Chapter 65 Preliminary Preparations
(I made a mistake in the previous chapter...) Revised)
Han Shao is still very good at picking actresses, Zhao Liying is very close to the beauties in the market, the beauty is very close to life, very real, the beauty of Qingshui is just right!
I really can't imagine what actor Yang will be treated like when she plays this role!
Zhao Liying was very strange, obviously she answered very badly, but the director simply smiled and let her play the role.
Maybe it's because he wants to sell Huang Bin's face?
In short, in the end, Bai Xiaofei seemed to be very interested in her...
"On the 10th of next month, we will start filming, and the official shooting will be almost forty days, is there a problem?"
"No problem."
Huang Bin agreed before she could speak.
The next thing is to talk about the remuneration...
This kind of thing is most suitable for Gu Nianxi, she is the producer!
By the way, Gu Nianxi's secretary has already been fired - the reader said that she is mentally retarded and should not live so many chapters...
……
After a week of rest, Xiaobai devoted himself to the preliminary preparations for "Riding the Wind and Waves".
The first thing is to find a special effects company, and that crash scene must be simulated with CG!
Filming the collision of a train and a racing car will involve the combination of real shooting and three-dimensional, Xiaobai wants to use a real car to collide to complete this scene, and the cost is very high - it took almost 2 million for this scene alone...
There is only one chance to hit this shooting, and it has been prepared as early as when this project was proposed!
Film industrialization is about procedures, it is impossible to cut corners, if you can, Xiaobai also wants to use a miniature camera to shoot a toy collision, that is too fake...
Therefore, although the filming is only two months and the post-production is two months, most of the post-production is actually pre-staged, and "Riding the Wind and Waves" is not a variety movie...
This time, I was looking for Tiancai, that is, the special effects team of "Looking for the Dragon", and they listened to Bai Xiaofei's idea and gave a plan
The first is to overturn Xiaobai's expectations, they directly use CG simulation, but it will take almost half a year, Xiaobai directly refuses!
There is not enough time, and this shot, he has to show it in the form of aerial photography and slow motion, so he must shoot it really!
The second option is that they spend half a month designing the action, and then assist the CG, and the whole process takes two to three months - the amount is not very large, but it will be more difficult to design and execute.
Xiaobai chose the second plan...
And for this shooting, Xiaobai is going to use a lot of aerial photography, because there are a lot of high-altitude shots!
In fact, in traditional shooting, if the crew wants to take some higher camera positions to show the environment, they usually choose to use the rocker arm.
The swingarm is the kind of large, mobile shooting device that is up to seven meters long, and is mainly used to shoot panoramic shots...
However, there are some contradictions that are difficult to reconcile in the use of the rocker arm: if the rocker arm is set up in advance, it is easy to wear and go when shooting shots of other scenes; If you set up this set of lenses before you start shooting, you have to temporarily transport all the very heavy parts to the air, which will take a long time.
Just use drones to take aerial photos!
All of this has invisibly increased the cost of filming...
Fortunately, the actor's salary is not high - except for Deng Chao, his salary is 12 million!
No way, it's worth the price!
Fortunately, other actors are not so valuable, especially Wei Shen, who plays Luo Li, whose remuneration is less than 300,000...
……
The preparation stage of the film is a meticulous and strategic process, and empty talk will not solve anything!
As a director, Xiaobai needs to think about everything and try to perfect it as much as possible before filming starts.
Before the official start-up, every prop, every shot, and every person must be well considered, otherwise it is easy to have problems when shooting.
According to the U-shaped structure, the crew's preliminary preparations began during the filming of "Wulin Gaiden".
"Riding the Wind and Waves" will be released on the first day of the Lunar New Year, and Xiaobai plans to complete all the production in four months, and the preparation period is undoubtedly greatly compressed.
Fortunately, he used all the employees who were quite experienced, and followed him to two crews!
The assistant director is Huang Liang...
This omits the run-in time.
Many big directors have their own exclusive team or royal team, understand each other's habits when shooting, save the time to be familiar with each other, people are not machines after all, the cooperation of various departments takes time to grind out, and the main reason for choosing a familiar team is this!
According to the script requirements of "Riding the Wind and Waves", all the stories take place in Tinglin Town...
And it was Tinglin Town eighteen years ago.
Where can you find that kind of town that is rich in the times?
Thanks to the uneven development of China in recent years!
There are a bunch of nostalgic towns around bustling Shanghai: Zhangyan Old Town, Zhuhang Town, Fengjing Ancient Town...
The main filming location is Fengjing Ancient Town.
"Three steps and a bridge, one look at ten alleys"
After looking at a few pictures sent by the location inspection staff, Xiaobai immediately settled on Fengjing Ancient Town.
Gangnam town in the absolute sense!
Chen Laoba originally wanted to build a 'Tinglin Town' in the film and television base, but Bai Xiaofei refused, a very important reason, it was too late, and one more thing, he really didn't want to owe Chen Laoba any more favors...
……
There is no shortage of water in Xihong City, but there is no need for ferries.
When they came to Fengjing Ancient Town, the first thing Xiaobai and the others did was to take the ferry!
Well, let's call this thing a ferry.
It's just a piece of iron, and there are a few rubber rings hanging on both sides, swaying up and down to keep moving forward, always worried that it will sink at any time.
It's not like you're on a boat at all, but you're driving a tractor off-road.
Jiangnan Water Town, nine bends and eighteen bends, all are waterways, looking at the green bricks and green tiles built along the waterway, Xiaobai is in a very happy mood.
I have the urge to recite a poem!
It's a pity that I don't have a lot of goods in my stomach...
No wonder it is said that there are many talented people in Jiangnan, living in such an environment, how can they not chant 'There are three autumn laurels and ten miles of lotus. What about such a sentence!
It's a pity that the water quality is not good, it's just a garbage dump, and there is domestic garbage everywhere...
Xiaobai even saw the dead dog that had been floating on the water...
No wonder Fengjing Ancient Town has the title of the four famous towns in the south of the Yangtze River, but there are so few tourists!
"When are we going to eat?"
Zhang Shan, who was sitting opposite Xiaobai, took back the mobile phone that was taking pictures and asked.
“… Wait for the actors to arrive! ”
Xiaobai thought for a moment and replied.
"By the way, I heard that you found Da Tian Tian to make a cameo?"
“… That's right, she doesn't have anything to do anyway, so let her come over and make a cameo! ”
Xiaobai is ready to let Da Tian Tian play Jiayi, that is, the singer of the beloved song and dance hall, and the dream lover of Liuyi!
Why look for her?
She asked for it, of course.
Although Da Tian Tian has the title of the queen of bad movies, she is beautiful, and she doesn't want to be paid!
The main thing is the latter sentence...
"Who said she was fine, people were busy promoting "The Great Wall"!"
“… Didn't the movie only be released in December? ”
