Chapter 287: The Vigilance of The Lord of the Rings
(There is always a kind of egg pain in the adaptation of foreign movies, for example, the main character in the real movie is called Sam, but in the novel, it must be changed to a Chinese name, and then named Wang Song, embarrassed.) and the name Wang Song is so-so. οΌ
The onlookers at the filming site were talking excitedly, and the sound formed a huge sound torrent, interfering with the normal filming work, and Wang Shang had to use a loudspeaker to silence them.
Fortunately, Wang Shang's appeal was enough, and the voices of the onlookers suddenly became very quiet, with only a few whispers left. And those who wanted to speak were quickly stopped by the eyes of those around them.
After more than half an hour of busy work, the Maserati store, the second-hand car shop next to it, and the makeup of the protagonist 'father and son' were all ready, and the camera rails and cantilevers were also laid out.
Wang Shang and Michael Bay, his photographer and two actors discussed the shooting process and precautions, and finally felt that there was no problem, and officially started shooting.
Under Wang Shang's command, the filming officially began.
The protagonist Wang Song (played by Hu Bugui) sits in his father's Bentley, and then under the leadership of his father, he goes to the place where he bought a car.
At this time, the camera is on the cantilever above the vehicle, along the rails, and follows the car.
"Son, you know, I'm going to surprise you today." Sitting in the car, Wang Song's father talked eloquently.
"What surprise?"
"Well, a small surprise." Following the words of the protagonist's father, the car makes a turn and arrives at the door of the Maserati.
The protagonist Wang Song was indeed very surprised when he saw all this, his face was about to be happy, and he smiled brightly: "Dad, are you kidding?" Can I really buy a car here? β
"Yes, I'm kidding, you won't get a Maserati, I'm playing with you." Wang Song's father laughed very unscrupulously.
Sure enough, Wang Song's father continued to drive forward and drove away from the Maserati store.
"Oh... Don't ......" Wang Song hugged his head. Scratching his hair a few times, he was depressed, and finally complained, "You think this is fun? β
"Yes, it's fun." With Dad's smug laughter.
Father and son began to quarrel.
"How could you be?"
"Do you really think the first car I bought you was a Maserati?"
"I'll never play with you again......"
"Haha, that's a realistic joke......"
"It's not funny at all......"
When he got here, Wang Shang began to shout 'cut' loudly into the horn!! Because there are not many acting skills involved, and there are few close-ups of facial expressions, this performance passed at one time.
Then the battlefield began to be transferred to the second-hand car dealership near the next door, and all the equipment began to be dismantled and moved. Where the crew passed. The crowd of onlookers gave way of their own accord.
Then it took another hour to lay the tracks, erect the cantilevers, and set up the shooting site. Take advantage of this time. Wang Shang and several key members of the crew began to study the filming that would follow.
Wang Shang didn't like to limit filming to the script. Wang Shang is always thinking about various other ways to shoot the plot better. And the kind of actor who tells him, 'That's the script, I'm acting according to the script,' then the actor will definitely appreciate what it means to be a tyrant on the set.
"Director Wang. I've found that we all have a lot in common. Michael was drawing a picture of what he wanted to do, and he said to Wang Shang.
"Really??" Wang Shang smiled sideways.
"Like you, I don't like to be constrained by scripts, I like to try to optimize it according to the actual situation when shooting, and make it more perfect. There are quite a few serious directors who don't like this, thinking that it will ruin the entire script, and Hollywood scripts are provided by production companies. As a director, there are very few places to change, and I hate it. β
"Ahaha~~ We do this to prove that we are all geniuses......" Wang Shang did not blush, and his heart did not beat to give himself and the other party a sycophant. After this period of getting along, Michael Bay belongs to the kind of more open-minded. A very casual person, this kind of person is quite suitable for Wang Shang's personality and stomach.
When Wang Shang said this, Michael Bay also laughed.
After laughing, Michael glanced at Wang Shang, who was in a more cheerful mood, and put forward an idea that came to his mind during this time: "By the way, Director Wang, I have an idea, I like horns, I think there is a horn in my hand, I roar more comfortably, and the actors and staff can also hear it more clearly, so can you buy more than a dozen speakers for the crew and give them to the person in charge of each module?" β
Wang Shang touched his chin, which had grown a lot of beard, muttered for a second, and replied, "I think it's okay, okay!" Just buy a dozen horns as you say!! β
Wang Shang's consent allowed Michael. Bei felt a sense of respect, when he came here, he was afraid that he would be rejected by others when he went to a foreign land, but he didn't expect to be respected by Wang Shang from the beginning, and although others had not seen his ability, they also gave him enough respect because of Wang Shang, and put forward various suggestions, as long as it was reasonable, others would not refute.
"Although the experience of actors and filmmakers is not as rich as that of Hollywood, they have exactly the same love for movies."
Michael felt the positive, studious, attentive, and hard-working state of the crew members around him, and thought to himself: "Huaxia is a good place, but I used to think badly." β
Although the movie has achieved certain results in the box office list, although there are dozens of movie stars in Huaxia who are developing in Hollywood, and although there are tens of thousands of Chinese Americans working for Hollywood, in the hearts of Hollywood filmmakers, Huaxia is still a movie barbaric excess, and even many people are spitting on Huaxia movies.
It turns out that although Michael Bay does not spurn Chinese movies, he always looks down on them a little, which is why he was invited to China to become the world-famous assistant director of "Transformers" so entangled. Now that I'm here, I feel that the whole film production team is pretty good, and I have changed my original impression.
"When I go back to Hollywood in the future, it seems that I need to promote Chinese movies well, and at least help Director Wang increase his popularity." Michael Bay looked at the director, who was younger than himself, and thought to himself.
Wang Shang didn't know that he had convinced a big director who was destined to be famous all over the world with his actions at this time, and he was telling the crew members to buy speakers at this time.
In less than half an hour, the horn was loosened, and a total of fifteen were bought, and each of the main responsible persons had one, and after getting it, they couldn't help but shout with the horn, making the rest of the crew and the onlookers laugh.
ββββββ
Just when "Transformers" was being filmed in an orderly manner, far away in New Zealand's East Garilo National Park, the filming location of "The Lord of the Rings". CuarΓ³n and the crew are discussing Wang Shang's "Transformers".
Alfonso. Caron was holding a local entertainment newspaper in New Zealand, and on the side of the newspaper was the news of the press conference of "Transformers" - ""Transformers" announced the start-up, director Wang Shang claimed that a new generation of 3D technology will be applied, and at the same time, he will cooperate with the Chinese military to create the most peak pleasure masterpiece! β
Because New Zealand was once colonized by the British, its official language is English, so it is easy to read, and the newspaper details some of the materials that started filming "Transformers", from CG to supercomputers to 3D to military cooperation.
Alfonso. Cuaron pinched his temples and said with a headache: "I originally thought that "Transformers" would not be a threat to our movie, after all, we shot in 3D format this time, but I didn't expect Huaxia to be able to produce a 3D." β
"Hey, Huaxia? 3dοΌ Don't tease~~" Another mature short man with a sharp-beaked monkey cheek who was only 1.4 meters tall said mockingly.
Hearing this, Pazira, the producer of "The Lord of the Rings", glanced at him and said, "If it were someone else, I might still have confidence, but if it was Wang Shang, I wouldn't have confidence, you don't know him." β
Pazira is a person from Paramount, and her competitor in the production team is Wang Shang, who is familiar with Wang Shang
