As soon as the nominations for the Academy Awards came out, Wang Zhengfei, who was already at the forefront of the limelight, attracted the attention of countless people. If the previous engagement was considered love, then the current Academy Award is career. In the eyes of many people
, Wang Zhengfei’s love career is undoubtedly a double harvest.
I don’t know how many people envied me at that time.
However, Wang Zhengfei himself does not have the leisure time to pay attention to this matter, because the filming of "After Ascension" is about to start, and he still has a lot of preparation work to do, and he cannot take care of the matter of "The Age of Naked Wedding" because of the release of "The Age of Naked Wedding"
The time was almost the same as the filming time of "After Ascension". He could only choose one choice. In the end, he chose "After Ascension" because the work of "After Ascension" was inseparable from him, and Gao Yan should be able to do "The Age of Naked Wedding".
It's done properly, and it shouldn't be a big problem even without him.
The Spring Festival has passed, and the cold wind has passed its worst. Wang Zhengfei's vacation is over, and he immediately rushed to Shaanxi for on-the-spot investigation.
Wang Zhengfei’s main location for this shooting was still in Shaanxi. Although Taikoo should be a fairyland in the usual sense, according to the description in the book, Taikoo should be a vast scene, and there is no fairyland in the traditional sense.
The world of Xia is so exaggerated. The traditional fairyland should be the kind of green moss piled with blue, white clouds and jade, light flickers of haze, rows of cranes flying together, and immortals riding auspicious clouds flying all over the sky, but in "After Ascension"
That's not the case at all. It should be desolate, the environment is quite harsh, monsters are rampant, and there are countless mountains and mountains. It is simply not something ordinary people can survive. There is also an extremely harsh environment like the devil's world.
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 site. This shooting is destined to be very difficult, unlike the last time "
"Qin Shi Mingyue" is completely different. This time there are more action scenes, more difficulty, and a harsher environment. The last time "Qin Shi Mingyue" was filmed, it was still set in a famous scenic spot, and now
, any scenic spots are really just floating clouds. It is impossible to go to any scenic spots. On the contrary, you have to shoot in some particularly harsh places. There are many scenes in the novel that need to be shot at high altitude, and many of them need to be shot in the sky.
Go to some particularly steep mountains to shoot.
Therefore, the filming work this time made the staff so excited. In the past, the filming work was to select super beautiful scenic spots such as Jiuzhaigou and other beautiful scenic spots. They could browse while selecting the scenery.
In these places, it can be said that it is still a relatively easy job, but now it is completely different. The requirements now are in very dangerous places. It can be said that this is difficult for the staff, because most of these places are simply
If it is not in a scenic area, after all, it is such a dangerous place and few people want to see it. If it is not in a scenic area, there are all kinds of inconveniences. There are no hotels, no cable cars, no various equipment and tools, and there are even many places.
There is no road. In this case, it is pure suffering.
They still had to comprehensively frame the scene in these places, take a large number of photos, and then send them back to Wang Zhengfei for selection. After Wang Zhengfei selected these places, he had to go back to confirm them in person. After all, the environment of the scene cannot be completely captured by just a few photos.
Whether the photos taken are in line with Wang Zhengfei’s inner thoughts will only be known when we get to the scene.
Wang Zhengfei's requirements are very high. He has a lot of ideas about "After Ascension". "After Ascension" can be said to be the movie that he has taken the longest to prepare for and will take the longest to shoot since his debut. It is destined to be
After putting so much effort into it, it was impossible to just kill him casually.
This is his great work that hits the international market. Nowadays, Western magical works are prevalent in the world, and he wants to use this "After Ascension" to tell the world that compared with Eastern fantasy, the so-called Western magic is too
Xiaojiazi was angry.
The most famous fantasy works in the world now are undoubtedly "Harry Potter" and "The Lord of the Rings". Let's not talk about "Harry Potter". Although it is very popular, it cannot change its nature.
How grand can a children's book written for children be? Although the background of "Lord of the Rings" is also grand, compared with the background setting of "After Ascension", it is simply not interesting enough. It is completely
It's not a heavyweight.
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 status as a heavenly country definitely brings not only the so-called complacency and arrogance, but also that
Many people think that the self-confidence and vision in the bones have been eliminated along with China's modern history of humiliation and enslaved culture. However, in fact, the pride in the bones penetrates into the bones and is difficult to be directly detected. However,
Every time he raises his hand or his foot, five thousand years of pride are reflected behind him.
Just like modern Japan seems to be quite brilliant and quite successful, but looking at their works, such as the very popular Naruto, the layout is quite similar. In such a small place, the village is still the main unit, and
The writers of Chinese online articles, even those who are very popular, usually set a very grand background. These are not very subjective and conscious to pay attention to, but more subconsciously, ab subconsciously.
The continent of ninjas can only be set to be so small, and Chinese Poujie authors will also subconsciously set the background of the story to be very grand. What this reflects is the accumulation of five thousand years of boss culture, just like a noble, even if
No matter how depressed you are, you will subconsciously look at things from the perspective of an aristocrat. However, even if a nouveau riche suddenly becomes rich all of a sudden, your perspective will only be limited to the past. It is not without reason that the aristocracy needs to settle down.
The same is true in China, Europe and the United States, especially the wars in the European Middle Ages. It seems to be a joke. The lord of a castle is also a lord. A few hundred people is a battle, and a few thousand people have to be recorded in the annals of history.
There is a great war, and novels written under this background are inherently flawed, and that’s what they are.
If the same conditions were used, the magic and fantasy films produced would not be on the same level at all. Western magic would be too petty no matter how you look at it, and that's how it is at its core.
And Wang Zhengfei wants to use a fantasy blockbuster like "After Ascension" to tell people all over the world that the so-called magic in Hollywood is too petty and is nothing compared to Chinese fantasy.
Of course, this only refers to the background of the story. If we talk about stunt technology, hardware conditions, etc., it is still stronger than Hollywood, but this strength is just the hardware.
In today's society, nothing that money can solve is a problem. For the wealthy Star Entertainment, anything that money can solve is not a problem. Is Star Entertainment the richest in the world? Of course not, in the world's movies
There are many people in the company who are richer than Star Entertainment, but they are not as bold as Star Entertainment. Since their shares are mixed, and they are in Hollywood, their expenses are much higher. They also support two or three movies, and their expenses are
It is more than twenty times that of Xingchen Entertainment. Under this situation, no matter how wealthy they are, they will still find it very difficult.
But Star Entertainment is different. Star Entertainment is based in China, and its manpower is basically cheap. Star Entertainment has only been established for a few years. In fact, there are very few movies and TV series that are being shot at the same time. Even according to Hollywood
According to the standard to support Wang Zhengfei's works, the remaining budget can also support the simultaneous shooting of ten movies with an investment of more than 100 million US dollars. One billion is just a movie of more than 100 million US dollars. This is the benefit of low prices. Of course
Even if Xingchen Entertainment wanted to invest, no one would come to shoot. There are still too few people in Xingchen Entertainment, but Gao Yan doesn't want to find some directors to shoot. For example, top-notch, fixed-capacity directors like Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, etc.
Although directors who make money also need investment, their investors are generally a relatively stable group of people. How can it be so easy for Star Entertainment to hire them for filming? Even if they want to participate in their investment,
It's not that easy. Small circles have formed around these big directors. It's not that easy for outsiders to get involved. There are vested interest groups.
As for the second-tier directors below them, there is no guarantee that they will make money, and there is still a certain trend. If this is the case, why not choose directors from your own company? Anyway, they are not necessarily profitable, so instead of spending money
Instead of spending money on other people, it is better to spend it on your own director, and you can also cultivate reserve talents for Star Entertainment, so why not.
Therefore, for Xingchen Entertainment, money is not an issue, not to mention that Wang Zhengfei wants to make a film, so it can be said that even if it means selling iron, we must support Wang Zhengfei to continue filming.
