The sandstorm swept in the sky, covering the sky and dyeing the sky with a layer of foggy red, the translucent lake blue and the hazy orange red naturally mixed together, not only will not look chaotic, but another thrilling magnificence, in the line of sight endlessly, amazingly, at the end of the horizon but can not see the boundary between the sky and the earth, can only see a chaotic halo surging, the boundless expanse makes the human insignificance is pushed to the extreme, The unpredictable sandstorms turned into small tornadoes, gently rolled up, and then gently dispersed, blue and red like light veils constantly rolling, as if in the fantasy world of outer space, people can't help but look up and admire the beauty in front of them, the miracle of nature can always make words lose their color.

But ...... "Phew, phew." "It only took three seconds to enjoy the view, and almost everyone began to close their mouths and clean up the sand that had gotten into their mouths, not only their mouths, but also their noses and eyes.

Charlize looked back at everyone's embarrassment, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, which awakened her childhood memories, and she almost forgot the years she had spent in her hometown.

Involuntarily, Charlize raised her hand and touched her bare head, she shaved her head when she arrived in Cape Town, not only her, but Michael Fassbender also shaved her head, Lance also shaved a round inch, to be precise, the main cast of the entire crew did a bit of hairstyling. In order to create the right look, the hairstyling team, the costume team, and the makeup team stayed in Cape Town for a full ten days, and today they arrived in the Namibian desert and officially started shooting. Now that so many days have passed, Charlize is still not used to the feeling of bald head, and always feels cold on his head.

"So, how did you come up with the idea to shoot here?" Charlize looked at Lance beside him, a light gray T-shirt with a shabby dark brown leather jacket, and his whole temperament was tough, as if he was far from the gentlemanly and elegant man in front of the media. But if you think about it, how can a man who can put the whole of Hollywood together so toughly be as bright as he looks.

Lance pursed the corners of his lips, "Because this is the oldest desert on Earth." "And the chance of a mirage is the highest here." ”

Lance's attitude was serious, but Charlize rolled his eyes, not believing the argument at all, "However, shooting here is a smart choice." As a South African, Charlize knows the land very well.

The African continent has always been politically volatile, with the failure of many countries to stabilize their internal regimes after the 1994 genocide in Rwanda, severe natural disasters and a backward economy, making the continent the most barren of the five continents. It was obviously difficult for an American crew to shoot here, even worse than the situation of the "City of God" in Rio de Janeiro, and it was almost impossible without the support of the government and local people.

But Namibia, which has finally achieved independence after a long colonial period, is undoubtedly one of the best options. Since Namibia's independence in 1990, Namibia has been in a state of low-key and stable development, and although the economic situation is still poor, the situation has been relatively stable. What's more, the local indigenous people are very friendly and welcoming when choosing the Namibian desert for filming, and as long as there is the right guidance and respect for their beliefs, not only will the filming not be hindered, but they can also get their help.

Of course, the most important thing is that the cost of filming in Namibia is much lower than that of Morocco, and the level of safety is almost the same. This is one of the reasons why the American media are extremely shocked: Lance not only chose the right filming location, but also chose a cost-effective shooting location, which not only avoided the situation of being besieged by the six major film companies, but also avoided the dilemma of the "Saharan cavalry".

It can be seen that Lance was definitely not a whim, but premeditated.

In fact, what outsiders don't know is that George Miller first suggested that Lance shoot in Australia. On the one hand, Australia's environment is far better than that of Africa, and the shooting props and shooting experience are closest to those of the United States, which is not comparable to backward Africa; On the other hand, the Australian government has been encouraging Hollywood teams to come to film, and the tax policy has given many preferential policies, which is undoubtedly a big benefit for Chaos Pictures.

Unfortunately, the expedition stayed in many deserts in Australia for a long time, but the changing weather conditions made filming extremely difficult. Since Lance wanted most of the footage to be filmed on location, which was difficult to achieve in the weather of flying sand and rocks and strong winds, the crew had no choice but to abandon Australia and choose Namibia, which was more difficult but had more suitable weather conditions.

However, after all, the investigation is just an investigation, and there is a huge difference between the picture seen in the photo and the real situation. It's just that Lance didn't expect that the difference would be so big, and it could even be called a world of difference.

Now the sandstorm in front of me can only be said to be mild, and the visibility is at least 30 yards or more, but even in this case, it is not easy to complete the shooting smoothly, and the actors must complete the accurate shooting in the continuous interference, which is still the simplest part, and the overall scheduling of the crew, the accurate capture of the camera and other technical difficulties are really a headache. What's more, "Mad Max 4" - that is, "Fury Road", this work occupies at least 60% of the large scenes, and the overall control and the sensitivity of details have put forward higher requirements, even if it is extremely difficult to complete the shooting in the studio, and now you still need to face the influence of nature.

Aside from the occasional wind, even if the sun is shining, the hot sun, which can almost peel the skin, will become a severe test for the lighting crew, the camera crew and the cast crew.

Less than thirty minutes after arriving at the crew's makeshift base on the outskirts of the Namibian desert, Lance was already feeling the all-pervasive pressure rushing in. This is not Rio de Janeiro, although the filming of "City of God" was very difficult at the beginning, but the really difficult part is dealing with people, no matter how difficult it is, you can still find a solution; But now the "Fury Path" has to face the coercion of nature, and they are helpless but to pray for God's help.

Lance straightened his back, he had already expected all this when he chose the "Fury Road", although it was far more difficult than he imagined, but he did not worry, the soldiers would block the water, if he was afraid, he would not stand on the edge of the desert and enjoy such a beautiful view.

"Albert." Lance turned his head and shouted, "Call the heads of each group, and the actors as much as possible, and we'll have a group meeting." ”

"There's not enough space in the tent...... Albert called out to Lance, who was about to turn his head. This is the base camp of the crew, and the largest tent is used, but it can only accommodate a maximum of thirty people, and any more will be crowded. This is not only the largest crew that Chaos Pictures has ever been in charge, but this is also the largest crew that Lance and Albert have ever managed, and even the "day after tomorrow" can't be compared, so they both lack some experience and can only cross the river by feeling the stones.

Lance turned his head and looked around, "Call all the ones as much as you can, and it's better for the characters who have lines to come over." We opened the curtains and windows of the tent and arranged some people at the door and on both sides. "In fact, the open-top window has three layers, one layer of mesh and two layers of plastic, as long as the plastic window zipper is opened, it can be ventilated, and the sound inside can naturally be heard outside." We need to have a wrap-up session. ”

Albert immediately understood what Lance meant, the filming plan of "Fury Road" was too crazy and too difficult, not only requiring the unity and cooperation of the entire crew, but also the dedication and cooperation of the actors.

After watching Albert turn away, Lance found Percy again, "Dig out all the storyboards for the first act." Then Lance turned to look at the main actors in the tent, "Everyone pay attention, you first find a place in the front row to stand, if you are in the middle, sit cross-legged on the ground," the ground is also sand, "If it is on both sides, don't block the view from the window, and then have a whole crew meeting, it is very important." ”

After finishing speaking, everyone looked at each other, obviously they hadn't entered the state in time and were not very familiar with the situation. Emma was very casual, and found a place directly in front of her, and sat down cross-legged, and Charlize and Michael also sat next to Emma; Giselle, Adriana and others standing next to them were a little dazed, they didn't even have the opportunity to shoot a movie, let alone a crew meeting, so they couldn't find the direction for a while.

While they were hesitating, Percy had already walked in with a storyboard, followed by Hayden, Edgar, Newton and others, and the tent immediately began to be bustling with activity, and in a blink of an eye, the empty tent seemed to have become extremely crowded.

Giselle hesitated for a moment, walked to Lance's left-hand side, found a gap in the corner by the window, and stood there; Miranda found a folding chair at the table on the right-hand side and sat down; Adriana and Candace thought for a moment, and both stood close to the wall next to the table. Of course, they don't want to sit on the floor if they can, it's a really ...... Primitive, moreover, doesn't seem to be very hygienic. (To be continued.) )
