As soon as the filming started, all the machines were aimed at this abandoned railway track.
It is normal for weeds to regenerate in the open space, because few people come to this place itself. Even the track cleanup personnel are only responsible for the management of the interior and surrounding railway tracks, and the open space next to them has nothing to do with them.
However, these weeds bring a certain sense of desolation to the picture, further enhancing the desolation of the doomsday.
Three drones have locked onto this huge open space from all directions. In the next second, black heads rushed out from all places. In the train carriages, abandoned buildings, and in various corners, more and more people appeared.
There are many people, no, they should be zombies.
They rushed out from all over the place. They were running very fast, as if they had a goal, and they were running forward.
It took twenty seconds to shoot this scene, and the zombies also ran for twenty seconds.
Then the drone began to descend and began to zoom in. The photographers carrying action cameras saw this and quickly merged into the large army. The lenses in their hands were focused on several close-up zombies. The expressions of these close-up zombies were even more terrifying.
, running faster, as if they were not acting, but participating in a 100-meter race, with their mouths wide open, only the whites of their eyes, and even the gaps between their sharp teeth were bloodshot.
They were waving to the side, but their arms were not swinging like ordinary people running, but were twisted on both sides of the body, but the speed was not slow.
These are the special actors that Chu Han specially hired. Their speed is far beyond what ordinary actors can match.
The photographer was a little excited to keep up with these special actors, and aimed a close-up at them, almost turning the camera on them.
This process is very smooth, all photographers think so, because from a local perspective, everything around them is really smooth, so smooth that it seems possible to do it again and again.
Until the photographers heard the jam in their headphones, they stopped.
Because the extras were informed from the very beginning that whether they would run or not would depend on whether the photographer who joined in the middle would run or not.
When the photographers stopped, the surrounding extras would stop, and then the whole group would stop.
The photographers were confused and didn't understand why the director called a call. The partial shooting was obviously going smoothly, but as photographers, they could only wait for the next instruction.
At this moment, Chu Han and Ren Zhong, who were in front of the monitoring station, were struggling with a certain picture on the monitor. This picture was a wide-angle lens, which required something grand and shocking.
However, Chu Han found that someone fell down in the lower left corner. You must know that this is a scene of 5,000 people. No one would notice this kind of detail unless you look for it, but Chu Han noticed it.
Either the director was extremely capable, or Chu Han was lucky enough to focus on that spot.
After seeing this scene, Chu Han stopped filming without thinking.
In a serious and tense grand scene, if an actor suddenly falls, what kind of experience will it bring to the audience?
What was originally a serious scene would suddenly turn funny. This was something Chu Han didn't want to see, nor did he want to see.
Ren Zhong didn't notice this scene at first, and didn't understand Chu Han's behavior of shouting cards, but when he saw this scene, he had to admire Chu Han's sharp eyesight.
The purpose of the two of them in shooting this movie is that once they find something is wrong, they will call it quits. When the scene looks right, when will they continue.
"No. 67, an actor next to you has fallen. Go and see if he is okay." Chu Han said into the intercom.
For a venue with such a large number of people, falling is not a simple thing, but a very scary thing, because stampede accidents can easily occur.
When one person steps on you, you may feel nothing, but what about ten, a hundred, or a thousand?
This is also the most important reason why Chu Han called a halt.
After several minutes of communication, a message came over the intercom that nothing happened.
"Okay, everyone returns to their seats, rest for ten minutes, and we'll do another one in ten minutes."
These people are not professional athletes. They must devote a lot of energy and physical strength to take one shot of this kind of picture. Without rest to make up for it, tough continuous shooting may lead to a decline in picture quality.
Chu Han had already considered shooting for a day, but he couldn't do it more than once a day.
The first card may need a ten-minute break, the second one may need a twenty-minute break, and the third one may need a thirty-minute break.
Every time I get stuck, I have to rest for thirty minutes to ensure the energy of the actors. But when I sprint too hard and can’t rest for thirty minutes, today’s filming is over.
...
Zhang Daxuan wiped the sweat from his forehead and ran with the actor just once, and he was already covered in sweat. Sprinting with all his strength was really not a joke.
He followed his special actor, drank some water, and rested with him.
The special actor also took a sip of water and said to Zhang Daxuan: "Aren't you going to your specific location?"
"Wait a minute, ten minutes. By the way, how much do you special actors cost per day?" Zhang Daxuan asked curiously.
"It's quite high, around two to three thousand a day, but here it's even higher, five thousand a day." The special actor said with a happy smile.
Specialty actors belong to a relatively small group in the huge group performance market. The total market that can be recorded is only tens of thousands of people, which is almost the same as the number of stars.
These people generally have special skills that fit certain specific roles in the movie, so their pay is particularly high among group actors.
But this does not mean that they film every day. For many special actors, after finishing two days of work on the Dawn crew, it is actually difficult to film another scene this month.
That's why I'm so happy to have this special actor in front of me.
At the same time, he is also a low-key person, because he is a feature in this movie, and his daily salary has reached 8,000.
"Every department is getting ready, photographers please go to your location." Chu Han's voice came from the earphones.
Hearing this voice, Zhang Daxuan was stunned for a moment, and then realized that ten minutes had already arrived.
So, Zhang Daxuan hurriedly ran to his location. Before he could take a breath, the second scene started shooting.
Looking at the thousands of people rushing over, Zhang Daxuan felt a little nervous. He stared at his close-up, and the moment he saw the other person, he followed him.
But the moment he caught up, he felt the difference in physical strength and couldn't run anymore.
Obviously, the actor also felt that Zhang Daxuan seemed to be struggling, so he also lowered his speed and slowed down to cooperate with Zhang Daxuan.
The moment he saw his close-up slowed down, Zhang Daxuan knew something was going to be bad.
Sure enough, the next second, Chu Han's slightly irritable voice came from the headphones.
