"The latest news, this afternoon Penguin Pictures, Light Pictures and DreamWorks Film Studio jointly released audition news, it is reported that this casting is to prepare for the latest film directed by Li He......"
Looking at the report of entertainment news on TV, Lin Qiaoqiao, who was eating spicy strips, was dumbfounded, if she remembers correctly, "Source Code" doesn't seem to have been released yet, right?
Are directors so efficient now?
DreamWorks Studio held a press conference, but the protagonist Li He did not show up, and the head of the studio, Yang Xuewu, was in charge of holding the press conference.At the press conference, Li He's space trilogy plan was revealed for the first time, and the title of the first part "The Martian" was officially announced, as well as a concept version poster.Penguin Video broadcast the press conference live online, and many netizens discussed it and were surprised by Li He's big move."
Ox break!
I just watched the trailer for Source Code, and then you turned around and told me that the director was starting to make a new movie again. ”"The word 'suit' with a capital letter is given to Director Li He, and the fast gunner is not so fast!""
I'm not afraid that he's fast, I'm afraid that he can't guarantee the quality, and shoddy production will only hurt Chinese science fiction movies.""
There is no science fiction at all in Chinese movies, the costume blockbusters of the past few years, the comedies and youth films of the past few years, and everything else that Li He can play, and he has also achieved good results.""
Now that Chinese science fiction movies are like this, how bad can they be?
Just let Li He do it, maybe there will be something to do. ”On the one hand, netizens are looking forward to it, and on the other hand, they are worried that Li He will mess up, and the contradictory mood is self-evident.This mood is also reflected in "Source Code", the label of "Source Code" is science fiction/action/suspense, science fiction is the first label, if it is just a sheep's head to sell dog meat, I am afraid that the deceived audience will be able to scold Li He out of.And many media outlets, except for those under Penguin Pictures and Light Pictures, are not very optimistic about Li He's ambitious trilogy.Many media even criticized Li He, saying that he was arrogant and arrogant after just achieving a little success.The hot topic of Li He's space trilogy remains high, firmly occupying the first place on the hot search list, and even the news of a celebrity who claims to be a good man has been suppressed.The Six Princesses of CCTV also took the opportunity to open a special program to discuss the prospects of Chinese science fiction films with Li He's "Source Code" and the space trilogy.The conclusion is that the time for Chinese films to develop science fiction films is not yet mature, and the most important thing is the problem of technology and talent.Several experts feel that Li He's move is a bit reckless, and I am afraid that he will encounter a career Waterloo.There is only one film critic who thinks that Li He will succeed, and it is unprecedented, and that person is the well-known Li Chui Qian Liaofu.He thinks that even if Li He misses, it doesn't matter, he won't be beaten to death with a stick, and someone has to take the first step.In his previous life, this person was Guo Fan and his "The Wandering Earth", and now it's up to Li He.Li He didn't know the speculation and worries of the outside world, nor did he know that Mr.
Qian Liaofu was fighting a war of words with many experts and professional film critics for him.At the moment, he is at ILM, looking at the space renderings made by the special effects crew."
It looks a little distorted, and it's still glowing ......green," Li He is still not satisfied with this version, which is the fourth rendering he rejected at the end of March.Lu Weiming, the person in charge of the studio, explained: "Director, we have tried our best, but there are really some technical difficulties that cannot be solved......
Lu Weiming was interrupted by Li He before he finished speaking: "I didn't come here to listen to your explanation, and I don't invest so much money every year to see this kind of thing."
You can go to the digital field, go to Weta Digital, go to the top foreign visual effects companies to learn, in short, you must get results. ”criticized the studio up and down, Li He was a little disappointed, and the result of investing so much was still not ideal.Although Li He knows that this is not something that can be made overnight, the development of Hollywood for so many years is not something you can catch up with in just a few years.However, Li He is still in a hurry, if Industrial Light and Magic still doesn't work, then Li He's series of plans will have to be put on hold.It seems that "The Martian" still needs to find the digital field to do it this time, although the price is high, but the quality can still be guaranteed.It's just that in this way, the investment of 350 million is probably not enough, after all, the special effects alone will cost tens of millions of dollars.Lee Hyuk had originally planned to shoot space and Mars scenes with green screen technology in the studio, but now he is afraid that he will have to shoot in real life.The Mars scene is easier to do, and you can go to Xinjiang Gansu to shoot the scene, which can save a lot of production costs.In terms of space scenes, Li He thought of the previous life when Nolan filmed "Interstellar", and used textures to transform the entire studio into space.Although Nolan's original intention was to make the actors immersive so that they could perform better, they did save a lot of money on production.It is worth mentioning that "Interstellar" is the last part of Li He's space trilogy, the first part saves men, the second part saves women, and the third part saves all mankind......
Li He returned to the studio and immediately convened a meeting of the crew's preliminary preparation team to take a task."
I just came back from ILM, and their work progress is not up to my requirements, so I thought of several ways to solve the problem of visual effects in the film."
Li He said.The participants all listened to Li He quietly, and took a small notebook to record the main points."
First of all, some scenes are not filmed in the studio, I plan to use the method of real scenes and special effects, the location team, you go to Xinjiang Gansu in early April to see if there is a place that matches the Martian scene, and I will ask Dr.
Zhou Jin to take you to investigate."
Li He commanded, and the scenery team nodded and took the order."
Sissi, you're communicating with Penguin Pictures and the light side, I may have to invest more, and I also need to contact the digital field so that they can take over the special effects work on The Martian.""
I understand......"
Tang Qianqian nodded in agreement.After returning to work as a producer, Tang Qianqian is more handy, after all, after taking charge of a crew independently, she can better understand what the crew needs.Li He nodded, and then said to Lao Sun: "In addition, except for the actor who has no accident and is basically Hu Ge, the other roles have not been decided, Lao Sun, get ready to hold an audition." ”After the end of "A Dog's Mission", Lao Hu officially returned to Li He's team and continued to serve as an assistant director, while Lao Sun became a casting director instead."
There is one more thing next, we need to renovate the studio, I will post the specific transformation method to the group, I hope to complete these works as soon as possible, let's dismiss the meeting!"
Everyone took the order, but Tang Qianqian stayed and whispered to Li He: "Didn't you say that you plan to complete this movie on the National Day schedule?"
Haven't started shooting the first shot yet, isn't it a little late?
”Li He took Tang Qianqian in his arms, sniffed her fragrance, and said softly: "If you can't celebrate the National Day, you will celebrate the New Year, in short, this year's movie must be completed." ”Tang Qianqian pouted: "Then it's up to you, I believe that you Ah He, you will definitely succeed in completing this movie." ”"Don't talk about me yet, haven't you congratulated yet?""
Congratulations on what?"
Li He smiled slightly: "Congratulations on becoming a 500 million director......"
