"Ahem, do you have any questions for me?" Mel Gibson couldn't bear the "loneliness" and took the initiative to express his goodwill to the reporter enthusiastically.
A small reporter was stunned for a moment, thinking he heard wrongly.
This is absolutely unprecedented. He has interviewed Gibson before. He is so awesome that he can't beat a fart with three sticks. He is a big name. That interview made the young reporter suffer a lot, but now... this guy actually...
Asking for an interview?!
So, the little reporter asked tentatively: "So, Mr. Gibson, what do you think of the role you are about to play?"
"My opinion is very simple. The Spartan king I played is definitely a character with both wisdom and courage! Yes, he combines the wisdom of Wallace and the courage of a patriot, and I will perfectly portray this character.
A person!" Mel Gibson smiled broadly and answered perfectly.
"Compared with Mr. Clinton's Xerxes," the reporter asked again, "who do you think will perform better?"
This question is highly suspected of sowing discord, and is also a favorite of reporters. After all, breaking news means constantly creating "gratitudes and hatreds."
Gibson laughed. As a veteran actor in Hollywood, he didn't know the "depth" of this problem.
"President Clinton is a very good person. I believe that the role he plays will be better than his last one!"
"Aren't you afraid that he will be more popular than you?" the reporter asked reluctantly.
"No, I'm just afraid that he can't surpass me. Yes. Why did I star in this drama? Because I like challenges!" Gibson smiled arrogantly.
…
No one would have thought that a very simple opening ceremony would become a source of intrigue among the actors.
Compared to Mel Gibson and Bill Clinton, who were "jealous" at the press conference, Jason Statham, as a newcomer, encountered good luck.
Specifically, a black female reporter was very curious about him. Seeing him sitting on the bench, she couldn't bear to ask him a few questions. Unexpectedly, when Jason said that he was from England, the female reporter also asked him a few questions.
Come on, "Me too!" I bet this is a British reporter.
Jason added, "I used to be an athlete!"
The black female reporter screamed again: "Oh God, me too!"
fate?!
Jason was stunned.
However, the black female reporter became interested and couldn't help but whisper an invitation: "Are you free tonight, let's have a meal together? After dinner, you can also go to my place for a cup of coffee!" Her eyes were as charming as silk.
Seeing the brunette's appearance, Jason refused very gentlemanly: "I'm sorry, I'm an actor, I don't have time!" But he was shouting in his heart, you are too dark, you are not my type!
How could a black female reporter understand Jason's thoughts? But she was really interested in him. She couldn't help but ask other questions, such as, "How were you selected?" "Are you interested in this?"
How do you feel about the role?" "What do you think is the most attractive about yourself?"
Faced with this series of questions, Jason was very personable. He said with a smile: "The main reason why I was chosen was because the crew was attracted by my appearance and acting skills. Although I am not a person who likes to praise.
My own person, but to be honest, I feel that I have great acting talent and will become a Hollywood action star sooner or later!"
"I feel very good about this role. It suits me very well, because I have a general style. The director also said that this role is perfect for me!"
"The last question, you asked me what I am most satisfied with and what is the most attractive about myself... Haha, this is hard to answer. How should I put it? I feel that everything about me is very good and I am very satisfied, but it is my muscles. I
I am very satisfied with my muscles, especially my abdominal muscles. Really, many people praise my abdominal muscles for being great!"
Everyone was stunned by Jason's super narcissism. The black female reporter opened her mouth wide, and then said something very awesome, "Then can you show your abdominal muscles?"
What's even more awesome is that Jason immediately said: "Okay!" He lifted his clothes and exposed his flesh!
God!
In an instant, everyone was amazed, what a majestic chocolate abs, wow, the muscles can also dance!
The reporters who were originally holding on to Mel Gibson and Bill Clinton were also stunned by the sudden "sexy" scene here.
All the media, all the flashbulbs, were aimed at Jason's abdominal muscles and took pictures wildly.
Jason had no stage fright. In front of everyone and under the spotlight, he did various postures that showed off his perfect figure. At that moment, he became the center of attention!
Gibson and Clinton, who were left out, looked at each other in disbelief, and then looked at Jason, who was in the limelight, with only one sentence in their mind, test, this is okay?!
No one could have imagined that the entire launch conference would change so fast, but the highlight in the end was the sudden appearance of newcomer Jason Statham. For Gibson and Clinton, this kid was too cheating, but as a director, Yi Feiyang had no intention
Go research these because he's about to officially announce his return to the world via the media.
At the end, Yi Feiyang stood up energetically and said to everyone: "Finally, thank you again for your attention to my drama! I officially announce that "300 Spartan" has officially started filming!"
…
The first shot follows the plot of the story. Persia sent a messenger, galloping in on a tall horse, announcing the decree of the Persian Emperor Xerxes and demanding the surrender of Greece.
The "galloping horse" scene in this scene was difficult to shoot, especially with a blue screen, as it needed to capture the image of the horse galloping on the endless road.
In order to achieve this kind of lens effect, Yi Feiyang specially sent people to find a horse worth millions, and then asked the actor to ride on it, anger it, and make it run wildly on the treadmill. Yes, it is a treadmill.
But this racehorse is different from humans after all, and is "very uncooperative" in some aspects. Helpless, Yi Feiyang had no choice but to ask the actors to communicate with it, feed it, care for it, caress it, and make it feel caring and caring.
Not to mention, this horse is very humane, and the actor finally got along very well with it. However, during the filming, it slapped its hooves again, and finally Yi Feiyang realized that it seemed to be afraid of the camera.
Animals are animals after all.
Helpless, Yi Feiyang had no choice but to step forward in person. He cared for it, caressed it, fed it...
Kubi's first scene was finally shot successfully through Kubi's communication.
Next, Mel Gibson, who played the male protagonist, came on the stage. He played the Spartan king Leoni. He was dissatisfied with the arrogance and rudeness of the Persian envoy and the insult to Greece. He kicked him in a rage.
The opponent kicked down the sinkhole and let out a battle roar.
Yi Feiyang attaches great importance to this set of shots, because a movie is like an intuitive novel. Whether it can attract the audience depends on whether the first five minutes are passionate enough, bloody enough, and suspenseful enough. Only in this way can we firmly grasp it.
Capture the audience's heart and keep them watching.
For this reason, Yi Feiyang attached great importance to the beginning of this drama.
The camera is positioned on the track, and the blue screen background has been set off. Then there is the "sinkhole" designed by the props. This is a "big crater" drawn with a 3D painting. From a visual point of view, it can definitely deceive.
your eyes.
The lighting engineer adjusted the light to a warm level to avoid astigmatism from the blue screen behind him.
Sitting behind the camera, Yi Feiyang saw that everything was ready, so he took a loudspeaker and shouted: "God Ike!"
The shooting officially started.
The fierce horse raised its front hooves and stopped at the palace of the King of Sparta.
The arrogant Persian envoy glanced at the Spartan guard with a haughty attitude and said contemptuously, "Let your king come out quickly. I have brought the decree of the great emperor Xerxes!"
Lens transition.
King Leoni, played by Gibson, appears, wearing a scarlet cloak, a golden crown, and the sword of the king.
Gibson has a great figure, with bulging muscles, and looks like a lion when he played Wallace. Of course, it can also be reminiscent of the appearance of the Mayan leader in the movie "Apocalypse" in which he starred in his previous life.
Leoni: "Are you the special envoy from Persia?"
Special envoy: "Yes, I am! Are you the King of Sparta?" His eyes were contemptuous and contemptuous.
The expression on Leonie's face remained unchanged, and he looked at the other party with firm eyes, "That's me. But why don't you salute?"
Special envoy: "Salute? As the Persian envoy, I will only salute our great Emperor Xerxes. For a small country like you, Greece, there is no need!"
…
"Pay attention to feelings, be sure to pay attention to feelings!" Yi Feiyang warned from behind the camera, "Emotional changes must have a sense of hierarchy..."
within the lens.
Leoni: "Well, may I ask what news your Emperor Xerxes asked you to bring?" His tone was sarcastic, which was a provocation to the Persian Empire.
The special envoy was very angry: "How dare you call our Majesty by his first name?"
Leoni's eyes widened, "So what? Are you not convinced?"
The Spartans on both sides were ready to move.
Post softened and said with some sternness: "Okay, I won't argue with a barbarian like you!"
Leoni: "Okay, you weakling, you better read out your bullshit edict!"
The envoy blushed and said, "You damn guy!" He cursed in his heart and read: "Our great Emperor Xerxes issued an edict to the King of Greece..."
What followed was a series of unequal treaties, to the effect that Greece would bow down and pay tribute in the new year.
For the Spartans, it was absolutely a great shame to admit defeat before the battle started.
close-up,
Leonie's face was full of anger, his eyes were spitting fire: "Shut up! You are insulting Sparta!"
The envoy said with a stern face, "So what if I insult you? As long as you refuse, our Persian army will sweep across Sparta, and then you will be destroyed!"
Leonie smiled, a weird smile, a scary smile, "Are you threatening me?"
The envoy bit the bullet and said, "So what? As the king of Sparta, you will die without a burial place!"
Leonie: "Really? Then, you go die first!"
Close-up shot, Leoni kicked the frustrated Post envoy into the sinkhole.
"Cut!" Director Yi Feiyang shouted to stop, "This angle is wrong, Gibson, you have to face the camera. Yes. Then kick him out hard!"
"And that special envoy. Does your expression have to be so exaggerated? You were kicked, not struck by lightning, so you don't need to wink. You just need to open your mouth wide and look fearful."
"Okay, everyone is in position. If there is no problem, shoot again!" Yi Feiyang arranged for the camera and actors to be repositioned and start shooting again.
This time the filming went very smoothly. As a veteran actor, Mel Gibson is very good at positioning and other aspects during filming. With a few corrections, the performance was spot on. As for the "poster envoy", he was kicked
The expression is a bit exaggerated, but the expression is still quite shaping. In one word, it can be adjusted.
It was shot in one day, very fast. According to Yi Feiyang's plan, it is expected to be released on time before Christmas.
But on the second day, Yi Feiyang didn't think so.
The content of the scene to be filmed today is that after King Leonid of Sparta killed the Persian envoy, the Persian Emperor Xerxes became furious and sent troops to destroy Sparta.
Thousands of huge ships carrying hundreds of thousands of Persian troops marched towards Sparta.
In other words, what we were shooting today was a war scene. If we follow the traditional shooting method, we would of course shoot the sailing of giant ships, battles and other modes on the sea. For example, for the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series that Fantasy Entertainment previously shot, we would just hire one
Port, for on-site shooting. However, this kind of shooting method costs too much money. Not to mention the thousands of giant ships, just the tens of thousands of soldiers, it is a huge expense.
Fortunately, the shooting method Yi Feiyang chose was blue screen shooting, which is commonly known as "fake scene post-production special effects" shooting. In front of a large blue curtain, the war scene to be shown is performed, and then post-processing is performed on the computer, similar to
In the previous life, "Life of Pi" directed by Li Yin, this scene is much simpler than it, because it does not need to be made into 3D, just some simple Hollywood special effects.
The person responsible for the special effects of this scene was the dream special effects team created by Yi Feiyang. This team had successfully produced the animated film "Speed Snail" before, and then learned a lot of experience and accumulated experience from predecessors such as DreamWorks and Industrial Light and Magic.
In many actual combats, Yi Feiyang now believes that he is fully capable of controlling the special effects of this drama. Of course, in terms of some special computer special effects, Yi Feiyang still needs to rely on external special effects companies. After all, Yi Feiyang has specialization and a special effects team
It's impossible to make all the special effects perfect, not to mention that Yi Feiyang is still a very picky person who pursues perfection.
Yi Feiyang was not worried about the special effects, but he was worried about the actors' performances.
As mentioned before, in order to reflect the passion and masculinity of this drama, the actors selected are almost all strong and strong men. However, due to the short time and incomplete role training, many people are still a little jerky in "acting", especially like this one.
It is even more difficult to act in a scene that simulates a war scene in front of a blue screen.
For example, a flying arrow killed a Persian soldier on a warship. In front of the blue screen, the actor playing the Persian soldier had to imagine the tragic war scene in front of the camera and the empty surroundings.
, smoke filled the air, the warship was on fire, the companions around me were screaming, fighting to the death, and then an arrow shot out, hitting me in the face... God, you have to know that these things do not exist in front of the blue screen.
It requires actors to imagine and simulate. To put it bluntly, it is more difficult than acting in a drama!
In other words, blue-screen performances actually test the acting skills of school actors!
Before, Yi Feiyang fancifully thought that all the selected actors could do a virtual or simulated performance in front of a blue screen, but now he knew that he was wrong, and a big mistake! If only one or two performances were too bad, it would be bad.
That's all, but the problem is that almost most of the supporting actors can't get into the role, and they can't act in front of the air at all!
At that moment, facing some performers of "life and death fighting on a warship", who were actually swaying in different postures, Yi Feiyang even thought about pinching people's necks.
Exam, is this acting?
It's a party!
"cut! Stop, stop everyone!"
A bit actor didn't listen to the instructions and was still performing "death" with all his teeth and claws. Yi Feiyang went up directly and kicked him in the butt!
However, under the power of Yi Feiyang's big feet, the unlucky guy flew out directly, wailing and practicing.
Everyone was shocked by Yi Feiyang's violent behavior. They only knew that there was money to be made from acting, which did not include kicking the butt!
In the United States, democracy is very important. Don't just hit someone casually. Even if you touch the other person, you will be taken to court.
But now...
Everyone was stunned.
"You, you, you, you dare to hit someone!" The companion who was kicked couldn't help but jump out and accuse.
Yi Fei raised his eyebrows and said, "If you don't want to act, get out! What are you talking about?!"
"Ah? I'm going to sue you!"
"I'll sue you!" Yi Feiyang kicked the opponent down directly.
Everyone was not stunned, but gasped.
Is this the crew or the underworld?!
Looking back, Yi Feiyang ignored the life and death of the two unlucky guys and said to everyone: "Do you know how to act? If not, leave as soon as possible. I don't accept waste here!"
"Look what you looked like just now? I want you to play your roles well, but what are you doing? Playing house, having a party? Playing as zombies, vampires, or witchers?! Each one of them is showing their teeth and claws, not even a little bit.
No acting skills at all!”
"You always complain that others don't give you a chance, and say how great you are, but what about you, have you lived up to your expectations? Have you worked hard? With your attitude, you can only be a part-timer in your life! Yes, you are a part-timer!"
Yi Feiyang's words directly aroused everyone's anger, "No, we are not like this, we all have ideals and dreams!"
"Really? Then show me your ideals and dreams! Mel Gibson, please, you are an experienced actor. Just tell them how to act in this play. Look at these clamoring people.
How capable are these guys who have ideals and dreams!”
After Yi Feiyang said these words, he went to rest.
The remaining extras looked at each other in shock.
Mel Gibson had already understood Yi Feiyang's intentions, shrugged his shoulders and said to the supporting cast: "Okay, man, who wants to learn acting from me?!"
Wow! Everyone raised their hands. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
