Chapter 469 "The Walking Dead" Premiere

Chicago, the town of Lokoff.

The two scenes in the morning were filmed quickly. The director was leading people to sort out the shooting equipment. The producer Garcia came over with a water glass and said, "The company called and said that "The Walking Dead" will be on the channel tonight. play."

The top frowned: "So fast? Well, you can see the feedback from the audience."

This show, his studio also has a share of the revenue, not much, only 5%.

But his salary for directing the filming is calculated separately, as are the behind-the-scenes team he leads.

If the results meet expectations, no one will be dissatisfied.

After all, as a director, he is not pedantic.

It's just that his unique aesthetic has made many production companies unacceptable, thinking that there is not much marketability, and the risk of investment and return is not proportional.

Garcia sat down beside the top and handed him the water glass, "I suggest that the crew can take a half-day vacation, and postpone the afternoon scenes until tomorrow, so that everyone can go back and watch the episodes, and they will have more motivation for the next filming. ."

"Well, let's shoot again tomorrow. Anyway, we are still ahead of the schedule." Top took a sip of water and nodded.

The crew ate lunch hastily, and the spinning top announced the news to the crew.

And which of the main creators of the crew is not looking forward to their own works?

Half past seven in the evening.

British actor Andrew Lincoln, who has no permanent residence in the United States, was in a hotel and locked the channel for the show.

His mood was a little uneasy, a little nervous, but more anticipation.

After all, this is his first TV series as a male protagonist, and the quality of his performance is really related to his future development in the circle.

It was this mood mixed with various emotions that made him lean on the sofa and keep his eyes on the TV for a moment.

Even if there is still more than half an hour before the broadcast.

Time passed by minute by minute.

Suddenly, there was a muffled background music on the TV, and a few pictures flashed through, forming the title of "The Walking Dead".

The sound of the music fades away. At the beginning, it is the familiar logo of the chemical factory in the movie, similar to the three small pages of the fan, and then the camera pans all the way, and it is faintly visible that many roads are destroyed and the city is ruined.

The screen went dark.

The linkage with the movie is over, and what follows is a brand new story——

In the small town, Rick (played by Andrew Lincoln), who is wearing a police uniform, received a call from the police station and asked to rush to a certain street to carry out the order to cooperate with the search.

Unexpectedly, the arrested black guy not only sold drugs, but also carried firearms with him.

In the rush of the incident, during the firefight, Rick was unconscious because of a bullet in his left arm.

Then he was sent to the community hospital in the town. After falling into a coma, he woke up again, but felt that the world was suddenly strange.

In front of me were all the ruined scenes-cars parked indiscriminately, various items scattered all over the floor, chaotic streets, no familiar town residents, as if they were looted or escaped.

He just said that when he woke up, the community clinic didn't even have a medical staff, and of course he felt something was wrong.

As we walked, something even worse came.

In a lifeless street, suddenly, Rick heard some kind of biting sound.

He turned his head, then lay on the ground and looked under a car.

He saw the feet of a little girl who was walking and picked up a teddy bear doll.

He dared to get up quickly and shout, "Little girl?"

But the little girl seemed to ignore Rick without hearing it.

He had to walk quickly towards the little girl and shout, "I'm a policeman. Little girl?"

This time, the little girl with her back to Rick stopped.

"Don't be afraid, I'm a cop," Rick repeated.

The little girl finally turned around.

She murmured something, her eyes were dull, but slowly, her expression suddenly became hideous, her teeth grinned, and she was extremely fierce.

This sudden change made Rick subconsciously pull out the pistol.

Rick was right.

The little girl rushed towards this side in an extremely uncoordinated posture, like a beast.

Rick was terrified and aimed the pistol at the little girl.

"boom!"

Gunshots rang out and the threat was lifted.

I saw that there was a hole in the little girl's forehead among the blood on the road.

...

The benefits of choosing to play HBO are perfectly reflected.

This scene has a different kind of beauty of catharsis, and a lot of close-up shots, allowing the audience to quickly enter this zombie world where the order is collapsing.

Then, the screen turns.

Jumping to the two policemen chatting in the police car, one of them is Rick who just killed the little girl who had been infected with the zombie virus. He asked his partner, "What is the difference between men and women?"

The other next to him is Sean, a small town policeman played by Joe Bothern.

He had that look on his face that wasn't teasing me.

But Rick said, "Seriously, what's the difference?" He asked seriously.

Sean thought for a while before answering, "I've never seen a woman who knows how to turn on the light. They are born with the ability to turn on the light, never turn it off."

This so-called light-switching answer is a more American metaphor, similar to Sean's belief that women only create problems, but don't know how to solve them.

In general, the topics between men rarely fail to talk about women, either complaining, or praising, or longing for, or always licking a dog...

But obviously, Sean's character created by this sentence is biased against women.

He also doesn't care to expose that bias.

The setting of this kind of role is more typical of American men, who are very playful, have countless girlfriends, don't have any sense of responsibility for the family, and have discrimination that has been etched into their bones since childhood.

And Sean's role is also to foil the existence of the image of the protagonist Rick.

The two continued to talk about the topic, and suddenly the words came over the radio, "All free units, all free units, there is a resistance to arrest on Second Avenue in the southeast of Lincoln County, the gang committed the crime, please come to the scene for reinforcements. Attention, GTAAD records, west of 217234, High alert is required..."

It seems to be back to the beginning, but the difference is the introduction of the reason why Rick would be involved in the action alone.

Because the crime was committed by a gang, the police force was scattered.

And just as they set off for support, the camera turned, and two crows were eating the body of a stray dog...

This kind of shot has the same meaning as the mutated deer at the beginning of "Ride to New York". The second half is a flashback to the first half, and it is also a hint of an early nature to the subsequent encounter, indicating that bad things have begun to break out... …

Fans who have seen "Tour to New York" are excited, and this ubiquitous same technique will make people feel inexplicably familiar.

But bad thing, the first episode is over...
