King of Special Effects

Chapter 164 - , Blocked shooting!



Due to various factors, the progress of the shooting of “Heroes” was pitifully slow. It took nearly a month for Dunhuang to finish the filming of the scene here.

With so many people in the crew, every extra day is money.

During this period of time, the restoration work of Shule City in Qi County was basically completed.

This place is going to be filming “The Titans” theme. Two-thirds of the whole movie is to be completed here, and many difficult dramas are also concentrated here.

Looking at the newly restored Shule City, Yi Yang felt a little: “Although I don’t know how this city in history is, the one we built is really a bit small.”

“It took so much money to build so much. If we expand, the more money we spend, the greater the risk of our drama.”

This film has invested so much money that it will have to wait until it is released.

Without waiting for the release, it is useless to imagine these things now. The arrow is on the string. Even if there are any more difficulties, it is necessary to complete the scene for the filming.

“Notify the crew to move in, let the prop crew come over first to arrange the scene.”

······

In mid-November, it was snowing in Qixian County, and the temperature dropped to minus zero. At the foot of this mountain, it wasn’t cold. The shooting progress of the “Heroes” crew was blocked again.

In the hotel where the county theater crew stayed, most of the staff were wrapped in quilts and did not want to come out.

Compared to the flying snow outside, this bed is more comfortable.

Yi Yang, wrapped in a military coat, looked at the Tianshan Mountains in the distance with a telescope through the window, and said nothing in the morning.

Ling Lan couldn’t help worrying about him, so he made a cup of tea and came behind him, saying, “I’ve watched it all morning, what do you want?”

“It took nearly two-fifths to shoot the whole drama without nearly two-fifths. I spent almost 20 million yuan on it. I didn’t shoot a single shot and it was so snowy. Every day I spent was money. You should come here so anxiously, how good it is to start shooting after a holiday.”

“It’s not impossible to start a holiday now, anyway, the weather can’t be filmed.”

“All the stage has been set up, or still can’t sing, helpless!”

The two reporters sent by Penguin Video to make a documentary interviewed some staff members in the hotel these days, and they came carrying the camera from room to room.

The two of them have been following this way since the shooting of the Titans, and today they are also trapped in this snow-stricken Qixian County and suffering.

Yi Yang looked at the weather forecast tomorrow, although the snow would not continue to fall, but the weather was still bad.

He put together several leaders of the crew and held a small meeting: “The weather conditions tomorrow are not very good. We can’t spend it here every day. I suggest that we wait three more days if the weather is still not there. If it gets better, the crew will start on holiday.”

“We went back home and started filming in a few years.”

Aming reluctantly said: “Now is it nearly three months before the New Year? This is the beginning of the holiday, something is wrong.”

It takes three months to say whether it is long or short or short. If the progress is smooth, you can finish a movie in three months.

Yi Yang really didn’t want to waste these three months of time: “Wait another week, depending on the situation.”

······

Yi Yang’s shooting in Qixian was blocked, and Gan Xiaofeng’s shooting progress in Hengdian was quite smooth.

The only bad thing is that the weather is a bit cold, and the actors and staff can’t stand it. Therefore, in addition to the shooting, the crew set up two empty gasoline barrels on the scene and burned two fires for heating.

Gan Xiaofeng, who was in front of the monitor in the tent, watched the playback of the several shots he had just finished shooting this morning, and said casually: “If there is no accident, we can finish shooting the scene many years ago. All lenses are reviewed, and if there is a problem, make up the shot as soon as possible. Don’t drag and drop at that time, trouble.”

“We will spend a long time in the post-production of this drama now, and we can hurry up in the early work tasks, notify everyone to shoot a few night scenes tonight, and close the work around 10:30 in the evening.”

Gan Xiaofeng divided the drama of “Fairy Story” into three groups, and each group started shooting different scenes at different locations at the same time, and the shooting speed was several times that of Yi Yang’s “Tiger”.

The news about the filming progress of the drama was not revealed online. If Yi Yang knew that his drama was stagnant due to the weather, and Gan Xiaofeng had progressed so smoothly, he had to breathe his breath.

“Fairy Story” is a costume fantasy drama, adapted from the novel. The investment of about 200 million yuan makes this crew very grand and magnificent.

With the presence of Gan Xiaofeng, an old fritters director, mastering such a crew is a breeze.

Guided by Gan Xiaofeng, coupled with high investment in special effects, this drama is also very interesting.

In the ‘Audience Anticipation Movie List’ on a certain website, “Xian Luo Ji” has an expectation value of more than 10 million, ranking first.

This second place is Yi Yang’s “Heroes”, and the expected value of more than 8 million seems to lag far behind.

Although Yi Yang has gained a high reputation through “Zi Gao Di”~www.mtlnovel.com~ but from the perspective of the audience, Yi Yang is only a new director after all, and the ancient wars like “Tiger” are not popular. The subject matter is easy to hit the street, and domestic film production has always been crude.

Comedy movies that make people easy and enjoyable dominate, and commercial blockbuster that claims to have invested more than 100 million yuan is a waste.

Domestic audiences are extremely disappointed with the domestically produced movies, and generally have a pessimistic attitude towards domestically produced movies.

This is not unreasonable. After all, in recent years, Hollywood blockbusters have been flooded with major domestic movie theaters. The superb production has made a very striking contrast between the special effects and the domestic movies.

After watching the Hollywood special effects blockbuster, I will take a look at the domestic nonsense. Many viewers only feel that their IQ is rubbed against the ground.

This time Yi Yang touched such a theme, and the first thing I thought about was to shoot. On the other hand, if you want to change the status of the domestic movie full screen, you have to start with this relatively unpopular theme.

Being able to do a good job on the subject matter of the unpopular, and then going on to involve other subject matter is naturally a matter of course.

Yi Yang has devoted himself to this movie.

The plot was pondered over and over again, and it was decided after discussing with Jiang Zhi and several people.

It is Yiyang’s best sincerity to restore props and scenes and invest millions to restore this Shule City.

As for the special effects, there is the “I Ching” in hand, and he is not worried at all.

Propaganda, this strength needs to be strengthened, mainly still need to invest more publicity costs.

Yi Yang looked at the Tianshan Mountains in the distance, then looked at the snow all over the sky and the deep snow that had been integrated nearly a meter thick downstairs.

“When the snow falls like this, when will it be?”
