Chapter 470: Great Sandstorm (Ask for Support!)

When the afternoon or evening shooting began, most of the crew knew what Mr. Director had done at noon

However, nothing was said.

No way, this kind of thing is very common in Hollywood-

The heroes and heroines of the movie often come to the last paragraph when they can't control it for a while while while filming, and as the bigwigs behind the scenes, the trailers of directors, producers and photographers are also the "hardest hit areas" where "local earthquakes" often occur.

- They need to be "PR"!

Although Charlotte has always refused to be "public relations", recently, he and Charlize have been in and out of the crew, and there are not a few dog foods.

- Don't say it, every time the two go to the depths of the desert to "sandboard", there will always be some changes in the girl's dress after they come back, what happened during the period......

You're not kids!

So, it's normal for a trailer to shake today.

The focus of the entire "Mummy" crew is still on the filming of the movie. And what is more discussed is the magical mirage of the morning.

Unlike Charlize, who knows the inside story, the rest of the crew was shocked by Charlotte's performance that can be called "knowing astronomy and geography".

Even though Charlotte Xuancheng got the secret scenery after asking the local natives, everyone still looked at the director with admiration and witnessed the miraculous moment with everyone.

As a result, Charlotte's prestige in the crew has been further strengthened.

- Although veterans of the Ghost Party Studios such as Old Gun also know about spells. But after all, they didn't expect that Charlotte would be able to "call the wind and rain".

Even because of this, their awe of Charlotte has become deeper.

In short, this increase in prestige has made Charlotte's command of the entire "Mummy" crew even more intimate.

This has improved the progress of filming a lot.

In this case, as the representative of the global investor, Sean Daniel no longer always looks like someone owes him money.

He even pestered Charlotte and kept asking Charlotte if he could shoot some other wonders in the desert and put them in the movie.

- No way, the previous mirage was too shocking.

Compared with the mirage synthesized with special effects in most movies, the mirage filmed by the crew of "The Mummy" is simply overwhelming.

It's okay on a small screen, but it's okay on a big screen-

Anyway, Sean Daniel thinks that just being able to see such a shocking mirage scene is already worth the ticket price of the movie.

In particular, as a photographer, Addison Young was also notified by Charlotte in advance that he had adopted a dim filter that could further accentuate the feeling of a mirage......

So much so that when Sean Daniel saw the original dailies, he even had the idea that this shot should not be cut.

Of course, this is too unlikely.

- "The Mummy" is, after all, a fantasy comedy, not a documentary about natural scenery.

But Sean Daniel, who has become a staunch live-action photographer, has come up with the idea of other wonders in the desert.

For example, sandstorms –

"Don't you think that in the second half of the script, after **OSS Immorton fully regained his human form, he summoned a sandstorm to devour the plane of O'Connor and others who came to rescue Evelyn, and if we shot a real sandstorm in real life, it would be very shocking?"

Sean Daniel did his best to encourage Charlotte.

In this regard, Mr. Director's answer is-

"Don't you think that's dangerous?"

Charlotte is very straightforward,

"Sandstorms are even more dangerous than tornadoes, and if we were to photograph them, we would be buried alive if we weren't careful—in that case, we'd quickly become dehydrated and mummified. ”

"This ......"

Sean Daniel knew Charlotte was right.

Although the crew was on location and made special preparations to deal with sandstorms, what they could deal with was a smaller-scale sandstorm after all.

If you encounter a big sandstorm, the best thing to do is to run away as soon as possible.

Or to be more precise, the preparation of the crew, and the well-sealed trailer, can allow the actors of the crew to survive the large-scale sandstorm safely, but the various equipment and equipment of the crew are difficult to survive unharmed.

Therefore, in the face of a large sandstorm, the best way is to avoid it in advance.

Of course, the reason why the "Mummy" crew chose the location in the desert not far from Chefchaouen is because the climate and environment here are not bad.

Normally, a natural phenomenon like a sandstorm, which will cause a lot of economic losses to the crew, will not appear here.

Therefore, the natural wonder that Sean Daniel is looking forward to is probably not likely to appear.

- in a purely natural situation.

And now, after listening to Sean Daniel's advice, Charlotte has an idea -

Sandstorm, he might be able to take advantage of it......

However, no matter how you plan to take advantage of the sandstorms in the Moroccan desert, the filming of the "Mummy" crew on location will not stop.

Because most of the shots of underground exploration do not require exterior locations, but have a lot of fantasy elements, Charlotte is preparing to set up a studio to shoot this part of the content after returning to London.

- Some of this also requires the use of green screen photography.

And on location near Chefchaouen, the "Mummy" crew needed to shoot mostly some shots in the desert.

This part of the shot is dominated by action scenes, and although it is hard to shoot, it is mostly not difficult.

However, it is also this part that best expresses the magnificent scenery of the desert.

As for the city shots of Cairo at the beginning of the 20th century, the crew set up another location near Casablanca.

There, a series of shots of Immorton and his infected Egyptians hunting down O'Connor and Evelyn will be filmed.

Now, Lao Gun is directing some of the crew, building this location.

And the footage of the location near Chefchaouen was quickly filmed -

"Pack up all the equipment, we'll leave here tomorrow morning!"

After the morning shooting, Charlotte gave instructions to the crew.

And Sean Daniel on the side asked a question,

"So, Charlotte, why don't we take the opportunity to demolish some of the exterior set-ups that we've built here? The Moroccan government doesn't want us to leave some of the filming garbage behind and affect their income from desert tourism. ”

"Well...... Let's wait until we're done packing up all the equipment!"

Charlotte looked at the weather vane on the top of the nearby RV that was being blown more and more violently by the wind, and suddenly smiled and said to Sean Daniel,

"Sean, look at the meaning, we may really run into the wind and sand that you are looking forward to, do you still want to shoot?"
