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

Chapter 340: Choose Fairy Chang'e or Tiangong Space Station?

I have to say that Teacher Bai Yutang's acting skills are truly superb.

One second he was still in a normal state, and the next second he quickly entered the character, as if he had become one with the character of astronaut Zhang Peng.

As a director, Xu Nuo couldn't help but marvel after watching it. Is this the powerful skills of an actor with decades of experience?

What is an actor? This is an actor who can play himself into a character and at the same time be able to withdraw from the character, return to reality and become himself.

Xiong Li, who originally thought that his acting skills had been honed very well, thought he was awesome after seeing Teacher Bai Yutang's performance today.

"It seems I still have a long way to go."

This time he came to the moon. After seeing the performances of two national first-class actors, Teacher Zhong Dengwen and Teacher Bai Yutang, Xiong Li was convinced from the bottom of his heart. If he had not personally seen these two teachers showing such power on the set, As for his acting skills, I guess Xiong Li will think that his acting skills are already very good, and maybe he will feel a little bit illusory in his heart.

But now, Xiong Li only has one thought in his mind, that is, he is still very young, and there is still a long way to go. There are many things that need to be learned, understood, and understood.

"You boy, it's good to have such an idea. Among domestic actors, there are not many actors who are as enlightened as you. After more and more actors reach the stage where their acting skills are sufficient, it will be difficult for them to grow and grow. I’m very motivated to make progress.”

When Xu Nuo saw Xiong Li sighing after watching Teacher Bai Yutang's performance, he came over and said to him: "Keep working hard."

"Yeah, Director Xu, I will try my best."

At this time, Xiong Li couldn't help but think of his original intention of making a movie with Director Xu, which was to grow from a walk-on in Hengdian Film and Television City to a movie king.

Although the movie star has not yet achieved this goal, Xiong Li has a new goal, which is to become a national first-class actor and veteran artist like Teacher Bai Yutang and Teacher Zhong Dengwen.

An old artist may not necessarily be old. Xiong Li feels that he still has a long time to continuously improve himself and constantly touch the middle panel of his ceiling.

"I believe you can do it."

Xu Nuo gave Xiong Li the greatest trust and affirmation. As a director, this is the greatest support he can give him now. After all, Xiong Li's current acting skills basically no longer need Xu Nuo's guidance.

In Xu Nuo's view, after passing the stage where he needs his own guidance to play the role well, his acting skills and strength have been sublimated and he has entered the next stage.

At present, Xiong Li has entered the next stage. As for the talented Li Cheng and Feng Shuwan who were trained by Xu Nuo before, it is not enough for them to go through one "Spider-Man". Maybe they will star in one or two Spider-Man movies in the future. Like Xiong Li, he will have strong acting skills and then enter the next stage to continue to improve himself.

After they enter the next stage, Xu Nuo's guidance as a director does not have much meaning. Just like when Teacher Bai Yutang and Teacher Zhong Dengwen were filming, Xu Nuo did not need to guide them how to play their roles well. , they themselves can fully understand the role.

"Director Xu, when I don't have a role in Moon Over the Moon, I will use this time to settle down and fully understand the role of Liu Peiqiang."

Xiong Li was still very motivated and expressed his stance immediately.

"Okay, there will be at least more than a month left, and the scenes on the moon are almost finished filming, but there is no way, we won't be able to go back to Blue Star for a while."

Xu Nuo spread his hands and said with a smile.

In fact, after these days of smooth shooting, the plot scenes on the moon for my movie "The Wandering Earth" have been shot to a minimum. If this continues smoothly, Xu Nuo will be given at most one week. Now you can wrap up and completely finish shooting the moon.

If everything goes according to the original plan, then Xu Nuo will take the crew with him to leave the near-lunar orbit on the Tiangong Space Station after filming the lunar scenes of "The Wandering Earth", return to low-Earth orbit, and then use the space shuttle to return Blue Star Ground.

But this was all the original plan.

Now Xu Nuo, his film crew, and Colonel Luo Wei still need to stay on the moon for more than a month. The estimated time given by the space agency is that it will take 42 days.

There is nothing Xu Nuo can do. Only after 42 days will the Tiangong Space Station return to the near-lunar orbit, and then Xu Nuo and others can take the Tiangong Space Station back to Blue Star.

Otherwise, with a distance of nearly 40 kilometers, would it be possible for the lunar spacecraft to rely on the Guanghan Palace base on the moon?

In fact, although this distance is very far, Xu Nuo can fly back wearing his black armor steel suit. After all, there is a powerful cold fusion reactor. There is no need to worry about energy, but Xu Nuo will definitely not do this. Do it, because although there is no need to worry about energy, Xu Nuo is only a human being after all, and as a human being he needs to work. Flying in space, especially flying in a black armor and steel suit, there is no way to do it.

Since we still have to wait for the Tiangong Space Station to come back, Xu Nuo and his actors are also mentally prepared.

So in the next week, Xu Nuo continued to shoot his "The Wandering Earth".

However, Xu Nuo did not finish filming within a week.

Because it only lasts for a week, it is expected that everything will go smoothly, but obviously during the filming process, not everything will go very smoothly.

In the end, it took Xu Nuo about twelve days to finally shoot all the scenes on the moon that he planned for "The Wandering Earth" with the full support and cooperation of the Guanghan Palace Lunar Base.

At this point, Xu Nuo's filming work on the Tiangong Space Station and the moon in outer space is all over.

Overall, it went quite smoothly, and there were unexpected gains.

This unexpected gain was the discovery of TO kinetic energy-absorbing metal materials in the meteorite impact craters on the back of the moon. This is definitely a gain of great significance.

Since Xu Nuo was the first to discover this kind of T0 metal material in the lunar soil and lunar rocks on the back of the moon, the Science and Technology Administration revealed some information to Xu Nuo. Because of this discovery, Xu Nuo estimates that he will be able to obtain it next year. To a National Science Award.

Now the National Science Award is actually not that important to Xu Nuo, but since it is such a high honor, Xu Nuo still has to accept it.

Xu Nuo is currently on the moon, waiting for the results of research on T0 metal materials from the Academy of Sciences at Blue Star.

Chen Shu from the Science and Technology Department said that Xu Nuo would be notified as soon as possible after the research results from the Academy of Sciences come out.Xu Nuo therefore had to wait for the news.

However, while waiting for news from the Academy of Sciences, Xu Nuo also received some news from his own real media.

The two more important ones are our own Real Group. One is in Gabon, Heizhou. The first phase of the space elevator project started by the Real Group has been fully launched, and the Science and Technology Administration and the Space Administration are preparing to enter the project in advance.

The original intention of the Science and Technology Department and the Space Administration was that even if it was feasible to build a space elevator, it would still be a costly space project. The budgets of the Science and Technology Department and the Space Administration for the past two years were really too tight. After all, there were too many projects. Too many projects require money, so at first the Science and Technology Administration and the Space Administration planned to join the project after one or two years, with Xu Nuo's Real Group developing them first.

However, since the Real Group really dared to invest a lot of manpower, material resources and funds to build this space elevator, the higher authorities have now approved another fund for the Science and Technology Administration. Therefore, the Science and Technology Administration and the Space Administration will plan to enter the space elevator project in advance. .

In addition to information related to the space elevator project, another thing Xu Nuo paid more attention to was the part of his film "The Wandering Earth" that was shot for directors He Feiyang and Wang Shifeng.

In addition to the group of actors Xu Nuo brought to the moon, Xu Nuo handed over all other crew members and actors of "The Wandering Earth" to his good friends He Feiyang and Wang Shifeng.

Although the two of them were scheduled to be used to shoot the literary and dramatic parts of "The Wandering Earth", it actually included not only the literary and dramatic parts, but also some non-big scenes. Xu Nuo also gave them to the two of them to shoot.

Because Xu Nuo was unable to return to Blue Star as originally planned and would be delayed for a while, in order to ensure that the filming plan of "The Wandering Earth" would not be disrupted, Xu Nuo asked directors He Feiyang and Wang Shifeng to help him shoot more. .

Xu Nuo has seen the materials that He Feiyang and Director Wang Shifeng have shot before. If we follow the standard of [-]% perfection, Xu Nuo saw that basically all the materials can reach the level of [-] or [-]%, which is already quite good. .

After all, the movie "The Wandering Earth" mainly relies on the overall story and grand scenes. Xu Nuo's minimum acceptance level for literature and drama is that it is good if it can score above [-] or [-] points.

In fact, the main thing is the actors.

Because for literary drama, the most test is undoubtedly the acting level of the actors.

Facts have proved that none of the actors selected by Xu Nuo were bad. Even actresses such as Feng Shuwan, Zhou Youqing, and Cheng Zhixin all have their own acting abilities.

Not to mention the addition of actors such as Hollywood's Quint Hansen.

And Chen Xuehua, a national first-class actor who plays Zhou Zhezhi, is even more powerful than Bai Yutang and Zhong Dengwen.

With such a huge and luxurious lineup, coupled with two powerful directors, He Feiyang and Wang Shifeng, if they can't even film some scenes that are not difficult, wouldn't it be a complete failure?
After Xu Nuo handed over more scenes of "The Wandering Earth" to directors He Feiyang and Wang Shifeng, the strictness of his own control was also maximized.

Anyway, although I can't communicate with the two of them face to face, the material they shot can be transmitted to the Moon Guanghan Palace Base through the Tiangong Space Station and relay satellites.

Xu Nuo will go through the material of each scene one by one several times. If Xu Nuo is dissatisfied with it, he will go back and rewrite it. No, it will be a reshoot!
In the past few months, Xu Nuo was asked to go back and reshoot not many things. There were only three times in total. The small details of three plot points were not enough to satisfy Xu Nuo.

So the two directors on Blue Star, He Feiyang and Wang Shifeng, carefully polished and discussed it over and over again until they came up with plot details that satisfied Xu Nuo.

The movie "The Wandering Earth" is like this. You need to stuff a lot of details into the movie. Whether it's big scenes or drama, you need to insert many details to complete the world view of the entire novel.

After all, relying solely on movies to tell stories may make many novel and book fans realize that a lot of things are missing. If these things were told through the plot in the movie, it would be too long. It would probably be too long to add two hours to the movie. not enough.

So the best choice at this time is undoubtedly to insert various small details into the movie. In this way, the audience may not be able to observe it the first time they watch it in the cinema, but after watching it, they will definitely notice it. All kinds of analysis, then at this time, the audience discovered the details, and these details are crucial to the perfection of the world view of the entire movie, subsequent plot guesses, etc., then at this time the audience will definitely feel numb. Call the director awesome!
The time Xu Nuo was waiting for news and waiting for the Tiangong Space Station was much more leisurely than when he was busy filming "The Wandering Earth".

Especially waiting for the arrival of the Tiangong Space Station is like waiting for Chang'e to fly.

"If you were asked to choose, would you choose to fly here from Tiangong Space Station or fly here from Fairy Chang'e?"

On this day, in the Guanghan Palace lunar base, Xu Nuo and his film crew took advantage of their free time to discuss the scenes related to the subsequent shooting back to Blue Star.

But while chatting, when everyone takes a break or talks about other topics, it is easy to get off topic.

No, Xiong Li and Ma Yong are the two people who are the best at talking. Originally, they were talking about when the Tiangong Space Station would return to the moon, but now they were talking about the Tiangong Space Station and Fairy Chang'e.

"That must be Fairy Chang'e."

Ma Yong said with bright eyes: "As the saying goes, it is difficult for a hero to be a beauty."

"If you choose Fairy Chang'e, you can only stay on the moon with Fairy Chang'e from now on. You can't go back to Blue Star. Teacher Ma, don't you think about it carefully?"

Xiong Li asked with raised eyebrows.

"Is there such a good thing?"

When Ma Yong heard this, his eyes widened even more.

Teachers Zhong Dengwen and Bai Yutang on the side just smiled and said nothing. This is a topic that Xiong Li and Ma Yong, who are younger, would discuss.

"Director Xu, if you were asked to choose, would you choose Tiangong Space Station or Fairy Chang'e?"

Xiong Li immediately approached Xu Nuo and asked.

"I"

Xu Nuo was thinking about it when he suddenly heard Colonel Luo Wei shouting to him not far away: "Old Xu, Old Xu, there is news from the Academy of Sciences!"
