Leaving the tent, the hot sun sprinkled directly on the skin, and there was a sharp stinging pain, and he raised his head to look at the sky, only to find that the gorgeous golden sun was really too arrogant for people to look at directly. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Lance walked to the front and looked at the desert not far away, it is estimated that it will be very difficult to shoot the elevation angle here in the hills, the angle of incidence and reflection here are too narrow, and the focus is probably confused, but I don't know if it will be better to be flat below.

With his leather jacket on his shoulder, Lance walked briskly forward, got into the modified jeep, and before he could start the engine, someone ran over quickly, "Lance! Reims! Turning his head, he was knocking on the window and was Colin Gibson, who teamed up with Jennifer Jonathan as art director, Colin's career has not been many, but the most famous "Desert Witch" has demonstrated his unique and sharp personal style.

Lance rolled down the window, casting a puzzled look, and Colin shouted, "Five minutes?" Lance beckoned directly, and after Colin opened the passenger seat and got into the car, Lance drove straight forward, "What's the matter?" ”

"After we discussed it, we decided to use two wheels at the rear, which not only needed to be a few numbers larger in size, but also had to increase the weight to really create the effect of the whole car diving." Colin held a blueprint in his hand and showed it to Lance, "In addition, we also decided to follow Max's Interceptor style in the original design of the front of the car, exposing the twin V8 engines and adding steampunk-style pipes. ”

Colin's main job in Fury Road was to design modified cars, and he designed more than 180 cars for the film, completing the most important piece of the puzzle in the style of the work. At this point, Colin is showing off the Gigama of the Immortal Old Joe - yes, Colin has a name for each car - this Gigama is built from a truck turf and a sedan cabin, and Colin stacks the two cars together to create a cool style with a double cabin, creating a domineering shape with two rocket tail fins, and more importantly, the two cars are Cadillac's 1959 Golden Empire, which has only been produced in the world for 975 units.

In order to increase the status of the king of the immortal old Joe, they have been discussing how to make the style of the gigama more powerful. Now, looking at the design drawings in Colin's hand, the combination of large and small wheels in the front creates a swooping shape, the overlapping body causes a strong visual error, and more importantly, the horizontal layout of the two engines, the air intake and heat dissipation pipes around to keep the engine running normally are more complex than the entanglement of the heart vessels, which makes the engine compartment simply can't fit such a behemoth, so Colin chose to extend the front of the car, and the entire power system is completely exposed, which is definitely a domineering side leak.

"Two pennants were added to the rear of the car, one black and one red, so that the flag could fly when the car was running wild in the desert." Lance added, Colin thought about it for a moment, then nodded and made an "ok" gesture, "What about the progress of the transformation?" Five days later, Immortal Joe was going to be driving this car, and Lance didn't want to delay the filming.

"We've finished the tires, the front part, give me two days." Colin didn't look up at all, still writing and drawing on his manuscript paper, as if he were sitting in the director's car and going to work, which was a matter of course. After he was done, Colin noticed the direction they were heading, "Are we going to see the interceptors now?" ”

The Interceptor, Max's car.

Lance nodded, "I need to discuss with the stuntman how to shoot the afternoon scene." "The crew's base is on the edge of the desert, and it takes a ten-minute drive from the base to the real filming location." What was the final modification like? ”

The Interceptor was one of the first vehicles to be modified, and they adopted the 1973 Ford Falcon, a muscle sedan that was not actually strong, especially when compared to the modified cars designed by Colin and others, which really looked a little petite, but Lance chose this one in the end, just to pay homage to the 1979 "Mad Max", because Mel Gibson was driving the car at the time. The car was equipped with weaponry, four-wheel drive, a new turf, and a monster engine to create Max's car.

However, the Interceptor was originally painted in black, and in order to create the style of the wasteland apocalypse, it was necessary to make changes, not to mention that this car had been with Max for many years, and in order to match Max's current style of fighting alone and struggling to survive, the car also had to be dilapidated, so they had to change the livery.

"Silver matte paint." Colin gave the answer, "And then old, rusty, I think it works better than a gigahorse, like a lone wolf in the desert." After the movie airs, the car will be a big hit. The confidence in the words was accompanied by the arrogance of no one in his eyes, and the fanaticism of undivided concentration.

Lance glanced at Colin, but another idea popped into his head, "Before each car is put into filming, take a series of photos of it, some of which will be released as a teaser poster, and some of which will be released after the movie is released to create a buzz." "Before the film even started, Lance was already working on the idea for the promotion.

The promotional strategy of "Fury Road" will be different this time, they can't be in Namibia and don't listen to what's going on outside the window, they need to keep updating the news, including shooting footage, movie posters, actor information, etc., and so on, to keep North America relevant and topical.

One step at a time, attracting the attention of different groups in different ways, pushing people's expectations to the extreme - Lance certainly knows the pros and cons of this approach, including "Troy" and "Sahara Cavalry" countless works have dug their own holes and buried themselves, but if "Fury Road" wants to detonate the box office, it must increase exposure, he needs to make the seemingly cold and strange steampunk, metal rock and roll into a representative of personality, aesthetic breakthroughs and novel curiosity, to arouse the emotions of young people, Break through the dimensional wall of niche culture and awaken the public's interest.

As the Hollywood media said, the "Fury Road" is going to be successful, and what Lance has to do now is to defeat these difficulties one by one. Cars, modified cars, luxury cars, luxury cars...... Not only is this not a niche at all, but it will also arouse the enthusiasm of countless male audiences - who are the absolute mainstays of the summer box office market.

"She." Colin's answer stunned Lance, and Colin repeated it again, "She." It's her, not it. Colin was correcting Lance's pronoun usage, and he used "she" to describe the cars, and just this detail made Lance know that this strategy was useful. "But do you have a professional photographer? I wanted the photos to be magnificent, and then the lads and I would write a brief and story for each car, how about that? ”

When Lance first drew the storyboards, he told the painters that each car has its own style, its own story, and even matches the personality of the characters. However, there is still a certain gap between the imagination of the painters and reality, and Colin has transformed it in the actual operation process to truly complete the puzzle piece of "Fury Road".

"Of course." Lance's answer was crisp and clear.

As soon as they spoke, they had already arrived at the filming base, and at this time, the entire shooting site was in full swing, and everyone was busy running quickly. Lance and Colin got out of the car and walked straight to where the interceptor was.

I have to say that even though the car in front of her is dusty and rusty, this not only does not lose her charm, but on the contrary, it also bursts out with unimaginable male hormones, muscular lines with tough and evil engines and submachine guns, and the arrogant, uninhibited, and vicissitudes of style permeate every detail. Even people who don't love cars at all can feel the pure beauty in them.

Colin immediately walked over and found Albert to discuss "taking hard photos", while Lance walked to the stunt team and said hello casually, "Andy." "Andrew-Jackson is the stunt team leader and Lance's stand-in," has the effective range of the rollover been calculated? ”

Andrew wasn't polite either, just glanced at Lance and said directly, "Lance, are you sure you want to do this?" We tested it and the car could flip two or three times in the air, depending on the situation, but the impact was so strong that we had to use a helicopter harness and then a helmet. That means ......," Andrew shrugged at Lance in embarrassment.

Lance nodded, he knew what that meant. This meant that after the car had stopped rolling, Lance had to remove all safety protections from his body before climbing out of the cockpit and into the show. If this is a clippable footage, then there is no problem with filming; However, Lance wanted to complete the shooting in one go, and the time left for Lance was very limited, so the difficulty skyrocketed.

"Let's try it first, call Hayden and Newton, we need to see the lights and the camera move." Lance didn't hesitate at all, and went straight to the rehearsal stage, all the situations were on paper, and only after the real experience did he know the specific situation, and only then could he know how the shooting would work.

Today is not only the first scene, but also an exploration and setting the tone for the subsequent filming.

At Lance's order, the whole crew immediately got busy, everything was so unfamiliar, that everyone was a little scrambling, which made the scene chaotic. Albert didn't have to look back to feel Lance's stern gaze, and he had to pick up the horn and shout, "All calm down!" This is not an official shoot, just a dress rehearsal. You don't need me to explain the meaning of the rehearsal, do you? Or do you want Lance to explain? The scene was silent for a moment, and Albert nodded, "Good!" It is a fact that we are not prepared now, so the rehearsal needs to be more serious, make up for all the shortcomings, and cheer up one by one! (To be continued.) )
