Chapter 65 Preliminary Preparations
(I wrote the wrong month in the previous chapter... modified)
Young Master Han is still very good at choosing actresses. Zhao Liying is very close to the beauties in the market. She is very beautiful and close to life and is very real. The beauty of the lotus is just right!
I really can't imagine what she would do to act like when Actress Yang plays this role!
Zhao Liying was very strange. Although she had a bad answer, the director just smiled simply and asked her to play this role.
Maybe it’s because I want to sell Huang Bin’s face?
In short, Bai Xiaofei seemed to be very interested in her...
"On the tenth day of next month, we will start the filming for about 40 days. Are there any problems?"
"no problem."
Huang Bin agreed before she spoke.
Next is talking about the pay and benefits...
This kind of thing is most suitable for Gu Nianxi to take action, she is the producer!
By the way, Gu Nianxi's secretary has been fired - readers said she is mentally retarded and should not live so many chapters...
...
After a week of rest, Xiaobai devoted himself to the preliminary preparations for "Riding the Wind and Waves".
The first thing is to find a special effects company. That car collision scene must be simulated using CG!
Shooting a collision between a train and a racing car involves a combination of real shots and three-dimensionality. Xiaobai wants to use a real car to collide this scene, and the cost is very high - this scene alone costs about 2 million...
This time, there is only one chance to hit the filming, and it was already planned when the project was proposed!
Film industrialization emphasizes procedures, and it is impossible to cut corners. If possible, Xiaobai also wants to use a mini camera to shoot a toy collision, which is too fake...
So, although the filming is only two months and the latter part is two months, most of the later part are actually pre-set, and "Riding the Wind and Waves" is not a variety show movie...
This time I was looking for Tiangong Qicai, which is the special effects team of "Looking for Dragons". After listening to Bai Xiaofei's idea, they gave a plan
The first one is to overturn Xiaobai's expectations. They directly used CG to simulate, but it took almost half a year, and Xiaobai directly refused!
There is not enough time, and there is also this shot. He wants to use aerial photography and slow motion to display it, so he must take real shots!
The second solution is that they have to spend half a month designing the action and then assisting with CG. The whole process takes two to three months - the amount is not very large, but it will be more difficult to design and execute.
Xiaobai chose the second plan...
There is also this time when Xiaobai is planning to use a lot of aerial photography because there are many high-altitude shots!
In fact, in traditional shooting, if the crew wants to take some higher camera display environments, they usually choose to use a rocker arm.
The rocker is a large mobile shooting device that is up to seven meters long, mainly used to shoot panoramic lenses...
However, there are some irreconcilable contradictions in the use of rocker arms: if the rocker arms are set up in advance, it is easy to get missed when shooting other scenes; if the set of lenses is installed before shooting, it is necessary to temporarily transport all the heavy accessories to a high altitude, which will take a very long time.
Just use a drone to take aerial photography!
All of these have invisibly increased the shooting cost...
Fortunately, the actor's pay is not high - except for Deng Chao, his pay is 12 million!
There is no way, it's worth the price!
Fortunately, other actors are not so valuable, especially Wei Xiang, who plays Luo Li, who is rewarded less than 300,000 yuan...
...
The preparation stage of the movie is a meticulous and strategic process, and empty talk cannot solve any problems!
As a director, Xiaobai needs to consider everything and improve it as much as possible before filming begins.
Before the official start-up, every prop, every shot, and every person must consider it carefully, otherwise problems will easily occur during shooting.
According to the U-shaped structure, the crew's preliminary preparations have already begun during the filming of "Wulin Waizai".
"Riding the Wind and Waves" will be released on the first day of the Lunar New Year. Xiaobai plans to complete all productions in four months, and the preparation period is undoubtedly greatly reduced.
Fortunately, he was very experienced in using it and followed his two crew members!
The deputy director is Huang Liang…
This omits the running-in time.
Many big directors have their own team or team that they use. They understand each other's habits during shooting, and save time from familiarity with each other. After all, people are not machines. The cooperation of various departments takes time to grind out. The main purpose of choosing a familiar team is to this!
According to the script requirements of "Riding the Wind and Waves", all the stories take place in Tinglin Town...
And it was Tinglin Town eighteen years ago.
Where can I find a town with rich times?
Thanks to the imbalance in China's development in recent years!
There are a bunch of nostalgic towns around the bustling Shanghai: Zhangyan Old Town, Zhuxing Town, Fengjing Ancient Town…
The main filming location is Fengjing Ancient Town.
"Three steps, one bridge, one look at ten alleys"
After reading the pictures sent by several outdoor inspection staff, Xiaobai immediately ordered Fengjing Ancient Town.
A small town in Jiangnan in the absolute sense!
Chen Laoba originally wanted to build a "Tinglin Town" in the film and television base, but was rejected by Bai Xiaofei. It was a very important reason. There was too little time. There was another point that he really didn't want to owe Chen Laoba anymore...
...
Xihong City is not short of water, but there is no need for a ferry.
When they arrived at Fengjing Ancient Town, the first thing Xiaobai and the others did was to take the ferry!
OK, let's call this thing a ferry.
It's just a piece of iron with several rubber circles hanging on both sides, shaking up and down and keeping moving forward, always worried that it will sink at any time.
This feeling is not like riding a boat, but driving a tractor on off-road.
The water town in Jiangnan is full of water roads. Looking at the green bricks and green tiles built along the water road, Xiaobai was in a very happy mood.
I feel very urged to recite a poem!
Unfortunately, there are not many goods in my stomach...
No wonder Jiangnan is so talented that he cannot recite such a sentence as "There are three autumn osmanthus and ten miles of lotus flowers" in such an environment!
Unfortunately, the water quality is not good, it is simply a garbage dump, with domestic garbage everywhere...
Xiaobai even saw the dead dog floating on the water...
No wonder Fengjing Ancient Town is known as the four famous towns in Jiangnan, but there are so few tourists visiting!
"When will we have a meal?"
Zhang Shan, who was sitting opposite Xiaobai, took back his cell phone for taking the photo and asked.
“…Wait until the actors arrive!”
Xiaobai thought for a while and replied.
"By the way, I heard you asked Da Tiantian to play a guest appearance?"
"...Yes, she has nothing to do anyway, so let her come over and make a guest appearance!"
Xiaobai is preparing to let Da Tiantian play Jiayi, who is the singer in the love dance hall and the dream lover of June 1st!
Why look for her?
Of course she asked for it herself.
Although Da Tiantian has the title of bad movie queen, she is so beautiful and doesn’t have to pay for her!
The most important thing is the next sentence...
"Who said she was okay? People are busy promoting the Great Wall!"
Chapter completed!
