Huaguo, Qingyun Mountain.

According to Han Lan's request, the crew really found such a mountain in reality.

In the county under the jurisdiction of Rongcheng in the south, the name is really called Qingyun Mountain.

Of course, there is no Qingyunmen on it, and it is not divided into seven peaks to continue the incense, it is just a 4A-level tourist attraction that is not very famous. The crew also came here to take the scenery under the mountain and get a grass temple village out.

Qingyun Mountain in the movie can definitely only be synthesized through computer 3D modeling and various special effects.

According to Han Lan's dictation, Qingyun Mountain should actually be a mountain range, "continuous for hundreds of miles, with undulating peaks and peaks, with the highest seven peaks, towering into the clouds." ”

Such a big scene, if you have to find a real scene in reality, it is not impossible to find it, Shennongjia can consider it. But that place didn't let people go in and shoot at all, at most aerial photography for a long shot.

And basically, this kind of deep mountains have become protected areas, and a large number of people and horses and all kinds of large-scale equipment will definitely damage the environment when the crew enters it, no matter how careful they are, it is useless.

Then there is the south side of the Qingyun Mountain Range, there is a mortal town in Heyang City, since it is an important town, it must be small. In reality, it is difficult to find such a complete ancient city, and if there are any, there will be various goofs after basic aerial photography.

In addition, Tianyin Temple Incense Valley also has a few seconds of overhead shot at the beginning of the movie that will appear with the narration, at least to give fans a general view of the world.

Therefore, it is more convenient to use computer synthesis in the later stage, and the effect will be better and more shocking.

In fact, basically all scenes that are not secular can only be synthesized in post-production. You can leave the back and go back to the Lin'an studio to shoot slowly, and shoot the shots you want to shoot in real time first.

After these real-life scenes are filmed, the acting skills and experience of the students in the crew should also be improved a lot, and it will be better to return to the studio to shoot when the time comes.

The Caomiao Village found by the crew is an abandoned ruined temple and wasteland, and it was rebuilt and expanded into Caomiao Village after consultation with the scenic spot manager, and if the movie becomes popular in the future, it can also have one more attraction.

The plot of Caomiao Village mainly tells the story of the protagonist Zhang Xiaofan and his friend Lin Jingyu's youth-

The two chased to the grass temple next to the village in a frolick, and met Master Puzhi of Tianyin Temple, and when Lin Jingyu was taken away by a strange black gas at night, he was rescued by Master Puzhi when he passed near the grass temple.

The black qi turned into an evil demon and used Lin Jingyu as a hostage to blackmail Master Puzhi to hand over a treasure on his body, the "Blood Devouring Bead", and this process was naturally accompanied by a fierce battle between the two.

This fighting method was also bumped into by Zhang Xiaofan, who gave food to Master Puzhi, and then was accidentally stunned while watching the battle. When Zhang Xiaofan woke up, Master Puzhi had already defeated the demons and demons, but he himself was dying, so he entrusted Zhang Xiaofan to discard a dark purple bead on his behalf and passed on the Buddhist Dharma Dafa Prajna to him.

After this accident, the two teenagers returned to the village, only to find that the entire village had been slaughtered, leaving only the two of them and a woodcutter alive. The three of them, who had nowhere to stay, were discovered by the Qingyun Sect disciples passing by and brought to Qingyun Mountain, and began a long path of cultivation......

is such a short plot at the beginning, and it takes less than three minutes after it is cut to the end, but it has already begun to burn funds like crazy.

After all, Caomiao Village is dilapidated, and they are all low wooden and thatched houses, and it doesn't cost much to build. It's still the special effects that really burn money!

From the moment Lin Jingyu was taken away by a strange black gas, he began to burn money frantically. Generally, other crews shoot this kind of scene, it must be a man in black, so he uses it as black gas, and he just runs away with the young Lin Jingyu. But if it's really shot like this, it feels too cheap. How can a demon be like a human trafficker?

The man in black must still have it, and when he runs with the young Lin Jingyu in his arms, he has to hang Weiya, and he can't just run the whole process, it's called "ground flight"! In the later stage, it will also add a weird black gas special effect, which looks like a black mist, and you can only vaguely see the figure in it, and then leave an afterimage and sweep the person away.

In the future, the fighting method between the evil demon and the master of Puzhi is really burning money every second! Whether it is the poisonous blood flag, the lion seal of the Buddha Gate, the six-character mantra, or the true trick of the divine sword and thunder, even the sentence of Master Puzhi at the end of the fighting method "My Buddha is compassionate" must be added with the special effect of the golden Buddha's body protection.

If the special effects of this kind of fighting shot are not enough, it will be an embarrassing dance between the two.

Counting the worldview of the movie introduced at the beginning, what continent, fairy mountain, important town, and the three major schools are all special effects that burn money.

adds up to more than three minutes and less than four minutes, and the special effects funds are enough for others to shoot a whole movie.

A good Xianxia movie, the investment in special effects will definitely not be lower than that of a hard sci-fi blockbuster.

The most famous movies in the lighthouse country, in addition to sci-fi blockbusters, there is also a fantasy and magic movie, which is also a variety of special effects, an epic Warcraft charge scene at every turn, and the kind that burns money and burns several villas in a second.

In Han Lan's view, Huaguo's Xianxia movies are used to benchmark the magic blockbusters of the Lighthouse Country! Special effects, scenes, props, and makeup must not be crossed!

Isn't it just money, burn it, let alone 650 million, even if it burns to 1 billion, you have to shoot this movie!

Of course, the actors can't be too bad.

Even if they are now surrounded and suppressed by several major companies, the crew has also selected a group of very outstanding young actors from several universities, although they have not yet graduated.

The teenagers Zhang Xiaofan and Lin Jingyu in the movie are set to be twelve or thirteen years old, Han Lan herself will definitely not be able to act, and there is no such young actor in the academy. So, Han Lan could only transfer the second batch of trainees from his own house, and chose the two people who were the youngest and had the most similar facial features to make cameos.

At the age of fourteen or fifteen, you can achieve the effect of twelve or thirteen years old with a little makeup, and your height can also be reduced by dressing, as long as you don't stand with other actors and take full-body shots. Moreover, children in ancient times were more precocious, and it was normal for them to look a little older.

This is also the first time that Han Lan has used other small fresh meat to participate in her own movie.

The crew is indeed out of recruitment, and it is definitely not possible to find two teenagers to act at random, and the young actors with this acting skills have been banned by several major film companies, and they dare not take their plays.

Fortunately, although he is also a little fresh meat, as the successor of the men's group "Xia", he has experience in opera performance before becoming a trainee, and he can barely reach the standard with a little training. At least it's more reliable than most small fresh meat on the market.

And also don't want money.

As for Master Puzhi, demons and demons, and other elders and middle-aged people who will appear in the follow-up plot, director Zhao Chengwen also sold a lot of favors from several colleges and universities, and invited other teachers to come over to participate. It's really not enough to make up the number, so just pick a few students who look more mature and make up for it by makeup.
