"So, what were you looking at just now? What are you discussing? I always feel like what's going on here is beyond imagination."

Felicity asked in a relaxed tone.

Renly could sense the subtle changes in the air, but he didn't ask too much. He just followed Felicity's question and turned his head to look behind him, "Are you asking about this? You 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 but ask again.

Renly laughed outright, and nodded affirmatively, "I know, I can't believe it, so I came here specifically to ask."

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

“We’re also going to the coast to shoot on location, Maldives. But some shots, especially those that require a lot of CGI, it’s going to be very difficult to shoot on location, and besides the green screen setup, there’s the weather, you know. The beach, the weather is hard to control." Renly has a lot of experience shooting large-scale production films, and has a far-reaching understanding of the control of these aspects.

Of course, Renly hasn't yet shot the whole thing and it's all done before the studio green screen/blue screen, that's probably another story.

Gareth Edwards is also a director who advocates the quality of the picture - it can be seen from the two works "Monster" and "Godzilla", and when conditions permit, he also clearly knows the field shooting and studio. The difference between in-house shooting, he still prefers the texture presented by field shooting.

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

Despite this, Gareth still applied for location shooting in Maldives, Ireland and Jordan, hoping to create as realistic an effect as possible; Kathryn Kennedy agreed to Gareth's application. As for those scenes limited by objective factors, they are still completed in the studio.

So, there is the current coastline - in those days, James Cameron created a vast ocean in the studio and completed the filming of "Titanic"; now, with the upgrading of technology, they can be completely in the studio Create sea and sand, and the effect is more realistic.

But for Felicity, this is the first time in history, everything is new, it is like returning to the season of newcomers who have just entered Hollywood.

"I know, I understand, but...but!" Felicity's eyes widened, but she had so many questions that she didn't know where to start. In the end, she simply abandoned Renly and trotted all the way to the front. :

shocked.

The scene in front of me is neither spectacular nor messy. I don't know how to describe it. Anyway, it is far from the imagined picture in my mind.

It's a huge bunker and a spacious pool - trucks are pouring the soft sand of the beach, creating a beach line of about a hundred yards; the pool is the size of a college campus swimming pool, but because of the surrounding area Because of the dark blue plastic board, it looks a little 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 boundaries of the swimming pool.

In terms of scale, it is indeed very huge. The beach and swimming pool occupy an area of ​​nearly 2,000 square feet. Even if you run wild, it will take several minutes to circle around. For a photography base, such an area is absolutely luxurious. Nearly two studio-sized spaces.

From a distance, it looks like a busy construction site, and it is spectacular - when she just drove by, Felicity's attention couldn't help but be attracted, she didn't expect such a scene to appear in the photography base. Even Renly was no exception.

But from the quality point of view, the details are very rough, and there is no detail at all. It is a simple semi-finished product. There is no artistic conception in the empty sand, and there is no edge in the swimming pool. How the finished product will be.

"...how?" Felicity's head was full of question marks, and finally she just choked out the word.

Renly's eyes were visibly cheerful, and his ecstatic expression made one clearly feel his excitement and excitement, "That's why people call the movie magic - they bring in the sand and water tanks, and then the next Plants will be brought in from all over England, and sixty palm trees will be flown in from Spain to build the entire beach, where we will complete a series of in-studio blue-screen performances, seamlessly connecting to the Maldives studio.”

These are all things that Renly learned after talking with the staff. Even though Renly has seen many big scenes, he can't help but marvel at the generosity of top blockbusters.

"In addition, they also built a model of the entire Maldives studio at a scale of 1:10, just like a Barbie doll's house. Some aerial special effects or pictures of destroying buildings can all be shot in the model. On the one hand, it can be more realistic, on the other hand, it can save costs.”

With just a few words, Renly's explanation managed to draw a picture in Felicity's mind, and he had to marvel at the great imagination of these technicians.

After a brief shock, Felicity gradually recovered, and then another question emerged, "But, wouldn't it cost more to produce if you worked so hard? I mean, compared to shooting on the spot. , or is it better to just use computer effects to make it all?"

After asking a bunch of questions, Felicity realized that she didn't have a clear idea, and she still lacked understanding of these behind-the-scenes technical links. Sorry, I meant..."

"I understand." Renly nodded in understanding, which made Felicity look at Renly in surprise, and the agitation of the common language made both of them laugh, "This is also what I am most curious about. Question - I asked Christopher Nolan before and I couldn't get an answer, he was even willing to spend six months planting a cornfield for visuals, so I don't think it's a concern for him."

The tone of the rant was too comfortable, and Felicity laughed.

"Obviously, according to the normal way of operation in the industry, recycling is a method that every crew must learn. If everything goes well with our filming in the Maldives, then the solution is very simple, and it can be transferred to other crews. There are other systems. It would be great if the studio was willing to accept it.”

"But if the work on the Maldives studio is not completed successfully due to the weather conditions, or the finished film is not as good as expected, then the crew has also made second-hand preparations, and we will choose another location nearby to rebuild the Maldives. On-site. The sand and tank water here can come in handy, and it will never be wasted easily.”

"Especially the water resources. Whether it is taken over by other companies or we rebuild the Maldives studio ourselves, we will come back here after the water resources are used up, and after the purification is completed, we will wait for the next production crew to recycle them."

The concise and clear explanation opened Felicity's eyes, "So, are you doing the same in the 'Interstellar' crew?"

"By the way, Chris obviously didn't think about it that much, and because of the filming, there are many situations where there is no way to plan ahead, you know; but the end result was positive. Our crew had a good corn harvest, and later I sold it, and I actually made a lot of money, saving a lot of costs for the crew." Renly replied sincerely.

Felicity was about to say something, but got caught in her throat and paused for a moment before realizing that Renly wasn't joking, "Jesus Christ!"

Renly shrugged.

Felicity couldn't help laughing, and she felt a little ridiculous and weird, maintaining a state of crying and laughing, "I can't understand how your big crew works, it's all too strange."

"Then what you should know, I just asked, we should have three times as many crew members as Interstellar, maybe more." Renly dropped a bombshell lightly, "and , bigger than the 'Jurassic World' crew. It's also a fresh first for me."

The entire crew of "Rogue One" has more than 400 people. This is the first "400-person" crew in Renly's history, and it is second to none in Hollywood. It can be seen from the budget size. Katherine Kennedy gave the work a $200 million budget.

The cost of "Interstellar" is 165 million, and "Jurassic World" is 150 million. This also means that the first work of Renly's career costing 200 million yuan 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 deer-like eyes froze, and she couldn't react for a while. Only now did she have a real sense of what work she joined? What kind of responsibility do you shoulder? What kind of behemoth did he face.

The jaw-dropping appearance made Ren Li chuckle directly, leaned forward slightly, and said in Felicity's ear, "Be careful of mosquitoes flying into your mouth."

Snapped.

Felicity closed her eyes immediately, but made a strange noise, like a robot.
