Chapter 595: The Hardship Behind the Classic Shot
The middle-aged man was actually the pilot of the two helicopter crews. is also the person in charge of this flight mission, named Zhang Licheng, who is in his forties this year. Previously, he served in an army aviation regiment, and the deputy regiment was transferred to the local area and became a helicopter pilot for this general aviation company.
In fact, the development of domestic helicopters or the domestic civil aviation industry, especially helicopters, is relatively slow. The main reason for this is domestic policy restrictions, so that our low-altitude airspace has not been opened.
Until the post-512 disaster relief process in 08, there was a shortage of air transport forces, especially helicopters that could take off and land and hover without the reality of the terrain, making this aspect heavily dependent on the military. It not only affects the intensity and time of rescue, but also affects the security of national defense readiness.
Therefore, after that, the state also began to pay attention to the construction of civil aviation forces, resulting in the emergence of a large number of new airlines.
And this time, the two helicopters rented by Han Li and them were from a private airline in Sichuan and Shu. The reason why I chose this airline is mainly because of the company's helicopter models.
One is a Bell 407 from Bell Corporation, while the other is a domestic Zhijiu civilian model.
Among them, the Bell 407 is a light helicopter, and its main purpose this time is to chase the protagonist's convoy as a helicopter driven by the villain in the play. The reason for choosing this model is mainly that it is a foreign aircraft model, and the number sold is large, so it is more reasonable to use it. Another very important reason is that the shape of this aircraft is good, and the repainting for this filming makes it look very handsome.
As for the other Zhijiu, this is the civilian model of the Zhijiu aircraft, and it is also an optimized model to open the door to the civil aviation market.
This helicopter is considered a medium-sized helicopter, so it can carry more people and weight than a light helicopter. So this time, Han Li will use this plane as their aerial photography helicopter, and will carry photographers to carry aerial photography work in the air.
After Zhang Licheng heard Han Li's question and everyone's eyes, he thought for a while and then said: "Actually, there is no problem with flying, our two flight crews are old pilots, and there is no technical problem.
Although the terrain here is more complicated and there is a crosswind, it is not a problem to fly a few more times to familiarize yourself.
For us, the real problem, or the real difficulty, is the ultra-low-altitude flight, and the coordination between the helicopter and the convoy. ”
Speaking of this, Zhang Licheng glanced at everyone, then grabbed a handful of sand and said: "Although this is not a real desert, the desertification is still very serious. The sand grains are relatively fine, and there will definitely be a burst of sand and dust behind the convoy as it travels. This is like a shadow for the vehicles following behind, and it is easy to cause accidents.
And this is also what our helicopters are worried about, on the one hand, they are worried that the dust raised by the vehicle will block the pilot's vision, resulting in a major accident.
On the other hand, there is a fear that the sand and dust will enter the helicopter and cause internal failures.
Of course, this can also happen when flying at ultra-low altitudes, where helicopter propellers can roll up a lot of sand and dust.
So this potential risk makes us have to be cautious about this shooting mission. ”
Speaking of this, Zhang Licheng glanced at Han Li, and then said: "Actually, for us, there is still a hidden danger.
When flying, the airspace must be clean, and there must be no danger in the surrounding airspace, which is why there is a no-fly zone and no-fly control around the airport.
This time, our two helicopters and three drones were flying in the same airspace, which was a test for both the pilot and the drone operator.
The drone is damaged or has an accident, or a crosswind, or even the pilot's mistake will affect the safety of the helicopter, so we are also more worried about this. ”
After listening to Zhang Licheng's words, everyone couldn't help but nodded. Although everyone doesn't know how to fly, everyone can also hear the problems that Zhang Licheng said.
But from this general question, everyone couldn't help but have a headache. On the one hand, I was worried about how this scene should be filmed. During this period, there has never been such a scene in this matter in China, so I have no experience in filming.
Even Tong Yongjun, who has been in Hollywood, is only familiar with and knows about this aspect. Because in Hollywood, film and television shooting is actually taking the industrial route, and the industry is very finely divided. Aerobatics and aerobatics are taken care of by a dedicated flight team and photographers.
But in China, there is no such type of work at all, and everything needs to be explored by themselves.
Of course, the crew also thought about hiring a special Hollywood team to be responsible for this aspect of filming. But when I asked, the price was hundreds of thousands of dollars, and the crew really didn't have this budget.
In fact, it hasn't cost much money since filming, so the crew still has money. But you can't spend money indiscriminately, especially if this money is used for a large number of post-production special effects, this money can't be saved, so you can't spend it indiscriminately.
So the funding is still very limited, and they still have to explore and shoot this scene by themselves.
"Is it possible to take this scene apart and shoot it, and then compose it in post-production." Han Li looked at the pensive crowd and came up with such an idea.
Since they can't shoot together, they shoot separately, and finally synthesize together, so that doesn't eliminate the risks and hidden dangers that Zhang Licheng will do before.
Hearing Han Li's words, the person in charge of the special effects team who followed him this time hurriedly shook his head and said: "Post-production synthesis also requires conditions, if it is filmed separately, then some arrangements need to be made during shooting." For example, lay a green screen or blue screen in some special places, etc., to facilitate the synthesis of the picture in the later stage. Also, this shoot ......"
Before the man could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Han Li: "I didn't mean that, I meant to shoot the shots separately, such as the shots of the speeding car escape, the shots of the helicopter chase, and the close-ups of the characters."
These shots are both closely connected and separate, so I felt that they could be shot separately. In this way, although the workload will increase, the difficulty and risk will be much reduced. ”
"I think it's feasible, the film or television drama itself is the result of countless shots, and we just split these shots to shoot this time. Besides, in the eighties and nineties, our conditions and funds were limited, and a crew only had one or two cameras. But that's how we shoot in this way, and we haven't shot a lot of classics. Niu Dao opened his mouth and affirmed.
