Next chapter

In 2000, Sony released a report that teenagers are more excited about speeding than big-name stars, and even stars in the 20 million club are no exception. After that, violent special effects such as flying cars in Hollywood movies became more and more important.

As a sci-fi action movie, it is difficult to catch young audiences if you don't arrange a few minutes of car chase, and they are the most important consumer force in the film market. Therefore, Zhang Ran also designed a ten-minute car chase scene for his movie as a matter of course, with all kinds of cool and difficult actions.

The car chase scene of the Time Soldier takes place at the beginning of the movie, Jason looks for information about the city on the Internet after seeing "Maple Blade City" in a dream, but finds nothing, so he sends a message asking for help on the Internet. Unexpectedly, when Jason was working in the garage, a group of heavily armed SWAT officers came to the door. Jason did a lot of illegal things, and when he saw the heavily armed SWAT coming to the door, he immediately drove away, and the car chase scene began.

As of today, the movie's car chase scene has been filmed for five days. Now I want to shoot the most difficult and most important scene in the speeding car scene, a scene of a car bombing.

Zhang Ziyi drove the motorcycle around the front of Jason and launched a special device at Jason's car, which flew to the bottom of Jason's car and attached to the rear of the car chassis. Zhang Ziyi pressed the starter, and the device adsorbed on the chassis of Jason's car suddenly detonated, and the car was blown over.

The filming method of the movie's rollover is very simple, generally a green ramp is paddled on the road where the car is moving, and the car will turn over at high speed, and wait until the green ramp is deducted in the later stage, and then special effects are added, and the overturning shot is completed. However, Zhang Ran's shot is different, the car is not rolled over, but from back to front.

In pursuit of the truth of the effect. After discussing with the special effects team, Zhang Ran decided to come for real. Explosives were loaded into the rear of the car, and the explosives were detonated after the start of shooting. Create the effect of the explosion of the underbody device and the car turning forward.

Filming road scenes. In particular, when it comes to crash blasting, road closures are required, and applications need to be made to the government. It costs money to apply, it costs money to control traffic, it costs money to send the police to do traffic control, and it doesn't cost much. So in American dramas and blockbusters, many will start directly from the script and set the chase scenes in deserts, wilds, ports, abandoned industrial areas, and so on. Of course, it's okay for a rich crew to be capricious, and The Matrix 2 is in order to shoot a fight scene on the highway. A 1.5-mile highway was built.

The local government in Vancouver was quite supportive of Zhang Ran's filming work, and there were special personnel to coordinate the work. Therefore, Zhang Ran's crew is relatively large, with nearly 900 people, which will bring a lot of consumption, and more than one-third of the crew is hired from the local area, adding hundreds of jobs to the local area.

The crew's pyrotechnic special effects are in charge of the Jos Williams team, the Williams team is the special effects team responsible for saving Private Ryan and the Brothers, and Zhang Yimou also invited this team to shoot the Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling. Of course, in addition to the Williams team, there are also several pyrotechnicians who are highly colored by heaven, and these people are dug from Bayi Factory. They gave the Williams team a hand. Of course, learning is their most important task.

Zhang Ran once heard someone say that when the fireworks team of Bayi Factory was filming the assembly number, the fireworks team of Bayi Factory cooperated with the Korean team, but the Koreans were not allowed to watch it at the critical moment. With a little gunpowder, they will be blasted out, which is very petty. When filming the Jinling Thirteen Hairpins, the Williams team had no reservations at all, and the people of Bayi Factory learned a lot.

The process of filming an explosion scene is no different from the shooting of other scenes, and the first step is also positioning. The stuntman drove the car used for the shoot to the scene, a car with a very futuristic shape and a particularly cool look.

This is the future that the crew specially asked designers to design, and then asked related companies to make several car shells and put them on ordinary cars, so that a future car was born. In fact. Most of the crash scenes in Hollywood blockbusters are real crashes, and most of the cars are scrapped and modified cars with their bodies covered.

There must be a change in angle when shooting a car being blown away. Reflect the process from different angles, which can give the audience the strongest visual impact. Zhang Ran's idea was to first shoot the rear of the car from the side of the car, then shoot the car from the side of the car turning forward, and then take a shot of the car turning over towards the frame. In this way, the maximum Cheng dù can give the audience a visual impact.

Of course, it is impossible to shoot this kind of shot to blow up a car, although the crew prepared four cars as a precaution, but it is impossible to mess around, and it is the best choice to take multi-camera shooting. Shoot at the same time with a camera in the back, side, and front, and finally combine the three lenses together.

After the camera position was chosen, Zhang Ran patted Williams on the shoulder: "Jos, please"

Williams said confidently: "You sit in the director's chair and enjoy the fireworks show with peace of mind."

After about an hour of arrangement, the car was equipped with explosives, the cab was equipped with dummies, and then the personnel retreated to their respective positions. The first assistant director came over to tell Zhang Ran that it was time to officially shoot.

Zhang Ran prayed in his heart and shouted loudly: "Start"

The car slowly moves forward, and when the car reaches its predetermined position, Williams presses the detonator.

With a loud bang, a scarlet flame erupted at the rear of the car, accompanied by an earth-shattering loud noise, and the tail of the car rose into the air in the billowing smoke, and then the whole car flipped forward.

The car hit the ground on its back and slid forward for several meters like a turtle on the ground before stopping. The car's glass shattered and littered the floor.

Looking at the explosion and fire on the monitor, Zhang Ran's calm blood seemed to be boiling, it was too exciting, and he shouted loudly: "Stop"

The ready-made staff all took action, the firefighters took fire extinguishers and began to extinguish the fire, and the director team and the cinematographer came to DIT's digital workstation to check the effect of the shooting.

The front shots are okay, but the side and back aren't too good. Zhang Ran shook his head slightly, and prepared four cars for the filming of this drama, which can be refilmed.

Zhang Ran called Williams over, talked about his requirements, and talked about the problem of the explosion just now. Then he said, "Let's do it all over again."

Williams nodded, "There must be no problem this time." ”

Waiting for Williams to prepare for the explosion, Ding Sheng glanced at the car parked at the predetermined position, and said with some emotion: "A car is more than 100,000 US dollars." It's really exciting to blow it up like this."

Zhang Ran smiled: "Filming is the same as doing business, the more you invest, the more you earn." Visual things like explosions and speeding cars are common. American audiences, European audiences, and Chinese audiences also like it, and this kind of film market is big."

Ding Sheng looked at Zhang Ran and said, "Yes, everyone likes to watch Hollywood blockbusters." I used to think that there was a big gap between us and Hollywood, but now that I have participated in this movie, I know that the gap is bigger than I imagined. This time it was a real eye-opener."

Zhang Ran laughed when he heard Ding Sheng say this. I am not afraid of a big gap, but I am afraid of ignoring this gap

Ning Hao wants to shoot the heartbroken, and he can't be Zhang Ran's assistant director. Zhang Ran found the school and asked them to recommend students who were willing to make commercial films, and the school recommended Ding Sheng in the advanced class. Zhang Ran is more satisfied with Ding Sheng, in the previous life, Ding Sheng made many action movies, including tough guys and big soldiers, and was one of the few directors in China who could make genre films decent.

Zhang Ran believes that after his subtle influence, when Ding Sheng starts making movies, his level will definitely be higher than in his previous life. What Chinese films lack most is not money or technology, what they lack is directors who are willing to make genre films with peace of mind, and Zhang Ran is willing to bring a new director like Ding Sheng.

An hour later, the shoot was ready. The assistant director came over to tell Zhang Ran that it was time to shoot.

Shooting resumes.

With a loud bang, the car flipped upside down in the scarlet flames. Slipped out of the ground for a long time before stopping.

This time, the shots of the three cameras all achieved the desired effect, Zhang Ran stood up and shouted: "Okay, this shot has passed"

The shot of the explosion was very dangerous, and the crew members all had a string in their hearts. Now hearing this shot, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and then the whole scene burst into warm applause.

Zhang Ran let out a long breath and announced loudly: "This shot has passed, and the next shot is ready"

The next shot is the shot of Zhang Ziyi arresting Jason. She walked over to the car and picked up her helmet. Announce to Jason that you're under arrest.

This shot is the shot of the heroine's official appearance. She had been wearing a helmet before, and the audience knew that she was very good. But don't know who she is.

In fact, the scenes where the actors appear are particularly testing the director's skills, and the awesome director generally does not directly show the protagonist, and often makes some foreshadowing. After the protagonist appears, the character of the protagonist should be shown, and a good director is to show the character of the protagonist when narrating the plot. For example, Schindler's listWhen Schindler appeared, the director filmed the faces of the characters, but took special shots, opened drawers to withdraw money, suits, Nazi badges, etc., and the audience did not see Schindler's appearance until they entered the restaurant.

Zhang Ziyi played the role of the heroine Tong Guò before some car chase scenes, which has already shown the decisive characteristics of the character, and has been paved for it, and now the character has officially appeared.

The crew moved the car that had exploded, drove an intact car over, and then flipped it over and arranged it to look like the car had been blown over.

Soon filming began.

In the smoke, Zhang Ziyi walked to the side of the car, took off her helmet, and revealed a cold face: "Jason, you are arrested"

"Stop" Zhang Ran shouted, and then called up the camera of the movie to check.

Zhang Ziyi's face is really too photogenic, she doesn't pick the angle at all, how to shoot and how to have a problem, it is that her chest is flat. Charlize Theron said that action movie directors don't like to ask her to film because she has too small breasts and doesn't have that choppy feeling when she runs. Zhang Ziyi's question is even stricter than Theron's

This shot can be passed, but Zhang Ran decided to do it again, stood up and shouted: "Ziyi, change the way of acting, let's do another one"

The filming of the time and space warriors was carried out in an orderly manner, and Zhang Ran's energy was spent on the shooting, and every qiē was very smooth.

At the beginning of June, Zhang Ran suddenly received a call from a Japanese film company that the Burst Drummer was about to be released in Japan, and they hoped that Zhang Ran and the leading actors of the movie would go to Japan for promotion.

Zhang Ran didn't agree, now the space-time warriors are in the critical period of filming, where can they go. Even if Zhang Ran wanted to leave, the people from the insurance company would not agree, they kept staring at the filming process, hoping that the movie would be finished tomorrow. To be continued.
