Chapter 468 Space Rescue! (The third update asks for subscription!)
It has been 10 days since I came to Yinchuan, and the progress of shooting every day is very fast.

Astronaut Lin Hua played by Liu Ye is a very strong man both physically and psychologically.

This is the most important point. If you grasp this characteristic well, with Liu Ye's appearance and acting skills, there will be no major problems in acting.

No matter how strong a person is, he also has a weak side. When eating food alone in the base at night, he will also have a lonely, helpless, and even desperate side.

However, in most cases, he remains optimistic.

The status quo is already like this, if he is negative, then he will collapse within a few days on Mars.

When I landed on the space agency's system to make records on the first night, which is equivalent to a "suicide note", I was still very calm, optimistic and funny.

Being optimistic and humorous is not difficult for Liu Ye, even funny comparisons are easy to come by.

"Crack."

Halfway through the shooting in the morning, Tang An called to stop.

Big and small problems were unavoidable during the filming process, and there was another problem with the lighting today. Tang An, Ye Jintian, Zhang Li, and Zhou Ren got together to discuss and tried various plans, and finally Tang An made a decision.

"Using 5 Arrimax 18K and 12K HMI Par lights with Rosco 1/2 Soft Frost."

Whether it is the sunlight on the surface of Mars or the indoor light of the human base, or the sunlight shining on the ceiling of the base, it has to go through countless experiments to achieve the expected effect.

Human Center completely uses the indoor lighting for setting the scene, basically does not need any other lighting equipment, and can easily distinguish the interior and exterior scenes.

The indoor scenes tend to be monochromatic, clean and modern, while the outdoors are full of fantasy.

The Martian sunlight that shines on the translucent dome of the human center uses a neutral color. This contrast between the interior and exterior makes the audience not bored with the earthy red on the surface of Mars.

"Okay, let's continue filming."

After dealing with a problem, Tang An sat back in front of the monitor.

But then came new problems.

Photographer Zhang Li raised his hand to stop when he was taking a close-up shot, and he walked over and said.

"Director Tang, Liu Ye's helmet still reflects the light, why don't you remove the cover on the helmet and add it later."

Tang An shook his head. In order to prevent the reflection of light, they only used a single direction light when shooting people, but there will still be a little shadow of the camera on the cover of the helmet.

This can only be done in post-production, but whether to make the cover with CG or erase the camera shadow reflected on the cover depends on how convenient it is in post-production.

He had already handed over the problem to Tiangong Yicai. After two days, there should have been a solution there, so Tang An made a call.

"Hey, old Xiao, how's it going?"

"Tang Dong, it's almost solved. If it's all studio shooting, then erase the reflection in post-production. If it's outdoor shooting, remove the mask and do CG in post-production."

"Okay, then we will shoot like this."

Tang An hung up the phone and said to Zhang Li, "Erasure it later, and remove the cover after the exterior scene."

Continue shooting.

After a busy morning, I moved into the "big shed" in the afternoon to film the scene of growing potatoes.

The varieties with the fastest maturity cycle of potatoes also take 60 days. Tang An and the others only took pictures here for a little over a month. It is impossible to really start from scratch and then shoot on a specific day.

However, plowing, sowing, fertilizing, and watering are all real shots.

The scene of sowing seeds was filmed before, and now the potatoes in it have entered the stage of growing.

"No.30 seven scenes, one shot, one shot!"

"start!"

"I am now the greatest botanist on the planet. According to a foreign saying a long time ago, if you grow crops everywhere, then there is your colony."

"So, I colonized Mars, I was the first, and Armstrong was weak."

Liu Ye introduced these potatoes with a bit of pride and humor. Since getting in touch with the Earth and Space Administration, the character's state has become more and more cheerful.

At 3:[-] p.m., today we will be filming the scene where the aerospace team successfully picks up Liu Ye over Mars, which is also the last scene of Li Binbin, Jiang Wu, Yang Mi, and Wang Kai.

The few of them still have other things to do, so we simply let them go after filming.

Changed to another studio, and all kinds of equipment, rail cars, and wires are ready.

Although this scene is not long, it is not very complicated. It seems that Li Binbin reached a distance of more than 100 meters from Liu Ye through the traction rope, and then Liu Ye used the exhaust pressure to make him rise and finally merged with Li Binbin and was pulled by the traction rope together. Get on the spaceship.

The actual operation is extremely cumbersome, and the space agency has provided references for various data, and demonstrated it on the computer many times to obtain a feasible data.

Including the angle and distance between various props, as well as the angle and distance with the camera.

Even the scene of Liu Ye flying randomly after exhausting the pressure in the small aircraft could not be filmed. For the personal perspective in the aircraft, an internal model of the small aircraft had to be built to make a complete CG interior for this shot.

Everything is ready to start working.

"Are the departments ready?"

"Photography OK!"

"Props OK!"

"OK!"

The space rescue is about to start, even if it is filming, it will inevitably make people excited.

After confirming that it was correct, Tang An shouted loudly.

"The actors are in place!"

"No.70 one scene, one shot, one shot!"

"start!"

In order to make Liu Ye's performance physical, the struggle with centrifugal force makes the scene more real.

Probably the hardest part for the actors was getting them to imagine what was around this giant green screen scene.

Liu Ye stayed on a truss with a swivel joint in the middle, while the others dangled on ropes.

On the other side, Li Binbin on the spacecraft also fixed the traction rope and lowered it to the middle position.

Liu Ye stayed on a truss with a rotating universal joint, and the rail car controller moved forward under the entire truss.

The camera is above Liu Ye through the bracket, and then the animation axis is made in the later stage.

Li Binbin looked anxiously at Liu Ye who was rolling towards him, and Liu Ye was affected by the weightlessness while moving forward, and he let the truss roll irregularly, and he had to make various expressions and movements.

Getting closer!

The two sides converged!
But still pass by!

However, Liu Ye grabbed the leash and kept spinning it around in a mess.

Because the outer space is gravityless, the traction rope will not fall and float in the air.

But it was obviously impossible during shooting, so it needs to be added through CG production in the later stage.

"Nice to meet you!"

The two held hands together, Liu Ye shouted with a hint of excitement.

"But you don't know much about music."

In this tense moment, we reunited after a long absence, and even made a joke.

"Okay, let's go!"

The space rescue was successfully completed!

PS: The third update arrives, it's a bit late, go to bed quickly.
