Chapter 188: Crushed all the way, three hundred cars
(There are still eight votes left, and the goal is in sight!) )
The weather in Brazil is already hot, and they stay in Brazil during the hottest summer vacation in July and August, and the crew's daily cold drinking water is calculated in tons.
The three films released in July, "Scream", "X-Men", and "Dangerous" all won more than $150 million at the box office in North America. "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was the first to be released in other regions, and it has gained a lot of word-of-mouth. It's a pity that it was released in Ang Lee's hometown of Taiwan, but the box office was not satisfactory. Hong Kong is somewhat popular, but it is far inferior to "Infernal Affairs".
The media also reported uneasy and kind, it seems that Ang Lee's new film brings together Zhou Yunfa and Michelle Yeoh still look like Waterloo. Compared with several Chinese directors in Hollywood, Ang Lee VS Chen Tiandu, it seems that Ang Lee has completely failed. didn't know that this movie had already won the scale of more than 2,000 theaters in North America during the Christmas schedule, and others were not focusing on the Asian market at all.
However, this will not have any impact on the crew filming in Brazil.
"Lin, there is no problem with these shots you shot, but when you put them together, there is a problem, do you know where the problem is?" Chen Tiandu doesn't have any concerns about his age at this time, he is the chief director, he entered the Tao earlier than Lin Yibin, and he is also justified in teaching a lesson.
This is a scene of routine discussion by the director team, and it has returned to the place where the tank scene was filmed, and the road has been closed. Several huge mechanical booms were erected above and below the overpass, and several cars and props were moved to the edge of the overpass by the steel frame. Several private cars are lining up at fixed locations within a full three kilometers. This scene is indeed huge, just a few minutes of footage, more than 100 cars will be destroyed in a row.
Crushing, all the way to the past.
Lin Yibin frowned and found a reason, "Different from the style of the shots you shot before?" ”
"It's just one of them." Chen Tiandu said: "You pursue realistic style, I pursue romantic style, which is understandable." But the difference in style before and after can never appear in a movie, maybe you can try it yourself from the next play. You see...... For this scene where the car crashes into the guardrail and the gravel collapses, I will shoot it with a close-up. Use slow motion to exaggerate the instantaneous burst of rubble. And you're simply dumping the rubble. And the camera floats too fast, and when it is crushed, I can only watch the car under the foot of the tank being crushed into cake from a distance, and I like to shoot the fierce clatter and deformation of the iron car when it is crushed. ”
Lin Yibin defended: "I want to push quickly and describe the footage of high-speed competition. I don't think it's that bad. ”
"Hmm." Chen Tiandu nodded: "I'm not a person who likes to interfere with others. From the first film, The Sixth Sense. I was determined that I would never let people dictate my next film, and I understand what it's like to be a director, but you haven't learned to compromise yet. You have a lot of ideas. The next play allows you to take your time and try. However, in this play, I hope you can shoot every shot based on my thoughts first, based on my ideas. OK? ”
Lin Yibin let out a breath of silt, "Okay, my fault, I'm a little anxious." I'm sorry. ”
Chen Tiandu smiled, "It's okay, I'll give you a chance, you can control the next train carjacking scene, I'll watch you from behind." ”
"Okay!"
Soon, the set was filled with the sound of "Action"!
The sound of "boom, boom, boom" tank crushing rang for two days. Finally, according to the statistics, in just a few minutes of footage, there were more than 300 cars that were crushed by tanks, which made everyone stunned!
"Cut, it's over, call it a day!"
When the horn in Chen Tiandu's hand finally shouted this roar, the props team, film crew, set team, and actors all felt like they were prostration.
When the blue sky of Rio was replaced by the beautiful scenery of dusk, the crew also ended the day's work, but Chen Tiandu's work was not over, and after returning to the hotel for dinner, he began to accept today's shooting results, and asked the relevant assistants to send those satisfactory special effects shots to the special effects, and then he discussed tomorrow's shots with Aiman, McCurway, Lin Yibin and others, and returned to the room It was very late and very tired.
After taking a hot shower, the phone rang and it was Kate calling.
She also called him after work, and she was very tired, so she hung up after a brief chat with each other.
Chen Tiandu habitually turned on the computer to watch the content of the official website, and uploaded a few stills from the set, of course, this photo slightly reveals a corner of the plot, which makes people scratch their hearts but can't guess anything. The blog on the official website of the matrix is very well designed because of the layout design, the background function is very beautiful, the functions of chatting, uploading pictures, videos and other functions are also very sound, and it can also make friends, follow, like and other interactive methods, which attracts a large number of netizens.
The number of hits every day is almost as good as that of professional BBS forums in some big cities, and the number of registered users has exceeded 1 million, which is a miracle for a film company's promotional website.
In fact, most people don't watch Matrix movies, but they like their official website blog function, and they write blog posts every day, sharing their lives, photos and other content. But subconsciously, this group of registered users are all movie-loving, and they will be the first to know when new content is released. Gradually, there is a tendency to become a fan club.
The matrix also took advantage of the situation, and according to the website development route left by Chen Tiandu, it used beautiful photos to attract more users to register in.
Chen Tiandu basically does not post blog posts, he is a long-term diver. Occasionally manipulate the management account, update a few stills on the "Fast and Thrilling" page, and it's over.
But today, the website is a little hot, they are talking about racing, but the content is not "Fast and Thrill", he was a little puzzled, and after watching it carefully for a while, he figured out why.
It turns out that today "Life and Death" released a one-and-a-half-minute trailer in advance, and the opening scene is the huge and long roar of the F1 car like an airplane taking off.
"Buzz Boom Boom~~~"
The opening film is just a piece of F1 cars shuttling in between. There are crowds of people on both sides of the racetrack. The excitement of the moment when you run over the square lattice lane terminus, and then champagne sprays into the sky. The thrilling sound and the powerful engine sound vibrate your computer speakers, making countless viewers feel like they have been beaten with blood.
It's not all F1 cars on the track, the hot speed race is naturally the biggest attraction, the thrill of wild cars passing by in front of you like electric light, as well as champagne, pools, bikini beauties and other popular elements flashed in the trailer one by one, hip-hop music sounded in the ears, and Stallone and young idol Kip Pardu starred, which attracted countless eyes for a while.
"Wow! Awesome! "Just listen to the roar of the Formula 1 engine. It's exciting. ”
Just watch the trailer. It is indeed a very hilarious commercial film. Even the audience who was attracted because of the fast racing video some time ago gradually has a tendency to run towards "Life and Death".
Director Renny Haring even publicly said in the interview video, ""Life and Death" will be the best racing movie next year! Stallone's partner Kip is simply fantastic. The cooperation between us has generated countless novel ideas...... "the journalist asked. "I heard that Christmas Chen's new movie "Fast and Passion" is also about racing. Do you think "Life and Death" will surpass him? ”
Renny Haring shook his head, "I'm sorry, I haven't heard of Fast and Furious, admittedly. The first two films of Christmas Chan are not bad, but that doesn't mean much, Hollywood is a battlefield of flux, and no one can thrive forever. In my eyes, there is only "Life and Death". I can't think of any movie next year that will be more attractive than "Life and Death"!
"Wow~~" The reporter's eyes lit up and he almost screamed with joy, "This is completely a posture that doesn't take Chen Tiandu in his eyes." ”
Then the media encouraged, describing it with a thriller title: "Rainey Haring doesn't know Christmas Chen, and bluntly said that the box office of "Life and Death" will surpass "Fast and Furious"! In the article, Renny Haring was named and vaguely said that he was not optimistic about Chen Tiandu, and the next movie would definitely hit the street. There is no shortage of provocative words to grab the audience's attention.
Not long after Chen Tiandu announced that he would invest hundreds of millions of yuan to shoot "Fast and Passion", the racing market had just been hyped by him, and "Life and Death Speed" jumped out to pick up peaches, and he was so ashamed to speak out, which naturally caused Chen Tiandu's fans to be dissatisfied, and they both started a scolding war.
Someone scolded Christmas Chen for how old he was, "Don't make three movies and your tail will be in the sky, you must know that you respect your predecessors, isn't China the most respectful of your elders?" "What does respecting elders have to do with movie competition, not to mention that Christmas Chan didn't say anything. ”……
Some people praise the trailer of "Life and Death" for looking really good, but in terms of racing alone, I am afraid that there is no form of racing that can be compared to F1 in terms of speed, and the implication is that they are not optimistic about the obvious street racing genre of "Fast and Furious".
The battlefield between the two sides is not somewhere else, it is actually the official website of the matrix, which is really embarrassing.
Renny Haring went to the United States in the late 80s and is a cutting-edge director highly praised by Fox in the United States. He has successively made many successful action films such as "Die Hard Sequel", "Peak Warrior" and "Mighty Mountains", laying the foundation for his strong position as a famous director of action films. In 1993, he married actress Gina Davis and founded a film production company together, but failed to shoot "Cut Throat Island". Later, he directed a series of box office action films such as "Agent Crazy Flower" and "Ghost Street IV", regaining his strength and becoming a first-line action film director.
"Life and Death" is a blockbuster brand he focused on building in the new 2000, and Stallone joined, so he is naturally ambitious.
But Hollywood's undisciplined behavior is famous, and "Life and Death" is clearly promoting hype, which caused Chen Tiandu's fans to be a little excessive, that's all, Chen Tian didn't pay too much attention to it.
But the next day, he suddenly received a phone call, Peck called, and opened his mouth in a hurry, and the first sentence was terrifying: "Oh no, boss, something big has happened......" (to be continued......
