Director: The special effects are too expensive, so I had to make real shots

Chapter 322 For the future of mankind!
"This is the mechanical detonator of a nuclear bomb. This is the trigger. There are 81 styles in total. Each detonation of a nuclear bomb can trigger about ten nuclear bombs. Hydrogen bombs need to be detonated one by one."

"So, we need 290 people to operate!"

"But in order to succeed, we need 300 people, our docking bay, not the landing craft, so you only have a one-way ticket!"

On the Tiangong Space Station, the central bridge area.

This plot scene of "The Wandering Earth" is currently being filmed for the third time.

Because he had little experience in the first two takes, and it was such a large scene, it was inevitable that there would be some mistakes. Therefore, Xu Nuo was not satisfied with the results of the first two takes, so he did the third take.

In fact, everyone wants to go through it directly, but this kind of thing is not something everyone can do. In addition, Director Xu's requirements can be said to be very strict.

On the central bridge, most of the astronauts and scientific researchers of the Tiangong Space Station gathered here and stood in neat rows.

They all came to participate in the filming of "The Wandering Earth".

Even the head of the Tiangong Space Station's Bureau of Transportation was involved. These were reported to Blue Star Ground and approved by the Science and Technology Administration and the Space Administration.

Of course, in addition to the staff of the Tiangong Space Station, all the actors brought by Xu Nuo this time also came up one by one to "fill in the numbers".

For example, actor Zhong Dengwen who plays Tu Hengyu, science fiction writer Ma Yong who plays Ma Zhao and others have no role in this plot, because at this time Ma Zhao and Tu Hengyu are executing the activation of Yan on the earth. Chenggen server has a major task, and Ma Zhao has cooled down, while Tu Hengyu is still struggling.

However, since the number of people was really not enough, we pulled them over to check the number of people. We just had to let them stand in the crowd and not take the camera.

After all, when given a long shot panorama, and with a little processing in post-production, it would be impossible for anyone to recognize that these two actors were among the large number of "Navigator Space Station" astronauts.

Zhong Dengwen and Ma Yong did not have scenes to be filmed on the space station this time. The main scenes were on the moon, that is, the part where a quantum computer was used to test the feasibility of the lunar engine.

"Okay, follow my instructions and get ready, young people, start."

When Nov, who was standing at the front, played by the unsophisticated actor Artyom, introduced the journey of no return, the astronauts below began to express their opinions.

Naturally, the young people were the most active at the beginning.

Xu Nuo planned to shoot this entire plot in one go, not in short segments. After all, this plot can be said to be the most tearful for the audience.

If we shoot separately, I'm afraid there will be some sense of fragmentation, and then I worry that the actors have finally entered the state and brewed their emotions. If it is shot in short segments, it will be too bad.

So the best thing is to shoot the plot right at once when the actors get into the mood every time they start shooting and have their emotions brewing.

Now, according to the filming plot, after Nove has introduced the method of manually detonating nuclear bombs to the astronauts on the Navigator space station, a group of "warriors" will be needed next.

300 people are needed!

And it has been shown that these 300 people will never return, because they only have landing craft, and landing craft are usually used to transport supplies to the lunar base. Basically, there is no way to return to the space station from the lunar surface.

Faced with this no-return journey to save humanity, the astronauts on the Pilot space station must make a choice!

At this time, the young people were full of enthusiasm. After Nov finished speaking, they all raised their hands to say that I am going!

Xu Nuo was just notifying the actors on the scene to prepare for the plot. After all, it was shot in one go, and Xu Nuo needed to "guide" the actors in real time.

Most of the people present are not professional actors. There are only a few professional actors brought to the Tiangong Space Station by Xu Nuo. Most of them are "friendly actors" from the astronauts on the space station, so Xu Nuo is even more needed. of guidance.

"I go!"

Colonel Luo Wei, as the first Chinese astronaut among the "young astronauts" to raise his hand and volunteer, was also specially arranged by Xu Nuo.

He was also given a close-up shot.

There was no cameraman during the filming of "The Wandering Earth" this time, but without a cameraman this does not mean that it is impossible to capture the images Xu Nuo wanted.

Let Lao Zhang and his group of Xu Nuo's cameramen come up. With a few more people, the safety risks and costs will increase a lot. Moreover, according to Xu Nuo's plan, this time they will take real shots on the space station and the moon in space. "The Wandering Earth" doesn't just work without a photographer. This time Xu Nuo brought his own AI bionic robot Guan Ju, as well as the ink armor steel suit and the unmanned steel suit, and they were in charge. Most of the filming was completely trouble-free.

Moreover, Xu Nuo had already begun to use a large number of unmanned steel suits for filming in his last movie, when he was filming "Spider-Man".

But at that time, they were used for some tracking shots and particularly difficult shooting tasks. For example, it was really difficult for photographer Lao Zhang and others to complete the difficult and angle shots.

After all, manpower is limited, and the photographer can't hold the camera and follow the actors' various fancy actions, let alone shuttle between the high-rise buildings in the city like Spider-Man.

It is said that the more awesome the characters are in the action scenes, the more awesome is the photographer. This rule does not apply to Xu Nuo. Xu Nuo is a director who is known as a real-life shooting madman. There are many things that are never expected. He had to take real shots of all the scenes. Which photographer could stand up to shooting a movie like this?

Lao Zhang and his group of photographers are already considered the strongest in the country.

But this time, Xu Nuo did not use people as photographers. Instead, he asked Guan Ju to control the unmanned steel suit and take pictures according to Xu Nuo's instructions and orders.

To be honest, it is very good that so many actors did not attract the attention of the "photographer" of Steel Suit.

With Colonel Luo Wei's sonorous "I'm going", the situation suddenly opened up. After the first person, there will be the second, third, fourth, and so on.

"I go!"

An English voice sounded immediately after Colonel Luo Wei's voice.

Then, there was another "I will go" in Chinese, and then in other languages. One after another, people took the initiative to raise their hands and actively moved towards the abyss of death.

This kind of spirit of not being afraid of death is not something ordinary people can achieve!

"I go!"

"I am coming too!"

"And I!"

As one after another "I'm going" in languages ​​​​from all over the world sounded on the filming set, Xu Nuo, as a director, was very satisfied with this scene.Fortunately, there are currently more than just Chinese astronauts on the Tiangong Space Station. Otherwise, it would be difficult for Xu Nuo to film such a plot that fully demonstrates the "community of a shared future for mankind."

"Very good, come on, it's Zhang Peng's turn."

For this filming set, Xu Nuo is more like the core who controls the rhythm. When more and more astronauts take the initiative to ask for help, Xu Nuo is ready to let the role of "Zhang Peng" start his performance.

Zhang Peng is played by Bai Yutang, a powerful and experienced actor.

After Bai Yutang was confirmed to star in "The Wandering Earth", he began to deeply understand the script and story line of the entire movie, as well as the role of "Zhang Peng" he played. He studied and figured out this role. A lot, and I also had many in-depth exchanges with director Xu Nuo, in order to make myself the Zhang Peng that Director Xu wanted on the set!
In the filming studio, Zhang Peng looked solemn, then turned his head and looked at the more and more passionate young people behind him who were raising their hands.

They don't seem to be afraid of death, and they are willing to fight for humanity without hesitation. Whether they are Chinese astronauts, American, European, Maoist, or other continents, they all have the same desire to die at this moment. Ideal, just to create a hopeful future for human civilization.

Xu Nuo could see that the look on everyone's face on the set and the line they shouted "I'll go" were so resolute.

Many astronauts came to participate in this "friendly appearance". In fact, they only had the line "I'm going". But even so, they also interpreted such a seemingly simple line with a strong sense of reality. .

It's as if they are really facing a journey with no return, for the future of mankind, their will is so firm!
Then, Zhang Peng, played by Bai Yutang, looked at the young Chinese astronaut standing in the queue beside him who also raised his hand without hesitation to express his willingness to carry out the mission.

This astronaut is the role Xu Nuo assigned to Colonel Luo Wei.

It can be said that they are the two most professional actors among this group of people. Needless to say, Bai Yutang and Colonel Luo Wei have starred in Xu Nuo's "Iron Man" and have rich acting experience. .

At first, Xu Nuo was worried that Colonel Luo Wei would not be able to get into the mood, be in a mood, and make himself cry. However, looking at the current situation, Colonel Luo Wei was not the one Xu Nuo needed to worry about.

This guy has a strong sense of empathy.

Xu Nuo knew that the reason why Colonel Luo Wei had a strong sense of involvement in this plot was because Colonel Luo Wei came from the army. He first served in the Military Equipment Department and was later transferred to the Science and Technology Administration.

Next, it’s time for the talented actor Bai Yutang to perform.

Xu Nuo didn't need any guidance this time, because for an actor like Bai Yutang, he certainly knew that his scene would come next.

"Guan Ju, the camera is zoomed in, a close-up shot of Teacher Bai, looking straight from the perspective of Lao Luo's left shoulder, through Lao Luo's raised arm."

Xu Nuo quickly asked the unmanned steel suit controlled by Guan Ju to find the camera position.

"Get in place."

Guan Ju's voice came from the headset.

"it is good!"

Xu Nuo nodded slightly.

The next second, Zhang Peng, played by Teacher Bai Yutang, turned his head. The character played by Colonel Luo Wei seemed to sense something and turned his head to glance at the old senior Zhang Peng.

"Look at what!"

A 'severe' word directly drove Colonel Luo Wei's eyes back.

It can be said that Teacher Bai Yutang performed this scene particularly well, and Colonel Luo Wei's look and reaction when his senior retorted him was also quite spot on.

As expected, it was a scene in which Xu Nuo had repeatedly communicated with Colonel Luo Wei. Compared with the previous two times, this time it was much smoother, to the extent that Xu Nuo was satisfied.

"The moon is ours."

His words were harsh just a moment ago, but his tone became a little gentle the next second.

At first, when Xu Nuo was chatting about the drama with Teacher Bai Yutang, he didn't know how to describe this change of tone for a while. Later, Teacher Bai Yutang said, "The gentleness of an old man." Xu Nuo Now that I see it, I understand it instantly.

"I don't trust it if I leave it to you brats."

After the line of "Zhang Peng" was finished, the scene that Xu Nuo was most concerned about was about to come.

"Chinese Space Flight Squadron!"

I saw Teacher Bai Yutang put down the raised hand of Colonel Luo Wei, and then stood up straight. Even though he looked old, he suddenly looked energetic.

After the words "China Aerospace Flight Center" fell, the sound of uniform footsteps standing at attention sounded!
"Those who are over 50 years old, come out!"

The lines in this scene belong to Zhang Peng, played by Mr. Bai Yutang. He plays a lot of roles in the space station plot. He is also one of the key characters in major plots such as the Space Elevator Crisis and the Moon Crisis. One.

The master-disciple emotional line between him and the leading actor Liu Peiqiang can be said to be the most tear-jerking and touching in the entire movie, but there are more emotional lines in the movie than this.

There is also the love line between Liu Peiqiang and Han Duoduo.

And Tu Hengyu for his daughter Tu Yaya. This father-daughter relationship line may not be so touching, because its function is mainly to show digital life, which is different from the focus of the master-disciple relationship line between Zhang Peng and Liu Peiqiang. .

After Zhang Peng took the initiative to let the astronauts of the Chinese Space Flight Squadron go out, just like Colonel Luo Wei's "I'm going" before, he instantly took the lead.

Immediately afterwards, Nov, played by Maozi actor Artyom, also said to his apprentice and future Liu Peiqiang's good friend Makarov: "Makarov, you have to remember that Maozi is invincible in space!"

The next second, all members of the Maozi Space Flight Squadron, also over 50 years old, came out en masse!
It was as if a spark had been ignited.

Although there were not that many astronauts on the filming set, the atmosphere on the set was already up.

Although everyone knows that they are acting, they seem to have been immersed in the plot of the movie. All the astronauts participating in the movie have a firm belief in "for mankind"!

Both true and false, true and false.

But if humanity really encounters such a crisis, Xu Nuo believes that even if they are just acting as a friend, they will go all out, right?
