Chapter 367: The Dawn Reappears
"Attention units!"
"Let's shoot!"
Sitting in the director's chair is not Alex, but Morris, the president of DreamWorks, who plays the Jedi Knobi who has died under the lightsaber of the Black Knight. After finishing his work, he did not leave the crew, but continued to stay to help Alex shoot the following episodes.
At this time, Alex had already put on the black armor and fought Luke with a lightsaber in hand. This kind of battle of theirs, of course, is not in the original, you compete with one sword and one sword, and it is too boring to sit like that.
The fights in the new version of Star Wars have not only increased, but they have also been redesigned. Originally, Alex wanted to find Bruce Lee, and the two designed the fighting moves in it together. It's a pity that after this guy's martial arts is halfway done, because there are too many emergencies in Hong Kong, he is always disturbed by outside things and interrupts the normal rhythm of work.
In the end, Alex had no choice but to ask Shi Jian, Hu Jinquan, and Liu Jialiang to help. In fact, Alex can do it himself, his mental space is so powerful, as long as he shakes someone's hand, he can copy the puppet inside, and then he can do whatever he wants.
However, he considered that he needed to use so many martial arts fingers to make a movie this time, and it was also an opportunity for Hong Kong filmmakers. I ran to copy other people's experience and skills, and it was nothing, they had nothing to lose, but Alex got the benefits.
In order to give back to the other party, and to increase his influence on this world, Alex simply brought these people in. It can not only help design the action, but also allow these veteran martial arts film directors to embrace new thinking. Of course, not everyone bought his account, for example, Zhang Che politely declined the invitation because he didn't have time.
The last one came over was Shi Jian and the other three.
Alex wasn't disappointed, he was just a whim, as long as someone was willing to help, no matter who it was.
Speaking of designing actions, Shi Jian and Alex have made movies together, and they have accepted the shooting techniques of new actions early. There is no running-in problem. As for the directors Hu Jinquan and Liu Jialiang. Their receptivity was a little worse, and after communicating with Alex for a long time, they couldn't understand what kind of effect he wanted.
In the end, Alex still asked Shi Jian to check it. Become the person in charge of the martial arts. Then he left that thing behind. Anyway, after the action is designed. If it doesn't qualify, he will still call it back mercilessly and let them redesign it.
This fight scene filmed today. is a set of actions designed by Shi Jian, Hu Jinquan and Liu Jialiang, and after a period of running-in, these three people have slowly adapted to the Hollywood workflow. Of course, they just adapted to making movies at DreamWorks, and if they switch to other film companies, they will probably have to run in again.
In DreamWorks, the director is the most accurate speaker in the crew, and now it is everyone's boss Alex who is the director. Of course, no one objected to his words, even if he asked for a set of shots to be shot hundreds of times, resulting in a serious overspending, then there was no objection to shooting.
If it were changed to other film companies, if that director dared to do this, it is estimated that the producer would have scolded his mother a long time ago.
These three martial arts fingers from Hong Kong looked at the shooting scene very intently, watching how the black warrior and Luke punched and kicked, swords and swords. There are many wonderful clips in it, which they have contributed, and in the process, they have also learned a lot, which I believe will be of great help to their future film careers.
After watching it for a while, Hu Jinquan suddenly said to Liu Jialiang beside him: "The big boss is very skilled, he doesn't even need a stand-in for such an action, and he can pass it if he can do it." ”
Liu Jialiang frowned and nodded, expressing his agreement with Hu Jinquan's statement, but he did not speak, but kept staring at the field.
On the contrary, Shi Jian spoke: "Director Hu, when I saw you appear in the crew, I couldn't believe it!" ”
"Hehe," Hu Jinquan smiled, he said, "Why don't you believe it?" Do you think that I can't accept Hollywood's new ideas? ”
"It's not, I just want the Shaw brothers to let you come over to learn things, aren't they afraid that you will be poached by the big boss?"
Hearing Shi Jian's words, Hu Jinquan and Liu Jialiang's faces changed slightly, and it was even more obvious that Hu Jinquan was reluctant to continue talking about this topic.
Seeing this situation, Shi Jian had an idea in his heart: "The boss is really powerful, and he dug up the pillars of the Shaw brothers at once." Looking at their appearance, they must be moved to continue talking, and when this movie is finished, it is estimated that these two people will not be willing to go to the small broken temple of the Shaw Brothers. ”
Indeed, the fish that have swam across the sea never want to go back to the small pool to eat and die. Alex gave a condition that would definitely make the devil move, let alone these two ambitious talents.
“CUT!”
Morris let out a loud roar, interrupting the trio's thoughts. The actors in the audience stood up straight and relaxed, and the tricks that pretended to be corpses also got up from the ground.
Alex took off his helmet and took a few deep breaths of fresh air, the black armor he was wearing was not made of plastic, in order to pursue realism and good looks, Alex redesigned a set of armor and found someone to make it of metal.
With such a set of armor on the body, it has long been difficult for ordinary people to move, let alone bounce and move, fight and dodge. However, none of this is a big deal for Alex, and he just wants to make the film better.
"How?" Alex walked up to Morris and asked, "How was the shooting?" Do I need a remake? ”
"I see a good shot, I can pass it!"
"Oh? Let me see! ”
Alex put his head in front of the camera's video screen and looked at the footage he had just taken, and thought it was really good. You can move on to the next scene.
According to the plot, after Luke first fought with the Black Knight, he was quickly defeated because Luke's strength was inferior to his father. However, the Black Knight did not hurt the black hand, but left his hand everywhere to allow Luke to escape.
This clip is not in the original version, Alex Gado's part, on the one hand, wants to lay the groundwork for the later unraveling of the father-son relationship between Luke and the Black Knight, so that the audience will have a feeling of sudden realization after watching it, and it will not seem very abrupt. The other side is trying to go through this plot. leads to the adventures of Luke's apprenticeship.
By the way. In the original version, the plot of Solo and Princess Leia sparking was deleted, and after Alex reset, when Princess Leia became a Jedi, she vowed to remain chaste for the rest of her life. Won't have sex with any man.
And that's not all. Princess Leah also set out to form a group of Jedi knights made up of women. It plays a very important role in the backstory of Star Wars and has a huge influence. At the end, Princess Leah was revered as the "Valkyrie"!
Not bad. Alex just wants to describe Princess Leah as a character like the "Moon God", with super combat power that is not weaker than her brother Luke, and she has also adhered to chastity and strict self-discipline all her life.
Such a character has a very big impact on the concept of this era, and he is a character with quite a personality. For feminists in particular, Princess Leah's self-reliant spirit shines like a beacon of light.
Similarly, Princess Leah's personality is also quite attractive to men, and Karen who plays her gives a completely different impression, and the personalities of the two are one strong and one soft, one yin and one yang, forming a certain kind of fascinating attraction. This also made many men quickly captured by Princess Leah and became a loyal fan of Karen.
However, what Alex didn't expect was that when entering the 21st century and engaging in base culture became popular, Princess Leia's behavior and personality traits had a new explanation, and many people thought that Princess Leia was gay, which is why she seemed so strong and determined. Because I like women, I don't get close to men, etc.
After Alex finished filming the footage of the fight between the Black Knight and Luke, he immediately turned his energy to the special effects team, and as for the other scenes where the Black Knight did not appear, he handed it over to Morris to shoot. Anyway, the two of them have been working together for so long, they know each other very well, and they both know how far the other party can do, and he still trusts Morris's strength.
After arriving at the special effects team, someone immediately came to report the progress of the work to Alex.
"How's the piece of the Death Star destruction I requested?" Alex asked.
"I've already made several versions, please come over here and watch!" The head of the special effects team said. He led Alex to a 3-meter-diameter model of the Death Star, surrounded by models of spaceplanes and warships.
These models are made of clay and then glued to make them look like the real thing, just in a different size. In the camera, you can't see any difference.
Alex came over this time just to see the footage of the Death Star being blown up, these are all special effects shots, and he doesn't need to point fingers, just put forward requirements and ideas, and let the special effects team complete it. As for some scenes that are more difficult to achieve, it may be necessary to adjust the script or add funds and manpower to solve them.
In "Dawn Reappears", Alex didn't make the mistake of making people laugh out of his big teeth, at least Lucas was ridiculed for decades, and until the 21st century onwards, some people talked about the weaknesses of the Death Star design.
The ultimate weapon of destruction, commonly known as the "Death Star", has been achieved to the point of perfection. In terms of attack power, it can blow up a planet with a single shot. In terms of defense, no weapon can destroy his appearance. Unless someone stabs its chrysanthemum, which is a small hole a few meters in diameter, attacking it is equivalent to attacking a power reactor!
Oh, my God!
Dare to stay with such a terrible flaw, don't you know that some faggets in the road like to stab people in the chrysanthemum? Under the teaching of Kenobi, a big, Luke also learned the Force's trick of stabbing people in the chrysanthemum, and one move into the soul made the Death Star cool into pieces.
Lucas's wisdom is bad in this small hole, not only makes people doubt Kenobi's sexuality, but even Luke can't escape the fate of being radicalized.
Alex wouldn't make such a mistake, in the Death Star Destruction War he designed, Princess Leah got the blueprints just to let them know the weaknesses of the Death Star, but it was impossible to break it from the outside, and they had to kill inside. This requires a space battle scene where the planes cover the movements of Princess Leah and Luke.
And it's useless for ordinary people to kill it, you have to be a Jedi. Only the Jedi's lightsaber can overload the reactor and explode at the worst.
In Alex's adaptation of the story, after Princess Leah and Luke enter the Death Star, they find the power reactor and insert a lightsaber into the center, and after ten minutes, the reactor will overload and explode due to the lightsaber, and eventually the entire Death Star will explode from the inside.
