Time, amidst this bizarre chaos, gradually drew near to May Day.
The film crew, under Liu Yun's high standards, continued filming methodically, without making any compromises.
Even though the deadline was fast approaching and everyone was on edge, Liu Yun remained calm and composed.
On the evening of April 28th, after the last shot was filmed under the green screen, Liu Yun finally smiled after watching the monitor and announced that filming was finished.
For a moment, the entire film crew fell silent.
There wasn't a single cheer.
Only they know how many green screen shots were filmed during this period; all of them were for special effects.
Even a one-cent special effect takes a considerable amount of time to produce.
Even if we work overtime every day, will we be able to finish filming in the last few days?
Released in two days?
I've never made a movie in such a rush.
Everyone was a little worried that the hard work of a group of people was really going to turn into a huge mess.
Liu Yun asked in bewilderment, "Filming's wrapped up, aren't you happy?"
"I can finally get a good night's sleep tonight, and I don't have to be so stressed about filming anymore."
"Oh, we've got a big wrap-up dinner tonight too. There are a lot of people in our crew, and even those who finished filming earlier haven't left yet. I had the chef prepare a continuous feast. Everyone, eat and drink well, and let's get together again for the next project!"
This show has a huge reputation and a promising future.
Many people put in a lot of effort, and after filming wrapped, they were worried that they wouldn't be able to properly transition into a new work mode, so they stayed with the Liu Yun crew.
I'm afraid that one day there will be a scene that requires me to stop filming so I can immediately step in.
Staying primarily in Liu Yun's production crew meant learning things that were truly unparalleled by other production crews.
Many things you learn can benefit you for life.
This is also a strange phenomenon. In other film crews, actors don't even join the crew until it's their turn to act.
Liu Yun is still here even after filming has wrapped.
We're definitely not from the same world.
Liu Yun: ...Why does everyone look so serious when we're talking about a big meal?
Seriously? Is everyone under that much pressure?
She had clearly reminded everyone many times that her work could not be shoddy and that she would treat it with care.
So, not many people believe in it, right?
She's always filmed very quickly. This time, in order to rush the May Day release, it was indeed a bit rushed. Doesn't that make it at all credible?
That shouldn't be the case; she didn't make people believe her for no reason.
At least his previous works were quite convincing!
Song Xingfei, bearing everyone's expectations, said with slightly red eyes, "A big meal, my foot! Today is already the 28th. It's not just a matter of life and death, it's a matter of life and death, and you still have the mood for a gathering?"
Liu Yun: "...Why are you in no mood for it? Chef Li has been preparing this for a long time. Aren't you going to eat it? Are you going to waste food?"
Song Xingfei: ...Are they talking about the same thing?
"The movie, sister, there are still two days left. Will we be able to finish today's scenes?"
"Everyone's heart was in their throats, and you, on the other hand, still had the mood to hold a wrap party."
Liu Yun spread her hands: "I promised, it's just that you didn't believe me."
"Don't worry, my secret special effects team is always on standby. Any shots I've mentioned will be sent over immediately and they'll be working overtime to complete them."
"Moreover, the special effects team not only has professional experts, but also advanced software for creating special effects. It's a personal creation that other companies simply don't have. Putting aside everything else, the speed at which they create special effects is much faster than you can imagine."
"People really don't need to judge it by common sense. Since I dared to release the movie on May Day, it's natural that the special effects are on schedule."
"The crew and the film have no one else interfering with them. Why would I risk my reputation?"
"Is it really necessary to make fun of the entire nation's audience and fans?"
"The future is long, why would I ruin my future and do something that harms others and myself?"
"Thinking about it carefully, I should be able to relax. I shouldn't waste tonight's big meal."
Chef Li will be sad if everyone is unhappy with their meal and doesn't eat properly.
Song Xingfei: ...My mind went blank, and I suddenly didn't know what to say.
But thinking about it, it makes sense. Liu Yun is too calm, and someone like her would never dig her own grave.
Song Xingfei smiled and breathed a big sigh of relief: "Oh, new technology? You should have told me sooner. I've been worried for so many days."
"If you really disappoint the national audience and the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, there might not even be a sequel!"
Liu Yun: "...Yun Zhao is there, does that mean I don't want it?"
Fei Fei pushed up her glasses and smiled, "The country has had quite a few cutting-edge technologies in the past year or two, so it's quite normal to have new technologies in special effects."
"Moreover, the special effects in Director Liu's works are full of the flavor of Chinese culture, which is indeed unlike the special effects style of foreign countries."
"Only the people of Yan understand the romance of Yan culture..."
This made everyone realize the truth even more, and they found Liu Yun's words to be even more convincing.
As a result, the smiles became contagious, and everyone broke into smiles, belatedly starting to celebrate the wrap-up of filming.
While tidying up, they looked forward to the so-called feast.
Liu Yun stretched and told Xie Xuan to get ready so they could go out for a big meal together.
Song Xingfei rolled her eyes at her: "What are you eating? Aren't you going to go and keep an eye on the special effects?"
"We only have two days, and we need to reserve a few hours to deliver the movie to the cinema, otherwise what will they use to screen it?"
Liu Yun:......
"So I can't even eat it? I didn't do the special effects myself."
It was done by a post-production generator, so she didn't need to do it herself.
"All the special effects are almost done. Is there anything else I need to keep an eye on?"
"Professionals should do professional things; don't give orders unnecessarily."
"You won't let me enjoy tonight's feast properly?"
The release date was indeed too tight this time.
Aside from the special effects and post-production voice-over, the background music wasn't intended to be made slowly.
Liu Yun had already planned to let the generator generate automatically.
If anyone has questions later, Liu Yun will say that she found her previous "mystery friend" for voice acting, mainly because of the tight schedule and that group of experts could do it quickly.
Yes, those are the experts behind those twenty animations on Yunzhao.com.
Anyway, these people never showed their faces; it was all Liu Yun who contacted them, and there were expenses associated with this.
All I can say is that it was significantly more expensive than the average voice actor, but looking at the finished product, there's only one word to describe it: worth it.
It also has special effects, and the price is about the same as the market price, but the finished product... instantly increases the cost-effectiveness.
Some people even asked Yun Zhaolai, wanting him to do special effects for them.
Even with the support of the basic software, Yun Zhao's special effects team has reached the top level in the industry, and the time can be reduced by half, but it is still not the same.
Many people know that Liu Yun's works have a separate special effects team, which is quite mysterious.
If anyone else wants it... well, let's just say this mysterious special effects team works exclusively for Liu Yun.
