Dragon, choose cultural victory to make money

Chapter 23 Studio
In the dead of night, in the silence, there was the sound of wheels rolling over the cobblestone road.

Four griffins pulled the carriage and galloped along Cornflower Street.

The driver was a bald man with brown skin. He dozed off with his head drooped unconsciously.

The fog was so thick that even the griffins couldn't see the road clearly.

Suddenly, a crimson object appeared in front of it. The griffin couldn't avoid it and crashed into it directly.

"Boom!"

The car ran over the thing and its wheels hit the ground heavily. The car had no suspension system to speak of, and the driver was startled by the strong bumps and hurriedly pulled the reins.

He looked around nervously at first, and when he saw that there was no one else on the street, he breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the oil light in the car, and went to check what he had just hit.

Holding a stick in his hand just in case, he moved to the scene step by step, illuminated it with a flashlight, and saw a red dragon. He poked it with the stick, but there was no response.

He quickly returned to the car and drove away.

The streets returned to silence.

The fog grew thicker.

Suddenly, the Asian dragon lying on the ground began to twitch more and more violently until it stood up in a twisted posture.

His eyes were pale, his blood vessels were bulging, and his fangs were exposed.

"Ka!" Elsa shouted holding up the loudspeaker.

The lighting magic at the scene then lit up, and Fulin dispelled the smoke and the illusion on Drogo.

The bald brown man, of course, was Soran, trotting back with his griffin.

He said excitedly: "Director, how is it? I feel that my performance is still lacking. I had a new feeling when I came back just now. Why don't we shoot it again..."

In the distance, the stage manager Toto whispered to Yuno, "Isn't he a legendary wizard? How did you trick him into coming for the shoot?"

"No lie," Yuno answered while directing the undead camera, "We told him that he could hit Drogo, and then he came. He was quite enthusiastic. He brought his own car. I heard that those griffins were gifts from the royal family. Normally, they are not willing to use them as mounts."

Toto was speechless. Ever since she was recruited by Drogo, the world of the strong has refreshed her cognition time and time again.

She originally thought that these strong men were all serious and cold, but an ancient dragon and a legendary wizard mostly eliminated her respect for the strong.

That legendary illusionist whom I had never met before wasn't quite normal either.

She carries a small notebook with her and draws in it whenever she has free time. She cannot understand what she draws at all. It is either a mess of lines or just random ink dots scribbled on with a pen.

It turns out that the world is just a huge makeshift team.

This scene was eventually shot again.

It was not to satisfy Sauron's wish to hit the dragon, but mainly because Drogo was not satisfied with his performance.

I didn’t expect acting to be so difficult.

The original plan was to just hit an ordinary animal and tell the audience that there was a plot crisis that could explode at any time.

There is no animal protection organization here, so if animals die on the set, they die, which is just the right thing to do to provide extra food for the crew.

However, Drogo insisted on killing himself in the plot, saying that it was an Easter egg and a tribute to a director he liked very much.

After discussion, everyone finally arranged him here.

This is also the last scene that needs to be filmed in Shuangta City. Next, everyone will go to the first film and television base in this world - Shudian.

The other actors had arrived on the island a week ago for simple training, learning how to use the various tools needed during the filming and adapting to being with a bunch of undead people connected to cameras.

The entire group of hybrid beasts was brought by Drogo. Except for a few leading actors, the others served as extras and were responsible for handling various chores.

Also doing odd jobs were students from the academy's magic dodgeball club. Their parts could have been completed in one day, but they chose to stay on the island and work. They did not need to be paid, but only needed an internship certificate.

"'The Journey to the Holy Mountain', Crystal 7, Scene 35, 12 takes, 6th time, start." As Toto tapped the clapperboard, all the staff members took action.

This scene is the first part of the protagonist, a half-orc and dodgeball player, who learns that his relatives are trapped in the toilet of a carriage by zombies and goes to rescue them.

The shooting is very difficult, with dozens of actors used in one scene. Also, unlike the zombie tide that simply chases people, they need to fight with the protagonist group, which requires high positioning, and the camera must also capture a sense of movement.

The orc took the lead, stood up and kicked the first zombie in front of him.

"stop."

The filming was stopped just after the first action was completed.

"The fighting moves look so fake."

Drogo was a little annoyed. This was the sixth time the same shot had been shot.

Unlike other simple literary scenes, this scene requires a lot of preparation every time it starts again.

However, it is understandable that the orcs are timid. After all, the zombie actors they are facing are real patients, and no one wants anything to happen to them during the filming process.

How to do it?

Otherwise, you can only change your movements and make the range of motion smaller so that it is easier to control.

But that would seriously weaken the tension and make it seem more like a show.

There is a remedy for this, which is to add a lot of fast editing to make up for the lack of power in the action itself. Hollywood often does this when shooting action scenes for actors who don't have good basic skills. It looks intimidating at first glance, but it can't stand up to closer scrutiny.

At this time, it would be great if there was a Cheng family student or an action director from the Zhen family student team.

While hesitating, the actor who was kicked down found Elsa and pleaded in his tone, "Just let the orc use force. I can bear it. It's no problem."

It was clear from his expression that he thought he was the one who delayed the filming, and he felt guilty about it and was afraid of losing the job.

People with low self-esteem always tend to attribute their mistakes to themselves and make unnecessary apologies.

"In fact, we can find Soran, or his students," Fulin saw Drogo's dilemma, "Your plan never seems to be based on magic. If you are worried about the actors getting hurt, why not cast protective spells on them?"

"Forehead……"

Drogo thought about it and it seemed to be true. He could only blame himself for his lack of knowledge of magic.

When he was still a young dragon, he was slower than other dragons in learning to breathe fire. He even tried to store flammable liquid in his stomach and hold a flint in his mouth to achieve chemical fire breathing.

Why Drogo only breathed twice became an unsolved mystery in the eyes of the young dragons.

Of course, I still have to be tough in front of Fulin.

"I actually thought of it a long time ago. I'm just testing you."

Two hours later, a student of Soren's who was in urgent need of credits arrived at the store.

After applying a layer of transparent shield to each actor who had a close-up shot of being beaten, the effect was immediate.

This shield completely covers the body, and even the deformation of the flesh caused by the impact will be retained, but it will not cause any damage.

From the visual effect point of view, every punch is real, which is an expressiveness that even the mature film industry on earth cannot achieve.

It's very unscientific, but very magical. Drogo suspects that everyone in this world actually has a hidden health bar above their heads. If the shield is not broken, the attack will be effective but no blood will be lost.

At the same time, this student also brought another good thing, the magic of phonograph, whose radio reception effect beats all kinds of live radio equipment on the earth.

It is said that due to the increased demand for eavesdropping during the war, the sound recording spell began to iterate wildly. Now it is used to shoot magic shadows, and the military in the other world has been converted to civilian use.

With the help of defensive magic, the efficiency was greatly improved and the filming was completed in less than a month.
