However, although He Jinnian has arrived in Shanghai with his crew, filming cannot begin immediately.
After all, to shoot such a large-scale science fiction film, the pre-production preparation is essential.
The next day, Xiao He arrived at the studio that the film crew had temporarily rented and began the difficult demolding process.
Human body demolding involves creating a 1:1 scale human body model, and then, according to the shooting requirements, creating various parts of the mecha shell, such as mechanical arms, mechanized transformation weapons, and mechanical external helmets. Finally, assembling and adding details, processing mechanical joints and lighting, and perfecting the overall appearance are all done.
The advantage of doing this is that even in close-up shots, the metallic texture, patterns, and light and shadow reflections of the machinery will be more realistic, the actors' physical interactions while wearing the equipment will be more natural, the movements will be smoother, there will be no need for extensive post-production CG repairs, and it will also allow the actors in the scenes to feel more immersed in the role.
The only one who might have a tough time is Xiao He himself.
He needs to repeatedly adjust the mold and maintain his physique to ensure the model is consistent from front to back, while also starting weight training.
The general content of this weight training is that Xiao He needs to tie heavy sandbags to his arms, feet, and back, and then walk back and forth and perform basic martial arts movements.
This is essentially simulating the mechanical combat state during filming.
Shu Han could not avoid this training either.
Although his six- or seven-meter-tall mecha robot was created with special effects in post-production, Shu Han still had to wear many sets of flight equipment and combat suits in the early stages, and he was suspended by wires almost as many times as Xiao He, which was also a major highlight of the action scenes.
So the two brothers, who were in the same boat, began to suffer again at the martial arts school.
They were still led by Song Zhe, Xiao He's former martial arts teacher.
Song Zhe was the swordsmanship teacher who lost an arm while on a mission. Although he was disabled, it did not affect the quality of his teaching. Over the years, Xiao He learned a lot from him, including not only swordsmanship and martial arts, but also some basic fighting techniques from other countries.
This time, Song Zhe will lead Xiao He and the others in advance training for the fight scenes in the movie.

That day, Xiao He saw Song Zhe voluntarily install a prosthetic arm on his arm for the first time.
Previously, due to his large range of motion, installing a prosthetic limb would actually hinder his flexibility and put a strain on his body. Therefore, Song Zhe rarely wore a prosthetic limb when teaching, and Xiao He had gotten used to it and didn't pay any attention to his disability.
It wasn't until this time, when Xiao He saw Song Zhe's arm with its mechanical texture, that he couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow, so cool, Teacher Song!"
In the plot of "Time and Space Standoff", Xiao He plays assassin A, who has a mechanical arm that can freely switch between all weapons and forms to deal with different combat needs in different situations.
In order to better study the later combat modes of the robotic arm, Song Zhe also cooperated with the crew's requirements and put on his own prosthetic arm.
Song Zhe, who rarely uses prosthetics, couldn't help but show a hint of loss on his face when he saw the mechanical arm replace his empty right hand.
However, this mood didn't last long, as a commotion soon erupted outside the practice room.
Then Pu Rong pushed open the door and walked in with Shu Han.
"Wuhu~"
This martial arts school belongs to Pu Rong's family, and Song Zhe is the resident teacher here. The two of them naturally have a very good relationship. So when Pu Rong saw Song Zhe's prosthetic leg, he exaggeratedly whistled: "Brother Song, you finally decided to wear it? I told you you should wear it from time to time. This kind of mechanical thing is prone to problems if you don't use it for a few days. It will get stuck here and there. You have to use it often to keep it looking new!"
"Um."
