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

Chapter 67 Air-to-ground Intense Strike
Weibo's #1 hot search#王晓拍剧手控缺#, with a popularity value of 8043861, explosive!

Comment area -

"Why are you so careless, brother?"

"Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo of of of a brother."

"This is the dedicated actor Wang Xiao!"

"Looking forward to the actor Wang Xiao, who is desperately filming, to star in the new movie "Being Smoked."

"Brother is working too hard, you must take good care of yourself in the crew."

"Could the crew please protect the actors? Why did they hurt the actors?"

"It's time for the crew to reflect on it!"

"Damn the show, do you know how much an injury is a blow to an actor?"

After Xu Nuo read this trending search, he thought that there really was something inside him.

Can such a piece of shit be ranked first in the hot search?

Did you buy it for money?
As for whether Wang Xiao's studio bought it with money or the producer of "Wolf Smoke", that's unknown.

It looks more like a joint marketing drama.

It's just that the crew never imagined that they would be bombarded by Wang Xiao's idiotic fans and labeled as "not doing enough to protect the actors".

"By the way, Old Xu, shouldn't our "Transformers" crew also show some set photos? There hasn't been much enthusiasm about our "Transformers" recently."

He Feiyang, who was sitting next to Xu Nuo and eating, immediately suggested to Xu Nuo after reading this trending search.

To talk about the popularity of "Transformers" last time, it was when Xu Nuo posted a video showing a mechanically modified transforming car and said that he would shoot the movie "Transformers".

Today, "Transformers" has started filming.

Even when it was started, Xu Nuo didn't bother to do any marketing, and just started shooting in such an unknown manner.

Studio photos are indeed a relatively good way of publicity for the film and television drama being filmed.

Under normal circumstances, many crews will release a few set photos one after another during the filming period, so as to create a wave of enthusiasm for the film and television drama project.

Some film and television crews who are willing to hype even send out some set photos every once in a while to keep the popularity from fading.

Xu Nuo didn't think about these fancy things at first.

All I want to do is to shoot "Transformers" well.

But with He Feiyang's suggestion, coupled with the fact that his eyes were stained by this "Being Smoke", Xu Nuo wondered, should he also put some photos on the set of "Transformers"?

"Wouldn't it be too hardcore for our studio photos?"

Xu Nuo smiled lightly and said.

"It must be hardcore, I believe it will definitely create a lot of heat."

The studio photos of other people's houses are all studios, film and television studios, etc., but the studio photos of "Transformers" are different.

Fighters, armed helicopters, large transport aircraft, heavy tanks, armored vehicles, and the task force played by tough guys like Xiong Li.

These alone, in terms of visual impact, are far from comparable to those filmed by traffic stars.

"but."

After thinking for a while, Xu Nuo considered: "Our set photos involve a bit of the base and equipment weapons. This still needs the permission of Colonel Luo Wei and the others."

"This is true."

He Feiyang didn't think about it just now.

Hearing what Lao Xu said, it is true. After all, if there are real things such as aircraft, tanks and armored vehicles in the set photos, Colonel Luo Wei must nod.

Otherwise, after the set photos involving relevant content are released, some consequences will be beyond the reach of the "Transformers" crew.

"I'll go back and ask Colonel Luo Wei, hurry up and eat."

After Xu Nuo and He Feiyang had supper, they returned to their dormitory room to rest.

In the next three days, Xu Nuo will lead the crew to try their best to shoot all the scenes in the script on the desert base.

The most important of these is naturally the battle with the Decepticon giant scorpion near the desert village. First of all, it must be fueled enough, and real fighter jets and missiles are fully used for shooting on the screen.

Xu Nuo feels that it is not a big problem for Ran, as long as the picture is taken well, it will be fine for Guan Ju to create a passionate BGM.

The main thing is to use real fighter jets, helicopters, drones and missiles for real shooting. This is the most difficult and expensive.

Xu Nuo chose an uninhabited village more than 60 kilometers away from the base for the filming location of this big scene.

Villages in the Gobi desert like this may have been inhabited before, but these days, they have basically been gradually deserted.

It happened that this was a deserted and uninhabited village. Some of the earthen walls had collapsed, and some were still standing there. The houses looked good from the outside and didn't collapse much.

Xu Nuo also asked the crew to contact the local government and confirmed that no one lived in this place as early as seven or eight years ago.

Therefore, Xu Nuo determined that the filming of "Transformers" could be carried out here.

Various departments of the crew arrived one after another and arranged the scene of the village. Since this is an uninhabited village, the props and scenery team needed to arrange it as if it was inhabited.

In addition, a group of actors who play the role of villagers will be needed.

This is not Hengdian Film and Television City, and Xu Nuo couldn't have brought extra actors on the first day of the base, so the job of playing the villagers was left to the crew members who had no work tasks during the filming.

In fact, many theater groups do this.

When filming, you don’t necessarily just do your own job as a crew member. Many times, the director will ask you to act as passers-by under the camera.

Sometimes even the director will make a guest appearance under the camera
Just like when Mike Bay was filming "Transformers", he played the citizen who was thrown away by Megatron in the final city battle.

Now the makeup artist is busy.

Xu Nuo was busy instructing all departments of the crew on the set, from the layout of the scene to the status of the actors, as long as Xu Nuo had time, he would personally guide.

Because only Xu Nuo knows what kind of picture he wants to shoot.

"Xiong Li, come with me."

Xu Nuo called Xiong Li and the actors who played the task force over.

Then he led them to an open space outside the village.

"At that time, the giant scorpion will be temporarily blocked by your concentrated fire at this position outside the village. Have you seen these walls? You can pass through these walls as a cover, but you must face the thick-blooded giant scorpion. It won't last long, after all, your weapons and equipment are really limited in terms of lethality against giant scorpions."

"Hmm, then we are in a state of extreme stress resistance at this time, right?"

"exactly."

Xu Nuo nodded, it seems that Xiong Li's understanding is very good: "Because your communication equipment is no longer available at this time, so you immediately found the villagers and borrowed a mobile phone, and then asked the General Staff Department for help. support."

"clear."

Xiong Li has already memorized the scenes in his script by heart.

But at this moment, Director Xu personally gave some more guidance, which naturally made it more in-depth. When shooting later, the number of mistakes will be reduced.

"Remember to look for the cover of the wall, don't worry, when the time comes, the position of each of you will be far away from the position of the giant scorpion. When the missile hits, you will be at a safe distance outside."

Xu Nuo instructed Xiong Li and Xie Jin again.

"Director, director, what are you talking about?"

An actor was stunned after hearing this.

"The Air-to-Surface Missile of the Veyron."

Xu Nuo replied.

"Director, do you mean that during the filming, a missile really hit and exploded at the position of the giant scorpion? Is it a real missile?"

The actors are numb again.

"if not?"

Xu Nuo shrugged slightly, and said calmly: "Because the giant scorpion interferes with the radar, all you have to do is use the weapons in your hands to guide the fighter jets with laser light."

hiss~
All the actors couldn't help but gasp.

The director actually planned to use missiles to shoot this scene?

They had never heard of a director who was so crazy that even the firepower had to be shot with real things.

"Director Xu, I want to ask again, that is, is our position really outside the safe distance of the missile explosion?"

Although Xiong Li knew director Xu Nuo's real shooting style, he still asked carefully.

"That's for sure. I can still put you within the range of the explosion for filming? Colonel Luo Wei will guarantee safety. Don't you trust our pilots?"

Xu Nuo couldn't help rolling his eyes.

I like real shots, but it is definitely impossible to joke about the safety of your actors' lives.

Besides, there will be model targets at the location where the bomb will be bombed, and there will also be radar locks.

With Director Xu's words, everyone is relieved.

On Luo Wei's side at this time, he was coordinating aircraft and ammunition for Xu Nuo.

The aircraft Xu Nuo will use in this scene includes a drone, an air early warning aircraft, two attack aircraft, and three Veyron fighter jets, and finally there are two armed helicopters and a heavy transport helicopter.

Among them, drones conduct reconnaissance and assist in strikes.

Airborne early warning aircraft as "command".

The Veyron fighter directly bombarded the giant scorpion with air-to-ground missiles.

Immediately afterwards, the intensive firepower of the attack aircraft near the ground and the machine guns, which barely solved the crisis of Xiong Li and his task force, and finally came the escort of the Thunderbolt gunship, and the Shendiao heavy transport plane, and took the surviving soldiers of Xiong Li and the others. to pick up.

"Colonel Luo, we are already in the village where the filming took place. When will our plane arrive?"

Xu Nuo called Colonel Luo Wei and asked about it.

"We'll have to wait a while, after all, we're going to be bombing this time, and we need to prepare the 30mm cannon you need on the attack plane."

Luo Wei replied.

"Alright then, let's take some other shots first."

After Xu Nuo heard the words, he decided not to waste time, and while the various planes at the base were still preparing, he took some other shots first.

Only by racing against time can I have the opportunity to shoot all the shots I want in five days.

After all, after shooting the base and the desert this time, if I want the lens, I won’t use it next time, and the cost can be saved a little.

"Come on, camera crew, actors, me, let's go to the desert outside the village and prepare to shoot the 1049th shot first."

Xu Nuo immediately told the crew.

The staff of the crew acted quickly.

Under the leadership of Xu Nuo, the working ability of this crew has been quite efficient.

Xu Nuo also specially arranged for an off-road vehicle to take Xiong Li and the actors towards the 1049th shooting point outside the village.

This shot is mainly to shoot Xiong Li and his task force surviving team. After encountering the attack of the giant scorpion, they found a village not far away, so they ran to the village to find a bunker to fight back.

It was another scene that required hard running, and it was still under the scorching sun.

At this time, the crew has set up a sunshade outside the village, and prepared water and some food.

For the actors, to make these scenes in the desert well, the physical exertion is too great, and they must be prepared to replenish their energy.

After all, in such an environment, just standing here for a while will make you feel thirsty.

"Xiong Li, Xie Jin, this time you run to the village, you still have to be in the same state as yesterday, you have to show nervousness, you know?"

Xu Nuo reminded Xiong Li and the others.

"Good director."

"no problem."

This time Xiong Li and Xie Jin had gained experience, so they should run much more smoothly.

quickly.

The crew and actors are all in place, and long shots are taken first, followed by close-up personal close-ups.

"Get ready, run!"

After everything was ready, Xu Nuo issued a director's order.

For a moment, Xiong Li, who was wearing a special combat uniform on the sand, about seven or eight of them rushed down from a slope in the desert towards the village.

In the plot, the giant scorpion is chasing them behind them at this time, but in fact there is no such thing, so they are now considered to be a non-physical performance in a sense.

"Hurry up! Run! Find cover!"

At this time, Xiong Li still had a line, that is, he roared and asked his teammates to rush into the village and find the wall as a cover.

Seven or eight people quickly rushed to the village, and at this moment, one of the actors suddenly fell down and rolled forward along the sandy slope twice, and then he immediately got up again and continued to run forward.

"Director Xu, don't you want to stop?"

Seeing someone fall, someone came over and asked director Xu Nuo.

Xu Nuo couldn't help frowning slightly, but still shook his head: "This shot of falling is pretty good."

In the script, Xu Nuo did not arrange such a scene where someone fell and then got up and continued to rush into the village.

But when filming, there are often such and such "accidents" by accident, and some actors improvise, etc., which will make the whole shot perform better, so Xu Nuo decided to use this "accidental" shot without calling for a stop.

After the shot of the people in Yuanjing running towards the village was finished, Xu Nuo immediately went over to communicate with the actor who fell down.

"You just fell down and then got up and continued to run forward. You performed very well on the spot. If the movement was a little slower, you might have to re-shoot this part."

Xu Nuo had to give this actor a thumbs up.

After communicating, he really fell down, not because he did it on purpose and temporarily. After he fell, he got up quickly with firm will and continued to run forward.

Because of this, his fall did not affect the quality of the entire shot.

Instead, it became a plus item.

"Did you fall somewhere? Let the medical staff check it for you."

Xu Nuo asked the actor to go over for a medical examination, although it seemed that he was fine.

Immediately afterwards, Xu Nuo went to take close-up personal close-up shots.

They belonged to Xiong Li and Xie Jin respectively.

In other words, the two of them had to go back and run hard again. If the run was not good, they might have to run a few more times.

Fortunately, Xiong Li and Xie Jin are both experienced.

The close-up shots of the two of them were also shot quite smoothly. Xiong Li shot it in one shot, and Xie Jin's personal close-up shot was shot twice.

After Xu Nuo finished shooting these shots, Colonel Luo Wei drove to the village shooting location.

"Old Xu, the plane has been prepared for you. Which plane are you going to take first?"

At this time, three Veyron fighter jets and two attack planes were already sailing in the nearby airspace, and the drone launch vehicle was also in place.

"Let's start with the drone," Xu Nuo said.

Luo Wei nodded, and immediately sent an order to the base: "The drone is ready to dispatch."

In a short while, an advanced drone was launched from a drone launch vehicle one kilometer away from the village with a "swish" sound, and quickly flew towards the predetermined point of the village shooting site.

Xu Nuo's aerial drone shots and drone tracking shots have captured the handsome flying pictures of this military drone.

Subsequently, the drone arrived in the sky outside the village, and launched a small missile mounted on the drone at the marked area.

This shot, where the drone supports Xiong Li and the others, and the firepower attack on the giant scorpion was added by Xu Nuo himself, mainly to make this battle scene richer.

The moment the small missile exploded, the camera accurately captured it.

Immediately afterwards, the handsome Veyron fighter plane and attack plane were dispatched one after another. As a powerful combat force in the air, the missiles of these two guys are much stronger than those of drones.

Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Two Air-to-Surface missiles launched by the Veyron fighter jets accurately hit the model target set by the crew in the explosion area. The missile tracking camera, the panoramic aerial shot, and the ground camera captured the air-to-ground missiles of the Veyron fighter jet in all directions. launch and explosion.

Every cameraman dared not shake his hand when shooting, for fear that the shot would not be taken well.

After all, director Xu Nuoke spent 320 million on an airborne air-to-ground missile for the Veyron fighter jet.

Just two shots like this, more than 600 million funds were gone, and Xu Nuo didn't dare to come again if there was too much, the money really couldn't afford it.

According to the plot of Xu Nuo's "Transformers" script, after a round of air-to-ground missile bombing by Veyron fighter jets, although the giant scorpion was traumatized, it still attacked Xiong Li and the others.

Immediately afterwards, Xiong Li on the ground demanded intensive firepower from aerial machine guns.

At this time, two attack planes were dispatched, followed by a burst of 30mm machine gun output, and the output shots of each gun were piled up with banknotes.

During the normal shooting process, Xu Nuo arranged several aerial shots and ground shots to shoot this round of all-round air-to-ground fire strike.

This real firepower is really strong enough.

Xu Nuo was very satisfied with the many shots he took.

Everyone in the "Transformers" crew, including the actors, saw the real shots of these air-to-ground fire output strikes arranged by Director Xu, and their adrenaline soared throughout the process.

Too TM exciting!
Everyone in the crew has never made such an exciting movie in their life.

However, the excitement is only temporary.

After the stimulus is over, all that's left is the endless...funding bills.

The five days of shooting were fleeting, and Xu Nuo finally finished all the shots he wanted on the base and the desert side, and what was waiting for Xu Nuo was the various expenses generated by this shooting.

"Old Xu, let's settle the bill."

Looking at the long bill that could be dragged to the ground in the hands of Colonel Luo Wei, Xu Nuo suddenly felt so empty.

Maybe it's like this after it's over.
