The stone trough is located in the middle of Dalian Laohutan Scenic Area and Bangchuidao Scenic Area, it is said that it is quite remote here in the past, only fishing, people who catch the sea will come here, I heard that there have been many accidents, the reason is that this side is a cliff, once the tide rises, people have no time to escape.

Get off the bus from the Binhai Road, walk along a winding, undulating gravel road to the back hill of the stone trough, and you will see that "Qiu Zhuang" is built on the top of two mountain cliffs. The two Harry Potter School of Witchcraft and Wizardry-style buildings face each other across the sea from east to west, and are connected by an iron bridge in the middle.

"Not bad, not bad. ”

He Xinte is satisfied, this is the advantage of the original team, which is exactly the same as Qiu Zhuang in the original version of "The Wind" in his memory.

"Huh!"

It wasn't until he reached the bridge that he found that the entire bridge was originally made of wood, painted with a layer of silver paint with a metallic sheen, and the rivets on the railings were glued to plastic, and the bridge deck was paved with iron plates. If you don't look closely, you really think it's a steel structure. Afraid that it will not be strong, the bridge is supported by dense steel mold scaffolding.

"Yes, it's the most cost-effective. Lao Gao didn't say anything at first, until He Xin found out by himself, and then he smiled proudly.

"Good!

As long as he can save money, He Xin is naturally full of praise.

In fact, the two buildings are not as majestic as in the original movie, they look a bit small, and in order to save the maximum cost, only a silhouette was built, or a temporary building, which will be demolished after the film is finished.

After crossing the bridge, a platform was built next to the building to the east, where the gang of people ate and then the lame veteran came to pass on the information.

The entire wooden platform is about 150 square meters, and He Xin noticed that the platform is built with old anticorrosive wood, which is very detailed. Then I walked along the stone road for a few dozen meters, and I saw more than a dozen fake graves built on the space on the right side of the road, all of which were made of styrofoam and gypsum powder.

"It's best to shoot the exterior here first, because it's cold when it's late, and it's a temporary building for a long time. Lao Gao also took special care.

"This is no problem, Director Xu Ke didn't say that it will be run in the studio now, and it will be pulled over when the run-in is over. He Xindao.

After going around and returning to the platform, Lao Gao held a digital DV and filmed non-stop at all angles of the two towers. He Xin leaned on the railing and looked into the distance, and could see several small islands in the distance, and beyond that, it was boundless, with the sea breeze whistling in his ears and the waves crashing against the reef under his feet.

"It's beautiful!"

"I've heard from the locals that the water here is the cleanest and there is a lot of seafood. Xiao Lu Zi introduced on the side.

From the beginning of the procedures to the time of construction, he was the busiest, and he was also the most familiar with the situation here. He also pointed to a path in the pine forest next to him: "This road used to lead to the bottom of the cliff, but then it was blocked because of many accidents. ”

He Xin suddenly remembered and asked, "By the way, will anyone see that we have built it here?"

He looked at the wooden bridge supported by the steel mold and the two towers that looked a little overhanging, and he was a little worried that if something happened, he would be in trouble.

Xiao Lu Zi hurriedly pointed to the temporary shed next to the building in the west and said, "There are people, and they live over there." Brother, don't worry. They built the house here, and they still have the final payment, and they have to be responsible for demolishing it after the shooting, which is very attentive!"

Only then did he nod, if he was not afraid of anything else in filming, he was afraid of accidents. Not long ago, when the Huayi brothers were filming "The Leader" in Yunnan, they accidentally blew up a pyrotechnician and injured them; last year, when Wu Yusen was filming "Red Cliff", he burned a staff member to death because of a fire and injured several others. The frequent accidents also made him have to pay more attention.

"It's hard to get it here!"

After Lao Gao took a shot, he looked worried.

"What's wrong, what's the problem?"

"I've seen the storyboard script drawn by director Xu Ke, and he is going to shoot from the top of the air to shoot a panoramic view of Qiu Zhuang, and it is better to have a big panorama when eating. You can't even drive a crane in here, how can you shoot it?" Lao Gao frowned and looked around.

In these years, aerial overhead shooting, large panoramas, basically use a large crane to lift the camera into the air to shoot, which is very difficult, and the lens is difficult to control. When he first filmed "Wuji" and "The Ballad of Yunshui", He Xin had seen that it often took half a day to toss a shot, sometimes even a few days, which was time-consuming and laborious!

Otherwise, rent an airplane for aerial photography, which is not only expensive, more difficult, and more dangerous. The key Lao Gao said that when Director Xu Ke filmed the panorama of Qiuzhuang, it was still a night scene, that is, when the gang was escorted to Qiuzhuang at night, they took a big panoramic view from the air. In this case, you can't even use an airplane.

"What then?"

Although Xu Ke's idea is a bit whimsical, it is really shocking to think about the picture that will be presented at that time, and there is such a scene in the original version in He Xin's memory.

"Well, I heard Lao Chen say that Hollywood has professional equipment for aerial shooting, and there are many aerial shots in "Transformers" that are shot from the top of the air with this kind of professional equipment, and they have a special shooting team like this......" Lao Gao hesitated.

"Isn't it expensive?"

As soon as He Xin heard about Hollywood, professional equipment, and a special shooting team, he knew that it might be sky-high. Lao Mei relies on her advanced science and technology, whether it is selling weapons, medicines, or anything, it is this virtue.

"I just listened to what Lao Chen said, and it may not be accurate. They're measured by the hour, like an hour costs thousands of dollars!"

"A few thousand dollars?"

He Xin was taken aback, although the RMB has appreciated in the past two years, a few thousand US dollars are still equivalent to tens of thousands of RMB, which is only an hour's price. Love books

Although Lao Gao's statement may not be accurate, this statement came out of Chen Guofu's mouth, which should be reliable, after all, he has been in the Chinese branch of Columbia for several years, and he still has contacts with the United States.

"If we invite some Hollywood professional team here to come and shoot it, how much time will it take?" He Xin asked busily.

"The night scenes, the daytime shots, and the big panorama during the meal, I guess it will take me two or three days to do anything. ”

"Two or three days? That's at least twenty hours, how much are the thousands of dollars you just said?"

A thousand is a thousand, nine thousand is a thousand, and there is a difference of 108,000 miles in between!

"It's five or six thousand! But not only here, Director Xu Ke also means that the footage of the Double Ten Celebration should also use the big panorama, if you count it together, it is estimated that there is no two or three hundred thousand US dollars that can't be paid. And if they come all the way from the United States to shoot here, the price may be a little more expensive. ”

Lao Gao said while still peeking at He Xin, after all, this is not a small amount, if it is converted into RMB, the cost will exceed several million at once.

"Tsk!"

He Xin came back to his senses at this time, looked at Lao Gao and said, "Brother Gao, shouldn't you have discussed with Old Monster Xu a long time ago, and fooled me with me?"

"What do you mean by fooling? Just say it, is the effect of this shooting good?" Lao Gao simply tore off the disguise of his shy answer and went straight to the point.

"Uh......"

The original version in He Xin's memory seems to have this kind of overhead panoramic shot, and the effect is indeed different. Since it's a blockbuster, there must be this kind of big production. And he also clearly remembers that there is a plane flying over the entire map of China in the clouds at the beginning of the film, which is synthesized with computer stunts, commonly known as CG technology, which is also a lot of money.

But if you don't have these shots, of course, you can shoot, then if the visual effect is poor, it is not a star, and it can even be said that it is shabby and featureless, then it is not a blockbuster.

"No, what kind of equipment is the professional equipment of the Hollywood professional team you just mentioned?" He Xin was distressed about money on the one hand, and on the other hand, he couldn't understand what advanced technology Lao Mei had mastered.

"This ......"

Lao Gao was stunned for a moment, thought about it and said: "I can't say what the specifics are, I just heard Lao Chen say that it seems to be the kind of remote-controlled, a bit like a model airplane, but this kind of aircraft can not only mount a camera, it is said that it is also very stable, and the shooting effect is very good, so ......"

"Isn't that a drone!" He Xin blurted out after listening to Lao Gao's description.

"Drone, hey, the image you are talking about, that's what it's all about! Relying on remote control, it is said that the picture can be transmitted back in real time, if the shooting is not good, you can adjust the angle at any time to continue shooting, you don't have to take back the machine like we used to use a big crane to see, no, and then put the machine on the rack and shoot again, toss!" Lao Gao said busily.

"This drone...... Don't we have one in China?" He Xin muttered, and he was inevitably a little surprised.

"How can we have such advanced things in our country!"

"No, no, I think it should be possible by now. ”

UAVs are simply too familiar to him, and they will be sold on the Internet in later generations, thousands of dollars each.

Although he hasn't bought or played with it, he really knows a lot about drones. The reason is that the old street where his family lived in his previous life was to be renovated, and he specially invited the design institute of the provincial capital to design it.

At that time, two young people came, and they took aerial photography on the street with drones. At that time, he knew nothing about this thing, and he watched the excitement on the side, and saw that the picture taken on the drone could be transmitted to the mobile phone, and he thought that this advanced drone was imported.

Later, I learned that the original one who made this kind of drone is the most advanced in China, and the boss who made this kind of Dajiang drone is their fellow townsman in Zhejiang, and it is by relying on this world-leading drone that in just a few years, there are tens of billions of net worth.

Later, when the two young people were buying water and resting in his shop, they also boasted to him. He only remembered that the Hangzhou guy who invented and made the world's leading Dajiang drone was called Xiao Wang, who was still a post-80s generation, and it seemed that he had already opened a factory in Shenzhen a few years ago.

Ask the professional team of Hollywood to ask for millions, if Xiao Wang has made this kind of drone now, it will definitely save a lot.

Thinking of this, He Xin hurriedly called Xiao Luzi over and said, "In this way, you hurry up and go to Shenzhen and find a way to inquire if there is a kind of drone called Dajiang." Remember to inquire carefully, the production of such drones may now be only a small factory. Oh yes, their boss is called Xiao Wang, and he is from Hangzhou. ”

Xiao Lu Zi was a little stunned when he heard this, and said with a difficult face: "Brother, Shenzhen is so big, how do you ask me to inquire about this?"

"Drones are a novelty now, and you should be able to find out. Remember that the boss's name is Xiao Wang, and their brand is called Dajiang. Anyway, if you want to find a way, you must inquire and ask them if they have drones that can do aerial photography. If we find them, we may be able to save millions, do you know?" He Xin said with a glare.

"Ah, brother, do you mean that they can replace the professional team in Hollywood?" Xiao Luzi was startled.

"I don't know if it can replace it now, but first I have to find the factory of Dajiang and find Xiao Wang!"

Xiao Lu Zi nodded hurriedly and said, "Understand! Brother, then I will go over tomorrow, and find a way to find this factory in Dajiang and find Xiao Wang." ”

Lao Gao was stunned when he listened to it, college students like them in the eighties were full of yearning for Lao Mei. Hearing what He Xin said, he said suspiciously: "Ah Xin, do you mean that the Hollywood team has this kind of professional equipment for aerial photography, and we already have it in China?"

"Whether there is one, I'm not sure yet, I have to let Lu Xiao find someone. After all, it's a matter of millions of dollars in and out, try your luck, what if there is?"
