Thanksgiving passed, and the movie ushered in the most difficult scene shooting.

The crew was split into two teams, and this time it was time for McChowey to take the lead. Because Chen Tiandu really couldn't leave. His role is too heavy, and letting the whole crew wait for him to shoot little by little, it is no different from throwing green bills into the stove to keep warm. McCoway is naturally "Alexander", but fortunately, with Chen Tiandu's four crews, the progress is obvious, and the ability is undoubted, what is lacking is confidence and courage.

Chen Tiandu's role with Hugo Weaving was the most difficult to get through, working with 15 special effects crews, and they had already gone through too much torture to complete a five-and-a-half-minute action. This set includes more than 500 different moves. Pre-shoot training was the only way to achieve the required level of film, making the visuals sharp and the martial arts action awe-inspiring.

Hugo Weaving had been training for several months before, and he was still passable, but Chen Tiandu could only temporarily cramble because of his lack of practical training. Fortunately, his kung fu foundation is still there, and the boxing skills he has practiced for several years are still fancy, but he can't beat people but it helps a lot at this time.

When Chen Tiandu discussed with Yuan Heping, he said that the action was required to be as engaging as possible, "The audience likes spectacle, and the audience wants to be entertained." They are interested in both frontal and negative physical contact, and in the same way, the matrix is both destructive and warm, both to see the destructive power of the action and to show the grace and skill of the action - this is what the audience wants from an action movie. ”

No one will doubt the immeasurable role of martial arts instructors in the visual effects of the trilogy.

"Yuan's style is a surprisingly good match for the way Christmas Chan tells stories," producer Charles Rowan said in a tidbit. "Except for the fight scene between the protagonist and the antagonist in a test of will. He is also able to describe the development of the characters through guò movements. This is already evident in Neo's fight with Morpheus when he first feels his potential in the first episode. This is still the case in the next two episodes, where he is challenged by a huge shock and must elevate himself to a whole new level. The audience only needs to watch his actions to know the psychological and plot changes, which is the high level of action movies. Express the plot with action, not just for the sake of popularity, for the sake of good looks......"

The pleasing fight scenes benefit from a strong alliance between the martial arts instructor, director, and actors.

"The concept of all these fight scenes came from the director," Yuan explained. "I'm just building the action on top of Chen's ideas. The battle between the strong was very difficult, as Neo had to fight 100 Agent Smith at the same time, and they had to learn a lot of incredible moves and fast movements. Then I had to ask each individual agent Smith to imitate Hugo's movements and be exactly the same. The completion of martial arts design is inseparable from the perfect realization of these movements by all these people. Finally, he shook his head and sighed, "This is an incredible action scene, after watching it, everyone will be amazed!" ”

The videos of these interviews with the main creators will be released regularly after the film enters the publicity period, so that everyone knows the scenes in the film's creation process.

It's an empty space behind a tall building, cluttered, dirty, a mix of old industry and futuristic technology that has always been a feature of The Matrix. They've got it. But there will still be residents and paparazzi around from time to time, so security is essential.

Outsiders don't know. I just know that there are crew members busy here every day. There is also a group of girls who learned the news, who would wait at the exit at regular intervals after work every day, waiting for Chen Tiandu to come out and ask for an autograph and group photo.

“Cut！” After finishing the shot with difficulty for a few seconds, Chen Tian was sweating profusely and panting.

No, I had to pause and rest.

"Everyone's worked hard." Chen Tiandu took a few breaths and encouraged more than a dozen stuntmen. They were all about the size of Hugo Weaving. A little care can't bring anything substantial, but it can make people feel very warm. Because during the filming process, they were all "beaten" by Chen Tiandu, and when they hit their bodies, sometimes it is difficult to control the strength at all, and they will always be a little sorry.

"It's okay, it's all for filming."

"Hmm." Chen Tiandu walked back and sat on the chair, Niu Yingying hurriedly handed over the water and said with concern: "Boss, how long will it take to finish filming this play." "Come on, help me rub my legs, hiss......"

Jun Ji-hyun's role has not yet arrived at the filming, and he has recently been running errands here to help. Because of the entire crew, he knows Chen Tiandu and Kate, and he is more comfortable with Chen Tiandu. In addition, she also has some action scenes, and she needs to be guided and practiced by Yuan Heping.

Seeing that Chen Tiandu was working so hard, he also stuck out his tongue, hesitated and walked to the other side of him and said, "Is it very hard, I'll help you press it too." ”

"Thank you." Chen Tiandu exhaled comfortably, "Oh, light, why are you so strong, you want to pinch me to death." Jun Ji-hyun suddenly became angry and glared at him fiercely, "I really regret coming over." But his hands were unconsciously much softer.

Chen Tiandu pretended not to hear, and Niu Yingying sneered.

Hugo, who was resting on the other side, saw him like this, shook his head and teased: "Why doesn't anyone see that I'm also tired, my assistant, I must have fired her when I turned around." ”

Chen Tiandu laughed, "Then you sit down and I'll help you press it." ”

Hugo shook his head and smiled, "I'm kidding." How about the injury on your leg, if it is a muscle strain, it is worse, it is better to go to the hospital system for a check-up. ”

"It's okay, I can feel it." Chen Tiandu didn't care and waved his hand. This little bump is inevitable, compared to Chenlong's desperate spirit of making action movies, he is simply a delicate woman. It's also because of too little experience and not enough practice that I can't cooperate well with Weiya.

"What about you, how's it going?"

It's okay that he didn't ask, but Hugo suddenly complained when he asked, "I can't stand it anymore, I face twelve of myself every day, if it's you, you can try it." After saying this, he realized that everyone was still there, and immediately explained to his stand-ins, "Hey guys, I'm not talking about you, I'm just whining, you guys should be my fart." ”

"Haha......" There was a burst of teasing laughter from the scene, and Hugo shrugged speechlessly.

There are twelve actors of the same height and size as him at all times, imitating his words, deeds, and even expressions all the time. As if it were another doppelganger, it's no wonder Hugo complained. Because he felt that he was facing 12 "egos" all day long, and that situation was quite "terrifying".

The clones were obviously used to his whining, and they just laughed and laughed, and no one took it to heart. When the film is finished, their faces won't appear on the big screen, but they'll at least get paid a good amount of money. This is the hard work of low-level actors, the pyramid of Hollywood is far higher and steeper than anywhere else, but not everyone can be famous.

This is a revolutionary breakthrough in "virtual shooting".

In The Matrix: Reloaded, Neo battles 100 upgraded Matrix Agent Smith, one of the two main events in the film, which contains complex camera movements. With so many characters, it would be extremely laborious and materially expensive to barely cope with it with "bullet time".

Before each shot is taken, a lot of preparation is required.

Sometimes you watch it live, and it's going to be a good fight scene, but it's not necessarily going to be used. The really useful shots should be to make all the shooting actions he requires can be carried out in the virtual set of the computer.

Therefore, the whole shooting, from position to action, needs to be carefully calculated.

All kinds of objects needed for shooting, including scenes, characters, lighting, etc., are all integrated into the computer, and then, Chen Tian can "direct" the performance and action of the characters on the computer according to his own intentions, and move the camera from any angle. In short, it's about shooting whatever the director wants to shoot.

However, the computer technology of this era is not so magical enough, otherwise it would be possible to make virtual movies directly. And all those numbers that are typed into the computer are naturally derived from the real world intact.

If it weren't for this shoot, the workload would have been even more if it weren't for this shoot, and the trial of digital photography technology would have been even more.

Over there, Michael and his team are also busy all the time, and all the special effects work is carried out while shooting. After a shot is finished here, they have to "clone" the footage into their computer and process it with professional software.

The transition from virtual to real is a rare idea. Shots that are impossible to accomplish in the real world, and at the same time, because the virtual world is a perfect replica of the real world, the audience simply cannot fault the authenticity of the performances, actions, and scenes.

If anyone knows anything about special effects, they will immediately understand how big this step is.

Even a movie like the Star Wars Prequel that claims to include visual effects in every shot cannot enable a director to direct a performance that is completely indistinguishable from the real world.

As I said before, "virtual shooting" has expanded Chen Tiandu's free play space as a director N times at once, and the only restriction left is their imagination.

"Man, just get used to it." Chen Tiandu was almost rested, stood up and patted Hugo's shoulder, and asked his doppelgangers: "How are you resting, can you shoot?" ”

"Almost, if you're okay, we'll be even more fine."

"Alright then, get ready for the next shot." Chen Tiandu shouted loudly: "Eighth master, you can start work." ”

Yuan Heping began to take his place as the director, and was in charge of the whole process. Looking at the camera, he was about to shout "action", when Michael of the special effects team shouted again, "Wait a minute, your sensors seem to be in poor contact, wait for us to re-check." ”

So the shooting was stopped again, and this happens every day. (To be continued......)
