Turning around and walking outside, Robert Downey Jr. twisted his coquettish ass and said as he walked, "Why is such a big house empty?" Why are there only two X-Men? ”

"Oh......" he said again, this time even to the producers, "it must be that Twentieth Century Fox didn't have enough money to hire more X-Men." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

He seemed a little angry in his words, "The biographical film made for me turned out to be a small production!" ”

Originally, the line should have ended here, and Murphy was about to shout to stop, but Robert Downey Jr. didn't mean to stop, stretched out a finger and pointed to the camera, "Hey, idiot director, if you mess up, I'll definitely make you look like me!" ”

“cut！”

Seeing that Robert Downey Jr. was no longer talking, Murphy shouted to stop the crew, stood up, and gave a thumbs up to the other side of the set, "Well done, Donnie!" ”

Although Robert Downey Jr.'s on-the-spot performance just now is not in the script plan, the shooting is inherently flexible, and excellent actors often have some impromptu performances because of their roles during filming, as long as it is beneficial to the film, the director will generally not reject it.

Breaking the fourth wall this time to mock himself, Murphy thinks Robert Downey Jr. did a very good job.

In the vast majority of cases, breaking the fourth wall in a film like Deadpool is a taboo in filmmaking, and it will easily make the audience play, so no other film will try it easily, but "Deadpool" is different, both the setting of the comic book is the foundation, and it meets the needs of the overall style of the film, and breaking the fourth wall is beneficial and harmless.

However, Murphy also knows that even if this movie is "Deadpool", it is necessary to pay attention to the timing and quantity of breaking the fourth wall, otherwise this kind of crazy spit will also make the audience play.

The first scene went so smoothly that the purpose of the set was over, taking days to set up for just a few minutes, which is very common in filmmaking.

Murphy shouted a transition, and the crew didn't go far, just in front of another green screen next to it, filming shots of Lily Collins' Black Spider and the Russian actor as Colossus.

This is also a spit out.

"Every time I get the chance, I'll let Deadpool join us......"

As soon as filming began, the Russian-American actor named Krakow had only said half a sentence before Murphy called out, "cut!" ”

Lily Collins stood in front of the green screen and turned her head to look at Krakow, knowing that it must be him who had made the mistake.

Sure enough, Murphy exclaimed, "What are you talking about?" American English? Or French English? I want English with a Russian accent! ”

Krakow, who was covered in motion caps, immediately realized that he had made a mistake and quickly said, "Sorry, director, I will definitely pay attention to the pronunciation." ”

The premise of Colossus in the comics is from Russia, otherwise Murphy would not have found a Russian-born actor to use motion capture.

"All departments are back in place!" Murphy shouted.

The other departments didn't need to move much, mainly Philip Raschel's film crew needed to be readjusted, because it was a motion capture shot, and the actual height difference between the two characters in the film was quite large, but there was not so much between the actors, and it was certainly impossible to use the normal shooting method.

Murphy uses a more popular practice in the industry, this kind of shooting that reflects the height difference of the characters, there have been many solutions in Hollywood in the past, but a few years ago, Peter Jackson made a lot of improvements when filming the Hobbit scene, and it is very mature, and it can be used for filming after making appropriate adjustments.

This is the forced perspective method.

The so-called forced perspective is the use of optical and visual confusion illusions to deform the photographed object, closer, larger, smaller, etc., using the illusion of human visual perception to make the photographed object and the surrounding environment produce false relativity, coupled with the photographer's creativity and the camera's angle change, shooting a scene completely different from the actual scale.

Wait for Fili-Raschel to put a series of equipment back into place and the shooting begins again.

In the script, this is a dialogue scene between Colossus and Black Spider, but now in the shooting, Lily Collins is quite far away from Krakow, completely in a different green screen environment.

All the scenes where Coulix appears, Murphy and Philip Raschel have discussed it, and he has also made relevant plans.

When shooting, he will deliberately change the front and back of the picture and the guide line to give the lens an illusion, so that the scale of the characters can be exaggerated.

According to his request, Krakow was alone in the green screen space next to Lily Collins' main scene, and the main camera used for the shoot would be closer to him and away from Lily Collins to create a tall effect, and the background would be removed with CG and a suitable computer CG background would be added.

Lily Collins and Krakow were in different positions, moving forward in a side-by-side fashion, and in addition to the main camera, Murphy set up a second secondary camera to assist in the shooting.

Due to the use of rails, booms and other equipment during shooting, Murphy kept the main camera constantly moving, so he also used the computer to control the second camera position in real time during the shooting, and the second camera was also located at the end of Krakow, but did not move as widely as the main lens, but only did slow motion shooting on a very short rail.

When the second-camera system receives Murphy's command, it shoots according to the settings, and because the camera is closer to Krakow, it moves less.

And Murphy's directorial position is in the middle of the two cameras, so you can see the shooting effect very clearly.

Another point in the filming is that Murphy asked Krakow to slow down the frequency of the action a little, when the huge object moves more slowly, the credibility will increase, in other words, the audience is more likely to accept the slower-moving giants, giants, etc., so the giant beasts in the movie, such as Godzilla, are always slow every step.

The two actors were far away, but due to the need for live recording, when the microphone used for recording fell, Krakow spoke again, "Every time I get the chance, I ask Deadpool to join us, but he behaves like a child who hasn't grown up, and he's still a fully armed child." ”

He turned his head to look at Lily Collins, "When will he be mature enough to realize the benefits of joining the X-Men?" ”

"What's the benefit?" Lily Collins also began to complain, "Ugly tight-fitting stretch jacket? Or is it a house that is blown up every few years? ”

"Please!" Krakow defended, "Blowing up the house is to create the characters, and if we don't blow up our house, how can we highlight how bad the villain is?" How to set off the actions of our X-Men are just, win the hearts of the people, and maintain the beauty and peace of this world......"

Many people in the crew are holding back their laughter, since the film will intersect with "X-Men", the X-Men are naturally the most teased and complained about.

"Stop!" Murphy didn't shout through, "Do it again!" ”

In many cases, even if the shooting meets the requirements, he, the director, will continue to shoot to see if he can get better shots, and shoot a few more times, so that there is more material to use in post-editing.

Filming is never about shooting for the sake of shooting, just as a lot of pre-production is about preparing for shooting, shooting must serve for post-production.

It's almost an all-green screen scene, and post-production still needs to be composited, and the scene where Colossus and Black Spider set off in a stealth jet, Murphy neither plans to shoot nor synthesize it with CGI.

Kara Firth has gotten permission from Twentieth Century Fox to make appropriate use of some of the footage from X-Men, where there are no specific actors.

The two films are both a series and the copyright belongs to the same company, which is also very convenient to use.

Of course, Murphy won't use a lot, and the only shots currently planned to be used are the shots of Colossus and Black Spider flying their fighters from Xavier's School for Gifted Youth.

Although the crew filmed some very fragmentary shots on the first day, the filming process was quite smooth, especially Robert Downey Jr., all kinds of gods complained all over the sky, making the words that stayed on paper come alive.

At the end of the first day of filming, Murphy didn't leave work immediately, but asked Carla Firth to gather the heads of various departments for a brief meeting.

In addition to the three directors Murphy, Paul Wilson and Seth Rogen, as well as the heads of various departments such as Philip Raschel, Helena Espora, David Robbie and Jack Watson, there were also representatives of AIA on the crew.

This representative belongs to the relatively silent type, and he has been stationed in the crew as early as Los Angeles, as long as the crew follows the plan, he is a complete invisible person, and he will not easily give random opinions.

In addition, since this time it was not with Miramax, the crew also changed to a new editor, and Jody Griffiths, who originally worked with Murphy, was pulled into the crew by Carla Feiss.

Jody Griffith is Carla Fez's old subordinate, and his abilities are recognized by Murphy as good enough to be the editor of this film.

And unlike filming and producing "Planet Terror" and "Sin City", since the producer is Carla Fez, Murphy can get more full effort, and the post-editing is completely under his control, Jody Griffith and the editing team are more like a pair of hands that fulfill his will.

Such a meeting was a regular meeting, and Murphy made a point after asking Paul Wilson, who specializes in planning and reporting, to present today's work diary and tomorrow's shooting plan to the representatives of AIA in the United States.

"It's a superhero movie with a distinctly noir twist, but the style of the film can't be too black!" (To be continued.) )
