Volume 1: Monster Rising!Chapter 161: An Alternative Camera Boom

Next chapter

………………………………………………

At noon the next day, since the drama sent a boxed lunch, director Ding Yin was a little absent-minded.

Today's weather forecast has a force 5 wind.

At this wind speed, some small trees will shake and the surface of the lake will ripple.

Under the wind speed of level 5, the shooting will not be delayed at all. But the two sad camera rockers that saw the sky and waited for the wind to stop, but never waited, almost shook everyone out of heart disease.

Obediently, like a swing dance, if it hadn't been for the camera crew to take them back, they would have broken by now.

In order to find out the reason for the excessive wind speed here, director Ding Yin specially invited two engineers from the Zhongyun Meteorological Bureau-Climate Research Office to come here to find out.

Of course, these are not the reasons why director Ding Yin is absent-minded, yesterday he finally learned that there is a company in China that can produce high-tech products whose performance is far from that of ordinary rocker arms.

I called the door with joy, but was ruthlessly rejected by the other party. As if the production of such a rocker arm was a technical humiliation for him.

Originally, most of the things were going to be yellow, but what made people unthinkable was that this Mr. Ye and Xu Ninggong were elementary school classmates.

Then Mr. Ye didn't even talk about the price, and promised to deliver the two rocker arms the next afternoon.

This huge gap in treatment made director Ding Yin very sad.

It is precisely because of this that director Ding Yincai wants to see even more, what is the difference between the rocker arm made by Giant Beast Heavy Industries and the ordinary rocker arm on the market?

"Director, will it be just an aluminum alloy pipe like a fishing rod, and then let us run with our hands?" The cameraman is called Fu Xiangqing, who has won the Golden Rooster Award for Best Cinematography, and the whole crew is only afraid of Director Ding alone.

"After all, what can that company build in a full day?"

"You ask me, who do I ask? But I'm slow to look forward to it. From time to time, director Ding Yin looked in the direction of a large gap in the distance, which turned out to be the gate of Chengzi Lake. Later, for unknown reasons, the water dried up completely, and the local government simply blew up the floodgates so that farmers could come in and farm.

There were two gates, but the only one that was suitable for vehicles to enter was the one he was watching.

Fifteen minutes before the crew started, a seven-seater white Highlander ran over from the gap.

The Highlander also has the Zhongyun Meteorological Bureau logo printed on its body, which is obviously not the best target that director Ding Yin is looking forward to.

After some pleasantries, several people from the Zhongyun Meteorological Bureau began to move the mobile weather station, wind direction sensor, speedometer, weather balloon, etc., from the car to test the mystery of the strange wind in Chengzi Lake.

It is said to be a strange wind, because the wind speed inside is not large, for example, the weather forecast now has a five-level wind, here because there is a surrounding earth dam to shelter, at most there are only four, but the wind speed above is surprisingly large, fifty meters above, there may be six.

Don't underestimate the difference, level 4 wind can make people feel very comfortable with a breeze, but level 6 can allow you to blow your umbrella over.

Two engineers from the Meteorological Bureau were busy measuring the wind with their assistants, and when director Ding Yin was going to start shooting those shots that didn't require a rocker arm first, a Mercedes-Benz G65 and two flatbed trailers drove over with dust.

Ding Yin's eyes lit up, and with nervousness and expectation, he quickly sat up from the director's chair.

Because on the two flatbed trailers, each has a set of silver-white square tubular equipment folded together, it is obvious that this is the wind-resistant camera rocker arm specially built for them by Behemoth Heavy Industries.

"It's coming, it's coming, it's coming. Director Ding Yin hurriedly called for the camera and went with him to greet Mr. Ye, who was unwilling to take his order.

Xu Ninggong also ran down from the nanny car, and for the convenience of shooting, she didn't change out of the sci-fi spacesuit like a fashion model when she was resting.

It's a close-fitting elastic leather jacket with a lot of streamlined white armor on the outside.

At first glance, it looks like that, but you can't look closely.

When driving over the dirt road and approaching the film crew, Ye Qing almost couldn't hold back his laughter when he saw Xu Ninggong's appearance.

Obviously, the crew of this movie didn't have the ability to make that kind of streamlined metal spacesuit, so they had to use plastic sheets to spray white metallic paint to make a living. It will be okay to fool the layman, but of course it is not okay to fool Ye Qing.

"Hello, hello, Mr. Ye, hello. Director Ding Yin came up enthusiastically and shook Ye Qing's hands: "Thank you for helping us make two sets of equipment that we urgently need in your busy schedule." ”

"Xu Ninggong is my classmate in elementary school, so I can't help but help with this. Ye Qing nodded: "Director Ding, you should have said it earlier." ”

"You're beautiful in your spacesuit. After speaking, Ye Qing praised Xu Ninggong on the side against his will.

Xu Ninggong waved his arm a few times, and the plastic plate that served as a protective armor suddenly made a rattling sound.

"This will be done in the later stage to make special effects and beautify. Xu Ninggong generously accepted Ye Qing's joke: "I originally wanted to find a company to customize that kind of light metal, but I found a metal craft company, and the products made were the same as the knights of the nineteenth century, and they couldn't even bend their waists." ”

"This is a camera glove arm made by your company? It looks so advanced. Xu Ninggong didn't wear much makeup, and her hairstyle was also a very ordinary hairstyle, which seemed to be a simple alien beauty style.

Xu Ninggong walked to the side of the truck and stood on tiptoe to look at the somewhat dazzling silver-white square brackets.

Just looking at it from the outside, you can't find anything in common with an ordinary camera jib.

On the contrary, it is a bit like a cloud car.

The crew had a crane responsible for lifting Weiya, and it didn't take long to drive over to unload the two alternative rocker arms with huge fixed bases and a length of ten meters.

Many people in the crew came over to see the excitement, and Ye Qing even saw a few female stars who were lovely and could be named.

As for those male stars, Ye Qing automatically filtered them.

This is also the purpose of Ye Qing's personal visit today, where he can see many stars, as well as the filming process of the movie that he has never seen before, and the starship that is said to be very sci-fi.

It's just that he looked left and right, and found no trace of the starship, which disappointed him.

"Mr. Ye, are you sure that this is really a photography rocker?" Otherwise, Fu Xiangqing of the camera crew walked around these neatly stacked equipment, his face full of distrust: "Why, it is not fixed with steel cables?"

"Because you don't need those things that are behind. Ye Qing also had a question to ask: "Director Ding, what about the starship?"

Director Ding blushed a little, the steel cable rocker arm that the film crew has been using has been said to be backward, and the plastic spacesuit has also been laughed at by Mr. Ye, and now he is directly operating on his sore spot.

"I didn't ...... There are starships. Director Ding pointed to the specially cleared construction site in the center and said embarrassedly: "That's where the spaceship is parked, but we don't have the technology to build a model like Hollywood." ”

"This ship is built with computer special effects. ”

"......" what else can Ye Qing say, and what else can he expect from domestic science fiction movies?

"Mr. Ye, what is the price of these equipment?" Director Ding changed the topic and said: "And how does it operate? Please forgive me for my ignorance, because we are used to the steel cable operation of the traditional rocker arm." ”

"The price will be tested before we talk. Ye Qing waved his hand: "Let's test the performance of these two rocker arms first." ”

"No, you can't!"

Suddenly, there was a shout, startling the people near the rocker.

The voice was made by a meteorological bureau officer wearing overalls and holding a weather recorder.

"Don't test this rocker. ”

"Why?" said director Ding Yin, looking puzzled.

"Because there are some problems with the terrain here, when the south wind blows, there will be air vortices in the sky above here. The professional of the Meteorological Bureau, Yan said: "Now that the wind speed above has reached level six, it is still a whirlpool wind column, not to mention an eighty-meter rocker arm, even if it is lifted twenty meters high, it will be broken." ”
