After several days of careful preparation, the crash scene is about to start filming. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The entire crew of the base has been mobilized, and this kind of moment is the most challenging task to measure a director's overall organization ability, ensuring safety and capturing the perfect shot of the crash moment.

Li Wei was standing on the filming stage at the moment, holding a megaphone to mobilize the various arrangements of the film crew.

"Andrew, the number seven is too low, raise the boom another five feet!"

"There is also the No. 2 shooting car, which must be no less than ten yards away from the rails, and after the train starts, its speed must be synchronized with the train!"

Outside the long railroad tracks, 14 cameras were set up along the road, some buried in the ground, some fixed to aerial booms, and after the collision of the trains, they had to pass through a small bridge, and machines were also installed in the river below the bridge to capture the footage of the bridge.

It is easier to shoot a fixed shot, but it is more difficult to shoot a moving shot, when the train derails, the connecting gates of the two carriages will be disconnected, this picture Li Wei needs to be filmed, and the shooting car is to catch this shot.

Waiting for the camera to be adjusted, chief photographer Andrew. Risney gave Li Wei a thumbs up, "Get ready to take your seat!" ”

At the end of the tracks, a broken prop bus is lying on its back.

A few days ago, the bus overturned and was filmed, and at this time it was put on the track as a prop, and the special effects team quickly left the scene, and when they arrived at a safe location, they shouted at Li Wei, "Boss, we are also ready to OK!" ”

"The lights are on!"

With Li Wei's order, all the lights in the base were extinguished, and only the searchlights near the track flashed one by one.

This is a night scene, and the lighting arrangement requirements are strict, but the lighting engineers of the crew are all experienced old people, and they quickly completed Li Wei's shooting requirements.

The creators of the movie all gathered around Li Wei at this time, staring at the train in the distance.

Special Effects Supervisor Ben. Snow couldn't hide the nervousness on his face, his preparation was foolproof, but he was not absolutely sure whether the actual shooting would encounter problems, and he began to pray silently in his heart.

Li Wei suddenly looked back at him and said, "Ben, there are two important scenes in this scene, one is that I just jumped out of the bus and the train crashed into the bus, and the other is that a broken carriage will chase after my ass, and I want to run away with my life, what are you going to do with these two details!" ”

"CGI compositing is a must!" Root. Snow returned to his professional state, "Lee, when the train rolls over, no one can get close to it within ten yards, the danger is too great, we only shoot the scene of the train crashing, and all the scenes involving the actors are solved with technology, this is the best plan!" ”

In fact, Li Wei and Ben earlier. Snow has discussed this matter, but his intention is still in publicity, "In post-production, I need posters of these two shots, especially the picture of the carriage chasing me, you have to show the realism of the carriage, so that it can be shocking!" ”

After speaking, Li Wei checked the preparation of each team again, and after confirming that it was correct, he picked up the walkie-talkie. Finch is currently at the train departure location, where a camera team is in charge of the first act of the start-up.

"David, all departments are ready to go, and the train is ready to start!"

It is a driverless train with staff dedicated to computer operation.

David. Finch pointed the camera at the locomotive and shouted, "Ready to start, 10,9,8......"

"Woo!" The whistle began to sound.

The train officially starts, and the front of the train is equipped with a dazzling illuminating light, which gets closer and closer as the speed of the train increases.

"Boom!"

The front of the car slammed into the bus on the tracks at 35 miles per hour, and the wheels burst into a narrow and dense flame.

The front of the car pushed the bus to continue to move forward, more than ten seconds passed, the connecting gate at the front of the car suddenly disconnected, the back of the car began to lose control, the wheels suddenly detached from the track, the body shook violently, and plunged into the dirt outside the track.

Suddenly, the dust soared into the air, and the carriage behind it crashed into it.

The loud roar sounded like an artillery field shooting a target, and it instantly spread throughout the entire base.

The cameras arranged in the four directions had already been set up and began to capture all the footage of the train rolling on its side.

From the front of the car hitting the bus, the car crashing off the tracks, to the explosion after the collision, every detail was recorded on camera.

When the runaway train fell silent, the dust finally dispersed, the whole base was silent, the people present witnessed a man-made car accident, they were somewhat frightened, the impact force of the carriage was too terrible, a section of the carriage at the end of the car was thrown up directly, the moment it fell to the ground, the back fell to the other section of the carriage, the iron body was instantly deformed and twisted, if there were passengers in the carriage, it must have died miserably.

God, thankfully it's just a movie.

“cut！”

With Li Wei's shout, the main creators around him began to applaud their palms, the scene of the crash was perfect, the scene had exceeded their expectations, and after a while, the entire base resounded with warm applause.

Root. Snow's hanging heart could finally be put down, he walked quickly to Li Wei, and said with a smile: "Li, my task is complete, I hope you are satisfied!" ”

"It's only partially done!" Li Wei was not as relaxed as him, "Then there is Dirk Dam, Ben, your team will continue to use their talents, and when this movie is released, I will let that scene shock the audience's jaws!" ”

After chatting for a while, Li Wei announced that he would call it a day, and he finally instructed the producer, Stephen. Brown: "Organize security to cordon off the scene immediately, start filming the judge's investigation tomorrow, and don't let anyone near the train wreck!" ”

The next two days of filming were with Tom. Hanks is concerned, and when Li Wei completely completed the scene of the base and was about to transfer to the Dirk Dam, a phone call suddenly reached the base.

Bowei Vice President Nina. Yabson has been troubled lately, she is working on PR for "Hurricane Rescue", but the work is not going well, her boss is unwilling to invest too much, her publicity plan is not being carried out, and she is worried that this PR will end miserably.

"Lee, I want you to go back to Los Angeles for a few days, this kind of moment when you need to be on TV, Mr. Schwarzenegger from "Terminator 2" is on the show almost every day, Susan from "Flowers of the End". Sarandon even asked the mayor of Los Angeles to help her promote the film, and they've left you far behind! ”

Li Wei could feel her eagerness, but every day of delay by the crew was a big expense, and he had no intention of leaving, so he said: "They can promote it as they like, as long as they don't attack me!" ”

"The point is that they're besieging you!" Nina. Yabson is worried about the current situation, "They are turning your old bottom up, so as to make the college judges disgusted with you, the company's resources are basically invested in "Beauty and the Beast", and I alone say good things for you in the newspaper, and I basically can't see the effect!" ”

Hanging up the phone, Li Wei told his agent Tracy about the incident, and then asked her: "If I was injured while filming a dam jump, will this news distract them from the attack?" ”

"It has to be a video screen, and it can be shown on TV!" Tracy's eyes lit up, and he added: "The main thing is authenticity, not letting the public see that you are acting, so that it will definitely cause public sympathy, this idea is great, Will, I believe this news will help you win this Oscar PR!" ”
