China Entertainment King of Science Fiction

Chapter 249 Shooting in Magic City

"Here, coffee."

Yan Xiaoyue took two cups of coffee, one large and one small, and walked up to Chen Jingxing, who was debugging a huge 3D camera with the photographer, and handed out the small cup.

After taking it, Chen Jingxing took a sip and frowned: "Good guy, is it still iced?"

Yan Xiaoyue smiled and said: "The habit I developed on the set of "Yue Nv Sword" is to have a large glass of iced Americano in the morning, and I will be in good condition all day long!"

"I just asked you for a cup of coffee, and you're going to retaliate against me like this?"

"You are right to listen to my senior sister. After drinking one glass, you will not only be refreshed for the whole day, but also feel relaxed for the whole day."

"I'm in a good mood?" Chen Jingxing looked at Yan Xiaoyue's half-smiling eyes and said, "Although I still love surfing the Internet, I have seen a lot of storms and waves in the past two years. Where is this? Director Wang is an old man.

Senior, it’s okay to just say a few words, but how do you say that sentence? ‘I have the box office, laugh at the sour dog’? Just think of it as adding interest to "The Matrix"."

It is true that Chen Jingxing did not mean to be generous. In fact, if he was criticized by a great director of Wang Molin's level without naming him, he would naturally feel uncomfortable in his heart. However, let's put it in his shoes and think about his original performance in "Tang Detective".

At the media preview, a certain top actor was criticized almost by name, which must have made people feel uncomfortable.

After staying in the entertainment industry for a long time, it is often difficult to tell whether it is a show or sincerity. In the end, it can only be measured by interests. Can Wang Molin hurt him by "shooting" him? No, I have some feelings for DreamWorks and "The Matrix"

Is there any benefit? It is indeed beneficial. The heat itself is a benefit.

Even if he doesn't like the popularity of the topic, it's no loss at all. Moreover, it has lowered the audience's expectations in a disguised way, and will bring even greater surprises to the audience when the trailer is announced and released in the future.

It is also difficult to shoot street chases and fights in Shanghai. In such an international metropolis, road closures are not only troublesome but also very costly.

The Magic City has both modern high-rise buildings, as well as old-fashioned buildings full of sentiment and historical charm. It is also famous enough. At the same time, it is consistent with Chen Jingxing's consistent use of movies to subtly promote China's modernization intentions and urban ideas.

Of course, just because the background is Magic City does not mean that the entire film will be shot in Magic City. This is unrealistic, and even most scenes will not be shot in Magic City.

Therefore, the authorities are very welcoming to Chen Jingxing's new film "The Matrix" being set in a magical city. Generally, if a landmark building of a certain city appears in the movie, it usually requires the approval of the city's officials. For Dreams

The factory's application was approved almost immediately in Shanghai.

Seeing Lu Hongzhe trotting over nervously, Chen Jingxing touched his nose and said, Good guy, it seems that I have to come later tomorrow, otherwise I am afraid I will get involved. It is difficult to be a famous director.

Yan Xiaoyue burst out laughing: "It's quite refreshing to think about it. In fact, there is some room left in what Director Wang said. Some of his disciples and grandchildren spoke quite unpleasantly. I didn't expect you to not be angry even after I saw it.

I can’t help but want to refute.”

Not to mention the chase scenes, fight scenes in the alleys and streets, and the peak showdown in the subway station, which can almost give a panoramic display of the modernity and tradition of the Magic City, as well as the East and the West.

"Hey, Lu Hongzhe is here. He arrived quite early."

He can be called a non-staff propagandist for China’s high-speed railway.

First of all, it is impossible to shoot the scenes in Jin Mao Tower on the spot. It all needs to be shot in a greenhouse, set up with a green screen, and synthesized with visual effects in post-production.

Maybe, when "The Matrix" really sets off a kung fu craze at home and abroad, the group of people who are now echoing Wang Molin's criticism of him, especially some martial arts directors, martial arts stand-ins, action directors and action actors in the industry, will still have to wait and see.

Pinch your nose and thank him, he likes to see others get slapped in the face by him.

It not only attracts a large number of domestic tourists, but also many overseas tourists who come to China like to experience the Beijing-Shanghai Line, experience the feelings of the male and female protagonists of "Source Code", and shoot and record the scenery along the line.

Yan Xiaoyue suppressed her laughter and said: "Which actor dares to come late? The first scene must not leave a good impression on a great director like you? Who would have thought that a director like you would come so early, I guess you would scare him.

I thought I was late."

Chen Jingxing's movies have always been sold at home and abroad, not to mention that the urban landscape is more likely to attract tourists than the high-speed rail and the scenery along the line. The Magic City is naturally extremely generous.

So the shooting plan was set up with greenhouses and green screens, self-built buildings and scenes on a street, and final special effects processing. This is not difficult for today's Mo.

Wang Molin is a leading director of domestic kung fu-themed films. In the eyes of a swordsman like Yan Xiaoyue, he is certainly one of the directors he most hopes to work with.

For the urban background of "The Matrix", Chen Jingxing chose the Magic City.

The Beijing-Shanghai high-speed railway that appeared in "Source Code" and the beautiful scenery of the Great Plains in northern Jiangsu have made this line and the plain section become internet celebrities.

Only the scene where the male protagonist went on a team mission for the first time after awakening and returned to the Matrix to consult the "Saint" about whether he was the savior was shot on location in the Magic City. An old-fashioned high-rise building close to the Bund was selected for a small-scale

Road closure.

It was also impossible to film the subway showdown on location.

After the actors had put on their makeup and changed into costumes, and all departments of the crew had adjusted the equipment and lighting, at exactly nine o'clock in the morning, the first scene of "The Matrix" officially started filming in an old-fashioned building in Shanghai.

"It's okay. When "The Matrix" premieres, I will send an invitation to Director Wang and let him see the movie with his own eyes. Then we will see how his face looks."

After thinking about it, he no longer cared about these things. As for the opinions of netizens, it was even more insignificant. It was just a matter of wind. When the movie is released, he might change his attitude and praise him again.

.

Seeing that Chen Jingxing's expression and tone seemed to really not care, Yan Xiaoyue felt relieved and said in a somewhat retrospective tone: "It was also my dream to film a film directed by Wang Molin. I didn't expect that now I would be directed by Wang Molin."

The target of criticism, sometimes it’s really amazing.”

For example, in the first part of "The Matrix", the background of the last savior's rescue of the captain who was captured and tortured by his pursuers was chosen by Chen Jingxing to be the famous Jin Mao Tower in Shanghai. A helicopter descended from the sky, approached the glass curtain wall, and staged a high-altitude rescue. This kind of scene

It will definitely be a famous scene in Chinese movies in the future.

Therefore, the filming schedule is very tight, which is why Chen Jingxing came very early. He strives to finish the filming as soon as possible so that he can return to the exclusive DreamWorks Studio No. 1 at the National Film Digital Base in the suburbs of Beijing to shoot other plots.

This filming also attracted a large number of citizens and tourists, and even fans of Chen Jingxing who came specially to watch outside the blockade.

Several of Chen Jingxing's previous works were either shot behind closed doors or in a studio. This was the first time that they were shot in a downtown area.

The first scene of "The Matrix" became a hot topic among the various photos and videos uploaded by fans on the Internet, and it also suppressed the quarrel between fans and blackmailers about Chen Jingxing for a while.
