Screenwriter Mystery

Chapter 223: Filming

Today's Zhao Yuan is no longer an unknown person in Hollywood.

After all, no matter whether it is "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" as a screenwriter or "Blair Witch" and "Smart: Ghost Recording" two films as director.

The huge success at the box office can be said to be rare even in the whole of Hollywood.

It is rude to say that there is no major Hollywood film production company that does not expect to cooperate with Zhao Yuan.

After all, although big directors like James Cameron are also making great achievements in commercial films, the cost of making films is also huge.

Just like Zhao Yuan, starting from "Texas Chainsaw Massacre", the production cost of each film has not exceeded 10 million.

Even if there is a slogan of 15 million in the promotion of "Heroes Out of Control", compared with the box office revenue of "Blair Witch" and "Smart: Ghost Story", let alone 15 million, it is 20 million , at a cost of 30 million, there will also be film production companies waving dollars to seek cooperation.

Hollywood, in the final analysis, is a circle where interests come first.

As long as they can make money, no matter how bad the director is, there will always be endless movie invitations.

...

"The third scene of the forty-second scene of "Heroes Out of Control", a!"

Although the new movie "Heroes Out of Control" is also a "pseudo-documentary" movie, it is still somewhat different from the previous movies directed by Zhao Yuan.

This can be seen from the shooting angle of the dv camera.

Although the shooting angle of the DV camera of "Blair Witch" and "Smart: Ghost Recording" is shaking, it is moved by the actor's arm as a bracket, so it does not need to spend too much thought on the shooting angle of the movie, try to fit Reality and even random camera shakes don't hurt.

This is also the reason why Zhao Yuan dared to act as a film director before.

Because this kind of "pseudo-documentary" type of film itself is the film shooting that least tests the director's skill.

However, such a shooting method is obviously not feasible in "Heroes Out of Control".

In the early stage of the plot, before the protagonists and others have obtained superpowers, this rough shooting method may still be able to cope with the past, but after the plot becomes superheroes with the protagonists of the movie, the shooting angle requirements for dv cameras have become. This is one of the difficult problems that Zhao Yuan needs to think about.

The description of this section of shooting is simply pointed out in the script: the protagonist Dane uses his superpower to control the dv camera to hover in the air to shoot a picture of several people using superpowers.

However, in the specific shooting, Zhao Yuan, the director, needs to seriously think about the moving angle of the dv camera, how to let the audience see the dv camera suspended in mid-air without being abrupt.

In order to be able to show this scene in the movie, Zhao Yuan took great pains.

If he hadn't had the movie "Out of Control" as a reference, and compared the plot to the gourd-style shooting, perhaps the filming progress of the movie "Out of Control" would have been delayed again and again, but even if there were already For reference, the filming time of "Heroes Out of Control" has exceeded nearly a month, and it has become the film with the longest filming cycle in Zhao Yuan's hands.

Of course, if Zhao Yuan's inner thoughts at the moment were known to those big Hollywood directors, he would definitely turn his eyes away.

It is the most normal thing to shoot a movie for a month. Usually, a movie may not even reach a third of the script for a month, and the scene of a big scene will be gone for half a month.

And in Zhao Yuan's place, this month "Heroes Out of Control" is nearing the end.

With such a filming speed, it is no wonder that Wen Ziren feels pressure.

However, it is the film that was shot at such a speed, and each film's performance at the box office was terrifyingly high.

...

At the scene, with the order of Zhao Yuan.

"Calm down, Michael, we are friends, have you forgotten our experience as superheroes!"

Several of the lead actors in "Heroes Out of Control" went into a state where they hung on the green screen set and read out the lines from the script.

In reality, the battle between the three of 'Andrew' takes place in a downtown New York neighborhood.

Of course, it is impossible to shoot the film anywhere, especially since the damaged block has not been completely repaired, and there are still traces of the destruction of the battle, which does not match the scene at the beginning of the film.

Therefore, regarding this part of the shot, it can only be completed through the special effects in the later stage.

What's more, if you really want to apply for a shooting permit in downtown New York, both the funding and the preliminary application will take time and money, which is far less easy than using special effects.

"Michael, we can leave now, fly out of here..."

With Weiya hanging from his body, he simulates the feeling of being suspended in mid-air. Although the protagonists under the green screen are actually only less than half a meter above the ground, they still try to show the feeling of floating, and they are not close to them. The huge fan in the distance simulates the feeling of a strong wind blowing.

"Superhero, now I'm a supervillain, top predator!"

Facing the lines spoken by the protagonist Dane, the actor who played the movie villain Michael opposite him grinned and showed an evil smile. His bloated face was covered with special effects makeup to cover up his original appearance, and his appearance was roughly the same as the previous TV station. 'Steve' as seen by the camera lens.

This approach is naturally to allow the audience of the movie to better bring the movie into the previous battle in New York.

The only difference ~www.readwn.com~ is the skin tone of Michael's actor. In reality, 'Steve' is a complete black, but in "Heroes Out of Control" he is a white.

This is in line with how Hollywood's political correctness has changed.

Nowadays, the topic of racial discrimination is becoming more and more intense. Although it is not impossible to invite black people as villains, it is inevitable that some black people with glass heart will protest. It's a worthless thing.

So instead of keeping a black villain, cause unnecessary trouble and controversy.

Especially in the movie "Heroes Out of Control", it is clear that it is a gimmick of superheroes out of control and destruction.

It's easy to be excused to protest why it's black people, not white people, who are out of control.

Instead of this, it is better to invite black actors to play this role from the beginning. Anyway, after adding special effects and DV shots in the later stage, there is not much difference.
