Chapter 552: Journey to the Divine Outdoors (Part II)
"The fortifier hangs up!"
With Nishijoichiro, played by Sata Hongo, a shout with fear kicked off this fight scene!
"Help me!"
Looking at the Tanaka Hoshito, who was very similar to the robot, he was beaten up wildly, and Ichiro Nishi, who was about to be killed, Katsu Kato, who was standing on the vent of the parking lot, didn't spend too much time thinking, and jumped down under the surprised eyes of Genno Ji and Megumi Kishimoto and others!
Bang!
Katsu Kato, who landed on the top of the car, immediately hugged Tanaka Xingren, who was about to spray a shockwave.
Under his influence, the shock wave of Tanaka did not directly hit the half-dead Nishijoichiro, but hit the roof of the car.
It was precisely because of the impact of this blow that Katsu Kato, who was holding Tanaka Xingren, flew backwards.
However, even so, Katsu Kato did not let go of the hands that were holding Hoshito Tanaka tightly.
The camera showed Katsu Kato and Hoshito Tanaka who fell to the ground, and at this time, Shinsuke Sato shouted and stopped shooting.
“CUT!”
"This is over!"
With this shout, Tanaka Xingren, who was still struggling wildly, and Katsu Kato, who tried his best to imprison it, all stopped as if they had received orders.
"Are you alright?"
Kenichi Matsuyama helped Tanaka up from the ground and asked with concern.
"It's okay, thank you. ”
And Tanaka Xingren, who looked like a robot, also replied angrily.
It is said that it is aliens, but not all aliens in the film are made with CG special effects.
Tanaka Hoshito, who is most easily regarded as a robot, actually has actors who get into the shell of the robot and act.
Not only Tanaka Xingren, but also the father and son of the Onion Star Man who appeared in the previous part, Tanaka Xingren, the Nioh statue in the Buddha Statue Star Man, the Thousand Armed Kannon, and the Great Buddha are not completely completed with CG.
In order to look more realistic, the crew specially used special makeup, as well as the combination of modeling and CG for shooting.
The actor who played the father and son of the onion star man alone spent 3 hours applying special makeup, and then processing it with CG to show the onion star man in the original work.
Speaking of which, the filming progress of "Killing City" is not very fast, at least it is much slower than when Kiyoshi Sakamoto was filming "Hot Blood High School" and "Death Note".
On the one hand, compared with the two movies "Hot Blood" and "Death", the action scenes of "Killing City" and the CG special effects scene shooting occupy a large part of the entire movie, which makes it relatively difficult to shoot.
On the other hand, it is because of the experience of supervision.
Shinsuke Sato, who was born in 79, is only 30 years old this year, and can be described as an eye-catching newcomer in the film supervision industry.
However, although he has directed several films before, this is the fifth film he has directed.
Moreover, it is the first time he has directed such a big-budget sci-fi action movie!
Therefore, in terms of experience, it is still relatively lacking.
Not to mention the comparison with Shusuke Kaneko, two experienced veteran overseers of Takashi Miike...
Therefore, the slow progress of filming is understandable.
Anyway, Nikko and NTV have long been prepared for long-term shooting, giving Shinsuke Sato enough trust.
And Shinsuke Sato is not an idle person, after the early run-in period, he gradually played his due level, let the crew and others know why he is only 30 years old and has become a new star in the film supervision industry.
Especially in CG special effects shooting, he has his own unique views, which makes Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who sometimes stays behind him to study, also admires.
That's right, this time, Kiyoshi Sakamoto, just like when he was in "Hot Blooded High School", came to Shinsuke Sato's side from time to time to observe how he shot the camera and built the picture.
As for Sakamoto Kiyoshi's move, although Shinsuke Sato was a little uncomfortable, he still went with him.
After all, Kiyoshi Sakamoto is not only the core of the entire "Killing City", but also a Japanese giant group, a shareholder of Sony, and a big figure in the entertainment industry.
It's not that he's a little film director who can afford to mess with.
He even thought that if he had to choose one between Nikko and NTV between him and Kiyoshi Sakamoto, he would definitely be 100% abandoned.
Without him, it's just because, his importance is not as good as Sakamoto Kiyoshi...
However, what makes him feel relieved is that Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who is such a big name, has never played a big name since he entered the crew, and his shooting attitude is very dedicated.
It made his fragile mind a little better.
。。。
After a short break, the crew continued to shoot.
In the fight with Tanaka Xingren, the role of "Genno Ji" played by Kiyoshi Sakamoto is mainly cowardly and then fierce.
was first pressed on the car cover by Tanaka Xingren and beat him wildly, and then the small universe exploded, turned around and punched Tanaka Xingren completely!
Then, the situation changed, and it turned into a "Genno plan" to press Tanaka Xingren to the car and ravage it.
In the end, it was Genno Ji who took the lead, picked up the X-GUN, shot Tanaka in the face, and said a line very forcefully, ending the shooting of this scene.
Although it is easy to say, it is extremely slow to shoot.
In the process of shooting, some small mistakes will cause Shinsuke Sato to say "CUT!"
After shouting to stop, Shinsuke Sato immediately ran from behind the monitor to the actors, dancing to tell Sakamoto Kiyoshi and others.
Such a scene has never appeared in the previous literary drama filming.
When filming literary dramas before, he always sat firmly behind the monitor and tried to let the actors show their acting skills.
This just shows that compared to the literary drama that tests the acting skills of the actors more, Shinsuke Sato, as the director, pays more attention to action scenes that don't require too much acting skills...
In the final analysis, this is a sci-fi action movie, and the cool action scenes are a great weapon to attract audiences into the theater, and it is also one of the core highlights of this movie.
However, the more action shots, the greater the chances of a problem.
If you can't do it all at once, it will take a certain amount of time for the scene to recover.
In addition, this ten-minute fight scene was filmed in the underground parking lot at night.
In other words, filming can only take place at night, which adds to the difficulty of filming this scene.
At around eight o'clock in the evening, after nightfall, the crew started filming and continued to shoot until two or three o'clock in the morning.
Such a shooting time also made Sakamoto Kiyoshi and others miserable.
However, what made them feel fortunate was that the hotel where the crew was located was not far from the set.
It also allows them to return to the hotel as soon as they finish work.
Take a hot bath, lie down on the big soft bed, and get a good night's sleep...
