Chapter 254: Pacific Rim Filming in Progress
After the opening ceremony, the reporters were invited to a small conference room next door for tea and snacks.
Fu Yibai led the main creative team into the studio to begin filming the first scene.
The photography studio is ridiculously large.
Standing at the door and looking inside, it looks like a huge, empty box.
The exposed steel frame structure overhead, with various lighting equipment and cranes hanging from it, resembles the eyes of steel behemoths.
In the center of the tent is the interior of the cockpit of the "Gipsy Danger"—a circular, high-tech cabin surrounded by a dense array of buttons and screens, two side-by-side control platforms, and a ring of lights overhead.
This was built by the art team over three months; just the wiring for those dozens of screens took two weeks.
"Deng Chao, you stand on the left."
Binbin, on the right.
Fu Yibai stood behind the monitor, holding a walkie-talkie in his hand.
"This scene is the first time the two of you have performed a neural bridge, and you need to show that discomfort and the pain during the synchronization process."
Deng Chao, you need to portray the feeling of someone who's forcing themselves not to lose face in front of women.
Binbin, you need to be more composed than him, but you also need to have that uncomfortable feeling of having your mind invaded.
The two nodded and went to their respective seats.
"Lights ready—"
The lighting technician adjusted the overhead lights, dimming the cockpit and giving it a cold, blue hue.
"Prepare for recording—"
"Photography preparation—"
"Action!"
Deng Chao and Fan Binbin closed their eyes at the same time, leaned back slightly on the operating chairs.
Several sensor patches were attached to the two men's arms, connected to several wires, the other end of which was connected to the control panel.
Deng Chao frowned, first slightly, then more and more tightly, his lips pressed into a line, and the muscles in his jaw tensed up.
His body began to tremble slightly, spreading from his arms to his shoulders, and then from his shoulders to his whole body.
Fan Binbin's reaction was more restrained than his.
Her eyes were closed, her breathing became rapid, her chest heaved more and more, and her fingers gripped the armrests of the control chair.
"Neural bridging completion rate... 30%"
The staff member next to him read out his lines, his voice coming through the microphone with a mechanical, cold quality.
"Fifty percent...seventy percent..."
Deng Chao's body trembled even more violently, and a thin layer of sweat seeped from his forehead.
His lips parted, and he let out a suppressed groan, as if he were enduring some immense pain.
"Ninety percent...ninety-five percent..."
Fan Binbin frowned, but she gritted her teeth and didn't make a sound.
She gripped the armrest even tighter, her knuckles almost piercing her skin.
"100% success. Neural bridging successful."
The two opened their eyes at the same time, panting heavily.
Deng Chao glanced at Fan Binbin, a somewhat forced smile appearing on his lips.
"It's...it's alright, isn't it?"
Fan Binbin glanced at him, didn't say anything, but the corners of her mouth curved slightly.
"Card!"
Fu Yibai's voice came through the walkie-talkie.
"This one is approved."
Both performers gave excellent performances; their emotions were spot-on.
Deng Chao stood up from his chair, stretched his shoulders, and gave Fan Binbin a thumbs up.
In November, it gets dark early in Beijing.
Around 5 p.m., all the lights in the studio were turned on, illuminating the entire studio as if it were daytime.
When we finished filming the last scene today, it was already past 7 p.m.
Fu Yibai sat behind the monitor, watching the playback.
Fan Binbin and Deng Chao stood to the side, waiting for his opinion.
"This one is approved."
Fu Yibai stood up and stretched his stiff neck.
"That's all for today."
Be there promptly at 8:00 AM tomorrow.
"receive!"
Deng Chao gave a perfunctory bow, then turned to his assistant to get his coat.
Fan Binbin walked over to Fu Yibai and lowered his voice.
"Want to come to my place tonight?"
I have something to do tonight.
Fan Binbin pursed her lips, said nothing, kissed him on the cheek, and then turned and left.
Guo Zhenni walked over, holding his coat in her hand.
"Mr. Fu, the car is ready."
"Um."
Fu Yibai put on his coat and walked outside.
It was freezing outside the studio; the November night wind felt like knives cutting into my face.
He strode to the van, opened the door, and got in.
"Back to the company."
"Yes."
The car drove out of the China Film Group Corporation base and onto the airport expressway.
Outside the window, Beijing was brightly lit, and the roadside trees cast long shadows under the car headlights.
Fu Yibai leaned back in his chair with his eyes closed.
My phone vibrated.
He took it out and saw it was a message from Yang Mi.
"Brother Yibai, I've finished filming today."
I'm going back to Beijing tomorrow, can I visit the set?
Fu Yibai typed a reply.
"bring it on."
Yang Mi replied instantly.
"I love you~"
Fu Yibai put his phone back in his pocket and continued to close his eyes.
Soon, Fu Yibai arrived at the company.
"Mr. Fu, you're back."
As soon as Fu Yibai and Guo Zhenni entered the hall, Lin Yufen, who had been waiting for a long time, came to greet them.
"Director Lin, what are you doing waiting here?"
"Haha, I'm so excited."
Let's go up quickly.
"it is good."
Fu Yibai nodded.
The three of them sat down in the theater, the lights dimmed, and the movie "Finding Mr. Right" began playing on the big screen.
Fu Yibai rushed back this time to review the final version of "Finding Mr. Right".
This is, after all, Lin Yufen's first project after signing with Chenxi, so she is very unsure of herself.
Therefore, I specifically asked Fu Yibai to help me review it.
