Indigenous method
Zhu Bajie took a cold bath to treat a cold, and in the next period of time, it became one of the most popular jokes on the crew.
As the protagonist of the incident, Ma Dehua often introduces his experience seriously while eating. What position should he use to enter the water and how long to soak in the water to achieve the most ideal therapeutic effect.
Every time I hear him talk about this vividly, it always makes the "audience" laugh.
Gu Bei also admires the spirit of the TV workers in this era for their joy in suffering.
It is really not a lie to say "hard".
Even if the crew is in the present situation, it is very poor.
The food and accommodation were a little bit worse, so everyone could overcome it and survive it. The real "hard" was the shooting conditions, which was not something that could be overcome by gritting their teeth.
It is not even a problem that can be solved by qualified on-site coordination. No matter how capable Gu Bei is, at most, he will coordinate the work of various departments at the shooting site, and he will need to prepare in advance.
There is no way to create a lot of high-tech equipment out of thin air to assist in the shooting!
Insufficient hardware is a common problem. The crew actually only has an old camera when filming a large-scale mythological drama like "Journey to the West". This incident itself is very mythological.
In any scene, you can't just cut the picture in a single direction, but what should you do if you have only one camera? You can only shoot one scene back and forth, repeatedly, and wait until all the pictures at all angles, and close-ups of the close-up scenes are taken.
It will end.
If this is the case, the actors will at most find it boring to repeat the shots, and photographer Wang Chongqiu will be exhausted.
After arriving in Yangzhou, Yang Jie called again and wrote a report. She applied to the station more than a dozen times, hoping to add at least one more camera.
But the reply from the station is: Comrade Yang Jie, Hello, about the questions you raised, there are currently no free cameras in the station to provide them. I hope that the comrades will carry forward the spirit of hard work, work hard to overcome all difficulties, and successfully complete the leadership assigned by the leader.
Task.
Wish you a smooth work!
hehe!
Gu Bei was really drunk after learning about Taiwan’s reply.
There are not enough cameras to shoot TV series, can you overcome one for me?
Could it be that a group of people were asked to paint on the spot and draw all the content to be taken?
All right!
Director Yang Jie has also given up seeking support from Taiwan.
It's useless to say it.
It's useless and even a lot of idleness, so why bother?
The camera problem cannot be solved, and the special stunt problem is even more difficult.
When the preparation team was just established, the most troublesome thing for everyone was the special stunt part. Sun Wukong's ever-changing changes, calling the wind and rain, flying clouds and fog, one after another, and there are all kinds of gods and demons with great powers...
At the meeting before the New Year, everyone proposed some local methods, but when they really turned on the computer, they found that many of them were not useful at all.
In this era when I don’t know what special stunts are, I have only heard of a blue screen cushion that can snatch people up on any background?
But no one has seen it, and has never experimented with it by himself.
Now the problem is in front of you. Even if you haven’t done it before, you can only try it with the courage.
The first time I used a special stunt when filming "The Demon-Removing the Monkey King" was the scene where the little monkey who became Sun Wukong jumped onto the table and talked to the prince.
On the day when I tried to do blue screen cushion, the crew successfully completed this shot, and the synthesis with the cushion base was also very smooth. Zhang Jinlai made a jump action, used an ado machine to make him smaller and jump along with him.
When the rhythm was raised, it was on the table.
After completing this synthesis, everyone was overjoyed, and some people thought that the so-called blue screen cushion was just like this and it was easy to master.
But no one expected that the problem would soon arise and things were far from as simple as imagined.
The picture presented by this Ado stunt machine specially imported from the United States is not three-dimensional. Trying to make the little monkey pick out rotate, the result is like a slamming machine, which feels like a shadow puppet.
At first, everyone thought it was because they didn’t master the tricks well because they used it for the first time, so they tried again and again, but no matter how hard they tried it, they still couldn’t do it.
Later, I called the station and asked, but I found out that this machine was just hardware. If it wanted to work normally, it also needed software cooperation, and a software cost 50,000 US dollars.
At the beginning, the people who sent to the United States to order this machine in Taiwan were reluctant to spend the money and didn't buy it. In other words, machines lacking software do not have the conditions to make people three-dimensional.
This is not nonsense!
Yang Jie was so angry that she scolded the street for half an hour.
The old lady's voice was hoarse.
After scolding the purchasing department in Taiwan, he then scolded the big American for being unkind.
The machine doesn’t cost much, and a software costs 50,000 yuan, and it’s not worth it. Why don’t you grab it?
Gu Bei didn't feel embarrassed to tell Director Yang Jie that Jingying also has such a machine, and for the same reason, it can only be used as a teaching aid now.
It's so satisfying to scold.
Director Yang Jie could only cheer up and go back to the battle. Those who could make do with it had to be done first, while those who couldn't make do with it had to be solved by local methods.
I used to be using that machine as a treasure, but now when I see it, I can't count on this rags at all. It's just a life, not a good choice.
A small number of lenses can be used as a matter of use, but some parts are not.
In the episode "The Kingdom of Demons and Black Chicken", there is a fight between Yaodao and Sun Wukong. After fighting on the ground, they have to continue fighting in the sky. Obviously, this requires special stunts.
At the beginning, the crew placed two actors in front of the blue screen to shoot a "cutting" scene, but no matter how the actors performed, they did not feel like they were empty.
What to do?
Of course Gu Bei has a way, just hold the Wiya.
But he held back this and did not dare to mention it to Director Yang Jie.
Because he only has a very general concept about Wiya. He was not from the film and television industry in his previous life. He didn’t know what equipment he needed to ensure the safety of the actors!
If I really talk to Yang Jie and the others, Gu Bei would guarantee that in the next shooting, the actor would dare to go to heaven if he tied a wire rope around his waist.
That's not a Wiya, it's a life-threatening effort.
Gu Beike didn't want the crew to lose more than he had an immature suggestion.
Don’t think that Gu Bei is worrying too much. These days, people are prone to passionate about their passion. With the words "revolutionary work needs", they dare to launch a charge even if they are in front of them.
This road doesn't work, but Gu Bei has another way, one...
Local methods.
Gu Bei was a sports fan in his previous life. He was a must-see in every major competition, especially in the Olympics. He also had to pay attention to staying up late. His favorite event was gymnastics.
There is a small chord in gymnastics called a trampoline.
After Gu Bei and Director Yang Jie talked, they went to Jiangsu Sports Brigade the next day. When they came back, they brought a few... diving athletes.
There is no trampoline program these days, but diving athletes use it during training.
So, while borrowing people, Gu Bei even borrowed the trampoline.
Then he found a very empty place in the wild. The two athletes put on the clothes of Sun Wukong and the demon Taoist, and flew happily on the trampoline, soaring into the air. Teacher Wang Chongqiu was below.
Shooting upwards.
Seeing that the effect was good, Sun Wukong also recorded many of his jumps, flying, and somersaults. Maybe these shots can still be used in the future.
The local methods were used, and then other departments of the crew simply took out all the stupid methods.
For example, the recording problem, given the existing conditions of the crew, there is no possibility of recording at the same time.
Of course, even if you have it, you can't record it at the same time, because the actors come from all over the country, with accents and accents, often speaking lines to each other, and no one can understand what the other person is saying.
"fool!"
"Brother Monkey, what did Neng say?"
Gu Bei stays on the set every day, and often laughs so hard that he can't stand up because of the actors who are playing the same scene.
Moreover, the shooting environment was very noisy. After learning that the crew of "Journey to the West" was filming in Yangzhou, a large group of onlookers came in a few days.
Every time the crew appears, it will immediately cause a sensation. During the filming, there are people around, and there are better people lying on the trees. As soon as Sun Wukong appeared, the scene was like a carnival and cheered.
Gu Bei talked to the onlookers countless times, but it didn't work at all. Director Yang Jie came forward in person and agreed very well at that time, but when it was time to speak and shout, there was no delay at all.
In the end, the crew's recording engineer thought of a solution. During the day, he simply did not receive the radio and filmed it as a silent film. When the crew finished filming and the crowd dispersed, he would come to record it on the spot.
In order to achieve live effects, the recording team dubbed the filming place of the crew.
If it is a play in a cave, go to the cave to match it. If it is a play by a river, go to the river to match it. In this way, the sound of flowing water, the sound of birds, and the echo of the cave can be perfectly presented.
It's right.
In addition to dubbing the actors, they also ran to various places such as woods, ponds, and even graves to record the noise of the environment for the use of the big background in the dark.
After hearing this, Gu Bei was so impressed that he was so impressed that he ran to the cemetery in the middle of the night to record the sound. The one recorded a mythological story. Aren’t you afraid?
However, this method didn't work for a long time.
Although the idea is good, the workload is too high. The recording team needs to work overtime day and night. After a long time, the body cannot hold on.
The crew needs to add many staff to this, which is completely unworthy of the gains.
This time it was Li Chengru's turn to appear. The ideas he provided were amazing. The masses like to watch!
No problem, the crew simply traveled off the clock, and the time difference was between the onlookers.
If it doesn't work, just spread false news and tell people to film in Nanshantou today. When people ran over there, the crew had already finished filming the trick in Beishantou.
"Brother Li, you said if I told them that you came up with this idea, would they beat you to death?"
Gu Bei's light words made Li Chengru's proud smile froze on his face.
Chapter completed!
