In front of London's famous clock tower, there is a lot of people. Romance debuts

The film did not hold a press conference when the filming started, Chen Tiandu's original intention was to start the film quietly, just like "Juno". But it still drove the enthusiasm of the London paparazzi. Even if it is midnight now, the crew is full of reporters and onlookers outside the line.

Cage Dodge, the press officer of the crew and the production assistant for Paramount, held the microphone and tried to maintain order, but the guys who heard the news were still in a mess. simply let Kate and Johnny Depp, who have no roles, deal with the media. The matrix is just an independent production company, and it's really out of publicity, so it's a piece of.

This time, Shirley Lansing put all the treasure on Chen Tiandu, investing 60 million US dollars. This is definitely a big deal for Paramount, which is now strapped for money. If it weren't for the matrix to dominate, I believe she would have a bigger stroke. And Johnny Depp, since he accepted the audition invitation, there have been no surprises.

In the whole of Hollywood, he is the only one who can play this kind of godly role so well, and the two sides signed the contract very happily. And it's not a contract, in the next ten years, all the films with the theme of "Dracula" developed by the matrix, the role will be his, and the initiative is his. Unless he doesn't act, you can't find someone else, no matter how valuable he is at the time. This is the result of negotiations between the two sides, and it can be regarded as the matrix's compensation for Johnny.

Although the conditions were a bit harsh, Chen Tiandu was very satisfied. I believe that Johnny playing the role of Dracula will add a lot of color to the film.

"Clear!"

Looking at his watch, he said to Hugh Jackman, who had already put on his makeup, "We don't have much time, try to get it done tonight." I'm sure there will be more young Londoners watching if it stays until tomorrow night. Hugh Jackman was adjusting, a cool outfit hanging from his body, a leather glove pinching his thumb out, motioning to look at him.

Chen Tiandu smiled and nodded to the scene to start shooting.

He returned to the back of the monitor. The machine lights on red, and the scene is quiet.

Van Helsing, who is wanted by the London police, enters the city of London late at night and finds the giant hiding in the clock tower according to clues. The actor who plays this giant. The whole body is covered with sensor patches, and even the face is not exposed. Obviously, it is necessary to do special effects processing in post-production. After playing such a play in Pirates of the Caribbean, he became more and more proficient in this form of expression.

Although he is burly and powerful, he does not have the weakness of a giant in the eyes of ordinary people. This giant moves fast. He can also turn his head flexibly, with a funny expression, and a chatterbox, and the left and right sides of his lips are beards that stand up like needles. They were going to fight a big battle in the bell tower, taking advantage of the moonlight, from the top of the bell tower to the downstairs.

The literary drama passed quickly, and the rest of the martial arts drama could only be slowly pushed forward in the tedious cuts over and over again, second by second. Chen Tiandu also knows that it is unrealistic to solve this tedious battle in one night, and he can only try to shoot as much as possible on the premise of ensuring quality.

I had to rent the London Clock Tower for filming. It's not just about paying bills. Because under the bell tower is a church. When the application for filming was made to the City of London, there were already people who expressed dissatisfaction with the opening of churches to shoot vampire-themed films in them. He was really worried that it would take a long time, lest something change.

The huge iron bell was lifted by the giant, and with a "bang" it detained Van Helsing in it. The giant laughed, his body trembling.

“cut！” Chen Tiandu hurriedly shouted to stop, and then said directly, "It's over." ”

The nearby staff who were waiting for him hurriedly swarmed up, and used pulleys to re-hoist the huge bell, releasing Hugh Jackman, who was holding some pale faces below.

The shooting went well, but there was no break in between. Even if Hugh Jackman is physically strong. His face was a little pale, but he didn't say anything.

"Ten minutes of rest." Chen Tiandu shouted, and many people breathed a sigh of relief. He personally brought over a cup of coffee and handed it to Hugh Jackman, "Man. Can you still hold on? ”

Hugh Jackman took the coffee and thanked him, "It's okay to take a break." I stored a winter's fat, which is just right now. Chen Tiandu smiled, patted him on the shoulder and said, "The body is important, I can't finish shooting today." ”

It's still a bitter winter. The weather in London is not warm. Recently, the temperature has changed rapidly, and it will snow when it is cold.

"What are you thinking, you can get distracted." Another cup of hot coffee was handed over to him, which Kate had brought to him. Johnny Depp, who had been watching for a while just now, went back to the hotel early to rest.

"Thanks, I'm worried it's going to snow." He expressed concern and shouted at Cage-Dodge, "Hey, Cage, what does the weather forecast say." ”

"The London weather forecast reports no snow in the next few days...... Cage responded. But as he was talking, there was a commotion outside. "What's going on, what's going on?" Everyone was shocked, for fear that something unexpected would happen.

Chen Tiandu was calm and listened carefully. I only heard the staff outside shouting, "It's snowing, it's snowing." ”

"Oh, F-UC-K!" Cage scolded indignantly, "The weather forecast for this shit." Kate laughed and said, "I believe they will have ghosts." Otherwise, Londoners wouldn't talk about the weather and shut up about the weather."

Cage didn't care about the habits of Londoners, and asked Chen Tiandu worriedly: "What should I do now, is the location scene still filmed?" ”

Chen Tiandu pondered, "Shoot, it's just a different way." I'd like to see a lot of snow tonight, and better tomorrow than a snowy one. Bring a camera. He personally picked up the camera and ran out to shoot a lot of scenes of the snow while the actors were resting.

……

It took three days to shoot the entire bell tower scene, and then it was collectively transferred to Romania.

Van Helsing's wanted warrant in London has been added to the list, despite being a monster hunter belonging to the Knights of the Holy Order. At this moment, he was assigned a new assignment, riding a tall horse, a wide-brimmed hat, and carrying a shotgun. Walking in the dark snow, from time to time I took out the wine bottle from my arms and took a sip of the cherished sketch.

"Aggressive ......"

Horses stamped on the stone pavement, surrounded by snowflakes.

Looking at the wild black pressure in the distance, one step over the peak, there is a silvery white world in front of you.

The high mountains are covered with snow, the wind is cold, and the place under your feet is a forest. The surrounding area is empty and quiet, and looking back, London has long since disappeared for a long time.

……

The art style of the whole film adheres to the aesthetic art style of dark gothic from beginning to end.

Van Helsing, a character who is both powerful and romantic. As the filming progressed, Jackman became a complete Van Helsing incarnation. This also made Peike admire Chen Tiandu's vision. Indeed, Jackman, who had just finished filming Wolverine at this time, had not forgotten the Broadway musical he loved, which just fit this unique temperament. He himself was very satisfied with the role of Van Helsing, and told reporters more than once: "It is a rare opportunity to be part of this film, because it was my childhood dream to shoot this kind of grandiose, poetic action thriller." ”

Of course, he didn't live up to his dreams.

The first ten minutes of the film belonged to Van Helsing, and now, finally waiting for Chen Tiandu's beloved, the stunning Anna, to appear.

Not only does Anna have to have a strong heart, but she also has to be funny, sexy, strong, and have a gentle side. These are completely consistent with Kate Beckinsale, only Kate knows that when Chen Tiandu wrote the script, she put forward a lot of opinions on the side.

Having filmed the cool Trinity in "The Matrix" and the tender female doctor in "Pearl Harbor", Kate has become more and more confident in the role she wants to play.

In the 19th century, deep in the mountains of western Romania, there was a mysterious town full of legends, Transylvania. Legend has it that it is a world where right and wrong are reversed. Whenever the sun sets, when evil spreads, demons run out of the deepest part of the nightmare......

There are stupid sheep's head monsters, scarecrows who guard the door, and the "Axe Gang" dwarf demon clan, and naturally werewolves are indispensable.

Count Dracula is the ruler of the town, wielding devastating temptations, enigmatic powers, and a large number of men, including his three vampire brides. The sheepshead and the scarecrow in the mountains are all his magical creations, and he is trying to challenge God's authority simply because he and his vampire brides want a child.

Monster Hunter Van Helsing was commissioned by the Catholic Church to travel to Transylvania to eliminate Count Dracula and fight to the death with Count Dracula......

Thanks to this winter, it snowed almost all the way from London to Romania.

Let the movie shoot a lot of dreamy pictures that I dreamed of.

As the photographer is Chen Tiandu's royal partner Aiman, who exclaimed excitedly when he saw this kind of picture, "It's amazing, the beauty is amazing, I think I'm going to win the second Oscar." ”

Art director Angolari kept pouring cold water: "It's not gothic, I bet all these beautiful shots will be darkened in the end." Ayman, you'd better find your center of gravity. "Shet, what a waste." Aiman's face was full of resentment, and he encouraged Kate, who was standing in the snow over there, and said, "Kate, do you want to take a few art photos, look here." ”

Kate smiled and walked over generously. Put a few heroic poss in the snow. looked at everyone in the crew straight, and suspected that it was Trinity, who was so cool that he had no friends in the country of "The Matrix", who traveled to Romania. But now Kate clearly has big brown curly hair, although it is also a leather coat, it is Western style. He also wore a fiery red leather vest on his shoulders.

Chen Tiandu was also watching from the side, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and said to Hugh Jackman: "Hugh, you can also take a few pictures, maybe you can use them." ”

Hugh Jackman shrugged and walked over to discuss POSS with Kate. Aiman was even more energetic, and simply put down the camera and picked up the camera to take a photo album. (To be continued.) )xh118
