Chapter 840
(200 monthly tickets are available for additional updates, please continue to ask for recommendation tickets and monthly tickets~)
The headquarters building of CCTV, commonly known as CCTV shorts, includes office buildings, TV cultural centers, service buildings, celebration squares, etc.
Lin Han was wearing sunglasses and following the staff of the movie channel to take the elevator upstairs. Compared with the huge show of other celebrities like family members, he seemed too low-key.
He looked like an ordinary passerby, with only Xie Xin, an assistant next to him, and there was no one else.
In the crowded CCTV building, these employees looked at Lin Han curiously, and then started whispering.
"Isn't that Lin Han? Why did he come to Taiwan?"
"It seems like I'm going to go to the movie channel to record some program. I saw Xiao Zhao from the movie channel talking to him."
The two staff members with badges did not go over to sign or take a photo, but just looked at Lin Han's back and muttered, "That's right. Now the Matrix 2 wants to break the box office record of Fast and Furious 8? Lin Han has to come over to promote it."
"Speaking of this, have you watched "The Matrix 2"? My husband kept yelling to watch it, but unfortunately he always worked overtime."
"Where is the time!"
The woman in her thirties began to complain, "Our new column is about to start broadcasting, but the leader was very dissatisfied after watching the first two episodes. Not to mention watching movies now, it is lucky to be able to go home before 11 o'clock every night."
"Oh, let me see if I have time tonight. Working overtime every day will almost turn me old and dirty. I have to relax and relax!"
...
Lin Han didn't have the wind to hear the whispers in the distance. He had taken off his sunglasses and said to Xie Xin next to him: "I don't know if I have time to record today. I haven't recorded the show for a long time."
Xie Xin carried her backpack and replied: "It must be too late. Today, the movie channel will replay "The Matrix" in prime time in the evening. It just so happens that your program is on the scene of this show. The effect of 1+1 must be greater than 2!"
At present, "The Matrix 2: Reloading" has such a good box office reputation, and it is the most popular movie in the world. Of course, the CCTV6 Movie Channel also wants to take this opportunity to increase the ratings.
They happened to have purchased the TV broadcast rights of "The Matrix" before. Although they have to pay separately for each broadcast, the money is worth it!
For Galaxy Pictures, the movie channel's replay of "The Matrix" is also beneficial and harmless. This can not only cultivate audiences of "The Matrix 2", but also let many people who have not been exposed to the Internet know that the sequel has been released, so hurry up and go to the cinema to watch the show!
Xiao Zhao looks a little reserved. He has received many celebrities before, but no one has as many fans as Lin Han. He whispered: "Teacher Lin, our expected recording plan today is two hours. If there is any excess, please forgive me."
"It's okay, I'm also a director, and I know that shooting these things doesn't always follow the schedule."
Lin Han is suitable for film channel to record the "Light and Movie Star Podcast". This program invites current hot topics and the most popular characters every week, and combines the stars' recent promotional focus and the characteristics of the movie channel to introduce and recommend the key videos of the week to the audience.
It is a great thing to introduce "The Matrix" with Lin Han. By the way, you can also mix some private goods and recommend the sequel to the audience to "The Matrix"!
"Welcome!"
A bald middle-aged man came up enthusiastically. He introduced himself and said, "I have contacted Xiaolin so many times, and finally I have the opportunity to cooperate. I am Han Feng, the producer of the Light and Movie Star Podcast."
"Hello, Director Han, I'll trouble you today!"
Lin Han shook hands with him, his attitude was neither humble nor arrogant.
Originally, the program of this kind had to be decided in advance, but because Lin Han was so famous and popular, Galaxy Pictures helped him contact the movie channel and the two hit it off!
Today was originally another star who had already recorded the show, so Lin Han came to the line and asked the previous person to postpone the episode.
For the movie channel, Lin Han is obviously more topical as a guest of "Light and Movie Star Podcast" and can drive the ratings of the entire channel.
"Time is tight. Kobayashi, please start putting on makeup and changing clothes first. You are ready for speeches, right?"
Lin Han smiled and said, "Do not worry, Director Han, I have a curse. Let's talk about the stories behind the scenes of the Matrix. These should be enough. I also brought some behind-the-scenes videos that have never been exposed. You can find some of them available for editing or promotion!"
Xie Xin, who was on the other hand, immediately took out the prepared USB flash drive from her backpack. These were all the behind-the-scenes filmed by the crew last year.
Galaxy Pictures was not available, and it was not suitable to include in the behind-the-scenes of DVD and Blu-ray discs, so it was used by waste and handed over to the movie channel.
Han Feng was as if he had a treasure. He quickly took the U disk in his palm, "This thing is good. I will immediately give up my old face and ask the boss for a few advertising spaces. I will first call the trailer!"
"You can go and be busy."
In the dressing room, a female makeup artist has already started to highlight Lin Han’s face. Since she is going to take a photo of videos, she can easily make her face look dark and yellow without makeup.
Even if Lin Han doesn’t pay attention to his image, he still needs to pay attention to the movie channel!
After changing into jeans and white shirt, Lin Han walked into the studio and he felt a little bit Smithy.
There are many celebrities coming to "The Light and Movie Star Podcast", which is considered the ace column of the movie channel, but what's going on in front of you?
The whole room was covered with green curtains, and the empty green curtain was left!
It seems that saving costs is not so much. When Lin Han cuts pictures around him and makes some inferior pictures, Lin Han's heart is crying.
"Hello, everyone, I am Lin Han, the light and movie star podcast this week! The two movies I want to recommend to you this week are "The Matrix 1" and "The Matrix 2"..."
Although Lin Han does not have any talent for actors, it is still difficult for him to tell stories alone like this. He has goods in his stomach and speaks much more fluently.
Anyway, there is only a camera in front of you, and it tells the story of the real thing. Lin Han did not do any exaggerated costs. The director himself said that the authenticity was much higher!
"Perhaps some viewers know that our Matrix series was filmed in one go. The combined shooting budget of the three movies was only 100 million yuan, and post-production was an additional investment. So we had to compress all the workloads, but the workload was very huge. When we were on the most salary list, we had 300 full-time staff."
In order to realize the creativity of the entire movie, dozens of people in the art department alone are working for production designers. The creativity of the entire movie requires more than 200 sets of sets. Some sets only take one or two days, and may only appear in the movie for five seconds, or they will not appear at all.
If you have watched "The Matrix 2", you will know that one of the plots is an amazing highway car chase scene. The set of this plot is almost as difficult as shooting!
Although there are ready-made abandoned highways to be used, Lin Han and his crew still built a six-meter-high wall and two crossing overpasses.
"To make the wall, our art director coordinated with the architect for a long time, and finally pulled a cart of wood and plywood, then applied plaster to make them look like cement buildings. They had to be weather-resistant and nailed together, and we probably used 100 people to build this wall on the highway."
Why is the production funding used quickly?
Because of these meticulous aspects, even if the post-production can be completed, there will still be a false feeling, and the on-site construction is more authentic and credible!
"When the filming of this scene ended, the removed wooden boards and plywood stretched for a kilometer or two."
There is such a shocking scene in the U disk that Lin Han gave to Han Feng. The crew created such a huge behind-the-scenes project for a plot!
Even if Lin Han has the original version of the movie in his head, it is not easy to shoot it.
Strictly speaking, Lin Han is the director, and the Wachowski brothers are the screenwriters. This movie is basically Lin Han’s original directorial work!
“It is worth mentioning that instead of breaking the materials, we transported the wood to the local area to build houses for 100 low-income families.”
Lin Han could hardly stop saying this. He wanted the audience to know that the movie was not enough with those actors, but it required the joint efforts of many film workers.
Just like the fashion designer, the fashion designer hired by the crew is Bai Rui, a famous figure in the industry. He joined the Matrix crew without even receiving any penny!
Because the sponsor of the crew's clothing is Armani, a designer from a big-name clothing like Armani and Bai Rui designed hundreds of sets of clothes. These clothes must not only conform to the development of the characters, but also maintain the coherence between the trilogies.
Even the shoes of these actors and stunt actors are specially customized. If there is no sponsor, the crew's expenses will definitely be several times more!
"There is a scene that depicts the 100 clones of Neo, played by Chu Guang, and Agent Smith played by Xu Jiayan. Our martial arts designers have to design 100 different martial arts tricks, which is like a fight between one person and 100 Arhats in Shaolin Temple."
Lin Han spread his hands and couldn't help but praise him, "I'm very glad that we have the best martial arts designers and actors. Before the filming officially started, we trained these actors for several months to teach them basic fist skills, and had at least seven hours a day to practice martial arts, so that they didn't look like flirting. No matter which actor was, they didn't complain, and even practiced more. I probably couldn't bear the pain myself."
Immediately afterwards, he added: "If you want to see these wonderful scenes, don't miss "The Matrix 2: Reloading"!"
Chapter completed!
