During a break in filming, Jessica Alba went out of her way to find Murphy and introduce her new boyfriend to him. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Murphy, this is my boyfriend, Drake Git, a shortstop for the New York Yankees." She went on to say, "This is Murphy Stanton, Hollywood's best young director. ”

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Murphy."

The tall, strong man on the other side was the first to reach out his hand, and Murphy shook his hand, "Nice to meet you, Drake." ”

Although they were polite to each other, they lacked common topics, and although baseball was arguably the second most popular professional sport in North America, Murphy didn't know anything about it, and after a few pleasantries with Drake Gitter, there was nothing to say.

"I still have something to do." Murphy pointed to the other side of the set and said to Jessica Alba, "You take Drake around." ”

"Hmm." Jessica Alba nodded and said reassuringly, "I'll be rehearsing from tomorrow." ”

Murphy smiled and turned to walk to the set.

Back behind the camera, he had a few words with Fili Raschel, and then asked a Western-style sword master who was the action director to exchange do's and don'ts for the next action scene, and when he sat back in the director's chair, he saw Jessica Alba walking out of the studio with the shortstop named Drake Git.

Murphy sighed softly, to a large extent, he changed Jessica Alba's path as an actor, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he changed his fate, but Drake Gitter still appeared.

He wouldn't be stupid enough to interfere in Jessica Alba's private life, that's a thankless task, and since she chose Drake Git, she must bear the consequences.

The break ended quickly, filming resumed, and Murphy threw it aside and threw himself fully into his work.

In front of the camera, Sean Bean, who plays Ned Stark, and Miller Clayton, who plays Jaime Lannister, swing two big swords, but their movements are not coherent at all, and sometimes they are stopped by Murphy after only completing a slash.

Even if the shoot is occasionally lengthened by a few seconds, Sean Bean and Miller Clayton's movements are a little clumsy by today's Hollywood standards, but that's what Murphy wants.

But more often, the shots are the stunt doubles of the two.

The filming of the main event lasted nearly half an afternoon, ending with Ned Stark being impaled in the thigh by a stray minion.

In many epic films or TV series, the protagonist is always an enemy, even if he is besieged by countless people, he can calmly deal with it, even if it is a sneak attack from a dead end, it will not pose any threat to them.

But this approach doesn't suit Game of Thrones, and there won't be a super character like Legolas in this series.

To be precise, there will be super masters in the series, but good skills are only relative.

The former "A Song of Ice and Fire" has a nickname in North America: "A.Song.of.Kill.and.Fuck", in which Kill rarely has a chivalrous finish, most of them are torture and killing, and Fuck is rarely done. Love, most of which is rape.

The so-called super masters, in fact, their combat power is not much higher than that of ordinary fighters, and there are absolutely no scenes such as 10,000 enemies, so when the masters are in trouble, they are often miserably abused.

For example, Jaime Lannister, who is recognized as a super-first-class master, but because he was tired of fighting with Brienne, he was captured alive by several mercenaries and his hands were chopped off, and Brienne was almost ****.

Brienne is also a real Kingsguard, but when she is intact, she immediately despairs when she sees that there are 8 soldiers in the enemy, and she is bitten off the face by a mercenary.

The Hound is the king's number one personal guard, and he is also a first-class master, and his brother's personal soldiers are three-on-three, although he kills all the enemies, he is mortally wounded, and is abandoned by Arya.

This is also one of the reasons why many people are not interested in Daenerys Targaryen, because in this very realistic and abusive world, she is the only one who drives the plug-in all the way, is invincible, and pampered to develop and grow.

Of course, Jon Snow is also very buggy, no matter where he goes, everyone who hangs with him has fallen or been abused, but he relies on great luck to make it all the way up.

Having said that, no matter how close to reality, this is still a TV series after all, and it is impossible not to have the halo of the protagonist at all.

After the transition, the action scene continues, and Murphy begins to shoot some close-quarters combat shots, just like the previous shots, still using a large area of stunt doubles.

It is very simple to distinguish which scenes are done by the actor himself and the stunt double, and the action scenes with positive close-ups are often done by the actors themselves, and those who can't see the faces clearly are almost all stunt stand-ins.

Careful people can also find that whether it is a movie or a TV series, almost more than 90% of the time in an action scene, you can't see the face clearly.

The fight scenes of "Game of Thrones" are not necessarily difficult to shoot, but in order to show the real fight, it will inevitably cost a lot of money.

Because of the investment here, Murphy had to shoot relatively good action scenes at a relatively low cost, and he had learned a lot from his previous cooperation with Tiger Chen, and there were still not many problems in dealing with these action scenes.

Murphy uses the simplest way of shooting action scenes, which are mainly divided into two types, one type can be collectively referred to as a simple punch, and the other type can be named a ruthless blow.

Simple punch is a general term for the simplest way to shoot action scenes, which is widely used in the film industry around the world and works quite well.

For example, in David Fincher's "Fight Club", Edward Norton used this simple technique for his first punch, and then used this method in many places in the film.

In the filming of "Game of Thrones", all the actors were willing to do this kind of performance, because this kind of stunt doesn't require much skill, they just need to be able to accurately grasp the time, in the words of Sean Bean, "It's quite enjoyable to act." ”

Murphy wants to shoot a hard punch or sword, and the basic method used is very simple, just let an actor hit the opponent with an empty punch or long sword to the vital part of the opponent's head and neck.

Of course, it is not difficult for an outsider to guess this little trick at all, so the director can't choose the wrong shot, if that happens, the result will be ridiculous, and the illusion caused by the original borrowing will be completely ineffective.

To make this simple punch, Murphy used a telephoto lens, which compresses space, and a telephoto lens that makes the distance between objects appear shorter than they actually are.

Ruthless strike is also a general term for many shooting methods, which can be summed up simply, sometimes, with just a heavy punch or a long sword slash, the character directly knocks down the bad guy, cleanly.

All the action scenes filmed by Murphy don't last too long, and often a few rounds can tell the winner or loser, and he needs to hit this effect hard.

In order to get this kind of action shot, he, as a director, had to make sure that the actor's blow was very powerful and perfect

This also requires a change in the way the camera moves with the actor's punch or sword.

to show the speed and strength of this blow.

The angle of the camera is important, it must be close to the victim and facing the direction of the protagonist's attack, if a telephoto lens is used, the camera must not be too far away from the actors, and Murphy has to make sure that the camera is shooting just two actors at the same time.

However, the camera should not be too close to the actors, and if they get too close, the victim will take up most of the shot, and at this angle, the audience will feel that they are the victims, and they will not be able to feel the joy or cruelty of the protagonist's blow.

So Murphy always kept in mind that the attacker was the focus when shooting with this method, and using the center framing would work quite well when shooting.

As long as it is filmed well, the powerless blow in reality will become handsome and heroic.

Murphy's filming in Northern Ireland was exhausting, but the team remained organized and poised, and the crew's cameras never rocked for no reason, no matter where they were filming.

After filming the action scenes, the crew had some problems moving the transport to the glacier on location, and eventually had to choose to shoot a set of shots outside the hotel, and a nearby rock more than 1,000 feet high formed icicles, but none of this stopped Murphy's footsteps.

It's already December, and the weather in Northern Ireland is unforgiving, but the crew's work attitude and equipment operation make Murphy feel very happy.

Whether it is Northern Ireland, where the conditions are relatively harsh, or Malta, a small island in the Mediterranean with a pleasant climate, Murphy's crew, codenamed "Dragon", "Wolf" and "Lion", filmed much more smoothly than planned.

The show's theme, location, well-planned production and budget, as well as the skill of the cinematographers and the hard work of the actors were all key to the success of the show's work.

The busy work continued until around Christmas 2005, with the crew only giving two days off to those who did not work, and most of the other main cast and crew, still under Murphy's leadership, took Belfast as the center point and seized the current snow season on location.

Since Murphy couldn't go back to Los Angeles for Christmas, Gal Gadot, who would return to Israel at this time in previous years, did not fly to Tel Aviv, but followed the latest group of people from the crew to Belfast on a special charter flight.

As in the past, Murphy didn't pick her up at the airport, and Gal Gadot himself came directly to the location in the crew's car.

Unlike the previous one, this time there was another girl who came with Gal Gadot. (To be continued.) )
