Shadow queen development plan

"Lynch, let your people go up to the lifting platform, and change some of the doll angels suspended in the air to manual operations."

The head of the props group was about to leave, Qiye patted his arm again, and exhorted, "Remember, I want 5 dolls to be manipulated!"

Although the scene of Blue Mao's first battle lasted nearly 5 minutes, it was cut into many short shots.

Especially in the battle scene between Sayaka and the envoy, Qiye will switch back and forth between the close and the distant scenes.

Now they are shooting far-sighted shots, so Nanya plans to replace the envoy of the box witch with real props.

When it's close, it will change to a stuntman wearing a motion capture suit.

Originally, there were only two dolls that looked like single-winged angels in the story.

But in order to make the fight more attractive, and to make Sayaka more handsome, Qiye increased the number of these dolls.

This of course increased the difficulty of shooting, after all, the use of ropes to control the doll itself is not a simple matter.

When other movies are lined up with this kind of similar shots, they will use real people to perform, and then hang a string on the body to have a meaning.

But this time the set scene is quite special, the dolls are basically suspended in mid-air.

In addition to the arrangement of the waiting action scene, there are many scenes where Sayaka cut off the doll.

If a live action is used, the lens will definitely be chopped.

In this case, the visual effect Qiye wants cannot be achieved.

Fortunately, the props of the crew began to prepare a long time ago.

Finally, I found a few craftsmen performing puppet shows in the city of Wellington, and I asked them to come and help shoot this set of shots.

Although the cost is not small, Qiye believes it is worth it.

Over the years, Qiye knew very well that shooting movies was never a simple matter.

It is not that you have a good script or director to do all the work.

It’s not that there are people who have such thoughts, but basically all of them have been miserably scammed, at least the money invested is lost.

For example, some big dogs.

Speaking of big dogs, Qiye originally wanted to pull the oil guys from the Middle East into the pit of "Little Circle".

After all, the other party doesn't ask for the benefit of the movie, but only hopes to establish an international image.

However, the setting of the magical girl is really incompatible with their country.

Hassan is wearing a black mask and wearing a mask, which can be fooled.

But the light and fluttering clothes of the magical girl really couldn't help it.

And Qiye couldn't design the magical girl to wrap her whole body, only revealing the shape of two eyeballs.

However, after communicating with the big dogs for a long time, Qiye still retained the image of a magical girl as an Arab belly dancer in the movie, and received a sponsorship of US$5 million.

This role will appear in the final scene of Dekame Yuanxiang becoming a god, and it can be regarded as a contribution to the integration of the world's nations.

Only when it was released in the Middle East, this shot would be cut off.

Propaganda in the Middle East will only assume that this role does not exist at all.

"So those big dogs are hypocritical."

When Barrie told Qiye the result of the discussion, Qiye was full of black lines.

The so-called taking off pants and farting should describe this situation.

However, the oil guys have really not had a good life these days.

Anyway, in Qiye's memory, this time was the most difficult time for them.

Although with the help of puppet masters, Qiye still filmed the battle for two days.

This is the close-up battle shot that needs to be continued after not counting.

After the shooting is over, these carefully crafted puppets can only be turned into rubbish and treated as waste.

After all, these props were severely damaged during the shooting process, and they neither had collection value nor displayed them.

Whenever this happens, people in the props group and art direction department will always have a trace of perseverance.

Too much of their painstaking efforts have been concentrated on these elaborate props.

Things that I spent a few weeks or even last month to make were discarded after a few days.

No one will feel good about this.

It can also be seen from this aspect that the more heavily invested the film, the preparation time in the early stage is several times or even ten times longer than the time used for shooting.

Many scenes that have been carefully prepared for a few months may end up in only a few minutes in the movie.

This situation is not too obvious in 2008, after all, directors like Qiye or Cameron are still in the minority.

In the past few years, when 100 million US dollars will become the basic starting point of mainstream commercial films, when special effects become the mainstream selling point of films.

The production cycle of Hollywood films will be unrestrictedly prolonged.

The combined time of pre-preparation and post-production can even account for more than 60% of the total production time of the movie, or even longer.

If you count the time for publicity before the show, the shooting time alone will be further compressed.

Don't talk about the development of movie CG special effects.

If it were not for refined CG, the post-production of the film would not be stretched longer and longer.

In such a general environment, the industrialization and assembly line of film will be further highlighted.

The vast majority of directors will even be rigidly detained in this process, framed by various requirements and restrictions.

The large investment of hundreds of millions of dollars also determines that the production company will not take the production process as a trifling matter.

Except for the top batch of directors, other directors must follow the Hollywood pipeline model.

The success of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, from the perspective of film production, is actually the result of Marvel's film industrialization process to the extreme and maximum efficiency.

This is why, in large commercial films, except for a few directors like Nolan, it is difficult for other directors to fully express their ideas in the film.

To put it bluntly, if it were not for cheating to maintain success, Qiye would not have such a large creative autonomy.
