Chapter 125 Disaster special effects blockbuster
"Two Big Smoke Bowls" was a bit unstoppable to be released in China, but it is still possible to observe it in the industry as a teaching film. Not only did it watch it, Cang Yaozu also explained to them what a multi-linear structure is, what a black humor is, what a comedy is, what a tragedy is, and what a rational absurdity is.
Not only did Cang Yaozu also told them how to deconstruct the film, how to draw the lines of the movie through mind maps, and also talk about the rhythm of the movie. It is also a bit of a drunkenness to draw a mind map when watching a movie.
Mixed with experiences in the past life and exchanges with Gairich in this life, after this preaching, everyone who listened to the lecture felt that they were even more professor than Yan Ying's professor. They were worthy of being Yan Ying's vice principal. Zhao Wei wanted to tell Principal Gu and asked her to invite Cang Yaozu back to give a lecture.
Cang Yaozu is indeed not a director or performer, but his current experience, his viewing, and especially the observation and influence of films in previous lives have given him a high vision, and some creative ideas and analysis methods combined with computers make him unique.
Next, Cang Yaozu began to analyze the tributes and breakthroughs to "Two Big Smoke Guns" in the script of "Crazy Stone", how to reflect the cultural core of China, the setting of language style, the image creation of characters, etc.
Finally, there was encouragement to Ning Hao. Speaking of encouragement, Cang Yao's ancestor told the inspirational story of Galich. Galich suffered from dyslexia and did not learn to read and write until he was 13 years old. He had a high school diploma and had never received any professional director training. All talents were learned directly at work. He also started to enter the film circle by shooting advertisements and MVs. Later, he started making movies. Now he has become a big screenwriter and a big director. Although he has not yet become famous, he has already had his own film style.
Cang Yaozu also talked about how the film "Two Big Bowls" attracted investment, and that the film lost most of the time before it started filming, how to choose a new actor, how to reduce the production cost, how to be coldly accepted after filming, how did the film be sold, how did it have no distribution channels, how did Cang Yaozu buy the distribution rights, the current situation of major film festivals, and the trend of world film development, etc.
The core of the two films "Crazy Stone" and "Two Big Bowls" is the same, the difference is the shell. In the movie, all forces are fighting each other. With the blessing of extremely confident personality and with the seemingly correct choice, the originally simple and parallel multi-line reality is disrupted and complicated. A series of events are triggered one by one like dominoes, which is ridiculous.
The development of the entire film did not meet the expectations of either side. It was these unexpected twists that gave the audience from the perspective of God the greatest pleasure.
This is the absurdity of rationality, rather than simply using the stupidity of the characters in the play to create jokes, which is separated from low-level funnyness and more advanced.
Ning Hao was very excited, as if Gerich was the other person. This person had succeeded, so he had to catch up with him. He was all the same useless and the same genius. He couldn't let this guy be beautiful in front of him.
Yes, I also use this movie of the same type as my debut work. Let’s try it out. Although the script Ayao borrows from your story structure, I can learn from the skills of the foreigners to control the foreigners. I must also shoot this movie with my taste.
After watching the movie and chatting, everyone walked out of the room and took a few breaths of dry and cold air under the warm winter sun, and was inexplicably excited. Even Leslie, who was often depressed, felt refreshed. Cang Yaozu took his expression in his eyes. It seemed that changing the living environment would be good for him.
What kind of depression is probably because he has no goals and is too comfortable. Well, let Leslie challenge him by making a movie in the snow. The strange and strong external stimulation will definitely be more effective for his depression.
Which movie to choose? This is a question. Or just shoot "The Day Afternoon"? But this movie is more special effects. Do you really need to go to the snow and ice? No matter what, this movie is just this movie. Well, I'd better ask director Roland Emmerich to shoot, and the special effects of "The Day Afternoon" are still left to the digital field.
Although this special effects disaster blockbuster was filmed several years in advance, it should not be a big problem. Cang Yaozu can spend money, recruit people, and even transfer low-end production capacity to China. It is still OK to do some basic picture rendering here. This is not a problem. You can also pile up with money and time.
Greg Strauss, the special effects director of the original version of "The Day After", is now producing iceberg special effects for "Titanic". Although this kid is young, only in his 20s, his level is not low. Many of the special effects of Marvel superhero films in later generations are the works of the Strauss brothers. Well, it has a promising future and must be cultivated.
"Ayao, what are you thinking? You are so trance?" Huang Bo saw Cang Yaozu's silence, and when he saw that he came to his senses, he asked.
"Oh, I'm thinking about a disaster film called "The Day After a Time". Although it's a bit difficult to produce now, it's basically 1998 when Leslie finished filming "Yandu Meets Seattle". When this movie "The Day After a Time After" is finished, it's probably 1999. By then, the difference in special effects technology shouldn't be very big, and I'm just ready in advance."
"A Yao, what is "The Day After the Day", a disaster film?"
"Yes, disaster films, hurricanes, hail, tsunamis, snow disasters, and severe cold. You can't direct Leslie in this film. The scene is a bit big and there are many special effects shots, but you can play the role of the male lead. It's a story about a climatologist, a high school student's father who bravely goes against the flow in the face of disaster to save his son. The focus of this film is on special effects, but the plot is not weak. Friendship, family, and love are perfectly interpreted, and there is room for performance in the face of disaster.
After you finish filming "Yandu Meets Seattle", start preparing this film. You can become an assistant director. Then you learn more from the director. Leslie, so you need Yandu and Los Angeles to run away. I guess you don't have time to go back to Hong Kong."
"It's great. I always feel like I have no goals and a little empty. Now, I have it again. As a director and go to Hollywood, I am full of fighting spirit again! Thank you, A Yao."
"No need to thank you. I grew up watching your movies. Ning Caichen, Song Zijie, and Azhan all left a deep impression on Cang Yaozu. Well, I owe you a lot of movie tickets. Don't worry, I will give you enough support. Most of the difficulties can be solved with money, people and time. We have them.
I will give you the script of "The Day Afternoon" in a few days, and the director will find Roland Emmerich, the director of "Independence Day". I will give him the script. The investment in this film will definitely be more than 100 million US dollars. Leslie, how prepared are you."
"No problem, A Yao. I really didn't expect that there would be such a situation now. When Xiangjiang movies were at its peak, the production cost was also very low."
