"Hey, Mai, let me tell you a very good news. () That is that we have developed a technology that combines digital virtual scenery with real scenery, oh. It is really amazing. Without your suggestions, we would have This technology would not be developed so quickly. With this technology, movies no longer need to be limited by scenes. In this way, the sky for movies will be wider. This feels great."
After Stan met Mak Cheng-hsiung, he happily told him about the incident. "Tomb Raider" was still in the early preparation stage. Stan and the others did not need to participate, so he had been overcoming the final technical difficulties. At this time, he was extremely excited.
What kind of person is Mak Cheng-hsiung? Different people have different answers. In Stan's eyes, Mak Cheng-hsiung is a pioneer of film stunt technology. Although he did not directly participate in the research, he brought great achievements to stunt technology. The impact of "Tomb Raider" is extremely huge. It has passed every stuntman. His ideas have obviously affected the effects of stunts in movies. And according to Mak Chengxiong's vision, after the filming of "Tomb Raider", the effect will be certain. It will surprise people.
Mak Cheng-hsiung was also very comforted. This technology is so important that it will be used in the classic blockbusters of later generations. They are all backgrounds changed by computer. The effect was so real that people mistakenly thought it was real. At this time, Mak Cheng-hsiung was still worried about the filming of "Tomb Raider" and smiled and said to Stan: "By the way, how is the production of Baby Stan?" Already?"
This little baby is the robot that fights Lara Croft at the beginning of Tomb Raider. Mai Chengxiong handed over this arduous task to the omnipotent Stan.
Although the robot has been put on the screen in "Terminator", it is nothing more than a flower. His movements can only imitate human walking, and the movements are very slow. However, under the performance, it gives people It brought a very depressing effect on my heart, but it was still far from being a character. So this time Mai Chengxiong is going to give it a try. Stan has a habit of calling the things he makes "baby" like a kind father. Mai Chengxiong is also influenced by him.
"Oh, he, it may take a while. This time, because you require flexibility, it's not a good job. There are so many joints in the body that it's hard to get out of the way without electricity. , to use your words, he was too anxious to eat the hot tofu. Stan was in a very good mood at this time, and even joked with Mai Chengxiong for the first time.
This robot was made through the joint efforts of more than 20 people who are good at prop production in the digital field, and several technicians who are familiar with circuits. So the speed is very fast, it will be almost completed in more than a week.
??Has the previous cooperation on "Resident Evil". Let everyone be familiar with this cooperative production method, so this time I will be familiar with it.
There¡¯s not much of a problem with stunt production here. However, there are still many problems on the film crew. The first problem is the determination of a role in the film. This film is almost a film in which Yang Ziqiong is the protagonist. Of course, there are also some supporting roles. Among them, Laura's father is also the main character. All the villains have been confirmed, but the only one that Peter still can't decide on is one character. That is, the role of the mercenary who has a special relationship with Laura is somewhat difficult to determine. It was originally supposed to be played by a Hollywood actor. But it feels very irrational at best. Because Yang Ziqiong is an Oriental woman, it always feels a little wrong to act opposite a white man. At this time he suddenly had an idea. That is to use an Asian actor to film.
Mak Sing-hsiung is in a bit of a dilemma. This problem can be easily solved. All he needs to do is tell the Hong Kong side and let DreamWorks choose a suitable actor. However, it will waste more time. You must know that "Tomb" "Beautiful Shadow" has been shot sporadically, and they are all very bland shots. Selecting people, confirming them, getting visas, and finally flying to Hollywood, and also having to rest for a few days to recover. It takes a lot of time to do all of this. This will seriously affect the filming progress. After listening to Mak Chengxiong's words after. Both Lasseter and Peter frowned. It seemed that the only choice was to use the actor who had already been selected.
"Haha, Peter, actually you are really wrong this time. There is still so much effort required. A very good actor is right in front of you, but you can't find Yang Ziqiong with a lantern. At this time, he is with Yuan Heping. People were studying filming techniques and happened to overhear their conversation. At this time, they came over and said.
The role of Laura in this filming is a woman with an exaggerated personality. Not only must she have full confidence, but her personality must also be exaggerated. She is a character that surprises everyone. She is bohemian and likes to cross her legs. She will not restrain herself even in formal occasions, so in the past two days, Yang Ziqiong'sHer personality has merged with Laura's, and she speaks much louder.
After Peter Jackson and Lasseter heard Yang Ziqiong's words at this time, they were confused at first, and then they immediately turned their attention to Yuan Heping, but they felt that his image was not suitable, but this was just a supporting role. The two of them have to use Yuan Heping to play this character.
Yuan Heping saw the eyes of the two fat men focused on him, and knew that the two fat men had wrong intentions. He smiled and pointed at Mai Chengxiong and explained! "Don't look at me. In fact, there is someone else, far away and right in front of you. It's Mak Cheng-hsiung."
"Mai!?"
The two people exclaimed in unison, with somewhat dissatisfied expressions on their faces. Their pressure was already heavy enough, and they were still joking at this time, but they didn't say it out loud.
Yang Ziqiong came to Mak Chengxiong with a smile. He put his arm around Mai Chengxiong's shoulders very naturally. Said: "Of course, he is our boss. Don't you know? He is a very good actor, and he starred in "The Love of Ghosts" himself. Needless to say, the effect is natural. You can tell just by looking at the box office, I burst into tears after watching it."
This Yang Ziqiong has changed so much. Her character suddenly became bolder, and she dared to hook up with Mak Chengxiong. It seems that she has fully adapted to this role.
??Everyone has seen "The Endless Love between Humans and Ghosts". The Sam inside is certainly familiar. It's just that the status difference between Sam and Mak Cheng-hsiung is too big. Even though they are strikingly similar, it doesn't allow everyone to connect the two people. At this time, when Yang Ziqiong reminded them, the two people suddenly understood
Mak Cheng-hsiung has not participated in filming for several years. I remember that during the first filming, I had no choice but to go on the screen because of Hung Kam-bo's busy schedule. Later, I collaborated with Cheng Long. That shooting allowed him to find the feeling of shooting, and "The Love of Ghosts" allowed his acting skills to be sublimated. He finally grew from an actor who only had a touch of knowledge to one who can completely control the rhythm of the film and influence the audience's reaction. Actors, but although DreamWorks is getting bigger and bigger. So he put the filming aside. Apart from directing a few films, he has never participated in filming again.
The two fat guys still look embarrassed now. Because of Mai Chengxiong's special status, the two of them really didn't dare to invite Mai Chengxiong to shoot. After all, he is his immediate boss, and even if he agrees to the filming, it is inevitable that there will be friction during the filming. The two of them weighed it up in their hearts.
Yang Ziqiong was very positive this time. She really wanted to play opposite Mak Sing-hsiung, but she never had this opportunity. She also envied Wang Tongxian very much, because she had worked with Mak Sing-hsiung before, and she also filmed such a This is a touching film, so what she wants most this time is that Mak Cheng-hsiung can agree to it. She will have the opportunity to star opposite Mak Sing-hsiung in the film.
Mak Cheng-hsiung was also a little bit technical at this time, and he thought about the scenes in the film again, and came up with this. There were not many roles, so he could not only solve the problem, but also enjoy the drama, so Mak Cheng-hung agreed with a smile. This time, the two fat directors Lasseter and Peter breathed a sigh of relief. After all, they did not Mai Chengxiong agreed to speak.
When Yuan Heping heard that Mak Chengxiong would actually participate in the filming, he said to Mak Chengxiong with a smile on his face: "How are you preparing to appear on the scene? Haha, by the way, your role is still a little too little. I am so sorry for you, the big boss. , how about letting them add some drama to you?"
Mak Chengxiong was very anxious at this time and hurriedly stopped his move, "Brother Yuan, don't you know me yet? In fact, it's just to enjoy the drama. I am a little too busy for these scenes, not to mention there are so many things. Well, this is the best."
Yuan Heping suddenly discovered a very good shooting method recently. In fact, this was also inspired by him after watching several science fiction films in Hollywood, especially Cameron's "Terminator". He felt that Arnold's performance It's so good, even though there are so few movements, every body language expresses his masculinity. He became a cold-blooded killer who made people sweat behind his back.
So this time, Yuan Heping also tried to change his action style, not to change his martial arts style, but to match his actions with showy technical products, which will bring greater visual impact to people , and also designed several exaggerated actions for Yang Ziqiong. It seems that Yuan Heping has never had this ear before. In order to make this film well, he himself also changed a lot.
Laura¡¯s character has a wild personality, which is also a big challenge for Yang Ziqiong, because this character is exactly the opposite of her own personality. But Yang Ziqiong quickly adapted to it. These days, she has beenBring play into your life.
This time the filming of "Tomb Raider" was very huge, and Cameron was not idle. He just finished the script of "True Lies" and left the United States because he is the screenwriter of this film. I was most familiar with the script and also studied archeology, so I immediately started to choose overseas studios. "Tomb Raider" was very selective in the shooting scenes. One of the studios was an abandoned temple, and it also had to be large-scale. It was a very large place, and it had to have an obvious oriental style, so he immediately set his sights on China. Unfortunately, China is still very cautious about foreigners now, especially if they have to enter a cultural relic protection zone. Know what his intentions are. In the end, the negotiation was not successful.
Cameron was a little disappointed, but soon contacted Bollywood in India, and soon found a temple that was very suitable for filming. This was a temple that was in disrepair, many buildings collapsed, and the Indian authorities also Consideration of rebuilding is in line with Cameron's requirements. This way, it can provide the Indian authorities with the cost of repairs, and India must be smaller to provide shooting venues for the digital field, a cooperation that has the best of both worlds.
After setting the location in India, Cameron rushed to places north of Alaska without stopping. Because the storyline required that the triangular fragments be placed in two extreme places, so this time the location had to be found near the Arctic Circle. , the Soviet Union is mentioned in the script, but the relationship between the United States and Russia is still too tense now, so we have to look for it on the United States.
Fortunately, it¡¯s just a location. Therefore, the requirements were not so demanding. Cameron quickly settled on a place with cold temperatures and sparsely populated areas. It happened that a river had just opened up. It just fits the description of the script.
????????????????????????????????? The newly formed film crew immediately headed to the set in Alaska. After a bumpy journey, they finally arrived at the set, which was still covered in ice and snow. The crew immediately began to set up the set
Cameron was not here. After the crew had completed setting up the set, Cameron was belatedly arriving, but this guy also brought surprises to everyone. Because this guy actually got three Water-6 amphibious vehicles, which are so rare to see. It completely exceeded everyone¡¯s imagination. I am very curious about these three big guys.
"Hey, Mai, how about it? This thing is really good, it took me a lot of effort to get it." Cameron said to Mai Chengxiong with a proud look on his face.
Indeed, when this big guy appeared in front of Mai Chengxiong, even Mai Chengxiong was shocked. He didn't take it into consideration at all. After all, he had to deal with the military. This was something Mai Chengxiong was still a little afraid of, so he never mentioned it. When I came out, I didn't expect this guy Cameron to actually do it. So Mai Chengxiong asked Cameron very strangely: "How did you do it? Is it possible that there are relatives of yours among the top leaders of the U.S. military?"
Cameron was very disdainful of Mak Chengxiong's words and said disdainfully: "Does it have to be related? Let me tell you that there is one omnipotent thing in this world, and that is the U.S. dollar. The filming of "True Lies" requires the use of the most powerful U.S. dollars. The advanced military technology Harrier fighter jet, this small Water-6 amphibious vehicle is nothing more than a child.
Cameron¡¯s words made Mak Cheng-hsiung very ashamed. After all, you are also a time traveler. I didn't expect that you are so far behind Cameron in this aspect. No wonder this guy can find everything when filming.
Cameron chuckled and said to Mak Cheng-hsiung: "It cost ten thousand dollars to borrow these three guys, so they can only go around in one circle. They are really making money." Influenced by Mak Cheng-hsiung, this The director who can spend the most money actually laments this mere ten thousand. Mak Cheng-hsiung is somewhat proud, after all, this Cameron is really too extravagant. To describe it as luxurious is not an overstatement.
And the crew also rented four dog pullers from the local area, which are also indispensable local means of transportation, and of course their owners, so they were almost ready.
At the end of "Tomb Raider", Laura and the others entered a cave hidden in the ice and snow underground. There was a large instrument that simulated the movement of the planets in the solar system. It was very impressive, but this place Not in this snowy Alaska, but in a Hollywood studio. After all, if you want to build a place here, it will not only cost a huge amount of money, but also more manpower. Naturally, it will not be taken by everyone.
Immediately, the crew was divided into two parts. One part was decorating the Aqua 6 amphibious vehicle. After all, the script mentioned a Russian car, so it was necessary to give the car some make-up. This was not a problem for the crew, and they quickly found a paste-up vehicle. paper, covering the American logo, and in a blink of an eye, the three Water-6 amphibious vehicles turned into Russian tanks. The other part was filmed by the directors and actors. The dog sled is here??Charged by the hour. So it¡¯s best to end the shoot as soon as possible.
At night, Mai Chengxiong was very upset. It's too cold here, much colder than winter. There are too many crew members, and it's just a temporary shooting here. We only need to shoot a few sets of outdoor shots, so we didn't go to the city and just set up here. After leaving the tent, at night, everyone was shivering with cold in their sleeping bags.
"Hey, can't everyone sleep? How about we come out and hold a bonfire party?" Cameron also woke up from the cold and yelled outside the tent.
Soon lights appeared in tents of all sizes, and from time to time people ran out wrapped in clothes. Everyone agrees with Cameron's opinion.
Soon a huge bonfire was lit. The surrounding area was filled with red. Mai Chengxiong leaned close to Cameron and whispered: "So you are afraid of the cold. Who said that on the phone? The scenery here is very beautiful, as beautiful as heaven."
Cameron rolled his eyes. It was hard to tell whether his face was really red due to the firelight, but of course it was impossible for this guy to admit it. At this time, he said disdainfully: "Let me tell you, I didn't come out because of the cold. Yes, do you know where we are now? There are a lot of wolves here. They really fell asleep here. If a wolf pack comes, it is no joke.
