0247 [Pumping]

"I have watched the trailer and documentary of "Wanted Order". There are many amazing scenes in it. How did you imagine it? I feel incredible after watching many shots, let alone come up with it." Li Xiang asked in an admiring tone.

Wan Xiaohu smiled: "Some of them are fictional scenes in the original comics. I think they can be taken, so I took them out. There are many other scenes, which may come from my childhood or my teenage imagination. You know, every girl imagined the prince charming to marry her when she was a child. And boys imagined how to complete the task of saving the world."

"We girls never only thought about Prince Charming. I also thought about saving the world." Li Xiang complained.

"Is that true? I'm not respectful." Wan Xiaohu bowed.

Li Xiang laughed and said, "We saw it just now. There are many very cool shots in the trailer, which feels very difficult. Is it also very difficult when shooting?"

Wan Xiaohu nodded: "For me, it's not very difficult, it's just very complicated. Because in the past, when we filmed movies, it was a single shot, and the actors performed in a scene. Whether the performance was good and whether it created an artistic conception, I can master it through the monitor. The problem now is that many shots are cut and need to be synthesized. At this time, you have to outline the scene in your mind first and then break it down into several separate scenes."

“It’s hard to imagine it isn’t it?”

"Yes, let me give you a simple example. The scene you want is that the actor jumps out of the sky, but the actor can't really jump down, otherwise he will fall to death. So you have to shoot the actor's fall performance in the studio, and then shoot the scenery in the air and combine it together. In order to avoid secondary shooting, you have to complete two cameras that can be fitted at once, which is a very test of the director's feeling. Otherwise, you will shoot the actors as actors, the scenery as scenery, and it will not be integrated."

"How many shots are shot separately like this in "Wanted Order"?"

"It's a lot. When you buy tickets and enter the cinema, you will know that the shots in almost half of the time are all synthetic."

"When shooting these shots, are the actors' performances satisfied? Let me take Chen Kun as an example. Are you satisfied with Chen Kun's performance?" Li Xiang asked.

"You can ask Chen Kun yourself. Chen Kun should know whether I am satisfied with him or not." Wan Xiaohu pointed at Chen Kun who was sitting below and resting.

Li Xiang ran over to ask Chen Kun, and Chen Kun smiled bitterly: "I am probably the one who is the least popular among the directors in the entire crew. I am brainwashed by the director's magic sound every day."

"So, tell us what's going on?"

"The male protagonist is a very decadent office worker. I'm not bad at performing this, but suddenly I transform into a superhero super killer and have to shoot a lot of action scenes. My muscles have to be trained, which is even more terrible than killing me. I was filming. The staff took the beating wine and waited for me to finish a shot, and immediately wiped it on me. After filming the scene, everyone else relaxed, and I also had to practice muscle training and skills. In this way, my movements are often not standard enough and I was scolded for being miserably."

Wan Xiaohu interrupted: "Chen Kun's performance is quite literary. I want him to give me explosive power, but he doesn't have a martial arts skills. If you don't use a stand-in for many moves, you have to shoot ten or twenty times. I won't talk about wasting film. The key is to delay the progress. I'm very efficient in filming. I said that I will shoot it in three months. I don't want to delay it until three and a half months. So I stimulate him every day. I said Chen Kun, are you stupid? You can't learn such a few moves, and you won't be allowed to sleep when you go back, practice more! I scolded every day because we worked on "Butterfly Effect" a long time ago. He knew my temper and was not angry, but he must be successful after he went back. I want this effect."

Li Xiang pulled Chen Kun and asked, "Director Wan scolded you, you really don't get angry."

"Want to hear the truth or the lies?"

"Of course it's the truth." Li Xiang turned around and said to the movie fans below, "Do you want to hear the truth?"

"Truth!" Fans held up slogans supporting Chen Kun.

Chen Kun smiled: "Actually, it's very common for actors to be scolded. When they were scolded by teachers at school, they would naturally be scolded by the director when they joined the crew. I cherish the opportunity that the director asked me to act in "Wanted Warrant". When he scolded me, I was not angry, but I was worried, because the director thought I could not afford the role. After all, there was such a big investment. Later, I gradually lost my feelings because the director in the crew did not tell who you are. When he wanted to scold, he scolded him."

Wan Xiaohu quickly defended: "Chen Kun, don't spread rumors and slander my personal reputation. I don't scold people so casually. Everyone is justified."

Li Xiang grabbed Jessica again: "Let's ask Jessica, Jessica, has the director scolded you?"

Then I asked again in English.

Jessica looked at Wan Xiaohu and smiled sweetly: "I often scolded him. When he was on the set, he was just a powder barrel, which was terrible."

"Exaggerated, too exaggerated." Wan Xiaohu defended again.

But I couldn't resist the actors asking each other, and everyone spoke in unison, saying that Wan Xiaohu had scolded them.

Even the big-name Chen Daoming said: "Xiaohu's temper is sometimes very good. When he has a stern face, I feel the atmosphere solidification. Fortunately, he curses without slogans, and is the kind of nickname that is loud and more vivid. Some people in the crew say that he is a slot machine, why is it called a slot machine? Because it is a tiger hair dryer."

"Haha." Many movie fans laughed.

Although the actors collectively attacked Wan Xiaohu, it can be seen that this is all joking.

Wan Xiaohu drooped his face and said a classic saying of elementary school students: "Okay, brothers sold me today. You can wait, don't leave after school!"

"Haha." Everyone laughed again.

Many viewers who were watching the live broadcast in front of the TV and in front of the website also laughed in front of their respective screens. The famous sayings of primary school students are indeed full of joy to recall.

Just kidding, chat about movies and gossip, and then interact with the fans for a while.

This premiere event is almost over.

At this time, Li Xiang invited both fans and celebrities to step down, and then said: "Today is the premiere of "Wanted Order". On New Year's Day, the movie will be released nationwide. For this reason, our organizers also invited the bosses of major theaters across the country to cheer. See what they think of "Wanted Order", and there is a welcome applause."

Now the mainland is in the theater system, and the bosses of various theaters are the ones with the most say in the downstream of the movie. They all walk with big belly and round waists, and stand in a row.

"Bosses, are you optimistic about the "Wanted Order"?" Li Xiang asked.

The first speech was Gao Jun, the vice president of the Beijing New Film Federation. Gao Jun is one of the three musketeers in the Chinese film distribution industry. Xin Film Federation is the largest theater in Beijing, occupying 80% of the market share and has a high position in the industry: "Our theater chain is very optimistic about "Wanted Order", because before that, we have watched "Wanted Order" before we were scheduled to be released. There is nothing to say, Director Wan's movie is definitely a blockbuster that is more exciting and popular than Hollywood blockbusters, and we are full of confidence."

The second place, also one of the three musketeers in the industry, and occupies 80% of the Magic City market, Vice President Wu Hehu said: "Now Stephen Chow's "Kung Fu" and Feng Xiaogang's "The World Without Thieves" have been released. It's very popular, but I have a premonition that they are all preheating. "The Wanted Order" is definitely the ruler of the box office."

The third one is one of the three musketeers in the industry, and the top leader of Dongguang Film Company, which occupies half of Dongguang films. Zhao Jun, said: "I told Director Wan before, "I told Director Wan, are you going to break the record of "Titanic" today? Director Wan said he didn't think so, and I said, you didn't think so, but you did it. In the whole of Hollywood, there is no cooler movie than "Wanted Warrant".

The bosses of the theater chain spoke one after another, supporting the "Wanted Order" and asked to arrange the film's schedule.

Amid the compliments, the last part was a photo of movie fans and actors. Wan Xiaohu didn't like taking photos, just to let the stars deal with movie fans, and he still brags with several bosses.

Finally, Li Xiang waved his hand at the camera: "I'm very reluctant, but the live premiere of "Wanted Order" will end here. Let's see you in the cinema, goodbye!"

...

The event ended and it was past five o'clock. A group of people moved to the theater next door, and the movie will premiere here.

During the waiting period, Wan Xiaohu put his hands on the armrest, leaned on the back of the chair, listened to the noise in the cinema, and looked at the large screen that was being debugged. Suddenly, he felt his chest pounding, and inexplicably felt infinite pressure, a "Wanted Order" created according to his imagination.

A story that was originally supposed to be a Western story, but he modified it into a Chinese-language movie. Today, it is a time to test whether the movie is good or bad.

The audience was filled with reporters, and every comment was enough to affect thousands of viewers.

Especially foreign journalists will largely cause box office fluctuations.

Although the mainland theater bosses are confident and Paramount is also confident, Wan Xiaohu also knows the success of the original version. He has done his best to beautify the story. The story is told smoother, more rhythmic, and the special effects lenses are cooler and more perfect. The special effects production cost is 50 million US dollars.

It is not the kind of scenes and character shapes used in "Lord of the Rings" that are used to create huge scenes and characters, but just changes based on reality. The 50 million US dollars burned is absolutely shocking.

But, at this critical moment, my chest was beating and I couldn't calm my mind.

Beat pounding!

Wan Xiaohu's career as a director, the only movie that can be called a blockbuster has premiered!
Chapter completed!
