Chen Kaige built a city for filming a movie at a cost of 1.2 billion. What happens now?

From "Jing Ke Assassins the King of Qin" to "The Legend of the Demon Cat", Chen Kaige has more than once built real-life palaces, buildings or streets for the presentation of movie scenes. In fact, in terms of shooting techniques, you can also make a normal set, or find a similar palace at the Hengdian Film and Television Base for close-up shooting, or let the actors use green cloth as the background and add special effects later. In short, there are many ways to present the picture, but Chen Kaige chose It is the most immersive way to build a project, and it is also the most immersive way for the audience.

Chen Kaige spent 1.2 billion to build the magnificent Qin Palace in "Jing Ke Assassins the King of Qin". He moved the Qin Palace in his mind from his mind to the ground. The Qin Dynasty has a long history and there are no remaining historical relics to be tested. By consulting historical materials, he built the Qin Palace that he felt was consistent with the historical basis brick by brick. Built.

The pavilions and pavilions of each palace are as close to history as possible, and the carved beams and painted buildings show the domineering power of the palace. No matter how you switch between far and near scenes, the long years of the Qin Empire are extremely realistically presented. It was really done to perfection for the sake of the movie.

Also in preparation for the filming of "The Legend of the Demon Cat", Chen Kaige spent six years building a Tang Dynasty city in Xiangyang. He also turned the prosperous Tang Dynasty in his heart into reality. Therefore, in "Legend of the Demon Cat" we see the noisy and crowded streets and the magnificent and prosperous palace real scenes, the audience is also immersed in it, and as the camera changes, they can experience the love affairs of the Tang Dynasty.

Director Chen Kaige has been criticized by actors he has worked with for being a strict director. From the fact that he shoots the real-life effects of the movie, it can be seen that his professionalism in treating movies is worthy of his reputation and glory. Even when participating in variety shows, he sincerely analyzes the characteristics of the characters for young actors, so that the actors can accurately capture the inspiration for acting. As a well-known director overseas, I sincerely feel that Director Chen is doing his own little bit for the future of Chinese cinema.

Some people may ask whether it is too extravagant and wasteful to spend 1.2 billion to build real-life scenes to make a movie? So the editor will answer with facts. The Qin Palace in "Jing Ke Assassins the King of Qin" is now used as the Qin Dynasty palace complex in Hengdian Film and Television Base. The first function is for other film crews to shoot film and television dramas. The second function is for foreign tourism as a tourist attraction. Now the annual ticket revenue is 1 billion.

So when you come to Hengdian, why don’t you use your steps to measure the Qin Empire in Director Chen’s heart? See the colorful palaces and pavilions in front of you, and touch the blue bricks and tiles with your hands? Feel the war-torn years.
