"start."

After all departments were prepared and the actors were in place, the new shooting began. In order to let the actors get into the scene, music was also added to the scene.

Everyone looked up.

A red light shines in the sky, and countless rice dumplings appear around. Of course, this scene is all based on imagination, and there are no real actors involved.

Someone here might be curious.

Why not use motion capture technology?

This is because there are very few special effects movies in China, and motion capture technology is rarely used. If Luo Xun wants to use this technology in "The Secret of the Dragon", he will have to film it abroad, because the relevant equipment to implement motion capture technology , those special effects companies only rent, not sell.

It doesn't matter if Luo Xun is a shareholder of Marvel.

They spent a lot of money on research and development, how could they just sell it to you casually? That’s why only CG was used in Luo Xun’s scene.

Having said that.

If CG is used well, the effect is no worse than motion capture. Motion capture of some virtual characters, such as the raccoon in "Guardians of the Galaxy" or the small character in "The Lord of the Rings", may be better than pure CG special effects. Even better, but there is no such character in the movie Luo Xun, so there is no need to do such troublesome things——

The cost of that thing is still high.

The filming was in progress at the moment, and the first person to be frightened was Lei Jiayin. The effect of this guy playing the role of the big gold tooth was better than Luo Xun imagined. He rolled and crawled so naturally: "Zongzi! They are all big zongzi!" Don't eat me...run..."

Xia Yu shook the rope in his hand.

Luo Xun's face was very solemn.

Huang Bo retreated and was on guard.

On Liu Xiaoqing's side, one of her sacrificed men crawled towards her and said in a miserable tone: "Master, save me!"

"Don't come over here!"

Liu Xiaoqing was frightened. This man was obviously dead, but now he came back to life. In desperation, she took out her gun and shot the foreigner indiscriminately.

"Why did you abandon me!"

The gringo's makeup was very scary, and he did look a bit like a zongzi. Moreover, the way he crawled was very zombie-like, and he shouted in a hoarse voice: "Help me..."

The gun had no effect on him.

He had already hugged Liu Xiaoqing, and the rotten look on half of his face was very revealing: "Help me!"

"I have no magic power..."

Liu Xiaoqing's body stiffened, her tone was trembling and slight, and tears flowed out: "I only have the anesthetic in the ring and a lot of money... I can't save you, I can't save you..."

There's a show here.

On Luo Xun's side, he made a scuffle and struggle action. He was fighting Zongzi. The same was true on Chen Yao's side, but Chen Yao had looked at Liu Xiaoqing several times. This frequency of waiting and looking made the rhythm a bit chaos.

Luo Xun noticed.

But he didn't stop. After all, this scene was not that easy. Let everyone expose the problem first, then point it out, and then put things right.

"I'm dying."

Liu Xiaoqing is still giving a selfless performance: "I can't live for a few more days. There is something growing in my head and it can't be cured. I need Hibiscus flowers, I need Hibiscus flowers, I need Hibiscus flowers!"

Three repeated lines.

The first sentence is exciting.

The second sentence is crazy.

The third sentence is already hysterical!

The foreigner looked at her in horror. Liu Xiaoqing took off her hood, revealing her terrifying head. There were several stitches on her head, making her look like a patched-up rag doll.

"Click."

Luo Xun felt that it was almost time, so he stopped immediately, and then said to everyone: "Don't rush to start over, let's see the effect first."

"Good director."

Everyone spoke quickly.

Luo Xun nodded and smiled at Liu Xiaoqing in the distance: "Teacher Liu just performed very well. This is a treasure that never grows old. It's a pity that I can't play opposite you in this play."

"There will be a chance in the future."

Liu Xiaoqing said with a smile that she also wanted to see what level Luo Xun was now, but movies like "The Secret of the Dragon" did not have high requirements for acting skills, so she couldn't tell how weak Luo Xun was from this movie.

Haven’t seen each other for several years.

Luo Xun, who was crushed by him back then, is now also the best actor. If he confronts someone head-on again, I'm afraid Luo Xun will be completely worthy of himself.

He did not continue talking to Liu Xiaoqing.

Luo Xun talked to Chen Yao about the problem: "You just looked at Teacher Liu Xiaoqing too frequently. Do you know why?"

"Why?"

Chen Yao said embarrassedly.

Luo Xundao: "Because you didn't put your mind on your performance. If you had devoted yourself wholeheartedly, after finishing the movements arranged by the action instructor, you would have looked at Teacher Liu Xiaoqing at the right time. , But it doesn’t matter. This time I will arrange for someone to remind you. When he says, just turn your head and look at it naturally. "

"OK."

Chen Yao nodded.

Luo Xun said nothing more, but he felt that his strategy for this shooting was still too immature and should not be made into a long lens. The long lens is actually very cost-effective for green screen shooting. It is not as good as everyone taking it one round at a time. It would be easier to edit it together at the end of the shooting, but the shooting of this scene has already started, so we might as well continue shooting. Anyway, if this scene can use the effect of long shots, it is indeed incomparable to spliced ​​editing.

And you don’t have to be harsh on yourself.

For this long shot, we only need to capture the panoramic effect, and then use the plot of Teacher Liu Xiaoqing as the center point. The reactions of other characters can be shot separately, and then edited to add them in.

Think of a solution.

Luo Xun felt more confident.

Xia Yu raised the corner of her mouth as she slowly observed. As a good friend of Luo Xun, she had been curious about Luo Xun's current directing ability. However, Luo Xun has been the core and soul of the crew since the filming of this film, which made Xia Yu Yu understand——

Luo Xun is already a very powerful director.

A strong director can make actors rely on him. This is Xia Yu's experience gained from many years of filming. If he is an incompetent director, let alone filming, sometimes such a director cannot even control the actors——

Actors can rely on fame.

However, some capable directors can hold their own even when facing actors who are much bigger than themselves.

Twenty minutes later.

Shooting started again.

This is the daily life of the crew of "Searching for the Dragon". They shoot non-stop every day. Then as the director, Luo Xun keeps revising his ideas and constantly thinking about how to let the actors give their full play so that the movie can achieve the effect he wants most - —

Of course I am tired.

However, after so many years of filming, Luo Xun has become accustomed to it. Moreover, after the filming of "The Secret of the Dragon" is finished every day, Huang Bo will take everyone to his tent to have a drink, which is quite romantic. Luo Xun I feel that he may not be able to quit this kind of life for many years to come.
