Although Ning Yuan had never tried to tie his hands, he swam in the water with his hands in hand, and he felt good about himself, as for swimming, it was even more difficult for him, especially in terms of holding his breath.

Of course, the filming of this section is not in the real sea as shown in the movie.

Basically, if it's not a specific shot, underwater shooting is basically a scene created in a studio.

The seabed is not easy to control at all, and artificial scenes, the light, the clarity of the water, and the capture of the camera will be very convenient.

As long as the effect is not visible at all, it is enough.

The key is to save money, time and effort.

Ning Yuan had seen pirate filming footage and reports before, and Captain Jack's literary dramas were basically performed by Depp himself, but in martial arts, as long as he could use a stand-in, he didn't go into battle in person.

On the one hand, his living habits and physical fitness, on the other hand, the stand-in can play better.

Orlando, on the other hand, had little use for a stand-in, he was at his most physical and hard-working.

In this version, the two switched, Captain Jack did not use a stand-in, and Orlando used a stand-in in some complex action scenes in order to keep up with Ning Yuan's beat.

Of course, the Depp stand-in in the previous life was to catch up with Orlando's level, and in this life, it is to catch up with Ning Yuan's level, so the complexity of the design and the ornamentation are much higher than that one.

In the original Caribbean 1, there were not many fight scenes, and it was not the most attractive part - because those fights made the audience have an illusion when they watched it: I can do it.

As you can imagine, the difficulty is not high.

Although the biggest selling point of fantasy dramas is not the fighting, but the mysterious unknown, such as turning into skeletons on the night of the full moon, etc., the previous version is just subject to their abilities, so it can only come like that, but if it can be played better...... Increase the selling point, of course, the crew will not miss it.

And this version, because Ning Yuan can bear it, so when designing the action, a lot of thrilling and exciting things were specially added, such as increased speed, such as stopping a few centimeters in front of the eye from the tip of the sword, etc., and the time was also extended.

With such a change, the martial arts fingers that I found before were obviously not enough, but it was not so easy to find them temporarily.

The best such as Yuan Heping, who became famous for "The Matrix" many years ago, is now filming "Black 2", and he signed two films, and after the 2 is filmed, he will shoot 3, so he can't leave at all.

So Ning Yuan took the opportunity to recommend Cheng Long's team, and it was very pleasant to cooperate with those people at the beginning.

When Cheng Long chatted before, there was envy between his words, after all, when he went to Hollywood, the production cost was only tens of millions when he was the hottest, and Ning Yuan, which directly reached hundreds of millions, was still a famous Disney, when Cheng Long filmed "Rush Hour", the producer was the New Line Film Company, which was finally acquired by Warner.

Of course, in the previous life, in 04, Disney filmed a movie "Around the World in 80 Days" starring Cheng Long, with an investment of $110 million, which is comparable to this one, but the box office was unsatisfactory, only 70 million, a tragic loss.

But now Cheng Long, because of the success of "Rush Hour", has also made a name for himself in Hollywood, and Hemer said that of course there is no problem.

After receiving Ning Yuan's call, Cheng Long was naturally overjoyed and thanked Ning Yuan again and again.

came over and tried to shoot a few shots, including Haimo and director Gore, they were quite satisfied, so they signed a martial arts contract with Cheng Long's family class.

Although the remuneration is not as good as Cheng Long's own salary, Cheng Long is already old and can't play for many years, but his team, or the company, can make a steady stream of profits, provided that there are enough successful cases.

And to serve as a military commander for such a big-budget movie, if it succeeds, it is a gimmick enough, even if the movie box office is not good, this is also a golden resume, which is only good for the company and no harm.

So after signing the contract, Cheng Long once again expressed his gratitude to Ning Yuan.

"Thank me for what, you are my brother, it's not normal to help each other!"

Ning Yuan's words made Cheng Long laugh.

With the joining of Cheng Long's team, the action scenes were filmed more smoothly.

Time passed day by day, across March, and into April.

At this time, the group performances I found before finally started filming at this time.

Although the specific direction is done by the assistant director, Gore and Hemmer have designed every step, and they shoot those chaotic shots that show the life of ordinary people in the Middle Ages.

These shots are not used in many feature films, such as Port Royal, and Tutuga Island, where pirates gather, etc., but this is also an indispensable part.

In these shots, whether it is a person or any other being, it looks dirty.

In fact, most of the characters in the film have very few white and clean shots, such as Captain Jack in Ningyuan, needless to say, his style is not much better than that of a beggar, and even his teeth are yellow.

Compared with Captain Jack in Ningyuan, Orlando's Will is cleaner, but there is also a gap of 108,000 miles from the little white face of the elf prince before him.

Not to mention passerby actors.

In order to achieve the dirty picture effect in the shot, Gore also used a special trick to make the group of extras complain.

While they were filming in Ningyuan, the extras who were about to shoot were all sent outside the studio by Gore to go around the huge sand-and-stone open-air set of Disney Studios, and they had to be under the sun.

It's April now, and although it's not too hot, it's a dry and rainless climate, the air is also dry, and the sun is shining overhead.

In fact, the source of all this is that Gore is not satisfied with the costumes prepared by the costume team, although the costumes have been worn-out, but when they were test-shot, there was no dirty texture at all.

Gore's requirements for extras were clear: they were to wear their assigned costumes under the sun on the open-air set for three days, and no one was allowed to take them off or wash them, and all actors were not allowed to take a shower during these three days.

Of course, the crew also paid these extras three times the salary.

The effect is obvious, after three days of sunbathing in the dusty sun from time to time, the costume is definitely soaked with sweat and dust, the body is also a mess, and the hair is sticky together, and the smelly and dirty medieval civilian style is perfectly restored.

Not only the extras, except for the governors and brigadier generals, who played aristocratic actors during the filming, including Ning Yuan, the costumes were not brand new, they were all distressed, and the stains on the costumes and the traces of use were obvious, which made people subconsciously feel that they were real things, not temporary costumes.
