non-famous actor

"no!"

"I see."

……

With Zhang Yimou around, Sun Hao didn't go back to the hotel, but went directly to the Oriental Movie Metropolis behind the hotel.

In order to shoot "Avatar 2", Oriental Movie Metropolis specially built an underwater studio with a height of [-] square meters.

According to the agreement signed between Oriental Movie Metropolis and the "Avatar" crew at that time, the underwater studio must maintain a constant temperature of 32°C, the water quality must meet the "swimming pool water quality standard", and the indoor pool must be equipped with high-efficiency hair collectors, quartz sand filter sand tanks, etc. The water filtration system and ultraviolet disinfection and sterilization system provide high-quality filming water for the production crew.

Today, Sun Hao came to check and accept the results, because the remaining scenes of "Avatar 2" will be completed in this studio.

As soon as Sun Hao entered the studio, he saw several dedicated people, including Nicole Kidman, Scarlett Johansson, Liu Ye and Oscar winner Nicolas Cage.

"Director, Happy New Year!"

Seeing Sun Hao coming in from outside, Nicolas Cage, who has been studying Chinese hard recently, raised his hand to greet him.

"Happy New Year, Coppola."

Sun Hao responded with a smile.

"Can't you call me Cage?"

Nicolas Cage cares a lot about this.

Because his original name is Nicholas King Coppola, and since his uncle is the famous Francis Coppola who filmed "The Godfather Trilogy", this guy doesn't want to be always said that he is in the light of his uncle when filming. So he changed his last name to Cage.

"Okay, Coppola."

Sun Hao replied with a serious face.

And this made everyone laugh.

"Hahaha……"

However, Nicolas Cage did not smile, but pointed to the water tank in the underwater studio:

"Director, Liu Ye and I went for a swim just now, and we tested the motion capture suit and the camera by the way, and found something wrong."

"Oh, what's the problem?"

Sun Hao, who originally wanted to joke with Nicolas Cage again, walked to the side of the water tank and asked very seriously.

"Director, the water is dynamic, because we want to fully simulate the real underwater environment, with whirlpool currents and huge waves in the ocean.

In this way, it is easy to cause refraction, which will reflect a large number of wrong marks on the capture point worn by the actor, which will affect the shooting. "

"Mmmmmmm!!!"

As soon as Nicolas Cage finished speaking, Nicole Kidman, Scarlett Johansson, and Liu Ye nodded at the same time.

Especially Liu Ye, this guy also deliberately jumped into the water tank and performed a walk on the seabed, allowing Sun Hao to watch the actual shooting of the underwater camera through the director's monitor next to him.

"Well, I see, Yezi, come out!"

At this time, Sun Hao picked up the walkie-talkie and asked Liu Ye to come out of the water through the waterproof speaker in the water tank.

"Wow..."

"What's going on, director, if you shoot like this, the resulting picture will really be unreadable." Liu Ye said worriedly as soon as he emerged from the water.

"It's okay, I forgot to tell you when I left, about the underwater scenes, we have special motion capture suits and underwater cameras."

"Oh ah!"

Originally, the few people who wanted to make a small contribution to earn some bonuses from Sun Hao were a little disappointed when they heard that Sun Hao had already expected this.

And at this moment, the frowning Zhang Yimou came in from outside the studio.

"I'm back, Hiroko."

"I'm back." Sun Hao greeted him with a smile.

"Director, Happy New Year!"

"Okay, happy new year."

Zhang Yimou came over and approached Sun Hao.

"At the entrance of the community opposite the hotel, there is a new [Juxian Quanyang Soup], I went to have a meal at noon, and found it delicious, why don't we go over and try it now?"

Chapter 1256

At dinner time, the crew all went to [Juxian Daguo Whole Mutton Soup Restaurant].

When he got there, Sun Hao even ordered a roasted whole lamb for Nicole Kidman, Scarlett Johansson, Nicolas Cage, Angelina Jolie and others.

When these Hollywood superstars with little "knowledge" eat their mouths full of oil, they keep giving thumbs up and shouting "very good"!

Since the roasted whole lamb needs to be reserved in advance, and the one that Nicole Kidman and the others were lucky enough to eat was given up by other customers, so Zhang Yimou and Sun Hao ate relatively light.

One bowl of soup per person, two cakes per person, plus two spicy goat feet.

"Director, would you like some beer?"

Knowing that Zhang Yimou's stomach was not good, Sun Hao asked this question, which was regarded as seeking advice.

"Forget it, I mainly want to talk to you about something."

"You say."

Sun Hao took advantage of the situation and pushed the seasoning box on the table to him.

"Haozi, if..., I said, if, at the competition ceremony for the chief director of the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympic Games held in May, I failed, but you passed, can you let me join your director team, let's have a joint directing?"

"Uh……"

Sun Hao was stunned.

It seems that I hadn't really thought about this before, and I always wanted to write a brilliant stroke in my life history. Sun Hao once directed the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympic Games in 08!

Seeing that Sun Hao didn't speak, Zhang Yimou hurriedly said:

"Of course, if I win by chance, then I will also sincerely invite you to join my director team, not to let you go and work with me, but let's co-direct?"

"Um……"

Sun Hao thought for a long time before saying: "Director, can you let me think about it for two days?

Because I've never thought about it before. "

"Of course, of course!"

Zhang Yimou, who already had a smile on his face, rubbed his hands vigorously at this moment.

"Haozi, my daughter-in-law Chen Ting reminded me of this matter. She said that in foreign countries, there are many cases where two famous directors co-directed the opening and closing ceremonies of the Olympic Games."

This matter needs careful consideration, Sun Hao didn't intend to get entangled in this topic, so he quickly changed the topic while drinking the mutton soup.

"director……"

"Ok?"

"Mr. Zhang called the police. I don't know. How did the police investigate the piracy?"

"There are already results."

"Oh, so fast?" Sun Hao expressed surprise at this.

Generally speaking, for such cases involving film piracy, there is basically no three to five years, and the police can't find out why.

And when the police find out, the pirates will be empty. At that time, let alone claiming compensation, if you don't get mad at yourself, it will be considered as a lot of blessings you have accumulated in your previous life.

But who knows, Zhang Yimou curled his lips.

"Haozi, Zhang Weiping has disgraced you this time.

It was his own nephew who did the trick. His own nephew handed over the copy of "Curse of the Golden Armor" directly to the pirates. Otherwise, how could the pirates have high-definition resources? "

"what……"

Sun Hao was surprised.

"This is real?"

"Of course it's true. His nephew felt that since "Curse of the City with Golden Armor" was not voted by my uncle, it can be exchanged for some money.

But who knows, Zhang Weiping, who had just been discharged from the hospital in Shancheng at that time, signed a betting agreement with Jiang Zhiqiang about the release of "The Golden Armor in the City" in a daze. "Speaking of this, Zhang Yimou shook his head with a wry smile.

It is still against the sky to do evil, but to do evil by oneself is not to live!

……

"The two VENICEs are split into a body part and a lens part. The lens part contains the image sensor. The two are connected through a wiring system. The body part is carried by an assistant. The photographer only needs to hold the lens to shoot, which greatly reduces the weight of the hand. .

The two lenses are placed together vertically, and the two lenses capture the pictures of the left eye and the right eye respectively through the beam splitter, and the whole stereoscopic shooting system becomes portable and compact.

With such a shooting system, our "Avatar" shooting team can shoot closer and more flexible 3D scenes, which will give the movie a stronger sense of immersion and expressiveness. "

the next day, early morning

Zhang Yimou, who got up early, wanted to leave with his luggage.

I still have a lot of things to do, I can't stay in the island city all the time, not to mention, the purpose of this trip has been achieved, Sun Hao promised to think about it.

Although Sun Hao is ruthless in his actions, he is still very reliable in his words, and he will think about it when he says it, and he will never be perfunctory.

Of course, if he can agree in the end, it will be even more perfect.

However, when Zhang Yimou walked to the front desk downstairs and was about to check out, he saw such a scene.

Xu Jinglei, the executive assistant director of "Avatar", stood in the crowd and spoke, while many well-known domestic photographers, lighting engineers and young directors who came to the crew to study all stood outside and listened carefully.

Zhang Yimou still knew about this.

At the beginning, when China Film Group agreed to spend [-] million US dollars in cash to invest in the movie "Avatar", it had an agreement with Sun Hao. Whether the movie can make money is another matter.

However, the crew of "Avatar" must train useful film and television drama talents for our country, such as photographers, prop masters, lighting engineers, stylists, prop masters, etc...

In this regard, Sun Hao not only did not refuse, but also agreed to the request of China Film Group very happily, and added to himself, as long as he is willing to come to learn, no matter if he is an industry insider or a complete amateur, our crew will accept all of them. welcome.

Moreover, after studying these people, if they can pass the assessment of our crew, we will fully reimburse their board and lodging and transportation expenses during this period.

Ha ha..., this is very impartial.

Of course, in this way, Sun Hao's historical position in the Chinese film and television industry has been completely established. The next generation or two of filmmakers have all received my favor back then.

"Director..., director Zhang Yimou, hello!"

"Oh……"

Hearing the greeting from the lady at the front desk, Zhang Yimou finally came to his senses.

"Director Zhang Yimou, you stay for one night. The total cost of accommodation plus board and lodging is 1980. Do you pay in cash or by credit card?"

"Oh, not for now.

After a while, please ask our hotel waiter to deliver my luggage to my room. "

"Oh...but..."

The pretty lady at the front desk wanted to say something more, but at this moment, Zhang Yimou had strode towards the group of people who had just left.

"I know that many people divide the movie "Avatar" directed by Sun Hao into 1 and 2.

In fact, this simple division is incorrect.

Because in our crew, 1 is "Avatar"; and 2 is "Way of Water". Just like the name of the movie, "Way of Water" is full of elements of water.

And water is often regarded by us as one of the most difficult elements to photograph.

According to the design of director Sun Hao, the main underwater scene of "The Way of Water" takes place in a water tank of about 340 million liters, which is custom-made to simulate different ocean currents and ocean movements..."

Chapter 1257

Upgraded again!

This was Zhang Yimou's first thought when he followed Xu Jinglei and others into the underwater studio of Oriental Movie Metropolis.

A huge water tank, a separate camera, a swing camera that can shoot in any direction, a special high platform for shooting...

Especially this high platform named "Volume", when high-definition cameras provide animators with detailed action shots to perfect the movements made by the actors' bodies, on this high platform, 120 fixed cameras are also capturing the positions of the actors at the same time and action.
