    This trick that Chen Feng gave him not only helped him solve many shooting problems, but also in the urban battle at the end of the film, a car was lifted by the "Starscream" and flew across the entire street and crashed into it.  On the third floor of a corner building, this scene was shot using a heavy-duty overhead crane suitable for high-rise buildings, using the same technique.

    Car chase scenes have always been Michael Bay¡¯s strong point. Both ¡°Battlefield 2¡± and ¡°Escape from the Lost Island¡± have car chase scenes that combine high speed and destruction. In this film, he still continues his preference.

    "The audience wants to see the fight between the Transformers, not their race." After seeing the stage shooting plan he submitted, Sberg had to give him a kind reminder.  Michael Bay then restrained himself slightly during the filming of "Transformers" so that these scenes would not overwhelm the robot battles.

    But even so, he still designed many chase scenes.  In order to capture the dynamics of the car chase, the on-site special effects team specially designed and manufactured a high-speed moving camera car according to Michael Bay's wishes.  These cars are equipped with controllable camera cranes on the roof, as well as super anti-seismic devices, so that even when following the car at high speeds of mph, the camera can still move smoothly and freely, taking pictures from all angles.  A thrilling car chase scene.

    When filming the scene where the "Bone Crusher" chases "Optimus Prime", there is a scene where the "Bone Crusher" uses his machine's long shovel to "scoop" the vehicles and throw them away. This is very similar to the scene in "Battlefield II" where the "Bone Crusher" was  An out-of-control car dragged by chains, and a rolling train wheel in "Escape from the Island".  ¡¾*You¡¿

    In order to shoot a more immersive destruction effect, Michael Bay and the special effects team jointly designed and manufactured an ultra-high-strength "bumper car": a car whose fuselage was reinforced with ultra-high-strength steel pipe brackets.  **The camera placed on the front of the car is also tightly protected, so that the stunt crew can drive this "armored" guy directly into the flying car, and the camera will record the collision accurately.  scene.  Although Chen Feng doubted whether it made sense for Michael Bay to be so obsessed with destruction, he had to admire his bold imagination.

    "Some people have been making bets in the media." Li Haitao stirred the spoon with interest, watching his coffee rotating at a steady speed in the cup, and said slowly: "At the beginning, they were betting that you could insist on cooperating with Michael Bay.  how long?"

    "Then what?" The filming of "Transformers" is coming to an end.  The schedule was very tight, and Chen Feng finally got a half-day off from Michael Bay. He didn't come here just to listen to Li Haitao's boring "nonsense".

    "There should be a sequel to "Transformers" if nothing else goes wrong. They are now betting on whether you will continue to appear in the sequel." Li Haitao saw the impatience in Chen Feng's eyes, but he still spoke slowly.  "Michael Bay is famous for his bad temper at DreamWorks. How does it feel to work with him?"

    "Don't you think that as my agent, you are negligent in raising this issue when the filming of the film is about to end?" Chen Feng snorted angrily, "I had a great time working with him."

    "Okay, I accept your criticism." Li Haitao shrugged helplessly, "Then what have you gained during this time?"

    "What's gained?" Chen Feng stared at Li Haitao, "My character is completely a foil. The real protagonists of this film are the Transformers, okay?"

    "But your worth is much more expensive than their production cost." Li Haitao chuckled: "Okay, I admit that your role in this film does not have much merit, but Michael Bay's directorship in commercial films  Talent is unquestionable. Didn¡¯t you learn something from this?¡±

    Chen Feng curled his lips: "Directors like Michael Bay who pursue big scenes and extreme special effects all have a common shortcoming, which is that the connotation of the movie is not expressed enough. In my opinion, his style is somewhat flashy."

    "But he has brought this flashy style to the extreme, and the audience is willing to buy it. This is the most important thing." Li Haitao shook his head. He had not talked to Chen Feng in such a preaching tone for a long time, but  Today is an exception.  "Without Sberg, there would be no "Transformers", but do you know why he asked Michael Bay to direct it instead of himself?"

    Chen Feng thinks the answer is obvious, "Because Michael Bay is good at shooting this kind of action movies."

    "DreamWorks talks about grasping the big scenes. Who can pat his chest and say that he can surpass James?" Li Haitao asked further.

    "James will definitely overspend on this subject. If it were left to him, DreamWorks would have to tighten its belt for a long time before it can earn back its investment."

    "This is one of the reasons. Sberg himself alsoIt is not a money-saving material. Although the filming of "War of the Worlds" was full of fun, it also cost no less than 200 million US dollars in production costs. DreamWorks is now relatively tight.  If you were holding a hot potato in your hand and couldn't bear to throw it away, what would you do instead?  "

    Chen Feng has never considered the problem from this perspective before, "If it were me, I would throw it to someone I can control."

    "You and Sberg made the same choice. It seems that Michael Bay's 'blame' was not unjust. Of course, he now needs a movie to turn over. Judging from Michael Bay's past style, he is born  He was born to make a passionate movie like "Transformers". The most important thing is that Michael Bay knew how to save money on this movie."

    "Save money?" Chen Feng was stunned. Michael Bay would never associate the word "save money" with it in his mind.  He knows that visual special effects based on "computer-generated images" are a bottomless pit of money, but Michael Bay has always focused on on-site special effects, which are all real.

    "You are on the set. In fact, as long as you pay a little attention, you can see something." Li Haitao naturally would not make these remarks out of thin air. Although he has never been to the set of "Transformers", he has carefully studied Michael Bay.  The previous movie finally came to this conclusion:

    "The way Michael Bay saves money is related to his photography style. Think about it, compared with James, do you think Michael Bay is really a director who pursues details?"

    Chen Feng remained silent while Li Haitao gave the answer himself.

    "I don't think so. In his previous films, there were far more local scenes than panoramic shots, and there were far fewer close-ups showing details. In this way, the workload of the visual effects animation part can be reduced by more than half.  I believe there will be a lot of long shots in the film "Transformers", and the digital modeling does not need to be so detailed that it wastes time and money. The outlines are just passable. Between the excitement of the audience and the flashing of the camera, the audience is absolutely in love.  I can¡¯t see it clearly.¡± (To be continued)
