That's right, Han Fei has returned to the public eye again, and "The Wandering Earth" has been completed. Although it is only the live-action part, and post-production still requires a lot of time, there is finally news, isn't it?
It was not until this time that many netizens discovered that no matter how much they had previously disliked the movie "The Wandering Earth", they had to admit that Han Fei and his team had spent several years making people accustomed to their existence.
Each of their films will receive extremely high attention, which is the most beneficial reward for their past insistence on taking the high-quality route.
The completion of "The Wandering Earth" means that it needs to be promoted, and since he is the biggest actor in the crew, he naturally has to shoulder the burden of publicity.
"Han Fei, is it true that there were rumors that your investment in oil failed and the capital chain collapsed?" At the Beijing Airport, Han Fei was surrounded by reporters.
Since there is a need for publicity, Han Fei will naturally not say anything silently. In fact, he was the one who got the news about the completion of "The Wandering Earth".
"Of course, it's fake. Didn't you see it? [The Wandering Earth] has been completed. If my investment fails, how can I still have money to make a movie?"
However, another reporter said: "The investment in [The Wandering Earth] is as high as one billion. Finishing is only the first step. There will be a lot of special effects shots in the later stage. Will it affect the production effect of the special effects?"
Han Fei shrugged helplessly and said in a joking tone: "Why can't you hope for me to do better? You think I've lost money? Do you want me to show you my bank card balance?"
"Of course." A female reporter blurted out.
"You are so beautiful, so don't think too much about it." Han Fei smiled at her.
"Haha~~~"
Zifeng followed Han Fei and watched him deal with the media with ease, chatting and laughing without being annoyed at all by reporters. She couldn't help but secretly admire her. If it were her, she would probably be at a loss after being asked a few questions like this, right?
When the reporters saw Han Fei's calm and calm look, and his lack of investment failure, they couldn't help but believe it. Of course, he would definitely continue to make things difficult, otherwise what manuscript would he submit when he went back?
So a reporter asked: "Han Fei, as far as I know, this "The Wandering Earth" has taken more than a year from script preparation to finalization. According to your past shooting speed, both films were shot.
That’s it. This doesn’t include the subsequent special effects production cycle. Have you ever thought that even if [The Wandering Earth] achieves a breakthrough box office of 5 billion, it will still be a loss for you?”
As soon as this statement came out, everyone at the scene turned their attention to Han Fei. Indeed, according to the efficiency of Han Fei's team in the past, by the time "The Wandering Earth" is released, they can shoot at least three movies. In terms of revenue, he will definitely be losing money.
, and it was blood loss.
Han Fei's face also became solemn: "You are right. For a film and television company owner, I did lose money shooting this movie, but for an actor and a practitioner in the film and television industry, I
It’s an honor to be a part of the production of this film.”
"Some things are destined to be done by someone. In that case, why can't that person be me? I believe [The Wandering Earth] will definitely become a landmark work in Chinese science fiction movies."
Han Fei said that the topic changed here: "And I won't necessarily lose money, right? You know, [The Wandering Earth] is very promising to hit the international market, and the profits in the North American market are all in US dollars!"
"International market?"
"Did I hear correctly?"
There was a commotion among reporters. Yes, although today's Chinese-language films are in full bloom and appear to be prosperous, in fact, upon closer inspection, they are just reaping the dividends of the mainland box office market. It is hard to say how long this dividend will last, but the audience does not understand
They don't want to hear the inside story, so the media naturally don't want to mention it more.
In fact, how many years has it been since Chinese-language films earned U.S. dollars? Three years? Five years? I can’t remember clearly. Not to mention commercial films, even literary and artistic films have disappeared. You must know that in the 1980s,
At the beginning of the new century, Chinese-language literary and artistic films were blooming everywhere, and Chinese-language films won awards every year at the three major film festivals. But now? It seems that only some shameless female stars go to the red carpet.
Feng Chi had vowed before that he would enter the North American market, but what happened? Did he fail?
After so many years, everyone seems to have forgotten that in addition to the mainland market, there is also the existence of North America, the world's largest film market, or it is intentional forgetting, because for Chinese-language films, it has become
Sadly out of reach.
However, this time, Han Fei confidently stated that "The Wandering Earth" was intended to hit the North American market from the beginning of filming.
"Big news!" These four words came to almost all reporters' minds.
However, while they were stunned, Han Fei had already squeezed out of the crowd with Zifeng. After that, even if reporters caught up with him and asked questions, he remained silent. There was still a long time before "The Wandering Earth" was released.
For a long period of time, the information cannot be released all at once. Only by releasing a little news at intervals can the audience's interest be aroused.
Of course, the next most important thing is the production of special effects. For "The Wandering Earth", the success or failure of the special effects determines 80% whether the film will be successful. Therefore, finishing is just the beginning, and there will be more difficult tasks later.
Way to go.
Jiang Qinghou led the team into the editing room and hardly came out except to eat and sleep. All the special effects teams of "Tiangong" quickly got into intense work.
The production of post-production special effects is also quite time-consuming, as both the 2D and 3D versions have to be considered.
Finally, two months later, Jiang Qinghou made a refined cut, and then everyone, including the special effects production team, gathered in the screening room to watch it and discuss together where improvements needed to be made.
In fact, generally speaking, special effects should be done after editing. After all, the cost of doing special effects is very high. It would be very depressing if the special effects that you put so much effort into were cut by the director with a pair of scissors.
Only Han Fei and others can achieve coordination by having a special effects team follow up and record things from the very beginning of real-location shooting.
After the refined version came out, it took half a month of revisions, and the entire story structure was cleaned up, which also promoted the special effects production to a certain extent.
In October, "The Wandering Earth" released its first promotional video. It was only one and a half minutes long, but it caused an uproar on the Internet.
Most viewers actually had mixed feelings before clicking on it. Speaking of expectations, they were a little bit high. After all, who doesn’t want to see Chinese-language movies getting better and better? But most of them are still worried, in case this movie doesn’t meet the expectations.
Expectations, even bad ones, wouldn’t all hopes be dashed?
