Chapter 318： Big winner! (1/2)
”Oh, this is really incredible”
The propellers of the blasting helicopters turned high and made a huge roar, flying slowly in the clear blue sky. This is the county town of Xunyang County, Shaanxi Province, China. The film crew of ”Firefly” is performing aerial photography. From a high altitude, the county town located between the green mountains and the green water has a peculiar appearance and a curved water circulation, just like the shape of a Tai Chi map, so it is also known as ”natural Tai Chi city” here.
Since the director did not reveal his intentions too much, he did n’t know much about the Chinese culture in the East. Few people on the helicopter knew the meaning of the viewfinder, but only felt that the scenery was beautiful. Harry-George of the camera asked, ”What does this mean?” Wang Yang, who also fastened his seat belt, stood next to the cabin door and looked down at the Tai Chi City, smiling, saying: ”Zhengxie, good and evil are like this Yin Yang. ... Continue shooting! Dive into the camera. ”
He wanted this Tai Chi City scene just to express the view of sublimating the whole Firefly, what kind of world is a beautiful world? The Tai Chi picture is one of the views: the complete good and the complete evil are inhuman.
This is actually involved in classic films such as ”The Orange” and ”Seven Deadly Sins”. Is it good or bad? Perhaps the coexistence of the two is human nature. Of course, people who do not understand Chinese culture will not know the meaning of Tai Chi at once, but he needs this.
In order to achieve the integration of Cowboy Ten East, his attempt was to be wild, the theme is unified but the mood is clear, and the scenes of the picture are all poetic, letting the character story go in; instead of making too many changes in the collection style, causing a deformity The fourth is not like birth. He wanted the feeling of being ”quiet if he was virgin, moving like a rabbit”. Tai Chi is a part of ”quiet” and a part of the East. Many things do not need to be explained, but it is put there and waiting for others to dig out.
It was already 4 years and August. After completing the framing work of Taiji City and the Loess Plateau in Shaanxi Province, Wang Yang continued to take the film crew to Zhangjiajie, Hunan to take pictures of the beautiful scenery. The filming of Firefly in China has caused many media fans doubts. What is the relationship between the western cowboys of the plains and deserts and the Chinese mountains and rivers with almost completely different flavors? The miraculous figure naturally attracted the attention of many Chinese entertainment media, hoping to get interviews to calm down the needs of fans.
However, this time I set foot in the land of China, not to promote visits or play. The work schedule of the crew was tight. Wang Yang had to rush back to take care of Jessica, so there was no interview, only an entertainment interview on NetEase.com. Fans say hello to Zhangjiajie. When he arrived in Zhangjiajie, he made an exclusive interview with the headline of the entertainment version of ”Xiaoxiang Morning News”. In fact, it had almost the same questions as NetEase.

What is the relationship between ”Firefly” and China is one of the must-have questions. In the coffee shop of Zhangjiajie Sunshine Hotel, the reporter Hou Jian who was responsible for this interview did just that.
”Yes,” Firefly ”will have a lot of Chinese elements.” Wang Yang nodded, lifted his coffee cup to take a sip, and continued to laugh and said, ”You will see Chinese characters, Chinese characters, etc. There will be less of the beauty we have shot now, including the mountains in Zhangjiajie will appear in the movie, but you may not recognize the specific ones, because we will also modify and synthesize later, and move those mountains to another. Planet earth. In fact, the whole story background is inseparable from Eastern culture. ”
”This should be your first attempt to add more Chinese elements to the directed film. Why is this? What does this change signal mean?” Hou Jian quickly recorded the answer of the big director and asked again There was a problem.
Wang Yang shrugged with a smile and chatted from the beginning: ”When I got the first edition of Joss-Weyden's script, he set it up like this. A Chinese and American culture influenced and merged with each other. The world. Joss Weiden and his wife have lived in China for a while. He likes to appreciate traditional Chinese culture. These oriental elements can make the story and the future world more mysterious. He is right, then this It ’s my strength, I like the story of the script, and there are many new ideas; Chinese culture needless to say, it fascinated me very early, so I ’m happy to do this experiment, it ’s really great. ”
”I know that” Firefly ”has set a lot of new records for you, with the highest production cost, the longest shooting time, and the largest number of participants ...” Hou Jian counted several records and asked Wang Yang: ”But at the same time, before you Carrying a lot of pressure and accusation, will ”Firefly” prove your film again? What do you think? ”Wang Yang immediately shook his head slightly:” I don't think so much now, I just want to make the movie well And have more time to spend with their family. ”
Thinking of the journey this year, he smiled again: ”But this time there is indeed more pressure, but only a small part of these pressures are from the outside voice; most of it is the movie itself, for me, It is unprecedentedly challenging. As for the record ... ”He laughed:” I hope it can continue to set more personal new records! The direction of large numbers is not the lowest. ”
”Haha!” Hou Jian also smiled for a while, looked at the book, and then asked: ”Not long ago, your wife Jessica Alba was too tired to suffer from acute nephritis and fell ill. Later it was said You completed the remaining martial arts shots for her, which is a topic that everyone cares about. ”
”Yeah, thank you all for your attention. She is recovering well now.” Wang Yang thanked and drank. Coffee, thinking of the hard martial arts shooting, laughed: ”I can't say substitution, I played another male role, just adjusted the proportion of the lens. I think this is also a Chinese element, everyone must go to the cinema next year Look, because I did play very well and cool, haha. ”
After doing a few more questions and answers on ”Firefly”, Hou Jian asked the necessary questions: ”The new film” Ambush in Ten Sides ”directed by Zhang Yimou was released on July 16th. During your time in China, you have to watch Have you ever? ”Wang Yang shook his head and replied:” No, the crew's schedule is relatively tight. I haven't seen it yet. But I know it is going to participate in the Toronto Film Festival next month. I will go to watch it. And Zhang Yimou is a Great director, his pictures are very beautiful. ”
”How is your impression of Hunan?” Hou Jian continued the necessary questions, and Wang Yang replied with praise: ”Hunan gives me the impression that it is very beautiful. It ’s a deep historical and cultural heritage. I have n’t seen it elsewhere, but Zhangjiajie is a very nice and charming city. ”
Space Cowboy! Not fresh enough? Plus the mysterious East! Just when the crew of ”Firefly” completed the framing of Zhangjiajie and was about to return to Los Angeles, its official website suddenly announced a detailed world background. The earth people immigrated to the new galaxy, China and the United States formed the Star Alliance government, the war broke out, and the independents were defeated. 3. The mysterious emergence of predators ”This time, because the propaganda work of the huge and complex flame film background did not follow the mysterious route of the” Ninth District ”, but it was widely advertised, which made more people impress and produce the background setting.

However, if you want to get more information about characters such as Riva, Blue Gloves, and more comic concept pictures, set stills, etc. on the official website, you still have to play some viral marketing games. This is also the enthusiasm to encourage fans. At present, Jessica Alba is the most popular, and the largest number of people participate in the unblocking Riva's viral marketing game; followed by Robert Downey Jr., Wang Yang, Heath Ledger, Michael Pitt and others. The difficulty of marketing games depending on popularity is naturally different.
And now the ”Cowboy + East” announced! Fans and fans finally understood why Chinese characters were printed on the Tranquility ship, and why they wanted to go to China to film the role of Wu Yanzu and even Wang Yang ... but they didn't understand, what is this? ”Shanghai Noon”? In the list of science fiction adventure movies, no space cowboys are found, nor can any space ten cowboys ten east. Even the media critics who wanted to sing him did not know where to start.
”It's so ridiculous and funny! Can you imagine how the rough cowboy was wearing a cheongsam? Heard that this was originally the idea of Jos-Weyden. He was a smart man who knew how to do what he wanted, and he was completely buried. The arrogant and arrogant miraculous. ”Jeffrey Westphoff ’s consistent style has been satirized in a timely manner on his blog, which attracted the fans and fans to click and scold. It's not that he laughed at him alone. Many online film critics who are temporarily under Yang Hei have moved a lot: ”It seems that Wang Yang is in a burning period.”, ”He is completely unclear about what he is doing.” ...
”Very exciting! This is a setting full of novelty and fun. I believe that Miracle Young will bring a big surprise.” Netizen Chris F commented on the official website in this way, most of the fan fans are interested, because the director is not who, It's the magical Yang of ”Everything will be done”. What happened to the cowboy? What's wrong with the East? They have confidence in Wang Yang! Foye J wrote: ”If you have a style like” Star Wars ”,” Interstellar Travel ”or even” Interstellar Gate ”, what's the point? At least the setting of” Firefly ”is very new and unique! Looking forward to seeing trailer”
No amount of data settings, concept maps and stills can compare with the visual appeal of a trailer. The wonderfulness of trailers and flowers has always been of great influence. However, the advance trailer of `` Firefly '' was not released so quickly.It is not the framing of Plum Blossom Forest. The crew has just officially finished. Obviously, the image engine team needs a long time to complete the special effects production. Wang Yang is already preparing. At the stage, detailed requirements were submitted and follow-up supervisors will be followed, but after leading the team to film for more than 4 months, we have ushered in the time of rest and vacation.
