Chapter 140: Filming of the Promotional Video Begins (Part 2)

At six o'clock in the morning, more than 30 staff members of the entire crew, plus more than 20 actors, set off from Yanjing by one bus and two equipment vehicles, and arrived at the Qinglanba Reservoir in Jinzhou at eight o'clock in the morning.

The first scene they filmed was the most difficult flood scene, when the reservoir had been flooding for a while, and the downstream was full of yellow pulp.

Next to the main river road, there is a small valley with a slightly gentler terrain, which is also flooded like a swamp.

This swamp is the location of this shooting.

Before the construction of the reservoir, it was a small village of more than a dozen families, but now it has moved to the town more than ten kilometers away, leaving only a few dilapidated houses.

These houses are in disrepair, and they are often flooded during the flood, and many of them have collapsed, and those that have not fallen have become dilapidated houses.

If it weren't for Wang Xia with more than a dozen armed police officers and soldiers beside him, and the reservoir staff staring at him, Su Xiaofan really wouldn't dare to let Brother Xuan take this risk.

Well, Brother Xuan finally agreed to act.

After Zheng Hao and Tang Muxuan talked about this, Tang Muxuan himself gave Zheng Hao an idea:

She doesn't receive a salary, she acts in friendship, and if her family asks, she will say that she is filming a public welfare propaganda film......

There is no salary, it is indeed a public welfare performance for her, and the promotional film serves the state unit, and the credibility of public welfare is much higher than that of private enterprise brands.

This made Su Xiaofan a little unhappy, so he recorded another personal debt in his heart......

"Be careful yourself, don't be in a hurry to shoot, safety first!" Su Xiaofan sat on a hovercraft and admonished with a serious expression.

Brother Xuan Zheng Hao and Ye Yang sat on another hovercraft, and there was another hovercraft next to them, sitting on the actors who played Tang Muxuan's parents,

After hearing Su Xiaofan's words, they all nodded, and then the two armed policemen controlled the hovercraft and sailed towards a house soaked in water.

This scene is about a girl who is helpless in the event of a natural disaster, and then a female soldier fights the flood and rescues the girl.

Because those houses are not safe, the people and equipment that need to be strictly controlled need to go up, so the only people who go up are Tang Muxuan and Ye Yang.

The shooting equipment has also been simplified to the extreme, with only a mirrorless body and a lens.

Su Xiaofan can't check the shooting picture through the monitor, so he can only come back after filming, and show it to Su Xiaofan, if not, he has to go back and reshoot, which is quite troublesome.

This is not the most troublesome, the most difficult is actually the light,

In order to create that kind of girl's fear of unknown fate, the time is set in the evening, when it is about to get dark.

In other words, if you need to shoot a night scene during the day, you must turn on the lights, and you must also use high-power lights to illuminate the main body and darken the already bright surrounding environment.

The electricity is received from a light generator dozens of meters away, and each wire is fully waterproof in advance, and then supported with a custom-made wooden frame to avoid leakage and damage to the equipment.

Fortunately, the water is not deep, only up to the knees in most places, and the deep places are up to the thighs, and the current is much slower than the main road outside.

"All departments are in place, everyone don't touch the water!" Zheng Hao, as the executive director of the scene, was sitting on the hovercraft, and after Tang Muxuan and Ye Yang went up to the roof, he shouted loudly into the megaphone in his hand, "Teacher Lighting is ready to turn on the lights!"

After repeatedly confirming that no one was in the water, Zheng Hao asked the gaffer to turn on the lights, so with a snap, several headlights set up around the house were turned on.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

The difficulty of this scene is in the lighting, and when the lighting is done, nothing else is a problem.

Ye Yang, who was in the house, used the walkie-talkie to instruct the gaffer to fine-tune the lighting, and then the filming officially started.

Filming this scene, Su Xiaofan was idle, he sat in the director's chair on the shore and listened to the voice on the walkie-talkie at any time.

Everything that should be explained is explained clearly in advance, Ye Yang only needs to shoot in front of the storyboard picture book and shoot one shot at a time.

Su Xiaofan has detailed notes for each shot, and Su Xiaofan is not very worried about Brother Xuan's performance.

More than half an hour later, Ye Yang came back with the camera, and then began to play it back for Su Xiaofan to see.

In the picture, a family of three snuggles tightly together, looking out the window with an anxious face.

Tang Muxuan also changed into the costume of a country girl, her face was still touching some dirt, her hair was half wet, and she looked a little embarrassed.

At this time, I heard the sound of a house collapsing next to me, and the two adults suddenly became a little desperate, Tang Muxuan hurriedly comforted her parents, she was actually uneasy in her heart, which was very well expressed through the constant looking out of the window, and the somewhat helpless little eyes.

This was followed by some shots of the flood from a subjective perspective, and with the cooperation of the lighting, the water that was not very rapid was amplified and became more ferocious.

In particular, the seemingly endless water surface of the main road happened to be photographed outside the window, which made people feel like they were on a light boat in a vast ocean, and through their performance, the fate of this light boat could capsize at any time.

"Yes, yes. After going through the materials, Su Xiaofan nodded and said, "Now hurry up and shoot the armed police rescue, I always stay in the house, I'm a little worried...... After all the filming is done, you go and shoot some of the Skyclaves where the flood hits the corner of the wall as a supplement. ”

Ye Yang nodded, and went back on the hovercraft again.

If it is in chronological order, it should be the first to shoot the picture of the appearance of the armed police officers and soldiers.

But these pictures need to remove the lights on the scene, and mainly rely on the searchlights on the hovercraft to create the atmosphere of the evening.

So this shot is left at the end.

After another half an hour, with the cooperation of several female soldiers led by Wang Xia, the shots in the dilapidated house were completed.

Only the last evacuation shot remains.

A family of three sat on the hovercraft to evacuate with palpitations, Ye Yang filmed their front, and then behind them was their home, and the lighting needs to be adjusted to the hovercraft.

This lens needs to be re-adjusted, and it takes a long time to prepare.

When everything was ready and about to start shooting, everyone suddenly heard a strange sound of water,

Su Xiaofan's face changed suddenly, and then turned to ecstasy.

"Ye Yang, start shooting immediately! That house seems to be really going to fall!"

When Ye Yang heard this, he didn't look at the situation of the house for the first time, but quickly pressed the power button, pointed the camera at Tang Muxuan, and used the dilapidated house as the background.

Several actors also hurriedly accompanied Ye Yang and entered the state,

Sure enough, under the screen display of the camera, Ye Yang took a shot like a divine help-

The house in the background collapsed!

Seeing this scene, Su Xiaofan's heart was about to jump out.

If this house falls early, Tang Muxuan and them will be in danger.

Too late, and they're likely to miss this real and thrilling shot!
