In the scene being filmed, the boss of Bullet Town, after being blinded by Ferosa, is swept away with two guns while exiting the chapter. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The first two lines are epic-like spirit and grace, "I am the scales of justice, the conductor of the choir of death." ”

The last sentence literally, "Roar, Brother Koch!" ”

The Koch brothers were apparently his affectionate name for his two guns.

So who exactly are the Koch brothers? Are they two contemporary American billionaires David? Koch and Charles? Koch, known for his active political involvement, conservative, hawkish, is an ardent supporter of the Republican Party.

It's an election year in the United States, and in the current Republican campaign, the Koch brothers claim to donate $500 million, and many people think they can influence the Republican nomination.

They are also considered war maniacs by the American left, and the policies they support will lead to a world nuclear war.

Hollywood has never stayed away from politics, Duke just wrote the framework of the script, and when several screenwriters wrote it, they obviously brought some personal political views into it, which he ignored at the beginning.

When Duke found out, he immediately deleted these things, and there was no need for him to mock some politicians in the film.

As Christmas approached, it wasn't always easy to shoot, and there were factors that Duke couldn't control, such as the weather.

New Mexico's climate is typically desert, warm and dry, with plenty of sunshine and low humidity, and while some places can get up to 1,000 mm of rain a year, the gypsum desert is definitely not one of them.

However, just a few days before Christmas, a light rain came unexpectedly, and it was not a non-stop rain, this is definitely not the climate that a wasteland world should have in a world with little water and rain, and Duke simply suspended the shooting, but fortunately, the field progress was slightly ahead of plan, and it did not cause much delay.

Duke was free, and Sarah, the deputy editor of the Los Angeles Times, came to the door. I wanted to have an interview with this movie.

For the sake of publicity, Duke did not refuse, and set up a few large sun umbrellas in the light rain, while enjoying the rare rain scenery of the wasteland. talked about the movie.

The rain made a slight noise on the umbrella, and it was a little cooler, and Sarah tightened her coat and turned on the recorder.

"You didn't have any auditions for the lead actor ......and heroine of this film," she asked first. Why Tom? Cruise and Charlleze? Theron? ”

"I like to look for the moment when the spark sparks and the ideas come together."

Duke paused for a moment to better organize his thoughts, "The kind of shiver that you can feel as soon as that person walks into the room is an intuitive experience, just like when we meet a particular person. You have a gut feeling that, yes, they're the right people. There's that special feeling when people fall in love, there's always an ideal type in your body, in your inner world, when you meet someone. And this person somehow coincides with this ideal type, and casting selection is a similar process. ”

"As you know, it was you who unearthed Charlize? Theron. Sarah turned to the heroine, "She's always done something incredible in your production, and her best roles are in your films, why is that?" ”

"I remember my first meeting with Sally."

For the sake of publicity, Duke never minded talking about it, "We just met and talked, and my first impression was that she was quite smart. The mind is quite agile, and there is a certain uneasy energy in it. Sally is energetic, unpredictable, and funny. It always reminds me of the experience of working with children. You always don't know what that little guy is going to do in the next second, it's amazing. ”

Sarah was smart enough not to dig deeper, but asked, "What were you most afraid of during the shoot?" ”

"Disaster, unpredictable disaster."

Duke pointed to the raindrops dripping from outside the umbrella. "For example, climate change, rain. We built everything, rehearsals started, we fixed the road and did all the rehearsals, and it rained. ”

"We've known each other for a very long time, I've seen all of your films, and I've basically been to your set or premiere interviews." Sarah picked up the hot tea on the table, "Except for Chicago, all your films can be boiled down to the category of action movies, do you have a special affection for action movies?" Also, how do you manage the fury and other film action scenes? ”

"For me, action movies are a special, higher form of cinematic art."

Any kind of film has its merits, and Duke muttered for a moment, and then said, "When you're shooting an action scene, you can't think, 'Oh, then we're just going to smash a lot of things,' you can't treat it like that." You have to try to create very clear syntax, not just violent collisions. ”

Compared to the nonsensical words just now, Duke's answer to this question is basically true, "This is a high-speed era, photography technology is constantly changing, everything used to be shot in real time, and you can't manipulate the image as freely as you do today." ”

"I still remember when we were filming the speed of life and death and the brave to kill the island, we tried to shoot as realistically as possible. Today, if we want, we can shoot a lot of footage and then compose it with ease using computer technology, and now, if you look at the videos and action movies from more than a decade ago, you will find that they are very slow. Our society as a whole is getting faster and faster, and I have to speed up the pace of the furious road. ”

The rainy day not only temporarily halted the crew, but also took away a lot of reporters to complete the interview with Duke, and the reporters, including Sarah, left New Mexico one after another.

However, the light rain only lasted for a little more than a day, and when the sun hung high again in the sky, it took only a short time for the blazing sun to dry the already not very wet earth, and Duke was able to get the crew to start filming again.

Maybe it was because he had accumulated enough energy after taking a day off and restarting filming, the crew was progressing smoothly, but Duke still deliberately emphasized a few points, especially for his artistic director Hannah? Serena.

He mainly emphasized two points, one is to make the colors as rich as possible, to distinguish them from the dim and monotonous unsaturated colors of other apocalyptic themes; The second is to be as beautiful as possible in terms of artistic direction, because he believes that in the last days of material poverty, survivors will look for everything that can bring some beauty.

Fury Road is like the Lord of the Rings trilogy, so that Hannah? Serena has a full use of it, she appropriately blends the set into the grand and magnificent environmental background, so that the whole world forms a more unified picture, thousands of miles of yellow sand and thousands of miles of blue sky, blue and yellow form the base color of the set.

The contrasting effect of the primary colors echoes and switches, the dark blue filter effect of the sky on the rolling sand dunes, the oppressive earth-colored rock fortress, the black ghost staggering in the blue night sky curtain of the dead oasis, the dusky sandstorm with a hint of blood, and the large color block composition like a direct paint bucket constantly hints at the desolation of the wasteland world......

According to Duke's idea, as long as the quality of his films is guaranteed, if after the release, Hannah? Serena couldn't win the art direction award of the academic school, it can only be said that the academic school has thrown away even the most basic fairness, and the eyes of science fiction and action movies are all naked and undisguised discrimination.

Of course, with Duke's knowledge, he wouldn't be surprised that something like this happened.

Nearly halfway through the shooting, there are already a third of the modified cars in Jos? William's pyrotechnics crew was blown to pieces, and filming in the desert and wasteland was undoubtedly quite hard, with the crew members staring at each other for dozens of days, and when the wind was strong, the sand drilled everywhere was simply overwhelming.

There are also various animals in the desert, although the crew has a special snake repellent, but there are times when they can't take care of it.

Anna? Prinz didn't know how to get a lizard into her trailer, but luckily it was a non-poisonous type, and even then, she didn't want to live alone anymore and simply moved to Tina? In the trailer of the filipino.

As for the trouble caused by mosquito bites, it can only be said to be a minor trouble.

After all, this is a desert, not a fully equipped Warner studio, and all Duke can do is finish filming as soon as possible and get out of this hellish desert.

Frankly speaking, he didn't like this kind of climate either.

In the past, Duke had been to the White Sands missile range in New Mexico during the filming of Independence Day and Transformers, but at that time, the filming was only a week at most, and the military was used as a logistical support, which was far from comparable to now.

There was also an accident in the next shoot, Duke and John? Schwartzman once again mounted the X camera on the front of the car to increase the visual impact of the lens, but the desert environment was too complicated, and the modified car with the camera had an accident when braking and crashed into Ferrosa's war machine.

Since both modified cars were deliberately reinforced and did not travel at high speeds, neither the vehicle nor the actors had any accidents, but the delicate and bulky X-camera was crashed.

The representative of Company X, who was stationed in the crew, was almost crazy about this, and there were no ten X cameras combined, so its preciousness can be imagined.

The crew must pay compensation, which is an unexpected expense, and according to Duke's requirements, the shooting had to use two X cameras to shoot cross-filming, and had to wait for X Company to ship the cameras to the set in New Mexico as soon as possible.

Filming was paused again, and due to the proximity of Christmas, Duke simply gave the entire crew a holiday, and after the Christmas break, the X cameras were also in place, and the crew was once again assembled in New Mexico. To be continued.
