Duke shot all the hot fighting scenes himself, and some literary scenes and scenes such as fighter plane takeoff were handed over to Anna Prinz. According to the planned plan, the filming period of the film was only 80 days, and no time could be delayed.

Fortunately, Anna Prinz is not a novice either. When Duke led the crew to film at the White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico, the crew she led had already flew to the Pentagon to film several literary scenes there.

On the shooting venue designated by the White Sand Missile Range for the crew, a dilapidated Middle Eastern style village had long been built. Channing Tatum and other actors who played special forces have become more powerful after a certain period of training. At least from the outside, they look very much like soldiers.

Dozens of trailers were parked far enough on the periphery, and the military also set up a cordon around the village. The explosion scenes shot by Duke were not just blown up with soft **. The shooting here would use a lot of military **.

This is the Baisha missile range, and he can also let go of it.

"Jos! Jos!"

Standing on a high platform in the village, Duke shouted a few times with a loudspeaker, waiting for Jos William to trot up the platform, and he said, "Remember to communicate with the actors, don't have any accidents."

"There is someone doing it." Jos William gave Duke a reassuring look.

Duke looked at Channing Tatum and others who were tidying up their equipment not far away and nodded, "I hope they won't be frightened."

The explosion this time is a bit large, and members of his team have long been used to working in this environment. Even if these actors have experienced a period of military training, it is hard to say whether they will panic at that time.

However, Duke is not worried that the actors who play special forces will be scared out of fear. Facing a powerful unknown creature, especially the Sack Giant type, it is normal for someone to be scared out of fear. Special forces are very powerful, but they are not out of the scope of human beings. Just as shown in "Saving Private Ryan", the soldiers on the battlefield are always diverse, and they will not be all the same kind of people who shout slogans and are not afraid of death.

The actors here will have some uncertainty in their performances, but the actors are also scattered. In addition to panoramic shots, the close-ups given to them will be shot separately by the photographer. Editing this magical film technique can also remove many scenes that Duke doesn't want to see.

"Joss, have you seen the tallest earthen building in the distance?"

Duke pointed to the southeast corner of the village. It was the farthest place from the Sack Giant and the U.S. military fighting. "Blow it up, I want the dust and smoke from it to rush into the sky two hundred feet high."

Jos William looked closely for a while and said, "No problem, leave it to me."

When Jos William left, Duke called John Schwartzman again and asked him to arrange a shooting of the explosion with a helicopter.

Since **, Duke hasn't exploded like this for a long time.

After getting off the platform, bypassing two cage carts for shooting. Duke found actors such as Channing Tatum.

"Channing..."

He waved to the other side, Channing Tatum and others immediately ran over, "Director?"

"The explosion scene may be a bit large," Duke reminded, "must follow the set route. Also, you must control your emotions. If you really can't control it, I will allow you to be deserters."

Channing Tatum and others looked at each other, their faces a little embarrassed. Even in the movie, no one wanted to be a deserter.

"Director. We..."

Duke patted Channing Tatum on the shoulder and said, "Just do your job well, don't worry about other aspects."

After instructing the actor, Duke came to the front of the village, and the model of Sack Giant had been shipped over and would be blown up by the crew.

This will be the first Decepticon to be wiped out by the US military.

In the movie that was once, the imbalance between the Decepticon and humans was an obvious problem. Although the attack on the US military's positions at the beginning was a factor of sneak attacks. The US military is also famous for not being good at dealing with sneak attacks, but the combat effectiveness shown between the Decepticon and the US military later was a bit too exaggerated compared to the opening scene.

As Duke said, Transformers are powerful, but not invincible, so he changed the beginning of the film, and attacked the US military base in Qatar, not only attacks, but also shocking thunder and turbulent misfortune.

In addition, Sakh Giant is no longer an affiliate of the attack, but becomes a separate combat unit like the original animation, and his strength will be further strengthened and a raid will be launched from the underground.

The four great King Kongs launched attacks from the air, the ground and the underground, with a full-scale three-dimensional strike, thus killing a US military base.

The crew received tens of millions of dollars in military sponsorship on the Pentagon. Duke would definitely consider the image of the military. On the open desert, more than a dozen fighter jets and several gunboat aircraft were dispatched at the same time, using the most advanced weapons, especially armor-piercing bombs and other equipment, even the Decepticons could not bear it.

The Sack Giant will be torn to pieces by a violent blow from the air.

This setting is not only for the sake of balancing combat effectiveness, but Duke is also considering the entire series. Although Optimus Prime is the absolute protagonist, it is impossible for humans to just play soy sauce. After all, it is humans who watch the movie, not Transformers.

Back as his director, Duke waited patiently. The huge set was not so easy to arrange, and there was only one chance to shoot, and this part of the buildings would turn into ruins in the fierce artillery fire of the Sack Giant.

"The crew is ready..."

"The prop group is ready..."

"The actor is ready..."

"The fireworks team is ready..."

The assistant director sent messages to Duke. After receiving the news that all departments had prepared, he raised the loudspeaker.

"start!"

With Duke's order, the originally quiet set immediately turned into a noisy battlefield, with gunfire and explosions constantly ringing.

Duke has stood behind the director's monitor. What he mainly observed is the explosion shots and the scenes of Channing Tatum and another black actor. It doesn't matter how many other people's scenes are. If they perform poorly, just cut them off.

A huge explosion suddenly sounded on the left hand side. The tallest earth building in the village seemed to be hit by a cruise missile. Countless smoke rose into the air, jumping into the sky hundreds of feet high, and then collapsed with a bang.

The carefully calculated explosion will not affect the set, but some dust still floats over.

Duke shouted to stop at the right time, and waited until the dust was gone, cleaned up the set again, and started shooting again.

The military cooperation was just right. After more than ten minutes, several batches of fighter jets passed through the battlefield from low altitude. Although it was impossible to launch any missiles, it was enough for shooting. Other effects could be added in post-production.

Perhaps because of enough military training, the actors' performance is not very good, but it is enough for a film like "Transformers". Although the panic on Channing Tatum's face cannot be concealed at all, it has nothing to do with the overall situation.

In post-production, just cut this lens off.

The shooting ended. In addition to a few houses used to set up cameras, nearly half of the small village has been turned into ruins. Channing Tatum's team also "dead" several people...

"No reshoot is needed, right?"

On the platform where Duke is located, Tina Fee walked up wearing a big mask, looked at the video of the playing surveillance camera and asked, "The military has called me. If a reshoot is needed, they can take off the second batch of fighter jets."

Looking at the footage played by the monitor, Duke did not answer immediately. Instead, after watching the footage taken by each camera, he said to Tina Fei, "No need, you will hang up the Pentagon in person later, and I said that the crew and I are very grateful for the support of the military."

Military support can save the crew tens of millions of dollars in shooting funds, which can be transferred to post-production, resulting in better special effects.

Tina Fei looked down the stairs in a blink of an eye and reminded Duke, "Channing Tatum is here."

Turn off the monitor, Duke turned around, Channing Tatum had already come over, he raised his hand to say hello to Duke, and said, "Director Rosenberg, all my scenes here are over. If the crew has no plans to add filming, I plan to leave the White Sand Missile Range this afternoon."

Duke thought for a moment and said, "Yes."

Channing Tatum said a few more words of politeness, turned around and said goodbye and left.

"He should be reporting to Sony Columbia."

As a producer, Tina Fe seems to be very familiar with the situation, "Another Hasbro's toy series is also filming movies."

"Joe Special Forces?" Duke asked, turning his head.

"Well, it's the special forces."

If we really want to talk about the reputation of toys in North America, the special forces are even bigger than the Transformers series, Tina Fee said, "If my news is correct, Channing Tatum will be the leading actor, and he will play Duke."

"Duke?"

In fact, this series is also very suitable for adaptation into a movie. Especially today, terrorism has not only not disappeared, but is still spreading. It’s just that Duke took action a little late and did not get the adaptation rights. The sequel to this series was once difficult to produce. The main reason was not the popularity of the special forces, but the director’s problem.

Stephen Somos' copyright is quite good and has also made a good start for this series, but the sequel directed by the director who took over is really uncommon.

"Duke, there's something else." Tina Fee reminded again, "You have to go back to Los Angeles to attend the premiere of "Robot Walli"." (To be continued.)
