Chapter 1165： Warner's old problem

"Everyone, be quiet. It's about to be turned on. Lighting, camera, props are prepared, actors are admitted, and field affairs are prepared. All units listen to my password."

Ryan shouted with a horn.

Every time he called for a unit, the relevant person in charge answered one by one, and as each department completed the preparations, several group actors who were temporarily recruited to play smugglers became a little nervous.

aside.

Sitting behind the monitor, Lyman first observed that there was no mistake in the composition of the picture through the lenses of the two cameras, and then ordered, "Play the board."

The field recorder heard the order and walked to the main camera to take pictures.

"—"

Thomas carried the No. 2 camera and stood behind several group performers, and came to a medium shot first, filming the scene where they partnered to remove the stitches on the luxury car and re-replace the license plate.

Immediately following one of the group performers, he opened the trunk to see if the wealthy businessman had left something in the car, and found Cage that he had hidden in advance.

"Suffocated, suffocated." He covered his crotch when he got out of the car, "Why are you so ink-stained, you are so careful to steal a car in an unmonitored place, making me wait for most of the day."

After he finished speaking, he patted the technician who smuggled luxury cars on the shoulder, "Hey, brother, where is the toilet in your warehouse?"

"Is it the police?!"

A younger brother saw a pistol near the waistband of Cage's trousers with sharp eyes, and prepared to run away in a panic.

In this scene, watching a scene where a policeman got out of the trunk, several group actors played the state of panic and panic in a decent manner.

Then, it's play.

The police shot forward, and several converted smugglers dared not run away. As a result, a man tried to attack the team from behind while he was peeing on the phone, but was knocked down by Cage twice, and the others were hot and followed. , and eventually all were put down by fancy.

The whole scene highlights the common jiu-jitsu in the previous Hong Kong films and the current Hollywood action films mixed with close combat and Uncle Long's sense that everything is a weapon when he touches it. Although it is troublesome to shoot one by one action sets , After all, Cage is not a professional martial arts actor, but in the end it will be cut into the feature film, and the effect will be good.

Wu Xiaozu was sitting in the chair, and this feeling was present in his mind——

Not bad, the protagonist's initial character characterization is standing up.

He is not stingy, doesn't talk about "rules", and doesn't talk about martial arts. His brains turn faster than those police officers who strictly abide by the police rules, and they are more thieves than thieves.

At least, the thief will not arrange such a round of fishing.

After the incident, Cage's unreliable colleagues and team members came over to finish.

Seeing such a "tragic" arrest at the scene, a young man asked, "This... seems to be a violation of the rules. Will they complain that our police officers are too heavy?"

"Come on, senior will teach you a trick."

Cage indifferently smeared the blood of several smugglers on his face, then picked up a steel pipe and shoved it to the other one who was still crying, "They attacked the police and beat me to blood, and I was forced to shoot. , choose to let them lie down, everything makes sense."

Just when the young man felt that he had learned a trick, someone shouted:

"team leader."

The captain of the police force played by Jeremy Piven walked in gracefully, and did not look at the prisoners lying on the ground, but just greeted Cage, "Are you all done? You won't get a lawsuit?"

"I know." Cage replied.

In a simple scene, the ecology of the police force is also depicted.

Of course, being ruthless to prisoners is not necessarily evil, and looking at Wen Shan does not necessarily mean that you will not do bad things. Just like a prison guard said in an interview: People who make copper and seduce **** are generally seen as honest, and there is a kind of thing that can make A person's relaxed vigilance.

Therefore, crime is related to psychology and behavior, not appearance. Human nature is inherently confusing and difficult to distinguish.

And seeing a few people with glasses who rely on technology to "make a living" are stuffed into a police car, and the people who beat them by force are squatting aside and eating Burger King brought by a colleague, a dark humorous style of moving mirrors. Out.

There are quite a lot of places in "Veteran" that can make people laugh. The rhythm of this play is relaxed and moderate, not all of which are supported by the cool point of "fighting the rich second generation".

Several characters are quite three-dimensional.

In the next few shots, Thomas followed the camera with the camera, and everything was smooth.

Action films rarely use slide rails to arrange the angle and direction in advance, because the movement of the lens in this type of film cannot be too smooth, there must be some sense of hierarchy and movement, while the slide rail is strong and stable, there is no undulating rhythm, and the image is on the screen. On the contrary, it will appear very rigid.

Those who have watched more movies will know that the shots of action scenes often shake slightly, and the pictures are more lively and more in line with the laws of motion.

"cut."

Another shot ends.

Lyman waved and shouted, "Is there a problem with the radio?"

"no."

Getting a positive answer, Lehmann picked up the Apple 4s to check the time-on October 4th, the fifth-generation ihone 4s was released. As he has long been accustomed to smartphones, he changed it immediately.

"It's 5 o'clock, it's time to pack up and get off work."

"Who, remember to find two people to guard the warehouse you rented."

"No problem, Director."

An unfamiliar one answered from a field manager from an economic company.

...

The next day, the crew started filming the scene of a police friend, which was the scene where the second generation of rich teased him to death in order to recover the arrears of the construction site workers.

Thomas holds a camera, and the lens follows Michael Pena—this is a Mexican-American actor who often plays labor or low-level people. Mainly, he looks very ordinary, and he can act ordinary. Among Latinos, the acting experience is deeper.

"cut."

...

The days of the crew are so full, and a week has passed in a blink of an eye.

One day at noon, the crew was having dinner, and Ryan suddenly came over happily.

"Something good happened." Lyman laughed at him

"Yeah, something happened to dc again, and their Green Lantern project was basically announced. Hahaha." Ryan smiled rather gloating, "It's not good to learn anything, learn Sony to play the trilogy."

"Uh..." Although Laiman knew about this in his previous life, he still sounded interested at this time, especially since he plunged into filming some time ago and has not paid attention to the new news in the film market for a long time, "Is there a newspaper? "

"On my desk."

Lehman followed him to the shade, picked it up, and saw the title was: dc masterpiece, 52.96 million in the first weekend?

'Last weekend, the dc movie "Green Lantern", which was highly anticipated by fans and dived many times from 2009 to 2011, landed in theaters on a large scale, but the results were very sluggish. Including the midnight show, the film was released in 3,816 theaters over the weekend. The three-day accumulation was only 52.96 million.

According to sources, the result is not even the minimum amount Warner expected to open.

As the first part of the originally planned trilogy, "Green Lantern" spent one-third of the time explaining the world view, and then spent one-third of the time making the protagonist understand, accept, and integrate from an ordinary earthling to The lineup background of the green light was finally left to create a dramatic conflict and meet the ** battle for less than 30 minutes (does it taste like "Wonder Woman 1984"), many audiences complained and looked forward to it for a long time, but the battle department was completely confused , the villain also portrayed extremely naive...

Under such a bad start and word of mouth, it is still unclear whether Warners will maintain the previous trilogy plan. ’

"5.7 points? It's too miserableCatwoman" score is not so low."

After roughly scanning the relevant reports, Lehmann saw the imd score reprinted by the newspaper, and also said.

"No way, this project has been warmed up for too long, and it has been covered for too long. DC fans are hooked, so they go to the theater to support them, but the plot makes them uncomfortable and their mood is definitely worse. There is a venting score. Besides, the timing of its release is not good." Ryan analyzed: "Marvel's movie universe is so successful, it has become the third box office in history, and Sony's "The Amazing Spider-Man" also broke the news that To set up the project, plus Fox's mutants are also making steady progress, and as a result, the green light that has been hyped for so long has been pulled so far, there is no reason for DC fans not to be angry."

"Of course, it's a good thing for us, and the audience is picky about superhero movies, it's more and more that we're good at making them."

"That feels like Warners has to work **** PR again, and they won't give up dc."

as predicted.

In the next few days, although Warner's public relations department did not completely reject word-of-mouth pressure, it also led the news at all costs. They contacted TV stations, contacted a large number of media, and used Nolan's third Batman as a topic to start diverting people's attention. Notice.

"But the problem comes again. The higher the final chapter of Nolan's Batman is lifted, the fans will also raise their expectations and become more critical."

Ryan watched Warner's one-pass operation and felt that they had been pressed.

"If you don't work hard to suppress the negative impact of "Green Lantern", let alone Batman, even dc's other development plans will be damaged."

In their spare time, the two have also been paying attention to the trend of this matter. "So, instead of worrying about the quality of the follow-up being not up to standard, of course, it is more important to pass the current hurdle first."

"Too."
