It's been 10 days since I came to Yinchuan, and the progress of shooting every day is very fast.

Astronaut Lin Hua, played by Liu Ye, is a very strong man both physically and psychologically.

This is the most important point, grasp this trait, with Liu Ye's appearance and acting skills, there is no big problem in acting.

No matter how strong a person is, he also has a weak side, and when he is alone at night eating food at the base, he will also have a lonely, helpless, and even desperate side.

For the most part, though, he's optimistic.

The status quo is already like this, if he is negative, then he will collapse first after staying on Mars for a few days.

When I made a record of the system that landed on the space agency on the first night, which is equivalent to a "suicide note", I still behaved very calmly and optimistically.

Optimism and humor are not difficult for Liu Ye, and even comic comparisons are easy to come by.

......

"Click. ”

Halfway through the morning shooting, Tang An shouted to stop.

Problems of all sizes in the filming process are inevitable, and today's lighting has problems again, Tang An and Ye Jintian, Zhang Li, and Zhou Ren got together to discuss and try various plans, and finally Tang An made a decision.

"With 5 Arrimax 18K and 12K HMI Par lamps and Rosco 1/2 Soft Frost Diffuser. ”

Whether it is the sunlight on the surface of Mars or the indoor light of the human base, the sunlight shining on the roof of the base must go through countless experiments to achieve the desired effect.

The Human Center uses indoor lighting for the scenery, and basically does not use any other lighting equipment, so it is easy to distinguish between the inside and outside scenes.

The interior scenes are monochromatic, clean and modern, while the outdoors are fantastical.

The Martian daylight that hits the translucent dome in the center of humanity is in neutral colors, and this contrast between the interior and exterior makes the viewer not get bored with the earthy red color of the Martian surface.

"Okay, shoot continues. ”

After dealing with a question, Tang An sat back in front of the monitor.

But with that comes new problems arise.

Photographer Zhang Li took the initiative to raise his hand and shouted to stop when he was taking a close-up shot, and he walked over and said.

"Director Tang, Liu Ye's helmet will still reflect light, why don't you remove the cover on the helmet and add it later. ”

Tang An shook his head, in order to prevent the reflected light, they only used a single directional light when shooting people, but the cover on the helmet still showed a little shadow of the camera.

This can only depend on post-production, but whether it is CG to create the cover or erase the camera shadow reflected on the cover depends on how convenient it is in post-production.

He had already handed over the problem to Tiangong Yicai, and after two days, there should be a solution over there, so Tang An dialed over.

"Hey, Old Xiao, how's it going?"

"Tang Dong, it's almost solved, if it's all studio shooting, let's erase the reflection in the later stage, and remove the cover when shooting on location, and do CG in the later stage. ”

"Okay, then we'll shoot like this. ”

Tang An hung up the phone and said to Zhang Li, "Erase it later, and then remove the cover from the exterior." ”

Keep shooting.

After a busy morning, I moved into the "greenhouse" in the afternoon to shoot the scene of planting potatoes.

The varieties with the fastest potato ripening cycle also take 60 days, and Tang An's shooting time here is only a little more than a month, so it is impossible to really plant them from scratch and then shoot them on a specific day.

However, ploughing the ground, sowing seeds, fertilizing, and watering are all real shots.

The scene of sowing seeds was filmed before, and now the potatoes in it have entered the planting period.

"Thirty-seven, one shot, one time!"

"Let's go!"

"I am now the greatest botanist on the planet, and as it was said a long time ago, if you are planted with crops, it is your colony. ”

"So, I colonized Mars, I was the first, and Armstrong was weak. ”

Liu Ye introduced these potatoes with a little smugness and amusement, and since getting in touch with the Earth Space Agency, the state of the characters has become more and more cheerful.

......

At 3 o'clock in the afternoon, the scene where the aerospace team successfully picked up Liu Ye over Mars will be filmed today, and it is also the last scene of Li Binbin, Jiang Wu, Yang Mi, and Wang Kai.

Several of them had their own things, so they just finished filming and let them go first.

Another studio was replaced, and all kinds of equipment, rail cars, and WIA were ready.

Although this scene is not long or complicated, it seems that Li Binbin reached a distance of more than 100 meters from Liu Ye through the tow rope, and then Liu Ye made him rise through the exhaust pressure and finally joined Li Binbin and was pulled onto the spaceship by the tow rope together.

The actual operation is extremely cumbersome, and the data are referred to by the Space Administration, and they are demonstrated many times on the computer to obtain a feasible data.

This includes the angles and distances between the various props, as well as the angles and distances to the camera.

Even the scene where Liu Ye flies around after decompression in a small aircraft cannot be filmed, and the personal perspective in the aircraft must establish an internal model of the small aircraft and make a complete CG interior for this shot.

Everything is ready and ready to go.

"Are the departments ready?"

"Photography OK!"

"Props OK!"

“OK!”

Space rescue is about to begin, even if it is filming, it is inevitably exciting.

After confirming that it was correct, Tang An shouted loudly.

"The actors are in place!"

"Seventy-first, one shot, one time!"

"Let's go!"

In order to make Liu Ye's performance physical, the struggle against centrifugal force makes the scene more realistic.

Probably the hardest part for the actors is to get them to imagine what's in the vicinity of this huge green screen scene.

Liu Ye stayed on a truss with a rotating gimbal in the middle, while the others swayed on it with ropes.

At the other end, Li Binbin on the spacecraft also fixed the tow rope and lowered it to the middle position.

Liu Ye stayed on a truss with a rotating universal joint, and the entire truss was followed by a railcar controller.

The camera is above Liu Ye through the bracket, and then the animation axis is made in post-production.

Li Binbin anxiously looked at Liu Ye who was rolling towards him, and while Liu Ye was moving forward, he was affected by gravity and allowed the truss to roll irregularly, and he had to make various expressions and movements.

Getting closer!

The two sides have converged!

But it still passed by!

However, Liu Ye grabbed the tow rope and kept holding the tow rope and spinning around.

Since outer space is gravityless, the leash does not fall and floats in the air.

However, it was obviously impossible to shoot at the time, so it was necessary to add it through CG production in post-production.

"Nice to meet you!"

The two grabbed their hands together, and Liu Ye shouted with a hint of excitement.

"But you don't appreciate music. ”

Now at a tense moment, reunited after a long absence, and joked.

"Okay, pass!"

The space rescue was successfully completed!

PS: The third shift is here, it's a little late, hurry up and go to bed......
