Chapter 306: The Most Courageous I Do
A merry heart makes a cheerful countenance.
People are stressed and motivated.
Wu Yusen for the Central War, all the free time these days, is thinking about this scene, Yuan Baye also felt that it was too big, for the first time he had his useless thoughts, hearing the kind of picture in Wu Yusen's mouth, he thought of the finished picture, he felt incredible, it was really going to be filmed, and the computer special effects in the later stage were done, which is definitely a strong stroke in the history of Xiangjiang films.
What's a big deal in a downtown neighborhood?
Car chases, of course.
In order to shoot the effect, Wu Yusen is a large amount of expenses, the company asked Yang Yichen here, he is a big hand, a qiē according to the rules, I am the boss I set the rules, the company you will implement, you are responsible for assessing the necessity of these expenses, if it is necessary to shoot, then even if it is an investment, we will do it, just for better results.
At first, John Woo thought that it would be easier to control the scene without having to close the road and at dawn, but he encountered difficulties in actual action, you can't let the various buildings and shops fully cooperate with you, and in the end you can only choose to shoot after the morning rush hour to noon, and the shooting time is limited every day, as a director, he must accurately control the time, and before the small peak traffic at noon, not only the crew has to leave, but also some large props on the scene. It also gives Central a normal working and living environment.
All the main members of Y-Y-C came to Hong Kong, and several founders took this challenge as a sign for the company's future publicity. If you want to become an instant hit and become a leader in the industry, you will get a piece of the cake. Then it is necessary to have an influential work, and remove the relationship between the parent company. Simply held a meeting and discussion within the special effects company, this scene is also very attractive, and it is worth fighting and taking out all the strength of the company to fight a big battle.
Plot setting,In the end, it was a very vague character setting that bought her daughter Yang Mi,In order to make the Central War more impactful visual effects,Yang Yichen's opponents must be professional mercenaries or heavily armed enemies,Small pistols don't play,All are AK47、M16 and other destructive weapons。 Including grenades will also become the main props of this scene, how to play, Yang Yichen has also completely become a puppet, his little directorial experience must be coordinated with special effects, where to shoot, where to make a destructive effect in advance, when the computer special effects must be meticulous to do the explosion effect process, corresponding to the destruction effect done in advance.
He was very glad that he invited John Woo, otherwise a domestic director. It's not that he doesn't distrust, without the experience of mobilizing thousands of troops and playing with super investments, you can only cross the river by feeling the stones. is not sure whether he can control the scene, Yang Yichen will not take that risk if he has a choice, a big director is a big director. If you don't accept it, Yang Yichen even believes that Don't look at Ang Li to be more successful than him. filming such a scene, Ang Lee is not necessarily better than him.
If it weren't for John Woo's failure, he would be down. With the investment in this play, it is absolutely impossible to invite a superstar director, unless Yang Yichen is willing to rely on his understanding of the foreign art scene to find a super director who will only emerge in the next ten years, and let him come over to guide this play.
At this time, the synergy between the brother media departments and the rigorous and orderly work attitude played a crucial role, and Wu Yusen's every order could be carried out in the most efficient way, which was the most refreshing place for him in all his busy work, and even he said to the colleagues in Xiangjiang around him that if there was no such group of staff from the mainland, he might not be able to take this scene down.
Ordered from the upside.
The fastest speed to the set on the street, with the help of the army and police, the temporary closure of the road will not completely obstruct the traffic, from the morning there has been a special person to inform the road section that parking is not allowed, and the shops have also been visited by the crew, to express their gratitude and also put forward some requirements, do not stand at the door to watch, do not watch in a conspicuous position in the store, do not cause a sense of disobedience to the camera that may be scanned.
Outside, there are guns and cars exploding, you see in the camera that there are still people standing in a shop looking forward to it, one picture, the feeling created by the whole scene is all gone, don't think that the movie camera can be swept by, Yang Yichen is from ten years later, he knows too well the level of these gods on the Internet, and they can find out for you in less than a second.
Fortunately, there are not many close-ups of the rated number of enemies in "Storm" in this scene, just Yang Yichen, the rest are all group performances, in order to shoot more efficiently, and come up with a more realistic feeling, this time the enemy leader is a big-drug-lord from the Golden Triangle region, originally came with his brother to make a big deal, knowing that there was such an auction to participate, and when he left, he was told that someone came to rescue and make trouble, and was chased by Yang Yichen by car, and notified his subordinates to answer on the way, near Central, Ying successfully encountered Yang Yichen, He alone killed more than a dozen heavily armed bandits who were hiding in the area where Xiangjiang was hiding dirt and dirt.
After the results of the field investigation of the backbone personnel of the special effects company, small-scale blasting is no problem, they can achieve real effects, but in the end, the subway explosion under the ground, the explosion of the Central Building, and the explosion of vehicles on the ground all set off this series of special effects, they can do it separately, the previous scene, the special effect is made of ruins, and the overpass is blown up, and the ground is blown up, but it is impossible for your crew to make such a big investment to make all the special effects in a Hollywood super blockbuster. With the current investment of 50 million, the most ideal is this series of pictures, in one go, no more plot advancement in the process, that is, the chain reaction generated by the hero and the enemy in the process of fighting, such as a pocket of grenades exploded at key locations, resulting in the explosion of cars and some buildings, and then the ground exploded, and the multi-point explosion of the entire Central presented a strong visual stimulation, one at a time, and finally in a closed space where the other party leader was chased into the closed space to shoot the plot of the last scene.
Wu Yusen felt that he could, at this time, he couldn't ignore Yang Yichen's savings, investing in such a big movie, to such a critical scene, he needed to respect the identity of other investors, not only that, Brother Qiang was also invited, the two main investors, need to confirm the entire process of this scene, and it is determined overnight, as soon as the morning peak passes tomorrow morning, it will be fully started.
Brother Qiang just saw the current design, he already felt incredible, he thought it was just a car chase in Central, and then a shootout, the old gunfight movie, the novelty is placed in the downtown block of Central, the picture is the most obvious landmark building in Central, I didn't dare to think that it can play so big, he doubts it but also knows that the project can be placed here to prove that Yang Yichen's special effects company in Hollywood has this level to do the most reasonable plan in the whole project. That is, a four-minute Central explosion plot in one go.
Yang Yichen frowned, he muttered in his heart, maybe he is too demanding, ten years, it is unimaginable for the development of movie special effects, he has his own thoughts, Y-Y-C The answer given is that there will be a subtle sense of picture cohesion, only the top special effects companies in Hollywood need at least tens of millions of dollars to achieve that effect, when the character plot performance is advanced, the background picture is the picture after the explosion before.
can achieve a four-minute explosion in one go, in fact, it is not far from the technology required by Yang Yichen, maybe five years later, such a picture can be made with less money, but on the scene, according to their understanding, it is difficult for this film to carry such a perfect picture.
"Use the part between the real scene and the special effects, at least let me add it to present a more realistic picture to the audience, don't watch it for a long time and feel that there is only an explosion and you can't see the main actor."
Yang Yichen put forward his own requirements, this question does not need to be answered by the special effects company, Wu Yusen can: "It's too dangerous, the explosion effect we did before is likely to cause damage to some facilities on the roadside, in order to shoot the effect, some corpses or people who were injured and blown up in the picture are all dummies, in the explosion area, it is very dangerous, even if you want to get it, you have to pay a lot of money to ask a stand-in to go in, but if you want to use a stand-in, it is impossible to have a medium shot, and you can't see the face of the character clearly, in fact, there is no need to do this ......"
"You can also use computer technology to make some characters go in, and you don't need to slap your face, and you can't see it in the whole big bang."
"I'll shoot, help me do a risk assessment, give me protection measures that won't be seen by the audience, and I want results for an hour." Yang Yichen was categorical, waved his hand and signaled that no one needed to persuade him, what he needed now was a risk assessment level, he didn't want to die while filming, but he wanted to fight within a controllable range and make some contributions to the cause he loved, he was willing.
The picture of "Storm" came to his mind, and finally Lin Jiadong faced the Central block where the natural gas explosion was sunk, although the two sides were in a picture, as if he was standing at the center of the explosion, but he could still see some deficiencies in technology, at least with the naked eye, when he watched it as an audience, he could see the effect between the characters and the background, although everyone knew that it was a computer special effect, but the level of Hollywood is that you make you immersive, this is a little flawed, Yang Yichen hopes to do, is to try to make up for a small flaw in the audience's visual needs, the same vehicle explodes, the fire is splashing, and the starring actor is in it to do some actions to advance the plot, which is more visually impactful than a simple explosion full of dead things.
"Chen Zai, think about it carefully, this is very dangerous, if something happens, it's a big deal, is it worth fighting with your life?"
"Hehe, if you want to sue me that I am 100% dangerous or more than 50 years of serious injury or death, then I will definitely give up, but if it takes some courage and some luck to fight for some pain within an acceptable range, such desperate filming, I am willing to try." (To be continued......)
