Chapter 396 Magic? Small family spirit
As soon as the Golden Statue Award was nominated, Wang Zhengfei, who was already on the cusp of the storm, attracted the attention of countless people. If the previous engagement was love, then the current Golden Statue Award is a career. In the eyes of many people, Wang Zhengfei is undoubtedly a love career and a double harvest.
I don't know how many people I envy for a while.
However, Wang Zhengfei himself did not have the leisure to pay attention to this matter, because "After the Ascension" is about to start shooting, and he still has a lot of preparations to do, and he can't take care of "The Age of Naked Marriage", because the release time of "The Age of Naked Marriage" and the shooting time of "After the Ascension" are similar. He could only choose one choice, and finally chose "After the Ascension", because the work of "After the Ascension" could not be separated from him, and Gao Yan in "The Age of Naked Marriage" should be able to do it properly, even without him, it should not be a big problem.
The Spring Festival has passed, and the cold wind has passed the coldest time. At the end of Wang Zhengfei's holiday, he immediately rushed to Shaanxi for a field trip.
The main location of this shooting is still in Shaanxi. Although Taigu should be the fairyland in the usual sense, according to the description in the book, Taigu should be a vast scene, not as exaggerated as in the traditional fairy world. The traditional fairyland should be the kind of green briss. Pile of blue, white clouds and floating jade, light shaking pieces of smoke and haze, rows of cranes flying together, immortals flying all over the sky with auspicious clouds, but it is not the same in "After Flying Up" at all. It should be full of desolation, the environment is quite bad, monsters are rampant, and there are countless poor mountains. It is not ordinary people who can survive at all, among them are more demons. This is a harsh environment to the extreme.
And Wang Zhengfei is also based on restoring these scenery. Although there are many scenery that can be completed through computer stunts, most of the scenery still needs to be shot on the spot. This shooting is destined to be very difficult, which is completely different from the last "Qin Shi Ming Yue". This time, there are more action scenes, which is difficult. It's bigger, and the environment is worse. The last time "Qin Shi Ming Yue" was shot, at least it was placed in a famous scenic area. Now, the scenic area is really floating clouds, and it is impossible to go to any scenic area at all. On the contrary, it is necessary to shoot in some particularly bad places. There are many needs in the novel. Many of the scenes shot in the sky have to be shot on the mountains.
Therefore, the shooting work this time simply makes those staff want to die. In the past, the work of determining the shooting was to choose super beautiful scenic spots such as Jiuzhaigou to select the scenery. They can also browse these places while selecting the scenery. It can be said that it is still a relatively easy job, but now It's completely different. Now the requirements are very dangerous places. It can be said that it is difficult for those staff, because most of these places are not in the scenic spots at all. After all, there are no people to see such a dangerous place. If they are not in the scenic area, there are all kinds of inconveniences. There are no hotels and nothing. There is no cable car, all kinds of equipment and tools, and even a lot of places without a road. In this case, it is purely a lot of suffering.
They still have to take a comprehensive scene in these places, take a large number of photos, and then send them back for Wang Zhengfei to choose. After Wang Zhengfei selects these places, he has to go again to confirm in person. After all, the environment of the scene can not be fully photographed. Whether it is in line with Wang Zhengfei's thoughts will not be known until he arrives at the scene.
Wang Zhengfei's requirements are very high. He has a lot of ideas about "After the Ascension". "After the Ascension" can be said to be the longest preparation time since his debut, and the shooting time will be the longest film. It is destined to devote so much effort. It is impossible to kill him casually like this. Of.
This time, it is a great work for him to hit the international market. Now the world is full of Western magic works, and he will use this "After Ascension" to tell the world that compared with the fantasy of the East, the so-called Western magic is too pettish.
Now the most famous magic works in the world are undoubtedly Harry Potter and The Lord of the Rings. Although Harry Potter is very popular, it can't change the fact that it is a children's book in itself. How grand it can be written for children, and although the background of The Lord of the Rings is also It can be called grand, but compared with the background setting of After The Ascension, it is not enough at all. It is not a heavyweight at all.
Perhaps this is the so-called vision that determines the pattern, which has a lot to do with humanities. China has been a big country since ancient times. This kind of status as a heavenly dynasty definitely brings not only the so-called compladent and arrogantness, but also the self-confidence and vision in the bones. Many people think that those things follow. The history of humiliation in modern China has been eliminated by the culture of enslavement, but in fact, the pride in these bones permeates the bones, which is difficult to be directly detected, but when you raise your hands and feet, the pride of 5,000 years is reflected behind it.
It seems that Japan seems to be quite brilliant and arrogant in modern times, but looking at their works, such as the very popular Naruto, the pattern is comparable. In such a large place, the village is still the main unit, and those writers of China's online articles, even very popular authors, generally set the background. At that time, it is also quite grand. These are not very subjective. They are more subconscious. AB subconsciously can only set the ninja's mainland to be so small, and China's street writers will also subconsciously set the background of the story very grand, which reflects the accumulation of 5,000 years of culture. Just like an aristocrat, no matter how depressed he is, he will subconsciously look at the problem with the eyes of aristocrats, and even if the upstart suddenly becomes rich, his vision is limited to the past. The so-called aristocracy needs to be precipitated, not without reason.
And China, Europe and the United States are the same, especially the medieval wars in Europe. It seems to be a joke. The owner of a castle is also a lord. Hundreds of people are a battle, and thousands of people are a great battle that has to be recorded in history. Novels written under this background are born with defects. First That's why the sky is not enough.
If the magic and fantasy films are shot under the same conditions, they are not at the same level at all. Western magic is too pettish to look at. That's what happens in my bones.
And Wang Zhengfei wants to use a fantasy blockbuster like After Ascension to tell people all over the world that Hollywood's so-called magic is too petite. Compared with Chinese fantasy, it is nothing at all.
Of course, this only refers to the background of the story. If it is a stunt technology, and other hardware conditions, it is still Hollywood's strength, but this strength is just hardware.
In today's society, it is not a problem that money can solve. For the rich Star Entertainment, it is not a problem that money can solve. Is it the richest Star Entertainment in the world? Of course not. The film companies in the world are much richer than Star Entertainment, but they are not as bold as Star Entertainment. First of all, the shares are mixed. Besides, when they are in Hollywood, the cost is much higher. They also support two or three movies. Their cost is more than 20 times that of Star Entertainment. In this case, No matter how rich they are, they will feel very difficult.
But Xingchen Entertainment is different. Xingchen Entertainment is based in China. Basically, the manpower is good and cheap. Xingchen Entertainment has just been established for a few years. In fact, there are very few film and television dramas to be filmed at the same time. Even if Wang Zhengfei's works are supported according to Hollywood standards, the remaining budget can be At the same time, ten movies with an investment of more than 100 million yuan are launched at the same time, and one billion is just more than 100 million dollars of movies. This is the advantage of low prices. Of course, even if Star Entertainment wants to invest, no one comes to shoot it. There are still too few people from Star Entertainment, but Gaoyan doesn't want to find some directors to shoot casually. For example, for top, fixed and profitable directors such as Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige, although they also need to invest, their investors are generally a relatively stable group of people. It is not so easy for Star Entertainment to invite them to shoot. Even if they want to participate in their investment, there is no such thing. It's so easy. Around these big directors, a small circle has been formed one by one. It's not so simple for outsiders to intervene. There are vested interest groups.
And the second-tier directors below them can't guarantee that they can make money, and there is still a certain trend. In this case, why don't you choose the director of your own company? Anyway, they don't necessarily make money. Instead of spending money on others, it's better to spend it on your own director. Why not cultivate reserve talents for Star Entertainment?
Therefore, for Star Entertainment, money is not a problem, not to mention that Wang Zhengfei wants to shoot a film, which can be said to support Wang Zhengfei to shoot even if he smashes the pot and sells iron.
