Previous page Return to Catalog Next page
- "Now You See Me" was released in many countries and regions around the world, and its box office performance was also quite good. China will move its release to September, which will not be as strong as the Phantom movie at the same time at the box office.
At this time, another movie about Li Donglai is being promoted.
That is "The Strongest Planet: A Documentary of Lee Dong-lai" which has been in preparation since last year. The film is scheduled to be released in June. It will also be launched in the Chinese market on a large scale. This is also the first time that a documentary has been released on such a large scale in China.
The schedule is not very good, because it will hit "Superman: Man of Steel" at that time. However, as a documentary, apart from publicity, the cost is not much, and it is easy to make money. Li Donglai didn't worry about it. He rarely even appeared in person to promote the movie. Weibo was left to a professional team to encourage fans to buy tickets to watch the movie.
And he himself devoted himself wholeheartedly to the crew of "World of Warcraft".
After all the actors have undergone preliminary training, their makeup has been finalized, and digital motion capture technology images have been produced, they have all been assembled and will officially enter the pre-production phase.
The assistant director team recruited a total of five assistant directors according to Li Donglai's idea, two from abroad, with emphasis on various aspects, which can help him make up for his shortcomings.
In the morning, about twenty-five of the main members of the crew and the main actors were gathered in the crew office to hold a seminar. It¡¯s not that boring when so many people gather together to discuss the content of the movie and speak freely. This is an opportunity to enhance mutual understanding, allowing actors who are unfamiliar with each other to quickly become familiar with each other, and actors can also put forward any ideas they have about the characters. If suitable, the crew will adopt it.
Li Donglai walked in front and led the way. He said to everyone: "Everyone should have read the script. The place where the movie takes place this time will no longer be the earth, but a continent full of fantasy Azeroth. There are many magical creatures in it. These creatures They are all very different from Earth, so most of them will be synthesized by computers."
"Today, I brought you here to show you the new generation of 3D and CG technology that our special effects department has worked hard for more than half a year and developed."
With that said, Li Donglai pressed a remote control. The indoor lights dimmed. Everyone puts on 3D glasses.
Under the operation of the staff, the huge projection screen in front quickly lit up, and then displayed a set of shots.
??Two huge continents, with a huge storm sea in the middle.
The background monologue is from a very imposing woman, introducing the basic situation of Azeroth. The camera suddenly looked down from the sky, snowflakes were flying, and a druid appeared. Climbed over a snowy peak. Then I saw a huge fantasy castle in the snowy valley. The camera turned again and appeared in a forest. The woods were dark and quiet, but there were no common flowers, plants, shrubs or trees inside. But a very strange plant.
There are peacock tail leaves, elephant ear leaves, coral tentacle leaves there are all kinds of strange leaf plants, and they all emit charming and colorful light in the dark night, green, blue, purple, orange, cyan , staggered together. Gorgeous, not dazzling.
A sexy female elf with a bow and arrow on her back. Appeared.
"Yeah, it's me, I haven't acted yet." Natalie Portman screamed and quickly covered her mouth. The people around me laughed a bit and felt that it was unusual.
There are too many CG synthesis, and the 3D effect is very realistic. And while the elf was running, he suddenly summoned a white tiger with a flash of light. Straddle it and jump over a cliff.
Fluorescent flying insects are flying around in the jungle with a rhythm.
The sound of running water, the chirping of insects, and the chirping of some night owls. The entire jungle is filled with a strange sense of beauty.
The undead lich wearing unconventional and unbreakable clothes was very ugly. When he stepped on the grass, he withered immediately. He held the skull staff high, his hair disheveled, green light rose from behind, and a huge rock hellfire was summoned. There are many blue-colored "meteorites" falling in the sky, which are the grand occasions when Hellfire is summoned.
This section has a very grand soundtrack.
Everyone exclaimed that the music was even being reworked. It seemed that it had been started a long time ago.
In the next few minutes, they saw green-skinned orcs fighting with huge totem pillars, and human magicians releasing powerful magic with lightning balls in their hands. Sea of ??fire, icebergs, forests, grasslands, and strange floating hollow islands.
The editing of the film lasted for 6 minutes. After watching it, everyone saw the otherworldly fantasy scenery described in the script. We can't help but be shocked by how gorgeous these video clips are.
What they don¡¯t know is that the resolution of these images, all produced by computers, is the highest among all movies., it is still extremely clear even when magnified ten times.
"Some outsiders speculate that the investment of 500 million US dollars is too much. I may make two films in a row. But here I want to explain to you that of the 500 million US dollars, the actual funds spent on filming and remuneration will not exceed 2 billion, and most of the other funds will be invested in special effects and post-production."
The subsequent filming went very quickly, and almost every actor had various patches on their bodies. This was naturally "motion expression capture technology."
More than 1,500 top special effects engineers are working, and special effects investment exceeds 200 million US dollars.
This time, Li Donglai is confident in the special effects of "World of Warcraft".
The crew came to China for the first filming location, and secretly came to the beautiful grassland of Qinghai. Dozens of buses lined up in a long queue from the highway into the depths of the grassland. Everyone seemed to have entered the most beautiful place in the world.
"It's so beautiful, is this paradise?" Natalie Portman said happily.
"Almost, this is the closest place to heaven." Li Donglai introduced with a smile.
Here, early staff arrived early and built a beautiful and strange world. There is going to be a big battle between the orcs and the humans here.
The crew of "World of Warcraft" quietly came to Qinghai to start filming, without telling anyone or inviting any media. Li Donglai just wanted to keep a low profile. I really don¡¯t want to be bothered by the media.
The reason why the startup location is located in Qinghai. On the one hand, an important battle scene in "World of Warcraft" is of great importance and will be held here. And also for charity. Why not bring medical care and education to this place in advance?
This is not the only filming location in China, but the battle here requires the participation of many actors.
So although there was no publicity, extras were recruited before. In addition, many volunteers suddenly appeared in local villages to build medical centers and schools for them, and they were also directly exposed on the Internet.
There were also passing herdsmen who saw Lianyun¡¯s tents arranged in an orderly manner on the grassland, and strange orc base-style bone spur halls, barracks and other buildings had been erected, which attracted countless locals to take photos.
¡°You can¡¯t ban these even if you want to.
Although the crew wanted to keep it secret as much as possible, the reporters with keen sense of smell followed them all the way to Qinghai.
There are more than 5,000 extras. Everyone has to put on makeup, and there are horses being herded by herdsmen, and there are professional riding instructors who teach them every day.
Every extra performer has professional makeup. Even some war horses have to be decorated. This is a huge project.
The reporters were so excited, there was endless news coming out every day. Because of their local relationship, their news was the earliest and was reproduced by many foreign media. It was a big hit.
Li Donglai also acted cute and posted a new post on his Weibo and Twitter, "Many years have passed since the Alliance and the Horde fought side by side to resist the invasion of the Burning Legion. Although they successfully saved the continent of Azeroth, , the fragile agreement between the Horde and the Alliance. But it has long since disappeared"
Finally, I will also post a rendering of Azeroth. and a trailer of less than 60 seconds of high-definition special effects footage.
This version of the trailer was exactly what was shown at the previous meeting, but Li Donglai streamlined it again. No human face appears, only the general effect of several important locations such as Azeroth, Lordaeron, Dalaran, and Stormwind City is shown. It¡¯s a landscape trailer.
After it was posted on Weibo, it was immediately enthusiastically sought after by countless fans.
??Continuously forwarded.
This is the first trailer released by the crew. Very stingy. Not a single actor appeared in it, but it made countless Yamaguchi fans excited. Almost to the point of tears.
"Wow. How many years have passed. The movie is finally starting. I thought I would never see it again in my lifetime."
??Under the crazy enthusiasm, it is reprinted and published crazily. Within a few days, this Weibo post was retweeted 20 million times, directly breaking the Gillis World Record for the most retweeted Weibo post.
They couldn¡¯t see the big-name Li Donglai, so they had to send the certificate to Li Donglai¡¯s manager, Goldie. Then in the evening, Goldie took a photo of Li Donglai holding the certificate and posted it online as a response to Gillis.
This Weibo retweeting record was not broken until more than a year later by the fanatical fans of Lu Han, a Chinese member of a popular Korean group. But it triggered a new bloody battle.
When Li Donglai wanted to shoot the battle of "World of Warcraft", he wanted to achieve the most important visual effect, which was to restore the real cold soldiers of the powerful orcs and human cavalry.?War.
¡°Many Chinese and foreign cold weapon war movies in the past were very perfunctory in the real battlefield. The battlefield effects in the West are much better, but in some movies, such as "Braveheart", when charging, the formation is strict and impressive, but after the close combat, it turns into a gangster fight.
The most classic cold weapon war scenes occur in movies such as "Lord of the Rings" and "Kingdom of Heaven".
The horse battle in "Heavenly Kingdom" is absolutely representative. If you dare to use aerial photography to capture such a scene, it is easy to imagine how much "Heavenly Kingdom" invested in it.
The Orcs VS Humans scene in "World of Warcraft" is not the main content. But there is excitement everywhere. Even if there is a war, Li Donglai will make the whole world afraid.
The human Knights of the Silver Hand are the most elite cavalry unit and are led by an archmage.
The orc warriors are tall, brave and good at fighting, and they have absolute combat power in charge.
It shows the power of the human cavalry of the Silver Knights, as well as the bravery and formation of the orcs.
There are also a lot of CG backgrounds involved. The orc prophet is played by Daniel Wu, but his appearance is almost unrecognizable. The prophet's magic lightning chain is very shocking, and the human archmage's blizzard. They will all compete under this dim sky.
Both are fighting nations, so on the fantasy world of Azeroth, how will the war between the orc battle formations and the human cavalry look like?
For this reason, Li Donglai also consulted many historians and referred to cavalry battle formations in Chinese history. I also discussed with many archaeologists and learned about the formations of ancient Western wars.
Those so-called ancient wars in TV dramas are all nonsense. What is needed on the battlefield is tight formations that cooperate with each other, not gangster fights.
These will be moved into the world of Azeroth for true reproduction and beautification.
Li Donglai wanted to express the fierceness and excitement of the confrontation between the two major races, which is the most passionate and difficult to express.
This requires these professional group performers to train the desired effect. Li Donglai wants to create that kind of scene regardless of the cost, so he has high requirements for even one group performer. - Didn't finish reading?
