Chapter 594 [Shooting (2)]
In order to better present the visual effects, the visual effects team specially built a cube box about six meters high and three meters wide, surrounded by an LED screen composed of 1.8 million light bulbs, and a simple movable basket in the center.
At this time, Master Li performed in this basket, often staying for more than ten hours at a time, no wonder she was afraid that she would not be able to carry it at the beginning.
1.8 million LED lights illuminate, even if the temperature outside is already below zero, the entire shooting location does not need air conditioning. It was very hot and it felt very isolating, and the whole shoot was very hard.
In order to adapt to these physically demanding shooting equipment, she also did two months of fitness before shooting, but the kind of temporary training was obviously far from enough.
"Stop, the basket is shifted to the angle and tilted a little more, and the sense of weightlessness is not enough. Chen Ergou didn't notice that there was an extra pair of curious eyes behind him, and stood up to concentrate on directing the scene.
"Director, it's already 45Β° tilted, it can't be lower. Once this angle is exceeded, the actor is in danger of falling. If the actor's body angle is rotated too much, gravity can easily cause facial congestion and distortion. β
"OK", Chen Ergou immediately asked his photographer, "Moro, more changes in perspective, the relative displacement effect of this angle is not enough." I need an actor smashing into the camera, it's too slow, what's the fastest speed we can get?"
"The fastest? I haven't tried. Moro Fiora was hesitant because it was too dangerous, "I can reach speeds of up to 40 kilometers per hour, but I don't know what the braking ability is, and I need to adjust it." β
Chen Ergou waved his hand in annoyance, and waited for the machine again, "Debug as soon as possible, it's best to stop 3 cm away from the actor's face." Filming pauses, and the actors come down to rest. β
Master Li fell to the ground with a pale face, and his whole body was drenched in sweat. Immediately, an assistant came to help her wipe her sweat, touch up her makeup, and bring her a drink, which is a specially made drink, alkaline water, which can replenish body water well.
Peng Yuyan walked over from behind, "Dog!"
Chen Ergou turned his head, suddenly showed a big smile, stood up and gave him a hug, "You came, when did you come, I didn't see you." β
Peng Yuyan said with a smile: "I just came, and I didn't go over when I saw that you were busy." How's the filming going?"
"As you can see, the progress is very slow, but fortunately, everyone's tacit understanding and proficiency are improving. β
Peng Yuyan exaggerated: "When I saw this huge light box, my scalp was already numb. Aren't you using a green screen? I'm going to perform in this in a moment?"
Chen Ergou explained slightly: "The green screen effect is too poor, so I replaced it." Lighting is different from CG environments, and if the lighting isn't right, the combined effect will look unnatural. β
"If you want to get a shot of an astronaut rotating in space, it will be very troublesome to set up the lights in green screen conditions, but in the light box, every pixel of the D screen is a light, about 1.8 million, and we can control each one individually, which gives us a lot of convenience. β
"Do you understand your role?"
"Sister Xia Meng told me, I heard that I am going to do space push-ups, I am looking forward to it. β
Chen Ergou smiled and said without much gossip: "Thank you Xiaoyu, there are not many shots, don't dislike it." Next time, if you have a chance, let's make a blockbuster together. He also led him to meet Master Li.
Peng Yuyan is here to make a cameo, he has never done training, and he needs good guidance.
Domestic sci-fi films are synonymous with rottenness, and when he comes to make a cameo, his agent is actually against it. But when I officially took over the script, I really didn't know what to say.
Peng Yuyan is more or less a plot control, and he usually has a unique set of judgment criteria when he receives the script. He didn't know what to say about this movie. A sci-fi blockbuster with an investment of 50 million US dollars should be regarded as a commercial movie, but a commercial movie with only 1.6 actors in the whole story, is there an example of such a large investment and so few actors in the history of film.
The heroine Li Shishi is considered one, the dog mother is considered half, and herself, who is only in the opening part of the movie, hangs the space push-up funny character dangling from space, can only be regarded as 0.1 actors.
How compelling can such a simple composition of characters be?
This is indeed the case, the story is very simple and clichΓ© in terms of plot.
Falling from a height, the scene of one-handed rescue can be seen in 10,000 movies, but it happened in the past in high-rise buildings, Tower cranes, mountain tops or airplanes, lonely beauties enclosed in confined spaces, showing off sexy bodies can also be seen in 10,000 movies, usually in villas, cabins, cabins next to the woods or even in different dimensions, and you can also find in 10,000 movies the American heroic ending of being single and overcoming all problems and finally getting out of the predicament, those difficulties may be at sea, or in glaciers, or deserts or fire scenes.
In a word, the script of such a movie can be as simple as 2 pages, the heroine executes the character in space, encounters an accident, the hero saves the heroine, sacrifices himself, and the heroine finally stubbornly returns to Earth with the help of Chinese astronauts...... Isn't it very unappealing?
Wrong, wrong, wrong.
When he got involved, he found out that everything was very wrong!
Old bottles of new wine, "Avatar" is a model, but the old card moved the location of rebellion from the earth to the planet Pandora, which is equivalent to creating a new world. And everything in this film takes place in space, and the film uses an unprecedented visual experience to let people see all this happening, and the use of a large number of subjective lenses makes people feel like they are breathing with the heroine.
Peng Yuyan's scene was filmed on the same day, and he did an exaggerated space push-up, and then died after being smashed through the head by satellite debris. But he stayed in the crew for three days.
Such a play, with new technology, grand scenes, and a strict crew, is placed in front of you but cannot participate, as if someone is tickling the palm of your hand.
The more I look at it, the more I like it, the more I like it, the more I lose it, "Let's go, say goodbye and bother!"
Peng Yuyan came and went, took away a large number of photos with Rengar J-20, and finally left reluctantly. The crew fell into daily life again. After stumbling and filming for two weeks, the whole shoot went a lot smoother.
β¦β¦ That's just relative.
Chen Ergou worked hard to shoot during the day, and studied materials and techniques with the main creative staff at night. Do not pursue progress, keep improving the details, and break through difficulties.
At first, let those Hollywood celebrities participate in such a Chinese-led space science fiction movie, especially for Morro, who has just finished the glory of "Avatar", Chen Ergou's high price is undoubtedly the most important reason.
But as the shooting deepened, more and more energy was put into it, and the impression also changed.
Such a space-themed film is also ranked first in Hollywood, maybe it will really have good results.
