……

Cao Fang is not the only one who is desperate, after all, this drama has been difficult since the project was established, and it has not been smooth since the official start of filming.

The crew divided half of the manpower to build a green screen shooting location in the Oriental Film Metropolis, and rented three large studios, with a total area estimated to be more than 3,000 square meters, and the construction of many venues was time-consuming and laborious, such as the main scene of the exchange in the Infinity Paradise game, as well as some scenes in the script story, these places cannot be completely produced by post-special effects, and it is difficult to find a suitable location, so it is necessary to partially build the real scene and combine it with the post-special effects.

These sci-fi scene designs alone have led to the abolition of several cartoonists.

Some domestic special effects companies that have cooperated with Hollywood have realized the gap as soon as they got started.

The gap accumulated by the film industry, Chiguoguo's horizontality, lies in front of everyone.

For the same type of project, the Hollywood side is as light and orderly as it is lifting, but they are walking on thin ice.

There is arguing and moving forward, and it is difficult to move forward, and on this side, Cao Yifang and others uphold the concept of doers, and if they can't figure it out, they don't want to think about it first, since they have no experience, they roll up their sleeves and work directly, and look for problems to solve while shooting.

Unfinished building.

The deep and dark corridor, under the dim flickering lights, the details of the buildings on both sides are invisible, and the monitor seems to extend infinitely, leading to the unknown front.

Suddenly, there was a glimmer of light at the end of the corridor, which was the light coming through the crack in the elevator door.

The elevator door opened, and a slender figure stood in the incandescent light, looking like a silhouette.

Cao Fangfang really lost a lot of weight.

He walked out slowly, looking left and right, like a leisurely stroll, which seemed to be incompatible with the secluded atmosphere that the set team had painstakingly created.

In the game Infinity Paradise, there are many copies of horror stories, and they are only filming the content of the first episode, and the protagonist Feng Bujue is doing a novice guide mission.

After Cao Fang walked a few steps, Lu Jingzhen shouted.

"Okay, camera number two shoots from behind over-the-shoulder, do it again. ”

Cao Fang walked again.

After filming several times, he moved on to the next scene.

"Is the special effect makeup of the blood corpse ready?" Lu asked in surprise.

A stiff "blood corpse" jumped over and greeted crisply: "Come on, come on!"

"Director, it's my turn, isn't it?

This is a tall and thin special actor, and now he can't see his true face, his whole body is smeared with thick plasma, and the whole makeup can be said to be tightly wrapped from beginning to end, and his body is full of blooming skin.

His face was covered with zombie makeup, his eyes were white and bulging, and his lips were covered with blackened tooth props, which looked particularly terrifying.

Cao Fangfang said happily: "Hey, this big brother, don't bend over and hunch over with a flattering expression...... It's easy for me to play, come, be scary. ”

When the blood corpse heard Cao Fangfang's words, he became more and more nervous, quickly stood up straight, and then made a hideous expression.

"Ahhhh

Lu sneered and laughed, and Cao Fang comforted him: "Just dub it later." ”

Then he beckoned, "The makeup artist will come and help me touch up my makeup." ”

The weather was hot, Cao Yifang was wearing the black novice uniform in the game, just ordinary long-sleeved trousers, without any characteristics, the workmanship was relatively rough, not very breathable, and the building was extremely dull, he was already sweating after just walking back and forth a few times.

He asked with concern: "Brother Blood Corpse, your makeup is hotter, right? Let's finish these performances as quickly as possible, and wait for you to do the action, will it affect you?" I see that you are a little stiff when you walk. ”

He endured the discomfort and said with a smile: "I'm fine! It's a little hot, it's not in the way!" and then in order to prove that the action will not be affected, he jumped back and forth: "The action can also be done! You see, the old man is strong!"

Cao Fangfang knew that it was not easy for these special actors, so he motioned to Lu Jingzhen to start quickly.

After they were in place, the elevator opened again.

He had already walked the same few steps six times, just to make it easier for the photographer to get enough angles in this tight space.

This time, after Cao Fang walked a few steps, he turned around.

The lighting is very well adjusted, after Cao Yifang leaves the elevator, the incandescent light of the elevator is extinguished, and on the screen of the monitor, Lu Jingzhen can only see Cao Fangfang's face in the faint light at first, and the large area is a black background, which is particularly depressing.

Something was moving in the darkness behind him, and it flashed.

Cao Fang turned around decisively.

After a few seconds, the bloody corpse finally appeared in the faint light.

The photographer knelt on the ground and looked up at the hideous face of the bloody corpse.

"Ahhhh

A roar.

Cao Fangfang was not afraid, it seemed that he was just observing, and from the bottom up, he saw the whole bloody corpse throughout.

Without saying a word, Xue Zhi strode forward and smashed the wall next to the elevator with a punch.

The plastic plate set up by the props team shattered, and a black unidentified object dripped out of it.

Another roar.

Cao Fang turned around and ran.

The bloody corpse chased forward with difficulty.

As soon as he took two steps from his long legs, it was like a sudden shot in the knee, and he fell straight to the ground.

Following behind, holding a camera, the camera teacher who had just started to run was caught off guard, and a difficult hurdle action flew over the bloody corpse.

Then landed.

Split.

All the staff members who were hiding in the darkness heard the crotch cracking.

……

It took them two days to finish filming these simple chase scenes.

Cao Yifang and Lu Jingzhen nested in the equipment room and quietly watched the filmed scenes several times.

Not very satisfied.

"The limitations of the outside framing and shooting are too great, you see, this scene is too narrow, the equipment can't be spread, and the temperature and light, we can't control it well. ”

"There are more outdoor problems, and when I read this script, in fact, special effects are needed almost everywhere, and it is too difficult to get out of the studio. ”

After two days of trying, after careful consideration, Lu Jingzhen made a suggestion: "Why don't we all move to the Oriental Film Metropolis?" ”

Cao Fang chewed gum and asked, "You mean, all of them are shooting on green screens, and don't want real scenes?"

"yes, uh, no, we built the real estate in the big studio, all by ourselves. Lu was stunned: "The Dragon King also suggested so, the budget is barely enough, at most it is to increase the set time." ”

Cao Fang nodded: "Then I listen to you, you are the director, as long as you are within the budget in the future, you make your own decisions, I really don't have the energy to take care of these things, you have to let me leave some time for the characters and the script." ”

Lu Jingzhen felt the trust of Cao Fang, he finally gradually grasped the power of the crew, suppressed his excitement, and said in a low voice: "Then...... I've got the final say?"

Cao Fang whispered: "You have the final say." ”

Lu was stunned and held his face and kissed him fiercely.

……

The crew of Infinite Paradise entered the Oriental Movie Metropolis Industrial Park.

Cao Yifang and others are also people who have seen the world, but the first time they came to this heavy industry film base known as Asia's No. 1, they still became Grandma Liu who visited the Grand View Garden.

"I've heard for a long time that Qingdao's film base is very awesome. Lu Zhen tilted his head, looked at the square above his head, a nine-story high studio, and took off his sunglasses in a daze.

"But I didn't expect it to be so awesome. Cao Fang stepped into the studio, and the eyes were full of the colors of the green grass.

Green to the heart.

The entire 10,000-square-meter studio is completely covered by green screens.

Then he saw the terrifying power of the film industry after being awakened by capital.

Countless crew members are busy performing their duties, they are like sleepless worker ants, working hard to build their ant nests.

In front of him, a subway car was placed.

Look through the carriage.

That's a city.
