Yoona has starred in several Hollywood movies, all of which were blockbusters, and all of them did well at the box office. Although his acting skills still need to be improved, he has established a foothold in Hollywood, which is unique in Korea. From the failure of Zhang Dongjian's attempt to break into Hollywood to the failure of Rain's "Ninja Assassin" starring the Wachowski brothers, it all proved the ruthlessness of Hollywood. In recent years, Korean artists have done well in Hollywood. Even the supporting roles played by Lee Byung-hun are incomparable to Yoona.
¡°Perhaps Koreans also didn¡¯t expect that a little girl could do many things that big names couldn¡¯t do.
"The Wolverine 2" continued to earn 21.72 million in the next week, accumulating 95 million US dollars in North America, and is about to break 100 million. The film also performed well at the global box office, further solidifying Yoona's stardom. What's more, there is also "X-Men: Days of Future Past" in which many stars will return, and Yoona will continue to play the role of Phantom Cat in it.
Phantom Cat¡¯s real name is Kitty Pryde. She has the ability to turn herself into atomic components and pass through all obstacles. In "Reversal of the Future", Katie needs to use her ability to send Wolverine's mind to the past to save the endangered mutants This role is not a big one, after all, the X-Men in several previous versions have all appeared one after another. Returning, the main characters are also "Uncle Wolf" Hugh Jackman and the Professor, Magneto, Mystique and others, but she is the key figure in reversing the future.
In addition, Phantom's low-cost thriller "The Conjuring" continues to show its true qualities as a dark horse. The horror sketch, with a production cost of only 20 million US dollars, stood out in the fierce competition for every inch of land during the summer season, creating the rare phenomenon of "there is also a horror champion in the summer". This week it received another 13.8 million, and the box office has successfully climbed to 100 million by the end of the month. Dollars!
In contrast, "Transformers" vs. "Godzilla" "Pacific Rim", which was directed by Guillermo del Toro, was extremely brutal. Against the background of a 200 million-level investment, it just exceeded 90 million. The box office revenue is obviously poor. Fortunately, the overseas box office is acceptable, especially driven by the strong momentum of our country's box office market. The global box office has successfully passed the 400 million mark. Whether a sequel will appear depends on the fortune of director Gilmore.
"boom!"
In the huge green screen studio, Li Donglai and Channing Tatum performed various actions within the prescribed places and ranges.
Next to them there are some martial arts practitioners, some from China and some from Hollywood. They basically all have motion capture reactors on their bodies. They are motion capture actors who can be transformed into undead warriors of the Burning Legion or dark elves through special effects in post-production.
This is one of the highlight scenes of Arthas vs. Illidan, both of them are villains. The main point is Thrall leading the tribal alliance to launch a defense war. This is inevitable, otherwise the victory of the villain will be too unusual. If it is a small-budget movie, if you play something different, it may become a masterpiece. However, if you invest in such a large movie, if you still play the trick of victory of the villain. Even pushing yourself towards death is not in line with the trend of the movie.
Li Donglai is already familiar with motion capture technology. Several of his previous films have used motion capture. He is a half-way monk. He learned a lot of film knowledge by himself. He learned a lot of theoretical knowledge about motion capture at the University of Southern California, and for the first time in "Iron Man", he finally put this theoretical knowledge into practice. Close fit and mutual validation. Later movies such as "Revenge" and "Iron Man 3" will continue to perfectly become their own things.
There are too many places where motion capture technology is used in "World of Warcraft". This is true for orcs, this is true for elves, and even humans are necessary. It's all to coordinate with post-production, and this kind of continuation is already indispensable in the movie.
"Bang! Bang!" The performance of a group of actors was very difficult.
The rapid development of modern CG technology has brought about revolutions in film visual effects, but it has also brought more difficulties to actors' performances. When filming "Avengers" and "Iron Man", many actors did not have The actual object of play can only be within the designated range. The process of imagining the opposite partners to perform according to the director's requirements is quite difficult.
Sometimes there are only huge mechanical arms moving around the actors, shooting rotations, sudden drops, sudden ascents, etc. The actors have to coordinate perfectly to make various expressions, but in fact there is nothing in front of them.
Some auxiliary filming things are also very few In "Life of Pi", the protagonist used a puppet to replace the tiger that was synthesized in post-production, and in "The Hobbit 2". Juan Fu motion capture plays the role of the fire-breathing dragon, using a row of mineral water bottles to replace the fleeing dwarves
This imaginary performance is difficult, but it is also a way to test your acting skills.
Liu Dehua and Maggie Cheung had almost no reference points when filming "Gravity". They could only rely on their own imagination of the plot and grasp of the characters of the male and female protagonists to achieve the effect Li Donglai needed.Act it out. But it was still very successful in the end, which is why their acting skills have become so perfect.
"Cut!"
With a shout from the recorder, the scene finally passed. Channing, who was fighting with Li Donglai, fell directly to the ground. He had been holding on through gritted teeth just now. Li Donglai was okay. He patted his shoulder and asked him to continue lying down. He also ran behind the camera to check the effect of the shot he had just taken.
Being able to star in such a blockbuster is a great temptation for every actor, especially a young and middle-aged actor like Channing. It was a shortcut to becoming famous. From receiving the script to various trainings, it lasted for more than half a year, but no one had the thought of giving up. This is blockbusters, this is cruel Hollywood.
Li Donglai is very demanding and every actor must be dedicated. If some scenes can't be done well after two attempts, then do it ten or twenty times without any criticism, abuse or shouting, as long as he has no expression on his face, it is enough to silence the entire crew.
¡°Everyone knows that the burden on Li Donglai¡¯s shoulders is definitely no smaller than anyone else¡¯s.
Not to mention the huge investment of 500 million, the members of the director team and the producer team alone are all well-known figures in Hollywood. More than a dozen people are working behind him with him as the center, but he only pays attention to the quality of the filming. .
¡°Hollywood is the world of producers. With Li Donglai¡¯s current status, no one dares to point fingers in front of him. If the film still doesn't work well, then the responsibility lies entirely with Li Donglai.
If the movie fails, it will not make him bankrupt, but the subsequent reactions will be something he is unwilling to try.
After a period of filming, most of the leading actors had some injuries. Natalie fell several times, and the others also suffered some large and small injuries. After all, filming action scenes is no joke, and you will get injured if you are not careful, but now they can't complain.
"Let everyone pay more attention and don't get hurt." Li Donglai sat in front of the monitor and used the intercom to coordinate the scene. This is his responsibility as a director.
Another fight scene begins. This time, many shots focus on Natalie. She plays the role of an elf hero with agile movements and an exclusive mount. It is very difficult to perform.
In American movies, whether women can be logical in the movie is secondary. The main thing is to be beautiful For example, Catwoman played by Anne Hathaway in "The Dark Knight Rises" is wearing a tight suit and is wearing nearly ten The high-heeled shoes that were one centimeter high were dangling there. It would be nonsense to wear such high high-heeled shoes during a real fight, but for the sake of the movie effect, these had to give way.
A few big trees create a simple scene in the studio, with a "action" sound.
Natalie, who had a sensor patch attached to her body, quickly shuttled through the forest. When she crossed a stream, she suddenly stopped. She squatted down and picked up half of the weapon from the ground, and her eyes suddenly changed. Then he threw the weapon on the ground and ran out quickly.
"ah¡ª¡ª"
Suddenly there was a scream and she was thrown down.
This time there was no need to shout stop, Li Donglai rushed out by himself, and the surrounding staff rushed over quickly, "Natan, are you okay?"
Natalie stroked her knee and smiled, "I'm sorry, director, I tripped over a tree root."
Li Donglai knew at a glance that his knee was broken. He waved his hand and shouted: "Medical staff, come here." The medical staff who had been idle for a long time rushed over with a medicine box and sprayed white air on her knees. The filming was interrupted again, and Li Donglai had no choice but to let everyone rest.
Natalie went to receive treatment, and Li Donglai had to discuss the next filming with the director team.
I¡¯m really overwhelmed. There are all kinds of things to deal with every day. If it is not true love, people who are impatient will never be able to do it.
"Director, someone is looking for you." While they were busy discussing, a crew member came over and interrupted them.
"What's the matter? Didn't you see that there was a meeting going on? Tell him to wait" Li Donglai rubbed his forehead. Nearly four months had passed since the actual shooting. The tacit understanding between the crew members gradually developed, but at this time, the work became more difficult. more. Many new technologies in the filming were completed bit by bit through exploration, and many places were innovatively shot.
The think tank behind him is also trying its best to serve him. But the more you want to take better pictures, the more problems you will face, and the difficulty can be imagined.
¡°When you are feeling a little irritable and someone interrupts your work, it¡¯s natural for you to be upset. But at this moment, a clear child's cry suddenly sounded in my ears, "Daddy"
Li Donglai turned around suddenly and saw two staggering little guys shouting at him. Seeing these two little guys, Li Donglai's frown disappeared instantly.??A smile appeared on his face.
Not caring about the movie, he ran over quickly, held the two little guys in his arms, and kissed them hard, not wanting to let them go.
(This book will probably be finished next month. The new book is still for entertainment There is not much moral integrity left. I hope it starts well and ends well!)
