Chapter 060 Special effects blockbuster strikes
...........
1am.
The filming location reached the second floor, and the actors took the time to touch up their makeup and rest.
In fact, filming is completely different from what you see on the screen. The crew usually shoots in a way that saves time.
Just like the scene where ‘Axiang’ celebrates her birthday.
There are too many main characters appearing, each one is very crucial, and the plot connects the first and second floors.
When filming, it must not be like the situation on the screen where "there is movement on the first floor and panic immediately occurs on the second floor."
The visual effects must be achieved through shooting, camera rotation, post-production editing, and stitching to connect the plot.
When filming, we focused on the first floor first to get all the actors' scenes on the first floor, and then went to the second floor to capture everyone's feedback and expressions.
So there are actually two parts of the play on the second floor, one is the facial expression feedback when the characters appear, and the other is the "Happy Birthday Song" triggered by "Huang Landeng"'s second climb up the stairs.
Making a movie is not about reciting poetry, in fact it is not romantic at all.
In terms of plot alone, anyone who watches this scene will laugh out loud and praise it.
But when it's the actors' turn to shoot, it's not the same. One NG after another is enough to kill the actors' enthusiasm and energy.
On the rest chair...
Fang Ziheng closed his eyes and let the makeup artist apply makeup on his face.
The weather is too hot and it is easy to sweat. When sweating occurs, the makeup on the actor's face will be deformed and the makeup must be reapplied many times.
He's pretty good. Qin Feng is a high school graduate and a young man. His face doesn't need too much embellishment, just keep it clear and handsome.
For example, Baoqiang, Xiao Yang, Deng Chao, etc., in order to fit the characteristics of the characters, they have to add layers of makeup on their faces to reflect the visual characteristics of the characters.
Zeng Li sat next to him, holding a mirror and applying lipstick.
She does all her makeup herself, and Fang Ziheng only has one requirement: to reduce her noble and cool aura and increase her intellectual coquettishness and low-level allure.
She looked at Fang Ziheng in the mirror and asked softly: "Director Fang, Concubine said that you will return to China in a while?"
"Well... around the 20th, I have to fly back."
Fang Ziheng opened his eyes, turned his head and smiled: "Sister Li, your scenes have just finished filming in the past few days, so we can take a flight back."
"Okay, I just need a man to help carry my luggage." Zeng Li blinked and said in an "Axiang" tone.
Goblin...
Fang Ziheng's expression did not change, his heart was beating wildly.
He returned to China this time because he was invited by China Film Director Han to attend the premiere of "Transformers 2".
"Transformers 2" will be released on June 24, and China Film will hold a grand premiere ceremony in the imperial capital.
"Metamorphosis", a veritable IP series fast food movie, relies entirely on powerful special effects to support the visual effects.
With the first film being a hit, "Transformers 2" has its own box office appeal, which is no worse than that of several major domestic directors, or even stronger.
In his last life, he watched this drama in the cinema. The special effects were high throughout, with sparks and lightning all the way.
Crackling... bang, bang, bang... bang bang...
The box office was also very strong, with a box office of 34 million yuan on the first day of release.
The shocking figures immediately shattered the first-day box office record for domestic films.
I remember that the first-day box office holder for domestic films at this time was still Red Cliff 1, which had a first-day box office of 24 million.
This time "Transformers 2" has arrived as scheduled, and it is expected to be just like the previous one, and it still shocked the entire entertainment industry.
As the country deepens its integration with international standards, many aspects will be affected by external impacts, and the invasion of film culture will become more and more serious.
With its complete industrial system and powerful filming technology, Hollywood has conquered cities and territories around the world. How could it let go of China, a huge and untapped market?
In terms of Domestic Protection Month, China Film Group has actually done a very good job, and they have paid enough attention to these special effects blockbusters.
The real reason is that domestic films rarely have commercial blockbusters of their own.
Many viewers cannot find a domestic movie they like and try to watch foreign blockbusters. They are immediately blown away by the first exposure.
Then the audience fell into a cycle, watching foreign blockbusters and cursing domestic movies for being incompetent, while at the same time looking forward to high-quality domestic blockbusters.
such a pity!
Many film companies don't know the audience's psychology, or they pretend not to know.
...........
"Everyone, come over and have something to eat together."
An elegant voice came from outside the set, and Feifei Lin and her people came over with cooked supper to reward everyone.
Fang Ziheng stood up from his seat and said to Zeng Li, "Let's go, Sister Li, go have something to eat."
"Director, I don't want to eat. I feel like I've gained weight these days." Zeng Li touched his flat and firm belly and shook his head in rejection.
God is so fat!
What kind of figure do you have? Don’t you think you have any points?
Fang Ziheng glanced at the sexy figure of the great beauty Zeng, and said with a bad smile: "Sister Li, don't be afraid, you should eat and drink when you should, and practice a few more sets of yoga moves after eating, everything will be fine!"
After saying that, he ignored Zeng Li's eyes and came outside the set happily.
"Yo... there will be fried noodles tonight!"
Smelling the aroma of minced meat and chili fried rice noodles, Fang Ziheng swallowed, picked up the bowl and chopsticks and filled a large bowl.
"It's delicious, it's delicious." He devoured it while giving Lin Feifei a thumbs up.
Seeing that he was eating too quickly, Sister Lin unscrewed a bottle of mineral water and handed it over: "Slow down, don't choke."
"Have you set a time to return to China? I can buy you a plane ticket. It's the tourist season now and it's hard to buy air tickets."
"belch.."
Fang Ziheng took two large sips of mineral water, burped and said, "It can be either the afternoon of the 20th or the morning of the 21st. Leave two or three days aside. I have other things to do."
"knew."
Concubine Lin nodded and shouted to the leading actors who were still applying their make-up: "Come here and have something to eat. I'll do my make-up later."
"Come on, come on..."
For a time, the studio was crowded with people.
The staff were eating with bowls and chopsticks in hand. Just by looking at this posture, everyone knew that they would work overtime until late tonight.
Half past one in the morning.
Everyone had enough to eat and drink, and continued working.
"The actors are in place!"
“Photography in place!”
"Live radio!"
"Scene 63, first shot, start!"
In an instant, the studio on the second floor fell completely silent.
Fang Ziheng and Bao Qiang took the lead in changing roles.
The two of them quietly ran to the second floor. When they knew that the person downstairs was a robber, they panicked and looked for a hiding place.
The two of them looked around and dived into two wardrobes respectively.
Bang!
There was a roar, and the wardrobe leaning on the outside shook violently twice.
then...
Under everyone's surprised gazes, Fang Ziheng clutched his head and came out with a painful look on his face, cursing: "Props, what the hell did you do, the wardrobe is too short!"
He just dove in, closed the kitchen door and stood up straight. Because he was going too fast, his head came into close contact with the ceiling.
Props team leader Li Zecheng trotted over and explained anxiously: "Director, I'm sorry, we made it according to the standard wardrobe, and the inner height is only one meter six."
"Hiss... Ouch..."
"Then we should make it clear to the actors and inform them of the situation!"
Fang Ziheng covered his head and cursed, grinning in pain.
Outside the camera, a group of people looked down at their toes. Zhile's shoulders were shaking, wanting to laugh but not daring to laugh out loud.
Fang Ziheng ignored these fools and looked at Wen Muye: "Old Wen, can you use the lens just now?"
"Director, no problem!"
That's fine.
He entered the closet again, and this time he learned the lesson, squatting with his legs slightly bent and leaning against the side of the closet.
call....
When he closed the door, everyone outside breathed a sigh of relief.
Li Zecheng patted his guard, gestured to the front of the monitor, and ran out of the camera with lingering fear.
Even though Fang Ziheng was covering his head just now, his curse still frightened everyone, and the director's power was not reduced at all.
Filming continues...
"Scene 63, first shot of the second shot, begin!"
Chapter completed!
