Chapter 1025: Brother Hao's Pursuit

Between the mountains and forests.

The ground is uneven, with gravel and small stones in some places, wet and slippery places where you will slip, and under the weeds in some places, you may run into a small mud pond in a panic.

There are weeds everywhere, various ground vegetation, and many branches are hard. If you rush over at a certain speed, you will feel the feeling of being whipped, which is very painful; some vegetation has sharp thorns and hooks, which will directly cause a bloody streak when scratched on the body, and redness and swelling in severe cases.

There are dense mosquitoes. You don’t know what you will have a close contact with during the running process, especially after falling, you are likely to have a close contact with some dirty animal feces. In order not to destroy the shooting feeling, even if there are explorers in front to minimize the danger of this road as much as possible, it is still impossible to ensure that there are no problems.

The island is barren and has not been developed. Although there are beautiful island forests and clear island streams, these beauties cannot cover up the environment that is not suitable for human existence.

Being chased by the tomb-guarding beast, it is natural to present the primitive feeling here. If you really run to the beach and run on the beach, there will be no strong and exciting picture feeling. Even if you want to run, to show the comedy effect of the body leaning back, Mr. Huang Bo must stumble in front to create some picture sense, and finally run on the beach, so that there will be a better effect.

Kang Yan came around, and Huang Bo watched it very seriously. He first stared at the camera and saw Kang Yan's fall, the way of running, the way of avoiding around the big tree, and the panic moment when he was almost bitten in a panic...

Although the weather was very hot, Huang Bo still changed into a camouflage uniform. There were two staff members around him, and one of them was holding a DV to film his journey.

Huang Bo signaled Chen Hao to give him another hour. He walked along this road again. During the process, he deviated from the route several times and jumped and jumped several times. After returning half an hour later, everyone saw Huang Bo who was wet and muddy with some grass leaves on his hair.

After changing clothes, putting on makeup and styling his look, Huang Bo's eyes were full of determination when he came out. He was not afraid of the hard work of filming, nor was he afraid of getting dirty or tired. This was the first time that he filmed the most realistic chase scene in an environment with certain unknown dangers. Although there were so many experiments before, there was still no way to fully guarantee it.

Outside the door, a special medical team was ready. Huang Bo smiled bitterly at Chen Hao: "You put too much psychological pressure on me."

Chen Hao: "This is to give you confidence. Go run with confidence. I have prepared a helicopter for you and can send you to the hospital anytime and anywhere."

Huang Bo made a thumbs-down gesture to him. After a little joke, the atmosphere on the scene was much more relaxed. Chen Gang, who had just sweated, put the doll on his body again, and this time the weight increased a little.

During the actual shooting, the appearance of this set of equipment will have more things that can be matched with the later computer special effects. Chen Hao's idea is actually very simple. Make the real things as real as possible. How difficult it is to achieve, then the only standard is to do your best.

Chen Gang ran a few laps and was about to start shooting. Chen Hao shook his head. The weight was a bit heavy.

Chen Gang also knew the problem. After taking off the upper body of the doll, he said to Chen Hao: "I'll take a break. It should be fine."

Chen Hao still shook his head: "The action is not done well. The head forward movement controlled by your hands, the opening and closing of the big mouth, the amplitude and power are not enough. It is better to rely on the effect in the later stage."

Chen Gang actually realized that when people are unable to do it, the absolute strength and sustained explosive power required to meet the requirements of Chen Hao as a director are beyond his ability.

Chen Hao signaled two full-time assistant directors of the crew who were very academic to come over and let them look at the camera. His assistants are always non-talented players with solid basic skills. He does not want them to have strange ideas, but to be as steady as a mountain and faithfully execute Chen Hao's orders on the premise of understanding his intentions.

"I'll do it."

In Chen Hao's opinion, this is a very normal thing. If no one can do it, then I will do it. As for the monitor, if it really doesn't work, you can only shoot a few more times. If it doesn't meet the requirements, you can only start over. The unlucky one may be the actor. This is also a problem that directors and actors may have. Others are watching you, and you need to act. Once you don't meet your requirements, you can't stop immediately, and you need to repeat the shooting.

Everyone watched Chen Hao take off his coat and put on the doll tomb guardian beast, which now weighs nearly 50 kilograms in its final version. The people around him were silent. Some people wanted to speak up: "If it doesn't work, let's use special effects. Judging from the current materials, the difference is not as obvious as imagined. Maybe when the full version is produced in the later stage and shown to the audience, the audience may not be able to see any difference."

Wanted to say, but didn't say it.

Yuan Baye understood Chen Hao the most. As an action director, when computer special effects could fully produce all the movements and appearance of a beast, blockbusters began to dominate the world, and more and more movies began to use computer special effects to replace everything. Pure people began to be marginalized slowly.

A clip requires a tiger to cooperate. Even your best animal trainer cannot guarantee that a real tiger will be 100% obedient, and the actors may not dare to act. As for computer special effects, the tigers made are the same as the real ones, and can even be made bigger and more ferocious. The movements and details that a real tiger should have can be made by computers. In this case, who would use the real ones? Just use computers. There is more room for manipulation, better effects, lower performance costs, and lower performance difficulties.

The same is true for "Lost". Everyone can understand that Chen Hao requires the actors to react to the scenes realistically. This is a pursuit of returning to nature, but you have to make a real object to perform. Is it necessary? Even if the material of your real doll is the top-notch and it is very real in the camera, you can embellish it with computer special effects in the later stage, but is it as good as the effect of pure computer special effects? Can it really achieve the effect you want? Will most of the audience definitely see your difference? Also, this is a tomb guardian beast. You used a real object. Do you really plan to use real objects for various monsters of different sizes in the future? Even if you can make it, can you have perfect control to make it look more real?

Chen Hao honestly didn't think about the future. What he wanted was every scene in front of him. He tried his best to show everything that could be shown. How much better can real objects plus post-production special effects be than pure special effects?

If you really want to say how much, it is an immeasurable state. Different people have different opinions. What he can see is everything in a picture and a picture with an extra layer of color applied on the outside.

To put it simply, when the movie is released, it is a flat picture with real objects; pure computer special effects are like a good painting with something on it. The difference is only good technology and bad technology.

A whole, a synthesis.

Chen Hao also admitted that the latter is a big trend. He just wants to do his best to shoot more and better in his work, even if it is only a little bit, even if the audience doesn't feel that this is a good computer special effect, or even if the audience knows that this is a real object and criticizes that it is not as fierce and real as the computer, he has no regrets.

In life, don't you always have to stick to something that belongs to you? Otherwise, it would be a pity if you just followed the crowd.

Chen Hao put on the doll. As the chief designer and director, he was more skilled in playing with it than Chen Gang. He wanted to present another feeling with the real object, which was the interaction with the actors. Even if the actors knew it was fake, there was something interacting with you and performing to the air. It was two completely different states. I dare not say that it would definitely lead to better performances by the actors, but the probability would be very high.

All preparations were ready. The actors watching around had their own feelings and ideas. They watched Chen Hao warm up and try to make the movements of the tomb guardian more realistic. He rolled on the ground, fell down with a bang, pounced forward, opened his mouth and bit down fiercely. Don't say it, this thing is made of the best material. As long as you don't look closely, you will find it very real. At a distance of one or two meters, Chen Hao's pounce was really scary.

"Ready, scene XXX..."

"Action!"

Huang Bo moves, first enters the camera and runs, the camera follows him and starts running. In fact, at this time, he can be shot alone, with a close-up to give the impression that something is chasing him. Chen Hao's tomb guardian can also be shot alone, and both of them can be in the same frame when it is most needed. This makes shooting easier, and the picture is created by editing to create the tense atmosphere. Almost all movies are shot in this way.

When it comes to Chen Hao, I gave him a little change. Others are all about editing, so I gave him more medium shots. Even if it is a close-up, I can be in the same frame, so that the real feeling and the audience's intuitive feeling when watching are stronger.

Otherwise, it can be said that this film is really a money-burning film. In the forest on the deserted island, there is a track specially opened for the machine, which means that no filming is done near this track. The actors also have a reference object. They have to run near it so that the host camera on the track can catch up with them, and they must not be too close to avoid being exposed. The actors have no time to take care of how to shoot the remaining shots. In order to achieve better effects, a steel wire rope is pulled in the air, and the machine slides over it at a constant speed to shoot. There are also special people carrying the machine, running behind and on both sides to shoot. Although they know that only a few shots with shaking will be used, under Chen Hao's arrangement, even if one person in the group has two shots that can be used, it is a success. In addition to these moving machines, there are more than a dozen fixed machines on the scene to shoot a fixed picture. The post-production team has to make rough cuts of more than 20 pictures at the same time just for this scene where Huang Bo may run for one minute, and then give the rough cut shot collection without any exposure to Chen Hao, waiting for him to use it for the second round of editing.
