"This action doesn't work, it still has to be changed."

In front of the computer, Lu Ping'an gave his opinion to the action director Kou Zhanwen.

"How?"

Kou Zhanwen held the pen in his hand, ready to record at any time.

"It's too smart, it's a little bulky."

Lu Ping'an began to explain, "These two are big guys tens of meters or even hundreds of meters high, one is a creature, the other is a mecha, if they are so flexible to fight like a human, there will be no sense of oppression." ”

"Isn't flexibility more oppressive? The two big guys are falling apart, and human beings look incomparably small, so it can make the audience feel powerless, right? ”

Another martial arts instructor on the side said curiously.

Interjecting questions like this may attract white eyes or small shoes in the next second in other crews.

But don't worry about it here.

Lu Ping'an likes everyone to express their opinions, so his crew, unity and harmony are like air, everywhere.

For example, now, Lu Ping'an patiently explained: "Your idea is right, from God's point of view, it is true, it's like the two of us fighting, compared with the ants on the side, it's simply desperate for the ants, but let's also consider the sense of priority." ”

"What is the sense of priority substitution in the movie, is the first glance at the past, you don't have to think about it, you think what this thing is, think about what it is like if you are an ant, what do you look like when you see two humans fighting? At that time, the so-called flexibility of human beings was still flexible in the eyes of ants?"

Lu Ping'an patiently explained.

What he used is actually the difference between "Pacific Rim 2" and the first part.

One of the problems why "Pacific Rim 2" is not good is that the movie lacks the sense of oppression that people can feel at a glance.

The reason is that the mechs are too flexible, and the viewing angle is too high.

Two behemoths are really made into two people who are no different from humans.

Then add some small human shots to set off, but at this time, the sense of priority substitution is gone.

In this regard, in fact, 2014's "Godzilla 1" did an excellent job.

The whole picture of "Godzilla 1" is a black ground, and there are few shots of Godzilla and several giant beasts.

But the whole film starts from the perspective of a human being, seeing a part of Godzilla, and then feeling the extremely destructive power brought by this behemoth that can't see the whole picture at a glance.

Then, as a fan's perspective, I was first shocked by the visual effects, my heart tightened, and then I was amazed after realizing it, if there was such a thing in the real world.

And then let's take a big picture, and compare it with the insignificance of human beings.

In this way, the sense of oppression is perfectly displayed.

"So first of all, the angle of view should be lowered, and the fight should be seen from below the knee, and then it is a robot, with dozens and hundreds of engines all over the body, and the mechanical sense must be expressed, and the action should not be too flexible, but inflexibility does not mean that there is no strength, and the power must be displayed, such as a simple punch, hitting the person may only be a slight beating, raising a little dust, but in the eyes of the ants, you have to make a general feeling that the sky is falling, the special effects team must pay attention to this aspect, can you understand this meaning?"

After Kou Zhanwen heard this, he quickly began to draw inferences: "I understand, I still don't pay special attention to the tonnage of these two, you see if this will work."

Then he took his team and started the drill.

Then after a few adjustments, the person who played the mecha and the person who played the monster fought together again.

The action looked much clumsier than it had been at first, but the effect of the blow was magnified.

The rest of the special effects team and the rest of the team watched the two fight on their stomachs, imagining themselves to be ants

Then soon, everyone deeply understood the effect of Lu Ping'an.

"In terms of sound effects, you should also pay attention to what it will feel like for the ants on the ground if we take a few random steps, you have to think about it."

Lu Ping'an continued to mention.

Everyone nodded, and then continued to record.

A few hours later, Lu Ping'an continued to shoot, and the action effect was much better.

As a result, the solutions of various departments such as special effects, sound effects, and service channels have been optimized again.

And then very quickly, a lot of brilliant ideas came up from various departments.

For example, the special effects department gave a shot that was not in the original film, the mecha punched down the scales of the strange beast, and the long shot looked at the small one, which was inconspicuous on the strange beast, but in the next shot, the scales fell from the sky, and as the perspective zoomed in, it became very huge, directly smashing the car on the ground, scaring passers-by who were eating melons on the side.

Obviously, everyone has a better understanding of what this movie wants.

Lu Ping'an expressed his satisfaction, although there is a comparison of the original film, it can be copied.

But since you choose not to take shortcuts and instead work with a team, it's important to inspire your team's creativity.

"This shot is okay!"

Lu Ping'an looked at the storyboard creativity brought up by the special effects team and praised it, then turned to the prop producer and asked, "What do you think?" ”

The producer in charge of the props on the side nodded: "It's not difficult." ”

"Okay, let's take this shot."

Lu Ping'an made the decision directly, and the team exerted their creativity to support it, and then pointed to the corner of the melon-eating passerby on the storyboard and said to the project front-end producer Lao Wang on the side, "This passer-by will operate it for five seconds at most." ”

In this kind of super blockbuster, just this one shot of up to five seconds can operate various categories such as actor casting and advertising placement.

If the operation is good, it can be exchanged for a lot of benefits.

Commercial movies are just "making money".

It's just that what Xingchen has to do is how to do it without destroying the quality of the movie.

This kind of thing in "Transformers" must not appear.

"By the way, if you don't have car sponsorship, you can use Japanese and Korean brands, or Mercedes-Benz."

"Mercedes-Benz is not a small cost."

"That's your problem, didn't find the scrap shop repair shop or something?"

"Understood, I'll go."

Lao Wang took the order and left, and Lu Ping'an continued to shoot.

At present, the filming of "Pacific Rim" is still in the action stage.

One is motion capture of mechs and monsters fighting.

The other is a rehearsal of the action for future stars.

It is expected to be adjusted within a week.

Then when Lu Ping'an finds all the people, he can let them start the action directly, and there is no need to make temporary choreography.

In the afternoon, Lu Ping'an and Kou Zhanwen came to the company's training room.

At this time, Liu Qianqian had just finished a day's training.

"Brother Ping'an!"

I'm 19 years old, and I still have a small milk voice.

"How's it going, are you more skilled today?"

Lu Ping'an asked with a smile.

Lu Ping'an has high requirements for Liu Qianqian's action scenes.

In the script, she is a little sheep who is harmless to humans and animals on the surface, but in fact she is a quasi-mecha pilot with a very high force value.
