Chapter 447: If the orangutan has the wisdom of humans.
Originally, Han Fei planned to conduct post-production directly in the United States, but considering the efficiency here, he finally gave up. Moreover, he could also use this opportunity to let the "Tiangong" technical team practice their skills. If he really couldn't figure it out, it would cost him a lot of money.
Qian hired someone to come to China for guidance because he no longer wanted to be angry with the labor union.
Regarding Han Fei's decision, Chris could only express his helplessness: "Yes, those people in the union are like lunatics. They don't even consider the cost of filming. They are a bunch of bastards."
The group of people flew from the United States to Beijing again. Unexpectedly, at the airport, they saw the most shocking scene in their lives.
The exit of the airport was crowded with people, but they were not star-struck fans. Almost all they held in their hands were posters of "The Wandering Earth". What impressed Han Fei the most was a simple drawing board with only a few crude fonts on it.
Let the world see our power”
No one rushed forward screaming for autographs or taking photos. Everyone seemed to have rehearsed it in advance. When Han Fei and his party came out, the crowd made a way in the middle for everyone to pass. Airport security
Originally feeling like they were facing a formidable enemy, they were immediately stunned when they saw this situation. They had seen too many crazy fans, but they had never seen such a harmonious scene.
Walking out of the crowd, Han Fei bowed slightly and got on the bus. Only at this moment did he feel the real power of Chinese-language movies. The size of the market, the big-name stars, and the big-name directors were all nonsense. The reason why Chinese-language movies are in the situation they are today is,
It's all because of these audiences, who support the backbone of Chinese-language films.
This scene was also posted on the Internet by many netizens. At first, many big Vs in the industry thought that it was all fake and was hired by Han Fei to promote the new movie. After all, how could fans be so rational? However, as various
Only through the reports of the big media do they know what people's support is.
The editing of "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" is not complicated. The real difficulty lies in post-production, because a large amount of CG animation is required to cover the body of the "ape actor", which is an extremely tedious and technically demanding task.
Han Fei is not idle either, and is going through various procedures for the release. Because the original script review of this film did not pass, he went to the United States to film it, directly avoiding the domestic review. Now it is very troublesome to get it released.
Quite a few.
Of course, these are nothing, at most they are a little troublesome. What really gives Han Fei a headache is, is his film considered a Hollywood film? Or is it a Chinese film?
The difference is huge. Although many Hollywood blockbusters have achieved amazing results in the Chinese film market, the Chinese market actually has a self-protection mechanism for Hollywood films, such as shortening the release time and limiting the number of films.
, of course, these are conventions, not explicit rules.
"You kid, are you nervous now?" The leader glanced at Han Fei angrily.
Han Fei quickly said: "Boss, you also know our situation. When the script failed to pass the review, we transferred the background to the United States. Although most of the actors are American, the team behind the scenes is still us. This
If it’s a Hollywood movie, it’s too unreasonable, right?”
"Huh, don't do this to me. I don't know you? You just want to take advantage of both sides." The leader said clearly.
Han Fei scratched his head in embarrassment. Indeed, his idea was for this movie to be released in North America and the Chinese-speaking market at the same time. He even boasted that it would be released at the same time around the world. It sounded unusual.
After all, he had suffered losses in "The Wandering Earth". After the copyrights in Asia were sold, various high-definition videos began to appear on pirated websites in Europe and North America. North America was relatively good, but Cinedigm was cracking down, while Europe was completely
It’s out of control, which is the main reason why so many countries in Europe haven’t sold a single copyright.
"Well, this film, even if it is a joint venture film, you can go through the normal procedures and go through the formalities." The leader finally came up with a plan that had the best of both worlds.
Han Fei's eyes lit up. In fact, a joint venture film was equivalent to a backdoor left by the management department, because according to regulations, joint venture films enjoy the same treatment as mainland films. Just like "The Great Wall" of Guoshi, even if it is a joint venture film, in
When it is released in the Mainland, it is completely treated like a domestic film and does not need to be distributed through China Film Company.
"By the way, the film has passed the review. Remember to send me a letter when you go to the film screening. It's better to watch the film at your place."
"Okay."
After solving this problem, Han Fei finally let go of a big stone in his heart, and spent the next time focusing entirely on post-production.
The three-dimensional motion capture system was more complicated than Han Fei imagined. Each action required converting the captured two-dimensional image into a three-dimensional image through animation CG filling. The special effects production was originally expected to take three months.
It took five months of overtime work to be considered complete.
The review was quickly passed. Of course, the version submitted for review in China deleted some scenes of orangutans causing harm to humans. After all, harmony comes first.
On the day of the screening, the leader was the last one to make his final appearance. This time, all the theater managers were waiting obediently, obviously they had learned from the past.
The movie opens with a scene of a group of orangutans being hunted by humans. The 3D image is still frighteningly realistic. When the gorillas are hung from the tree, everyone feels top-heavy and even thinks they are being hung.
The next plot is relatively calm. Caesar is taken home by the male protagonist and raised carefully. At the same time, the male protagonist begins to study new viruses in order to cure his father's Alzheimer's disease.
By chance, Caesar was imprisoned in an animal shelter, where he suffered abuse from the guards. However, where there is oppression, there is resistance. Caesar subdued the gorilla that had been against him and became their leader.
At the same time, in order to make these similar people also have wisdom, he sneaked home and stole the new virus studied by Caesar.
"Oh my God, are these orangutans real?"
When seeing the vivid pictures of the orangutans, many theater managers couldn't help but marvel. The most incredible thing is not the movements of the gorillas, but their expressions, which look no different from humans and can make people subconsciously
From being ignored that they are a group of orangutans, to being more like a group of early humans who are oppressed and want to be free.
In fact, there is a metaphor here. In the theory of evolution, don’t humans evolve from primates? If a group of orangutans acquire human intelligence, are they humans? Or are they beasts?
