Although this is related to historical allusions, in fact, the story has already changed.
It's not difficult to shoot most of the scenes, but the war scene alone is the most troublesome part of this scene.
Controlling the shooting of hundreds or even thousands of people is not a simple task.
Even with the help of a well-trained army, these group scenes and war scenes still kept Wang Yifan from having a headache for more than a month.
When I was watching a movie, I saw the war scene in the movie, and the first thing I looked at was the distant view and the scene of the military confrontation.
The second look at the details, the details of the battle between the two armies, and the third look at persuade.
As we all know, group dramas are always the hardest to shoot. The more people there are, the more details you have. Even if you don't want to be prominent, you can't make any mistakes in a glimpse, otherwise, this lens will not work.
However, compared to Wang Yifan's movie which has been shot for more than two months, Xu Cang seems to be more troublesome.
There is no problem with the male and female protagonists in "Liansi Opera". It is much easier to find than Wang Yifan. The trouble lies in the props.
Especially, the puppets of the Qiansi play.
Wang Yifan went to see it before, and the special effects company commissioned by Xu Cang designed several versions, but none of them were satisfactory.
In fact, the biggest problem is that even Xu Cang himself is a little uncertain about what kind of puppet he wants.
Wang Yifan was the same. Xu Cang was anxiously questioned, so he gave a way to follow his feelings.
Then, those people who suffered from aurora special effects.
No, they designed another one. Xu Cang called Wang Yifan and wanted the author Wang Yifan to see if it fits the puppeteer in his mind that can make silk opera performers infatuated.
Among the special effects companies in China, Aurora special effects are actually relatively strong.
The main point is that the shareholders of Aurora Special Effects are all from a few big giants, so it can be said that they are special effects companies raised by a large production.
In terms of ability, perhaps Aurora special effects are not as good as Hollywood's top special effects companies in some technical aspects, but most of the effects can actually be achieved.
Just like Chen Hang’s previous sci-fi movies and Yang Long’s movies, most of the special effects were done by aurora special effects.
This time, Chen Hang was ambitious and wanted to surpass Yang Long, so he chose to go abroad to find a top special effects company for cooperation.
Special effects is not to say that the strength of domestic special effects technicians is worse than that of top foreign special effects companies. The reason for the technical gap is mainly because the research on special effects technology does not necessarily rely on the brain, but Money is human and material resources.
Why did Hollywood special effects companies become the world's top?
The main reason is that they have a huge market, and the current market capacity of China is definitely hard to compare with North America.
In China, the production cost of 100 million US dollars is already a super big production, but when it comes to Hollywood, 100 million can only be said to be the initial stage of a blockbuster.
At the door of Aurora Special Effects Company, Wang Yifan saw Xu Cang.
"Why are you waiting here?" Wang Yifan asked with some amusement.
"I'm not worried about being disappointed again?" Xu Cang smiled bitterly.
"Let's go, go take a look, and don't ask too much. After all, clever women can't cook without rice. You don't know what effect model you want. How can you let people give you a satisfactory answer? "Wang Yifan can't stand and speak at all.
Xu Cang couldn't help rolling his eyes, and said, "It seems that you are the screenwriter of this film. You should have more say than me."
"Haha, you are the director, you know, this is your movie, I don't mean to interfere." Wang Yifan quickly dismissed it.
"Director Wang, Director Xu, you can count!" A middle-aged man in his thirties greeted him with a wry smile.
Both Wang Yifan and Xu Cang were a little embarrassed.
"Let's go and see the latest design results." Meng Fei rushed to me and took Xu Cang's hand.
When they entered the model design studio of Aurora Special Effects, Wang Yifan and Xu Cang were a little surprised, because this time, the Aurora Special Effects side directly sampled all the models, not just the design.
It's just that both Wang Yifan and Xu Cang frowned because...
The model in front of them gave them some not-so-healthy ideas.
"Is that this?" Xu Cang coughed twice.
"Isn't this what? I asked you to design the puppet model of the puppet theater, but I didn't let you make this kind of silicone doll." Xu Cang finally couldn't help pointing at the lifelike legendary rubber doll.
Because this is too shame!
"Ahem, Director Xu, you have misunderstood, this, this is not." Chen Fangyuan, the design director in charge of designing the model, said with an embarrassed expression.
"Ah? No? Then this..." Xu Cang was also a little embarrassed but also a little confused.
"Ahem, this is what we bought from the island country for reference, and this is not an ordinary inflatable silicone doll. This is the latest model of a simulated girlfriend robot from the island country! The clothes we put on, hehe !" Chen Fangyuan coughed twice and explained.
Not to mention, island countries may not work, such as movies, which are generally typical of self-entertainment, well, in fact, most domestic movies are also self-entertaining.
However, the island country is really blessed with Chengren toys, probably because there are too many otaku nerds, or the reason why this is a magical country.
Anyway, this simulated girlfriend robot, apart from other factors, huh, it really looks like a real person.
"Ahem, Director Xu, this is our latest design." Chen Fangyuan said, pressing the switch of the remote control in his hand.
Then, Wang Yifan and the others saw a 3D projector showing a simulated human model.
"According to Director Xu’s request, we will use wood-like materials to make this model. However, as Director Xu said, the model should not be too large, because the puppet master must carry it with him, and in the film, the puppet will be colored. Therefore, we designed a modular puppet model..." Chen Fangyuan explained.
"Because it is a puppet, it also needs to have the characteristics of wood material, so in terms of connection, we designed a moderate mechanization, of course, it can also be adjusted, low mechanization, and the flexibility of a human being." Chen Fangyuan continued to explain.
However, Xu Cang still frowned slightly.
"What do you think?" Xu Cang looked at Wang Yifan with some uncertainty.
This is indeed the case, it has been delayed for too long.
"How do you say? It still doesn't feel right!"
"However, actually I think we have fallen into a misunderstanding?" Wang Yifan suddenly added.
"Misunderstanding?" Xu Cang looked puzzled.
