Chapter 71 Hualong Numbers
"Crack!"
Wang Hao watched the monotonous monitor and saw that Han Duoduo's hands trembled violently. She paused for two seconds, then grabbed the other end of the crescent earring with her right hand and pulled it out of the flesh. Her entire arm was stretched straight and she couldn't help but stand up and yelled.
"Pass!"
Although the monitor only showed black and white images without any blood, and they all knew it was fake, but watching Wang Zhi's performance, the people watching couldn't help but twitch their lips, as if Wang Zhi was really sewing her legs just now.
“Good, just follow this rhythm, this is the effect I want, to make the audience feel pain just watching.
continue! "
Wang Zhi's forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, but after hearing the director's words, he still smiled, immediately grasped the feeling just now, and devoted himself to the shooting of the next scene again.
The entire crew finished work only when it got dark.
However, after returning to his residence, Wang Hao still had a meeting to attend in the evening.
As the filming of the movie is almost halfway through, they have to start thinking about post-production.
Especially for the production of special effects, during this period, as long as Zhang Yang was free, he would definitely take a newly recruited younger brother and run back and forth between Shangjing and Penglai, in order to connect with the staff of Hualong Digital and provide the filmed film materials in time for the other party to carry out post-processing.
If he hadn't shared some of the pressure, Wang Hao might not even have time to sleep at night.
But even with help from others, he was still very busy. In addition to considering post-production matters, it was also his task to confirm the next day's shooting work with the photography, production, art, and coordination departments.
By the end of August, when everyone had finally finished filming the scenes involving the beach and the ocean, Wang Hao's eyes had become much darker.
On the last night before leaving Changdao County, they ate the local specialty, Spanish mackerel dumplings.
Unlike the pork and green onion dumplings that Wang Hao and his friends often eat, the cooked Spanish mackerel dumplings are each the size of a palm. When you bite through the chewy dough, the fragrance of the leeks inside and the tenderness of the fish meat leave a lingering taste that is unforgettable.
The crew members of "The Shallows" set off on their journey home with a belly full of Spanish mackerel dumplings.
After returning to Beijing, the Central Academy of Drama officially opened, and Wang Zhi had to go back to school to report.
Fortunately, she usually has free time, and the indoor scenes of "The Shallows" were all shot in the studio of Qingdao Film Studio, which is not far away from each other.
So after spending two weeks, all the indoor scenes were finally filmed.
After saving the last roll of film, Wang Hao's eyes showed a hint of relief, and a smile finally appeared on his tired face.
After more than two months, their film was finally completed.
"Cough cough!"
Wang Hao held a loud speaker, coughed twice at the many staff members in the studio, and then shouted:
"Everyone, thank you for your hard work recently. Now I declare that the filming of "The Shallows" has officially wrapped!"
"It's wrapped!" Wang Zhi also shouted beside him, as if he had finally regained his former liveliness.
The crew members were all smiling and breathed a sigh of relief.
Compared to the last time they filmed "Buried", this time the filming task was heavier and took longer, which really put a lot of pressure on them. Fortunately, after this, they can finally take a break for a while. "Everyone, pack up your things. We'll be at the same place tonight!"
The crowd cheered.
There is no need to mention how lively the wrap-up party was in the evening. Even Tong Liya, who had finished filming early, came to attend the dinner.
As for the next day, when Wang Hao woke up, he did not go to his uncle to report his work progress, but went to Hualong Digital with Zhang Yang.
Hualong Digital is a special effects production company under Huaying Group, and owns the most advanced film special effects production equipment in the country.
Previously, Wang Hao got in touch with a leader of Huaying Group through his grandfather’s relationship, and naturally got in touch with Hualong Digital.
The reason they came here this time is to convert the last batch of shots that need special effects into digital format.
If you want to create special effects shots, you need to use computer software to cut out the images, synthesize them with the 3D models you are producing, and render them using software. These tasks certainly cannot be completed on film, so they must be converted into digital formats and imported into the computer so that related production can be carried out.
Although their last movie "Buried" was a science fiction movie, most of the props used were not digital effects, so this step was not included.
“The current domestic film special effects production is actually not bad.”
On the way to Hualong Digital, Zhang Yang also had time for a brief science lecture with Wang Hao.
"This is all thanks to the blockbuster films shot by Director Zhang and Director Feng. Nowadays, even in China, many blockbuster films will basically convert film into digital format after shooting.
Then, the material editing, post-synthesis, special effects processing, color adjustment, subtitle mixing and other corresponding processing are carried out on the computer. This is called digital intermediate.
A lot of the post-processing methods we learned in school are outdated now.”
"This is normal. There is always a certain delay between what is taught in universities and reality."
Wang Hao and Zhang Yang walked side by side, chatting as they passed through the bustling Beijing Film Academy campus. They came out of the east gate and entered the Shangjing Film Studio across the road.
Hualong Digital Film Production Company is right here. The two had been here before and now found the place with ease. Without any further greeting, they went straight to the input and output department on the third floor.
The place was not big, with just one office and two or three young men inside. One of them looked up and saw that it was Zhang Yang who came in. He immediately recognized him and stood up to greet him.
"Brother Yang, you're here to deliver film again."
The young man came forward and greeted Zhang Yang in a familiar manner. Zhang Yang smiled at him, took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and threw it to him, while introducing himself to the other party:
"Yes, this is the last part of the shot. By the way, this is the director of our film, Brother Hao whom I mentioned to you before.
Brother Hao, this is Xiao Wu, Wu Qian. "
When Wu Qian heard Zhang Yang's introduction, his eyes suddenly lit up. He hurried forward, took the initiative to hold Wang Hao's right hand and shook it vigorously.
"Are you Director Wang? I've heard Brother Yang mention you and your movies a long time ago. I didn't expect you to be so young."
Wang Hao nodded and smiled in response, while looking at Zhang Yang with a puzzled look.
It was not until he recognized the other person's slightly open lips saying the three words "our own people" that he realized that the young man in front of him was probably the result of Zhang Yang's recent busy work at Hualong Digital.
