Chapter 268: A Leather Case of 1 Million
After preliminary preparations, "Ultraman Jack" was officially launched at the end of February.
As the opening drama of Pengda and the third work of the Ultraman series, Jack's launch conference was very lively. Media reporters from all over the world competed to interview the crew members.
First of all, the director!
As the biggest "star" in the whole crew, the most popular among reporters must be Meng Lang, don't think about it at all.
Followed by Yao Bin!
As a newcomer, he served as the male protagonist in his first TV work, and he still has a high degree of attention in the "Ultraman" series, which reminds people of Wang Fei last year.
Do you need to say how popular Wang Fei is now?
For this reason, there are quite a few reporters who interview Yao Bin. Even the producer and "supporting actor" Wang Kui has a lot of long guns and short cannons aimed at him.
Humble heroine, no one cares.
Shen Xingxia cast envious eyes at Yao Bin, and felt a feeling of "the same people don't have the same fate".
Is the heroine so humble?
Although it is recognized as a "straight man" play, Ultraman is not Kamen Rider, and the presence of the heroine is not low. Why does everyone pay attention to Yao Bin, but no one cares about her?
This seems to be different from the previous work!
Let's not talk about the first generation of Tao Mi, it was a popular idol. Severn's Polish beauty is also a rookie actor, but she has not been treated coldly......
This result was expected by Meng Lang.
When the reporter dispersed and caught a glimpse of Shen Xingxia's lonely eyes, Meng Lang stepped forward and encouraged: "This is normal! The entertainment industry is very realistic, you are not famous, and you are not even as good as a dog in the eyes of others." It won't be the same when you get out of the mix!"
Except for being good-looking!
For example, after the heroine of Severn, a beautiful Polish girl, appeared in Poland, she could easily attract the attention of media reporters with her outstanding appearance.
Shen Xingxia can't do it......
Although there are works, they are all supporting roles and fail to impress the audience. In terms of appearance, in the entertainment industry, it can only be regarded as below average, neither beautiful nor ugly.
That's it, don't think too much!
Serious acting is king!
Disperse the crowd of onlookers, Meng Lang beckoned the crew to prepare and began filming the content of the first episode of "Ultraman Jack".
As a unit drama, step-by-step is the truth of filming, and chaotic shooting is more suitable for serial dramas.
According to the "step-by-step" approach, today's task is mainly to shoot a holster fight scene.
The scene is "the city riverbank"!
After the erection of each camera and the warm-up of the two holster actors, with the assistance of the field staff, they began to put on the holsters.
They are Zazan and Tegon!
Zazan's holster resembles a "auspicious suit", and after putting it on, he steps into a knee-deep "pool", and begins to "massage" each other with the ball-like "Tegon".
Although it is a monster fighting each other, it is not a pure "shrew fight", and there are professional martial arts fingers to correct the action at all times.
"Mr. Meng, Tegong is down!"
"Call me Director Meng! Quickly help him up......"
Tegon's holster is too "anti-human", because it is a round sphere, coupled with short limbs, it is easy for the holster actor to lose his balance and fall after wearing it.
Not to mention fighting in the water!
Often fighting, Tegun fell......
Meng Lang is also very strange, you said that Tegong has such a strange body structure, although Zazan is ugly, but he has sound limbs and "auspicious clothes", why can't he beat it?
Zazan is still "fighting at home"!
Meng Lang, who couldn't figure it out, simply didn't think about this problem, and beckoned the photographer to move the camera and get close to the "bridge" model.
A classic scene is coming soon!
The two silly monsters were fighting, and Zazan sat on the bridge.
In the script, the bridge "collapsed with the trend"!
But in practice...... The quality of the model was still wide, and Zazan sat on it, and the bridge shook only slightly, not collapsed.
The atmosphere was awkward!
The prop master squatted down in pain with his head in his hands, and "Zazan" rubbed his little hands aggrievedly, Tegong uh, Tegon fell again......
Finally helped Tegong up, Meng Lang left the monitor, walked to the model bridge and squatted, stretched out his hand and pinched it.
Foam board indeed!
It's just that the bridge structure is stable, and the glue used at the connection is relatively good, so it didn't break when I sat down.
"Alas, let's do it again!"
Meng Lang sighed, and couldn't help but worry about the company's future. As the boss, he is also desperate to have such a group of funny employees!
You say you have the ability, how good it would be to be a bridge engineer!
The second shot went much smoother, and the holster actor deliberately used a little force to successfully collapse the bridge.
"Take a break and get ready for the plane!"
Next, it's time to shoot the scene where the MAT team appears and uses fighters to attack monsters. For the filming of this scene, a model fighter was used.
The transparent silk thread tows the fighter plane over the sides of the monster, and the tail has a special design that can spray colorful smoke.
The light of the fighter needs post-production special effects, but the sparks and explosion effects on the monster need to use your brain.
Fortunately, enough experience has been accumulated before, the crew is well prepared, and the monster's holster is equipped with a special "explosive device".
This device is controlled by the prop master and triggered at a specific time, using the chemical reaction of "potassium nitrate", "phosphorus", and "oxygen".
Safety can be guaranteed!
Because this situation was considered when the holster was made, the holster actor could be properly protected and the holster would not ignite easily.
Of course, there are risks!
The risk is mainly that the holster will be ignited by a spark, causing the holster to burn and endanger the holster actor. For this, it can only be said that it is not a big problem.
After all, so many people watched the scene, even if the holster burned, the holster actor could be rescued as soon as possible.
At the beginning of the shooting, as the fighter flew by, the effect of sparks flying on the holster popped up, and the holster actor reached out and patted it, and the sparks disappeared.
Perfect!
Later, if you get the emission effect of the fighter ray, this section is completed!
"Good work! Let's eat first!"
Seeing that the time was not early, the canteen also sent a "love box lunch". Meng Lang asked everyone to eat and rest first, and then filmed the rivalry between Xiang Xiushu and the three Tian siblings in the afternoon.
As a director, Meng Lang did not engage in special treatment, and chose to eat a boxed lunch with the actors. Despite his boxed lunches, there is always more meat than others......
Wang Kui was greedy, and took advantage of Mr. Meng's engrossed stare at the monitor, and secretly sandwiched a large piece of fat.
Someone started, and soon someone imitated it! Lao Li said that the super bracelet was broken, Meng Lang went to check it, and when he came back, his face was black.
A box full of meat, only rice!
Before he could find out the meat thief, Ma Teng took Bai Cang to visit the class.
Bai Cang held his head high, took out his carefully prepared "50" page complete plan, and applied for a budget of 30 million.
Meng Lang took a sip of rice, flipped through the project and asked, "Do you need so much?"
"Holster budget 1 million?!"
Meng Langren looked stupid, this is probably the most extravagant holster he has ever seen. The cost is about the same as a spacesuit, so aren't you here to be funny?
