Chapter 412: The big-name vampire brides

"Let's see, the special effects have made the shape of the man-wolf and the vampire. ↖↖diǎn↖ small ↖ said, o see the real thing, it is good to know it in your heart. "The filming progress of the crew is excellent, and Chen Tiandu is also in a good mood, and he hasn't seen him lose his temper for some time.

Johnny, Hugh and Kate all gathered in front of the computer with great interest, and Michael Cinki brought up the video that had been made to be the fight that had been filmed earlier.

It had already been composited into the picture, and Hugh Jackman was also shocked to see himself fighting such a strong wolf, and joked, "I've become a strong man." ”

Johnny watched his arms stretch out, the fifteen-meter-long bat wings spread, and behind him was a round of bright full moon shape, and he was also very satisfied, "Doesn't the vampire have a trick to turn into a bat, why do I have such big wings?" ”

Chen Tiandu smiled: "I'm not interested in that thing, this is Gothic style, so I have to do it more thoroughly." Besides, Dracula is already very powerful, and if he has one more skill, then Van Helsing doesn't have to play. How's that, Johnny, this look? ”

Johnny couldn't be satisfied, he was so handsome that he had no friends. With a wide cloak waving in the wind, a handsome and bewitching face, miserable white skin, and a pair of blood-red eyes, the whole thing is developing in the direction of youth idol style. He guessed correctly, in fact, Chen Tiandu really had the intention of approaching this aspect. If the original version is copied, he doesn't have to shoot it, not to mention the investment of 160 million US dollars, the box office is less than 40 million US dollars, thanks to the market to save face.

Since Chen Tiandu has decided to shoot the monster series, he naturally will not let the head of this monster series suffer a tragic Waterloo. Not only is it handsome, but even Dracula's three brides have to be carefully chosen...... Well, these three should be almost there.

"Huh. Is this the Scarecrow and the Sheep's Head? It doesn't look that scary. Kate was more interested in the two monster populations in the back. When I looked up, I found that Chen Tian was distracted, and touched him, "What are you thinking, you are distracted again." ”

Chen Tiandu shook his head, "It's nothing, the next scene is going to shoot the scene of the vampire bride." Johnny, they are new to the crew, and they have not been run-in before. You help them into the play a little more. Johnny Depp smiled, "I'm more than happy to serve." ”

Of course, he is willing to serve, for the sake of these three vampire brides, Chen Tiandu has worked hard. That night in Prague, the crew threw a welcome party for the new vampire bride.

Rachel McAdams, a Canadian girl who became an instant hit with "The Big Bang Theory", completely made the whole United States obsessed with her sweet dimples. She starred in "The Big Bang Theory", which also contrasted with five ordinary-looking tech otaku, which made the whole show even more popular.

Although Keira Knightley is not popular in Hollywood, her popularity is also rising rapidly with the promotion of "Pirates of the Caribbean". These British roses have also appeared frequently on the covers of major fashion magazines recently. The driving force behind this is none other than Matrix.

The hardest one to invite is Jessica Alba, after successfully ascending to the throne with "Black Angel of Doom". She has no shortage of scenes. The girl had a high IQ, and after a few years in business, she became the majority shareholder of a company with assets of more than a billion dollars. He has also taken the initiative to participate in Chen Tiandu's movie auditions several times before, but he has diǎn resistance to playing the role of "one of the vampire brides". She felt that this character had no connotation, and she was crazy to compete for favor for men......

I don't know what reason her agency used to persuade her, but she finally agreed to make a cameo appearance.

The joining of the three beauties adds a bit of spring to the crew that is basically all men.

Chen Tian didn't let them shoot the scene of the town's air battle as soon as they came, but should shoot Dracula's masquerade.

Diǎn was filmed right at St. Nicholas's Cathedral in Prague.

To turn a sacred place into a zombie party, the first thing is to remove the rows of benches, lay the floor on the concrete floor, then cover the confessional room with a screen and install the diǎn space, while the sculptures inside the church are left untouched. In addition, the crew also used a lot of large candelabras and mirrors. The whole renovation process was quite challenging, as everything could not be fixed to the existing structure of the old building, so the crew had to adjust the previous filming procedures.

Since the use of traditional candles is prohibited in the church, the crew specially made a low-heat oil-burning candle and used more than 1,400 candles on site to create a mysterious mood of light and shadow.

During the filming of the prom, the indoor temperature of the church was always below freezing, and all the cast and crew were enduring the torment of low temperatures. To prepare for the scene, all parts of the crew were involved: costume designer Gabriela Pescassi dressed up 270 actors; Composer Aaron Svischa composed two movements for the scene before filming, which was performed by a 115-member orchestra; Choreographer Debra Brown also choreographed two waltzes.

Fortunately, several of the main actors have a dance foundation, and a little rehearsal is not a problem.

There are 100 of the best ballroom dancers in Prague. In addition, there are several acrobatic performances interspersed.

Chen Tiandu has only one requirement for this scene, gorgeous and colorful, and what he wants is dǐng-level audio-visual enjoyment.

Even more complex than the Dracula Ball set is Transylvania, which was set up outside Prague.

The design work began in the second half of 2002, and the matrix invited German designers to prepare for this classical-style town.

Inspired by the art and film of "Expressionism", the entire exterior was completed by a team of 80 craftsmen in 10 weeks, covering a total area of more than 6,000 square meters.

And now, the town has grown from scratch and stands perfectly. But sadly, such a town was built with the purpose of destroying it, or was it destroyed by three women.

"Such old villages, I can't believe they are going to be destroyed by us." Rachel McAdams had no intention of coming to shoot at all, she felt like she was on a tour.

"It doesn't seem like a village, it's a town, a small town in Transylvania." Jessica corrected her, and she picked up the script to explain to Rachel, "The vampire bride is just a sabotage in the early stages. The ultimate destruction is Dracula's magic. ”

Kayla laughed, "We're just here to make soy sauce." I'm going to be the first to be killed anyway. ”

"Hey. Brides, come and put on special effects costumes. ”

Michael Sinki shouted in the distance.

"What is a special effects outfit?" The newcomer's Rachel didn't know much about it, and Johnny on the side still remembered Chen Tiandu's instructions and took the initiative to explain to the whites, "Motion capture sensor patches, tights." Anyway you won't like them, I promise. ”

The three girls looked at the black tights, and there were strange sensor patches. Sure enough, there was a disgusted expression on his face. But it's just an expression, as an actor, where can you be beautiful anytime and anywhere. Keira Knightley is the least unfamiliar with these, and some of the characters in Pirates of the Caribbean wear it from start to finish.

In order to film the scene where the vampire bride attacked Transylvania, Chen Tiandu also discussed with the director team many times.

The decision was made to use live-action shooting, motion capture, and digital special effects techniques, and to do so, the ABA aerial camera was built to raise steel wires from 10 feet above the ground to hundreds of feet in the air, allowing suspended cameras to sweep the entire set at high speeds.

In addition, there are plenty of hanging wire stunts over the Transylvanian set. The stunt coordinator is a Hollywood professional stunt team that is no less skilled than Hong Kong's best action team. Even more scientific and professional.

Chen Tiandu approached the team leader, R-A Rundle, and asked, "Can you tell me how far you can go?" ”

"Hanging lines laid out on site. Up to 15 actors can take to the skies at the same time. If that's not enough, we can add a little more, but that will take up more time. ”

"That's enough." Chen Tian was very satisfied, "I hope the previous training was not in vain." ”

As the days passed, the filming of Van Helsing took place every day with a very rich list of shooting tasks.

After adapting to the cold weather in the local area, several of the main actors also became more and more handy, completely letting go of themselves and devoting themselves to the role.

Especially Johnny Depp, he is really the most suitable for playing this kind of "neurotic" role, and the more and more tacit chemistry has made Chen Tiandu applaud them several times.

"Johnny, great performance, I'm now struggling with whether or not to reshoot the old shots."

Johnny shrugged with the calm expression you look at it, "That's your business, if you're not afraid to spend more." ”

As soon as he heard that he was going to reshoot the previous shots, producer Cage Dodge suddenly became nervous and persuaded: "I don't think it's necessary, and the front performance is also very good." ”

"Look. You'll have to convince Cage first. ”

Johnny joked, and Hugh Jackman smiled. Jokes like this are not uncommon in the crew. Everyone is getting more and more familiar, and this is one of the reasons for the tacit chemistry with each other.

Chen Tiandu only thought for a moment, then shook his arm fiercely, "It has to be reshot, maybe just a few shots can sell millions more at the box office." "Cage was defeated, he was just a production assistant sent by Paramount, who called the chief producer Chen Tiandu himself.

On February 11, the Oscar nominations were announced. "Juno" was fortunate enough to be nominated for four nominations, this time with a slight difference from the Golden Globes. Failed to get the Best Director nomination at the Golden Globes, but saw the light of day at the Academy Awards.

Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actress, Best Original Screenplay.

Counting this time, Chen Tiandu has been nominated for the Oscar for Best Director for the third time.

The day after the nomination was announced, Chen Tiandu rarely got up late because he was overworked last night. When I felt the crew, everyone was almost there.

"Chen, congratulations on being nominated for Best Director again." Hugh Jackman was greeted with a big hug.

"Oh...... Thanks, you already know. ”

Johnny Depp congratulated him with a punch, and said, "Please, man, who doesn't know about this kind of thing, and we don't really know about the world in the deep mountains and old forests." ”

"Thank you." Chen Tiandu was in a good mood, "I'm done tonight, please have a drink together." ”

Kate hurriedly reminded her, "You're still quitting drinking." ”

“…… Sorr, I drink juice, haha. (To be continued......)
