World-class directors in the entertainment industry

The next day, when the sky was slightly brighter.

Desert area on the edge of Phoenix.

At this moment, countless lights are on, and there are a large number of staff.

The noise and the sound of machines running overlap with each other.

"Everyone, hurry up. The simple shed must be set up before eight o'clock. Then it will be your day's work."

A middle-aged man wearing a suit and a helmet, holding a loudspeaker, stood on a strange-looking car and shouted loudly to the people working around him.

"Yeah, okay..."

The crowd cheered and suddenly worked more energetically.

Don't think that foreigners don't need to stay up late to process. That's impossible.

It's just that these people get a lot of money for overtime work. However, most foreigners like to enjoy it. Even if the money is rich, many people are not willing to work overtime unless they have to. They would rather make less money than suffer.

There are requirements for overtime pay. If you dare to pay less, various local labor unions will come to you.

And if overtime pay is given in accordance with local requirements, the bosses will not be happy because it is too much and the gains outweigh the losses, so overtime is not popular in foreigners' territories.

...

A hotel on the edge of Phoenix.

At eight o'clock, four cars and two buses were parked downstairs.

At the top of the hour, Qin Dong had already dressed up, led everyone out of the hotel, got into the car, and drove towards the desert area outside the city.

The shooting location is not randomly chosen. You have to have a place to live, and you can’t live in the desert.

The Sonora Desert is huge, not only here, but also in California, and even borders Mexico. Half of the desert is within the Mexican national territory.

If he could save money, Qin Dong could go to Mexico to shoot. Unfortunately, Mexico is even more chaotic than the United States.

Various drug lords and so on, there are gun battles every day in the United States, and there are many lawless people in Mexico. After all, relying on the United States, the economy, including the city appearance, has been devastated, so in order to save money and find trouble, Qin Dong will not do it.

"Director Qin, a simple resting shed has been set up."

At half past eight, Qin Dong arrived at the edge of the desert.

There were still no buildings here yesterday, but now there is a huge simple shed.

Thomson, assistant to the president of CAA, came up to report to Qin Dong.

Before the crew can start filming normally, he has to deal with these things here. He can only go back when the crew is back to normal. This is a task assigned to him by CAA President Martin.

"Very good. Have the movie equipment including the vehicles been transported?"

Qin Dong looked at the shed from a distance and found that it was really big. At least it was big enough for everyone in the crew to rest inside. He nodded and asked about other things.

"All the cars have been brought here and they are all in the shed. I am afraid that the media will take secret photos and affect the director's plan."

Thomson pointed to the shed and added his own kind thoughts at the end.

"Thomson, you've done a good job as an assistant."

The other party wanted to gain some goodwill, Qin Dong heard it, smiled, patted Tom's shoulder, and complimented him casually.

It's just that he wants to leave a good impression on him. After all, Qin Dong has a good relationship with Martin. As Martin's assistant, Thomson is very good at getting things done.

"Thank you, director, for the compliment."

Thomson smiled.

"Let's go and see those modified vehicles."

Qin Dong strode forward.

The people who got off the car behind also followed Qin Dong's footsteps and walked towards the shed. Suddenly, there was a shed in the desert, which really caught the eye.

...

Inside the shed, the first thing you see when you walk in are all kinds of strangely shaped vehicles.

"Oh my God, what kind of cars are these."

"Wow, it's so handsome. I like these modifications."

The rest of the crew who followed Qin Dong walked into the shed and sighed involuntarily when they saw these vehicles.

The first one is an extended tank truck, which seems to be very common.

But at this moment, this oil tanker looks very old and rusty, and there is actually a forklift shovel installed on the front of the truck.

The tires on both sides of the vehicle had sharp spikes sticking out, and there was a huge iron ball behind the vehicle.

The whole car suddenly felt domineering and murderous.

The second car resembles a Beetle.

The front wheels are small, and the rear wheels are very large. There are several spiked iron rods standing up to the sky at the front and rear. A triangular iron plate is installed in front of the front of the car, stretching straight forward. If it hits a vehicle, it will directly hit it.

Penetrated.

The third vehicle resembles a military truck.

The front of the car is still equipped with a triangular iron block as a protection. This time it is no longer one piece, but five pieces. The whole hanger of the car has been modified and turned into a device that can release fireworks. There are also many speakers and even fixed ones.

seats.

The fourth one is even more weird.

Except for the four wheels and the steering wheel, which looks like a car, the rest of the car is scary. The front and rear of the car are full of spikes, just like hedgehogs. The whole car is covered with thorns, and only the driver's seat inside can be used.

Full of spikes.

The fifth vehicle is more like a tank than a car.

Because this car has no tires, there are tank tracks underneath the car, and there is a super large searchlight on the roof. Taken together, it is so weird.

The sixth car looks normal, a pickup truck.

It's just that the tires on this pickup truck are exaggerated and super big. A strong man is not as tall as the wheels. It's understandably exaggerated.

The remaining vehicles also have their own weird shapes. Some cars have an iron rod standing high on top, and there is a place for people to stand on it, fixed there. Some cars have small front wheels and super large rear wheels.

, the strange shapes of water are filled with this newly built shed.

"Director Qin, are you satisfied with these modified vehicles?"

This was not the first time Thomson had seen it, but he was still amazed.

These vehicles were specially modified from scrapped vehicles according to the graphics drawn by the director in front of them.

Martin is Qin Dong's agent, but he is also the president of CAA, so he cannot do it himself all the time. This naturally falls on Thomson, the assistant to the president.

"You did a great job."

Qin Dong walked around and observed these modified vehicles one by one.

Some things are one thing when you see them in movies, but another thing when you see them in real life.

Why does the development of movies include 2D, 3D is popular now, and there will be 4567 in the future? This is reality, and what is needed is a visual impact.

If the impact of watching it in the cinema is realized in reality, the visual feeling of watching it with your own eyes will definitely be even more satisfying.

The modified vehicles in front of me all look shabby and rusty, but with the various spikes, forklift heads, and spiral spikes protruding from the wheels, a ferocious feeling suddenly emerges.

It will definitely make many car fans happy.

"Oh, oh, baby, why did you become like this?"

At this time, a wailing cry attracted everyone's attention.

I saw Nicolas Cage, who was affectionately touching a modified car, a Ford Falcon GT.

As the third generation Ford Falcon, its production cycle was only three years from 1973 to 1976. The top model of the two-door Hardtop and V8 engine-Falcon GT.

This car looks a little more normal. Compared to other vehicles, at least the model is generally normal.

Even the exterior is very old and rusty, and the windows on the left and right are empty.

At this time, the former superstar was stroking and wailing at the same time.

It's like a beloved wife has been raped.

"Nicola, if you like it, I'll give it to you after the movie is made."

Qin Dong walked over with a smile and said something.

The down-and-out superstar in front of us, when he was popular, was very obsessed with all kinds of luxury cars, mansions, etc. He spent money like water, otherwise how could he go bankrupt during the financial crisis.

"Qin, forget it. It's already in such a state of ruin. If I had the money to remodel and renovate it now, forget it."

Nicholas's eyes lit up, then dimmed for a moment, and he shook his head in rejection.

A man obsessed with luxury cars, he could immediately recognize that the car in front of him was a Ford model from fifty years ago. If it was well maintained, it would be worth collecting. However, Nicholas doubted whether the car in front of him could be started.

"Okay, then why don't you try it? This car is actually your ride in the movie."

Qin Dong also knew that Nikolai's economy was not doing well, so he didn't force it and extended his hand to signal.

The man in front of me has a very accurate vision, and he can find the real car of the male protagonist in the movie at a glance.

"Really, this is my car. Oh, gate, I like it. Let me try it."

Nicholas was ready to make a move after hearing this. After he finished speaking, he opened the car door and did not mind that the car was in tatters.

"Dong...dong...dong..."

The car was started, the engine started roaring, and half a minute later it drove out of the shed and headed towards the desert.

"Sally, say goodbye to your long golden hair."

After looking at the car running out from a distance, Qin Dong came back to his senses and pointed at Charlize Theron's hair in the distance.

"Oh, director, you are so, well, maybe I really should say goodbye to my beautiful hair."

When Charizi saw Qin Dong now urging him to do it, he complained deliberately, and then walked toward a small room in the shed as if appointed.

This place has been renovated. Except for most of the places where modified vehicles are parked, the rest has been converted into small rooms separated by wooden boards.

This is a place for directors, main actors, etc. to rest, change clothes, and put on makeup. There are signs on it.

As for the other crew members and extras, they naturally had to follow the modified vehicles.

"Pah...pah...pah..."

Qin Dong watched Charizi obediently walk into the dressing room, followed by several makeup artists from the crew, and clapped his hands at the others to attract everyone's attention:

"Everyone, come on, get busy."

"In half an hour, I need to see the first shot of the movie officially start shooting."

"Everyone in his place."

The crowd dispersed in a hurry, everyone was busy with their own affairs. The crew were all old people who had followed Qin Dong for several years and knew how to do it very well.

As for other actors and even extras, they naturally have makeup artists. These people do not have the same treatment as Charize. There is not enough space in the desert in the wilderness, so they can only queue up in the middle of this shed and wait for the makeup artists to come one by one.
