As the days passed, the crew of "Laying the Foundation" drove outside the studio as the footage of the Warner studio and several interior scenes was completed. Today is the last shot in the United States, where they will shoot the most important scene in Los Angeles - a speeding train driving into the downtown streets.
The location was also several miles away from the nearest train tracks, but the train tracks here are for viewing purposes only, and there are no trains. Li Donglai's props team solved the problem by installing a train engine on the tractor chassis and replicating the prop train to real scale.
But how to make this behemoth run has troubled the behind-the-scenes team for a long time. Because everyone knows that the train driver has a very limited field of vision, and it takes a good control to run through this busy street, or even crash a few cars. In the end, after careful discussions with Douglas A, Li Donglai finally found a feasible solution.
They put a lot of small screens in the cab and connected them to the cameras that were installed outside.
This scene is actually just the first layer of dreams after the official operation of Cobb's Inception team, but their mission goal is a billionaire, eat the best, use the best, and even the defense in the dream is the top.
So Cobb's team faced the first problem, they put the mission objective into a dream, but suffered from the blocking power generated by the Dream Defense Training he had hired heavily.
Because the budget is relatively sufficient, the initial scene will only be completed in the rain with gunfights, fierce racing and other scenarios. But now, he has joined the air blocking force, and the word "overwhelming" is the perfect way to describe the billionaire's dream fire line.
When it comes to the guards of the fire line in his dream, Li Donglai's initial idea was the continuous emergence of viruses in "The Matrix", and the anti-horn of the two-faced man was once all the rage, even if it is still among the top ten classics of the anti-horn.
If Li Donglai wants to make the guards of the dream fire line different, he has to work hard. Naturally, it is not okay to plagiarize ideas, he invested 250 million, but he didn't want to be scolded in this regard.
Therefore, none of these guards will have faces, in fact, the faces of the people they see in the dream will not be clear when they wake up, unless they are particularly familiar with people.
Li Donglai meant that he wanted the audience to watch the movie like a dream, and in the end they saw countless gun-wielding men who were densely packed like ants, but they couldn't remember the faces of any of them. Even the screenshots of the film will not be shown.
"Lee, do you mean blurred vision?" Pete Bieber thought for himself.
Li Donglai said: "I think so, Pete. The strength of the people in the dream will be magnified, and it is not impossible to pick a hundred, but these automatically derived defensive forces will never disappear, and they will be overwhelming like zombies, but I don't want their faces to appear on the screen. ”
"Oh, Lee, this shot is going to be in good shape! But I have to talk about you, you're such a ruthless person, and the extras also want to be on camera. Pete joked.
Li Donglai laughed and said: "That's no way, there has to be some sacrifice, they won't know until the movie is released." However, on the final subtitles, their names will not be missed. ”
……
It's a sunny day, and the weather forecast suggests that the nearest rainy day will be in a week. But it doesn't matter, five taels of high-pressure sprinkler trucks have come from outside the venue, which will create a temporary rain curtain.
In addition, outside the venue, Rodro was holding a tweeter and explaining over and over again to the extras waiting for more than 1,000 people outside the filming set what to do for a while. That's right, it's Lodro, he's the deputy director of field operations, and he's done well so far.
The use of 1,000 extras at once is not a small trick.
In order to shoot these shots well, and to shoot them quickly and time-saving and labor-saving, rehearsing again and again, and practicing positioning; There are also dozens of cameras shooting in all directions, six more in the air, and cameras have been set up on tall buildings in all directions. Although there are many cameras, some of them may not appear for a second, but he only wants to be able to shoot smoothly at one time.
And these camera switching shots are all commanded by Li Donglai...... Galen is very serious, and each camera has an assistant director or camera assistant to shoot a variety of footage from different angles.
The preparation is a bit cumbersome, and when there are many people, all kinds of problems are easy to appear.
So all day long, Li Donglai was a little irritable, but he tried his best to suppress his anger, he didn't want people to see him angry. Because, it would be terrible, and he didn't want people to see his horrible side.
Just as he was in a hurry, a glass of cold coconut water was handed over, and he was about to refuse without thinking about it......
"Oppa, have a glass of coconut water, frozen." A soft, slightly worried voice sounded in his ears, like a rain sprinkled on his dry land in the heart of a fire, and his anger was suppressed at once. When I turned around, I saw Yuna's worried eyes.
He took the coconut water and took a sip, the cool liquid slid into his throat, making him a little less angry.
"Thank you, Yuna, I'm much better."
"Well, or?"
The eye contact made the girl suddenly ashamed. Lin Yun'er avoided his burning eyes, and blushed a little, the girl had not yet learned to face hot eyes in crowded places.
"Then let's have another drink, you don't have to add too much ice." Li Donglai smiled, and the fire in his heart was extinguished again.
"Okay, soon." Yoona jumped away again and ran to the buffet.
……
After several hard negotiations, I finally figured out the off-site situation.
Filming officially began, and fifty-eight 3D cameras, set up at all angles, shouted "action! ”
Whoa, whoa, whoa--
Pouring rain. Pouring down, "beep", a train with a flute, clang, bang, bang,
Boom, boom, boom
In the sky, more than a dozen black helicopters, like more than a dozen flying monsters, surging in. There is also a dream guard in a uniform black suit outside the field. The figure came out of nowhere, densely packed, shocking to the eyeballs.
And this qiē, because they invaded the dreams of billionaires, naturally generated defensive power.
"What the hell is going on, why are there so many armed forces?" Joseph Gordon shouted, moving nimbly in front of the camera. The whole team moved forward in two cars, the first car was Joseph's posture, and the main action shots were all completed by him. The latter car was driven by Li Donglai, and the two of them wanted to show their armed strength slightly beyond ordinary people.
Li Donglai stretched out his hands, and an eight-barreled heavy machine gun appeared in his hand out of thin air, and while shooting in the rain, he explained loudly to Joseph: "He bought the Dream Firewall, and we can be regarded as a forced invasion and triggered the self-detonation system." ”
The star-making of the two people is somewhat similar, they are both combed with backlit oiled heads, and their complexions are equally strict.
Li Donglai also shouted loudly: "What's going on with that train? ”
YoonA looked slightly alarmed: "That's not how I designed it...... Cobb, Cobb. ”
Cobb, played by Leonardo, didn't speak, he naturally knew the train, because he created it himself in his dream. Maybe there will be a big ship in the footage later. He clearly understands that Li Donglai, a seemingly stable young director, is actually full of funny bad taste. He found himself and Kate to play together, and his first idea was to show the big ship in their dream world.
This train is only a prelude, and the big ship may not appear in the sea, but on the snow and ice......
"Damn, how much did he spend setting up the firewall?" Joseph shouted loudly, and when he saw the big guy in Li Donglai's hand, he seemed to have been reminded, and shouted to himself: "Why is my gun so small, can't I have a bigger one?" Then as soon as the camera changed, the AK firearm in his hand changed to a heavy machine gun, and his brows suddenly stretched: "wow, enough." ”
It's about showing something beyond reality, but not too far off.
Ariadne, the dream builder played by YoonA, sees the monster-like helicopter flying over, her eyes are slightly closed, her hands seem to touch something on the wall, and then a spider web-like steel cable suddenly flashes in the sky. The helicopter suffered heavy damage and fell with a bang.
Cobb glanced at her, and YoonA shouted, "This is my dream." ”
"Well done."
Several people have a division of labor to stop the endless guard forces emerging from all directions. Only Zach was in charge of some hilarious shots to temper the tension a little. The sightseer played by Liu Tianwang is not too brave, and he wants to express his shocked expression by the defensive power in the dream in this set of shots.
By the time I finished filming this section, it was already three days later.
Sean, Pete, Leonardo and others couldn't believe it when they saw the temporary cutouts. Sean said: "I'm looking forward to the theater release when the time comes, and what the audience's reaction will be when they see such a hot scene not long after the opening." "They probably thought that when it came to high tide, there would be no more intense scenes in the future." Li Donglai said casually.
Everyone laughed.
These shots are not yet accompanied by special effects animation, and in the computers of the digital special effects artists, these shots will be more mechanical and the modern buildings will be more majestic.
It was hard work, but everyone was satisfied.
The important thing is that Li Donglai is fully prepared for every shot, and he will not ask the actor to try repeatedly. In time, there were so many planes in the air and so many black-clad guards on the ground, and he knew exactly where they should appear.
This provides the premise for the shooting of Shun lì.
Of course, this series of coherent shots is very exciting to display on the control screen, but it is not so good when it is filmed.
Li Donglai even got on the helicopter himself to capture the footage, and he has a professional helicopter license. With a hard temper, despite the persuasion of An Shuzhen, Sean and others, he personally turned on the helicopter and flew into the blue sky.
Seeing the helicopter tumbling smoothly, everyone believed that his posture skills were really qualified.
