Among them, the known ones include:
1. When directors Carl and Ann Law Hero just landed on Skull Island, they filmed a group of scenes where they were sitting on the rocks screaming.
2. When King Kong was bombarded by guns all over new york, the soldiers of the army once "rescued" Ann from the beast, but Ann ran back to King Kong. ...
Young Howard: There is nothing in common between Ann Law Hero and June Havoc except that they are jugglers. One of them lives in the fictional movie world and the other in the real world. However, the screenwriters Filipa Boynes and Francis Welsh borrowed a lot of June Havoc's performance characteristics and personality characteristics in order to make the heroes of Ann Law more vivid. There is also a joke-like detail in the film: the romantic and funny stage play created by playwright Jack, played by Adrian Brody, is called Crying Haworth. "King Kong" was set in the Great Depression in 1930s, so June Havoc, who was in his early twenties at that time, was still a little actor who couldn't even fill his stomach.
Fayri Fei You: Although Fei You, a Canadian actress, has performed more than 50 female roles in her life, and also appeared in The Wedding March by the famous director erich von SteRaaheim, her most striking and unforgettable role is Ann, the screaming queen in the original 1933 King Kong. Peter Jackson wanted Fei You to make a guest appearance in the new version of King Kong, and the last line of the movie "Beauty Kill the Beast" belonged to her ... However, Fei Xiaotong died in August 2004 at the age of 96-the film had not started yet, so this line finally became.
Green screen green screen technology: "Green screen technology" is nothing new in 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 finished all the shooting work in the studio with a green knitted curtain in the background. This all-green environment will be filled with CGI in post-production to complete the geographical environment at that time. Similarly, there is "blue screen technology", but because its edge with characters is very rough, it is often only used as an alternative. For naomi watts, who plays the hero of Ann Law, the most difficult part is Skull Island. Take the scene where she saw bugs in the rotting trunk. Peter Jackson only told her where there were bugs. As for size and shape, Watts can only perform by imagination. ...
Tribute: From King Kong, you can see the shadows of many other classic old films. This is Peter Jackson's tribute to those early Hollywood sci-fi directors. In this way, Jackson's most far-reaching influence is Steven Allan Spielberg's Dinosaur; In addition, he stole two tricks from James Cameron's Alien series and Titanic. Finally, Jackson blended into the classic scenes in Disney's Bambi, where they 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, which were simply carved in the same mold.
I am on top of the world: a song from Al Jolson's album released in the 1920s was used by Peter Jackson at the beginning of King Kong. He used a cheerful melody to show the world the desperate life in Manhattan during the Great Depression. The song enters the lyrical part, subtly predicting that King Kong, who sits on the Empire State Building at the top of the world, is doomed to fall.
Vaudeville: A trick used by the heroes of Ann Law to appease the irascible King Kong. Because naomi watts is not from a circus, there is nothing in her prosthetic hand-CGI technicians will synthesize pebbles later.
Kong's kindred King Kong's home: In King Kong's lair, there are several huge white bones scattered at random-those are the bones of other members of the King Kong family. What Peter Jackson wants to express is the memory of the living for the dead: There are other giant orangutans on Skull Island, which may be 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 2004, Peter Jackson just won the Oscar for Best Director for The Lord of the Rings III: The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King. As a reward, he went to the hospital for eye laser surgery and officially bid farewell to myopia. In addition, during the filming of King Kong, Jackson also lost 70 pounds of fat.
Carnivorous mollusk: The name comes from the nickname of a painter in Vita Studio ... but its disgusting appearance is completely imaginary. There is no such creature in the real world: soft, sticky liquid, slow-moving, once attacked the chef on board in a deep pit. In addition, artists have given this creature more disgusting physiological functions: no eyes, no face, and the outer skin of the head can shrink to reveal a mouth full of teeth.
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, combined with the pronunciation characteristics of African, Asian, Maori and Polynesian languages, and then sprayed their skin with an evil alternative color-black, thus bringing out the modern aborigines of Skull Island. Jackson's original intention is 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 sacrifice, specific dance movements, costumes and impressive max steiner music.
Orson welles orson welles: He once produced the radio drama "War of the World" on 1938, which caused great panic among the audience. He also lost Hollywood because of Citizen Kane by 194 1-but what does he have to do with King Kong? In fact, Wilson is Carl, the film director in Jack Black. It is not that Blake borrowed some of Wilson's habitual language actions, but that 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.
Fashion: The round bell-shaped soft hat worn by Ann Law Hero at the beginning of the film was popular in new york in 1930s. Almost every young woman would have at least one hat, which showed the unique feminine flavor during the Great Depression.
Quasimodo hunchback of Notre Dame: King Kong's face should be ugly and dignified. The artists who created Skull Island endowed King Kong with "dignity" with big and small eyes, big nose and crooked mouth according to Charles Laughton's role as hunchback quasimodo of Notre Dame in 1939. King Kong climbed the Empire State Building to seek refuge, which coincided with quasimodo's taking Notre Dame Bell Tower as his own comfort zone.
Rat and Monkey: When you see a cage with the words "Sumatran Rat and Monkey" hanging in the cargo hold of SS Adventure in King Kong, it feels like an Englishman Huo (the captain of SS Adventure) walked into another film directed by Peter Jackson ... Sumatran Rat and Monkey was once kept in the New Zealand Zoo in Jackson's "The Dead".
Howard Shore Shore: howard shore Shore, who won an Oscar for his excellent soundtrack of the The Lord of the Rings series, finally quit the cast two months before the film was released, because he and Peter Jackson had irretrievable differences in the style and music of King Kong. He was replaced by James Newton Howard, who won six Oscar nominations ... However, Howard Shore agreed to keep his image as a guest conductor in King Kong.
Time to go to the toilet: It is common to prepare a large can of Coca-Cola when watching movies, so you may often encounter embarrassing things that you really want to go to the toilet, but you are afraid to miss the highlights ... And a movie like King Kong, which lasts for more than three hours, is testing the capacity and endurance of your bladder. So there is an accurate "toilet time", you can jump up and rush to the bathroom to solve your personal problems, because missing it will not affect your mood of watching movies.
35 minutes: Ann and Jack start to discuss the script and flirt with each other ... You have ten minutes before you arrive at Skull Island.
10 1 min: The big bug on Skull Island makes its debut ... then you can get ready to leave, because there will be a boring conversation time, about two minutes.
1 14 minutes: besieged by all kinds of bugs ... for four minutes, I rushed into the toilet this time, probably not because of internal urgency, but because of nausea.
139 minutes: Jack is engrossed in the stage play he wrote ... but you have to hurry, because in two minutes, the prelude to the King Kong Fury in Manhattan will begin.
Universal Pictures Universal Pictures: You must have noticed that when the background in the film turned to Times Square, a huge neon sign "Universal Pictures" appeared. You might laugh when you saw this, thinking that Universal Pictures advertised in its own films, but it was not like this. According to Joe Letteri, a special effects artist, at 1933, this should have been the advertising space of Columbia Company, but Columbia Company did not allow them to use their own logo unless they paid for it ... so he had to fill in "universal pictures" with CGI instead.
Verb (abbreviation of verb) Tyrannosaurus Rex Upgrade Tyrannosaurus Rex: The evolution of life on Skull Island is endless, so the Tyrannosaurus Rex in the 1933 version of King Kong upgraded Peter Jackson into a bigger and scarier beast-Universal Pictures gave it a new name "V. Rex". However, no one told Jackson and Vita's work partners, so they were behind the scenes.
Telegraph deadline: It was not until the autumn of 2005 that Universal Pictures decided to show King Kong in the cinema for three hours-40 minutes more than originally planned. This made the post-production of the film very busy. The special effects team of Vita Studio worked around the clock, and some even brought sleeping bags into the office. When the last two CGI shots were finished, the calendar had turned to165438+1October 28th ... There were only two days left before the media screening of the film.
Christmas lights Christmas lights: Central Park is decorated with flashing holiday lights, accompanying King Kong and Ann Law Hero to play on the frozen pond ... After filming this 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 struggling on the slippery ice.
Yeah, that's right. It doesn't explain why a monster like King Kong didn't crush the thin ice in the pond. The moment Ann Law Hero saw King Kong, she was wearing only a sleeveless low-cut white dress in sub-zero weather. Why didn't her frozen lips turn purple and she didn't breathe white? 1933 in the original, was King Kong really dragged back to new york by that seemingly weak cargo ship (the remake didn't explain how King Kong was brought back to new york)? For this, Peter Jackson insisted on the correctness of the original. He and his staff have done experiments and think that this will not make him feel any discomfort for King Kong's thick skin.
Ze Mikis, Robert Robert Zemeckis: He is the producer of Peter Jackson's 1996 comedy The Scarer. This failed work almost destroyed Jackson's newly established Vita studio. When the studio was out of funds, Ze Mikis hired him to make the computer special effects part of Contact 1997. Without the timely help of Ze Mikis, Vita Studio will only face the fate of dissolution, and naturally there will be no more The Lord of the Rings series and King Kong. Long live Ze Mikis!
