… …..
The next day at noon, Director Ding Yin had been distracted ever since the crew sent out the lunch boxes.
Today's weather forecast was a level 5 wind.
This wind speed would cause some small trees to shake and ripples to appear on the surface of the lake.
A level 5 wind speed wouldn't affect the filming at all. However, the two sad camera arms, which had been waiting for the wind to stop for a long time, almost gave everyone a heart attack.
If the camera crew hadn't pulled them back, they would've been snapped off by now.
In order to find out why the wind speed was so fast, Director Ding Yin specially invited two engineers from the Zhongyun City Meteorological Bureau to come here with professional data.
Of course, this wasn't the reason for Director Ding Yin's absent-mindedness. Yesterday, he finally found out that there was a company in China that could produce high tech products that were far superior to normal film arms.
He happily called the company, but was mercilessly rejected. It was as if producing this kind of film arm was a technical humiliation to him.
Originally, this project was going to fail, but unexpectedly, Mr Ye and Xue Ninggong were elementary school classmates.
Then, Mr Ye didn't even discuss the price and promised to deliver the two film arms the next afternoon.
This huge difference in treatment made Director Ding Yin very sad.
Because of this, Director Ding Yin wanted to see the difference between the film arms made by Monster Heavy Industries and the normal film arms on the market.
"Director, could it be an aluminum alloy pipe that looks like a fishing rod and we have to run with it?" The cameraman was Fu Xiangqing, who had won the Best Cinematography Award at the Golden Rooster Awards. He was only afraid of Director Ding.
"After all, what can that company make in a day?"
"You're asking me, but who am I supposed to ask? But I'm looking forward to it. " Director Ding Yin would occasionally look at a large gap in the distance. That was the gate of Chengzi Lake. Later, for some reason, the water here completely dried up. The local government simply blew up the gate to make it easier for farmers to come in and farm.
There were two gates, but the only one that was suitable for cars to enter was the one he was looking at.
Fifteen minutes before the start of the filming, a seven-seater white Highlander came running through the gap in the road, looking travel-worn.
The Highlander also had the logo of the Zhongyun Meteorological Bureau printed on it. Obviously, this was not the best target that Director Ding Yin was looking forward to.
After some small talk, several people from the Zhongyun Meteorological Bureau began to move the mobile weather station, wind direction sensor, speed recorder, weather balloon and so on from the car. These meteorological equipment were used to test the mystery of the strange wind in Chengzi Lake.
It was said to be a strange wind because the wind speed inside was not very high. For example, the current weather forecast said that there would be a Force 5 wind. Because of the surrounding earth dams, it was at most a Force 4 wind. However, the wind speed above was surprisingly high. Fifty meters above, it could be a Force 6 wind.
Don't underestimate the difference. A Level 4 wind can make people feel comfortable with a gentle breeze, but a Level 6 wind can blow your umbrella over.
The two engineers from the weather bureau were busy measuring the wind with their assistants. The director, Ding Yin, was about to start shooting the scenes that did not require a rocker arm when a Mercedes-Benz G65 and two flatbed trailers rolled up a cloud of dust.
Ding Yin's eyes lit up. He hurriedly sat up in the director's chair with anticipation and nervousness.
The two flatbed trailers each had a set of silver-white rectangular equipment folded together. It was obvious that these were the anti-wind camera rockers that Monster Heavy Industries had specially made for them.
"He's coming, he's coming, he's coming." Director Ding Yin quickly called for the cameraman and went with him to welcome this Director Ye who was unwilling to accept his order.
Xue Ninggong also ran out of the nanny van. For the sake of convenience, she did not take off the sci-fi spacesuit that looked like a fashion model's spacesuit.
It was a tight-fitting elastic leather spacesuit with a lot of streamlined white armor attached to the outside.
At first glance, it looked very similar, but it could not be seen up close.
When they drove past the dirt road and approached the film crew, Ye Qing almost laughed out loud when he saw Xue Ninggong's outfit.
It was obvious that the film crew did not have the ability to make a tight-fitting metal spacesuit. They could only make do with plastic plates that were sprayed with white metal paint. They could fool laymen, but of course they could not fool Ye Qing.
"Hello, hello. Hello, Mr. Ye." Director Ding Yin enthusiastically shook Ye Qing's hands. "Thank you for taking the time to help us make two sets of equipment that we urgently need."
"Xue Ninggong was my classmate in elementary school. I couldn't not help her." Ye Qing nodded. "Director Ding, you should have said so earlier."
"Your spacesuit is very beautiful." After saying this, Ye Qing went against his will to praise Xue Ninggong.
Xue Ninggong waved her arms a few times. The plastic plates that acted as protective armor immediately made a clattering sound.
"There will be special effects in post-production to beautify it." Xue Ninggong generously accepted Ye Qing's joke. "I originally wanted to find a company to make the lightweight metal, but in the end I found a metal crafting company. The product they made is like a knight from the 19th century. I can't even bend my back."
"This is a camera arm made by your company? It looks so high-end. " Xue Ninggong didn't have much makeup on, and her hairstyle was very normal. It looked like she was a simple alien beauty.
Xue Ninggong walked to the side of the truck and stood on her tiptoes to look at the somewhat dazzling silver square brackets.
Just from the looks of it, there was no similarity between it and a normal camera arm.
Instead, it looked a bit like a cloud car.
The crew had a crane that was responsible for hanging wires. It didn't take long for them to unload the two unusual arms that had huge fixed bases and were ten meters long.
Many people in the crew ran over to see what was going on. Ye Qing even saw a few beautiful female celebrities that he could name.
As for the male celebrities, Ye Qing automatically filtered them out.
This was also the reason why Ye Qing had come in person today. He could see many celebrities, the filming process that he had never seen before, and the interstellar spaceship that was said to be very sci-fi.
But after looking left and right, he couldn't find any traces of an interstellar spaceship. This made him very disappointed.
"Mr. Ye, are you sure this is really a camera arm?" Fu Xiangqing from the film crew walked around the neatly stacked equipment with a face full of distrust. "Why isn't it fixed with steel cables?"
"Because we don't need those outdated things." Ye Qing also had a question to ask. "Director Ding, where's the interstellar spaceship?"
Director Ding's face was a little red. The steel cable arm that the film crew had been using had been called outdated by someone else. The plastic spacesuits had also been ridiculed by this CEO Ye, and now, he was directly attacking his sore spot.
"No … there's an interstellar spaceship." Director Ding pointed at the specially cleared construction site in the center and said awkwardly, "That's where the spaceship is parked, but we don't have the technology to copy Hollywood and build a model."
"This spaceship is completely built with computer special effects."
"…" What else could Ye Qing say? What else could he expect from a domestic sci-fi movie?
"Mr. Ye, how much is this equipment?" Director Ding changed the topic. "And how does it operate? Please forgive my ignorance, because we're used to using traditional steel cables. "
"We'll talk about the price after we test it." Ye Qing waved his hand. "Let's test the performance of these two arms first."
"You can't!"
Suddenly there was a loud shout, scaring the people around the arms.
The person who spoke was a member of the Weather Bureau wearing a uniform and holding a weather recorder.
"You can't test this kind of arm."
"Why?" Director Ding Yin was puzzled.
"Because there's a problem with the terrain here. Once the south wind blows, there will be an air vortex in the sky." This professional from the Weather Bureau said seriously, "The wind speed above has reached level six, and it's a vortex. Not to mention an 80 meter arm, even a 20 meter arm would be broken."
