Chapter 91: A Change of Identity
was busy until more than seven o'clock, and Ke Zihua and the others finished filming and returned to the hotel.
Breakfast was a working meal eaten on the set, and after a comfortable hot shower, Ke Zihua also felt a little sleepy.
But when he was lying in bed, he couldn't sleep, and his mind was full of thoughts about last night.
Although the movements he designed were not difficult, due to the lack of such practice among the actors, it was not easy to realize that it was not easy to do it, and even if he succeeded in shooting the desired effect in the end, he just found a reasonable solution, plus a little bit of luck.
From this, Ke Zihua thought of some of his previous experiences as a stuntman, and he found that it was not that there was anything wrong with his own design, but that everyone was unprepared due to the temporary change of the script.
In fact, he felt that even if he experienced many failures, it was right, and that it was the only way to do it.
From "Killing Police" to the current "Rush 60 Seconds", in just over a month, how many amazing and wonderful stunts has he filmed?
Although he has failed a few times, he has always seemed to have better results because of his excellent luck, although he has also paid, worked hard, and worked hard, but it was too smooth sailing!
Even, sometimes, he couldn't believe that he shot these wonderful stunts.
No matter how experienced a director is, it is very likely that when filming an ordinary scene, he will encounter a dozen or dozens of failures, how can he continue to create miracles?
It wasn't until this time, after more than a dozen failures, that Ke Zihua found some real feelings, and he felt that this was the way it should be.
"Just one?"
"Magical Ke?"
Thinking of this, Ke Zihua couldn't help but smile, "I'd rather be as troublesome as today every time, rather than be so lucky every time, good luck will always run out one day, only down-to-earth efforts are the most fundamental." ”
However, after laughing, he still seriously reviewed his behavior: "In the future, it will be like a temporary change of creativity." It's best not to do this kind of thing, even if you have a good idea, you have to verify it repeatedly before you can shoot. Sooner or later, I'll have to mess up my brand. ”
"In addition, I also have to pay attention to the safety issues in the shooting, if there was an accident with the forklift yesterday, what would someone else choose? Either way, it's very dangerous, if not lucky. I'm afraid I'll have to go overboard with the car and the man. ”
Thinking of yesterday's accident, Ke Zihua felt that he was not prepared enough before shooting, and if he could be more careful before shooting, he would definitely avoid this emergency.
Before this, he hadn't really put safety first, and he would always habitually put himself in the position of an actor when filming. It was only then that he realized that with the change of his identity, he should no longer think about the problem from the perspective of an actor, but from the perspective of a director.
"Hmm. In the future, I must make the most meticulous preparations before shooting, and to prevent accidents to the greatest extent, I am now an action director, and I can no longer be as stupid as before. ”
"Do you have to put yourself and others in danger every time you shoot a scene in the future?"
It is precisely because of this experience that Ke Zihua gradually transformed from a stuntman to an excellent stunt director
I don't know when, Ke Zihua fell into a deep sleep and didn't wake up until the afternoon. And the first thing I did when I woke up was to call Senna. He wanted to go to the set of the next scene right away.
This is the most important action scene in the whole movie, and he doesn't want any more accidents during filming.
"Hey, Senna, I'm Ke Zihua. Aren't we going to shoot the highlight of that river chase the day after tomorrow? I want to go and see it live. ”
Senna's voice came from the other end of the phone: "I just wanted to take someone to decorate it, and you called, so let's go and have a look together." ”
Soon, Ke Zihua came to the dry section of the river, and after joining up with the Senna people, they began to check the situation of the river from the beginning.
Bend down and pick up a palm-sized piece of gravel. Ke Zihua said to Senna: "Senna, you see, there are a lot of gravel on the riverbed, and you must clean them all up before shooting, otherwise it will not be very dangerous." ”
"Also, there are cracks in some places, and we have to find a way to plug them, and the smaller cracks are okay to say, you look at the one that is two fingers wide, these are all hidden dangers."
Senna nodded, and instructed Webb, the assistant director beside him: "Just do what he says, and it must be completed the afternoon after tomorrow." ”
Webber looked at the several kilometers of river and pouted in embarrassment: "It's too late today, I'll try my best to find someone to do this, but I'm afraid we have to postpone the shooting." ”
"These cracks are big trouble. It had to be plugged with concrete, and even if it could be done tomorrow, it wouldn't be able to shoot immediately the day after tomorrow, and it would have to be postponed for at least two days. ”
Senna also frowned, in this case, he had to adjust the shooting plan again, so he looked at Ke Zihua with some embarrassment: "Ke, can you see if you can do it for a while?" When the time comes, just slow down. ”
Ke Zihua said resolutely: "No! Although most of them are small cracks, it is better to plug them all up, otherwise they can easily become dangerous. ”
"As an action director, I have to be responsible for the safety of the actors!"
Seeing that Senna was still hesitating, Ke Zihua patiently persuaded: "Senna, you don't want to happen like yesterday again, do you?" This time, Cage drove the car himself, and in addition to him, there were Lindo and several other actors. ”
Of course, Senna didn't want any more accidents, and hurriedly said to Webb firmly: "Give you three days, and you must plug all the cracks for me." ”
Then he said to Ke Zihua: "You are right, I'm sorry, I ignored this issue, we are all responsible for the safety of the actors." ”
This scene was not in the original movie, and Webb found Ke Zihua a while ago, hoping to add this drag racing scene in the river.
Because he found this abandoned river channel while looking for the set, he thought it would be very emotional if Cage drove a rampaging Mustang and hedged against the police car in the river.
And the most important thing is that this can reduce some scenes on the street, you must know that the road closure in Los Angeles is not as easy as Wen Gehua, according to the original plan they need to close the road for at least three days, but if you add this scene, maybe only two days will be enough.
After research, Ke Zihua and Senna immediately agreed to Weber's construction, Senna felt that it was too easy to close an abandoned river channel compared to closing the street, which not only saved a lot of money, but also reduced a lot of unnecessary trouble.
Ke Zihua was persuaded by Weber's creativity, and he also thought that the idea of letting Cage hedge with the police car was very good.
Although the scene of chasing on the street can open the eyes of the audience, as time goes by, they will feel more and more dull. Only by constantly stimulating their nerves can the audience enjoy watching more.
According to the plot arrangement, while Cage escapes from the dock in a mustang, a second group of police will arrive, and with the help of a new helicopter, Cage will be intercepted head-on in the river.
With pursuers in front and behind, Cage had no choice but to get out of the way, and then drove into the police convoy.
When the river dries up, a flat concrete bed is revealed, making it difficult to run even a sports car with a very low chassis.
Ke Zihua believes that after cleaning and repairing, it can still meet the shooting requirements.
Three days passed quickly, and after intense preparations, Senna took the group to the new set.
As soon as he arrived, Ke Zihua took Cage and Lindo to familiarize themselves with the venue, Cage drove a Mustang to the front, and Lindo and they followed behind in a police car.
After running back and forth a few times, Ke Zihua found that there was still some gravel on the river, so he asked Weber with his throat: "Webb, are you sure you have cleaned up the gravel on the river?" ”
"Ke, I promise, I asked the workers to clean the rubble first, and then I went to plug the cracks!"
"Then why is there still gravel on the river?"
Webber paused, then patted his head and complained: "It must be the sea breeze that has been strong in the past two days, and it has just blown into the river, it's really damned!" ”
Senna heard their conversation and hurriedly leaned over to them, "What?" Is there a problem? ”
Hearing Weber tell the reason, Senna was a little breathless, and hurriedly asked Ke Zihua: "Ke, it's too late to find someone to clean up now, what should I do?" ”
Ke Zihua is also very helpless about this, and it is obviously inappropriate to postpone the shooting plan again, it seems that he has to deal with the shooting.
So he comforted Senna: "Don't worry, fortunately, it's all small gravel, and the amount is not very large, it shouldn't affect the shooting." ”
Although he said this, Ke Zihua still gathered the actors together and emphasized to them: "You have also seen that although the river has been cleaned once, now there are some small gravels that have been blown into the river by the sea breeze. ”
"It's too late to clean up now, and everyone should pay more attention to safety when shooting."
When he finished speaking, Cage smiled and quipped, "Don't worry, we know, why don't you come down and have fun too?" ”
Ke Zihua also felt that this was a good building, and at this time, he could only rest assured when he was with everyone, so Ke Zihua changed clothes with an actor who played a police officer, and planned to complete this set of shots with everyone.
Seeing that he planned to go into battle in person, Senna agreed without even thinking about it, and said with a smile: "Then you go and play with them, and leave the shooting to me." (To be continued.) )
