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

Chapter 338 There will be more deep space pioneers in the future

"Director Xu, can this thing be real?"

Outside the Guanghan Palace lunar base, there is a relatively flat area on the moon's surface, where the crew of the movie "The Wandering Earth" is preparing to film.

Campanus Crater is actually a pretty good place, with a good terrain location. Since it faces the side of Blue Star, standing here, you can see the nearest planet.

That's right, it's the home planet of mankind - Blue Star!
Just like the moon can be seen on the Blue Star, there are still differences between the two.

When you're on the Blue Star, you can't see the moon very clearly on weekdays. Especially in cities, with light pollution and environmental pollution, it's even harder to see the bright moon clearly, let alone see it. Stars.

Only in the suburbs or villages can the starry sky be so clear when you look up, and the moon often looks so eye-catching only during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

But looking at Blue Star from the moon is different.

Because the size of Blue Star is still very large compared to the moon, approximately equivalent to 49 moons.

In this way, when you look at the Blue Star from the moon, the visual effect is obviously different. You will find that it is a quite large blue sphere.

This is also the most obvious and intuitive visual experience that Xu Nuo and his team had after arriving on the moon.

But at this moment, Ma Yong, Xiong Li and the others were discussing around a large metal box.

According to the plot and script of the movie, this big metal box should contain a "nuclear bomb."

Used to arrange phased arrays to blow up the moon!
According to director Xu Nuo's live-action temperament, is there anything he can't do that's true?
So Ma Yong and Xiong Li, two people who were more active in the crew, began to wonder, what props are contained in this big metal box?Or is it a real prop?

"You guys take a guess."

Xu Nuo just smiled and continued to work on his side, letting Guan Julai control the three unmanned steel suits and arrange the camera positions. Soon he would start filming the scene where Zhang Peng and other astronauts detonated a nuclear bomb together. It’s time to play.

However, due to such a large metal box, Guanghan Palace Lunar Base really cannot provide more.

Therefore, the scenes in the movie of astronauts from all over the world detonating nuclear bombs one after another cannot be shot together. We can only use this big metal box to shoot one after another.

Among them, Zhang Peng, played by Bai Yutang, and Nove, played by Maozi actor Artem, are the main scenes.

Of course, in this plot, there is also Xiong Li's role, that is, he plays Liu Peiqiang. Because there were some accidents when the first batch came, they were unable to return to the Navigator space station and were stranded on the moon. , and after Zhang Peng and Nov, a group of astronauts who had never returned, arrived on the lunar surface, Liu Peiqiang met Nov, and then Zhang Peng asked Nov and other astronauts to let his apprentice take the Maozi The lunar lander that had been left behind returned to the Navigator space station.

This plot is also quite important. It focuses on the inheritance of master and apprentice. At the same time, the three-click gesture has a echoing effect.

Xu Nuo mainly wanted to shoot these two paragraphs today.

We also plan to shoot the scene between Zhang Peng and Nove before the nuclear bomb detonates first, because this scene is relatively simple and only requires the performance of two talented actors, Artyom and Bai Yutang.

The prop is this big metal box.

And the picture after the detonation is the actual picture taken by Xu Nuo at the lunar nuclear test two days ago.

In this way, it is obvious that this big metal box is really just a prop, and there is no nuclear bomb in it!
"I guess there might actually be one in there."

Ma Yong analyzed it fiercely and said: "Xiong Li, don't you understand our director Xu's acting style? He is all serious. The nuclear test explosion two days ago was not a real shot. .”

Now Ma Yong has a firm "belief" in Xu Nuo, because this director is really too "crazy". No matter what movie it is, no matter what props it is, he always likes to use real, real-life shooting maniacs. Isn’t that how it came about?
"I can't."

Xiong Li shook his head and said.

Although Xiong Li also admires Director Xu who trained him, after all, Director Xu’s title as a real-life shooting madman is real.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for the actors and actresses to come to the moon to film a movie.

But if there really was a nuclear bomb inside this big metal box, then Colonel Luo Wei would probably be at the scene, including Director Chen, and even more staff from the Guanghan Palace Moon Base.

But in fact, except for the crew of "The Wandering Earth" and the astronauts from the Guanghan Palace Base who temporarily joined the crew, no one else was at the filming site today.

Moreover, Director Xu has already completed the actual shooting of the nuclear explosion on the moon, so there is no need to use a real one to shoot other scenes.

"You two, stop guessing. Just think about it and you'll know. Do you think the Science and Technology Administration will easily hand over a nuclear bomb directly to my hands?"

Xu Nuo rolled his eyes at Ma Yong and Xiong Li, and then continued: "Okay, if you two have nothing to do for now, just step aside. My camera is ready and ready to start filming."

Xu Nuo motioned to Ma Yong and Xiong Li.

It's okay for Xiong Li. He has a role today, and there are quite a lot of roles. It's just that the few scenes Xu Nuo will shoot later are not of him.

Ma Yong is different. His scenes on the moon have basically been filmed, because from the time Xu Nuo arrived on the moon until the actual filming of the lunar nuclear test two days ago, basically We were filming the important scenes of Ma Zhao and Tu Hengyu on the moon.

After Xu Nuo has shot almost everything that needs to be shot, if there is still extra time, Xu Nuo can consider shooting some more shots.

Therefore, it stands to reason that Ma Yong has no scenes today, so he doesn't need to shoot the scene.

But Ma Yongsheng has a strong desire to learn and insisted on coming to the filming site to accompany the group, and by the way, he learned some useful things from actors like Bai Yutang.

Xu Nuo didn't object. Ma Yong must have a good heart. Maybe after his experience in "The Wandering Earth" this time, Ma Yong, a science fiction writer who is not a professional actor, might actually be a good actor in the future. Have you changed careers and become an actor?

Who can say for sure about this kind of thing? After all, even a truck driver can become a director and do it successfully. The profession of actor is not just for people with a professional background. There have been many classic cases of the rise of grassroots actors in the past. .

"Then Director Xu, I will study next to you in a while."

Seeing that Director Xu had spoken, Ma Yong consciously stepped aside and said.

"Okay, if you are willing to see how Teacher Bai and the others perform, then of course there will be no problem."

Xu Nuo nodded.

Immediately afterwards, Xu Nuo began to coordinate the scene.

First of all, instead of letting teacher Bai Yutang and Maozi actor Artyom go on, the extras were asked to go on first.

These extras are all people from the Guanghan Palace Lunar Base and the Tiangong Space Station. Although the Tiangong Space Station has returned to Blue Star, there were a group of people who came to the moon with Xu Nuo and the others because of daily tasks. Of the astronauts who stayed.

Among this group of astronauts, there are naturally astronauts from other countries in the world who participate in some public scientific research missions on the Tiangong Space Station and the moon.

For example, there are those from America, and those from England, France, and Germany in Europe.

There are even astronauts from the Asan family.The number of these astronauts is not large. For example, there is only one astronaut Asan. They are dispatched and managed by China's Science and Technology Administration and Space Administration on the space station and the moon.

There is no way, who makes China the strongest aerospace power in the world now? Even America, which once boasted itself as the world's best aerospace power, now has to kneel down and cooperate with China.

As for cooperation, it is currently limited to the space station and the Guanghan Palace Base on the Moon allowing their astronauts to come and participate in open scientific research.

Often these public scientific researches are scientific experiments that do not have any particularly significant strategic significance and are beneficial to the world at the same time.

Although our family owns the huge Tiangong Space Station and the Lunar Guanghan Palace Base, our family is not like America before and did not allow our family members to go up to the International Space Station when it was owned. In terms of layout, it can be said that On the entire Blue Star, no one can match it.

Xu Nuo asked the astronauts at the Guanghan Palace Moon Base to take the shots they wanted first, and then let them go about their business at the base without wasting their time.

However, it can be seen that these astronauts are very happy to know that they can star in Xu Nuo's movie "The Wandering Earth". There are even many gringo astronauts who are die-hard fans of Xu Nuo.

"Come on, James, I'm going to start shooting that requires your lens. Are you ready?"

Xu Nuo called all the gringo astronauts over.

Another reason to shoot their shots first is that their shots are relatively simple to shoot, because it only requires people and the big box containing the "nuclear bomb" to form a composition together. The most important thing is that their shots do not require Lines.

The main lines are concentrated on the two characters of Nove and Zhang Peng, and these two characters still have many appearances and plot scenes in the movie, while the others are just side characters.

"This is a detonator prop. Follow my instructions in a moment. I say that after three, two, one, you press the detonator."

Xu Nuo held a nuclear bomb detonator prop in his hand and demonstrated it to everyone.

This is the first time that these astronauts have played small roles in a movie, so Xu Nuo needs to personally guide them.

"OK."

James was the first to nod, indicating that he understood what Xu Nuo meant.

He is the biggest fan of Xu Nuo among the gringo astronauts. When he found out that he could play a small role in Xu Nuo's movie, he was so happy that he even sent a paragraph to his daughter. Video photo of myself and Xu Nuo.

"The detonator props used by everyone are different. Guan Ju has prepared the detonator props. After a while, whoever arrives will go to Guan Ju to receive the detonator props."

Xu Nuo warned James and others again.

Several gringo astronauts nodded.

"James, you're first."

Xu Nuo asked James to perform directly first, and Xu Nuo even added a line and a special scene for him.

That is, when he pressed the detonator, he specially gave a close-up shot of his wife, daughter, and family photos.

It can be regarded as a welfare reward from Xu Nuo to himself, a die-hard fan of America.

"Okay, Director Xu!"

James is very confident.

"James, your picture."

Xu Nuo reminded.

"OK, I'm ready."

Soon, James took the detonator and came to the big metal box. Then he used the small screen on the back of the wrist of the space suit to bring up photos of his family of three and display them on the screen.

"Guan Ju, let Mojia No. 9-[-] take the precise shot of James' family of three."

Xu Nuo gave instructions to Guan Ju again.

So under the control of Guan Ju, the Mojia No. 9-[-] unmanned steel suit came behind James, and slowly took off a little bit. Someone came behind James and took a photo from his shoulder line. The photo of the family of three on the screen of his space suit.

"Okay, that's it."

Xu Nuo looked at the holographic display screen of his holographic monitor, estimated the time, and after a few seconds, he said it was enough.

Such a shot doesn't take long, and the Mo Jia Liu-9 controlled by Guan Ju completed the shooting very well, so I just went through it in one go.

After taking this shot first, Xu Nuo called Mojia 9-[-] back, so that James' scene contained only a few elements: him, the big metal box, the moon's surface, and the blue star background.

"James, it's your turn, get ready, three, two, one, start!"

Xu Nuo then gave James the director's instructions through the spacesuit's internal communication channel.

James raised one hand and held the detonator in the other, lowered his head slightly, looked at the photo on the screen of his space suit, and then pressed the detonator.

"Ka! Very good, James, you did a great job!"

Xu Nuo immediately shouted stop and praised James.

"Really? Director Xu, I feel that this performance does not seem to be difficult. Of course, it may be because I am too involved. At that moment, I really thought of my wife, my daughter, and I was tired of logging!"

James summed it up involuntarily, and then began to sigh.

"Yes, this is not a difficult performance, but I found that you were very involved in the performance, and it was a real feeling."

Xu Nuo said to James with a smile.

"I admire those astronauts in the novel. If we really get to that moment, I may not be able to let go of my family, but I will not look back!"

James' tone suddenly became more serious.

"You are a great astronaut and a pioneer of our human civilization in deep space."

Xu Nuo is very sure of James's courage.

Even in America, there are some people like James, and Xu Nuo believes that there will be more gringos like James in the future.
