Chapter 701: The plot is simpler

The filming of the crew on the streets of Los Angeles was once obstructed by the Los Angeles County authorities, and these scenes full of explosions and crashes did have a certain degree of uncertainty, but fortunately, after communication from Disney, the crew still got permission to shoot on the spot, but it had to be carried out under the supervision of the municipal authorities.

"Think differently! Shoot differently. ”

After shouting to stop the crew, Michael? Bei jumped off the director's chair on the slide, walked to the other side of the street, and explained to the props and pyrotechnics team for about fifteen minutes, and then came to Ryan's side, "I'm going to add a more impactful set of shots here." ”

"No problem."

Hand over the 'Tinder' to the assistant next to him, Ryan knows Michael? Bey temporarily wanted to add shots, "Michael, you're the director. ”

Upholding and respecting the director's authority on set is something that any qualified producer would do.

"That's it, Ryan."

Because it's a temporary addition, Michael? Bei said carefully, "You take the source of fire and run towards the scheduled Great Xia." ”

Michael? Bei took off his sunglasses, hung them in the pocket of his jacket, ran a few steps ahead, turned his head and said, "Then, an F-22 Raptor fighter in the sky fell. ”

"Let's go for a run."

Ryan picked up the 'Tinder Source' and made a starting gesture, waiting for Michael? Bei nodded, and ran towards the model car that the props team was erecting, about twenty feet away, Michael? Bey stopped first.

"Ryan, after you ran here." He turned his head to look this way, pointed to the three cars that were being put on the catapult, and said,

"The red spider descended, overturned the cars, and blocked your way. Then Tin and the ambulance rush from behind, and the red spider is in a fierce firefight, and you take advantage of the chaos to run past them. ”

"I see." Ryan knows Michael? Bey this is going to add more shots of battles and explosions.

"And." Explosion Bella pulled him, Ryan followed him to the pyrotechnic group, he pointed to some thumb-thick ropes and said, "This is the detonating cord, there will be a lot of arrangement on the ground during the shooting, you must rush over it quickly and don't trip over them." ”

It's a Hollywood blasting prop, even though it's explosive. But the power is not great, but Ryan is also careful, after all, if he is really blown up, even if he will not be injured, it will definitely not be comfortable.

The filming of an explosion scene is not only costly, but also very cumbersome, and it takes nearly two hours just to set up the scene. Fortunately, this kind of scene does not have high requirements for the actors' acting skills, otherwise if the director shouts 'CUT', it will be no less than a disaster for the crew.

"Ryan!" Michael? Bey stood behind the camera on the slide, holding a megaphone and shouting at him. "Are you ready?"

Thumbs up over there, Ryan took the 'Tinder Source' from his assistant, took two deep breaths, and looked ahead.

"Let's go!"

Hear Mike while? Bey's shout. Ryan dodged the two cars that had overturned to the ground and rushed towards the building not far away, the source of the fire that was enough to destroy humanity. He was held tightly in his arms.

He was fast, but in just over ten seconds, he had run dozens of feet, and as he saw his target getting closer and closer, Ryan looked up at the sky as he rushed to the front of a CT specialty store.

Despite the fact that there was only air, he appropriately showed a slightly frightened expression after seeing the red spider, and quickly stopped.

"Boom! Rumble! ”

More than 20 feet ahead, three cars were overturned by red spiders that did not exist in the shooting, flames and thick smoke rose up, and three cars provided by GM were ejected by catapults, and sparks rushed into the sky.

Holding the Tinder with one hand and covering his head with the other, Ryan turned his head and shouted to the back, "Ironskin! Ambulance! ”

After about three seconds of waiting, several places in front and behind were detonated at the same time, and the smoke and flames of war indicated that the battle between the Autobots and Decepticons had begun.

"Ironhide! Ambulance! ”

The male protagonist of this life is not a sullen high school student, Ryan shouts into the air, "Cover me!" Cover me and rush over! ”

With that, he immediately rushed forward again, dodging a burning car on the side of the road, gradually picking up speed, and at the same time nimbly jumping over the detonating cord placed on the road.

Ryan's speed was getting faster and faster, and even if he didn't look back, he knew that wherever he rushed through, there were already flames and smoke, and it was the Red Spider who was chasing him!

"Boom!"

Just over twenty feet to his left, another car was catapulted into the air in the explosion.

In the face of the drifting smoke, Ryan rolled on the black mat on the pavement and ducked behind a small truck, gasping for a few moments and looking in the direction he came.

Naturally, there is no need to see the two factions that will rely on CGI to add in the later stage, but explosions and fires are still frequent, and the cars are either bounced or tumbling or colliding, which seems to prove the fierceness of this battle that does not exist.

The three cameras kept chasing Ryan, and at this point they were even closer to giving him the biggest close-up.

“OK!”

The explosion finally came to an end, and Michael? Bei's voice, "It's over, it's perfect!" ”

Whether it's the props group or the pyrotechnic group, it's all with Michael? Bey has cooperated for more than ten years, and there is no doubt about the tacit understanding between the two sides. Bei's help is actually an obstacle to his transformation.

He has spent more than a decade building a team that shoots the best explosion and impact shots, and if he wants to transform, it means that the whole team must transform, and the difficulty can be imagined.

A successful director does not represent himself, but also has a large and successful team behind him.

"Ryan, you've done a great job!"

Just as Ryan treated the director as much as he did on set, Michael? Bei returned with enough respect.

"Michael." Ryan took the water cup handed by the assistant, took a few sips in a row, and said to the director's chair, "Michael, we have ruined a street in Los Angeles. ”

Although this is an exaggeration, the street that was closed for filming is indeed miserable.

Even without damaging any roads or buildings, the destroyed cars and the 'asphalt blocks' that burst into the air after the explosion were all over the road.

Don't worry too much about this, the crew has already contacted a special cleaning company, and someone will enter this street at night to clean it up and look brand new.

"Do you want more?"

The female assistant that the crew matched Ryan with picked up the water cup and asked, "Do you need something to eat?" ”

"Dark chocolate."

On this day's shooting, Ryan was basically running around in the explosion, and he also felt that he needed to replenish his body, "Take a few more pieces, thank you!" ”

"I think white chocolate would be a better fit."

As soon as he sat down in his chair, Ryan heard a crisp woman's voice next to him, and when he turned his head to look, a tall woman in shapepants walked up to him.

"Hello, Ryan."

"Hello, Miss Ambrosio."

Ryan gently shook the outstretched hand, this was the first time he had seen the heroine of the film.

"Just call me Colleen."

"Alright, Coleen." Ryan gestured to the chair next to him, "Please be seated." ”

The female assistant came over with dark chocolate at this time, and after Ryan took it, he took it apart and stuffed it into his mouth, "The amount of exercise filmed today is a bit large, and I need to replenish my body." ”

"I think white chocolate is more suitable." Alexandra? Ambrosius smiled politely and said, "Dark chocolate is too high in calories. ”

Ryan was noncommittal, and the other party stood up after being reminded by the assistant, "Sorry, I'm going to put on makeup." ”

"Please." Ryan nodded.

These Victoria's Secret angels may not look so beautiful, but they have attractive figures and unusually photogenic appearances, most of them are often two appearances in the camera and outside the camera, and these angels are enough to become a large vase that attracts the audience in the camera.

Well...... This can be regarded as the biggest or even the only role of the heroine.

Filming continues, not to 'ruin' this street beyond recognition, Michael? Bey will not give up.

A huge trailer drove into the street from the parking lot, and an M1A2 main battle tank provided by the U.S. military joined the filming, although all the tank shots would be added in the later stage, but the roar of the engine and the tremor of the road when the more than 60-ton behemoth ran over the road where the crew had laid the protective layer, still made people surprised.

The U.S. military not only sponsored the shooting for free, but also provided a large number of state-of-the-art weapons and equipment.

This tank, which has experienced actual combat, also showed its strength in the shooting, facing the surrounding of several cameras, easily crushed the car arranged by the props team into garbage, if it were not limited by a series of conditions such as roads, Michael? Bey's personality and style may make this tank perform a real combat shoot.

Anyway, the bigger the explosion and the bigger the scale, Michael? The more Bay liked it, because it best met Ryan's requirements for the film.

It's a standard popcorn movie, with all the nonsense stuff that doesn't make any sense.

The filming of the film was carried out in an orderly manner, because it was filmed in the downtown area of Los Angeles, according to the agreement reached between the crew and the Los Angeles municipal government, in order not to affect daily life and business activities, the final battle could only be filmed on the weekend.

When the weekend passed, the streets destroyed by the 'explosion' were rebuilt and restored to their original appearance, and the crew moved to a small town near Los Angeles to prepare for the film's encounter between the two human protagonists.

These have changed dramatically compared to the previous life, and the plot is much simpler and thinner. (To be continued......)
