Chapter 93: Playing is a heartbeat

From the initial shocking change of roles, to the "big change" of the crew after the film's director Sam Raimi made an astonishing statement, to Sony's painful decision to announce that it would increase the film's shooting budget to a sky-high price of $200 million, every action of "The New Spider-Man" made onlookers "shocked". Perhaps feeling that these are not exciting enough, director Sam Raimi announced before the official start of filming that all the thrilling scenes in the film will be completed by Lin Mingyang himself.

Along with this announcement, there are also makeup photos of the new version of Spider-Man, in addition to the head mask and crotch position have been processed as necessary, the new version of the spider suit tailored for Lin Mingyang by the crew is basically a thin tights. The biggest function of this spider suit made of special fiber material is that it can tightly stick to Lin Mingyang's body, and then perfectly show the hard muscle lines of his whole body.

Lin Mingyang's Spider-Man surpasses Tobey Maguire's original version in terms of height and size. In the end, Lin Mingyang's more realistic sense of muscle lines won the approval of most fans, and everyone agreed that the new version of Spider-Man looks more powerful and more in line with the image of that superhero. But many people are worried about Lin Mingyang's practice of not using a stand-in to go into battle in person, and some media even suspect that this is just a means of hype by the crew.

In the face of doubts from public opinion, the explanation given by the crew was that they could not find a suitable stuntman. Although such an explanation is difficult to convince the media, they are not lying, and on the issue of the selection of Lin Mingyang's stand-in, not only director Sam Raimi has been a headache, but even the special effects artists have also felt very difficult.

It's not that you can't find a stuntman who is close to Lin Mingyang's body size, but because Lin Mingyang has been exercising since he was a child, the muscles on his body have established a very close connection, and the movement with a slightly larger amplitude is involved, and the lines of the entire muscles will change with the change of movements, but this change is the most difficult to imitate. Spider-Man played by Lin Mingyang is most recognized by the audience for the kind of muscle lines full of power, and it is precisely because of this that the flaws in the use of stand-ins will be obvious, and it is difficult to achieve the degree of being close to the real one by adding muscle filling to the clothes.

On the question of whether to use a stuntman, Sam Raimi must first consult Lin Mingyang's own opinion. Lin Mingyang, who crossed from the thrilling elevator accident, exuded a madness of adventure in his bones, and he already had the foundation of bajiquan and parkour, and those actions with a high difficulty coefficient were even easier for him to complete than some professional stuntmen, so he agreed without hesitation.

However, Lin Mingyang's decision was strongly opposed by his agent Ex.

"Do you know how dangerous it can be to shoot those shots?"

"One of the great things about making these kinds of films is that you can choose to shoot crazy stunts and do things that you would never get a chance to do in real life. I knew I was 100% safe because Sam Raimi and the action director would do everything they could to protect me, so I could just let it go, it was fun, and you don't think it's exciting? ”

"Stimulation?" Ex was really a little confused by Lin Mingyang, "You know that when Tobey Maguire was filming "Spider-Man", those dangerous actions were basically done by stand-ins, why should you take this risk, and then let everyone who cares about you be scared." ”

"Those stuntmen, aren't their families afraid?" Lin Mingyang is very puzzled, why everyone always likes to use their own feelings to restrain others, and at the same time, they must add a name to this constraint that makes it difficult for the other party to refuse.

Ex bitterly persuaded: "That's their profession, they rely on that to support themselves and their families, and you're different from them, you don't need to do those crazy things!" ”

"I'm also an actor, according to you, my life is worth more than them?" Lin Mingyang asked rhetorically: "I think the following truth is self-evident: all men are created equal, and the Creator has endowed them with certain inalienable rights, including the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. ”

"You don't have to recite the Reading Manifesto to me, but anyone who has been educated in the United States knows it. It was only recognized and pursued as a beautiful ideal, but there was never true equality in this society. Rich people can do everything they can just to make themselves live longer; But in Africa, some people are born hungry to death, that's the reality! ”

Lin Mingyang chose to be silent, and then Ex smiled self-deprecatingly, "Okay, I admit that I haven't changed this problem, knowing that you guy won't listen to persuasion, but you still said a lot of nonsense." ”

"I appreciate everything you've done for me, including this!"

"Okay, let's change the subject." Lin Mingyang's words moved Ex a little bit, and his heart softened, and he couldn't help but say a few more words: "I want to know if you play Spider-Man with your head on the ground?" ”

"How can you ask such stupid questions, only a fool would hit the ground with his head!" Lin Mingyang thought he was joking with himself, "This joke is not of a high level!" ”

"Sam Raimi told you to get bungee jumping, and you're in a blast!" Ex snorted angrily, "In my eyes, you are just as foolish as he is!" ”

"Sam Raimi wanted me to find the feeling of flying high in the sky from my training, in fact, at first I proposed a high-altitude parachute, which is the real flight, but he didn't agree!" Lin Mingyang couldn't finish saying his originally crazier thoughts: "I think Sam Raimi finally made the right decision!" "It's rare for Aix to say a good word for Sam Raimi, but he still has a grudge against the bungee jumping training arranged by the director." I've heard that in some parts of Asia, bungee jumping is transliterated as 'stupid pig jumping', and the people who make this translation probably think that if a person is not stupid, he will definitely not engage in such a 'tragic' activity. ”

"But I've heard that some extreme sports enthusiasts also put their wedding ceremony on the bungee jumping tower, and once the 'ceremony' is completed, they jump to show their love enthusiasm and loyalty. Instead of being called a 'stupid pig', people who go bungee jumping can get a 'brave certificate'. Besides, Jessica Alba will also participate in that training with me, and bungee jumping is a safer sport than those high-flying stunts! ”

"Certificate of Bravery?" Ex snorted disdainfully, "I see you're going for the 'pickle girl permit'!" ”

――――The Royal Canyon Bridge is located in a theme park near Canon, Colorado, and is claimed to be the world's tallest suspension bridge over the Arkansas River, with a deck 321 meters above the water. The Royal Gorge Main Line Railway, which is 46 meters high and 384 meters long, is paved with 1,292 planks to form a sidewalk.

The suspension bridge was built over a 1,053-foot-high canyon separated by the Arkansas River. Although there is an abyss at both ends, the sturdy bridge and well-designed boom can still carry vehicles on it. Such a picture is not shocking, but it can be called a must.

Lin Mingyang and Exx arrived one step ahead of the rest of the crew, and the staff who were waiting for them to enthusiastically act as temporary tour guides after Lin Mingyang met their request for a group photo and autograph.

"It's a toll bridge, but the bridge wasn't built for transportation purposes, but just as a tourist attraction, and since it was built, the bridge has been the most visited tourist attraction in Colorado. The French are building a cable-stayed bridge, which they claim is the tallest bridge in the world, but I heard that the main tower of the bridge is 341 meters high, but its driveway is only 270 meters above the water of the Tarn River below the bridge, so the Royal Gorge Bridge is still the tallest suspension bridge in the world. ”

Lin Mingyang stood on the bridge deck and looked at the entire canyon: "The scenery in the canyon looks spectacular, but unfortunately I can't see the panoramic view of the bridge. ”

"Thrill-seekers tend to bungee jump here, and when you jump, you can see the panoramic view of the canyon bridge, which is very cool!" The staff member was also a bungee jumping enthusiast, so he strongly recommended the sport to Lin Mingyang.

"I've heard that the height of the bridge makes this an attractive place to commit suicide?" Ex came out of nowhere, making the other party look embarrassed.

"The park's security guards will be patrolling the bridge non-stop to prevent this suicide from happening."

"Imagine a train passing through a bridge, and the bridge body suddenly explodes, and the back half of the train falls into the canyon, I think that scene must be very shocking!" Lin Mingyang suddenly gestured forward, and his thoughts startled everyone around him.

A security guard nervously covered his holster, and Ex quickly stood up and explained, "This guy is thinking about the plot of the movie, we are not terrorists, and he is not going to blow up this bridge!" ”

Seeing their reactions so violently, Lin Mingyang finally had some confidence that what Ex had said earlier should be true. There are always people who like to play suicide here, and it is estimated that some people were ready to play air self-detonation, otherwise they would not have made this group of guys so nervous.

But Lin Mingyang's idea just now didn't come out of nowhere, in his impression, there will be a very exciting action blockbuster in the future that will use this scene, and it seems that the bridge under his feet is the filming location of the film.

However, Lin Mingyang soon didn't have time to think about this problem, because Jessica Alba, who was dressed in a bungee jumping costume, was walking towards him, and when he saw Lin Mingyang, this beautiful woman with a slightly brown complexion smiled sweetly at him. The male animals around Lin Mingyang collectively swallowed their saliva, the beauties discharged, and their aura was really strong.

"Felix, I heard you arrived first, but why haven't you changed yet?" Jessica Alba and Lin Mingyang are both going to the bungee jumping platform, so they just talked while walking.

"I'm here to see the scenery!"

Jessica Alba asked cautiously, "Do you have a fear of heights?" ”

Lin Mingyang shook his head, "If I have a fear of heights, this movie can't be made!" ”

"To be honest, I'm still a little scared in high places, but I don't think it's a fear of heights!" Jessica Alba was still a little nervous thinking about the bungee jumping training that was about to begin, she had never thought of doing such a "crazy" thing before.

"You don't really need to worry too much, just like you didn't learn dance in the last movie, it's actually very simple, you just need a little more courage than others, just close your eyes and dance down!"

"Do you want to jump down from a high place like you do now?" Jessica Alba thought of a scene where she jumped off a building in the play, and she didn't feel much when she heard Lin Mingyang say it, but standing on the canyon bridge, she knew how much courage it took to really choose to jump, which made her a little apprehensive.

"That scene should have been filmed in the studio, and they're definitely not going to let you actually jump off the building!" Lin Mingyang explained to her.

"What about you?" Jessica Alba thought of Lin Mingyang from herself, "I heard that you are not going to use a stand-in, are you sure that you are not taking a risk?" ”

"I think you're thinking, why would this guy be so reckless!" Lin Mingyang said this somewhat self-mockingly, "In fact, those actions are not as dangerous as you think, those really difficult actions are all filmed in the studio, and then synthesized by computer special effects." ”

"And that includes the part where you flew me across the block?" Jessica Alba's real concern is still this issue.

"That part has to be filmed!" Lin Mingyang shook his head resolutely, in fact, the "must" in his words was to be put in quotation marks, and he asked to take the initiative to fight, a large part of it was because in this scene, he could fly around in the air with Jessica Alba in his arms.

Under the guise of filming, he openly took advantage of the "cheapness" of beauties, and held a stunner with a hot figure to experience the excitement of flying in the air, this kind of opportunity is not to mention ordinary people, even the superheroes in those amazing comics who are as famous as Spider-Man, and not everyone has such an opportunity, so fools will give up.

Jessica Alba was frightened by Lin Mingyang's words, and she asked worriedly, "Isn't that dangerous?" ”

"They will do a lot of protective measures while shooting, and most importantly, I will protect you while shooting!" Lin Mingyang patted his strong chest, "When the time comes, you just need to hug me tightly, and I'll take care of the rest!" ”

Jessica Alba nodded obediently, she didn't realize that Lin Mingyang's words just now had taken advantage of her.
