"Moon" hot, science fiction sequence of Qingdao node!Oriental shadow continues to accumulate, and the summer champion is made like this

"Moon" is hot! Qingdao node of science fiction sequence

● Zhang Fan and Zhang Fan reveal how to make the summer championship

● Oriental shadow "science fiction trilogy" continues to charge

With the box office of "Lone Moon" exceeded 2 billion and 3 billion sword refers to the domestic science fiction film field, two data sequences have formed. From a vertical perspective, the top three science fiction lists "Wandering Earth", "Crazy Alien" and "Lone Moon" are all shot in Dongfang Shadow, all of which have exceeded 2 billion box office. They all have profound Qingdao symbols. The cost subsidy for making excellent film and television works in Qingdao has been obtained. From the horizontal perspective, the three large blockbusters of this summer, "Mozart of Outer Space", "Lone Moon" and "Tomorrow War" are all science fiction, which are the combination of science fiction with parent -child, comedy, and mech elements. In the three films, although the box office and word of mouth of "Lone Moon" are the best, the other two films have also made great innovations. The two major teams of Hina Mo Na and more VFX completed the mech hard science fiction. Aside from the utilitarian box office data, fans will see the new direction of the future development of the film industry from these two films. For the film industry, Qingdao Oriental Film is obviously a key node for these two sequences.

The popularity of the box office of "Lonely Lunar" has covered a part of the discussion. For example, is "Lone Moon" science fiction or comedy? From the perspective of the movie itself, "Lone Moon" is undoubtedly a science fiction film. The explosive power and lunar gravity of kangaroos solve the "last fifty kilometers" and use the "Hammer of the Universe" to impact asteroid fragments π+... It is true that Shen Teng contributed the richest joke, but "Lone Moon" is obviously a implementation of the engineer spirit Movies: Duguyue split the parts of the spacecraft according to the serial number and reorganize it according to the serial number. We can trust this engineer thinking. It's much more powerful.

During the hot release of "Lone Moon", we interviewed the director Zhang Fan, the director of the film, Zhang Fan. Zhang Yiyu was busy from 31 to 36 on the "Lone Moon" project. And Zhang Fan's more VFX (Mo Jing Tiantou) is the premier visual effect giant in China, and the filming of "Wandering Earth", "Assassination of Novelists" and "Lone Moon"; "Lone Moon" is the important inspiration of the industry in the industry. The scientific consultant was incorporated into the film team to ensure rigorous science; on the other hand, it realized the chimeric of comedy core and science fiction shell, and explored new ideas for domestic comedy. How to allocate the weight of the "sense of joy" and "science fiction", how to take into account the level of special effects and the cost of shooting, and how to find domestic science fiction to find the way out of the Hollywood science fiction blockbuster. Get a glimpse of the future.

Director Zhang Yu: Duguyue's life is very complete

Question: "Lone Moon" has become the hottest movie in the summer, and it is even called "rescue work" by theater managers. Its box office is hot all the way. As a director, you spend 5 years on this project. What is your mood now?

Zhang Yuyu: First of all, at the beginning, we didn't expect any expectations for the box office. Of course, when we saw the audience returning to the theater, we were particularly happy. In the original downturn, you can see that the audience has not fully lost interest in the movie, which is what the filmmaker wants to see. At the beginning of "Lone Moon", and when we were "Happy Twist" as a comedy, the original intention was to bring happiness to the audience. We are more concerned about word of mouth. As long as we have good reputation, we can do our best, how much box office, we can accept it.

Question: In this movie, there is a Qingdao actor Huang Zitao. His Qingdao drama is very surprising. The shape also subverts the idol image. What are the evaluations of his performance?

Zhang Yuyu: I am particularly satisfied with Huang Zitao. I designed a role of an idol in the script, hoping that the audience saw the idols before the end of the day showing the side that I did not show before. If you want to achieve the best effect, you must invite idols to perform. But I also know that it is very difficult for idols to destroy the image of self -destruction. When I asked Huang Zitao, I didn't expect him to agree at first. I even prepared a plan B, asking the people to shape the idol. Unexpectedly, Huang Zitao readily agreed and performed very well. In the film, he said that Qingdao dialect, I felt very happy. He was a comedy talent. I was very satisfied with the effect of the final presentation.

Question: Hao Han, who plays the "King Kong Rat", is also the focus of the fans. He is also a graduate of the Qingdao Film Academy. At that time, what kind of characteristics did you choose to see him see him?

Zhang Yuyu: First of all, there are no actors who are not specialized in this animal imitation in China, and there is no actor of Andy Serkins (the "Guru" series of "Ringwang" series). Hao Han has worked with me before. He is a very serious and smart actor. The most valuable thing is that he is willing to spend a year to observe kangaroos and imitate kangaroos. This is my most important quality. Because he has this quality, he will definitely perform the role of animal characters, even if he has not imitated kangaroo before.

Question: The special effects technology of "Lone Moon" is very brilliant, and the expression of real people has been projected on the face of kangaroos. Only the special effects work until July was completed. Can you introduce the difficulty? Zhang Yuyu: In the movie, the most difficult thing for kangaroos to play is to regulate its micro -expression. Micro -expression is a kind of feeling, and various details need to be continuously adjusted, including whether kangaroos have lacrimal glands ("Lone Moon" where kangaroos and Duguyue bid farewell to tears), to what extent can the lacrimal gland be moved, to what extent to the hair exercise to to what extent To what extent a pleated movement on the face ... These are not accurately judged in the visual preview stage, and it must be rendered. And this high -precision lens takes 20 to 30 hours to rendering a frame. After the rendering, the result is obtained, and then judge whether we really want. If you are not satisfied, you will continue to adjust. In the film, a kangaroo saw the mother kangaroo played by Duguyue for a moment to connect the shot of the prairie. That shot was adjusted from the editing material I gave in August last year until it was completed on July 13 this year. During this period, each month. There are many versions, and the picture is constantly iterating, just to adjust a perfect subtle expression. The special effects of biological types are the most difficult in the field of special effects. As long as it involves creatures, it must be the most difficult. I am still very satisfied with the effect of this diamond.

Question: "Lone Moon" is defined as a movie with a comedy core and science fiction shell. How to grasp the balance between the special effects and the joy of the script?

Zhang Yuyu: First of all, at the level of visual effects, we have professional vision guidance. At the production level, we don't need to worry about it. I only need to use my imagination. However, in the balance of comedy and science fiction, it is indeed a major difficulty in this movie, and the details of all aspects must be considered. Like the first sentence of Duguyue in the film: "After I arrived at the moon, I don't know if my social security can continue?" Social security is happy and grounded. Going to the moon is science fiction and is relatively far. At this moment, a collision was formed. At the stage of the film color adjustment, the photography guidance and the color tailor are still discussing: whether to adjust the comedy warm color, or to adjust the cold color of science fiction. Finally, we found a balance point to present the film.

Question: There are few directors of "science fiction comedy". There were few directors touched before. The props production and production experience of science fiction movies were not enough, and the investment was particularly large. In such a long production cycle, how did you have you Adjust the creative mentality?

Zhang Yuyu: The entire science fiction film is still a few in the film industry, and the production experience is still in the process of accumulation. Starting from "Wandering Earth", "Lone Moon" is actually a domestic movie that needs to use large -scale, large -scale science fiction props. At least I have seen the science fiction props industry. I am still optimistic. I believe that it won't be long, and we can see the top international science fiction props such as the top -level international space. Indeed, we have to encounter countless large and small difficulties every day. I take difficulties as an opportunity, channel, and approach to make the film better. As long as I cross the difficulty, this film will be better.

Question: If Duguyue finally has an comedy ending, it should meet the psychological expectations of more fans. Have you considered making Duguyue and Ma Lan stars reunite and increased the box office by hundreds of millions?

Zhang Yuyu: I never thought of changing this ending. This ending was completely determined since I finished writing the script of "Lone Moon". At the same time, the song "Take Me Home, Country Road" was determined at the beginning. This is exactly what I pursue. Duguyue has been able to stand from an ordinary middleman to the end of the earth and π+in the middle. From a lonely person to the end to become a person who is concerned and cared about by the world, from a goddess who can only silently love to the end to the end Those who can confident the goddess, in fact, his life is very complete. At the end of now, in my opinion, it is his best destination, and it is also very romantic.

Question: This film was filmed in the studio of Oriental Film Capital. What do you feel about when shooting?

Zhang Yuyu: I am a newcomer director, and there are not many sheds I have taken. But my main creative team, special effects team More VFX, and my art team are senior filmmakers with rich experience. After visiting Qingdao's studio, they told me, "This is the best shed, and the conditions are already very good." Choosing to shoot in Oriental Shadow is referring to their opinions. During the shooting, Dongfangying did give us very much help.

Q: What do you feel about Qingdao's scenery and food?

Zhang Yuyu: I am most impressed by the catfish dumplings in Qingdao. I have eaten all the catfish dumplings around Dongfang Shadow, and I like it very much.

"Lonely Lunar" Director Zhang Fan: The diamond mouse must be anthropomorphic, but not particularly like a human

Question: "Lone Moon" builds the expression linkage between the live actor Hao Han and the CG kangaroo, let us think of the "Guru" played by Andi Sekins in "The Rings King". Is there special requirements?

Zhang Fan: During the shooting, we first asked the actor Hao Han to perform a kangaroo. In the later period, he wiped him away and synthesized a CG kangaroo to replace him. "Guru" was originally an individual, and kangaroos themselves were animal characters. People came to simulate kangaroos jumping and tickling. These needed Hao Han to observe the habit of kangaroos for a long time. Especially the kangaroos can't speak throughout the process. Hao Han can only imitate mime, and performs through action, expressions, and gestures, which is very difficult. After Hao Han's performance, we adjusted according to the actor's performance. We must realize the needs of the director through editing. We must be realistic, and we must not be too anthropomorphic. We need to find a suitable scale in the middle. The difficulty of Shen Teng's drama is to play with Hao Han. At the scene, Hao Han was just a drama on his eyes, because he was wearing a green clothing, but in fact, his interaction with the actor himself was not so strong. This requires Shen Teng, who is a strong imagination and a superb performance. We took a kangaroo doll on a pole and made him perform at the doll. The difficulty was very high. Shen Teng's performance was very strong, and the final effect was very good.

Question: How to grasp the sense of joy and science fiction in "Lone Moon"?

Zhang Fan: This film belongs to science fiction comedy, science fiction and comedy are two labels. As a biological role, the diamond rats also belong to the science fiction category. The animation of kangaroos. We tend to go in a funny direction. After all, the whole film is comedy, but it is not too funny and too cartoon. It is too cartoon, "Cat and Mouse", and the biological characters are inconsistent with real people. We put the diamond mouse a little bit a little bit, anthropomorphic but incomplete, because kangaroos could not perform in a man's way, but in some plays, kangaroos should look cute, beautiful, angry, and more anthropomorphic. Our ingenious grasp of this scale, too anthropomorphic makes the audience feel that it is not like a kangaroo, but if it is too realistic, people and real kangaroos are not so funny together, and they have been separated from a lot of joy.

Question: This time "Lone Moon" has been filmed for 142 days in Dongfang Ying, and it is also another key project of the more VFX team in Yingdu. Can you introduce the shooting experience in Dongfangying?

Zhang Fan: This time we used 15 studio in Dongfangying, 41,000 square meters of viewing area, and grinded 200 tons of stones into sand into the moon surface, and 100%of the real scenes set up a lunar base. Dongfangying is one of the large -scale and large -scale film and television bases I have contacted. The overall service and management are also very good. Our overall experience is very good. It is the first in China, including filming here, rest supporting facilities Very perfect. We also used the movement of the Yingdu No. 5 shed. Through the movement process developed by ourselves, we put it in a larger studio to shoot the big scenes of the moon. Of course, the technology iterative iteration is fast, and the film and television bases are constantly introducing new technologies. There are no problems at present, and the competitiveness of iteration will definitely have.

Question: In "Lone Moon", build the moon surface with real sand and gravel. In the future, can the LED virtual shooting technology be directly virtual moon scene and omit this round of real work?

Zhang Fan: The development of the entire film special effect industry is not linear. It is not directly evolved from the blue and green screen to the LED screen, not from A to B, but the state where A and B exist at the same time. A drama has a variety of special effects lenses, for example, the drama of Dugu Moon running on the moon, his feet and the moon have a lot of contacts. The part of the exposure to the moon must be set up by the scene, which is equivalent to the middle of the middle, which is equivalent to the middle of the middle, which The close scene is real scene, and the mid -view can be replaced with LED. In the future, LED is a very good technology, but its cost is still too high. The lens with a large scheduling requires a large area of ​​LED screen. The overall distance of Dugu Moon running in the moon is very long. The cost of setting up and building LED devices is too high. Once the cost of building blue and green cloth is higher, it is not applicable. LED and blue -green cloth do not have to choose one, but at the same time.

Question: The development of special effects hardware equipment is changing with each other. If the film and television base wants to maintain the attractiveness to science fiction films, which areas and departments should be strengthened to attract works that have higher requirements for production technology?

Zhang Fan: As I mentioned earlier, I hope that the film and television base will set up a technical team to continue to observe new technologies and directions at home and abroad. I often contact various domestic vision teams and producers to understand the needs and update hardware. Customize the environment according to the needs of various crews to meet different needs and attract everyone to shoot. The service of Dongfangying City is now very good, and the improvement of software and hardware is definitely endless.

Question: From "Wandering Earth", "Lone Moon" to "Wandering Earth 2", your more VFX is involved in the visual effect team. Intersection

Zhang Fan: The visual effect of "Lone Moon" is about 1,800 lenses. We have been involved in early 2020. In October 2020, we started preparations in the early stage of the crew. After the killing in April last year It was only ten days before the release of July 19 this year, and the last moment was achieved. In the industry, there are generally 1200 shots in the industry that attach importance to the film. More than 95%of the films involve special effects.
