< King Kong > What lenses have been added to the extended version?

More than 3 CGI shots have been cut out-they will be the best materials for the extended DVD

Among them, the known ones include:

1. When directors Carl and Ann Darrow just boarded "Skull Island", they used cameras to shoot a group of scenes of sitting on a rock screaming;

2. When King Kong was bombarded all over the city in new york, the soldiers of the army once "rescued" Ann from the wild beast, but Ann ran back to King Kong herself ...

Early Havoc's young Hawok: Ann Darrow and Joan Hawok are not alike except that they are jugglers. They live in a fictional movie world. But screenwriters Filipa Boynes and Francis Welsh borrowed a lot of June Havoc's performance characteristics and personality characteristics in order to make Ann Darrow more vivid. There is also a joke-like little detail in the film: the romantic and funny stage play created by playwright Jack played by Adrian Brody is called "Weeping Haworth". "King Kong" was set during the Great Depression in 193s, so June Havoc, who was in his early twenties at that time, was still a little actor who could not even fill his stomach.

Faywray Fei Worry: Although Canadian actress Fei Worry has interpreted more than 5 female characters in her life, and has also appeared in The Wedding March by the famous director erich von stroheim, her most striking and unforgettable role is Ann Darrow, the "screaming queen" in the original 1933 King Kong. Peter Jackson wanted Fei Worry to make a guest appearance in the new version of King Kong, and the last line in the film "Beauty killed the beast" belonged to her ... However, Fei Worry died in August 24 at the age of 96-the film had not yet started shooting, so this line finally became Jack Black's.

green screens green screen technology: "green screen technology" is nothing new to Hollywood now, but films like King Kong, which are all shot in front of the "green screen", are rare. The artists of Vita Studio created two places that did not exist at all: new york and Skull Island during the Great Depression. The actors completed all the shooting work in the studio, and the background was a green knitted curtain. This all-green environment will be filled with CGI in post-production to complete the geographical environment at that time. In the same way, there is the "blue screen technology", but it is often only used as an alternative because its edge with characters is very rough. For Naomi Watts, who plays Ann Darrow, the most difficult part is the Skull Island. Take the scene where she sees bugs in the rotting trunk. Peter Jackson only tells her where there are bugs. As for the size and shape, Watts can only perform by imagination ...

Homages: From King Kong, you can see the shadows of many other classic films. This is Peter Jackson. In this way, Jackson's most far-reaching influence is Steven Spielberg's dinosaur; In addition, he stole two tricks from James Cameron's Alien series and Titanic. Finally, Jackson incorporated the classic scenes from Disney's Bambi, which glided on the frozen water of the pond-but these scenes were not as good as the original King Kong, from the story background to the dialogue to King Kong vs. dinosaurs, and they were carved in the same mold.

I'm sitting on top of the world I'm sitting on top of the world: A song from Al Jolson's album released in the 192s was used by Peter Jackson in the beginning of King Kong. With the cheerful melody, he showed the world the desperate life in Manhattan during the Great Depression. When the song entered the lyrical part, it subtly predicted King Kong sitting on the "top of the world" Empire State Building.

Juggling juggling: It's a little trick used by Ann Darrow to appease the irascible King Kong. Because Naomi Watts is not from a circus, there is nothing in her fake hands-CGI technicians will synthesize pebbles later.

Kong's Kin King Kong's House: In King Kong's nest, there are several pairs of huge white bones strewn at random-those are the remains of other members of the King Kong family. What Peter Jackson wants to express is a kind of memory of the dead by the living: there are other giant orangutans on Skull Island, which may have been King Kong's parents, grandparents, brothers and sisters ... But now, King Kong is the last blood of this once huge family.

laser surgery: In early 24, Peter Jackson just won the Oscar for Best Director for The Lord of the Rings III: The Return of the King. As a reward, he went to the hospital for laser surgery on his eyes and officially bid farewell to myopia. In addition, during the filming of King Kong, Jackson also lost 7 pounds of fat. < p p>·Meat-Weasel carnivorous mollusk: The name comes from the nickname of a painter in Vita's studio ... But its disgusting appearance is entirely based on imagination. There is no such creature in the real world: soft, covered with viscous liquid, slow-moving, and once attacked the chef on board in a deep pit. In addition, the artists also gave this creature more disgusting physiological functions: no eyes, no face, and the outer skin of the head can be retracted to reveal the mouth full of teeth.

Natives aborigines: In the original King Kong, the aborigines on Skull Island are ridiculous. At first glance, they are imitating an indigenous tribe in Africa. In the new edition, Peter Jackson described them as savages with primitive savage temperament and red eyes like blood, combined with the pronunciation characteristics of African, Asian, Maori and Polynesian languages, and then sprayed their skin with the evil alternative color-black, thus the modern indigenous people of Skull Island were freshly baked. Jackson's original intention was simple. He didn't want to cause some unnecessary ethnic disputes because of the appearance of these aborigines. In addition, Jackson continued other descriptions of aborigines in the original book: sacrificial ceremonies requiring human sacrifices, specific dance movements, costumes and impressive Max Steiner music.

Orson Welles orson welles: He once caused great panic among the audience because of his radio drama War of the Worlds in 1938, and also puzzled and even lost Hollywood because of Citizen Kane in 1941-but what does he have to do with King Kong? In fact, Wilson is Jack Black's film director Carl. It's not that Blake borrowed some of Wilson's habitual language actions, but he captured Wilson's soul as a director: reckless and reckless, and he could tell a big lie in order to attract sponsorship and investment.

the fashion of the p>·Period Fashion: the round bell-shaped bonnet worn by Ann Darrow at the beginning of the film was all the rage in new york in the 193s, and almost every young woman would have at least one, showing a unique feminine atmosphere during the Great Depression.

Quasimodo hunchback of notre dame: King Kong's face should be ugly and dignified. The artists who created Skull Island gave King Kong the "respect" with big eyes, big nose and crooked mouth according to Charles Laughton's role as hunchback of notre dame Quasimodo in The Hunchback of Notre Dame in 1939. And King Kong climbed to the Empire State Building to seek refuge, which coincides with Quasimodo's taking the bell tower of Notre Dame as his own comfort zone.

rat monkey: when you saw a cage with the words "Sumatran rat monkey" in the cargo hold of SS Adventure in King Kong, it felt like English Huo (the captain of SS Adventure) walked into another film directed by Peter Jackson ... Sumatran rat monkey was once locked in Jackson's "Group of corpses playing the world".

Shore, Howard: howard shore, who won an Oscar for his excellent soundtrack of The Lord of the Rings series, finally quit the cast two months before the film was released because of irretrievable differences with Peter Jackson in the style and music of King Kong. He was replaced by james newton howard, who was nominated for six Oscars ... However, howard shore agreed to keep his image as a guest conductor in King Kong.

Toilet Breaks Toilet time: It is common to prepare a large can of Coca-Cola when watching a movie, so you may often encounter embarrassing things that you are eager to go to the toilet, but you are afraid of missing the highlights ... And a movie like King Kong, which lasts more than three hours, is testing the capacity and endurance of your bladder. Therefore, there is an accurate "toilet time", so you can jump up and rush to the bathroom to solve your personal problems, because missing them will not affect your viewing mood.

35 minutes: Ann and Jack cut to flirting with each other by discussing the script ... You have ten minutes before reaching Skull Island.

11 minutes: The big bug on Skull Island makes its first appearance ... At this time, you can be ready to leave, because there will be a boring dialogue time, which will last for two minutes.

at p>114 minutes, I was besieged by all kinds of worms ... for four minutes. This time, I rushed into the toilet not because of internal urgency, but because I felt sick.

at p>139 minutes, Jack looks vaguely at the stage play written by himself ... but you have to hurry up, because in two minutes, the prelude to King Kong's big fight in Manhattan begins.

Universal Pictures Universal Picture: You must have noticed that when the background in the film turned to Times Square, a huge "Universal Picture" neon billboard appeared-you might laugh when you saw this and think that Universal Picture was advertising in the film he released, but it was not like this. According to Joe Letteri, a special effects artist, in 1933, it was supposed to be the advertising space of Columbia Company, but Columbia Company didn't allow them to use their own logo unless they paid for it … so he had to use CGI to fill in "Universal Picture" as a substitute.

V. rex upgraded Tyrannosaurus Rex: The evolution of life on Skull Island is endless, so T. rex in the 1933 version of King Kong upgraded Peter Jackson into a bigger and scarier beast-Universal Picture gave it a new name "V.rex". However, no one told Jackson and Vita's work partners, so they explained the interview behind the scenes.

wire deadline: It was not until the autumn of 25 that Universal Picture decided to show King Kong in the theater for three hours-4 minutes longer than originally planned. This made the post-production of the film so busy that the special effects team of Vita Studio worked day and night, and some people even brought sleeping bags into the office. When the last two CGI shots were finished, the calendar had been turned to November 28th ... There were only less than two days left before the media screening of the film.

xmas lights Christmas lights: The central park is decorated with flashing holiday lights, accompanying King Kong and Ann Darrow to play on the frozen pond ... After filming this part of the scene, Naomi Watts has finished all the filming, and she has packed her bags and is ready to go home. But King Kong's "real" andy serkis suddenly had a brainwave, and persuaded Peter Jackson to remake a series of scenes of King Kong running on the streets of new york, because Serkis felt that running on the streets covered with a layer of Bo Xue should be like being difficult on the slippery ice.

yeah, right can't explain why a monster like King Kong didn't crush the thin ice in the pond? At the moment when Ann Darrow met King Kong, in the weather below zero, she was only wearing a sleeveless low-cut white dress. Why didn't her frozen lips turn purple or exhaled white breath? In the original work in 1933, was King Kong really dragged back to new york by the cargo ship that looked weak (the remake did not explain how King Kong was brought back to new york)? For this, Peter Jackson insisted on the correctness of the original work. He and his staff had done experiments and thought that for King Kong's thick skin, this practice would not make him feel any uncomfortable.

zemeckis, Robert Robert Zemeckis: He worked as a producer for Peter Jackson's 1996 comedy The Frighteners. This failed work almost destroyed Jackson's newly established Vita Studio. When the studio had no funds to run, Ze Mikis hired him to produce the computer special effects part of Contact in 1997. Without Ze Mikis's timely help, Vita Studio would only face the fate of dissolution, and naturally there would be no The Lord of the Rings series and King Kong. Long live Ze Mikis!
