Chapter 67 "Raising a Baby Director": (5)

The movie "The Lost Land" is not Xie Yan's first film, but it is the first time Xie Yan has used a "real camera" to shoot a movie. The last mission world, because of the opening of the holographic theater, watch Movie audiences all have an immersive feeling, but this world is an ordinary big-screen movie. Xie Yan specially adjusted the viewing effect for the adaptation of ordinary 3D movies and the finished film shot by real cameras.

Although watching movies with 3D technology in theaters is more three-dimensional than ordinary 2D movies, the effect of watching movies with 3D glasses is much worse. It is not as good as many people watch movies on mobile phones.However, the filming effect of the film shot by the real camera will be much higher than that of ordinary 3D movies, and the audience will often forget that they are watching a movie when watching the movie, which has a strong sense of substitution. confidence and self-confidence, of course everything still has to be based on the film.

"The Lost Land" is an adventure movie. The plot is that the male protagonist and his party heard a story, traveled together to die, broke into a forest called "Lost Land", and then a group of people gradually lost and separated.In order to find his teammates, the male protagonist escaped several times, and finally watched his teammates die one after another. The male protagonist was also forced to a dead end and jumped off the cliff. Below the cliff is the sea leading to the boundless sea.Fortunately, the hero was rescued by the merman in the sea. In the end, the merman gave him a kiss and sent him to the shore in person. The hero saw the last group of people, only he was alive, and felt a sense of loss.

At the time of shooting, several young supporting actors looked terrified.

"Ah, ah, I'm going to die."

"Mom, there is a tiger, woo woo woo..."

"I want to go home, I will go home, ahh, help!"

Several young actors were going crazy. In front of the green screen, several actors ran away in fright. The expressions couldn't be more real. It was this line that made people laugh, but they were even more curious about what they saw?

"Cut!" Xie Yan shouted, Gu Yuyang turned off the 'real camera', and several big men entered the shooting scene to restrain the male and female supporting roles.

"calm down."

"Wake up, this is filming."

With the scolding and help of a group of staff, a group of actors gradually realized that they were filming just now.

A few seconds later, I saw one of the girls with a sad face, quickly took off the shooting button on her chest, and put it away from herself.

"Woo~ I won't be filming anymore, I want to go home." The girl's name is Zhang Hui, and she doesn't have many scenes, but the scene she plays has a scene where she is chased and killed by a boa constrictor, and is finally hanged and brutally dismembered.

What was shot just now was the scene where the team dispersed and she was chased by the boa constrictor.The shooting of the virtual base was so real that when the erect dark green pupils, 30 meters long and as thick as the waist of a bucket chased her, she almost passed out.

Although the director let them get used to it for a long time, and everyone has touched a python and a tiger, which almost disappeared when touched, it is true that what the director said is just a set of ordinary data.But when it was time to shoot, Zhang Hui and other actors really couldn't let go of the fear in their hearts. In addition, Zhang Hui had been afraid of snakes since he was a child, not to mention such a thick and long boa constrictor. Just those dark green The pupils made Zhang Hui almost collapsed, let alone filming a scene where he was eaten by it?

As the director, Xie Yan naturally went up to appease these young actors.

"Don't cry, don't cry, it's just some ordinary data."

Zhang Hui was still crying at the scene, she hugged her knees and twitched, looking extremely pitiful.

And there were other people at the scene who couldn't bear it and broke out completely.

"I won't be filming anymore. What the hell is this filming? This is killing people. Whoever loves filming will be filming. I will stop filming." One of the supporting actors, Ye Zhanpeng, was furious. His eyes were red, and he took off his body. The clothes fell to the ground hard, and the buttons were caught on the clothes, and they were also thrown to the ground.

Immediately, Xie Yan's face became ugly.

Just now Zhang Hui picked up the shooting button, Xie Yan didn't say anything, because he saw that Zhang Hui just put it on the ground and didn't destroy the shooting button himself.And Ye Zhanpeng didn't force himself to thank him for not wanting to film, but if he vented his anger with the filming buttons he worked so hard to make, then don't blame him for not being able to tolerate him.He made a total of 7 of these shooting buttons, and each one is extremely precious. No one else feels sorry for him, but Xie Yan loves him.

Seeing this, he didn't bother to comfort Ye Zhanpeng like he did to Zhang Hui just now, and said directly to Gu Yuyang next to him.

"Okay, he doesn't want to shoot anymore, so arrange someone to send him back. You go back to school and ask Mr. Liu to help you choose another actor who is bold and wants to come and shoot."

Although Gu Yuyang is a photographer, currently there is only one "real camera" in the group, and most of them are the supervisor Xie Yan.

"Well, I'll call Teacher Liu right away."

After finishing speaking, Gu Yuyang waved to several staff members, and immediately stepped forward to pull Ye Zhanpeng away from the crew.

Ye Zhanpeng's eyes widened, looking at the several burly men rushing up, he became anxious and struggled hastily.

"What do you want to do?"

"Didn't you stop filming?" Gu Yuyang narrowed his eyes and continued: "If you stop filming, then I will send you back to school. After all, Teacher Liu entrusted you to us. Even if you stop filming, we will I have to send you back safely."

After he finished speaking, someone hurriedly walked towards Ye Zhanpeng, and Ye Zhanpeng became more and more flustered.He was just scared and vented his dissatisfaction just now, but after calming down, he realized that he had made a mistake just now, and he actually didn't want to leave the crew.

Ye Zhanpeng was in a cold sweat. During the filming period, there were many unusual things in the crew, such as shooting buttons, and the magical and extremely real shooting scenes. The sources of these things made the students very curious.But the director was obviously unwilling to tell them, and only said to let them get used to it and film well.

These students who came out of the Capital Film University dare not say anything publicly, and they will talk about it in private.The final conclusion is that they have hit the big luck, and they can continue to use such powerful things to film, which shows that there are huge secrets hidden in it.It's just that young actors like them are not qualified to listen to these secrets.Thinking about it this way, many people immediately looked forward to this movie, and made up their minds to listen to the director's words and make a movie. Who knows if there will be another chance for them to meet in the future?

But now everything has been messed up by Ye Zhanpeng.

He was terrified, but he didn't know what to do.Just happened to see Zhang Hui who was squatting on the ground next to him because he was too frightened to cry because of Ye Zhanpeng’s incident. He also sharply saw the shooting button that Zhang Hui had put on the ground before, and immediately followed Zhang Hui to grab a life-saving straw. .

"Zhang Hui... Didn't Zhang Hui just say that he doesn't want to film? I was just talking. Director Xie, brother Yuyang, I'm sorry, I was talking nonsense just now, I will definitely not talk nonsense next time .”

Zhang Hui's face turned pale instantly after being bitten by him. Fortunately, she was still in her mind. She quickly trotted over to pick up the shooting button on the ground, put it on her collar again, and hid behind the male lead Mo Chao and the female lead Lin Yuanrong.

Zhang Hui's actions were clearly seen by everyone present, especially Ye Zhanpeng. Now Ye Zhanpeng felt even more desperate.

Watching Ye Zhanpeng biting Zhang Hui next to him, Xie Yan felt physically and mentally exhausted.Originally, filming was already tiring enough, but he had to coax these young actors, which really exhausted him physically and mentally.

"Hurry up, our drama has been delayed for a long time." He said to Gu Yuyang.

"Did you hear that? The director said to hurry up." Seeing this, Gu Yuyang said to the burly men beside him, and the four men immediately pushed Ye Zhanpeng out.

"Okay, let's rest for a while, I'll go and be quiet." Xie Yan was a little irritable, and after finishing speaking, he put down the camera and left the crew.

Gu Yuyang didn't say anything, but there was obvious worry in his eyes.

After Xie Yan came to an open space alone, he began to recall the filming process of this movie, only feeling that the process was extremely bumpy.

"The Lost Land" has been delayed for three months from the establishment of the project, the formation of the crew, the search for actors, and the official start of filming.During the filming, because of the actor's ability to bear, the actor often collapsed and shouted after a few seconds of filming, and even cried and heard sweetness several times, so he couldn't film well at all.

Because the actors couldn't adapt to this new shooting technique, Xie Yan was afraid of affecting Wen Tian, ​​so in desperation, he forced Wen Tian to a nearby kindergarten and hired a temporary driver to pick her up.

But even though Wen Tian was sent to kindergarten, the progress of the crew could not be accelerated. These young actors in their early 20s had little experience and little courage. Although the leading actor Mo Chao would occasionally turn pale with fright, he could already Performed normally.On the other hand, among the actors selected by him and Gu Yuyang, there were very few actors who could continue to act, and the heroine Lin Yuanrong was one of them.

After calming down for a while, Xie Yan returned to the set. The main actors were basically there. He looked around and said calmly.

"If everyone really can't adapt to this shooting method and quits early, I don't mind. Don't force it. If I scare you out of the way, I can't afford it."

As the leading actor, Mo Chao smiled to smooth things over.

"It's okay, it's okay, director, we don't need you to pay, we have all had medical examinations, and we are in good health."

Before coming, Xie Yan specially asked these actors to take these actors to the hospital for physical examination, but he didn't use any diseases that could affect their physical fitness, such as heart disease, for fear of scaring them into problems.

In the previous mission world, entertainment filming still needs to be graded, such as horror films, suspense films, police films, fantasy films and other types of films that stimulate human adrenaline. actors are more inclined to ordinary modern dramas, such as modern idol dramas, modern mother-in-law and daughter-in-law dramas, modern fashion dramas, etc.Therefore, Xie Yan is also very strict in casting. Once the actor really can't bear it, he can only change the actor.

He put his eyes on Zhang Hui and said calmly.

"Zhang Hui, if you really can't do it, you can give up. This movie is really not suitable for you."

Zhang Hui's mood immediately became depressed, but she still gritted her teeth and said to the director.

"I'm sorry director, I can shoot, but I need a little more time to get used to it, I hope the director can give me another chance." Zhang Hui said with a burning face, she knew that she was currently the most retarded person in the group, But if she really gave up on this drama, she might regret it for the rest of her life. She couldn't give up, absolutely couldn't give up. She looked into Xie Yan's eyes and prayed.

Xie Yan looked into her eyes, but didn't say anything after all.Forget it, it's a big deal to shoot Zhang Hui slower, he has to shoot scenes that belong to Zhang Hui's role one shot at a time.

******

Xie Yan filmed "The Lost Land" for half a year before finishing the filming. The last group of actors were all supported by their mental strength. As soon as the film was finished, they were sent to the hospital.Xie Yan and Gu Yuyang turned the door to the hospital to see each other. The doctor said that the pressure was too much and the fatigue was too much. It would be better to rest for a while, and Xie Yan was relieved.Although the film crew had no money, the sick students even had no money. Xie Yan and Gu Yuyang still took part of the money and gave it to the students, asking them to buy some supplements to maintain their health.

After this incident, Xie Yan began to edit "The Lost Land". He spent three months in the post-production of the film, editing almost frame by frame, and readjusted for any omissions.After that, he took Gu Yuyang, Mr. Liu and several other school leaders to submit for trial.With the help of the school leaders, the speed of submission for review was very fast, but some of the scary scenes in the movie were almost cut by the big scissors.Fortunately, Xie Yan didn't care about it, because he didn't plan to release it in China, and the master film was kept, and it was also a requirement for school compulsory films to be submitted for review in China.And taking advantage of major international film festivals being held around October, he just took the opportunity to show his film at major foreign film festivals.

On the way of Xie Yan and Gu Yuyang looking for relationships and friendship, they finally opened the door of FEC, a huge foreign film company. FEC enjoys a great reputation in the world, with theaters in North America and Europe.But they opened their mouths wide open. The box office of North American and European movies was 70, which almost turned Xie Yan's face.

Fortunately, Xie Yan finally calmed down and hoped to adopt a movie box office grading system. If the box office is below 10 billion, the movie box office is willing to give the other party 70, but if the box office is 20 billion, 30 billion, or even more, the box office must be re-planned. .Mr. Smith, the head of the arrogant FEC company, does not believe that the box office of "Lost Land" can exceed 10 billion. In his opinion, although the movie is very passionate, but the actors are blind, it is impossible to make much money in the European and American markets. , at most make some money from Asians, so these Asians are afraid that they will lose their minds, and dare to think about a box office of more than 10 billion?Let him see, I am afraid it will be difficult for the box office to exceed 70 million.It's just because this is a movie made by Asians themselves, and it has nothing to do with their FEC. It earned [-] box office for nothing, which in Mr. Smith's opinion is still a profit.

In the end, Smith Dill, the person in charge of the FEC company, signed a movie box office grading system with Xie Yan. In short, the higher the box office of the movie, the higher the share of Xie Yan and Gu Yuyang.

And in order to show the strength of FEC, Smith Dill helped Xie Yan win the "Lost Land" Overseas Giant Lion Award for the opening ceremony movie, which is not something ordinary people can win. FEC has no movies released this year, and they are unwilling to make others cheaper. The movies before the opening ceremony of major film festivals are either related to awards or judges' recommendations. FEC uses its contacts to make a considerable number of judges recommend "" The Lost Lands movie plays as the opening movie.

When "The Lost Land" was broadcast as the opening film of the Giant Lion Awards, it caused an uproar in the entire European countries.The public opinion is almost divided into two parts. Some people criticize that the Giant Lion Award has been reduced to a copper stink, and actually broadcast an Asian commercial film as the opening movie, while some people pay attention to the movie viewing mode and think it is amazing. They watched it This 3D movie can't wait to see the second one, to verify my feeling of watching the movie.

Internationally prestigious "CCL Newspaper": "Oh, this is a movie from Asia, but he shot it very badly. It is a typical popcorn commercial blockbuster. I can't imagine that such a movie can be on the giant lion. At the opening ceremony of the awards, these giant lion award judges were bought by the damn Asians with money..."

"Bull Day", which has always been a deadly rival with CCL: "The film "Lost Land" is very peculiar. The Giant Lion Award can choose it as the opening film of the film festival. It must have its fascinating place... In addition, At present, many film critics have accepted EFC to participate in the film screening, and the audience will know what the film is like when the time comes."

EFC is good at stirring up gossip in Europe. Now that it has taken over "The Lost Land", it is natural to do well, and it cannot be lost. EFC has spent a lot of money on the promotional fee alone.Besides, EFC also had other plans in mind. When they saw Xie Yan and others coming to their door, they didn't think what would happen to the box office. However, EFC had long wanted to enter the country Z market, but the country Z market has been controlled by the state these years. It is very difficult for foreigners to invade. This time they are trying to pry open the door of Z country by Xie Yan, a movie made by Z country people.

The foreigner's calculations are very loud, and Xie Yan didn't expect that Xie Yan didn't even think about letting this movie be broadcast in China. This movie is full of pythons eating people, tigers addicting people, and wolves forcing the male protagonist to jump into the sea and kiss sharks. Xie Yan knows that there is almost no way to show it in China. The version of the movie he submitted for review in China was cut into a mess by the big hands in China. In short, he can't watch it at all.

"The Lost Land" was the movie he used to make himself famous, so he didn't think that this movie could really bring him anything.

Under the turmoil of EFC, "The Lost Land" has not yet aired. First, it has earned enough attention from the mouths of major European film critics. An Asian film that has not yet been officially released actually became popular in Europe before it was aired. , which is undoubtedly surprising.

On Christmas Day in December, "The Lost Land" was officially released in theaters under EFC in Europe and North America.

On the first day, the box office didn't show much, and it was worth several million. After Mr. Smith found out, he called Xie Yan, saying that his several million box office was already very high, so let him rest assured!Thank you, don't worry, and advise Mr. Smith to wait.

Immediately afterwards, the box office began to grow slowly within a week, approaching the tens of millions mark.But around the second weekend, the box office suddenly jumped to around 1300 million on Saturday, which really shocked Mr. Smith.

On the second day, the box office increased to 2600 million. This terrifying straight-up box office increase made Mr. Smith restless, but what he didn't expect was that day after day, the box office became more and more terrifying.On the day before the third week, the one-day box office was finally calculated in units of [-] million.

Xie Yan became popular, and Mo Chao became even more popular. Although the other actors are not well-known in the eyes of Europeans and Americans, the leading actor Mo Chao has actually gained international popularity. Some European and American fans kindly call him 'mo'. Although it is not the image of a muscular macho in the movie, he escaped from death again and again, and the adrenaline of the audience was soaring. Several times when the audience thought that the protagonist was about to die in the mouth of a fierce beast, he survived again, which made people deeply moved. attract.

The movie "Lost Land" is particularly lucky. Christmas has always been a battleground for major European and American commercial films. In the first week, major commercial films competed, but none of the quality could satisfy fans. Gradually, in the second week The box office of these commercial films has plummeted.

There are also many people from country Z in Europe and the United States. When they suddenly found out that a movie made by people from country Z was shown in European and American theaters, they felt mixed feelings.Are there still people who go to the European and American markets to stumble?The aesthetics of Asia and Europe and the United States are different, so the films of country Z are almost Waterloo in the European and American markets.Now there are people from country Z who dare to make movies from country Z and even broadcast them in European and American markets. Is this really because the director has a problem with his brain and went to the European and American markets to embarrass the people of country Z?

On the first day of the box office, it was this part of Z people who went to the cinema to support their compatriots with such an idea, but after watching the movie, the whole person was a little confused.

Why does this 3D movie look so different from other 3D movies?Not to mention the extreme clarity of the picture, the key is that when a python swallows people, it is like swallowing itself. When watching it for the first time, many viewers screamed in fright in the theater. Eyeballs, but also shocked your soul.

While the audience is afraid, they are addicted to this kind of movie with strong sense of reality.Many people even watched movies over and over again in order to pursue this strange feeling, and many people went to watch other 3D movies after watching "The Lost Land", and immediately felt a dull feeling that they couldn't watch it. .

When these fans and audiences walked out of the theater, they began to spread Amway's "Land of the Lost" to the people around them like a virus. Gradually, it spread ten or ten times, and some people didn't believe in evil and went to watch the movie. , Some people boycott Asian movies, and some people go to the movies with a critical attitude. Anyway, European and American movie fans have all kinds of strange behaviors.

And "The Lost Land" is just weird. The criticism is getting higher and higher day by day, but the box office is also getting higher day by day. By the second day of the third week, Smith's face turned green instantly.

Because in the agreement he signed with Xie Yan, the box office of "The Lost Land" exceeded 10 billion.

After knowing the contract signed by the two, EFC's top executives have eaten Smith Dill's heart. Not to mention that the company has lost a lot of money for nothing, and they are still talking about "Lost Land" like a blind man I don’t care about it, I don’t know how to use a large number of films to remedy it in the later stage?

The executives promptly withdrew the new film schedules of several international directors, and they all arranged for "Lost Land". The previous "Lost Land" schedule was only 6.2.

Speaking of which, Smith Deere had arranged a lot of films for "The Lost Land" 6.2. After all, apart from Asia, all the omni-channel theaters in Europe and the United States, the division of films is really not too small.And "The Lost Land" had a box office of several million on the first day, and Smith Dill didn't withdraw "The Lost Land", all because of the potential market behind the back of the country Z to give Xie Yan face.But who would have thought that in the past two weeks, "The Lost Land" had a box office of over [-] million on its first day, and the box offices of major theaters were frequently sold out.

It’s just that there are many people in EFC who hate the people of country Z, and they insist on suppressing the news that the movie "Lost Land" has started to explode. If it wasn't for one day that the box office exceeded [-] million, the principals in charge of the major theaters would be really jealous. See the head office I have never thought of adding films to other theaters, so I brought the matter to the head office. The head office probably didn't know that "The Lost Land", a movie from country Z that they didn't pay attention to at all, had already swept across the country. The entire European and American box office market.

Smith Deere was only dismissed, and some people who were troublemakers in the head office were directly sued by the head office for various crimes. Delaying the company's profit is the biggest mistake, and you are fine if the company does not die.At the same time, other theaters are also extremely jealous, eager to get involved. Fortunately, Xie Yan handed over all the agency rights in the European and American markets to EFC. There will be a lack of money on their side.

In addition, he now encountered an important problem, returning home.The group of them stayed in Europe for a month, and it was time to go back.

But when the crew got off the plane, a group of reporters surrounded them with microphones and cameras.

"Director Xie, "The Lost Land" is very popular in Europe and the United States. Do you have anything to say to the domestic movie fans? The domestic movie fans are looking forward to the broadcast of "The Lost Land"."

"Director Xie, I heard that "The Lost Land" will be released globally. When will Country Z be released?"

"Thank you, director, can you tell us..."

Xie Yan was really frightened. He was also a star, but most of the reporters he had contacted before had made appointments. This was the first time he encountered such a rush of reporters. It was simply too scary.

Moreover, not only him, but also the rest of the crew, especially Mo Chao, Lin Yuanrong, Zhang Hui and other actors, were almost surrounded by microphones and cameras.

Fortunately, the airport later hired security guards to maintain discipline, otherwise Xie Yan and the others really wouldn't know how to get home.

They still don't know what kind of storm they caused in the country when they returned to China this time! ,,
