Superstars In Parallel Time and Space

Chapter 956 How can it be so fast?

In any case, everyone's expectations for this movie are very high.

Not only is it an explanation to fans who like them, but it is also very confident in the box office.

From their point of view, this is the first work that everyone gathers, the box office will definitely not be bad, there will be no shortage of topics and popularity, and it may become the annual box office champion!

The previous "Iron Man 2" grossed 1.5 billion US dollars at the global box office. This time everyone gathers, the box office will definitely be even higher!

Moreover, according to Chen Mubai's description of them and the content of the plot, the special effects of this movie are more refined, the scenes are grand, and the battle scenes will be more intense than all other superheroes, which can definitely meet the expectations of the audience.

"Next time you come to England to play, you must remember to ask me, and I will arrange for you." Chris, Qian Duoduo and others said.

"No problem!" Qian Duoduo nodded.

"Director Chen, let's go first then." After Chris and Qian Duoduo and his party finished talking, they found Chen Mubai to say goodbye.

During these two months of getting along, they really noticed the difference between Chen Mubai and other directors. It may be because of his age. He is not as irritable as other directors. He is also very peaceful and a good talker.

But I am very serious when I am working, and I often try my best to find that shot because of a desired effect, and I can even shoot that scene for half a day or a day, and I am very strict about the quality.

At work, he is still relatively strict, but he doesn't get angry at will, unlike some directors who lose his temper at every turn, and he is particularly good at directing actors, and his filming efficiency is very high. As long as the actors can show what they want attitude will do.

Sometimes, actors have their own understanding of the role and hope to perform it in their own way. At this time, it conflicts with the state Chen Mubai wants, and then there will be differences.

Often after the two shots are shot, Chen Mubai hopes to have a better effect, which also makes everyone admire him even more invisibly.

However, if Chen Mubai feels that the actor's own performance is better, he will change his mind and not be authoritarian.

Although there were differences in the filming process, there was no unhappiness. The main reason is that Chen Mubai is too famous. Even if they are international first-line stars, they are far from him. Everyone is a little afraid of him. When facing him, do everything possible. I will restrain my arrogance.

Chen Mubai is not a difficult person to talk to. The ultimate goal of both parties is to make this movie well, so there is no essential conflict, and naturally there will be no unhappiness.

It was also because of his status, although Chen Mubai was easy to talk to, Chris and the others were still a little intimidated by his majesty, so they were more comfortable getting along with Qian Duoduo and other Chinese stars, and had more ordinary exchanges.

This is the reason why he invited Qian Duoduo to play in England just now.

They went out to eat delicious food together during filming, and Qian Duoduo, the host, naturally acted as a tour guide.

After Chris and the others left Huaxia, what they wanted the most was Chinese food. During this period of time, they basically didn't eat much heavy food. No matter which cuisine they were, they were very delicious, which made them nostalgic.

Parker, who left first, also had some regrets. He didn't stay long without filming and left Huaxia. He didn't eat much.

Chris knew what he was thinking, and would often deliberately find Parker videos while eating food, and then show him what they were eating, making Parker salivate.

"Go, I will come to you again if there is any problem." Chen Mubai nodded.

At present, their scenes have been filmed, and later we will see if there is any need for re-shooting or dubbing. After all, the effects of on-site shooting are sometimes not so ideal, so re-shooting is required.

If there are no problems in this area, it is considered that the work has been completed, and you only need to wait for the film to follow the crew to promote it when it is about to be released in the future.

"Okay, I'm ready to come to China at any time, and I will definitely prioritize this movie in my itinerary." Chris replied with a smile.

"Is it too late?" Lu Fang asked worriedly.

"And, can it work?"

Just after the filming of "The Avengers" was completed, Chen Mubai approached him to discuss the release date with him.

Chen Mubai hopes that this movie will be released during the Spring Festival, but it is basically impossible to complete it. You must know that it is already August, and the Chinese New Year is only half a year away. If it is full and half a year, how much time is there?

It takes more than half a year, or even a year, for the post-production time of this kind of special effects film to lay the groundwork.

There are a lot of special effects shots in this movie. After all, several heroes appear on the scene at the same time. Whether it is Thor’s lightning or Iron Man’s armor flying, special effects are needed. Not every hero uses fists and kicks like Captain Huaxia, which can reduce special effects scene.

When these heroes gather together, the production cost of the movie will go up a lot, because of the special effects, all the money is piled up.

Now it's not just a matter of spending money on special effects, but also wanting to complete all the post-production in half a year, including reshoots, dubbing, editing, special effects, and a series of things. It may not be possible to do it!

"I estimated it carefully, and it can be completed roughly in terms of time, but the requirements are a bit harsh." Chen Mubai replied seriously.

"How?" Lu Fang frowned.

If there is a solution, that is the best, and he is willing to try it.

Chen Mubai began to analyze: "When this movie was filmed, I had already thought about the release, so I made special effects while shooting, and at the same time, I sent some shots to post-production, just to buy some time. .”

Lu Fang nodded and said: "I know this, but the work is too huge. Even if some special effects are done in advance, it should be a drop in the bucket compared with the whole film, right?"

"Almost, but the reason why I send some shots for special effects is to see the approximate completion time and the special effects I want." Chen Mubai said:

"At present, the speed is not bad. If you want to catch up with the progress, you need to give up the special effects of all other works, and the entire special effects department must make way for this movie. In this way, there is a slight possibility of completion in time. "

This is just Chen Mubai's estimate, and it is not certain that all the special effects shots will be completed before the Chinese New Year.

"Is there a chance?" Lu Fang asked.

"have."

"Then try it." Lu Fang said with a firm heart.

"I'll go and say hello later. From now on, the company's special effects department will concentrate on producing the special effects of "The Avengers." , focusing on matters related to The Avengers."

The special effects department of Mubai Entertainment has become famous since the filming of "Iron Man". It is very famous in the industry in China, and now it is even famous in the international arena.

Therefore, in addition to producing special effects for the works that the company participates in investment and production, they will also undertake special effects tasks from other companies. company to do the rest.

The movement was not small, but it was worth it to Lu Fang.

First of all, the "Avengers" project is indeed very important and has attracted worldwide attention. This movie can also be regarded as the end of the first phase of the superhero universe and the opening of the second phase. It is of great strategic significance and at the same time extends the cooperation of hero groups importance.

Whether they or the audience are looking forward to this work, the popularity and topicality have not been less since the film was born. Many people think that this film should guarantee a box office of 1 billion US dollars.

This is a prediction based on the performance of other hero movies. Of course, there is another possibility, that is, there are too many heroes, too many scenes, the effect is not good, and the movie will fall, but the box office performance will not be too bad. Use gimmicks to pay the bill.

However, if the quality of the movie is bad, this is a one-shot, and audiences will not pay for subsequent works, and will only choose single-player hero movies.

After all, it is enough to be fooled once, and it is impossible to be fooled twice.

"However, only you can do such a crazy thing."

"This time, let's go crazy together again."

After confirming the plan, Lu Fang looked at Chen Mubai and sighed.

Whether it is post-production while filming, or this "crazy behavior" this time, it is not something ordinary people can do!

Don't even think about it!

Because no director can be sure that the post-production of the film will start after the film is not completely shot, and there will be no post-production while filming.

Not to mention, special effects have to be made!

Because it is uncertain whether the shots will be deleted, and the effect is not necessarily good, various reasons limit this method.

Although this kind of processing can indeed speed up the post-production time of the work, there is also a huge hidden danger, that is, the quality problem is difficult to guarantee. After all, not every director can be sure that the shots sent to the post-production are clips that he can definitely keep.

Chen Mubai was the only one who did this, he seemed to know what the full shot would look like, as if those pictures had surfaced in his mind.

"I think the whole company will be shocked by your decision." Chen Mubai teased with a smile.

Lu Fang looked at Chen Mubai helplessly: "This is not your request, but they will also know that you must have proposed this matter, so everyone will think it is crazy, but there will also be a kind of mysterious trust that it can be done. "

Chen Mubai is like a myth in Mubai Entertainment. The many deeds he has done along the way are too appalling, and he has succeeded every time, which makes him a myth in everyone's hearts.

No matter how difficult it is, if Chen Mubai does it, everyone will have a trust. This is the impression he gave everyone.

"I'm going to make arrangements in advance. The company has a lot of works, but not many really need special effects, which can be regarded as saving a lot of trouble." Lu Fang laughed.

Mubai Entertainment has participated in the production and investment of many works, but many of them are still in the shooting stage and have not yet used post-production special effects. The other part of the works are normal films with few special effects shots, similar to "Chain Saw". These works are all drama-based films.

When Lu Fang announced this incident, it did cause a lot of turmoil in the company, and everyone was surprised by Chen Mubai's "crazy".

Although Tao Yaoyao and others were also a little surprised, they had already sent some shots back to the company for post-production when Chen Mubai was filming, and they were actually mentally prepared.

It's just a guess. After things really happen, they will still be shocked.

Everyone asked Chen Mubai's thoughts one after another, and he told them all, including the reasons.

"By the way, this year's Spring Festival file seems to have no works from Mubai Entertainment?"

"Yeah, they have a lot fewer works this year."

"It may be because the first half of the year was too ruthless. An "Iron Man 2" and "Spider-Man" are too fierce. This kind of film production is time-consuming, which is understandable."

"Yeah, I'm already looking forward to the second movie of the rest of the superheroes~"

"By the way, it seems that the filming of "The Avengers" is over. I don't know when it will be released. I want to see the scene of them gathering~"

"I guess this movie will be released on National Day next year. After all, such a sci-fi blockbuster will definitely have a lot of special effects shots, and it will take time to do it slowly."

"Indeed, the post-production of this kind of movie is normal for more than a year, and it's hard for us audiences who are waiting~"

There is still more than a month until the Chinese New Year, but as the end of the year approaches, the atmosphere on the Internet is also cheerful, and everyone begins to look forward to the arrival of the festival.

Since Mubai Entertainment has been fully engaged in the work of "The Avengers", their production output in the second half of the year has decreased a lot.

However, some of the works that have been scheduled for a long time have been screened, and the results are not bad.

Not every work can have the popularity and influence of the superhero IP, and the box office is much worse, but it is still profitable.

Superhero works such as "Spider-Man 2" and "Captain Huaxia 2" are all being filmed. Thanks to the cooperation with Solomon, the multi-line strategy does not affect efficiency at all.

If all these works are produced by Mubai Entertainment, I am afraid that there will not be so many fronts, and it will also affect the production plans of other works within the company.

Netizens never thought that "The Avengers" would be released during the Spring Festival. After all, time did not allow them, and they did not know about Chen Mubai's crazy behavior.

At this time, basically all the movies that will be released during the Spring Festival have already started huge promotional activities. Mubai Entertainment has not made any movement yet. Obviously, there will be no productions in this period this year.

night.

Mubai Entertainment suddenly made a move and released a trailer titled Battle of Heroes.

This also made everyone confused. They didn't know what kind of hero movie this was. There was no news before.

However, because of the company's reputation, this trailer instantly attracted everyone's attention, and everyone watched and discussed it one after another.

The trailer is The Avengers!

In this trailer, each hero has a separate appearance scene, and then there are scenes of several people fighting together, as well as a picture of a huge submarine flying in the sky and being blasted.

In the end, a gigantic iron dragon soared over the Oriental Pearl Tower in the Demon City, and then several members of the Avengers team stood together, forming a circle to deal with enemies from all directions.

When netizens saw the trailer was "The Avengers", they were all stunned.

"Is this movie released on New Year's Day?"

"How long has it been in production? It's only been half a year, plus the shooting time."

"Is this fake news, but this account is the official WeChat account of Mubai Entertainment!!!"

Many netizens couldn't believe it, and then flooded into the official WeChat account to inquire about the authenticity of the news. After getting an affirmative answer, everyone went crazy!

"Damn it, it's true!"

"This movie will really be released during the Spring Festival this year!"

"Too awesome!"

"how did you do that?"

"No matter what, this movie must be watched, it's so handsome!"

"I've always been curious about who has the stronger combat power. From the trailer, they have battle scenes, which must be very exciting~"

Netizens were extremely shocked, but people in the industry were also shocked.

They are not ignorant, they have already noticed this information when Mubai Entertainment stopped all special effects projects half a year ago, and even pushed them to outside companies for production.

At that time, I thought that I was going all out to make the special effects of "The Avengers". Maybe it was because the task of special effects was too heavy, so I did this.

But no one expected that Mubai Entertainment would release "The Avengers" during the Spring Festival!

This is too exaggerated, and the time is too late!

No one really thought of this. After Mubai Entertainment announced it, everyone in the industry and outside the industry were shocked.

The international entertainment news was soon slaughtered by this incident, and fans all over the world were overwhelmed by the speed of Mubai Entertainment.

【How did they do that? 】

This is everyone's question, and many media are also very puzzled. Everyone flocks to Mubai Entertainment, hoping to get this information.

Then, Chen Mubai accepted the interview publicly and talked about his own method.

Everyone was silent, fans and netizens were fine, they only thought Chen Mubai was too crazy, and also thought he was awesome.

But in the industry, what Chen Mubai said was like an earthquake, causing their hearts to be violently shocked.

No one would dare to do that!

Perhaps, only Chen Mubai would do this!

After knowing this "miracle", no one dared to do it, it was simply a "suicidal" behavior.

Doing post-production while shooting, and doing special effects shots in advance, each of which sounds appalling, but Chen Mubai did it all, which is why the movie was released so quickly.

I have no other thoughts except admiration.

Even though the movie hadn't been advertised before, after Chen Mubai was interviewed, the movie quickly became the most popular movie, bar none!

"It was finally finished before the deadline." Lu Fang felt a little unbelievable.

"Yes." Chen Mubai said: "Let's see how much box office we can make this time."

The Spring Festival is the most popular time in China, and the box office is naturally the highest. Coupled with the international popularity and fans of the work, if the quality of this movie is not a problem, it will definitely become the one with the highest box office among all hero movies!

On the first day of the film's release, it was still crowded with people.

The film once again broke a series of records, including the film's pre-sale box office and first-day box office results.

Records at home and abroad have been refreshed. "Titanic" was not so popular when it was first released. Except for the box office in North America after a few days of silence, the European side was postponed for several months. No. 1 at the global box office.

In terms of the box office data on the first day of the movie alone, "The Avengers" is much better than "Titanic", and "Titanic" is not even as good as the data of "Spiderman", but the final box office of this movie is too scary .

"Seeing the logo of Mubai Entertainment, I was faintly excited."

"Yeah, me too!"

"I really didn't expect that when I saw their logo for the first time, I went to check the relevant meaning, and now they have done it!"

"It's really awesome. It not only opened the door to domestic sci-fi movies, but also brought the superhero series to the world. It is very popular internationally. It's amazing."

The audience sitting in the movie hall looked at the logo of Mubai Entertainment on the big screen, and thoughts arose in their hearts.

Too late to feel too many emotions, the movie started.

The first is the character who appeared in "Thor", Sol's younger brother, Loki.

After he was defeated by Thor, he found the cooperation of the people in the universe for revenge, and they decided to invade the earth.

He snatched the Rubik's Cube from Nick's hands, while also controlling two of his minions.

Because of this crisis and the opponent's declaration of war, Nick began to fight back against the opponent, and at the same time began to call all superheroes.

Everyone is in a different part of the world, and everyone comes into contact with them.

The most interesting thing is Downey, flying wantonly in the sky, full of sense of technology.

The point is, in order to get along with Pei Bo, he refused to answer the call from S.H.I.E.L.D., which made everyone burst into laughter.

It really fits his style, always so mischievous.

After everyone knew the seriousness of the matter, they started looking for Loki.

Captain Huaxia and Iron Man dealt with Loki together and tied him back.

This is also the first time the two met.

As a result, Thor made his debut.

After Thor knocked Downey flying with a hammer, he took Loki off the plane.

Downey and Roger don't like each other, and it's already shown here, he keeps teasing Roger.

Especially when he said that the other party was a popsicle, the audience laughed out loud.

Being frozen for a century, this metaphor is indeed vivid.

Thor and Iron Man fought for a while, but the two couldn't decide the winner. Captain Huaxia appeared to stop them from continuing to fight.

It's so funny that Thor's thunder and lightning can charge Iron Man. Everyone was surprised when they saw it.

But in theory, there is nothing wrong with it, after all, lightning is also a kind of energy.

Sure enough, the fight in the trailer is just a gimmick, and they are not fighting for life and death, and there is no way to tell the winner.

But from here, we can see that Downey and Captain Huaxia are not weak in combat power, they can fight against Sol, and Sol is like a reckless man. Just do it without thinking

To put it simply, he has no IQ and is a bit stupid.

The difference in personality between Downey and Roger is also revealed. The two people have completely opposite personalities. One is very serious and serious, while the other likes to joke and tease, and play disrespectfully. This is the reason why they don't like each other.

When everyone was called, they went to the huge airship in the sky.

The picture about the launch of the airship made the audience amazed.

"This technology is too good."

"I don't know if such a powerful airship will appear in reality one day."

"Sci-fi movies are amazing, and you can always see all kinds of imaginative and unconstrained weapons."

"It's amazing. The SHIELD organization is also awesome. It deserves to be a department of the United Nations Organization."

"A handsome match!"
