This director needs to apologize

Chapter 74 Looks small but is actually very big
Chen Yiming's attempt to coerce Lao Sha and sway Lao Gao failed before it was carried out, because he took out his mobile phone and discovered that there was no signal at all.

Captain Fan handed him a satellite phone with a smile. When he took it, Uncle Gao's voice came from the phone.

"Boy Chen, what are you doing? Didn't I say that I needed to find Deputy Director Sun?"

Chen Yiming offered his flattery first, "The demand this time is extraordinary. I think it would be more appropriate to approach you directly."

Lao Gao refused to accept this trick and pushed him back directly, "Stop pouring me the ecstasy soup and tell me what you want to do first."

Chen Yiming corrected his tone and briefly introduced the dispute between the crew and the crew before making the request.

"We need a first-generation jet to assist in the shooting, and its appearance will be modified into the style of the Nut Air Force F-84, the kind nicknamed the Oil Picker."

Lao Gao was not surprised that airplanes were needed for filming. It was not once or twice that the Bayi Factory made movies and the military region assisted in providing helicopter aerial photography.

It's just that children nowadays are more playful, and they actually skip the propeller and directly build the jet.

Lao Gao didn't show any restraint and directly agreed.

"Okay, let me help you contact the 320 Factory in Gan Province. The K-18 training aircraft from their factory has a straight wing. Two auxiliary fuel tanks can barely be used as oil picks, but the air intake on the fuselage cannot be changed into a nose. Take in the air and let’s take some pictures.”

Chen Yiming wanted to fight for it again, licking his face and asked, "Uncle Gao, can a plane without nose air intake be modified? The difference is too big. You can't even take pictures of the plane's front face."

Lao Gao directly pushed him back, "Nonsense, an old antique from 60 years ago, who would dare to fly into the sky recklessly, and you will be responsible if something goes wrong? That's it, love or not."

Lao Gao made a call, which made Chen Yiming look disgraced, and then he put down the phone.

Chen Yiming handed the phone back to Captain Fan with a grimace. After thinking for a while, he asked Lin Xiao, "Brother Lin, you said that for the airplane shots, can we go directly to the special effects?"

Lin Xiao was silent for a moment, apparently simulating it in his mind, then shook his head and replied.

“It’s true that you can set an editing point here and change the next shot directly to a special effects clip, but it’s hard to guarantee that there won’t be any problems, and the possibility of things getting messed up is very high.

After all, there is a real plane flying in the sky, and then we add ballistics, water splashes, and screams through special effects. There is nothing in the sky, and then we forcefully build a plane to fly up in the later stage. The final effect is completely different.

Moreover, the plane not only hovers in the sky, we also have to make it approach, dive, and pull up. The process must be brought to the real scene, and it is completely impossible to do it all with special effects.

I wouldn’t recommend even a conventional war movie, let alone a one-shot shot of ours.

Yiming, compared to serious flaws in the texture of the picture, I would rather tolerate a little bit of props. "

Chen Yiming made up his mind to use a K-18 trainer aircraft and put some thought into the lens design, exposing more buttocks and less head.

He put the matter aside, stretched out his pointer and pointed at Highland 470, and continued to talk about the subsequent scenery plan.

“Then, let’s settle this section of crossing the river for the time being.

When the messenger group was crossing the river, they encountered enemy planes approaching for reconnaissance, followed by strafing, and then were driven away by fire from our 589 Highland.

After the two men successfully crossed the river, they headed north along the woods on the east side of Hill 470 until they reached the outskirts of the enemy camp on the north side of Hill 470.

The plot mainly involves our lone soldier leading the two messengers around the woods. Finally, the soldier takes the initiative to expose himself in reverse, covering the two men to avoid the enemy patrol.

In terms of scene, the entire process is a natural landscape, with only a few warning positions of the 1st Cavalry Division. "

Chen Yiming stopped and looked at Paul, and Xiaomei started interpreting at the right time.

"Paul, this section will be filmed with the Steadicam throughout. You and your assistant will go through it several times and plan out the movement route and all the footholds. Lin Xiao will coordinate with Captain Fan to carry out construction modifications."

After Paul understood, he raised his thumbs and said OK.

No one had any objections, and Chen Yiming began to talk about the counterclockwise circle.

"Uncle Fan, you are better than me at how to build a howitzer position and how wide it is.

Without violating the principles of military science, I hope to make it as big as possible, so that when you look at it, you will feel that there are many gun barrels and it will shock your soul.

On the periphery of the artillery position, there must be cover positions, machine gun nests, and observation posts. Teacher Sang and Lin Xiao are responsible for planning a route that not only allows the order team to sneak through in a reasonable manner, but also allows the camera to carry as many artillery pieces as possible. "Seeing several people nodding in approval, Chen Yiming continued down, pointing his pointer at the winding valley south of the artillery position.

"Fan Tuan, this location is the widest part of the valley. You need to clear away the trees to create an open space, and then build several mortar positions.

The plot uploading team will encounter a small-scale battle here. Our army's reconnaissance team faces the 1st Cavalry Division Rangers.

To put it simply, it was a sniper battle between elite soldiers from both sides, using a plum blossom-shaped abandoned mortar position as a bunker. "

Chen Yiming looked at Lin Xiao, "Brother Lin, there will be lens switching here. We will go back to field test the specific lens design, but if nothing unexpected happens, we need to build a smooth hard road outside the mortar position so that the camera truck can enter it." field.

Especially for the last scene where the main characters are running on the run, the Steadicam was not available and they had to use a camera truck. "

Lin Xiao took notes in his notebook and nodded to indicate he understood.

Chen Yiming pointed to the ridge on the right side of Tianma Mountain and said, "Everyone, the highlight is next.

I don’t know what the land that has been repeatedly ravaged by heavy artillery and aerial bombs should look like, but we must make the audience believe that what our movie shots show is the place where our soldiers endured hard and endured on the battlefield on the peninsula.

Uncle Fan, I absolutely believe in your professionalism in this regard. Whether it is blasting with explosives, digging with an excavator, or even blasting it directly with real cannons and real shells, I only care about the final effect.

Paul, except for the hidden squat shot before departure, the rest of this section is all Steadicam, it’s up to you. "

The big guy continued to give a thumbs up in return.

Chen Yiming's pointer finally pointed at Tianma Mountain with the small red square flag.

"Uncle Fan, you must have heard the recording of Li Yucheng, who witnessed the battle. In the Battle of Tianma Mountain in war history, the reason why our army was able to persist for 7 days and 7 nights was due to the unique geographical conditions of this mountain.

There are many implementation difficulties in the construction of the main position.

First, how to restore the big rocks on the top of the mountain.

It is impossible for us to get a real stone and move it to the top of the mountain. We can only use props to make a fake stone.

Moreover, the stone cannot be made of paper, it must have a sense of weight, and prop bullets must have ricochet marks and a sense of impact when they hit it. "

Chen Yiming looked at the props team composed of the elites of Moying Factory and Bayi Factory. The two leaders have arrived today, namely Lu Ping, the senior props master of Moying Factory, and Yang Xiaoguang, the props team leader of Bayi Factory.

The two looked at each other, and Lu Ping replied, "Don't worry, Director Chen, we will come up with a plan as soon as possible."

Chen Yiming nodded and continued, "The next step is how to construct the tunnel for the main position.

Uncle Fan, I know that engineers and soldiers are experts in drilling mountains and digging holes, but this time is different, because our movie is shot in one shot, and there must be room for camera movement in the cave.

At the same time, we cannot let the audience see that the cave is actually very big. From their perspective, the tunnel is dark, dark, and narrow, so that they can have a sense of immersion.

In addition, don’t forget that while the protagonist is leading the audience to experience the tunnel, the bombing outside is still going on all the time, so there must be soil falling on the top of the head and the earthquake must be felt under the feet. "

Captain Fan, who had always been confident today, was confused for the first time after hearing Chen Yiming's needs.

How to do this?
It looks small, but it's actually very big.

First widen the hole and then build a floor-to-ceiling?
It seems that this is not fortification, but decoration.

And if the hole is dug too big, wouldn’t it be more difficult to realize the soil falling and the earthquake?
How to lose soil?Do people squat on the ceiling and sprinkle it?
As for how to achieve the earthquake sensation, Captain Fan has no clue at all.

Everyone in the room was lost in thought.

The photography team was thinking about how to move the camera in the cramped potholes and how to change the perspective.

The props team was thinking about the same thing as Captain Fan, how to realize the shock caused by heavy artillery shells through the scenery.

Chen Yiming was not surprised by everyone's silence. If he hadn't seen a lot of movie highlights in his previous life, he wouldn't have been able to think of a solution for a while.
