"Today is the meeting for the filming of the documentary "Wanted". We at Yinchuan University are honored to be the host of the meeting, and we are also honored to invite two film masters to visit Yinchuan University to explore the business path of Chinese films. . Let us give you a round of applause" "The director of "Wanted", the undisputed master director among the sixth generation directors, Wan Xiaohu, and the founder of the Lunar New Year stalls and Feng's comedy, director Feng Xiaogang. She is a female student union president of Yinchuan University. She is beautiful and has good hosting skills. As soon as he finished speaking, the multi-functional hall burst into thunderous applause. This time, no celebrities were invited to attend. In addition to many media, they were all teachers and students of Yinchuan University. "I especially don't like to appear on stage with others, because the applause cannot be distinguished and I am easily confused. I thought you were welcoming me, but it turns out that if you welcome Wan Xiaohu, it will be a mistake." Feng Xiaogang just took the microphone. Just say it without any politeness. Wan Xiaohu also continued: "I really like to appear on stage with others. Even if I don't get applause, I can still take advantage of others. If I tell it, who knows who will get the applause." "So you are very good at what you do. Business, smart." Feng Xiaogang sat on the chair at the host's invitation. Wan Xiaohu also sat down and smiled at the audience in the hall: "Hello everyone." The college students shouted slogans below, and it took a while before they became quiet. The host spoke slightly nervously: "Just now, Director Feng said that Director Wan can do business. We all know this. Director Wan is called Boss Wan on the Internet." Wan Xiaohu waved his hand modestly: "A small business." Feng Xiaogang He always has a ferocious attitude wherever he goes and speaks without any scruples: "Don't listen to him, he is an evil capitalist. He makes ten or twenty times more at the box office than others. He is definitely the best in the director circle. Rich man." "Haha." The host glanced at the hosting script in his hand. Said, "I am a loyal fan of Director Feng and Director Wan. I have watched both of your films, and I especially like "My Sassy Girl" and "Party A and Party B." Today, under the light of the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival, We are holding a meeting for the filming of "Wanted" at Yinchuan University. Please look at the two directors. There is a documentary on the big screen behind us. There are many tidbits about how to shoot "Wanted". Just watch and chat.¡± The pictures on the big screen were all captured by a digital camera. Occasionally there are some cut scenes included. There is no narration, the sounds are incidental to the filming. At the beginning, there was a scene of Wan Xiaohu narrating a play to the actors. It was still March, and Wan Xiaohu was wearing a down jacket in a studio with a green background. What were you talking about with Zhou Runfa? Because the shooting distance was relatively far, I couldn't hear clearly. I could only see Wan Xiaohu gesticulating with his hands and feet, and Zhou Runfa nodding from time to time. "This is Fa Ge." Wan Xiaohu pointed at the screen and explained, "At that time, I was shooting special effects shots and doing 3D panoramic character modeling. Many of Fa Ge's shots were all made with special effects." The host asked He was a bit of a novice: "Is it like the effects in Hollywood blockbusters, like in "Star Wars"? There are all kinds of strange creatures. How are these made with special effects?" "Actually, the special effects are plain. , is to break down real people or objects into small modules. By adjusting the combination of modules, virtual characters can perform various complex and difficult actions. The level of special effects technology in Hollywood is very high now. "The effects are so fake that you can't tell which ones are fake and which ones are real." "Did "Wanted" also have a lot of special effects scenes?" "Most of them were shot on location. , and then used methods such as keying, filling, and grafting to make the picture very large If you look at the big screen, this section was used for the filming of the speeding assassination. A total of three layers of mosaic were used for the first layer of the picture. The actions and expressions in the studio, the second layer is the stunt team performing a car show, the third layer is the outdoor shooting, and then the three shots are integrated together to create a perfect shot. " On the screen, first is Chen Kun. They perform expressions for the camera, then go to a large studio to lift the car and flip it, and finally the camera flips on location. The scene changes to a car flying up, and Chen Kun shoots and kills him from the flying car. The whole scene is shot at a frame-by-frame speed, which looks very impactful. "Wow, such special effects are really amazing." The host said in surprise. Feng Xiaogang was also a little moved: "Otherwise it was a big production worth 60 million U.S. dollars,"?At least a few million yuan can be spent every minute, right? " Wan Xiaohu nodded: "Isn't it? These pictures are all put together frame by frame. 24 frames per second is 1440 frames per minute. It doesn't cost much to simply put together one frame, but it takes time, time. It's money. If you do ten or twenty minutes of special effects shots for a movie, that¡¯s a big deal. Let me put it this way, of the US$60 million cost, less than US$10 million was spent on filming, and the rest was spent on special effects. " "Wow, it feels incredible to spend so much time on a Chinese movie. There seem to be very few directors in China who would make special effects blockbusters. " Feng Xiaogang said: "One is that I have no money, and the other is that I have no skills. Making special effects films is more sophisticated than making literary films. I just took a look and found that Xiaohu¡¯s crew used Panavi private cameras. They are expensive products and not many directors in China have used them. I have only used them once. The technical gap is obvious. " "Then Director Wan, can you tell us about your experience in making special effects blockbusters? " Wan Xiaohu sighed with emotion: "I have always attached great importance to film shooting technology. To put it bluntly, there are many mainland directors who have used Panavi private cameras. This camera is actually nothing. It is very popular in Hollywood. If you want to take good pictures, you will use this camera. Sony's ones are also good. Without using these cameras, a blockbuster would not be a qualified blockbuster. Without making blockbusters you don¡¯t know what humans can create, which is beyond the bounds of imagination. " Just in the picture of the big screen. A specially prepared clip was played. Chen Kun singled out the entire textile factory, bullets collided, guns and magazines were changed, one action after another, it is definitely not something that humans can do. " ah. "Many students below exclaimed, the picture is so exciting. And this also reflects Wan Xiaohu's words. Special effects have changed movies, and also changed human imagination. "Many directors want to make blockbusters to prove themselves, so Go to Hollywood, because blockbusters can carry the director's endless imagination. However, it is a pity to say that among Chinese directors, the shooting technology does not seem to have been greatly improved. Many directors don't know what special effects are, how they are shot, and they don't know how to coordinate special effects shots. These will restrict the emergence of Chinese blockbusters. " "It can be seen that Director Wan has special respect for special effects. Director Feng, what do you think of the special effects? Feng Xiaogang crossed his legs and said, "I think differently from Xiaohu. I don't like special effects because I don't know how to do it." I have only used a Panavi private camera once. You asked me to tinker with special effects blockbusters. This is unrealistic. In my educational experience, there is no such thing. Of course, I am not opposed to giving it a try if I have the opportunity. After all, this is all a matter of business. " "Do the two directors have different opinions on this? " "We are old guys who look down on young people. Young people also look down on old people. " Feng Xiaogang pointed out. Wan Xiaohu laughed loudly: "Directors always have the most differences, otherwise there wouldn't be so many schools. You only have idols and capable actors, and you have many directors, including French New Wave, German Expressionism, New Realism, Surrealism, Imagist films, experimental films, and the list goes on and on. To be honest, I don¡¯t say I admire special effects, I just think we shouldn¡¯t ignore them. " After a pause, Wan Xiaohu added: "It can be seen from now that there will be more and more special effects blockbusters. Whether you are willing to accept it or not, in the next twenty years, special effects blockbusters will be the main force at the box office. Maybe thirty years passed. The audience may get tired of watching and return to the story, but in essence, it is impossible to go back as technology develops. If you want to make a movie that surpasses the past, special effects are the key to open the door of Sesame. Whether opening or closing the door, you must first hold the key in your hand. "The development of special effects technology is an irreversible trend. No matter how much you despise special effects blockbusters as just a trick to trick children, they can still grab box office from all over the world. As we talked, we talked about the commercialization of movies. The host said: "Both great directors are business leaders. What do you think about the commercialization of movies? Many people say that movies are art, and art should not pursue commercial value excessively. " "This is unreasonable. Films are works of art and commodities, and commodities must consider this value. Other people who make literary films like to scold me and Xiaohu, saying that we have lowered the artistic level of Chinese films. They don¡¯t even think about where you get the money to make literary films. I don't make commercial movies for Huayi Brothers and make money. Can Wang Zhongjun invest in "Kara is a Dog" and "Kekexili"? I don¡¯t have any money to make you slap your ass. " "Director Feng is really obsessed with business. " Regarding Feng Xiaogang's foul language, the host said nonchalantly, not knowing how to answer the question. Feng Xiaogang still had more to say: "I'm not obsessed with business.??I'm quite disgusted with making movies just to make money. You have to distinguish between commercial movies and making money. Commercial movies also tell stories and are not that cheap, but you can't just go to the box office. Huayi Brothers' capital is relatively complicated, with Jack Ma and Yu Feng entering the market one by one. There are many big bosses in my social circle. When we chatted, they joked, Zhongjun, you shouldn¡¯t let Xiaogang earn too much money. After making too much money, he will become inert and not want to work. What he said was the attitude of an employer. I thought to myself, fuck you, who do you think you are? Just invest your money honestly when I make a movie. Don't pretend to be a big-tailed wolf. I know the movie well. " "Ha ha. "Wan Xiaohu laughed, and many students below also laughed. Feng Dapao spoke as carelessly as ever.
