What we are going to film today is Zhang Ziyi who saw the killer disappear out of thin air at the scene where the congressman was killed, which reminded her of some things Jason said two years ago, so she came to Jason's house and wanted to find clues from him. But now Jason has become a lunatic and has a shaved beard. The bearded scene must be put at the front; otherwise, it will be more troublesome to shoot after shaved the beard.

Zhang Ziyi rode on a motorcycle with a very futuristic shape. When the command to "start" sounded, she got off the motorcycle and walked towards the door of the villa.

Zhang Ziyi was wearing a heavy-armed special police uniform and a helmet, and could not see her face. However, through her uncontrollable head, Zhang Ran could still feel her vigilance. The future world is a world where personal population is inflated and crime is serious. As a heavy-armed special police, they must keep this vigilance.

This lens is a waiting long lens, which means that the actor comes towards the camera and passes by the camera. Iranian film master Abbas is famous for the waiting long lens. The depth of the picture with this lens is particularly strong and has a strong sense of space.

Zhang Ziyi walked towards the camera with heavy steps. She seemed to have seen something, her body stuttered slightly, and then she accelerated her pace and walked out of the camera.

Zhang Ran was very satisfied with Zhang Ziyi's performance. After shouting to stop, he was about to ask how the recording was going. The recording engineer shouted: "Director, noise interference!"

Zhang Ran felt strange. The scene was very quiet, so where did the noise come from. He walked to the recording group, picked up the headphones, and signaled the recording engineer to turn on the sound.

The sound of farting was heard in the recording headphones, which was really earth-shaking. The first time Zhang Ran heard such a loud farting sound, he was directly overturned by thunder. Who played this? Could it be Zhang Ziyi?

In fact, it doesn’t matter who plays it, and Zhang Ran didn’t have the heart to worry about this. However, this shot will definitely not be used and must be reshooted!

Zhang Ran returned to his position and called Zhang Ziyi over: "Ziyi, the performance just now was very good. Although she was wearing a helmet, she still showed the vigilance of the special police. And you had a pause, that pause should be the reaction you had after seeing Jason, which was very good! Just act according to the state just now!"

Zhang Ziyi seemed to have been stimulated and coughed violently.

Zhang Ran asked, "Are you okay?"

Zhang Ziyi waved her hand straight: "I'm fine, director!" Thanks to her helmet, otherwise Zhang Ran would have seen a red face. Zhang Ziyi paused when she said that Zhang Ziyi did not see Jason, but farted.

Seeing that Zhang Ziyi was fine, Zhang Ran didn't say anything more and said loudly: "Let's do it again, and each group will prepare!"

The shooting started over, this time it went smoothly, and there were no problems with the sound. After getting the affirmative answer, Zhang Ran came to the dit digital workstation not far from the monitor to check the shooting effect.

Traditional film shooting directors can watch actors' performances with monitors, but the images seen by monitors are different from those taken by cameras. Many things including focal length and color cannot be reflected by the monitor and cannot see the actual picture effect.

After the Hollywood film is filmed, it will be sent to the film laboratory for printing. The next day, the director can see if there is any problem with the camera. There is no Hollywood condition in China, and after all the films are finished, the film will be washed in a concentrated manner. Only then will the director know what his film is like.

Using dit technology, you can view the final effect on the set. While the digital camera is shooting, there will be a wireless transmitter to send the shot to the workstation built by dit. They have a system that can accept such signals. After receiving this signal, the shot just now will be stored in the computer. The director can view the shot just now through the monitor; at the same time, the workstation will quickly copy the shot to the editor's hard drive next to it through the network cable, so that the editor can edit it directly on the spot.

dit is a new technology that has just been released in the past two years. Not to mention Ding Sheng, Zhao Fei, or Luc Besson, they have never seen it. They are all around the digital workstation, wanting to see how dit actually works.

Digital work is connected to a 15-inch laptop movie. The engineer di clicks on the play button, and the camera I just shot appears on the monitor.

After playing it repeatedly several times, Zhang Ran found no problem and asked Lucbesson and others: "What do you think?"

“No flaws, this is really good!”

"The composition, zoom, and performance of the lens are fine, it's great!"

Zhang Ran nodded and said to the di-dresser next to him: "Please adjust the color and make all the leaves on the background yellow, because the story takes place in autumn. Can it be done?"

The optician said proudly: "Of course, you can get any color and contrast you want!"

After saying that, the optical distribution engineer controlled the machine and circled the tree in the picture with the mouse. Then he selected green and adjusted the color according to Zhang Ran's requirements.

Zhang Ran kept asking: "The tree is too brown, it's a little lighter! The color of the leaves is a little lighter..."

In less than five minutes, the green leaves turned golden, and the picture changed from spring to autumn.

Lucbesson nodded slightly. This thing is so easy to use. This technology can be used in the next movies of his company, which can save a lot of trouble.

Ding Sheng was stunned and couldn't help but say, "This is so fucking advanced. Just get the color done on the spot!"

"In the next shot, the trees will adjust the color just now!" Zhang Ran said to the optometry master, stood up and shouted, "Prepare for the next shot!"

The crew members took action, pulled the camera and adjusted the lights. The actor's deputy director notified Reeves who was resting in the RV through headsets, and Lu Yan, who played his mother, was about to take the stage.

...

A sudden noise came from outside the yard, and then more than 20 people rushed in.

Zhang Ziyi was surprised to find that she actually recognized some of these people, such as Dr. Jiang Zhexin played by Liang Jiahui, and several senior officials from the Interpol headquarters. Others were soldiers with live ammunition.

"Why are you here?" Liang Jiahui turned into an old man through special makeup. His hair was gray and his face was wrinkled. He was 67 years old. He was a little surprised to see Zhang Ziyi, "What do you know?"

As soon as he said this, he realized that there was something wrong with his words and quickly changed the subject: "I mean, what are you doing here?"

Zhang Ziyi frowned slightly. She had a sense that these people appeared here and were related to the case she was investigating. She said quietly: "I'll talk to Jason."

"Talk?" Liang Jiahui looked at Zhang Ziyi's face suspiciously, "Then I have to interrupt you. Now I have to take this person away."

Zhang Ziyi was even more convinced of this and immediately said: "Please wait a moment, we were talking about the key points just now. He may be related to the case where the MP was killed yesterday!"

Liang Jiahui's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he stared at Zhang Ziyi: "It seems we must take you away together." He made a gesture, and the fully armed soldiers surrounded him.

Seeing this, Zhang Ziyi immediately took out her pistol, pointed it at the soldiers who were walking towards her, and shouted loudly: "Don't move!"

With a swish, more than a dozen soldiers aimed their weapons at Zhang Ziyi and were ready to fire at any time.

The air at the scene solidified and was so nervous that it was suffocating.

"Very good, stop!" Zhang Ran shouted.

After confirming that there is no problem with the sound and the picture, Zhang Ran stood up and announced: "Today's shooting ends here, thank you for your hard work!"

Everyone at the scene was applauding, which was not only an affirmation of the work of this day, but also an affirmation of oneself.

At 8 o'clock in the evening, the director team members, producers Neil and Luc Besson. Photographer Zhao Fei had a meeting in the hotel conference room to discuss the shooting plan the day after tomorrow. The filming plan of the crew in Hollywood is sent to everyone when the work is over. They must finalize the shooting plan the day after tomorrow, so that the production team can formulate a detailed plan and can only be sent to everyone when the work is over tomorrow.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Zhang Ran said, "Everyone has arrived, let's discuss the shooting plan the day after tomorrow."

Lucbesson reminded: "The insurance company's people have not come yet, wait!"

Zhang Ran pressed his forehead: "Why did I forget them!"

The Chinese members of the crew shook their heads helplessly. When filming in China, they were all directors and producers had the final say. But now the insurance company is the best, and everyone is a little uncomfortable.

Most of the funds in "Space-Time Warriors" are obtained through financing. For example, Zhang Ran and others borrowed 30 million from the bank through mortgaged pre-sale contracts. To obtain these financings, the other party asked the insurance company to provide a guarantee for the completion of the film. Simply put, the insurance company guarantees that the movie will definitely be completed and will not die in the middle. As long as the movie can be completed, the pre-sale contract can be fulfilled and investors can recover the investment.

Companies that provide film guarantees ensure that the film project can be completed on time. If the film exceeds the budget, the overspending part will be compensated by the insurance company. Once the insurance company pays the money, they will take over the film's production rights; if necessary, they can even fire the producer and replace the director.

In order to ensure that the movie is completed on time and does not overspend, insurance companies will closely monitor the movie and review every expenditure of the movie. All expenditures must be signed to be redeemed. During the shooting, they will watch all the materials on site and require the producer to submit production reports regularly.

By introducing the film-finishing guarantee, investors actually set up a strict production management process for the producers to truly ensure that the funds are implemented. Without such a system in mainland films, investors are regarded as fools by directors, especially some directors in Xiangjiang who are so cruel, with a straw hat worth thousands of yuan and a prop knife worth hundreds of thousands of yuan.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, the insurance company came. After they sat down, Zhang Ran expressed his opinion. It would be better to film Jason's scene in the mental hospital the day after tomorrow.

Insurers expressed their opposition: "Shots that cost money and risky must be shot first, and car chase scenes must be placed in front to reduce the risk of shooting!"

For Zhang Ran, the difference between shooting which one first and which one next is not particularly significant. It is meaningless to compete with the insurance company. If they don’t agree, they can’t cash the check. He nodded and said, “Yes, then I’ll shoot a car chase scene the day after tomorrow!”

Next, Zhang Ran and the others began to select the cameras, selecting the scenes that must be filmed on the street, and they can be filmed in the studio through green screen. By the time they finished their work, it was already eleven o'clock in the evening, and many people were already asleep.

After coming out of the conference room, Zhang Ran looked at Lukebesson and said, "The insurance company is watching it tightly, and I wish we would finish the film the day after tomorrow. I won't give it to you tomorrow!"

Luc Besson smiled and said, "Your most important task now is to make a good movie, making a movie better than anything else!"

Zhang Ran nodded: "Don't worry, our movie will definitely be a great success!" He looked at the time: "It's already very late, you can rest early. I'll go see my students!" The students in Zhang Ran's class were dispersed by him and were assigned to each group as assistants. They worked for a day today, and I don't know what they felt.

Lucbesson shook his head as Zhang Ran was leaving behind, sighed softly: "It's a very excellent young director. It's a pity to be finished like this!" (To be continued.)
