China Entertainment’s rescue plan is hard to come by

Chapter 811: It's a serious movie

After having a good meal and a good drink, no, it was a working lunch and there was no wine. Instead, Liu Yifei made two glasses of freshly squeezed apple juice for Sun Yi.

Normally, Sun Yi likes apple juice very much.

Especially the green apple, which is sour and sweet and very delicious.

But today, no matter how I drink it, it tastes weird.

After a short lunch break, we officially started shooting in the afternoon.

Because the filming is done in a studio with artificial scenery, being on the set is just like going to work. There is no need to sleep outdoors or wait for the weather to get sunny like on location shooting. All you need to do is work from 8am to 5pm, with an hour's break at noon.

The extras arrived first, about ten people, not only from China, but also several foreign actors who played special roles. With the help of the staff, they began to divide the work and put on the industrial-style mechas.

This is the training barracks of the US special elite forces in the film. It is also the team that Liu Yifei is in the movie. It was specially built by the props team.

Sun Yi required that it not only have enough military color, but also have a sense of technology.

It covers an area of ​​about 800 square meters and has a mecha training hall, a shooting training hall, and a combat training hall.

It looks big, but its technological content is actually not very high and is far inferior to the space capsule in "Gravity".

The mecha training hall is just like a gym, except that there are a lot of monitoring equipment and various mecha accessories that look mysterious. People wear various parts of the mecha, and the staff beside them debug and assist in recording data.

Although this scene was only briefly shown in the movie, with a shot duration of less than 5 seconds, Sun Yi still required to do it on the spot.

The filming hasn't officially started yet, but several actors here have already started reviewing.

The shooting training hall is even simpler, and is basically no different from the current shooting rooms, with grids filled with single-person units, except that the firearms are specially designed and built, making it more futuristic.

Of course, these are definitely not real guns, and the shooting effects are all the responsibility of the props team.

The last and most crucial one is the practical training hall.

The plot in the original novel is that the male protagonist comes here to find the female protagonist, and then begins a nightmare-like training life under the guidance of the female protagonist.

Here, Sun Yi did not make too many changes. He still used a special robotic arm to simulate the alien monster, attacking the field from all angles to train the protagonist's reaction speed.

In the movie, the robotic arm moves back and forth, looking very dangerous, but it is definitely not allowed during actual filming. It is controlled by dedicated staff and has two protection systems.

It can be paused with one button. In addition, only one of the metal claws on the robotic arm is real. It usually does not move and is used to shoot close-ups of the protagonist and the metal claws. The rest are special props, which are carbon plates painted with metallic paint and have special protective stickers on the edges. As long as you strictly follow the pre-arranged route, there will be no problem.

Of course, if you accidentally make a mistake in your positioning and fail to dodge it, and it hits your body, it will definitely hurt, but it will not be life-threatening.

During the morning rehearsal, Tom Cruise and Liu Yifei had practiced it many times and were very familiar with it. Also, with the speed of the robotic arm, it would be difficult to get hit.

After all, this thing runs very, very slowly, and the acceleration effects in the movie are all post-processed.

"Xixi, when you do the movements later, you should turn your head slowly, and then stand up. When you stand up, you should be more neat and tidy. You should show the military temperament of the heroine, and ensure the sense of strength while taking into account some feminine softness."

The shooting was about to start, and Sun Yi reminded Liu Yifei again.

The girl grabbed her water bottle and drank gulps of water while nodding to Sun Yi to show that she understood.

This scene has been told many times, but someone is still worried and keeps nagging about it.

Liu Yifei put down the kettle, casually twisted her long hair in front of her forehead and tucked it behind her ears. Then she turned around and said "I'm on the court", then twisted her waist and walked towards the training ground.

In order to highlight the training effect of this scene, she needed to sweat profusely.

I don't want to rely on makeup, so I just jumped rope more than 500 times. My body is covered in real sweat, but I can't delay, because I have to jump again after it dries.

Sun Yi looked at the little girl's back as she appeared on the stage.

You know what, I'm a little moved.

I've never tried a look like this before.

The ball head, tight short training vest, revealing a slender waist, low-waisted training pants just stuck on the two waist dimples, the sweat on the waist looks a little greasy under the light, but it looks more tempting, making people distracted in an instant. The small buttocks below are tightly stretched by the training pants, and paired with two long legs and black military boots, it is simply beautiful and cool.

I have to talk to the costume team and ask them to order a few more sets of this outfit. This one is not prohibited.

"Director, actors, take your positions."

"Oh, okay, let's get started."

All the personnel were ready, so Sun Yi quickly gathered his attention, confirmed with each department again, and after receiving a definite reply, he started filming directly.

First, Tom Cruise walks into the camera, and the mobile camera follows behind him, first shooting his back, and then directly over his shoulder to shoot the surrounding environment, giving the audience a feeling that this is the protagonist's perspective.

Full of sense of immersion.

We walked through the mecha training hall, the shooting training hall, and finally the combat training hall. Tom Cruise stood at the door of the combat training hall, and the extras around him had gathered around him according to the script, with unfriendly looks in their eyes.

It was really puzzling that a strange soldier suddenly appeared at the training ground of the elite troops, especially since their captain was a rose in the army.

Without Sun Yi's instruction, the director of photography switched the lenses directly according to the shooting order.

Close-up of Liu Yifei.

From far to near.

She was doing a plank-like movement in the middle of the training ground, but she was not using her front elbows, but her hands. The weight of her whole body was concentrated on her forearms, and her waist and abdomen core also needed to exert continuous force.

This difficult move shows her strength at a glance.

Seeing Tom Cruise break into her training ground, she slowly turned her head with no expression on her face.

There was a close-up of her face, with fine beads of sweat on her forehead and wet temples. I don't know if it was a coincidence, but a drop of sweat slid down her swan-like neck, and the fair skin fell all the way to the clavicle without any obstruction.

The photographer is very good at seizing opportunities, recording the entire process and feeding the director real-time feedback of the camera images.

Sun Yi in front of the monitor swallowed subconsciously.

Oh my!
I am making a serious movie!!!

Sun Yi almost lost control.

It's not that he is unprofessional. After all, he is a well-trained person. But he really can't handle Liu Yifei. She is too unruly.

It’s not like that. The director is also a human being. You can’t always use this as a test.

Although the director almost lost control of the situation, the actors on the scene performed well and the filming continued.

Liu Yifei straightened her waist and exerted force on her upper body. The muscles on her arms and shoulder blades bulged slightly. Then she stood up neatly, still with that expression that said "keep away from strangers".

"Soldier, who are you? Who asked you to come here? This is not the place for you."

"It was you who made me come."

"?"

Liu Yifei was a little confused and frowned slightly. In her impression, she had no memory of this person.

One of them spoke Chinese and the other spoke English, but since they had rehearsed it many times in the morning, there was no sense of incongruity.

Tom Cruise reacted quickly and responded immediately.

"I saw you, on the beach where we will land tomorrow. You told me to come find you when I woke up. You must know something."

At this point, Liu Yifei's expression finally changed drastically, her eyes became sharp, and she blurted out: "Follow me."

Seeing this, Sun Yi happily snapped his fingers and said, "OK, very good. Everyone, take a break and I'll save another one later."

"Extras return to their positions, photographers return to their positions, and actors put on makeup again." The assistant director began to make arrangements.

Liu Yifei greeted Tom Cruise and then ran over to the studio. She didn't have much makeup on for this scene, and it was all sweat. If it dried up in a while, the worst that could happen was that she would just jump rope a few more times.

Sun Yi was quite surprised to see Liu Yifei coming to the surveillance studio instead of going to chat with Tom Cruise like before.

"Oh, why didn't you go to act with Tom? There's another one coming up soon."

"I would like to go, but I'm afraid someone will be jealous."

Liu Yifei sat down next to Sun Yi, rolled her eyes at him, and then spoke without any hesitation.

Sun Yi raised his eyes and quickly glanced around, "Don't talk nonsense, why are you jealous, I'm just working."

"Tsk tsk tsk, someone is just petty."

Sun Yi looked at Liu Yifei's arrogant face and the sound she made, as if she was teasing a pet. He immediately got angry and said in a pretended angry tone:
"Liu Qianqian, stop making trouble. It's working time now."

"You admit you're jealous."

"Ha, I'm jealous, impossible."

"Humph, I don't believe it~"

"Hiss you!"

I have been so busy during the New Year holidays, and coupled with the severe weather, I have been on duty more frequently, so I have not been able to keep up with the updates. I am really sorry for everyone. I would like to wish you all a happy New Year and good health and all the best in the new year.
