It's a pity that after the filming of the shipwreck scene, the whole crew was in a very strange state, and they couldn't maintain the previous shooting rhythm at all, even the most capable actors encountered NG one after another, and Luo Yuan never found the feeling he needed, which made him very distressed.

Before that, he knew that the shipwreck scene was difficult to film.

But he didn't expect that the shipwreck scene would be difficult to shoot to such a point, and it seemed that it was difficult for the actors to grasp the feeling between life and death, because most of them had never experienced that kind of life and death, maybe the professional-level performance according to the script could make up for some lack of authenticity, but Luo Yuan still wanted to do better, or hoped that everyone would act more realistically and be more able to infect the audience, and in such a state of mind, after two weeks of futile shooting, Luo Yuan finally understood-

The shipwreck scene is not something that can be filmed immediately.

Luo Yuan, including the entire crew, needed to brew a feeling, the feeling of being at the scene of the shipwreck, so Luo Yuan decided to take the crew to the ocean to find the place where the Pearl sank to salvage the wreckage, although it had been too many years since the Pearl sank at this time.

The crew naturally followed Luo Yuan's decision.

After the license, Luo Yuan's film crew used a deep-sea survey ship independently developed by Huaxia to conduct many diving studies on the wreck, and got close to the wreckage of the Pearl, the whole crew was greatly shocked, when Luo Yuan and some of the main actors returned to the supply ship from the bottom of the sea, they all sighed for a long time, in this process, not only Luo Yuan really felt the Pearl and found the mental process of feeling, but also the opportunity for many actors to better understand the background of the story and touch the story, they vaguely understood what Luo Yuan needed was what it was like。

Of course, it's not just about getting up close.

In the movie "Pearl", it is also necessary to show a few shots of the wreckage of the underwater Pearl, which requires underwater photography, fortunately, today's technology can completely overcome this difficulty, and finally a special company has developed a black technology camera that is enough to deal with this kind of scene at the request of Luo Yuan-

Rao so, the beginning of underwater shooting still did not go well.

Luo Yuan strictly followed the requirements of the storyboard to shoot the required picture, but the picture was not satisfactory, after the second dive, Luo Yuan rearranged the shooting ideas, he gave up the practice of looking for the picture according to the storyboard, and began to look for those touching things, in the last two dives, they used a remote control device to bring the camera into the interior of the wreckage of the giant ship, which had never been done before, and the results obtained made Luo Yuan excited, those who had seen the scene in the photo:

The window lattices, fireplaces, and crystal chandeliers are all in sight!

Trench coats, glasses, mahogany furniture crack repair!

Although all this has been rusted in the twilight, it is still elegant and noble, once a first-class luxurious bedroom, is now a place for crabs to live, Luo Yuan almost saw these pictures, and decided to adopt them, so that they appeared in the movie, the close-up of the wreck and the simple shots, from this real pearl, itself is an extremely meaningful thing.

It's not a special effect.

It is a giant ship that has been silent for more than half a century.

And this will also be the first time that the world has seen the inside of this undersea wreck through Luo Yuan's lens, until the end of this link, Luo Yuan began to take the crew to shoot the real shipwreck scene, this time, most of the actors can give Luo Yuan the feeling he needs, a few are still not so transparent, Luo Yuan is not in a hurry, give them enough time to ponder, all the actors present are acting, no one is a rotten wood that cannot be carved.

How to make the giant ship sink into the water?

This is a big problem that needs to be solved in the filming of "Pearl", no one has ever raised and lowered the scene of several floors high before, Luo Yuan ordered someone to make a hydraulic lifter, which was first used in the No. 2 studio to shoot the sinking scene of the first-class restaurant.

The chassis of the first-class restaurant scene is housed on top of the lifter.

The elevator is controlled by pulleys, just like the elevator lifting, the scene rises and falls with the lifting of the hydraulic roof, and when this technology was successfully applied to the filming of the restaurant, "Pearl" transplanted it to the big ship in the bay, and the big ship in the bay is actually composed of three separate parts, and the weight is similar to the scene of the restaurant.

After all, it took more than half a year to prepare.

Ninety percent of these technical problems were overcome in advance by Luo Yuan, and according to the requirements of the plot, the broken hull could eventually drop to a depth of about ten meters and be completely submerged by the water.

It is worth mentioning ......

The tilt of the model ship is only six degrees.

Zhang Wei shot with an oblique camera to make the ship look more tilted, Luo Yuan also prepared to modify the sea level for the oblique lens afterwards to keep the water surface level, as for the footage of some survivors struggling in the water after the Pearl sank, it was taken in a pool with a relatively shallow water level in the studio-

At this point, the hardest part is not the acting part.

The real difficulty is that people have limited tolerance and can't stay in cold water for a long time, you know, it's January now, it's no longer a hot summer, and although the pool can be heated, the hot water will emit steam that affects the sense of reality, so the water temperature in the pool, although not as cold and biting as the real seawater, is also quite low.

The film crew had some volunteers who experienced the temperature in the water.

If they feel that they can't hold on, it means that the actor is also difficult to persevere, so they have to shout to stop, which leads to the fact that many actors have the idea of a stand-in, but Ye Daoming and other teachers resolutely refused to use a stand-in and jumped directly into the water, which made other big names who wanted to use a stand-in secretly grit their teeth and decided to fight too, anyway, after filming for so many years, the hardships they have endured are not at all imaginable by ordinary people.

Even......

Another actor said, let me perform in colder water, so that I can realistically play the cold feeling, and the crew took this suggestion and tried to shoot in colder water, but after about three or four shots, they changed their tune:

Get me out of this icy water!

I know how to perform cold feelings!

Well, the person who said this sentence is an actor in the United States who claims to be very able to endure hardships and likes to experience life very much, even he can't hold on, let alone others, and for the film crew, the camera in the water should be filmed for two weeks, not two or three days......

Shot.

It's in full swing.
