Chapter 68: Special Action Scene Design

As time went on, more cast and crew members joined in the preparations, and Martin was practicing vampire zombie attacks in addition to rehearsing the dance.

Not the slow-dead zombies of the Resident Evil and Living Dead series, of course, but closer to the presence of vampires.

The mastery of the script is the life-and-death battle between the hero and heroine. The heroine was also going to join the training, and Martin's old acquaintance, Ma Zhenxi's opponent Catherine, got the role.

Catherine has absolutely nothing to say about her physical appearance alone, which is also the key to her stripping out of the crowd of candidates.

Benjamin personally sent her to the set and explained to Martin: "She has never filmed this kind of action scene, you take care of it a little more." Martin understood: "Catherine and I are old friends. In front of many people in the crew, Catherine held Benjamin's arm tightly: "Martin and I have a tacit understanding. "The heroine has a lot of relationship with the director, maybe it's already negative.

It shows the relationship when it comes up, and it is a responsible approach in the film and television crew. The prop master came over at this time and asked the hero and heroine to try the props.

Martin entered the warehouse next to the makeshift studio, and at a glance he saw Wolverine-like claws, which were just the right size when he put them on.

"In all the action scenes, you wear only a pair of skinny shorts, fight with your claws and teeth, deal with female prey, and bite your chest and neck," said Morris, the action director. In addition to the actor, Martin also works part-time as a production manager, and has the right to speak: "Isn't it good to be naked from the beginning?" Add some undressing scenes to the action scenes? Like my character, take it off and pull off your shirt and pants. He worked as a martial artist in his previous life, and put on a cool pose: "The clothes of the female character, I take them off with my claws, and at the end, there are clothes on both sides that can maintain the R level." Director Benjamin came in and said, "Martin, you've captured the essence of a B-movie!" Martin won't steal the director's job: "It's just a little idea, Ben, it's up to you whether it's suitable or not." ”

"You're a production manager, just say what you want." Benjamin is well aware that his weight in this crew is about the same as Martin's: "Where is the most attractive thing about B-movies entering the theater? Vulgar jokes, spilled plasma, and explosive hormones, as long as these three points are done well, the film will definitely sell. Catherine was very self-conscious: "I have to show up and down? ”

"No, dear." Benjamin said simply: "We are making R-rated films, not 17 bans. Morris is Benjamin's man, and seeing that he was slightly weak in the face of Martin, he adjusted his position and mentality: "What I'm good at is directing male and female action scenes, such as the scene where you lie on the ground, which I designed." Martin's crew has a higher position than Morris, but he is very skillful in getting along with people: "Man, I finally found the culprit, do you know what my friends around me say about me?" They all said I was the saddest corpse ever, and I was watched by others. Morris couldn't help but laugh: "I'm honored! ”

"Tell me what you think, Martin." In the end, whether to use it or not, it is Benjamin who has the final say. Martin does have some thoughts: "The action scene where the male protagonist Matthew kills the heroine's sister Maria, will it be too monotonous to simply suck the blood?" Let's make this scene a little more gorgeous? This is also for his own sake, after all, it is the hero's play: "Death is still on the stage, dying in the sexy dance of the male protagonist, I think so, an iron chain hangs down from the stage, the male protagonist pulls the chain, and dances wildly with Maria, in the crazy machine gun dance, the male protagonist sucks Maria's blood dry." Benjamin imagined it a little, and immediately there was a corresponding picture in his head, and the dance reached its climax, with the male protagonist pulling Maria to spin and fly over the entire ballroom, blowing a machine-gun concerto frantically...... In Martin's eyes, what's the point of B-grade movies not exaggerating?

Benjamin came back to his senses and said to his assistant: "Inform the producer Dave to call the heads of various departments such as casting, styling, dance, props and photography to come to the meeting, immediately!" Right away! The assistant director hurried to the side to make a phone call.

Benjamin couldn't help but say, "Martin, I'm absolutely not wrong about you!" You're a genius! He sincerely admired: "I can only design Ma Zhen, you even want to fly in the air!" Martin told the truth: "From the videotape. Benjamin thought he was modest and said, "This scene must be violent!" I've got you covered with an equal opponent, do you know who? Martin said seriously: "Julia Roberts, of course, the biggest star in Joshua." Benjamin looked constipated.

Martin added: "Could it be Holly Hunt? Although I'm older, I'm an Oscar-winning actress after all, and I can accept it. ”

"I can't afford to pay them if I sell my ass." Benjamin almost spurted blood, and suddenly looked at Martin and smiled: "That old classmate of mine helped and invited the Empress of the Sacred Valley, Jenna Jameson!" Martin asked, "You're not kidding?" Benjamin said: "Jenner heard that she can appear in a theatrical movie for only $5,000. "It's a vulgar B-grade film, the grade is already under the floor, and it won't be even lower if you find the Queen of the Holy Valley, and there are gimmicks.

It didn't take long for all the heads of departments, including producer Dave, to rush over. Benjamin had the final say on the filming, and he chaired the meeting.

Martin drew the scene he had just said on the whiteboard. Director of Photography Jackson added: "The scene is shocking enough when the audience is full and everyone is in the spotlight." Casting director Andrew answered: "I consulted with the club, they made announcements, and a lot of regular customers volunteered to be audience backgrounds for free. "There are some things he didn't say, the House of the Beast will charge for admission when the time comes.

Benjamin was in a good mood and had something to gain: "In terms of set design and action scenes, anyone with ideas can come up with them. Action director Morris was inspired by Martin, and suddenly his inspiration exploded: "In the end, the battle between the hero and heroine, I think it can be divided into two parts, the male protagonist is very powerful, a mortal huntress wants to defeat him, it is almost impossible, you see that this will work, the strongest place for the male protagonist is also his weakest place, the heroine gets his strength, and his strength is greatly reduced......" Producer Dave understood what he meant, and said an important point: "When the film enters the theater screening, it must obtain R certification, but we have no distribution ability." The first thing to do is that the content can attract movie buyers, and how mpAA rates the film is a matter after they buy it. Martin racked his brains to recall and think: "The first part is a negative distance battle between the male and female protagonists, the heroine gets the male protagonist, and the male protagonist falls into a certain period of weakness, and then is taken advantage of by the heroine to kill him?" Morris nodded, "That's what I meant." Martin said, "Do you want to give Sister Maria and Anna a special gift?" For example, they can absorb through that aspect, but there is a flaw, if she reaches the peak first, she will be drained by her opponent. Benjamin pondered, "It's kind of interesting." He said: "The scene of the volley flying in front has also changed, Maria was not sucked to death by Matthew, she has the same talent as the heroine, she lost to Matthew in the big battle and was sucked dry by Matthew's weapon!" The meeting lasted until the evening, and when Benjamin returned, he and his assistants worked on new sets for several scenes overnight.
