Chapter 403: Intense filming across the stars
After "In the Name of the People" became a hit in the first round, the broadcast rights for the second and third rounds were also sold, and the price was quite high.
The TV series has become popular, and the talented actors in it have also become popular at the same time. Not only have the salaries for future filming increased, but there have also been more crews looking for them to film.
However, these have nothing to do with Zhang Xiao.
All his energy is now focused on filming "Interstellar", a domestic science fiction movie.
Soon, one and a half months passed, and the scenes that needed to be shot in the Hengdian green screen studio were basically completed. Only Zhang Xiao, the protagonist, was left, which was a crucial scene in the play.
After passing through the black hole, Zhang Xiao entered a world of five-dimensional space.
In this five-dimensional space, Zhang Xiao still used the setting on the earth, and let people decorate a cubic bookshelf ten meters above the ground. It was full of densely packed books, representing the time nodes of the past and present.
The entire site is very elegantly arranged and looks like a maze from the outside.
Zhang Xiao wanted to use coercion to hang in the air, push the books on the bookshelf, and deliver the message to his daughter.
"Director Zhang, are you ready?" After everything was arranged and all departments were ready, deputy director Lin Chao asked loudly into the air.
Zhang Xiao responded with an OK gesture in mid-air.
Lin Chao, who was sitting in front of the monitor, shouted: "action!"
The filming officially started. With the help of coercion, Zhang Xiaofei went to a row of bookshelves, pushed down a few books with force, and 'looked' at himself and his daughter in the past.
"No...don't go~"
"You idiot, don't leave!~" At this moment, Zhang Xiao's eyes were red and he was bursting into tears.
He followed the Morse code, pushed the book crazily, and formed an English word: 'stay'.
Unfortunately, in this five-dimensional space, Zhang Xiao could not change anything. His past self still left his daughter.
"No~~~" A hysterical roar made Zhang Xiao burst into tears, his eyes filled with disappointment and despair.
"Click!" After catching Zhang Xiao's eyes, the first scene in the five-dimensional space ended.
Although it only lasted for a few dozen seconds, Zhang Xiao's performance still shocked everyone present.
"admire!"
"Xiao Shen's contagiousness is so strong that I shed tears when I saw it."
“This is the perfect combination of business and artistry. It’s an eye-opener!”
"Now I am full of confidence in our film."
While everyone was talking in low voices, Zhang Xiao flew down from the air. After watching the picture on the monitor, he shook his head and said: "The feelings are not strong enough, the emotions are not full enough, I should add a little bit of madness to it."
"It..." Lin Chao originally wanted to say, this is good enough, but after thinking about it, he still didn't say it. In the end, he had no choice but to say: "We will all cooperate with you, please."
If calculated according to the ten-point system, Zhang Xiao's performance just now could definitely reach 9.5 points or above, which is almost perfect, but Zhang Xiao is still not satisfied.
He is the director and he is not satisfied. As the assistant director, what can Lin Chao say?
Zhang Yi, who was standing behind, touched Duan Hong with his elbow and said softly: "See, this is the gap!"
Duan Hong nodded, sighed again, and said, "You have performed so well, but you are still not satisfied. No wonder Director Lin has that expression."
There is no doubt that Zhang Xiao was dissatisfied with the footage and would definitely need to reshoot it.
However, during the second reshoot, there was another problem with Coercion.
Next, once, twice, three times.
It wasn't until six shots were taken that Zhang Xiao was satisfied.
As soon as this scene ended, Zhang Xiao did not rest, but continued to shoot the second scene.
The second scene is relatively simple. It is mainly a dialogue between him and the robot. The purpose is to explain the mystery of the five-dimensional space so that movie fans can understand it.
The robot's voice was dubbed live by Lu Guangming, a master in the dubbing industry.
The two cooperated very well and passed the test in one go without any problems.
In the third scene, the protagonist played by Zhang Xiao suddenly thought of a way to use gravity to operate the second hand of the watch he gave to his daughter to transmit information.
Zhang Xiaotong stared at the world opposite the bookshelf with red eyes.
"What if your daughter never comes back to get this watch?" the robot asked.
Zhang Xiao said to the robot firmly: "She can do it, she will definitely do it."
"How do you know?" the robot asked.
Zhang Xiao did not answer, but after arriving at another time point, he replied solemnly: "Because, this watch was given to her by me."
"Click!"
The shot ends here.
In one morning, all the scenes in the five-dimensional space were completed.
Reba sighed helplessly: "Oh, it took tens of millions to decorate the bookshelf for two months, but it only took one morning. It was so expensive."
Zhou Xun, standing next to her, smiled and said, "But I believe it's all worth it."
Now, all the actors in the "Interstellar" crew admire Zhang Xiao's ability. When filming first started, everyone was more or less skeptical.
After all, Zhang Xiao has never managed such a science fiction blockbuster before, and he has invested so much in it that I am worried that he will mess it up.
But slowly, as they spent more time filming together, they discovered that Zhang Xiao seemed to be like a god, capable of anything.
Zhang Xi is very clear about photography, makeup, art and other departments. He even knows a lot about special effects.
The special effects team encountered some unresolved difficulties before, but when Zhang Xiao came over, they were solved quickly every time. Even Liu Haiquan praised Zhang Xiao as a special effects master.
The crew was able to film the scenes in the Hengdian Green Cloth Studio in one and a half months, and Zhang Xiao, the director and starring actor, was definitely the first to do so.
After finishing the scenes at Hengdian Film and Television City, Zhang Xiao flew to Iceland with his people the next day.
The environment of Iceland is unique on this planet. It only needs a little rendering on the computer, and it will immediately look like an alien planet.
Many Hollywood science fiction blockbusters have been filmed here, and Zhang Xiao's "Interstellar" is no exception.
After arriving in Iceland, they stayed here for half a month before the crew filmed all the necessary materials and returned to China.
Zhang Xiao called over deputy director Lin Chao and Liu Haiquan, the person in charge of special effects, and said to them: "I plan to give the crew a half-month holiday."
"Why?" Lin Chao asked in surprise.
The movie hasn't even been filmed yet, so you're going to take a half-month vacation all of a sudden?
Chapter completed!
