Huayu started as a substitute director

Chapter 641 Pressing My Hair

After the opening ceremony, filming began directly.

The story is set in the Pangaea Plain on Mars. Pangaea is the current name given to it.

This movie needs to have Chinese cultural characteristics, so of course it has to use a name that fits Chinese culture as the name of a continent on Mars.

This continent has a low altitude and a bumpy terrain, so astronomers believe that it may have been an ocean or a glacier in the past and has great scientific research value.

To put it simply, it means letting six astronauts come and dig the soil, and then bring it back to Earth for research.

The terrain will be photographed using a drone.

The protagonist played by Liu Tianxian has the lowest position among the six astronauts and has no decision-making power. Only she can make decisions if she is the only one left.

That is, when they were performing a mission on Mars, they encountered a storm and an accident occurred. Liu Tianxian was hit by a pot lid and was left alone on Mars.

Her teammates thought she was dead, but in fact she was not dead. She was half buried in the reddish-brown sand on Mars.

The plot starts filming from here, filming the scene where Liu Tianxian survives alone on Mars, and then filming the scene where several people encounter a storm.

That scene was quite difficult to shoot and needed to be shot in a studio.

At this time, the crew was setting up the scene, which was the scene after the storm, with machines scattered all over the ground and debris everywhere.

Fang Hong, wearing a baseball cap, was checking the terrain and simulating the shooting angles here with art director Li Anran, photographer Liu Yin, visual effects designer Chen Xiuwei, and assistant director Shen Ao.

"The colors on Mars are mainly orange-red, rust and warm brown. Do you think it's possible to take pictures of it?" Fang Hong asked Liu Yin.

"You can shoot it and adjust it later." Liu Yin said.

Fang Hong nodded, looked at the environment, and discussed the visual style of the shooting with them.

Then I checked to see if other recording equipment, lighting equipment, tracks, jibs, lifts, monitors, etc. had been set up.

It is very troublesome to shoot a scene. There are many things to prepare and many machines to set up.

However, all these can be carried out in an orderly manner. His filming team is an ace team, an ace team that he has trained for six years.

At this time, Liu Tianxian was having her hair cut. She was going to cut her long hair and leave short hair.

Because she thought female astronauts all had short hair.

She saw that all the female astronauts in our country were like this, with short and neat hair.

It's not so particular in the United States.

"Sister Xixi, don't you think it's a pity to cut such beautiful hair?" The female stylist was behind her, operating the scissors.

Her long flowing hair was cut off with one stroke!

"What's a pity? It will grow back again." Liu Tianxian didn't care at all about having her long black hair cut.

“You won’t feel like you have lost your image. If your fans find out, they will lose followers,” said the stylist.

"I'm doing this for the role. It fits the role's needs. They will understand." Liu Tianxian said.

If you don't understand this, then you will lose fans.

The stylist asked again. "What about the principal, does he agree?"

"He agrees. He supports me very much." Liu Tianxian said this to Fang Hong without asking for his consent.

In fact, you can cut your hair or not, you can put it up, but Liu Tianxian wants to cut it.

"I envy you for having such a supportive husband. I also think that the principal is a very nice person. It's just that people outside always say that the principal cheated on you and that you two are getting divorced. They are just deliberately spreading rumors." The stylist puffed up his cheeks, seeming very indignant.

They are both very nice people, but people always spread bad things about them.

This is everywhere on the Internet. There are often articles like this saying that Fang Hong is cheating and having an affair.

There were rumors and short essays about Liu Tianxian enduring humiliation for resources and that the principal was too powerful so she had to stay by his side, all of which were very convincing.

"It's all for traffic, let them do whatever they want." Liu Tianxian didn't care.

"Sister Xixi, you are so generous. If it were someone else, they would have been angry and sued you a long time ago." said the stylist.

"What else can I do? I can't just shut someone up. Actually, I'm very angry too, but I still have to keep a calm mind. After all, I'm a public figure." Liu Tianxian chatted.

The stylist held a mirror in front of her and said, "Sister Xixi, do you think this is okay?"

"Okay, thank you." Liu Tianxian fiddled with her hair to the right and thought it was okay.

After cutting her hair, she changed her clothes and changed into a space suit, which was similar to the space suit in "Gravity", but this time it was more slim-fitting and not so bulky.

After all, she was going to be moving around in this outfit, not floating in space, so it was still quite particular.

Unlike space suits, space suits have more complex structures and functions, and can protect astronauts from space debris, high-energy radiation and extreme temperatures in extreme environments.

This is also one of the reasons why the protagonist can survive.

Space suits are mainly used when traveling on manned spacecraft.

This scene required inserting an iron stick into the "abdomen" of her space suit. The plot was that the iron stick penetrated the space suit and inserted into her "abdomen", causing the life detector to fail.

The iron skewer is the antenna on the pot lid. There is no need to actually insert it here, just operate it on the space suit.

Several staff members surrounded Liu Tianxian, putting on a space suit for her. A female staff member squatted on the ground and smeared red sticky liquid on her "abdomen" where the iron skewer was inserted.

The detail here is that the protagonist bled a lot in her abdomen, and the "blood" seeped along the antenna into the leaking gap. The low-pressure environment on Mars made the blood viscous and blocked the gap, allowing her to survive.

The logic of being able to survive on Mars makes sense.

Just as Liu Tianxian was putting on her space suit and applying "abdomen" makeup, Fang Hong walked up to them from not far away.

Seeing Liu Tianxian with short hair like a tomboy, he couldn't help but frowned: "You..."

"What's wrong? Doesn't it look good?" Liu Tianxian was not wearing a helmet at this time.

"It looks good." Fang Hong nodded.

In fact, he was not used to it. He still liked her with long flowing hair. Short hair made her look less fairy-like.

But there is also another temperament, a sense of art.

"That's great. You won't have to press my hair down anymore." Liu Tianxian teased.

Others felt that this was very meaningful and smiled awkwardly. Liu Tianxian really said everything. She was so straightforward. Fang Hong looked at her speechlessly and did not answer.

This is something that only happens when two people sleep in the same bed.

"Sister Xixi, everything is ready. I will put the helmet on you now." The head of the clothing team took out the glass helmet of the space suit and was about to put it on her.

"Give it to me, I'll put it on her." Fang Hong stepped forward, took the glass helmet, and raised his hand to tidy up Liu Tianxian's hair.

Liu Tianxian had a smile on her face and her eyes were as bright as water.

Fang Hong slowly put the glass helmet on her, then knocked her head with a "bang" and turned away.

"Hey, you." Liu Tianxian followed and patted his shoulder.

Fang Hong didn't care and asked with concern: "How is it? Is it hot?"

"It's okay, just a little stuffy, but I can hold on." Liu Tianxian said that it was okay.

Although it is cool in the Western Regions, the Gobi Desert is still very hot without any shelter, and the gravel under your feet also provides heat. The sand underground is very hot when you put your hands on it.

"Come on!" Fang Hong raised his fist.

"Well! Come on!" Liu Tianxian seemed encouraged.

All the crew's preparations were complete. Fang Hong held the intercom and shouted, "All departments, take your positions and prepare to start filming the first scene of the day."

Over there, under the guidance of assistant director Shen Ao, Liu Tianxian buried half of her body and her head in the gravel.

She was wearing a helmet and was fine. There were staff members nearby who sprinkled some gravel on her, which was the messy scene after the storm.

"Yifei, you were short of oxygen when you woke up, and your abdomen was injured."

Shen Ao squatted down and explained the play to her briefly, then said, "If sand gets into your clothes and you feel uncomfortable, tell me."

The gravel is quite hot and I was afraid she couldn't bear it. After all, she is a spoiled young lady.

Liu Tianxian nodded slightly without saying anything. She did feel the temperature of the sand was scorching hot, but this scene was originally shot during the day, so she just had to hold on for a while.

The sand in the Western Region can reach as high as 70 degrees, and 40 degrees is the norm. Even though the air is not too hot, the sand is exposed to the sun all year round and is very hot.

It also hurts when it hits hard stone.

Shen Ao stood up and made an "OK" gesture to Fang Hong. Everyone else stepped back, leaving Liu Tianxian alone.

The camera robotic arm moved in the air, and Liu Yin personally took the first shot.

"Start!" Fang Hong shouted.

"Scene 36, shot 1!"

The stage manager slapped the board with a "bang" and then stepped back.

This is not the shot of the first scene. A lot of the previous plot was skipped. It started shooting from the 36th scene.

When editing, the plot will be sorted by scene numbering, and the coherence of the plot can be restored through numbering.

The number of shots refers to how many times a shot is taken.

On the monitor, Liu Tianxian woke up. She was breathing heavily in the helmet with a painful expression. Feeling the pain in her abdomen, she cried out in pain.

In the original version, there is a mechanical "beep! beep!" alarm sound, as well as a mechanical prompt sound.

This sound was dubbed later and is not available now.

Liu Tianxian gasped and struggled to stand up, with gravel on his body falling off.

"Boom!"

A silk thread was instantly stretched straight, pulling the lid of a large pot not far away.

There was also a wound on the iron skewer on her abdomen.

"Ah!" Liu Tianxian let out a shrill scream, and just as she stood up, she was forced to half-kneel on the ground.

Watching her performance, everyone around her felt pain.

Fang Hong, who was standing behind the monitor, crossed his legs, supported his chin with one hand and watched quietly.

Liu Tianxian's acting skills have improved. After all, she has filmed so many dramas in recent years and has been guided by so many elite directors. She is not like some directors who just want to make money.

It doesn't matter whether you act well or not.

"Hu! Hu!" Liu Tianxian breathed heavily to relieve the pain, took out a small knife from her waist and cut the wire.

Then she stood up and walked towards the base in the distance.

"Crack!"

Fang Hong shouted, and the staff stopped. He walked up to Liu Tianxian and said, "When you walk, one foot should be heavy and the other light."

"Is that so?" Liu Tianxian simulated it and took two steps, limping like an old man.

"No, your left abdomen is injured. That way you should walk. Bend your waist slightly, keep your left foot light and your right foot heavy." After Fang Hong said this, he demonstrated it to her.

I saw him covering the left side of his abdomen, walking forward with one heavy foot and the other light, and he looked like he was limping.

But it's not the feeling of being powerless, but it gives people the feeling of being injured.

"Got it?" Fang Hong took two steps and then walked back.

"I understand!" Liu Tianxian nodded and understood.

Her current state is conveyed through actions: she is trapped on Mars, injured, and the world is about to collapse.

"Start again from the beginning. You need to be patient when filming this scene." Fang Hong said, and returned to the monitor to continue filming.

Liu Tianxian nodded heavily and started the performance again from the beginning.

Although she performed well before, she has not yet reached the emotional level of pain and hurt. She will be able to perform even better after performing it a few more times and getting into the right state.

You can choose a better one and edit them together later.
