Chapter 241: The Ellen Show

At night, in a corner of the deserted city of Detroit, a lot of extras gathered under the lights, and almost the movie "Zombies Out" invited a total of 7 makeup artists from Rnm special effects makeup company, as well as 21 makeup assistants, in order to shoot this night scene, almost two and a half days to prepare.

This scene is mainly about the leading actors and supporting actors living in a building, the building has begun to encounter an ambush, they are beginning to prepare to transfer, the shot is mainly on the street, encountered a group of zombies chasing, one of them has to shoot, or even to throw out the gas canister, of course, these are all made of props, zombies are definitely not as many as after the film, there are probably more than 120 extras.

At night, more than 100 people, including their bodies, were made up into very terrifying, disgusting-looking zombies, all they had to do at the moment was to run, in front of the camera, according to the designated position to start running.

"Next up is a series of shots, and everyone will try to be able to say at least 12 small shots tonight."

Wang Yang walked back and forth on the set, there were a lot of people in the crew, it was beneficial to film abroad, and media reporters would not interfere too much, unlike cat and mouse in China to be kept secret.

"Director!"

"Hey! What's wrong? ”

"I'll let them run over this side later, and I'll give him a ...... to walk through like this."

……

……

The night passed almost like this, the process of filming, for Wang Yang. It was as if he had a progress machine installed in his head. Every day is according to the plan. is carried out in an orderly manner, filming is not to let your head messy, and it is very necessary to stay awake at all times.

There is a director's assistant job in the crew, which is definitely a very unusual company, and the people who can be the director's assistant are generally people with good memory, who can help the director remember the storyboards, or even a human computer. When the director needs to find a certain shot or a certain clip, he can quickly find out.

Movies are all shot piecemeal, a movie of more than 100 minutes, or even two hours, may be shot with at least 2,000 or so shots pieced together, of course, when shooting, as much material as possible is filmed, and then at the end, the best shot will be selected. combined into a complete movie.

If you succeed in making a movie, you are actually the first step to success. In a successful movie, every link is extremely important, so when she is in the crew, Hongyue can obviously feel that her husband seems to be a different person, that is, not only a workaholic, but also a lot of temper.

Fortunately, no matter what country it is, the directors faced by the actors are all varied, and when Wang Yang scolds, he is naturally scolded by the country, and he is also talking about his hometown, which can also ensure his image and not affect the mood of the actors.

No matter what kind of director he is, whenever he is concentrating on one thing, sometimes he feels a kind of powerlessness, powerlessness, and inability to control the whole scene, and he will naturally have a crazy mood.

On this day, Wang Yang had a big explosion on the set.

"Chris. Tuck! Can you focus a little bit and don't make some low-level mistakes and not even find the shot? You're wasting our time! ”

The first time, the black actor Chris who played a supporting role. Tucker is out of the picture because of the position, which means that there is no him in the mirror position, and Wang Yang can't see him in the monitor.

Chris. Tucker is a well-known actor in Hollywood, at least he has a supporting role in many movies, and most of them are comedy, and this time he is still playing an actor who can amuse the audience at a critical time in the biochemical apocalypse, and can be cool.

And yet today Chris. Tucker's performance was terrible for some reason, with a low-level mistake in the drawing.

There were three digital cameras on set, one of which was a high-speed moving camera and the other two were stationary cameras.

The cables for the three cameras were stretched for a long time, stretching all the way to the side alley of a building, and basically all the staff were on this side, except for a few lights or something on the other side.

The plot to be filmed is to drive down the street, and then zombies rush out from all directions.

And the small shot of this plot is the actors coming out and getting into the car.

In fact, the final cut of the lens is about two seconds, but when shooting on the spot, it is natural that you need to shoot very completely, otherwise it will be very difficult to choose when you cut it later.

The director is like this, it is better to have more good things than to lack them.

I remember that Brother Cheng Long once said that when he was filming, the director was happy because he fell well, and asked him to fall a few more times, and at that time, one fall was just a few dollars.

As for now, Wang Yang really discovered that even if there are a lot of martial arts halls or something in Huaxia, there is still no Cheng family class like Cheng Long who makes movies and doesn't want to die, the reason is very simple, the special effects have become worthless, and the cost of the dragon and tiger master, that is, the special effects actors, is even more expensive.

According to the rules of the economic market, it is natural that the older and more expensive things will be eliminated.

"Book that mother B, you black fart by the big wheel 8 wow, fly seeds under your eyes!"

"Little hey, that's a mistake!"

"It's X, your mother's X!"

"Lack of West, A lack of West, Bad Pen! Fuck! ”

Hongyue touched her nose and watched her husband smashing cups and kicking chairs around, and all kinds of hi words mixed with Chinese, including English, came out, and the smell of gunpowder was extremely strong.

Everyone stared at each other and didn't speak, and they were all stunned.

In fact, to be honest, it is very normal to make a movie once, or even 3, 4, or 5 times, but if you have made more than 20 films, you haven't done it yet. In fact, everyone will have a problem with their mentality.

The director himself will always hold back his anger. Naturally, a tipping point will be reached. Even if you have a good temper, you will get angry.

Generally speaking, Wang Yang is still better, more directors are teaching actors with heads and faces, and there are more people like him who point fingers and scolds Huai, for example, if this is a blockbuster and the actors are not newcomers. He can't just curse casually.

The reason is very simple, that is, there are various trade unions on the side of the magnesium country, and if the actors feel that they have been insulted, they can complain to the union, and even directly call a lawyer to defend their rights.

In short, it's a hassle to compare.

After Wang Yang finished scolding, he didn't plan to shoot anymore, he just put down his hat and left directly in the car, of course, the red moon in the back was a little bitter, she at least had to maintain the normal end of the crew. Including if there is a need to maintain the scene, there will naturally be security personnel. and some of the crew stayed to guard, otherwise a camera would be rented for thousands of dollars a day, and the value would be hundreds of thousands of millions, which would be easy to be targeted by others.

"Where have you been?"

Hongyue was busy, and she hurriedly called her husband.

"I'll go back to the hotel first."

"Oh, I'll get it here, I'll be back in a minute."

"Well, tell them, three days off."

"What?"

Hongyue couldn't believe her ears, she had a three-day holiday, how could this be!

You must know that every day you stop means that the cost of the movie has increased by at least 300,000, and three days at least millions of costs have increased, because actors and everything have a contract period, and it is impossible that because you don't want to shoot, it will not be counted as a day, and within the contract period, there will be charges.

"It's okay, I'll control it, they're all too long, let them relax, and the next shots to be taken, my requirements are not so high."

"Oh......"

Wang Yang was thinking about one question in the hotel, that is, whether "Zombie Out of the Cage" was worth putting too much effort into crafting.

The film was launched in December 2007, and then it was busy until February 2008, with a Spring Festival break in between, but almost all of it was a process of preparing for the movie.

If the normal shooting cycle of a movie, that is, from the script to the release of the movie, is more than a year, it will basically be a relatively slow rhythm.

But "Zombie Out" obviously shouldn't be a slow-paced movie, for the simple reason that his filming abroad is not airtight in China.

Wang Yang, who is of Chinese nationality, came to Magnesium Country to film, and then he will naturally release "Zombie Out of the Cage" in China.

Of course, there is no restriction level in Huaxia, so Wang Yang finally has to cut out two versions, and the magnesium version is naturally based on various actions, blood, violence, etc., which are more exciting pictures, but in the Huaxia version, it is in the thinking of human nature and the struggle for survival in the apocalypse, which fully interprets the meaning of Wang Yang's own script.

In the foreign version, it is already named "Dayofthedead", and in Huaxia, Wang Yang has not yet thought about it, and he may eventually have to watch the content after the film, and after watching it, it will be easier to touch the association of some names.

"When you are angry, you hurt your spleen, and when you are angry, you drink."

As soon as Hongyue returned, he saw him drinking beer and pouted.

"What do you do without drinking?"

"Do something more meaningful, huh." Hongyue's look of begging to hook up also made Wang Yang's nose feel hot.

The cause of creating people has a long way to go, and both of them feel that they have to work hard together.

……

……

"TheEllenDeGeneres Show", an entertainment interview program on NBC, was sent to Meng's recommended actor for an interview in the past two days.

Wang Yang excused himself, he was going to have a good rest during the three days of this vacation, how could he choose what program to be on, it was also a waste of time, and he was tired of running back and forth.

To be honest, Wang Yang doesn't really want the actors to go to the show, he wants to fly to New York, so back and forth, although it can't delay time, but it will definitely affect the quality of this vacation.

They are all starring, and there are very few real actors needed in this movie, and all the others are the roles of zombie passers-by, because it is impossible to establish a large number of survivors in the first movie in the early days, so it is basically a situation of running the map to survive, looking for resources everywhere, or looking for relatives as a support point, in short, it must not make the movie boring.

EllenShow, translated into Chinese, is Ellen Show.

The famous talk show, host Alan . DeJanness.

"Is there anything particularly interesting about you guys starring in this movie?"

Charlize. Theron smiled: "Anyway, although it's not the first time I've come into contact with horror movies, it's the first time to star in a survival movie like this, Director Yang is a very talented person, and I have gained a lot from starring in this movie." ”

"Scarlett. Johnson, our little sweetheart. ”

Scarlett. Johnson, who is also blonde and blue-eyed, is slightly younger, nine years younger than Charlize and is 24 this year.

Alan smiled: "Scarlett, you seem to have started acting since you were a child, filming TV and movies?" ”

"yes, yes, I started acting professionally when I was 8 years old, and I remember the name of my first movie."

"Okay, let's take a look at our Scarlett clip."

Alan and everyone turned to watch TV.

The TV began to show some footage from that year.

"In 1994, Scarlett starred in her first film, North."

In 1996, Scarlett played a little girl who lost her parents in the film "Manny and Rowe", and was nominated for Best Actress at the "Independent Spirit Awards" that year. In 1997, at the age of 13, Johnson played a little girl who lost her parents in "Mannie Sisters", and her performance was critically acclaimed and nominated for Best Actress at the Magnesium National Independent Spirit Awards. In 1998, she got the title of director of the great Robert Brown. Redford's favor asked her to play the heroine Christine in his new film "The Horse Whisperer". Scott. Thomas's daughter - a girl who lost a leg. Despite the film's mixed reviews, Scarlett's performance was widely acclaimed, with a box office bomb nomination for Best Supporting Actress and multiple Star of Hope titles. ”

In 2003, she won the Venice Film Festival and the British Academy Film Award for Best Actress for the film "Lost in the East". and with "Lost in the East" and "The Girl with a Pearl Earring", she was nominated for two Best Actress awards at the Golden Globe Awards. In 2007, after the release of "Nanny Diary" starring Scarlett, it was also well received for her wonderful acting skills. ”

After an introduction, Alan couldn't help but say in surprise: "As far as I know, Scarlett, you're only 24 years old this year, right?" ”

"yes, yes, what's wrong?"

"I feel like you're an actor who has been debuting for 20 years, and you have a lot of works."

"Well, how to put it, I started acting professionally when I was eight years old, and I've been doing it for at least 16 years."

"It's been 16 years since your debut, it's not easy, do you think you're a child star?"

"I don't think it'......" (to be continued......)
