Director: The special effects are too expensive, so I had to make real shots

Chapter 305 This time it’s an all-star director lineup!

After Xu Nuo determined the main cast of "The Wandering Earth" and agreed with the Space Administration and Science and Technology Administration on filming in outer space, the space station and the moon, the preparations and training work were on track.

"Boss, the crew of "The Wandering Earth" has been assembled. But boss, this time we go to the moon to shoot, aren't we going to go to the moon without the crew?"

Assistant Wen Ruohan came to the boss Xu Nuo and reported to him the gathering situation of the crew.

It has been several months since the filming of the last "Spider-Man" ended and the crew went on vacation. "Spider-Man" has finished its global hit. It is time for everyone to come back to work. The new project "Spider-Man" "The Wandering Earth" has been sharpened.

"Although we don't take the crew with us when shooting in outer space and the moon, we will definitely have to stay for a long time on this trip to the moon. During this time, the crew on the Blue Star can't just do nothing, right?"

Xu Nuo explained.

"Oh, I understand, both sides are filming at the same time. Boss, you are responsible for the actual shooting of outer space and the moon. Who will be filming on the Blue Star? And with your ability in making movies, boss, I am afraid no one can shoot it. As good as you, boss."

Although Wen Ruohan understood, she was still a little worried.

If the other plot scenes of "The Wandering Earth" were shot on the ground by someone else, I guess the footage produced would not be on the same level as the ones shot by the boss.

"Some big scenes, such as the space elevator sequence, must be done by myself, but other plots, such as Zhou Zhezhi's scenes, can be left to people I trust."

Xu Nuo said to his assistant Wen Ruohan very calmly.

In fact, Xu Nuo had already made arrangements.

Since we have to go to outer space and the moon for real-life shooting, it basically means that Xu Nuo cannot direct and shoot all the plot scenes of "The Wandering Earth" alone.

Because if Xu Nuo was allowed to do it all, one year would probably not be enough to shoot the movie. After all, just going to outer space and the moon, there is no telling how long it would take.

So Xu Nuo planned and divided the filming of "The Wandering Earth" into three parts.

The first part, which is also the most difficult part, is the part where Xu Nuo leads the team to outer space and the moon for real-life shooting. Preparations for this part have already begun, and Xu Nuo will do it himself.

The second part includes some large-scene shots that require the use of a large amount of equipment, including drone swarms, fighter jet swarms, defense phalanxes, etc.

These big scenes also need to be shot in real life, so naturally they can only be shot by Xu Nuo. After all, Xu Nuo is probably the only person in the world who can control such big scene shots that require the use of a large amount of military equipment.

The most important point is that if you want to use these military equipment for real-life photography, only if Xu Nuo greets the Science and Technology Department, will the Science and Technology Department agree to provide equipment to assist Xu Nuo in filming.

So this part must also be shot by Xu Nuo. Of course, these are all things after Xu Nuo returned from the moon.

The third part is the content of other literary dramas, such as Zhou Zhezhi's plot, some scenes between Liu Peiqiang and Han Duoduo, and other plot scenes that are relatively less difficult. Xu Nuo can leave these to Xu Nuo A director whom I can trust.

When Xu Nuo goes to outer space and the moon to shoot the actual scenes, here on the ground, he can let his trusted director lead the crew to shoot the third part.

This can save the filming cycle of "The Wandering Earth", but despite this, Xu Nuo estimates that the filming cycle of "The Wandering Earth" will definitely be slightly longer than most previous movies.

"Sir, the car has arrived."

Just as Xu Nuo was talking with his assistant Wen Ruohan, Guan Ju's voice suddenly sounded.

At the same time, the holographic display on the desktop showed the surveillance screen at the entrance of the smart villa, and a black SUV parked at the door.

The next second, Xu Nuo's cell phone received a call from He Feiyang: "Hey Lao Xu, Director Wang and I are here."

"I see, come in."

After Xu Nuo finished speaking, the door of the smart villa opened under Guan Ju's control.

The car drove into the villa courtyard and parked in the outdoor parking area. Then two people got out of the car, it was He Feiyang and Wang Shifeng.

"Boss, I understand. This time I really understand."

When Wen Ruohan saw He Feiyang and Wang Shifeng, he understood everything.

It seems that the boss has already chosen a director to be responsible for filming some of the plot scenes of "The Wandering Earth".

"What do you understand?"

Xu Nuo smiled and asked.

"Boss, you are planning to let Director He and Director Wang shoot other plots of "The Wandering Earth" on the Blue Star while you are leading the team to the moon, right?"

Wen Ruohan put his hands on his hips and said confidently.

"Yes."

Xu Nuo nodded and said with emotion: "In China, the two directors I trust most are A Fei and Director Wang."

The two of them, one is one of the most powerful veteran directors in China, and the other is a good brother who is supported by Xu Nuo. They are the people Xu Nuo knows best.

Xu Nuo was very relieved to give the two of them the responsibility for filming the third part of "The Wandering Earth" and let them be his assistant directors this time.

"Old Xu!"

"Director Xu!"

After He Feiyang and Wang Shifeng entered the smart villa, they greeted Xu Nuo.

"Sit down, sit down, what would you like to drink?"

Xu Nuo walked straight over, sat on the sofa, and invited the two of them to sit too.

"Guan Ju, give me a glass of boiled water. I'm keeping in good health recently."

He Feiyang touched his belly and said to Guan Ju with a smile.

"Okay, Director Wang, should I still go to Biluochun?"

Xu Nuo looked at Director Wang Shifeng.

"Ah."

Wang Shifeng nodded, and then asked curiously: "Director Xu, what's the reason for calling us here this time?"

He Feiyang and Wang Shifeng still didn't know why Xu Nuo called them here. After all, they both "worked" at Real Media before this, that is, they each had their own movie or TV series projects.

Director Wang Shifeng, in addition to preparing for "Thor 2", also has a short drama "Interesting Things on the Road to Searching for Thor's Hammer", which requires Wang Shifeng to pay more attention.

As for "Thor 2", as the second part of the "Thor" series, it will definitely be directed by director Wang Shifeng. After all, the most taboo thing about a series of movies like this is to change directors midway.

The short drama "Interesting Facts on the Road to Searching for Thor's Hammer" was filmed by a new director signed by Real Media, with Wang Shifeng in charge of directing.

"Yes, Lao Xu, there must be something big, related to "The Wandering Earth"? I heard that preparations for "The Wandering Earth" are already in full swing during this period." He Feiyang guessed.

Don't tell me, you really let this kid guess it right.

"Yes, I called you two here to discuss the movie "The Wandering Earth" with you. Oh, by the way, Fei, how is the movie "The Silent Truth" that you filmed?"

Xu Nuo explained briefly, but first asked about the situation of the domestic TV series "The Silent Truth" that He Feiyang was previously responsible for.

"It's all done and has been reviewed. It will be broadcast soon."

He Feiyang replied.

"That's good."

Hearing this, Xu Nuo nodded with satisfaction.

If He Feiyang is still in charge of the film and television drama project "The Silent Truth", then it will be inconvenient for Xu Nuo to let him join the film crew of his "The Wandering Earth".

"That's right, I want you two to come to my crew of "The Wandering Earth" as my assistant director and be responsible for shooting part of the movie's plot."

Xu Nuo directly explained to He Feiyang and Wang Shifeng why he called them over.

After hearing this, He Feiyang and Wang Shifeng looked at each other, and then both nodded.

It's just that both of them must be very confused. They think about a movie. Logically speaking, Director Xu and the crew can definitely handle it by himself. Why did they think of calling themselves to help?

"Old Xu, you can't handle the movie "The Wandering Earth"?"

He Feiyang finally asked the doubts in his heart.

"I can definitely shoot it by myself, but this time the workload of "The Wandering Earth" may be more, and there are many complicated and difficult places. If I just rely on myself, I'm afraid it will cost a lot. Time."

Xu Nuo explained with a smile: "In the next long period of time, I will take the actors to train, and then I will take the actors to the Tiangong Space Station and to the moon to shoot scenes in "The Wandering Earth."

As soon as these words came out, He Feiyang and Wang Shifeng were immediately stunned.

Before this, they didn't know that Xu Nuo was planning to go to outer space and the moon to shoot "The Wandering Earth". After all, Xu Nuo only told the Science and Technology Department and Colonel Luo Wei about this at first, and later told the actors.

"What?"

After He Feiyang was stunned for a while, he came back to his senses, looked at Xu Nuo with wide eyes and asked: "Old Xu, are you going to outer space, or even to the moon for real-life shooting?"

"correct."

Xu Nuo smiled, his face full of calmness.

Although Wang Shifeng was also surprised, he behaved more calmly: "Director Xu, you are worthy of being what the audience calls a real-shooting madman. Director Xu, what you want is for me and Xiaohe to lead the team with you. When going to outer space and the moon, will you be responsible for filming on the ground?"

"Yeah, I don't know how long my trip will take this time, and I basically won't bring the crew with me this time, so I can't just waste time on the ground. I don't want to make a movie The cycle of filming became one year or even two years.”

Xu Nuo nodded and explained, "So when I go to the moon, I will leave it to you two, Director Wang and A Fei, to film part of the plot of "The Wandering Earth" on the ground."

"Hiss! Suddenly, I feel like God is going to give this person a great responsibility."

He Feiyang joked.

"Director Xu, I'm worried that if Xiao He and I don't have the ability to control live shots like you do, if it doesn't go well, won't it delay your movie?"

Director Wang Shifeng said very modestly.

In fact, what he said is also true. Who in this world dares to say that his filmmaking, especially the actual shooting, can be compared with Xu Nuo?
"I believe in the strength of you two, and don't put too much pressure on you. This time "The Wandering Earth" is going to give you two the responsibility for filming, mainly for those who prefer literary dramas. This kind of drama is directed by Wang, A Fei , you two must be fine."

Xu Nuo explained.

Later, Xu Nuo asked his assistant Wen Ruohan to bring over the script that had been prepared and handed it to He Feiyang and Wang Shifeng.

"Since you said so, Lao Xu, then I will go all out!"

He Feiyang naturally said nothing. As long as Lao Xu asked him to do something, he would just do it with his heart.

"Well, I think I am very honored to be able to participate in the shooting of the same movie as you, Director Xu."

Director Wang Shifeng also nodded and said with some expectation.

"In the past, when A Fei didn't make movies by himself, he shot "Terminator" and "Transformers" with me."

Xu Nuo smiled and introduced the past events between himself and He Feiyang to Director Wang Shifeng.

"Yes, I followed Lao Xu at that time, but I learned a lot."

When He Feiyang talked about these things, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Looking back now, it was really fruitful. This time in "The Silent Truth," I used many of Lao Xu's novel ideas when making movies."

"You are now considered a well-known director in China, and together with our director Wang, this time "The Wandering Earth" has an all-star director lineup."

Xu Nuo has already thought about it. When the time comes, the names of Director Wang Shifeng and He Feiyang will definitely be placed in the main director row with his own director's name.

And Xu Nuo has also learned from the system that when he is shooting a movie, he can follow the normal movie mode and let his director be responsible for shooting part of the shots.

That's why Xu Nuo hired directors He Feiyang and Wang Shifeng to help him shoot the third part of "The Wandering Earth".

"Actually, what I'm more interested in is, Director Xu, when you go to space and the moon to shoot the actual scene, it must be very difficult, right?"

Director Wang Shifeng asked curiously.

"We must make full coordination and preparations with the Science and Technology Administration and the Space Administration. Rockets, space shuttles, space stations, space ships, etc. will all be used when the time comes."

Xu Nuo gave a brief introduction.

"I heard that the actor chosen this time, Lao Xu, did you use Xiong Li to play the protagonist Liu Peiqiang?"

Although I didn't know that Xu Nuo was going to the moon to shoot "The Wandering Earth", He Feiyang was familiar with the casting of "The Wandering Earth".

Of course he knew Xiong Li. When He Feiyang was filming a movie with Xu Nuo, Xiong Li was a regular actor in the film crew. He had played the male lead and supporting roles. He was a growing actor. Xu Nuo had The one excavated in Hengdian has now grown up and is used by Xu Nuo to play the leading role.

"Yes, it's Xiong Li. In addition to Xiong Li, there are many actors who will go to heaven with me to film "The Wandering Earth". It's a pity that this time, Fei, you can't experience being in the blue with me. It feels like filming a movie outside the stars, hahahaha.”

Xu Nuo laughed.

"Oh, what a pity indeed!"
