Chapter 400: Nomination (2nd Update)
At this time, both sides of a private bank on the streets of Chicago have been temporarily closed, and a street scene is being filmed.
There seems to be a life-and-death atmosphere in the bank, and several men wearing all kinds of clown masks want the bank to rob unscrupulously, simply and neatly, and then kill each other. Hu Yifei walked away several times, at first he was walking in a hurry, and after watching the playback, he couldn't help shaking his head. Then sneakily look around, and then go again. Calm and calm, tense rhythm...... I don't feel good, he's not low. There will be a kind of momentum invisibly when he walks, which will give him many more variables to play this role. It's not that acting like this is not good, it is no problem in the eyes of outsiders, but Hu Yifei himself knows that these postures are not good enough.
In his previous life, in order to shoot the role of the Joker, Heath Ledger locked himself in a hotel for a month, carefully studied the Joker's mentality, and completed the sinking of himself into the role of the Joker. Of course, there will be a lot of false propaganda, and there will be more praise after the death of Heath, and more promotional manuscripts for the film.
Hu Yi flew into this line of work, and only then did he know how a person who couldn't leave his hands could lock himself up for a month so intently. But Heath does have a deep self-study of the Joker. Hu Yifei may still have a gap in acting skills, but he has a plug-in, and he has been in this world from beginning to end, he has been in contact with this role the most, so he should have a deeper understanding of the clown.
Before the camera was turned on, he was wearing a clown mask and had been walking back and forth around the scene for a long time.
The crew looked strangely at him walking around with a mask, but no one disturbed him, until one time Hu Yifei seemed to be tired of walking, and his back was slightly rickety. After walking back and forth again, his heart suddenly burst out, he had a feeling, and immediately shouted: "Ready to shoot." β
In the process, the mask does not leave the face.
βActionοΌβ
A long shot slowly stretches to the glass wall of a skyscraper, and suddenly the glass shatters from the inside out, revealing two clown masks who are committing crimes. Shoot a cableway gun and fly from one building to the roof of another to get started.
The camera is focused on a brown-green long-haired man with a backpack at the bus shelter at a street intersection, to be precise, the silver-white clown mask with a serious face in his hand. A car was speeding up, he didn't hesitate to put on his mask and get into the car, and when he entered the car, he began to adjust his firearms: "Three stinkers, start working~"
"And that's what it begins? Just the three of us? β
"There are two more on the roof, each person has a share, five is not a decimal ......" "Six parts, don't forget the planner." "He's a good guy, he has a little idea, it's like sitting and eating for nothing." ...... "I know why everyone clowns him, and I've heard that he likes to wear makeup. "Makeup?" "Yes, it is used to scare people, such as war makeup, oil paint that is applied to the face before the battle." β¦β¦
A series of small stories are quickly filmed, and the three stinkers rush into the bank.
One shot was fired into the air, and the whole bank was in chaos. Noisy and shouting, a few clowns still do the whole process of robbing money. And then one after another shot his own accomplices, but the story certainly won't be so easy......
ββ¦β¦ That's a lot of money, and if that clown kid is smart enough, he should let us drive a bigger car. The clown with the sky-high hairstyle who came out with the money pulled the bolt of the gun and pointed at the clown Hu Yifei, "I dare to say, the clown has confessed, once the money is loaded, you will be asked to kill me." β
Hu Yifei glanced at him, but looked at his watch, "No, no, no, I'm going to kill the bus driver." β
He tilted his neck strangely and moved two steps, and his whole temperament suddenly seemed different. A bus crashes through the wall and rushes in, killing the last clown.
"You think you're smart? The people who paid to hire you... will make you end up like them. The bad guys in the past were very principled. Glory, respect, look at you, what principles can you speak? β
Hu Yifei crooked his neck, bent his back, stared at the security guard who was shot on the ground, walked over, and stuffed a grenade with the bracelet open into his mouth, "My principle is that what can't kill you will make you ......" He unbuttoned the clown mask, revealing an even uglier face with clown makeup inside, and in the eyes of the security guard's wide eyes, he grinned and said, "It's even weirder!" β
Get in the car and drive the bus into a fleet of passing school buses. Staggered by, it was the police cars that came late.

At the end of the day's filming, there was a round of applause.
Since Hollywood had movies, there have been not 1,000 but 800 bank robbers, and most of them are the same. Even Hu Yifei himself staged a bank robbery scene in his TV series "Prison Break", but this part of the bank robbery scene, even if it is watched by a picky person, his eyes will light up, because it is different and different.
The shooting is also very crisp and neat. Although you can't see much acting skills with a mask, from beginning to end, there is very little NG. And this clown...... It gives people a very weird feeling, especially when he uncovers the mask and grins, who would have thought that there is a clown face cut out by a knife under the mask, which is really creepy.
Hu Yifei smiled and walked back with a sigh of relief.
It's just that because the makeup on his face has not been removed, he smiled, and suddenly made the face of the assistant director Reggie, who came over, stiffen, and the people around him did not dare to approach.
"Prepare for tonight's night play, this is the first battle, don't make a mistake."
"Understood." Reggie nodded and went to prepare.
The shooting kept advancing, and ......the guns of the two Gatling machine guns rotated at high speed, the muzzles sprayed a slight tongue of fire, and the empty cartridge casings were scattered on the ground one by one, making a crisp tinkling sound.
Several film cameras are also running at high speed, shooting different shots in different positions, the same is that the film crew next to the camera is all serious and focused, Varay Pfister shoots the frontal shot in a shoulder-carrying way, swaying slightly to advance the camera according to Hu Yifei's previous design, and finally stops at the close-up of Batman's face, only to see his face cold, keep moving fast, and take down one criminal after another in the parking lot.
This is the first fight scene of Bruce Wayne since filming these days.
Three Batman doubles of comparable size were used, all of whom were proficient in Israeli fighting machines.
It is inevitable that there will be a lot of tossing in the shooting of action scenes, and many shots must be continuously integrated and slowly cut. For example, when Batman took down a criminal on a motorcycle, the whole motorcycle changed lanes, and the other person rotated 180 degrees on the motorcycle, doing a standard gymnastic Thomas giant slalom, and at the same time, the motorcycle was also pulled under his gravitational inertia, reversed direction, and continued to speed away.
The whole shot in the movie, a slow-motion camera will be used to show the swiftness of this action. Maybe it's only 1.5 seconds, but it will make people's eyes light up.
But the shot wasn't easy, from starting the motorcycle, advancing to a close-up of Bell, to the action actor completing the stunt. The sound recorder, lighting engineer and others behind Pfister are all working, and Hu Yifei is holding a white microphone, paying attention to the situation of the whole picture, waiting to complete the whole picture.
After taking the film, Hu Yifei felt good.
Charles Rowan came behind him at some point and couldn't help but say, "It's great, it's definitely the first action scene." β
"Thank you." Hu Yifei said: "If you add some slow-motion special effects and tense background music, the effect will be better." β
In this scene, he admitted that he copied the scene of the Winter Soldier riding a motorcycle in "American Team 3", which was used by Batman, and the cloak behind his back was flicked, and the whole person was slender, which was simply handsome.
β¦β¦
The night is dark, and the lights are on.
In the spacious living room of the presidential suite on the top floor of the hotel, the TV is on, and a coffee table with several telecommunications and delicious dishes is placed under the fluorescent lamp.
A few guests were sitting in the living room, smiling and watching TV.
It's rare to relax today, Hu Yifei let the crew rest early, just for tonight's TV show.
Compared with others talking about movies, Hu Yifei is much more casual, writing and drawing on a scripted shot with one hand, eating with the other, and shooting his gaze to the TV from time to time.
ββ¦β¦ The Best Director nominees at the 79th Academy Awards in 2007 are, "Inception" Hu Yifei ......"
On TV, the ABC television station in the United States is holding the Oscar nomination announcement ceremony at the moment.
"Wow, another nomination, congratulations Galen." Everyone congratulated one after another.
Hu Yifei smiled, "Thank you." (To be continued.) )
