v2 Chapter 711： Various accidents

In the scene being filmed, the boss of Bullet Town, after being blinded by Ferrosa, swept wildly while carrying two guns, while exporting into a chapter.

The first two sentences are epic-like bold and graceful, "I am the scale of justice, the conductor of the death choir."

The last sentence is literally, "Roar, brother Koch!"

The Koch brothers are clearly his nickname for his two guns.

So who are the Koch brothers? They are the two contemporary American billionaires David Koch and Charles Koch. They are known for their active participation in politics, conservatives, and hawks. They are fanatical supporters of the Republican Party.

It is the election year in the United States. In the Republican elections right now, the Koch brothers claim to donate 500 million US dollars. Many people think they can influence the Republican nomination.

They are also regarded by the American left as war madmen, and the policies they support will lead to a world nuclear war.

Hollywood has never been far away from politics. Duke only wrote the framework of the script. When writing several screenwriters, he obviously brought some personal political views into it, which was also ignored by his director at the beginning.

After Duke found out, he immediately deleted these things. He didn't need to mock some political figures in the film.

Time is getting closer to Christmas, and shooting will not be smooth, and some factors are beyond Duke's control, such as the weather.

The climate of New Mexico is a typical desert climate, warm and dry, with plenty of sunshine and low humidity. Although some places have annual rainfall of 1,000 millimeters, this area where the gypsum desert is definitely not among them.

However, just a few days before Christmas, light rain arrived unexpectedly, and the patters continued to come. This is definitely not the climate that a wasteland world should have in water and rain. Duke simply paused the filming, but fortunately, the progress on the ground was slightly ahead of schedule, and it did not cause much delay.

Duke had some free time, and Sarah, the associate editor of the Los Angeles Times, came to the door and wanted to have an exclusive interview with this movie.

For publicity considerations, Duke did not refuse. Just in the light rain, I set up a few large sun umbrellas, watching the rare rain in the wasteland, and talking about this movie.

The raindrops hit the sun umbrella and made a slight noise. The weather was a little bit cooler. Sara tightened her jacket and opened the recorder.

"You didn't have any auditions for the hero and heroine of this film..." she asked first. "Why did you choose Tom Cruise and Charlize Theron?"

"I like to look for moments when sparks burst out of similar thoughts."

Duke paused for a moment to better organize his thoughts, "The kind of trembling that you can feel when the person walks into the room is a process of intuitive experience, just like when we meet a certain person. You have a kind of Intuition. Yes, they are the right people. When people fall in love, they will have that special feeling. Your body and your inner world always have an ideal type. When you meet someone, and this person Somehow it fits this ideal type. Choosing a cast is a similar process."

"As everyone knows, you discovered Charlize Theron." Sarah turned to the heroine. "She can always make some incredible performances in your productions. Her most brilliant roles appear in your films. In. Why is this?"

"I still remember the first time I met Sally."

For the need of publicity, Duke never minded talking, "We just met and talked. My first impression is that she is very smart, has a very quick thinking, and has a certain uneasy energy in her body. Sally is full of energy, Unpredictable and very interesting. It always reminds me of the experience of working with children. You always don’t know what that little guy will do next second. It’s amazing."

Sarah was very clever, and instead of digging deeper, she asked, "What are you most afraid of during shooting?"

"Disaster, unforeseen disaster."

Duke pointed to the raindrops on the outside of the umbrella and said, "For example, climate change, rain. We built everything, and the rehearsal started. We built the road for all the rehearsals, and it rained."

"We met very early. I have seen all of your films, and I have basically interviewed them on your set or premiere." Sarah held up the hot tea on the table, "Except for "Chicago", all your films It can all be attributed to the category of action movies. Do you have special feelings for action movies? Also, how do you grasp the action scenes of Fury Road and other movies?"

"For me, action movies are a special and higher form of film art."

Any kind of movie has its merits. Duke pondered a little and said, "When shooting action scenes, you can't think,'Oh, then we just smash a lot of things', you can't treat it like that. It. You have to try to create a very clear syntax, not just a violent collision."

Compared with the non-marginal words just now, what Duke said in answering this question is basically a real idea, "This is an era of rapid development, and photography technology is constantly changing with each passing day. Before, everything had to be shot in real time. Manipulate images as much as you want today."

"I still remember when we were shooting "Life and Death" and "Courage to Death Island", we shot as real as possible. Today, if necessary, we can shoot a lot of images, and then easily use computer technology to composite, and now Watching videos and action movies more than ten years ago, you will find that their rhythms are very slow. Our society as a whole is getting faster and faster, and I must also speed up the rhythm of Fury Road."

The rain not only temporarily suspended the crew, but also took away many reporters. After completing an interview with Duke, reporters including Sarah left New Mexico.

However, this light rain only lasted for more than a day. When the sun went up high again, the blazing sun only took a short time to dry the earth that was not so wet. Duke was able to start shooting again. .

Perhaps it was a day off to accumulate enough energy. After the filming restarted, the crew progressed smoothly, but Duke still emphasized a few points, especially for his art director Hannah Serena.

He mainly emphasized two points. One is to make the colors as rich as possible, distinguishing them from the dull and monotonous unsaturated colors of other apocalyptic themes; the other is to be as beautiful as possible in terms of art direction, because he believes that in the apocalyptic life , The survivors will look for everything that can bring some beauty.

"Furious Road" is like a trilogy of the Lord of the Rings, giving Hannah Serena a full use. She appropriately blends the set into the magnificent and magnificent environment and makes the whole world more composed. For a unified picture, a thousand miles of yellow sand and a thousand miles of blue sky, blue and yellow constitute the base color of the set.

This strong contrast effect of the primary colors echoes and switches, the dark blue filter-effect sky on the continuous sand dunes, the oppressive earth-colored rock wall fortresses, and the staggering black ghosts in the blue night sky curtain of the dead oasis, with a trace of blood. The faint yellow sandstorm, like the big color block composition of directly splashing a paint bucket, constantly implies the desolation of the wasteland world...

According to Duke’s idea, as long as the quality of his film is guaranteed, if Hannah Serena does not get the academic art direction award after the release, it can only be said that the academic school will throw away even the least fairness. Now, in the eyes of science fiction films and action films, there is naked and undisguised discrimination.

Of course, based on Duke's knowledge, he wouldn't be surprised that this happened.

The filming was nearly halfway, and one third of the modified cars had been blown to pieces in the hands of Jos Williams’s fireworks crew. Filming in the desert and wasteland was undoubtedly very hard. The crew members looked at each other for dozens of days. , When the wind is strong, the sand that is drilling around is almost collapsed.

There are also various animals in the desert. Although the crew has a special snake-driver, there are times when they cannot be taken care of.

Anna Prinz didn't know how to get into a lizard in her trailer. Fortunately, it was a non-toxic type. Even so, she didn't want to live alone anymore, and simply moved to Tina Fey's trailer.

As for the trouble caused by mosquito bites, it can only be said to be a minor trouble.

After all, this is a desert, not a Warner Studios with complete facilities. What Duke can do is complete the shooting as soon as possible and leave this hell-like desert.

Frankly speaking, he also dislikes such a climate.

Before filming "Independence Day" and "Transformers", Duke had been to the White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico, but the shooting at that time was no more than a week, and the military as a logistical support is far from what it is now.

There was an accident in the next shooting. Duke and John Schwarzman once again installed the imax camera on the front of the car to increase the visual impact of the lens, but the environment in the desert area was too complicated, and this vehicle was installed. The camera's modified car had an accident when it braked and crashed into Ferrosa's war machine.

Since the two modified cars were specially reinforced, the driving speed was not fast, neither the car nor the actors had any accidents, but the delicate and heavy imax camera was crashed.

The representative of the imax company stationed in the crew was almost crazy about this. There are not ten imax cameras in total, and the degree of preciousness can be imagined.

The crew must pay compensation, which is regarded as an unexpected expense, and according to Duke's requirements, two imax cameras must be used for cross-shooting, and the camera can only be transported to the New Mexico studio as soon as possible by imax.

Filming was suspended again. Due to the approaching Christmas, Duke simply gave the entire crew a holiday. After the Christmas holiday, the imax cameras were also delivered in place, and the crew once again assembled in New Mexico. (To be continued.)
