Fa Ge also has a thrilling action scene to participate in, a thrilling chase on the roof of a highway car and a battle with the twins. Although he is not as skilled as Morpheus, he can also become a weapons expert, and when the heavy machine gun is erected, it is a fierce mess.

"Brother Fa, this character is a little crazy and weird in terms of personality setting, what do you think?" Chen Tiandu discussed with Fa Ge.

"Not bad." Zhou Yunfa nodded, "This also seems more individual, it is best to have a signature small action habit, which is more distinct and does not take up space." ”

Chen Tiandu's eyes lit up, and he encouraged: "How about you say that this weird keysmith likes to eat chocolate?" ”

Zhou Yunfa raised his eyebrows, pointed his finger at him and said with a smile: "What are you doing, I'm not afraid that domestic people will think of "God of Gamblers". ”

Chen Tiandu said righteously: "That can't be helped, just pay tribute to the classics." I don't think director Wang Jing will mind. ”

Zhou Yunfa laughed, "He can't wait for it." In short, you are the director, you can talk about things. ”

Chen Tiandu nodded and said, "That's it, after changing the script, you can think about it again." ”

This is the only treatment for the whole crew, if you want to talk about big names, Zhou Yunfa is really not much of a big deal among Hugo Weaving, Lawrence, Monica and others. But this treatment is the envy of everyone. He also knew that he would be low-key, otherwise it would cause public outrage, and how would he mix in the crew in the future, so he didn't ask for anything.

"Filming has officially begun!"

This is the ultimate test of stunt choreography, because all scenes have to be filmed in real time, and if the number is not accurately derived, there is a possibility of tragic casualties among the special effects personnel.

Of course. It is impossible for Chen Tiandu to replicate the car chase scene that doesn't seem to be too popular. And he has experienced the baptism of "Fast and Passion" for a few months. is even more handy at driving car chase scenes, and he can command and receive them freely.

The so-called "previs visual" system to choreograph the most complex car chase scene in history, in short, is now a computer that simulates scenes, camera positions, camera angles, etc., and calculates to obtain shooting effects and processes.

Under the leadership of Michael, designers and engineers have been preparing according to Chen Tiandu's requirements a year in advance, using a three-dimensional model to determine the trajectory of the motor vehicle. As well as the direction of movement during collisions and explosions, the speed at which each car should be exerted in this scene is accurate to every mile/hour, and the detailed operation process is also developed for the stunt driver, so that the shooting goes exactly as planned, and there is no trace of choreography.

In this way, an adrenaline-pumping car chase scene with no traces of "design" at all is perfectly choreographed.

"Attention units, ready to start filming. Ready-action！ ”

In the corridor of the garage in the corner of the building, a luxury sports car leaped out. In the driver's seat, Morpheus is dressed in black with sunglasses tucked between the bridge of his nose. Still in full stance, Trinity was cut on the arm with a scalpel. A clear knife mark is revealed.

"Switchboard, get us out of here."

"That's not easy...... "I know, we're in the core network area."

"Yes, sir, the nearest exit is at the Brooklyn Bridge." "Okay, we'll be right there......"

"cut~" Chen Tiandu suddenly shouted to stop, and the shooting was terminated.

He walked over and explained: "Lawrence, I want to change this scene, you don't talk well while driving, change Kate to drive, you sit in the passenger seat." Also, Kate, a little more expression, about psychological expressions like pain, you don't need to be too much, just a little bit of expression. ”

Kate nodded, indicating that she understood, and Chen Tiandu continued: "In the first film, we filmed too coldly, and the next two films have more expressions, making the audience look more angry and more like a person." Also, Lawrence, this scene of driving and talking is not cool enough, try to speed up the conversation, and we'll intersperse it with quick cuts. And there is a pause in the middle of your speech, did you forget the lines, what's going on? ”

Lawrence waved his hand and said, "No, I'm just a little awkward about the Eiffel Tower and the Brooklyn Bridge." ”

Chen Tiandu suddenly said: "If you want to open a little buddy, the core network area in the matrix world naturally can't really move into France like reality." Not only will the Eiffel Tower, the Brooklyn Bridge in New York appear, but even the Statue of the Goddess in New York and the London Eye will move in. Let's do it all over again and try to shoot more shots today, OK? ”

After Lawrence nodded, Chen Tiandu immediately walked away busily.

The car was reversed by the props team again, ready to start again.

Lawrence and Kate looked at each other helplessly, "Your boyfriend is getting more and more picky, we are a drag racing scene at the beginning, he still thinks the pace is not fast enough, how fast should it be?" ”

Kate comforted him and smiled, "Maybe I just finished making a racing movie, I don't know how fast-paced that movie is." Anyway, you get used to it, I'm not being trained the same way. ”

"I'm not like you, you can have a smile on your face when you are trained."

"Whoever smiled, I've always had this expression." Kate didn't admit it, and Lawrence was dumbfounded.

The Twin Stars (The-Evil-Twins), Nell Raymond and Adrian Raymond, Merovin's bodyguards.

The two are similar in appearance and resemble ghosts, and are one of the very scary new characters in this episode. They had a peculiar appearance, looking like albinos, with horrific dreadlocks and surprisingly long heels. They are the product of a terrible computer virus, and for Trinity and the others, the most terrifying thing about them is not their looks, but their superhuman abilities.

Just as viruses on computers in our usual sense are very destructive, the computer people transformed by computer viruses are also very powerful and destructive.

They can have changeable powers like computer people like Agent Smith, and can even turn into ghostly ghosts. They have the ability to punch and kick through walls, and they are also able to pass directly through walls and other barriers. As bodyguards, their performances are very cold and evil, with few lines. It's just that Chen Tiandu often asks them to show an "evil" smile expression. Make it a little difficult for them. Because their mouths were almost crooked when they looked in the mirror, fortunately Chen Tiandu finally nodded, otherwise they would say goodbye to this character.

This time for the reshoot, Chen Tiandu made some adjustments to the lens, "Aiman, I need a lens, aimed at the garage corridor." The feeling of seeing a little light from the darkness and then roaring into the shot. Got it? ”

“Yes！ No problem"

When picking up girls, this old man was very obscene, but when it came to really getting things done, he was the most reassuring one.

In the long corridor of the garage, in front of Kate and the others is the door at the end of the corridor, a little light, like a door of hope, where the film crew shoots the frontal shot.

In front, Emmanuel carries the camera on his shoulder, and the recording engineer next to him holds a microphone pole. There are also lighting artists, Michael from the special effects team, and others wearing light jackets. Chen Tiandu holding the director's viewfinder in his hand.

"Guys."

Chen Tiandu aimed at the viewfinder with one eye closed, and while checking this lens as a boot, he asked with a smile, "Are you all ready?" ”

Lawrence over there gave a thumbs up and signaled to himself OK. Chen Tiandu smiled, he was a little excited again, every time he turned on the machine, it was like this, the same freshness, the same excitement, like a woman going to bed. Now we are about to start a new directing journey, with more cool action, speeding, explosions, gunfights, and ...... There are also planes, spaceships...... These shots are all new experiences.

I saw the field note knocked down the electronic field board" The first set of shots is the second time. ”

Chen Tiandu suddenly felt a surge of energy pouring in, and the door to another world opened, and he shouted loudly, "Action!" ”

With an action, the film crew immediately entered the working state, and the car started quickly and rushed out.

When shooting started again, the pace of the camera was noticeably faster. Lawrence almost finished his lines in the middle of the machine gun fire from the Gemini in the back, and the camera mostly uses the first vision, and it is also very visually destructive when driving and drifting quickly. It is almost in the same vein as the cool drag racing scene in "Fast and Passion", using streamers and other techniques.

The rest, the highlight point, is to watch the performance of the "supermen".

Aiman, who was carrying the camera, made an OK gesture, and Chen Tiandu finished watching the picture, laughing and shouting loudly: "Cut is very good, it's over!" ”

Everyone cheered happily, although it was not a big scene, but it meant that the first shot was only shot twice and passed the level.

"A good start!"

"Prepare for the next shot."

Chen Tiandu smiled and clapped his hands, and then the applause immediately took action again, moving the props one after another. Michael walked over at this time and said, "No problem, the car leap and glass blasting just now are no problem." ”

"Good." Chen Tiandu smiled, "Strive to complete some more special effects shots today, it's enough for you to do." "The special effects for the sequel to The Matrix will be done in parallel with the shooting, because it was shot with a digital camera, which is more convenient to handle. Even the fact that it is not necessary to transport piles of film every day also brings a lot of convenience to the production of special effects for films.

These footage materials will be sent to the headquarters of more than five top special effects companies to complete post-processing, and Matrix Special Effects Studio is just one of them, this time it has joined the light and magic and digital fields, and it is also the world's top in terms of special effects lineup.

The special effects used in The Matrix 2 are now scheduled to have more than 1,800 special effects shots, 400 more than the 1,400 in The Matrix 3.

According to the current size of the animator team, it can be completed in April next year.

Maybe it's because of the preparation, the shots are done at a rapid pace. There were no discarded shots, as long as Chen Tiandu shot what he wanted, he immediately shouted to stop, "OK, move on to the next shot." ”

Not only does the plot of the movie change fast, but even his shooting rhythm is also very fast.

Everyone's watch is quite perfect, so much so that on the first day of shooting, they actually ended work two hours early, which made these people a little uncomfortable.

But as filming intensified, the most important scene in France was approaching, and the crew began to get busy all night again. On the entire highway, all the more than 300 cars are moving at the designated speed at the designated location. This rehearsal has been going on for a long time, and it is also the reason why the crew has not officially started filming for many days since they came to France. (To be continued......)
