American fame and fortune

Chapter 69 Special Action Scene Design
As time went by, more cast and crew members joined in the preliminary preparations. While Martin was rehearsing the dance, he was also following the action guide to practice the vampire zombie attack.

Certainly not the slow-dying zombies of the Resident Evil and Living Dead series, but closer to the existence of vampires.

The mastery of the script is the life-and-death battle between the hero and heroine.

The heroine will also join the training, and Martin's old acquaintance, Ma Zhenxi's opponent Catherine won the role.

In terms of figure and appearance alone, Catherine has absolutely nothing to say, which is also the key to her undressing from all the candidates.

Benjamin personally sent her to the set, and specifically told Martin: "She has never filmed this kind of action scene, so please take care of her."

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 cooperate with each other tacitly."

The relationship between the heroine and the director is very close, maybe it is already a negative number.

It shows the relationship when you come up, but 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 temporary studio, and saw Wolverine-like claws at a glance, and the size was just right after wearing them.

Action director Morris said: "In all action scenes, you only wear a pair of tight shorts, fight with claws and teeth, deal with female prey, and bite the chest and neck."

In addition to the leading actor, Martin also works part-time as a production manager. He has the right to speak: "Isn't it good to be naked at the beginning? Add some undressing scenes to action scenes? Like my character, I take off my shirt and pants on my own initiative. .”

He was a martial substitute in his previous life, and he put on a cool pose: "I took off the female character's clothes with my paws, and at the end of the fight, there were only R-rated clothes left on both sides."

Director Benjamin followed in and said, "Martin, you captured the essence of a B-movie!"

Martin won't take the director's job: "It's just an idea, Ben, and it's up to you whether it's suitable or not."

"You are the production manager. If you have any ideas, just say it." Benjamin is very clear that his weight in this crew is similar to that of Martin: "When a B-grade movie enters the theater, what is the most attractive part? The vulgar jokes, the blood spilled , Exploding hormones, as long as these three points are done well, the film will definitely sell."

Catherine was very self-conscious: "Do I have to show up and down?"

"No, dear." Benjamin said simply: "We are shooting R-rated movies, not 17-rated movies."

Morris is one of Benjamin's people. Seeing that he was a little weak against Martin, he adjusted his position and mentality: "I am good at directing action scenes between men and women. For example, the scene where you lie on the ground was designed by me."

Martin has a higher position than Morris in the crew, but he is very skillful in getting along with people: "Dude, I finally found the culprit. Do you know what my friends say about me? They all say that I am the saddest corpse ever, Others are doing it while I watch."

Morris couldn't help laughing: "I'm honored!"

"Tell me what you think, Martin." In the end, Benjamin has the final say on whether to use it or not.

Martin did have some thoughts: "In the action scene where the hero Matthew kills the heroine's sister Maria, would it be too monotonous just to suck blood? Let's make this scene more gorgeous?"

This is also for his own sake, after all, it is the actor's play: "Death is still placed on the stage, dying in the actor's sexy dance, I think so, an iron chain hangs from the stage, and the actor grabs the chain , dancing with Maria in the air, and in a frantic machine-gun dance, the hero sucks Maria's blood dry."

Benjamin imagined a little bit, and immediately had a corresponding picture in his head. The dance reached its climax, and the male protagonist dragged Maria to spin and dance above the entire ballroom, playing the machine gun concerto crazily...

In Martin's eyes, what's the point of B-grade movies without exaggeration?
Benjamin came back to his senses and said to his assistant: "Notify the producer, Dave, to call the heads of various departments such as casting, modeling, dance, props, and photography to come to a meeting. Immediately! Immediately!"

The assistant director hurried to make a phone call.

Benjamin couldn't help but said: "Martin, I'm absolutely right about you! You are a genius!" He sincerely admired: "I can only design the horse vibration, you even figured out the flying vibration in the air!"

Martin told the truth: "It seems from the tape."

Benjamin thought he was modest, and said, "This scene will definitely be violent! I have prepared a comparable opponent for you, do you know who it is?"

Martin said solemnly: "Of course it is Julia Roberts, the biggest star in Georgia."

Benjamin looked constipated.

Martin said again: "Could it be Holly Hunter? Although he is a bit older, he is an Oscar queen after all. I can accept it."

"I can't pay their salary even if I sell my ass." Benjamin almost spurted blood, and suddenly looked at Martin with a grin: "My old classmate helped me and invited the Queen of the Sacred Valley, Jenna Jameson!"

Martin asked, "Are you kidding me?"

Benjamin said: "I heard that Jenna can star in a theater movie as a friend, and the salary is only 5000 US dollars."

It's a vulgar B-grade movie, the grade is already under the floor, and it won't become lower if you find the Queen of the Sacred Valley, and there are gimmicks.

It didn't take long before all the heads of departments including the producer Dave rushed over.

In terms of shooting, Benjamin had the final say, and he presided over the meeting.

Martin drew the scene just mentioned on the whiteboard.

Jackson, the director of photography, added one point: "This scene can only be shocking enough if the audience is full and under the eyes of everyone."

Casting director Andrew answered: "I discussed with the club and they issued an announcement that many old customers volunteered to serve as audience backgrounds for free."

There are some things he didn't say. The House of Beasts will charge for the entrance fee.

Benjamin has gained something and is in a good mood: "In terms of scene design and action scenes, anyone can come up with ideas."

Inspired by Martin, the action director Morris suddenly burst into inspiration: "I think the final battle between the male and female protagonists can be divided into two parts. The male protagonist is very powerful. It is almost impossible for a mortal female hunter to defeat him. See if this works. The strongest part of the male lead is also his weakest part, if the female lead gets rid of his strength, his strength will be greatly reduced..."

Producer Dave understood what he meant, and said an important point: "When a film is screened in theaters, it must be certified as R-rated, but we do not have the ability to distribute. The grading is something that will happen after they buy it."

Martin racked his brains to recall and think: "The first part was a negative-distance battle between the hero and heroine. The heroine got rid of the hero, and the hero was weakened for a certain period of time, and then the heroine took the opportunity to kill him?"

Morris nodded: "That's what I mean."

Martin said: "Do you want to give sisters Maria and Anna a special talent? For example, they can absorb abilities through that, but there is a flaw. If she reaches the peak first, she will be sucked dry by the opponent."

Benjamin thought about it: "It's interesting."

He said: "The previous volleying scene has also changed. Maria didn't die from being sucked blood by Matthew. She has the same talent as the heroine. She lost to Matthew in the battle and was sucked dry by Matthew's weapon!"

The meeting lasted until the evening. After Benjamin returned, he led his assistants to design new scenes for several scenes overnight.
