"So, what are you observing just now? What are you discussing? I always feel that what is happening here is beyond imagination."

Felicity asked in a relaxed tone.

Lan Li could perceive the subtle changes in the air, but he didn't ask too much. He just followed Felicity's question, turned his head and looked behind him, "Are you asking about this? You definitely won't believe it. , The crew is preparing to build the entire coastline here."

"What?" Felicity thought she had heard it wrong, and couldn't help asking again.

Lan Li laughed directly and nodded in affirmation, "I know, and I can't believe it, so I came here to ask."

"You mean, the coastline? The coastline I know? They are going to build the coastline in the studio?" Felicity's eyes brightened, and the light of curiosity and excitement was gleaming, "But why? ?Why not go to the coast to shoot on the spot?"

"We will also go to the coast to shoot on the spot, Maldives. But for some shots, especially those that require a lot of computer special effects, it will be very difficult to shoot on the spot. In addition to the green screen settings, there is also the interference of weather factors. You also know The beach and the weather are difficult to control." Lan Li has a lot of experience in shooting large-scale films, and he has a more profound understanding of the control of these links.

Of course, Lan Li hasn't filmed the whole work before the green screen/blue screen in the studio. That may be another matter.

Garys Edwards is also a director who admires the quality of the picture. It can be seen from the two works of "Monster" and "Godzilla". When conditions permit, he also knows the shooting and studio The difference between internal shooting, he is still more inclined to the texture presented by the on-site shooting.

Unfortunately, the background of the "Rogue One" story takes place in space, coupled with the "Star Wars series" settings for battleships, weapons, spaceships, etc., this is also doomed to the difficulty of shooting on the spot, most of the scenes must be It is completed in the studio, and then all the production is completed by the post-computer special effects.

Despite this, Garis still applied for location shooting in the Maldives, Ireland, Jordan and other places, hoping to create as realistic as possible; Catherine Kennedy agreed to Garris's application. As for the scenes restricted by objective factors, they are still completed in the studio.

As a result, there is the current coastline. Back then, James Cameron created the vast ocean in the studio and completed the shooting of the "Titanic"; now, the technology is updated and they can be in the studio. Create the sea and the beach, and the effect is more realistic.

But for Felicity, this is the first time ever, everything is fresh, as if returning to the newcomer season that just entered Hollywood.

"I know, I understand, but...but!" Felicity's eyes widened, but there were so many questions that she didn't know where to start, and finally abandoning Lan Li, ran all the way to the front. :

shocked.

The scene in front of me is not spectacular but not messy. I don't know how to describe it. Anyway, it is far from the imagination in my mind.

This is a huge sandpit and a spacious pool-trucks are continuously dumping the soft fine sand of the beach, creating a beach line about 100 yards; the pool is the size of a university campus swimming pool, but because of the surrounding area Because of the dark blue plastic board, it looks a bit cheap, and there is a blue screen at the end of the line of sight, which completely blocks the view and extension of the line of sight, and limits the boundary of the swimming pool.

In terms of scale, it is indeed very large. The beach and swimming pool occupy nearly two thousand square feet of area. Even if you run wildly, it takes several minutes to circle around. For the photography base, such area usage is definitely a luxury. A space the size of nearly two studios.

From a distance, it looks like a busy construction site, which is magnificent-when the car passed by, Felicity's attention could not help but be attracted, and she did not expect such a scene to appear in the photography base. Even Lan Li is no exception.

But from the quality point of view, the details are very rough, and there is no detail at all. It is completely a crude semi-finished product, empty with sand and no artistic conception, empty with swimming pool and no edges. It is nondescript and cannot be accurately defined. It is really dumbfounded and unimaginable. What will the finished product look like.

"...How?" Felicity was full of question marks, and in the end he just suffocated this word.

Lan Li's eyes were obviously cheerful, and the look of his brows made people clearly feel his excitement and excitement, "This is why people call the movie magic-they transported sand and water tanks, and then next Plants will be transported from all over England, and 60 palm trees will be airlifted from Spain to build a whole beach. Here we will complete a series of blue screen performances in the shed, seamlessly connecting with the Maldivian studio."

These are all things that Lan Li learned after talking with the staff. Even though Lan Li has seen many big scenes, he still can't help but marvel at the mastery of top blockbuster movies.

"In addition, they also built a model of the entire Maldives studio with a reduction ratio of one to ten, just like a Barbie doll's house. Some aerial special effects or pictures of destroyed buildings can all be shot in the model. On the one hand, it can be more realistic, and on the other hand, it can save costs."

Lan Li's explanation was only a few words, and he successfully sketched the picture in Felicity's mind, and he had to lament the great imagination of these technicians.

After a brief shock, Felicity gradually came back to her senses, and then another question spawned, "But, if you work so hard, doesn’t it cost more production costs? I mean, compared to shooting on the spot. , Or is it better to just use computer special effects to make it all?"

After asking a lot of questions, Felicity realized that she hadn't clarified her thoughts, and she still lacked understanding of these behind-the-scenes technical links. Even if it was a question, she didn't know where to start, and the question seemed chaotic. Sorry, I mean..."

"I understand." Lan Li nodded to express his understanding, which made Felicity look at Lan Li in surprise. The agitation of the common language made both of them laugh, "This is what I am most curious about. Question-I asked Christopher Nolan before, but I couldn't get the answer. He was even willing to spend six months planting a cornfield for visual effects, so I think this should not be his concern."

Tucao's tone was too easy, and Felicity smiled chucklingly.

"Obviously, in accordance with the normal operation of the industry, recycling is a means that every crew must learn. If everything goes well for our shooting in the Maldives, then the resolution of the matter is also very simple. It is enough to transfer to other crews. There are other systems. It would be great if the film company was willing to accept it."

"But if the work on the Maldives studio is not successfully completed because of the weather conditions, or the effect of the film is not as expected, then the crew has also made a second-hand preparation. We will choose another venue nearby to rebuild the Maldives. On-site. The sand and water tanks can be used here, and they will not be wasted easily."

"Especially water resources. Whether it is another company taking over or rebuilding the Maldivian studios by ourselves, we will return here after the water resources are used up. After the purification is completed, we wait for the next crew to recycle.

The concise and clear explanation gave Felicity an eye-opener, "So, are you also in the "Interstellar" crew?"

"According to the original intention, Chris obviously did not consider so much, because many situations were not planned in advance when shooting the film, you know; but the end result was positive. Our crew’s cornfield harvest was good. Later After reselling it, I actually made a lot of money and saved a lot of costs for the crew." Lan Li replied sincerely with a full face.

Felicity was about to say something, but got stuck in his throat, and paused for a moment~www.novelhall.com~ Then he realized that Lan Li was not joking, "Jesus Christ!"

Lan Li shrugged.

Felicity laughed uncontrollably, faintly feeling a little absurd and weird, maintaining a state of dumbfounding, "I can't understand the way your large crew works, all this is too weird."

"Then what you should know is that I just asked, our crew should be three times as large as Interstellar, and maybe more." Lan Li lightly dropped a blockbuster, "and It’s bigger than the crew of Jurassic World. This is also a new first time for me."

The entire crew of "Rogue One" has more than 400 people. This is the first "400 people" crew in the history of Lanly, and it is second to none in the entire Hollywood-as can be seen from the budget size, Catherine Kennedy approved a $200 million cost budget for this work with a big wave.

The cost of "Interstellar Crossing" is 165 million, and the cost of "Jurassic World" is 150 million. This also means that the first work costing 200 million yuan in Ren Li's career was born, and the scale and posture have risen to another level-this is now the largest first-level work in Hollywood.

Felicity opened her mouth, her fawn-like eyes solidified, and she couldn't make any response for a while. Only now did she have a real sense of reality: What kind of work has she joined? What kind of responsibility do you shoulder? What kind of behemoth is he facing.

The stunned look made Lan Li chuckle directly, leaned forward slightly, and said in Felicity's ear, "Be careful of mosquitoes flying into your mouth."

Snapped.

Felicity closed his eyes immediately, but made a weird noise, like a robot.
