Chapter 845 849, Exploded

"When a sports car is driven off the train, the trailer and the train are relatively still, and the sports car and the train are also relatively still. The two modes of transportation are switched, one in and one out, to complete the train scene.

...

At the end of this scene, the bridge has two arched guardrails next to it, forming a situation with both tunnel and bridge characteristics. The protagonist jumps off the train and then jumps into the water, which takes only a few seconds, and can almost complete the dual actions of escaping from the tunnel and jumping into the water at the same time."

Although it was delayed for a few days, Sun Hao still calmly explained his thoughts and his design of the action to Ke Shouliang and others again.

For this reason, Sun Hao even helped them find a special effects team from Hollywood to shoot this highlight.

It is impossible not to admit that in terms of flying car special effects, the Hollywood team is really much more mature than Ke Shouliang's team.

When Hollywood colleagues watched a few shots shot by the crew a few days ago, they immediately found the crux of the problem.

"Hmm..., director, how about this?

We will shoot most of the shots, but we can shoot many high-speed shots at low speeds, and then synthesize them with post-production effects.

Among them, in order to increase the impact of speed on the audience's eyes, we can also use a lot of main-view lenses when shooting the scenes..."

...

"Action!"

The uniformed conductor opened the door of the train compartment. Ma Yanli, who was sitting on the seat, tilted her head slightly, and then smiled at Deng Chao opposite:

"Come on!

The good show is about to start."

After saying that, Ma Yanli stood up first, turned around, and walked towards the uniformed conductor with her long legs.

"Hmm..."

Deng Chao smiled and nodded, and then hurriedly followed.

"Ah..."

Maybe because she walked too fast in front, Ma Yanli bumped into the oncoming conductor, so she grabbed his arm and apologized hurriedly:

"Sorry, I was too anxious!"

"Haha, it's okay."

The conductor smiled and waved his hand.

While the two were talking, Deng Chao, who was behind the conductor, succeeded and copied the door card on the next car.

…

"OK, passed, next scene!"

Sun Hao stood up from behind the director's monitor, took off his headphones, and shook the intercom in his hand.

In fact, these literary scenes had been shot on the first day the crew arrived in the town, but Sun Hao decided to shoot them again.

It was not because there was a problem with the previous shooting material, but to allow several actors to better get into the role. After all, the shooting in the first five or six days was not smooth, and everyone had been exhausted.

"Action!"

Pushing open the door, Deng Chao saw three super sports cars parked quietly in the car.

"Hi, Don?"

At this time, Deng Chao took out his mobile phone from his butt pocket and dialed it.

"We found something!

It's in the second-to-last car of the train."

"Bang..."

Ma Yanli wrapped her fist with a cloth... until she felt it was OK, and then she punched the glass inside the train car, and the keys of three super sports cars were hanging in the glass.

...

"OK, passed, next scene!"

After Sun Hao finished speaking, the train used by the crew to shoot slowly stopped, and then the helicopter rented by the crew outside the train car quickly rose. Photographer Zhao Xiaoding, who was wearing a safety belt, squatted at the cabin of the helicopter, holding the camera and shooting down...

And Ning Hao, who was also wearing a safety rope, sat in the trunk of an off-road vehicle on the ground. The trunk door was open for him to hold the camera and shoot backwards.

"Action!"

In the distance, a tattered cart came from a distance, and the friction between the tires and the ground stirred up dust in the desert.

Bang...

The sound was loud!

The cart jumped high, and then fell heavily to the ground.

"Hi..."

The cell phone in his pocket rang, and Jiang Wu, who had a bald head, shouted into the microphone:

"Speak!

Speak quickly, we'll be there soon."

…………

With the scientific shooting method, the shooting speed of "Fast and Furious 2" immediately changed dramatically.

Originally, the shots that could only be shot in one day but the effect was terrible, now, it can be perfectly solved in four hours, and the effect is still great!

The only pitfall is that the special effects team in Hollywood is too particular about rules. If they say they will work for eight hours, they will work for eight hours. Once the eight hours are up, they will leave without caring whether the crew has finished shooting the shots.

But fortunately, at this time, Ke Shouliang's team will immediately take over.

………

In this way, on July 8, 2003, "Fast and Furious 2" finally ushered in its last scene, [speeding, jumping into the river].

Since they couldn't really jump into the river, the crew's shooting location was moved from the desert town of Rice in California to the photography base of Time Warner.

In the Bambuk area of ​​Los Angeles, there is a "factory area" covering an area of ​​445,000 square meters. The closed "factory buildings" are arranged in an orderly manner, and trucks and shuttles equipped with large photographic equipment come and go. This "factory area" is the Time Warner Studio. The warehouse-style "factory building" is called a "studio", and there is also a block of about 80,000 square meters of simulated city scenery, which is called a "film city".

In Los Angeles, the film capital, every major production company has such a large area. Even Universal Studios has set up a tourist Universal Studios, which has brought them huge tourism revenue, but Warner Studios is not directly open to tourists.

"Hello, Director Sun!"

The person who came to greet the crew of "Fast and Furious 2" was Scott Bender, a staff member of Warner's External Relations Department. Obviously, Time Warner did not give special care to Sun Hao because he was about to start filming the company's major drama "Batman Trilogy" next year.

If you want to use our studio, then rent it at the normal price, there is no special care or discount.

Of course, this is also very suitable for Sun Hao's taste.

If you come with a large group of company executives to greet me, I really don't know whether I should shoot first or entertain you CEOs, COOs, CFOs first...

Under the leadership of Scott Bender, the crew walked into Studio 4 and immediately began to set up the shooting scene.

In fact, the shooting scene of the last scene was very simple, that is, a 25-ton crane lifted a silver supercar high, Jiang Wu and Deng Chao stood on the roof, and then surrounded by green screens.

"Sun..."

"Hmm?"

Just as Sun Hao was staring at the crew setting up the shooting scene, he, who had been in the United States for more than ten days, finally met his partner, the old rogue ~ Harvey Weinstein.

"Sun, did you miss me?"

Regardless of whether Sun Hao was happy or not, Harvey Weinstein ran over and gave him a big bear hug.

"No!"

Sun Hao stretched out his arms and spread the old man's arms.

"Uh..."

Harvey Weinstein obviously didn't expect Sun Hao's movements to be so smooth. He wanted to pat his back and kiss the little guy's cheek, but he didn't expect his arms to be separated involuntarily.

"Mr. Harvey, what are you so happy about? Did you find money?"

"Of course I found money!"

When Harvey Weinstein mentioned this, he was so excited that he danced with joy.

"Sun, the cost of shooting can be ignored, and the distribution cost of "This Man From Earth" is 15 million US dollars. It's a big hit.

In two and a half days, the North American box office of this movie exceeded 19 million US dollars, and the global box office reached a terrifying 31 million US dollars.

You are too awesome, hahaha..."
