Super entertainment red envelope

Chapter 803: Demons dance wildly!

DreamWorks.

After the newly built green screen studio was put into use, it entered a fully enclosed state.

The whole world knows that Li Zhifan is in "Avatar", except for the crew and people related to this project, no one knows where "Avatar" was filmed.

The wonderful and shocking pictures I saw in the movie theater were actually extremely funny and funny during the filming process. Without special effects, I really feel that these people are a bunch of psychopaths.

Each actor wears a complete set of capture equipment, which can capture every movement of the actor, including laughing, crying, dancing and so on.

The peeling and pecking equipment is also extremely delicate. At first glance, it looks like a mess of electronic accessories.

But this is also true. The actors in "Avatar" can be reused. There are no more than 30 actors in a scene at most. not come out.

If it is filmed in China, you can also use the crowd tactics to recruit more actors to act.

However, Hollywood is controlled by guilds, and the cost of adding extra actors is very high. This is why American films are desperately developing special effects, because it can save a lot of money in labor.

A general movie shooting scene must be absolutely quiet, and no one dares to make any noise during shooting to disturb the director's shooting process.

But the shooting scene of "Avatar" is different, because all the film will be re-dubbed and soundtracked in the later stage, so the scene is completely like a free market, especially the directors of the roles. While the actors are acting, they say at the same time, To a large extent, it helped the actors to complete the shooting smoothly and avoided many NGs.

"OK, OK! Let's dance together!"

Li Zhifan commanded loudly, and even made movements by himself, "Think about it, you are riding on mounts, and you are in mid-air, so every movement must have a floating feeling..."

"Yes, these actresses did a great job. The male actors over there, you don't want to learn from actresses, what they want is flexibility, what you want is fortitude, show me your muscles one look!"

"Okay, good! This one is over! Change the group!"

Most of the actors in "Avatar" have a foundation in dance, and many of them are even invited directly from the dance department. There are many action shots in this play, which are inseparable from dance, and there are many Na'vi people The scene of dancing happily together is one of the reasons why actors must have dance moves.

Although the selected heroine Emma Fanning could not dance before, she has been training her dance skills with the help of professional instructors during this time.

Even Li Zhifan would sometimes give him guidance in person, which made Fan Ning surprised by Li Zhifan's dancing skills, and suddenly she remembered that directing is just Li Zhifan's sideline job, his real main job is a music artist, he is very good at singing and dancing .

In another world, the shooting of "Avatar" can be described as difficult.

This story was written by the director James Cameron when he was young, but unfortunately there was no plan to shoot it. It was not until he became famous for many years that the shooting plan was started. Among them, because of technical problems, the production team became a scientific research team. , and developed many new technologies for post-production special effects.

In addition, the useful material for filming was produced for more than ten hours at the beginning, but after a lot of streamlining and deletion, it became more than four hours.

James Cameron once wanted to divide the movie into two episodes, each about 130 minutes long.

But the production company didn't allow this, so they abruptly cut the four hours of material to 178 minutes, nearly three hours of content.

Before the release, it was affected by various parties, resulting in the final release of the film with only 162 minutes.

It can be said that "Avatar" is a movie that has been continuously compressed. Fortunately, there was a 178-minute full version later, so that James Cameron's reputation, talent and face were not compromised, but it made people look forward to "Avatar" even more the second part of .

Of course, even if it is compressed to 162 minutes, "Avatar" has won a global box office of 27.5 billion US dollars, but the cost of filming is only 2.3 million. The doubling of this order of magnitude is extremely rare, and it has also made many investors earn money. The bowl is full.

In this world, Li Zhifan only asked Oriental Entertainment for the production cost of 1 million for the filming of "Avatar".

It is completely enough for him, because he does not need to make 178 hours of material, but only [-] minutes of material, which saves a lot of money.

At the same time, he played the leading role himself, which also saved a fee for the leading role, but his name was included in the list of producers and producers, and it accounted for a high proportion.

So in the end, after the movie is released, as long as the box office exceeds 5 million US dollars, the share he gets is far more than what the actor should have gotten.

Li Zhifan is probably the only one who can make good plans in advance. The other shareholders of Oriental Entertainment even have doubts about whether "Avatar" can pay back. If it wasn't for Fang Xiao's strong support and Li Zhifan's second in command And identity, I am afraid that other ordinary directors will not be able to get a production fee of 1 million US dollars.

……

shooting scene.

"OK! The next scene we're filming is a dancing scene. Come on, those beauties and handsome guys just now rested and returned to work!"

Li Zhifan unconsciously brought out the urgency and seriousness he had when he was filming the film before. This seems to be his shooting style when he was the director. Now the whole crew has gotten used to his style. .

Shooting begins.

Li Zhifan ate the hamburger while drinking Coke.

The actresses at the scene danced aside, and the male actors sat around eating and drinking together.

This scene is very similar to the scene in the primitive tribe.

Li Zhifan also directed: "All the actors look at the actresses, and then smile, it is the kind of appreciation and love smile, to express the original wildness and bestiality, don't be reserved, don't be reserved, throw away your sense of gentleman, Imagine yourself as a primitive man, OK?"

"Yes, that's it, and then the male actors started to get up one after another, joining the dancing camp, good! OK!"

If the scene at this time is described as a group of demons dancing wildly, it can't be more appropriate.

At first, the female actors danced like a performance at the Olympic opening ceremony, but as the male actors joined and the two parties completely let go, the scene changed instantly.

In order to make them dance happily, the music played on the scene is Li Zhifan's "Poker-Face", but this song will not be played in the actual movie, but the rhythm is the same.
