Chapter 56: Amazing Efficiency

It is different from the big dart rider who walks alone for thousands of miles with a cigar in his waist and a revolver, and it is also different from Rambo's shirtless slaughter.

Max Payne, directed by Caesar, was barefoot and armed with two guns, and shook everyone on the set with a solo dance under the moon.

If the media person who followed the documentary throughout the whole process had not signed a confidentiality agreement with a huge fine, I am afraid that it would not have been more than an hour, and the video would have been broadcast on major TV stations.

Because of curiosity, the set was a little chaotic, and when Caesar saw it, he simply asked the staff to line up to come over and collectively visit the simple samples of the live splicing.

Especially Willis himself, when he saw this rough cut of the picture through the monitor, it can be said that he was drunk in an instant.

The larger-than-normal proportions in the sky, the huge moon, the cold moonlight spilling in through the floor-to-ceiling windows, silhouettes, double guns, close-ups, slow motion.

The empty compartment hang-up sleeve of the 1911 empty magazine is jammed, and the button causes the magazine to fall naturally due to gravity, insert a new magazine, and press the empty compartment hang-up handle to reset the sleeve and reload the bullet.

Just a simple set of reloading shots that include hand movements and close-ups of pistols, combined with Willis's close-up of his face, under the strange effect of slow motion, allows Willis to see the male masculine beauty of the protagonist in the picture from the perspective of a bystander.

At this time, he had to admire Caesar's ability, in fact, anyone can be the protagonist in this scene, as long as it is not an actor who reminds and looks too much to handle, as long as he is an actor who can seriously implement Caesar's instructions, this is definitely the effect when filmed.

Knowing this, Willis felt extremely happy.

Although Caesar is a rookie director, he is obviously a director with the ability to praise and make everyone popular.

Only God knows why Caesar found him and paid for him to go to a seal camp for special training.

Willis knew that in fact, as long as he tried to play the role that Caesar gave him, he would repay him for his kindness.

This director of his own is one of those people who stand at the pinnacle of humanity, and it can be said that there is no shortage of anything.

Caesar's inadvertently revealed this hand, which made the atmosphere of the entire set relax for a moment.

The staff genuinely admires the director, and the environment and atmosphere of the work are completely different from being cautious because they are afraid of losing their work.

Stallone is much younger than Eastwood, and his brain spins faster. He frowned and thought for a long time, and suddenly asked Caesar, "This style should come from your comics, right?" Vice City trailer? ”

"That's right, didn't that set of magazine-changing shots remind you?" Caesar was communicating with the prop master and took the time to turn around and answer.

"And that huge moon and black-and-white silhouette." Eastwood also remembered the impressive trailer.

"Why are you so obsessed with those strange details? For example, slow motion and close-ups are used to zoom in on the action of changing magazines, as well as the ejection and drop of cartridge cases. Stallone asked Eastwood, the Delta consultant and the photographer on the spot.

Caesar looked at them with a serious face, a look of "I want to know", and really thought about it for a long time.

"First of all, curiosity is a haunting thing, many people have used guns for half their lives, but they don't even know how they work. This kind of lens will satisfy the curiosity of many people. ”

"Secondly, I think it might be some kind of fetishistic fetishism at work, right?

At this point, in fact, ancient and modern, East and West are the same.

For example, if the battle in the novel or movie is a cold weapon battle, then the writer will often describe in detail what the weapon looks like, how beautiful and sharp, and if it comes from the hand of the famous blacksmith, it will be explained in detail through a narration or the mouth of a certain character.

The reader or viewer will unconsciously be substituted into it, and produce something like, wow! It's such a powerful weapon, so beautiful that it seems to be, such a mental activity.

So what to do now with the sword for 1911? Do you want the protagonist to introduce himself to the camera and say how awesome my two guns are, which was made from Colt, and then report the parameters to the audience, and attach a commentary on how many years they have been used and the failure rate is zero?

This is naturally impossible, but as a warrior, weapons must be the most important companion, and it cannot be overstated.

If you think about this, then this kind of close-up plus slow motion is not difficult to understand. These close-ups and slow-motion are all concretizations of the protagonist's love and trust for getting shot in hand.

These slow motions and close-ups are, to put it bluntly, a hymn to the weapon in the protagonist's hand, a kind of continuation of the protagonist's mood.

The audience resonates with this kind of shot, sharing the power of the protagonist and his weapons. ”

The layman is confused, such as the prop master who didn't go far. But when the master heard this, he was a little moved.

For example, the former Delta consultant was particularly emotional, he had used a gun for many years, and every time he maintained a gun after the war, he wiped the gun in his hand, and he did have the feeling of holding a living creature in his arms.

Many fighters named their guns, and for this reason. As a warrior, and the feelings of the gun in his hand, I can't really praise it enough.

No wonder he felt a kind of hot and boiling feeling when he saw Caesar's set of slow motion, and his feelings were to use this kind of lens to arouse his feelings for his love of guns.

Stallone and Eastwood feel that Caesar's statement has opened a new door from the perspective of industry knowledge.

Media people are itching because of the confidentiality agreement, but today's shooting still gave them a glimpse of Caesar's strength.

is worthy of being the producer of cartoons such as "Transformers" and "Sin City", and he is really extraordinary when he is the director of action movies.

Unexpectedly, Sin City is just a trailer, but it has become Caesar's iconic work.

In fact, there are always reporters and fans who take the opportunity to ask Caesar when the feature film of Sin City will be released.

Caesar has always said that the technology is immature, and it is indeed immature.

Caesar's filming is going fast, and he's a real fast guy.

As long as the actors are strong and the staff are not passive and slacking off, Caesar can achieve a high speed that other directors can't.

And absolutely quality and quantity.

The production representatives of MGM and Fox were stupid when they were on the set. You know, because Caesar is a rookie director, the two companies sent their own executive producers at the bottom of the box.

What kind of director has not seen two old bones, and what kind of set has not been experienced.

But Caesar's efficiency made the two of them jaw-dropping.
