Chapter 481

Han Fei returned to the company and went back to work after the Lantern Festival. After the old man left, he certainly couldn't let his grandmother live alone.

Han Xiao took grandma home and gave her the room that belonged to Han Fei.

Moving and grandpa still had some things to deal with, so he wasted some time. Fortunately, the "flying bird film and television" was operated by each department separately, and he didn't need to keep an eye on it all the time.

Facing Jiang Qinghou's concerned eyes, Han Fei just shook his head and said he was fine.

"Well, don't be fussy. Grandpa left in his eighties. It's a happy funeral. Recently, there are many things at home. Now I've handled it almost. I'll come back. Don't worry."

After listening to Han Fei, everyone was relieved. Although Jiang Qinghou is the director of the crew and his prestige is not bad, in everyone's mind, Han Fei is always the soul. He doesn't even need to intervene in the specific affairs of the crew. As long as he is seen there, he will make people feel uneasy.

What's more, the investment of "Avatar" is so large. Under the name of the first production cost in China, everyone actually has no bottom. These days, it's obvious that everyone is not in a state, and Jiang Qinghou can't help it.

Fortunately, Han Fei finally came back, and according to his appearance, his state was adjusted well.

After six months of preparation, the preliminary work of "Avatar" is basically completed and can enter the formal shooting stage. Of course, before that, we must select actors first.

In order to further reduce the production cost, Han Fei did not choose to become a famous star, but chose several tall young actors in Zhou Jian's company.

Why choose tall ones? The neville people on Pandora are far taller than normal humans. If the actors are too short, they will appear uncoordinated. At least... Do they have long legs?

After the news was released, the media were a little confused. These young actors... Really don't know each other at all. They should belong to Chunmeng new actors.

But how did they get Han Fei's play? After checking the brokerage company behind them, the truth came out in an instant. It has been widely rumored in the circle that Han Fei is the behind the scenes boss of zhoujian brokerage company. It seems that it makes sense to use his own people?

Of course, at this time, it is inevitable that some peers will rub the heat, and many unknown actors on the Internet begin to "tell" the "inside story" that they passed by "Avatar"

After the selection of actors, there is another difficult character, that is, language. In fact, the Navi language used by the Navi people in the original version is called Navi language, which absorbs the language characteristics of Indians, Africa, Central Asia and Caucasus, and it is a completely original language.

In fact, in the early stage of production, Cameron considered Matt Damon and Jack Gyllenhaal as the candidates to play Jack Sally, but because they didn't feel right when they talked about "Neville", Cameron finally chose Sam Worthington, who was still a newcomer at that time.

As for the "Navi language", Han Fei also invited some language experts to specially design a set of languages, but finally chose a new language that combines some rare Xibe, Uzbek and Daur languages in the Altai language family.

However, a total of only a few hundred words have been developed in the lines. There is still a long way to go to truly improve into a systematic language like world of Warcraft.

Yes, Han Fei's goal is to build "Avatar" into China's world of Warcraft. It's not difficult to develop a game with the technical reserves of "Tiangong".

Han Fei is naturally jealous of the huge profits of the game industry for a long time, but the ecological chain of "bird film and television" is not complete before. He needs to spend a lot of energy to build it and has never had the opportunity to do game projects.

"Avatar" is definitely a good opportunity. Even Han Fei can create a 3dvr game to lead players into a new world with film level pictures and plots.

In fact, "Tiangong" has set up a game team under the instruction of Han Fei and started the research and development of a new generation of game engine.

During the shooting of avatar, Tiangong will also send a technical team to assist in the whole process of technical guidance.

Time came quietly in April. "Avatar" held a low-key Startup Ceremony, and did not even invite the media to the scene, but the media reporters who heard the news had already squatted outside the crew.

Every car entering the crew will be surrounded by media reporters. The scene once wanted the plot of the zombie film. These reporters are not afraid at all. If the driver is a novice

"Han Fei, how long is the production cycle of this film? Can it be released at the end of the year?"

"Excuse me, with such a large investment, the actors are a group of newcomers. Are you really relieved?"

Han Fei couldn't get in without answering a few questions, so he had to get out of the car: "the production cycle of the film is not as long as I can say. The key depends on the progress of shooting, so I can't give you an answer now."

In fact, after the crew's preparation, Han Fei found that his estimated release around Christmas was too optimistic. It's not unreasonable that the original "Avatar" had been shot for two and a half years. It can't reduce too much shooting time because the Chinese crew worked harder. According to the current estimate, the shooting cycle should be at least one and a half years, This is still under the condition of working day and night.

"As for the use of new people, of course, it is also out of consideration of the investment budget. Our crew hopes to spend more on shooting than the sky high actor's remuneration."

Of course, the reporters will not be satisfied with these two questions: "the film remuneration of actors at sky high prices, Han Fei, do you think the film remuneration of domestic actors is too high?"

"Not only at home, but also abroad." Han Fei will not be easily fooled by them, which makes it clear that it is digging a pit to let him jump.

The security guard of the crew finally squeezed out a way from the crowd of reporters and took Han Fei into the crew. After the door was closed, there were still reporters squatting in place.

After Han Fei entered the crew, he simply held a startup worship ceremony, and the staff on the other side have set up the set.

Unlike "wandering the earth", avatar doesn't have many places to build real scenes. It mostly uses CG animation technology, and the actors' performances are basically carried out in the green screen studio.

The only place that needs real scenes is actually in the spacecraft, which was rebuilt from the space station in the "wandering earth".

One shot when the camera was turned on was that the protagonist opened the door with a wheelchair. After hearing that the other party was a mining company, he turned around and didn't want to pay attention until the other party told the news of his brother's death.

This is a team leader's shot, but it is not difficult to shoot. However, just the first shot, Jiang Qinghou shouted: Ka.

"You should know that you are a disabled person with paralyzed legs. Your leg muscles have completely shrunk and can't support your lower limb movement at all. But you see, how do you do in the camera? When you push the wheelchair, your arms will always subconsciously support, which is not normal."

The young actor was a little confused by Jiang Qinghou. He could only nod vigorously. He didn't know if he really listened.

After that, only this group leader shot all morning, which also made Jiang Qinghou's temper gradually irritable. Han Fei looked at it and quickly secretly told Jiang Qinghou, "send dinner first. I'll talk to him."

Jiang Yuan looked blankly at the staff scattered. A box of lunch was suddenly handed in front of him. Jiang Yuan looked up and found that it was Han Fei. He was shocked.

"Old boss..." Jiang Yuan was at a loss.

Han Fei patted him on the shoulder and smiled in his heart. In fact, it's no wonder that he was nervous. As a novice, he received a film made by "Avatar". In addition to being lucky, it was more pressure, because everyone would observe it with a microscope. If he didn't perform well at all, he would be regarded as a failure in the film by fans.

But any actor with a little self-esteem will feel that Alexander, of course, is not among those artists who are only responsible for making money and are not afraid of boiling water.

"Eat first. It's the biggest thing to eat." Han Fei said. He had opened the box and ate it.

Jiang Yuan felt that his stomach had begun to protest. While eating, he looked at Han Fei curiously. Although he had heard about him countless times before, seeing a real person for the first time was really different from what he imagined.

"Do you think I'm different from what the outside world says?" Han Fei smiled.

Jiang Yuan widened his eyes and said: can you read your mind?

Han Fei shook his head: "this is the most basic skill of being an actor: observation. By observation, I don't mean what he did, but through his actions to simulate the character's psychology, his values, his living habits, his character, everything, are obtained through observation."

Jiang Yuan nodded and hurriedly said, "this college has taught..."

"From now on, forget the methods taught by the college. What you need is to open your heart and bring yourself into the role of Li cha. First of all, what kind of state will you be if you are a disabled person, a disabled person with lower limb muscle atrophy?" Han Fei said and packed up the lunch box that he had eaten almost.

The drum doesn't need a heavy hammer. What Han Fei can do is just to give instructions. If he is really ignorant, he has to change people, and the crew can't afford to delay.

Jiang Yuan took several deep breaths and began to eat crazily, because he saw that many staff had finished eating and were looking in his direction.

"Ka, it's over." Jiang Qinghou's face eased a lot, and Jiang Yuan ng several times, but fortunately, every time he made progress.

Especially the last time, when he turned his back to the door and heard the news of his brother's death, his face was stiff at that moment. Generally speaking, he was qualified.

Jiang Yuan almost didn't cry when he heard the "Ka". Han Feichong gave him a thumbs up. The little rookie was excited and trembled all over. Alas, he was still young.

However, after the first team leader shot the scene, Jiang Yuan also opened his eyes, and then the shooting of several shots went smoothly.

Generally speaking, there are few places where "Avatar" uses live shooting, and most of them rely on later CG animation to create that kind of real fantasy picture.

So most of the next shooting is carried out under the green screen of the studio. To be honest, this kind of non physical performance actually tests the degree of actors' liberation of nature.

In fact, not all veteran actors can adapt to this way of performing in the green screen. After all, there are not many film and television dramas that really use the green screen in China.

Most film and television dramas are still shot in Hengdian film and television city.

However, internationally, this kind of green screen film has become a trend. Some films even have no location at all. Even if there is location, they only need photographers to shoot, and there is no need for the whole crew to shoot. Undoubtedly, doing so can save a lot of costs.

Of course, the premise is that you have to pass the special effects technology, otherwise you can imagine how embarrassing the film made by the fifty cents special effects in the whole process.

During the shooting of "Avatar" on the green screen, Han Fei and a shooting team began to rush to the location.

Huangshan, as a national 5A scenic spot, does not need to say much about the scenery. Many crew come to take pictures every year, and the scenic spot management office has long been surprised.

But it's rare for a team of filmmakers like Han Fei to come. I don't know. I thought they came to take wedding photos.

"When will your crew come? How long will it take to shoot? But it is agreed that all your garbage should be cleaned up, otherwise you will be fined. In addition, you are not allowed to destroy any scenery and landscape, which will lead to imprisonment."

Everyone was happy when they heard it: "just us, we don't need the crew."

"Ah? What are you shooting if the crew doesn't come?" the people in the management office were stunned.

Han Fei said with a smile, "we're here to take pictures. We'll take it back after shooting. We'll put actor P up in post production."

This is the most popular explanation Han Fei can think of.

As a result, the people in the management office looked at them wrong: "Hey, sure enough, a group of young people are unreliable. Can they still watch such films?"

Everyone couldn't help laughing at the speech. In fact, it's normal. No matter how hot your film is, it's impossible for everyone to know that no one is the protagonist in real life. Don't take yourself too seriously.

Finally, the Management Office handled the shooting procedures for them. Of course, some people followed them, and he supervised the whole process every time.

Interestingly, director Cameron claimed that the shooting location was Huangshan, but in fact, many scenes in the film were quite similar to Zhangjiajie, so that after the box office sales of "Avatar", the two scenic spots began to quarrel for a long time.

Han Fei plans to include scenic spots such as Huangshan Mountain, Zhangjiajie, Emei Mountain, Sanqing mountain and Tianzhu Mountain. In the end, it depends on how the post production team chooses.
