"You are very ambitious... Nowadays, people are talking about being a star, not an actor. So, is there an actor you admire more? They have inspired you in your life."
Her head was filled with confusion, and she answered instinctively: "Fang Yi."
"Do you appreciate me?"
The answer is extremely dangerous and needs to be corrected!
"Yes, I think you acted quite well? Not bad!"
Reba lowered his head, his mouth was dry, and he wanted to find a crack in the car to get in.
What did I answer? Are you qualified to evaluate Fang Yi?
I will be banned!
She raised her head with a look of death, as if she was carrying a pack of explosives across the line of fire. She gritted her teeth and said, "Director Fang, I actually admire other people more. In my mind, you are a little worse than her!"
Fang Yi rarely saw such a single-minded newcomer, and he was overjoyed: "Who is it? I will also learn from that person."
"It's your opposite actor, Liu Yifei."
Fang Yi waited for a few seconds before answering: "It's new. This is the first time I've heard that someone appreciates her acting skills."
She said anxiously: "I really appreciate it! Director Fang, don't you think so?"
Fang Yi waved his hand: "Don't worry, I'm just stating an objective fact, not denying her. How could I deny her... So you are her fan?"
Reba seemed to be exhausted, "You don't just have to deny her, yes, I am actually... Liu Yifei's fan, that's what it is." He said pitifully.
Fang Yi became interested: "It's fate, I'm also a fan of Liu Yifei. Sister Zhen means that she has some press releases to hype you up, and she needs my cooperation, at least not to deny it, but her plans for artists are different from mine. If you are in the future
There is also this kind of conflict, do you insist on your own opinion, or do you listen to her?"
Reba closed her eyes and said helplessly: "I am not capable enough to follow the plan she planned."
Fang Yi understood that he wanted to stick to his point of view, so he nodded secretly.
Finally, he said: "I actually support Sister Zhen's work for her sake. But when I met you today, I found that it's okay... I can see that you are very nervous," Fang Yi tried to reach out and pat her on the shoulder, and then
He took it back and said, "Come on, maybe you will meet your idol in the future."
"Liu Yifei?"
"Yes, it's just that she has fewer opportunities to show up than I do. I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to meet your idol."
After that, Fang Yi opened the car door and let Reba out. Sister Zhen raised her chin to him, indicating how the interview went.
Fang Yi smiled back.
Sister Zhen jumped up and hugged Reba: "Reba, you will become famous soon, I know you are so good!"
When Sister Zhen sent Reba back to the Shanghai Opera campus, she got in the car and asked about the interview: "How was it? After you met Zhen Zhen, do you think she has potential?"
"I don't have a sharp eye. I can tell if there is potential in just one interview."
"Then how did you agree?"
"Fate. She is a fan of Liu Yifei. This is the first time I heard of her."
"Good guy, this is the first time I've heard of it too."
——————
In mid-March, Fang Yi returned to Beijing to film again and inspect the construction progress of the studio.
A full area of 5,000 square meters has been transformed into a South American jungle. There are earth slopes, traps, man-made streams, cliffs more than four meters high, and half a sunken ship model... except for those that are necessary for close-up views. Except for the real thing being shipped from South America, everything else is artificially made.
"For example, the vine that almost killed the eldest brother. Now we use a special rubber imitation that can pull up a car. The props team will check it every day... Even if the actor makes a mistake and falls, there will be paving under this vine. The full foam pad is enough to minimize the risk of injury.”
Guo Fan concluded to Fang Yi: "If you don't memorize it at all, nothing big will happen."
Fang Yi: "Which one is called a bit of back?"
"In the extreme case of falling headfirst and breaking the cervical vertebra? Or slipping and falling to the back of the head? Or choking to death on the air?"
Fang Yi understood. This situation was really embarrassing.
No amount of progress can be 100% safe.
In the 1960s and 1970s, monster movies became popular in the East and the West at the same time. This period was also an era of rapid development of props. For example, when shooting scenes of sharks biting tourists, the 1969 film "Shark" used the method of imprisoning real sharks in special In a net cage, the actors perform through a safety net.
This went smoothly for a while, until a shark bit through the safety net and attacked the actor.
In the 1970s, with the rapid development of the microelectronics industry, Hollywood thought in reverse and began to customize mechanical sharks and directly replace them with fake ones. This method was extremely long-lasting and was still used until Spielberg filmed "Jaws" (1975).
However, there was also a mechanical failure and the actor's arm was bitten repeatedly.
Spielberg had no choice but to find another way, using yellow pontoons floating on the blue sea to show the shark hunting scene, replacing real sharks with people's imagination about fear... Until the birth of green screen, the sharks currently shot in Hollywood It's often another special effects actor in green, or a stuffed animal. Everything is done using computer CG.
Chinese director Li An is currently filming the movie "Life of Pi" which uses this method. The tigers that appear next to the protagonist are replaced by dolls. Not only that, 90% of this movie is in a recording studio. After the filming is completed, all "Life of Fantasy" is a re-creation of special effects.
As a result, the production cost was as high as 120 million US dollars, which Fang Yi and others could not afford.
Then I looked at the developed cold explosion technology. This thing is not a patent, and it has been done by someone before. It is said to be research and development, but in fact it is an exhaustive and crazy experiment, and finally found a suitable dosage and container.
The most technical ones are container manufacturing and testing robots, which involve industrial capabilities. There are not many places in the world with manufacturing capabilities. Container manufacturing is assisted by the central enterprise Sinochem Group, while the testing robots come from the support of joint venture automobile factories. Improvements .
This robot was originally used to evaluate the driver's survival probability after a vehicle collision.
In front of a tempered glass wall, Fang Yi and Guo Fan were wearing explosion-proof suits, explosion-proof goggles... fully armed, waiting for the countdown.
In front of the glass wall is a robot full of sensors. The team will use the sensor data after the explosion to determine the damage if a real person was at the center of the explosion.
"three!"
"two!"
"one!"
"boom!"
This sound is completely close to the explosion sound in the film and television industry.
The two then crossed the tempered glass wall and found that the dummy 1.5 meters away from the explosion source appeared unscathed at first glance, but seeing may not be true.
Fang Yi is waiting for the engineer’s evaluation results.
"No harm."
The result is the same as usual.
Guo Fan explained: "We have done the experiment many times, and it is like this every time."
Fang Yi is more cautious. He doubts the effectiveness of this test robot. "Is it possible to suffer internal injuries? Is it possible to be poisoned by nitrogen?"
"No." Guo Fan answered quickly.
"Isn't that a bit arbitrary?"
"I did an experiment on myself and it was fine. One time I forgot to wear explosion-proof clothing and faced an explosion. It was really fine. I didn't even feel sick at all... To be honest, it wasn't as dangerous as your flying car scene.
Your chest is full of seatbelt marks and bruises."
Fang Yi: "Is there such a thing as forgetting to wear explosion-proof clothing? Did you do it on purpose or accidentally?"
"It was intentional and careless."
Fang Yi was so moved by Guo Fan that he said: "In April, the China Directors Association will elect new members to join the association. Someone in Lu Yang has already recommended him. I will recommend you."
"I have offended the old director. I have prepared myself that I will never be able to get in. If you reject me, just reject me."
