Chapter 308: Special Effects Shooting, Python Battle (Addendum: 4/25)

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Liang Guoguang said: "Calling everyone here today is not just to set tomorrow's announcement.

At the same time, it is also necessary to roughly say the content of the scenes in the next few days, and everyone must be prepared.

Now, the first stage of our shooting is in the four places of Bangyan Mansion, Yanjia Garden, Hongyin Mountain House and Ancient Song Garden.

A lot of scenes are concentrated here, and when the filming is over, let's go to Qiyuan to take some of the scenes.

Next, I will go to Shuihu City and Pingdingshan to shoot exterior scenes.

……”

Until the evening, Liang Guoguang went through the next shooting plot, so that everyone had a number in their hearts.

At the same time, we also asked for everyone's opinions so that we could shoot better.

"Okay, if you don't have any opinions, let's go back and prepare after dinner.

Tomorrow we will officially start shooting desperately. ”

When everyone dispersed, he called Chen Shuo again: "Chen Shuo, wait a minute." ”

Yu Bo, Yang Junyi, and Zhang Jin met, said that they were waiting for him in the restaurant, and left first.

Liang Guoguang said: "Recently, you have been busy promoting the album, and you did not participate when everyone was reading the script.

Fortunately, most of the plot has been understood, and Yu Bo has been right countless times, so there is nothing wrong with this part.

However, you and Yin Zhong have a lot of scenes, and then you have time to take the initiative to play against Xu Shaoqiang, as well as Cai Shaofen and Cheng Farong.

Save time when shooting. ”

"Got the director." Chen Shuo nodded.

Liang Guoguang didn't say more, he could be regarded as witnessing Chen Shuo grow up step by step.

Although it is difficult to play the role of childlike innocence, it is not difficult to pass the role, and it is no problem for Chen Shuo.

It just depends on how far he can act.

However, he was still a little worried about the special effects fight, and asked, "I'm going to shoot the scene where you fight with the blood python tomorrow night, no problem, right?"

If you have any doubts now, you should say it as soon as possible to save time when you can shoot and shoot. ”

"How's the special effects team doing?" Chen Shuo asked.

In a special effects fight scene like this, the actor's acting ability is actually not very important.

It mainly depends on whether the special effects team can make a realistic model.

How flexible is the design model's movements, and whether it can be matched with his movements.

Li Dachao said: "Don't worry about this, tomorrow the special effects team will follow to the scene to carry out real-time production and adjust the difference between the expected and actual shooting." ”

Chen Shuo asked again: "Can they do the action requirements I mentioned before?" ”

Liang Guoguang nodded and said, "It's also according to what you designed before, and let the special effects team do it."

So be it, wait until tomorrow when they come, in the afternoon. You look at the effect.

Then, Dachao and you will discuss it with the special effects team, and then go through the fighting action again. ”

Liang Guoguang is still very confident in the special effects team invited by Zhou Yi, and these are all old friends who worked together during the filming of "Xiao Shiyi Lang" and "Young King".

At the beginning, the secret technique of Xiaoyao Hou and Lian Chengbi in "Xiao Shiyi Lang", which can turn into something like black and red leeches.

There are also strange insects and magma in the ancient tomb in "The Young King", and special effects such as the final ensemble of "Crystal Love", all of which are made by this company called Xianpu Digital Art.

Not only have they cooperated several times, they are familiar with each other's production style, and their level has also been recognized by Zhou Yi Film and Television.

"That's no problem, if they can make the blood python's action special effects according to my request, then it will definitely look good." Chen Shuo nodded and said confidently.

When they were in the imperial capital before, Chen Shuo, Li Dachao and others had countless discussions with the people of the special effects team on how to show the battle between the blood python and the human.

A blood python more than ten meters long naturally cannot be found in real objects for shooting, so it can only use computer special effects.

Besides, even if they find it, who would dare to really play with such a behemoth?

With special effects, when shooting, if you want to show a smooth fight, you need the actor to have a strong sense of conviction.

It is possible to imagine a giant python out of thin air in front of a clearing, or some substitute, and then interact with it.

If it's someone else, even if you have a strong sense of conviction, you don't have any experience fighting this kind of monster.

But Chen Shuo was different, when he gained the heart of a bard, he had fought countless monsters in his dreams.

Although he has gradually forgotten the original dream now, some feelings still remain in his heart.

As a medium-sized human being, he knew more than the average human being how to fight such a large, or even super-large creature.

"Okay, we'll wait and see tomorrow." Seeing more of his confident attitude, Liang Guoguang and Li Dachao no longer doubt it, just waiting for the official start of filming tomorrow.

Chen Shuo went to the restaurant and finished dinner with Yang Junyi and others, returned to the room to look at the time, and called Liu Yifei.

The bell rang normally, and I thought it was getting off the plane.

"Hey!" After a while, it was connected, and Liu Yifei's slightly tired voice came from inside.

"Are you tired?" Chen Shuo asked with concern.

"I've gotten off the plane and I'm on the car back to the imperial capital, I didn't feel like I was busy before, I felt a little tired after taking a plane."

"Then when you get home, rest for two days before you go to training, and you have no time to rest for ten days of running here and there."

"Good ......"

“……”

The next day, the crew got up early in the morning and was busy working.

There are a lot of scenes rehearsed today, and the crew suddenly entered a state of full combat readiness.

Fortunately, for this drama, the company has prepared for half a year. All aspects were taken into account, and the shooting was very smooth.

In the afternoon, in order to let Chen Shuo prepare for the night scene with peace of mind, he did not prepare his role.

After lunch, Li Dachao took him to meet the special effects team that came.

After the two sides introduced it, they began to get to the point.

Shao Kai, the leader of the special effects team, turned on the computer and started playing. The movement of a giant python.

"According to your requirements, we have designed a ten-zhang long blood python model, and these are its basic movements. ”

Chen Shuo looked at the giant python on the computer, and demonstrated the basic actions such as crawling and winding, as well as the attack actions such as biting and charging, and nodded involuntarily.

Although the model made by computer special effects is far from the real thing, and there is still a sense of vanity.

When he was in school, he saw a "King Kong" released in 76, in which in addition to the gorilla King Kong, there was also a giant python.

At that time, the physical special effects made by others were better than the current computer special effects.

But he also knew that he couldn't force more.

is not only a problem with the technology of both sides, but also a problem that Zhou Yi Film and Television's funds are not enough to support.

According to the existing movements, they should be able to form a simple python battle template.

According to the action in his heart, Chen Shuo asked the special effects team to control the blood python to try, nodded and said: "This kind of action is fine, let's test it with the real thing first and find the frequency of fighting."

When will the blood python make a move, and how should I react, first roughly debug it, and then make detailed adjustments when the actual shooting at night is made. ”

"Okay."

The group itself was at the shooting site at night, in a pavilion in the Bangyan Mansion.

Li Dachao found a few martial artists and held a long blue strip filled with a sponge, which served as the physical object of the blood python to increase the sense of blow when shooting.

There is also a small life-size blood python of equal proportions, but only three meters long, which is used as an imaginary model for everyone.

"When shooting, we'll have people hold this to add to your realism."

Chen Shuo looked at it and said, "Yes, python monsters like to rampage with powerful concrete when they are fighting.

So you don't need to be too complicated when fighting.

That is, I charged twice, and then while dodging its attack, I hit it a few times from the beginning, and the last kick was seven inches from it, and one kick made it prostrate on the ground. ”

As he spoke, he also made a set of combo moves.

"Okay, now that you have it in mind, let's give it a try."

Wait for Li Dachao and the special effects team to compose a picture of the scene and arrange the position.

Chen Shuo and a few martial artists lined up the movements together and let the camera take pictures.

The special effects team imported the blood python into the filmed picture, compared it, found out the disharmony, and asked several people to continue to try.

When it was time for dinner, the two sides had already cooperated very tacitly.

The effect is already very realistic.

The content of tonight's scene is that at the succession ceremony of the Imperial Sword Villa, Zhao Yun snatched the owner's token Blood Ruyi.

Yin Zhong sent the blood python to chase blood Ruyi back, just as the blood python bit off Zhao Yun's hand and snatched blood Ruyi.

Tong Xin heard the voice of the blood python and rushed over, beat the blood python, and saved Zhao Yun.

Then connected to the plot of Yin Hao, the owner of the Royal Sword Mountain Villa, and Yin Zhong, the second master, who led the iron guards to chase after them.

Not to mention the back, today's main shooting is the part of the childlike war blood python.

In the evening, Jiang Xuerou, Liang Guoguang and others came over to watch Li Dachao direct the special effects scene.

This is the first special effects scene, if the shooting goes well, the same scene will be filmed in the future, and everyone can have a successful experience.

If the shooting is not good, then you have to think carefully about how to modify the next scenes later.

The scene where the blood python chases Zhao Yun in front of him is not filmed, so let Chen Shuo finish filming the battle against the blood python first.

After everything was ready, Chen Shuo changed into his costume and stood in the center of the venue with a few martial artists dressed in blue clothes and carrying a long strip of blue cloth.

"Come, all departments prepare, Action!"

With Li Dachao's order, several martial artists rushed towards Chen Shuo with long strips.

Seeing this, Chen Shuo immediately put on a tiger play posture, and while dodging, one hand slapped at the position of the snake's head like a tiger's claw like lightning.

Then as soon as the body turned, the tiger's claws beaked, turned around and pecked at the snake a few times.

Several martial artists danced vigorously with long blue bars to show the pain of the blood python after being attacked.

Adjusting their bodies, several people rushed over again with long strips.

Chen Shuo stopped dodging this time, and slapped another paw on the top of the blood python's head.

Without waiting for it to hit the ground, fly up and kick it away.

According to the script, this kick kicked out the blood in its stomach.

Then he jerked in front of the blood python and kicked it seven inches in the air with a somersault.

The blood python couldn't help the pain, and rushed down suddenly, and was kicked to the ground again by Chen Shuo, who had just landed on the ground, and couldn't stop twitching.

"Okay, click!"

After the shooting, although everyone gathered around the computer of the special effects team, ready to watch the final effect.

Shao Kai personally poured the adjusted blood python action model into the video.

Regardless of the goofs and the problem of not being fused well, just start playing.

Looking at Chen Shuo's movements, little by little he fit with the action model of the blood python.

"Smack!!

He slapped his palms and exclaimed happily, "It's a success!" It's a good fit! ”

"Yay!!" Jiang Xuerou, Chen Shuo and others also shouted happily.

Although the picture still shows a martial artist wearing a blue cloth and dancing a long strip of blue cloth.

The model of the blood python also did not fit neatly into the picture.

But it can already be seen that the interaction between Chen Shuo and the blood python is very successful, and the actions presented are very realistic.

And Chen Shuo's movements are also well designed, mainly tiger play and crane play, which happen to restrain snakes.

Needless to say, the crane's sharp and slender beak and two powerful long legs are simply the nemesis of snakes.

Although felines are not natural enemies of snakes, cats are very quick to react.

Even the fastest snakes are not as fast as cats.

In particular, some feral cats with strong combat effectiveness are able to interrupt the attack of snakes at a distance of less than ten centimeters.

When Chen Shuo faced the attack of the blood python, he first slapped its head with the tiger's claws, which was to imitate the action of the little tiger when he teased the snake.

After that, he turned around and attacked with a crane hand, which also referred to the martial arts principle of the crane shape and the snake shape.

It can be said that in this scene, not only the special effects are well done, but the fighting actions are also exquisite.

With this shooting experience, it will be much easier to shoot the special effects shot of the blood python in the future.

Taking advantage of this momentum, the crew took several special effects shots with blood pythons and handed them over to the special effects team to add special effects.

With the filming of each scene, the crew slowly got on the right track.

For the shaping of the role of childlike innocence, Chen Shuo has his own thoughts.

He didn't want to cast him as a fool, but as a child.

For this reason, she has observed children for a long time, and then imitated their thinking and habits to think about the role of childlike play.

He found that children don't laugh out loud with a "hehe", they mostly have an innocent smile on their faces, and their eyes are full of curiosity about everything.

Only when you are really happy will you let out a cheerful laugh.

The mind is as clear as a child, simple and childish and curious, it should be very serious about everything, and there is always a curious light in his eyes.

Therefore, when shooting, he will always have a sincere smile on his face, and his eyes are always full of curiosity.

It seems that everything is new, and for what he doesn't want to do, he directly and neatly refuses.

Like a child who has never been in the world, it is the best performance for the role of childlike innocence.
