In Hollywood-style hero movies, big action scenes no longer simply have the iconic meaning of commercial blockbusters, but also have the special function of upgrading violent aesthetics. Panoramic scene descriptions and exquisite action portrayals, coupled with the texture of the IMA picture, and a fully immersive movie viewing experience, are all inevitable pursuits when Duke was filming and producing.

In order to pursue a real movie viewing experience, Duke did not hand over all the big scenes to the special effects after the finals, and many action scenes will also be shot in real ways.

Except for special effects scenes, Duke generally does not personally make storyboards for each scene, but in those action scenes, each storyboard and preview animation is made.

In terms of special effects, Duke never rejects gi computer technology, and will not adhere to the so-called concept that physical implementation can surpass everything. However, he is also very clear that it is always good to shoot as much real-life materials as possible. Even if G technology is used for synthesis and improvement in the later stage, it can achieve better results.

When he arrived in Los Angeles, Duke led the crew to the Raiders' Lauder Stadium and summoned nearly 20,000 fans as extras. A large number of actors were needed here, a complete stunt stand-in team and a live explosion team.

Here is a scene born in an American football stadium. The Gotham Rogues were playing at that time. Bain activated the bombs located in various parts of Gotham City, and several of them were placed under the stadium. After the gunpowder detonated, the stadium and many players were involved in a huge hole.

The shooting is naturally an IMA camera, but the scale of the explosion is extremely limited, and the stadium will not collapse. All explosion effects basically depend on later synthesis. The visual effects artists of Industrial Light and Magic also created the prospect elements of the fallen stadium with G. After Duke's shooting, it will enhance Joss William's fireworks effect and increase the terrified audience from nearly 20,000 to over 80,000.

While Duke was busy filming, Warner Bros.'s publicity on the rise of the Dark Knights has never relaxed.

"Harvey Dante may have died in the Dark Knight but is not like the Joker. His name will continue to appear in the Dark Knight Rises"

There are always news about the rise of the Dark Knight on the Internet and the media.

Fans who have been following the Internet soon found some new news on the official website of the Dark Knight Rises and other popular websites. A press release from Gotham Mayor Anthony Garciabu.

“This morning, Mayor Anthony Garcia signed the ‘Operation Dante’ bill. The city council unanimously passed legislation to improve the city’s crackdown on organized crime. One of the main purposes of the creation of this operation is to punish crime more severely, including criminals who play a major role in a part of the large criminal group will refuse to be released on parole, which will fill loopholes in the law created previously so that cities do not have to be troubled by organized crime as they did before.”

There was also a speech by Gotham Mayor Anthony Garcia.

"The name Harvey Dante is a true hero. He used his courage to deal with the streets ruled by the Criminal Empire and saved our city, and we should commemorate the sacrifices he made."

“15 minutes ago, I signed a bill and named the ‘Operation Dante’ Act to make up for the departure of Harvey Dante. This legislation is authorized to Chief Jim Gordon as the ultimate fight against crimes and phenomena that are still active in our city.”

“For those remarks claiming that this bill created a police state, my answer is very simple. Before the ‘Operation Dante’ bill, our city was so critical and hopeless that we had to hand over our trust to a masked vigilante who ended up murdering someone who belonged to the true hope of Gotham City. Fortunately, hope was continued, and this bill is the legacy of Harvey Dante, and I want to protect it”. [(?

Another news was released.

“At the mayor’s request, the city council will introduce another bill to set the day of Harvey Dante’s sacrifice as a formal city public holiday, called ‘Harvey Dante’.”

There is no doubt that this is Warner Bros. viral marketing.

With the attention of the movie fans, Duke went to the studio and began to shoot some more difficult action scenes in front of the rebuilt green screen, such as the shots of the Bat fighter.

All the shots of the Bat fighter will be shot in front of the green screen. They will then be synthesized into the real-life material screen through gi.

The lens of the Bat fighter can be mainly divided into two parts: ground and high altitude.

When shooting ground action shots, Duke was installed on a motorcycle equipped with a universal head; when performing high-altitude stunts, several heavy booms were suspended in the air for shooting.

In order to fully capture every action of the high dynamic range of the bat fighter on the shooting site, Duke also asked Industrial Light and Magic to develop a panoramic stunt photography system. The system creates the effect of overlapping the field of view through four digital SLR cameras equipped with 8mm lenses, and the panoramic images obtained can be collaged and combined through digital technology.

According to the cooperation practice between Duke and John Schwartzman, John Schwartzman should be the only main camera crew in the film. However, in many scenes, the auxiliary machine and Stenikon operator Ben Scott also played an important role. In the shooting of these scenes, the auxiliary machine material is very high.

In addition to the complex shooting, Duke also decided to place more scenes in the film during the day, unlike the Dark Knight who almost completely uses the night as the background image.

In Duke's plan, Gotham City's night scenes were mainly shot in New York and Pittsburgh. As early as the preparatory period, John Schwartzman took many photos according to the exposure required by Duke, and then wrote notes on each photo and sent them to the equipment and lighting engineers equipped by the crew for each city.

Equipment lighting engineers can use the spectrum table to ensure that the background locations that require lighting can be arranged properly after returning to the outdoor location.

In this way, when Duke led the crew to the shooting site, the background lights were already arranged, so there was more time spent on shooting.

December, when time is approaching, is getting closer and closer to the release of the film. In addition to the busy shooting, Duke also began to cooperate with Warner Bros. An exclusive interview about him appeared in the new issue of the Entertainment Weekly.

"The Dark Knight Rises is being filmed, and director Duke Rosenberg also talked about his feelings about the end of the Batman trilogy and the behind-the-scenes content about the choice of the villain Bain."

"When talking about his last Batman movie, Duke Rosenberg said: 'I try to be less emotional on set. Because it doesn't help doing your job well. But you do hear a small voice saying OK, this is the last time we've shot this."

"The whole process is like a journey. When a character is finished, it makes people feel very touching when he says goodbye to them after filming a role. Marvel will say to them: Goodbye, old housekeeper Alfred; Goodbye, Police Chief Jim Gordon. This means so much to me, a very touching moment."

"When the reporter asked Duke, after Heath Ledger played such an excellent villain, how did he think of setting Bain the Destroyer as the big villain in this film? Duke replied: "I didn't know much about the role of Bain. At the beginning, the editorial team of the Duke Studio gave me a bunch of Bain's materials. Let's study him together. I'm not very familiar with the story behind him, but this is a very cool character."

"For Bain, Tada's body is its characteristic. You have to have a prototype to create a 'good' villain. You know, you need the extreme of a certain type of villain. The Joker is obviously a very unique prototype: a demon-like, anarchist, and a kind of evil sense of humor. I want to give Bain a completely different type in the movie this time. Bain is first a muscle-type villain. To some extent, he is a screen monster in classic movies but has a very smart brain. I think the audience will feel very happy to see us in Bain's shape."

"You can find an actor like Dwayne Johnson to play Bain, and you know you will definitely see something special. Like any great actor, Dwayne is the kind of performer who can integrate the character's qualities into the performance every move, every frown and smile. He is an actor who is very, very good at expressing himself with his body."

"Every moment, Dawn will transform himself into the role. He not only dares to get close to the role from his external image, but also dares to penetrate into the heart of the character. He has a deep grasp of the character's psychology, and has a very clear awareness of how to use the body and expression to convey the character. Of course, Bell is also such a very emotional actor."

"When talking about the end of the film, Duke Rosenberg said: "At the end of the Dark Knight, Batman and Police Chief Jim Gordon made major sacrifices and compromises. By the end of this film, this sacrifice must produce value, and Gotham City should be better in a sense, and at the end of the film they have to accomplish something so I want to make the end of the film feel right."

Not only North America, but also in other important markets, Warner Bros.'s publicity about the rise of the Dark Knights is in progress.

Although Duke's last film, the Avengers, did not receive the extension key in the Chinese market, also won a box office of 1.856 billion rmb in a month of screening, which further increased the weight of the Chinese market in the minds of Hollywood companies.

Due to the regulations on large scissors, Warner Greater China cannot do much advance publicity, but has formulated some targeted strategies. (To be continued.)
