Chapter 1381 Success Is No Accident

To be honest, Chen Hao really doesn't know what kind of dramas everyone is acting in abroad now?

China is so big, from "Lost" to "Departures" to "Legend of the Galactic Heroes", even "Three-Body" has not officially started filming yet, many Chinese actors have become popular. In addition to those in the United States, there are more actors filming in various Asian countries, and there are also a few who have participated in some European movies. At last year's Cannes Film Festival, Chinese actors were no longer the Chinese army. Just like today, it was not a bright moon surrounded by stars, but a group of stars scattered in the starry sky at the scene.

Not only actors, from photography to art and editing, this group of Chinese staff have jobs abroad, especially action directors and martial arts directors, who are extremely popular. Now if there is no action scene designed by a Chinese action director in an action drama, people think you are particularly LOW.

In today's scene, Chen Hao looked fine on the surface, but very proud in his heart. He never belittles himself. Even if he has to be humble in front of others, it is normal to be a little wild in his heart.

"I brought all these people up. I am not just a stepping stone for China to open the world stage. I built a mobile stage that directly connects to the world stage."

To be honest, it would be a lie to say that I have no selfish intentions. I have won so many awards that I really feel that everything in front of me is happier than winning the awards myself.

Although it only won the Best Actor Award at the Golden Globe Awards, no one will deny the greatness of "Legend of the Galactic Heroes". Its greatness is not in the level of artistic attainments. Just like "Avatar" back then, in the history of movies, it is impossible to bypass them. The historical image presented with the most straightforward data will always be one of the important criteria for measuring the historical value of a movie.

Ask the current audience, do they prefer "Legend of the Galactic Heroes" or "Forrest Gump" and "The Shawshank Redemption"?

The answer is not difficult to answer. Most ordinary audiences still prefer movies that can make them feel more enjoyable in more than one or two hours. No matter how powerful the meaning is, not all audiences are willing to accept other people's thinking patterns and thought structures.

Some people's values ​​are indestructible. They watch movies just for two hours of entertainment. Whatever can bring me a better viewing experience, it is the movie I like.

At the beginning of the award season, "Legend of the Galactic Heroes" was once again hotly debated by everyone. Should it be awarded? There is no doubt that it is a commercial blockbuster. For many years, commercial blockbusters have never had such an honor. If there is one, "Titanic" which was between the two was one. When everyone was shocked by the series of shocking scenes starting with the sunken ship hitting the iceberg, the quality of the film itself was there, but even such a film did not actually win any major actor awards. Compared with "Legend of the Galactic Heroes", which focuses on the commercial atmosphere, can the two protagonists really win the favor of the Oscar judges?

The hot topic throughout the award season has become more and more heated. Not to mention, various awards really favor "Legend of the Galactic Heroes". Seeing that the Oscars are coming, it has set off a wave of momentum, and it feels like it has to rely on public opinion to demonstrate its value.

Chen Hao did not return to China during the New Year. Many actors, like him, were actively filming at the Galaxy headquarters. Occasionally, they filmed on location once or twice. The filming method inherited from Chen Hao was also too much for many people. It was a filming method that consumed your physical energy to the brink of collapse, making you extremely excited. Every scene was an explosion, and every scene was hoarse.

Every outdoor scene was shot in a large scene, with hundreds of people serving a scene. The number of extras participating in the performance was no longer a problem. The use of various props and scenery, every reshoot, not only meant a lot of money consumption, but it was also very likely that the previous and next scenes were not well connected, and several scenes had to be reshot.

It was difficult for such a crew to not be watched when shooting on location. Every shoot required a large area of ​​closed shooting venues. The number of N cameras increased. Even if Chen Hao could adjust his state and the actors could adjust themselves, there was no way for the director to take care of so many staff and so many extras. It was very likely that the effect of the filming would be worse than one by one.

To this end, Chen Hao's style is to squeeze everyone's physical energy, so that they are highly focused when shooting. It is better to shoot a little too much than to not have enough effort. If they shoot too much, the next shot may not need the actors to collect it themselves. Fatigue makes them collect some of their state, and naturally they reach the standard.

Shooting with one or two shots can easily gather everyone's morale. After shooting several scenes in a row, Chen Hao will give everyone some spiritual and material double rewards. Everyone is really screaming, and they can't wait to shoot more when they are in good condition.

There are hundreds of staff members, more than a dozen large and medium-sized props on the scene need to be pulled in by more than a dozen trucks, and there are countless small props. When there are many actors, there are more than 200, and the special effects team also has more than 100 people. Just all kinds of on-site explosion special effects need to be arranged in advance for a day. For each shooting, the result of a mistake is that at least one or two hundred people need to work for more than ten hours to recover. The actors move to another scene to shoot, and come back to shoot again after shooting.

Whether it is a cold wind or a warm sea breeze, whether it is getting warmer and colder as we go south or colder and colder as we go north, the filming team of "The Legend of the Galaxy Heroes" always has the attitude of "I want to use my best to get things done." The spirit of Guzi comes from Chen Hao. He always sets an example no matter what time. When I don’t enjoy the privileges, when I am like you, I can do it with multiple jobs, but you don’t seem to be able to do it. Reason can't be done.

You have good food and accommodation, and the crew's welfare is also high on weekdays. With Mr. Chen like this, if you make a very low-level mistake in a scene, you don't need others to say anything about you. You yourself are too shameless to show off to others. You just can't raise your head. You don't dare to think about how many pairs of eyes will look at you at this time. There will be no scolding or dissatisfaction in these eyes, but some are just pity. You can't stand this pity.

All location scenes were shot together, and a large team concentrated for a period of time to overcome all difficulties.

Xiao Lizi, a man who always stood in the command ship wearing a general uniform, at the end of the second part, due to unpredictable developments in the war, his command ship was shot down, and he was forced to start his escape journey , when the enemy discovered that it was his command ship that was shot down, they set up a dragnet on the planet to capture him.

It was also the first time that DiCaprio went on location during the filming of this series of movies.

As soon as he came out, he felt that the atmosphere around him was wrong. He was marching in a hurry every day. The road traffic in the United States was smooth, and large vehicles could carry long distances easily. Chen Hao liked to use land transportation, which saved him from having to go back and forth, and it also cultivated everyone's ability to be together. To create a sense of community, and at the same time use rapid marches to squeeze everyone's physical energy.

When I feel sleepy, I take a nap, and when I open my eyes, I rush on my way. We walk and shoot all the way, adjusting the shooting times according to the location. All members of the crew serve the location.

At the beginning, Xiao Lizi was still a little uncomfortable. He was a little confused. Why did everyone suddenly seem to be in a hurry? The sense of urgency on everyone's face was as if the filming was not completed in the next second. It's like we ran out of shooting time.

"Hurry up and build all the props before dark."

"The logistics team went to nearby towns to buy dinner and visited a few more to ensure that everyone could have dinner before dark."

"The tents are set up along the mountain col. The wind here is strong at night. I would like to tell everyone to pay attention to safety."

"The actors did the first simulated shooting without physical objects. After an hour, everyone changed costumes and props and got in place. We went through it in advance."

"The driver formed a circle around the cars, lit a fire, and then evacuated early tomorrow morning. We won't be filming tonight."

"The weather forecast shows that it will snow tomorrow morning, and we will officially start shooting tomorrow morning."

"Tell the director that the medical team has been replenished from nearby cities and is in the process of returning."

"The costume and prop team were the first to enter the tent, conduct a final inspection of the costumes used in the shooting, and distribute them to the actors."

The entire crew is like a machine. Everyone performs their own duties. The assistant directors are also used to their positions. You are responsible for filming the actors, you are responsible for the logistics, and you are responsible for the props. They all know that in this crew you have no You are not qualified to be lazy. What you get in exchange for your diligence and hard work will definitely not be ignored. It will definitely be a big red envelope after the movie is released and becomes a big success.

As the core of the entire machine, Chen Hao usually only has Qiu Yu as his assistant, but as soon as he enters the crew, there will be at least four assistants around him. Once the location shooting stops, these assistants are responsible for reporting to him and guiding him. Sometimes Chen Hao just puts forward a vague idea. From the assistant to the deputy director to the specific implementation department, everyone is not a yes-man. It is necessary to gather collective strength to turn this vague idea into feasible practical operation.

Have you ever seen any production assistant who can come to the director for a meeting?

Here you have an idea, Mr. Chen. Let’s enrich it below. We may encounter difficulties in the specific implementation. We need to sit together and hold a meeting. What should we do together to discuss it? If there is a need to make a final decision or communicate with the outside world, Mr. Chen needs to give us a guidance and suggestion.

The entire crew became busy, and Chen Hao was called away by the props team and the assistant director in charge of the props. Before the station was set up, they ran directly to the bus for a meeting. The narrow space didn't matter, the important thing was that everyone could be in one Summarize your ideas as quickly as possible in the environment.

"This time the prop explosion, we still think it should be done with computer special effects. The actors can run the process on the spot. We will increase the impact of wind and waves to achieve the effect of explosive air waves." The senior props master of the props team, pulled Xiao Lizi told Chen Hao that it was not feasible to shoot prop explosions in real scenes. You, Mr. Chen, can do it, but he, Xiao Lizi, can't. He doesn't have the reaction speed as fast as you, so it will be dangerous when the special effects explode.
