Said to add more.,But these two chapters are more coherent.,The black car won't lose everyone's appetite.,It's changed together.,Today's third chapter is here soon.,Ask for recommendation and collection.,Thank you!)

Location: Hillside, People: Wei Qing, Han Army Cavalry Unit, Time: Sunset.

When the long, when the long, when the long...... A burst of crisp sounds came, and Wei Qing, played by Deng Wei, was riding his horse along his cavalry brigade, galloping horizontally, and at the same time, the long sword in his hand and the spear of the first knight kept colliding, and even caused the neighing of the horse.

"Brothers!" Finally finishing the long queue, Wei Qing shouted: "From today onwards, you are my brothers." In front of us are the Huns, and behind us are the big Hans, and we have no way out! Are you willing to watch your relatives being robbed by them? Are you willing to watch your brothers and sisters being robbed by them? Never! In today's battle, there will be death and no life! I, Wei Qing, will die with everyone, and I will take you to die!"

"Roar!" came a loud roar, and you couldn't hear what they were saying, because there were too many people, and the wind was too strong.

"Do you say that you have no clothes? Wang Yuxingshi, repair my spear. Enmity with the Son. ......" Deng Wei chanted softly, and slowly all the knights sang along.

Boom, boom, boom...... The ranks of the cavalry began to advance, slowly at first, and it was a process of slow acceleration, because the real battlefield is to store horsepower, and you can't run crazy far away.

Boom, boom, boom...... The speed is getting faster and faster, the distance between the various knights is widened, they can finally put the spears in their hands flat, and the formation has also changed at this time, the entire cavalry team is 10,000 people, they are like a big bird with wings spread, straight to the enemy's formation!

"Card! OK!" Wu Xiang held a loudspeaker at this time and shouted at the rushing cavalry, because there was no one in front of these cavalrymen.

It was perfect, it was perfect!

The whole body that Wu Xiang showed just now was full of blood, because this scene was too shocking, 10,000 people, 10,000 people riding horses, galloping and impacting on this prairie, under the reflection of the sunset, it was simply swallowing mountains and rivers!

Wu Xiang finally realized what it was like to command 10,000 people to fight, it was simply goosebumps!

By extension, it's no wonder that this person likes power, power is like a delicacy, ancient emperors, dictators in modern history, these guys must have tasted this extreme taste, and even addicted.

In this scene where the cavalry dives down from the hillside, Wu Xiang used a long shot, which was somewhat influenced by Mr. Han Xiaolei, Wu Xiang felt that the long shot was particularly suitable for this scene, because there was no perspective conversion in the middle, and the sense of substitution was strong and beautiful.

The so-called long shot is a shot that lasts more than ten seconds, and this dive, to say the least, is more than half a minute, but Wu Xiang has made some adjustments in this long lens, such as he added a high-speed camera, paved a track, and a large swingarm, and even borrowed a helicopter. The high-speed camera will make the place where the horse changes from slow to fast more beautiful, and the overhead shot of the helicopter can make the scene more grandiose.

In other words, this is a combination of long shots, each long shot is like a fist, and now Wu Xiang just wants to use this combination of punches to stunned and shock the audience.

Anyway, Wu Xiang is for the effect he wants to achieve, he is out of the way, the days are over, what cost, what budget, Lao Tzu began to throw gold and silver!

Not all of these 10,000 people can ride horses, but with Wu Xiang's small invention, plus the crew who have been trained before, everyone is passing on the help during the rehearsal, and there is no problem with this horse battle without stirrups.

Next, there is also a cavalry scene, which is also from the Han army, that is, a cavalry led by Huo Quzhi, this cavalry has a small number of people, but it still has to shoot a dive.

The whole method is no different from Wei Qing's, but it is changed to a hillside, and then the number of people is reduced to 5,000, and everyone rushes again.

It's no different, it's just that the actor who plays Huo Quai's illness said a little.

Wu Xiang has also been looking for a long time, the character of Huo Qubing is not simple, a young hero, and died young, to be honest, there are not many scenes at all, but this is a very important role, in the northern attack on the Huns, it is not worse than Wei Qing, so who to find?

The film school and Chinese opera are all handsome guys, but Wu Xiang felt that this role should be more masculine, and he chose someone in the end.

Ji He, it's this young man, the 99th grade of the film academy, Wu Xiang picked him, one is that he likes this kid's chest muscles are very developed, and the other is that Wu Xiang seems to have heard of it when he was in the TV circle before, this kid's cousin is Zhang Jiayi.

Anyway, let's pull this relationship a little bit first, and then say, the size of the person's body, this head, and this fierce color are all good, and they are quite suitable for playing Huo Quai.

This section is also filmed normally, and then it will be a big drama of the battle array.

No more horseback, this time it was an infantry phalanx, and the number was still 10,000.

Actually, in the cavalry scene in the previous paragraph, Wu Xiang borrowed from the drama of King Xiyoton in "The Lord of the Rings" 3, well, this is a copycat, but we are a high-tech and sturdy copycat!

And the "Lord of the Rings" hasn't been released yet, okay, and the culture is different in this background.

And what about this infantry phalanx this time?

This time, the infantry phalanx is mainly to release arrows, and there are bows and crossbows in terms of props, but they still release arrows, so this shot is naturally ......

Well, it must be "Hero", director Zhang Yimou is really good at controlling this scene. However, there is a problem here, that is, the drama "Hero" actually uses computer special effects, and Wu Xiang has now opened such a big situation, and he is really not allowed to do any computer special effects in terms of funds, so what can I do?

And with a high-speed camera? That's useless.

Let's just do it, Wu Xiang will definitely not be able to shoot the angle of view on the arrowhead, but what he can shoot is the process of releasing the arrow, and the process of blocking with a shield.

Lined up!

10,000 people set up a formation on a flat grass, which is really a sea of people, and you can't see the edge at a glance. At this time, the formation was such that there were spearmen and shield bearers in front, and crossbowmen in the back.

Wu Xiang first gave a panoramic shot, and then asked Ning Hao to put on his hand and come to the front of the queue to take a close-up shot of the soldiers.

"Lead!" shouted the herald in armor.

Crash!

In unison, the crossbowmen all wound their arrows.

"Hurry!" bang, it was really a thousand arrows!

can only shoot this launch, forget about that flight shot, but it's not easy to do this, Wu Xiang arranged three angles of the camera, helicopter, long view, medium and close view. That's not enough, you have to shoot a few more times, shoot a close-up, and cut it in later.

Now I shoot but this is a real bow and arrow, strive to be real, the bow and arrow are made, but the bow and crossbow can't be made, it's too expensive, I can't afford to buy it, this is rented from the props company, one is not enough, I rented several, it should be said that at this time, almost all the antique bows and crossbows in China are gathered in Ba Ao Naoer, just for this, Wu Xiang spent more than three million.

Whether this bow and crossbow is a feature of the Han Dynasty, Wu Xiang can't care anymore, besides, he believes that the audience is not so serious, spray paint, and the color is almost right.

But that's not all, we have to keep shooting.

"551st Regiment, Sixth Company! Listen to my command and walk in unison!"

"One-two-one! one-two-one......"

"551st Regiment, Seventh Company!

…… This command resounded throughout the Ba Wei Naoer grassland, and I saw that the soldiers with spears in front were walking forward, and even followed many crossbowmen behind.

What is this for? And that's not all.

The remaining crossbowmen began to disguise, and they soon became Hun soldiers.

"Release!" was another order, this time it was not ten thousand arrows, the number was not enough, there were only a few thousand, and their arrowheads had also been replaced, most of them were white arrows made of bones.

Bang! bang...... The bowstring made a dull sound, and the shot given by Wu Xiang this time was only a medium and close shot, and there was no panorama like a helicopter.

Then, the foot soldiers who had walked out of the Lun before, they came to a meadow, where there was nothing, and the arrows that had been shot were not here, but now the soldiers had raised their shields.

"Lead!"

"Hurry!"

At this time, the 'Huns' finally began to shoot arrows, and they finally had a goal.

Dingding, dingding...... This voice is very pleasant, this shot means that the Han army was hit by the Xiongnu's bow, and in fact, this was shot by the 'comrades-in-arms' who had just fought together.

Of course, the bows and arrows fired this time were fake, very light, and not powerful.

The time background of the war is all twilight. At this time, Wu Xiang felt that the sunshine was more suitable for filming war scenes, a little dark, and a burst of red, with the upper color adjustment, it could express the solemn atmosphere of the battlefield, giving people an invisible pressure. Moreover, this is conducive to post-editing, which is like a mentor of a good voice, who wears the same clothes in every episode.

It is said that it is dusk, but in fact, it can be filmed when it is just dawn, because the sunrise and sunset are actually about the same, so the main working hours of the crew of "The Emperor of the Han Dynasty" are in the morning and midnight.

What are you doing in between? Of course, you can't be idle. For example, after archery, if you are injured, you have to stick a few arrows in the shield, right? Someone has to fall, right?

This is all a close-up view, you need to do a little magic, the arrows shot at people are fake, they are all light and light, but the arrows that can be inserted must be real.

To be honest, this is a special effects lens, doing this kind of special effects lens, Wu Xiang's level is not good, at least they don't even have experience, but a living person can't let urine suffocate to death.

Wu Xiang and several teachers who participated in the filming of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" before summed it up, and the shooting of archery in that drama was very fake, not because they didn't want to shoot realistically, but because they really didn't have this technique. Wu Xiang also understands that the kind of very good-looking shots in the future are all made with the help of high-tech special effects animation, all made by computers.

So what now? I don't have the money to do that.

Noodles with points!

Let's build a shed first, in order to block the big sun. Then I shoot a close-up shot of a few people, or use a high-speed camera to shoot it, and after taking a shot of a few people, I add it when editing, so that it will produce a very good effect.

Whoosh, bang! An arrow slammed into the shield, and the remnant trembled slightly.

First of all, Wu Xiang also specially found an archery athlete to come over to help shoot, everyone has rehearsed a few times before, and the safety factor should be enough. Then shoot a few more people, cut these shots together in the later stage, and that's OK.

This is a shield and an arrow, but what about the arrow in the body?

This is better to shoot, much safer, the arrow is very long, a person grabs the tail of the arrow, and then vigorously pierces the armor of a warrior, the armor has been done early in the morning, and it squeaks and bloods when it is pierced, and it can be pierced a few more.

Anyway, let's stick with each other, it's kind of fun.

The trembling of the arrows, the blood beads flying in the air, all of this is so realistic and brilliant under the high-speed camera, and by adjusting the focus to blur the other onlookers, in fact, they have nothing to do and are just there to watch, as long as these shots are added in the later stage, the whole war scene will be perfect.

The whole shooting was carried out according to the optimal plan, the fastest speed and the highest efficiency, but this is quite interesting, because the 10,000 people commanded by Wu Xiang are actually beating their own people.

But in fact, the progress of filming is not fast, because it takes time to change clothes, weapons, and formations, plus the weather also changes, and sometimes only a short scene can be filmed a day.
