Chapter 389: Convincing People with Virtue

Get the contract and start filming officially.

On the first day, Ding Cheng took off his clothes and put on a suspension suit tailored for himself, which brought out the explosive power of his originally strong muscles.

"Most of the underwater footage was shot in a wet and dry way. Wen Ziren watched as Ding Cheng was wearing an ultra-complex levitation costume made by the stunt department, and then connected to different equipment, he could do all kinds of spinning movements, as if he was really in the water.

"You need to do a non-physical performance......"

"Create in your brain the feeling of being in the deep sea......"

It is worthy of Hollywood, Ding Cheng didn't expect to use unprecedented special effects to create the illusion of being in the water as soon as he came up, and the filming process requires the actors to conceive all the expressions and details all the time, which is indeed a big challenge.

Seeing that Ding Cheng quickly adapted to the state, Wen Ziren said with anticipation: "For me, I have never made a movie that requires so much CGI technology, so I am also gradually learning." ”

This level is not much pressure for himself, Ding Cheng found his state and asked Wen Ziren: "How to express the sound underwater?"

"Just speak normally. Wen Ziren said casually: "Try not to think too much about this aspect, because Atlanteans grow underwater, although they look like us and have some characteristics of us humans, but their body structure will be different." ”

"For example, when they speak, there are no bubbles coming out of their mouths because there is no air in their lungs. In terms of sound design, we tried to find a feeling of being underwater in their dialogue, and also in their body movements underwater. ”

"For example, they will be very fast and elegant like dolphins in the water, which is something I want to highlight through the visual and sound design coordination. ”

"In the later stage, the whole sound department will move all kinds of props around the pool to record the different sounds that come out, as well as the sound of explosions in the water......"

Ding Cheng nodded secretly, he was really professional, and finally realized what is called Hollywood's mature film industry system.

From day one, both the special effects supervisor, the sound supervisor, and even the post-foley engineer were involved, providing a wide range of professional advice from the start of the shoot.

According to their words, many key points are flashed away, and how much money you miss will not be made up for later.

"Any idea why I took this movie?"

"I've never played a mermaid warrior!"

When I saw Nicole Kidman, I really didn't look old, especially my figure, and when I put on tights, I was no worse than a little girl.

Wen Ziren arranged all the camera positions and said to Ding Cheng: "You have experience in action movies, help design some handsome fights?"

Ding Cheng saw that the other party was very sincere, smiled and nodded in agreement, this kind of thing is not the first time, since it is cooperation, then contribute more.

After communicating with the director in detail, today is a 360-degree action scene surround shooting, in addition to allowing the actors' action scenes to be shot from different angles, it is also very difficult to have high technical requirements for various complex designs and positions.

In addition to the parallel orbital movement of the camera, there are also many angle shifts and up-and-down shifts, and with the movement of the camera and the coordination between the characters, Wen Ziren hopes to use these elements to make the sense of space established in the film more visible.

At the same time, the one-shot shooting technique also makes the visual experience of this scene more smooth and natural than the different cuts of multiple lens positions, and with his own unique martial arts style, it gives the audience a refreshing look.

"Great!"

Wen Ziren looked at Ding Cheng's excellent and precise performance, and said excitedly: "It's perfect!"

Nicole Kidman couldn't help but applaud next to her, she had heard of this young Chinese actor before she came, known as the hottest box office star in Southeast Asia.

It's still amazing to actually meet, whether it's the muscles or the acting, especially the action, it's radiant.

After the filming of this scene, Ding Cheng obviously felt the dedication from the team, to say that foreigners are also very simple, as long as you are professional enough, people will be convinced.

Next is a variety of wet muscles to show off, makeup for almost an hour every day, and I also deeply understand what Hollywood professional quality is.

The actor doesn't have to worry about anything,

As long as it can meet the requirements of the director,

Others have the help of a variety of professionals.

After more than half a month, the whole context of the story is a little clearer, and in my opinion, the best advantage of this work is definitely the first to recommend the colorful marine world setting.

There have always been very few science fiction works that can show the unknown underwater civilization head-on, and even fewer are well shot. This time, Wen Ziren not only filmed it, but also full of weight, and directly threw it to the audience The Seven Kingdoms Smash Bros.

This is not a gimmicky concept, but a real construction of this fictional world: the old ruins of the ancient Seven Kings Oath, Atlantis with a sense of futuristic science fiction and ancient history, the Trench Kingdom with its simple and rough atmosphere, the Saltwater Kingdom and the Fisherman's Kingdom full of strange visions, and the lost world where the legendary sea monster Kuraken guards the Trident......

For example, in addition to marine life, there are also many shipwrecks and containers on the seabed, which together form a colorful sea light and shadow, which also reflects the attitude of marine and land civilizations to build a new world.

All the depictions of intelligent creatures underwater are also convincing, because all swim, not walk!

All the demeanor makes the audience clearly feel the underwater resistance, and all the actors have to tighten this string in their heads. If the range of action is large, there are obvious water currents and bubbles in the post-production special effects, and the language communication should also be processed with sound effects to reflect the feeling of sound propagation in the water.

is worthy of Wen Ziren, who is small and broad, don't underestimate these subtle treatments, especially for science fiction films, they are the basis for ensuring that the details of the film are true and credible, even if he is the male protagonist and participates in every big scene, he can't completely imagine what shocking visual effects can be presented in the end.

Because the director swears that every frame and every frame must be deducted in detail in the post-production!

Wen Ziren looked at Ding Cheng, who was playing steadily, and felt more and more that his decision was simply amazing!

Needless to say, the muscles are a perfect embodiment of the domineering spirit of the Sea King, especially the action design, each naval battle completely reflects the texture that is very different from the land battle and air battle, the attack and defense seem to be slow and solid, and the striking skills are full of four or two thousand pounds.

At his suggestion, he even added Wing Chun and Tai Chi, which not only fascinated American audiences who were curious about the mysterious East, but could even imagine what to expect when it was released in China in the future......

is worthy of being the actor who swept Southeast Asia!
