February 25, sunny.

In Pengcheng Zhao's Film Special Effects Base, a huge base with a large yard, Zhao Donghuai stood on the edge of the yard, looking at the helicopters, cars, etc. in front of him, using a wire-hung style to hang a Diplodocus model to run and escape.

Demonstrate cooperation multiple times.

Diplodocus's escape went from being a little unfamiliar at first to becoming proficient, and running gradually became much more natural.

Zhao Donghuai directly applauded and praised, "Although the team stopped after the Jurassic series was completed, we picked it up again now and got started quickly. It was beautifully done."

If you want to shoot (2005 version of King Kong), it is actually not difficult to make a special effects model of King Kong. After all, Zhao Donghuai bought the remake rights as early as the 1980s.

In 1993, he started work here, including not only the King Kong model, but also various miniature models of the dangerous terrain of Skull Island, scenery, etc., just like the 2005 version of various artificial leaves, vines, miniature plants and miniature trees.

miniature rainforest.

This is a kind of pre-production. Whether you use it and whether you have it are two different things.

When he issued the order, he did not determine when to start the shooting plan. If he had an idea this year, he would use it.

However, in the entire (King Kong) movie, Skull Island displays various dinosaur ecology, and King Kong fights the Tyrannosaurus Rex, which is also a very important scene.

Just like the human protagonist group saw a large group of diplodocus for the first time, and then the diplodocus group was hunted by a group of velociraptors, and escaped in the canyon... the human protagonist group was also forced to flee for their lives. In that scene, the original 2005 version had full CG special effects

Make.

If you re-examine the dinosaur stampede event with the eyes of 2022, you will find that the level of special effects in that episode is quite different from King Kong vs. Three Tyrannosaurus Rex.

The poor quality of the former is clearer.

Zhao Donghuai's place here is a real-life car, helicopter, and wire aerial vehicle. He controls a Velociraptor model to act out a hunting chase. It is naturally difficult to coordinate and achieve a direct running of a group, but one versus one.

Only one-on-one is simulated at a time.

Add a few more different sets of running and hunting shots, and then use computer technology CG to create a group of dragons hunting groups of dragons, and integrate them with the human protagonist group's individual running and escape... and then integrate the background of the Desperate Canyon model into it, and it will be

It seems more real and clear.

The veteran special effects technicians who have filmed the Jurassic Trilogy, even though they have been unfamiliar with the business for a few years, their basic skills are there. They have practiced countless times in the trilogy, and their efficiency in returning to work is also good.

The next moment, he smiled and said to Zhu Jiaxin, "Let's transport all the props and models to Zhoushan. We have to assemble the huge rainforest base as well."

The deputy director and assistants selected a group of islands suitable for filming in Zhoushan, and Zhao Donghuai finally established three scenic areas, but they also needed to be transformed.

The original island ecology and the artificial tropical rainforest model can be transformed and rearranged to become a suitable huge photography studio.

As for why the filming was not done on Lantau Island, I can only say that Lantau Island does not have the kind of realistic backgrounds with mountains, steep peaks and various grand canyons... Most of the movies are shot in studios, but the mountain backgrounds must also be shot carefully, and then in

Later, it was integrated into CG to create a perfect background.

When Zhao Donghuai returned to ATV headquarters, he saw Winona Ryder waiting in the waiting area with a document bag. Seeing him, Winona immediately stood up and said, "Boss, I have a suggestion for the King Kong movie.

.”

Director Zhao was surprised and said, "Okay, come in and talk."

Sitting in the office after a while, Winona directly pulled out the file, which was the storyboard of Titanic. "Boss, this version of the big ship love story you wrote looks very classic, although there has been no shooting plan."

"However, the heroine I played in (King Kong) was filmed by Director Carl on various beauties and beautiful scenery on the boat... As for the human male protagonist, how about using the love story of Jack and Roux hugging each other on the bow of the boat, flying in the wind?

Lens?"

Zhao Donghuai, "..."

Originally the heroine of 2005 (King Kong) was sailing on a large ship, although the ship they were traveling on was much smaller than the Titanic.

But there are indeed many shots that are similar to paying homage to the Titanic.

In this dimension, Zhao's Pictures has long stocked up on scripts and filed them. Lao Mo tried to buy them several times but was never approved... But people in the industry who are not far away from each other have read the scripts and even copied them, which is normal.

After a few seconds of silence, he nodded and said, "I might as well add this paragraph. It would also be nice to just write about hugs."

Movie fans have never been affected by the Titanic, so one person stands on the bow or stern of the ship with arms spread out as if embracing the ocean, and the other person stands behind and hugs her, as if showing a beautiful love scene?

In the setting of the 2005 version of King Kong, the heroine and the poor but talented playwright played by Zhao Donghuai have a lot of vague CP feelings while sailing on the ship.

When the two first met, the heroine admired the hero Jack very much. In the early days, the two just cared about each other without saying anything, and finally got together.

Upon seeing this, Winona immediately smiled sweetly and said, "But that kiss scene is also very classic?"

Director Zhao was speechless, "The kissing scene was not good. The love line in the early stages was restrained. The scene of them embracing the ocean was already large-scale."

Winona asked tentatively, "What about the finale?"

Zhao Donghuai was even more speechless, "Kim just died generously and kissed in the scene? Stop making trouble, it's good to just hug each other."

Winona stopped messing around and asked curiously, "Boss, what is the heroine's feeling for King Kong in the movie? Motherly love? I still felt a little confused after reading the split-shot script."

Zhao Donghuai thought for a while, "King Kong's mentality towards the heroine is similar to that of being extremely boring but very smart. He has a strong IQ and cannot communicate with the natives of Skull Island because the natives are too stupid to communicate with wild beasts. After meeting the heroine, he is quite

A powerful individual from the wild, coming into contact with a leader in intelligent civilization for the first time..."

"The reason he comes into contact with the heroine again and again is because of his admiration and protection for his orangutan mentor, and because he doesn't want to lose her and continue to fall into loneliness."

"The heroine was afraid of King Kong at first, and then after being saved by King Kong several times, she felt that he was like an ignorant child who needed to be taught and led to grow up. She wanted to protect him but was weak and powerless to show the theme of losing King Kong. Killing

Those who killed King Kong were the soldiers of the British, French, and island powers stationed in Shanghai in the 1930s."

The 2005 version of King Kong has various advantages, but its flaws are also obvious. After the filming, many people will feel that there is love between King Kong and the heroine after watching this version of King Kong...

This shortcoming is particularly prominent.

In fact, the connotation of King Kong cannot be taken in the direction of love. King Kong can be seen as a wise, overlord-level, super naughty kid. No one can communicate with him spiritually on Skull Island. When he meets the indigenous female protagonist, he sacrifices himself.

, after snatching away the heroine, he discovered that this woman seemed to be quite smart and could communicate with him and tell him what the concept of a civilized society was.

This gave rise to the mentality of meeting an orangutan mentor who leads the way.

But he was not a human being after all, so he was smuggled back to human society, and then the brutal powers killed him, a monster.

This connotation can be extended to the concept of humans killing nature and killing ethnic groups that do not belong to the human race. Otherwise, there would not be various endangered and extinct species around the world.

This is the use of lens language. The original scene of King Kong and the heroine sitting on the edge of a cliff watching the sunset is a bit deliberately directed towards the atmosphere of love.

In fact, all he needs is spiritual and emotional communication, and he doesn't want to be alone forever.

In the original work, Jack saved the heroine and ran away. In order to pursue the heroine, King Kong did not hesitate to slaughter the human natives of Skull Island. These plots should also be deleted... and changed to the heroine's civilized exchanges and guidance. He has changed.

Although I still cannot communicate with the indigenous people on the spiritual channel.

He also began to respect and protect them and no longer killed them at will.

When chasing the human protagonist group in a civilized society, they will deliberately avoid accidentally injuring the natives.

Was he angry at Jack, Carl and others for taking away his orangutan mentor, or was he taking it away without even saying hello?

The theme is King Kong, the overlord who dominates Skull Island, and comes into contact with human civilization. Some of them, such as the male and female protagonists, are fearful and friendly in contact. The other part is the evil villain, who is covered by the male director and the group of powerful powers stationed in Shanghai.

The devil dominates.

Winona nodded, "I understand, thank you boss."

Then she suggested, "In this case, in order to clearly describe the heroine's different feelings for Jack and King Kong, it would be better to change a scene? For example, Jack went to King Kong to secretly save the heroine, but was discovered by King Kong...

"

"Can she clearly tell King Kong that Jack is her boyfriend? King Kong is curious and ignorant. After all, there is no second King Kong on Skull Island? Instead of letting King Kong get angry and smash it as shown in the script? Is this easy for the audience to misunderstand King Kong's love?

Fucked the heroine?"

“A romantic movie that became Beauty and the Beast?”

The script Zhao Donghuai sent out this time follows the 2005 version of the split-shot narrative, with certain changes. For example, what he just said about avoiding accidentally hurting indigenous humans when chasing the heroine has been changed.

But some parts haven’t changed yet…

After hearing this, he thought for a while and then nodded, "You are right to say that. Anyway, there will be interference from the attack by a group of dog-headed bats and strange birds. Small changes will make the script more perfect."

Winona was excited, "Hey, to make King Kong clearly accept the concept of a boyfriend, is it normal to add a kiss scene? The heroine and Jack's kiss scene tells King Kong that Jack is her boyfriend, and Jack also begins to realize that King Kong is very smart.

The IQ is about the same as that of human children.”

"He was just a child king who was always lonely... As the two parties continued to communicate, he was captured by those strange birds. King Kong chased him to save people."

Zhao Donghuai, "..."

Winona walked over from the desk and said, "I am the heroine you have chosen. Boss, you can't back down from the battle, can you?"

"After making some minor changes, the human male and female protagonists are like spiritual and civilized mentors who want to save other than human beings as wise kings... who are then massacred by the big villains."

"I have made so many movies and TV shows before, but I have never done a kissing scene on the screen. Boss, you need to teach me more."

When she and Hong Xin were playing mahjong with the big boss, they chased each other backwards. Even in the Spider-Man series, she never had a kissing scene, let alone other series.

It's just that it was not a special situation before and I didn't have the opportunity to get in front of Zhao Donghuai. Now he is the leading actor and actress of the new big special effects movie, and Zhao Donghuai has always been famous for being amiable and amiable when he was the leading actor on the set.

She finally discovered that there was a good opportunity that she could seize.

……………………

A few hours later.

Wang Zuxian looked at Zhao Donghuai curiously, and pointed to the built-in suite for rest, "What's going on? There's another person in the family?"

Zhao Donghuai coughed awkwardly, "It's not very accurate, it looks like Adjani."
