King of Special Effects

The two-day shooting was basically done within the resident, the scenes were set up by myself, and the meals were also eaten in the cafeteria. After two days, it didn't cost much at all.

The limited funds can only be used for a few locations, and it has to be completed as soon as possible, otherwise, the 30,000 yuan will be gone in the blink of an eye. Even if I couldn't film the scene according to Jiang Zhihe's request, I still had to finish the filming if I paid more than 30,000 yuan.

Today's main filming is about firefighters rushing into a smoky floor to save people. The shooting location is the five-story building on the squadron training ground that is usually used for various emergency training. However, due to the needs of the plot, the post-production special effects will Increase the number of floors.

This kind of shot that reflects the skills of firefighters is what they are best at, and it is done according to their usual training method.

After setting up the camera, Yi Yang first carefully explained to them every shot to be taken next.

Now the more carefully I speak, the faster the shooting speed will be.

In order to improve the real effect of the shooting, Zhao Wei took out the smoke simulator he usually used for training, and made the building full of smoke.

Yi Yang and Ling Lan could only wrap up in towels to take pictures, but there was smoke, and the light in the corridor became very poor. Even with a SLR, the pictures were completely dark, and the faces were not clear at all. There was no other way, so Liu Tianxiang could only spend a few hundred dollars to buy two lighting panels.

Because of Hengdian Film and Television City, such photographic equipment can be easily bought here.

In less than half an hour, he returned with two yuan.

Fix the line and continue shooting!

Yi Yang was shooting here, Ling Lan and Yang Li arranged a room with the appearance of a standard living room for several people, and most of the things they used were found in the resident. This scene was used for shooting a The children are trapped in the room, and then the firefighters go to rescue the scene.

"It's time to eat!" Zhao Weilai said to Yi Yang who was sitting on the stairs looking through the results of the morning's shooting: "How is it? I have been in Hengdian for so many years, and this is the first time I have seen a shooting method like yours."

Yi Yang is not a professional director, all scenes can only be done according to his own ideas.

"No way, the conditions are limited. If I have hundreds of thousands or even millions of funds, I will definitely be able to make a blockbuster movie."

"I believe that one day you will become an internationally renowned director." Zhao Wei patted Yi Yang on the shoulder: "Let's eat!"

An internationally renowned director, this goal is still far away. Becoming a real director is Yi Yang's main goal at the moment.

Half an hour of eating is Yi Yang's only rest time today.

After eating, he started to prepare for the afternoon scene again. He was optimistic about the shooting location, where the camera should be set, how many shots each scene needs to shoot, etc. Yi Yang had to think clearly about these things in advance.

Half past twelve noon!

Yang Li brought the actor who played the child, a boy around seven or eight years old: "Yi Yang, this is my son!"

Forehead!

In order to make this micro-movie, Yang Li searched for all the family members of the fire squadron, and finally dragged her son onto the stage.

However, the child is quite cute and listens to her mother very well.

After a short rest, the intense shooting began again.

The difficult scenes were all filmed yesterday, and today there are a lot of shots, but they are all relatively easy, basically one pass.

When it came time to film the scene of rescuing the children, Yang Li made the little actor cry, and there was crying in the room.

This child can cry when he says he can cry, and he is not fake at all. With the sound of crying and the tears on his face, Yi Yang hurriedly took a picture of this scene.

"Cry as you say, Director Yang, you really have the professional skills of an actor."

Yang Li said with a smile: "This is really his professional skill. He doesn't usually cry, but he can cry just by pretending."

Some people have said that the most difficult shots are those of animals and children, but Yi Yang doesn't feel it at all now, maybe this kid is not too young and is very obedient.

The filming continued. In the smoky corridor, the firefighters took a fire ax and hacked hard at the security door, but because the fire was too large, the corridor became very unsafe. The fire was so close that they could only evacuate from the window. .

Because there is a river across, the fire truck cannot drive downstairs, and the fire ladder on the car can't reach it, so people can only climb up with vertical ladders.

At this time, time is everything, and we must go up as fast as possible.

The thorn-headed firefighter Wang Qing used his own method to climb up without saying a word. The people below were terrified, but in the end there was no danger. Wang Qing broke through the window smoothly and entered the house. The fire had already ignited, so he had to quickly turn out the window with the child in his arms and go down the climbing ladder.

At this time, an explosion came from a room, and the air wave directly lifted Wang Qing and the child in his arms, only to fall down.

But at the last moment, Wang Qing still instinctively let himself face down, using his body to block the impact damage for the child.

Throughout the afternoon, everyone was busy with this plot.

In the scene of falling from a building, Wang Qing is played by a firefighter who is said to be only 20 years old. He can also be regarded as the protagonist of this micro-movie.

After fixing the safety rope, he lowered it slowly. Yi Yang was also hanging on a safety rope, holding a SLR camera in his hand, and slowly lowered it above Wang Qing and the child.

This is the height of the fourth floor. It was the first time that he entrusted his life to the safety rope, which made Yi Yang break out in a cold sweat.

The child in Wang Qing's arms needs to close his eyes at this time, because the child is in a dying state because of inhaling the smoke.

The two fell, and a group of firefighters downstairs tried to catch them without hesitation, but in the end they failed to block the impact of the free fall, and several firefighters were injured as a result.

This should be regarded as the final plot, but Yi Yang doesn't like the tragic ending plot, although it may make the audience cry, but this kind of plot Yi Yang would rather the audience see the hero is still alive joy.

Heroes shouldn't come after death. For heroes who save lives, living well is the best reward for them.

The scene on the squadron training ground should be over by now, the rest is the scene of the hospital and the location of the police.

It's getting late, and these two scenes can only be filmed tomorrow.

Call it a day and go back to where you live.

Yi Yang's body was covered in dust during the photo shoot today, and he took a bath with his clothes on. Washing both together does not waste water resources at all.

Ling Lan knocked on the door of the bathroom, and Yi Yang immediately opened the door.

"Why don't you take off your clothes in the shower?"

Yi Yang said with a smile: "If I take off my clothes and take a shower, what you see now is... you really want to see it, don't you?"

"Who wants to see you? I saw that you didn't bring clean clothes into the shower." Ling Lan stuffed a pair of boxer shorts and a shirt into Yi Yang's hands, and then closed the door.

Wishing to take a bath, Yi Yang also cooled the freshly washed clothes: "Lan Lan, do you want me to wash your clothes?"

"don't want!"

Ling Lan flatly refused, the clothes she wanted to wash were clothes she didn't want to show Yi Yang, let alone let Yi Yang wash them.

Even though the two are together now, she is still shy enough in front of Yi Yang, and she buried the pink suit she was about to change under her pajamas.

She didn't want to, so Yi Yang had to work on his own, first charge the batteries of the drone and SLR, then turn on the laptop, sort out the shots taken today, delete the useless ones, and upload all the useful ones to the phone .

Tomorrow is one more day, after the exterior shooting, it can be completed, and the rest is post-production.
