In addition to the special effects, the post-production of "Watchmen League" is also about the soundtrack.
Among them, Lin Jian hired a specialized linguist to create a lingua franca for the universe. It is impossible for the entire universe to speak English.
The sense of immersion and epicness blooms in every detail.
Carefully crafted.
In terms of soundtrack, Lin Juan contacted a Chinese and foreign soundtrack team of 25 people to score each segment of the movie through video conferencing. They were each responsible for the soundtrack for the Chinese and Western camps. For example, Liu Xing and the others played Chinese songs when they appeared.
Downey and the others played English songs.
There are also exciting and majestic accompaniments and theme songs, which all take time and are huge projects.
The audio tracks need to be adjusted one by one to find the most suitable frequency, which is also a delicate job.
After staying with Lin Juan for three days, Li Qingyu also left to do his own business. The crew over there was still waiting for her to promote. The last time she filmed "Feng Nv" was about to be released.
Li Qingyu, the scriptwriter of this movie, told him that for this movie...
How should I put it, Lin Juan is not particularly optimistic about it, it is probably a mediocre film, but if the special effects are good and the actors are directed at it, the film should not suffer.
After Li Qingyu left, Lin Juan also began to get busy. For the director, the completion of the filming just represents the beginning of another period of work.
Time is passing in this process. On June 8th, "Thor" began to be released globally, and the final box office was 3.2 billion yuan, which was not much different from the previous estimate. Now Chen Guang is competing with various video websites around the world.
Talking about copyright issues in various regions, the copyrights of movies that are popular all over the world are easy to sell, unlike movies that are only popular in a certain region.
This is why Hollywood film companies have a market value of tens to hundreds of billions of dollars, while domestic film companies only have a market value of tens of billions of RMB.
But Chen Guang is now relying on Lin Juan to enter the international market, and his market value has been rising. After Chen Guang announced a new contract with Lin Juan, the market value once exceeded 70 billion. Of course, with the success of "Thor", it has already
It has exceeded 80 billion.
This stock is going up...
This is why Lin Juan is called the king of commercial films.
On the 13th, a team of soundtrack engineers was officially formed to start producing the post-production sound effects of "The Alliance". One-third of the special effects shots were returned. These were early shots. Lin Juan spent every day reviewing these shots and discussing the soundtrack with the music director.
spend.
In the outside world, with Lin Juan temporarily withdrawing from the box office market, other film companies that finally got a breather came on stage.
The first is Lee Ching-woo's "Phoenix", which is scheduled to be released on June 19th, and then there is the domestic horror film "Eater of Souls" by a less well-known director, but it is highly promoted, with a bit of fantasy elements.
There are also sci-fi and historical-themed movies such as "Adventures in Time and Space" and "Feng Yun of the Tang Dynasty". It can be said that a hundred flowers are blooming.
But there is no movie with the same momentum as Lin Juan's movie, and the most powerful one is "Feng Nv".
On the 19th, Lin Juan took the time to attend the premiere of "Feng Nu". He was definitely going to help support the scene of his girlfriend's movie.
During the red carpet interview, reporters asked questions one after another: "Director Lin, it is reported that your new film "Watchmen" has officially entered the post-production stage. When can you officially meet with everyone?"
"Director Lin, have you read the script of "Feng Nu" before? What do you think of this movie?"
"..."
Lin Juan was wearing a matte black slim-fitting suit, and his hair was meticulously styled. Li Qingyu smiled and held Lin Juan's arm, looking sideways at him. Lin Juan smiled and replied: "Today is the premiere of "Feng Nu", about "Feng Nu"
I will announce it at another time later."
"I haven't seen it, but Qingyu told me before that I think this is a very good script, and I believe that everyone will not be disappointed."
"Marriage plans...you have to ask Qingyu about this."
"..."
Lin Juan's arrival could not steal the limelight of those big-name stars in front of fans, but after entering the scene, Lin Juan naturally became the focus of the audience, whether it was the actors, directors, investors, or the crew of "Feng Nu"
He is a big name who comes to support him. When chatting, his attention will be on Lin Juan. Whenever there is a chance, he will come over to chat with Lin Juan.
Either they look familiar and test whether they can get a role, or they bluntly say they want to invest in Lin Juan's new movie.
He is the one being chased by everyone.
This situation didn't get better until the movie officially started playing.
Lin Juan sat upright and began to watch the movie seriously.
The scene shown at the beginning of the film is of a scorching white sun, and then the camera pans down to show a tribe. The people of the tribe are dressed in sackcloth, wearing bone and tooth necklaces, and feathers. Phoenix totems can be seen everywhere on the earthen huts.
Lin Juan shook his head secretly. Just from the opening scene, you can see that the crew is petty. The atmosphere is not strong enough. They still follow the old path of film and television. These things are arranged on the surface and are not elaborated.
.
Then the drama begins.
This is a wild world, surrounded by giant beasts from the Classic of Mountains and Seas, and peeping from large tribes. The heroine who was born with a phoenix totem naturally has the power of the phoenix to protect the tribe. People from the large tribe want to possess the fire.
The power of Feng forces the heroine to marry the son of the chief of a large tribe.
War broke out.
The film goes from tribal life at the beginning, to hunting, to conflict, to the final battle, and the heroine is killed. Just when everyone is in despair, the heroine is reborn from the ashes, and can even transform into a phoenix, spreading fire to annihilate everything.
Big tribe.
Happy ending.
Overall, the special effects are pretty good. There are probably less than a thousand special effects shots in total, but they are quite beautifully done, especially the rebirth sequence.
The whole movie was above expectations. Lin Juan gave it a score of 79 because some of the shots, costumes, and props were a bit rough, and the plot also had loopholes in several aspects. But it is already a qualified commercial film, and Li Qingyu is very good.
Suitable for playing such a gentle yet domineering role.
After the movie ended, Lin Juan stood up and applauded. He knew best how difficult it is to make a movie.
After attending the premiere, Lin Juan did not go to their party or anything else, but went directly back to the company. Compared to that kind of occasion, he preferred to play with the shots he had taken.
After reminiscing about the movie he just watched, Lin Juan began to review the more than twenty special effects shots that were sent to him later today. After making sure that there were no problems, he assembled them one by one.
Seeing those completed pictures, Lin Juan will feel a sense of accomplishment.
Look, how beautiful it is.
Time passed day by day, and Lin Juan remained silent. Fans were discussing online when exactly "The Alliance" would be released. The fastest expectation was for Christmas, and there was even talk of next year, but June 27th
No., after communicating with Chris and the others, Chenguang and Universal officially announced that "Watchmen League" will be released on August 1st domestically and August 7th overseas. It will be released in China one week ahead of schedule.
As soon as the news came out, it caused a sensation all over the world.
