Chapter 482

Naturally, shooting around the country will inevitably encounter some enthusiastic audiences, and it often happens that Han Fei's fans are generally over the age of 25, which is beyond the age of star chasing fanaticism. At most, they come to ask for a signature group photo during the shooting interval, which has not had a great impact on shooting.

However, some online media began to take the opportunity to scribble, put the photos taken by Han Fei in some scenic spots on the page, and then began a series of big conjectures.

What? Han Fei was devastated by his grandfather's death and left the crew to relax all over the country.

Others go too far. Han Fei is disheartened. He is looking for a place to live in seclusion and is ready to become a monk.

For a time, many netizens really believed it. After all, there are not a few celebrities who become monks in the entertainment industry. Many netizens even left a message under Han Fei's microblog to persuade him to open something.

It really made Han Fei cry and laugh. Finally, he was helpless. With more and more people believing, Han Fei had to publish a Clarification Announcement on his microblog.

In this way, even if the shooting plan of "Avatar" was completely revealed.

Many people in the circle feel incredible about this. After all, this shooting method is still rare in China. When Han Fei shot "the rise of the scarlet ball", he also used the way of real-life play + real scene shooting.

However, it is worrying whether the large-scale green screen mode can achieve the expected effect. How to say, the use of green screen in Chinese film circle is still in a very primary stage. Green screen is rarely used only in some fairy Xia and martial arts TV dramas.

I'm afraid the only film shot with all green screen in China is the Westward Journey to the heavenly palace. Unfortunately, this play does not use the combination of real scene and special effects at all, so that all scenes are fictional. The audience feels very fake at first sight and is sprayed with special effects of 50 cents.

In fact, this film is really not Wumao special effect. Relatively speaking, the production of the special effect team is more attentive, but the director didn't do good to compose the picture first.

In this regard, Han Fei didn't stand up to refute the rumor. After all, no matter how much he said, there will still be people with rhythm. It's better to do a good job in the film. After it is released, the truth will come out naturally.

It took a total of three months to shoot outside. It was hard but full. Han Fei completely pulled himself out of the world and became a spectator in the world.

When Han Fei returned to the Danshui shooting base, it was autumn. The weather in Guangdong Province was as hot as ever. Han Fei specially bought iced watermelon before joining the crew.

After entering the studio, I found that it was like a stove. What's more terrible was that in order to make the shooting effect better, there were all kinds of lights, reflective baffles and so on.

"Old Han, you melon saved us." Jiang Qinghou joked while eating the melon.

Han Fei came in for such a short time, and his forehead began to sweat: "you can't do this all the time. Just rely on so many electric fans? What if you have heatstroke?"

"Hey, the crew is not like this. There are many heatstrokes. What else can we do if we send them to the hospital? The air conditioner can't achieve the cooling effect in our large studio, so it's not as effective as the electric fan." Jiang Qinghou wiped his mouth.

"What about the field?" Han Fei shouted.

The yard hurried back and forth, and Han Fei said no words. He ran out to make a phone call. Not long after, the scene returned, and he was asked to carry two boxes of things with a foam box. He opened it and found it was ice.

"Turn on the ice and blow it with the fan, so it should be able to use it. It's not bad for this money to fix more ice in a day." Han Fei said.

After a while, sure enough, the temperature in the studio decreased. Although it was still more than 30 degrees, it was much more comfortable than before.

Especially for several new actors, high temperature filming is the most difficult. It's uncomfortable. They often need makeup. Now the temperature has dropped to the same temperature as outdoor, and the whole person is much cooler.

"How's the shooting?" Han Fei naturally wanted to know the shooting progress while taking advantage of his rest.

Jiang Qinghou deser said, "one third of them have been shot, and they will be finished by the end of this year."

Well, the shooting will be finished at the end of the year, which means that we have missed this year's Christmas schedule perfectly. After all, there are too many post special effects scenes of "Avatar", which will certainly not be completed in a short time. It is conservatively estimated that it will take half a year.

However, this kind of film with high industrialization intensity can only go step by step, and there is no shortcut. Han Fei can only postpone the expected release time. After all, the film quality comes first.

The next shooting time is boring. To tell the truth, it's funny to watch a group of actors make various expressions and actions towards the green screen all day.

At the end of November, the shooting of "Avatar" stage was officially finished. Several young stars hugged each other and cried. This period of time is also a rare unforgettable experience for them.

The next work is very cumbersome. For the technicians of "Tiangong", they are creating an illusory and real world. All plants and trees, even insects on leaves, need them to improve.

Fortunately, a large number of sketches in the early stage of Han Fei's crew have built the basic outline. If you change an unreliable crew, the special effects technicians can't be satisfied even if they spit blood tired.

To put it bluntly, it's still a question of whether the crew has done enough in the early stage of shooting. Many Chinese crew even changed their shooting scripts temporarily, let alone expect them to have a complete world outlook, let alone chronicles and biographies.

"The theme color of Pandora is blue, including their skin. In addition, the style of the whole film is fantasy and romantic. What we want to show the audience is a fairy tale world." Han Fei set the tone in advance before the special effects production.

"I see."

After the meeting, the special effects team was fully powered. Even though the domestic epidemic has been basically controlled, it has a great impact on the film and television industry.

In the Chinese film and television industry, whenever there is a problem with funds, the first thing I think of is to reduce the special effects expenses. The projects received by "Tiangong" this year have not been as many as in the past quarter.

Now, the "Avatar" project has officially started, and all technical teams can drive at full power. Maybe it's too long to do special effect design so freely and vividly, and many employees even take the initiative to ask for overtime.

In fact, the impact of the epidemic on the film and television industry is more serious than many insiders thought. Originally, everyone was waiting for the recovery of the film and television industry, but it was not until the end of this year that it was found that last year's depression was only the beginning.

It's worth mentioning that even with the popular "I'm not a god of medicine", the overall box office of the film industry shrank by 30% last year, and it's even worse this year, compared with 62% of the box office output of the previous year

Of course, in contrast, the recovery effect of the TV industry is obvious. Not only did it not decline, but it increased by 3% compared with the data of the previous year.

This also shows that the current economic problems, the long-term isolation since the outbreak of the epidemic, have stimulated the attributes of many audience houses.

In addition, many people who are used to spending in advance also have a shadow in their hearts because they are unable to repay their credit cards in time. After the epidemic, consumption tends to be rational, and many viewers not only reduce the number of visits to the cinema.

Even the desire to consume online has been greatly reduced, and the consumer market has fallen into a downturn. As for some mild luxury goods, they have to spit blood at a loss.

Generally speaking, in this year of chaos, it has become the first priority for many people to have a stable job and support their families. What exquisite life they pursued before has long been left aside.

In contrast, the situation in the United States is even worse. The impact of the epidemic has not passed. There have been many riots and demonstrations, which have intensified in this country known as freedom and democracy.

As a result, the box office in North America has shrunk by 45% compared with that before the epidemic, and the box office market in the United States is even bleak, so that many Hollywood film companies have reduced production, because the more they shoot, the more they lose.

The news of the killing of "Avatar" soon began to spread on the Internet. However, when the audience expected to see the film in the new year's file, they found that there was no publicity news of "Avatar".

Sure enough, "Avatar" was not released in the new year's festival, so the audience began to pay attention to the new year's day schedule. However, after the new year's day schedule was determined, no "Avatar" was found.

Is it the Spring Festival? So in late January, netizens still didn't see any "Avatar" related publicity. Obviously, "Avatar" cut the Spring Festival schedule again.

This makes many viewers very puzzled. Hasn't it been killed? Three months have passed. Even if it can't be released, there must be some news, right?

In fact, the post production of "Avatar" is more troublesome than Han Fei imagined. Every tree and stone in it has to do modeling, CG composition and rendering, so the efficiency will not get up quickly.

During the Spring Festival, less than 15% of the overall special effects have been made, and the special effects of some war scenes have not yet started.

Many employees are willing to stay to work overtime, and Han Fei also said that if they work overtime during the new year, they not only have three times their salary, but also have paid leave for half a month after the new year, which also makes many employees who originally wanted to go back for the new year actively apply to stay.

During the Chinese new year, Han Fei returned to the company on the first day of the new year in addition to going home on New Year's Eve and having dinner with his grandmother. He didn't stare at the employees, but wanted to let the employees know that they saw their efforts.

This year, Han Fei still distributed 5% of the company's net income to employees as a year-end bonus. Although the income is much lower than in previous years, it has stood out in the entertainment industry of chicken feather.

Unfortunately, the employees of "bird film and television" have always been very stable and rarely change jobs. In addition, last year, "bird film and television" has carried out a series of talent introduction, so there is no large recruitment plan in the new year, otherwise it is estimated that HR will be busy again.

The new year began like this. With the official work on the first day of the new year, the later project of "Avatar" was fully operational again.

In March, the modeling of all plants and animals was completed, and in April, the character modeling and face motion capture scanning were completed.

In June, "Avatar" post production was completed!

Han Fei didn't put the news on the Internet for the first time, but held a film viewing meeting at the bird theater. This time, he specially replaced the IMAX screen and more expensive audio equipment.

"You boy, have a surprise attack again. If the film is not good, don't blame me for putting down my chopsticks and scolding my mother." the leader smiled and scolded.

Han Fei said with a confident smile, "look what you said. If it's not good, I'm sorry to invite you."

"Ha ha, OK, let's see what the hell you are doing." the leader smiled, and a group of cinema managers behind him smiled.

Han Fei didn't sell off. The film began directly. The sign of "bird film and television" flashed on the IMAX giant screen. Then, the story officially began.

At the beginning, the lens was relatively ordinary, which was not strange for science fiction films. One came to the appearance of the Neville family.

At this time, through the expression of the female doctor, we also know that the original air on Pandora is not suitable for human survival. In order to explore the secrets of the planet, human beings have created a creature similar to the Navi family by using human DNA and Navi family DNA.

Such a setting is really eye-catching, and with the male Lord's consciousness stationed in the Neville body, he stood up again, which also indicates that a magical world is quietly opening the door.

With the advance of the plot, the male Lord controlled the clone Nevis and began to appear in the jungle of Pandora.

The next scene shocked everyone present. The beauty of Pandora can hardly be described in words. The towering huge trees up to 900 feet, the starry mountains floating in the air, the colorful dense rain forest full of strange plants, and all kinds of animals and plants will emit light at night

Everything here is so dreamy. Coupled with the real effect of 3D glasses and IMAX giant screen, as well as the shocking sound effect of surround sound, people can't believe everything in front of them.

Seeing this, Han Fei and Jiang Qinghou looked at each other and saw a smile from each other's expression. When they were watching the film, they were shocked by this scene, even if such a scene was designed by them.

The subsequent war scenes were even more shocking. The war between mechanized forces and jungle tribes should have been one-sided. However, the Navi people on Pandora had the help of various magical animals, and the two sides fought back and forth.

With the last scene, the protagonist opens his eyes again, but finds that his consciousness has entered the body of the Neville family. The whole film is over.

The lights came on again, but only a few dozen spectators were still immersed in the world of Pandora.

"You boy..." the leader patted Han Fei heavily on the shoulder: "I really have you."

In fact, he can't describe what kind of film he just saw. Until now, he still can't believe that he can see such a film made by Chinese people in his lifetime.
