Chapter 297 Over 1 Million Special Effects
This is really Chen Xi’s first filming in Thailand, but there are often some Chinese tourists here, and there are some Mandarin everywhere. Obviously, there are also a lot of people here who are used to Chinese. people or Chinese crew.

Chen Xi and the others also shot relatively quickly. This kind of comedy is not particularly difficult.

Of course, sometimes comedies are more difficult to shoot than many dramas. The feeling of having to use various guidance to bring out the laughs is really difficult to do.

But even under such circumstances, it is relatively easier to shoot Thai Jiong.

Today, another scene was filmed. Here is the part in the river, that is, the part where three people fall into that river one after another. In this place, it also completed the role of connecting the past and the next, and it also bears the responsibility of the film. A large part of the jokes.

After shooting some things here, Chen Xi and the others are on the side of the monitor, and the field workers are busy carrying various lights, and many are preparing a lot of props.

Huang Bo came over at this time and said with a smile to Chen Xi: "Director Chen, I watched your movie, it was really good!"

Chen Xi and Huang Bo are quite familiar with each other now, so when they heard Huang Bo's voice, they joked, "Which movie?"

Huang Bo: "It's that sci-fi suspense film, the pretty good one..."Robot Man"."

Chen Xi pretended to kick him, and then said: "Actually, if I don't act, you must all be thinking in your heart, what a pity, what a pity, such a talented actor, such a good actor, doesn't plan to continue acting ……Ugh……"

However, when Chen Xi said that, Huang Bo, Wang Baoqiang, and Xu Zheng beside him waved their hands to show that they definitely didn't think so.

Chen Xi: "Actually, I just think that I am not suitable for acting in comedies. Have you noticed that for a handsome person like me, it is much more difficult to highlight the comedy effect than special actors like you. This is my A difficult hurdle to cross..."

Huang Bo glanced at Xu Zheng and Wang Baoqiang: "Do you have the urge to kill him?"

...The filming process of "Lost in Thailand" is still quite fast. By almost April, the filming of the film is basically completed.

In the last paragraph, Chen Xi replaced Fan Binbing with Liu Yifei. This was also based on some considerations. Anyway, Liu Yifei has a pretty good reputation now, especially the "Source Code" that pushed her fame to its peak. Now in There is a high level of recognition both in China and abroad.

The current Liu Yifei can be said to have filmed "Source Code", and in terms of popularity and word-of-mouth, finally has a work that can be sold. This is really important, and this is a subversive pinnacle.

As for Fan Binbing... To be honest, Chen Xi didn't like her very much. Although she knew that she was very popular and a well-known star, Chen Xi didn't think she was a very good actress.

And from Chen Xi's aesthetic point of view, anyway, he didn't think Fan Binbing was so good-looking.

Moreover, Chen Xi and Liu Yifei are also relatively familiar, so she was asked to play this role as a cameo.

The filming of the last part of "Lost in Thailand" has gradually been handed over to other people. Chen Xi himself has to go back to China. There are still some things waiting for Chen Xi to deal with in China, especially the new A place where filming is prepared.

Chen Xi's new movie, apart from the current "Lost in Thailand", is a sci-fi movie. That sci-fi movie is different from the trivial "Source Code", and it's not about playing with concepts. It is a super movie that really involves a lot of things. It is also a drama that is really brilliant in many aspects such as visuals. The content of the movie involves a lot of deep thinking.

The preparations for that movie are completely incomparable to sci-fi movies like "Source Code", and now Chen Xi is also thinking carefully about what kind of actor he needs to really support such a sci-fi blockbuster .

And now Chen Xi and the others are preparing a headlight, a headlight with a unique structure, this headlight will support the entire movie, and most scenes in the movie need the energy of this headlight to shoot.

Chen Xi went to the set to be built and took a look. Many of the current problems still come from the lack of experience... Many people think that Chen Xi is really whimsical, but there is no way...

In addition, news has also come from here. Prime Focus World also has industrial light and magic, and Weta Digital have sent their quotations for Chen Xi's new movie. The quotations from these places are very high, basically After a movie is shot, a lot of money has to be spent on special effects.

However, there are some things that can't be helped...

On the Chinese side, the special effects skills are actually not bad, including many special effects teams. There are also Chinese people in many special effects companies in Hollywood. The Chinese special effects teams are also getting better, but it really involves For Chen Xi's new film, he can only find a foreign company.

It's just that after these special effects companies heard about Chen Xi's plan, they immediately felt that the cost had to be increased, otherwise they really couldn't do it.

A Chinese employee of Industrial Light & Magic said to Chen Xi: "Director Chen, let me use a simple analogy for your request, that is, if you use a computer with your current configuration to render what you need The special effects need to be rendered from the era of King Wu’s defeat of Zhou to 2030. With such a large workload, you can complete it without spending 1000 million US dollars, which is really fantastic.”

This statement made Chen Xi a little ashamed, but of course he wanted to use less money to achieve greater results.

After a long selection, Chen Xi finally chose Prime Focus World. After all, this company is more suitable for him. Every special effects company has its own strengths and weaknesses. These all exist. Now Chen Xi The company that Xi chose can fulfill Chen Xi's requirements in terms of 3D performance and other special effects details.

It's just that their price is about 1500 million U.S. dollars, which is equivalent to [-] million yuan.It can't be less, and because Chen Xi also asked them to bring a special effects studio established by Deep Space Film and Television, so the price is even more adamant that it will not be lowered no matter what.

This number is not bad, so Chen Xi decided to accept it after thinking about it.
