Chapter 297 Hulao Pass

"This scene is really nostalgic."

Zhang Bei looked up at the scene at Hulao Pass and was filled with emotion.

In fact, it was not just Zhang Bei, but most of the people present had seen this scene.In the old Three Kingdoms, the classic drama of the three heroes fighting Lu Bu was staged in front of this earth-yellow Hulao Pass, and everyone still has some impressions of it.

I think back then, Teacher Zhang Bei was riding a red rabbit horse in front of the pass, holding a Fangtian painted halberd, a silver helmet and silver armor, beating the princes of the world.

But now that decades have passed, the scene has changed significantly.

In fact, when I was filming Lao Three Kingdoms before, the scenery at Hulao Pass was more sophisticated and retro. For example, the city wall of Hulao Pass was not made of bricks like the later Ming Dynasty walls, but had an earthy color.

This is obviously a restoration based on the specific styles and materials of the Han Dynasty city walls.

However, because it had just been built at that time, the battlements on the wall were still square and angular, and the outer facade of the wall was also flat and smooth.

After decades of wind and rain, the smooth and smooth walls at that time have become mottled, some walls have fallen off, and the once clear edges and corners no longer exist, and there are traces of time erosion everywhere.

This kind of building has not been maintained for a long time, and this kind of weathering and damage is inevitable.

At this time, the entire Hulao Pass has been decorated accordingly. For example, various huge siege vehicles and ladders are arranged outside the city wall. There are many landforms similar to those eroded by demonic energy on the ground, such as black and red demons. There are large pits eroded by the gas, as well as piles of corpses piled up with the corpses of humans and demons.

In addition, there are burning remains of wooden buildings, broken halberds and broken guns stuck on the ground, chopped flags, etc.

After this scene, the originally desolate Hulao Pass immediately turned into a battlefield between humans and demons.

Yang Ming looked around, his eyes a little straight.

So much feeling!
Now he somewhat understands why Mr. Li and Mr. Lu insisted on shooting in real locations, and he feels that this is really not what a green screen can provide!
If it were shot on a general green screen, without this kind of environment and atmosphere, amateur actors like Yang Ming would definitely not be able to get into the mood as quickly as professional actors.

Just like the old artist who played Guan Yu said at the beginning, it was just a mere formality and an empty airs. Later, one day, the genius suddenly possessed his soul like an electric shock, and then he completed the subsequent interpretation.

It is not known what elements caused this transformation, but it is obvious that the constant speculation of the characters in the Three Kingdoms crew is one aspect, and the overall atmosphere and careful persuasion of the crew at that time must also be another aspect.

Yang Ming could feel that in this environment, there seemed to be a boiling feeling in his heart that was difficult to calm down!
"Come on, there are props here."

Qin Shang said hello to the prop team, and soon the props made in advance were brought over.

This time the prop team also very considerately prepared two sets of props, one set for Yang Ming, and the other set for Teacher Zhang Bei of course.

These props are Lu Bu's complete equipment, including full-body armor, Fang Tian's painted halberd, red rabbit horse, etc.

Just seeing the red rabbit horse made everyone at the scene startled.

Good guy, why is Yang Ming’s horse so big!
Teacher Zhang Bei's horse is already a serious tall horse, but Yang Ming's horse is obviously even more outrageous and exaggerated. Although it is also maroon red, its body is several times larger. Come to the back of that ordinary horse.

Yang Ming was shocked: "There is such a horse? Why have I never heard of it?"

Li Rushan explained triumphantly: "This kind of horse is actually a draft horse, called a Shire horse. Of course, in order to make it closer to the appearance of a red rabbit horse, we gave it a slight make-up.

"This kind of horse comes from European island countries. When it reaches adulthood, the shoulder height is about 1.8 to 1.9 meters. When standing naturally, the head height can even reach 2.5 meters. The weight is also about 900 kilograms. Some huge ones can even reach one ton. .

"This is specially prepared for Yang Ming. After all, only a horse of this size can match Lu Bu's body!

"We can't make people feel like Lu Bu is riding a dog after it's filmed."

When Yang Ming and others heard it, it really made sense! "Lu Bu rides a dog" is also a very popular Internet term. It is usually used in the digital area. For example, when someone installs a computer, he has a very powerful graphics card but a crappy CPU, or he has a very powerful graphics card. The CPU is equipped with a very rubbish motherboard. This is Lu Bu riding a dog.

And during the filming process, if Yang Ming is allowed to ride an ordinary horse, maybe it will really produce the effect of Lu Bu riding a dog.

For example, teacher Zhang Bei is 184cm tall, which would be just right for him to ride an ordinary tall horse. However, Yang Ming is more than two meters tall and his body is obviously several times bigger than Zhang Bei. Riding an ordinary horse seems to be different.

In fact, in the Three Kingdoms, the Red Rabbit Horse should really be a special mount that is much larger than a regular war horse.

"Lu Bu is among men, and Red Rabbit is among horses." This is by no means a false statement.

I think when Cao Cao gave Guan Yu the red rabbit horse, it was because he saw that Guan Yu's horse was very thin. Cao Cao was very surprised and asked why. Guan Yu said that I was too heavy and the horse couldn't carry me. I must be tired from running around. It's too bad, so I'm thin.

So Cao Cao gave the red rabbit horse to Guan Yu.

It is enough to see here that top famous generals like Lu Bu and Guan Yu must be tall and thick, and their size and strength are different from ordinary people. Ordinary horses must not be able to carry them.

It is not a trivial matter to be unable to carry the load. You must know that the battlefield is changing rapidly, and the war horse is the general's legs. If the horse cannot run fast, then it will be so uncomfortable for others to chase you and not be able to run away, and for you to chase others but not be able to catch up!

Therefore, if we really calculate according to historical data, Red Rabbit Horse is definitely a huge and extremely eye-catching large war horse.

It's just that it's really not easy to find such a war horse, not only now, but also in ancient times.

Someone has analyzed before, why Guan Yu failed to escape after losing Jingzhou carelessly?It's because the red rabbit horse is too old and can't run as fast as it did when it was young.

Guan Yu has not changed his horse for so many years, which shows that good horses like Red Rabbit Horse are too rare.

Therefore, the props team simply thought of other methods.

Since it's hard to find a real red rabbit horse, let's make a fake one that only looks like it!Anyway, to put it bluntly, the motion capture actors are all fakes.

The horse the props team looked for was a Shire horse, which is also the largest horse in the world.

However, this kind of horse cannot be used as a war horse, but can only be used as a draft horse, that is, to pull a cart.

Although it is very large, it has a gentle temperament, clumsy movements, poor reflexes, and its running speed is not as fast as other horses, so it is not suitable for use as a war horse.

But if it is purely used for riding, these become advantages.

After all, with such a big body, how can an actor control his temper if he has a bad temper?If he goes crazy at that time, a serious safety accident may occur.

In addition, the armor and Fang Tian's painted halberd prepared by the prop team are also different from those in the Lao Three Kingdoms.

Needless to say about the armor, in addition to the iconic pheasant feathers, the overall armor design style also leans towards the demonic style, making it look more powerful and domineering.

Fang Tian's painted halberd is also specially made, with crescents on both sides, and its shape is obviously specially designed.

In the painting books and murals from the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the halberd used by Lu Bu had both ears and one ear. This shows that the ancients were not sure whether Fang Tian's halberd had one ear or two ears.

Lao Sanguo uses a single ear, which may be to be close to history on the one hand, and to control the weight of the props on the other hand.

But now that the level of props has improved, and the game theme requires more exaggerated expressions, the prop group has become bolder.

Now, Fang Tian's painted halberd finally no longer looked like a toy in Yang Ming's hands.
