Chapter 325 Creating a Top-notch Action Design.
"Whoa!"
Twenty-six water dragons poured down from all directions.
Eighteen tons of water rushed in from the water tank by the window in the delivery of the pump, and this is real water after all, just after rushing to the palace, many facilities in the palace began to dump in the impact of these water flows, and some of the more fragile props were directly washed into powder under the bombardment of the water flow!
The destructive power of the water flow is indeed very staggering.
Many cameras were working at this time, leaving precious photos one after another, Luo Mo stood in front of the monitor and watched these happenings, his mouth was always focused on the walkie-talkie, and he might give out his instructions at any time. The shooting of this shot is indeed too important, once there is a slight mistake, it will become an irreparable consequence at that time, and reshooting it will be a waste of countless funds.
Fortunately, after waiting for a few minutes, after Luo Mo watched the replay here, everything was okay, and there were no hard injuries that needed to be retaken. Seeing such an effect, Luo Mo also breathed a sigh of relief, and finally shot these shocking shots, he believed that after these films were added to some post-processing, when they were released on the big screen, the moment the 3D effect appeared, everyone would be able to feel the feeling of the water flowing down from all directions......
Of course, it is impossible for "Inception" to make every shot and every scene into 3D effects, but these big scenes must need 3D effects, and they also need advanced 3D effects like "Avatar". Luo Mo doesn't want to be the originator of fake 3D movies...... You have to take care of some of the proportions of this movie, such as the present. If the 3D effect can be perfectly displayed here, the movie will surely shock everyone who sees it...... Combined with scenes such as the reversal of the streets of Paris and the collapse of the world, it is bound to make them feel thrilling.
Finally, after filming this shot, this European palace, which was built with a lot of money, disappeared and was no longer needed.
Then the crew filmed a few more scenes in the studio, the elevator weightlessness and the scene of the fierce battle in the snow mountain need to be filmed in the studio, but the weightlessness of the elevator needs to use the shooting method that Luo Mo has figured out himself, and the fierce battle in the snow mountain requires a large photographic green screen and a very fine miniature model, and it also needs the information of the real-life shooting of the snow mountain, and it will take a while to build.
In this way, the next set of shots of "The Crew" is to shoot the fierce battle in the rain.
The filming location of this fierce battle was set in Guangzhou, and the filming location in Guangzhou has been contacted...... The police in Guangzhou and the like have all been contacted, and Luo Mo has decided on them, and he will be there tomorrow. It's just that the fierce battle in the rain curtain is different from other scenes, this scene is particularly grand, if you use a Chinese movie as a metaphor, it is the series of car chases and crashes in Jackie Chan's "Police Story 2", and if you use a foreign film as a metaphor, it is the various vehicles that continue to explode in "Die Hard...... There are even fighter jets.
In order to shoot such a big scene, the crew has been prepared here, and today the crew is on the way to Guangzhou. Luo Mo and they all drove directly from the capital, at this moment, in the car, Luo Mo and Yuan Kui were constantly discussing, they already had a sketch in front of them, and on these sketches, many of them would have a rough architectural background, and inside was a human figure outlined with a pencil, and the human figure had many movements, which looked very exquisite.
The two of them here are talking about motion design.
"Inception" is a blockbuster, and it is also an action blockbuster, which of course includes thrilling gunfights and hand-to-hand combat. Compared with the original Nolan's "Inception", Luo Mo's version of "Inception" will not shrink the gunfight scenes, but will add some punch scenes.
This can be regarded as playing to strengths and avoiding weaknesses...... No matter how black you are about domestic movies, at least, just talking about action design, the most powerful in the world is definitely in China. And adding some beautiful fights to the movie, and they don't fight for the sake of fighting, and they don't drag the scenes, and there are scenes, which will add a lot of color to the movie. Of course, there is also a degree to be mastered in the middle, on the one hand, it affects the coherence of the plot by playing too much, and on the other hand, it is ...... Not everyone is Jackie Chan Lee and Zhen Tsaidan, and good-looking scenes may not be able to be played so easily, and it will be troublesome to be self-defeating......
Therefore, now Luo Mo is carefully discussing a few fight scenes in the rain curtain with Yuan Kui.
The gunfight scene is a little better, after all, it's not a hot weapon war movie, as long as there are some explosive points and guns, you can shoot a gunfight scene, and after the CG processing in the later stage of the street, you can create a gunfight effect that people dare not watch, but in hand-to-hand combat, it needs a lot of design.
China's No. 1 martial arts finger is of course Yuan Heping Yuan Baye, his action director is indeed not covered, and Yuan Baye's action director, for what is good-looking, in fact, the reason is very simple, that is, his movie action can be understood and cool! can understand and include the reasons for every fighting action, you punch me and kick me, and the audience knows what you want to fight like this - for example, if the other party has a sweeping leg, then he jumps up and dodges in the air, these are all a chain of cause and effect, and Yuan Heping's action guidance has such characteristics. At the same time, his fight scenes are in line with the physical scene - what will be thrown and fly from which direction, these have a causal connection, so everyone can understand and have a sense of substitution. And the movements he directed, neither fast nor slow, will not slow down like some people, nor will he play too fast, everyone can see clearly.
The second is to watch cool, Yuan Longping's martial arts instruction works, the design movements are smooth and fast, each action has a causal chain, and it is basically an effective action, the power amplifier transformation is targeted, and the close-up of the camera can describe the movie thrilling. (Yuan Baye's action guidance is really not covered, after careful analysis, you will definitely be able to find these characteristics, the simplest to watch a "Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng", you can understand and watch it to the fullest).
The switch between offense and defense in a real fight is a rare moment, and Yuan Heping's action is a highlight after removing the bland fight, and it is an artificially woven collection of offensive and defensive conversion. Coincidentally, there is no book, action scenes are for good looks, so they are based on reality - in order to understand and higher than the real - in order to watch well, just like mainstream feature films are not life, but the epitome (fable) of life. He uses practical combat moves in life to compose, uses beautiful opera skills to perform, uses artificial weaving to make it a chain, and then fine-tunes it to suppress the tone and frustration, so as to establish cause and effect, construct logic, and create full rationality.
Yuan Heping's action design is also a harmony between romance and reality, romance is to extend the truth, it is an exaggeration, it can fill people's regrets about the boring reality, and watching the movie is a psychological carnival. And if you don't grasp the scale well, you will go off the rails, making the audience withdraw from being willingly "deceived", and being too fake and too true will make the audience feel annoyed. There are a minority of viewers who are obsessed with exaggerated styles, there are also a minority of viewers who are obsessed with martial arts realism, and there are also a minority of viewers who are obsessed with a specific style. Yuan's action movies, which are not extreme and conventional, cater to the vast majority. That's why his films are so popular......
However, in "Inception", Luo Mo pursues a slightly exaggerated, but most of them are particularly realistic actions, which are just like in "Guild Wars", which are particularly practical and simple, but there are also many wonderful moves, but they are mainly biased towards realistic style...... And in this regard, Yuan Kui is better at it.
In the midst of this fierce battle of the rain curtain...... Luo Mo himself actually has a certain amount of selfishness, and his own play will be designed a little more, because he has not terminated his martial arts training now, originally in "Painted Skin", some of Luo Mo's difficult actions can already be made, and now that nearly two years have passed, many of his actions have been more handy, and it is very easy to control the strength or something. Under such circumstances, Luo Mo also hopes to show a little more of his skills...... After all, many people always have a martial arts dream in their hearts...... Many people have this, and Luo Mo is no exception.
"If you don't need a stand-in...... In fact, there is not much risk in fighting...... That's the effect...... Yuan Kui spoke very straight, and directly said his idea that he was a little worried that Luo Mo would not be able to beat Lu well.
"It's okay...... When the time comes, you'll be next to you anyway, if you can't beat the Lu well, you can just say it, don't worry about my face. ”
"Okay then." Yuan Kui nodded and agreed.
Soon, the crew has come to Guangzhou.
The scene in the rain has started filming...... The big train rushing out in Luo Mo's "Inception" has to be completed with CG animation, so there is no need to build real-life props now, but those various big scenes, explosions and crashes, and gunfights are still very headaches.
Especially these crash scenes......
Fortunately, Luo Mo also has Yuan Kui and them by his side, Yuan Kui has also filmed big scenes, and he is also very comfortable when directing these shootings, and Luo Mo has also learned a lot of things by his side, because he knows that he will definitely not have fewer movies like this in the future.
"Bang!" In the field of artificial rainfall, surrounded by cameras, a blue taxi from Guangzhou crashed into the car in front of it, and several cameras recorded this scene...... Then, a stunt driver emerged from the car and smiled when he saw the monitor give him a thumbs up.
This kind of large-scale crash scene is very expensive and quite dangerous.
Many of these cars in the vicinity were temporarily collected, and the repair costs of these damaged vehicles were also a large amount of money. But in order to make a good movie, it is worth it.
When filming the gunfight scene, there was also a wave of vibrations here, and when the explosions exploded one by one, Luo Mo was on the monitor side, and suddenly felt a kind of panic in his heart...... Because he remembered that when he was filming "My Regiment Leader, My Regiment", in front of him, when he was inspecting one bombing point after another, the two pyrotechnics who were directly killed were killed.
Luo Mo's face was slightly pale, and his breathing became a little short.
Although he didn't let people see his abnormality, it was as if there was a wild horse crashing into his heart...... Recently, he still has very little rest, and he still has occasional headaches, and now, Luo Mo unconsciously began to wonder if he really had something wrong with his brain?
It's not that he's timid, it's not that he's hypocritical, it's just that something like a nightmare suddenly rushes up and seems to want to snatch control of his body. He could almost see someone in his crew lying in a pool of blood...... This feeling almost overwhelmed Luo Mo.
As if in a coma, I don't know the time of the road, I don't know how long the road has been long, when the scene reporter Wan Anhui knocked on the field board, Luo Mo seemed to wake up all of a sudden, looking at the eyes, under the spray of the special water pipe, the artificial rain was still pouring down, and the actors were completing the preparations one by one, and immediately their assistants walked over and put on raincoats for them.
Luo Mo actually seemed to have been drained of all his strength......
He really didn't know what was wrong with him.
But no matter what, the movie has to go on.
