a problem with machine debugging.

Human beings cannot spend too many resources on one sub-project.

The base Wu Jing attacked was just one of the nodes.

Although the planetary engine master control system is important, it is only one of many projects and cannot reach the optimal level.

The battle was extremely tragic.

Space Wolf has been transformed from a positive character into a villain, and he is the leader of the attack team.

Coincidentally.

What was filmed on this day was a special water battle scene. The general background was that the rebel organization was attacking the network security center and preparing to forcibly shut down the planetary engine operating system.

Just when the base was in danger, the team led by Tom Cruise rushed to the battlefield as reinforcements.

50% redundancy is enough.

Group B studio.

In dozens of bases around the world, as long as the damage rate does not exceed 50%, the system will not be in danger of overload.

At the end of the battle, Tom Cruise and the Space Wolf launched the most primitive fight.

Then, the two sides engaged in fierce fighting.

The fundamental purpose of the rebels' attack on the planetary engine operating system is to destroy the gravity slingshot plan.

Since it is the future, server heat dissipation is definitely not an inefficient method such as air cooling, and the computer room is decentralized in the control room.

From the control room, call all the way to the computer room where the server is located.

As an operating system related to human life and death, it must be a distributed arrangement.

As we all know, underwater special effects action scenes are the most difficult to shoot because water has resistance and it depends on the actors' on-the-spot performance.

……

In a water room with a special solution.

The base that the Space Warriors attacked was the node that broke the balance.

The specific shooting location of this scene was inside a water tank.

Shoot first.

Then special effects processing was performed to replace the background with a server room.

The moment he saw the script, Tom was ready to fight hard. Similar action scenes, even in Hollywood, are dependent on the weather.

Whether the lens can be used is full of uncertainty.

However, what surprised him was that the crew of "The Wandering Earth" was extremely professional.

Before the official shooting, there is a lot of training that should be done.

Including group performances, all were trained.

After the filming officially started, the green screen, black cloth, lighting, camera positions, and personnel arrangements on the scene all looked like a military one.

Be methodical.

All departments did their job well and there were very few mistakes.

To be fair, it is difficult to see such a crew even in Hollywood.

The crew is like an army.

This incident brought a great shock to Tom Cruise.

Putting aside post-production, just looking at the crew's scheduling capabilities, the crew of "The Wandering Earth" has become one of the top teams in Hollywood. The fact that the crew of "The Wandering Earth" can be so efficient is actually something that is difficult to replicate.

Because the core members of the crew are all members of Star Media.

Even if he is not one of our own people, he is still half of our own people who have worked together for a long time.

If a team has been working together for several years, can their tacit understanding be the same as that of people called in at short notice?
Obviously impossible.

Crew management is also a science.

Star Media did not hesitate to break the rules, support a large number of behind-the-scenes members, and sign labor contracts with them in order to open up a road, a road to industrialization.

Tom was not the only one who was shocked.

There are also other Hollywood actors who are cooperating with Star Media for the first time.

If they could use one word to describe their experience on the set of "The Wandering Earth", it would be "smooth and smooth".

Even if there are occasional problems on site, they can be dealt with in time.

Especially the young chief director, whether there is a problem in Group A, Group B or Group C, he can quickly find a solution.

It seems like he doesn't understand the props, lenses, and lighting.

The only thing lacking is probably the 'training' of the actors?
Don't get it wrong.

It's the serious kind of training.

However, this is not a big problem for the crew of "The Wandering Earth".

Except for those two young actors, all the other actors who joined the group have special skills.

If something goes wrong, in most cases, the actors can adjust themselves.

If it doesn't work once, shoot three or four times, or at most seven or eight times, and you'll definitely be able to pass.

Even the Hollywood actors were shocked, let alone the mainland actors who were working with Star Media for the first time.

Brother Xun was also deeply touched.

Since filming in the 90s, she has been on more than a hundred crews, large and small, but this is the first time she has seen a crew like "The Wandering Earth".

She had also heard about the Star Media crew before.

But what you hear is false, and what you see is true.

It wasn't until today that she realized the difference.

Take the crew of "Overheard 3" where she recently worked as an example. In the 90s, Hong Kong movies were very popular across Asia and were highly commercialized.

With decades of accumulation, it stands to reason that the Xiangjiang crew should be very professional.

In fact, Zhou Xun thinks so too.

The crew of "Overheard 3" is indeed very professional, and the gap with the Hollywood crew of "Cloud Atlas" is not too big.

However, I am afraid of comparison in everything.

You have to throw it away when comparing things.

Compared with the crew of "The Wandering Earth", the crew of "Overheard 3" is like a grassroots team.

A glimpse of the leopard shows that the on-site management is so precise and strict, and the preliminary preparation work will probably be even more precise and complicated.

It feels like ten minutes on stage and ten years off stage.

It’s no wonder that movies produced by Star Media are able to sweep the Chinese-speaking market.

The efficiency of "The Wandering Earth" is not only reflected in the crew scheduling, post-production, editing and a series of behind-the-scenes work, but it is also full of efficiency.

Shooting, editing, and special effects synchronized at the same time.

The modeling of some of the special effects had already started at the beginning of filming.

And this is also the reason why "The Wandering Earth" dares to schedule it for next summer. Without an efficient production team, how could thousands of special effects shots be completed within half a year?

now.

Xingchen Media no longer wants to compete with the Lunar New Year festival.

The best movie every year must be in the summer season.

The second-most important movie is placed in the Spring Festival period, and the third-most important movie is placed in the Christmas period before New Year's Day, spanning Christmas + New Year's Day.
