Yiwu Airport, which is far from the center of the city, is the first county-level civil aviation airport in China, which originally belonged to the second-class airport for naval training, and later changed to a military-civilian joint use because of transportation needs. Over the years, with the rise of the tourism project of Hengdian Film and Television City, this small airport with few flights has achieved leapfrog development, and even squeezed into the top 50 of 148 civil aviation transport airports in China.

In the hall of the pick-up exit of the voluntary airport, a group of men and women are standing in the designated pick-up area, and many people look at the time in their hands from time to time, and look at the exit from time to time, looking very eager.

Wang Luodan is one of them, she is dressed very ordinarily today, so no one recognizes her, of course, she has only starred in a popular drama series Female No. 2, in fact, she doesn't know too many people, maybe this situation will not change until mid-May after the broadcast of "I Am Special Forces".

"Waiting for someone to wait for time is really slow." Wang Luodan looked at the timetable displayed on the screen above the exit with a bitter face, there were still twenty minutes left, and the flight from Kyoto to Yiwu had only arrived, in order to pass the time, she could only play the snake game on her mobile phone over and over again.

In the long wait, twenty minutes finally passed, when the hall sounded the news of the arrival of the flight from Kyoto to Yiwu, Wang Luodan suddenly clenched his fists excitedly, hurriedly quit the game, put the mobile phone in his pocket, and looked at the exit with bright eyes.

This time, it didn't take long for there to be movement inside the exit gate, like a tidal wave pouring out of the gate, black and pressing, and a large group of people with more or less luggage poured out of the exit gate.

Wang Luodan's eyes searched in the crowd, focusing on those wearing masks, and soon, she found the target, although she couldn't see the appearance clearly, but she was very familiar with Liu Yifei, of course she recognized the other party, and she hurriedly beckoned.

Wang Luodan didn't have any disguise, which naturally made it easier for Liu Yifei to find her, seeing Wang Luodan waving at her, a smile suddenly appeared on her face, she looked at her side imperceptibly, and immediately walked towards Wang Luodan.

"Yifei, I've been waiting for you for a long time, hey, you're Liu Shishi." Wang Luodan looked at the beautiful girl who followed Liu Yifei in surprise.

"Hello." Liu Shishi greeted with a smile, and she didn't do any pretense, because there was no need for that.

Wang Luodan was indeed surprised, she knew that Yifei would come over with the company's newly signed actress to make a cameo appearance as a fox demon, but she didn't expect that the other party was Liu Shishi, who she met during the audition for "Painted Skin" last time, but she also knew that now was not the time to speak, so she said: "The car is waiting outside, let's get in the car and talk!" ”

"When did you join our Rainsprings family?" As soon as she got in the car, Wang Luodan immediately couldn't wait to ask Liu Shishi, she had too many questions in her heart.

Lin Yuquan met Liu Shishi and Liu Yifei on the set, not only the two, but also several other actors who came to make cameos also came to visit Shuguang Film and Television Base as soon as they put down their luggage.

"Hey, Yifei, Shi Shi, long time no see!"

Lin Yuquan suppressed the excitement in his heart, because there were other people present, except for smiling brighter than before, he didn't show anything unusual.

Of course, Liu Shishi also knew this, but he just showed a sweet smile, all without saying anything.

Liu Yifei nodded lightly.

Lin Yuquan smiled and shook his head, what's wrong with this Nizi, she doesn't seem to be very happy!

In a spacious building of Shuguang Film and Television Base, the crew is all busy, Zhang Shuping and Xi Zhongwen instructed the staff of the art department and props department to build a green background for special effects shooting, and Mai Lu, the visual effects director from Industrial Light & Magic. Cassie strictly checked whether the construction was up to standard, and the special effects that needed to be shot on a green screen in "Painted Skin" would be filmed intensively in the next three days.

At the same time, gaffers and photographers are busy adjusting lighting equipment and lenses, lighting arrangement plays a vital role in keying shooting, and the use of green screen keying can not only save time and cost in the early shooting, but also save a lot of costs in the later stage.

"Director Lin, the green screen construction has been completed." Zhang Shuping walked over and said.

“OK。” Lin Yuquan nodded, and in the process of walking towards the set, he looked at the layout of the set, today's shooting can be described as extremely important, and he naturally attaches great importance to it.

The most exciting scenes in "Painted Skin" are the fists and swords of the warriors and the demon confrontation between the fox demon and the wolf demon, as well as the spell battle between the immortal cultivator and the fox demon and the wolf demon.

And the most concentrated part of the special effects system is the green screen shooting. The so-called green screen shooting refers to the actors' plot interpretation against a green background, telling dialogue, and making movements. After the green screen shooting is completed, you can easily arrange the corresponding background you need in the computer.

The construction of the green screen is the basic work, but the details determine the success or failure, and there must be no sloppiness.

Generally speaking, when building a green screen, we should pay attention to four points: the background is smooth and without wrinkles, the brightness is uniform, there is no light leakage, and the tracking point is obvious, which is convenient for keying, correct environment and correct lighting.

Lin Yuquan nodded quietly, in his opinion, there is basically no problem with Zhang Shuping's arrangement, but he is not an expert, and in this regard, the judgment of experts should be the mainstay.

Without stopping, Lin Yuquan went straight to Manlu. Cassie smiled and said, "Hey, Manlou, what do you think of the green screen?" Is it time to start shooting?

Manlou. Cassie smiled with satisfaction: "Lin, there's no problem, you can shoot." ”

"Good work." Lin Yuquan smiled, and then said to the assistant director Fu Guang: "Director Fu, notify the actors to start filming, let's shoot the battle between Zhou Xun and Li Lianjie first." ”

"Okay, Director Lin." Fu Guang nodded and walked outside.

It didn't take long for Fu Guang to lead Zhou Xun and Li Lianjie, who had already put on makeup, to the set.

"I've kept you waiting, I'm going to tell you about the first pose you're going to shoot." Lin Yuquan came to the two of them with a smile.

In "Painted Skin", there are two confrontations between Xiao Wei and Li Lianjie played by Zhou Xun, one is to expose the identity of Xiao Wei's demon fox, Xiao Wei wants to be a killer, and the other is the final battle in the cave.

This is no simple feat, as the actors are dancing to the air in an empty studio with no set at all in most cases, and it's not so easy to get the action right.

As early as two days ago, the screenplay for the green screen shooting had been handed out to the actors, and the actors had already rehearsed the poses and movements to be filmed for their roles.

Immediately Zhou Xun and Li Lianjie began to demonstrate in front of Lin Yuquan, after correcting the two people's postures and movements were not in place, Lin Yuquan carefully told the details of the attention paid to during the shooting, and then guided the two to move in strict accordance with the prior arrangement.

After the two of them were almost familiar with each other, Lin Yuquan sat down in front of the monitor screen.

"Everyone's in place."

As Lin Yuquan's words sounded, Zhou Xun, Li Lianjie, the film crew, and the lighting engineer, everyone moved.

Different from the actual shooting, because the special effects scenes are basically shot in the blue and green screens, there is no virtual scene screen at the scene during the shooting, and there are different difficulties in the actors' movements, lens control, lighting layout, etc., and in the post-production, it will cause all kinds of problems, and the special effects shooting needs to be repeatedly modified, reshot, and reshot shots, which increases the difficulty of making the product, prolongs the production cycle, and greatly increases the cost of making the product.

Therefore, in order to avoid or reduce the occurrence of such situations, directors often use pre-visual preview technology when making special effects shots, and simply make the required shooting content before the special effects shots are officially filmed, and use low-mold and simple animation to show the general direction of actors' movements, framing, camera angles, camera movements, etc., for the director, camera crew and other people to refer to when shooting.

With the pre-visual preview, what everyone did was shoot according to the pre-arrangement.

"Alright, listen to me, let's go."

The first pose action of the shooting is Li Lianjie slowly pulling out the sword, the sword is pointed at Zhou Xun, don't look at the ordinary now, if you wait for the special effects to be completed, the process of drawing his sword will be accompanied by the roar of the dragon and the tiger.

“cut。” Lin Yuquan got up from the monitor screen and casually picked up a prop sword beside him: "Brother Jie, you have to appear slower and harder when you draw the sword, just like I am now, in addition, while the facial expression is dignified, you must also show your momentum, you think about it, the hand is more calm and powerful, the eyes, yes, the eyes are good, that's it, let's do it again." ”

"Attention, everyone, listen to me, action."

In the monitor screen, Li Lianjie played by Pang Yong with a solemn expression, although he is already a top martial arts master, but this time he is facing the opponent is the mysterious demon fox, he can't help but be dignified, some time ago, he and Wang Jiajun fought with the wolf demon who was evil in the city, and as a result, many people were damaged, but he still couldn't help the wolf demon, the monster's spell and body were too strong, and even if he didn't use the giant crossbow to defend the city at that time, he couldn't force the wolf demon back, And now he is the only one who faces this terrible demon fox.

But he was not afraid, no matter what, he wanted to expose the true face of this demon fox, otherwise the people who left the city would be in danger, a trace of resoluteness flashed in his eyes, Pang Yong slowly pulled out the sword that had accompanied him for many years, and pointed at the demon fox from afar, at this moment, he seemed to have returned to the battlefield many years ago in the face of thousands of troops.

"Cut, that's great." Lin Yuquan applauded applauded: "Okay, let's take advantage of the victory and chase and shoot the next shot." ”

After an hour of fighting, I finally finished filming the part of the battle between Zhou Xun and Li Lianjie.

"Thank you for your hard work."

"Wow, I'm so tired, I feel so tired more than I usually shoot." Li Lianjie moved his hands and feet, and said a little tiredly.

"Of course, it's so easy to perform without a set, without a supporting person." Lin Yuquan smiled, he was in a very good mood, in a live-action special effects movie, many people only saw gorgeous special effects, but ignored the performances of the actors, in fact, the performance of the actors is the most critical, there is no good performance, no matter how good the special effects are, it is just a virtual appearance, only on the basis of a good performance, supplemented by excellent special effects, can it bring real excitement.

"Yes, it's really difficult, but fortunately, the filming is finished now." Zhou Xun smiled slightly.

"It's over, who said that." Lin Yuquan smiled again.

Zhou Xun smiled bitterly, this is just two scenes, how many more scenes does she have? Li Lianjie's expression is also similar to her, as the protagonist of the martial arts scene, he has more special effects scenes than Zhou Xun, bitter!

"Hehe, you guys rest first, I'll shoot your other scenes in the afternoon, I'll shoot other scenes first."

"Okay."

"Then let's go back first."

"Hmm." Lin Yuquan nodded, turned to Fu Guang and said, "Let Jiang Qingqing and Zhang Ziyi come over, let's shoot the special effects scene in Fox Demon Valley." ”

The fairyland-like Fox Demon Valley is naturally not something that can be filmed with real shots, and only with special effects can the incredible scene be shown.

Soon, following Fu Guang, eight beauties wearing beautiful ancient costumes and gauze skirts walked in, Jiang Qingqing, Zhang Ziyi, Li Binbin, Cheng Hao, Zeng Li, Che Yongli, Liu Yifei, Liu Shishi, the eight of them stood together, it was really a beautiful scenery.

If others see such a lineup, they will definitely be extremely shocked, you must know that Jiang Qingqing, Zhang Ziyi, Li Binbin, Cheng Hao, and Liu Yifei are all popular first-line actresses, and it is incredible that such a bright lineup actually came to make a collective cameo in a scene.

Of course, people who think it is incredible will only be the general public, but people in the entertainment industry think that this is too normal, what kind of movie is this, this is a new work with an investment of 300 million, directed by Lin Yuquan, the most eye-catching director in China, and it is also a rare opportunity to make a cameo in the movie, I don't know how many actresses wish they could make a cameo! Not to mention showing his face in the world, just being able to get to know Lin Yuquan is a big gain.

"I've kept you waiting, I'll tell you about the details of the shooting."

The shooting of the special effects was indeed a painful and troublesome project, and since the actors were not easy to get into under the green screen shot, it was expected that it would take five days to complete the shooting.

After the completion of the special effects shooting, the crew's filming is about to enter a new state, Lin Yuquan is not only filming, but also arranging the work of location shooting, in addition to the shooting of leaving the city, there are three important scenes, one is the Fox Demon Valley, one is Wang Sheng's extermination of the mountain bandits, rescue Xiao Wei, and the other is the final stage of the cave battle, in which the Fox Demon Valley is made with special effects, and the other two scenes will be filmed.

Time passed slowly and quickly in the shoot. R1152
