The preparation for "Superman v Batman" is almost the same now.

Especially the script, after all, it has been polished.

Tonight, after some discussion, the entire script of "Superman v Batman" was finally finalized, and then after the most final preparations, "Superman v Batman" will start filming.

The name of "Superman v Batman" is actually mainly for a gimmick, letting people know that there are two very popular superheroes here, Superman and Batman, in fact, this film is mainly to build the world view of the Justice League, so that a huge world world will kick off in front of everyone's eyes.

And such a shooting process will inevitably be voluminous.

On February 25, the filming of "Superman v Batman" officially began.

"Superman v Batman" will choose to shoot in Detroit, and the news of this article has just come out, which immediately attracted a lot of controversy, many of which involve Luo Mo behind it, so many people also came to ask why Luo Mo's movie finally chose to shoot in Detroit.

Luo Mo faced the reporters and said for a very good reason: "The cityscape of Detroit has a very obvious American character, and I hope to make this film here." As you know, "Transformers 4" eventually chose to shoot the Autobot battle scene here, so "Superman v Batman" was filmed here to make the scene more beautiful. ”

That's a good point, but in fact, everyone knows the real reason why "Superman v Batman" chose to shoot here.

In December last year, Detroit became the largest bankrupt city in U.S. history after the official announcement of the United States, and the government's fiscal revenue is too single, the tax population is lost in large numbers, the tax base is shrinking, and the competitiveness of the automobile industry has become the main reason for the city's bankruptcy...... So, after surviving for some time, they eventually lost the financial crisis and became the first of their kind to go bankrupt in a mega-city.

In this case, "Transformers 4" and "Superman v Batman" are filmed here for reasons related to the US government, as well as for the movie itself, because the film crew will shoot here, which will provide 426 full-time jobs here, and promise to hire 406 local workers to participate in the production process. In addition, the film will also involve the cooperation of 500 local economic entities, not to mention these virtual things, just to say that the hotel accommodation cost of the crew here will also exceed 5 million US dollars......

Of course, if you shoot here, "Superman v Batman" can also get a lot of preferential policies in Detroit, and there is also a certain amount of financial support, and the funds saved through discounts and financial support may be as high as 40 million US dollars, which is also a good thing for the huge cost of "Superman v Batman".

"Superman vs. Batman" is more wealthy because of the capital injection of Qianmo Entertainment Company, which not only invited Bell, but also expanded a lot of costs of "Superman vs. Batman", and the length of the movie will increase accordingly.

"Superman vs. Batman" will also become the highest-cost film Luo Mo has directed so far in his career.

However, when filming this film in Detroit, safety issues also need to be taken seriously, not only during filming, but also in the surrounding area......

Because Detroit has completely degenerated and become a black city, although it is said that Americans used to discriminate against blacks is not tolerated, but in fact, their discrimination also has some truth, and there are frequent cases in black ghettos, and these people dare to do anything.

Although China is facing various problems, the United States is really not a paradise, and there are many criminal cases here, and they also have many irreconcilable contradictions and problems.

The crew is filming here, and many people directly sent messages to Luo Mo and said, I hope he can pay attention and don't hang up here......

It's not going to be that bad, it's a big team, and Superman v Batman has a lot of jobs, which is a good thing for the locals, and they're going to try to maintain it.

Before Superman v Batman arrived in Detroit for filming, there were some long shots that needed to be shot in Los Angeles......

This shot is first and foremost a real shot.

This live shot was not arranged in advance, but a direct filming of a rugby game.

In the United States, rugby is the most popular ball game, more popular than their basketball, and the annual rugby game is the program that these American people who need to vent their attention to the most.

But the crew was very low-key in the break between football games on this day, and today, in the weingart stadium between the two football teams of East Los Angeles College and Victor Valley College, the real players and spectators began the scene. The crew members who came to the scene today are all cast and crew, including Luo Mo, but the protagonists of the movie, Bell and Cavill, did not appear.

The movie ended in less than ten minutes of shooting, but even if it was just such a shooting, the crew had to give all the fans present a commemorative dress each, and there was also a lottery on the spot, and the prizes for the success of the lottery were Nokia mobile phones and LCD TVs......

Therefore, just for such a scene, the crew spent hundreds of thousands of dollars......

Luo Mo really wants to say that this is too fucking expensive! However, Hollywood blockbusters are expensive in these places, and everyone can't blame them.

After the filming was completed, Luo Mo faced a series of interviews with reporters, and he couldn't escape, so he could only answer a few questions casually, and he didn't reveal anything about the core things of the crew.

The first scene of "Superman v Batman" is the fight between Gotham University and another university at a football game here, which also connects Gotham City to the outside world.

After that, the "Superman v Batman" crew began filming something that needed to be crafted, and those shots were done in Los Angeles.

The first thing to shoot is a city vista, an urban vista of Gotham City.

To capture the footage of the majestic buildings and Venn Industries in the heart of the city, the props created a 40×80-square-foot, 1/12th scale miniature, which they filmed and composited into a Gotham City shot.

This miniature was later synthesized with a real city scene, which would be used for helicopter aerial photography.

Luo Mo is not a retro person, he will use CG where he can use CG, but in the process of shooting, he found that many times the films made with retro film shooting methods such as film and models will have a more realistic texture and look better.

Just as machinery still can't replace manual work in some places, the traditional Hollywood film industry also has places that the times can't erod.

In addition, the crew created a 1/3 scale miniature of the 10×30-square-foot parking lot and surrounding buildings, using burnt aluminum panels to decorate them, while also creating details such as standing water and scattered 'mini' newspapers. The outermost part of the miniature scene is surrounded by a green screen, and the radio operator is in a very vantage point to remotely control the Batmobile in action......

There are Chinese and Americans in the props team, although the prop masters of the Luo family gang have a lot of experience in shooting large-scale movies, and they are already familiar with the shooting of many movies, but in some details, they are still not as meticulous as the American props team, so they are also learning a lot in the process of shooting, learning the traditional film industry of Hollywood.

This process will bring them a lot of progress, and when they go back to making Chinese movies after they finish their studies, it can be said to be a piece of cake.

This time, the Batmobile from Superman v Batman has been redesigned.

Nolan's Batman trilogy has also redesigned the Batmobile, the design concept is not only to be beautiful, but also to be practical, because in the old version of Batman, the Batmobile is designed beautifully but it looks like a vase, which makes people feel impractical at all, Nolan's version of Batman's Batmobile is beautiful and more practical, using the design concept of F1 cars......

Luo Mo's Batmobile, which integrates the design concept of Lamborghini Contash and the special armored vehicles used by the army, needs to be able to easily complete many actions such as overtaking, tail flicking, jumping, and acceleration during specific shooting, and can be unscathed in violent collisions.

And his Batmobile is also different from Nolan's version of the ......

The redesigned Batmobile looks like a sports car, without the four wheels that are particularly large, but in the dark and streamlined body, covered with black armor, there are two prismatic air intakes in the front, and the prismatic shape is full of modern technology and looks particularly beautiful.

So, in other words, it's very helpless, Luo Mo's version of the Batmobile is mainly pretty, and it won't be as practical as the Batmobile of Nolan's version of the Batman trilogy, but it is indeed more beautiful than the Batmobile in appearance.

These designs are a lot of big projects, so "Superman v Batman" has been preparing since October last year, and it has only now been completed.

Of course, after the preparations were completed, the filming of "Superman v Batman" was still very fast, and some of the filming in Los Angeles was completed in less than a week, and then it was time to shoot in Detroit. Unlike the filming in Los Angeles, which is mainly for the preparation of later scenes and some places, the shooting in Detroit is mainly live-action, and many places in Los Angeles are for the preparation of filming Batman, while many places in Detroit are to shoot Batman and Superman in real life, filming the confrontation and sympathy between them.

The filming of Detroit is the essence of "Superman v Batman", and it will also be the place where Luo Mo's directing skills, screenwriting skills and various control abilities are most tested.

After studying at USC, Luo Mo's ability to shoot now is almost the same as before, and he has something of his own to control this film.
