China Entertainment King of Science Fiction

Chapter 321 Box office failure?

Xijiang, near Devil City.

"Huh...huh...ah...ah!"

Lei Jiayin was wearing a space suit, breathing rapidly in the mask and helmet, stood up tremblingly, and screamed and cried out in pain from time to time.

A huge 3D camera follows the paved track and surrounds Lei Jiayin 360 degrees.

"Cut!" Chen Jingxing, wearing a sun hat and sunglasses, held the guide tube and shouted: "Yes, this one passed!"

Lei Jiayin struggled to hold the entire helmet, pressed down, then took off the helmet, took a few deep breaths, and wiped the sweat from his hair and forehead, as if he had just finished a 10,000-meter long run.

In fact, in Lei Jiayin's opinion, it is really not inferior to the 10,000-meter long-distance running.

This scene is from "The Martian" where the male protagonist was injured in a Martian storm and fainted and was left behind on Mars. When he woke up the next day, his abdomen was deeply pierced by debris. The male protagonist struggled to get up and looked around the Martian environment and was affected by the wound.

The situation is moving towards the base step by step.

It seems simple, but this is a two-minute long shot, which comprehensively shows the whole picture of Mars after the storm, as well as the male protagonist's injury and tenacity. I have to say that after "Gravity", Chen Jingxing's long shot seems like

Some are addicted, and the end result is that they torture not only themselves, but also the actors, and even the rest of the crew.

Who makes Chen Jingxing not short of time and money? If it were not for the subject matter restrictions, the 350 million production cost of "The Martian" could be earned back through sponsors and advertising.

Fortunately, the drone does not have clairvoyance eyes, so it cannot see the potato-growing room in the huge scientific research station. Growing potatoes on Mars is an important plot that he decided to keep secret, which is a surprise experience for the audience.

Both the internal and external media knew that he was filming a movie, and they didn't dare to disturb him. After all, the media was afraid that Chen Jingxing would add him to the blacklist. He would film during the day, make a phone call to his parents and wife at night, and then, as if,

Looking at the starry sky without neon pollution in the semicircular "tent hotel" that is upside down on the ground, even the time to go to bed has been advanced.

"If you don't spit it out quickly, it's all stinking fish and rotten shrimps. Baby, please don't come out and scare people!"

Secondly, filming in this inhospitable place seems to be completely out of touch with the other Vanity Fair. He doesn't know what other people think. He really regards the filming period of "The Martian" here as a "paradise".

.

"Yesterday, my boyfriend and I watched two new movies in a row. Let me say a few words."

Chen Jingxing had to admire the perseverance of these paparazzi media. He originally thought that choosing the shooting location in this inhospitable place would allow the crew to enter a "paradise", but he did not expect that they would not be able to escape prying eyes, and even drones were used.

Because the actors of "The Martian" also include Lei Jiayin and Wu Yue, among whom Lei Jiayin is the male protagonist, while Wu Yue plays the commander of the "Zhurong" Mars spacecraft. In "Gravity", it is Lei Jiayin who rescues

Wu Yue, "The Martian" is just the opposite.

That's right, Chen Jingxing not only built a scientific research station in this sterile "Mars landscape", but also built three greenhouses to grow potatoes.

Whether people are curious about the so-called "sequel" of "Gravity" or "Gravity" inspired Chinese people's love for space and space movies, so they pay attention to "The Martian", in short, too many people are interested in this movie.

The filming of the movie aroused interest.

Lei Jiayin also came in wearing a space suit, and the two chatted casually about "Your Name", which was just released in theaters across the country yesterday.

Lin Yiyi is an ordinary sophomore and one of the fans of DreamWorks. However, if she is not a loyal fan, she has watched a lot of DreamWorks film and television works. It is good to have a little filter on DreamWorks.

degree.

This also shows that no actor, director or company brand has more appeal than the subject matter. The type of movie itself is the biggest driving force for audiences to enter the theater.

This is also a meme that can echo each other. DreamWorks has produced more movies now, and it is qualified to pay tribute to each other and echo each other in different works.

Chen Jingxing has now truly realized the charm of live-action shooting. To be honest, although the effect of "Gravity" is good, he really didn't feel that he was a director when filming. Legacy's chief visual effects artist is more like a director than he is. He is just a director.

Just a storyboard designer.

The opening box office of "Your Name" is a new low for DreamWorks in two years. The box office on the first day was only 12.36 million. Even considering that this is an original two-dimensional hand-drawn animated film that is not a major IP, it is still not as good as DreamWorks.

The factory's prestigious reputation contrasts sharply.

Listening to Lei Jiayin's sincere consolation, Chen Jingxing couldn't help but chuckle in his heart. He might have thought that he was in a bad mood because of "Your Name" and that's why he "tortured" so hard in the last scene. In fact, Chen Jingxing did not prepare for "Your Name".

Name" and cherish.

"...I read that the reputation of "Your Name" on the Internet is very good. The reputation of movies nowadays is also very important to the box office. Isn't "Mekong" a counterattack during the Spring Festival? Other movies I have seen have average reviews. "

"Your Name" will definitely be able to counterattack."

It is purely Chen Jingxing's reservation and exploration of more possibilities. The speed of the 3D camera moving on the track, Lei Jiayin's own breathing rhythm, etc., he tried to give the actors different feelings in each step. When it comes to editing,

Whenever possible, use whichever one is better.

The transportation here is quite inconvenient, there are no people inhabited for hundreds of miles, and there is only one road passing nearby.

Of course, this is not nonsense. In fact, the space trilogy planned by Chen Jingxing may have slightly different tone and style, and the story themes are different, but they are all set in the same world view, although this is actually not very important.

Many practical effects.

"What kind of bad movie is "I'm Waiting for You in Memories"? I pulled my boyfriend out of the movie halfway through the movie!"

"Valentine's Day Sleep Report... Don't think wrongly, I really fell asleep in the theater."

While Chen Jingxing was filming in the Buddhist Department of Xijiang, the summer box office war was still in full swing.

The consequence is that "The Martian" has received unprecedented attention, and it is no longer the official promotion at the previous press conference. At that time, the image of "The Martian" in public opinion was that of a gift film that cooperated deeply with the aerospace department.

The temperature in early August was still very high, especially the ultraviolet rays here were very strong. Chen Jingxing hid in the "Mars Scientific Research Station" he had set up during a break in filming, preparing to see the condition of the potatoes he planted.

It happened to be the weekend, and I was lying on the bed in my dormitory watching a sweet drama on Penguin Video. I continued to watch until 12 noon. After catching up on the two episodes that had just been updated, I still had pink bubbles in my heart. I still felt unfinished.

She logged into a certain gossip film and television forum, intending to search for one or two more dramas of the same type from cute netizens to satisfy her desire to fall in love.

Chen Jingxing looked up at the drone hovering in the sky, with a look of displeasure and helplessness on his face.

Of course, this is also related to the fierce competition in the Chinese Valentine's Day festival. There are three new films released in the same period. These films are not only aimed at Valentine's Day, but also mainly want to make a difference in the second half of the summer season in August, so they all choose to maximize profits.

time.

This is where the drones in the sky come from.

Only in this real-life shooting can he regain the director's sense of control.

However, Chen Jingxing really doesn’t pay much attention to it. On the one hand, the summer season is not a “short-term campaign”. Unlike the National Day season and the Spring Festival season, there is room for word-of-mouth fermentation and long-term development.

"Take a good rest!" Chen Jingxing stepped forward and patted Lei Jiayin's shoulder, then turned to the crew and shouted: "Take a rest for an hour! Brother Wang, find out who launched the drone in the sky."

Lei Jiayin's scene was filmed for more than a dozen times. Of course, this does not mean that Lei Jiayin's performance is not good. As a good method actor, there are no "difficult" scenes in "The Martian" that can stump him.

, and this film itself does not have any high-level requirements for performances, and it is not intended to participate in the Cannes Film Festival for awards.

…

His whole person seems to have become Buddhist-like, and he can't have much negative emotions about the "box office failure" of "Your Name". Of course, it is only during this filming period, his DreamWorks and his dreams

Still in that Vanity Fair.

"Gravity" has achieved unprecedented success at home and abroad. The current global box office has exceeded 780 million U.S. dollars. The box office in China alone has been close to 400 million U.S. dollars. It currently ranks No. 1 in the global box office rankings in 2016.

Four people, and this is not the limit.

Now "The Martian" has gained more attention from a commercial perspective, not only from the media, but also from netizens.

Ha, it turns out it's the Chinese Valentine's Day period... The single guy who had always avoided receiving similar information was hit hard without warning.

In the eyes of others, he does have reasons to be unhappy.

"Qixi Festival movie viewing experience report..."

Naturally, Chen Jingxing didn't want to be secretly photographed by the media, even if it was just a photo taken during the shooting, but to think that someone is willing to go to such great lengths to secretly photograph the set of "The Martian" means that the news written will definitely be read by many viewers.

It made him feel strangely comforted.

In the outside world, there is even talk that "The Martian" is the sequel to "Gravity".

Lei Jiayin may have felt that Chen Jingxing was in a bad mood due to the box office performance of "Your Name", so he spoke out to comfort him.

As soon as she entered the home page, she was flooded with various movie reviews, which made her a little strange. She glanced at it and found that they were all talking about several movies released yesterday. Was yesterday a collective movie release day?

"Seeing that everyone is complaining about actresses, I don't accept it. Is wtx invisible?"

"Y1S1, "Memories" is actually quite romantic. When wtx forcefully kissed lff, my first kiss was gone and my boyfriend was shocked."

"Some people are a little too shady. Wu Tingxuan has obviously made great progress this time."

Lin Yiyi sneered in her heart, are these coquettish bitches here to express their feelings or show their affection?

Until I saw a message that said, "Report on single dogs eating dog food! Chinese people don't lie to Chinese people! "Your Name" is so sweet!"
