"What? You said the director bought a plane for filming?" Li He's eyes widened and he was very surprised.
Elizabeth Debicki was very satisfied with Li He's expression, nodded and said: "Yes, the Boeing 747 is a very big aircraft."
"Isn't the plane very expensive? Our investment is only 200 million US dollars. If we buy a plane, won't it be gone?" Li He asked.
Yin Lisabeth Debicki shook her head and said: "Don't worry, it's just an empty shell, a scrapped aircraft. Except for the engine, which is worth some money, everything else is worthless, and the engine has been removed and sold."
Li He patted his chest and said, "It's not bad, it's acceptable. I thought the director really bought a plane for filming."
In fact, if you think about it, Nolan would never do this no matter how crazy he is. In fact, before buying the plane, Nolan made a calculation with the crew to decide whether to use CG models or real-life production to save money. As a result, Nolan went to the airplane cemetery.
I found several airplanes that were in good condition but were scrapped, so I did some calculations and found that it would be cheaper to use real airplanes.
Li Hyuk could only give a thumbs up and say that Nolan will always be a god. Nolan's spirit of real-life shooting has actually been demonstrated for a long time. Li Hyuk still remembers when he played a doctor in "Interstellar",
I was shocked when I saw the more than 500 acres of cornfield.
After the filming was over, the corn in the cornfield matured, and the crew made a fortune by selling it, which was considered a different kind of income.
In fact, compared to buying a plane, the biggest difficulty the crew encountered was undoubtedly how to present the world that defies physics and how to shoot the action. In the film, there will be a scene where Li Hyuk fights himself who came through the portal, and he is actually an action actor.
, the two practiced this fight scene alone for half a month, and they barely met director Nolan's requirements.
There are also some big scenes in the film, such as the opera house scene, which is expected to require more than 800 extras, and the crew will need to coordinate and find them on the day of filming.
A large number of location scenes are shot on location. When visiting locations in the early stage, the shooting content must be planned, and a detailed production schedule and completion date must be drawn up.
The production schedule and completion date are necessary. Because of the constraints of the deadline, the film can be produced smoothly and will not end in vain. In fact, if there were no constraints on the production schedule and completion date, in the 1990s, everyone might
I won’t be able to watch the classic movie “Titanic”. Truckers are notoriously slow in making movies.
The actors have been training until the end of May. By this time, "Avengers 4" has already achieved global dominance. It is only a matter of time to surpass "Avatar" and become the number one box office hit in film history.
However, in China, "Avengers: Endgame" can only be ranked second, because the box office of "The Wandering Earth" during the Spring Festival is 5.2 billion, like a big mountain. "The Wandering Earth" has also been released overseas, but
Compared with domestic popularity, it has limited popularity. It landed in North America at the end of April and has only made more than 90 million US dollars so far. This is still due to Li Hyuk's certain appeal among fans.
The combined total of other regions does not exceed US$100 million. Including domestic box office, the film's global box office barely exceeds US$900 million, temporarily ranking third in the global annual box office, behind "Avengers 4" and "Captain Marvel".
However, this position will not last long. There are many blockbuster movies in the summer season, including many classic IP works.
Among the films confirmed to be released in June and July alone are "The Lion King", "Spider-Man: Far From Home", "Toy Story 4" and other works. No matter how you look at it, it is impossible for "The Wandering Earth" to hold the third position.

However, the top ten is stable, unless there is a particularly abnormal situation in the second half of the year. Even so, it is enough for industry insiders to sigh. Just relying on the domestic market and a small amount of overseas box office contributions, Chinese-language films have frequently appeared in the annual TOP10. This is
This situation also makes Chinese filmmakers full of confidence.
The potential of the Chinese film market is so great. If we provide the best environment for creators, it will be unreasonable if we cannot produce good works.
Because of the good start of "The Wandering Earth", the audience's trust in domestic science fiction films suddenly increased, and "Fortress of Shanghai" did a lot of bundled promotion in the early stage, and several trailers looked okay.
, it seems that the spring of domestic science fiction films has suddenly arrived.
It’s just that many viewers still have doubts about Lu Xiaohan. The reason is very simple. Lu Xiaohan has not proven himself in movies. Li He is the top box office Chinese male actor. Who are you, Lu Xiaohan?
Moreover, director Teng Huatao has no commendable works except for "Thirty-day Love", while "The Wandering Earth" director Guo Fan has two films, "A Little Thing About First Love" and "My Deskmate."
Moving forward amidst controversy, the schedule of "Fortress of Shang Hai" has also been set. It will meet the audience on August 9th. It has been a long few months. Not only Lu Xiaohan's fans and science fiction fans are anxious, but Lu Xiaohan himself is also anxious.
If others don’t know the quality of the film, how can he not know it? But it’s a pity that not everyone is Li Hyuk and can intervene in the production of the film. In other words, Lu Xiaohan is just an actor. What the film looks like is not even related to Teng Huatao himself.
It doesn’t matter what you say, it’s all in the hands of the investors.
There are rumors that Teng Huatao doesn't even have the final editing rights, and the editing of the film is in the hands of outsiders. In addition, the author and screenwriter Jiang Nan don't have to say anything, the entire crew is just a tool, and they can just complete their tasks, and other things
It's not even the crew's turn to do it.
It's okay to say that the film is a success after its release, but if it fails, the investors won't have to lose the most money, but the crew will take the blame. However, the most unlucky person will be Lu Xiaohan, and he will definitely be the one who takes the biggest blame.
So Lu Xiaohan now hopes that the movie will be a big hit and at least not lose money. In this way, although there will still be criticism, it will at least prove his box office appeal and not be beaten to death with a stick in film matters.
I have to say that none of the four returning sons’ attempts in the film business have been successful. The other two, Zhang and Huang, have given up on this and are concentrating on variety shows and TV series. As for someone, I won’t mention it. Lu Xiaohan is quite ambitious.
The one who never gave up the movie business.
Facts have proved that movies are not something that can only be played by being famous and rich, and the audience is not that easy to attract. After all, movie tickets are bought with money. In addition to fans who will willingly pay for it, the audience can enter the cinema.
There is only one reason, and that is a good movie.
After the baptism of bad movies in the past few years, the audience has developed a keen eye. It will not be so easy to trick the audience in the future.
Lu Xiaohan was worried about the prospects of "Shanghai Fortress", while Li He was worried about the filming of "Creed". He originally thought that the early training would not be so hard, but he found that he was overthinking it. Every time he returned to his residence after training, it was like taking off his clothes.
It felt like a layer of skin had fallen off, and I was almost dead from exhaustion.
At first, Li Hyuk saw that the actors he was training with basically didn't sit down and rest during training. He also took a rest, but later he couldn't help it anymore and would rest and be lazy whenever he found an opportunity.
At first, Li He was worried that Nolan would scold him, but later he found that everyone was the same. Nolan didn't say anything, maybe he also knew that the training intensity was too high.
The crew still has to pay attention to the basic laws when filming. If other scenes are not filmed, the leading actors will be given training.
