Entertainment: Start with Succubus and play Hollywood

When Janice walked out of the cinema holding Franco Close’s arm, both of them had red eyes.

Along the way, many people asked them how the movie was.

This time, Franco Klos said nothing.

Janis said excitedly:”It’s great, it’s great. You must watch the 3D version. It won’t disappoint you.”

When a movie can conquer the heart of an audience who once dismissed it, then the box office A big sale is already a given.

In the three days of the first weekend, the box office of this movie was US$33.63 million, US$46.72 million, and US$34.28 million respectively, with a total box office of US$114 million.

While it’s not a record-breaking number, the numbers are daunting, especially among peers with upcoming movies around the same time.

At the same time, the road show promotion of”Gravity” has also begun.

Leonardo was a guest star, and he had nothing to do with the road show originally, but after the box office came out on the first weekend, Martin gave him a big red envelope, well, a big red envelope.

So he also volunteered to participate in the road show promotion.

Even Martin himself has appeared on several programs with the creative team

“……In order to capture the weightless state of space when the Earth’s gravity is normal, We 860 and members of the props team tried almost all traditional shooting methods – including shooting in deep water, using wire suspension, and using the ‘vomit comet’ (a An aircraft cabin-like device that rises and falls suddenly causing instant weightlessness)……But each one makes me feel like something is missing.”

“I have to admit I was a little naive as I thought making something like this would be a lot easier than I thought. It wasn’t until we started experimenting with traditional techniques that I realized that in order to achieve the effect I needed, we needed to create something completely new.”

“Well, after constant experiments, my team of experts and I finally designed a unique 12-wire device that connects 12 electromagnetic wires to 12 electromagnetic points on the protagonist’s body, and invited the world’s top puppet master, Yes, it was the puppet master who operated this device, turning the protagonists into puppets, and finally achieved the pioneering feat of using 12 lines to form a magnetic mesh to float Jessica and Leonardo in the air.……”

Martin talked freely and talked about the difficulties encountered during filming.

Some of them are true and some are false.

Martin knows that people like to hear these stories, and these stories of success overcoming many difficulties are more touching.

Jessica continued Martin’s words:”This is really an unprecedented experience.

You have to completely abandon your original ideas and methods.

It is like reading from a script.

You are mechanically told every little finger and your body How the part had to be performed, but your head, your brain, your heart and your emotions were all blank.

So, my body had to perform mechanically.

They would ask me if I wanted water, and then I Reach out slowly, without even thinking.

You have to get used to the state of body first and emotion second.

”

Leonardo said:”I have practiced yoga for a long time in order to play this role well. , oh, I also threw up during the weightless training in Houston, which Jessica did better than me. But then I also found a way to listen to classical music, yes, listening to classical music, which made me The relaxation of the body, combined with the body control brought by yoga, can help me achieve the best condition.”

Martin then talked about 3D:”With the popularization of 3D technology, more and more films have appeared in the movie market. The more 3D movies there are, although there are some movies you’d rather see in 2D. Gravity is also a 3D movie, but I didn’t put the movie in 3D just to have things fly into the audience’s faces. …We try to make the audience subtly feel that they are also on this journey.”

“In fact, all technology serves the film itself. I think so. For actors and filmmakers, the most important thing is the inner world of the character. For example, the female astronaut played by Jessica contains most of my metaphors.”

“There is a constant visual angle in the movie-that is, the Earth is such a beautiful place suitable for human habitation, and floating above is a woman who has been cut off from any contact with the Earth. We wanted to explore the deeper meaning of a heroine who is suspended in the void, harmed by inertia, and far away from the earth on which humans live, struggling to survive in space.”

“In addition to the state of ‘weightlessness’, how to express ‘cosmic light’ is also one of the key issues we have to challenge during the shooting process. Although 60% of”Gravity” uses CG (computer special effects) to create the background, there are still many shots that are real scenes. Therefore, how to shoot a universe that can be seamlessly connected with computer special effects scenes requires very high lighting requirements.”

“In the end, my team members and I invented a unique lighting device – a light box that is 6.7 meters high and 3.3 meters wide. The interior of the light box consists of 196 panels, each approximately 70 centimeters long, equipped with 4096 LED bulbs that can project any desired light or color. The magic of this light box is that it can simulate sunrise and sunset, the natural process of day and night, the light of different environments, and even the Northern Lights over the North Pole.”

“In order to be able to shoot freely in this light box, my team and I also developed a robot that can shoot from any angle. Moreover, the camera installed on the robot can also be synchronized with the help of the computer and the lights on the tilting device platform, which allows us to move the universe around the actor at any time, thus creating the visual effect of the protagonist moving in the universe.”

“For example, when filming the scene where Jessica descends to the space station, she can see the space station getting closer and closer to her in the light box. I might ask her to look at something on a certain screen or ask her to reach out and grab something. Doorknob, even though there was no doorknob on set, at least the actors could see what it looked like on the screen”

“Of course, the picture displayed on the inner wall of the light box is still relatively rough. I can see the fusion of the actors and the space background on the monitor. When the movie is in post-production, all backgrounds will be rendered through post-CG, which will look more real and more realistic to the audience. Like being in space or a space capsule.”

When asked about the Chinese elements that appeared many times in the film, Martin responded like this:

“I am not doing this purely to please the Chinese audience, but because now only the United States, Russia, and China have or have had their own space stations. Although the effect of this setting of the film is unexpected (“Gravity” has a very high box office in China), it is also a reasonable story.”
