fantasy blockbuster era

Chapter 101 Behind the scenes video
Mount Tai.

Yuhuangding.

At this time, the top of the Yuhuangding on Mount Tai has been completely emptied, and there are no tourists.

Hundreds of crew members of the movie "Shading the Sky" will gather here to prepare for filming.

Mount Tai is a very famous scenic spot in China, but after communicating with the local government and tourism bureau, Zhang Yang spent a huge sum of money to temporarily charter the place for three days for filming.

The early content of "Shading the Sky" is Ye Fan's classmate reunion, then climbed Mount Tai, and was taken into the ancient starry sky road by Kowloon coffin.

This part is also the only place where the movie "Shading the Sky" requires real-time shooting. The content is not long, and three days is enough.

The rest of the content needs to build a special studio and produce it through special effects.

In fact, many film and television cities in China have some related ancient scenes, which can be used in certain plots.

But these scenes are all the same, and they rarely appear in the movie, so Zhang Yang simply decided to use special effects to produce all the content except for the part of Mount Tai.

Of course, the style will be very different.

There will be more new architectural styles combined with real scenes.

It doesn't matter whether it is reasonable or not, as long as it is good-looking, atmospheric, and fantasy enough.

At this time, the top of Yuhuangding has been covered with various shooting equipment, lights, tracks, lenses, actors, and staff are all gathered together.

"All departments are ready."

"The first scene of "Shading the Sky", the first shot."

"Start shooting."

With an order, the record is played.

Zhang Yang hid behind the monitor and watched the content on the screen.

This scene was filmed when Ye Fan and others were on the top of the Jade Emperor, and they were horrified and shocked when they saw the Kowloon pulling the coffin falling from the sky.

If it is a new actor, it may be a bit difficult.

Because of the need for non-physical performances, many new actors will react too exaggeratedly, resulting in a sense of fragmentation to the audience after the special effects are made on the screen, making it impossible for the audience to enter.

However, Hu Qu and the others are all veteran actors who have filmed many scenes, and they have no pressure on this kind of performance.

On the monitor screen, more than a dozen actors seem to have seen something terrifying flying down from the sky.

Everyone's eyes were frightened and their movements were panicked.

"What is this?"

"dragon!"

"It is the ancient dragon of our Dragon Kingdom, the legendary dragon in history."

"What is behind the nine dragons?"

"Is that a coffin? A coffin made of bronze."

……

More than a dozen actors filmed this section vividly, as if the magical scene of Kowloon pulling the coffin really appeared in front of them.

The extras who played tourists did not steal the scene either.

The entire content, one pass.

Looking at the picture captured on the monitor, Zhang Yang nodded secretly.

[Sure enough, these people's acting skills are very good, enough to handle this kind of performance. 】

Originally, he decided that if any actor couldn't cope, he would buy props from the system.

But now this situation seems completely unnecessary.

They are more than enough to handle.

After filming a segment, Zhang Yang stopped filming.

"Okay, everyone has worked hard, let's take a rest."

"The makeup team touches up the makeup of the actors and prepares for the next scene in 10 minutes."

"Clear the site and prepare other personnel."

The actors immediately dispersed.

The staff of the make-up team swarmed up to re-make up the actors who needed makeup.

After 10 minutes, without any delay, the next game started immediately.

……

……

During the whole day of filming, although the actors were very dedicated and had strong professional skills.

But with the passage of time, no matter whether it is physical or mental exhaustion, during the follow-up shooting process, there were still several times of NG.

Zhang Yang also expressed his understanding.

NG is indispensable for any film shooting, which is unavoidable.

To have the opportunity to participate in a big movie with an investment of 30 billion, of course every actor will try his best to make as few mistakes as possible, but manpower is sometimes exhausted, and there is nothing to do.

After the day's shooting ended.

The crew came to the hotel that had already been booked to eat, rest and recuperate.

During the break at night, "Shading the Sky" is not like other crews. There will be actors who take advantage of the break to go out to drink and have fun, or actresses with ulterior motives come to the director's room and use various names Things like unspoken rules appear.

This kind of situation is absolutely not allowed to happen.

Long before the shoot, he established the rules.

If someone has affected the subsequent shooting because of such things, or if there is any news that is not good for the movie.

So not only the actor himself needs to pay a huge liquidated damages, but the company behind him also needs to pay another fee.

These contents are all written into the contract, if there are any unacceptable actors or companies, just don't.

If you want to join the group, you must follow the rules.

No matter how big a celebrity he is, once it affects the movie, he will never show any sympathy.

Inside the hotel room.

Zhang Yang called the assistant director.

"How did you do what you were asked to do?"

"It's done. After sending the video back to the company, it can be uploaded online after simple editing."

"That's good. This is related to the promotion of the movie, and it must not be underestimated."

"Don't worry, Director Zhang." The assistant director said with a very serious expression, "Before coming here, the company told me that everything will follow your orders, and I promise that there will be no mistakes."

"I have already checked the content of the filming, and there will be no bad pictures for the film to spread."

"Ah."

Zhang Yang nodded.

What the two said was actually very simple.

That is, a professional photographer will record some interesting things that happened during the whole day's shooting or some scenes about actors' laughter and mistakes during the shooting.

Then it was sent back to the company and uploaded online after editing.

Finally, invest money in publicity.

Let more audiences see these edited shooting stories.

Constantly deepening the impression of the movie in the minds of the audience is also one of his promotional strategies.

Many domestic film and television crews don't take this kind of thing as particularly important.

I think this is just a small tidbit during the shooting, and it will not have much impact on the playback data of the work.

In fact, this is a very wrong idea.

Many actor fans and audiences who are concerned about the film are actually very interested in the tidbits produced during the filming process.

Seeing these tidbits, there will be a feeling that they themselves have participated in the filming of the film.

As long as it spreads widely and invests enough funds, it can attract a lot of traffic for "Shading the Sky".

as predicted.

In the evening, along with the behind-the-scenes video produced during the related shooting process, it began to circulate on the Internet.

Many netizens left messages below the video.

"Old Hu is so cute."

"Hahahahaha."

"I'm looking forward to this movie more and more."

"The actresses are all so beautiful."

"The acting skills of Li Ang and Fan Leizhou have improved a lot, I love them so much."

……

……

With the support of a sum of publicity funds, these sideshow videos have been widely circulated on the Internet, attracting a lot of attention for the film.

Sangua never thought that this kind of thing would happen again. After the video went viral, they discovered that Zhang Yang had come up with a new trick.

By the time it was discovered, it was already too late.

I could only realize it later, and uploaded tidbits to the Internet in the subsequent filming, competing with "Shading the Sky" for popularity.

Too bad before they do.

These videos have already attracted a large number of viewers to Zhetian, giving them a first-mover advantage in publicity.
