China Entertainment’s rescue plan is hard to come by

Chapter 430 Aerial Photography [Please subscribe]

After completing the task of his mother taking Liu Yifei home for dinner, Sun Yi returned to the filming of "The Intouchables". It took him another three days to shoot all the interior scenes of the movie.

There are two big outdoor scenes left.

One is a scene of taking Zhang Guoli to the hospital, which can be regarded as a road racing scene. Sun Yi has already applied to the Beijing Public Security Bureau and is planning to film it in the city. Fortunately, the Chinese New Year will be in more than half a month, and the traffic flow on the Beijing roads will decrease sharply. , what he had in mind was during the Chinese New Year.

As he expected, the Public Security Bureau agreed. On the night of New Year's Eve, a section of the road outside the Third Ring Road would be temporarily blocked for filming by the crew.

There is only one scene left where Sun Yi takes Zhang Guoli to paraglider again in order to break his nightmare.

In the film, Zhang Guoli's paralysis was caused by a paragliding accident, and his wife also died unfortunately. Afterwards, he fell into self-blame and self-preparation, hating himself all the time, and thinking that he was disabled.

This was the most important reason why Sun Yi, who was obviously uneducated and a bit conceited, was chosen as a nurse when he came to apply for the job for the first time, because Sun Yi looked at him without the slightest pity. Treat him completely as a normal person.

This is what he needs.

And even with Sun Yi as his lifelong friend, he still hasn't gotten over his inner demons, so much so that he actually met the pen pal who he had not dared to write to for a year. If Sun Yi hadn't dialed him directly. He didn't even dare to make a phone call.

This is why in the film, Sun Yi took him to experience paragliding again even though he was afraid of heights.

This scene is very simple, but the difficulty lies in how to shoot it.

With today's domestic technical conditions, if you want to do aerial photography, most film crews will only choose to extend the crane arm, or use a hot air balloon, or if you have money, use a real helicopter, but there are various problems.

No matter how long the swing arm is, there is a limit. It cannot shoot high altitudes, and hot air balloons cannot shoot sports scenes. Not only is the helicopter expensive, but it is also very troublesome to apply for it in the capital. The air traffic control in the capital is not something you can fly whenever you want.

When studying this scene, Tian Zhuang suggested that a combination of the first two would be enough, that is, a crane to take a low-altitude close-up, and then a hot-air balloon to take a long-distance high-altitude panorama, and then cut the shot during post-editing.

But Sun Yi, who had seen various aerial shots of later generations, was not satisfied with this shooting, and there was nothing new at all.

Tian Zhuang scoffed at his idea.

With the current technical conditions, no matter how innovative you are, can you still shoot flowers? Otherwise, it would be a waste of money and time to use green screen special effects and cutout of the entire scene.

At that time, Sun Yi smiled mysteriously and said, "Old man, you can't keep up with the times. Just wait, I will be surprised when the time comes."

More than two months have passed, and what Tian Zhuang was waiting for has arrived.

The FS area in Beijing is currently the leading flying club in Beijing, and the entire paragliding area has been rented by the crew.

At 8 o'clock in the morning, the crew was all in place. According to the plan, the set was arranged and makeup was put on. Tian Zhuang was sitting in the surveillance booth with his leisurely time holding his thermos bottle. When he saw Sun Yi walking in, he lowered his head and blew He blew the tea leaves, took a sip, and then asked with a smile:

"My Director Sun, what are you going to do today? It's about time the old man opened his eyes."

Sun Yi raised his wrist to look at the time and said with a smile, "It's almost time."

Just as he was talking, a small box of goods drove up from a distance, followed by a commercial vehicle, and he arrived at the set in the blink of an eye.

The driver of the business car was Sheng He. A young man with glasses and a slightly thin face got out of the co-pilot. After getting off the car, he wrapped himself tightly in a down jacket and then followed Sheng He.

Sun Yi also came up to greet him, and the two shook hands tightly.

"Oh, Mr. Sun, Mr. Sun, we have been friends for a long time. We have been friends with each other for a long time." "Thank you Mr. Wang for coming all the way from Shenzhen. Why is it that this winter in Beijing is unusual?"

"Hey, it's really cold. I'm not used to it. I'm not used to it."

"Hahaha."

The person coming is Wang Tao. Many people may not know this name, but when talking about DJI, the leading brand of drones, many people know that Wang Tao is the founder of DJI.

Previously, when Sun Yi thought about the need for aerial photography, the first thing he thought of was DJI's aerial photography drone. He knew that DJI was established in 2006, but he really didn't know if any mature products had appeared in 08. clear.

But at that time, he really didn't have time, so he could only entrust Gao Xilan to help him make a trip. Although Sister Lan didn't understand technology, as a senior financial figure, she had a very clear understanding of the company's operations. A simple investigation could tell the general operation of a company. Condition.

Unexpectedly, at this time, although DJI has just started two years ago, it is developing well. With the help of Wang Tao University’s tutor, the company also completed angel round financing.

Moreover, it already has its first-generation product, the automated electric unmanned helicopter EH-1, and has developed a helicopter flight control system XP3.1, which has real-time image transmission and collection functions and has been used in terrain surveying, disaster relief and other occasions. .

After Sun Yi learned about it, he communicated directly with Wang Tao by phone and proposed the application direction of drones and aerial photography equipment.

After several communications, Wang Tao was enlightened. He was amazed by the idea proposed by Sun Yi. After learning about the aerial photography situation that Sun Yi currently needed, he directly arranged for engineers to reassemble a drone specifically for Sun Yi. Come out, just in time, just arrived today.

What happened here has attracted the attention of many crew members, and everyone knows that Sun Yi said that he will do some new aerial photography today, and they are all curious.

At this time, the engineers from DJI had already removed the baffle of the cargo box.

The scene exclaimed.

"Helicopter."

"Hell, this...is this a real guy?"

Wang Tao led Sun Yi forward and explained while trembling: "Mr. Sun, please look at this, our company has reassembled the EH-2, an aerial-like automated electric unmanned helicopter, for you according to your shooting requirements."

"The stability in the air has been strengthened, and the newly launched high-definition sports camera from GoPro has been reinstalled."

Sun Yi looked up and down and found that DJI's products were not the rotorcraft of later generations, but traditional unmanned helicopters, but they looked very sophisticated and he was very satisfied.

Tian Zhuang followed suit and walked around the box of goods as if looking at a Western, and then asked with a puzzled look on his face: "Can this thing work?"

Sun Yi shrugged and said with a smile: "Teacher, you will know if you try it."

Wang Tao personally showed Sun Yi how to operate it. They now have the first-generation flight control system developed by themselves. Although the control panel is quite large, it is not difficult to operate, and the action camera is fixed on the nose of the aircraft. Just point the camera head at the thing you want to shoot, and Sun Yi learned it in a few moments.

It took off, circled the field, hovered, took pictures, and after some maneuvers, brought the aircraft back down.

The current Internet speed is not high enough, and images cannot be transmitted in real time. They can only be stored in the on-board camera and viewed later.

Everyone gathered around the computer to watch.

When the picture came out, Tian Zhuang was the first to exclaim, "It's so clear!"
