The staff on the set were a little surprised to see Jing Tian, in the morning Jing Tian was still wearing a ponytail, looking like a cute girl next door, but now the ponytail has been cut off and has become a BOBO head, like a little boy.

Jing Tian walked up to Zhang Ran and asked flatteringly, "Master, are you still angry with me?"

"Angry? Why should I be angry? I'm angry that you didn't get out, you actually ran back again!" Zhang Ran glanced at Jing Tian and said in surprise, "Well, why did you cut your hair?"

Jing Tian smiled and said, "Master, I am cutting my ambition and starting all over again!"

Zhang Ran said coldly: "Why don't you cut your head bald?"

"I'm a girl, how can I see people if I cut my head bald? I'm a slasher, not a monk!" Jing Tian suddenly laughed, "Master, if you accept me as an apprentice, you let me cut my head bald!"

Zhang Ran said lightly: "I don't accept apprentices, and I have no interest in accepting you as an apprentice!"

Jing Tian raised his head and said with righteousness and awe: "Master, I know that you are testing me, and only by passing your test can I become your apprentice." I will definitely prove my faith, determination and courage to you, and I will definitely become a good actor!"

Zhang Ran still had no expression on his face, and said coldly: "I have no interest in your confidence, determination, and courage. No one can make you a good actor, only you can. In fact, if you want to be a good actor, it's very simple, you just have to fight with your life. If you have this kind of awareness, then you will definitely be able to become a good actor! Don't talk nonsense! You still can't act? If you don't act, get out of here!"

"Master, you're scolding again, but I won't be angry, because I know this is a test for me!" Jing Tian made a grimace at Zhang Ran, and turned his head to Wu Xingdao, who was waiting on the side, "Brother Wu Xing, I'm really sorry, this is my play, I'm late, let's act!"

Wu Xing naturally didn't say anything, this was not a face-revealing scene, played by Jing Tian, and he also ended up relaxed.

Zhang Ran ignored Jingtian, didn't say anything more, returned to the command center, picked up the teacup and drank it slowly.

Ten minutes later, the assistant director came over to inform Zhang Ran that the preparations for filming had been made and it was ready for official shooting. Zhang Ran immediately picked up the walkie-talkie and began to shout the password.

Jing Tian took a deep breath and performed with his heart.

But the pity is that Jing Tian's performance is still not over, I only heard Zhang Ran scolded loudly: "Jing Tian, what the hell are you doing! You can't do such a simple action, what else can you do? ”

The whole set was full of lamentations, it had been eleven times, and it still didn't work! However, the crew and staff were all professionals, although they were a little unhappy, but Zhang Ran said that they wanted to reshoot, and they still concentrated on making preparations for the reshoot.

Jing Tian knew that he was dragging everyone down, so he first took out the spicy strips to buy his two partners, bowed and apologized to the staff including the fireworks group, and then asked a few martial artists to go to the side with her to practice, pulling her into the air again and again, and doing tumbling and landing actions again and again.

"Power on, play board, go!"

In the monitor, Jing Tian and the two male actors ran forward at full speed, and the explosion points behind them exploded one after another, and the dust was flying all over the sky. With a bang, the explosion point at Jing Tian's feet exploded. At the same time, several martial artists pulled Wei Ya back quickly, pulling Jing Tian into the air. Jing Tian was very calm, and spun around in the air, like a swift leopard, landing steadily on the ground.

Zhang Ran finally had a smile behind the monitor, and the movements were done beautifully, so it should be no problem.

Soon the picture shot by the camera was called up, there was really no problem, the action was completed beautifully, Zhang Ran asked the special effects team about the motion capture, and there was no problem.

At this time, Zhang Ran picked up the walkie-talkie and shouted: "Very good, this shot has passed!"

The whole crew was jubilant, it was not easy to shoot such a simple scene for four days!

Jing Tian breathed a long sigh of relief, leaned back in her chair and didn't want to move, she felt that her whole body was exhausted, and she couldn't even speak; she wanted to laugh, but the muscles in her face didn't listen to her.

Since yesterday afternoon, between each reshoot, she will pull Wu Xing to practice with her, and in this more than a day, she has done this action hundreds of times, and she is really tired.

The assistant saw Jing Tian lying on the chair like a puddle of mud, and was very distressed, so he quickly took out a pack of spicy strips from his bag, tore open the bag, and handed it to Jing Tian: "Eat some spicy strips!"

Smelling the fragrance of spicy strips, Jing Tian felt like he had been beaten with chicken blood, he bounced up from his chair, grabbed the spicy strips from the assistant's hand, and devoured them: "The spicy strips are so delicious, they are so delicious!"

In the following days, Jing Tian continued to stay in the crew of "Future Apocalypse" as an extra, acting in the most tiring and difficult scenes, and Zhang Ran's attitude towards her did not change at all, cold words, cynicism, in short, he did not give Jing Tian a good face. However, Jing Tian was not angry at all, and was happy all day long, because Bai Ling told her that Mr. Zhang scolded you to show that he thinks you have talent and potential, and if he thinks that you are rotten wood and cannot be carved, he will not look at you.

A week later, Zhang Ran suddenly received a call from Zhang Yimou, saying that he wanted to come to visit the class and learn from Zhang Ran. Zhang Ran naturally welcomed him and sent Jingtian to pick up Zhang Yimou. Jingtian is also from Chang'an, and he is a fellow countryman with Zhang Yimou, so it is most suitable to send her.

After Jing Tian picked up Zhang Yimou at the hotel, he took him directly to the set, and the Chinese staff along the way couldn't stop greeting him when they saw Zhang Yimou, and Zhao Fei came over when he saw Zhang Yimou and gave him a hug with a smile. They are classmates of Nortel's 78-level photography department, and they are fellow villagers in Chang'an, and they have also collaborated on "The Red Lantern Hangs High", and their relationship is extraordinary.

After chatting with Zhao Fei for a few words, Zhang Yimou came to the command center of the crew under the leadership of Jing Tian.

Zhang Ran saw Zhang Yimou coming in, hurriedly greeted him, shook hands with Zhang Yimou, and introduced the main creator of the crew to Zhang Yimou, and then took Zhang Yimou to visit his command center and told him which is the director's monitor, which is the position of the action director, and which is the motion capture system.

In the eyes of many people, Zhang Yimou is a local old hat director, who can only shoot rural themes. But in fact, this is not the case, Zhang Yimou can be said to be one of the directors who attaches the most importance to new technologies among domestic directors. In the last life, DIT and digital high-definition photography were first used by Zhang Yimou in China, and then slowly pushed forward in China. Zhang Yimou had heard of motion capture technology, but it was the first time he had seen it, so he was very curious about it, so he asked in detail what the principle of this thing was and what effect it could bring.

Zhang Ran saw that Zhang Yimou was so interested in motion capture, so he called John Knoll over and asked him to explain it to Zhang Yimou. However, John Knoll spoke more professionally, and Zhang Yimou's English level was not very good, so Zhang Ran had to be a translator, and from time to time combined with his own understanding of motion capture to make some supplements.

was chatting happily, and the assistant director came over to inform Zhang Ran that filming could officially start. Zhang Ran smiled at Zhang Yimou and said, "Lao Mou, the filming will start soon, let's take a look with me, and point by the way!"

Zhang Yimou smiled and waved his hand: "Who can guide you? I came here to study today." ”

After coming to the monitor and sitting down, Zhang Ran took the walkie-talkie and gave the command to start shooting, while Zhang Yimou sat next to him, watching Matt Damon's performance on the monitor with great interest.

This shot is a scene where Matt Damon, who runs out of bullets, wears exoskeleton armor and fights with the robot after the robot enters the town, and it is naturally Jingtian who fights with Matt Damon.

Zhang Yimou looked at the monitor and was a little surprised, didn't Jing Tian say that Zhang Ran was crying and shouting to accept her as an apprentice, then Zhang Ran should value her very much, how could she play such a beaten role? was thrown around by Matt Damon, like a human punching bag. He smiled and asked, "Didn't you say that after having an apprentice, your heart is very tired, and you won't accept apprentices anymore, why did you accept another one?"

Zhang Ran explained with a smile: "Jing Tian is not my apprentice, she just claims to be my apprentice!"

Zhang Yimou knew that he had been fooled by Jing Tian, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was wrong, if Jing Tian was really a swaggering liar, why didn't Zhang Ran drive her away? Zhang Ran was both a producer and a director, if he really wanted to drive her away, how could she stay. However, Zhang Yimou felt that this was a matter between master and apprentice, and he was an outsider who didn't want to ask much, so he didn't say anything more.

Time flies, and by five o'clock in the afternoon, today's shooting tasks have all been completed, Zhang Ran immediately announced the end of work, and then returned to the station with Zhang Yimou. He knew that Zhang Yimou wanted to see his war scenes, and he also hoped that Zhang Yimou would give him advice, so he took Zhang Yimou to the conference room of the hotel and asked the staff to play the movie clips that had already been produced.

The film opens with a shot from the air, surrounded by white clouds and a smoky field underneath, and then the camera slowly pushes towards the ground, and Zhang Yimou sees flocks of birds flying in the air. As the camera zoomed in, Zhang Yimou realized that it was a group of drones.

With a bang, a drone was hit and disappeared into a cloud of fireworks in the air. This was followed by a series of explosions, and several drones were hit, turning into balls of fire in the air. The other drones immediately fought back, spraying rockets with tail fins. The camera wore a group of drones and continued to push towards the ground, and Zhang Yimou saw the details clearly, the human and robot armies were engaged in a big battle, and the entire battlefield was shrouded in fire and smoke.

Zhang Yimou was speechless from the next shot, which was a panning shot of a large long distance, and the entire shot slowly moved from the right side of the battlefield to the left, in which soldiers on both sides launched an orderly attack under the cover of tanks and armored vehicles. In the course of their offensive, tanks and armored vehicles were constantly blown up, and people were constantly torn to pieces by bombs. But both humans and robots are fearless and are desperately attacking. At the same time, the drones in the air dropped rockets like flocks of birds, spraying flames, smashing heavily into the crowd, smashing on tanks and armored vehicles, making earth-shattering explosions, and raising huge columns of smoke on the battlefield, and the entire battlefield was like a giant meat grinder that exuded a pungent smell of blood.

Zhang Yimou knew that the Irish side only provided Zhang Ran with a few hundred troops, but now looking at the camera, it is like a decisive battle of 10,000 troops, he knows that this must be done through special effects, but the picture is really super real, and the whole movie presents the life-and-death battle between humans and robots in the most tragic way in front of the audience through epic grand scenes.

What shocked Zhang Yimou the most was not the special effects, but the way the lens was moved, it was not a simple panning of the lens, it was not a simple panning of the lens, it was not just panning from the right to the left, it was moved back to the right after the lens was moved to the left, and then panning to the left again, and then panning back again, like a see-saw.

It wasn't until the end of this nearly two-minute long shot that Zhang Yimou exclaimed: "Ouch, this is Bondarchuk's see-of-saw long shot!"
