Chapter 195: Geniuses don't make movies, only TV series
In the United States, Atlanta, Shao Yingying led the MGM crew to start filming here in a low-key manner, but they had to use a lot of green sets for filming this time, because it was closely related to post-production.
Remember the tank in The Walking Dead surrounded by zombies? No, it's not a real tank at all, it's not even a car, it's just a space made with art techniques, they made this space 1:1 scale according to the template inside the tank, and then during filming, the tank was surrounded by green sets, and then the crew played zombies to rush up. After post-production, the picture will directly change to a tank and appear on the street, zombies roaming the streets, and zombies who hear the gunshots surround the tank, and the situation is very dangerous.
It's just that when filming this TV series, not all scenes can be filmed under the green set, such as the scene where Glenn saves Rig, when the two shuttle through the roof, we can see a lot of zombies downstairs. The plot of this scene was filmed in real life, and the passage they used to get through the roof was not so dangerous, except that the handrails were painted green and erased during post-processing.
Also, the same is true of the scene where Daryl's brother is handcuffed to the roof of the building, and the gets the key into the pipe, which is there, but the key is not there.
Shao Yingying learned about these in advance during the pre-production, and organized the post-production staff and field workers to place the green scenery in accordance with the way agreed a long time ago, and then it was he, the director, to focus on the place, that is, the performance.
On a sparsely populated highway. Shao Yingying is leading the crew of "The Walking Dead" to set up the scene, and the scene that is about to be filmed is the scene where Rick is shot in the first episode of the first season of "The Walking Dead", and the plot should be that the car of several bandits overturned on the side of the road. The bandits, who were not injured as a result, carried guns and fought with the police, and in the process of fighting, two criminals who climbed out of the car were killed, and Rick was shot in the body, fortunately he escaped in a body armor, but no one thought that there was a third gangster in the car, and the third gangster climbed out of the car while Rick was talking. A second shot was fired at Rick's body, which hit him.
The shooting of this scene is actually quite simple, it is not a shot in the head to show the blood bursting out of the shot, and it does not need to be set off by a green set. If you are shot in the head, you will have to have the person who was shot in the head fall on the green set if you can't install a small explosive point or a blood pack, so that you can create a scene where blood splatters when you are shot in the head. Even the bullet holes of a bullet shot in the head need to be post-produced. Because you can't put explosive points and blood packs on the heads of actors.
Joe Bornser, who plays Sean, and Andrew Lincoln, who plays Rick, and several actors in police uniforms next to the police car are ready to shoot, and as soon as the director shouts 'start', they will enter the acting state, which is their professionalism.
"Joe, how about a drink after work?" Andrew didn't expect this TV series to bring him any fame and fortune, how popular can a zombie-themed TV series with only five episodes be even if it is popular? He took on the show just for a $30,000 per episode, nothing more.
"Andrew, you seem to have forgotten one thing, the Oriental director did not allow us to enter the crew for filming after a hangover. It was his discipline, he said. Ha, he thinks we're Marines. ”
This is just a way of ridiculing them in the chat, there is absolutely no disrespect for Shao Yingying, with their current status and identity in Hollywood, Shao Yingying's achievements with two movies are beyond their reach, at least they will not point out the work of others just because they have watched a few movies when they have no achievements, and they will not take themselves too seriously.
"Are you ready?" Shao Yingying asked in the English he had just learned from the translator, and when the actors on the whole set made OK gestures in their positions, Shao Yingying shouted again in English: "Go!" ”
When Rick stepped into the role and cautiously approached the car step by step with a gun, Shao Yingying became suspicious of Rick's police uniform, which was obviously a Texas police uniform, with a cowboy hat, leather boots, and a Colt pistol...... It's just that other people's configurations are different, will this cause the audience in the United States to collectively complain after the show is broadcast? After all, the details that should be paid attention to in a TV series are more important than the movie...... If it weren't for the purpose of highlighting the protagonist, Shao Yingying would definitely not just let the protagonist hold a silver pistol, after all, he would be responsible to the audience.
Rick was slowly approaching the overturned car, and the fog machine on the other side of the car was spraying smoke with a minimum amount to cause mechanical failure after the rollover, at this moment, the door shook a little, and then there was a 'creak', the already twisted door was vigorously pushed open, and the bandit, who was about forty years old in shirts, climbed out of the car.
The bandit's face was covered in blood, and as soon as he showed up, he aimed at Rick and the others with his pistol-holding hand......
On the green grass next to the road, as soon as the bandits appeared behind Rick, the police shouted, "GUN, GUN, GUN!! ”
This is to remind Rick that he has a gun, and Andrew plays the momentum of a police officer, aiming and shouting, "Put down the gun!!!!! ”
Touch!
The bandits fired directly, and then the footage in the six machines in the scene was full of images of the police shooting back.
Shao Yingying pursed his lips, he felt that the play was wrong, this Rick was too heroic, he was the first to rush out, there was no cover in front of him, and his body movements did not dodge bullets under the first reaction, but calmly shot back in the face of the bandits' bullets, do you Mi audiences like this routine? I like to watch bullets turn when I see the protagonist, and the supporting characters are all cowards who dodge guns under cover? Isn't this the land of the free? Isn't that the fear in the face of bullets in the police?
He didn't shout 'click', and for now, he could bear it.
Bump, bump, bump.
Rick was hit and put down by the bandits, and the rest of the police killed the bandits in a return shot, at this time, the small explosion point on the bandit's body exploded at the same time as the plasma, and the bullet holes in the car body under the shootout needed post-production, and the location of the bullet had been pasted with a green dot.
The second bandit climbed out from the other side of the car with a rifle rifle and returned fire. After a shootout, the second bandit was also killed.
The familiarity of Chinese actors with firearms far exceeds that of domestic actors, so. Whether it is the recoil performance after the shot or the performance after being shot, it is not rigid, the first one to play the bandit is still a little exaggerated, leaning on the body of the car and swaying his body left and right when he is shot, in order to show the impact of the shot, Shao Yingying already wants to laugh when he sees this.
It turns out that the United States is not everywhere 'Al Pacino', it seems that in addition to science and technology, the level of many temporary performances may not be comparable to a group of temporary elites cultivated by the hero Huayi. Not to mention the field workers who are often mixed with Shao Hero's crew and are willing to make cameo appearances, they are all cultivated by Shao Yingxing, and they will not show their timidity when they play small roles in third-rate TV dramas.
The second bandit was shot in the chest during a shootout. At the end of a shooting drill in which bombs were flying sideways and empty cartridges were scattered, Joe shouted with a rifle, "Rick! ”
"I'm fine!" Rick, who fell to the ground, responded before slowly getting up.
"I saw you get shot, and it almost scared me to death." Sean, played by Joe, asked with concern.
"I'm no better than you." Andrew's Rick replied to this sentence and said, "That bastard dared to shoot me." Can you believe it all? ”
Rick replied as he examined his bullet armor. If the shot hadn't hit the body armor, he probably wouldn't have gotten up.
"It's time for you to get a change of body armor, isn't it?" Sean was still joking after he was safe.
"Sean, you must not tell Lori about this, you must not ......"
At this moment, the third bandit climbed out of the car, raised his pistol to aim, and then quickly opened fire, the bullet hitting Rick's armpit in the back position. The bomb exploded at exactly this moment - bump.
Andrew took advantage of the performance and shouted, "Ah! ”
Shao Yingying couldn't stand it anymore, and shouted loudly: "Stop!" ”
All the actors were stunned. They didn't understand what Shao Yingying said.
The translator hurriedly changed the word to English and repeated it again, and the group stopped.
Shao Yingying walked over, first walked to Linyan's side with the translator and said: "When you were acting, the play was a little too ......" He said the first bandit who was killed by the police: "You didn't show the impact of the bullet hitting you, even if you wanted to show it, I didn't show it, I didn't want you to lean on the car and sway your body, I want you to perform the concussion of the bullet entering the body, the concussion." Shao Yingying said as he approached the car body, and he dubbed with his mouth: "Touch! Then, his body shook violently under the dubbing and crashed into the car.
Boast.
A sound came out, and everyone watched Shao Yingying squatting in front of the overturned car and squatting and slamming his shoulder on the body of the car, and at the same time, his foot kicked over a piece of turf.
"This is the shot, and besides, you don't give me too much action after the first shot, just give me a nervous reaction." Shao Yingying continued to dub with his mouth: "Touch! Then his body suddenly bounced, no dancing, no fancy performance, simple and direct to the point of instantly convincing people that a shot should be like this, even if maybe the real shot was not like this.
Finally, Shao Yingying walked up to Andrew Lincoln and said, "Rick." He directly called Andrew's name in the play: "I want you to react to me when the gun goes off, I don't want a superhero, Rick is just an ordinary cop now, I want his reaction to be ......"
Shao Yingying used his thumb, index finger and middle finger to compare the style of the pistol, and with the other hand holding his wrist, he cautiously approached the car at first, but when he dubbed out the gun, the whole person changed: "Bump." ”
After the dubbing imitated with his mouth, Shao Yingying shrank his neck vigorously, and the person immediately squatted down, almost at least half a position shorter than just now.
"Also, when you get shot, you can't just show one shot of the bomb exploding, you also have to give something to the other shot, isn't there anyone who teaches you 'how to shoot your hand' when you learn to act? I think you've seen it in countless movies, especially Hollywood movies. ”
Shao Yingying continued to dub with his mouth, and after the sound of 'bump' came out, he threw his hand back violently, as if the impact of the bullet was too strong, knocking him out of a 360° rotation and falling to the ground, even the bounce of his arm on the turf when he fell to the ground was very natural.
"Do it all over again."
After saying all this, Shao Yingying shouted this sentence when he got up from the ground.
Joe, who played Sean, was a little stunned and said to Andrew, "I thought he was a ...... ...... of the fools"
Andrew, who plays Rick, didn't get into Joe's conversation, but said in the same dazed voice: "I now know why Source Code has such a great performance." ”
The two looked at each other and said, "He's a genius at acting." ”
……
The translator walked back with a snicker, and said next to Shao Yingying: "Boss Shao, your actors have given you the highest evaluation, and they say that you are a genius in acting. ”
Shao Yingying pouted and said: "Yes, geniuses don't make movies, they all make TV series." (To be continued......)
