Chapter 213 Daily life of the crew

Chapter 213 Daily life of the crew
The next morning, Liu Yifei, accompanied by her assistant and driver, arrived at the China Film Digital Base.

The interior scenes and special effects scenes of "Pacific Rim 2" were basically filmed here, and then we went to various parts of the world to shoot exterior scenes, and the filming was completed.

As for post-production, it is mainly done by the Good Times Special Effects Company, which subcontracts out a small number of special effects shots.

Of course, more than 70% of the special effects shots have to be completed using "super micro computers".

On the set, Liu Yifei was in high spirits, no longer as listless as yesterday. When she saw familiar people, she would greet them enthusiastically.

Huang Xiaoming was puzzled when he saw this, and asked in a low voice: "You, confessed?"

"No!"

"That?"

Huang Xiaoming wanted to say that your current condition is not right, but he didn't know whether he should say it or not.

Liu Yifei just smiled and didn't explain.

At her age, she doesn’t understand what love is and is easily influenced by her family. Although Liu Xiaoli’s words yesterday cannot be said to be “brainwashing”, at least they didn’t make her so “painful”.

After all, she has nothing to do with Jiang Heng now, and she has no right to interfere in other people's private life, let alone worry about it!
All we can do now is get along normally and look for another opportunity!

Especially when he saw Jiang Heng himself appear on the set, he became even happier.

"Morning, uncle!"

"Morning!"

Jiang Heng was stunned for a moment, wondering why he felt that there was something wrong with this girl, but he didn't think too much about it.

After everyone for the first scene arrived, we began filming.

Jiang Heng was a bit conservative in filming Pacific Rim 2, mainly making various upgrades based on Pacific Rim 1 rather than a lot of innovations.

Therefore, the environmental background of the film is consistent, and the battles basically break out in the dark and rainy nights.

Lightning flashed across the sky from time to time, further highlighting the doomsday atmosphere.

The biggest change in this drama compared to its predecessor is that it highlights the capabilities and functions of the Chinese mecha "Storm Red" (a brand new upgraded version).

Because the cockpit of the "Storm Crimson" in "Ring 1" was too weak, this version of the Chinese mecha suffered from "insufficient defense fear", and was thickened and reinforced from top to bottom and inside to outside, completely changing from the agile style of the previous part to a "powerful and heavy" style.

Holding an extra-long "Mo Dao" as a weapon in his hand, he looked like a heavenly general made of steel descending to earth.

At the filming base, when the crew members saw the new "Storm Red" model, they were all shocked.

The "Storm Red" in the film is 107 meters high, which is about as high as a thirty-story building in reality.

The model at the shooting site was made at a ratio of 1:3 and is 35.6 meters high, more than ten stories high, and is very domineering.

Everyone in the crew looked at the model and was shocked.

Megan Fox said in a sweet voice, "Honey, the mecha you designed is so beautiful, even cooler than the Transformers. They wanted to invite me to participate before, but I thought they are your competitors, how could I act in their play, so I refused without even thinking about it!"

Megan Fox said it with deep affection and deep love.

But the reality is, in this world, "Transformers 1" chose another female lead, and in "Transformers 2", it was still the female lead from the first film, and Megan Fox was invited to play only a supporting role, so she naturally gave priority to Jiang Heng.

Jiang Heng could probably figure out what was going on, and said with a smile: "Thank you so much!"

The first scene was of Storm Red fighting against a level three monster, killing each child with one strike.

The filming was naturally very tedious and there was nothing interesting to see. After a busy day, there was not much progress.

It took a week to finish filming this scene.

Throughout the film, there are mechas from five countries, namely China, the United States, Russia, Japan and Australia. Each mecha has its own fighting scenes, and there are even scenes where five mechas go out together to fight against monsters. The filming was really laborious and tedious.

Fortunately, the crew would take a day off every ten days to let everyone take a break. More than half of the actors in this movie are from Hollywood, and they have objections to the ten-day break, but after understanding the specific situation here, they just follow the local customs.

Megan Fox, on the other hand, had no objection and came up to Jiang Heng during breaks in filming, being extremely enthusiastic.

During breaks, she also invited Jiang Heng to go shopping together, but was rejected every time.

That afternoon, it was the day before the holiday, and everyone in the crew was a little slack, with one scene having to be NGed more than a dozen times.

This finally angered Jiang Heng, who flew into a rage.

Huang Xiaoming was so frightened that he didn't dare to speak at all.

Liu Yifei was even more timid and her face turned pale.

But Megan Fox said boldly: "Jiang, don't be angry, it's not all their fault!"

Jiang Heng turned around and said angrily, "Don't think that just because I didn't scold you, you're fine. How did you shoot this morning? You had so many NGs in a row. I held back my anger, but you guys are not aware of it at all!"

The scene was filled with silence, no one dared to speak.

Megan Fox was scolded, but she was not angry. Instead, she smiled and said, "Do you feel better after getting angry at me? If you are angry, just get angry at me!"

This was said in Chinese, and because the intonation is not standard, it sounds weird.

But many people understood the hidden meaning in it.

Some people secretly complained that this foreign girl was so open-minded that she could speak so bluntly in front of so many people. Liu Yifei secretly cursed her in her heart for being shameless.

More people envied Jiang Heng's romantic encounter.

After hearing this, Jiang Heng couldn't keep a straight face anymore.

He snorted coldly and said, "Take a break for twenty minutes and shoot again later!" Then he went back to his lounge.

When Jiang Heng's back disappeared from everyone's sight, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Someone said: "When Director Jiang gets angry, it's really scary!"

"Yeah, there's a feeling of being suppressed by blood!"

"What do you think is the relationship between this Megan and Director Jiang?"

"What kind of relationship could that be? A couple, a crew couple? It's not an ordinary man-woman relationship anyway!"

Those who are able to work in the crew of "Pacific Rim 2" are all famous in the Chinese entertainment circle. They have seen too many "crew couples" and are no longer surprised.

"Hey, Director Jiang is so lucky to have such a sexy Hollywood star!"

"Liu Yifei is also very beautiful!"

"Children only do multiple-choice questions, adults must ask for all!"

While these people were talking, Megan Fox had quietly come to Jiang Heng's lounge and wanted to push the door open, but found that the door was locked.

I knocked twice but there was no response, so I had no choice but to leave.

As he left, he muttered, "It's unimaginable that there are such conservative directors in the mainland entertainment industry, and they are directors of special effects blockbusters. If he were in Hollywood, he would be an uncrowned king!"

After returning to the shooting site, twenty minutes passed before Jiang Heng slowly approached.

This time it went smoothly and I passed it in one try.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Jiang Heng gave the crew a holiday.

The cast and crew drove back to Beijing. Megan Fox walked up to Jiang Heng and said in a sweet voice, "Director Jiang, can I take your car later? I have something important to tell you!"
