Chapter 0517: The Valley of Bitan
Taught Rhubarb how to be a dog, and the follow-up shooting went much smoother.
It is mainly a small scene of life and practice, talking about Zhang Xiaofan and Tian Linger taking rhubarb to the back mountain to cut bamboo every morning on the big bamboo peak, and practicing with their senior brother in the afternoon.
With their company, Zhang Xiaofan gradually came out of the sadness of Tu Village, and Zhang Xiaofan's feelings for his senior sister Tian Ling'er also quietly changed in the process.
said it was fine, but some changes in his eyes still tested his acting skills. There were no embarrassing confessions or monologues throughout the whole process, just relying on some eyes and detailed movements to show Zhang Xiaofan's crush on Tian Ling'er.
This is still very difficult for Han Lan, after all, he has always been the object of his crush, and he has never had a crush on someone else.
Under the experience of Zhao Chengwen, these shots were successfully filmed.
Then a more important set of shots is that when he was about to cut bamboo for three years, Zhang Xiaofan met a gray-haired monkey in the bamboo forest, and then strayed into a deep valley with Tian Ling'er when chasing the monkey, and picked up a black short stick in it and successfully fused with the blood-devouring beads given to him by Master Puzhi before. Zhang Xiaofan's fate also ushered in a turning point.
The crew found a waterhole suitable for filming in a valley, and the water quality was turquoise, which was quite in line with the setting of the valley and Bitan in the movie. It's just that there is no pile of rocks in the center of the waterhole, and there is not a black short stick, which needs to be arranged in advance by the props team.
After the scene transformation is completed, pick a suitable cloudy weather in the afternoon to shoot, the tranquility inside will be more feeling, and the effect will be very good in the later color and special effects.
The gray-haired monkey in the movie is actually a spirit animal, named the three-eyed spirit monkey, which, as the name suggests, has three eyes. However, when it first encountered, it only opened two eyes, and it looked not much different from a normal monkey. So when the crew was filming, they also found four captive-bred gray-haired monkeys who looked similar, and took turns to play the three-eyed spirit monkeys in the movie.
The monkey is very active, and it is actually not very easy to shoot compared to rhubarb, and it is also because of this that one is used to see which one is in good condition.
In the later stage, when the third eye of the three-eyed monkey opens, it will need to be modeled in 3D. 3D modeling is expensive but not expensive, like the monkey in various domestic games, a set of outsourcing dozens of hundreds of dollars is available, but that thing is put in the movie minutes to play, too fake!
If you really want to do it like a real monkey, your eyes are smart, your fur is fine, and you can't tell that it is two dimensions when you stand on Han Lan's shoulder, then the price is much more expensive, and the units are calculated in 10,000.
"All units are ready, Tian Ling'er, lie down and don't move, while the monkey is in good condition now, let's hurry up and get rid of this! Begin! Following the instructions of director Zhao Chengwen, Zhu Siqi, who played Tian Ling'er, immediately lay down as a background, and a gray-haired monkey squatted next to her and scratched her ears and cheeks.
This scene was filmed with Tian Linger chasing Zhang Xiaofan after the gray-haired monkey into the valley Bitan, but Tian Linger fainted suddenly, and the blood-devouring beads in Zhang Xiaofan's arms were also ready to move.
In front of the camera, Han Lan took out the amber beads he borrowed as props from his arms with a suspicious face, and after looking at it for a long time, he didn't notice too many changes, so he withdrew it in his arms again, and then walked towards "Tian Ling'er" lying on the ground, squatted down and briefly checked her "injury", and then breathed a sigh of relief.
Han Lan picked up the amber Zhu Aya on the ground, which was also specially customized by the crew, it looked like an ordinary red silk belt, but it was actually an ordinary silk belt.
Of course, in the movie, it is a magic weapon, the five elements belong to the earth, there is no way to use it, the power is huge, it can fly with people, and it can also launch immortal magic to "bind the gods".
The camera lens had already turned to Han Lan, Han Lan put Zhu Aya down, sealed his hands quite imposingly, and shouted: "Get up!" ”
Amber Zhu Aya, no movement.
Han Lan was a little speechless, and then glared in the direction of the monkey.
Here is actually Zhang Xiaofan heard the monkey's ridicule, so he glared at him angrily.
And when shooting, it would be good for the monkey to squat there honestly, obviously it is impossible to roll on the ground with his belly covered and laughing, so he can only replace it with 3D special effects in the later stage.
"Okay, yes, Ueno-ka." Zhao Chengwen greeted and nodded at the beast trainer, who put a few wild fruits into the monkey's hand.
According to the direction of the plot, the monkey here is going to throw two wild fruits to Han Lan.
In order to shoot this scene, they had rehearsed three times in advance, but each time the monkey ate the wild fruit by itself, and did not give any to Han Lan, so angry that Han Lan wanted to fight it alone. It was not easy to teach it this action, and this time, it was finally successfully filmed.
The animal trainer gave an order off-camera, and the monkey threw the wild fruit to Han Lan, although the loss was not very accurate, but the two shots could be cut together in the later stage, and it was not a big problem.
The camera adjusted the camera position and continued to shoot Han Lan.
Han Lan picked up the wild fruit on the ground, wiped it with his clothes and took a bite.
This is real food, Han Lan will never fake it when filming.
As for whether the wild fruit is clean or not, it doesn't matter, it's clean after wiping. Han Lan is not so hypocritical, he has eaten insects when he was a mercenary before, so why would he care about this.
The camera of eating has always been his forte, this one is not very sweet, and some sour wild fruit is also very attractive to him, and it looks like a peach in the sky.
The monkeys outside the camera who had not been removed were drooling, and they looked down at the few wild fruits left in their hands very spiritually, as if they felt that their wild fruits were not as delicious as those in Han Lan's hands.
Han Lan finished eating a fruit in three bites, and was about to eat the second one, when he shook his head and put it next to "Tian Ling'er". There are also no embarrassing lines, and a small gesture can show the relationship between Zhang Xiaofan and Tian Ling'er.
"Alright, let's go, let's go!" Director Zhao Chengwen firmly grasped the rhythm and commanded.
In front of the camera, Han Lan looked panicked and took out the bead again.
According to the direction of the plot, at this time, the Blood Devouring Bead began to break through the seal left by Master Puzhi.
This also requires post-production special effects, and the bead at this time is a very ordinary and expensive amber bead. It was up to Han Lan to imagine that there was a "*" seal on it, which was gradually dimming at this time, and it was about to be broken at any time.
It's almost a non-physical performance, Han Lan has also made a lot of movies now, especially when she filmed "Escape Era" before, she basically faced all kinds of non-physical performances on the green screen, so she is very experienced.
Some of the young student actors accompanying the crew were also watching, especially observing Han Lan's expressions and eyes, which they need to strengthen their learning now. Because after the live-action footage is finished, they will go to the studio to shoot in front of the green screen, and there will be basically no physical performances at that time.
And the non-physical performance in this kind of movie is different from the kind they usually practice in school, the scenes that need to be imagined are much more complicated, and they are full of special effects at every turn.
The five colleges are willing to let their own students participate in this movie, in fact, they also take a fancy to this. Compared with most domestic movies in China, Tomahawk Entertainment's movies are actually the most satisfying to the academy. All aspects are pursuing the ultimate, and it is also pure, just to make a good movie.
Students can learn more about what they should have as an actor here, and they can better understand how a real movie is made, rather than learning how to make a stinky foot for traffic stars.
