Facing the reporters at the press conference.

"Ahem, do you have any questions for me?" Mel Gibson couldn't bear the "loneliness" and took the initiative to enthusiastically greet reporters.

A small reporter was stunned for a moment, thinking he had misheard.

This is absolutely unprecedented, he interviewed Gibson before, it's amazing, three sticks can't beat a fart, the big name is very, that interview made the little reporter suffer, but now...... This guy actually took the initiative to ask for an interview?!

So, the little reporter tentatively asked, "Excuse me, Mr. Gibson, what do you think of the role you are about to play?" ”

"My opinion is very simple, the king of Sparta I play is definitely a wise and brave character! Yes, he combines the wisdom of Wallace with the courage of a patriot, and I, will perfectly shape this character! Mel Gibson smiled and answered perfectly.

"Compared to Mr. Clinton's Xerxes," the reporter asked, "who do you think will perform better?" ”

This issue is very suspicious of sowing discord, and it is also a good trick for journalists, after all, breaking the news is to constantly create "grievances and hatreds".

Gibson laughed, as a veteran Hollywood actor, where would he not know the "depth" of this question.

"President Clinton is a very good person, and I believe that he will play a better role than his last role!"

"Aren't you afraid that he will surpass you in the limelight?" The reporter was reluctant to ask.

"No, I'm just afraid he can't surpass me, yes. For what I will appear in this play. Because I love a challenge! Gibson laughed haughtily.

……

No one would have thought of it. is a very simple start-up ceremony, but it has become a position for actors to intrigue.

Compared with Mel Gibson and Bill Clinton, the two guys who were "jealous" at the press conference, Jason Statham, as a newcomer, met with good luck.

Specifically, there was a black female reporter who was very curious about him, watching him sit on the cold bench, and asked him a few questions unbearably, but when Jason said that he was from England, the female reporter also came. "Me too!" Dare to love this is a British journalist.

Jason added, "I used to be an athlete!" ”

The black female reporter screamed again: "Oh God, me too!" ”

Fate?!

Jason was stunned.

The black female reporter was interested, and couldn't help but whisper an invitation: "Are you free tonight, have a meal together?" You can also go to my place to have a cup of coffee after eating! "Silky eyes.

Looking at the black girl's spring appearance, Jason refused very gentlemanly: "I'm sorry, I'm an actor, I don't have time!" "But I was shouting in my heart, you are too dark, not my dish!

Where would a black female reporter understand Jason's mind? But for him, she was really interested. I couldn't help but ask other questions, such as, "How were you chosen?" "How do you feel about this character?" "What do you think is the most attractive place?"

Faced with this series of problems, Jason is very stylish, I saw him smile and said: "The reason why I was picked is mainly because the crew is attracted by my appearance and acting skills, although I am not a person who likes to praise myself, but seriously, I feel that I am very talented in acting, and sooner or later I will become an action star in Hollywood!" ”

"For this role, I feel very good, it is very suitable for me, because I am very general, and the director also said that this role is very suitable for me!"

"The last question, you ask me what I am most satisfied with and most attractive...... Oh, this is not easy to answer, how to say, I feel that I am very good all over my body, very satisfied, but it is still muscles, I am very satisfied with my muscles, especially abdominal muscles, really, many people praise me for my abdominal muscles! ”

Everyone was stunned by Jason's super narcissism, and the black female reporter opened her mouth even wider, and then said something very bullish, "Then can you show your abs and have a look?" ”

What's even worse is that Jason immediately said: "Okay! "As soon as the clothes are lifted, the flesh will be exposed!

Oh my God!

In an instant, everyone was amazed, such majestic chocolate abs, wow, the muscles can dance!

The reporters who were originally holding on to Mel Gibson and Bill Clinton were also stunned by the sudden "fragrant" scene here.

All the media, all the flashes, crackling at Jason's abs is a wild shot.

Jason has no stage fright, in full view, under the spotlight, doing all kinds of poses that can show his perfect body, at that moment, he became the focus of attention!

Gibson and Clinton, who were left out in the cold, looked at each other, and then looked at Jason, who was in the limelight, and only had one sentence in his heart, test, this is okay?!

No one could have imagined that the entire boot conference scene was changing rapidly, and the most beautiful thing was the newcomer Jason Statham who suddenly popped up. For Gibson and Clinton, this kid is too cheating, and Yi Feiyang, as a director, has no heart to study these, because he is about to officially announce his return to the world through the media.

At the end of the day, Yi Feiyang stood up energetically and said to everyone: "At the end of the day, thank you again for your attention to my play!" I officially announce that Spartan 300 Warriors is officially launched! ”

……

The first shot, according to the plot of the story. Persia sent an emissary, galloping on a tall horse, announcing the decree of the Persian Emperor Xerxes, demanding the submission of Greece.

This scene of "Fierce Horse Galloping" is more difficult to shoot, especially when it is shot with a blue screen, which needs to shoot the posture of a fierce horse galloping on an endless road.

In order to achieve this kind of camera effect, Yi Feiyang specially sent someone to find a racing horse worth millions, and then let the actor ride it, provoke it, and make it run wild on the treadmill, yes, on the treadmill.

But this racing horse is different from people after all, and it is "very uncooperative" in some aspects, so Yi Feiyang has no choice but to tell the actor to communicate with it, communicate, and feed it forage. Care about it. Caress it. Make it feel cared for and loved.

Not to mention, this horse is very humane, and the actor finally got along with it very well, but during the shooting, it shook its hooves again, and Yi Feiyang only understood that it seemed to have a fear of the camera.

Animals are animals after all.

Helpless, Yi Feiyang had no choice but to step forward in person. Care for it, caress it, feed it forage......

The first shot of the hard press, in this way, was finally successfully filmed in the hard communication.

Next, Mel Jebson, who plays the male lead, plays the Spartan king Leoni, who is angry with the arrogance and rudeness of the Persian envoys and the insult to Greece. Kick the opponent off the sinkhole, and let out a roar of battle.

For this set of shots. Yi Feiyang attaches great importance to it, because a movie is like an intuitive novel, and whether it can attract the audience depends on whether the first five minutes are passionate, bloody, and suspenseful, and only in this way can we firmly grasp the hearts of the audience and let them continue to watch.

For this reason, Yi Feiyang attaches great importance to the beginning of this play.

The camera is positioned on the track, the blue screen background is already in place, and then there is the prop-designed "sinkhole", which is a kind of 3D painting "big pit", which is visually sure to deceive your eyes.

The gaffer adjusts the light to a warm level to avoid astigmatism from the blue screen behind him.

Yi Feiyang, who was sitting behind the camera, saw that everything was ready, so he took the loudspeaker and shouted: "Ike God! ”

Filming officially began.

The horse raised its front hooves and stopped at the palace of the king of Sparta.

The arrogant Poster glanced at the Spartan janitor with a haughty attitude, and said contemptuously, "Let your king come out, I have brought the decree of His Majesty the Great Emperor Xerxes!" ”

Lens transitions.

Gibson plays King Leoni on the field, with a scarlet cloak, a golden crown, and the sword of kings.

Gibson has a great figure, muscular muscles, and has the appearance of a lion when he played Wallace, and of course, it can also be reminiscent of the Mayan leader in the "Apocalypse" he starred in in his previous life.

Leoni: "You're the envoy from Persia?" ”

Envoy: "Yes, I am!" Are you the king of Sparta? "The eyes are contemptuous, contempt.

Leoni's face remained unchanged, and his eyes looked at each other resolutely, "I am." But why don't you salute? ”

Envoy: "Salute?" As an envoy of Post, I will only salute our great Emperor Xerxes, and there is no need for a small state like you Greece! ”

……

"Pay attention to feelings, you must pay attention to feelings!" Yi Feiyang told behind the camera, "Emotional changes should be layered......

Inside the camera.

Leony: "Well, may I ask what news did you have brought to you from Emperor Xerxes?" The tone is sarcastic, this is a provocation to the Persian Empire.

The envoy was furious: "Bold, you dare to call our majesty's name? ”

Leony's eyes widened, "So what?" Are you not convinced? ”

Spartan warriors on both sides were ready to move.

Post softened, and said with some inwardness: "Okay, I don't bother with a barbarian like you!" ”

Leony: "Alright, you softass, read your bullshit!" ”

The envoy blushed and his neck was thick, "You, damn it! Cursed in his heart, he read: "Our great Emperor Xerxes has edicted the king of Greece ......"

What followed was a series of unequal treaties to the effect that Greece would be subservient and pay tribute.

This is an absolute shame for the Spartans to admit defeat before the war has been fought.

close-up,

Leoni's face was full of anger, and his eyes erupted with fire: "Shut up! You're insulting Sparta! ”

The envoy smacked, "What about insulting you?" If you refuse, our Persian army will sweep through Sparta, and then you will perish! ”

Leoni smiled, weirdly, horribly, "Are you threatening me?" ”

The envoy stiffened, "So what? As the king of Sparta, you will die without a place to be buried! ”

Leony: "Really? Then, you go and die first! ”

In a close-up, Leoni kicks the angry Post into the sinkhole.

“CUT！” Director Yi Feiyang shouted to stop, "This angle is not right, Gibson, you have to face the camera." Yes. Then kick it out hard! ”

"And the envoy. Your expression must be so exaggerated, okay? You are kicked, not struck by lightning, you don't need to squeeze your eyebrows, you just need to open your mouth wide and look in fear. ”

"OK, everyone in place, if it's okay, shoot again!" Yi Feiyang arranged for the camera and the actors to be re-buried and started filming again.

This time the shooting went well. Originally, as a veteran actor, Mel Jebson was very good at all aspects such as standing during the shooting, and after a little correction, the performance was in place, as for the "Post", the expression of the kicking was a little exaggerated, but the expression was still quite shapely, in a word, it can be adjusted.

Shoot it down in one day, and it's fast. According to Yi Feiyang's plan, it is estimated that it will be released on time before Christmas.

But by the next day. Yi Feiyang doesn't think so.

The scene to be filmed on this day is that after the Spartan king Leoni killed the Poste envoy, the Persian emperor Xerxes was furious and sent troops to destroy Sparta.

Thousands of huge ships carrying hundreds of thousands of Persian troops marched towards Sparta.

In other words, the day was filmed with war scenes. If you follow the traditional shooting method, it is of course to shoot the sailing of giant ships on the sea, battles and other modes, like the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series filmed before Fantasy Entertainment, which directly chartered a port for on-site shooting. However, this kind of shooting method costs too much money, not to mention thousands of huge ships, but only to say that there are thousands of soldiers, which is a large expense.

Fortunately, Yi Feiyang's chosen shooting technique is blue-screen shooting, which is commonly known as "fake scene post-special effects" shooting. In front of a large blue curtain, the war scene to be represented is performed, and then post-processed in the computer, similar to the previous life directed by Li Press's "Life of Pi", but this kind of scene is much simpler than it, because it does not need to be made into 3D, just some simple Hollywood special effects.

The team successfully produced the cartoon "Speed Snail" before, and then followed DreamWorks, as well as industrial light and magic and other predecessors, learned a lot of experience, and also accumulated a lot of actual combat, and now in Yi Feiyang's view, it is fully capable of controlling the special effects of this play. Of course, in some special computer special effects, Yi Feiyang still needs to use external special effects companies, after all, there is a specialization, and it is impossible for a special effects team to make all the special effects perfect, not to mention that Yi Feiyang is still a very picky person who pursues perfection.

Yi Feiyang is not worried about special effects, but in terms of actors' performances, Yi Feiyang is heartbroken.

As mentioned earlier, in order to reflect the enthusiasm and masculinity of this play, almost all the actors selected are sturdy macho men, but due to the short time and the role training is not perfect, many people are still a little jerky in terms of "acting", especially in front of the blue screen, simulating war scenes, it is even more difficult to act.

For example, an arrow kills a Persian soldier on a warship. In front of the blue screen, the actor who plays the Persian soldier, facing the camera and the empty surroundings, must imagine the tragic war scene in front of him, the smoke of gunpowder, the fire of the warship, the screams of his companions, the fight to the death, and then an arrow shoots and hits him in the face...... God, you have to know that these things do not exist in front of the blue screen, and they all have to be imagined and simulated by actors, to put it bluntly, it is more difficult than acting in a drama!

In other words, the blue screen performance is actually very good at testing the acting skills of school actors!

Before, Yi Feiyang whimsically thought that the selected actors would be able to do a good job of virtual or simulated performances in front of the blue screen, but now he knows that he was wrong, and he was very wrong! If only one or two performances are too bad, it's fine, but the problem is that almost most of the actors can't get into the play, and they can't act in the air at all!

At that moment, in the face of some performances of "fighting to the death on a warship", in fact, the dragon tricks with different postures and crookedness, Yi Feiyang even had the intention of pinching people's necks.

Kao, is this acting?

It's a party!

“CUT！ Stop, give me a stop! ”

A dragon actor didn't listen to the command, and was still playing "death" with his teeth and claws, Yi Feiyang went up directly and kicked out of his ass!

However, under the power of Yi Feiyang's big feet, the unlucky guy flew directly out of the canopy and wailed and practiced.

Everyone was stunned by Yi Feiyang's violent behavior, they only knew that Lu Dao had money to take for acting, not including kicking his ass!

In the United States, democracy is very important, and if you don't say that you hit someone casually, even if you touch the other party, you will be taken to court.

But now......

Everyone was dumbfounded.

"You, you, you, you dare to hit someone!" The companion who was kicked couldn't help but jump out and accuse.

Yi Fei raised his eyebrows, "I don't want to act, get out!" What are you chirping?! ”

"Huh? I'm going to sue you! ”

"Sue you!" Yi Feiyang raised his foot and kicked the other party directly down.

Everyone was not stunned, but gasped.

Is this the crew, or is it a black ~ society?!

Looking back, Yi Feiyang didn't care about the life or death of the two unlucky guys, and said to everyone: "Do you know how to act?" If not, leave early, I don't accept waste here! ”

"Look what you guys looked like? I want you to play your role well, but what are you doing? Playing at home and partying? Play as a zombie, a vampire, or a witcher?! is dancing with teeth and claws, and he doesn't even have any acting skills! ”

"You always complain that others don't give you a chance, saying how great you are, but what about yourself, are you angry? Did you try hard? With your attitude, you can only do tricks for the rest of your life! Yes, it's a trick! ”

Yi Feiyang's words directly aroused everyone's anger, "No, we are not like this, we all have ideals and dreams!" ”

"Yes, then show me your ideals and dreams! Mel Gibson, excuse me, you're an old actor, just tell them how to play this play, and see how capable these guys who clamore for ideals and dreams are! ”

After Yi Feiyang put down this sentence, he went to rest.

The rest of the actors looked at each other one by one.

Mel Gibson had already understood Yi Feiyang's intentions, shrugged his shoulders and said to the gang of tricks: "Okay, man, who wants to learn acting skills from me?!" ”

Crash! All raised their hands. (To be continued......)
