Chapter 371. [I can rest assured that you do things]
It is said that all the crew members were in place, and Angelina, as the heroine, took a deep breath, began to adjust her condition, and entered the camera. The filming of this scene started immediately.
"Action!" Yi Feiyang gave the order, and the scribe beside him immediately slapped the slate, and the shooting officially started.
On the camera, a lonely Julie came to this deserted supermarket with her puppy Lassie.
In such a large supermarket, there is no one, no, to be precise, there are many plastic mannequin "customers". They are either standing in the aisle or leaning on the shelves, with dull and lifeless expressions.
The shooting shots range from a long shot, to a close shot, to a top-down crane shot, as well as a close-up of the processed plastic model. The shots are very precise and delicate.
In the camera, the loyal dog Lacy occasionally picks up some daily necessities and food that Julie needs in its mouth, as if it is familiar with this place and knows what its owner needs.
In fact, before the filming started, Angelina Jolie often had a relationship with this German shepherd named Lassie. Jolie is a dog lover herself, and she also has many puppies at home, which can be said to be very interesting.
"Common language", so he and Laci communicated quickly. Soon, one person and one dog established a deep friendship. The sweet scene of the two getting along made even Laci's owner a little jealous.
As Angelina moves, the camera begins to move on the paved track.
"Hey Lisa, we meet again, what did you buy? Is it pumpkin butter? It looks like you are going to make pumpkin pie for Sam! God, I really want to try your craft... What, your craft is very good
Great. I will definitely visit your home when I have time!" Julie said to herself, facing a plastic mannequin dressed as a woman.
"Hi Peter. Do you like this hat? But I think it doesn't suit you very well. Maybe a green round hat will suit you!" Julie walked up to another model and said.
It was a male plastic mannequin, with his hands in his pockets and wearing a black peaked cap.
It's pointless to ask. This line was deliberately concocted by Yi Feiyang, asking Angelina Jolie to "cuckold" "Pete". Only Yi Feiyang could come up with such a classic line.
…
"Oh no no no! Cut! Stop the computer first!" Suddenly, Yi Feiyang, who was sitting behind the monitor, shouted. "Everyone, stop for a moment. I think this effect is very wrong, yes, it is really wrong!" Yi Feiyang
Frowning, he watched the replay.
The actors and crew members who had just joined the film didn't quite understand what was wrong with them as a director - the filming just now was very good.
"Jack, Charlie, come here!" Yi Feiyang greeted them.
Fat Jack and Cindy came over.
"Look at the effect of this scene. Is there anything missing?" Yi Feiyang asked.
Fat Jack and Cindy have both been directors and are masters in filming. After looking carefully, they couldn't see anything wrong with it.
"No. Boss, I think it's very good."
"Yes. Julie's expression is spot on, and the model's close-ups are also very delicate!"
Suddenly, there was a snap, and Yi Feiyang snapped his fingers, "What did you say? Say it again!"
Cindy was startled, "I said, the close-up of the model is also very delicate, that's right!"
"It's right here, haha, it's right here!" Yi Feiyang laughed like crazy.
Everyone has long been accustomed to this tyrant director's temperament of laughing and crying at times, so they are not much surprised.
"You said, it was shown from the beginning that these people in the supermarket are dummies, and it would be boring for Julie to greet them one by one. If it were changed, when these models were photographed, their backs were turned to them, making it difficult for people to tell the difference.
True or false, we even treat them as real people, and then after Julie says hello, suddenly--well, Lacy can accidentally knock down a plastic mannequin, and then the mannequin falls to the ground and breaks apart! You say, to
How will the audience, who originally thought these models were real people, react?!"
Yi Feiyang finished what he wanted to say in one breath, and Fat Jack and Cindy also understood.
If it were really shot like that, the effect would definitely be terrifying and terrifying! After the horror and horror, there is deep sadness, and I feel sad because of the protagonist's desire to communicate with others.
There is no doubt that the loneliness and loneliness at that moment will be doubled!
"This is definitely a great idea!"
"What a great idea!" Fat Jack and Cindy both said with admiration.
In fact, they were almost numb to Yi Feiyang's miracles from time to time, but such sudden inspiration still surprised them.
"Okay! In this case, we will modify the scene script and shoot according to what I just said." After Yi Feiyang confirmed it, he called Angelina Jolie over and told her how to shoot later and what to do.
Align with the camera.
I have to say that the effect of Yi Feiyang's revised script was really amazing. Even Zhu Li, who is the lead actor, couldn't help but be moved after watching the playback. "God, did I really act in this?"
!" she asked herself.
…
A week passed quickly, and the filming speed of "I Am Legend" was amazing.
Next, enter the difficult shooting.
The reason why it is called difficult is because this scene requires a large number of people. The plot of the story is, "The virus broke out and people in Los Angeles fled."
The extras filming this movie are basically the same people from "The Walking Dead". These people have changed from zombies to refugees and will accept new challenges again.
In order to achieve a realistic shooting effect, Yi Feiyang decided to block the Golden Gate Bridge in Los Angeles at eight o'clock in the evening.
Of course, such a big scene has been filed with the relevant departments. Nowadays, it is rare to have the technology to shoot at night at high altitude.
In the past, Yi Feiyang had experienced many such high-altitude shootings, but those were all during the day, and there were no lights, insufficient light, or interference. This time it was different, at least in terms of lighting, the requirements were particularly high.
Before the filming started, Yi Feiyang found Charlie who was responsible for the lighting arrangement. Charlie was also an old man from Fantasy Entertainment. He started making adult movies back then. Later, he was spotted by Yi Feiyang and became one of his strong men. Now five or six years have passed, and his talent has been ignored.
The lighting engineer has become a senior executive of the Fantasy Entertainment Technology Group and is respected as the "God of Lights".
When Charlie saw Yi Feiyang, he didn't have the airs of a "djinn god" at all. On the contrary, he was a little unnatural, because he was not the only one who had changed over the years. Yi Feiyang's changes were even greater, especially the aura on his body.
It suffocates people who don't know him.
"Hey, Charlie, you're here," Yi Feiyang said calmly, "Look at these models..." Yi Feiyang pointed to the table.
Only then did Charlie see a model of the Golden Gate Bridge in Los Angeles on the table. The structure was about 500:1 and occupied the entire table.
"If we were to shoot on this bridge, in order to avoid being tripped by the cables at the top of the bridge, we would have to shoot from a height of five to seven meters. But in this way, the street lights originally installed on the bridge would not be enough.
The light that provides visibility can only capture a rough outline, and you know, this is not the effect I want."
Charlie carefully looked at the height of the bridge, the height of the overlooking shooting, and the brightness of the street lights on the bridge, and calculated the visibility required for the shooting.
"Yes, boss, you are right, if you shoot like this, you won't get good results."
"So, I need your help, Charlie. I want to shoot the scene of people crowding the bridge and capture the panic of the people. This requires lighting to match the requirements of the camera. Can you do it?" Yi Feiyang proposed.
Require.
"Maybe I can give this a try." After Charlie said that, he began to study how to enhance the overall light of the bridge.
First of all, it is obviously impossible to add street lights to the entire bridge. It is also unrealistic to increase the brightness of the street lights themselves. After all, the wattage of the lamp tubes is fixed, unless they are all replaced with ultra-high power.
After much deliberation, Charlie decided to start shooting from the helicopter.
Charlie suggested that five super-powerful search lights could be installed on the aircraft, just like the long-range search lights used by night ships. When shooting, the five search lights were projected onto the bridge, and the lens moved with the light of the search lights.
, this way there will be no black areas and the shooting effect will not be blurry.
Yi Feiyang was very impressed with this idea, but then the problem arose again. The helicopter used for filming was not big. How to install five large search lights? Where to install them?
At this time, Cindy, the photographer in charge of photography, suddenly reminded Yi Feiyang: "The last time we shot "Iron Man", we seemed to have borrowed a large helicopter from the US Air Force. It has a large capacity. Maybe, that one can..."
Yi Feiyang remembered that it was a U.S. military V-22 Osprey helicopter, a fixed-wing spiral transport aircraft used by the U.S. Marine Corps that can take off and land vertically. Its combat effectiveness is mainly used to transport Marines in the U.S. Navy's amphibious assault ship formation.
Soldiers conduct landing operations.
Yi Feiyang thought about it for a while, then called the Los Angeles City Hall. Mayor Johnson gave him a number, which was the number of Colonel Richard Henry of the Los Angeles Air Force, and said: "You can contact him, everything will be done."
It’s all agreed upon.”
Of course, Yi Feiyang understood that they were trying to save him face, so he smiled and said that he would like to invite you to tea another day. Mayor Johnson said: "It is better to treat me to tea than to drink. I heard that you have several bottles of good Lafite on hand!"
"You know this too, so I'll ask someone to give you a few bottles!"
These expensive red wines were bought by Yi Feiyang from France for the purpose of giving them away. Who said that the United States does not pay attention to the sophistication of people. It is the same everywhere in the world. When dealing with people, gifts must come first. Therefore, cigars, wine, and
Some relatively expensive items have become popular in the industry.
…
The next day, the weather was fine, and in the evening, the crew went to the Golden Gate Bridge in Los Angeles for filming.
"Dear Mayor, tonight, I need a dozen police cars, at least dozens of police officers, and some protective measures, mainly setting up some roadblocks..." Yi Feiyang said in a deep voice on the phone.
"Well, Yi, I know all this and have already taken care of it for you. Just feel free to shoot! You will definitely get what you want tonight!" Mayor Johnson said with a smile. "Also, thank you for the bottle of Lafite.
My wife loves it!”
"Haha, as long as you like it, I will visit you in person after a while!"
"Then I'll be waiting for your good news."
"Well, thank you again. Dear mayor. If this movie is successfully shot, you will definitely take a large part of the credit. Thank you very much!" Yi Feiyang said with a smile.
Sometimes it is really important to have a good relationship with these politicians. After all, county officials are not as good as current managers, and art also needs government support.
At seven o'clock in the evening, Yi Feiyang and the crew finally set off.
"Hey guys, the plot of tonight's filming is about a horrific virus outbreak in Los Angeles. The whole city fled. The heroine played by Julie said goodbye to her husband and children, and took the initiative to stay where she was to study the virus, hoping to find a way to crack it.
"Yi Feiyang carefully explained to everyone the filming content of this scene.
"Because the scene of this set of shots is difficult to control and is very large, it is impossible to constantly reshoot with n cameras. You must know that one shot requires seven to eight hundred people to act together. It cannot be affected by your mistakes alone.
The overall situation, so. My request is that no matter who you are, you must be 100%, no, 200% serious, once and for all, and no n-time is allowed!" Yi Feiyang's tone was very stern, and you can imagine that he
How demanding are the requirements for this set of lenses?
After listening to Yi Feiyang's explanation, all the actors, including Angelina Jolie, Morgan Freeman, and Johnny Depp, all nodded.
Among them, Angelina Jolie, as the leading star, of course pays great attention to the feeling of this scene, and Johnny Depp plays her husband, and has a long scene opposite Julie, and is well prepared. Finally, there is Morgan Freeman, who plays
As a senior military officer, this old black actor can be said to be at ease.
After explaining the script, Yi Feiyang turned back to Fat Jack, who was the assistant director, and said: "In addition to the starring role in filming this scene, the other thing is the cooperation of the extras... There is no problem with the extras, right?" Yi Feiyang said seriously
asked.
"Boss, don't worry! It's been arranged. Although they are extras, everyone has worked with you on "The Walking Dead", so the tacit understanding and communication are very good... As for the shooting time, I asked them to arrive at the Golden Gate Bridge on time at eight o'clock in the evening!
By the time we arrive, they will almost be here!" The fat man nodded confidently.
Yi Feiyang smiled and said: "I can rest assured that you will do things, thank you for your hard work!"
"Haha, this is what I should do." Fatty said cheerfully. It was not easy to be praised by Yi Feiyang.
"By the way, your movie "Kung Fu Panda" should be released soon, right?" Yi Feiyang suddenly asked.
"Well, it's been decided. It will be released in three days." This was Fatty's masterpiece as he entered the ranks of great directors, and he was very interested in it.
"I'm going to help you hold a grand premiere then." Yi Feiyang said with a smile.
"Ah, what? Boss! Did I hear you correctly?" The fat man opened his mouth wide, looking very funny.
"Of course you heard me right!" Yi Feiyang patted the fat man on the shoulder and said, "You have helped me so much and never take credit. I should also thank you!"
"But, but you personally came to help me, this..."
You know, Yi Feiyang's status at this time is very special. If he can attend and take the initiative to hold the premiere, then Fatty will reach the sky in one step, at least in terms of public opinion, he will be able to create a sensation.
"Haha, I just want people to know that I will not treat anyone who is loyal to me badly!" Yi Feiyang's eyes were burning.
…
Ten minutes later, Yi Feiyang and everyone finally arrived at the Golden Gate Bridge. At this time, the area around the Golden Gate Bridge was already surrounded by people on three levels inside and three outside. They were all full of people.
"Boss, these must be extras!" Fat Jack said.
"You can see that he is very enthusiastic!"
"How can you not be enthusiastic? Boss, you don't even know how popular you are now? It's too exaggerated!"
Since winning the Oscar again, Yi Feiyang's popularity has skyrocketed.
Of course Yi Feiyang knew it, but the greater his fame, the more troubles he had.
At this moment, Yi Feiyang stepped out of the car directly.
"China Easy! China Easy!"
"Yi Feiyang, we love you!"
"Yi, can we take a photo with you?"
"Yi, can you sign your name for me?"
Suddenly, all the thousands of extras surrounding the Golden Gate Bridge became excited.
Apart from some of the extras who come here to be extras in The Walking Dead, there are also some who are basically fans of Yi Feiyang. Making money is secondary, and they mainly come to meet Yi Feiyang himself.
At this moment, everyone was excited to see Yi Feiyang alive and so handsome.
Yi Feiyang smiled helplessly and could only wave his hand.
After receiving the response, the fans became even more crazy, shouting and screaming, and the scene got out of control for a while.
There are several men in black standing next to Yi Feiyang. These people are his personal bodyguards. In such a chaotic scene, their job is to always pay attention to their surroundings to ensure the safety of Yi Feiyang's life.
Over there, the beautiful Angelina, the handsome Johnny Depp, the veteran actor Morgan Freeman and others are helpless.
"Julie, isn't Yi's popularity too exaggerated?" Johnny Depp said a little jealously, "Does it mean that I'm not as handsome as him? Look, those movie fans don't even look at me!"
"Well, to put it bluntly, if I look carefully, you are really not as handsome as him!" Zhu Li blinked.
"Oh God, it hurts your pride!" Johnny made a bitter look.
Next to him, Freeman smiled and said: "Do you feel like you have been completely overshadowed, Depp?"
"More than that! It's completely out of the limelight! Appearing with Yi is so insignificant!" Johnny Depp said in a funny way.
…
"Quiet, please be quiet first! Listen to me!" At this moment, Fat Jack handed over a big speaker, and Yi Feiyang took the speaker and shouted directly.
The next second, it finally became quiet.
"Hello everyone, I'm Yi Feiyang!" Yi Feiyang spoke first without pausing, and then said: "Thank you all for taking time out of your busy schedule to come here to be an extra. I appreciate your enthusiasm and passion.
I will keep it in my heart even more! I am here to thank you all for coming!" Yi Feiyang's tone was very passionate, and he bowed again after finishing speaking.
In an instant, everyone went crazy again.
"The Yi in my mind is so real and approachable!"
"So handsome, I recorded the moment when China Yi bowed! Haha, congratulations to me!"
"Yi, we will always support you!"
Yi Feiyang smiled slightly, then waved his hand, and the scene suddenly became quiet again.
"I'm very pleased to see that you guys were able to calm down and obey the arrangements in a short period of time. As an actor, whether you are an extra or a leading actor, what you have to do on the set is not only to pursue perfect performances, but more importantly
Obey the arrangement, obey the director's arrangement! Tonight, you are actors, my best actors! Please obey the arrangement and let us make this movie together! Can you do it?"
"able!"
"Louder, I can't hear you!"
"able!"
"I found that my boss would be very successful even if he became a speaker. This speech was so passionate and contagious that I almost got excited!" Photographer Cindy said with some admiration.
"Who says it's not the case? The boss does have a lot of shining points. As his subordinate, I am under a lot of pressure!" Charlie, the lighting engineer, shook his head and sighed.
At this moment, a siren sounded in the distance, and Yi Feiyang quickly looked towards the source of the sound.
In the distance, there are a dozen police cars, and there are a few helicopters in the sky that Yi Feiyang needs. The movement can be said to be very loud!
"Good guy, with this momentum, it will probably be the headlines tomorrow!" Yi Feiyang said to himself with a wry smile. (To be continued...)
