The King of Bad Movies[Entertainment Circle]

Gu Yu himself was not affected by the negative comments about "1912" from the outside world. He was very calm. After all, since he was filming, this kind of encounter was not once or twice. It's just that the audience reacted particularly strongly to sci-fi themes like "1912". .

——Because according to the current media exposure and the estimated cost of insiders, this is probably the most expensive movie Gu Yu has ever made.

When "Graduation Season" was released, the outside world was not optimistic because it felt that the film was low-cost and poorly configured. Everyone in the circle and everyone in the circle are very worried that Gu Yu will smash the pot.

"The cost is indeed a bit high." Akashi and Gu Yu sent a message to chat about this matter, "Why don't you have any pressure at all?"

Akashi remembers that in the past two years, there was an actor with good box office and word of mouth, because the cost of the movie he starred in was 10 billion and the box office was 5 million.

Compared with the TV drama circle, the film circle is obviously more cruel. The former can use various means to cover up the lack of ratings, while the latter is the result that the audience buys one by one with real money.

"What kind of pressure should I have?" Gu Yu asked him back, "We didn't have any pressure during the filming of "Tian Ji", did we?"

"That's different."

Akashi wants to say, how much does "Tianji" cost, and how much does "1912" cost? The former is only one-tenth of the cost of the latter.

"What's the difference? Aren't they all making movies?" Gu Yu replied, "The essence is the same, we just need to do our best."

Akashi couldn't help but admire Gu Yu's mentality. It was the same when he was filming "Tianji". Others were more or less worried about the future of the movie, but Gu Yu was extremely calm-but he had to say that he was also attracted by Gu Yu's attitude. The calmness was infected, and the flustered mood was instantly calmed down.

Akashi couldn't help complaining to his manager: "Staying with Gu Yu, I always feel that I am the younger one."

He and his agent still haven't regained their normal state from the influence of the hit, but Gu Yu has already abandoned "Tianji" and rushed to the more topical "1912".

Sometimes Akashi even feels that there are too many news about Gu Yu, so that the other party can make bigger news every time to cover up the smaller one.

……

Amidst the heated discussions from the outside world, Gu Yu joined the crew of "1912" in a low-key manner.

His flight from the airport in City S to City Z was exposed, and the fans did not dare to organize to pick him up, but the news from the front line said that Gu Yu was in a good mood and was completely unaffected by the outside reports.

The fans are completely relieved now.

In the past few years, the attitude of fans towards Gu Yu is no longer the feeling of raising cubs in "Idol Feast". After all, Gu Yu at that time was indeed a blank sheet of paper, with nothing but his face, and he needed the support of fans to be in the first stage. Survive a competitive show.

But now, with Gu Yu's growth, the fans have become a lot more Buddha, buying movie tickets and endorsements every day, no one urges them, and there is no need to worry about Gu Yu's future.

Because Gu Yu has already stood in a position that they never expected, and achieved achievements that they could not even imagine.

But when Gu Yu needed support, the fans still stood firmly behind him.

"No need to be afraid, go forward boldly, Gu Shanyu!"

"Don't care whether the box office is a smash or a hit, you just have to be happy and make movies!"

"Shoot what you want to shoot, what you want to shoot is the best~"

Gu Yu scrolled through Weibo, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but frantically raised.

He received messages of support from his friends on his mobile phone, and even Yan Xiu made a special call to ask Gu Yu to relax and take pictures.

"Brother Yan, have you ever managed a movie with a cost of 10 billion?" Gu Yu was curious, "What was your mood at that time?"

"My film is different. I overshot it. The original cost was only 7 million yuan. The more expensive the film, the more panicked I became. My hair fell out in the film, and I was afraid of being rushed." Yan Yan Thinking about it now, Xiu still feels a little scared, "The pressure is quite high, but it's over."

Although the cost of Yan Xiu's film was high, the box office was among the best in the box office rankings of Chinese movies. For actors, such a high-cost movie is like a life gamble, and heaven and hell are only a thin line away.

Gu Yu doesn't know if the cost of "1912" will exceed the cost, and this is not something he needs to worry about. After Gu Yu joined the crew, the set of "1912" crew has almost been set up, and the money has been spent almost half of it—— Compared with overseas mature film special effects technology, domestic special effects scenes are more widely used in games, and there is actually not much experience in movies.

In the film, the exploration of the universe, the rendering of light, and the shots in the depths of the ground all come from special effects. In addition to visual special effects, there are also special effects on materials, which include both domestic special effects teams and overseas. special effects team.

In contrast, the actors' remuneration is small.

"1912" first shot the ground part. The scene preparation began after the funds were in place. After the actors joined the group, they could shoot directly. After the ground part was completed, the space scene was shot.

In addition to cooperating with the schedule of the actors, the cooperation between the crew and the special effects team, and the cooperation between the special effects teams are also the key tasks of the filming of "1912".

Gu Yu is very interested in this kind of subject matter, but unfortunately he has almost never made a sci-fi film in his two lifetimes, and there are too few domestic directors who have the confidence to touch this subject matter.

As an actor, it is interesting to try various themes.

"Gu Yu, you're here."

As soon as Gu Yu joined the crew, he was warmly welcomed by the crew. The director of "1912" is Fei Tao. After graduating from Beijing Film Academy, he went abroad to study for graduate studies. He is only in his 30s, but he has cooperated with many special effects studios and teams during his graduate studies. After returning to China, he made two good box office films. After getting the book of "1912", he had a plan to shoot, but unfortunately he couldn't raise funds, and the actors were still undecided.

Fei Tao and Fang Jun knew each other before, and they had a good relationship with Jiang Chuan. The script went through the hands of the actors, and finally fell into the hands of Gu Yu.

Fei Tao did not expect that Gu Yu would accept this notebook.

He felt that the protagonist's image and temperament in the script fit Gu Yu very well, and Gu Yu's acting skills were excellent, and his box office appeal was also good, so he tried to pass the book over.

Fei Tao was mentally prepared to be rejected by Gu Yu. After all, Gu Yu's rising momentum is booming, and steady and steady play is the best choice, but the other party accepted the script, not to mention, and solved a large part of the funding problem—— Fei Tao has been filming for so long, this is the first time he has the feeling of lying down and winning.

……

Gu Yulai had read the script of "1912" many times before.

——The time is 2112, the earth's population is growing explosively, and the existing resources can no longer bear the strong demand of human beings.

Human beings set their sights on the distant universe, but it is a pity that human beings' exploration of Mars and the moon have ended in failure. Those two planets cannot provide the resources and soil that human beings rely on for survival.

And at this time, an extraterrestrial meteorite from another galaxy is about to fall, and it will enter the atmosphere within a month, destroying the earth, the only home of mankind.

At the same time, the archaeological team in City Z suddenly encountered the risk of a landslide. On the ruins displayed in the landslide, the secret about the alien's visit to the earth in 1912 was revealed...

Gu Yu plays a scientist who studies underground relics. Through thorough research on alien science, he discovers the secrets of the earth and alien civilizations, and finally sends this meteorite back to the universe, saving the last survivor for mankind. kindling.

The story of "1912" is not strong, and it focuses on the rendering of special effects and scenes. Whether it is a meteorite from outside the sky, a scene deep in the center of the earth, or a realistic picture of the universe, the crew of "1912" hopes that the audience can experience the earth and the universe. of mystery.

In this movie, the acting skills of the actors are not the first.

However, this does not mean that acting skills are not important. On the contrary, the tension of the falling meteorite and the sacrifice of the scientist are all important parts of the film and cannot be ignored.

In order to highlight the authenticity of the scene, in addition to the professional special effects team, the crew also invited top domestic aerospace science and industry researchers to provide technical guidance to the crew.

This is the purpose of Gu Yu's muscle gain - he needs to wear heavy protective clothing, explore in the center of the earth, and explore in the universe.

Before the film was shot, the crew of "1912" had already sent Gu Yu a sufficient number of concept drafts, which is why Gu Yu was determined to accept the script - the crew of "1912" was not drawing cakes, and the concepts in the movie were not castles in the air , the pictures on the concept draft have already told Gu Yu what kind of story the film wants to tell.

"Amazing." Gu Yu admired sincerely, "You are really amazing, Director Fei."

Fei Tao smiled honestly: "I just want to play something different from other people, and I have this habit since I was a child."

Fei Taoyuan is chubby and chubby, and he usually looks like a nice guy, but when he told the plot of "1912", the director's round eyes seemed to be shining. Not only that, he personally set up the scenes and coordinated the special effects. Excuse me, since the filming of "1912", he has gained almost 30 catties.

"How do you understand the role of Zou Cheng?" Fei Tao took off his glasses and asked Gu Yu curiously, "Let's talk about it."

"A scientist who is very passionate about his career, very desperate, but also has good thoughts for mankind." Gu Yu narrowed his eyes, "He should be the epitome of many scientists."

"That's right." Fei Tao smiled, "Our scientists have to look like us, do you have any other ideas?"

"Calm down and be rational." Gu Yu simply took out the script and pointed to a part of it for Fei Tao to read, "In the setting of the script, Zou Cheng actually made two-handed preparations, how to deal with failure, how to deal with success, This character knows it."

Fei Tao nodded lightly: "Your direction is fine, just shoot like this."

Fei Tao is a technical director who mainly grasps the general direction of the story and the rhythm of the film. In his opinion, the performance of an actor is essentially for the plot. Acting is also cumbersome.
