Chapter 320: Aerial Photography
"Boss, these are the shots of me and Vare on the small island south of New Zealand, can you check and see if you need to re-shoot them?" Top entertainment in the conference room, Brody. Jenner said with a smile that next to him was Vare. Pfister, while opposite the two is Chris with a slight smile on his face. Anderson, as for Lin Yuquan, sat at the top of the middle of the conference table.
At this time, Lin Yuquan was looking at him with a serious expression, and when he left the crew, he confessed to Brody. Jenner and Vary. The filming of the Pfisters in New Zealand was not taken seriously due to the importance of scenery in the film.
Gradually, a smile appeared on Lin Yuquan's solemn face, clapped his hands and said, "Oh, it's great, I can basically find the feeling I want in your framing, thank you." ”
While believing Brody. Jenner and Vary. Pfister's work attitude and outstanding strength, but before seeing a satisfactory shot, Lin Yuquan could not really rest assured, and now he can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Chris. Anderson was also amazed after watching it, Vary. Pfister's footage is truly beautiful.
"Boss, don't be polite to us, it's our job, but it's not easy to get these shots done, and it took Valley and I three days to shoot with a helicopter." Brody. Jenner laughed.
Lin Yuquan nodded, it is naturally much more difficult for photographers to shoot pictures on a helicopter than on the ground, after all, shooting on a helicopter will be disturbed by many factors.
"Okay, I know you've worked hard, I'll treat you in the evening."
"Oh, boss. You're so polite. "That being said. Brody. The smile on Jenner's face was extraordinarily bright.
"Wow. I can save money for dinner again. "Steady and handsome Vare. Pfister also made a joke, and sure enough, whether in the East or the West, someone to treat someone is always so popular.
"It's as if you're spending your own money on room and board in a hotel." Lin Yuquan smiled at Vare. Pfister glanced at Vare, who had returned from New Zealand after receiving his call. Pfister then traveled from Chicago to Los Angeles.
"Okay, I should say that Lin you can have a better meal when you have a treat, although the cost of the meal will be reimbursed. But the reimbursement is not much, I have been poor since I was a child, but I am reluctant to add money to eat expensive. "Vare. Pfister shrugged his shoulders, although Lin Yuquan is different from any of the directors he has worked with before, he is such a special one, but many years of experience in the entertainment industry and Lin Yuquan's affinity with everyone when they get along with the crew make him have no sense of pressure when facing Lin Yuquan, and getting along with two movies in a row has made everyone feel like an old friend.
"Oh, Vare. Are you implying that the boss should increase your meal reimbursement amount? Actually, I've always felt that the amount of meal reimbursement for you is too much, and now it seems. And that's true, because you're not complaining about the poor food, it's about not being able to eat better. Lin Yuquan spread his hands and said, attracting Chris. Anderson and Brody. Jenner laughed.
Vare. Pfister showed a helpless smile, and sure enough, never quarrel with the directors, that is asking for self-suffering.
After a brief hiking episode, the conversation continued back to work.
"Now that the filming in New Zealand is over, we need to shoot some desert scenes, and we have discussed before, the desert is mainly filmed in Yellowstone and Joshua Tree National Park, and now we will discuss the specific itinerary and shooting work." Lin Yuquan said slowly.
Any magic fantasy masterpiece, the beautiful scenery in the movie is always a highlight, in this regard, Zhang Yi has done a good job, the photographer is born in his control of the picture can be called the top in China, and Zhang Yi is also the most praised in the world.
The same is true in the movie "Wild Story", of course, the scenery cannot be isolated, it needs to match the plot of the movie, and it can never be a good movie by relying on the scenery, it may be a good documentary, a good tourism promotional film, but it is by no means a good movie.
The filming in New Zealand is mainly for the life scene of the ape, because the ape live in the verdant and beautiful forest, while the desert scenery serves the cyclops, who are often dozens of feet tall and are naturally not suitable for living in the forest environment, and the desert is the most suitable site.
Taking into account the seasonal factors and the convenience of filming, the desert filming locations selected by Lin Yuquan and the film crew and the director and camera crew are the famous Yellowstone National Park and the less famous Joshua Tree National Park, which is the world's first national park and is proudly called "the most unique magical paradise on earth" by Americans. Joshua Tree National Park, located in southern California, USA, is named after the abundance of Joshua trees in the park, and the sunset scenery is particularly magnificent, featuring desert Stonehenge and exotic desert plants.
After discussing the specific details of the shooting, Brody . Jenner immediately began buying airline tickets, booking hotels and renting helicopters. Pfister went back to the hotel to pack his things and prepare for the shoot.
After the two left in a hurry, only Lin Yuquan and Chris were left in the conference room. Anderson.
"Chris, how is Zack's preparation for Spartan 300?" Lin Yuquan asked.
"At present, the setting up, the production of costumes and props, and the selection of exterior scenes are all in progress, and the next step is the audition of the actors, and when the boss comes back from filming, we can start this work." Chris. Anderson said with a smile on his face.
Lin Yuquan nodded, of course, this epic war movie with an investment of hundreds of millions of dollars could not be handed over to Zack. Schneider tossed alone, Zach. After all, Schneider is just a budding zombie film director, and no one can be completely assured that he will shoot such a large-scale production, and even with Lin Yuquan's current net worth, the loss of hundreds of millions of dollars after the failure of the movie is still not a small amount.
What's more, is there anyone in this world who is better at shooting grand war scenes than him? His appropriate intervention has obviously improved the quality of the whole movie, and it also affects the box office of the film in a certain way, whether there is Lin Yuquan's participation in "Spartan 300 Warriors", its box office is naturally different.
That's why some of the movies produced by DreamWorks, Steven. Spielberg will serve as a producer, such as "Transformers", compared to the bomber Michael Brown, who has received a mediocre response to three blockbuster films in recent years. Bey, people obviously trust Steven more. Spielberg brand.
The United States is the country with the most helicopters in the world, according to the number of 04 years, accounting for 19,000 of the world's about 43,000 helicopters, close to 50%, which is really amazing, and among them, there are about 10,000 civil helicopters. It didn't take much effort for Jenner to lease a six-seater medium-sized civil helicopter.
As for the booking of air tickets and hotel rooms, it is simpler, and compared to Yellowstone, Joshua Tree National Park, not far from Los Angeles, has naturally become the first place for everyone to shoot. Jenner, Vallée. Pfister and a photography assistant, Kevin Pfister. Pete took a helicopter and two other Pinnacle Entertainment crew members drove to the uncharted, but in no less spectacular way than Joshua Tree in other national parks.
"Oh, that's beautiful." Heaven is beautiful, Lin Yuquan condescendingly looked at the large yellow cacti with giant thorns blooming on the desert sand dunes below, he could even clearly see countless mini lizards and small mice jumping up and down in the cactus jungle, especially cute and charming, this is the first time he took a helicopter, and it is also the first time to overlook and enjoy the scenery in a low-altitude flying state, which brings him a very fresh and special feeling.
"Yes, it's beautiful, boss, you see, the big patch in front of you is the Joshua tree, this kind of tree grows extremely slowly, only about 10cm in height every year, like those Joshua trees over 10 meters have been growing for hundreds of years, in addition to Joshua Tree National Park, the open meadows of Queens' Valley also grow a lot of this tree." Brody. Jenner introduced.
"I know, this is Stonehenge." When the helicopter flew over a hill, Lin Yuquan said with a smile as he looked at the large and strange Stonehenge below.
"Yes, boss, there's a gravel henge ahead, and even a spectacular view of the gravel henge surrounding Stonehenge." Brody. Jenner laughed.
The two chatted for a while, and Vare. Pfister and assistant photographer Kevin. Pete meticulously uses his eyes instead of the camera to capture the beautiful desert images, while considering the details of aerial photography in his mind in combination with the terrain.
The nearly 40-minute low-altitude flight in Joshua Tree National Park made Lin Yuquan's mood quite happy, and after carefully surveying the specific landform and terrain, the real aerial photography has just begun.
Joshua Tree Park is a lesser-known national park, and the road was only built this year, only open from 8 o'clock in the morning on Friday to 10 o'clock in the evening on Sunday.
After some discussion, a helicopter with a special camera for aerial photography worth up to $1 million took off again. Pete sat next to the pilot, communicating with the pilot from time to time about the route and angle of the plane, while Lin Yuquan and others watched the aerial effect on the ground through the Guò monitor, and kept talking to Kevin about the effect. Pete communicates.
After an hour of filming in the morning and a break in the afternoon, the filming of Joshua Tree National Park was fully completed due to the excellent sunset scenery of Joshua Tree National Park and nearly an hour of dusk shooting.
At the end of the day's shooting, Lin Yuquan was not the slightest tired, today's low-altitude flight of the helicopter left a deep impression on him, although he had already seen many cultivators shuttling through the mountains and seas in the memory of cultivators, but the completely different scenery and flight state still made him feel a different charm, no wonder there are many people who play private jets like sports cars and yachts.
