Stories behind The Wandering Earth 2 | 揭秘《流浪地球2》创作幕后

　　"The Wandering Earth 2" became a film of great significance during this year's Spring Festival. A number of sci-fi scenes from the movie, including the space elevator and the nuclear explosion on the Moon, are currently hot topics among netizens. Zhang Linke, the chief cinematographer, was interviewed by Changjiang Daily to reveal the story behind the scenes.

　　今年春节，《流浪地球2》成为备受关注的电影作品。太空电梯、月球核爆等一系列科幻场景成为网友热议的话题。太空电梯是如何拍出来的？电影首席摄影师张麟科接受了长江日报的采访，揭秘幕后故事。

　　Before shooting, Zhang pondered the story from his own perspective and explored the settings in his imagination, thus envisioning a complete visual world from an artistic angle.

　　张麟科说，开拍之前，他会从自己的视角去看待这个电影故事，扩展想象空间，从艺术层面形成一个完整的视觉空间去构思。

　　He said that the space elevator scenes were created in two stages: the early shooting and the later special effects. It was a complex process, which took two months to finish. "There are many light and shadow structures in different scenes, each with multiple changes. For each change, we needed to switch from one to another," he explained.

　　据他介绍，太空电梯由前期拍摄和后期特效两部分完成，前后拍摄耗时2个月，整个拍摄的过程非常复杂。他解释道：”不同的场景中有很多的光影结构。光影存在多重变化，每拍一个不同的层次，我们就需要做不同的切换。”

　　To achieve better visual effects, Zhang consulted a large number of Hollywood films related to outer space, and specially watched the live broadcast of Shenzhou-13. He saw a very genuine space and its light and shadow composition. His team also reviewed some astronomical data. Zhang remarked that these preparations were of great help to the overall scene design.

　　为了实现更好的视觉效果，张麟科看了大量好莱坞涉及太空的影片，专门观看神舟十三号现场直播，看到了非常真实的太空状态和光影结构。除此之外，团队还查阅了一些天文资料。张麟科表示，这些准备对整体镜头设计有很大帮助。

　　Zhang was also the cinematographer of "The Wandering Earth," the first movie. He said with emotion that when shooting that movie seven years ago, various difficulties had to be overcome. However, when it came to "The Wandering Earth 2," many pieces of advanced photographic equipment, such as the first Titan telescopic arm in Asia which was designed by Mark Roberts Motion Control Company (MRMC), and the world's top diving photography equipment, were used. "All the confidence and proficiency in film-making demonstrate the rapid development of China's film industry!" he said.

　　不仅《流浪地球2》，张麟科还是《流浪地球1》的摄影师。他感叹，拍摄《流浪地球1》时，时常需要在克服拍摄上的各种困难。但是7年后再次拍摄《流浪地球2》时，团队采用了很多先进的摄影设备，比如说马克罗伯茨运动控制公司(MRMC)设计的亚洲首台Titan运动控制机械臂、全世界顶级的潜水摄影装备等。他笑着说：”这些底气和得心应手也证明了中国电影业的迅猛发展！”
