Chapter 2030: Married Again
There are several models of fairy mountains next to these buildings, including the Golden Light Cave of Qianyuan Mountain of Taiyi Immortal, the Taoyuan Cave of Jiuxian Mountain of Guangchengzi, the Baihe Cave of Jiugong Mountain of Immortal Puxian, and the statue of Manjusri Guangfa Tianzun. There are Yunxiao Cave in Wulong Mountain, Luojia Cave in Mount Putuo of Immortal Cihang, and Jinxia Cave in Yuquan Mountain in Immortal Yuding; of course, there are also Sanxian Island where Zhao Gongming’s three younger sisters live, Jinao Island where Ten Heavenly Lords live, and Four Sages. Kowloon Island where it is located and so on.
The original TV series are really caves, but the caves and caves mentioned by Taoists are not real caves, but fairy mountains on the ground. Since they are fairy mountains, they can't be bare, right? No matter what, there must be some pavilions and pavilions for immortals to practice and enjoy. If they are all photographed, they will definitely not find so many suitable places, and it is even more impossible to build them by themselves.
So Shen Long thought of this way, we can make miniature models, the camera is close to the miniature model, the effect is like shooting the real fairy mountain cave from a distance; as for the scene inside the cave, it is much easier to handle , There are many pavilions and pavilions in Fengshen City, and it will be fine to capture different angles and areas for shooting.
This is inspired by "The Lord of the Rings". When Peter Jackson was shooting the White City Minas Tirith, he used a 1:72 model to shoot the panorama, which looked magnificent; of course, the White City Minas The model of Tirith is also very large, the highest point can reach a height of six meters, and the crew had to rent a factory to fit it.
However, that is the scale needed for filming. Shen Long’s TV series should be one or two meters high. Today’s cameras are far less sharp than those used by Peter Jackson, and the display capabilities of TVs are not as good as movie screens. , as long as the technique is better and the post-processing is more refined, the audience in front of the TV will be sure that it is true.
"This method is good. It can shoot big scenes without consuming too much money!" The cameraman tried it a little, and immediately understood the benefits. The model looked around, "Yang Jian, this is your home, right? Yo, Lei Zhenzi, this is the place where you grew your wings from eating fairy apricots, right?"
"After the shooting is finished, I can put it here for tourists to enjoy. I guess they are also very interested. It's a pity that I can't enter these fairy mountain caves to take pictures." Fengshen City will still be open to the public when there is no shooting task. Like Hengdian, in addition to the income from receiving crews from all over the world, the travel income of tourists is also a big income.
The time is not yet ripe. In a few years, we can call on extras, props, costumes, make-up and other behind-the-scenes staff to be stationed here, and add buildings from different periods. When the time comes, which crew wants to make a film, they can directly bring the actors over. That's it, we'll pack the rest for you.
After resting for one night in the newly built hotel next to Fengshen City, the filming officially started the next day. Shen Long divided the crew members into two groups. The first group was taken by the assistant director to Lutai, Lingtai and other places to film King Zhou and King Wu. Wenxi, Shen Long brought Jiang Ziya, Yang Jian, and Nezha to a special studio to shoot the scenes of fighting the gods.
After entering, I saw a big blue curtain hanging on the wall. Shen Long asked Yang Jian, Nezha and the villains of Jiejiao who had changed their costumes to perform in front of the curtain. Xiao Wu was a little confused, "Director, what are you doing?" huh?"
"This is a blue screen, which is used to shoot special effects shots. In Journey to the West, the scene of "Monkey King" soaring through the clouds was shot in front of the blue screen, and after processing it was replaced with the background of the sky, which became the scene of Monkey King flying in the sky. Effect: Aren’t you stepping on the Hot Wheels to fight in the sky? If you don’t shoot like this, it will really make you fly to the sky!” You are not me.
Blue is the complementary color of human skin, and using a blue screen as the background should be the easiest way to achieve keying; later generations of film and television fans will think of green screens when they mention special effects. In fact, the reason why Hollywood uses green screens is because of European and American races. The eyes of the actor are blue, and it would be easy to remove the eyes of the actors after shooting with blue screen, so they used green screen.
Asians don’t have this problem. Most of their eyes are black. For example, the fluorescent green used in the computer system is easier to separate from the foreground. At the same time, this color is brighter and less likely to produce black edges, etc.; Which one to choose depends on the specific needs of the crew. From the situation of the crew of "Feng Shen Bang", it is better to use blue screen.
Most of the actors in the crew have never been exposed to this kind of performance mode, and they feel a bit awkward and unable to use their hands and feet. Needless to say, young people like Xiao Wu, even old actors like Lan Lao have made many mistakes.
Shen Long was already prepared for this, and he didn't get angry. Any new thing needs a process of adaptation. Senior Brother and Second Senior Brother also made a lot of mistakes when shooting this kind of shot, just adapt slowly. Anyway, I don't turn it on now, so don't worry about wasting film.
Fortunately, most of the crew are experienced actors with strong self-adjustment ability. They gradually became familiar with this kind of performance, and returned to the previous state when they were filming on location, but the filming started.
Previously, he spent nine months on location and spent another three months in Fengshen City. It took a total of more than a year. Shen Long finally finished shooting all the shots. After the wrap-up banquet, the crew dispersed. Take classmate Xiao Wu and teacher Lan and the others back to the capital.
On the train, classmate Xiao Wu was still a little bit reluctant, "Director Feng, why did you finish filming so quickly? I'm still a little bit unsatisfied! When will it be broadcast on TV? I can be as handsome as the elder brother Is it?"
"If you want to continue to make TV series and movies, you have to study hard, and don't let your kung fu slip away. When you reach the age, you'd better go to the film school to master the basic skills, so that you can develop better in the future." Xiao Wu's kung fu That's enough, but the acting skills are a bit awkward. If he can make up for this shortcoming, he will be invincible.
"When the foundation is laid, I will definitely find you to make a movie. When the time comes to let you play "Water Margin", you should first think about who you want to play!" Shen Long already regarded "Water Margin" as his own, and agreed to Zang Jinsheng. Then he promised Xiao Wu again.
Hearing this student Xiao Wu immediately made up his mind that he must be admitted to the Acting Department of the Film Academy, learn acting skills hard, and strive to act in "Water Margin" as soon as possible.
After returning to the capital, Shen Long was not in a hurry to start post-production immediately, because he was getting married again.
