(Adapting foreign movies is always a pain. For example, in the real movie, the main character is named Sam, but in the novel, he has to change it to a Chinese name, and then name it Wang Song. Embarrassing. And the name Wang Song is just so-so.)
The onlookers at the filming site were talking excitedly all the time, and the sound formed a huge torrent of sound, which interfered with the normal filming work. Wang Shang had to use a loudspeaker to silence them.
Fortunately, Wang Shang's appeal was sufficient, and the voices of the onlookers suddenly became very quiet, with only a few whispers left. Those who wanted to speak were quickly stopped by the looks of those around them.
After more than half an hour of busy work, the Maserati store, the second-hand car store next to it, and the makeup of the protagonists' father and son' were all ready, and the camera guide rails and cantilevers were also laid out.
Wang Shang, Michael Bay, his photographer and two actors discussed the shooting process and precautions. Finally, they felt that there was no problem, and they officially started shooting.
With Wang Shang's command, the filming officially started.
The protagonist Wang Song (played by Hu Bugui) got into his father's Bentley, and then led by his father to the place where he bought the car.
At this time, the camera is on a cantilever above the vehicle, following the car along the guide rail.
"Son, you know, I have a surprise for you today." Sitting in the car, Wang Song's father talked freely.
"What surprise?"
"Well, a little surprise." Following the words of the protagonist's father, the car turned and arrived at the door of Maserati.
The protagonist Wang Song was really surprised when he saw all this. His face was almost filled with happiness and he smiled brightly: "Dad, are you kidding? I can really buy a car here??"
"Yes. I'm joking. You won't get a Maserati. I'm just kidding you." Wang Song's father laughed unscrupulously.
Sure enough, Wang Song's father continued to drive forward and left the Maserati store.
"Oh... no..." Wang Song held his head and scratched his hair several times. He was extremely depressed and finally complained, "You think this is fun?"
"Yes, it's very fun." Along with my father's proud laughter.
Father and son started to quarrel.
"How could you do this?"
"Do you really think the first car I bought you was a Maserati?"
"I will never play with you again..."
"Haha, this is a real joke..."
"Not funny at all..."
At this point, Wang Shang started shouting ‘cut’ loudly into the loudspeaker! Because there were not many acting skills involved and there were few close-ups of facial expressions, this performance passed in one go.
Then the battlefield began to be moved to the second-hand car dealer next door, and all the equipment began to be dismantled and moved. Wherever the crew passed by, onlookers gave way automatically.
Then it took another hour to lay the track, set up the cantilever, and arrange the shooting scene. During this time, Wang Shang and several key members of the crew began to study the subsequent shooting.
Wang Shang doesn't really like to limit shooting to the script. Wang Shang is always thinking of various other ways to shoot the plot better. And the kind of person who says to him, "This is the script, I
The kind of actor who acts according to the script, then this actor will definitely understand what it means to be a tyrant on the set.
"Director Wang, I found that we all have a lot in common." Michael said to Wang Shang while drawing a picture of the expected shooting.
"Really??" Wang Shang turned his head and smiled.
"I'm like you, I don't like to be constrained by the script. When shooting, I like to try my best to optimize it according to the actual situation and make it more perfect. There are many rigorous directors who actually don't like this and think it will
Destroy the entire script, and Hollywood scripts are all provided by the production company. As a director, there are very few changes. I hate this."
"Ah haha~~ The fact that we are doing this proves that we are both geniuses..." Wang Shang flattered himself and the other party without blushing. After getting along with each other for this period of time, Michael Bay is the kind of person who is more open-minded.
A very casual person, this kind of person is quite suitable for Wang Shang's character and temperament.
When Wang Shang said this, Michael Bay burst into laughter.
After laughing, Michael glanced at Wang Shang, who was in a relatively cheerful mood. He proposed an idea that came to his mind during this period: "By the way, Director Wang, I have an idea. I like speakers. I think I have a speaker in my hand."
, I feel more comfortable shouting, and the actors and staff can hear it more clearly, so can I buy a dozen speakers for the crew and give them to the person in charge of each module?"
Wang Shang touched his chin, which had grown a lot of beard, and pondered for a second before replying: "I think it's okay, okay! I'll just buy a dozen speakers as you said!!"
Wang Shang's agreement made Michael Bay feel respected. When he came here, he was afraid that he would be rejected by others in a foreign country. He did not expect to be respected by Wang Shang from the beginning.
Although others had not seen his abilities, they gave him enough respect because of Wang Shang and made various suggestions. As long as they were reasonable, others would not refute them.
"Although the experience of actors and film workers is not as rich as that of Hollywood, they have exactly the same love for movies."
Michael felt the active, eager to learn, focused, and hard-working attitude of the crew members around him, and thought to himself: "China is a good place. I was underestimating it before."
Although the movies in China have achieved certain results in the box office list, although there are dozens of movie stars in China developing in Hollywood, and although there are tens of thousands of Chinese people working in Hollywood, in the hearts of Hollywood filmmakers, China is still a wild place for movies.
Too much, many people even despise Chinese movies.
It turns out that although Michael Bay does not despise Chinese movies, he still looks down on them. This is why he was so entangled when he was invited to China to become the world-famous assistant director of "Transformers". Now that he is here, he feels that the whole movie
The production team is pretty good, which changed my original impression.
"When I return to Hollywood in the future, it seems that I need to promote Chinese films, and at least help Director Wang increase his reputation." Michael Bay thought to himself as he looked at the director who was younger than himself.
Wang Shang didn't know that he had already convinced a great director who was destined to be famous all over the world with his actions. At this time, he was instructing the crew members to buy speakers.
In less than half an hour, the speakers were released, and a total of fifteen were purchased. Each of the main people in charge had one. After getting them, they couldn't help but shout with the speakers, which made everyone laugh.
The rest of the crew and the onlookers laughed.

While "Transformers" was being filmed in an orderly manner, far away at the filming location of "The Lord of the Rings" in Tongariro National Park, New Zealand, the director of "The Lord of the Rings" Alfonso Cuarón and the crew were discussing Wang Shang's story.
This "Transformers".
Alfonso Cuaron was holding a local New Zealand entertainment newspaper. On the open side of the newspaper was the news about the press conference of "Transformers" - ""Transformers" announced the start of production, director Wang Shang claimed that it will
We will apply a new generation of 3D technology, and at the same time we will cooperate with the Chinese military to create the most exciting masterpiece!"
Because New Zealand was once colonized by the British, its official language is English, which is easy to read. The newspaper introduced in detail some information about the filming of "Transformers", from CG to supercomputers to 3D to military cooperation.
Listed in detail.
Alfonso Cuaron pinched his temples and said with a headache: "I originally thought that "Transformers" would not pose a threat to our movie. After all, we were shooting in 3D format this time, but I didn't expect that China would be able to produce one.
3D.”
"Hey, Huaxia? 3D? Don't be ridiculous~~" Another mature short man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks and a height of only 1.4 meters said sarcastically.
Hearing this, Pachira, the producer of "The Lord of the Rings" glanced at it and said: "If it were someone else, I might still have confidence, but if it were Wang Shang, I would not have confidence. You don't understand
he."
Pachira is from Paramount, and his competitor in the production team is Wang Shang's contact, and he is quite familiar with Wang Shang.
