Movie tidbits of Santa Claus 3

The box office income of filming Santa Claus was $65.438+$400 million. Although "Santa Claus 2" did not expand successfully, it also achieved a proud result of $6543.8+300 million ... Disney expects the third film to be released during the holiday.

The "escape clause" used to be the subtitle of Santa Claus 2, but it was later omitted and introduced directly as the title, and now it has become the subtitle of the third episode.

George S. Clinton wrote the music for the film George S. Clinton, and he did the same for the second film.

The English name of the number one villain, White Killer, means "severe cold".

About the film

A holiday magic movie is specially made to create a holiday atmosphere.

Although 1994' s Santa Claus and 2002' s Santa Claus 2 were both successful, tim allen, the protagonist of Disney Company, really hesitated when he wanted to play Santa Claus in a costume weighing 75 pounds for the third time. However, his good wish of "bringing joy to children" finally conquered Allen. As a comedian, when 1994 first appeared as "Santa Claus" in the film, he firmly grasped the audience's heart with humor, and people hoped to continue to see his story about "Santa Claus". And his participation effectively ensured that the third episode was as successful as the first two episodes. Director michael lembeck also praised tim allen: "When he put on his costume, he totally devoted himself to the play. It seems that he is not performing, but has really become a lovely grandfather who distributes blessings during the festival. "

In the third episode, the story focuses on the "inner contradiction" of the greatest man in the world. The already huge "Santa Claus" family has further expanded, and he needs to face heavy double responsibilities: first, to maintain peace at home; The second is to prevent the white killer from waiting for an opportunity-the emergence of new characters in this new story has brought more pressure to Santa Claus. Finally, when Santa Claus and Jack switch places, you will see how "different" the world Jack runs-believe me, that's not what you want.

Unlike tim allen, director michael lembeck didn't direct the first film made by 1994, but he brought a brand-new concept to the film in his own way: "When I make a film, I'm not sure whether it will really be accepted and liked by the audience, but if you are sincere, you can convey it to others through images." The most interesting thing in the new episode is that the ex-wife of Santa Claus took her husband and daughter to the North Pole for the first time. There is also a particularly commendable story hidden here, which expresses a very positive message: for modern families, it is very important for children that divorced couples can still find a suitable way to get along under the same roof.

Walk into the shooting scene

The film started shooting at Doni Film Studio in June+10, 2005. There are beautiful tree-lined streets with 17 different styles of buildings on both sides, rows of pine trees and artificial snow on the roadside. It looks like a place outside Chicago ... this is the shooting scene of Santa Claus 3, a place full of laughter, because there are

The main job of these children is to play the elves around Santa Claus, and when the story develops to the third episode, there are about 23 kinds of elves, from architectural elves to yoga elves-many of which did not appear in the first two episodes. These hundreds of children, ranging in age from 6 to 12, were carefully selected by director michael lembeck from 5,000 photos. Most of them have no performance experience, because Lebeck thinks that fresh faces can bring fresh breath and infinite enthusiasm, just like real Arctic elves.

Finally, Lebeck selected 500 people from 5,000 people and set up a huge lounge in a warehouse with an area of about 20,000 square feet in Doni Studio. The staff likes to call it the "Elf House", where these little actors and their parents rest.

Usually, children will arrive at the shooting scene in the early morning accompanied by their parents. Nine art assistants are in charge of their makeup work, guiding them to put on 40 different fairy hair covers and uniform clothes, and providing temporary training for these children. The "Elf House" has eight very large classrooms, which are specially prepared for their study. Each classroom is named after a reindeer. However, before putting on makeup, the little actors who play elves will take their elf ears from the 64-foot-high wall, and it takes 15 minutes for each pair to put them on ... At the same time, every child should put on makeup and costumes before shooting. Although all 500 extras don't need to appear in the camera when shooting, 300 are needed every working day.

Facing so many children, Director michael lembeck is not only well trained, but also compassionate. Sometimes, he is more like a school instructor than a director on the set. Although it is very difficult to shoot scenes with children involved, and ng times are more than usual, Lebeck always patiently teaches children how to do it over and over again and never gets angry. He can even name every little extras to make them as relaxed as possible.

Compared with the painful makeup process that young actors have to face every day, adult actors are no exception. The hardest thing is tim allen, who spends four hours every day "dressing up" himself and becoming "Santa Claus": first, he should "wash his face" before wearing a mask; Then, the soft foam rubber is fixed on the face with glue; Finally, the edges are modified to make the fake skin closer to the real skin color of Allen. The beard, eyebrows and hair of "Santa Claus" are all made of human hair and yak hair, and they look real.

Aspect: Colored paper is dancing in the shaking crystal ball, and thick snow covers the roof. Although there is still more than one month before 65438+February 25, the Christmas that is expected for one year is slowly being prepared. Because Christmas is coming, there is always a fat uncle with a red and white beard in the picture. 12 years ago, Disney gave Santa a surprise, and it didn't take much effort. Merry Christmas and madness took away1450,000 dollars. Eight years later, Santa Claus gave him a punch to find a wife, and the box office performed better.

Disney will naturally not let go of this Christmas cash cow, call back the original team, let Santa meet his parents-in-law, and then trick him into losing his job. With the help of Christmas stalls, uncle white beard, who is completely cartoonized and humanized, can burn the money in many viewers' pockets. The director of Friends, with family warmth, mild jokes, Christmas atmosphere, and the face of the comedy hero tim allen, made up his mind to grab the wallet of the old beauty in the battle of Santa Claus vs Frogman before Christmas, and enjoyed it by the whole family!
