Finely broken snowflakes were mixed in the cold wind, falling from the air, like sharp knives cutting people's faces, the crew's snowmobiles were scattered on the vast snowfield, and each staff member was wrapped in thick down cold-proof clothing, similar to lights and cameras and other equipment. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The weather is not the coldest yet, but the crew is from warm Los Angeles, and it is a little uncomfortable to suddenly appear in an environment below freezing.

"Do a good job of keeping the three actors warm." Murphy told one of the interns who worked as assistants, "There should be at least three assistants each, down jackets and hot coffee at all times, and if they catch a cold, don't ask for any of your bonuses." ”

The intern nodded busily.

The rest of the crew can be wrapped in thick down winter suits, but Chris Evans in Superman uniforms and Gal Gadot in Wonder Woman will have to face the ice and snow here when filming begins, and they play superhumans, but they are not.

Thinking that Gal Gadot was going to wear that ancient Greek armor to shoot in such an environment, Murphy faintly regretted that he should have put these scenes in front of the green screen of the studio......

However, the crew is over, and it is impossible for him to change his decision, otherwise he and Gal Gadot will become the biggest laughing stock in Hollywood.

The thick leather boots on his feet creaked as they landed on the white snow, and Murphy walked over to the makeshift lift and looked up to ask the director of photography who was setting up the camera above, "Filip, are you okay?" ”

"Everything works!" Philip Raschel gestured 'ok'.

Advances in technology have brought about the convenience of filmmaking, and in this harsh environment, film and film cameras can face considerable challenges, but digital cameras can easily cope with it, without worrying about whether low temperatures will affect the quality of the images.

This isn't the first time Murphy has worked in such low temperatures, as he also led his team to shoot in the snowfields of Iceland during the previous filming of A Song of Ice and Fire: Game of Thrones, which can be regarded as having some experience.

After going around in the photography, props, lighting, recording and other departments, Murphy went to see Chris Evans, Megan Fox and Gal Gadot, and the three of them were mentally prepared for this harsh working environment, especially Gal Gadot also told Murphy that this cold was nothing.

As for the delicate-looking Meghan Fox, an actor who has been tortured by the explosion maniac Michael Bay, it is not a problem at all to cope with such an environment.

Out of the makeup trailer, Murphy returned to his work station, stood on the raised platform, and looked around, except for the busy crew, there was no one to see on this vast snowfield.

However, the pristine scenery looks quite charming.

At the end of his line of sight was a vast pristine land covered in endless forests and dotted with snow-capped mountains, where the magnificent glaciers, meandering streams, and dazzling snow were all gathered in the pure nature created by the hand of God.

After a look at the near-pristine scenery of Alaska, Murphy returned to work, and after more than an hour of busyness, the crew's preparations were announced ready and filming could begin.

In line with the principle of going from simple to complex, Murphy first shot some personal shots of Louise Lane played by Megan Fox, compared to Chris Evans and Gal Gadot, who are going to fight hard, the only thing she needs to do is to show off her body and face as well as possible in front of the camera.

The down winter jacket prepared by the crew for Louise Lane is a tight-fitting design, which can highlight Megan Fox's good figure even in the ice and snow.

The shots were simple, and with the experience of filming "Transformers", Megan Fox was also very handy with it, and Murphy quickly completed this part of the shooting.

After Chris Evans and Gal Gadot appeared in front of the camera, their hair dyed black, and the action director took the two to familiarize themselves with the action and move, and the shooting began.

The filming of these action scenes is also divided into countless pieces, Murphy rarely shoots long shots, and a set of action shots is filmed, and the longest is only more than 20 seconds.

And the weather is indeed a little cold, he also needs to consider the actor's ability to bear it, every time he shoots, he will let the crew rest, and Gal Gadot and Chris Evans can also wear down cold clothes and drink some hot coffee to ward off the cold.

This will make the shooting slower, but if the actor falls ill, it will be more troublesome, not to mention Gal Gadot inside.

Fortunately, not all action scenes will be completed by them themselves, the two of them only need to complete the scenes where their faces are exposed, and for the rest, Murphy will use stunt doubles.

"Act Fifteen, Act Twenty-Two, Start Now!"

The sound of the scene reporter sounds, and another scene begins, camera number one hangs under a slowly lowered boom, and the close-up of the shot is transmitted to the director's monitor in front of Murphy, Gal Gadot is lying on the snow in his ancient Greek-style armor, and the camera first shoots the shield and the sword of Vulcan that fall to the side, and then cuts to Gal Gadot's face.

In the filming just now, Gal Gadot's stunt double has been knocked down on the snowy field by Superman, and the goddess of war will stand up and fight back.

In the snow, Gal Gadot wiped the corners of her mouth, perhaps in a flash of inspiration, and she suddenly smiled.

In the footage transmitted by the monitor, Murphy could see that Gal Gadot was clearly smiling smugly......

“cut！” Murphy immediately shouted to stop and said loudly, "All departments are back in place, and the reshoot will be made in ten minutes!" ”

On the set, an assistant immediately draped a down coat over Gal Gadot's body, and another assistant handed over hot coffee.

Gal Gadot tightened his coat first, took another sip of coffee, and turned to look at Murphy, the smile just now was not the original one.

Murphy walked over and said very directly, "Why are you laughing?" ”

"This is what I just ......" is nothing more than Gal Gadot's first official role, and she can't seem to find the right adjective.

"Improvisation?" Murphy asked.

Gal Gadot thought for a moment and nodded slightly, "I just suddenly felt that in this case, Wonder Woman might laugh." ”

Just as a director will suddenly jump into inspiration during a shoot, the improvisation of an actor is also a very common situation in the filming of the crew.

"Why are you laughing?" Murphy loves the effect, but wants to know what Gal Gadot thinks, which is often the dividing line between a great actor and an average actor.

Gal Gadot pointed to Chris Evans, who was communicating with the action director not far away, "Because that muscular man Diana off, she won't give up this fight easily, and she knows she's going to win." ”

She glanced at Murphy, could see the encouragement in his eyes, and continued, "While Wonder Woman is a pacifist, she is also a goddess of war, she fights to the end when it is time to fight, and she is an adrenaline-pumping warrior. ”

Murphy nodded, agreeing with Gal Gadot's statement, "Let's do it all over again." ”

He also advised, "This kind of performance can also be used in the scenes of the ending battle later." ”

It's working time, and Murphy doesn't say anything to Gal Gadot, he walks straight back to his workstation and filming resumes soon.

Like Superman, Wonder Woman in "Man of Steel" has changed a lot from the previous comics, and the Justice League "New 52" universe that DC Comics is preparing will also adopt Murphy's setting in the movie.

In this movie, Diana Prinz's outward occupation is a successful antiques dealer, very sophisticated and understands men, and in the "Wonder Woman" independent film that DC has begun to plan, it will tell the story of Diana Prinz's coming-of-age, describing how she became Wonder Woman, at that time she was very pure and even naïve, idealized the world and men, and did not understand how complicated everything was.

And Diana Prinz's background will change accordingly.

In Murphy's setting, he abandoned the setting of "made of clay and then brought to life by gods", and instead was born of Hippolyta, the queen of the Amazons, and Zeus, the god of the sky, which made her a demigod.

Wonder Woman in the comics has the strength to be defeated by Superman, and is described as having the beauty of the goddess Venus, the wisdom of Athena, the agility of Mercury, and even stronger than Hercules Hercules, and always wears a bracelet of divine power to resist physical attacks, a lasso of mantra that can force people to speak the truth, a headdress, and an Amazon sword.

Diana Prinz's background has changed many times depending on the comic book version, the old version set that the female warriors on Paradise Island are immortal, while the new version of Murphy does not, and Wonder Woman's longevity will come from the setting of a demigod.

In "Man of Steel", Wonder Woman will not have any romance scenes, and Murphy pulled this character into the film, not to get a vase to fall in love with the male lead.

As Gal Gadot said in an interview, the film will interpret Wonder Woman's independence, this character does not just appear for a relationship, she does not need to rely on men, but is still full of emotion and love.

To a certain extent, Murphy will emphasize the feminist significance symbolized by the character, as well as Wonder Woman's independent and tough stance.

Compared to the previous comics, Wonder Woman in this series will be tougher, and Murphy knows that this trait will make her controversial, but it will also give her more recognition and indispensable status.

It should be said that the hard-liner Wonder Woman, with the pacifist Superman and the cynical Batman, forms exactly a complementary triad of alliances.

After finishing the scene in the snowfield, Murphy led the crew back to Los Angeles and began filming in front of the green screen, and the scenes in the studio relied more on special effects technology than the previous location scenes. (To be continued.) )
