Chapter 522: The Man Who Walked Down the Altar
readx;?readx; The sun is still scorching in Los Angeles in November, but the snow has already fallen in Iceland, and the whistling cold wind mixed with fine snow particles is raging on Vatnajökull glacier, making this white world even whiter, living in Los Angeles all year round, Duke is not used to such an environment, but like all the difficulties encountered, the temperature will not be an excuse for him to stop. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info chase the barren era, and you have to go on.
Following the makeshift road, he led the crew all the way to a small Xiaoice lake on Vatnajökull glacier, ready to start filming the first scene.
The road was built jointly by the crew and the Icelandic government, which provided the crew with a lot of concessions, and according to the agreement between the two parties, Duke would also recruit temporary staff from the local area during the filming in Iceland.
There is a reward for what you give, this is the most basic rule in the world, and Duke is a person who abides by the rules of the game most of the time.
Get off the buggy, Duke and Anna? Prinz split up the crew and carried out the basic pre-shoot set-up, which was perfect for filming despite the overcast sky and snowflakes, and the gloomy sky and tones were simply a natural backdrop for Batman, and even dimming could be omitted.
"John, let Boom 1 and Boom 2 reach directly above the frozen lake." Standing on a slightly higher block of ice, Duke shouted to the camera crew that was debugging the equipment, "Camera 1 shoots at a 45-angle overhead, and Camera 2 shoots diagonally at a 60-degree angle!" ”
He beckoned to the art director again, wait for Hannah? Serena walked over briskly and said, "You go and set up the evening scene, you should be able to shoot this scene during the day." ”
Although the environment in Iceland is not bad compared to the Himalayas, it is not suitable for long-term shooting, and Duke has made a plan to leave Iceland as soon as possible, and it is now mid-November, if there is a delay for a while, Iceland will enter winter completely, and the operation of many equipment may be problematic.
The efficiency of the crew is very high. After the equipment and the scene were adjusted, Liam finished putting on makeup? Nissen and Christian? Bell also appeared in front of the filming set.
Duke stood behind the director's camera and didn't go over to say anything, it was an action scene. Cast scheduling by professional action director Jimmy? Carter was in charge.
Just when Christian? Bell and Liam? As soon as Neeson walked onto the glacial lake, Duke immediately called them back.
Duke walked to the ice lake and stepped on the ice hard, and a slight clicking sound sounded one after another, "Is this the sound of ice breaking?" ”
"It should be." Jimmy? Carter repeated Duke's movements as well. The crisp clicking sound is not too loud, but it can be easily picked up by the human ear, "It won't break, will it?" ”
"What's going on?" The target of Duke's questioning was the staff of the familiar environment provided by Iceland.
"This is a characteristic of Vatnajökull glacier, and a lot of ice makes this sound when you step on it, but it never really cracks, I can guarantee it!" ”
The liaison officer sent by the Icelandic government to the crew also came over, and after inquiring about the situation, he also assured, "This ice lake often receives tourists. It's early winter again, and there's absolutely no problem. ”
Although the Icelandic side swears by it, but Duke, just in case, or for Liam? Nissen and Christian? Bell and the duo's stunt doubles are equipped with safety ropes, which can be easily erased in post-production, but if something goes wrong with the actors, the crew will have more trouble.
Every action scene is divided into countless fragments to shoot, Liam? Nissen and Christian? Bell's combat training shoots were no exception, and due to the wind and the complex environment. Duke didn't use live recordings, which also made the scene between the two more difficult.
Liam? Nissen and Christian? Bell had just gone through a few months of rigorous training and was in the best physical condition, although the shooting stopped. The stunt stand-ins were constantly replaced, but the progress of this first scene was generally quite smooth.
It's just that I didn't expect that just after lunch, the wind on the glacier suddenly became stronger, but Duke insisted on filming this scene, when the crew packed up their equipment and prepared to evacuate. The measured wind speed has reached 75 mph, and even some crew members were directly blown to the ground by the strong wind, and they couldn't stand up at all if there was no one to help them.
The harsh environment made it impossible for the crew to leave for the time being, and the team, led by the guide, found a leeward place to temporarily avoid the strong wind, and then went to another filming location after the wind subsided.
"A hot cup of coffee?"
In a spacious trailer, Tina? Fei handed over a cup of hot drink, Duke took it, held it with both hands, and felt that the palm that had been blown through by the wind before gradually warmed, "Thank you." ”
"I've asked the guide." Tina? Faye poured herself a glass and sat across from Duke, "It's just a gust of wind, it won't last long." ”
Duke listened to the whirring sound outside, and his furrowed eyebrows did not loosen, "If you come here every day, it will be troublesome." ”
Just like the guide said, the wind blew for less than an hour, and then gradually stopped, although the wind outside was still a little strong, but it didn't prevent the crew from hurrying.
Switching to an off-road vehicle, Duke led the crew to a rocky field in the glacier area.
The distance between the two sides was not too far, and it took less than half a time to reach the destination, but after Duke got out of the car, he saw Hannah sighing? Serena, the set she set up with people was all blown down by the wind, and some of the lighter sets were blown by the wind and I don't know where they were blown by the strong wind.
After a lap around the rocky field at the edge of the ice, Duke said to Serena, "Hannah, don't need a set, the crew will take a break for a while, and we'll shoot after dark." ”
When Hollywood crews shoot films, many of them seem to be nighttime scenes, but in fact, they are filmed during the day and then replaced with the background of the night, and the lighting to the environment is often more complicated at night.
As the sky darkened and the temperature dropped, Duke didn't plan to set up more of the makeshift set other than setting up the cameras and setting up the lighting, and for the rest of the shoot, he drove everyone on the crew to several large trailers to keep warm, and waited until it was completely dark before going out to shoot.
"Working with Duke is often an incredible journey."
In a large rest trailer, the main cast and crew of the crew gather together to drink hot coffee, Liam? Neeson said to his partner, "Christian, can you imagine that I'm in my fifties and my career has taken a big step forward. ”
"That's because you worked hard enough." Duke answered.
Christian? Bell smiled at the crowd, but didn't say anything.
According to Duke's observations, in most cases, this is a relatively silent actor, and he doesn't like to communicate with people, and his professional attitude is unquestionable, but after joining the crew, the two don't discuss the film and the role much.
After resting for half an hour, the sky outside was completely dark, Duke stood up and clapped his palms, "Guys, it's time to get started!" ”
There's only one scene here, Henry? Ducat vs. Bruce? Wayne's conversation about anger, determination, and revenge.
A bonfire was lit, the flames hunted in the wind, and the light of the fire lit up Liam? Nissen and Christian? Bell's face.
Duke stands behind the main camera, observing every movement and expression of the two actors, and unlike his previous commercial films, this trilogy requires more actors to perform.
This is also an important reason why he put the time left for Bale to consider on the last day, compared to another favorite actor Ben? Affleck, Christian? Bale's acting skills are clearly going to be the winner.
"Rub your chest hard and your hands can help you warm." Liam? Neeson added dry wood to the fire, and said to Christian, who was curled up in a ball? "You're stronger than your father," Bell said. ”
Christian? Bell looked up and looked at the other man, "You don't know my father. ”
"But I understand the anger in your heart!"
This is exactly what Bruce? Wayne's state of mind after his parents were brutally murdered, "Your anger makes you forget your pain for a while, until you can't bear to miss your loved ones, and one day you wish they didn't exist so that your pain would go away." ”
Christian? Bell gave a slightly puzzled look, Liam? Neeson said calmly, "I didn't live in the mountains all the time, I had a wife, the love of my life, she was killed, I learned like you not to condone bad people, you must not show mercy to them, anger gives you a lot of strength, if you can't control it, it will ruin you, anger almost ruined my life." ”
"How do you calm your anger?" Christian? Bell asked.
"Revenge!"
"It didn't work for me."
"Why? Why don't you avenge your parents, Bruce? ”
These two sentences show that Bruce? Wynn vs. Henry? Ducat, or the Shadow Warrior Alliance's philosophical differences, they will inevitably part ways in the end.
“cut!”
Duke shouted to stop, then beckoned the two actors to come over, and he said to Neeson first, "Liam, your expression is a bit too much, you are not a bad person, you are just holding on to your philosophy and that of the Shadow Warrior Alliance, you believe that evil must be eliminated and a new order be rebuilt on the ruins, in Ducat's mind, this is a very correct view, and he is convinced." ”
Then, he turned to Bale, "Christian, what about your acting skills?" Where did your acting go? What I see in the footage is just a blues with a wooden expression? Wayne, I can't see the anger and fear hidden deep in my heart from your performance! ”
"Sorry," Christian? Bell said sincerely, "I haven't adjusted well. ”
"You've got ten minutes." Duke admonished, "Remember, Christian, you are not playing a god with a blank face, but a man who has stepped down from the altar!" (To be continued.) )
