Director: The special effects are too expensive, so I had to make real shots

Chapter 10 The Director Really Loves Real Filming

Yuzhou City, Binjiang Fifth Road.

There are no pedestrians on a street hundreds of meters long at this time, because this section of the road has been temporarily blocked.

Either some major criminal case happened here, or a certain crew was shooting a movie here.

Obviously, the latter.

The citizens of Yuzhou City are no strangers to this situation.

After all, Yuzhou City is the filming location of many movies at home and abroad, and it is quite normal for citizens to see film crews shooting movies here.

It's just that there will be fewer filming crews with temporary road closures like this, and it's usually only for blockbuster movies.

"Is there a movie going on over there?"

"It should be."

"Why are there police, fire and emergency 120 cars parked here? Is it really a movie?"

"The street has issued a notice, saying that it is filming."

"Walk around, go over and see which stars are there."

"Will there be my pigeons?"

Many citizens came up curiously, but they could only watch from a distance outside the blockade. Some with good eyes could still see the general situation of the crew.

"Are there any stars?"

"I don't seem to see any good-looking brother."

"There is a big one."

"Grass, what kind of broken film crew?"

"It's really mullet roe. You don't even have a star, and you still have such a big battle?"

Some young people saw that there was not even a famous star in the filming crew, so they quickly dispersed, but some grandparents watched the excitement with relish.

"Zhou Junwei, is Zhou Junwei ready?"

At the shooting scene, Xu Nuo took a look at the site where the demolition team was almost ready, marking the explosion range and the safe distance.

And installed explosives.

"Director Xu, I'm here, now. Come on now?"

Zhou Junwei waved towards Xu Nuo not far away.

At this moment Zhou Junwei's mood was very disturbed.

At first, when Director Xu asked him to invite him to make a movie, Zhou Junwei thought it was just a normal urban romance or action movie.

It turned out that I didn't expect that not only did I have to shoot various fighting scenes, but also chase and explode scenes.

The most important thing is that the explosion scene was not filmed in a studio, but was filmed on the spot, even the explosives were TM installed.

Zhou Junwei is an ordinary fitness hunk, it's his first time to act in a movie, where has he seen such a scene?

It is impossible to say that I am not nervous.

It's good if the mood doesn't collapse.

Seeing that Zhou Junwei looked a little nervous, Xu Nuo walked over to Zhou Junwei and said, "It's the first time for an actor to shoot such a live-action explosion scene, and they will inevitably be nervous or scared. It's okay, relax, the insurance crew will buy it for you." Don't worry, besides, our team of blasters is professional."

"Old Xu, you know how to comfort people."

He Feiyang who followed said with a smile.

"Yeah, Director Xu, I'm fine."

Zhou Junwei nodded, and then took a few deep breaths, allowing himself to quickly enter the role state.

Immediately, a ruthless muscular man with a murderous look walked into the middle of the shooting scene, and the cameraman's lens began to fall on him.

When Zhou Junwei first joined the crew, the crew members were all stunned when they saw this tall, muscular man.

Especially when he entered the character state and became ruthless and murderous, it really scared some of the little girls in the crew.

Everyone in the crew has also said that it is perfect for him to play a cold-blooded robot killer.

"Come on, Xiong Li stands aside and gets ready. If the shooting doesn't stop later, he will follow the instructions and enter the scene to take down this shot in one go."

Back in front of the monitoring screen, Xu Nuo held the walkie-talkie in one hand and the guide tube in the other, ready to start filming a thrilling explosion scene.

"Everyone, get ready, come on, three, two, one, action!"

Xu Nuo issued the command to start shooting, and immediately the entire shooting scene started to run in an orderly manner.

"Start blasting position 10 in 3 seconds."

The voice of the head of the blasting division came from the intercom.

On the road, first the T-800 played by Zhou Junwei appeared, and then a frantic bombing began.

"Position 3 blasts!"

boom!
A huge explosion flared up and a car was overturned.

This kind of explosion effect was carefully prepared by the blaster. The diameter of the explosion is actually very small, but it looks very powerful. Basically, actors standing outside the safety line will not be affected in any way.

"Come on, blast at position 5, blast at position 6, prepare for position 1"

Immediately afterwards, there were several explosions in a row, and the effect of each explosion was very good, completely achieving the explosion visual effect that Xu Nuo wanted.

And those citizens who joined in the fun outside the closed line of the shooting scene were startled by the sudden explosion.

"Is this an explosion scene?"

"What a big scene."

"Is it really fried?"

"By the way, what movie crew is this?"

"I took a look just now, and it seems to be a crew called "Code 47"."

"Brother, you don't understand this. The crew usually don't use the title of the real drama when they make a movie."

"That's it, raise your posture."

After seeing the big scene of the explosion, the people who eat melons speculated whether some big director made a big movie here.

On the shooting site, after an explosion, several cars were "blown up" or overturned, and the scene on the road was chaotic. At the same time, the extras began to "flee" according to the location and route set by the blaster team.

"Okay, click!"

After filming a few scenes where extras played citizens fleeing, Xu Nuo stopped the shooting: "Very good, the few shots just now were well shot."

At this time, Zhou Junwei, who had just finished a short filming, had a fast heartbeat.

For the first time, this is the first time he has made a film, and it is still such an exciting scene.

After resting for half an hour, Xu Nuo was ready to continue filming the next explosion scene, and even got a full-scale prop truck over, that's right, this time he was going to blow up this truck.

Usually when shooting a movie, there will be many pictures of the same type, so the director will shoot it all at once.

For example, Xu Nuo would focus on shooting all the explosion shots required by "Terminator" at one time during this period of time.

As for how to use it in the movie, that is a matter of post-editing.

Of course, the explosion scene is definitely not just the streets of the city.

There are also scenes such as police station buildings and factories.

Good guy, when the director of Yuzhou Police Station heard that Xu Nuo wanted to shoot an explosion scene in the police station building, he must have flatly refused.

no way.

Xu Nuo could only adjust the scale to make a model of the police station building for bombing.

In this way, it took Xu Nuo more than half a month to shoot all the explosion scenes he needed on the city streets, police station buildings, factories and other scenes.

The actors are still great.

In fact, every time Zhou Junwei was filming an explosion scene, he was under a lot of psychological pressure.

The director really loves real shooting. For a sci-fi movie, many shots are done through real shooting. I have to say that Director Xu really has something.

And as the protagonist, I have no choice but to bite the bullet and get on!

Fortunately, the team of blasters is also very good. There is no accident in all the explosion shots, and the experience can be said to be rich.

Xu Nuo actually thought about it for a while, and if "Terminator" is released, if the box office is good, he will definitely recruit this team of blasters in the future to serve as his queen blasting team.

Because Xu Nuo has already foreseen the movies he will make in the future, there is a high probability that every movie will have a lot of explosion shots.

Very good, I can call it Explosion Xu from now on!

And Xu Nuo's goal is to create a top-level visual effect scene of real-time explosion that is even more shocking than Michael Bay!
"That's the end of today's shooting mission. Everyone go back and have an early rest. Tomorrow we will shoot a chase and shootout scene driving on the highway."

Xu Nuo ended the filming early today.

"Roger that!"

"Highway fight?"

"So exciting."

"What's the excitement? It's hard to shoot high-speed chases and shootouts, isn't it?"

"One thing to say, in Director Xu's crew, every day is very fulfilling."

"The money is also more generous, much more generous than other crews."

The staff of the crew chatted and chatted while packing up various things and equipment on the shooting site.

"Xiao Zhang, the equipment here can be collected."

Xu Nuo put down the walkie-talkie and guide tube in his hand, stood up, and stretched again.

Since he started filming "Terminator", Xu Nuo has been very focused on his work every day. He has devoted himself to the shooting work from morning to night. Many times there will be unsatisfactory shots, so he will shoot repeatedly.

Even if the shots of the explosion scene are not satisfactory, the blaster team will be asked to reinstall the explosives and shoot again.

Even though every explosion shot is burning funds, Xu Nuo said it doesn't matter.

Funding is to be used on these blades!

To make a movie, you need a serious attitude, and you must not be perfunctory.

Xu Nuo sometimes feels that it is because there are too many directors in the industry who are perfunctory and not serious enough, which leads to countless bad movies and few good movies every year.

As long as those directors are serious about shooting, many films will not be so bad.

Next.

Xu Nuo still needs to make several months of filming arrangements, and Xu Nuo will continue to forge ahead, striving to make this "Terminator" even more exciting in this parallel world!
