One Hundred and Thirty Two - The Death of the Evil Father and Son

The filming is still going on. In the shot, Nicolas Cage is standing in a car performing, and the crazy crowd around him is cheering for him. It has reached the end of the film.

"Cut! After this, rest for ten minutes, and then reshoot the scattered shots." After seeing the effect with an expressionless face, Wayne directly called Zack Snyder over. "You will be responsible for shooting the scattered shots. Be sure to pay attention to the safety of the staff!"

Although some felt that the director was too cautious, Zack Snyder glanced at Li Guohao who was following Wayne, nodded and agreed, and went to discuss the camera location with the photography team.

After filming the car crash scene, Li Guohao was called to the director's side, but he didn't say anything and didn't let him leave. He followed the director like this for almost a day.

This not only made him feel baffled, but also many employees were confused. They didn't know what mistake this diligent stuntman had made, and he was stared at by the ice-faced director for a whole day, and he was not even allowed to leave while eating.

Glancing at Li Guohao who was following him again, Wayne's face was expressionless. In fact, he was afraid of the car crash scene. The time-travel incident had happened, and he couldn't help but believe in some mysterious events.

What I fear most is that some things are destined and cannot be avoided. If another accident happens to this crew now, we simply should not continue filming the film and just disband the crew.

Wayne himself felt that after coming to New York, the crew seemed to be cursed. If there were casualties during filming, no one could say how serious the consequences would be.

"Lee, the scenes here will be over in a day or two at most!" After much deliberation, Wayne decided to be superstitious. Otherwise, if something went wrong, he would have changed his fate in vain, and the crew couldn't afford any more surprises. Got it!

"Your job these two days is to follow me. You don't have to go back to the stunt team. You can go wherever I go! Do you understand?"

Li Guohao was suddenly stunned for a moment before he realized that the director was talking to himself. He originally wanted to ask why, but when he looked up at the ice cube face, he gave up the idea and nodded in agreement.

"Okay, Director Greenberg!" After he said that, he knew. Now others were even more likely to speculate on the relationship between them. This was no longer a simple caretaker. Did he become a temporary follower?

This face, with no trace of Chinese ancestry at all, had been hanging around Wayne for a whole day, making him fall into a trance more than once. If he hadn't been invited to join the crew, he would have signed a contract with the movie called "The Crow".

In April 1993, that is, next year, not long after the filming of the movie started, at 12:30 in the evening, when Li Guohao was filming the scene where he was shot in "The Crow", he did not expect that a real bullet was fired from the gun, and Li Guohao was accurately hit. , died due to ineffective treatment.

After he was shot and killed on the set of "The Crow," federal police investigated his co-star Michael Macey. After a rigorous investigation, he found no criminal motive. There are different opinions on this matter in later generations, and there is basically no conclusion.

The key is that the death of these two father and son is so evil that no one can give an accurate answer so far. Don't talk about conspiracy theories. Wayne believed that this was possible, but he also believed that he should try his best to prevent such evil things from happening in front of his eyes.

Not long after Li Guohao's death, the crew of "The Crow" continued filming. Most of the remaining scenes were shot by the director and producers using face replacement, CG special effects, and a stunt double.

This kind of film shooting method is not difficult at all in the eyes of Hollywood insiders, but the use of too many medium and long shots creates a lot of weirdness in a film that has already lost its protagonist.

This is a typical Hollywood approach. Since a person is dead, the last bit of value must be squeezed out of him. Consuming dead people is definitely a normal means of publicity.

"Wayne?" The production manager reached out and pushed him. After watching him come out of his trance, he pointed to the studio. "Zach asked you that it's almost over and you want to disband the extras now."

Taking a deep breath, he waved his hand and said, "Call it over and let them disband!"

There was a "boom" on the busy set, and people began to leave in droves from both sides of the street. This is the disadvantage of not being in Los Angeles. The problem of extras has never been solved, and there are too many amateurs among these people.

Nicolas Cage was wearing a red costume and white clown makeup on his face. He ignored the two makeup artists following him and walked directly to Wayne.

"oh my g..."

"Wayne, when are we going back to Los Angeles? Here there is nothing but work. Damn it, even when I go to the bar, the paparazzi are following me. I am going crazy from their torture!"

In fact, the situation has improved a lot in the past two days. The paparazzi who were speculating around the hotel entrance have almost left after the news subsided.

There were only two or three scattered big cats and kittens left, and they went underground and began to follow and take photos. Not only did they follow and take secret photos, but they also provoked the crew after being discovered, hoping that more conflicts would break out.

"One day, just one day, Nikolai!" Not only was the actor tired of it, but Wayne himself had always felt bad about it. "There will be some scattered shots for editing tomorrow. If I go fast, I can probably finish them in half a day."

He flipped through his shooting plan book, and most of it had been ticked. Regardless of the various problems that arose this time, the shooting progress was definitely fast.

From the current point of view, the progress of filming has exceeded the earliest plan by more than a week. This is definitely beyond the imagination of those who used small means.

"Well, I can finally finish this damn prison-style shooting. When I return to Los Angeles, I must..." Nicolas Cage heard him give the exact time and instantly became very excited, before he could continue to publish. With emotion, she was pushed into the makeup trailer by her agent Susan.

"Susan, take care of your client. I don't want him to have any more problems before the film is released!"

After pushing Nicolas Cage into the trailer to remove his makeup, Susan came back and saw the director's livid face. It gave her a headache to deal with a client who spoke indiscriminately when he got excited.

He had no choice but to show his accustomed smile and make a promise. "Director Greenberg, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of him and I will never let him cause trouble to the crew again!"

He nodded to show that he understood, and when everyone had got into the car, Wayne walked around again and returned to the car.

If nothing else happens, the crew will leave here after tomorrow. No matter how much criticism Wayne received during this trip to New York, it will lessen as the crew leaves.

In just over a month, Wayne, the genius director described by the media, has turned into a drug addict with a dark psychology, an alternative director who cannot make movies without taking contraband.

In the past, there was always very little public opinion attacking him, and everywhere was filled with praise for him. Not to mention that Wayne never took those compliments to heart before, and even these criticisms now can't break through his psychological defense.

Even if the gossip tabloids continue to hype up his corrupt private life, his dark heart, and his addiction to contraband, Wayne's mental quality is strong enough. People's words are indeed formidable, but they may not hurt him with their words.

He has only one goal now, to produce the film as quickly as possible while maintaining quality and quantity. Actions are always more powerful than using words to defend.

Early the next morning, the crew once again came to this street in the cool morning fog. Everyone knew that they had to leave this damn place, and they were full of motivation for work.

These short shots of a few seconds or even one or two seconds are very messy and cumbersome. Fortunately, the enthusiastic Zack Snyder is here. Under Wayne's silent observation, he has been untiing threads since the morning, one by one without getting tired of it. The shooting started.

This kind of shooting method can easily cause irritability to actors and staff, and it especially has a great impact on the actors. Basically, after finally entering the state, the scene will be changed within a few seconds of shooting.

"Do it again! Corey, your performance is like a pile of shit. Are you an amateur actor?" Zack Snyder walked around angrily. At this moment, his emotions almost went to his head, and he had already turned around behind him. The director forgot.

The irritability accumulated throughout the morning has seriously affected everyone, and Zach's outburst made everyone even more upset.

"Cory, Hill, this is just one shot. After we shoot it, let's leave this damn place and put away your shitty performance. Your performance is worse than that damn pistol. If I were you, I would Will pick up that damn..."

"Hey, hey! Zack!!" Wayne has been sitting behind the monitor, originally not wanting to interfere with these issues, but Zack Snyder, the future powder keg on the set, has obviously formed a style since his debut. fry.

"Calm down and give them some time." He patted the assistant director on the shoulder, turned to the people around him and said, "Have a rest and continue after lunch. We are not in a hurry."

To appease the already ignited Zack Snyder, Wayne simply announced a break. He understands everyone's eagerness, but it would be too immature for the director to take the lead in igniting this emotion.

Every director has his own style. For example, Wayne never reveals his emotions easily on the set. His face is always expressionless, but the staff will feel particularly relieved when they see his face, because they know that the boss All the while staying calm and sober.

Zack Snyder may have a different style in the future. After all, powder keg directors are a common phenomenon. Even James Cameron is a tyrant on the set. But now that Zack is angry, he obviously cannot suppress them and can only take the lead. Cause mood swings.
