Chapter 40: Borrowing and Using (Asking for Recommendation Votes!)

After more than half a month, "Jaws" finally completed the preliminary preparations.

The shooting equipment, interior and exterior scenes, crew, actors, and props are all ready.

The progress of the special effects company is also in the plan, after all, it's just a shark, not a complicated special effect.

On June 4th, Li Qian led the crew to the filming location, which is located in the Nansha Seaside Resort on the coast of Ningbo.

When I saw Mr. Wang again, he was still waiting by the sea.

A week later, the sound is still there......

No, it's still smiling!

Li Qian instructed everyone in the crew to prepare, and walked up to say hello, "Mr. Wang, there will be a lot of disturbances in the next week." ”

Director Li is polite, if you need to greet casually. Mr. Wang said with a smile.

After a few words of greeting, the other party watched the crew prepare here from the side, and watched for a while before leaving.

On the first day of filming, the first scene filmed was the scene where the stump of the first victim was found.

One night, a girl was attacked by a shark in the water, and the next day the stump of her body was washed away by the sea.

In this scene, there are two group performers, plus Li Guangjie, who are changing their clothes and simply putting on a look.

The props team is burying the prop stumps in the sand and getting all kinds of garbage in the sea on them.

Li Qian watched from the side, turned his head and asked, "What about the crab, are you ready?"

A field worker next to him immediately replied, "It's ready, Director Li." ”

As he spoke, the field worker trotted to the car and brought a bucket containing a small half-bucket of live sea crabs.

Although crabs are omnivores, they like to eat carrion, and the carcasses of fish and shrimp in the sea are also the main source of food.

Moreover, crabs need a lot of food before they have their shells, and sometimes crabs that have not yet shed their shells will often eat their own kind of people who have not lost their shells and have no self-defense ability when they do not have enough food.

Qi Yukun said on the side, "Director Li, I think it's better to be a vulture, and the sensory stimulation is stronger than that of a crab." ”

Li Qian shook his head, "Our film is positioned as a thriller, not relying on bloody horror scenes to attract people." ”

"Also, crabs are edible, imagine that you regularly eat the same kind of crabs. And one day it's eating your kind right in front of your eyes, what do you feel. ”

"Besides, it's easier to release crabs, and I also deliberately asked them to pick a small crab and crawl and nibble on the stump densely, and the effect will not be bad. ”

Scenes of people seeing the same kind being eaten by other animals are not uncommon in thrillers and horror films, and they are also indispensable shots.

This is also the first terrifying scene at the beginning of "Jaws", and its importance is self-evident.

The props team tossed for more than half an hour before the scene was properly arranged.

And Li Guangjie and the two group performers have also finished their makeup and are ready.

After everything was prepared, Li Qian did not pour any chicken soup for the employees.

The crew of the Internet University has less than half a month of filming time, and I don't want the movie to be half a year at every turn, and it is easy for people to be physically and psychologically exhausted from a long time of continuous work.

In less than half a month, before they had emotional problems, the movie was finished.

After a few simple sentences, the routine technical experiments and effect experiments began.

However, just like when "Sniper Phone Booth" was filmed, there was a problem with the effect experiment.

"After this hand is given a close-up, the fake is a bit too much. ”

After the effect experiment, the entire crew gathered around the arm buried in the sand.

The leader of the props team hurriedly explained, "Director Li, this hand has been made very exquisitely, but it can't withstand the close-up of nearly two seconds." ”

Li Guangjie next to him said, "Since it's smooth, don't make it so complete, just get some blood." ”

You know a hammer!

The leader of the props team scolded in his heart, but he didn't refute it, who made the family the hero.

"It's not about props. ”

Li Qian shook his head, this is a big network, it can't be compared to movies, especially big productions, a slightly more important prop is tens of thousands.

The cost of "Jaws" adds up the 1.1 million special effects costs, which is 1.6 million, and the rest is mainly spent in the studio, after all, you have to build a prop boat.

There is not enough cost, how to make more realistic props, and it is almost the same to cut off the hands of the prop team leader.

However, Li Qian still answered Li Guangjie's question, "The flesh and blood blur made of this arm does look more realistic, but a pile of rotten flesh has no effect." ”

"A full arm, although not so bloody, is far less visually impactful than psychological. ”

Li Guangjie thought about it, Hollywood bloody horror movies are indeed not as scary as neon thriller horror films, just watching horror, and I don't feel it at all after watching it.

And the classic neon horror film, that is from the mental damage.

However, can Li Qian make the effect of a neon thriller horror film?

Although Li Qian's "Sniper Phone Booth" is an excellent suspense film above the level, after all, he is a few years younger than himself, and Li Guangjie is still a little uncertain in his heart.

Li Qian didn't know Li Guangjie's inner activities, but even if he knew, he wouldn't care.

Many industries lack confidence in young people, such as doctors, the older the patient, the more they believe, on the contrary, it is difficult for a hairy boy to gain the trust of patients, especially for serious diseases.

Everyone studied around this arm for half an hour, no matter what aspect of the change, it couldn't be done in the case of a large close-up, it looked like the real thing.

The crabs on and around the arms began to slowly scatter, after all, they were prosthetic hands, and they didn't eat them.

"Catch the crabs, don't let them run. ”

Li Qian trampled a small crab that crawled to his feet and commanded several field workers.

Everyone scrambled to grab the crabs.

"What do you have to do so that the prop hand is the same as the original, and even the lines on the fingers are clear under the big close-up. ”

"It's exactly like the real thing!"

Li Qian began to be a little anxious in his heart, and it was not good for him to be a teacher.

Last time, Lei Jiayin's head was too big......

However, thinking of Lei Jiayin's big head, Li Qian glanced at Li Guangjie, who also had a small face.

Fortunately, he has a big long face, which does not affect the camera.

Li Guangjie, who was also pondering on the side, saw Li Qian looking at him and tilted his head slightly.

And Li Qian didn't look at him at this time, making him inexplicable.

"Why does the original look exactly like the real hand, more real than the real thing!"

Li Qian thought about it for a long time, and suddenly had inspiration, and his eyes lit up.

"That's right, it's the real hand!"

Shouting, Li Qian said to several workers, "Which of you will lend me my hand." ”
