Chapter 604 Mentally retarded, little girl(1/2)
It's five o'clock in the morning and it's still dark.
The crew members went out from their rooms on each floor of the two hotels. Some of them put their coats on their bodies, and some of them hung their work tags around their necks.
Everyone hurriedly said hello to each other and hurried downstairs to the film and television base to prepare for the start-up. There was no time to go to the hotel restaurant for breakfast.
The actors such as Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei were able to take it easy and went to the hotel restaurant to have breakfast before going downstairs and getting in the car in twos and threes to go to the film and television studio.
Although the scenes between Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei were used as the opening scene and had nothing to do with the rest of the actors, it was still a good start for a blockbuster movie, and all the actors got up early to join in the fun.
It was bright and clear, but the bright lights in the studio prevented everyone from feeling the changes in the outside world.
In the shed, staff from each department were making preparations, setting up machines and adjusting lights.
"You guys go get ready too." Tang Jili came back from the on-set guidance and asked Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei to make preparations before filming.
"Come on." The actors cheered to the young couple.
Chu Xuan nodded slightly, Liu Yifei waved her fist, and the young couple went to the dressing room with the team to prepare for makeup.
Tang Jili sat down in front of the monitor. In front of him was a monitor wall composed of six screens. Each monitor screen corresponded to a camera, that is, one screen corresponded to one lens image.
A director's ability is high or low, which is reflected to a certain extent in the number of monitors.
The greater the number of monitors, the more lenses there are.
The more shots there are, the more complicated it is for the director to consider the conceptual aspects of camera movements.
The more complicated the camerawork is, the better it can be shot, which naturally means that the director has a high level of directing.
"This is so convenient." An Zhijie watched the staff debugging the monitors and found that each monitor could move freely. He was curious and praised.
In China, monitors are generally fixed and will not move if placed in a certain position by the crew.
The director can only sit in front of the monitor, accept the picture from the camera signal on the set, and use the walkie-talkie to provide remote guidance.
But the six monitor walls in front of you are different. It is composed of six movable bases with pulleys.
This means that once there is a problem with a shot on the set, Tang Jili can move the corresponding monitor to the set, watch the actors filming immersively, and at the same time provide on-site guidance to the shot at close range.
This is very convenient and also increases the director's ability to control the entire scene.
"Domestic surveillance cameras will also be like this in the future." Tang Jili said.
This kind of monitor equipment is matched with the camera. Because it is matched with the camera, if the monitor is moved, the signal transmission will not be disrupted when the monitor is moved, causing problems with the picture.
Domestic monitors and cameras are separated and are separate entities. If the monitor is moved during the shooting process, the signal transmission will fluctuate, which is why domestic monitors cannot be moved.
The equipment in front of me is currently Haolaiwu's top shooting equipment, and it is very expensive. Any set including imported equipment can easily cost hundreds of thousands of dollars.
It is impossible for the crew to only have one set for filming, so domestic companies are not currently considering this thing.
But when he thinks about it, when Haolaiwu releases new equipment and the price of this equipment drops, domestic film and television companies will purchase these devices sooner or later. This is what he can expect.
"Director Tang, it's OK." The staff adjusted the six monitors.
Tang Jili picked up the walkie-talkie: "Turn it on."
Following his instructions, six handheld videographers turned on their cameras.
In front of everyone, the six screens that were originally in standby mode showed real-time footage from the studio one by one.
Under the focus man's correction, the six cameramen adjusted parameters such as the initial focal length according to the shot script.
Tang Jili and photography director Lu Yang checked whether the code stream, resolution, signal flow and other data of the six screens were normal and stable.
Seeing that everything was normal, Tang Jili called into the intercom: "Director Chen, arrange for the extras to enter, and wait for Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei to take their seats."
Outside the set, more than a dozen extras were dressed as college students. Except for two local special actors from Hong Kong, the rest were extras found in Chinatown.
Although they are just temporary workers, some Chinese working in Los Angeles' Chinatown have participated in the filming of many Hollywood blockbusters.
Although they are all just part-timers, each of them is experienced.
Under the command of Chen Musheng, the extras entered the stage and took their places.
"Chu Xuan, Yi Fei." Chen Musheng saw Chu Xuan and Liu Yi Fei walking over and guided them into the initial position of the camera.
Seeing the two of them getting ready, Tang Jili picked up the walkie-talkie and said, "Let's start, let's hit the board."
The background of this scene is a university, to be precise, the corridor of the university teaching building.
There were very few scenes in the school. There were only a few scenes, so he didn't consider finding a university to film the scenes. The communication and arrangements involved were very troublesome.
Anyway, there weren't many scenes, and there were very few requirements for scenery, so we simply set up the scenery in the studio and filmed it.
The first shot is a good start. This first shot is very simple.
In panoramic shot No. 1, Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei appeared around the corner, and their frontal images were in the frame at the same time.
Tang Jili immediately said: "Get ready for the next one."
Less than five seconds later, the scene of the red door opening came to an end.
There was a burst of applause at the scene. Although the scene was not difficult at all, it was a good start. It was an opening ceremony for the crew to officially start filming, and it was worthy of applause.
"Get ready and get ready for five minutes." Chen Musheng said before leaving the set and heading to the logistics department, where staff from various departments also went.
We didn't even eat breakfast, so we took advantage of this gap to eat some steamed buns to fill our stomachs.
Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei stayed where they were, silently trying to figure out their emotional state.
The opening shot is simple, but the rest of the scene is shot to the end.
For them, even though they have had perfect tacit understanding as partners for many years, they still have to deal with it with great vigor.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Tang Jili looked at the camera and gave them time to find their state. He gnawed on a bun and lowered his head to read the script.
Struck by a similar two-way foil energy, the earth is divided into two parts, one part is in the normal universe and the other part is in the closed space.
The earth in a closed space is the normal human technological civilization where the male and female protagonists Wei Ran and Lin Yi live.
The earth in the universe is a cruel world where the male protagonist Chengxiong lives and fights alien civilizations.
From a scientific point of view, one is the world inside the horizon, and the other is the world outside the horizon.
The impact energy of the two-way foil that cuts the earth into two halves forms a blurry film at the cut, which is a cross-section of the solar system.
This cross-section is called the horizon critical plane, and in the world view of the story, people call it the canopy.
Taking the normal human civilization where Wei Ran and Lin Yi live as the main perspective, as hundreds of years pass, it is discovered that the sky is moving.
Every time it moves, the area of the earth within the enclosed space will expand.
Correspondingly, the area of the earth in the universe will shrink.
In fact, from a scientific point of view, it is not that the sky is moving, but that the energy of the two-way foil strike is controlled by alien civilization.
Every time an alien civilization injects a little more two-way foil energy into the earth, the mass of the earth will increase, and the gravity proportional to the mass will increase.
The increase in gravity makes the earth transcend the universe and is slowly pulled into the endless closed space.
This is the reason why the earth in closed space becomes larger and the earth in normal universe becomes smaller.
But to humans, it looks like the sky is moving.
Every time the sky moves, the area of the earth where normal human civilization is located expands, and various countries compete for territory.
However, in addition to the territory, some humans will appear inexplicably.
At first, various countries accepted these humans.
However, as time goes by, the human beings appearing in the expanding sky are becoming more and more strange.
This is because, under the dominance and influence of alien civilizations, humans on Earth in the universe have gradually undergone mutations. Many people have become nondescript and strange shapes, while those who have retained their human form have various strange powers and are extremely destructive.
Such creatures are called "aliens" by normal humans.
This has attracted great attention from various countries and strengthened the level of military defense on Tianmu's border areas.
For aliens, either capture and study them, or eradicate them directly. There is no third option.
By the 21st century, normal human beings have become accustomed to such a world environment.
But the sky is still moving, the earth's area is still increasing, and the "strangers" that appear are becoming more and more powerful.
In order to increase human safety, it is crucial to improve personal fitness.
In this way, taking the "Ming Dynasty" as an example, major sports schools and major military schools came into being. The former focused on martial arts, physical skills and other majors that can enhance physical fitness, while the latter focused on military training.
The school has monthly assessments, and the content of the assessment is to go to the Tianmu border to guard for a week.
Most people are very lucky, because the sky moves at irregular times, and only moves once for a long, long time, making it impossible to predict.
As long as the canopy doesn't move, it will be very safe.
Once the sky moves, it heralds war and killing.
Against this background, the story begins before the hero and heroine go to the border of the sky to participate in the guard assessment.
"Start, hit the board!"
The staff of each department quickly finished their breakfast, and then took their respective positions and issued instructions in Hou Tang Ji Li.
After the scene notes were recorded, filming began.
In the corridor of the teaching building, students were walking back and forth.
Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei walked side by side from the end of the corridor towards the interior of the corridor.
Chu Xuan had short hair, his left hand in his trouser pocket, looking left and right, looking carefree.
Liu Yifei wears a long braid, which hangs down her back simply and neatly. She looks very heroic and capable.
There is only one shot in the end. The No. 1 crane camera is in front of them. When they take a step forward, the camera moves back.
The radio teacher holds a long pole radio, hangs it above their heads, and follows their movements.
"The news came yesterday that one of the people taking the assessment in Lincheng this month died mysteriously. The reason is unknown."
"I heard that, according to my preliminary judgment, the deceased was alive, either male or female, under 100 years old, between one meter and two meters tall, either a native or a foreigner, and the deceased could not be found.
The reason is that the deceased has not yet opened his mouth and the investigators still need to work harder."
