Middle age: leisurely life in the entertainment industry

Zhang Honghong walked around the studio for about an hour and left happily.

This time it was an eye-opener.

This is how real science fiction movies are made!

She just regrets that taking photos was not allowed so she gets graphic news, but this doesn't affect her press release.

Soon, an article titled "Third of a series of reports taking you into a different shooting scene" described in detail what he saw and heard on the shooting scene of "The Wandering Earth", and was full of praise for the shooting props, scene layout and special effects. , said it was the most magnificent shooting scene in China that he had ever seen.

"We'll have to wait and see whether "The Wandering Earth" can be a sci-fi blockbuster like Hollywood's."

However, after this press release was published online, it did not receive much recognition, and the comments below the article were full of doubts.

"boast"

"Have you collected the money?"

"As long as it's not 50-cent special effects like "Yenjing Fortress", I'll be thankful."

Yu Dongqing naturally wouldn't pay attention.

Li Wan is responsible for publicity and public relations, and his only job is filming.

Filming is very hard.

In order to save time, Yu Dongqing had two directors, himself and Meimei, start shooting at the same time. This was a pain for the main actors in the crew. The scene had just finished filming, and before they had time to take a breath, the scene over there started again.

But no one dared to say anything.

The couple didn't even bother to go back and see their three-year-old child. They spent all day in the studio. What else could anyone say?

Many crew members, including actors like Liu Yi and Ye Xiaomin, came from Yu Dongqing's last movie "Ashes of Time".

Now I miss the shooting life at that time very much. Although the environment in the northwest was difficult at the time, it was relaxing.

Playing mahjong, poker and the like every day, it's not like I'm just catching up now.

Yu Dongqing was helpless.

After discussion, the investors of this film decided that it would be best to release it during the Spring Festival next year. Although it seems that there is still a full year and a half, Yu Dongqing knows.

There simply wasn't enough time.

Therefore, if you rush up front, leave enough time for post-production.

Time flies very quickly. More than four months have passed in the blink of an eye. The pre-production work of "The Wandering Earth" is basically completed, and the long post-production time will follow.

It is now January 16th of the second year, with less than 10 days left before the Chinese New Year, and the crew is already ready to return home.

"Meiliang, I want to have a meeting with the main people in charge of the crew tomorrow night." In the evening, Yu Dongqing said to Meili while lying on the bed.

Although the two are on the same crew, they are not necessarily filming together. There are not many opportunities to meet during the day. Only when they return to the room at night can they chat together, mostly about filming work.

Just like tonight.

"Is it announced that the filming is finished? Hey, I haven't seen Lele for four months. I wonder if he still knows me?" Meili sighed quietly.

"How could it be? Don't we often video chat at night?" Yu Dongqing comforted.

"The feeling is completely different!" Meiliang retorted: "I can't touch his little face, and I can't smell his scent!"

All right

Women and men feel differently.

"It's about to be completed, but you forgot, there are still a few sets of exterior scenes that haven't been completed yet."

Ming Ming remembered.

There is a scene in the script where the 171-11 rescue team drives a giant transport truck transporting flint to Hangzhou for rescue at minus 80 degrees Celsius. The transport truck drives on the vast ice field, which is very impactful.

"Didn't Shangguan Feifei tell raysg to search for suitable photos online for computer synthesis?" Meiliang asked.

"She showed me the composite photo at noon today, and I didn't feel very satisfied."

"What do you mean?"

"Find a real location to shoot."

"Where to shoot? And the Chinese New Year is coming soon."

"So we will have a meeting tomorrow night to discuss it."

Not many people came to the meeting in the evening. In addition to Yu Dongqi and his wife, there were several deputy directors and director assistants, the special effects director Shangguan Feifei, the financial director Chang Yan, the executive producer, and the production director.

Li Wan also came.

As a producer, Li Wan is not a permanent member of the crew, and his company still has a lot of troubles. However, he came to Shanghai to visit the crew today and happened to have this meeting.

The agenda of the meeting is very simple. The shooting is about to be completed. What to do with the remaining sets of shots?

Yu Dongqing expressed his opinion.

"I suggest filming in real life and finding a suitable place to take the exterior shots."

"Oh, Director Yu, I think Yang Liang and their computer-generated pictures are enough to look real. You have to take real photos." Shangguan Feifei shrugged in a Western way: "Where should we go? Alaska? I've been there, the ice fields are beautiful. .”

"I object!" Financial Director Chang Yan was the first to jump out and object.

"Director Yu, as a financial officer, I have to remind you about the expenses! You have to consider the funding issue!"

"I know." Yu Dongqing nodded: "Ignore the cost for now, let's just say where is the right place to shoot."

"Should we go to the Northeast? In my hometown, the Songhua River plain is completely white in winter, which is quite suitable." Assistant director Du Xuefeng expressed his opinion.

"The Northeast Plains? NONO! The vegetation in the Northeast Plains is too dense, and there are serious human traces on the ground. It does not meet the requirements of the wilderness in the script." Shangguan Feifei said: "Instead of going to the Northeast, we might as well synthesize it in the computer."

"Then go to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau"

"Just go abroad to Siberia. It's off the beaten track and you can definitely get that kind of effect."

"It would be good to go to Siberia, but I heard that transportation there is inconvenient, especially in the winter."

People present started talking.

"I'm talking about a place, go to Iceland." Yu Dongqing suddenly said.

Iceland?

Everyone present was stunned.

so far away?

But Shangguan Feifei smiled and said: "Iceland? Iceland is a great place. How could I forget it? I remember there is a park in Iceland called Vatnajökull National Glacier. It has a typical volcanic landscape and looks particularly desolate. It fits the requirements of the plot very well, and the transportation is also good. By the way, Director Yu, how do you know this place? Have you been there?"

Where have I been?

In the original time and space, "The Wandering Earth" was filmed there, and the filming made it feel like being on another planet, which was quite shocking.

"I haven't been there, I saw it online." Yu Dongqing replied.

"I've been there! It's really great there, even better than Alaska! I suggest all the remaining shots be shot there!" Shangguan Feifei was a little excited.

The others remained silent.

Let’s not talk about which scenery meets the requirements of the plot.

The cost.

Traveling all the way there just to take a few shots?

Also, the Spring Festival is coming soon, who wants to go to that ice and snowy place?
