Chapter 296: Universal Pictures Outfield Shooting Begins

In the early morning, a street in Los Angeles was already crowded with people.

The outdoor filming of the movie attracts people's curiosity no matter where it is.

For passers-by, on the one hand, they can see celebrities, and on the other hand, they may be addicted to group performances.

What's more, this filming is based on the theme of racing like "Fast and Furious".

From the surrounding police cordons, as well as several sports cars carried by trucks and the filming facilities, it can be seen that this time the actual location shooting content was carried out.

It must not be simple.

At this time, in addition to passers-by and spectators, there were also many police cars on the periphery to maintain order.

In addition, there are media reporters from all directions who have already found angles and are ready to follow and take pictures.

When Sumu was filming in China before, he would also meet reporters who came to visit the studio.

Moreover, many film crews have to constantly guard against spoilers from paparazzi on film shooting.

But here it is relatively open.

Vin Diesel will even proactively grant follow-up filming rights to some larger media brands.

For example, the famous 'Universal Pictures', or the 'New York Film News' and so on.

Letting media organizations record and publicize the shooting process has long been a relatively fixed process routine.

They don't mind this, and most film and television companies and crews will find ways to get involved in some big media at this stage.

The main reason is that copyright protection is relatively in place here, so there is no need to worry about spoilers.

In the distance, heavy trucks have begun to unload.

Several expensive cameras are being debugged in the hands of the crew.

A crane of tens of meters holds the aircraft in the air, and below, there are temporary scenes, train tracks, etc.

With a scale like this, it's hard not to look forward to how thrilling and thrilling the content to be filmed will be.

At this moment, the actor's vehicle was slowly driving and stopping from a distance.

Then Vin Diesel led many actors into the venue one after another, and when they arrived at the venue, cheers suddenly sounded from around them.

Although today's fan competition is not such a big international superstar.

But it still has a large audience in the United States.

After all, he has acted in Hollywood before, so his popularity is pretty good.

Behind him, Jordana, Michelle and others also have their own fan groups. From the moment they get off the bus, they can hear someone shouting their names.

Many people have also taken out their mobile phones and posters, waiting for their signatures.

The shooting scene suddenly turned into a brief meeting, which of course ended in just a few minutes.

After all, this is a filming location, and the actors are still able to separate work from daily life.

Su Mu got off the bus at the end of the queue.

Compared with the people in front of him, his momentum in the United States can be ignored.

This is completely different from what he did in China.

Although you can still see some Chinese living here coming to visit the class, the number is really not large.

Someone held a poster of Sumu and shouted his name.

"Wow! Sumusum! Here!"

"It's really Su Mu. I didn't expect you would actually come here to film a movie. Can you take a photo with us? We really like your domestic film works!"

"Come on Sumu! Bring our Chinese culture to the United States!"

Many fans were greeting Su Mu.

Some international students even boldly asked Sumu to conduct cultural infiltration.

Xiao Juzi helped Su Mu take the backpack, and then pointed over there: "Boss, you also have fans here. Although they are not many, at least they are better than none."

"..."

Listening to Xiao Juzi's inappropriate comfort, Su Mu hit her on the head.

"Ouch." Little Orange hugged his head: "It hurts."

Su Mu smiled and said nothing, but strode over there to take a friendly photo with many fans.

Sometimes, when people are in a foreign land and see their compatriots, they will suddenly feel an inexplicable sense of intimacy.

This was an experience Sumu had never experienced before.

He felt that maybe there were really many people who had left their hometown across the ocean and were looking forward to actors from the motherland who could shine in such a strange land.

at this time,

At the other end, many foreign passers-by were looking this way.

"Look, who is the actor at the end? He has an oriental face and is quite handsome. He seems to be another leading actor, right?"

"Didn't you watch the drag racing video a few days ago? Vin Diesel found a Chinese actor, but we haven't seen many of his movies before."

"Originally, I always thought that Vin Diesel might ask his good friend Jason to come over, but I didn't expect that he would be replaced halfway through. I didn't know what kind of performance he would have."

"But to be honest, Jason is actually the best choice. In my opinion, there is still a big gap between Asian movie actors. If it weren't for the previous video of him taking Vandy racing, I might not have known about it. There is such a person."

Some local movie fans around started discussing it privately.

It’s true that Sumu has yet to make its mark in Western markets.

Even his previous science fiction films have allowed a large portion of the audience to see the progress of Chinese science fiction films.

But in fact the coverage is still a bit small.

On the one hand, it is geographically restricted, and on the other hand, Western theater chains put profits first.

They don't have so many twists and turns. They are all about box office sales. As long as the sales are not good, you, even a top international superstar, will have to take a back seat.

Finished taking photos with everyone.

Su Mu took Little Orange to speed up and followed Vin Diesel and others.

After entering the shooting venue, I gave a brief explanation.

All departments and actors of the crew got into working mode.

The actors were putting on makeup in the dressing room, and some took out their scripts and began to play together to prepare for the next shooting.

According to the arrangement,

They will probably have to shoot in this environment for a long time to come.

Because there are more scenes of off-site racing.

The plot of Fast and Furious, from the very beginning when the male protagonist appears, the first scene is a racing scene.

And the current section of road in Los Angeles is only in the first half.

Afterwards, there will be even more exciting chase scenes with police cars and speedsters.

As well as the thrilling shots of a speeding car crossing the railway track one second before it passes by, etc.

In Su Mu's impression of his previous life, all these scenes in Furious 1 were shot in real life, and there were no special effects added.

This is one of the reasons why Fast and Furious was such a shock when it first came out.

And if you want to shoot the most realistic racing scenes, the difficulty is self-evident.

It’s not that difficult if you don’t take care of the shots from all camera positions while racing.

However, it is necessary to leave space for shooting in each camera position, and at the same time, it is necessary to perform thrilling racing skills. This will be quite demanding for stunt actors.

...

not far away,
Many reporters were already shooting around with expensive cameras.

Some relatively big-name film and television newspapers have the right to directly enter the venue for interviews because of their louder appearances.

But it is obvious that many reporters present focused almost all the focus of the camera on Vin Diesel, Jordana, Michelle and others.

On the Sumu side, there are very few.In normal times, this situation would never have happened. After all, Su Mu is one of the protagonists of this movie. Even if filming and interviews are to be done, the protagonist must be the core.

Putting one of the male protagonists aside in the cold, it is obvious that in the eyes of these media reporters, an oriental face like Su Mu is not enough for them to free up a large part of the headlines for him.

This feeling of not paying attention is actually the same as what Jordana said to Su Mu before.

They don't pay attention to the Asian film and television industry, so they are really not familiar with him.

Xiao Juzi looked around and said angrily: "Huh, boss, the people here are so snobbish. We are also the leading actors, why don't we film around you?"

Su Mu smiled calmly and patted Little Orange on the head: "What's the hurry? Everything has a process. This is not your boss's place, so let's play the dungeon again."

Su Mu had already been mentally prepared for this situation.

Even if the Raptors cross the river, there will still be a process of entrenching themselves.

And he can understand these people.

An unknown Asian actor comes here. In fact, even if he is given a picture, he may not be able to get much attention and popularity.

And a truly strong person does not need encouragement from others.

If you want to make money from them, you have to rely on your strength and work hard enough.

Su Mu had already made preparations.

was thinking,

Vin Diesel guided the reporters to Sumu.

Then he generously introduced Su Mu to everyone.

"This is the other male protagonist of our movie. He is an outstanding actor invited from China, Asia. I believe our East-West collaboration this time will be very interesting."

After hearing what Vin Diesel said.

The reporters began to take simple photos and interviews with Sumu with their cameras.

Not long after, the crew is about to start filming.

The media reporters had no choice but to end, and then exited the shooting location under the guidance of the staff.

Afterwards, many reporters communicated one after another.

"Actually, Vin Diesel is also a good old man. I just don't understand what he is thinking this time. He can obviously continue to cooperate with them, and maybe he can get relatively good resources in the next two years, but he just... At this time, if he wants to make a movie by himself, the key is to find an Asian actor to play the male lead with him, which undoubtedly increases his risk."

"Judging from my years of experience, his movies may not do well at the box office."

Many reporters expressed their thoughts one after another.

Most people are still not optimistic about this strange double male protagonist combination of Vin Diesel and Sumu.

"I don't think so."

Suddenly, a reporter in a suit spoke and glanced at Su Mu.

He continued: "It's difficult for you to realize the influence of Su Mu in China. In fact, our Global Film News team in Asia has already sent back some news about him.

The prediction given by the people in the team at that time was that maybe he would gain a foothold in Haolaiwu in the near future, but I didn't expect him to come so soon.

In fact, it is quite worthy of attention, and it may become our next important work content. "

"Oh? Really fake?"

"Lawrence, don't you think we are joking?"

"Does this sumu have any special advantages? Or is it the backend of capital?"

Listen to the man's words,

Some reporters around also cast questioning glances.

When he was interviewing many actors before, he was seen taking a lot of photos of Sumu.

Lawrence fiddled with his camera, then raised it to his eyes, took a picture of Su Mu in front of him, and then continued: "Maybe we do have a leading position in movies, but many people will be blinded by this.

In fact, there are also very good filmmakers abroad, and Su Mu is one of them.

I have read many of his deeds in China, including his film works.

This is a very interesting and amazing guy who set a world record for a role and even competed in a professional fight league.

Have you ever seen such an actor?

Let's see, maybe he will bring a lot of surprises to our film industry in the future. "

"..."

"???"

There is such a person?
After hearing his words.

The reporters around him were also skeptical, and it was difficult to immediately agree with this point of view.

But the camera in my hand was not idle.

I quickly took a few more pictures towards Sumu, for fear of missing something later.

It’s Universal’s Lawrence after all.

Very famous in their circle.

Many superstar actors were interviewed by him before they took off.

Many people also joked that it would be difficult for actors who have not been photographed by Lawrence to get ahead.

...

While many reporters were chatting.

The filming of the crew has also started.

The sports car is ready, its engine roaring.

This time the scene is going to film the two male protagonists racing against each other in a racing track.

In the first drag racing, Brian, played by Su Mu, lost to Dominic, played by Vin Diesel, but after the day's drag racing, he was surrounded by the police.

Brian then led Dominic into a chase and escape scene with a police car.

These two racing scenes are actually a whole coherent plot.

The further you get to the back, the more thrilling and exciting it becomes.

The first drag racing was not particularly difficult, it was just a few cars accelerating crazily on the straight.

According to the plot in the movie, the vehicle was modified to be equipped with a nitrogen acceleration device.

So the speed will be very fast.

Ordinary people will feel a little uncomfortable when accelerating beyond 300 per hour.

Fortunately, there are no curves in the first few scenes, so the actors can drive the vehicles themselves to perform.

And you don’t need to drive too fast, the speed will be processed to a certain extent later.

Just show the pushing feeling of the driver at high speed.

Su Mu, Vin Diesel and others filmed for several hours, and the first few scenes were successfully captured.

What followed was a chase with the police car.

As for the venue, they have already rented it from the local area, and several areas have been divided into isolation lines for shooting.

The vehicle needs to run back and forth in several areas.

To achieve the effect of rapid scene switching.

Everyone was very serious and understood that this would be a difficult shoot, so they were prepared for a protracted battle.

And at this moment, a voice came.

"What? He wants to drive it himself?"

"This scene is dangerous, you know it!"

"Oh my god, no stunt double, is he crazy?"
