"Fury Road" officially started, hiding in isolation on the African continent to start intensive filming, as if the disturbances of the North American continent have completely nothing to do with them, in such a barren place, there is no interference from reporters, no news excitement, no rumors disturb, the whole crew quietly devoted themselves to filming.

However, the filming of this work was not so easy. From on-site metering to camera tracks, from prop scheduling to lens placement, from special makeup to styling styles, from actors to leading actors...... Almost every link is being severely tested, every day has to face new problems, and every day after the shooting will surface new troubles, the shooting process can be called difficult.

Not to mention the troubles caused by the vagaries of the Namibian desert. As long as a gust of wind blows, even if it is only a short fifteen minutes, the previous preparations are ruined, the lighting team has to re-meter, the camera team has to dig the track out of the sand, and the props team and makeup team have to be busy again, which is still the best situation. If there is a tornado, or cloudy weather, or worse, hail, then the shooting does not need to be considered at all, and the safety of the crew and camera equipment is the first element.

A month has passed in the blink of an eye, but now "Fury Road" has not even completed one-fifth of the expected filming, and the progress is seriously lagging behind. At this rate, don't talk about next year's summer file, it is estimated that next year's Christmas file may not be able to catch up.

In fact, for Chaos Pictures, when will "Fury Road" be released, it is not a decisive issue, even if the movie is released in the summer of 2007, as long as it can achieve a box office success, the problem can be solved, and it is only a matter of time before Chaos Pictures succeeds again. But Lance knew it wasn't that simple.

Warner Bros. and Sony Pictures' blockade of Chaos Pictures continues, and although it will not shut down the entire company, the filming of the next works is bound to encounter trivial stumbling behaviors. There is no need for the six major film companies to take action, as long as the wall-headed grasses in the circle who are accustomed to seeing the wind and the rudder create some small troubles for Chaos Pictures, it is enough to bear it.

As for the college's public relations, this is not to mention, although Lance gave up the "fruit hard candy" and chose the "berserk road", the whole behavior was neat and neat, without the slightest drag; But Lance knows better than anyone that with the current scale of Chaos Pictures, art films are still the main force, and they don't have the resources to launch two "Fury Road" at the same time, and the weight of the awards season is crucial. For example, the "Queen" that is currently being filmed, and the series of works that are ready to be put into production in the future, this is the case.

In addition, Ian is busy with real estate shorts, which is a huge black hole that will continue to eat away at Chaos Pictures' liquidity. Now they have made a desperate bet and plunged into this big gamble in the form of loans. Although Lance knew that this was an absolutely victorious war and he would definitely have the last laugh, the question was ...... What if Chaos Pictures didn't support itself to reap the fruits of victory, and would have fallen into the abyss? If "Fury Road" has been postponed until 2007, it is certain that the investment of 150 million yuan will be completely trapped and will not help anything.

Therefore, no matter from which point of view, Lance needs to launch a counterattack as soon as possible, and the best result is that "Fury Road" can catch up with the summer of 2006, respond to the doubts and criticisms in the circle as soon as possible, and completely reverse the passive situation of Chaos Pictures with a strong attitude.

Of course, Lance also knew that there was no way to rush the work, otherwise the quality of the work could not be guaranteed.

In Lance's plan, it was best for "Fury Road" to be filmed in five months. Due to Reims's special way of shooting, firstly, it does not require a lot of computer special effects, secondly, it does not require a lot of editing work, in short, it does not require a lot of post-production. Well, maybe they can catch up with the summer season in July or August. It's like the previous "Murder with a Knife" and "Sin City".

However, as time went on, the situation became more and more difficult. A month has passed, and the crew is still in the process of running in, and what's worse is that the weather is uncontrollable at all, and the deep sense of powerlessness makes people angry, but more irritable.

Today is the same again, the wind is blowing all day, flying sand and rocks, covering the clouds and the sun, not to mention shooting, even going out is an impossible task. The entire crew could only stay in the base, looking bitterly at the disaster picture outside that was comparable to the end of the world.

But not being able to shoot doesn't mean you can take a break, and each group has to prepare for the next shoot, and even if they stay in the house, everyone still rehearses relentlessly. After a month of running-in, everyone clearly understood how important the rehearsal is, and all possible contingencies must be taken into account. Especially the next scene can be said to be the most difficult scene since the start of filming.

"Fury Road" will next shoot the scene of the battle in the sandstorm, which is the scene that caused the most shock in the storyboard, because Lance intends to create a real sandstorm and complete the filming of the whole scene, and push that real shock to the extreme.

In this scene, the immortal old Joe chased after Ferosa, everyone was trying to intercept Ferosa, but they didn't expect to encounter a huge sandstorm, everyone knew that in such a sandstorm is nine deaths. However, in order to get out of the chase, Ferrosa drove the chariot into the sandstorm without hesitation, and then Nax followed into the sandstorm in order to make a contribution.

In the midst of the sandstorm, Ferrosa first used the power of the tornado to eliminate the other pursuers; But Nax relied on the lightness of his car to complete the overtake. In the face of the behemoth driven by Ferrosa, Nax's car is simply an ant shaking an elephant and does not pose any threat, so Ferosa didn't care too much, but what he didn't expect was that Nax had a paranoid fanaticism.

Nax opened the oil drum inside the car, filled it with gasoline, and then stopped it in front of the vehicle, and decided to ignite the pyrotechnics and detonate the entire vehicle, thereby destroying the engine parts of the vehicle, leaving Ferrosa without a carrier to continue moving forward, and had to be caught in place.

This scene is already very complicated, involving many on-site special effects, which are far more difficult than computer special effects. Because Lance wanted to create a majestic sandstorm effect, an overwhelming sandstorm stretched for hundreds of yards, with dozens of small and medium-sized tornadoes in their own formations and involvement, a bit similar to the scene of the tornado hitting Los Angeles in "The Day After Tomorrow", but much larger and more realistic. Therefore, Lance hopes to achieve this goal through the combination of on-site special effects and computer special effects, and in the filming process, any link of the coordination mistake may lead to a failure. For the crew, the pressure is unimaginable.

And the performance of this scene is not easy, the only thing to be thankful for is that this scene only involves three actors, Charlize, Michael and Lance. But even so, Ferrosa's anxiety and determination, Nax's fanaticism and paranoia, Max's vicissitudes and decisiveness, the performance space of each character is very narrow, but Lance has put forward super high requirements, and this scene alone is enough to outline the three characters.

What's more, after this scene, Ferrosa, Nax and Max will officially meet for the first time, and there will be a fierce conflict, which is not easy to film, which can be said to continue the pattern of the sandstorm scene; At the same time, the five models will also make their official debuts, and both Giselle and Miranda will have a chance to perform, and they will make their official debuts a month after the start of filming, and the tension is naturally unimaginable.

But the sky is not beautiful, the crew of "Fury Road" has been waiting for three days in a row, but they have never waited for the right weather to shoot, with the passage of time, the pressure is getting bigger and bigger, and everyone's mood is more or less irritable. Therefore, although it is impossible to put into filming now, every aspect of the crew is in full swing rehearsals, but no one knows how long they can hold on to such a high-frequency and high-intensity rehearsal.

"Lance." Michael's voice interrupted Lance's thoughts, and Lance took a deep breath and nodded, "My bad." He just looked at the wind outside the window, a little distracted, "When the time comes, we will artificially create a sandstorm at the scene, and the view will inevitably be blocked, in order to ensure safety, just control the speed of the car in first gear." We'll leave the rest to the VFX team, and then I'll make up some footage of the stuntmen to finish the edit. ”

"Lance, what if I take my mask off?" Although they had rehearsed many times, Charlize continued to dig deeper because she knew that characters needed to be played throughout, and that the devil was in the details, "Nax didn't wear a mask, and neither did Max. When I take my mask off, I get more space to perform. ”

Lance shook his head, "You're wearing a mask because Ferrosa knows that she's going to be on the run and you're going to face all sorts of situations, so she's well prepared. But Nax and Max are not. The simple explanation immediately made Charlize understand, "It's me who wants to go wrong." ”

"Are we going to rehearse the sparring part again? Put the chains up today. Charlize took the initiative to ask, because the next fight between Ferrosa and Max was very special, Ferrosa did not have a left hand, and Max was involved in chains and Nax, so this fight scene was specially designed, and the three of them were constantly rehearsing to ensure that there were no mistakes during filming.

Lance was about to nod, but Newton's voice came, "Lance, come here, let's turn the lights red again to create the feeling of a sea of fire burning in a sandstorm, you see if the color will be too eye-catching." (To be continued.) )
