Chapter 37 Cool props and costumes

At the shooting base of Oriental Film Capital, the shooting team of "Space Warning" is building a studio.
Yang Bufan was still wearing his denim jacket, work pants, and mustache, observing in the venue.
"Hey, this prop is a little higher, right...yes, turn left slightly by 30° and I'll see the effect." Visual effects director Miao Yu directed his subordinates to place the props.
"Bufan, can you shoot the main plot today?" A man with a baseball cap and agile pace came over, and an assistant was following behind him.
This person is one of the male stars of "Space Warning", a domestic first-line action star, Gu Yuan. Gu Yuan has been in the industry for more than ten years and is known for his dedication and tough guy. Generally speaking, his pay is at least tens of millions, but this time, the shooting of "Space Warning" was to repay favors, so the pay was only symbolically given 900,000 yuan.
"If there is no problem with the props, it should be fine." Yang Bufan and Gu Yuan have known each other for many years, and they communicated very casually directly.
"Can props work? You brag so well!" Gu Yuan questioned in a tone, "I think you were deliberately blowing it to trick me into filming!"
"I'm a turtle egg with lying to you!" Yang Bufan was anxious, "As long as they can make a concept map of 70% - no, 60% of the effect, it will definitely be first-class props! If you don't believe it, I'll make a bet with you."
"I bet that the props this time will definitely surprise you. If I lose, I will give you a free job in the next movie!"
"Free work? What did you say?" Gu Yuan's eyes lit up. He had a high value and Yang Bufan's value was not low. Free help, this was a big bleeding!
"I said!" Yang Bufan nodded.
"Okay!" Gu Yuan agreed directly.
"Hey, you guys, I haven't told you about the conditions for losing! What's the point of being good about you?" Yang Bufan said speechlessly. Gu Yuan had a straightforward personality, which is something that everyone in the film and television industry knows.
"Tell me!" Gu Yuan said indifferently.
"If you lose, you can help..." Yang Bufan whispered in Gu Yuan's ear.
"Okay, you guys have come to me!" Gu Yuan pointed at him with a smile.
"I can't do anything about it, who knew that one of the producers suddenly withdrew its investment, and it's hard for a good cook to cook without rice!" Yang Bufan said with a wry smile.
"Okay, but I need to inspect the goods first!"
The two of them came to the outfield. On the forklift, there were movie props that had just been unloaded, all wrapped in boxes.
"It's quite tightly covered, open it and take a look!" Gu Yuan shouted.
Several businessmen rushed over to help, and Du Mingxuan also walked into the venue and greeted Yang Bufan and others.
"Director Yang, the list of all the items on the orders is complete. Because it is inconvenient to transport, the large props are disassembled and installed. Now someone has to be found to assemble them." Du Mingxuan explained.
"Okay, Feng Ming, find a few more people to help." Yang Bufan shouted, and the deputy director Feng Ming there arranged for him to go.
A quarter of an hour later, all parts were sorted and various props and parts were placed on the ground.
"It looks pretty good." Gu Yuan picked up a laser gun model from the ground. It was made of aluminum alloy. It was coated with stainless steel on the outside and also painted with camouflage. As a movie prop, it is not hard, but light.
Gu Yuan picked up the laser gun and made a standard posture. He was surprised and said, "Hey, it feels quite touching. The workmanship looks like a real gun! It's great!"
Before becoming an actor, Gu Yuan served in the army and had some research on guns. According to his experience, the design of this laser gun is very consistent with the principles of guns. If it is not a prop, Gu Yuan would suspect that this is a new type of gun developed by the military!
"That's just a little bit, look at this!" Du Mingxuan asked the workers to open a large box, which was nearly three meters high and was padded with foam.
"This is the prop server, right? Hurry up, open it and take a look!" Yang Bufan said anxiously. Since he finished reading the concept picture that day, he went back and studied it repeatedly with the visual effects team, and agreed that this design was the most perfect choice, so he has been looking forward to it for a long time!
Du Mingxuan opened the foam packaging and showed a huge mechanical exoskeleton prop suit. It was nearly three meters high and the steel skeleton stood straight. The rough and unruly design style, the "stout" mechanical arms and mechanical legs, and there were hydraulic lifting devices from the steel torso to the legs to support and adjust the movement of the mechanical exoskeleton.
Its body is radiant with metallic color and is accompanied by a space force military paint specially designed by the visual effects team. Looking at it a few meters away, it does not look like a movie prop, but a "machine armor" full of futuristic sense!
The moment they saw this prop-suit, directors Yang Bufan and Gu Yuan's eyes were straightened!
When the concept picture on the computer appears in front of you, the visual impact is irresistible!
"This prop is so cool! Haha, this is what you want!" Yang Bufan walked closer and looked, and the joy on his face was hard to hide. He touched the surface of the mechanical exoskeleton with his hands and felt the cold touch.
Gu Yuan shouted even more excitedly, rushed over immediately, and asked, "Can this thing be tried on?"
"Of course!" Du Mingxuan nodded, "Just wear it directly."
"Can this thing be worn moving?" Gu Yuan asked again. The prop suit looks so big, most of which are made of metal, and he suspected that he could not wear it.
"Yes!" Du Mingxuan said, "It just looks like the paint on the outside is made of steel. In fact, many parts are made of aluminum alloy and hollow design. In addition, there are some auxiliary power devices on the legs and robotic arms, so it won't be so tired when worn."
Gu Yuan was about to wear it immediately, and Du Mingxuan helped him put it in. After a while, Gu Yuan had put all the props and clothes on.
"Not bad, not bad! It looks really exciting. Brother Yuan, try moving!" Yang Bufan shouted.
Gu Yuan immediately groped in his movements, lifted his legs, walked, and raised his seemingly huge arms. At first, Gu Yuan was a little uncomfortable, but his physical fitness was strong and he quickly mastered the basic movements.
"Look at me!" Gu Yuan wore the mechanical exoskeleton prop suit and ran on the set, while raising the laser gun with his robotic arm to make a move and shoot.
"It's so cool!" The busy staff shouted on the set.
"Awesome, awesome!" Yang Bufan looked at the scene and was in a good mood. He said to Du Mingxuan: "Boss Du, your prop has a full score of 100 points, and I will score 120 points!"
Gu Yuanjian was happy, played for a while, then ran over panting and said, "This thing must be good for making movies! It's still a bit heavy when moving. I, a big man, gasped in a few minutes."
"Just be content! Such a big prop is good enough to make this way." Yang Bufan said on his own initiative, "At most, it's a little harder to film, but the effect is better than anything else!"
"Yes, I think so too. Boss Du, what else can we see?" Gu Yuan was very interested in these props.
"There are four pairs of such mechanical exoskeleton props. In addition, the space hull is larger in size and has many parts. It is being assembled, which will probably take three or four hours." Du Mingxuan said.
Chapter completed!
