Chapter 334 Officially Finished!
Chen Xi and the others came to the location of Vatna Glacier, which is a landscape belonging to Iceland.

Inheriting the shooting methods and many shooting locations of the original "Interstellar", Chen Xi also knows how to shoot most scenes.

Includes filming at Vatnajökull.

Actually, Chen Xi didn't need to make such a trip this time... But after thinking about it carefully, he also wanted to minimize the pressure on post-production special effects, and also wanted to create a more realistic scene atmosphere.

This is how Nolan makes movies. If he can use miniature models and the like, he will never use CG. Of course, his purpose is not to reject new technologies, but it is still to create a more realistic texture for movies.

Texture is very important to him!

And Chen Xi is here, using IMAX3D to shoot such a glacier world, coupled with various scheduling of the scene, will also give the movie this texture.

It was the first time for Chen Xi and the others to shoot in this kind of scenic spot in a foreign country.

Countries like Iceland are European welfare states, small countries with few people, high GDP and people’s living standards, and various legal systems and other things are also quite complete. Filming in these places, protecting the environment and other things, It was still very complicated, and even gave people the feeling that Chen Xi was asking for trouble.

However, for Chen Xi, such a time is a rare experience, which can provide him with more experience in filming. The experience of filming in these places abroad is of great benefit to the experience of scene scheduling. In the future, if Chen Xi wants to shoot some big scenes, it will be much easier and more familiar.

Sure enough, after filming on the glacier, there were really many requirements, especially many laws and regulations restricting Chen Xi and the others.

In fact, the Chinese film crews have always been ignorant of these places... But it should not only be the film crews that have this kind of problem, a large part of Chinese people are like that, no matter what they do, they always think about taking advantage of things. Most people know about the destruction of Shangri-La by the crew of "The Promise".

But since Chen Xi and the others were on someone else's territory, they had to do so.

And during the filming, they also saw a lot of annoying things, mainly because some people in Iceland, although they agreed with Chen Xi's filming, they looked at Chen Xi and them like they were guarding against thieves. It makes people too angry, there is no way, many times the Chinese are really discriminated against, but there is no turning back, in fact, in the later stage, Chen Xi herself regretted it a bit.

I knew it should be filmed in China, but since this is the case, Chen Xi shortened the filming process. It was originally scheduled to be filmed for nine days, and left after five days. There is no consumption, and the crew basically eats their own food. , and of course do as they ask.

Chen Xi is not a fool with a lot of money.

There are many things that make people angry, but there is nothing they can do about it. *** and the like have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the rise of China's economy in recent years has made Western people tremble with fear. The Chinese themselves do have some problems overseas, so these things can only be hoped to be realized slowly one day.

…After the filming in Iceland, many people felt a little bit angry. The crew returned to China soon. After filming some scenes, the last stage of filming, that is, the filming of the cornfield is about to begin. .

... The entire process of "Interstellar" has been full of everyone's attention. There are really too many people who want to see more news about the movie.

On the official scarf of "Interstellar", there will basically be some stills released, but not many.

This official scarf has not been created for a long time, but it already has more than [-] fans. It is conceivable how attractive "Interstellar" is to everyone.

After returning to China, Chen Xi inspected Xinzai's preparations for his new web drama.

Chen Xi has really prepared for this web drama for a long time, and the preparations for many props have been made to the extreme. Just hiring a lot of historical consultants.

In fact, many things recorded in history can be regarded as common sense, and there is basically no problem. Many historical consultants themselves are of high standard, but once China has a large number of outdated ancient costume films, there are also historical consultants... The main problem is that on unwillingness to spend money.

Otherwise, just look at the "Da Ming Dynasty 1566" at that time, and you will know that it is not impossible to be sophisticated, but it is just that you are reluctant to invest money.

This is the same as Qing palace drama.

Some people say that Qing palace dramas are caused by legacy, but in fact, they don’t overinterpret them so much... The main reason for the large number of Qing palace dramas is that TV dramas such as "Huanzhugege", "The Secret History of Xiaozhuang", "Iron Teeth and Bronze Teeth Ji Xiaolan" are really good. It has raised the attention of the Qing Dynasty, everyone's familiarity with the Qing Dynasty and their awareness of the Qing Dynasty have also increased, and they also like to watch things about this dynasty. You have to count on the aunts who are the main audience to know that Yangzhou Eight Days That's obviously impossible. In their imagination, the people of the Qing Dynasty had smooth braids from the beginning, and they didn't know what money rat tails were at all.

And another important reason is that in TV dramas, especially costume dramas, there are many Qing Dynasty dramas that require costumes. The costumes are especially easy to find, and everyone is more willing to shoot Qing Palace dramas.

Due to these reasons, Qing court dramas are easy to attract investment and ratings, just like anti-Japanese dramas.

With the explosion of TV series such as "Beauty's Scheming" in later generations, TV series in the Han Dynasty also appeared one after another, which is also a reason.

As for Chen Xi, they basically don't have clothes that are really easy to match. In terms of clothes alone, Chen Xi estimates that they will have to spend tens of millions, or even more. (By the way, Lao Zhong just bought a Western knight sword, and it cost three hundred, and the postage was thirty. If he bought a set of medieval chain mail and plate armor, it would cost at least ten thousand... These things are really amazing. It costs a lot of money, even if it is only used as a prop, it is not cheap).

But now Chen Xi is still determined to make some clothes that truly fit people from all walks of life and forces in the late Ming Dynasty, as well as weapons that fit people of that era, and even Chen Xi has to call in many outstanding makeup artists. , try to disguise people as much as possible in the late Ming Dynasty that almost most people were malnourished.

Chen Xi checked it now. So far, most of the places have been completed fairly well, even the clothes of some lower-level characters are also well completed, and many props and the like are also well done. After all, these things cost a lot of money. A huge sum of money was spent, so the things produced are indeed more elegant.

Chen Xi himself occasionally writes scripts, and at the same time discusses with many historical consultants.

"Late Ming" will be officially narrated from the death of Emperor Tianqi, and the first season will probably tell that the world is full of wars, peasant armies come and go, and gradually become a climate.

The focus of the first season is mainly on Chongzhen's side and the vicious circle and cycle that he faces with no payment and no money to fight, but tax increases will make the world more miserable.

In addition, it will also tell about the affairs between Chongzhen and the civil official group, and the Donglin Party will also become one of the protagonists.

These Chen Xi will basically follow the narration method of "Rome". When it comes to major events, there are trade-offs, and the progress of time will be relatively faster, but basically they will fully respect historical facts.

In fact, this is the method Chen Xi finally adopted after a lot of thinking: In terms of screenwriting, he may not really have any advantage, and it is easy to be clever and self-defeating, and in the end it will be full of loopholes. It is better to follow historical speculation. Shoot, in fact, even if such a TV series is filmed completely according to history, the fate of the characters will hold the hearts of too many people, and it will make them want to watch this TV series.

Therefore, in this regard, Chen Xi is not worried about attractiveness, as long as he can find a good choice in history, then the filming will naturally attract everyone's liking.

For such a TV series, as long as Chen Xi is very particular about props and clothes, and the characters are filmed according to history, or at least choose a historical view to film, there will be no logical problems.And most of the audience, as long as they show these things, they will feel that this is almost a masterpiece.

After all, TV dramas such as "Da Ming Dynasty 1566" and "Towards the Republic" have such high ratings. Is it really because of how magnificent they are?

In fact, it's more about not treating people as brain-dead.

Even if it's "Game of Thrones", which has a lot of ratings in American dramas, if you really want to talk about the beginning and end of the plot, there are all kinds of twists and turns, it's not unexpected, but it's just smooth... After all, just like people Like fighting with people, the more you want to set up some clever things, the more things you need to lie and make up the logic.

Such a complete lie may not always be able to be corrected. Therefore, sometimes it is true if a great coincidence is true, and it is also true to break a coincidence with strength.

So on the script, Chen Xi will also discuss with many historical consultants. After all, this is really something that belongs to him completely, and he can't relax no matter what.

…Interstellar came to the final leg of its journey, which was in the cornfields.

Time has passed too long.

During this period of time, more and more materials were produced for "Interstellar". In fact, many movie fans have also seen more stills from the movie, and they know more about this movie. The expectation is also more.

Chen Xi still liked this part of the filming quite a bit. In fact, no matter whether it was Chen Xi before or the current Chen Xi, he found that he still particularly liked the part where the three of them chased the Indian drone in the cornfield.

And now it's time to start filming this segment.

Liang Chaowei and the others are all ready, as are the vehicles and the like. The drone above is used for aerial photography, and the car behind is also used for shooting. Inside the car is a handheld photographer.

However, even with such at least five camera positions, it still needs to be shot about twice, but in the process of pushing down the corn, it still needs to be shot in different places.

After the official start of shooting, the shooting here is actually not that simple. It is really difficult to shoot between marching movements, and the coordination of multiple cameras and photographers is not easy.

Chen Xi simply sits in the car that followed behind to shoot, which is also a camera car, Chen Xi has to base on what he sees on the monitor, and at the same time, based on what his eyes can see. Coordinate everyone's actions.

Chen Xi is actually very proficient in these shooting skills now, so under his deployment, the shooting of these things in front of him was relatively smooth.

After a day of filming, almost everyone was sweating, but although today’s shots were not finished, there was no other way but to continue shooting tomorrow. After all, if Chen Xi forced to shoot now, the light would be different after all. Easier to wear.

This piece of corn field was indeed belonged to Chen Xizhong, and he also went to the field himself, but he only had a small piece of it.

In fact, Chen Xi had also grown corn since he was a child. The terrain there is relatively rough, so although it is in the south, there are not many places suitable for growing rice.

But now that Chen Xi is in this situation, there is definitely no way to grow corn quietly. He can only find some time to grow corn. It may even seem like it's just a show, but some problems are inherently like this.

This piece of land, as well as the corn seeds here, and many farmers have spent some money, but the effect is still good now. As long as you use IMAX3D technology to shoot a large green corn field, you can completely capture it. Things like these spatial relationships are displayed in their original form, so that they can see all the open pictures in this space. As for the feeling of the vehicle constantly shuttling on the cornfield during this process, Chen Xi will use similar to "Interstellar" The 2D effect of the opening scene of Trek 3, as long as the 3D effect of the chase scene is fully done, the effect is quite good and has a sense of impact.

After two weeks of shooting in this place, I finally finished shooting everything in the cornfield, including after Murphy grew up.

Murphy, played by Zhou Xun, is indeed penetrating. In any of them, he basically uses the eyes and micro-expressions to the extreme.

And Zhou Xun actually has enough understanding of many performances, so Chen Xi doesn't even need to spend much time and energy to train her.

After filming these passages, it was early May. In fact, "Gravity" had been released for almost a year at this time, but at this time, "Interstellar" had already been filmed and officially wrapped.

At the end of June, "Interstellar" officially wraps up!
This is news that makes many fans of Chen Xi and many Chinese movie fans very excited.
