Chapter 1668: Shooting begins (evolving from rolling to a cat rolling with its head)

Chapter 1668: Shooting begins (evolving from rolling to a cat rolling with its head)

With everything in place, filming soon began.

The shooting of science fiction movies is quite expensive, because it requires a lot of CGI for special effects. Even Duanmuhuai can't support it with so much money. So after some discussions with Director Shimizu, we finally decided to shoot all the shots that didn’t require special effects.

In fact, with the development of technology now, CGI can be said to be omnipotent in movies. As long as you have enough money, you can even create the effect of a group of actors traveling to Arizona in a poorly equipped movie studio. However, if you actually go to the shooting location to shoot, the money spent will be much less than the production of special effects.

The entire movie is roughly divided into three scenes.

One is Kyoto after the disaster. The protagonist and others will travel through the streets and ancient capital of Kyoto while collecting supplies, and fight against mutant creatures and zombies wandering here.

Then there is the survivor camp, and finally the villain's biochemical research institute.

The latter two are easier to find. Due to the aging population and the impact of the original economic bubble, Japan is full of deserted villages and abandoned and bankrupt factories. The filming team quickly contacted the local government and chose an abandoned gathering place as the filming location and filming location. It was once a research base built by a pharmaceutical company, but later the unlucky company went bankrupt during the bubble economy era, and the place was abandoned.

For the local government, it is a good thing for the film crew to come here to shoot. If the movie really becomes popular all over the world, then they will definitely attract a large wave of traffic and tourists here, so it is very supportive and welcome. Therefore, the crew quickly obtained a filming permit, and the government even expressed its willingness to block off the urban area for them to facilitate the filming and filming.

In this way, some funds can be saved.

The next special effects funds are mainly... stunt performances.

For example, in movies like Marvel or Superman, the actors in them don't know any stunts or martial arts, and they can't jump several meters high to tear off a helicopter, so in fact, these are all special effects. For Duanmu Huai, it is natural to save money in this area.

To put it simply... no special effects are needed, just do it yourself.

For example, this next scene.

"Xiao Ai, are you serious?"

Standing in the factory, looking at the scene in front of him, Arima Ganai widened his eyes in surprise, with a look of disbelief on his face. The next scene is the first time the protagonist and heroine encounter danger and are surrounded by monsters. Just when they were desperately waiting for death, the murderer played by Duanmu Huai broke through the wall, jumped down from above, and came in to kill the monsters mercilessly, while the male protagonist and the female protagonist took the opportunity to escape.

Originally, this scene could have been done with CGI, but Duanmuhuai said that special effects don't cost money, and I can do it myself for free! And more real!

Keep it real! This is what I do, can I still fake it for you?

But…………

"There should be no problem with this factory. I looked at it."

Duanmu Huai was wearing armor and stretched out his hand to knock on the wall next to him.

"This is not a load-bearing wall, so it will be fine if it breaks."

"But you really have to jump from a height of five meters."

"It's not like I didn't jump. Don't worry, I know kung fu and am wearing heavy armor. It won't hurt me."

“Really…………?”

"I'm not a fool. This has just begun. If something happens to me if I insist on it, won't I be the unlucky one?"

"That's right."

Hearing this, Arima Kanai also nodded. Although she still felt a little weird, but... Duanmu Huai said this, so she could only watch.

Soon, filming began.

By the way, in the movie, this scene shows the two protagonists being surrounded by a group of twisted and mutated monsters, but in fact, at the filming scene, it was just a group of special effects actors wearing tight suits full of sensors, twisting towards them like zombies. Twisting around - well, this shows that you really can't watch the blockbuster live, otherwise you will die laughing.

The reason why Duanmu Huai is allowed to appear from a high place is to show the oppressive and imposing manner that hides the BOSS's condescension.

In fact, when Duanmu Huai was originally designed, he wanted to fully comply with the specifications of the Astartes. Unfortunately, his body was indeed short-handed and short-legged, so he had to settle for the battle sister's armor. Since you can't use a height of 2.5 meters to intimidate, you have to work hard from the height of the scene.

"Then, scene 157, let's start shooting!"

With an order from Director Shimizu, filming began.

At the same time, the staff and actors on the scene also held their breath and stared at this scene. Many of them are working with Duanmu Huai for the first time, so the director wants them to stay here, mainly to... well, get used to Duanmu Huai's murderous aura and sense of oppression.

Otherwise, by the time they shoot, they won’t know how many times it will take to get through.

Arimagana and Kurokawa Akane also stared at the wall and clasped their hands. Although they believed in Duanmu Huai's strength, they were still a little worried.

Then... Duanmu Huai appeared.

"Boom!!"

The next moment, in full view of everyone, the hard cement wall exploded as if it had been exploded by a bomb, and then a figure holding a warhammer and a shield and wearing dark heavy armor strode out of it!

Just seeing this scene made the entire shooting scene suddenly become silent. Everyone was intimidated by the figure emerging from the smoke and stared at it. It was as if they were not filming a movie at this moment, but were actually in a horrific world after a disaster.

Duanmuhuai lowered his head, a cold red light flashed in his helmet, then he stared at the special effects actors on the ground, and then jumped down from the sky!

"Boom!!"

Under the gaze of everyone, Duanmuhuai hit the ground like a cannonball. The entire ground sank and cracked. Even the staff standing not far away felt the ground tremble. They stood there blankly, feeling the incomparable and terrifying killing intent, and then they saw Duanmu Huai stand up...

"Whoaaahhhh!!"

At this moment, the actors suddenly screamed, turned around and ran away!

"CUT!!"

Director Qing Shui saw this and hurriedly stopped. The staff members also hurriedly stepped forward and stopped the special effects actors who were running around like headless flies.

"What are you doing? According to the script, you should rush forward at this time!"

In the script, the monsters discovered Duanmu Huai at this time and rushed to fight him. The protagonist and the heroine took the opportunity to escape.

In the end, you actually ran away?

If you all ran away, why don't you act like a deer! Isn’t the protagonist dead?

On the set, the director has the greatest power. Director Qingshui also sneered at the group of special effects actors, who were also frightened and were stunned for a moment before they came back to their senses tremblingly.

"But, director, we really thought we were going to die..."

"This is a filming, but it's not real!"

Hearing the answers from the special effects actors, Director Qing Shui was helpless, but he had worked with Duanmu Huai more than once, and he knew that Duanmu Huai's momentum was indeed not something that ordinary people could bear. In fact, when I was making horror movies in the past, sometimes it wasn't the protagonists who performed well, but that they were really scared by Duanmu Huai and screamed. The true feelings are revealed.

It's just that horror movies can make noises, but you can't do this with science fiction movies!

"Do it again!"

Of course, this time, it was impossible to let Duanmuhuai hit the wall and jump off the building. Instead, he landed directly from Duanmuhuai, and then the special effects actors rushed towards him and started filming.

In fact, this scene is quite simple in theory, because these special effects actors do not need to perform at all, they just pretend to run over, and CGI special effects will be used to modify them into monsters later. But even so, it would be difficult for these special effects actors to really let go of their movements and run over to Duanmu Huai, who was standing there motionless.

According to what they said, it felt like they would be smashed into pieces by the hammer in the opponent's hand the next moment they rushed over.

Well, the director understands this deeply, so…………

"It's okay, just get used to it."

In this way, this scene was reshot again and again, and everyone else who watched it was frightened.

"Is this considered bullying on set?"

Seeing the director shouting NG for the twenty-seventh time, Arima Kana was shaking all over, and Kurokawa Akane's expression was also very complicated.

Check out the 16-9 book bar to see the correct version!

"It shouldn't count, right? Because they can't run by themselves..."

"But to be honest, I'm scared to be close to such a little love."

Looking at Duanmu Huai, who was standing motionless like a cold robot, Arima Kanai couldn't help but shudder.

"We don't have a scene against Xiao Ai."

"There was a scene where he was being chased, and then he seemed to die, but it was not filmed directly."

"That's good."

Arima Ganai let out a sigh of relief.

"I can definitely perform this escape."

"I don't think it needs to be acted at all."

Kurokawa Akane also complained silently.

After that, Director Qing Shui asked Duanmu Huai to restrain himself again and again, and he continued to retake it until the fifty-eighth time.

When the director announced that the scene was over, the special effects actors collapsed to the ground, sweating profusely as if they had been fished out of the water...

On the contrary, Duanmu Huai... Well, nothing happened. After all, he really didn't do anything. After jumping down, he just stood there without any lines. He was very relaxed.

In other words, Duanmuhuai was very relaxed throughout the movie.

Most of the time, he doesn't need to say a word. He only calls out "brother" twice in the male protagonist's memory clips. In the entire movie, Duanmu Huai only appears four times - the first time was filmed before, male and female. The Lord is surrounded and then he appears to kill monsters. Then for the second time, the hero and heroine went to the city with the team to collect materials, and they passed by Duanmu Huai and escaped.

The third time was due to a mistake, Duanmu Huai followed him to the gathering place and started killing people. The characters of Ari Magana and Kurokawa Akane also died in this scene. Finally, the male protagonist thought of a way to lure Duanmu Huai out of the gathering place, and then saved the rest of the people.

In the end, the male and female protagonists went to the research institute to search for clues and the truth, and were chased by Duanmu Huai. Then the monster BOSS appeared, and Duanmu Huai chose to destroy the monster. The male and female protagonists activated the self-destruct button of the base together, killing Duanmu Huai and the monster BOSS together with the entire The base was blown to ashes.

There are not many scenes, and Duanmu Huai is also very satisfied. Just like the tyrant in Resident Evil, he doesn't appear many times, but he doesn't frighten the players every time he appears.

This is the effect you want.

Of course, whether it dies or not in the end is still a matter of suspense. After all, if the box office is high, a second film will be made.

Director Shimizu had already thought about it. When filming the ending, he would shoot the ruins of the research institute, then make a "crash" sound, as if something was about to burst out of the ground, and then end it.

In this way, it is up to the audience to think for themselves whether Duanmu Huai is still alive.

This time, Director Shimizu used segmented shooting. Because it was too troublesome to block off the urban area, Director Shimizu decided to finish shooting the scenes in the city first, then the survivors’ camp, and finally the research institute. Duanmu Huai's role is considered to be the smallest, so we finished filming his part first.

Therefore, while others are busy shooting, Duanmuhuai, who has completed the task, can fish.

"Well, it's really more comfortable to wear this."

Wearing armor, Duanmuhuai walked up and down the streets. This is an abandoned area near the outskirts of Kyoto, where the current crew is located. Most of the people were busy filming, but after Duanmu Huai finished filming the previous scenes and the scenes where he passed by the male and female protagonists, he had nothing to do for the time being.

At least I can relax these days.

I have nothing to do, why not go to a hot spring or something?

"————————!"

Just when Duanmu Huai was thinking about how to fish these days, suddenly, he felt that the sharp blade beside him trembled violently as if it sensed something!

Did you encounter any trouble again?

Feeling the trembling of the blood blade, Duanmu Huai was stunned for a moment. You must know that there were evil spirits when the sword trembled before. Could it be the same this time? In other words, can I still encounter evil spirits here in Kyoto?

Well, idleness is idle anyway, and...

Duanmuhuai looked down at his armor.

You’ve already put on this outfit, why don’t you show off? Otherwise, wouldn't this suit of armor be worn in vain? Although this is not a power armor, it is also a real armor that Duanmu Huai asked craftsmen to build in a one-to-one ratio!

Let those evil spirits truly feel the fear from the Tribunal! Cry, shout, and die!

Thinking of this, Duanmu Huai picked up his cell phone and sent a message to the director asking for leave. Then he walked out of the set, found a deserted place, drew out his long sword, and held it tightly.

Immediately afterwards…………

"Kick————!"

With a crisp shamisen sound ringing in Duanmuhuai's ears, the next moment an open paper door suddenly appeared under his feet, and then, Duanmuhuai fell directly into the paper door!
