Jennifer? Ralph? Hewitt sucks. Shoot again after poisoning? Although Duke is a workaholic, he is not really crazy, and the other party is showing his attitude to him as a director.

Still, Jennifer? Ralph? Hewitt's efforts are indeed worthy of recognition, and her outstanding performance has not only been recognized by Duke, but also by the entire crew.

In front of the camera lens, Jennifer? Ralph? Hewitt starred in the daughter who was working with Liam? Neeson's police father gets into a fight.

"Do you want to me now?"

In the room, she stood crookedly, as if in this way, venting her dissatisfaction with her father, "Don't you only have work in your eyes?" L.A.P.D, Huh...... They're your family, aren't they? A police officer who upholds justice? You can't even keep my mother......"

Speaking of which, she suddenly looked at Liam with hatred? Neeson glanced at her, turned and walked towards the room, a necklace with a cross hanging from her back.

Liam? Neeson watched his daughter's back disappear, but he didn't know how to communicate with her, and he didn't know that his daughter had started to take drugs.

The door slammed shut.

“Great！”

Duke rarely uttered the words of approval, "Jenny, Liam, well done, excellent!" ”

Filming continued as time went on, and Duke discovered Jennifer? Ralph? Hewitt's plasticity is better than Kate? Beckinsale is much better, but it's really difficult for a youth idol to transform, let alone her debut as an idol singer, even Britney Spears hit her head when she wanted to leave the road of youth idols.

Jennifer? Ralph? Hewitt had good talent and was willing to work hard, but Duke remembered very well that she fell very quickly. I can only say that in Hollywood, sometimes opportunities are really, really important.

Maybe she met someone like Juno to Allen? A suitable character like Peggy will soar into the sky, and if you don't meet it, you may also sink.

Of course, if this film is successful, maybe her path will also change.

It's the end of November. Duke began to lead the crew on location in Wellington, and this film didn't need a lot of location shots, the real kind of big panoramic shots, he had already made Anna? Prinz went back to Los Angeles to shoot.

It's hard to tell a city by relying on close-up shots that don't have signs in the city, but the panoramic lens makes it clear at a glance.

Although the film does not fit the plot of the North Hollywood shooting at most 50 percent, Duke will not make such a low-level mistake by making the panorama of Los Angeles Wellington.

Filming on the streets of Wellington wasn't long, just over a week. The crew is back in the studio, ready to shoot the most critical and final climactic scene, the crazy shootout.

The open-air studio, not far to the west of the main studio, has been set and props set up to look like Bank of America's Los Angeles branch, as well as part of Rowell Valley Drive, with abandoned cars renovated. They were also dragged to where they should be, if only for a close-up. It's like the morning of the Bank of America robbery.

It was a big scene involving nearly 100 police officers, hundreds of members of the public, dozens of journalists and videographers, and hundreds of cars of all kinds, in which more than 1,500 rounds were fired by both police and robbers, and 14 people were injured. Two people died, one of the craziest bank robberies in the history of Los Angeles and the United States.

However, for Duke, who has been in charge of realistic war scenes like "Saving Private Ryan", such a big scene is not difficult.

In fact, the overall shooting of the film is not difficult. The most difficult thing is the post-editing, how he cuts the finished shots into just the right three-line narrative.

If it weren't for the need to hone the technique of three-line storytelling, the film would have no meaning for Duke.

The filming of the entire shootout scene was cut into countless small pieces by Duke, and then carried out separately, and finally connected together by editing, which is the simplest and most time-saving and labor-saving way to shoot, the investment in the film itself is limited, even if Warner Bros. out of confidence in Duke, and then added an additional $2 million investment, so that the production cost of the entire film reached $10 million, but for a director like Duke, who invests more than $50 million at every turn, and also makes earth-shattering scenes, If you don't plan well in advance, it's almost inevitable that the crew will overrun.

Although filming had only been going on for a little over a month, much faster than originally planned, Duke still wanted to end the filming as soon as possible, because what he was going through now was a complete torture.

While filming, Duke had to inquire about the preparation of The Lord of the Rings.

Unlike the filming of "The Matrix", when the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy only stayed at the preparation of plans and paper design, the preliminary preparation of "The Lord of the Rings" has now entered the critical stage of full implementation, even if it is not responsible for any specific work, just the final review of props, sets, actors, makeup, special effects, costumes and locations, etc., is an extremely tedious work.

This is not an audit that stayed on paper before, but an audit that needs to be seen to inspect the actual object in person, otherwise it will be found that the props and locations do not meet the requirements when it comes to shooting......

This is bound to happen if he leaves the pre-production of The Lord of the Rings entirely to someone else.

Duke wasn't the only one who was tormented, but also his director of photography, John? Schwartzman and art director Hannah? Serena, when examining sets and prop sets, they are a profession that is simply impossible to lack around the director.

If this situation continues for too long, Duke believes that the nerves of the team will be broken, after all, people are not machines, even if he, the director, can endure the fatigue and pressure of preparing or shooting movies at the same time, others may not.

Luckily, this realistic shootout wasn't too difficult for Duke and the whole team to film.

Jason who plays two gangsters? Statham and Gerrard? Butler is going to suffer, Larry? Phillips and Emile? Matasalinu was armed to the teeth when he robbed the Bank of America, and they were wrapped in at least two layers of Kevlar material, and the weight of a single person even exceeded that of the Navy SEALs, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they were two bloated humanoid monsters.

Although Jason? Statham and Gerrard? Butler doesn't have to carry such a terrifying weight, but the two of them will definitely be padded to match the shape of the bandits, and now Wellington is summer, even if the body is wrapped in layers of materials with excellent breathability, it definitely feels uncomfortable.

The only thing to be thankful for is that the summer in Wellington is not too hot, and if it is filmed on the streets of Southern California in the summer, it is called exciting.

Even so, every hour or so of shooting, Duke would shout to stop and let Jason? Statham and Gerrard? Butler was able to breathe in the thick gear, which slowed down the shoot, but wasted more time if the actor was out of order.

Since the three days of filming the shootout, noise has inevitably become a theme on the set, and many cars have been turned into hornet's nests.

Taking advantage of the break, Duke put Liam? Neeson shouted.

"Did I make a mistake?" He asked when he came over.

"No, you're doing a good job." Duke looked at his suit, "Next play, Liam, pay attention, rescue the wounded is always ahead of anything." ”

Liam? Neeson nodded knowingly, "I understand." ”

Except for the final shootout, Duke's script can be said to be very far from this incident, but the shootout is not just a shootout, it must show the brilliance of human nature, and the brilliance will inevitably be placed on the Los Angeles police.

On the surface, the two gangsters fought nearly 100 police officers with little to no defense, and it seems that the Los Angeles police have lost face, and they will definitely be the focus of public and media criticism afterwards.

In fact, the Los Angeles police were later unanimously praised, not to mention the huge difference in firepower between the two sides, and the fact that many Los Angeles police officers were injured while covering up ordinary citizens was enough to cover up some disgraceful aspects.

At the end of the film, do the Los Angeles police, who are not biased towards representing the side of justice, defend the bandits who shoot wildly at everyone?

Some directors can do this, but with Duke's current status as a director, absolutely not.

Therefore, in the final shootout, the L.A.P.D. must be tenacious, brave, persistent, and willpower heroes who have overcome firepower, and at the end of the film, they will also enjoy the treatment of all Hollywood-style heroes.

The sound of gunshots, shattering glass, screams of panic, and wails of pain became the sounds that rang out on the set almost every day for the next week, and along with these sounds, the number of shots remaining quickly dwindled, and the filming of the film drew to a close.

By December 18th, with the Don? Cheadle's SWAT team surrounds Jason? Statham and shot him down, and the crew finally ushered in Duke's voice announcing the end of filming.

It only took a little over a month and a half for Duke to shoot the new film, much faster than planned, but he and the director of photography, John? The exhaustion on Schwartzman's face could not be concealed, and a vacation was a must.

But Duke can't leave New Zealand for the time being, even if he rests, he has to stay in Wellington, and the crew will be able to send a duì to the opportunity, and he will also attend, but he is physically and mentally exhausted, and he is just attending, and Pai duì is placed on a large beach that he has people rent, and there is enough space for him to rest quietly.

Tell Anna? Prinz sent the film he had shot today to the bank vault, and Duke left the set and walked back to his office to meet Tina, who was back in Los Angeles again. Philip got on the phone, and she brought information about negotiations with Google and the removal of "The Matrix" from the global market. (To be continued......)
