Chapter 119 One shot costs tens of millions, and the prodigal son is numb

After the filming base is built, all the required equipment is being delivered one after another.

When they sent the rotating shooting corridor over, Shen Lang was very satisfied with the effect.

Then a 10:1 replica model of "Titanic" was customized for them, requiring that all the decorations inside must be realistic.

Astro was a little curious and then asked.

"Is it necessary to make a model of the entire ship? It can be made using special effects."

Shen Lang shook his head.

"Although the special effects are very good, they are not omnipotent. In the last step, I want to completely break the ship. That kind of shocking scene cannot be created with special effects.

Even if it is produced, it will be full of false feeling, and the effect will be much worse than using a real model."

But no matter how they plan to film, the boss of the model company is so happy that he can't open his mouth from ear to ear. This is a big project.

And they talked about breaking the model, which reminded Shen Lang of another thing.

That's how to shoot underwater shots. It's the ocean, not the bottom of a lake, and most people can't sink it.

"By the way, can you pick up the submarine? If possible, it's best to borrow two. I can shoot multi-camera shots."

Astro, who was drinking coffee, squirted out in one gulp. When he heard about the submarine, he couldn't hold back any longer.

"Brother, are you sure we are really making a movie and not attacking other countries?

Why do we even need submarines?"

Shen Lang said righteously: "This is a necessary condition for the quality of the movie."

But after saying this, he felt a little nervous, thinking that this was something the system asked him to prepare.

That's how the old man played in the past, and he doesn't plan to change. Anyway, people have a lot of money. Submarines, as long as they are not the kind of submarines that can carry torpedoes, there should be no problem.

Astro nodded helplessly: "I'll do my best."

It cannot be said that this kind of shooting prop is unprecedented, but there are definitely not many ancient people.

When the props are almost ready, it’s time to see how the relationship between the hero and heroine is progressing.

This was also the reward Shen Lang promised to Rajer. When this kid heard that there was a kiss scene in it, he was so excited that he almost flew into the air.

But when the two of them arrived at the theater, Shen Lang looked at the two of them looking a little reserved and slapped his forehead fiercely.

In fact, this kid is too slow. According to the unrestrained customs of the Sky Eagle Kingdom, if he has not been on third base for half a month after knowing him, he is basically no different from a waste.

However, he observed that this little girl was somewhat interested in Rajer.

After all, he comes from a big family, is very handsome, and has a lot of specialties and advantages. It would be strange for a young and rich girl not to like him.

Then he called the two of them to him and said seriously.

"You two kiss, I mean mouth to mouth, and I'll see the effect. I'll take this shot later. You two are not prepared."

The two people were brought together and reluctantly kissed each other.

There were little stars popping up in front of Rajer's eyes, which felt really good.

Shen Lang saw how excited this kid was, and it seemed that he didn't need to adjust his condition any more after filming.

And just when he was about to shoot a short film, he suddenly received a call.

This was a call from Astro's father, and it didn't mean anything else. It just said that he had promised that the short film he had shot would not need to be shot, and that he would use all his skills to shoot the feature film.

Shen Lang perked up after hearing the news, which saved him a lot of trouble.

After all, if you want to shoot a short film with attractive effects, you need to put more thought into it.

Now that effort is saved.

After a brief look at their condition, he let them leave if they were good, and told them that they would come to the base for training and filming in the morning. At the same time, he distributed the script to the two of them, and they must memorize it all.

Especially the characters' emotions must be carefully studied after returning home.

But in fact, the temperament of the two of them already fits the original characters very well, and they don't need too much training.

When they arrived the next day, the props customized by Shen Lang were also in place.

In the first scene, who told you to film the words where Jack stood on the top of the boat and shouted loudly?

It can be said that this shot is one of the shots that most highlights Jack’s personal charm, and for this purpose it is a 1:1 replica of the customized props.

Standing in front of the green screen and stepping on the customized props, Jack grabbed it with one hand and quickly got into the mood.

They were holding prompting boards, but at this time, Raj was still trying to figure out the emotions of the characters, what kind of emotions should be used when shouting these words from a person chasing freedom on the sea.

After a moment, he seemed to feel the presence of the sea in his consciousness, his eyes widened, and he shouted excitedly.

"I am the king of the world!"

The high-spirited young man shouted a loud slogan, and at this moment everyone present felt a youthful atmosphere.

At the same time, this sentence is also among the best among century-old movie lines. It has even been written into textbooks and is a very classic line.

Meadow in the audience couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when he saw Rajel like this. He was completely different from the reserved and shy person before. Now he was confident, free, and extremely handsome.

Astro on the side was a little surprised when he saw this scene, the performance was much better than he thought.

I didn't expect that his nephew had such ability.

After Shen Lang finished shooting this scene, a person from the post-production team came and stared at the scene and told him very seriously.

"Have you seen this shot just now? Use the best special effects in the world for me, and don't save me any money. I want Rajel at this moment to become a being that is sought after by all the girls in the world."

The person in charge of post-production nodded.

"Yes, but the cost is relatively high." He looked at Astro before speaking. After all, this is the real financial owner.

Shen Lang was a little dissatisfied with this.

"I am the director, what do you think is the use of him? He has to listen to me."

He speaks confidently and domineeringly, but he has his confidence.

After shooting this scene, taking advantage of the fact that both of them were in very good condition, they started shooting another classic scene.

It's the scene where Jack is holding Rose.

Many people think that this shot was shot in real scenes, but unfortunately, the perfect integration of the sky and the characters is difficult to shoot in real scenes, and special effects must be used.

So Shen Lang looked at Mei Duo, whose face was a little blushing, and felt that this was the best time.

Let them take the bow of production.

Then he kept shouting from his seat.

"Rose stretched out her hands, keeping a flying posture, raised her head slightly, and relaxed her whole body.

Rajel hugged her like a man and put his arm around her waist."

However, at this time, Rajer's posture was a little stiff, and Shen Lang cursed without any shame.

"I'm asking you to hug her waist, not to strangle her to death. Be gentle. If you hug a girl like this, I guarantee you will be single for the rest of your life."

It was obviously not a particularly difficult shot, but it took a whole day to shoot, and some people also had a great time shooting it.

After a whole day of shooting, Astro was observing from the side. Shen Lang did not spend too much, and the shooting quality was also commendable.

But all this is just Shen Lang's routine. He just wants to give everyone a reassurance first.

His money-burning journey is yet to come.

When the filming started the next day, Astro got up a little late and found that there was no one on the crew.

Only then did he receive a text message. It turned out that they had booked the largest restaurant in the city.

All the facilities in the house and even the decoration were modified, and then set up inside to look like a dance party.

This set of facilities cost several million, and Astro was a little confused when he saw this scene.

He seemed to have never seen a script with such a big scene before.

However, the answer Shen Lang gave made him a little confused. In fact, there was only one shot that passed by in a flash.

But Shen Lang actually spent so much money on the layout, several million for one shot, which really made him feel a little pained.

But this is just the beginning, Shen Lang's pursuit of details has reached an abnormal level.

Even if it was a small detail that was overlooked in the movie, he would reshoot it if he saw it.

Although there are no more of them later, there are millions and tens of millions of lenses at every turn, but they can’t add up to a small amount.

Sometimes a shot needs to be reshot, and all the props in it need to be remade. It is too common for a shot to cost tens or hundreds of thousands per shot.

Two months passed in the blink of an eye, and 150 million Sky Eagle coins were burned in the process.

In fact, many of these expenses are relatively frivolous, because it took Kashen five years to make this movie.
