Hollywood Lover

Burton, Yuan Heping and the others were at a loss for words.

Zhang Dongcheng understands very well that he does not have the slightest evidence to explain to everyone how powerful the Titanic is. Without evidence, you cannot convince everyone. He could only act arbitrarily, and said with no refusal:

"You don't need to persuade me anymore. I have decided that I must speed up the shooting! Now it will be June soon. I will finish all the remaining shots before mid-July! After that, I will speed up the production of special effects and start at the same time. Contact theaters and promote the film. We will release it in mid-October at the latest, which is stuck in this year's Halloween schedule!"

"This is impossible!" Yuan Heping suddenly stood up in surprise, and said, "Boss, the rest of the shots are big scenes! It is simply impossible to complete all the shots in less than a month. !"

The rush of Hong Kong movies is well-known all over the world. The fastest record for a movie is less than one month from preparation to release. Not even for a few days.

Even Yuan Heping, who was born in the Hong Kong film circle, was so shocked, one can imagine how unrealistic Zhang Dongcheng's temporary idea was!

Regarding Yuan Heping's words, Zhang Dongcheng nodded. He agreed with Yuan Heping's opinion, but now he has no choice. With unwillingness and loss in his voice, Zhang Dongcheng said: "I know. We can delete some complicated shots, so that we can speed up the shooting."

The complex shots in his mouth meant that he was thinking about certain scenes in Inception. Before starting to shoot, Zhang Dongcheng was still interested in blending the two movies together. But after he actually started filming, he realized that things were far from as simple as he imagined.

The difficulty of merging is secondary, and now he doesn't have that time at all. Zhang Dongcheng could only choose to give up the idea of ​​fusion. But even so, the Matrix in his hands has been changed even more shockingly, and it is definitely much better than the original version.

The plot is more compact, the language behind it is more straightforward, and in terms of the excitement of the scene, it is even better than blue!

His words silenced everyone, and everyone fell into thinking, how to satisfy Zhang Dongcheng's thoughts and finish the Matrix in such a short time.

Everyone felt that Zhang Dongcheng was making a fuss. He can no longer be said to have overestimated the Titanic, and he almost hit the sky with the Titanic.

Everyone said that the broken ship was going to sink, why does this East City mean that it will destroy everything? It's unimaginable.

But Zhang Dongcheng has made up his mind, no matter how everyone persuades him, Zhang Dongcheng refuses to change his original intention. Even have to give up those wonderful complex shots. In this regard, they can only shoot according to Zhang Dongcheng's plan.

After notifying the heads of various departments of the crew, Zhang Dongcheng asked them to spread the news to the crew. In the next less than a month, everyone has to work overtime to catch up.

This temporary decision was completely beyond everyone's expectations. But because of Zhang Dongcheng's record of winning many battles, the members of the crew chose to believe him for no reason.

More than ten minutes later, the shooting of the camera officially started.

Zhang Dongcheng sat on a chair, stared at the monitor beside him, and said, "Action!"

The first thing to appear in the shot is the extra actor playing the role of the helicopter pilot. He looks out of the glass window and says loudly into the microphone in this ear: "Repeat, we are under attack!"

As soon as the camera turned, it fell directly on Neo and Trinity.

Neo grabbed the firearms of the two soldiers with both hands, and kicked them twice quickly with his legs. In the original play, this passage is directly about the victory of kung fu over firearms.

But Zhang Dongcheng and Yuan Heping managed to come up with such a dazzling, cool, and unrestrained fighting style of gun fighting, how could they stop showing off! This action scene was completely changed.

After Neo quickly kicked away the two soldiers, he grabbed the submachine gun with both hands and shook it. The two submachine guns spun in his hands like a windmill. Hold the trigger.

The muzzle of the gun was aimed at the two soldiers who were about to get up from the ground in an instant, and brilliant sparks shot out from the muzzle of the gun.

This action is simple to say, but Keanu Reeves has practiced for more than two days to achieve the immediate effect. And he can't guarantee 100% success, the success rate is even less than 50%. Fortunately, in the official shooting, he succeeded very smoothly without making any mistakes.

The effect is self-evident, fully showing the coolness to the fullest.

On the other side, Michelle Yeoh's Trinity is also a heroine, but in order to highlight Neo's gun fighting skills, Zhang Dongcheng asked Yuan Heping to design moves for her that are completely hand-to-hand combat, plus throwing knives.

Zhang Dongcheng believes that after the movie is released, Michelle Yeoh will definitely be able to open the door of Hollywood with her extremely fierce skills!

The battle scene came to an end, and the computer agent appeared again. The helicopter pilot shook his body, and then the screen paused, replaced by the computer agent who played the role of Agent Smith's companion. In this paragraph, there will be special effects in the later stage to show the process of changing faces.

In the low-angle medium shot, the computer man stepped over the steps and came to the rooftop.

At this time, the camera gave Trinity a close-up, and her dark glasses clearly reflected the cold appearance of the computer man.

Neo keenly noticed the arrival of the computer man, his expression froze, his hands shook, and two pistols appeared in his palms. Then he turned around while shooting cleanly.

For computer people, the lethality of bullets is really very limited! His body swayed back and forth, as if he easily dodged all of Neo's attacks.

This section also requires post-production special effects to complete.

Neo ran out of bullets. He shouted loudly to the side: "Trinity, help!"

At the same time, the computer man took out his gun. The gun was aimed at Neo.

"Cut!" Zhang Dongcheng immediately shouted, the following shot needs to be connected with the bullet time that was done long ago. And Neo's body also needs makeup to give the effect that the clothes are cut and bleeding by bullets. These all need the help of makeup artists and pyrotechnicians.

After checking the two blood packs on Keanu Reeves' body, the camera started shooting again.

This time there is no need to film Keanu Reeves falling on his back, dodging bullets. What immediately appeared were two wounds on his body from the bullets. And fell to the ground in another face.

Short shots of Keanu Reeves struggling to get up on the ground from an overhead angle.

Immediately afterwards, the computer man stood under the sun, pointed his gun at Neo, and said, "Only kill humans!"

The camera cut, and Michelle Yeoh, who was waiting by the side, stood beside the computer man at some point, aiming her gun directly at the guy's temple.

Feeling the icy touch on his temples, the cyborg turned his face away.

"You hide!" Trinity sneered disdainfully, and directly pulled the trigger.

The gunshot rang out, and the computer man was directly sent flying.

The shooting was paused again, and the previous helicopter pilot was replaced. His face was painted very pale, and there was a blood hole on his forehead!

The following dialogue scenes were completed very smoothly. Trinity played by Michelle Yeoh pretended to have learned how to fly a helicopter, opened her eyes, and said to Neo: "Let's go!"

Later, a shot shows the back of the pair walking towards the helicopter. Zhang Dongcheng immediately said: "Cut! It's perfect! This one is over!"

Next is the picture of Neo sitting in the helicopter, using the helicopter's hatch weapon, and the six-barreled Gatling heavy machine gun to shoot at the room where Morpheus is held.

This section is definitely a very passionate and exciting scene. But it is also very nerve-wracking to take pictures of each other, once you can't pass it all at once. Then the set alone would be enough of a headache.

After all, in the computer, Neo's six-barreled Gatling machine gun completely smashed the entire room!

Of course, it is impossible for Michelle Yeoh to be the one who drives the helicopter. If she dared to drive, Keanu Reeves would not dare to. Furthermore, it is impossible for Zhang Dongcheng to really do this. Doing this can't be said, but it will kill someone! The real pilots are professional helicopter pilots in the Australian New South Wales Army.

After finishing the shots on the rooftop, Zhang Dongcheng led the crew to the next set that had been arranged long ago.

Before shooting the helicopter scene, Zhang Dongcheng still needs to get the scene of Agent Smith interrogating Jason Statham's Morpheus first.

These shots of the same venue were all arranged together, and this section is all literary drama, so the filming went very smoothly. There is nothing difficult. There is basically no chance of a repeat.

Jason Statham was handcuffed to a chair, and various detection equipment was attached to his body.

The filming of this drama, which tests acting skills, was successfully completed in just over two hours. By this time, it was almost noon. The takeaway staff also delivered the crew's boxed lunch.

"OK! Let's have lunch first. After lunch, take a 20-minute break and continue shooting the next set of shots!"

Looking at the time, Zhang Dongcheng announced that he would stop work for dinner.

On the set, Zhang Dongcheng always eats and lives with all the members, and never engages in specialization. The box lunch is very rich, with meat and vegetables, and can fully meet people's needs in various aspects in terms of nutrition.

After everyone started eating, Zhang Dongcheng held a spoon in his hand and looked at the record sheet in his hand while eating. I was thinking about how to shoot the next set of shots.

In this paragraph, the focus is not how Trinity flies the plane, but the scene where Keanu shoots with a six-barreled Gatling heavy machine gun.

For this scene, at least five cameras are needed, one is placed on the helicopter, two are placed inside and outside the room; the last one is placed under the helicopter to capture the scattered bullet casings from the helicopter! Enhances the attack power effect of the six-barreled Gatling machine gun.

Because it involves helicopters, Zhang Dongcheng has never had such experience, so he can only learn from seniors such as Yuan Heping and Jack.
