Yan Dingxian raised his hand to hold the frame of his glasses and stared at the screen carefully for a while.

"Alas, this segment of the scene is the most difficult to solve,"

After speaking, he frowned and thought about it for a while, and then looked at Wang Xiang: "Lao Wang, why don't you find out all the parts we filmed before and pick them out for the comrades in the film studio." ”

"Okay," Wang Xiang nodded, and turned to prepare the rest of the recording.

Soon, the monitor was back on.

A group of more than ten seconds of clips, constantly switching between the screen.

Without exception, all of them are shots depicting explosions.

There was a puff of smoke coming up, there was a thick smoke spreading, and there were only a few explosions that could be seen......

Towards the end, there are two small scenes that look like special effects clips of animation.

Jiang Shan knew at a glance that the last two paragraphs should be professional technicians from the United States Film Studio, who painted directly on film.

Compared to the explosion scene that was shown on the monitor for the first time, these are undoubtedly more difficult to handle.

"No," a comrade from the film studio couldn't help but say after watching it: "None of them are realistic." ”

Another comrade also shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Our factory has also thought of a lot of ways to this plot, but we haven't figured out any good solutions." ”

"You're so right," Wang Xiang realized, "It's not easy." ”

Yan Dingxian said: "If you want to shoot the effect of a nuclear explosion, I don't think it's possible." ”

"If you really can't do it," Wang Xiang said what he had always wanted to say, "why don't you just replace it with a real nuclear explosion footage?" ”

Hearing this, Jiang Shan and Yan Ding looked at each other first, and they both felt that this was a good solution.

There's nothing more realistic than the real thing.

Back then, when filming the movie "Southern Expedition and Northern War", the director inserted some real shots on the battlefield.

Not only that, but in order to create a vast and magnificent atmosphere of war.

The crew, which Mr. Chen personally participated in, not only ruthlessly blew up the Mihe Dam, but also the enemy's tanks and the light and heavy firepower of our army in the movie...... It's all on the real guys.

So much so that during the filming, the chief director was shot twice in the calf.

"Real nuclear explosion footage?" The comrades of the film factory smiled wryly: "We have also put forward your idea before. ”

"The factory leaders didn't agree?"

"The conclusion they came to was that not only were the images not allowed in China, but even the nuclear explosion scenarios in the United States and the Soviet Union were not considered."

If you think about it, you can understand it, after all, they are all familiar pictures.

In a newly made movie, it's hard to think of a drama.

"Then it can't be helped." ”

"Well, how is that good?"

""Death Light on Coral Island" is the most hard-working movie of our factory this year, and it is not easy to go all the way."

"But it's not, I didn't expect to be stuck in this last set of shots."

After a sigh, the atmosphere in the studio was not very good.

"Don't be too anxious,"

has been producing art films for many years, and Yan Dingxian has encountered no fewer problems than film studios.

At this time, he would smile and ask everyone to sit down first and rest for a while: "We have a lot of strength, and we will always come up with a solution." ”

"Director Yan Ling, do you know, how many pounds did we lose for the filming of this movie?"

"It's all the same, it's all the same."

"Death Light on Coral Island" is the first science fiction film shot by Pujiang Film Studio.

In the handling of the sci-fi plot, the inexperienced crew can be said to have worked hard.

"However, it's interesting to think about it now, what laser guns, video calls, palm print recognition, robots, and dual-purpose airships in the script, we have made it decently."

"I don't know how the author of this book came up with so many high-tech gadgets?"

In fact, most of the wonderful ones come from real life.

The author of "Lushan Love" was able to describe Lushan in that era because he was a native of Lushan.

The spy war story in "The Guns of the Secret Bureau" is touching because of the original author's personal experience as an underground party worker.

And Tong Enzheng, the author of "The Death of Coral Island", is the same.

The prototype of the protagonist described in is his uncle-in-law Ouyang Zao.

This gentleman's experience is amazing, and he graduated from Jinling University during the Republic of China.

Due to his outstanding grades, he was sent by the Kuomintang government to study radar technology in 1945.

Later, he was elected as the president of the rice branch of the National Society of Engineers, and also established the "Ouyang Zao Scholarship" at what is now Nanjing University.

It is precisely because of his uncle's scientific research experience that the author was able to add crystal physics, high-efficiency atomic batteries, laser weapons, and holographic televisions to his own...... These are high-tech terms that exist like dreams in the present world.

However, these terms are enjoyable to read, and it is another thing to want to bring them to the big screen.

"If you want me to say, the author's idea is too whimsical."

In the studio at this meeting, everyone looked distressed, and they didn't know whether they were praising or complaining about the original author.

Wang Xiang looked at Jiang Shan: "Xiao Jiang, you are the editor of the newspaper, do you have any thoughts on these science fiction?" ”

"Thoughts...... Jiang Shan certainly has an idea: "I always wonder if the world in the future can really have these things." ”

"Hahaha, I don't dare to say anything else, video calls are impossible anyway."

"That's it," Jiang Shan said with a smile: "Don't talk about video calls, now I can install an ordinary phone at home, and I am satisfied." ”

"Not really!"

As Director Yan thought, after two or three sentences, the atmosphere in the studio was really much more relaxed.

However, after a while, the topic came around again.

"Alas, I don't know what to do with this nuclear explosion footage, and what else can be burned?"

The eyes of the big guys wandered back and forth in the studio, pondering what else to burn.

Seeing it, Jiangshan's heart began to hair.

Wang Xiang said regretfully: "Anyway, we have thought about everything we can think of, what is explosive, what is burning, including chemical reagents, and everything that can be burned has been photographed for it." ”

After a moment of silence.

"Actually," Jiang Shan said slowly in the face of the freeze-frame picture that could be seen through at a glance on the monitor:

"This kind of picture of a nuclear explosion doesn't necessarily have to be a detonation?"

"Not exploding?" The comrade opposite shook his head and smiled: "If it doesn't explode, can it still be called a nuclear explosion?" ”

Most of the time, studio professionals are reluctant to start a technical conversation with outsiders.

After all, there is a big difference between inside and outside the industry.

But the words of the little comrade in front of him were too ...... I can't even talk about the most basic common sense.

"Explosion explosion," Yan Ding patted Jiang Shan's shoulder first: "It must be blown up to achieve the effect." ”

"You see," Jiang Shan pointed to the monitor and smiled, "Why are there so many explosion scenes that can't meet the needs of the film?" ”

The comrades in the film studio were all lazy to talk, although they did not agree with the words of this little comrade.

But because they have to take into account the relationship between the American studio, they can't say too much criticism.

"Xiao Jiang," Yan Dingxian explained with a smile: "What is needed in the film is not an ordinary explosion plot, but a nuclear explosion, and the characteristics of nuclear explosions, you also know it, right?" ”

Jiang Shan nodded: "Mushroom cloud." ”

"That's right, our set of shots has to be a mushroom cloud on the sea."

Jiang Shan: "The reason why these clips don't meet the standards is that they didn't blow up the mushroom cloud!" ”

"That's exactly why."

Jiang Shan smiled: "How do you think you can blow up a mushroom cloud?" ”

"This ......"

“……？ If we knew, we wouldn't have done it sooner. ”

"Even if you knew, you wouldn't dare to blow it up," Yan Dingxian said jokingly.

In the next second, Jiang Shan stopped talking.

He walked over and picked up a tube of earthy yellow paint on the table next to him, and squeezed some of the water glasses in his hand.

After stirring well, he walked towards a glass fish tank in the house.

"What do you want to do," Wang Xiang said nervously, this is the treasure he kept in the workshop.

I'm usually tired and sleepy, so I walk over and tease.

The mood will be relaxed immediately.

"Grieve them for a while," Jiang Shan finished speaking, scooping up two small goldfish with a pocket net and putting them in the water cup on the side.

"Everyone, look,"

As soon as the words fell, Jiang Shan poured the paint water in his hand into the glass fish tank.

There was a bang.

A stream of earthy yellow water was thrown into the transparent tank.

The liquid, which is thick and gradually disperses, blooms like a cloud of smoke in the clear water.

Slowly, the earthy yellow liquid that bloomed was like an inverted mushroom cloud.

"If you look at this picture upside down," Jiang Shan asked, pointing to the paint water that had not completely dispersed, "like what?" ”

The eyes of everyone present were wide open.

"This ......? Isn't this just a mushroom cloud? "The comrades in the film studio, almost put their eyes on the glass jar.

"It's a mushroom cloud."

"You really don't have to blow it up."

"It's a lot more like we blew up."

"It's so good, it's easy and clean." Thinking of the effort that had been spent before, the comrades of the film factory couldn't help but say:

"I don't see it, your little comrade's method really works."

"Hehe," Yan Dingxian looked at the fish tank and said happily: "Xiao Jiang, Xiao Jiang, fortunately you came over today." ”

"Actually, it's nothing," Jiang Shan smiled.

Compared with the wonderful food advertisements he shot in his previous life, the mushroom cloud in front of him is really not a problem:

"You know that I like to paint, and I'm all too familiar with the wonderful images of these paints."

"Huh," the more modest Jiangshan is, the more Yan Dingxian likes it: "Smart is smart, who doesn't paint with Lao Wang and I don't paint on weekdays, why didn't I think of this one." ”

"That's it," Wang Xiang, who was holding a glass of water, felt more and more like: "Simply, let's take a picture to see the effect." ”

"yes, take a shot and try it."

The comrades of the film factory smiled at Jiang Shan at this meeting: "Young man, if you can succeed, you can be regarded as a great favor for our crew." ”

After several times of hard work by all the staff.

In the end, they not only succeeded in mixing the nearest similar pigments, but also added a little fine soil to the water to achieve a stronger sense of heaviness.

When the thick pigment slowly blooms and sinks in the water.

In the studio's monitor, a slowly rising and tumbling mushroom cloud finally appeared.

"Pretty."

"It's beautiful."

"It's the most beautiful mushroom I've ever seen."

Looking at the successfully recorded picture on the monitor, Jiang Shan couldn't help but laugh out a row of little white teeth.

How good, I didn't expect that in the movies of this life, I could still leave images of my participation.

Bookstore patrons in "Look at This Family" make cameos, and mushroom clouds in "Dying Light on Coral Island".

Looking at the three comrades in the film studio, they were obviously much more excited than him, and they all rushed over to shake hands with Jiang Shan to express their gratitude.

"Comrade Xiao Jiang, don't you know, the sci-fi shots in this movie are more expensive than the other."

"It's harder to work harder than the other."

"I didn't expect that the most difficult set of shots could be solved so easily in you."

"Do you know what it's called?" After listening to the praise of the comrades of the film factory, Director Wang, who was teasing the little goldfish on the side, concluded:

"Allocate thousands of pounds in four or two, save money and do big things."

Hey, Jiang Shan was embarrassed to praise him: "Director Wang, are you okay with that fish?" ”

"Fortunately, it's okay," Director Wang Ke kept thinking: "Look, how good the swim is, Lao Yan didn't raise me before, so I'm making a meritorious service." ”

"If you don't mention meritorious service, I'll forget about business."

It wasn't until this meeting that Yan Dingxian remembered the reason for calling Jiangshan.

In the conference room of the American Film Studio.

When the smiling Jiangshan, in the face of the factory leaders raised the certificates in their hands, they did not forget to stand up and turn back and forth to show their glory in the applause of everyone.

"Comrade Xiao Jiang, thank you for the trick you gave our factory,"

When sending Jiangshan out of the factory gate, Yan Ding first handed over a stack of books tied with red thick ribbon to him: "Now, these books in your hand have been reprinted three times." ”

"You're talking to the publisher about royalty sharing, right?"

"Of course, I can still forget what you reminded me repeatedly."

"That's good, the royalty sharing is much stronger than the print run of the publishing house."

"That's right." Yan Dingxian nodded heavily and said: "In order to thank you for your advice, the factory has decided to issue an award certificate to you." ”

"Hehe," Jiang Shan shook the certificate in his hand: "Thank you, Director Yan." ”

"Don't underestimate this certificate," Yan Dingxian specially reminded: "In the future, with this certificate, you can get an official establishment of our factory at any time." ”

"It's really fake," Jiang Shan paused, and quickly looked down at the award certificate in his hand.

"What I say, it must count,"

Director Yan is now the deputy director of the American Film Studio: "Didn't you see what was written on it?" Special Contribution Award! ”

"I saw it, but ......" Jiang Shan only figured out at this time: "This special contribution award represents the establishment of the American film studio?" ”

"Yes," Yan Dingxian nodded: "As long as you want, you can come to work in the factory tomorrow." ”

"That'...... What if it's someone I recommend. ”

"In that case," Yan Ding thought about it for a while: "I think, if I can get your recommendation, there must be something outstanding!" ”
