A small town outside of Los Angeles.

The main road was deserted, and the doors of the shops on both sides of the street were wide open, and the interior was in shambles, with broken glass scattered all over the place, and large black blood stains could be seen from time to time. Garbage cans on the side of the road were dumped, and the road was littered with paper, plastic bags and broken food bags, and the smell of rot seemed to emanate from the air.

All sorts of cars were parked crookedly on the side of the road, some battered, some still billowing black smoke, and most of the windows had been shattered.

The whole town is deserted, and it exudes an apocalyptic atmosphere.

Anyone who sees it will shudder.

In contrast, the grass outside the street is full of people, noisy and lively.

"Ladies, please go to tent 1 to get makeup, men to tent 2, and special actors to tent 3."

A staff member with a bullhorn is loudly maintaining order.

It turned out to be a crew set.

It is the "Walking Dead" of the North American starry sky.

Originally, Sun Yi was going to return to China after finishing Xiao Nizi's charity fund in the United States, but later I heard John say that a TV series like "The Walking Dead" does not need any large-scale special effects, just on-site makeup, it will not take long to prepare for filming, as long as you have money, you can start filming in a few days.

At first, Sun Yi was a little surprised, it was not that he had never made movies in the United States, and his preparations took a while at that time.

But John explained to him that this was Hollywood, and that nearly a quarter of the people in the city of Los Angeles had jobs that could have something to do with movies.

And like in China, Hollywood's TV series are completely inferior to movies, if you don't have to find any big-name stars, in the case of a complete script, actors, crew and other can basically be recruited at any time, there are a lot of personnel to choose from, and the level is not bad.

Listening to John's meaning, the ordinary actors and related film and television practitioners here are a bit like short-term workers in the domestic labor market, a casual phone call, a call, a day, a day, and a withdrawal.

In fact, John is right, this is the truest appearance of Hollywood, and that gorgeous appearance can only be enjoyed by the top handful of big-name stars and industry directors, and 80% of practitioners are like this.

You won't believe that in the coffee shops that can be found everywhere on the side of the Hollywood road, a waiter who has just served you coffee may have appeared in a well-known movie, even shown his face, and had a few lines.

The competition on Hollywood's side is much greater than people think.

Sun Yi was a little curious about this and wanted to see it. After doing the math, I felt that I still had some time, and I just wanted to see John's ability and connections as a producer, so I simply left a few more days and let him do it.

Unexpectedly, in just three days, the entire crew was prepared by him, in addition to the senior staff, the leading actors he chose were also deeply satisfied by Wen Ziren.

I don't know if there is providence in the dark, but the choice of the protagonist is actually the British actor Andrew Lincoln in his previous life.

The scene to be filmed today is the first scene in the play.

The main character, Rick, is the deputy sheriff of a small town on the outskirts of Atlanta. In the course of performing official duties, he was shot and seriously injured, and was rushed to a local hospital for emergency treatment.

When he woke up, he found the hospital empty. When he came to the street, he saw a ruined scene, and he realized that something must be wrong outside, but he didn't know what it was. They returned home to look for their wife and son, but they and their neighbours were nowhere to be found.

Rick is attacked by zombies while searching for him, but a father and son in the neighbor's house save him. They tell Rick the truth about the "zombie plague".

At this point, the background of the story is explained in the length of one episode.

The crew's side.

"Ziren, how are you preparing?"

"Almost." Wen Ziren lifted his glasses and replied solemnly.

He has some mild myopia, but it does not affect his daily life, and he will only choose to wear it when he is working, at this time in front of Sun Yi, he is still a little nervous, but more excited.

wants to show his true strength in front of the big boss, so that Sun Yi feels that signing him is definitely a wise choice.

Sun Yi nodded and smiled, and said to Wen Ziren: "Don't worry about me, you just shoot according to your ideas, haven't we already discussed the theme of the whole series and reached a consensus." ”

Wen Ziren pursed his lips and nodded, grabbed the walkie-talkie and walked out of the monitoring shed.

"Attention to all departments, it's ready to start filming, the photography team, lighting team, makeup props team, and actors insist on it one last time and report back to the state."

"The photography team is ok, the lighting group is in place"

Sun Yi clasped his hands to his chest, and the old god watched Wen Ziren calmly dispatch the crew on the spot, peeping at the leopard in the tube, just the preparations before the start of filming were orderly, and he was like a general.

Sun Yi felt more and more that signing Wen Ziren was a clear choice.

He has high expectations for this drama.

Different from previous zombie films, The Walking Dead is not a story only about zombies, human nature is the main theme of the story, zombies are no longer a threat, the war between people, the war between people and the dark side of themselves, is the main theme.

When the zombie apocalypse comes, humans are no longer humans, and they return to the beginning to be no different from animals, and there is no civilization again.

This is the biggest attraction of this show.

The whole script is completely based on this secondary creation, coupled with Wen Ziren's grasp of horror elements and the portrayal of the character's psychology, Sun Yi believes that this drama will definitely be able to reproduce the classics of the previous life and go to the next level.

"Whew!"

Sun Yi's thoughts were interrupted by a roar, and he frowned and turned his head to see a miserable white and decaying zombie face close at hand.

I rub!

The body subconsciously retreated, and with a backhand push, it pushed the "zombie" to the ground.

"Oops"

The "zombie" screamed coquettishly, and sat firmly on the ground with a big squat.

Why is this sound so familiar?

Sun Yi bent down to take a closer look.

What the hell is going on!

My ancestor, you can't stop, I said I haven't seen you this morning, and I've been playing cosplay for a long time.

The person who sat on the ground and kept moaning was none other than our heroine Liu Yifei.

At this moment, her hair was as black as a waterfall, scattered on her pale face, the bottom of her eyes was red, revealing a strange light, between her slightly open lips, a row of sharp fangs loomed, and the corners of her mouth were still stained with blood.

The robes on his body were tattered, and dark red blood stains could be seen everywhere, revealing tattered and decay.

Xu is makeup artist only painted her face makeup, under the tattered costume is not the withered skin of zombies, on the contrary, Xiao Nizi's crystal white and tender skin is even more eye-catching, with her zombie dress, beauty and evil are intertwined, it is an irresistible temptation, there is an indescribable depravity taste.

Zombie bride!

"What are you doing~~"

The "zombie" sat on the ground and covered his buttocks, complaining to Sun Yi with a "bloody mouth".

The eyes were red and there were a little tears, and it could be seen that this was not a makeup painting.

"Who knew you were engaged in a surprise attack, and the whole thing. This look has been reshaped. ”

Sun Yi was a little helpless, hurriedly stepped forward and pulled up Xiao Nizi, and then asked with a concerned face:

"It hurts."

In a hurry just now, he used a little strength, and Xiao Nizi must have fallen hard.

"People just want to experience playing zombies, why do you react so much?"

"The wicked sue first, right, if you don't carry out a surprise attack, I can react so much?"

"No matter, I'll blame you."

Sun Yi shrugged his shoulders and sighed:

"Okay, okay, okay, I was wrong, I'll do this one day, and then I'll play with you at night."

"You dare!"

Of course, Liu Yifei also knew that she was wrong, and she originally wanted to scare Sun Yi, but she really didn't expect that Sun Yi reacted so much, and her ass was in vain.

However, the goal of playing a zombie must still be achieved.

An hour later.

"Click, this zombie walks in the wrong way, one foot high and one foot low."

"Click, arm, hand, basket movements. Oh, yes. ”

"Harazi, Harazi throw it out."

"Click"

"What a zombie is this? Sun Yi, you declare a personal vendetta! ”

"Eh, don't do it, this zombie is similar to a cerebral thrombosis."

"Don't run, you did it on purpose!"

"Hahaha"

Sitting on the plane back to China, Liu Yifei still didn't forgive Sun Yi, and slashed him with small eyes at every turn.

I don't blame Liu Yifei, people wanted to experience the feeling of making zombie movies, and even the makeup was not so bloody and disgusting, but Sun Yi was good, and actually let her play a cerebral thrombosis zombie.

Don't be angry.

With her appearance, even if she plays a zombie, she has to be a little fairy zombie.

It wasn't until the plane landed that Sun Yi promised several big meals before he coaxed Xiao Nizi well.

When he returned to China, it was almost the end of September, and Sun Yi was in a hurry, but he stayed in the United States for more than half a month, and only rested at home for a day, so he went to the Starry Sky Digital Base to prepare to deal with some post-production problems of "Wings of the Sky", and by the way, take a look at the preparation of "Huantai".

The special effects of "Wings of the Sky" have been completed for the most part, and this speed is due to the early entry of the special effects artist, coupled with the huge technical reserves in the digital field, just the level of "Pearl Harbor", which is still handy.

Starry Sky Digital also participated in the whole process, responsible for all aspects of it, from digital modeling to 3D molding, as well as particle rendering, all of which were used once, which can be regarded as accumulating good practical experience and laying a solid foundation for the special effects of "Huantai".

Michael, who is in charge of Star Digital, told Sun Yi that the special effects engineers here have preliminarily mastered various technologies in the digital field, and over time, they will definitely be able to develop their own technologies on the basis of proficient use.

The preparations for "Huantai" have all been completed, including the mecha cockpit, the resistance base scene, and the deep-water photography, and the 3D shooting is all done, just waiting for Sun Yi, the director, and Liu Yifei, the heroine, to appear.

Sun Yi made a decision immediately and started filming directly.

Speaking of the preparation of this movie, since the official establishment of the project at the end of last year, it has been scattered for a year, and it is Sun Yi's film with the longest time, the largest investment in resources and effort, and the highest investment so far.

Because of this movie, he stubbornly brought a wave of seedlings to the starry sky image.

However, fortunately, the results are gratifying, after this year's preparations and the introduction of various technologies, the current production level of the entire starry sky image is obviously on par with Hollywood, and it is a few grades higher than that of China.

Now I'm waiting for the movie to finish and see how the results will be.

The history of the Chinese film industry will be rewritten by him, and the industrialization of the film industry will be established by him, and it doesn't matter if he fails, it's a big deal to continue to work hard.

Starry Sky Digital Base, Studio 1, Room 2.

This is the scene of the Doomsday Resistance Base in "Rim Tai", where most of the scenes between the actors are completed.

In a special effects movie like "Bad Lady", the actors' acting skills are actually helpless, and the audience's focus will definitely not be on the actors, but on those mecha special effects.

Therefore, Sun Yi's requirements for actors are not so high, mainly because even if he has high requirements, he can't act anything, because the script doesn't have those literary things at all.

Today's scene is a showdown between Sun Yi and Liu Yifei.

According to the plot, the neuronal control system that controls the mecha hunter is too large for a person's spirit to bear, so humans have developed a two-person operating system to bear the pressure of the mecha control system through the left and right brains.

The male protagonist played by Sun Yi is his own brother, but he died in the process of fighting monsters as early as 3 years ago, so in order to re-operate the mecha, he needs to choose a partner again.

The competition of force is one of the selections.

The candidate, of course, is the heroine, Liu Yifei.

This action scene is very professional, and the martial arts instructor is Wu Jing, who was recommended by Liu Yifei's good friend Xie Nan.

Xiao Nizi has been interviewed by Xie Nan a few times, and they have a good appetite for each other, and they have become friends in the circle after coming and going.

Hearing Xiao Nizi talk about martial arts instruction, Xie Nan introduced Wu Jing without thinking about it.

Sun Yi was a little surprised when he first heard Xiao Nizi say Wu Jing, it was only 09 years, could it be that the two of them had already looked at mung beans at this time, and they were eye-to-eye?

In fact, Sun Yi guessed correctly, the two of them already had a little bit of a secret rubbing at this time, but they hadn't broken it yet.

Wu Jing debuted in the mainland, at that time, mainland actors were not popular, he could only go to Hong Kong Island to develop, but he didn't expect that Hong Kong Island was even more xenophobic, and he could only play a small supporting role in various films, and no one paid attention to him at all.

A few years ago, he left Hong Kong Island with an injury and returned to the mainland to develop, but there was no good opportunity for a while, Xie Nan was interested in this, and happened to meet Liu Yifei to talk about martial arts guidance, so he directly recommended him.

"Director Sun, how is it, is there anything wrong with this set of actions?"

"Brother Jing, this"

"Don't, don't, Director Sun, you still call me Lao Wu, otherwise I can't stand it."

"Look at you, then Lao Wu, do you think I just hit right?"

"I don't think there's a problem, but I suggest going through it a few more times with Miss Liu before the official start of filming."

"Well, that makes sense, Sissi, come on."

Speaking of which, Sun Yi has never filmed an action scene as a director, but this thing is much the same, it is nothing more than to create a sense of action for the audience through the editing of the shots.

As for how he fights, Sun Yi really doesn't have any foundation in this regard, he can only have a military body boxing, and his strength is definitely enough, but the action scenes in film and television dramas are more about skills, that is, the so-called flower work, and he has to fight well, and he is much worse than Liu Yifei in this regard.

This set of actions, Xiao Nizi only practiced for an hour, and she looked good, which provoked Wu Jing to praise again and again, and Sun Yi himself practiced all morning, and in the end, Wu Jing still had some words to stop, and passed extremely reluctantly.

Sun Yi couldn't help but sigh secretly, he really didn't have any talent for action scenes.

Xiao Nizi heard Sun Yi's shout, carried a prop stick, and ran over.

Standing in front of Sun Yi, he "swished", "swished" and "swished" very chic and pulled a stick flower, and then pointed at Sun Yi with a stick with one hand, squinted his eyes and smiled sweetly, and waved provocatively with the other hand, and said with a sly smile:

"Come on!"
