Superstar starts from the Film and Television Academy

The speculation from the outside world did not interfere with the normal filming of the crew, although there were people talking about it behind their backs, but when they saw that everything was calm and the crew was doing their work meticulously, the actors soon put aside their anxieties.

"Ka, ok, great, I declare, Mr. Zhao's drama, killed!"

A round of applause from the crew, Zhao Mengru dusted his face and head of ash, this is the last scene where he received a box lunch, his face and head are covered with ice, but when it is the middle of summer, with ice quickly melted, and finally had to switch to ash applied to the face later with special effects to cover.

"Thank you, all the hard work." Zhao Mengru also a long breath of relief, he has acted for so many years, really, but also this film is the most difficult to shoot, because there are too many special effects shots, a lot of times he is just acting to the air, only the director said play, he only know what kind of scene will be in front of him, it is a test of the skills of physical performance.

"Old man, hard work." Han Fei greeted him.

Zhao Mengru laughed bitterly, "It's hard enough, this almost didn't put my old life on the line here, hey, old geezer, the body can't do it, when I was young, it's not me bragging, making this film, don't even take oxygen."

Well, let's pretend you're not bragging, Han Fei spat under his breath, and then sent Zhao Mengru to the hotel to rest.

"When this film is being promoted, remember to support it, this old bone of mine can still help." Zhao Mengru ruthlessly shut off his saliva.

Han Fei nodded, "Of course." Honestly, if it wasn't for the fact that this film was too big of an investment and needed to be the best at every step to achieve the desired results, he wouldn't have been willing to let the old man run publicity along with it, it was too tiring.

For people who do things seriously, time always passes so casually, unconsciously, "wandering earth" shooting length officially reached a year.

The outside world for this investment of one billion, the production cycle is full of a year has not yet spread the news of the killing of the play, seems to have no enthusiasm, many media also began to turn their attention to other stars, gossip.

This year, the entertainment industry has not changed much, certain traffic star paste, and then a new batch of traffic, capital can always find a way to harvest leeks.

The same year, the Chinese language film market also appeared, a lot of high-quality movies, Gold Medal finally relied on a "little man" to get the eleventh box office championship, the total box office of 2.38 billion, this achievement was originally quite good, but compared to the previous eleventh box office records, this figure always feels a bit watery.

This year's Chinese language film market seems to be a bit silent, not at all like last year, the blossoming flowers, this situation also seems to extend to the New Year's Eve, until the New Year's Day, not a single film box office exceeded 2.5 billion.

The comment section of Douban.com also had a number of fans commenting that the Chinese film market was boring this year, while a number of fans also started talking about Han Fei.

What's more, some fans said that Han Fei's sudden silence made the entire Chinese film lose its original vitality, everyone seems to be busy making money, however, for the film itself, whether it's on the theme or visual effects, there is no innovation.

In this regard, Huang He Xiang said he was very hurt, it was hard to get a box office championship, but the result is no media coverage? This is too unscientific, you guys didn't react like this when Han Fei got the box office championship in the past.

One day in April after the new year, a news broke out on the Internet, "Wandering Earth" killed, a time many media can not even bother to verify the authenticity of the news, directly forwarded.

So the overwhelming public opinion, creating a sense of "that man is finally back".

Chapter 417 - The first promo video.

That's right, Han Fei is back in the public eye again, the "Wandering Earth" is finished, although it's only the live part of the killing, post-production still needs a lot of time, but, finally, there is news, right?

It was only at this time that many netizens realized that no matter how much they were not optimistic about "Wandering Earth", they had to admit that Han Fei and his team had spent several years getting used to their existence, and each of their films would receive extremely high attention, which was the most favorable reward for their insistence on the high-quality goods route in the past.

The killing of "Wandering Earth" meant that publicity was needed, and he was the biggest actor among the crew, so naturally he had to carry the burden of publicity.

"Han Fei, regarding the previous rumors that you failed to invest in oil and caused the financial chain to collapse, is it true?" Right at the airport in the capital, Han Fei is surrounded by reporters.

In fact, he was the one who released the news about the killing of "Wandering Earth".

"Of course, it's fake, didn't you see it? [Wandering Earth] has already been killed, and if I fail to invest, how can I have the money to make a movie?"

However, another reporter said, "The investment for [Wandering Earth] is as high as a billion dollars, and killing it is only the first step, there are a lot of special effects shots later on, will it affect the effects of the special effects?"

Han Fei shrugged his shoulders helplessly and used a joking tone, "Why can't you guys expect me to be nicer? So you think I'm losing money? Do I have to show you my card balance?"

"Of course that's good." A female reporter spoke out.

"You're so beautiful looking, don't think too much of it." Han Fei smiled at her.

"Haha~~~"

Zifeng followed behind Han Fei, watching him smoothly deal with the media, talking and laughing, not at all annoyed at being pressured by the reporters, can't help but admire, if she were to be asked a few questions like this, she would probably be at a loss, right?

The reporters saw Han Fei's calm and relaxed appearance, no investment failure at all, the heart can not help but also believe a few points, of course, to make things difficult must still continue, otherwise go back to take what article to deliver?

So a reporter asked: "Han Fei, as far as I know, this [Wandering Earth] has spent more than a year from the preparation of the script to the killing of the film, according to your previous shooting speed, two films have been shot, not counting the special effects production cycle behind, have you ever thought that even if [Wandering Earth] gets a breakthrough box office of five billion, for you. Still losing money?"

According to Han Fei's team's efficiency, by the time "Wandering Earth" is released, they will be able to shoot at least three movies, according to the revenue, he will definitely lose money, and it is a blood loss.

Han Fei's face also became solemn, "You're right, for the owner of the film and television company, I did lose money by making this movie, but for an actor and a film and television industry practitioner, I'm honored to be involved in the production of this movie."

"Some things are destined to need someone to do them, in which case why can't that someone be me? I'm sure [Wandering Earth] will become a milestone in Chinese science fiction films."

Han Fei said here, "And I'm not necessarily going to lose money, right? You know [Wandering Earth] is very promising to hit the international market, and the North American market is making dollars!"

"International markets?"

"Did I hear that right?"

The reporters were in a commotion, yes, today's Chinese language films, although blossoming and seemingly prosperous, in fact, deep down, but is eating the dividends of the mainland box office market, and how long this dividend can really be eaten is not easy to say, but the audience does not know the inside story, and do not want to hear this, so the media naturally do not want to mention more.

In fact, how many years has it been since a Chinese movie has made dollars? Three years? Or five years? I can't remember anymore, don't say commercial films, even art films have gone quiet, you know in the 1980s, to the beginning of the new century, Chinese art films that was blossoming, the three major film festivals every year, Chinese films win awards, and now? It seems like only some shameless actresses are going to rub up against the red carpet.

Feng Chi had also vowed before that he would break into the North American market, and what happened? I'm still in hot water.

After so many years, everyone seems to have forgotten the existence of the world's largest film market, North America, in addition to the mainland market, or has intentionally forgotten, because for Chinese films, it has become an unreachable heartbreak.

However, this time, Han Fei said with confidence that "Wandering Earth" was meant to hit the North American market from the beginning of filming.

"Big news!" Almost all the reporters had these four words floating in their minds.

There is still a long time to go before the release of "Wandering Earth", so the material can't be released all at once, but a little bit of news every once in a while can stir the audience's interest.

Of course, the next most important thing is the production of special effects. For "Wandering Earth", the success or failure of the special effects will determine 80% of whether the film can be successful.

Jiang Qinghou led the team into the editing room, except for eating and sleeping, almost didn't come out, and all the special effects team of "Skyworks" also quickly put into intense work.

The post-production of special effects was also very time-consuming, because they had to take into account both 2D and 3D versions.

Finally, two months later, Jiang made a fine cut, and everyone, including the special effects team, gathered in the screening room to watch it and discuss what needed to be improved.

In fact, generally speaking, the special effects should be done after editing, after all, the cost of special effects is very high, if the director cut the special effects with a pair of scissors, that would be too depressing.

Only if Han Fei and the others were like this from the beginning of the actual shooting, there was a special effects team that had been following up on the records, so that they could be coordinated.

After the fine cut version came out, and after half a month of revisions, the entire story structure was cleaned up, which also had a certain effect on the special effects production.

In October, "Wandering Earth" released its first promotional video, which was only a minute and a half long, but it caused a huge uproar on the Internet.

Most of the audience actually had mixed feelings before they clicked on it. But more than that, I'm still apprehensive, if the film doesn't live up to expectations, or even if it's a bad batch, won't all hopes be dashed?

Chapter 418: What about the promise of not looking good?

When the video is clicked on, a huge fireball comes into view, at which point a voice-over reads, "The Sun: the central object of the solar system, occupying 99.86% of the total mass of the solar system. It is approximately 1392000 km in diameter, and at this time he is aging very rapidly, and according to scientists, it is expected that in a hundred years it will become a red giant, thus engulfing the entire solar system, and the Earth will not escape extinction."

Just the opening ten seconds of the introduction made many viewers brighten up, which is fundamentally different from the setting of most western science fiction movies.

In the past, Western movies always liked to satirize that either humans had destroyed the Earth by misusing nuclear weapons, or humans had created something destructive to destroy the Earth, in short, the Earth's destruction was entirely mankind's own doing.
