Chapter 457
During the preparation for the start of the filming, Cao An posted the group photo he had just taken on his social media.
He also wrote: All members are here, let's get started!
The location where everyone took the group photo was at the entrance of the Mars base park. In the back, you can still see some of the base's appearance and the artificial surface of Mars.
Cao An now has more than 100 million fans on major platforms.
Of course, it's not true that 100 million people follow Cao An.
Many people follow him on various platforms at the same time.
In order to highlight the popularity and strength of their own platforms, some platforms will add some cyber fans to the accounts of well-known figures.
The ones with the most fans are Fanxing and Weibo.
The former is their own territory, with 37.22 million followers.
People who have installed this software basically like Cao An.
The number on Weibo is even higher, more than 70 million.
Only Weibo officials know how much water there is in it.
And after Cao An posted this group photo, the artists of Fanxing and the actors who appeared in this group photo reposted it one after another.
The popularity was instantly pushed up.
Cao An is now a huge traffic pool.
Coupled with the resources controlled by Fanxing, it is really a simple thing to promote something.
However, Cao An's account only shares some of his work situation and has no other content.
Such a large exposure instantly attracted a large group of people to come and watch and comment.
"Director Cao, please post more photos. I love to see them."
"Boss Cao is so dedicated. He started work right after the National Day!"
"This lineup is so luxurious. Director Cao doesn't look out of place among a group of handsome men and beautiful women."
"How can he not look out of place? I recognized Director Cao at first sight. My husband is so handsome [love-crazy]."
"I haven't seen Bingbing for a long time. She looks even more beautiful this time, and she has a maternal glow."
"Is that the Mars base behind? It looks so real. There are not many people in China who build scenes seriously except Fanxing."
"It's not a loss for Fanxing to build scenes. It will be open to the public directly after filming and the cost will be recovered in no time."
"I predict that the opening time of the Mars park will be synchronized with the release time of the movie."
"Aren't you talking nonsense? I just hope that the other two amusement parks can be built at the same time, otherwise it will be too difficult to grab tickets."
...
The first scene of "The Martian" is shot with the Mars exploration team digging soil and doing experiments outside the base, joking and chatting with each other.
According to the old tradition, the first scene of the filming is to shoot some simple scenes to ensure a good start.
Cao An used to have this habit, but later he changed it as he filmed more and more scenes.
Just follow the normal shooting plan.
Disrupting the shooting plan can easily affect the workflow and the state of the actors.
During this period, several people have changed into Mars extravehicular work clothes.
Fanxing has filmed so many outer space scenes, and the design of space costumes has been updated and iterated several times.
Today's space suits are no longer as bulky and stuffy as before.
The costumes worn by everyone for this shooting use the helmet technology of the water park, allowing the air inside to flow.
It is also equipped with a wireless call system, allowing the actors to communicate freely and hear Cao An's suggestions at any time.
In order to show more realism, Cao An actually arranged some "scientific research tasks" for them.
Let them complete the tasks instead of completing the actions.
As a staff member of the headquarters, Song Zhengyu also came to the scene today, sitting next to Cao An and responsible for observing whether everyone's actions are in line with the Martian environment and whether they meet the specifications of extravehicular activities.
"Can you hear me?"
Cao An's voice sounded in the communication channel of the six actors.
"I can hear you."
"Received."
"Everything is normal."
...
After everyone confirmed, Cao An directly ordered "The first scene of the Mars rescue, start shooting."
With his order, the four people walked out of the pressure balance compartment of the space base and headed to their respective mission locations.
The computer scientist and the doctor stayed in the base to conduct experiments.
Cao An also arranged corresponding content for the two of them, so that they looked like they were doing experiments and working.
As time went by, many messy footprints appeared on the originally flat sand, and various marks were erected on the surface.
After ten minutes, the scenes arranged in the script officially began.
"Everyone pays attention, you must always ensure that you are in the sight of your companions and synchronize your position at any time."
Fan Bing's voice appeared in the radio communication, and several people reported their work while joking.
The overall atmosphere seemed very relaxed.
At this time, the computer scientist received two alarms.One is the approaching storm alarm, and the other is the meteorite impact alarm.
The meteorite alarm is because the meteorite collided with the asteroid belt around Mars when it approached Mars.
The direction was shifted, making the impact site closer to the base.
Although it will not collide with the base head-on, the shock wave it generates is likely to shock the return launcher.
This is the result of the modification after Cao An and Zhong Yinghuai discussed.
A Martian storm alone is not enough to blow the aircraft, so an unexpected meteorite impact background was added.
After discovering the alarm, she quickly contacted the captain Liu Ningjing.
"Captain, there are two danger alarms, and you need to come back."
At this time, the relaxed atmosphere of everyone disappeared instantly, and their expressions were solemn.
"Cut!"
"It's well shot, this one is passed."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and then the staff immediately began to prepare, and the main actors returned to the Mars base.
The next scene will be filmed here.
On the first day of shooting, Cao An was lucky and the shooting went smoothly.
And it didn't rain at night, so they could continue shooting.
The scene of the retreat at the end had to be filmed at night to highlight the storm covering the sky.
It was not that Cao An had to work overtime, but the effect of filming at night was better.
Because this scene was very complicated, not only did he have to move to the launcher in the dark, but he also had to simulate the storm and the impact of meteorites.
It took many shots to pass.
If one shot failed, the items had to be recalibrated, and the preparation work in the middle took up most of the time.
At four o'clock in the morning, the filming of this scene was finally completed.
Cao An said to everyone: "Everyone has worked hard. Take a day off today and start filming again at nine o'clock tomorrow morning."
Everyone was relieved to hear that Cao An approved the results of the filming.
Filming is like this, as long as Cao An does not nod.
It is normal to shoot until dawn.
Cao An first gave a few instructions to the staff, and then came to the group of actors.
"Thank you for your hard work. Everyone take off your space suits and go back to the hotel to rest."
After a while, after a simple cleanup of the shooting site, everyone sat on the park's Little White Dragon and returned to their residence.
The internal staff of Fanxing returned to their rooms in Fanxing Park, while the external staff returned to Fanxing Hotel.
When the few people returned to the 11th floor of Fanxing Building, it was already five o'clock, and the sky of the imperial capital was already slightly bright.
Cao An took a simple shower and prepared to rest, when his cell phone rang.
[Fan Bing: Husband, come to my room. ]
[Cao An: Sister Bing, it's almost dawn, go to bed early. ]
[Fan Bing: What are you thinking about, come here quickly, I'm uncomfortable with the swelling. ]
