The movie is a panacea for healing. " figure.
The sci-fi/fantasy blockbuster directed by Lu Chuan has been filming since 2018 and shut down in 2019. It was originally expected to be released in 2020, but the sudden epidemic has hindered the later period, and there is no new news. According to the
report, "Game 749" is still in the post-production stage, and there is a high probability that it will not be released in time for this year.
"The 749th Game" Director Lu Chuan's latest work after "The Nine-Story Demon Tower" (2015) , the currently announced cast includes Wang Junkai , Miao Miao , Zheng Kai , Li Chen , Xin Baiqing , Ren Min , Li Guangjie , Zhang Junning, Zhou Yiwei , Jin Shijia .
Sci-fi/fantasy + monster elements, plus the participation of well-known directors and actors, the overall sales of the film is quite good.
Male No. 1 Wang Junkai is a popular traffic player, Yi Yang Qianxi of the same group has gained countless in the past few years through " young you ", " gives you a little red flower " and "miracle stupid child" He has become a rare young actor with both traffic and acting skills, and is regarded as an important role in the Chinese film industry in the next decade.
And when Wang Junkai was selecting scripts and co-directors, we also saw his idea of transformation.
's "Broken Bridge" some time ago, "Homecoming" which is about to be released on National Day, and this "749 Game", it can be seen that he wants to achieve a breakthrough as an actor.
Director Lu Chuan also spent a lot of time looking for the actor Ma Shan, and finally chose Wang Junkai.
He thinks Wang Junkai is more powerful.
"A very down-to-earth boy next door, very shy, not good at speaking, very energetic, very fond of acting, wanting to be a good actor, and want to change."
"749 Bureau" is currently the only official behind-the-scenes photo
Lu Chuanhe When Wang Junkai talked about this movie, he frankly stated that the movie actually has many difficulties, but Wang Junkai said, "I want to change the director, so I am willing to bet with you", which also contributed to this cooperation.
Back to the film, "749 Bureau" is a new work by Lu Chuan after a long absence after "Nine-Story Demon Tower" in 2015.
Lu Chuan made many well-known films in his early years, such as " Hunting for Guns " we introduced before, " Hoh Xil " which tells the story of poaching in no-man's land, even the polarized " Nanjing Nanjing ", There are also many fans who support it.
but since commercialization andAfter the stylized and dislocated " King's Feast ", Lu Chuan encountered a lot of film reputation crisis.
's "749 rounds" this time is also a film that many fans are very concerned about. It can be said that it is the key to his reputation.
This is a near-future movie with an adventure and fantasy theme. It tells the story of the 749th round of the supernatural phenomenon Research Institute. It will involve some juvenile adventures and growth plots, as well as monsters, disasters and other science fiction elements.
is set in the film, a city encountered a large-scale disaster, blockade, evacuation, wearing masks and other real-world events that happened later in the film also appeared in the film. The protagonist and the soldiers of "749 rounds" must face this disaster .
"749 innings" started a long time ago.
According to Lu Chuan, after the filming of "The King's Feast" at the end of 2011, the script for "749 Bureaus" began to be prepared.
Later, the "Nine-Layered Demon Pagoda" project came in, and Lu Chuan incorporated some of the stories from the 749th round into the "Nine-Layered Demon Pagoda".
For the first time, many fans knew that the 749th round was also through "Nine-Story Demon Tower". In the
movie, it is a secret institution that studies visions and human supernatural powers in various places. We also saw the plot based on Zhang Baosheng, the "qigong master" in the 80s.
In fact, "749 Bureau" is not a fabricated organization, it is a personal experience from director Lu Chuan.
In the two years between graduating from the Nanjing People's Liberation Army Relations Institute and taking the postgraduate entrance examination of the Beijing Film Directing Department, he was assigned to work in a place code-named the 749 Bureau. The codename
"749" is said to be taken from the group's founding date in September 1974.
This is a research institute specializing in the study of paranormal phenomena, and employees working in this bureau must sign a nondisclosure agreement .
"Nine-Layered Demon Tower" title
At that time, Lu Chuan was in charge of arranging files in Bureau 749, and he also came into contact with some eye-opening people and things from his brother unit. He once sighed in an interview, "I can't believe China Someone is actually researching this thing."
Speaking of which, this 749 round is a bit like the S.H.I.E.L.D. in Marvel's "Reunion", superpowers, unnatural forces...
Of course, Lu Chuan did not write out the story of the 749 rounds he actually experienced. The film and reality "overlapped less than 1%", and the timeline of the film was also put into the future 2030.
The biological special effects
filmed "749 Rounds" because Lu Chuan wanted to try it as a high-concept genre film.
Due to the large amount of visual effects involved, the special effects team of "749" also invited Hollywood, , Australia and other foreign teams to join.
Most of them will extract elements from real life, such as the monster image in the movie, will be based on Anatomy , to design according to the body structure of the creature.
In July 2020, Lu Chuan posted a picture on social media. We also saw the general appearance of the monster in the concept material.
The cost of producing a medium-sized sci-fi film will be several times higher than that of an ordinary feature film. Pre-shooting is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and post-production special effects are even more expensive.
"749 rounds" has not yet been finalized, because the special effects production is difficult to complete. For example, Lu Chuan revealed that the climactic scene at the end of the film "is composed of five or six action paragraphs, and the workload in the later stage is huge and very difficult."
Looking back on 2018 at the beginning of the project, it happened to be the year when the film and television industry began to experience a cold period. Many film and television companies were faced with huge difficulties in their operations.
"749 Bureau" went well in the early stage of financing, but during the epidemic in 2020, 4 of the 6 investors had problems with their funds, and one of the listed companies went bankrupt. When the film
first started filming, some areas had to be "downgraded" due to funding problems, and there was a certain amount of compression from setting to serving.
In addition, action scenes, disaster scenes and other money-burning scenes should also be considered.
After the new funds came in and the filming was successfully completed, there was a problem with the huge later costs. In order to deal with the immediate difficulties, Lu Chuan's own company paid 30 million in advance. During the period of
, he made commercials and micro-movies for many brands, including participating in variety shows such as " Actors Please Be Here 2" and "I Am Actor 3". In fact, they were all funded for the later stage of "749 Innings". money.
To a certain extent, the behind-the-scenes story of Lu Chuan's filming of "749 Innings" is a story in itself. I hope this twists and turns will be preserved in the future through documentaries.
Finally, I hope the post-production of "749 Innings" can be successfully completed, and I look forward to the arrival of the first trailer of the film.
