Best Movie Star

After two weeks of filming indoor scenes at Warner Studios, the crew turned to the streets of Los Angeles to start shooting on-location scenes. The studio and outdoor studios had to be adjusted accordingly. Director Peter Berger The plan is to get all the exterior scenes done by September, then finish all shooting in October, and move on to post-production in mid-October.

The schedule set by Warner Bros. for "Superman Hancock" is the Independence Day holiday next summer. In this way, the post-production time is relatively a little more generous.

This film will use a lot of CGI generation technology. As the name suggests, Hancock is a superman. Many action scenes are simply not possible for ordinary people to complete, and they all need to be shot in front of a green screen.

From Warner Studios to the streets of Los Angeles, the first stop of the crew came to Century City.

On an ordinary weekday morning, just after the sun came up, the shopping mall in Century City near the Death Star Building started to get busy. Dozens of police cars from the Beverly City Police Department roared and brought the cast in front of the Century City Mall temporarily. A leased store is tightly surrounded.

The crew reached an agreement early in the morning with the Beverly City Police Department, who were also happy to assist with filming.

Like the Pentagon, many government departments, such as the police, the CIA, and the FBI, have Hollywood Liaison Offices that deal with Hollywood.

Not only ordinary police cars and police, but an explosion-proof car and a SAT team also came to the shooting scene.

Director Peter Berger is very busy. For him, directing such a big scene has never happened before.

Fortunately, he did not direct directly, but participated in the field. Before directing the film alone, he served as the assistant director for Michael Mann, and once assisted Michael Mann in filming films such as "The Wire" and "Murder with a Knife", especially "Murder". He was also one of the coordinators at the scene of the police and gangster shootout full of classical realism in "The Line of Thieves".

He still has some experience in how to deal with such a scene.

And his teacher Michael Mann also came here, but Michael Mann didn't speak easily, just stood and watched.

Inside a huge trailer, Matthew finished his make-up, took over the costume and put it on. Initially, the crew designed a tight-fitting costume similar to a comic superhero. It needed to be lubricated to put it on. He rejected it without thinking. Yes, after consulting with Akiva Goldsman and Peter Berger, I changed to black body armor similar to the police Kevlar body armor.

This outfit is easy to wear and doesn't compromise flexibility when shooting action shots.

He has seen Scarlett Johansson wearing prop tights. Those superhero tights are completely different from athletes' tights. The first consideration of athletes' tights is always the practicality of sports and actions, and the so-called The first element of a superhero bodysuit is all about the visual effect on the body.

Thick, tight, airtight, and padded **** and buttocks are the norm in order to have a great visual effect in the shot.

Putting on a costume that looks like a Kevlar body armor is actually very light, Matthew also tried it with his hands and feet, making sure that it would not affect the movement, and then walked out of the makeup trailer.

He stood at the door of the trailer and looked towards the side door of the Century City Shopping Center. The set up was basically completed. Dozens of police cars surrounded a bank with a glass curtain wall, and one police car was at the forefront, surrounded by Plexiglas. A fragment of props, a blond actress is standing in the back of the car, talking to the assistant director of the crew.

Matthew looked at it, then entered the set, and saw the director Peter Berger. Next to Peter Berger stood an old white man with gray hair. The old man wore eyes, was gentle, and seemed very model.

Peter Berger was still directing the crew, and Matthew walked up to the old man, who was very famous in Hollywood. Although he hadn't seen him before, he knew him.

"Hello, Mr. Michael Mann." He reached out to greet him.

Michael Mann also saw Matthew, shook his hand, and said with a smile, "Hello, Matthew. Just call me Michael."

Matthew said politely, "I didn't expect to see you here."

"I'm friends with Peter." Michael Mann didn't mention that Peter Berger was his assistant, he pointed to the Death Star tower standing next to him, "I'm going to CAA today and I happened to pass by this way. ,come and see."

Matthew has long heard from Akiva Goldsman that Peter Berger had been Michael Mann’s assistant before he became independent. It is estimated that Michael Mann came to see his students.

The two got together to chat for a few words, the topic was also around the movie, and naturally they talked about the scene that they are going to shoot now.

"Looking here..." Matthew said with emotion, "I think of the "Pirates of Fire" you filmed. That shootout scene has become a classic."

Michael Mann smiled and said, "It's a pity that the overall response to the movie was not very good."

Matthew said, "There is such a scene, "The Wire" is an eternal classic."

Among the top ten classic scenes in the 1990s that are rated by many media, the shootout scene of "The Robbery" is often among them. Because the rhythm of the whole film is so slow that he has never watched it, but the bank robbery The police and bandit gunfight scenes, but they have been watched many times.

Several robbers used the automatic firepower in their hands to suppress dozens of police officers and couldn't lift their heads. In the end, Robert De Niro and Fang Zimmer, with their strong vitality, killed them from the police's blockade.

Compared with the film itself, this scene has been widely disseminated, and has even become a teaching material for many film academies, and its influence surpasses that of the film.

In a robbery in North Hollywood in 1997, two robbers armed with automatic rifles left more than 100 police officers at a loss. Afterwards, the police searched their homes and saw the film "The Wire" on the video recorder.

The robbers are said to have watched the shootout repeatedly before robbing the bank.

Society is affecting Hollywood movies, and Hollywood movies are not affecting society. Many Hollywood directors, screenwriters, and scene designers are, in a sense, geniuses in criminal design.

Therefore, after the 9/11 incident, the Washington authorities once convened many Hollywood directors and screenwriters to let these practitioners in the film industry open their minds and imagine how they would carry out terrorist attacks on the United States if they were terrorists...

Although Hollywood has never admitted that criminals are imitating Hollywood movies, many of the criminal methods of Hollywood movies are imitated by criminals, but it is real.

The scene was soon all set up, director Peter Berg explained a few words to Matthew, and filming began immediately.

The first shot was some stunt shots, such as those dangling wire jumps or other dangerous actions. Matthew would not be on the set to shoot in person. All of them were done by stunt doubles. The difficult and dangerous shots were shot in Hollywood. The crew basically The main actor will not be allowed to appear in person, even if the main actor wants to appear in person, he will not allow it.

The first choice is insurance. Like Matthew's filming, the crew paid up to tens of millions of dollars for his personal safety insurance. The insurance company's representatives in the crew saw him shooting dangerous scenes and could directly fight the director.

Secondly, this is also responsible for the crew and all investors. Once the lead actor is injured, the film will inevitably be delayed, and time is also a cost.

Finally, Matthew himself also pays great attention to this point. Now he is not a penniless little actor, and a big star must have the self-consciousness of a big star.

This is not irresponsibility, but a manifestation of responsibility and professionalism.

Whether it is the audience, the media, or the crew, no one will make irresponsible remarks, because this is the normal situation.

When shooting stunt shots, there was also a little accident. One of Matthew's stunt doubles completed the shot of Hancock falling from the sky. When he jumped off a high car control platform, he jumped a little bit, and he slapped his foot. His ankles were swollen, and the crew immediately sent a special car to take him to a nearby hospital.

However, the filming did not stop~www.readwn.com~ The crew continued to operate. Matthew had more than one stunt double. Naturally, the injured one would be dealt with by a special person. Usually, there would be enough money to compensate. .

Although Matthew maintains fitness and free fighting training all year round, he will not overestimate himself. It is like a similar scene. Even if he is a person with high athletic talent, no one can guarantee that he will not be injured.

As someone who has money, a family, a business, and a lot of life to enjoy, he won't take fearless risks.

Five or six years ago, if the crew needed him, he might play in person, but people's mentality and thinking are changing with the environment and their own conditions. Now he is still very hardworking and dedicated, and ensuring personal safety is the premise. condition.

Matthew was on the sidelines most of the time, and most of the time, after the stuntman finished the stunt action, he went on the set to shoot the next frontal shots, and post-production edited them together without any problems.

Most of the difficult action scenes are actually shot in this way. As long as you pay attention to Hollywood action movies, it is not difficult to find that in almost all action scenes, the frontal shots of the leading actors are limited, and they are often interspersed in the action scenes. When shooting, it is basically shot twice. The stuntman shoots the action scenes, the starring is responsible for the frontal shots, and then they are cut into one piece.

He went to the "Iron Man" crew some time ago and watched an action scene of Black Widow filmed by Scarlett Johansson. Scarlett Johansson's stunt double was a man with a similar height to her!

I wonder how the audience would feel when they saw the **** Black Widow make all kinds of tempting fighting moves, and learned that most of them were filmed by a man stuffed with various pads under a tight uniform.
