Chapter 1086： 83rd Oscar

February 25, sunny.

In the past few days, part of the crew of "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" has been helping the special effects team in the digital field to build the required green screen, motion capture equipment and slide rails for the camera crew in a very spacious room.

Of course, the most complicated thing here is the mature 3D virtual photography system during the "Avatar" period.

For this reason, before the filming of the film, the crew paid Weta Digital more than 300,000 US dollars in technical service fees, and in the later stage, they had to pay more than 2 million yuan in post-engineering consulting fees.

This money cannot be saved.

Although the motion capture technology in the digital field is not bad, if this system is loaded, only two Sony HDCF950HD cameras can be used to simulate human eyes to create a stereoscopic environment background, which greatly improves the quality of viewing.

After the indoor studio was set up, the originally empty space was gradually filled with many equipment. After experimenting with the effects of several shots, Serkis's team will be responsible for modeling the action performance and enriching the facial details. .

It was also at this time that all the actors were notified to join the group, and the movie officially started.

......

Judging from the distribution of the entire script, the cause of the contradiction is that genetic scientist Will Rodman developed a new drug for the treatment of human neurodegenerative diseases. As a result, during the clinical trial of orangutans, a mother orangutan gave birth to protect the The child, who suddenly went crazy, attacked the nursery staff, and was shut down by the superior, but Will himself, for the sake of his Alzheimer's father and some compassion, hid the remaining medicines that were not approved for production, and adopted a clinical trial. The product of Caesar, and then Caesar gradually exposed his amazing learning ability in the process of growing up...

In the order of the script, the first scene is definitely the introduction of new drugs, but Director Zha prefers a gradual shooting state, so the first scene arranged after the start of the movie is a scene where Caesar gradually shows his extraordinary intelligence——

James McEvoy put on a simple knitted sweater, his hair was messy, and his face was only covered with base makeup to reveal white concealers. He had already memorized his lines and faced two fixed camera positions, standing alone in the bedroom. With interest, he watched Caesar play with a simple intelligence test toy, gradually deepening the difficulty, and stared at Caesar's reaction.

To be honest, this kind of one-man one-man show was quite silly when filming, but he had to look interested, and he couldn't let go of the eye-catching scene.

No way, all the scenes about Caesar had to be filmed three times. The first time was him acting alone in the air, pretending to have an orangutan next to him; the second time was Andy Serkin wearing a motion capture helmet. The third time was Andy Serkis alone in front of a green-screen studio equipped with a 3D virtual system.

Only in this way, the material produced is enough for later use. If you often NG, the workload will be doubled.

Of course, the crew is not stupid. Under the leadership of Director Zha, everyone divided into three shooting groups to shoot together, and one group was specially responsible for the follow-up set of shooting materials. The motion capture team can transition directly to the next shot.

So, when Lehmann came to the set, what he saw was such a mere methodical work unfolding.

Everyone performed their respective duties, summarizing the shooting results every one or two days.

Among them, the 12-person team of motion capture doubles brought by Andy Serkis contracted all the capture work of the Gorilla Legion.

"After the shooting, pay the remaining 4 million."

With this expectation, the first big order received shortly after the studio expanded its recruitment, a total of 8 million performance remuneration, made Andy's team members very motivated.

According to the feelings of some of them, this is their first A-class masterpiece after switching from front to back performance, which is of great significance.

Liam walked over with a smile on his face, "Boss, the publicity effect is not bad, our people have been guiding public opinion, and the offline hard advertising posters have also been laid in place."

"Where's the theater line?" After visiting the class, Lehmann turned around and came to the distribution department.

"The North American Cinema Alliance guarantees that it will provide us with 3,400 open theaters. Regardless of the performance, the 80% share in the first three weeks will remain unchanged. If the performance is outstanding, it will definitely be added appropriately. 53 regions including Saudi Arabia, Britain, France, Germany, Austria, Italy, Sweden, Denmark, etc. have been confirmed to be released simultaneously, while 10 regions including Slovakia, Qatar, Finland, China, Japan and South Korea are delayed by a week until all procedures such as copying, screen or introduction, and subtitles are in place. will be shown."

"This is the first time that we have independently planned the global release of a medium-invested work with high publicity intensity. Is there any problem?" Lehmann asked.

"At present, there are no difficulties. Our projects produced by Firefly have always had a good reputation in the screening industry. This time, it is mainly science fiction and action. The subject matter is already popular, and there is almost no cultural gap. Therefore, distributors from all over the world are relatively easy to talk about, unless it is screened. The results are not good, otherwise it should not be possible that the channel market will quickly propose a reduction."

For this matter, various sites have been busy for a long time in advance. Judging from the information returned by the distributors in various places, Liam himself still has an optimistic attitude towards the screening of "Super Body".

If nothing else, at least some movie markets around the world have freed up some shares to accept it. Whether it is successful or not Only the part of facing the audience will be left to see the difference.

"That's good, but you still have to remember to always guide the positive image of the film and expand the public opinion index."

"In the focus of our promotion, fans around the world have responded more enthusiastically to the new Johansson-Scarlett film. After all, the popularity of "Reunion" is still there." Liam smiled: "It can only be said that the time and place are right. In the March schedule, we did not see any type of competition that particularly overlapped in the market.”

"There's still a week left for the release, come on." Lehmann patted his shoulders and encouraged, "By the way, isn't there a team for "Captain America"? You can shoot other people's scenes first, and let Scarlett cooperate with the road show first. publicity."

"I know, I have communicated."

After talking about this, Laiman turned around again, looked at the promotion results of the online publicity department, and finally returned to the company.

"Boss, at the Oscars in two days, the academy members want you to present the best director." Mays ran to report.

"Help me refuse, I will participate, but it's okay to come on stage." Lyman shook his head.

"OK."

Outside, the Oscar turmoil is expanding. The annual controversial moment is always staged on time at the end of February, but Lehmann, who has been paying attention to all kinds of work, just feels tired, even if their label has many works selected, he still not too concerned...
