Pachira is quite familiar with Wang Shang. When the "Transformers" comics appeared, Paramount has been eyeing it and wanted to get the film rights. Then it started a seven-year relationship with Tianwang Film and Television.
"Love, Hate, Love". Correspondingly, Paramount will naturally pay great attention to Wang Shang, a famous director and screenwriter, and has already established an analysis file within the company.
Therefore, Pachira naturally would not take Wang Shang's work lightly, and told others: ""Transformers" has appeared in comics since 2002, and the original creator was the director Wang Shang. At that time, we at Paramount
I fell in love with this script, but Wang Shang rejected it. Now, after waiting for so long, filming has finally started. Unfortunately, the Chinese military is here, and our Hollywood company can't get involved."
"Wang Shang made this movie. With his habit of preparing for rainy days, it is naturally impossible for him to fight an unprepared battle. Therefore, the 3D technology he mentioned must be mature, but I don't know how much it compares to the 3D technology we use now.
The advantages and disadvantages of."
The producers who hold the most power have said this, so others naturally dare not not listen.
At this time, Alfonso Cuaron suddenly said: "By the way, I think I heard that there seemed to be a Chinese person who wanted to buy the copyright of "Lord of the Rings". Well, it seems that "Harry Potter" also has the same
What happened to me, could it be this person??"
When others heard this, they were shocked: "There is such a thing??"
Pachira looked around at the others and nodded. As a middle-level and senior-level executive within Paramount, he naturally had some internal secrets: "It is indeed him. I heard that he contacted the descendants of the father of fantasy a year in advance.
And Ms. J.K. Rowling contacted me and wanted to buy the film rights."
"Then why didn't he get the copyright?" A person asked curiously. When he just asked the question, he realized that it was wrong, because they are Chinese, and "Harry Potter" and "Lord of the Rings" are both European and cultural.
The gap is huge, and it is impossible for a Chinese to play a European. In the past few years, I heard that no actor had ever played the Chinese masterpiece "Journey to the West". As a result, the Chinese people criticized me for being useless, and they complained to a lot of people.
After being silent for a long time, Alfonso Cuarón sighed: "If this is really the case, then this person's sense of filmmaking is terrible. It should not be underestimated."
Pachira also nodded: "Indeed. The success of his "Death is Coming", "Fast and Furious", and "Apocalypse" series is not accidental. I heard that many of his company's high-grossing movies are
His shadow is there."
Others couldn't help but put away their contempt for Wang Shang.
"Don't you think the power of fate is very powerful? Wang Shang has been eyeing the three movies "Lord of the Rings", "Transformers" and "Harry Potter" from the beginning. As a result, all three movies have started shooting this year. And
It’s the same 3D movie again. And they will definitely be released together next year. They all coincide with each other.”
Everyone thought for a while and nodded.
"The good news is that we started shooting in February. "Transformers" only started shooting in August, so the progress is definitely not as fast as ours, so we only need to worry about "Harry Potter" and our
Competition." Both crews can be said to be holding their breath at this time, wanting to finish filming ahead of schedule and get the title of the first major 3D movie.
Coincidentally, the crew of "Harry Potter 1" directed by Cameron was also paying attention to the specific situation of the Chinese movie "Transformers" at this time, and made almost the same comments.
The final conclusion is: "Transformers" is not a threat, but "Lord of the Rings" is the enemy.
What they don't know is that Wang Shang has actually been able to start filming for a long time, and the CG and special effects work for "Transformers" started early in February, so the progress is not as advanced as that of "Lord of the Rings" and "Harry Potter"
"Special" is much slower. In addition, the crew and team of "Transformers" are larger than the production teams of "Lord of the Rings" and "Harry Potter", so it should be able to gain some time.
Therefore, it is very likely that "Transformers" will be completed and released before these two movies.
Compared with the vigilance of the crews of "Lord of the Rings" and "Harry Potter", Universal, Paramount, Warner, and the special effects company Weta Data and Digital Domain, which worked on the two films, saw a different side.
3D movie projection is different from 2D movie projection. The projector is different (it has two holes) and the screening hall is also different (it requires two holes).
After the production of "The Lord of the Rings" and "Harry Potter" are completed, 2D projectors and auditoriums cannot be used. Therefore, the transformation of cinemas has to be put on the agenda of several companies. American theater chains are okay
, the biggest headache for them is that in China, a country where the planned economy still plays an important role, it is even more difficult to transform its theater chains.
But China's film market is extremely huge, so it would be a pity to give up.
At this time, Tianwang Film and Television actually announced that they would also use 3D to shoot "Transformers". They immediately thought of a way: "Let Tianwang Film and Television take charge of the transformation of theaters in China."
————————
After the crew of "Transformers" finished filming the scene where the protagonist buys a car, the filming location began to move to an abandoned warehouse in the suburbs. Here, three scenes of the movie will be shot: Scene 15: The protagonist Wang Song tracks his car
, and found that his car turned into a pedestrian robot'; in the 30th scene, the protagonist was chased by his car to the warehouse, and ended up encountering Decepticon members'; in the 50th scene, Optimus Prime took all the
The Autobots gather at the Earth Warehouse'.
The fifteenth act is divided into thirteen scenes in total, including 'riding a bicycle and chasing a car into the warehouse', 'car passing through the warehouse', 'the protagonist is chased by a dog', 'message/confession on the mobile phone'...and so on.
The three scenes of 'riding a bicycle and chasing a car into a warehouse', 'car entering a warehouse', and 'message/confession on a mobile phone' were shot effortlessly and passed in one go. But the 'message on a mobile phone' was quite funny: "If you leave a message under the bed
I found pornographic books and periodicals, that’s not mine, I’m saving it for Maxi, no, wait... okay, that’s mine, um... Uncle Cha gave it to me, I’m sorry..."
When people around me heard this line, they almost got angry. Some people couldn't help thinking: "This line is full of lascivious style. I guess it was written by Director Wang himself, right?"
The easy scenes in Act 15 were all shot in just one and a half days, while the rest were more difficult, such as the scene where the dog was chased.
"Crazy? We will find two very docile puppies to chase you later, don't worry." Wang Shang patted Hu Bugui on the shoulder with a sly smile on his face.
Michael Bay also smiled evilly next to him. After more than ten days of contact, he has completely integrated into the team and is completely relaxed.
As for Wang Shang, in order to learn more from Michael Bay, Wang Shang deliberately delegated part of the directing power to him. At the same time, Wang Shang was not ashamed to ask questions and asked for advice humbly.
Hu Bugui looked at Wang Shang and Michael Bay. For some reason, he felt a cold wind blowing and his spine felt cold.
After resting for a while, a sound came from outside.
"The dog is coming! The dog is coming!!"
Wang Shang and the rest of the crew focused their attention on the door. Not long after, they saw two special police officers in police uniforms and two... majestic German wolfdogs (German shepherds/black backs) with a height of at least 65cm.
The strong and well-developed muscles, the sharp teeth exposed between the mouth, and the low growls constantly coming out. And the eyes... so scary~~~~~
"Peat!! Tender??Puppy??" Hu Bugui thought of Wang Shanggang's deception, and his face was full of guilt~~~~
"You have to run faster later, don't let them catch up!!" Michael Bay patted Hu Bugui on the shoulder to encourage him.
Hu Bugui burst into tears~~~
These two dogs were borrowed by Wang Shang from the Magic City Police a few days ago. Naturally, the Magic City Police would not refuse and immediately sent two well-trained old police dogs. Of course, there are also two police dogs that work with them all year round.
A special police officer in life. Before coming, Wang Shang consulted the police. There was no problem with safety, so Wang Shang felt relieved.
The two special police officers were notified today that they would join the crew with their police dogs. After being stunned, they became extremely excited. They did not expect that the opportunity would fall into their hands. How lucky!
Now when I came to the set and saw so many celebrities, I couldn't help but want to ask them for autographs or something. Finally, I suppressed the restlessness in my heart and made preparations according to the arrangements of the crew.
"Don't worry, nothing will happen." A special police officer looked at Hu Bugui's worried look and quickly comforted him.
Hu Bugui took a few deep breaths and nodded.
About half an hour later, all the props, equipment, and personnel were ready. The long iron chain and the buttons and walls connected to the iron chain were also 'made'.
This scene also needed to be shot in two parts. One part is when the dog pulls out bricks and chases the protagonist, and the other part is when the protagonist jumps on a high platform and the dog barks underneath (the dog is being pulled by a special police officer at this time).
The second paragraph passed in one go without any NG, but in the first paragraph, when the wolf dog chased Hu Bugui, Hu Bugui ran too nervously and violently, which resulted in cramps in his feet. He recovered after being massaged by the crew's doctor.
Later, Hu Bugui almost hit a wall, and was chased 200 meters away by a dog. After several struggles... he finally finished filming this section.
Hu Bugui was already lying on the ground like a dead dog, while the crew, led by Wang Shang and Michael, laughed happily.
After shooting this scene, we moved the location to the warehouse next door and started shooting the thirtieth scene.
The two special police officers also came over anxiously and asked for Wang Shang's autograph: "My daughter/son is your fan, so can you sign it for me?" After saying that, they took out a "Speed" that they had prepared.
and Passion" movie CD, a copy of "Chinese Film Weekly".
Wang Shang smiled and happily signed.
