Chapter 37: Cool Prop Costumes

At the filming base of the Oriental Film Metropolis, the filming team of "Space Warning" is building a studio.

Yang Bufan was still wearing his denim jacket, cargo pants, and beard, observing in the venue.

"Hey, this prop is a little higher, right...... Yes, turn a little more 30° to the left and I'll see the effect. Visual effects supervisor Miao Yu instructed his subordinates to place props.

"Extraordinary, can you shoot the main plot today?" A man with a baseball cap and a sturdy step walked over, followed by an assistant.

This person is one of the leading actors of "Space Warning", a domestic first-line action star, Gu Yuan. Gu Yuan has debuted for more than ten years and is known for his dedication and toughness. Generally speaking, his salary is at least tens of millions, but this time the filming of "Space Warning" is to repay favors, so the salary is only symbolically given 900,000.

"If the props are okay, it should be fine. "Yang Bufan and Gu Yuan have known each other for many years, and the direct communication between the two is very casual.

"Can props work, you blow so well!" Gu Yuan questioned in a questioning tone, "I think you deliberately blew it in order to deceive me into making a film!"

"Lie to you, I'm a turtle egg!" Yang Bufan was anxious, "As long as they can make a seventy-percent effect of the concept map—no, sixty-percent, it will definitely be a first-class prop! If you don't believe me, I'll make a bet with you." ”

"I bet that this prop will definitely surprise you, if I lose, you will have a free job in your next movie!"

"Free part-time job, what did you say?" Gu Yuan's eyes lit up, his worth is high, Yang Bufan's worth is not low, help for free, this is a big hemorrhage!

"I said it!" Yang Bufan nodded.

"Okay!" Gu Yuan agreed directly.

"Eh, you, I haven't said what conditions you have lost! What are you doing?" Yang Bufan said speechlessly, Gu Yuan has a straightforward personality, which is something that the film and television industry knows.

"You say!" Gu Yuan said indifferently.

"If you lose, you can help......" Yang Bufan whispered something in Gu Yuan's ear.

"Okay, your kid has the idea to hit me!" Gu Yuan smiled and pointed at him.

"I can't help it, who knew that one of the producers suddenly withdrew its investment, and it would be difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice!" Yang Bufan smiled bitterly.

"Okay, but I'll inspect the goods first!"

The two came to the outfield, and on the forklift, there were movie props that had just been unloaded, all wrapped in boxes.

"It's very tightly covered, open it and take a look!" Gu Yuan shouted.

Several field staff hurriedly went over to help, and Du Mingxuan also walked in and greeted Yang Bufan and the others.

"Director Yang, all the subscripts on the list are complete, because it is inconvenient to transport, so the large props are disassembled and assembled, and now we have to find someone to assemble them. Du Mingxuan explained.

"Okay, Feng Ming, find a few more people to help. Yang Bufan shouted, and Feng Ming, the assistant director over there, arranged to go.

After a quarter of an hour, all the parts were sorted and released, and various props and parts were placed on the ground.

"Looks pretty good. Gu Yuan picked up a model of a laser gun from the ground, which was made of aluminum alloy, plated with a layer of stainless steel on the outside, and camouflage paint, as a movie prop, it was not hard, but lightweight.

Gu Yuan picked up the laser gun and made a standard posture, he was surprised: "Hey, it feels quite good, and the workmanship looks like a real gun!"

Before Gu Yuan became an actor, he also served in the army and had a certain amount of research on firearms. According to his experience, the design of this laser gun is very in line with the principle of firearms, if it is not a prop, Gu Yuan suspects that this is a new type of gun developed by the military!

"That's just a small thing, look at this!" Du Mingxuan asked the workers to open a large box, which was nearly three meters high and padded with foam.

"This is a prop costume, right? Quick, open it and let me see!" Yang Bufan said eagerly, since he saw the concept art that day, he went back and studied it repeatedly with the visual effects team, and agreed that this design was the most perfect choice, so he had been looking forward to it for a long time!

Du Mingxuan opened the bubble wrap, revealing a huge mechanical exoskeleton prop suit. It was nearly three meters tall, and its steel skeleton stood straight upright. The uninhibited design style, the "stout" robotic arms and legs, the steel torso to the legs, and the hydraulic lifting device to support and adjust the movement of the mechanical exoskeleton.

It has a metallic hue throughout, and it comes with a space livery specially designed by the VFX team. From a distance of a few meters, it doesn't look like a movie prop, but a futuristic "machine armor"!

The moment they saw this prop costume, directors Yang Bufan and Gu Yuan's eyes were straight at that time!

When the concept map in the computer really appears in front of you, the visual impact is irresistible!

"This prop costume, it's so cool!Haha, that's what you want!" Yang Bufan approached to see, the joy on his face was hard to hide, and he touched the surface of the mechanical exoskeleton with his hand, feeling the cold touch.

And Gu Yuan shouted excitedly, immediately rushed over, and asked, "Can I try on this thing?"

"Of course you can!" Du Mingxuan nodded, "You can just wear it." ”

"Is this thing moving?" Gu Yuan asked again. The costume looked so big, mostly made of metal, that he doubted he could wear it.

"Yes!" Du Mingxuan said, "It's just that the paint on the outside looks like it's made of steel, but in fact, many parts of the inside are aluminum alloys, and there are hollow designs." In addition, in the legs and parts of the robotic arm, there are some auxiliary power devices, which will not be so tiring to wear. ”

Gu Yuan was about to put it on immediately, Du Mingxuan assisted him to put it in, and after a while, Gu Yuan had already put on all the prop costumes.

"Yes, yes, it looks really exciting, Brother Yuan, try it!" Yang Bufan shouted.

Gu Yuan immediately groped for movements, raised his legs, walked, and raised his seemingly huge arms, Gu Yuan was a little unaccustomed to it at first, but his physical fitness was strong, and he quickly mastered the basic movement convenience.

"Look at me!" Gu Yuan wore a mechanical exoskeleton prop suit, running around the set, and at the same time raised the laser gun with the mechanical arm to make a mobile shooting action.

"It's handsome!" shouted to the busy staff on the set.

"Amazing, amazing!" Yang Bufan looked at this scene, was in a good mood, and said to Du Mingxuan: "Boss Du, your prop, full score of 100 points, I will score 120 points!"

Gu Yuan was happy to see the hunt, played for a while, and then ran over panting, and said: "This thing must be good for making movies!" It's still a bit heavy to move, and I'm a big man who is tired and panting for breath in a few minutes. ”

"You're content! It's nice to be able to make such a big prop like this. Yang Bufan took the initiative to say, "At most, it's a little hard when filming, but the effect is better, better than anything!"

"Yes, that's what I thought, too. That Boss Du, what else can we see?" Gu Yuan was very interested in these props.

"There are four pairs of such mechanical exoskeleton prop suits, and in addition, the spaceship is a little larger and has many parts, and it is being assembled, and it is estimated that it will take three or four hours. Du Mingxuan said.

"I've been waiting, I'm really curious, can this spaceship be the same as on the concept map?" Gu Yuan felt itchy in his heart, and now he wanted to see the appearance of the spaceship.
