"It's on set, Nami."

Smelling the familiar aroma, Duke knew who was coming, and said without raising his head, "I remember there was no camera of you today, right?" ”

"I just wanted to have lunch with you."

When Duke looked over, Naomi Watts' just right expression, matched with her petite figure, gave people a feeling of weakness and pity.

"Let's go."

Without saying a word, Duke stepped out of the studio and headed for his trailer, followed by Naomi Watts.

The lunch wasn't rich, but it wasn't good, but Duke didn't have time to say anything to Naomito, as Zack Schneider, John Schwartzman, and Hannah Serena all came to his trailer, and Sophia Coppola, who was the assistant director, and several of them were discussing the afternoon shoot while eating.

"Insurance companies require the use of stunt doubles for all difficult action scenes."

In order to maintain her slender figure, Sophia just ate a little vegetable salad, then ended her lunch, and took out the planner to remind some precautions, "Christopher's two explosion scenes were vetoed by them, and the action scenes played by Nikolai himself must also be canceled." ”

"Do as they ask." Duke swallowed the beef in his mouth, "We don't have time to fight with third parties, we can use stuntmen to use all stand-ins. Also, Sophia, have I been allocated the funds for the explosion? ”

"It's been the morning."

Hearing Sophia's words, Duke nodded reassuringly, and said to Zack Schneider on the other side, "Joss William's pyrotechnics team will join the group in the afternoon, you can take them to familiarize themselves." ”

During the whole lunch time, there was no other talk at all, and the topic was always focused on the extremely relevant business of shooting, Naomi Watts sat next to Duke, slowly eating a fruit salad, and found that she had no chance to interject at all, she was completely ignored here.

They are a team, and she is someone outside of this team.

That's the only feeling Naomi Watts has, and she's out of place with the team.

"When you know what you want, when you know what you want, you will naturally find your way to your goal, you will find a way. You'll focus, you'll endure a qiē because you crave the goal you're heading to, because you know you have to be focused if you want to achieve it! ”

Suddenly, she remembered what Duke had said, and those words were the best description of the team in front of her, they were hungry for their goals, they were hungry for success, they were extremely focused!

looked at Duke next to him again, his attention was not on her at all, it seemed that from the time he turned on the film, he only had this movie in his eyes, and everything else could be thrown aside temporarily......

"I'm done." She leaned in and whispered to Duke, "There's something to do in the afternoon, I'll go first." ”

"John, on the medium shot, the camera ......"

Hearing the sound ringing in his ears, Duke turned his head to look at Naomi Watts, just nodded slightly, and then continued his topic, "You can use a mixed upward angle to create a first-person perspective and increase the realism of the audience. ”

Except for Sofia Coppola, who was sitting on the other side of Duke, no one else looked at Naomi Watts, who got up and left.

After lunch, Zack Schneider and the others left the trailer first, and Duke drank a cup of coffee before walking with Sophia towards the open-air filming area of Warner Studios.

"You just hurt a woman."

Walking on the asphalt road between the studios, Sophia suddenly said, "When Miss Watts left, there was loneliness in her eyes. ”

"Are you sure?" Duke turned his head to look at Sophia, "Anyway, she's not happy. ”

She pursed her lips, "Duke, you're really not a suitable boyfriend. ”

"I'm not her boyfriend either." Duke and Ben didn't take it to heart, and casually changed the subject, "Have you been in contact with the military advisor?" ”

"Lieutenant Colonel Lunjo will be here in the morning." Sophia also stopped mentioning those inconsequential little things, and returned to work, "He has been leading people to scout the scenes on the open-air set and design appropriate tactical moves. ”

The afternoon shoot quickly kicked off, filming the scene of General Hammer leading the attack on the arsenal, although the film was set at night, but due to various constraints, Duke put the shooting during the day, and then changed the background color when the post-production was made.

Many night scenes of Hollywood movies are actually shot during the day, and then rely on post-production to replace the background.

This doesn't require any advanced computer special effects technology, and ordinary in-camera effects are easy to do.

'Heavy rain' poured from the water cannons, and the Humvee drove up to the sentry post, where two guards stopped General Hammer's convoy......

Sitting in front of the monitor, Duke stared closely at the scene being filmed, when Lieutenant Colonel Lenjo next to him suddenly stepped forward.

"There's a problem." He whispered a reminder to Duke, who immediately shouted, "Stop! ”

The clouds and rain stopped, and the set changed to a dry climate in California again.

Duke replayed the footage he had just taken, and Lieutenant Colonel Lenho pointed to the assault rifles that the two guards were hanging on their chests, "Their muzzles are very strict and tactically wrong. ”

Seeing Duke make a gesture to continue, he added, "It's not a wartime situation, it's still raining, and according to the regulations of the U.S. military, all soldiers hold their guns with the barrel down, so as to avoid misfire, injury, and water." ”

These are small details that are easily overlooked, that is, the military professionals are aware of them, otherwise Duke would not have found out, and he immediately asked the military adviser to guide the adjustment, trying to avoid making such a basic military mistake in the future.

Due to the limitations of Alcatraz architecture and terrain, except for some car chase scenes and landscape scenes, the film does not need to be shot on location, most of which will be filmed in Warner Studios' studios and open-air shooting areas, and some of the action scenes, under the supervision of a third party as a guarantor, several leading actors rarely go into battle in person.

The third-party insurance company not only guarantees the completion of the film, but also the life insurance of several of the leading actors, and if they are injured, the insurance company will pay a large sum of money.

Although Hollywood's completion guarantee system is not good for directors, Duke never thought of using the power of one person to fight against the entire Hollywood system, which would only knock down the head and break the bloodstream, what he did was to eliminate the differences between the two sides as much as possible on the basis of maintaining smooth communication, this is not to win the award to star in the movie in person, if you can use a stand-in, Duke will definitely not insist, otherwise you will hurt a few leading actors, and the delay in the next shooting will outweigh the loss.

Due to the habit of making plans from the most difficult angles, the actual progress of the next shooting was slightly faster than planned, and according to Duke's prediction, if there were no major accidents, "Brave Island" could end all filming by February next year.

Unlike the silent filming of "Speed of Life and Death", the filming of "Brave Death Island" is underway, and Warner Bros. has not relaxed its publicity, and some true and false related news will be released every once in a while, as the main three male protagonists, there will be pictures in newspapers and magazines from time to time, and even some of them are set photos provided by the crew, so as to remind the public not to forget that there is such a film being filmed.

According to the plan, most of the first shots were literary dramas, which is one aspect of Duke's weakness, frankly speaking, the film structure of "Speed of Life and Death" covers up his shortcomings in storytelling, and "Brave Island" can also cover this point in a certain way, but this situation cannot continue indefinitely, Duke does not shoot movies for the sake of shooting, the pursuit of success is one thing, and learning from it is another.

In scenes such as the balcony conflict between Mason and Womack, Mason meeting with his daughter, and Goosby and his girlfriend's emotional exchange, Duke will think from the perspective of each character before filming, shoot a few more from different angles during filming, and do some private research afterwards, trying to make up for his biggest shortcomings as soon as possible.

"You should look for a movie with strong emotional conflict and frequent character interactions," Sophia has also privately told Duke, "so that you can hone yourself, and if you spend every day in the scene of speeding cars, explosions and fights, your achievements will be limited to this." ”

Everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses, Sophia stayed on the crew to learn, to plan for her future, she can learn from Duke that he is best at sports shots and visual impact, and Duke can also get some film insights from the other party's more than ten years of accumulation from the communication with her.

In the film industry, both of them are newcomers, and they are both groping for the goal of success.

As the clock ticked to December, the crew began filming action scenes, and several of Warner's studio areas were ravaged by Duke with fireworks almost every day, and the occasional loud explosion could sometimes be heard on the Warner building at the front of the studio.

In the filming of hot action scenes, it is inevitable that the stuntman will be injured, although the actor association has strict rules in this regard, if someone is accidentally injured, no one will make trouble with the union, and it is basically solved within the crew.

"Scene 55, Act 22......"

Wearing a baseball cap, Duke shouted into the megaphone, "Go!" ”

As soon as he sat down, a rumbling explosion sounded first, and a stuntman in the camera rushed out of the minecart track and flew to the side, dodging the 'grenade' thrown back by Goosby.

Perhaps driven by the air wave of the explosion, another stuntman had just run two steps before falling off the track, the side of the fall was not high, and there was also a mat to protect it, but after he landed on the mat, he let out a scream......
