Dong Xuan nodded silently, not knowing what he was thinking. It can be seen that he is still a little frustrated when he is called by the director two or three times.

Because the scene was a graduation ceremony, the whole scene was filmed on a lawn in the corner of the campus. In order to avoid students from watching, they used a large number of security forces today. In addition to the school's security office and the cadres of the student union, Han Li also hired a security company to be responsible for the security and order of today's scene.

There is no way, this is at school, and there are so many students watching, once something happens, it will definitely be a big deal. This will have a huge impact on their drama, so they have to be cautious.

For this reason, there are many students participating in today's scene, and they play the same senior graduates as the protagonists in the play.

Although they all volunteered, the crew prepared a beautiful little gift for everyone and provided them with lunch.

For this lunch box alone, the crew prepared 800 servings.

After eating and resting for a while, the scene immediately started filming again.

It can be seen that after some self-adjustment, Dong Xuan has made great progress, but there is still a distance from director Tong Yongjun's requirements.

"Card, it's a lot of progress from before, but it could be a little better. Let's do it again. ”

"Come, all departments ready, three, two, one, action!"

……

"Card, no, pay attention to your expression. In addition, control it on the spot, do small actions, and students who play with mobile phones put it down, hold on, and we will be fine immediately! ”

……

repeated this scene, Tong Yongjun filmed five or six times, and finally showed a smile.

In the next scene, the sports car is ready, and the female one, female two, male two and the actors are ready to enter.

This scene requires the use of a rocker arm and a track, so it is more troublesome. Fortunately, these have been prepared for a long time, so it will not be long.

With an action! , the camera on the crane arm moves slowly. I saw a convoy of two Porsche sports cars and a Wrangler jeep slowly driving from a distance and parked on the edge of the lawn where the graduation ceremony was held.

Hearing the sound of the car, these students turned their heads one after another, revealing envious and curious eyes.

I saw Shangguan Xinyue, played by Tian Lu, wearing a red dress and a short skirt getting out of the sports car. took off his sunglasses and revealed a beautiful and delicate face, looking at the graduation ceremony with more interest.

When she saw Xu Ran played by Dong Xuan among her classmates, Shangguan Xinyue smiled, and then beckoned to him, causing a burst of cheers from the surrounding classmates.

Xu Ran, who was a little blushing, walked out of the crowd, stood in front of Shangguan Xinyue and smirked, "Why are you here?" ”

Shangguan Xinyue glanced at Xu Ran, who was wearing a bachelor's uniform, and said with a slight smile: "Come to pick you up, there is a new journey waiting for us." ”

When Xu Ran heard this, a smile appeared on his face. The camera looks down at the lens and slowly zooms out.

"Ka, good!"

……

The first day's drama is basically over, and the actors and others can go back to the hotel to rest. Items from the site were also removed.

However, the crew did not evacuate, but left a shooting team to shoot some empty footage.

What is an empty shot, in simple terms, is a shot where no actors appear. It is generally used for the introduction of the environment in the play and the interspersed use of the plot.

In fact, the leading actor Dong Xuan still has a few scenes in school, but they are all indoor scenes, which can be directly filmed in the studio, so as to reduce the impact of the surrounding environment on the shooting.

The filming continued, and the main shot was the city exterior shot. Such as acquaintances in cafes, shopping for supplies in shopping malls, visiting experts in hutongs, and so on.

These scenes are relatively few, but they are more trivial, so there are more transitions. And this can be regarded as a kind of run-in for all the main creators of the crew.

At least during these days of shooting, some trust and tacit understanding have been established between everyone.

Just like Han Li said before, this drama must be refined and filmed well, so sometimes in a scene, it is normal to press the machine seven or eight times.

And among them, the leading actors account for the highest proportion. Among the leading actors, Tian Lu is the most pressed. Even sometimes the director lost his temper and rarely burst into foul language, which made Tian Lu feel a little aggrieved.

It is said that Tian Lu, who was still secret, cried several times in private. But who let this be her own choice, so even if she gritted her teeth, she had to swallow it herself.

Of course, during urban shooting, it is inevitable that people will be watching, and even cause a lot of riots. So there are a lot of popular landmark attractions, and the crew and the leading actors can't go to shoot in person.

Under normal circumstances, this situation can only be a second resort. But Han Li and the others have cooperated with the local propaganda department, and the local government has also given a lot of support to this play.

So in order to give back to them, Han Li and they also want to show more of the city's style in the play as much as possible. It's a shame that we can't shoot at these popular landmarks and attractions.

In order to make up for this regret, and in order to better show the style of the city, and to enrich the picture and content of this play, Han Li and they have thought of a lot of ways.

One of the main ways to do this is to use Hollywood's street view and outdoor shooting methods.

In fact, in Hollywood, the same troubles will be encountered when filming this kind of scene, or even more serious. In addition to causing onlookers to affect the order, the strange eyes and movements of these pedestrians on the street will also be presented in the camera, and even goofs.

On the other hand, in Laomei, the law on the protection of personal rights and interests is relatively strict. Therefore, presenting his image in film and television dramas without the authorization and consent of the pedestrian is a serious infringement, and the film and television drama crew and the company will face prosecution and huge compensation.

So in order to solve these sufferings, these street scenes and pedestrian shots and images actually shot in Hollywood were actually shot in the studio and combined with real scenes.

In China, although there is no need to consider the issue of portrait rights, it is still more troublesome to shoot in these popular locations. So in order to solve this problem, the domestic urban crew thought of three solutions.

First of all, the first type is forced filming. Ask a security company for help, and then contact the local public security and other relevant departments for help. Then forcibly vacate a part of the space in the area where you want to shoot for the crew.

In the past, many urban street scene scenes came about like this. At that time, both the public and law enforcement departments did not have the awareness to manage this, and they were even very willing to help.

But with the increasing awareness of the law and the need for urban management, especially the maintenance of order. This method of forcibly evacuating and filming in popular areas is becoming more and more unpopular. It also affects the normal order of the city more and more, so it is gradually banned by various cities.

Of course, if you encounter some major news, programs, and the filming of important film and television dramas, as long as you communicate well with the local authorities, you can still get relevant help.

But Han Li and they are just an ordinary crew, and Anxi is an important provincial capital, so it is naturally impossible for this situation to affect the order of the city. So this first method is basically useless, and naturally it is rejected.

And the second method is actually a candid shot, which can also be called a surprise shot. In fact, it means that while people are not being taken, secretly and quickly shoot the required shots.

In fact, the way to take candid photos (surprise shots) on the streets in China is to learn from Hong Kong and Taiwan, because there are many such cases there. There will even be incidents such as a certain crew filming gangster scenes on the street, being called to the police by the public, etc.

As for this third method, it is the most used by Hollywood. That is to shoot using the green screen (blue screen) of the studio.

In general, a close-up view of the street or scenic spot is built in front of a green screen (blue screen) in a studio, and then the main actor shoots the performance in front of the green screen (blue screen). After that, the post-production special effects compositing technology is used to synthesize some computer-generated and pre-related on-site shots with them, so that the immersive scenes of the protagonists can be presented in the play.

This technology naturally has many advantages, in addition to avoiding the effects of on-site distractions, it can also be controlled by time. You can even simulate all kinds of weather and even various environments in the studio.

It's just that in this way, you have to rely on the support of late-stage synthesis technology. Once it is involved in the post-production special effects synthesis, the cost is naturally several times higher than the first two methods.

Therefore, after carefully analyzing the advantages and disadvantages of several methods, Han Li and the others finally chose the third way.

First of all, the footage and images captured in this way are clean and unaffected by other information.

Secondly, there are not many of these lenses, and the shooting cost is not very high, so it is still acceptable.

Of course, some can be shot in the studio with a green screen (blue screen), while others have to be shot on location.

For example, in the early stage of this drama, there is a very exciting scene or clip, which is actually the appearance of the female first Shangguan Xinyue and the male second Mi Hao.

First of all, in the character setting of this drama, the second male Mi Hao is a rich second generation with a relatively wealthy family. Secondly, he is a driver, or a car enthusiast. In addition to his love for cars, he also loves modified cars and prefers racing cars.

Therefore, in the play, Mi Hao's appearance is in the racing car.

, after casually posting the half of the ancient map that Xu Rantao came back to Weibo, Mi Hao went to prepare for his evening car race.

Unexpectedly, Shangguan Xinyue, the heroine who collected information on the Internet, found Mi Hao on the track according to clues. and met Xu Ran through Mi Hao's relationship, which opened the official content of the whole play.

In order to shoot this racing scene, Han Li not only borrowed some sports cars through Wu Fatzi's relationship, but also borrowed a winding mountain road in the southwest of Anxi.

For this reason, they asked the traffic police department to help block this winding road for the filming of the entire racing scene.

Of course, in a racing scene like this on a winding road, it is naturally impossible for the actors to play in person. So they can only use a stand-in, and the stand-in they hired this time is also a well-known driver in the Northwest racing circle.

And in order to ensure the safety of these riders, Han Li specially asked the riders not to be too fast. All you need to do is play some cool moves, clean and clean. As for the racing feeling of the car, it can be produced in post-production. For example, take out some frames, or compress time to make the car look faster.

Because the racing scene was filmed in the evening, this caused a lot of difficulties for filming. In order to shoot a shot of several cars racing on a winding road, the crew spent a lot of effort.

Whether it's a long-range wide-angle lens, a close-up shot, or some camera mounted on the car. As well as each bend and some places with better framing, Han Li and they all arranged cameras to shoot covertly in the roadside woods.

And in order to achieve a more cool lens effect, they also used drones for aerial photography this time. In the first or two years, although DJI has been out for a few years. However, drone technology, especially civilian drones and drones used for filming, is far less advanced than that of later generations, so this can only be explored by the photographer and the entire crew.

So shortly after the filming began, one of their drones for aerial photography crashed into a treetop due to the darkness of the night, causing it to fall and break.

Accidents and thrills are not limited to this time, for example, when they were filming a racing scene, suddenly a motorcycle crossed the roadblock and rode up from the bottom of the mountain. If it weren't for Yamashita's quick notice, I'm afraid it would have really caused a major accident.

"Tian Lu, the expression you turn around with is a little cooler and cooler. Yes, that's it, put some expressions away. But don't tighten it too tightly, relax it a little, it's too stiff. ”

"Chen Yiming, let go a little. In the play, Mi Hao is a racing enthusiast, this is his territory, and you have to show his confidence and debauchery. ”

After looking at the picture just shot, Han Li got up and said to the two leading actors of this scene.

Seeing that the two nodded thoughtfully, Han Li picked up the megaphone and shouted at all the staff at the scene: "Everyone pay attention, we only have one night for this scene." Tomorrow morning at six o'clock, the road must be restored.

Everyone should be serious and try to finish the shoot as soon as possible, so that we can go back and rest early, and we don't have to get cold on this mountain at night. ”

Although it is approaching June, the temperature at night in the mountains is still very low. Han Li felt a little cold when he wore a thick coat, not to mention some other people wearing single clothes.

After giving these orders, Han Li sat next to Tong Yongjun again. Tong Yongjun threw a cigarette to Han Li, lit one himself, and then picked up the megaphone and shouted at everyone.

"Come, fight for this is the last one. All departments ready, three, two, one, action! ”
