King of Special Effects

Tian Li's little accountant didn't come along. From the beginning of filming, all expenses of the crew were recorded by the newly hired clerks.

The clerk team consisted of three people, two women and one man, and two of them were interns who hadn't graduated from senior year.

They are responsible for recording all the accounts that the crew needs to purchase and spend. After Yi Yang signs and approves, the money will be allocated from the crew's pre-saved account. Although it is a bit complicated, the 50 million investment is not a small amount after all. In terms of money Or do it more carefully.

The daily expenses of the crew, the fuel cost of the vehicle, the salary of the group performers, and the rent when renting things are all recorded in a small half of the textbook preparation, and then recorded in electronic files, printed out, and sent to Yi Yang for confirmation Already thick small stack.

Nimma, for this thing, the signature has to be signed by a crazy person.

It is impossible for Yi Yang to remember every account. He only confirms the accounts with an expense of more than 2,000. As for some messy things, he confirms them every three days.

Thirty horses, 600 each, 18,000 a day. This is two months' wages when I went to work, just like Nima's dream.

For more than half a year, it was really like a dream. I made a movie in a daze, and even made a Best New Director Award.

But now, I am directing the operation of this huge crew, and I am busy with these messy things in and out of the play every day.

In the morning, I didn't shoot a single shot, it was all used for preparation.

Yi Yang called the deputy director A Ming, the heads of the props team, the production team and other departments to have a small meeting with them.

The things here are almost ready now. There are a lot of filming locations around here, and the more the more the more chaotic, we have to complete all the scenes here within this month, or the temperature will drop and it will snow heavily. At that time Filming is a real torture.

Amin nodded and said, It's really slow like today.

So, let me discuss with you, divide the people in these departments into two groups, we will shoot here, and the others will go to the next location to make some preparations before shooting, such as the road on the scene, and There are machine tracks and such.

Brother Ming, leave this to me and Master. Is there any problem if you take these brothers with you?

Upon hearing this, A Ming shook his head and said, Of course there is no problem.

Then do this, divide into two groups and make some preparations in advance, so the progress will be faster.

Just do what you say, and after lunch, half of the crew will be assigned.

Yi Yang and Jiang Zhihe started filming here.

Attention all departments. We have a very tight schedule today. Try not to make mistakes where you should not make mistakes. Let's try to pass simple scenes.

The three camera positions have been adjusted, and the monitors are placed in a temporary tent, and Jiang Zhihe is sitting inside watching the transmitted images.

A few seconds later, he picked up the walkie-talkie and said, Camera No. 3 is on camera, move back one meter.

Yes, don't move the other seats, assistant director, organize group performances and get in position immediately, pay attention to safety.

These group performers were recruited temporarily, not professional group performers, and most of them had never seen acting.

But today their play is relatively simple, and the one that is a bit more difficult is riding a horse.

For safety, these horses will be led by someone when they are marching.

Tan Xincheng gathered the actors together, and Yi Yang began to talk to them about the play.

It's Yi Yang who is a waste of saliva to tell a play, after all, only he knows how they should act.

These ensemble performers are all young people, and it is not difficult to speak at all, and they can be understood quickly.

...Finally, I want to emphasize one more point. This time we are acting as soldiers of the Han army. This is a very tough army. When marching, don't look around out of curiosity, especially when you are facing the camera. When you should be on camera I will definitely let you appear on the scene, don't add scenes to yourself.

Also, the clothes on the body, helmets, armors, etc., are all tidied up, and they can't be crooked. We are on the way to fight, not the kind of people who lose the battle and throw away the armor.

That's all, does everyone understand?

Everyone replied in unison: Understood!

It's good to understand, Yi Yang turned back to Tan Xincheng and said, Lao Tan, you change your clothes too.

I'm coming too?

Come on, it might be more natural for them to follow you, come on!

okay!

Half an hour later, all departments were ready and shooting began!

Today's wind affects the shooting effect, but there is no other way.

After arranging everything, Yi Yang went back to the tent and looked at the content on the monitor.

Let's get started. Jiang Zhihe said while holding the walkie-talkie.

Attention all departments, prepare to shoot, all irrelevant personnel leave, and the scene maintains the order of the scene.

For the first time in a marching scene, fight!

The scoreboard in front of the camera was played, and all the personnel began to act.

Jiang Xin and the other actors who participated in this scene have all been trained in riding skills. This horse riding is really a piece of cake for them. Yi Yang and the others arranged them in several more conspicuous positions. Something like that.

Ten seconds after turning on the machine, Yi Yang and Jiang Zhihe shouted to stop at the same time.

The horse team, the horse team stopped and returned to their original positions.

Camera group, don't turn off the three cameras, turn on the camera and transmit the picture.

Jiang Zhihe replayed the more than ten seconds of the shot just now, then paused at a certain paragraph, and said, The wind has a big impact today.

Because the sand and dust were blown up by the wind, it took only a dozen seconds to shoot and the lens was covered with dust, making it look hazy.

Yi Yang picked up the walkie-talkie: Retract the camera number two and wipe the lens clean.

Aircraft No. 1 is moving forward and arranged with the wind.

Remove one camera position, change the layout position of another camera position, and do another one to see the effect.

Jiang Zhihe nodded very satisfied: That's fine.

Today's scene needs wind, but it is extremely difficult to shoot in a windy environment, and it is a bit embarrassing. It took nearly an hour to pass this marching shot.

Master, use a drone to add an aerial bird's-eye view, and the post-production special effects can be used.

The special effects team and special effects technology used by Yi Yang has always been a mystery to Jiang Zhihe, so from the very beginning of this drama, he never cared about the issue of special effects.

Now that Yi Yang said so, then this scene really needs to be shot.

Jiang Zhihe nodded in agreement, picked up the walkie-talkie and said, The horse team advances for 100 meters, and the security personnel follow to prevent the horses from being frightened and endangered. Other unrelated personnel should not follow. The camera team is preparing to take aerial shots with drones.

Jiang Xin stayed on horseback for more than an hour, and when he heard the director's words, he led the horse team forward for more than 100 meters.

With a little preparation, the drone flies into the air.

Today's wind is a bit strong, this drone is difficult to operate, and it looks wobbly and very unstable from the camera.

It took half a day for the operator of the photography team to stabilize the tambourine, and it took more than half an hour to get this shot right.

Looking at the time, it was almost three o'clock in the afternoon.

Yi Yang didn't know whether to laugh or cry: Haha, I only filmed one in a day. It seems that I want to finish filming the trick here today, which is too ideal for me.
