0231 [Bright like fireworks]
"Director, isn't that funny?" Allan. Peggy stood up and rubbed her legs, Leonardo wasn't much better just now, glad he was still holding on to the frame, not so embarrassed.
"Let me say hello, such a simple device, and wrestling. Ha ha! Shao Shuaijun was in a good mood and made a joke. When Dong Wei went to the experiment before, it was very simple and easy.
Allan. Peggy immediately shouted with disdain: "Simple? Director, try it, you don't have a backache when you stand and talk! ”
"Try it!" Shao Shuaijun felt that this thing had no technical content at all, and he wanted to take advantage of his majesty at the moment, and after climbing up with his hands and feet, Shao Shuaijun nodded his finger at Allen, "Look, the point of this action is that when you lift it with one foot, when you start the device, you must lean back in time!" If you are stupid, learn more! Leo, are you ready? ”
"Of course."
Shao Shuaijun nodded: "Very good, count down to the bottom of the three counts, start!" ”
One, two, three!
Click.
The device is activated and the angle is changed.
Smack.
Shao Shuaijun's center of gravity was unstable and he fell to the floor.
"Haha, haha." Alan who fell again. Peggy, ignoring her image a little, laughed out loud.
"Uh."
Shao Shuaijun's old face turned red and coughed for a long time: "What is that, my feet slipped just now, let's do it all over again!" Hey, who is that, turn off the mobile phone video for me, delete the video just now for me, be careful to deduct your salary......"
Shooting in Cardington was an interesting and imaginative affair. Although it was difficult to shoot the action in such a state of weightlessness, the actors and crew. Still full of joy. In particular, the excitement of technical problems being solved and replaced by simple devices is beyond words.
Some shots are even more unheard of.
For example, in order to achieve the effect of natural light, the outside is covered by a green curtain, and about 200 sets of electric lights are used inside, and the foliage is dappled through the shaking of the shutter, creating the most realistic and cool effect. Ideas popped up in the minds of the crew members. Then the impossible becomes possible.
Laughter and sweat. Intertwined in Cardington.
When the time gradually turned to mid-September, Cardington's filming was basically over. Leaving the crew to let the assistant director shoot the last few simple scenes on his behalf, Shao Shuaijun, Bob and the props team flew to Paris, France together. This will be the filming location for the rest of Inception.
"We contacted the City of Paris. It's a pity. Even if we promise to wrap up the whole street. We are responsible for repairing and compensating for damaged items. The city of Paris still did not allow us to blast in the streets, and also limited the sound to 104 decibels. "Art director Guy Handix. Days shook his head.
"How did you solve it?" Shao Shuaijun asked.
The footage here will be from the movie. Another cool scene, the entire street near the café was blown to pieces, and then the male protagonist Cobb and the dream builder Aredani were leisurely in the fragments. It is used to describe that nothing is impossible in a dream.
A prop master in Hong Kong explained: "We used liquid nitrogen instead of the blasting effect, because it was a dream, and the design was not smoky and could not make noise, so liquid nitrogen was a good choice." We have experimented many times, and the destructive power of liquid nitrogen is not inferior to that of bombs, and the effect is very good. ”
"So, I still have to ask, how to solve the safety problem of actors?"
"That's how we designed it, customizing about tens of thousands of the lightest plastic fruits, plastic tables, chairs, benches, and plastic plates, dishes, and chopsticks. The destructive power of liquid nitrogen is revealed, and at the same time, in the area of the table of the two actors, it is a safety island, and the directional blast can avoid their position. In fact, we have tried many times, and in the safety island, there is no impact at all. ”
"That's good."
Rules are dead, people are alive, and the Paris city government is not so welcoming to the crew of "Inception", there are many rules and requirements. But as long as you are willing to think, no problem can be difficult, and Inception is all about challenging the impossible!
After inspecting the layout of the café street, Shao Shuaijun and others went to the Eiffel Tower, not far from the Eiffel Tower, the Debil Hacam Bridge on the Seine, which is also a very interesting shot. Dream builder Aredani used two huge mirrors to conjure up a Debil Hackham Bridge, especially the contrast between the two mirrors, the effect of countless layers of mirrors overlapping, and there was no camera shooting at all, which was amazing.
In fact, this shot is quite simple, taking a real picture of two pillars without mirrors, and then digging out part of the mirror position in the picture, and then using special effects to fill in the picture just now, so that the layers are stacked, presenting a strange and spectacular scene of mirror contrast.
Not long after directing the work on the Paris side, the Cardington side was completely over, the whole crew rushed over, and then there was another round of intense shooting.
"Leo, Allen, you just drink tea here leisurely, don't be too nervous about the explosion effect, it's all fully calculated, and you will be unscathed."
appeased Leonardo and Alan. Peggy, the six cameras installed in various corners, have all been calibrated. Filming officially began.
"Demolition team, ready!"
"Ready!"
"Let's go!"
Boom! A fruit stand suddenly exploded.
Boom! Another floor exploded.
Bang bang bang!
Countless explosions shone like fireworks, and the streets were littered with debris.
In the midst of this, Leonardo and Allen's performance also slowly ended, despite the explosion, they could still drink coffee and chat peacefully, even the paper cups on the table moved a little.
"Perfect!" At the end of the shot, Shao Shuaijun applauded again and again. This set of shots is absolutely beyond imagination, Shao Shuaijun believes that it is more beautiful and magnificent than the original shots, because the crew under Shao Shuaijun has done more fully and more generously. Hollywood technology, Hong Kong experience, this is a real East-meets-West blockbuster.
Time flies, and the pace of shooting does not stop.
After filming in Paris, we went to Tangier, Morocco, and then the huge scene of Tangier's seaside, creating a magnificent "lost domain", which is where Cobb and Mel sink together, and the very edge of the subconscious, once trapped, it is almost impossible to return to normal space.
During this period, Scarlett, who failed to seduce Shao Shuaijun, seemed to be fighting fiercely with Gillenhill again. has been repeatedly photographed shopping together, and then hyped up in the media. Of course, there must be Mitchell behind this scene. Bruce's handwriting, such good news, how can it not be used for publicity.
Now that Inception has gone viral marketing on its website, it has attracted the attention of a large number of enthusiasts around the world, who have begun to analyze various dreams on the website, and even a large group of experts who originally disdained it have begun to discuss the possibility of dream union on the Internet.
Some media are waiting to see the jokes, some media are joining in the fun, and in any case, "Inception" became popular before it was released.
As the latest issue of The Hollywood Reporter put it: "The failure of the first commercial IMAX blockbuster "Night Watchman" seems to have taught Shao Shuaijun a lesson and began to focus on publicity. But to evaluate the success of a movie, it is always whether the movie is good or not. I hope Shao Shuaijun doesn't go further and further down the wrong path, otherwise, he will never be able to gain a foothold in Hollywood! (To be continued......)
