Chapter 74 Filming Process, A Fantasy Adventure

In the dreamlike world of virtual reality film and television projects, the filming process is like a thrilling fantasy adventure. Ling Yichen and Jun Moran led the entire team into a field full of unknowns and challenges. Capturing every shot was like exploring a new planet in a mysterious universe, and every scene transition was like traversing and jumping between different dimensions of time and space.

The filming location was set up like a base from a science fiction movie, with various advanced equipment gleaming mysteriously. Staff members bustled about, like a group of brave interstellar explorers making final preparations for a grand journey. A giant green screen, like a backdrop to the universe, awaited the arrival of the virtual world, instantly transforming real space into a fantastical unknown realm.

Ling Yichen and Jun Moran, dressed in specially designed motion capture suits, resembled warriors from the future, their movements agile and powerful. Their faces radiated excitement and anticipation, their eyes revealing unwavering determination, as if they were about to embark on a great mission to save the world. At the director's command, filming officially began, and they instantly immersed themselves in their roles, seemingly truly in that fantastical virtual world.

In a scene depicting an intense interstellar battlefield, Ling Yichen, who plays the protagonist Xingyao, must engage in a life-or-death struggle against alien creatures within a virtual spaceship. He wields an energy sword radiating blue light, its blade gleaming with a chilling glint; each swing seems capable of cleaving through the darkness of the universe. Facing the grotesque faces and ferocious attacks of the virtual alien beings, Ling Yichen, relying on his solid martial arts skills and rich acting experience, skillfully dodges their attacks while precisely executing counterattacks. His eyes burn with the flames of battle, and he shouts out a spirited cry, as if he were truly fighting to protect Earth and humanity.

Jun Mo Ran, meanwhile, closely monitored the filming from the control panel. His character, Yue Ying, was currently in the spaceship's command center, providing tactical support to Xing Yao through advanced technology. Jun Mo Ran's fingers moved rapidly across the virtual control panel, as if he were truly operating the complex interstellar warship systems. His expression was focused and calm, his voice steady and powerful, conveying various commands perfectly in sync with Ling Yi Chen's performance, creating a tense and exciting battle atmosphere.

However, the filming process was not without its challenges. The complexity of virtual reality technology presented numerous unexpected difficulties. In filming a scene traversing a mysterious forest, the trees and vegetation in the virtual environment needed to react in real-time to the characters' actions, such as the swaying of branches and the rustling of leaves. However, during actual filming, due to a technical glitch, the dynamic effects of the trees were delayed, resulting in somewhat stiff and unnatural-looking footage.

The director frowned, nervously discussing solutions with the technical staff. The technicians quickly gathered around the computer, carefully examining the code and data, trying to pinpoint the problem. Ling Yichen and Jun Moran didn't relax during the filming pause; they used the time to delve deeper into their roles, recalling their understanding and imagination of the scene during pre-production, striving to present the characters' emotions and actions even more perfectly once the problem was resolved.

After a tense emergency repair, the technical problem was finally resolved. Filming resumed, and Ling Yichen and Jun Mozhan quickly regained their focus, continuing their adventure in the mysterious forest. Ling Yichen cautiously moved through the dense foliage, his eyes scanning his surroundings warily, as if ready to deal with any danger lurking in the shadows. He gently parted the branches, which swayed naturally at his touch, making a soft sound, and the fallen leaves rustled under his feet, making the entire virtual forest seem to come alive. Jun Mozhan maintained contact with Ling Yichen through a virtual communication device; his voice echoed in Ling Yichen's ears, guiding him in the right direction. Their seamless cooperation ensured the smooth execution of the scene.

As filming progressed, they encountered an even more complex scene—a mysterious castle suspended in the clouds. The castle's architecture blended ancient Gothic style with futuristic technology, its towering spires piercing the sky, and its walls shimmering with strange runes. Filming this scene required not only actors to perform various climbing, jumping, and combat maneuvers in virtual space, but also precise spatial positioning and stable visuals to ensure the audience could experience the castle's grandeur and mystery.

Ling Yichen and Jun Moran rehearsed multiple times before filming, familiarizing themselves with every movement and positioning. During filming, relying on their excellent physical abilities and tenacious perseverance, they climbed and leaped on the walls of the virtual castle with agile and fluid movements. Their figures traversed the clouds, engaging in fierce battles with virtual guards, each move brimming with power and beauty. However, due to the extreme complexity of the castle setting and the high demands on equipment performance, occasional frame drops occurred during filming.

This time, the technical issues were more challenging, requiring a complete system optimization. Without a single complaint, the team members worked together seamlessly, dividing the tasks among themselves. The technicians urgently adjusted server configurations and optimized data transmission algorithms; the art designers streamlined and optimized the castle model, reducing unnecessary details to improve rendering efficiency; Ling Yichen and Jun Moran cheered everyone on, sharing their feelings and experiences from the filming process to help the other actors maintain a good state of mind.

After a long and arduous effort, filming of the mysterious castle was finally completed successfully. When the final footage was released, everyone was awestruck by the magnificent scene. The castle shimmered with golden light under the sunlight, and the surrounding clouds floated like clouds. The figures of Ling Yichen and Jun Moran fighting bravely within the castle resembled a fantastical painting from the future.
