In real action, the direction and speed of the camera movement are preset, and all other elements such as the movement of the actors, the performance, the movement and stopping of the car, and even the house must be accurate. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoAs long as there is a slight difference, you can't catch it, so you can only reshoot.

Before the actual shooting, Zhang Ran made careful calculations of the lens, simulated the movement of the lens with a computer, and only knocked out the shooting plan after confirming that it was feasible. When shooting, they are also strictly in accordance with the shooting plan, and each shot is marched according to a precise pace.

The editor picked up a short scene of the sky behind Song Zhuer's shot of the paper airplane flying into the sky, and then connected the shot of Zhang Jingchu buying fish in the vegetable market behind the sky. The whole shot is connected together, Song Zhuer's paper airplane flew out of the community and flew to the vegetable market next to the community, where Zhang Jingchu was selling fish. Today is the day when my sister-in-law returns to the door, and as a sister-in-law, I must treat her well. In front of the fish stall in the vegetable market, Zhang Jingchu found that it is rare to buy fresh fish, but today there are many of them, and the price is very cheap, so she asked what was going on? The fish seller told her that it was strange these days, and the fish was very good.

The shot of Zhang Jing's first fish purchase was shot in front of a green screen, and after the camera was connected, the special effects editor simply composited the background, replaced the green screen with the background of the vegetable market, and then added color grading, music, and sound effects.

By the time the editor put the sample together, everyone felt that the lens connection was quite good. The only problem is that after the two lenses are connected, there are no paper airplanes in the second half, and the real effect cannot be seen.

Zhang Ran turned his head to the painter and said, "You draw a paper airplane, add it and see how it works!"

There are a lot of special effects shots in "Tangshan Earthquake", and many shots need to be synthesized. For example, if a person is hit by a telephone pole that falls in the air, it is impossible to really use the telephone pole to smash the actor, the actor first does the action of being hit, and then adds the telephone pole through special effects, and the effect of the person being hit is synthesized. It's just that during the shooting, the special effects were not done well, and it took a long time to do it, and it was impossible to do it immediately on the spot to show the director the effect. So there is often a special draftsman on the scene, as long as the director needs it, tell him to draw a telephone pole for me, draw a background, he can draw the telephone pole, draw the background, and then add it to the picture, let the director see how the effect is.

The draftsman quickly drew a paper airplane and added it to the picture. So, the whole picture became, Song Zhuer flew the paper airplane into the sky, the paper airplane circled in the air, flew out of the community, flew to the vegetable market next to it, and flew to the stall where Zhang Jingchu was buying fish.

Of course, since the paper airplane is hand-painted, it looks fake, but it doesn't matter, and the paper airplane made by special effects will be replaced later, so it will be real. Now the main thing is to see if the movement of the lens is smooth after the paper airplane is added. When I didn't add paper airplanes, the whole shot looked weird, but now the effect comes out at once, and the movement of the whole shot is so smooth that it is completely unnoticeable that it is assembled.

The staff present nodded insufficiently, the rental of this lens was perfect, it was natural, and there was no trace of human assembly.

Yu Feihong sighed: "This is also too advanced, no wonder you emphasize the film industry all day long." With your technical leaders, I think our Chinese movies will catch up with Hollywood in a few years!"

Zhang Ran shook his head lightly: "It's still far away, if you want to catch up with Hollywood, it will take at least twenty years!"

Yu Feihong was taken aback: "Ah, such a big gap? But you guys are already very advanced!"

Zhang Ran smiled bitterly: "The movie is a whole, what's the use of catching up with Hollywood in just one aspect? For a simple example, you know that we want the picture effect of the movie to be close to the feeling of "Saving Private Ryan", but if we shoot on film, even if we use the same film, the same camera, and even the same picture, but none of our domestic printing factories can wash the same effect, this is the gap. ”

Yu Feihong was stunned, in her opinion, the film washing out of the movie should not be much different: "Why can't it be washed out?"

Ning Hao, who is from the Department of Photography, is very familiar with printing technology, explaining: "Two years ago, the photographer of "Seven Deadly Sins" Dares Kangji went to Nortel to communicate and talked about the printing of "Seven Deadly Sins" using silver processing. After the exchange, the teacher of the photography department asked the technical backbone of the printing factory to use silver to rinse, and experimented many times, but it just couldn't wash the effect. "Saving Private Ryan" uses the same printing technology, and the technical difficulty is higher, so it is normal that it cannot be washed. ”

Yu Feihong was speechless for a moment, the gap in printing technology alone is so big, and other aspects are only afraid that the gap will be even bigger.

Speaking of the current situation of China's film industry, Zhang Ran couldn't help but sigh: "The gap between us and Hollywood is not in the equipment, but in technology, we lack excellent technical talents." The printing is good, after all, there are special printing factories, and the difference between lighting and art is greater, such as Sony's F900 camera, which is also used by many people in China, but you can look at the picture effect shot in our country, and then look at the picture effect of Lucas's "Attack of the Clones". Someone else gets a machine that can get 90% of the performance, but we often only get 3 or 40% of the performance. China Film Hualong Digital has imported a lot of advanced equipment from the United States, which is better than the equipment of many special effects companies in Hollywood, but have they made decent special effects?"

Yu Feihong nodded and said, "That's why you established the Asian Film Academy." ”

Zhang Ran laughed: "This is also something that can't be helped, we can't just do nothing, just wait, right? When "The Lord of the Rings" was filmed, no one in New Zealand could do special effects, and the country was very small, Peter Jackson and they bought computers, recruited people, and formed a team, which is why we have the current Weta." If Peter Jackson had just complained, stupid, etc., there wouldn't have been Vita. ”

Yu Feihong looked at the smile on Zhang Ran's face, and felt a little emotional, the difference between Zhang Ran and Wang Shuo's gang is really too big, they are a group of people who really love movies!

At this moment, the door was pushed open, and Zhang Jingchu, Yang Mi, and Chang Jirong walked in with supper.

The crew members are all old people who have followed Zhang Ran for several years, and they know that as long as Zhang Jingchu is in the crew, they will buy supper for everyone every night. When they saw Zhang Jingchu and they came over with a supper, they put down the work in their hands, thanked them, and took the supper with a smile on their faces.

The filming of "Tangshan Earthquake" went very smoothly, and it only took five days to complete all the location scenes before the earthquake.

After the filming of the location scene, it is necessary to tear down the entire scenic spot, arrange it in the state after the earthquake, and start filming the scene after the earthquake. How to express the scene of the earthquake, Zhang Ran and the crew worked hard. At first, it was planned to use blasting, but after testing, it was found that the state after blasting was different from the collapse effect caused by the earthquake, and finally the crew chose to partially demolish the building, and the building where Zhang Jingchu and Wang Luodan's house was located needed to show the entire collapse process, which could only be completed by blasting.

In order to make the state of the house after the collapse close to the real state after the earthquake, Zhang Ran and the others did not let the excavator directly knock down the house, but tied ropes to the wall and pulled the house down through machinery.

The master of the construction company was busy all day before the houses in the entire shooting area were pulled down and arranged to look like after the earthquake. Only the building where Zhang Jingchu's family is located, as well as the building where Wang Luodan and Cao Bingkun live, still maintain their original appearance.

The collapse of Zhang Jingchu's house is the key scene of the movie, and the process of collapse needs to be shown, so the collapse of the building can only be completed by blasting, and then corrected by computer special effects in the later stage, so that the effect looks like it collapsed;

At half past eight in the evening, half an hour before the blasting, a cordon had already been set up outside the building. Outside the cordon, Zhang Ran was dispatching and directing at this moment, holding a walkie-talkie in one hand and a megaphone in the other, staring nervously at various dispatches on the scene.

In July, the special effects team had already scanned the building with special equipment, and the machine was so advanced that the whole building was transparent when one of them was there, and the proportions of each brick were clear. After scanning, the special effects team created a 3D model of the building, so that the computer could be used to create the special effect of the collapse of the building, and then composite it with the real scene of the building explosion to complete the special effect of the collapse of the building.

There are not many fireworks special effects in "Tangshan Earthquake", but Zhang Ran still invited the Williams team from Hollywood. When filming "Time and Space Warrior" before, everyone cooperated happily, and the Williams team readily agreed to Zhang Ran's invitation. The blasting of the building in front of them, as well as the blasting of the building where Wang Luodan's house is located in the back, will be completed by them.

Zhang Ran has high requirements for blasting, when blasting, the collapse of the house should be as close as possible to the effect of the earthquake collapse, and the ruins left after the blasting must also be close to the effect of the earthquake. It was also a test for the Williams team, for which they conducted several trials.

Fifteen minutes later, Zhang Ran picked up the megaphone and shouted: "In the last fifteen minutes, everyone retreats to a safe distance!"

Except for the Williams team, who was doing the final checks, the rest of the staff retreated to the safety line. Soon, Yu Feihong ran over and told Zhang Ran that the Williams team was ready. Zhang Ran nodded, a little resolute flashed on his face, and then he raised the megaphone and shouted to everyone: "Begin!"

The tweeter begins the final countdown: "...... 3，2，1。 Detonator!"

Boom -

There was a muffled sound, and the ground shook slightly. Everyone saw that the five-story building in front of them began to collapse inward like dominoes while billowing smoke and dust.

In less than ten seconds, the entire building was in ruins, and then the dust that obscured the sky scattered from the ruins, while the sprinkler trucks that had been on standby were working at full speed to reduce the dust.

When the smoke and dust cleared, Zhang Ran walked to the ruins and looked at it, and couldn't help nodding slightly. William is worthy of being one of the best pyrotechnicians in Hollywood, and after careful calculations and tests before the explosion, the ruins after the explosion are in a very ideal state, which is the earthquake ruin effect that Zhang Ran wants. Of course, the footage just shot was obviously blown up, and it still had to be corrected by computer special effects.

Many of the actors in the crew saw the spectacular scene of the blasted building for the first time, and they were more excited, and they were all chattering.

Zhang Ran clapped his hands at them and said, "Okay, go back to rest early, especially Dandan, you will have the most scenes tomorrow, and there are several rain scenes, go back and rest early!"

Wang Luodan grimaced at Zhang Ran: "Got it!"

Zhang Ran ignored her and took a look at the sky overhead, the weather had begun to get cooler, but the movie reflected the events of July, actors need to wear pants and vests to shoot rain scenes, and the rain will be very cold when poured on their bodies, so the rain scenes must be filmed as soon as possible, and they must not be delayed until October.
