Chapter 1,369 What’s in the box?(1/2)

Li Yi is making final preparations before filming begins.

Just watching those "crime scenes", I have to say that there are indeed many types of jobs in Hollywood.

Even comparing Li Yi's version with the original version, it was even worse.

However, if you think about it carefully, it doesn't necessarily mean that the original technology is worse than the current one. The main reason is that the movie was born in a different era.

everything's ready.

Soon, "Seven Deadly Sins" started shooting at Dean Films' studio in New York.

The shooting of this movie definitely cannot be as easy as shooting other movies. After all, the atmosphere of the whole movie feels quite depressing.

Especially those crime scenes, even if everyone present knows that they are just scenery, they still feel uncomfortable after watching them.

There is an interesting thing about "Seven Deadly Sins", because the seven days in it are all rainy days.

There is an iron rule in Hollywood: "Never touch animals or water"!

Of course, there is one more thing to add to this iron rule, that is, don’t touch children. Because animals, children and water are factors that are difficult to control, shooting is difficult and expensive!

"Seven Deadly Sins" is actually not bad, but it involves "water"!

In fact, rain scenes are really difficult to film. Of course Li Yi knows it, but there is no way that the seven times of rain in "Seven Deadly Sins" itself have a very profound meaning.

Fortunately, there is no need for violent storms, otherwise it would be even more troublesome.

Shooting with water is extremely troublesome. Many times in China, when writing scripts, one has to try to avoid writing about rainy days unless necessary. When filming rainy days, the crew usually cooperates with two units, one is the fire department, and the other is

Gardening companies. Both types of units can provide sprinklers. Of course, Hollywood does not need to be so troublesome. Dean Film and Television has a professional company that is responsible for the "water" in movie shooting.

Some people may say, wouldn’t it be simple in this case?

But in fact, the difficulty of rain scenes lies in the cooperation of various departments.

On the one hand, the photography and lighting teams have to find ways to protect the camera and lighting equipment. Once a problem occurs, it will inevitably delay the progress; on the other hand, if the actor's clothes are wet and the makeup is gone, it will take time to change and repair the clothes, which will also delay the process.

Progress. A day's filming costs a day's money, so producers want the film to be shot as quickly as possible. However, because the error tolerance rate is low, the rain scene is shot very slowly, which leads to burning money and the production cost also goes up.

Already.

In fact, the rain scene is nothing, the difficulty lies in the "violent storm" and "big wind and waves". The creation of these two environments is much more difficult than the rain scene. Among them, the most difficult one is the "wave". Filming cannot

Relying entirely on natural conditions, we don’t really go to the beach to shoot big waves, because the waves are not guaranteed to come and go, which will delay the progress. Therefore, we usually use wave pools, but ordinary wave pools cannot meet the needs of the crew for filming, so we have to shoot enough

To make waves, you need enough money.

Fortunately, "Seven Deadly Sins" does not have these problems, because it is just a normal rainy weather.

Of course, some more demanding directors will choose to shoot on a real rainy day, but in this case, shooting will consume more time and material resources.

Li Yi had no such plan.

Because "Seven Deadly Sins" does not have one or two rain scenes, it can be said that the movie has many rain scenes. It would be very troublesome to have to deal with the weather.

If it doesn't rain all the time, it will be a shame.

The Seven Deadly Sins actually has a lot of interesting details. The number "7" can't be found everywhere in the movie, but it does appear in many places.

For example, all the building numbers in the opening scene begin with 7, the delivery time at the climax is 7:07, etc., etc.

Of course, compared with the audience watching the movie, filming is actually very boring in many cases.

Fortunately, everyone eats this kind of rice and is a professional, so they are all used to it.

Li Yi actually doesn't like to work overtime most of the time when making movies. In Hollywood, there are rumors that people must get off work at a certain time and not work overtime. This is actually all nonsense, because when the scene is really critical, overtime will definitely still be worked.

However, it is not the norm in China.

"Seven Deadly Sins" is being filmed in an orderly manner. In addition to the leading actors, many behind-the-scenes staff do not know the complete plot of the film. This is also one of the fun aspects of filming this type of suspense film.

When they were taking a break, they would occasionally discuss the plot of the movie.

The filming of the movie is progressing very quickly.

After all, the drama "Seven Deadly Sins" cannot be released in China, so Li Yi has not done any publicity in China.

However, this cannot be hidden from insiders.

After all, there are many people who know about this matter, and just not publicizing it does not mean it is kept secret.

So, it spread quickly.

"Why do you want to film in Hollywood? Can't you do it at home?"

"Is this a regular operation of the dog director? It must have been shot in China but it couldn't be released, so it went to Hollywood."

"Anyway, even if it can't be shown in theaters, at least it will be no problem to watch it on the online platform. I look forward to Director Gou becoming the real king of suspense!"

"This is too difficult. After all, the routines of today's suspense films are all overused. How can it be so easy?"

Domestic movie fans are discussing it one after another.

At the same time, the crew of "Seven Deadly Sins" was filming the scene.

The final scenes of the movie are being shot.

It's the plot of Mills and old agent Summerser taking the murderer to his body hiding place.

This is the climax of the movie. Naturally, this scene is also the part that requires the most acting skills from the actors in the entire movie. This is a scene that requires their acting skills to explode.

A long shot of a vehicle moving behind the scenes.

I was going to shoot the scene after parking the car.

"'Seven Deadly Sins' Chapter 121, first shot, first time, ACTION!" As the credits fell.

This scene was officially shot.

Mills was letting the murderer get out of the car. At this time, camera No. 2 followed the old detective's line of sight and showed it to a dead dog on the side of the road.

When the time comes for dubbing, the sound of flying flies will be added.

"What is it?" Mills asked.

"A dead dog!" replied the old detective.

At this time, the camera focused on the "murderer". His face was unusually calm, and he said calmly: "I didn't kill him!"

This scene also includes footage of a helicopter monitoring the scene through a telescope.

Of course, this requirement is not high. Another group of lenses will take care of it, but Li Yi doesn't need to worry about it.

"what time is it?"

"What are you doing?" The old detective looked at the murderer with a serious and vigilant expression.

Li Yi couldn't help but nodded. He was worthy of being a Hollywood gold medal, and Daniel Moore's acting skills were masterful.

"I want to know!" The murderer still looked calm.

"Seven o'clock and one!"

"Soon!"

"Take us to see it!"

"Here!"

"OK, click! This one is passed!"

Li Yi shouted.

This is just a prelude, a foreshadowing, and a savings. It has not yet exploded, so the requirements are not complicated.

Of course, even though this step was passed, soon there would be helicopter shots to film them, so the three actors still had to shoot a walking scene.

Because it is a long-term perspective, the requirements are not high.

"Get ready and take the next picture!"

Li Yi shouted.

""Seven Deadly Sins" Chapter 121, second shot, first shot, ACTION!"

The three of them walked in front, and the camera followed them from behind.

After a while, Li Yi picked up the walkie-talkie and said to the assistant director: "Start!!"

At this time, shot No. 1 showed the old agent played by Daniel Moore, and he stopped.

Shot No. 2 captures a car driving from a distance.

"Mills!" the old agent reminded.

"Kneel down..." Mills raised his gun and asked the murderer to kneel down.

Then came the old agent run.

This scene may seem difficult, but in fact it is relatively simple.

Soon, this one was passed.

"Ten minutes of rest!" Li Yi thought for a while and let everyone rest.
