A crew meeting lasted for three hours and still didn't end, the photography team, makeup team and costume team had all left one after another to prepare for the filming of the first scene, but the lighting team, props team, actor team, etc. all stayed behind and asked their questions.

In fact, there have been meetings of the crew behind the scenes in Cape Town before, and there have been at least three meetings of all the leaders of each group, not to mention the meetings that Lance held separately with each group. But today, the crew arrived in the Namibian desert on the first day, and the previous situation on paper had to be adjusted, plus the "executors" who attended the meeting for the first time, the problems were naturally endless.

"Lance, do you tend to prefer the style of Westerns?" Newton had actually left once, leading the lighting team outside for nearly two hours, and now he was back and forth. The terrain of the Namibian desert is very flat, almost endless, even the many rolling hills do not affect the absolute viewing angle, such lighting conditions have many similarities with American western movies, so Newton asked.

Lance shook his head, "Full." He raised his hand and pointed to the storyboard, "See?" I wanted the colors to be full, colorful, like knocking the palette over, everything from props to costumes to makeup would be vibrant, and I needed lighting to bring them all out. "Most of the lighting in western movies is broad, gloomy, lonely, and hollow, creating the effect of a desert smoke, but this is not what Lance is after.

Newton's face was full of question marks, "But, isn't this the end of the wasteland?" "Shouldn't the end of the world be desolate and depressed?

"Orange. I need the picture to be orange. Lance shook his head again in disapproval, and tapped the whiteboard behind him with his right hand, "Newton, didn't you hear clearly?" Orange, I want warm tones. "They had set up a variety of plans for the lights before, but after arriving in the Namibian desert, Lance overturned all the plans and came up with a new idea, he walked to the window of the tent, "You see, the sky is lake blue, then mint blue, light blue, blue and white, ......" Following Lance's words, Newton also cast his eyes outside, under the sky, the faint red went from light to deep, and then connected to the ground, and a large area of red spread out in the sight, which was really visually impactful," I needed to strip the world out of the bizarre and take on a metal-rock, steampunk look. ”

Newton finally understood, "You mean, like the 'City of God,' but with a little more contrast. "It's the same natural light, and it's shot differently at different latitudes, at different times, at different locations, and from different angles.

At present, only "City of God" in Lance's works uses natural light, but even so, a large number of indoor scenes in that work also use artificial light sources, not to mention that almost the entire work of "Killing with a Knife" is artificially created light. This time, the Fury Road will be all about natural light, which has become unrealistic since their previous ideas came to the Namibian desert, so Lance intends to take advantage of the red desert to present the metal rock style in a gaudy and unmistakable way.

Lance snapped his fingers, "Now we're finally on track." ”

Newton let out a long breath, "I knew you weren't going to make it easy for me." "Natural light is the biggest challenge compared to artificial light sources.

To put it simply, artificial light sources can ignore the real time and create an imaginary light source at any time point you want; But natural light sources have to race against time and against God. For example, Newton, according to Lance's request, measured that the light source between 2 and 4 p.m. every day was the most suitable, which meant that the crew only had two hours a day to shoot, and if they missed it, they missed it, and they had to start again the next day - and the premise was that the weather was beautiful.

Not only does this mean that the crew can't afford to make mistakes, but it also means that the filming process has to be meticulous, and any one ng can lead to a full day of preparation falling short.

Newton shook his head, but he also knew that if he shot in Lance's way, not only the lighting team, but also every aspect of the crew would be tormented, and compared to the lighting team and the camera crew, the director team and the actor team led by Lance were the heavy responsibilities. So, Newton didn't continue to complain, turned around and left, beckoned his teammates, and began to get busy again.

It is not possible to test a natural light source without 30 minutes, and sometimes it is normal to spend an hour or two evaluating a natural light source. So, they don't have time to rest.

Before Newton left, Giselle and Adriana walked up with an arrow, blocking Lance's way, and not far behind him, Miranda and Candace also stared at each other. Lance didn't show too much emotion, and directly threw a sentence over, "What's the problem?" ”

Adriana opened her mouth, "Uh......" But when she thought about it, her brain was blank, and she didn't know what to say, she looked back at Giselle, but Giselle was also at a loss, and said embarrassedly, "I don't know much about actors, but ...... Everything just now sounded so complicated that I couldn't keep up. ”

Adriana also nodded again and again, it was really not easy to make Adriana, who was not afraid of heaven and earth, show such a frightened expression.

Charlize chimed in, "You want to shoot in one go, but at the moment, we actors don't have any references, we don't have any performance framework, and that's a difficult thing. We don't even know what the show you're asking for is. This time, in addition to Michael and Emma, more than a dozen actors nodded their heads in unison.

"Rehearsal, that's what rehearsal does." Lance was confident, "If nothing else, we can only shoot at most every day...... Four hours. "The whole story of 'Fury Road' takes place over the course of three days, two-thirds of the scenes take place during the day, so the natural light available is very limited, but four hours is a conservative estimate, and Lance doesn't know anything about the weather in the desert at the moment, and if the weather is bad, there may be even less time for official filming every day." In addition to the four hours of work, we had to rehearse for the other ten hours. That's your learning time. ”

The camera crew needed to rehearse the camera's track, the lighting team needed to plan the natural light source for each day, and the props and special effects team had to shoot the next day to the millisecond every day...... As for the cast crew, they need to ensure that they meet the director's requirements and dedicate enough performances without cameras. Since Lance is a director, producer and actor, he can't rehearse with the cast all the time, so he has to work longer hours outside of class.

As you can imagine, the filming of "Fury Road" was not only long, but also hard.

"After a while, I was alone in all the scenes of the first act. You watched from the sidelines, starting from the rehearsal stage, how the teams cooperated, how the actors prepared, how the filming went, and once you had a general idea, it was your turn to get to work. You must know that in the crew of 'Fury Road', there is no such thing as whether there is a shooting task, and those who do not have a shooting task must rehearse, ng once, it may be a million! Lance's words startled Candace, and she actually hiccuped, Charlize glanced back at Candace and showed a helpless smile to Lance, "You scared everyone." ”

These models, none of whom have no acting experience, are now facing such a problem, even Giselle's expression is a little stiff at this time.

Lance shrugged nonchalantly, "For me, too. "He's the leading actor, and the task is far heavier than the other actors," What's more, I warned you during the audition. After saying that, Lance took a step towards the door of the tent, this time, he could finally get out, no one called him again, but Lance thought of something, took the initiative to stop and turn around, "Michael......" looked around, and then landed on Emma, those crystal clear eyes looked at Lance expectantly, unlike the nervous and stiff expressions of others, Emma was not only not afraid at this time, but also eager to try, as if she had been looking forward to this day for a long time, "And Emma." Lance pointed out, "You're more familiar with my habits, now you can start rehearsals, play more with each other, and ask questions whenever you don't understand." It's better to ask questions now than to start filming later. ”

This time, Lance never looked back, and left the tent, leaving everyone standing on the ground looking at each other.

Charlize looked at the actors who were already frightened, not only the models, but also the other supporting actors with shooting experience. I originally thought that it was just a commercial film, just like the "day after tomorrow", and it didn't take any effort at all, but it turned out that the difficulty of filming this work was even more exaggerated than that of art films that won purely by acting, and the heavy pressure was overwhelming.

"Has he always been like this?" Charlize looked at Emma and asked curiously, "Such a ......"

"Bastard?" Emma picked up the conversation and raised her final note. Charlize thought about it seriously, couldn't help but chuckle, and nodded again and again, "Yes, such a bastard, his arrogant and stubborn appearance just now makes people really want to kick him hard." Charlize's words made both Michael and Emma burst into laughter.

Emma nodded, smiling, "yes, he's always been such a bastard." To be precise, it's normal now, and when we get to the filming stage......" Emma shrugged her shoulders and exchanged glances with Michael, and both of them thought of Tom Cruise's shameless appearance when he was scolded, and then saw Miranda and Candace with pale faces, and Emma showed a sly smile, "But you're going to love that feeling." ”

Miscellaneous...... What the? (To be continued.) )
