The requirement for shooting is very high to combine short lenses into long lenses. In real shots, the direction of movement of the camera is preset. All other elements such as the actor's movement, performance, car movement and stop, and even the house must be precisely in place. As long as there is a slight mistake, it cannot be connected, and you can only reshoot it.

Before the actual shooting, Zhang Ran and others carefully calculated the camera, simulated the camera's movement with a computer, and then tapped the shooting plan after confirming it is feasible. When shooting, they were strictly followed by the shooting plan, and each lens was moved at an accurate pace.

The editor connected a short picture of the sky behind the scene of Song Zhu'er flying in the paper plane, and then connected the scene of Zhang Jingchu buying fish in the vegetable market behind the sky. The whole shot was connected together. Song Zhu'er's paper plane flew out of the community and flew to the vegetable market next to the community. Zhang Jingchu was selling fish in the vegetable market. Today is the day when my sister-in-law returns home, and as a sister-in-law, she must be well served. In front of the fish stall selling fish in the vegetable market, Zhang Jingchu found that it was rare to buy fresh fish. Today is very large and the price is very cheap, so she asked what was going on? The fish seller told her that it has been strange these days, and the fish is very easy to beat.

The shot of Zhang Jingchu buying fish was taken in front of the green screen. After the shot was connected, the special effects editor simply synthesized the background, replaced the green screen with the background of the vegetable market, and then adjusted the color, added music, and added sound effects.

After the editor put the sample together, everyone felt that the lens connection was quite good. The only problem was that after the two lenses were connected, there was no paper airplane in the second half, and the real effect was not seen.

Zhang Ran turned to the painter and said, "Draw a paper airplane and add it to see how it works!"

There are many special effects shots in "Tangshan Earthquake", and many shots need to be synthesized. For example, when a person is hit by a telephone pole falling from the air, it is impossible to really use a telephone pole to smash the actors. The actors will first do the action of being hit, and then add the telephone pole to synthesize the effect of being hit by a person. However, during the shooting, the special effects are not done well and it takes a long time to do it. It is impossible to immediately show the effect for the director on the spot. Therefore, there are often special drawing masters on the scene. As long as the director needs it, they will tell him to draw a telephone pole and a background for me. He can draw a telephone pole, a background, and then add it to the picture to let the director see the effect.

The drawing master quickly drew a paper plane and added it to the picture. So the whole picture became. Song Zhuer flew the paper plane into the sky. The paper plane hovered in the air, flew out of the community, flew to the vegetable market next to it, and flew to the stall where Zhang Jingchu was buying fish.

Of course, since the paper plane is hand-painted, it looks fake, but this is not important. The paper plane made of special effects will be replaced later, which is real. Now it is mainly to see whether the motion of the lens is smooth after the paper plane is added. When the paper plane is not added, the entire lens looks weird, but now the effect comes out immediately. The movement of the entire lens is very smooth, and it is impossible to tell that it is a group connection.

The staff present nodded inadequately. The rental of this shot was perfect, and it was simply natural, and there was no trace of artificial grouping.

Yu Feihong sighed: "This is too advanced. No wonder you emphasize the film industry all day long. With you, the technical leaders, I can catch up with Hollywood in a few years when I watch our Chinese movies!"

Zhang Ran shook his head gently: "It's still a long way to go. It will take at least twenty years to catch up with Hollywood!"

Yu Feihong was surprised: "Ah, such a big gap? But you are already very advanced!"

Zhang Ran smiled bitterly: "The movie is a whole. What's the use of catching up with Hollywood in just one aspect? To give a simple example, you know that we hope the movie's image effect is close to the feeling of "Save Private Ryan". But if we use film shooting, even if we use the same film, the same camera, and even the pictures are the same, but no domestic printing factory can wash the same effect. This is the gap."

Yu Feihong was stunned. In her opinion, the film of the movie should be washed out with little difference: "How come it can't be washed out?"

Ning Hao is from the photography department and has a very good understanding of printing washing technology. He explained: "Two years ago, Daris Kangji, a photographer of "The Seven Deadly Sins", went to Beijing Television for exchanges. He said that the printing washing of "The Seven Deadly Sins" was made of silver washing. After the exchange, the teacher in the photography department found a technical backbone of the printing factory to use silver washing washing. He experimented many times, but he couldn't wash the effect. "Save Private Ryan" used the same printing washing technology, and the technology was more difficult, so it was normal that it could not wash it."

Yu Feihong couldn't speak at all. The gap in printing technology alone was so big, and the gap in other aspects was probably even bigger.

Speaking of the current situation of the Chinese film industry, Zhang Ran couldn't help but sigh: "The gap between us and Hollywood is not in equipment, but in technology. We lack excellent technical talents. Printing is good. After all, there are special printing factories, and the differences between lighting and art are even greater. For example, Sony's f9oo cameras are used by many people in China. But look at the image effects taken in China, and then look at the image effects of Lucas' "Occurrence of the Clones". Others can use it to 9o% of their performance when they get a machine, but we can often only 3,4o% of them. China Film Hualong Digital has imported a lot of advanced equipment from the United States, which is better than the equipment of many special effects companies in Hollywood, but have they made decent special effects?"

Yu Feihong nodded and said, "That's why you established the Asian Film Academy."

Zhang Ran laughed: "This is nothing. We can't do anything. Just wait stupidly, right? When filming "Lord of the Rings", no one in New Zealand could do special effects, and the country was very small. Peter Jackson bought computers, recruited people, and formed a team, which led to the current Vita. If Peter Jackson had just complained and waited stupidly, there wouldn't have Vita."

Yu Feihong looked at the smile on Zhang Ran’s face and felt a little emotional. The difference between Zhang Ran and Wang Shuo and the others was really too big. They were a group of people who really loved movies!

At this moment, the door was pushed open, and Zhang Jingchu, Yang Mi, and Chang Jirong walked in with midnight snacks.

The crew members were all following Zhang Ran for several years, and knew that as long as Zhang Jingchu was on the crew, they would buy midnight snacks for everyone every night. They saw Zhang Jingchu and the others coming over with midnight snacks, and when they put down their work, they thanked them, and smiled and took the midnight snacks and ate.

The filming of "Tangshan Earthquake" went very smoothly. In just five days, all the outdoor scenes before the earthquake were completed.

After filming the outdoor scene, the entire scenic spot needs to be pushed down, arranged in a state after an earthquake, and started filming the scene after an earthquake. Zhang Ran and the crew worked hard to show the scene of the earthquake. At first, they planned to use blasting, but later, after experiments, the state after blasting was different from the collapse effect caused by the earthquake. In the end, the crew chose to demolish the building, and the building where Zhang Jingchu and Wang Luodan's family were located needed to show the entire collapse process, which could only be completed through blasting.

In order to make the state of the house collapse close to the real state after the earthquake, Zhang Ran and others did not let the excavator push down the house directly, but tied ropes to the walls and pulled the house down through machinery.

The master of the construction company worked hard all day before he pulled down the houses in the entire shooting area and arranged them to look like after the earthquake. Only the building where Zhang Jingchu and his family were located, as well as the buildings where Wang Luodan and Cao Bingkun lived, still retaining their true colors.

The collapse of Zhang Jingchu's house is a scene that is key to the movie. The collapse process needs to be shown, so the collapse of the building can only be completed by blasting, and then corrected through computer special effects later, so that the effect looks like it is collapsed; the house where Wang Luodan and others lived did not collapse on the first day, but fell in the 7.1 magnitude aftershock the next afternoon. The previous scene must be completed and then the shooting is completed through blasting.

At 8:30 in the evening, half an hour before the explosion, a cordon was already set up outside the building. Outside the cordon, Zhang Ran was now dispatching and commanding, holding a walkie-phone in one hand and a megaphone in the other, staring nervously at various dispatches at the scene.

In July, the special effects team had already scanned the building with special instruments. The machine was very advanced. One of them was transparent and the proportion of each brick was clear. After scanning, the special effects team made a 3D model of the building, so that the computer could finally create the special effects of the building collapse, and then synthesize it with the real scene of the building blasting to complete the special effects of the building collapse.

"Tangshan Earthquake" has not many fireworks, but Zhang Ran still invited Williams' team from Hollywood. When filming "Time and Space Warriors", everyone was more happy to work together. Williams team readily agreed to Zhang Ran's invitation. The explosion of the building in front of him and the explosion of the building where Wang Luodan's house is located later will be completed by them.

Zhang Ran has high requirements for blasting. When blasting, the house collapses, as close as possible to the effect of the earthquake collapse, and the ruins left after blasting must also be close to the effect of the earthquake. It is also a test for Williams' team, and they conducted multiple experiments for this.

Fifteen minutes later, Zhang Ran picked up the megaphone and shouted: "In the last fifteen minutes, everyone retreated to a safe distance!"

Except for Williams' team doing the final inspection, other workers retreated to the safety line. Soon, Yu Feihong ran over and told Zhang Ran that Williams' team was ready. Zhang Ran nodded, and a little resolute flashed on his face. Then he raised the loudspeaker and shouted to everyone: "Start!"

The tweeter begins the final countdown: "…3,2,1. Detonate!"

With a muffled sound, the ground swayed slightly. Everyone saw the five-story building in front of them, and began to collapse like dominoes while rolling smoke and dust.

In less than ten seconds, the entire building became a ruin, and then dust that covered the sky and the sun spread out from the ruins. At the same time, the sprinkler truck that was already on standby drove at full speed to sprinkle water and reduce dust.

As the smoke and dust dissipated, Zhang Ran walked to the ruins and looked at them, and nodded slightly. William is worthy of being one of the best fireworks masters in Hollywood. Moreover, after careful calculations and tests before the explosion, the ruins after the explosion were in very ideal state, which was the earthquake ruin effect that Zhang Ran wanted. Of course, the shot just now was obviously collapsed, and it still had to be corrected by computer special effects.

Many of the actors in the crew saw the spectacular scene of the blasting building for the first time. They seemed quite excited and were chattering.

Zhang Ran clapped his hands at them and said, "Okay, go back early to rest, especially Dandan. You will have the most dramas tomorrow, and there will be several rain scenes. Go back early to rest!"

Wang Luodan grimaced at Zhang Ran: "I understand!"

Zhang Ran ignored her and looked at the sky above her head. The weather had started to get colder. But the movie reflected the incident in July. The actors needed to wear shorts and vests to shoot rain scenes. The rain water would be very cold when poured on their bodies. Therefore, the rain scene must be finished as soon as possible and must not be delayed until October. 8
