Chapter 815 First Shot

Stan Winston was one of the first people to come across the script.

As early as when he was in the United States, he received the script from Yin Jun, especially the parts that required the use of special effects.

After careful consideration and comparison, he came to Xiangjiang with the technical staff suitable for "Speed ​​of Life and Death".

Luo Lixian only started to enter the special effects industry last year, but he was born to do this. After more than half a year of hard work, he has quickly mastered it.

Following a master like Winston, he studied even more carefully, eager to miss every minute and every second.

Not only does he study very seriously, but his work also reflects his characteristics of being a hard-working Saburo. He has to do anything about special effects himself, and he even has to imitate the protagonist and experiment first.

For this reason, Luo Lixian had been injured several times, but at most he came back with a bandage the next day. This made Winston like this young man very much, and told Yin Jun that he would take him to Hollywood to train him. Become a super elite in your own digital field.

At this time, Luo Lixian, who was wearing tight clothes and big leather boots, was standing next to Yin Jun, explaining to Yin Jun several actions of their special effects team later, and also asked Yin Jun how he wanted to shoot and from which angle. They are easy to cooperate with.

Huang Yuehuang, Ao Zijun, Gu Guohua and others were also standing behind. While listening to Luo Lixian and Yin Jun's discussion, they themselves were also thinking about how to take charge of the camera later.

As expected by Yin Jun, the three of them came over without any hesitation after receiving Yin Jun's invitation.

Since the salary given by Yin Jun was enough, Huang Yuehuang brought five assistants and apprentices, and Ao Zijun and Gu Guohua also brought three people. However, the apprentices and assistants could only serve as assistants, and they must be the ones doing the photography. .

At the beginning of "Speed ​​of Life and Death", the villain was modifying circuits in the elevator control room, met the security guard who came to check, and then stabbed him in the neck with a dagger.

However, this scene will not be filmed until it is moved to the studio, so the most important scenes today are the hero's appearance in a speeding car, and the other is the hero and his partner grabbing the iron hook from the hanging tower outside and entering the elevator shaft. scene.

In addition, there are some scenes with the police and staff outside the elevator, but these are not important, and even Yin Jun himself does not need to appear.

Generally speaking, the scenes shot today are far from intense and are just a warm-up at best.

The scene that starts tomorrow is the most important.

There are three paragraphs in "Speed ​​of Life and Death". In the first paragraph, an unsuccessful explosion blackmail leads to the contact between the villain and the protagonist; this is the first Xiao Gaochao.

The second one is the most important. The villain installed the bomb on the bus, which is where most of the drama takes place.

The third part is the death struggle of the villain, but the subway scene is the most thrilling, and will not make people feel disappointed at all after falling into a low ebb after a high dynasty.

If Yin Jun successfully filmed the first elevator rescue, then he would have a good experience in the second bus bombing journey and it should be much smoother.

Yin Jun was not in a hurry.

While communicating with Luo Lixian, he also communicated with the three photographers behind him to discuss the location of the camera.

In the crew, Yin Jun set the rules from the beginning. No matter who you are, you can speak freely and make suggestions, but how to decide is my director's business.

Yuan Kui had already gone to the highway to check the preparations there.

Naturally, Luo Lixian took part in the flying scene himself. After chatting with Yin Jun about the key points to pay attention to in the high-altitude aerial shots later, he took a few guys and turned around to go there.

The person responsible for photographing this scene was Huang Yuehuang, and even Yin Jun felt it was a waste when he saw it.

After they all left, all the interviews with the actors here were completed, and all the cast and crew entered the shooting area. Their faces that were smiling just now turned solemn in an instant.

As the male protagonist, Fei Xiang was even more nervous.

He was now with Eddie Murphy, wearing a special police camouflage uniform, a bulletproof vest, and a pair of high bull-head boots. Coupled with his short, refined hair and a thin, handsome face that had darkened due to training, He is indescribably handsome.

The male protagonist Keanu Reeves in his previous life was also a mixed race. In terms of temperament, the 20-year-old Fei Xiang is not as heroic as Keanu Reeves, more feminine, but after so long training, he has the temperament of a young boy. , has long since become very heroic, which fully meets Yin Jun's expectations of a male protagonist.

Standing with Fei Xiang, Eddie Murphy and the others were more than twenty people wearing the same SWAT uniforms.

These people are not actors, but real members of the Flying Tigers, the Sharpshooters.

Because of the popularity of "Brother Xin Zha", the image of the police has been greatly improved. The police department has recently established a public relations section to be responsible for contacting the relevant production crews.

For example, the recently popular "Sister Tuoqiang" received strong support from the public relations department and was even more professional than "Senior Brother Xinzha".

But now, like "Speed ​​of Life and Death", the Flying Tigers are directly dispatched to the stage, which has never happened before.

This is also due to Yin Jun's strong support for the police, a huge sponsorship of HK$500 million over five years. Although it was criticized by many newspapers as "flattery", for the police, the feeling is completely different. They are all grateful to Yin Jun.

Otherwise, no matter how rich you are, it would be impossible to send out active special police officers to accompany the filming.

Zeng Chang, who plays the villain, also walked over at this time and exchanged some plot details with Fei Xiang and Eddie Murphy.

Among the four leading actors, the one that Yin Jun doesn't have to worry about the most is Zeng Chang. He can definitely play the role better than the original villain Hopper, and he can also inspire other actors.

Speaking of other actors, the young man looked at Zhong Chuhong who was standing aside.

It has been almost two months since the last time Yin Jun met her. At that time, Zhong Chuhong was thinner than when he came back from the United States, and now he looks thinner again.

Although many people like skinny beauties, this definitely does not include Yin Jun. He likes women with a moderate figure. Too thin is not good at all.

Zhong Chuhong has not only lost weight, she is also a little haggard. If she hadn't put on makeup well, it might have been more obvious.

There is no scene for Zhong Chuhong today, but in order to cooperate with the launch and promotion, Zhong Chuhong still came to the set and will not leave until filming starts.

Looking at the highest point of Wave Street, which has been temporarily closed, on the other side of the street, the special effects actor did not wave the prepared flag. Yin Jun walked towards Zhong Chuhong, wanting to say hello to her.

Unexpectedly, Zhong Chuhong glanced at him, turned around and walked towards a group of extras, making it clear that he would not give Yin Jun a chance.

The young man felt a little embarrassed and stopped, feeling helpless.

Fortunately, Fatty Wen, who was not far behind him, was shrewd. When he saw the boss eating the turtle, he quickly shouted: "Master Jun, they are ready over there!"

"oh!"

Yin Jun then turned back and stood in front of his director's studio.

Huang Yuehuang was standing at the lower part of the n-shaped street. He carried a camera and aimed it at the higher point. Two assistants occupied other areas, and one of them stood in front of Yin Jun, also preparing to shoot from another angle.

His apprentice also sent a ready signal to the director's studio.

All the reporters had been cleared out at this time, and except for a few walk-ons walking on both sides, there were no outsiders around.

Looking over from Yin Jun, the sun was already shining high. At the highest point of the n-shaped street, the asphalt road was being burned by the sun, and a faint trace of smoke was floating, giving him an unreal feeling.

Feeling that everyone's eyes were focused on him, Yin Jun suddenly felt that his whole body was pulled away, as if he was high in the sky, clearly watching the scene in front of him.

This is the first movie I want to make!

The young man closed his eyes, took a deep breath, then tremblingly picked up the director's special speaker and waved it down with one hand.

"start!!"

Following Yin Jun's order, the assistant over there also stood at the highest point and waved the flag, and then quickly hid back in the corner.

Huang Yuehuang's camera was turned on at the same time and began to focus on the highest point.

"Whoosh..."

With the roar of the motor, a Mercedes-Benz jumped out. When it reached the highest point of the n-shaped road, it flew directly into the sky. It stayed in the air for almost three seconds before falling heavily to the ground.

At the same time, the car did not slow down and headed straight towards the building.

Done!

Yin Jun felt relieved just by looking at the flying car's airborne time and height.

The car stopped 30 meters away from the building, but Luo Lixian inside did not get out.

It wasn't until Huang Yuehuang handed the camera to the apprentice next to him and gave Yin Jun a thumbs up gesture. The two assistants here also made the same move, that the young man picked up the speaker and shouted: "Click!"

Luo Lixian waited for Huang Yuehing who came over, and the two of them arrived in front of Yin Jun.

When Yin Jun watched all the scenes captured by the three cameras and found that there were no mistakes or any cheating scenes, he gave Luo Lixian another thumbs up.

Immediately afterwards, Yin Jun greeted Fei Xiang and Eddie Murphy, who had been on standby, "You guys sit on the seat, follow the script, step back 20 meters, and then accelerate quickly and roughly to the door!"

"yes!"

Fei Xiang replied loudly.

It has been almost a year since Eddie Murphy came to Hong Kong. As a person who is very talented in acting and language, he can understand most Cantonese. This has added a lot of benefits to his communication with the actors in Hong Kong. .

As for communicating with Fei Xiang, there is no need to worry. Both of them are Americans. Don't they still speak English?

In fact, the dubbing of the two people in the English version will be done by themselves.

The two first put the equipment they were wearing back in the trunk of the car, and then got into the car.

Yin Jun, who had just taken the first successful shot and moved the entire stall to the side, stared at Huang Yuehuang and others with their cameras to record Fei Xiang driving to the gate of Daxia and stopping.

As a result, I never expected that in just 5 seconds, from a distance of only 30 meters, I was actually photographed 11 times in one breath.

Either Fei Xiang didn't drive wildly enough, or he didn't sprint far enough, or he overshot and almost didn't crash into the building.

Although Yin Jun could ask Luo Lixian to shoot the entire driving scene directly, but in order to skillfully and quickly equip his own lens after the next two people get off the car, Yin Jun decided to let them do it themselves.

Seeing Fei Xiang getting more and more panicked as he made more mistakes, Yin Jun could only let him rest for a while and asked Luo Lixian to point him out a few times. Only then did he grasp the key points and successfully complete the shot.

When I turned around and looked at the time, it was already 12 o'clock.

It took more than an hour to shoot two shots, which was really slow.

The young man who once had the experience of filming a TV series thought that he would be able to shoot the external scenes well in the morning, but now he has come to his senses.

I can make up stories, but when it comes to directing, I have no right to be proud or complacent!
