Chapter 292 Shooting
The first season of "The Walking Dead" has come to an end, and the plot that follows is relatively tight.

According to director Lynch's idea, a whole episode will be shot today, so the entire crew is very busy.

The filming work of other supporting actors was handed over to two assistant directors to help. Suri read the script. It was basically scenes of searching for supplies and hunting zombies, which were secondary lines.

Director Lynch, on the other hand, was personally responsible for the main content, filming the story of Daddario and Ashton's first encounter with the special operations team. They originally thought that the order had completely collapsed, but unexpectedly discovered that there were mysterious forces.

During this period.

Thalia, who plays the minor villain, will also make her first appearance. As for the big boss, she will be played by Suri, who does not need to wear makeup for the time being.

Seeing that Suri hadn't left, Daddario was a little curious and asked him:
"Are you accompanying me? It's rare to see you stay on the set. We will go filming later, and you may be bored."

Suri shook his head and said with a smile:
"I have nothing else to do today. I want to see how the new script will turn out after it is filmed. Now there is still a chance to make changes to avoid ruining the entire series."

Some relatively sensitive plots, such as the abuse of the Lord, the Madonna, etc., were all avoided under Suri's control.

However, due to the changed plot and the addition of a new organization, Suri is not yet sure whether the audience will buy it.

Therefore, I plan to go to the scene first to see how the results are. If I feel there is a problem, I can make corrections on the spot, or stop it in time to avoid reshooting later, which will waste time.

There are many benefits to adding a new mainline.

For example, it can whet the audience's appetite, increase the sense of anticipation for watching the drama, facilitate the screenwriters' creation, and at the same time prevent the plot from becoming like a running account.

If each season is a brand new story, it will easily lead to the loss of viewers and affect future performance.

This is like many series of movies. After watching the first one, people may not necessarily continue to watch the second one. However, "Harry Potter", "Lord of the Rings", "Resident Evil", etc. have laid a lot of foreshadowings. Let movie fans buy tickets again and again.

The disadvantage of temporarily adding a main plot is that it destroys the existing sense of reality of "The Walking Dead" and easily makes the story fall into a cliche.

As one of the main series that Suri is most optimistic about, he is more concerned about whether this change can be successful, and is considering learning from the successful experience of "Resident Evil" to come up with a complete story outline.

Lest it be like the previous version of "The Walking Dead", which makes people confused every time it is filmed, and the plot becomes more and more boring and becomes a continuation of the story...

It was past nine o'clock in the morning.

Suri followed the director's filming team to an abandoned old building.

The building didn't need special decoration. It was already very messy, with broken glass and various graffiti spray-painted on the walls.

The prop masters came in early to complete the inspection. At this moment, they came over and scratched their heads and reported:

"There is a poisonous insect who is resting in the building and wants $100 from us. He said this is his territory, otherwise he will not let us in."

It's very Los Angeles.

Beverly Hills and other places in the city center are more lively at night. In many other neighborhoods, demons dance around at night, and pedestrians are easily in danger.

It is estimated that there is a homeless poisonous insect who regards the abandoned building as his own home. He is resting there in broad daylight. When he encounters a rare opportunity, he wants to take the opportunity to extort some money and use it to continue buying medicine.

Too lazy to argue with this guy, Suri made a final decision and told him, "Give him the money. It's almost noon, so as not to delay the filming progress."

Director Lynch also nodded and said: "It's okay to pay, but we have to make him promise not to come and disturb us again. We can finish filming this episode before noon."

There are hundreds of people in the entire crew, and it's not worth wasting time for such a small amount of money.

During filming, we often need to borrow locations, and we have always resorted to spending money to get out of trouble. It is normal for us to be ripped off.

The assistant director borrowed a used car recycling plant for filming, and the rent for a day cost 2000 US dollars. Compared with the rent of renting a scrapped car plant, this poisonous insect is considered kind and easy to spend.

After the zombie extras were ready, the entire team quickly got into work mode and began filming the scene where the protagonist and his group were chased by zombies and were forced to hide in an abandoned old building.

Daddario was born in a middle-class family and likes to be elegant and clean.

Since joining the cast of "The Walking Dead," she has already adapted to dealing with a dirty and chaotic environment.

When she was taking a close-up shot and inserting a knife into the prop, blood spurted all over her face. She wiped it with a piece of scrap newspaper and threw it aside, looking extra calm.

The TV series looks very coherent, but in fact it is composed of many shots. It is a bit funny to watch other people filming on the spot.

Some shots require several takes to get through, which is similar to squeezing out toothpaste.

The actors say something, I say something, piece it together, and turn the script into the content of the screen bit by bit.

Early ten o'clock in the morning.

Suri was standing under the awning, with the screen in front of him showing the scene he had just taken. He was drinking coffee and scrolling through his phone without having to worry about it himself.

The props team was busy making a fire to roast corn, while Daddario and the others continued to review the lines.

Director David Lynch knew that Talia and Suri knew each other, so of course he took great care of her. During the temporary break, he smiled kindly and said to Talia:

"You need to find your status first. Later, ask your assistant to take you to another place and take a picture of you observing them secretly."

Suri has read the script.

The main content of this episode is that the special operations team tried to rob someone, and then the protagonist accidentally found the sewage manhole cover in the basement and successfully escaped from the sewer.

Talia only showed up, and finally called her superiors to report that she hadn't caught the person she wanted, and she only had four or five lines in total.

She was not afraid of waves four to five meters high, but Talia was very nervous at this moment. She took a deep breath and replied: "Okay, maybe I need to take a few more shots. I'm worried that I will mess up."

Director Lynch said to her in a very indifferent tone:
"It doesn't matter, I remember my first time directing, it was a disaster, no one is born a good actor, you just have to forget about the camera."

Suri was able to help Thalia with her role, but was unable to help in this matter, only adding:
"It's similar to driving on the road. Newbies find it very complicated, but once you actually get on the road, you'll find that it doesn't seem to be a big deal. Don't scare yourself."

Putting on a stiff smile, Talia took a deep breath again and replied: "I will practice a few more times, but I always subconsciously want to look at the camera. It is difficult to really get into the role."

Director Lynch thought for a while and asked her:
"Do you blush after drinking? If it doesn't work, just drink some wine. I have a friend who is usually very timid. After drinking, he even dares to beat up the police officers on patrol. He only has a few lines. It's really very simple... …”
