v2 Chapter 712： Capital and benefits

Time has finally entered into 2009, and there is still an unusually large crew on the plaster desert of New Mexico. In the uninhabited desert far away from the tourist area, Duke is busy shooting with thousands of people.

There are desert solitary smoke, car chasing gun battles, long-range sniping, melee combat, heavy metal rock and roll, saturation overflowing the screen tones, and perfect golden ratio composition.

But Duke knows very well that Fury Road is an orthodox hero movie.

During the shooting, he always kept this in mind.

For more than half a month, Duke continued filming, using imax cameras and various digital cameras to fully record the amazing action performances and drag racing scenes of the stuntman from all angles.

Today, the total number of shots taken by the crew has been close to one hundred and sixty hours, that is, one week of sleepless sleep to finish watching these things.

However, the shooting was only two-thirds completed.

In the desolate desert, the war machine stopped there quietly. Charlize Theron was wrapped in a dirty and shabby blanket and walked to the edge of the sand dune with her back to the crowd. She looked up into the distance, despite the loss in her eyes. Oasis was a little disappointed, but she was still very firm, just as she resolutely took the five births on this violent road.

Where is the future of this doomsday world? No one can make it clear.

Duke sits behind an imax camera and personally controls the shooting. His lens is aimed at Tom Cruise.

There is no doubt that Tom Cruise's actor Tom is a very taciturn person. He looked at Charlize Theron's tall and strong back, stood up and walked over.

This is also the scene with the most dialogue between the hero and the heroine in the script.

The imax camera slid slowly and turned to the front of Charlize Theron and Tom Cruise along the slide. Duke captured every expression on their faces through the lens.

The big microphone used for live recording was also slowly sent by the boom to directly above Charlize Theron and Tom Cruise.

"I've talked to others." Charlize Theron didn't look back at Tom Cruise, just said, "Now is the best opportunity to cross the desert. If we leave the truck here and ride the motorcycle If we set off fully loaded, we can drive at least one hundred and sixty days..."

She turned her head and looked at her hands on hips. The expressionless Tom Cruise said, "We have left one for you and filled it up."

Charlize retracted his gaze and looked at the ground, his voice still low. "You are very welcome to join us."

Tom Cruise still had the facial paralysis, he shook his head and refused, "No, no...I will go by myself."

Raising her head, Charlize Theron showed some disappointment on her face, but did not make any demands. She turned around and walked towards the place where the women were without hesitation.

"Do you know?" Tom Cruise said again, "Holding hope is a mistake in itself."

Hearing this, Charlize stopped and looked back. Tom Cruise also turned his head. The two of them collided and glanced at each other. Tom Cruise turned back and said, "If you can't change the status quo, you can only be defeated by reality."

Duke controlled the camera, gave them a close-up of their faces, then stood up, "cut! This one is over!"

Ranging from the crew to catch a breath. Duke shouted again, "Transition, take the next shot in fifteen minutes."

The next one is that the protagonist changes his mind and goes after the protagonist.

The previous shot was dark night. The next shot is daytime, which is very common in Hollywood crew shooting. Under non-essential conditions, Duke’s evening scenes are basically shot during the day, and then the background is adjusted through post-production.

The whole crew cooperated tacitly, and the fifteen minutes had just arrived. Duke called to start.

This is a close-up. Tom Cruise stands between the motorcycle and the war machine, looking at the dust from the motorcycle in the distance, and finally changes his mind.

Similarly, there won’t be any fantasy little girls here. In Duke’s hands, "Furious Road" is a completely **** film, and Tom Cruise’s character is a taciturn and struggling to survive. The character, and the conscience in his heart has not been completely wiped out.

After filming the scene where he catches up with Charlize Theron and others, the crew finally left the hellish desert and returned to the vicinity of the Devil’s Farm. Although this is also a wasteland, it is no different from a desert area. Like existence.

Almost all here are action scenes. Except for a few shots that need to be synthesized, most of the scenes require real shots. The stuntmen are performing juggling scenes every day. The scenes of collisions, car rollovers and explosions are endless, and there is no shortage of them. Someone was injured.

However, the safety protection of the crew is quite adequate, and the injured are almost always small injuries such as bumps and drags.

Charlize Theron also had an accident. When filming the scene where she climbed up the'Giga Horse' and killed the undead Joe, she accidentally fell off the car.

For this kind of scene, the car is of course stationary, and the ground is adequately protected, but the'Giga Horse' is a bit high. When Charlize Theron fell down, unfortunately, his knee fell on the cushion first. on.

If it's a normal person, it's okay, but Charlize Theron's knee was injured in the early years, and it was precisely because of this that she left the ballet school. She rolled down her forehead with pain and cold sweat.

Duke hurriedly sent her to the Santa Fe hospital. After careful examination, she was relieved that the situation was not serious.

The shooting time was tight, leaving someone to take care of Charlize Theron. Duke returned to the Devil’s Farm to continue his work and planned to adjust the remaining shooting plan. What he did not expect was that only two days later, Charlize ? Theron returned to the crew.

"I told you to rest."

Looking at Charlize sitting across from him, Duke's face was a little gloomy, "Don't forget, your leg was seriously injured in the early years."

"The film is going to participate in the Cannes Film Festival..." Charlize Theron didn't watch Duke at all, and turned to the shooting location directed by Anna Prinz, "I don't want to delay your plan because of my problem. Besides, All of my action scenes have been completed, and the rest of the literary scenes do not require leg effort."

Duke thought for a few seconds, then slowly nodded, "Pay attention to yourself."

After speaking, he stood up, took another look at Charlize Theron, strode towards the shooting location, and never looked back.

Charlize Theron sat in the chair, did not look back, just sighed softly.

She knew very well that with her and Duke's personalities, the past is the past, and it is impossible to return.

When she was young, she thought that fame and career were more important than anything else. For this reason, she did not care about other things. As she grew older, she gradually realized that career is important, but the things that have passed by are also important. .

Now that she had made the choice, Charlize Theron would not regret it, and she knew regret was useless.

After all, he was a man of firm will and iron heart.

Charlize Theron had watched Ivanka Trump coldly. From the very beginning, she was not optimistic about Duke and Ivanka Trump.

Although she hadn't seen it a few times, she had heard of Donald Trump's personality and saw him touch Duke's bottom line time and time again. With Duke's character and principles of doing things, how could it be tolerated without limits? There are also real-time sharing, which involves too many differences of interest...

After so many years of fighting in Hollywood, which has infinitely magnified the battle for fame and fortune, Charlize clearly sees that now that Duke has made many decisions, he must consider his interests. He represents not only himself, but also The benefit of an entire team.

As smart as Charlize, of course you can see that the problem between Duke and Ivanka Trump is actually the contradiction between two different capital groups about the struggle for interests. This contradiction cannot be resolved at all, unless One party is willing to give up.

But is it possible to let capital abandon the pursuit of interests?

Take a look at the actions that Duke did afterwards. The capital side was fully revealed. He exchanged his instant share of shares for Google shares. This is such a recognized successful transaction, and Google got instant After sharing the majority of voting shares, at the latest general meeting of shareholders, Ivanka Trump was removed from the position of chairman of the company without hesitation, and the control of instant sharing was completed.

If Duke couldn't see this when he sold his shares to Google, Charlize would believe nothing.

She has been paying attention to this matter. Because of the economic downturn, the Trump family’s real estate industry has encountered a serious crisis, Donald Trump has been collected by many creditors, and the entire group is facing a bankruptcy crisis. It is said that Ivan Carter Lampe is ready to sell the shares he shares immediately to save the entire Trump Organization.

Charlize Theron turned back and looked at Duke, who was sitting behind the director's monitor. Who can tell if he is behind these?

With her knowledge of Duke, he would never be just a spectator.

Dealing with the enemy harshly and ruthlessly, seizing every opportunity that can be seized, launching the deadliest attack, this has always been his style of behavior.

"Boom..."

A huge explosion sounded, and a modified car on the set was blown into the sky. Charlize did not respond. She had long been accustomed to working in this environment. When filming "The Matrix" and the back team, This explosion scene has been seen countless times.

Her gaze was retracted from the set, and she didn’t know what was going on. She suddenly thought of David Ellison. She heard Tina Fey talk about the new film that the other party and Spielberg collaborated with. Road" Frontal collision... (To be continued.)
