In the Chinese film market, monster movies are also a blank subject. Almost no local monster movies have been released, while there are many foreign ones, but very few serious ones have been introduced.
This time, Rongxing Media relied on its strong connections to not only win some imported films, but also directly selected a monster movie. This is indeed a good opportunity to make money.
People like to see new things.
Especially in the movie market, novel themes have always been very popular, which is why there is a huge market for science fiction blockbusters.
Monster movies are also similar to science fiction blockbusters. As long as this kind of theme is filmed well, it can attract a large number of audiences to watch the movie in the theater.
So this time Rongxing Media believes in its own vision.
The quality of foreign blockbusters is guaranteed, and Rongxing Media has its own channel advantages. Together, they will definitely be able to dominate the Chinese film market.
Correspondingly, Beidou Entertainment and Chen Feng are working very hard on the so-called "The Wandering Earth", which is simply a thankless effort.
Let’s not talk about how difficult it is to make a science fiction film in the Chinese film market.
Even if it is finally filmed, it may not be able to sell a good box office.
It would be really miserable if we lose the money then.
How can a company like Rongxing Media directly represent a foreign blockbuster and just wait to collect the money!
This is truly beautiful.
In fact, the people at Rongxing Media have become a bit arrogant, and some people have begun to vaguely challenge "The Wandering Earth" on the Internet!
Do you dare to finish filming this so-called Chinese science fiction blockbuster quickly, and then compete with this imported monster blockbuster?
…
In this regard, "The Wandering Earth" has no response at all.
Nowadays, everyone is too busy making movies. Who has the heart to argue with those boring people?
Besides, the project "The Wandering Earth" was not originally planned to be completed in a short time. Even after the filming is completed, post-production and special effects will still take a long time, and it has not even been released yet.
Fixed file.
Therefore, "The Wandering Earth" doesn't care about other people's provocations.
You may be provocative, but if I pay more attention, I lose!
…
Although the filming progress of "The Wandering Earth" is very slow, the production of another film invested and produced by Ping An has been quickly established and filming has begun.
The filming progress is still very fast.
This is Zuo Fei's "Shark Beach" crew.
With the investment given by Chen Feng, Zuo Fei was finally freed from his previous predicament. He could finally show off his talents and make his own movies to the fullest.
And it’s also a regular theatrical blockbuster!
Zuo Fei was so happy.
With money, he can reorganize his own crew, re-plan his shooting, and re-order better special photo props. In short, now he can do almost anything he wants.
Of course, he did not completely lose his mind. With the help of Zhang Miao and Lan Jingjing, he first set up his own new crew.
Unlike when I was making a short film where I randomly gathered a few classmates to form a team, this time "Shark Beach" had two million in funds and could officially hire many real professionals.
Moreover, under Chen Feng's care, Zuo Fei and the others also established a connection with Tailang Entertainment. Much of the process of forming the crew relied on Tailang Entertainment's relationships, so the final team was quite reliable.
With such a foundation, Zuo Fei's work can start more smoothly.
Finally, the filming location of "Shark Beach" was still set on the beach on Qiongzhou Island, which is where Zuo Fei and his group met Chen Feng and others by chance for the first time.
Zuo Fei, Zhang Miao and Lan Jingjing all firmly believe that this is their blessed land, and restarting work here will definitely have a good sign.
This is indeed the case. After restarting production, the crew made very smooth progress.
Although Zuo Fei is still very young, because he received investment from Chen Feng and most of the crew members are from Tailang Entertainment, many people are very cooperative. Zuo Fei can mobilize the entire crew very easily.
.
The most important thing is that Zuo Fei is very talented in photography technology and controlling the rhythm of the film's plot. After working with the crew for a period of time, everyone admired him.
Soon, everyone re-shot all the scenes in the first half of the movie.
Next is the part about shooting special photo props.
The prop shark was prepared and shipped a few days ago. Because the price is right, the quality is very good. After it is thrown into the water, it is difficult to tell the authenticity from a distance.
Even if you look closely, it gives people a chilling feeling.
Especially the huge teeth are very realistic.
Zuo Fei was also very satisfied with the prop shark and played with it whenever he had time.
After all, when he was a child, he often watched some live-action special-shooting cartoons such as Dinosaur Warriors and Ultraman. The special-shooting props in those cartoons were sometimes very well done, which once convinced Zuo Fei as a child that everything was real.
Therefore, as long as the props are well made and the shooting angle is well controlled, special photography props can be used to produce shots that look as if they are real.
Especially the subject of sharks, because although many people may not have seen real sharks in reality, they have seen them more or less in some video materials. Therefore, everyone knows what sharks look like, and I want to make people think about it.
To create a sense of immersion, the shots must be as realistic as possible.
In this regard, Zuo Fei decided to study it carefully.
When he had no funds before, he even thought about taking fewer shark shots to avoid being exposed.
But now that he has sufficient funds, Zuo Fei decided to take as many realistic shots of sharks as possible.
Because this can enhance the persuasiveness of the movie.
For this type of movie, the most taboo thing is to make it mysterious. After a long time of filming, there are only a few frontal shots of the monsters.
Then let the audience watch it!
For example, the imported foreign blockbuster that is being promoted recently.
There is not a single frontal shot of the monster in the trailer. Although everyone knows that you are doing a gimmick, this is too disappointing.
If the trailer is like this, what about the main film?
If the feature film also uses this kind of side description and fictitious writing, then what else is there to watch about the movie?
So Zuo Fei was determined not to let himself make the same mistake.
Moreover, Zuo Fei has recently noticed the provocation of "The Wandering Earth" by the imported monster movie on the Internet.
He knows that "The Wandering Earth" is Chen Feng's most important project this year, and now Chen Feng's project has actually been provoked.
Although Chen Feng could bear it, Zuo Fei felt that this was actually a bit frustrating.
So, he secretly calculated the filming progress of his "Shark Beach".
If we tighten things up a bit, maybe... my own "Shark Beach" can be released around April.
Isn't this a coincidence? Isn't it...

ps: The new virus epidemic is very serious recently. Everyone should pay more attention to safety, go out as little as possible, and take protective measures when going out.
In fact, it’s better to stay at home and read novels~ Hehehe!
