The crew of "Year, Month and Day" did not invite big stars to help, no government leaders were present, no media reporters reported, only all the main creators of the crew and some staff of Century Film Capital.

After "The Apocalypse of the Future" swept the world, fans around the world were looking forward to Zhang Ran's new film, and many people were inquiring about what his new film was filmed. If Zhang Ran directly announced the news, the audience's enthusiasm would soon pass. Therefore, Zhang Ran's promotion strategy for the new film is: hunger marketing, play mystery, play low-key, fully mobilize the gossip of the majority of netizens, and let them discover relevant information about the movie. When the curiosity of netizens and audiences ferment, the crew will make official revelations.

In order to achieve the best effect of hunger marketing, the crew not only strictly guarded the filming news, but also kept the script strictly confidential. Only a very small number of people in the entire crew knew what to shoot. In order to confuse everyone, Zhang Ran also gave the movie a pseudonym, called "Hello Sun!".

Zhang Ran is a film producer and director, so he must say a few simple words: "There are old people who have worked with me and many new friends who have worked with me for the first time. It is very honored to be able to work with everyone. In the next few months, we will work hard as a team to film "Hello Sun!".

I have been making movies for ten years, and the themes are hopeless. The same is true for this movie "Hello Sun!", but "Hello Sun!" is a bit different from my previous movies. My previous movies are relatively warm, while "Hello Sun, Hello Sun!" is particularly tragic. When I read this story, I was hit hard in my heart. I like this story and I also hope to make this story well. Of course, I definitely can't do it by myself, and we all need to work together. I believe that with our joint efforts, "Hello Sun!" will definitely be made into a masterpiece! I have said so much, thank you everyone!"

The film's starring Li Xuejian also said a few simple words, and he said modestly: "Director Zhang's works are all artistic masterpieces, and each one is deeper than the other. Being able to work with him again is a particularly happy thing for me. This movie is a D-film, and the performance is very difficult, which is a challenge for me. I hope I can deliver a satisfactory answer!"

The opening ceremony then officially began. Under the attention of everyone, Zhang Ran, Li Xuejian and Zhao Fei, each grabbed a corner of the red cloth. Zhang Ran shouted: "I announce that the movie "Hello, Sun!" is officially launched!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Ran and the others lifted the red cloth together; at the same time, warm applause rang out on the scene.

Since the extras did not match Zhang Ran’s request, the scene of escape from famine would definitely not be able to be filmed. Fortunately, when Zhang Ran’s crew made a shooting plan, they would make backup plans every time. After the opening ceremony, Zhang Ran called Li Xuejian over: "Today we will shoot your scene first, let's take a look!"

Li Xuejian was very prepared for this drama and had already remembered the lines well. There was no need to prepare at all. He could perform directly as long as he was allowed to play. He nodded and said, "Then let's start!"

An hour later, Li Xuejian stood in the performance area. In the center of the performance area, there was an altar with three plates of offerings and two water tanks. The story of "Year, Month and Day" took place in the year of severe drought. According to local customs, an altar would be placed at this time, filled with water in the water tank, and painted the water dragon king on the surface of the tank. Then, tie a dog between two tanks, let the dog head bend to the sky, drink it when it is thirsty, and give it to eat it when it is hungry. When it is neither hungry nor thirsty, let it yell wildly at the sun.

Now that I am filming, it is natural that I can't really catch a dog and tie it up in the middle of the water tank. So, a blue doll was placed in the middle of the water tank, representing the position of the dog. In the monitor of the special effects group, the blue doll disappeared, and replaced by a dog made of g, with all its hair curled together and lying on the ground weakly.

After the command to "Start! Pick the board! Start!" sounded, Li Xuejian walked towards the altar with his hands behind his back. He looked up and found that two tanks of water were drunk by the sun, and they had already seen the bottom, and then looked at the blue doll on the ground.

In the past, when the dog was tied up for three or five days, it would rain in the sky, but this time it had been half a month, and there was still no sign of rain. Li Xuejian felt that the dog was pitiful and let it go: "You go, it will never rain again!"

In the monitor screen of the special effects group, the dog came down from the altar, walked forward a few steps, hit the wall, turned back, and hit the tree again. Li Xuejian went over and pulled its ears and looked at it, with a shocked expression on his face. The dog's eyes were melted by the sun, leaving only two eye holes on his head.

Zhang Ran was very satisfied with Li Xuejian's performance, the action chain was very clear, the subtext was very accurate, and he couldn't find any fault. After shouting, Zhang Ran asked about the recording team and the photography team. After receiving a positive answer, he turned his attention to the special effects team: "How is the special effects team?"

The head of the special effects team nodded and said, "No problem!"

Zhang Ran looked in the direction of Group D again: "How is the situation of Group D?"

The person in charge of Group D shouted: "The focus of the picture is not synchronized, but the situation is not very serious. Director, come and take a look!"

When Zhang Ran heard that there was a problem with the focus of the screen, he quickly walked behind the monitors of Group D. Group D has three monitors, two smaller monitors, one is the left eye screen and the other is the right eye screen, both of which are 2d; and the giant monitor with a height of more than 40 inches is the effect obtained after the left and right eyes are combined into D.

Zhang Ran first looked at the pictures on his left and right eyes, but he found no problem, but when he put on his glasses, he found the problem when he saw the effect of the d. Since the focus of the two machines was not synchronized, the two images were one virtual and one real. The picture on the left was only slightly imaginary, and the impact was not very large. This level of imaginary focus can be corrected in the later stages. However, Zhang Ran felt that it would be better to deal with the problems directly during shooting, so he called Zhao Fei over.

Zhao Fei put on his D glasses and looked at the effect. He knew the problem was, so he immediately adjusted the virtual focus camera.

More than ten minutes later, the shooting started again. This time, there was no problem with the performance, sound, picture, special effects, and d effects. Zhang Ran announced with a smile: "Very good! Our first shot is completed! The next shot is ready!"

This was the first time Zhang Ran and the others made D movies, but they made very careful preparations before the official start of filming, and Li Xuejian's performance was excellent enough. Therefore, in the next few days, the filming of the movie went very smoothly.

However, Zhang Ran was not happy, and the problem of extras was never solved. Zhou Xiaoxi found several batches of extras, not only sifted the extras from Century Film Capital, but also sifted the people from Xiangshan and Hengdian. The people they found were basically extras from peasant origins, all of whom were thin-faced.

If Zhang Ran had not been to the mountainous area of ​​Taolu and had not lived with real mountain farmers, he would have used these people. But Zhang Ran had lived with mountain farmers and knew what the real mountainous area was, he would not be able to let go.

It is true that the extras Zhou Xiaoxi is looking for are farmers, but most of these farmers are from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, with good living conditions. It is different from those who live in mountainous areas and live facing the loess and facing the sky.

Zhang Ran felt that the extras could not be delayed and must be resolved as soon as possible. If the extras problem could not be solved well, the final effect of the movie would definitely be greatly reduced. So he brought together the main creators of the crew to find a solution.

The main creators of the crew also had no good idea, they were a little frowning.

At the end of the discussion, Zhang Ran spoke: "There is no other way, I can only go to Rake Mountain and use local farmers to perform!"

If you are making a 2D movie, it is not a problem to go to the mountainous area of ​​Rake. But "Year, Month and Day" is a D movie, which requires a lot of equipment, so it is very difficult to go to the mountainous area. Zhao Fei couldn't help but say: "In fact, it is OK to use the current extras, and most viewers can't see it."

Zhang Ran shook his head gently: "Maybe most of the audience can't see it, but I can see it, I can't deceive myself!"

Deputy director Guo Fan said: "Teacher Zhang, I don't think so. We will continue shooting, and then let the casting director choose some people in Rake Mountain. Men, women, young and old choose some, and invite them here. After they come, they will film their scenes first and then send them back! This will not only delay the shooting time, but also solve the actor's problem!"

Many people present only felt their eyes lit up. This would not only delay the shooting time, but also solve the actor's problems. It is a good idea!

But Zhang Ran vetoed without mercy: "It sounds good, but it is actually not feasible. I wonder if you have noticed a phenomenon? "No one can be missing" and "Xiao Wu" use amateur actors. They have never acted in the movie, but their performance in the movie is excellent and there is no trace of performance. Many extras in Hengdian have filmed many scenes, but when you see their performances, most of them are very bad.

The reason for this is that the actors in "No One Leave" have never acted in a play, have no idea about making movies, and do not know what it means to make movies. They are not afraid of the camera. Their behavior logic in front of the camera is the same as usual. The way of speaking is the way they usually speak, and their performance is the true performance. The extras in Hengdian have a dream of stardom. They know what it means to film, and they all hope to perform well, get the favor of directors, and they all try their best to act well. Therefore, their performance is particularly hard and the performance traces are particularly heavy.

If we invite fellow villagers from Rake Mountain to Lin'an, they will be in a completely unfamiliar environment and a completely unfamiliar world. When filming, a group of crew members will still stare at them. In this case, they will definitely be nervous; and they will think a lot, such as if I shoot this scene, can I stay in the city? When they are nervous and have various distracting thoughts, it is impossible to act well!"

Speaking of this, Zhang Ran paused and said, "I have come into contact with many extras and are very clear about their psychology!"

Many people present nodded slightly, and it was indeed the case. Zhao Fei also said: "Many extras have a dream of starring. They are afraid when acting, worried that they will not act well or be afraid that they will drag their backs. Their performance is particularly 'acted', without the natural and traceless feeling!"

Guo Fan scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "I didn't expect this problem!"

Seeing that no one else had any objection, Zhang Ran said, "It's already the 2nd today, it's already late October, and the weather has started to turn colder. We must move quickly and cannot delay until December. There are only a few degrees in December, and our play is summer again. The actors can only wear single clothes or even vests, and the actors will suffer a lot!"

Zhang Ran looked at Huo Tingxiao, the leader of the art team, and said, "Old Huo, hurry up and bring people to the Rake Mountains and spread the scenery. When you set the scenery, we will bring the large army here!"
Chapter completed!
