If you are asked to make a graduation film, you will win the Golden Bear Award?

Chapter 238 Audiences around the world are looking forward to it!

"Action!" Lu Chen ordered.

The entire crew entered the shooting work, and the off-site staff stopped making noises, so as not to affect the radio work on the shooting site.

Everyone on the crew knew it.

The scenes filmed today must be passed.

If the building explodes, it's gone.

There is no way to shoot the second one, and there is no second building for the crew to blow up.

Only one more building can be rebuilt, and the filming schedule will be seriously affected.

The staff of the film crew all know how much Director Lu attaches importance to the progress of the filming work. If anyone affects today's filming, Director Lu will be furious.

The camera is now powered on.

The 'Joker' played by Heath Lager walked out of the hospital gate in a nurse's uniform and followed the steps to the road.

There were constant explosions from behind, as well as bricks and other objects flying out of the explosion.

Xislaijie had a 'clown' signature smile on his face, and walked with a devilish pace, without even looking back, just like a real man, never looking back at the explosion.

There was no trace of fear in Xislaijie's expression from beginning to end.

I don't know if it was a show, or I really didn't care about the explosion behind me, and I wasn't afraid of being injured.

The whole person is completely involved in the play, that is, the clown himself.

The camera also moved backwards, following Heath Laijie's forward steps, so that Heath Laijie always occupied the center of the screen.

Everyone was conquered by Heath Laijie's performance, including Christie Eucalyptus who played Batman.

Frederick, the vice president of Warner Bros., was very worried. He hoped that Heath Laijie would walk faster, so as not to be hit by the flying objects from the explosion. He was also conquered by Heath Laijie's performance.

Although Heath Laijie is not very normal, he did not delay the filming work. This state made everyone think of the DC Comics villain 'Joker' as a three-pointer.

Fred felt that Director Lu's words were right, Heath Laijie was the clown himself.

At this time, the sound of explosions was not as dense as before.

Xislaijie stopped in his tracks, with a puzzled expression on his face. He turned his head, and the explosion stopped completely. Xislaijie turned around and spread his hands, not understanding what was going on.

"What's the matter? Why didn't the bombing stop?" Fred was puzzled. The plot should keep bombing until the whole building collapsed. Why did the bombing stop in half?

Director Lu wanted to save money, so he stopped blowing up.

But when this building was built, it was a tofu dregs project, which was specially used for bombing in filming, and it was useless to keep it. It would be better to bomb it to save a lot of demolition costs.

"Shut up." Lu Chen told Fried to shut up, so as not to affect the live radio work, and he couldn't stop now. This is a long shot without any pause in the middle.

Now it depends on Heath Laijie's on-site emergency response capabilities.

The members of the blasting team all looked particularly ugly, and the explosion stopped suddenly, which was a huge mistake at work.

Of course, I am also thankful that this is the cessation of the explosion, not the advance, otherwise the consequences will be quite serious.

Xislaijie turned his back to the camera, watched the explosion stop, and began to press the detonator. Director Lu said before shooting that this is a real detonator, not a prop.

This is also for the authenticity of the movie.

If it is a fake detonator, the detonation will be completed by the personnel of the on-site explosion team, which will be difficult to synchronize with the actors and affect the viewing experience.

As for giving the actors real detonators, the price is that the actors are in some danger. After all, they are not professionals and cannot control the safe distance of the explosion.

At this time, all the staff outside the venue became tense, watching Xislaijie frantically pressing the detonator.

"boom!"

Suddenly there was a loud bang.

Startled the off-site staff.

Of course, Heath Laijie, who played the role of "The Clown", was also taken aback, but he reacted immediately and jumped on the school bus, which immediately drove out of the camera.

The camera looks at the building in front.

Every floor of the building was exploding, and countless glass splashed out.

Under such a violent explosion, the building persisted for three seconds before collapsing.

The camera then cuts to a super-telescope, overlooking the entire building.

The entire building could be seen sparking, and when it finally collapsed, thick smoke rising tens of meters high.

"Crack!" Lu Chen took off his earphones, with a particularly bad expression on his face.

Gao Yuanyuan took a few steps back consciously, so as not to be affected.

"How do you guys do it!" Fried scolded the members of the blasting team before Lu Chen started scolding, "You guys are professionals, why did you stop blasting just now?"

"From 'Joker', this is a one-shot shot to the end. Your work mistakes caused the explosion to be incoherent. Do you know how much thought Director Lu put into today's scene? This is a shot that must be passed through. Ruined by your mistakes."

Such scolding was because the demolition team recommended it to Director Lu.

After all, he is the most professional in Europe and the United States, but he made such a low-level mistake and harmed himself. Director Lu would not think that the recommendations were second-rate.

"Director Lu, Mr. Fried, I'm sorry, it's our fault, it's because we didn't do our job well." The leader of the Dao Po team hurriedly apologized.

He didn't shirk his responsibility, he had to stand upright when he was beaten.

"The work of the blasting team is extremely important, because it is related to the safety of the actors." Lu Chen did not expect such a low-level mistake, "This is just the stop of the explosion. If it is done earlier, have you considered the consequences?"

Accidents have happened in the film industry because of shooting explosion scenes, but most of these dangerous scenes are performed by doubles.

Lu Chen still remembered that he had seen an old news in his previous life. When Jet Li was filming "The Expendables 2", the explosion happened prematurely, causing Jet Li's stand-in to die accidentally. Therefore, there must not be any carelessness in safety incidents.

"Director Lu, we made a mistake. We must correct it next time, and we will never make such a mistake." The members of the blasting team apologized one by one, and they also knew how serious today's incident was.

"If you do it again next time, you can get out." Fried cursed, and then came to Lu Chen, "Director Lu, don't be angry anymore, if you didn't take a good shot just now, just take another shot, the building will be built again, if you rush Time, post-production special effects, everything depends on what you want."

I was also afraid that Director Lu would be angry because of this incident. If he refused to do it, who would Fleet find for filming?

"This one has passed." Lu Chen said there was no need to reshoot.

"Passed?" Everyone in the production team was puzzled. There was an accident during the filming, but it passed?
"Director Lu, is it really over?" Fred thought, maybe Director Lu wanted to hurry up and finish the movie as soon as possible, so he didn't care about the accident.

"Batman: The Dark Knight" is the biggest project of Warner Bros. this year. We must ensure the quality of the film and not let it go.

Besides, Director Lu hadn't always been particularly strict.

Fred has been on the set for this period of time. Director Lu's requirements for the film are clear, and they are very strict. If there is any mistake, he will ask for a new one.

And now that such a big mistake has occurred, he actually expressed it?

"Mr. Fried, take a look at the picture taken just now." From the look in Fried's eyes, Lu Chen could see what Fried was thinking, and let him come over.

Call up the shooting screen just now.

Fleet was puzzled and didn't understand what Director Lu meant, but he still came over and looked at the scene just now.

After watching it, I was a little surprised. Although there were mistakes and the explosion was stopped, but looking at it as a whole, there was nothing out of the ordinary, and it didn't violate the harmony at all.

There was even a hint of surprise, which was even more brilliant than the previously scheduled scene.

"Heath Laijie did a great job." Lu Chen's tone was full of praise, "Even though there was an accident during the filming, Heath Laijie definitely did not stop performing, and all of his performances were 'clowns' with normal reactions, which were better than the previously scheduled plots. Even better, it's like an old saying in our country of Hua, "If you plant flowers with intention, they won't bloom, but without intention, you will plant willows and willows to make shade."

The biggest hero is Heath Laijie.

Although there was an accident during the filming process, there will be no drama.

If it were other actors, they might stop performing.

Of course, Heath Leigh was too involved in the film. Even after the filming, he still maintained the behavior and action habits of the "clown" in the crew. Since he entered the film crew, he felt that Heath Leigh had never come out of the role of "clown".

The last sentence of Lu Chen's ancient phrase was spoken in Chinese. Fred listened to it in a daze. After an assistant translated, he finally understood the meaning. He gave Lu Chen Jian a thumbs up, "Director Lu, you are very literary."

"Mr. Fried, then this one is over? What do you think?" Lu Chen asked. Anyway, the other party is an investor, and sometimes he can't be too domineering in the crew.

"It's over. Director Lu, you are the chief director. You said it, and it's over." Fred laughed.

Lu Chen also called Heath Laijie and praised his performance in public. He also asked the demolition team to come and thank Heath Laijie. If he hadn't reacted on the spot, the blame would definitely have been shouldered by the demolition team.

"Director Lu, you have to choose the actors well." Fried stepped forward to flatter him, "Although Heath Laijie's performance just now was quite perfect, it still needs a pair of eyes to discover his talent, just like Hua There is an old saying in China, a thousand-mile horse often exists, but Bole does not often exist."

This ancient phrase was spoken in broken Chinese.

In the past few months, Frederick has been hungry for Chinese. He learned about the history of Huaguo in order to better communicate with Lu Chen.

Whether "The Dark Knight" can become a global hit depends entirely on Director Lu. Of course, he must please Director Lu and keep him in a happy mood while filming the movie.

"Mr. Fried, your Chinese is getting better and better now." Lu Chen praised with a smile, and then began to arrange the next work, and didn't have much time to chat with Fried.

Fred also knows what's going on, so don't bother Director Lu anymore, just be a transparent person in the crew.

America, September 2006, 9

"Batman: The Dark Knight" crew

Lu Chen arranges the final filming task in the movie
Recently, apart from the normal crew holidays, Lu Chen has devoted himself wholeheartedly to filming. The progress of filming has reached the final stage today.

Of course, there was one more thing to do this month, which only took two days.

On the 7th, I attended the listing ceremony of Xintongfang on the New York Stock Exchange, which was a platform for Xintongfang to be listed.

When Xindongfang is also going public, let’s promote director Lu Chen, who will shoot a movie about Xindongfang Education Group, so that Xindongfang will be more famous in the United States.

Xintongfang’s stock price has soared since its listing.

However, the shares that Xindongfang gave to Lu Chen cannot be sold for the time being, and they will not be sold until three years later.

Lu Chen didn't plan to sell immediately. Xindongfang's stock price was still going to rise, so he had to cash out at the highest point.

"Director Lu!" When the crew saw Lu Chen, they all greeted each other with excitement in their eyes.

After about three months of shooting, the movie finally ushered in the last shot.

Fred was full of smiles. The shooting progress is so lovely. If it were any other director, the shooting cycle would only take six months, but with Lu Dao, the shooting cycle was cut in half.

How much production cost will be saved!

In the past few months with the crew, Friede has also admired Director Lu even more. Director Lu is really efficient in making movies, and the quality is guaranteed. I really want Huana Brothers to continue to cooperate with Director Lu.

But I also know that this is impossible. Many Hollywood film companies are eyeing Director Lu and want to cooperate with him. Universal Pictures and Manville's conditions for Director Lu have already made the world's famous directors envious.

What's more, Director Lu also has his own company, Mars Film and Television, which is now the world's number one film company.

"You two, don't follow me." Lu Chen asked Liu Yifei and Gao Yuanyuan to rest aside, so as not to be a follower and affect his work.

"Oh~" Liu Yifei and Gao Yuanyuan had no choice but to sit back on their chairs.

As for "The King of Kung Fu" has been filmed, Liu Yifei did not return to China, but came to the crew of "Batman: The Dark Knight" to accompany her brother.

It's just that the senior brother always disappears in the middle of the night, or doesn't return overnight, which makes Liu Yifei feel a little unhappy, which was not the case with the senior senior brother before.

Before watching my brother fall asleep at night, I could still see my brother when I opened my eyes during the day, but now I don't necessarily know it is because Gao Yuanyuan is here.

"Every department is ready." Lu Chen held the walkie-talkie and controlled the audience, "action!"

'Batman', played by Christie Eucalyptus, disappears into the darkness while riding a Batmobile.

This is also the scene at the end of the movie.

In "Batman: The Dark Knight", it is different from the previous "Batman: Shadow Knight".

In this movie, Batman is completely overpowered by the villain, the Joker.

In the movie, Batman is led by the Joker.

At the end of the movie, Batman blamed Harvey on himself for killing those people. He was suspected by the public, misunderstood, and chased by the police.

In the end, he could only live in the darkness and continue to protect the city. This is consistent with the name of the movie. Batman became the Dark Knight.

It can be said that the 'Joker' in the movie "Batman: The Dark Knight" is the real protagonist.

Christie can also feel that Director Lu pays more attention to the "clown" played by Heath Laijie in the filming of the film. Of course, the other party's performance is indeed better.

"Crack!"

Lu Chen stood up and applauded, "The last scene is over, and the film is officially finished. Thank you for your hard work and dedication during the past three months."

"Yeah! It's done!"

The staff present were very excited, and some even picked up the champagne that had been prepared next to them, and celebrated wildly.

During this time, it was quite stressful.

The main reason is that Director Lu has strict requirements, and now he has finally completed the work smoothly and satisfactorily.

I also believe that the release of "Batman: The Dark Knight" will definitely let everyone see a different Batman and a different 'Joker'.

Everyone is even more confident that it will surpass the previous "Batman Begins", because this is directed by the world's No.1 young director Lu Chen.

Everyone sees the scenes shot every day, and they are full of confidence in the film.

"Director Lu, you've been working hard these past few months." Friede asked the tall female assistant to come over with two glasses of wine and wanted to have a drink with Director Lu.

"Wait a minute." Lu Chen bypassed Fred directly.

This made Friedel stunned on the spot.

being ignored?

If other directors had already lost their temper, they would not invest again next time.

It's Director Lu, so he just smiled and said, "Director Lu, it's okay, I'll wait for you."

Lu Chen came directly to Xislaijie.

Xislaijie, who was muttering to himself with his head lowered, noticed Director Lu coming over, immediately straightened his clothes and shouted respectfully, "Director Lu!"

I am very grateful to Director Lu for the opportunity.

Knowing that he could play the role of 'Joker', it was Director Lu who made the decision alone.

When Heath Laijie was a child, he liked the superhero story of Batman very much, and even copied Batman.

I just didn't expect that as an adult, instead of playing Batman, I would play Batman's biggest enemy in life, the Joker.

But now Heath Ledger prefers clowns.

"Your performance during this period has been great. I believe that when the movie is released, it will surprise many audiences." Lu Chen praised.

"Thank you, Director Lu!" Xislaijie bowed and thanked.

"You are no longer a clown." Lu Chen said seriously.

"Huh?" Xislaijie was stunned for a moment, his face full of confusion, not understanding what Director Lu meant when he suddenly said this.

"The filming is over, it's time to return to the normal world. You are Heath Laijie now, and you have to live a normal life." Lu Chen deliberately came to Heath Laijie to say this.

I also hope that Xislaijie will not follow the old path of his previous life, because of mental problems, he took medicine and died accidentally.

"Director Lu, what do you want to say to me?" Xislaijie asked, feeling particularly puzzled, that is, Director Lu, if someone else said that, Xislaijie might not talk to him again.

"Director Lu, chat with Heath Laijie, don't delay drinking." Fried handed over a glass of red wine himself, "Director Lu, you have really worked hard these days."

"I will make arrangements tonight. I must let Director Lu relax. As for Liu Yifei and Ms. Gao Yuanyuan, I have arrangements. They will not disturb Director Lu. There will be new hot girls accompanying you."

"Hot girl, how hot is it?" Lu Chen took the red wine and asked with a smile.

"It must be very spicy." Fried and Lu Chen looked at each other and laughed. Men know everything.

"Director Lu, I'm leaving first." Xislaijie bowed and was about to leave the crew.

Now the film is wrapped.

Everyone is happy.

However, Heath was not very happy when he came to Jay because he could no longer play the 'Joker'.

Lu Chen was about to persuade him to stay, so he tried to persuade him, now that the filming is over, Heath Laijie doesn't need to maintain this crazy state.

Besides, there will be a wrap-up banquet for the movie later, everyone wants to get together and have fun.

"Director Lu, let me arrange everything tonight." Fried stopped Lu Chen, and whispered in his ear: "Director Lu, don't be too concerned about Heath Laijie, sometimes too much care may hurt yourself. cause trouble."

"After all, Xislaijie's mind is not very normal at the moment. People like this should stay away in life. Now that the filming is over, there is no need for you as a director to take care of the actors' life."

The explosion scene in the previous movie was so close to the blasting site, Heath Laijie was not afraid at all, Fried felt that this person was different from normal people,
Of course, playing the role of "clown" in such a state is indeed excellent, and I have to admire Director Lu Chen's unique vision again.

Lu Chen was stunned for a moment. From Fried's words, he understood that Hollywood filmmakers are all about the word "profit".

"Director Lu, don't think about these things anymore. Let's hurry over and arrange all the programs tonight, and I guarantee you will be satisfied." Fried said proudly, "In the few days before Director Lu returns to China, I will pay for all the expenses. .”

"I have to go back to China tomorrow." Now that the filming is over, Lu Chen has to go back to China. As for the post-production work of the film, he will come back after the domestic affairs are done.

"Director Lu, why are you in such a hurry? "Kung Fu Panda" will be released in China, and there are still a few days left?" Fred said that he would go back the day before it was released.

Filming during this period was hard work, and I had to enjoy it in America anyway.

As for Director Lu's latest movie "Kung Fu Panda", the popularity is already full.

It can be seen that Director Lu's works are strong.

I heard that the film "Flags of Our Fathers" produced by DreamWorks was originally planned to be released in October, but it was moved up and released earlier in order to avoid the animated film "Kung Fu Panda" directed by Director Lu.

From the popularity of "Kung Fu Panda" in the world and the audience's expectations, Fried thought that once the film was released, it would probably break many records of animated films in the world.

"I still have some work to do when I return to China, so I have to go back early." Lu Chen wanted to go back to China to meet Ge You, Zhang Ziyi and other top Chinese movie stars.

They made a lot of phone calls before, expressing their desire to participate in "The Wandering Earth", and they happened to return to China to talk with them in detail. There are too many big names, and it is actually not easy to arrange in the movie.

"That's it." Fried didn't force it, knowing that Director Lu is a very busy person, that is to say, Director Lu is very efficient at work, otherwise he would be so busy with so many tasks at hand, "Director Lu, how about tonight?" Relax and relax, originally I found eight hot girls and planned to let them take turns serving you Director Lu in the next few days, but now it seems that we have to arrange it together tonight."

"How many?" Lu Chen was surprised.

Friedby made an eight sign, and no longer said it in English, but said it in a very non-standard Chinese, "eight...one."
