I'm not just an action star

When Wu Long went to promote "Shaolin Bodyguard" crew of "Fahai Zhiwei Tianlong", other people's plays were basically finished.After all the preparations are done, we are waiting for Wu Long to come back to film the final highlight, the battle against the original form of the centipede essence.

To be honest, this important event gave Wu Long a headache.

According to Sun Jian and others, Wu Long's movements were filmed on green screen, and CG special effects were done in the later stage of the centipede essence.

That is to say, except that Wu Long is real, the rest are cg.

This kind of shooting is really easy for Wu Long.But for the cost of special effects, it is not easy.Even if Xing Zhongfei said that he didn't have enough money to ask for it, Wu Long would not easily increase his investment.

That was a bad start.Once you develop a habit of filming, you will find that the investment is not enough, and more and more investment will be made. In the end, many films with piled up costs will go to the street and lose money.

On the contrary, some films with small investment in special effects, even if the box office is not so high, the income is not less than that of large investment.

Wu Long asked Shi Lei, and Shi Lei told him that domestic technology and software were really inferior to international special effects companies.

It is not just a question of technology and software, but also of experience and overall management.

Furthermore, doing special effects not only costs money, but also takes time.Often after shooting, the special effects need to be done for a year or even two years.

For nothing, the special effects will look fake.Without spending time, the special effects look more fake.

Wu Long didn't want the audience to look good from the front, but feel like eating a rat droppings from the back.

Wu Long doesn't know what other people think, anyway, he watched those domestic movies that shouted for big productions in his previous life, and those special effects are really hard to describe.

Some claim that the investment in special effects exceeds [-] million yuan, but the audience can see the tear between the real person and the special effects, as well as the fakeness of the details of the special effects.

According to Wu Long's idea, when the cg special effects were immature in the past, Hao Laihu used models for the special effects of those blockbuster movies, which were also very realistic.

It's just that the model cannot be produced on a large scale, the range of special effects is not large, the range of action is not wide, the shooting time is not long, and the shocking effect is not enough.

For example, if you want to take a shot of a giant beast jumping out of the water, opening its mouth wide to swallow the food in the air, and then falling into the water, it is difficult to take a complete shot with a model.

If you want to use a model to shoot such a shot, you can only shoot part of it and use editing.The shock effect is far from enough.

But the model has a characteristic, it is cheaper than cg special effects, and the production cycle is faster than cg special effects.

Considering that the selling point of his movie is not on special effects, nor on monsters like the original centipede, but on his movements and real kung fu, he decided to give up expensive cg special effects.

To be honest, foreign blockbusters with action shots like this also want to use models.But none of their actors and stuntmen have real kung fu, and they can't use powerful real kung fu to shoot long action shots like Wu Long.They want to shoot better action scenes, so they can only use cg special effects.

In the end, Wu Long still chose to use the model.Like the original shape of the green snake, make a large centipede model, and it can still move.

With the current technology and paint, the effect can be very realistic.

Not only the two large palate teeth on the centipede's mouth can move, but even the centipede's tentacles can move.The body can bend like a real centipede, and the centipede's feet can of course also move.

Wu Long saw the big centipede model and expressed his approval.From the outside, it looks like the real thing.The centipede model in the "A Chinese Ghost Story" series that Wu Long had seen in his previous life could not be compared with the current centipede model at all.

For the big green snake model and the big centipede model, Wu Long also has ideas.It does not need to be destroyed after shooting, and can be sold to parks, amusement parks, or scenic spots.

If no one bought it, Wu Long could buy it himself, considering whether it is possible to build a Wu Long Movie World theme park.

The lower part of the centipede is driven by a car, and there are also wheels hidden under the body behind it.

Action design direction, spell attack is not as good as head-to-head fighting.Wu Long decided to go on a rampage, head-to-head.It's a bit like a good routine, bumping, smashing, falling, and exploding.

Fahai can fly, so it would be unreasonable to only fight with martial arts on the ground.Then find a way in the plot, so that Fa Hai lacks mana and can't fly.

The centipede went underground to escape, but Fahai attacked the centipede with a touchdown mark, forcing the centipede out of its original form.It will become weaker when it leaves the ground after showing its original shape, and its strength will be weakened after being attacked by Fa Hai, and it will also not be able to fly.

After some fighting, both Fa Hai and Centipede Jing lost their mana.

This would explain why there are no flying fights and spell attacks.

How head-to-head?

The original form of the centipede essence was a big centipede, so the big centipede hit Fahai directly, and Fahai directly punched the original form of the centipede essence.

It's the equivalent of driving a heavy truck or tank straight into a person.Give the audience an illusion that people fight heavy trucks and tanks with their fists.

Collide!

Hit the tree and fall, hit the rock and crack it, hit the mountain and collapse.

The tree is a fake tree, the rock is a fake stone, and the part of the mountain that has collapsed is also fake.Build a small part of the rockery at the foot of the mountain and connect it with the real mountain to create an illusion that what you hit is the real mountain.

The cart used to drive is not under the head of the giant centipede, but behind the head of the centipede.The driver and operator cannot directly see the situation ahead and outside. They need to drive the centipede car and operate the organs on the centipede through the camera hidden in the head, the footage taken by the drone, and the director's instructions.

If the car is not under the centipede's head, the centipede can raise its head to attack without revealing the car below.

Two lawn mowers can be stretched out in front of the front of the car, and the lawn mowers are stretched out under the big palate teeth.Use camera angles to avoid being seen by the audience.

When the big centipede chases the grass, use the lawn mower to mow the grass, and then use the fan in front of the car to blow the cut grass up.When presented in front of the audience in this way, the ferocity of the big centipede can be shown.

When Wu Long went to participate in the promotion of "Shaolin Bodyguard", the route of the giant centipede had been practiced many times in the field. After Wu Long came back, he practiced together and then started filming.

Before the appearance of the centipede essence, there was a story that covered the sky and the sun.

This plot has already been filmed, on the night of filming Wu Long vs. Centipede.Then Fahai sat down on the ground, "fixed seal" in one hand, and "ground touch seal" in the other hand, to deal with the centipede who went underground and tried to escape.

"Prajna Pa Ma Hum!"

"Get me out!"

Then shoot a little at dusk, and then shoot again when the sky gets dark.

Then Fahai stood up and held up the "Wishing Seal" to the sky, breaking the centipede's veil.

The highlight is to resume the plot after dawn.

The centipede car was hidden in the long pit dug in advance, and it was covered with camouflage. There was no problem in the camera, and I thought it was flat ground.

Sun Jian asked all parties one by one if they were ready, and all parties answered that they were ready, and Wu Long was also ready.

"Start shooting!"

Hit the board!

Wu Long's non-phase kung fu was substituted into Fa Hai, and at the same time, he added space for special training, which affected the staff involved in the filming.

Fa Hai withdrew his gaze from the sky and scanned his surroundings.

"Monster, don't come out yet!" Fa Hai roared like thunder.

Suddenly, there was a blast behind Fahai.

Boom boom boom boom boom!

Fa Hai turned around and saw the dirt behind him being blown away.His hand formed a Dharma protector seal, blocking it in front of his eyes.Let the mud and stones be beaten into yourself.

Boom!

A big centipede drilled out of the ground.That centipede head is as big as a car.There are sword-like spikes on both sides of the head.After shaking the two tentacles, they aimed at Fahai.

There are two pairs of palatal teeth in front of the mouth, and the lowermost pair of large venomous palate teeth.The big palate teeth are curved and sharp, as sharp as knives, capable of stabbing, clamping and cutting.

Behind the palatine teeth is a large mouth full of sharp teeth.

"Fa Hai! Although you have broken through my sky-blocking shield, your mana is exhausted and you can no longer fly!"

The feet of the giant centipede are like curved knives with blades on both sides.Crawling quickly, rushing towards Fahai like a train, the big jaws opened and closed like pliers and bit towards Fahai.

Fahai jumped up and jumped over the big jaw teeth.With one hand, he cast the magic seal, and with the other hand, he struck between the two tentacles of the giant centipede.

It was like a "boom"!

Fa Hai failed to repel the big centipede, but was hit by the big centipede and flew backwards.

Fa Hai flipped to the ground, thud thud thud connected back to relieve the force.The big centipede continued to crash towards Fahai like a train.

Fahai changed direction to avoid the big centipede, but the big centipede also turned to pursue.

There are woods in front, Fahai ran to the woods.

Leap high and step on the big tree to rise.

The big centipede knocked down the big tree directly.

Fa Hai flipped and landed on top of the big centipede.The sword thorns on both sides of the centipede's head stretched out and cut towards the top of its own head.

Seeing that the big centipede still has this move, Fa Hai jumped on the big centipede's back.

Unexpectedly, the feet on both sides of the big centipede turned up and stabbed at the centipede's back like a sickle.

Fa Hai turned over and jumped off the centipede's back.

The centipede lowered its feet to form a pair of swords beside the centipede, and the centipede turned around to surround Fa Hai in the middle.The centipede swings its feet up and down, piercing like a sword or a knife or a spear.

Fa Hai had no choice but to run away with big strides, and the big centipede chased after him.Fa Hai felt that the centipede was chasing faster in the open space, so he turned again and ran towards the woods.

The big centipede chased into the woods, like a logging machine, smashing the trees that blocked the way along the way.

The big centipede caught up with Fahai, and its two jaws clawed at Fahai.Fa Hai jumped up to avoid the big jaw, and was directly hit by the big centipede in the air.

boom!

Fa Hai knocked down a big tree.Immediately after landing, he jumped up, grabbed the fallen tree and swung it, hitting the centipede's head like a stick.

boom!

The tree was hit by a giant centipede and exploded.

Fahai continued to flee.

There was a pile of huge boulders in front of him. Fa Hai jumped high, stepped on the stones to the top of nearly two feet high, and looked back at the chasing centipede.

The big centipede didn't intend to stop at all, and directly slammed into the pile of boulders.

Boom!

The boulder pile was directly blasted and flew away.

Fa Hai quickly jumped up, volleyed in the air and landed, rolling and buffering on the ground.He looked back and found that the big centipede was chasing after breaking through the boulder pile.

run!

Ahead is grass.

The big centipede chased after Fa Hai, the grass was cut by the jaw teeth, and it flew around.

There is a mountain ahead!

Fahai jumped high, stepped on the mountain wall, and did a side somersault to the left at a height of about ten feet.

The big centipede was so fast that it didn't have time to stop and hit the mountain directly.

Boom!

The mountain was knocked down!

The big centipede turned around in the collapsing mountain and continued to chase Fahai.

Fa Hai jumped up again, wanting to kick the centipede between the tentacles at the front end of its head.The centipede raised its head suddenly, and opened its two big jaws, clamping Fa Hai like a pair of pliers.

Fahai clamped it, and held the Dharma protection seal with both hands.

"Prajna Pa Ma Hum!"

"Vajra Guardian!"

The big centipede opened its mouth and let go of its teeth, and Fa Hai fell into the big centipede's mouth.

"Crack!"

"Perfect!"

"Another pass!"

Sun Jian stood up from the chair and said loudly:

"It's not easy!"

"This scene is more complicated than the previous ones, and it is even more difficult to shoot!"

"It's a miracle that it succeeded once!"
