These three cars should be the prototypes of the Autobots in the film. Michael Bay, who was looking at the design drawings, raised his head and found that in the busy hall, there was a guy wandering there. He was grumpy and yelled at the man rudely, "Hey, what are you doing standing there? I'm paying you, not for you to visit."
As soon as the man turned around, the expression on Michael Bay's face became very embarrassed, because he found that the lazy guy was the Chen Feng he had been waiting for. Michael Bay smiled sheepishly, "Chen Feng, why are you?" He looked Chen Feng up and down, and then complained: "You are wearing too ordinary clothes today, and your back is turned to me. I admitted my mistake.¡±
"Is there anything I can do for you here?" Chen Feng shrugged indifferently. Although this was a misunderstanding, he still had a preliminary understanding of Michael Bay's violent temper.
Michael Bay put down the drawings in his hand, walked to Chen Feng, and pointed to the three cars parked in the hall, "These are the prototypes of the three Autobot Transformers I selected. The Pontiac on the far left is brand new. The ice hard-top convertible sports car is the Autobot Jazz; the Autobot ambulance is a rescue robot modified from an H2 Hummer off-road vehicle; and the Ironhide is an ick medium-sized truck developed by the GMC division of General Motors. What do you think of these three? How does the car look like for an Autobot?"
"These three cars seem to be General Motors models?" Chen Feng asked casually.
¡°I¡¯ve had a great time working with General Motors, and I¡¯m very happy to be working with them on this film,¡± Michael Bay explained.
"So where are the two most important Autobots in the film?" Chen Feng looked around. No other cars were found in the hall: "Optimus Prime, the leader of the Autobots, and my partner Bumblebee, they don't seem to be here."
"Optimus Prime is a big truck. Its prototype is Peterbi, but that truck is too big. I didn't consider driving it over." Michael Bay knew that Chen Feng would ask this. He was obviously prepared: "As for Bumblebee, I guarantee you will be very surprised when you see it, come with me."
In the parking garage behind the hall, Chen Feng saw a yellow GM sports car. Michael Bay knows this car well and has introduced it more than other cars: "When I saw the shape of this Chevrolet RO sports car replica that will be produced in 2008 in the design department of General Motors, I I knew right away that it would be the perfect ambassador for the Bumblebee character. The lines of this model are beautiful and classic, and no other car can compare to it. Because this car will not be launched for another two years. So it can't be blatantly used. It¡¯s out there.¡±
"But I remember that the Bumblebee should be a Volkswagen Beetle?" Chen Feng asked doubtfully.
"You are talking about the car style of Bumblebee in the 1980s cartoon. That car is now completely inconsistent with the visual style of this science fiction super blockbuster. What we need is the latest, coolest, most dazzling modern, Even a future concept car." Michael Bettin bluntly admitted that his adaptation deviated from the original setting, but 'Hasbro' company has agreed to his modifications. Because after the movie is released, they will take advantage of the situation and launch new movie version toys. The old Bumblebee was obviously not as cool as the sports car in front of Chen Feng after its transformation.
"We conducted a survey online and found that almost 70% of the audience can accept the new version of Bumblebee." In order to dispel Chen Feng's doubts, Michael Bay further explained: "The role of Bumblebee in this film It is more important than the cartoon, it can be said that the film will create a brand new Bumblebee."
"As for Optimus Prime, the most popular character in Transformers. I will fully respect the original work when filming. I guarantee that in this film, whether it is the shape of a tractor truck with 6 wheels, or the shape of a robot, or even the transformation process The sounds and sounds are exactly the same as the cartoons 20 years ago. The only difference is that the cartoons back then were two-dimensional creations. Today's movies are fully three-dimensional productions, with the cooperation of advanced special effects technology. Every character of Optimus Prime The audience can clearly see the transformation action.¡±
The topic between the two of them ranged from "Autobots" and "Transformers" to "Decepticon". Among Megatron's team, the first one to appear was "Vertigo" who transformed into an armed helicopter, and his partner was good at earth escape. The "poisonous scorpion". After them, another pair appeared - "Roadblock", who transformed into a police car, and "Confusion", who was good at stealing intelligence. In addition, they also appeared successively including "Starscream", which transformed into an F22 fighter jet, Noisy, which transforms into a main battle tank, and Bonecrusher, which transforms into a minesweeper.
It can be seen from Michael Bay¡¯s setting that most of the ¡°Decepticons¡± are highly offensive military machines, while the ¡°Autobots¡± are all civilian cars. Michael Bay wanted to use this to establish a clear camp stance. The "Autobots" are peace-loving, while the "Crazy Ones"?"They are all militants.
In the "Transformers" cartoon, Megatron, the leader of the "Decepticons", transformed into a gun. But in the setting of the film, Megatron transforms into a huge alien jet.
In addition to making Megatron's appearance cooler, the madness in Michael Bay's bones also prompted him to increase Megatron's force value infinitely, so the combat effectiveness shown by Megatron in this film is unparalleled in the world. , even Optimus Prime was not his opponent and was almost crippled by Megatron in the final battle. The most "bloody" scene in the whole film was also created by Megatron, when he turned into a jet fighter and flew Jazz into the sky, and then turned back into a robot form and cut Jazz off in the middle.
Michael Bay vividly described his vision for those battle scenes to Chen Feng. This guy was born for big scenes. With such an excellent platform as "Transformers", Michael Bay will definitely give full play to his preferences. Extreme.
The two groups of robots were fighting heartily in the human city, and the human army naturally could not sit still and wait to be killed, so in Michael Bay's idea, the Mi** team was also brought in. Michael Bay has had a very pleasant cooperation with the Department of Defense in many films, so when filming Transformers, he once again thought of using the power of the military.
With previous shooting experience, Michael Bay is relatively familiar with some procedures in the military. However, he couldn't help but worry at first, because the American army was deeply involved in two wars with the Middle East. Many troops were sent out to deal with so-called "terrorists" and they might not have time to cooperate with the filming of the film. (To be continued)
