Chapter 73: Clever opening, cool to the core
Warner felt that "The Matrix" returned to the United States to start filming, and a new launch conference should be held. In line with the east wind of the awards season, the film attracted more attention. Chen Tian refused Warner's proposal and did not invite and notify any media because he believed that there was no need.
He believes that no matter how good the promotion of this movie is, it cannot retain popularity before it is completed. It is better to start to make efforts when the film is halfway through or about to be completed. On the one hand, it will not increase the psychological pressure of the main creators of the film, and on the other hand, it will also leave him enough time to arrange publicity and planning.
Because Chen Tian had to shaved his head in the spaceship, he took the lead in shooting the scenes in the "maternal body", that is, in the New York Metropolis. During this period, many people also saw the huge spaceship props prepared by Matrix Digital Special Effects Company, as well as a variety of mechanical squids with unique shapes, and huge gun library props, which were all very surprised.
But this part of the shot still needs to be shot. The first day of resuming work is to shoot a night scene - chasing in the rain, which is also a plot that is not found in the original work. This part of the shot needs to be shot in real scenes and blue screens.
There are more and more scenes such as scenes, blue screens, models, digital skylight paintings. In order to meet the requirements of pinching, actors need to shoot in the studio of blue screens, because in the studio of blue screens, there is no scene, it depends entirely on the actor's imagination, and the emotional actions performed are also required to match the scenes in the composite picture. This is undoubtedly a challenge to the actor's experience and performance skills.
Moreover, the requirements for lighting and props are different from those for traditional shooting: lighting personnel should combine the background light to be synthesized, environmental changes include wind, rain, thunder and lightning, design the lighting in the studio, and some parts of the props will be hidden in the blue cloth, and they also need to be seamlessly combined with the props to be synthesized during production.
The requirements for the face-up scene and prop staff are not just to make some physical models, but to draw the required scenes and props in the computer for later synthesis. After the preliminary work is completed, the post-synthesis process is completely used to completely use computer technology. The original special effects methods such as shading and overlapping are replaced by certain functions of computer software.
Since the coordinator had announced the content to the actors today, Chen Tian was happy and just brought the main actors of the scene together to briefly introduce them to the roles and precautions they were starring.
"Master Eighth Master, check the Wia again, clear the props and prepare to start shooting in three minutes." Chen Tiandu shouted with a loudspeaker.
Then he walked to the photographer Eyman**-Lubezki and told him, "After a while, Kate jumped down from the sky, you can focus on the moment when she jumped off and the camera looking up when she landed on the ground. It's clever, do you understand what I mean?"
Aiman made an OK gesture.
Chen Tiandu nodded and looked at Kate who was making the final preparations, "Kate, how about it?"
"Wait, do I need to roll when I land?" Kate asked quickly.
"No, just bend your knees slightly. You can do whatever you want. Remember that you are cool."
"OK, I'm very cool." Kate took a deep breath, held the gun in both hands, and half squatted in the sky. He was wearing a black tight leather cloak half-dragged on the ground and half-hanging in the air, and was simply the incarnation of the goddess of night. Many young men could no longer move their eyes.
Chen Tian smiled and made a gesture.
The scene record immediately shouted loudly: "The first scene of chasing in the rain, action!"
On a rainy night, lightning and thunder were heard. Kate, who had a short hair in the middle of the camera, carried a pistol in one hand and a telescope in the other, overlooking the building and heading towards the hurried pedestrians, with infinite call headsets hanging on his ears.
Under normal editing of the video, the audience will see Kate monitoring the movement in front of the ATM in a corner of the street. Neo, played by Chen Tiandu, is there, sneakily using hacking technology to steal the remaining money from a bank card.
Trinity: "Is everything normal? I feel an unusual breath."
The observer behind the scenes, "It's not your turn to interfere in my work."
Trinity: "That's right, but I always want to come to work."
"You're in love with him, want to protect him?"
"Don't talk nonsense, my mission is to find him, and Morpheus thinks he is the savior."
"Where are you, you think so."
“My opinion doesn’t matter.”
"You want to say, don't you think so?"
"She~~" A sudden noise made Kate feel uneasy, "Did you hear it? Do you dare to guarantee that no one was stolen from this line?" "Of course, can you guarantee, what's wrong?"
Then, the camera slightly moved, and you will see that several streets near the ATM were rarely visited, and there were already ambushing a circle of police officers around. The lights of ten police cars kept flashing in the dark, but did not make a sound.
"Oh no, there are a lot of policemen nearby and computer people exist. The only explanation he shouldn't have attracted the attention of computer people is that we are being monitored."
"Boom~~" A thunder and lightning roared. Just as the police were about to take action, Kate suddenly jumped down from a high-altitude building. The cloak rose with the wind and landed steadily on the ground. Then he walked away. There was no pedestrian nearby who did not even react.
"Cut." Chen Tiandu shouted.
Aiman, who was operating the camera on the robotic arm in the distance, waved his fist at him, indicating that he had taken a good shot. Chen Tian smiled, raised a thumbs up, then stood up and clapped his hands, shouting: "Kate, this shot is very good, it's passed at once. We are going to transfer our destination and go to the outdoor site to shoot the next shot."
"Is this done? This is a set of long shots. Don't you need to reshoot a few more times to capture details from different angles?" A different voice suddenly came from behind. Chen Tian turned his head and saw that it was Spielberg.
"I think it's enough, and I don't need more shots, it's all a waste."
Spielberg looked at him seriously and said, "Okay, just be sure of you." Perhaps this is what Carsonberg said before, Chen Tiandu's shooting method. The first time he saw him, it was indeed a bit sloppy, and people who were not clear about it really couldn't accept it.
Seeing that Spielberg had no other opinions, Chen Tian nodded, turned to Yuan Heping, and said, "Master Eighth Master, next is a subway chase. It is not easy to find this subway for shooting. We only have three hours to use, and we must evacuate before dawn. Have the actors remembered the actions of the actors?"
Yuan Heping nodded and said, "You are the director. Please tell me if you have any instructions. My team has trained them for several days. Only those actions are not very complicated. I think there is no problem, and you can start filming at any time."
"Well, it's reassuring for Eight Master."
"It's better to pack more cigarettes than to get affordable."
Chen Tiandu smiled and said, "Smoking is not allowed in the crew, so I'll treat you to a drink after the end."
He respects Yuan Heping very much. Even if he looks at the world, this is one of the best action directors. Moreover, he was not born in a professional class, but he has completely developed skills in a movie, which is even more commendable.
The position was transferred to the outdoor location, and the time was stuck when the subway was closed. Peck was already waiting there, and the staff immediately took their seats and arranged them.
The filming starts again, starting with Chen Tiandu's scenes.
He was using a card to paste a few metal-piece bank cards connected to metal wires into the ATM, and then quickly pressed the keyboard with one hand, and did it, and green bills began to float out of the ATM. Chen Tian looked around quickly and revealed the affection of an illegal element. At this moment, a line of subtitles suddenly popped up on his computer, and a green letter came into his eyes in a jumping way, "Neo, go quickly, the police are here."
"What?" Neo's despise changed. He didn't know who had blacked his computer at this time to remind him. But he couldn't think too much about it. He quickly put the banknotes into his backpack, threw them on his shoulders and crawled into the crowd.
The sirens suddenly roared, and a dozen gun-armed police officers came from somewhere and rushed towards Chen Tiandu. Neo was startled, stunned, and made a humorous and funny expression, "I just stole a few thousand yuan, there is no need to make such a fuss."
Then he pushed a few dazed crowds away, rushed into the subway.
This is the version of Neo of Chen Tiandu, a hacker who doesn't have such a dull personality. Sometimes he will be a little out of the blue. When the audience sees it, they will feel that he is more in line with the image of a popular young man nowadays and has a more introverted sense.
After a series of running, when he was almost caught, he encountered a handsome "double gun" Trinity in the subway station and fled into the subway. More than a dozen police officers chased in. Then there was a series of fierce subway gunfire battles. Trinity made a difficult move that made Neo incredible. While dodging bullets, he easily solved more than a dozen police officers.
"Cool!" Chen Tiandu's version of Neo fist excitedly and jumped up in embarrassment, "Who are you, why should you save me?"
"Triniti."
Neo was stunned, "Hacker Trinity? The one who paralyzed the National Taxation Administration database?"
"That's been a long time ago."
"Oh my God." Chen Tiandu slapped his forehead.
"What's wrong?"
"I thought you were a man, but I didn't expect... I didn't expect..." He looked up and down at the beauty of a double-gun dressed in a tight-fitting black leather jacket.
"A common problem with people like you."
"You just now had my computer hacked? How did you do it? And why did you know my name."
"I know a lot, I know everything about you, I know why you can't sleep, and why you sleep alone, do you think this world is a bit illusory? Now I can only tell you one thing, your situation is very dangerous. I must remind you that they are monitoring you, Neo..." As he was speaking, a computer person arrived on the ground.
