Chapter 556: The Attitude of Striving for Perfection (2-in-1)

[Unmodified Version]

After filming all the exterior scenes in the city, the crew immediately entered the studio to shoot the scenes.

The so-called in-studio shooting is actually shooting in the studio. Compared with the studios of ordinary photo studios, the studios used in film and television dramas are much larger.

In order to meet the filming of this drama this time, Han Li not only fully used their own two studios, but also rented several large studios in the film studio to meet the shooting.

The reason why so many studios are occupied is not because of how big a single scene is, but because there are more scenes to be filmed. Although the scene was composited using green screen (blue screen) digital effects technology for studio shooting, many studios were required to create the set.

The main reason is that the current digital special effects technology is not yet mature, so it is generally used to combine live action shooting and post-production special effects.

The so-called live-action shooting part is actually to build some close-ups in front of the green screen (blue screen), as well as some scenes and props that need to interact with the actors. The reason for this is also to present a more realistic effect in the lens.

For example, some medium and long-range shots that have little to do with the actors can be produced in post-production special effects.

Although this technology is used, it will reduce a lot of the workload of reality construction. But just the construction of close-ups is a very cumbersome task.

For example, some scenes that flash in film and television dramas, or only ten or so seconds, only take half an hour, or one or two hours to shoot. However, it takes two or three days, or even four or five days, to build the real scene.

And during this time, it is impossible to make the crew stop and wait for the scene to be built. Therefore, this requires multiple studios to be built in turn, so that the filming of the crew will not stop.

The grandest scene in this play may be the desert lonely city in the title of the play. However, the ruins of a city occupy a huge area, and even if Han Li and the others have more funds, they can't really build it. However, if digital CG technology is used, a digital model of the ruins of the ancient city can be built.

Although this digital model of the ruins of the ancient city is expensive to make, it is much cheaper than the real scene.

Of course, it is not enough to build such a digital model of the ruins of the ancient city, in some details, it is necessary to build a real-life model for shooting, so that the post-synthesis picture is more realistic.

In addition to this kind of green screen (blue screen) money shooting, the crew also had to go to some ancient city ruins in the Western Regions to shoot materials, and then interspersed with these shots to increase the sense of realism.

Of course, although the ruins of this digital ancient city are huge, they only exist for a minute or two in film and television dramas, which is a very small part compared to a thousand-minute episode.

And there are many scenes like this in the whole play. In particular, the scenes where the protagonists go deep into the underground adventure are more of a shot, and these scenes need to be built in the studio and in the computer. Not only is it costly, but also the amount of work is heavy, which is why film and television dramas are so costly and laborious.

Come, all departments prepare, the third scene of the two hundred and sixty-fourth mirrors, three, two, one, action!

Smack, the field sign falls.

I saw that in front of a huge green screen, the roles played by Dong Xuan, Tian Lu and Chen Yiming were slowly marching in front of the camera.

Be careful, stick to the wall, don't look down!

I'm scared!

Don't be afraid, there's no turning back now. Don't think, don't look, move on slowly.

How could there be such a deep crack in the ground of this ancient city?

This is because the area is under the Yadan landform, and the entire Yadan landform is actually a wind-encroached stone landform. In addition to being easily eroded by wind, the stones of this landform are also susceptible to erosion by water. Judging from our exploration in the past few days, there should be a river flowing through this ancient city. This underground crack should have been caused by the downward erosion of the river and the interaction with the surrounding dry environment. But judging from the cliff road we guessed under our feet, this crack must have existed for thousands of years.

Be careful, everyone!

Yes......

Ka, Tian Lu, pay attention to the expression. You're not a weak woman in the play, so you have to show that courage. There is also Dong Xuan, the male protagonist you play is an ordinary college student with little training, so you have to play the fear and timidity that he showed in the Jedi, as well as the feeling of deliberately pretending. Tong Yongjun stopped the shooting, and then shouted at the hero and heroine.

Got it, Director Dong! Tian Lu and Dong Xuan nodded, and then frowned and thought about it.

As for Han Li, he sat next to him wrinkling the media, carefully watching the picture just shot in the monitor. This kind of non-physical shooting is indeed a big test of the actors' acting skills, and these actors are generally not very old and not too experienced, so it seems to be more difficult.

Therefore, Tong Yongjun and Han Li are also willing to give them time to adapt and learn, and then shoot slowly. It is precisely because of this that the whole shooting progress is very slow.

You say, how about we add another photographer and look down from above. Han Li held his chin and said thoughtfully at Tong Yongjun.

Shoot from above? Tong Yongjun was a little puzzled.

Han Li nodded and said: "Yes, for the middle shot, shooting from above, in addition to further showing the narrowness and difficulty of this wall-hung road, it can also reflect the depth of the canyon below and increase its sense of danger in the lens." ”

But in this case, I'm afraid I will have to delay the filming progress again. Tong Yongjun hesitated.

Han Li waved his hand at this and said, "It's just an additional camera, it won't take long." It's almost time to eat, so let's let the actors eat and rest first. As for the drama and cameraman, let's work hard, it should be completed before the start of filming. ”

Okay, that's it!

Tong Yongjun nodded, and then beckoned everyone: "Everyone, stop for a moment, because there are some slight changes in the shooting, so we will start the meal in advance today." After eating, everyone took the time to rest for a while, we are going to shoot late today. ”

Ah, it's going to change again. Some actors couldn't help complaining.

It's just that this one shot can change to the side, I really don't know what the director and editor are doing. Several drama staff couldn't help but complain.

Seeing this, Han Li got up and clapped his hands, and then shouted at everyone: "Okay, everyone feels like hurry up and rest." In addition, the props team, the art team, the photography team, and the drama are here for me, and I have tasks to arrange. ”

In the past few days of filming, Han Li has basically stayed in the crew. Although he is relatively young, his unrivaled personality has established his prestige among everyone. So when they heard him speak, although everyone had some whispers in their hearts, they stopped complaining.

In fact, when Han Li first arrived at the crew, everyone was still unconvinced by him. The most important thing is to see his young age and think that he is so foolish.

As a result, Han Li didn't say a word, and directly connected several crew members who were lazy and lazy in the crew, and even replaced a heavyweight supporting role. So this time, everyone also saw Han Li's methods, but no one did tricks in front of him.

As for the heavyweight supporting role, he relied on himself to have played a lot of plays and had some connections in the circle, so he was a little dismissive of him as a young man. and often prides himself on being an old man and criticizes others. So Han Li didn't say a word, and swept him out of the house in front of everyone.

This supporting character was a little unbearable on his face, so he scolded when he left, saying that he wanted to give Han Li a good look. As a result, within a few days, someone in the circle called him to intercede.

In this regard, Han Li also gave this lover face, he could not care about it, but it was impossible to come back.

So after knowing Han Li's tough attitude, these people didn't dare to touch him again.

After hearing Han Li's call, the leaders of several groups and some members surrounded him.

Han Li didn't hesitate, and arranged it directly: "Master Zhou, your photography team is here again, with a top-down lens, a medium shot." Hurry up, we'll use it in the afternoon. ”

Set up another machine and look down at the camera. What to shoot, crack the abyss? Zhou Ye frowned and said.

Han Li nodded at him and said, "Almost, the main thing is to show the danger of this wall-hanging road." ”

Okay, I'll arrange for someone to get it right away. Although Zhou Ye didn't understand that Han Li and them were doing this, since they had a request, he still had to implement it, anyway, it was just a matter of setting up a machine, and it would take a little trouble.

The props team, the art team, and the drama department, your tasks are also very important. First of all, raise the scene by another meter, the scene in front of you is too short to reflect the thrill of this road.

Secondly, the props group and the art team, you imitate and place some gravel props on this road, so that the actors will fall after stepping on it.

Although these can be added in the later stage, they are not as real as the real scene, and the experience and feeling of feedback to the actors are not the same. Han Li said to the rest of the people.

The scene Han Li is talking about here is actually the wall-hanging path that the actors stepped on in front of him. That's right, this wall-hanging path was built by the art team. But it's just a scene, and the effect that is really presented in film and television dramas still needs to be seen by post-special effects synthesis.

Mr. Han, if you want to modify the scene during the lunch break, I'm afraid there is not enough time. The person in charge of the art group complained to Han Li with a sad face. These days, they have been tossed by Han Li and Tong Yongjun to the point of going crazy, basically thinking about one play at a time.

Especially Han Li, compared with director Tong Yongjun, Han Li's requirements for scenes and props are more detailed, so this greatly increases their workload.

You know, they are the only people, and they are also responsible for the construction and production of many scenes and props, and the time is very tight. Being so troubled by Han Li, they can rest for less than six hours a day.

So now these departments are the most afraid of Han Li calling their names.

Han Li waved his hand and said: "No need to modify, just raise some height, the bottom is supported by scaffolding or wooden frames, and then wrapped in green cloth, no need to arrange, just hand it over to post-production."

As for these gravels, you can do it, no matter how you get it, even if you get a piece and put it somewhere, as long as the effect is achieved. ”

Mr. Han, if the overall increase is one meter, then the height of the wall path from the ground will be more than two meters, do you want to arrange a tightrope for the actors. The head of the drama team asked at Han Li.

Han Li thought about it when he heard this, then shook his head and said, "No, just spread a few mats underneath." It's only two meters, what kind of wire is hanging. ”

Yes, we'll do it! Seeing Han Li waving his hand, everyone hurriedly left. Afraid of staying here for a while, Han Li changed his mind again.

Looking at the way everyone left in a hurry, Han Li shook his head, and then came to the corner of the studio where everyone rested.

Seeing Han Li coming, a drama manager quickly handed over the lunch box that had been prepared a long time ago to Han Li.

After thanking him, Han Li took the lunch, then sat down at the table next to Tong Yongjun and began to eat. The crew's box lunches are actually very particular, and they are generally divided into three categories, in fact, they are group performance meals, working meals and special meals.

The so-called group performance meal is actually an ordinary box lunch, according to the level at this time, basically ten yuan a serving, with vegetables and meat, very rich.

As for the working meal, it is prepared for the crew and staff, which is a little higher than the group performance meal, usually above 20.

Compared with group performance meals, not only the dishes are richer, but the quality is also much higher. In fact, it's no wonder, after all, the crew has to stick to their posts for a long time, so they must ensure that the meals are nutritious. As for the group performance, they basically stay in the crew for two or three days, so it doesn't matter if the meal is a little smaller.

The so-called special meals are actually prepared for the directors, editors, leading actors, and heads of various departments of the crew. If the group performance is a ten-dollar box lunch, then this special meal is generally more than fifty, or even higher.

Compared with group performance meals and working meals, the special meals for the directors and leading actors are naturally much better, at least not as big pot meals as the first two. This special meal is allowed to be ordered, and basically as long as it is within the standard, you can order whatever you want. Even if it's over, just make up for it later.

Although Han Li ate the so-called special meal, the rest of the crew didn't seem to be envious of what he ate. This is mainly because in order to maintain the relationship between body and fitness, Han Li has strict requirements on diet.

For example, his lunch today is a boiled broccoli, a fried veal steak, a white shrimp, and a fruit salad. Of course, the name is not bad, but in fact, these dishes are made with less salt and less oil according to his requirements, so many curious people are discouraged after tasting it once.

And when Han Li was having dinner with Tong Yongjun and them, in a lounge specially prepared for the leading actors, Tian Lu asked her assistant to help her deal with the wound on her leg while reluctantly crying with red eyes on the other side.
