On September 25th, when the North American box office of "Seven Deadly Sins" exceeded 38 million US dollars, news came from DreamWorks Studios that the famous director Li He's new film "Source Code" was officially approved, and it is reported that this investment of more than 150 million was an action sci-fi film last year.Sci-fi films have always been a weakness of Chinese films, I don't know what kind of sci-fi film can director Li He, who has repeatedly brought surprises, bring me this time?
Let's wait and see. ”- "Penguin News" "DreamWorks Studio released the concept poster of the "Source Code" film, the actor has been officially determined Wu Jing, and Wan Qian, AB and other stars have joined to raise the expectations of the film, and the cooperation between Mr.
Jin Shijie and Li He for the second time is also full of highlights. ”- "Netease News" "According to sources, Huang Xiaoming will play a mysterious role in the film, which is the first time that Huang Xiaoming and AB husband and wife have combined on the screen, and 'Brother Xiaoyao' Hu Ge will also play a role, which I believe can bring a lot of surprises." ”——After the project of the "Sohu News" film was established, the preliminary publicity work on "Source Code" has been slowly launched, the purpose is to tell fans that the new film directed by Li He has started shooting, and you must be ready to support.In addition, I do not release it.There is less news about the film, which can also attract a lot of attention from ordinary fans.Penguin Pictures and Light Media attach great importance to the project "Source Code", the film has not yet started filming, and the publicity funds have been spent like water to achieve better publicity results, and the purpose has indeed been achieved.With the global box office of "The Seven Deadly Sins" exceeding 400 million, Li He not only has a huge box office appeal in the mainland market, but also has become well-known in Asia, and even the world knows this young and talented director.When I heard that Li He's new film was about to start filming, foreign distributors flocked to it, almost squeezing Cheng Zhiwen's office.The film company pursues profits, as long as it can bring profits, it doesn't matter what country you are!
The good North American box office results of "The Seven Deadly Sins" also prompted Warner Pictures to regain its cooperation with Penguin Pictures, and Penguin Pictures finally entered the North American market.The news came that although Penguin Pictures was not listed, the shares of the parent company Penguin Group rose sharply, consolidating the top three positions in the market value of Penguin Group in China.Compared with the second-tier Weinstein Pictures, the old giant Warner is undoubtedly more worthy of cooperation, regardless of personal reasons, Warner Pictures' distribution channels, publicity advantages, and omni-channel resources are incomparable to Weinstein Pictures.So abandoning it, Li He didn't have a little burden in his heart, but it is said that Harvey was angry and broke his beloved Huaxia porcelain, and he must be angry to death.And this also helped the city of industrial light and magic special effects industry, Li He was not very satisfied with several samples of industrial light and magic, and just took this opportunity to let some backbones of the studio go abroad to study and learn, and learn from the skills of Yi to control it.At Chang'an Railway Station, the producer of Light Pictures is discussing with the person in charge of the railway station about filming with the help of a route."
I'm definitely okay here, the main thing is that the railway bureau wants you to communicate by yourself, and we can't help with this."
The person in charge said.The producer of Light Pictures is called Zhao Peng, and it is the first time he has cooperated with Li He, and he doesn't know Li He's temperament too well, but one thing made Zhao Peng understand Li He's current fame and prestige.In the filming of the location scene of the train, Zhao Peng suggested setting up the filming, but Li He insisted on shooting on the spot.Zhao Peng's opposition was fruitless, and seeing that the producers of Penguin Pictures supported Li He, Zhao Peng had no choice but to report to Wang Changtian.Who knew that his boss not only had no opinion, but also scolded him, only then did he know Li He's status in Penguin Pictures and Light Pictures."
We have already negotiated with the railway bureau, and the approval will come down soon, and we are mainly here to inquire about the situation with you."
Zhao Peng said.The person in charge smiled: "If you have the approval, there is no problem, I don't know where you want to choose?"
I've got maps and photos of the route, and I can take you on field trips. ”Zhao Peng waved his hand and said: "You don't have to take us personally, our director will go to Chang'an tomorrow, what I want to know is that I heard that there are several abandoned railways at the railway station, and we want to choose a section of the railway that is closer to the city and less populated." ”"That's it!
There are indeed several abandoned railways in our railway station, which were originally connected to several nearby mines, but then the mines were abandoned, and the railroad was abandoned, and it has not been demolished.I'm going to show you, this ......
Here, and here, you can take a field trip. ”The person in charge is very positive, because it is all about performance, and if he gets it right, he may be able to show his face in front of the leader."
Thank you very much for your assistance......
Zhao Peng thanked."
It should be, it should be, you can take this map with you!"
The person in charge gave the map to Zhao Peng.After the matter was done, Zhao Peng naturally thanked the person in charge, and the two of them left after a polite exchange.Early the next morning, Li He and Tang Qianqian, as well as the artistic director of the crew, He Zhenxing, and the boss of the photography crew, Du Kefeng, went straight to their destination as soon as they got off the plane.On a certain section of the railway more than ten kilometers away from the railway station, Li He used a telescope to check the terrain on the mountain bag on the side, and Chang'an City could be seen in the distance.Tang Qianqian asked Li He curiously: "Why don't you shoot on the spot?"
Instead, the location scenes were specifically selected?
”Can I tell you that I'm for the title of Crazy Devil in real life?
Li He said in his heart."
Because we were going to shoot the explosion scenes, the set shooting would be a little distorted, and the images would not be realistic enough.""
Are you really going to blow up the train?
Can the relevant authorities give approval?
”Tang Qianqian's eyes widened with her lovely eyes."
Zhao Peng got the approval of the Railway Bureau yesterday, and Lao Wang will get the permission to shoot the explosion."
Li He explained.Lao Wang is Wang Hejun, this time he is not only the producer, but also the first producer of "Source Code", which shows the importance that Penguin Pictures attaches to this project.Tang Qianqian touched her chin and looked at the high-rise buildings in Chang'an City in the distance, and suddenly thought of a question: "I have another question......
"What question?"
”"Since it's a live-action shooting explosion scene, the movement must be very big, I read that the script exploded when it was close to the city, and I can't see the city so far here, I'm afraid it's not good to get close, right?"
Tang Qianqian asked.Li He thought for a while and said, "You do have a point in saying that, but don't worry. ”"Why?"
Tang Qianqian said curiously."
Because of the advancement of photography technology, it is possible to combine far and close shots, and Adu is already experimenting with the latest technology."
Li He explained."
I see!
I seem to be able to see the explosion scene soon!
When are we going to start?
”Tang Qianqian said excitedly.Li He has a black line, is this Nizi violent?"
It's still early!
It can only be blown up when the location scenes are over, and there are also urban scenes, the train is blown up, what are we going to shoot?
”Li He knocked on Tang Qianqian's head and said."
Oh too!
But why didn't you go to Shanghai when you chose the location in the first place?
Isn't it more in line with the temperament of a big city?
”"Chang'an is not bad!
And when Lao Wang found the train in Chang'an, we couldn't transport the train all the way over, Shanghai's labor cost was too high, and if there was an explosion scene, it was estimated that it would be in the headlines. ”Tang Qianqian pouted: "I still think Shanghai is ......"
Li He took the meat bun brought by Zhao Peng and stuffed it into Tang Qianqian's hand: "Isn't the meat bun fragrant?"
That's it. ”Tang Qianqian took a bite and her mouth was full of gravy: "It's so fragrant......"
