King of Special Effects

The sun at ten o'clock in the morning shone across the valley, making it extraordinarily warm.

The wooden boats and rubber boats on the water pool were all fixed on the water surface with wooden stakes. The leading actors and extras were crowded on it, the wooden paddles on both sides were constantly moving, and the machine gun was on the bow, ready to shoot at any time.

In fact, the crossing of the river in the real battle was not a big loss because of the US military's crossing equipment, the all-weather bombing of the Japanese defense positions by the air force and artillery, and the choice of time when there was thick fog to cross the river. The loss is the sinking of a ship because it ran aground.

In this movie, Yi Yang also added the plot of the plane bombing, but this scene can only be produced with post-production special effects.

The prop group ran around the pool with a snuff bottle to create the effect of smoke. Of course, this effect is too poor and requires post-production processing.

As for the final effect, it depends on how well Yi Yang's special effects are produced.

Su Yanxin has seen Yi Yang's Bosom friend's work, and he still has no way to understand the special effects in it, and he didn't tell Yi Yang how the special effects were produced, so that now, for them, the film's How it will be produced in post is still a mystery.

Of course, now Yiyang already has a PC version of the 'Book of Changes', which can fully present the process of making it to others, and this software is only owned by himself, and he can use it alone, so there is no need to hide anything.

However, if the news that this software is easy to produce special effects spreads, it is estimated that the domestic special effects market will run straight.

And if Yi Yang deliberately wants to occupy the special effects market and make domestic special effects cheap, then a large number of special effects teams will lose their jobs.

Of course Yi Yang would not do this kind of thing, this software can only serve himself from now on.

"The first camera, the first camera is in place, the second camera is turned on, and it is ready to be adjusted before shooting. The actors should not move around, and be careful not to fall into the water."

"Department of Security, please confirm the stability of the camera's track again. Unrelated personnel evacuate from the shore to leave an open space for shooting. The props team should hurry up and arrange the scene on the shore. Everyone try not to run around and make no noise. Of a snake."

When Su Yanxin said this, many people really didn't dare to run around, and sat obediently in one place and played with their mobile phones.

Yi Yang is sitting on a small boat at the moment, holding a carbine prop gun in his hand.

"First time in one scene in eight scenes!" The recording board was pressed down: "Start!"

Actors start acting, machines start working.

First, take a close-up shot of the front, for example, the soldiers at the bow of the ship are holding guns, their eyes fixed on the opposite bank, ready to shoot at any time.

It was easy to shoot without any scenes of war.

Yi Yang's acting skills were already online, so he lowered his head as much as possible on the boat, only showing his head.

The vanguard played by Jiang Xin is at the front with An Ming, and machine gunner Lin Cong is on another boat.

This was a tough battle, and Yi Yang didn't know how it was fought at that time, so he could only follow what he thought.

There is a mortar squad, and after landing, they will be close-ups, including guns, and then aiming at the targets reported by the observers in front, etc.

After shooting the shot of the water surface, the next step is the scene of going up to the shore and starting to attack.

At this point, the shot of crossing the river has been filmed, and the rest only needs to connect the scenes shot before.

Three hours passed, and because Yi Anqi's boxed lunch couldn't be delivered here, it was already past one o'clock when the crew waited for dinner.

After the scene of crossing the river is finished, all the scenes about the war are considered to be filmed, and the rest are some scenes before the battle, such as being hospitalized in the hospital, and the protagonists are resting and training in the rear.

These are much simpler, but still require some setting up of the scene.

For example, temporary headquarters, residential buildings and so on.

It has been nearly twenty days since the filming started.

This progress is not much different from what I imagined to finish filming this movie in a month, but there is not much left of the five million funds.

Every time Yi Yang shoots a scene, he has to carefully calculate how much it will cost.

Try not to spend money if you can. If you can finish filming this movie with 5 million yuan, it will be the biggest challenge for Yi Yang.

After returning home from work, Yi Yang first looked at Tian Li's account statement.

Although she is only a junior accountant, she still does a very good job of counting the accounts. Every amount of money is accurate to two decimal places.

"Excluding the salaries of the extras, leading actors, and all the staff of the crew, there is only less than 700,000 yuan left in the account. I don't know how long it will take to finish filming, but according to the previous amount of money paid, this Maybe 700,000 is not enough?" Tian Li said worriedly.

Yi Yang shook his head: "No, the war scenes cost a lot of money, but now that the war scenes have been filmed, the money spent should not be as high as before."

"That's good!"

"It's really not enough. I still have 300,000 property." Yi Yang took out his mobile phone: "1 million should be enough for the rest of the filming."

These days, Yi Yang basically has no time to take care of the bosom friend's account, and has never withdrawn the income. At this time, when he opened it, the balance of the income was a little over 70,000.

This is the result of 7 million fans. Yi Yang has nothing to repay, so he can only make good works to satisfy the fans.

Many fans left messages about the progress of filming in private messages. Yi Yang couldn't reply so much, so he could only use words and pictures to make a statement about the film on Zhiyin. The content of the film cannot be disclosed, and the specific release time is still uncertain.

When making movies, spoilers are a big taboo. If it is a theater movie, it may lose a lot of box office because of spoilers.

Everyone in the crew, including the extras, has signed a non-disclosure agreement. It’s okay to take a few photos of the scene, and it’s okay to shoot with props, but it can’t be mixed with the plot content of the movie.

And the interview video made by Ai Qiyi reporter Wang Yuan can only be released online after being verified by Yi Yang.

In the evening, Wang Yuan asked Yi Yang to confirm the content.

The video of this interview has a few seconds of on-site shooting. This is the explosion shot on the day of the opening ceremony. Yi Yang thought it was nothing after watching it carefully.

The other is nothing more than interviews with the director, that is, Yi Yang himself, and several leading actors, the most important one is Jiang Xin's. This video is less than three minutes long, and the interview about him is nearly one minute.

Yi Yang looked at the computer screen, Jiang Xin was very funny holding the microphone.

"This is a story about a certain battle in the Anti-Japanese War more than 70 years ago. We also had some in-depth understanding of this battle before filming. It can be said to be very tragic. Our play hopes to pass the The camera shows this period of history in front of the audience."

Wang Yuan also held the tape recorder: "I think what everyone wants to know is why you took on such a difficult war scene, and it is said that there is no pay?"

Jiang Xin: "This..."

Yi Yang watched the video and nodded in agreement.

Wang Yuan was taken aback: "Then I just posted it like this?"
