Orange Studio is a special effects studio established by Gilbert Jr., although it was not as early as the Industrial Light and Magic digital field.
However, since its establishment, it has developed rapidly, and has produced a large number of films with excellent special effects, and has won the Oscar for Best Visual Effects four times.
Now Orange Studio has become one of the best Hollywood special effects companies, and the technology here is the most stringent.
Guo Fan obviously also understands that the core of the special effects industry is technology,
In fact, whether it is Industrial Light and Magic or Orange Studio, there are actually many technical engineers who are Chinese.
This is very similar to the current Silicon Valley model. White executives, Chinese engineers, and a small number of Indians constitute today's Silicon Valley.
As for other races, it’s not that they are not smart. But they cannot gain a foothold in Silicon Valley without the identity of white people, nor the intelligence and diligence of Chinese people.
It is already quite surprising that Indians can have a place in Silicon Valley, with blacks and Latinos almost extinct in Silicon Valley.
Guo Fan obviously understands the importance of technical talents, but with the current domestic conditions, it is obviously impossible to attract these high-end talents to return to develop.
After getting the green card, who wants to go back? Everyone is a loyal defender of the free world.
As for whether you are free or not, what freedom is, only they know.
Back to the production of "Inception", when Jibert Jr. communicated with the team, he said "Inception" was his 007 movie.
Although this is true, "Inception" is obviously closer to a stealing film like "Eleven Arhat".
A careful analysis of "Eleven Arhats" will reveal that although this movie tells the audience about the prop production and general action process, it conceals the plan and details of the entire action.
When a certain point in time is reached, the video will stop receiving information, and then as a bystander, keep the sense of freshness, and then the puzzle will be revealed.
In fact, "The Eleven Arhats" and even subsequent films basically have this idea, and it is also a common trick for stealing films.
But "Inception" is not the same way. Don't look at Jibert, the little one added the dream setting, is actually a mysterious method to disrupt the audience's sight.
All stealing movies have an ultimate goal, to steal something or a file, or someone.
"Inception" is unique. It uses the dream thing to play a trick, which is to implant ideas.
I'm not here to steal the trade secrets in your mind, but to change or even make you have an idea, and this kind of creativity is cool.
In terms of the plot, "Inception" did not hide it from the audience anymore, but instead allowed the audience to participate.
The audience will see how the protagonist team will make plans and plans in detail, and this process will also give the audience a sense of participation.
And where does the dramatic conflict come from? There is no doubt that it is the protagonist Cobb himself. The train, and his deceased wife, Mel, are potential threats brought by Cobb.
Does Cobb know the potential dangers he brings? He knew, but he buried these secrets in his heart.
So the film needs a sufficient motivation to provide Cobb with action, and if it is for money, it is obviously unnecessary to take such a big risk.
So the focus is on home and children. This is the most simple and clichéd emotion, but it is also the most effective emotion.
After a long preparation period, "Inception" finally started filming in early September. However, the first scene in the film was Mombasa, which was filmed in Morocco.
This is a chase scene similar to Chenglong's fighting style. Although Li Zi is not good at action scenes, she still looks quite good after several months of training.
Perhaps it was to maintain the weight of middle-aged men. Although I had been training, Little Lizi's belly did not lose much.
So when filming a scene passing through the alley, he got stuck.
"Hey! Help, I'm stuck." Little Lizi shouted for help.
Several staff members hurried over and rescued the stuck Li Zi. Little Gibert looked at Little Little Zi's embarrassing appearance and joked: "Mr. Cobb, are you a little too fat?"
Little Lizi said speechless: "Who was complaining about the fact that I was a little thin before the filming started. Unlike a middle-aged man, do you want to eat more?"
"It must not be me, are you?"
"It's not me..."
After some jokes, Jibert Jr. said, "Actually, this design is good. Cobb walked through an alley. There were pursuers behind him, and Cobb was stuck again.
A simple and exciting dramatic conflict was created in this way. ”
"I think too," said Li Zi, "We'll do another one later."
During the second shooting, Little Li was not stuck in it this time and successfully escaped.
After the scenes in Morocco ended, the crew switched to Paris to film the outdoor scenes in Paris, including the scenes of the cafe explosion.
Because a lot of experiments were done in advance, it was not difficult for the crew to shoot. But the important question is how to ensure the safety of the two actors and not let them be injured.
No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!
Assistant director Anne Burton proposed to use a stand-in instead, but Little Little opposes.
"I worked with Jibert Jr. to Save Private Ryan. I know his style and don't need a substitute."
A first-tier brand like Little Little Little has personally taken the game. Although Alan Paige is a girl, he is embarrassed to use a substitute and has also taken the game himself.
In order to stabilize the mentality of the two actors and complete the performance, Jibert Jr. also gave psychological counseling to the two.
"You have also seen the experiment before, our stunts looked safe and sound. Believe me, this will not be very dangerous. As long as you sit down and don't move around, there will be no problem."
Little Lizi was still in the mood to joke: "Little Jibert, you said I was bombed, how much can I pay for insurance?"
Jibert Jr. smiled and said, "I don't think the insurance will be compensated, they will announce that they have withdrawn the insurance."
The hell joke about North American insurance business also successfully amused Alan Paige who was still nervous.
Relax and the performance is easy to complete. Although the crew blocked the shooting block, enthusiastic fans still saw the shooting scene in various ways.
Fortunately, the pixels of video recordings are not very high these days, otherwise the materials will be flying all over the sky when they are posted online.
In fact, it doesn’t matter if it is revealed. Although this part of the explosive scene is a real shot, it must be supplemented with special effects to be more perfect.
Moreover, these Reuters videos can be used as material for film promotion to attract the attention of movie fans.
In addition to the cafe explosion scene, Paris's outdoor scene is also a scene with two mirrors, forming an infinite scene.
This part is also a combination of real-life films and special effects. The crew completed the scene on the Eiffel Tower in Paris and the iron bridge of the Seine River.
The two large mirrors alone weigh 2.5 tons, and they were trembling when transported. Because it still needs to be moved, the mirror must be fixed.
Otherwise, it would be a trivial matter if the mirror collapsed and it would be a mess, and it would be bad if Little Little Little Zi and Alan Pegg were smashed.
The other scenes are not difficult. The crew spent about a week in Paris and ended the Paris outdoor scene and transferred to Shanghai for filming.
According to Jibert Jr.'s idea, he was to finish all the outdoor scenes first, and then film the remaining scenes in the studio.
Going out of the site has always been a very troublesome thing, and it is much more troublesome than shooting in a studio. (This chapter ends)
