Chapter 449. Mecha [Ask for subscription]
In Studio 1.
Everyone stood outside a security cordon, except for Sun Yi, who looked at everything in front of them in a daze.
Inside the cordon, with its back against the wall, is a huge device that resembles a rocket launch platform, surrounded by a green screen.
The scaffolding on both sides was hung with cameras, lamps, and something like a water pipe.
In the middle is a platform more than one meter high, which looks like an ordinary steel stage, but under the stage stand twelve hydraulic support rods with thick bowl mouths, and the whole device looks like an inverted trapezoid.
That's nothing, the key is on the platform.
A semi-open "cabin" that is more than 4 meters tall and resembles a motorcycle helmet is open to everyone, with an unobstructed view of the space in the cabin, surrounded by dense LED indicators, and a variety of futuristic sci-fi devices on both sides.
In the center of the helmet's cabin are two exoskeleton-like brackets mounted upside down from above, half-suspended and suspended by thick support arms, with foot pedals underneath, and two thick hydraulic arms attached to each foot, like an enlarged version of an elliptical machine.
Several men in hard hats and fluorescent vests were inspecting the device with instruments.
Is this the cockpit!!?
Not only Zhou Xiaojun at the back of the crowd, but others were also shocked by the device in front of them.
Liu Yifei stared intently at the huge helmet in front of her, pulled the corner of Sun Yi's clothes, pointed to the front blankly, and muttered in her mouth, "Brother, what is this?" ”
The corners of Sun Yi's mouth grinned, and he replied with a smile: "Big toy." ”
Liu Yifei glanced at him, and the shocked expression on his face seemed to say.
Toy? Got such a big toy? Are you really stupid?
Sun Yi smiled and shrugged.
He was really satisfied now, unlike the others, he had a good idea of the overall effect of the cockpit, and the device in front of him was basically exactly what he expected.
Now it's up to us to see how it works.
At this time, a man wearing a hard hat ran over in front of the platform.
"Xiaoyi, Han Dong, brother and sister, here."
"Brother Fan."
It's Yang Fan who I haven't seen for a long time.
The reason why Sun Yi has never come to the studio to watch and supervise the progress is because Yang Fan is here to keep an eye on him.
Among the people at the scene, Han Sanping had seen Sun Yi's renderings, but the things in front of him were too shocking, and they were still beyond his imagination, and he asked very uncertainly: "This is the cockpit of your mecha?" ”
Sun Yi nodded, and then gave Yang Fan a look, the latter understood, and hurriedly used the walkie-talkie to pause the construction on the site first, and only after the environment was quieter did he start to introduce to everyone:
"This is the mecha cockpit of a sci-fi movie under our stars, divided into two parts, consisting of a giant hydraulic balance table below and a simulated cockpit above. The overall weight is about 20 tons, and the height is about 6 meters. It can achieve a variety of actions such as raising, descending, rolling, and shaking. A cockpit like this, three units were needed for the entire movie, and this is the first one that is currently nearing completion. ”
"What do you do with this?" Although Feng Xiaogang is also an experienced director, everything in front of him is still beyond his imagination, and he can't help but ask.
Sun Yi stood up and explained to Feng Xiaogang: "The movie we want to make is a realistic science fiction movie about mecha fighting monsters, during the battle, I have to ensure the physical realism of the mecha movements, and the actors' behavior in the cab can show the mecha combat actions to a certain extent in front of the camera." ”
"Then you can use special effects, why do you have to make a real one?" Feng Xiaogang was puzzled and asked again.
Sun Yi smiled and replied: "Director Feng, you believe me, it is difficult for an actor to perform the weightlessness caused by the attack of a mecha on his own in a performance, and the special effects cannot be generated out of thin air, they must be based on the actor's performance, so I created this simulated cockpit." ”
Seeing that Feng Xiaogang still seemed to understand, Sun Yi decided to show his face in front of Han Dong today, teach them another lesson, pulled Yang Fan over and asked, "This No. 1 machine, how is the progress, can it be simulated?" “
Yang Fan also understood what Sun Yi meant, and hurriedly replied:
"At the moment, the internal painting and water sprinkler system are still missing, and the running simulation has been carried out several times without problems."
"Then show everyone the effect."
"Okay." Yang Fan raised the walkie-talkie and said: "No. 1 machine, simulation experiment, staff check standby status, stuntmen prepare, guards are in place, and all irrelevant personnel are evacuated from the scene." ”
The construction workers at the scene began to evacuate in an orderly manner, and the two stuntmen belonging to the starry sky began to wear special protective clothing and helmets, which were not the close-fitting armor in the movie, but special protective clothing that was put on to protect the shoulders, neck, waist and legs.
"The No. 1 machine, the hydraulic state is normal."
"The number one machine and the motor are ready."
"Unit 1, the lights are normal."
"Platform, hydraulics are normal, can be simulated."
After checking the equipment, the staff helped the two stuntmen fit into the exoskeleton in the center of the helmet. Then the platform was evacuated.
The on-site guards do safety protection at the operating station.
Yang Fan nodded at Sun Yi, and then picked up the walkie-talkie.
"Wanderer, activate."
Brush.
The LED lights inside the helmet are all lit up, and the bright blue light tone brings a futuristic sci-fi feeling to the face.
"Walking action."
Airplanes. Laugh at.
The motor started to work, and the sound of the air pump accompanied by the hydraulic rod began to sound.
The entire chamber seemed to come to life, and began to shake up and down, left and right at a uniform speed, along with the operation of the bottom platform.
The bodies of the two stunt pilots also began to shake, and there was a slight frustration in each step of the movement. It's like actually walking with a giant mech.
"Crash action."
"Attention driver, crash ready."
321
Buzz~snort~~~
The moment the countdown ended, the cockpit flashed red, and the beep immediately sounded.
"Impact Warning, Impact Warning!!"
Immediately, the whole platform was quickly jacked up by the hydraulic arm below, and there was a large angle of reclining in an instant, and the two drivers also seemed to have been impacted, and the whole body was weightless, and fell backwards with inertia and semi-vacancy, and the cab also jumped out of sparks in time.
It's very realistic and it's awesome.
Sun Yi licked the corners of his mouth excitedly, and involuntarily began to construct the shooting picture in his mind.
Zhou Xiaojun stood at the back of the crowd, forgetting to take pictures at the moment, and he didn't even watch the film, just this paragraph, which made him tremble.
Who would dare to believe it?
This, this fucking can be a Chinese movie?
Director Chen looked at the scene in front of him, his expression was complicated, with a little entanglement and a little disdain.
And Feng Xiaogang on the side, his eyes were straight and wide, as if he were a bull's eye, obviously he was completely shocked by everything in front of him, and only after a long time did he spit out a sentence.
"What the hell,."
He actually subconsciously cursed a dirty word.
Liu Yifei's eyes were full of novelty, her face was red with excitement, and she almost jumped up and jumped.
What a big toy!
The expression on his face, I can't wait to go up and experience it now.
Han Sanping was in the center of the crowd, and he also clenched his fists excitedly, and the feeling of Peng Bai in his heart was overflowing.
has become, the first step of China's film industrialization can be regarded as a step.
In particular, the sprinkler system has not yet been completed, and the hydrostatic test has not yet been completed.
Sun Yi expected that the mecha was traveling in the storm, the cockpit swayed left and right, and from time to time there would be waves splashing over, which was not visible today.
After everyone eased up, Sun Yi led them to the next place, which was the last deep-water studio.
The main equipment is debugged by foreigners, and the deep-water shooting and wave simulation equipment are imported from abroad.
After some communication.
The foreign staff also agreed to simulate the test for everyone according to the current progress.
"Level 1 waves, start."
Airplanes~~~~
On one side of the pool, the rails of the sliding rails like a train began to move, and then gradually accelerated, driving the wave plate deep into the water, and began to stir up the waves.
"Storm Waves, Activate."
The small train on the slide began to continue to accelerate, and the wave plate in the water began to churn, and at the same time, the water pipes on the steel frame hoisted above the pool began to spray water under pressure, simulating the water droplets on the waves.
In the pool, the waves are higher and higher, constantly hitting the shore, splashing against each other and splashing out.
Even when everyone stood at a safe distance outside the pool, they felt the water vapor rushing to their noses, and the feeling of the stormy waves that belonged to nature came to their faces.
Today, everyone is an eye-opener, and finally knows how Hollywood blockbusters are made.
