"Smith, is this really possible?" Adaman asked suspiciously.

He really doesn't understand, isn't it just a lens? Zhang Dongcheng actually went to war for this, and even set up more than 120 cameras. With this shooting method, the consumed film can almost make a low-cost movie.

"Of course!" Zhang Dongcheng said confidently, "Adaman, believe me, I will never let you down!"

As soon as the words fell, Zhang Dongcheng walked towards Burton who was operating a computer in the distance, and asked from a distance: "Burton, how is it?"

"OK!" Burton, with earphones on his ears, gestured three fingers to Zhang Dongcheng, made an OK gesture, and said, "Don't worry! Smith, your idea is really cool. I believe that after shooting, All the audience will be stunned by this shot! Haha..."

Burton's greatest interest and hobby is to delve into various film special effects techniques. After Zhang Dongcheng proposed the idea of ​​bullet time, Burton became crazy and completely fell into it. He has been busy these days Do this preparation. A program was also specially written to manage the shooting process of these cameras.

"That's good!" Zhang Dongcheng reminded: "This shot is too expensive. If it can be done once, it will definitely not be repeated many times!"

"It's okay!" Burton promised vowedly.

When everything was ready, Keanu Reeves, who played Neo, wore a handsome windbreaker and sunglasses on his face, and walked to the platform among countless cameras.

Members of Yuan's class quickly stepped forward, put pressure on him, and checked the safety situation. Then the blower began to rotate slowly.

It is impossible to see the effect of this shot until it is finished. Zhang Dongcheng didn't need to sit in the director's chair, he stood not far from the green background, and said loudly: "All units pay attention! Ready to start shooting!"

Following his order, all departments got ready. Keanu Reeves took a deep breath and nodded to Zhang Dongcheng.

Seeing this, Zhang Dongcheng immediately shouted: "Action!"

Keanu Reeves suddenly lay down behind him. The wind from the blower made his trench coat rattle in the strong wind. The cameras that formed a circle began to work one after another, flashing continuously.

This shot is very short, only a few seconds, Zhang Dongcheng yelled cut!

"OK! Wait a minute, everyone!"

As soon as the words fell, Zhang Dongcheng hurriedly came to Burton's side and said, "How is it? Burton, how is the effect? ​​Do you need to re-shoot?"

"Wait a minute, I'll call out the shot right away!" Burton skillfully manipulated the keyboard and mouse with both hands.

After a while, Keanu's picture appeared on the computer.

In the picture, he fell on his back. The shooting angle of the camera turned 360 degrees around him! This rotation is done in an instant. It feels very incredible. Of course, there are shots shot at a 360-degree angle, but there has never been such an amazing effect.

"What, Smith? Does it feel rough? I'll show you a wonderful scene soon!" Burton continued to operate the computer.

Soon the drab green background around Keanu was replaced by Burton on the top floor of the Colonial State Bank building.

After playing the effect again, Zhang Dongcheng's eyes lit up immediately, and he couldn't wait to say: "Continue, Burton, I want to see the complete picture!"

"Of course! I can fix it soon!" Burton wasn't bragging. In less than five minutes, Zhang Dongcheng saw the perfect bullet timing display.

In the picture, Keanu is lying on his back, and bullets with air ripples behind him fly past his body.

"Great! Burton!" Zhang Dongcheng suddenly patted Burton's shoulder excitedly.

"Oh! Damn it!" Burton groaned strangely, clutching his shoulders and kneading them, saying, "Smith, you have such a strong hand!"

Since Zhang Dongcheng's body mutated last time, it has become extremely powerful. His physical fitness has surpassed the peak of human beings. Under the excitement just now, he couldn't control his strength at all. Burton was unlucky. Because of Zhang Dongcheng's excitement, he suffered an indiscriminate disaster.

It's also thanks to Zhang Dongcheng's habitual restraint of his strength, otherwise, this slap alone would have crushed half of his body.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Zhang Dongcheng who reacted quickly apologized immediately. If Burton was injured because of his mistake at this time, Zhang Dongcheng would really be in big trouble. He pressed Burton's shoulder with concern and said: " Burton, are you all right?"

"Oh, of course!" Burton nodded, with a pained expression on his face, and said, "It's fortunate that I often practice kung fu with Mr. WooPing during this time, otherwise I would really be shot to death by you!"

Zhang Dongcheng smiled impressively. Said: "Okay, Burton, you stop the production of this section first, let's come down and shoot other bullet time shots!"

Bullet time, in The Matrix, is not just the period in which Neo dodges bullets. At the beginning of the movie, Trinity’s big roc with its wings spread also needs this shooting method; there is also the scene where Neo and Agent Smith shot at each other in the final battle; the shot of Morpheus rushing out of the building, etc. wait. But none of this is as shocking as Neo dodging bullets.

"OK!" After Burton agreed, Zhang Dongcheng left his side and continued to order the crew.

Soon, Michelle Yeoh, who played Trinity, was suspended in the air just like Keanu Reeves just now. The image of the roc spreading its wings is shown.

Michelle Yeoh herself is a female actress born in Hong Kong. Not only does her kung fu skills surpass those of these American actors, but she is also familiar with Diao Weiya.

After being hung in the air, he kept adjusting his body, posing like a roc spreading its wings from time to time, talking and laughing with other actors.

"All departments pay attention!" Following Zhang Dongcheng's order, all departments once again devoted themselves to filming.

Michelle Yeoh got into the state immediately, posing in the shape of a roc spreading its wings.

"Action!"

With Zhang Dongcheng's order, the more than one hundred high-definition cameras started shooting one after another again. The sound of flashing lights became one.

"Cut! OK, put Michelle down first and let her rest!" Zhang Dongcheng came to Burton again after ordering casually. "Burton, how about this shot?"

"Perfect!" Burton was very excited. After operating the computer for a while, Michelle Yeoh appeared on the screen soon.

The shooting angle is completely 360-degree panorama. It's amazing.

"Okay! Then this shot is over, now shoot the last one!" Zhang Dongcheng returned to the crew, directed the staff in the crew, and hoisted Keanu and Hugo Weaving up!

Because this shot requires the coordination of Keanu and Weiwen, it is inevitable that there will be a little deviation in the middle of the first shot, and the second shot has to be done. Fortunately, the second shot was completed quite smoothly.

These bullet-time shots were shot in almost one day in the studio. Because the focus of this kind of lens is on the composition in the later stage. It is not difficult to shoot.

After handing over the task of special effects production to Burton, Zhang Dongcheng led the crew to the entrance of the temporarily closed building and began filming when Neo and Trinity came to rescue Morpheus and broke out with the security guards. The scene of the shootout.

This segment is quite hot-blooded and hot, and the aesthetics of violence are perfectly presented in this segment.

Many parts of this shot also need post-processing special effects, but this does not prevent Zhang Dongcheng from shooting those shots first.

While Zhang Dongcheng was busy filming The Matrix in Sydney, Australia, something unexpected happened in Los Angeles.

"Smith Zhang's short-term film investment plan has great prospects. Countless economists believe that Smith Zhang may create a very promising investment plan!"

A few days ago, the "Wall Street Journal" reported on Zhang Dongcheng's short-term film investment fund plan.

Since the investment funds were all sold out under the operation of East West Bank, the operation mode of this short-term investment fund has attracted more and more attention from the financial investment industry and capitalists.

At the same time, in the office of Mr. Carl of Universal Pictures in Los Angeles, Mr. Carl who saw the report fell silent. It took a long time before he said: "This little friend of mine is quite ambitious, and he is actually ready to challenge the rules of the entire industry! It seems that I need to let him learn a lesson and understand what things cannot be done!"

Universal Pictures is definitely a big company, at the behest of Mr. Carl, the next day! Such a report appeared in the "Los Angeles Daily" newspaper.

"Amazing confidence. Smith Chang's film turned out to be a script that had been neglected for years"

Although not long ago, a certain media that specialized in entertainment news had reported this incident, but at that time it was quickly depressed because no one cared about it.

However, since Mr. Carl wanted Zhang Dongcheng's troubles, this kind of thing naturally couldn't help him.

Universal Pictures was in the way. This time, it wasn't just the Los Angeles Daily News. The other media that had good relations with Universal Pictures, or were directly controlled by Universal Pictures, also seemed to have made an appointment, unscrupulously. I started to bad-mouth Zhang Dongcheng's The Matrix.

"It is reported that after the script for Smith Zhang's new film was completed, he discovered that his ideas collided with the script ideas written by the Wachowski brothers many years ago!
