Chapter 527 God's Will Crew
The students in the class were sent to experience life, so Zhang Ran naturally didn't have to stay in school, so he drove to Tiangong Chongcai to see the special effects of the collapse of the building.
House collapse caused by earthquakes is different from ordinary buildings, and is not a simple collapse process. House collapse caused by earthquakes is related to the movement of seismic waves. When houses shake left and right, they do not collapse much. The real large-scale collapse is when the ground is bumped up and down. For this reason, Tiangong Chongcai collected a large amount of data from earthquake research institutes at home and abroad, including data simulating seismic waves, and then input these data into the computer.
Another troublesome thing about earthquake special effects is that buildings of different materials, buildings of different sizes, collapse time and method of collapse are also different; some houses collapse entirely, some collapse in chunks, some collapse from top to bottom, and some collapse slowly after tilting; special effects must show this difference.
Tiangong Chongcai has been working for several months, but the situation is not ideal, and the results are very fake. For this reason, the special effects team suggested to Zhang Ran that it is necessary to develop special plug-ins, otherwise it will be difficult to achieve ideal results.
It may take several months or years to develop excellent plug-ins. If the plug-ins cannot be developed in time, the release of the movie will be postponed, and "The Great Earthquake" must be released during the Spring Festival in 2008 and cannot be postponed.
After weighing the pros and cons, Zhang Ran finally decided to do research and development, and he hoped that the effect of the movie could be the best.
In Tiangong Chongcai, Zhang Ran was busy until the evening, and Zhang Ran went home to pick up Zhang Jingchu for dinner.
Zhang Jingchu just got into the car and asked, "Have a girl been in your car these two days?"
Zhang Ran said in surprise: "Your nose is so smart, can you smell it? Are you not a monkey, but a dog?"
Zhang Jingchu pouted and said, "It's not smelling it!" Then she pinched a black stocking with her fingertips and lifted it up: "Her stockings are pulled in the car!"
Zhang Ran was a little confused when he saw the stockings in Zhang Jingchu's hand. What's going on? How could a stockings come out of the car for no reason? He thought about it carefully and found that Yang Mi had been sitting in his car. It was definitely the one who made this ghost girl! He was really a tiny man, and he had come up with such tricks to cheat people!
The aggrieved expression on Zhang Jingchu's face made Zhang Ran a little ache, making him seem like he was fooling around outside. He talked about the incident of taking Yang Mi outside to experience life yesterday, then took out his cell phone and dialed Yang Mi's phone: "Okay, Yang Mi, you have a lot of ability, you have learned to frame and frame him!"
Yang Mi knew that the stockings she left in the car had been found, and she was overjoyed, but she pretended to be stupid: "Teacher Zhang, what were you talking about?"
Zhang Ran said coldly: "Today, I opened the car door and smelled salty fish smell in the car. I felt strange. I looked carefully at the socks in the car. Who else is there except you for such smelly socks? I called to ask you if you should pay the car wash fee?"
Yang Mi almost vomited blood: "You fart, your feet are smelly!" But she immediately reacted and said proudly: "It must be discovered by Sister Jingchu. If you found it, you will find it in the morning. Hehe, you will be scolded by Sister Jingchu! I deserve it! Who told you to say that I was from Xi Shi in the toilet!"
Zhang Ran laughed: "Jingchu scolds me? I don't know who I am yet? Do you think this trick can work! You, Xishi in the toilet!" Zhang Ran reached in front of Zhang Jingchu: "The culprit is here, do you want to scold her!"
Under normal circumstances, a woman takes off her stockings in front of another man? She doesn’t take her away after taking it off? It’s obvious that the mistress is provoking her original wife! It’s definitely a naked provocation!
张婧初知道张然不是这样的人,但她心里还是有些不舒服.不过她认识杨迷,知道这丫头古灵精怪的,喜欢捣蛋,在听到杨迷的话后,她就彻底明白是怎么回事了,生气的念头也就消失了:“你这个疯丫头,简直欠揍!”说完,她挂掉电话,打开车门将杨迷的臭袜子扔进了垃圾桶,然后打开前门,抱着张然把脸贴在了他的胸口,轻声道:“张然,要是有一天你不喜欢我,喜欢上别人了,一定要告诉我!”
"What stupid things are you saying?" Zhang Ran reached out and stroked Zhang Jingchu's hair, "I am so busy every day that I don't have the heart to find others. Besides, no one else is as good as you!"
Zhang Jingchu lay on Zhang Ran, looked at Zhang Ran and said, "I really love you!"
Zhang Ran looked at his girlfriend's eyes and replied: "I love you too!"
The two kissed gently, their eyes connected, and there was a strong sense of love in their eyes.
Time soon entered April.
Zhang Ran felt very strange. During the second statement, Liu Qi personally said that the Olympic Organizing Committee would announce the list of the winning teams at the end of March. But it is already April, and the Olympic Organizing Committee has no movement at all, and I don’t know what’s going on.
However, Zhang Ran did not call to ask what happened, it seemed that he was too impatient. Maybe this was a test, and it was up to who could not impatient. After all, the pressure of directing the Olympics was unimaginable. If the director could not impatient and could not make a quick decision at critical moments, it would be too easy for problems.
On April 3, the historical science fiction drama "The Will of Heaven" co-produced by Century Peak, Mango TV and Peking TV was held in Jiaozuo Film and Television City.
"The Will of Heaven" is a historical science fiction novel launched by "Science Fiction World" in 2004 with the battle for hegemony between Chu and Han. Like "The Letter of Heaven" also sets the story background in the Qin and Han dynasties, trying to reconstruct this history. This is a story that combines historical, myth and science fiction elements.
The TV series "The Will of Heaven" is very important to Zhang Ran and the peak of the century, and is the beginning of the future "Dragon Group" series and movies. After buying the copyright of the novel in 2004, Zhang Ran hired several screenwriters and wrote several scripts. Finally, he personally polished the script according to the rhythm of the American drama and changed it to the current thirty-episode script.
The director of this drama is Gao Xixi. The reason why Gao Xixi was chosen was because Zhang Ran had watched Gao Xixi's "Three Kingdoms" and "Chu Han" and knew that he was able to direct large-scale historical dramas; in addition, "The Will of Heaven" is a science fiction theme, and many places require computer special effects to complete it. For example, Long Xi reproduced the ancient plank road by twisting time and space, Han Xin attacked Long Xi's spaceship with a shadow sword, and triggered a huge tsunami, etc. Gao Xixi is one of the few directors who have been exposed to computer special effects. Gao Xixi has filmed the TV movie "The Great Sandstorm", which uses a lot of digital technology and produced a large number of three-dimensional special effects shots. From all aspects, Gao Xixi is undoubtedly the best candidate for this drama.
The press conference was as sensation as imagined, and basically all the media that could come were present. "God's Will" was extremely popular on the Internet, and it was jointly filmed by Zhang Ran's company and Peking TV and Mango TV. Many people have high expectations for this movie being reported by the mainland version of "Xu Qin Ji".
In addition to the leaders attending the opening ceremony, the leading actors of the play, Feng Shaofeng, the actors of Han Xin, Huang Shengyi, the actors of Ji Jiang, and many actors.
At the end of the crew are a group of extras, including Zhang Zhi and Chen Jieru. Although Zhang Ran said hello, their identities are still extras, just extras with the group.
As an extra, if you want to stand out with your figure and face, and win the favor of the director and producer in one fell swoop, it is almost impossible in reality. At most, you can only get into special appointments, and it is not even a small role. At the entrance of Beijing Film Studio, playing a supporting role in Hengdian, and being attracted by the director to play an important role can only appear in novels.
Because every assistant director has hundreds of new actors from professional backgrounds, when you need it, you can attract a group of people. How can you give the role to extras? In the eyes of most directors, you will always be extras. You have already positioned your mind, because you will never play too big roles in their hearts.
Wang Baoqiang's ability to make a comeback is that Li Yang's "Blind Well" just takes a non-professional actor to play a role from the countryside, and then Wang Baoqiang won the Golden Horse Award for Best Newcomer Award. If he hadn't happened to meet "Blind Well", Wang Baoqiang's ending would be either going home or becoming a special contract, and running a supporting role for the rest of his life would not have a big change.
Zhang Ran is not the kind of director who thinks that extras can only be extras, but he has never seen Zhang Zhi and Chen Jieru act and doesn’t know their level, so he can only take a look first.
The opening ceremony officially began. First, the leaders spoke, introduced the cast, the main creative lineup, and the main content of the drama "God's Will", etc.
Immediately afterwards, Tangren's general manager Cai Yinong announced that "God's Will" was officially launched, and then she and several leaders lifted the red cloth covered on the camera.
After the simple and grand ceremony, Director Gao Xixi stopped and said to everyone: "The opening ceremony was completed successfully, and the next step is the hard shooting. As the saying goes, the emperor is not hungry. Today is the crew's start-up meal, so everyone eats with their stomachs."
The entire drama of "God's Will" is as costing as 60 million, 2 million per episode. Zhang Jizhong's "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and "The Legend of Condor Heroes" have been considered a big investment, and the cost is only 30 million. Therefore, the crew of "God's Will" is relatively rich, and naturally they are more generous in starting the filming.
After the meal, many people came to toast Zhang Ran. Although Zhang Ran was not the director of this drama, it was rare to have the opportunity to show his face in front of Zhang Ran. As long as he was not a fool, he would seize this opportunity.
Huang Shengyi also toasted Zhang Ran with a glass of wine, but unlike other actors, she smiled and said, "Teacher Zhang, I, the heroine, will be available for 16 episodes. It's too late. Can you let me come out early?"
The TV series has 30 episodes and the heroine appears in 16 episodes. Zhang Jizhong's version of "The Smiling and Proud Wanderer" has adjusted the story because the heroine appears too late. Zhang Ran pondered: "Yes!"
Huang Shengyi was overjoyed: "Really?" It seems that he can add to the show.
Zhang Ran nodded seriously and said, "You can get out at the end of episode 15!"
Huang Shengyi was so angry that she stamped her feet, and everyone burst into laughter.
In addition to toasting, Zhang Ran specifically talked to Zhang Zhi and Chen Jieru for a few words and asked about their situation. Of course, he did this on purpose. The class concept in the film and television industry is very serious. Extras in the crew are simply not regarded as human beings. Anyone can be bullied, beating as long as they want, and scolding as they want. Zhang Ran introduced him when Zhang Zhi and Chen Jieru, and he hopes that they can be less bullied in the crew.
Sure enough, after talking to Zhang Ran, many people looked at Zhang Zhi and Chen Jieru differently, with envy in their expressions, and those who had bad intentions to Chen Jieru also put away their little thoughts.
After eating the rich start-up meal, Zhang Ran and Gao Xixi went to the shooting site to check it out, and after they came back, they discussed the entire shooting. Zhang Ran and Gao Xixi both attached great importance to this drama, so their discussion became more and more in-depth, and after the discussion, they even picked up the pen and temporarily modified the storyboard script.
The discussion was till twelve o'clock in the evening, and both of them were still unsatisfied. However, considering that they were going to film tomorrow, they had to hold on and talk to each other next time.
The next morning, "God's Will" officially started filming. (~^~)
Chapter completed!
