King of Rolls' China Entertainment Tour

Chapter 302 Racing? How come you feel so good?

After the reporter's Q&A, everyone came to the movie start-up site.

The first thing that caught everyone's eyes was a big cauldron with a bunch of salutes beside it, and some staff members were holding sticks of incense in their hands.

Many reporters were confused when they saw this, not understanding what was going on.

A knowledgeable person explained to the people around him: "I know that this is a mysterious ritual in China. In China, they will hold this kind of ceremony every time they have major events or important festivals. It is said that they can get mysterious blessings.

I have heard of this ritual before filming, but this is the first time I have seen it with my own eyes. However, this ritual cannot be interrupted, otherwise it will make people very unhappy. "

In the eyes of everyone's curiosity, confusion, and confusion, Yu Hao led the crew to burn incense one after another and muttered something.

Amidst the blast of firecrackers, Yu Hao shouted: "'Fast and Furious' is officially launched."

After shooting a simple shot, the eating mode started.

The reporters present were confused, and most of the crew were also confused.

You created such a big scene and ended it with a simple shot? Is it a little too sloppy?

Immediately, a reporter couldn't help but asked curiously: "Yu, what is the significance of this kind of ceremony in your country?"

Yu Hao looked at everyone's doubtful eyes and smiled and said: "Of course it makes sense. This kind of ritual has been passed down in our country for thousands of years. It has explanations from both a scientific and mystical perspective. It's not completely untrue. meaningful."

Everyone looked confused. They could understand it from a mystical perspective, but from a scientific perspective? Is it too ridiculous?

Seeing this, Yu Hao laughed and said: "In our country, there is a saying that you must meditate first before any big things happen. The same is true for this ceremony. After this ceremony is held, it tells everyone that you need to concentrate on doing business.

As for the occult perspective, to put it simply, I wish the crew all the best from filming to release. I don’t necessarily have to ask for anything, just for peace of mind. "

Everyone suddenly realized that this seemed to make sense.

But someone said doubtfully: "Yu, Hollywood directors don't have this rule when filming. They can also make big-selling movies. Isn't this a bit redundant? According to Chinese, you should do as the Romans do, and you should do the same."

Yu Hao chuckled and said: "Of course I know this, but everyone has their own culture. They don't have to follow it, but I have to follow it. This is also a kind of inheritance of culture.

I don't think there's anything bad about this culture. Anyway, as long as I'm filming, I will continue this ritual. "

Everyone suddenly understood.

Another reporter asked: "Yu, are you wasting your time? After such a big scene, you just shot a simple shot and ended the first day of shooting? Isn't it too sloppy?"

Yu Hao smiled and said, "No, I think the first day of filming is just like going to work on Monday. Everyone feels a little uncomfortable. I think it's good to give everyone the time to adjust on the last day, and it won't waste the day's work."

Ke Shouliang and the others were amazed when they saw Yu Hao explaining the incense culture seriously.

I thought Yu Hao would be embarrassed when explaining this kind of thing, but I didn't expect that he would be so comfortable and even feel a faint sense of pride.

I thought of some people inexplicably in my mind. If they were those people, would they feel ashamed? Wouldn't you even do that at all?

The old people in the crew are no strangers to this, this is Yu Hao's usual way.

After the launch conference, Jack found Yu Hao and said: "Yu, the rest of the work will be left to you. If you have any questions, please contact me at any time. I think the cooperation between you and our company's producers should be very pleasant." ?”

Yu Hao smiled and said: "It's very pleasant, but with the helicopter, the connection with the venue, some extras, the road blockade, the connection with the local police station, I have to trouble Jack and the people from your company."

Jack laughed and said: "That's right. As long as you have reasonable needs, people from our company will help you contact them. By the way, do you need additional cameras and other behind-the-scenes personnel?

I feel that if you really want to shoot that kind of big scene, you alone are not enough. You need the cooperation of every team. "

Yu Hao thought for a moment and said, "Okay, if it's convenient, help me make more arrangements."

Jack smiled and said: "No problem, how many groups of people do you need?"

Yu Hao thought for a while and said: "I have three director groups here for the time being. Now it seems that it is indeed not enough. If it is convenient for me to add to 10 groups, the subsequent shooting progress will be much faster."

Jack nodded, and then asked meaningfully: "Yu, you have never filmed a racing plot before. Do you know how to film these plots well?"

Yu Hao raised his eyebrows and asked with interest: "Jack, could it be that you have something more convenient?"

Jack smiled proudly and said: "That's natural. Our Hollywood film industry is very prosperous. Movies of various styles can be made, and racing-related ones are no exception. They all have professional technology and teams.

If you don’t have any ready-made ideas, I can arrange for someone to guide you. I have no doubts about your directing skills. We are all doing it for the movie, so I hope you don’t mind. "

Yu Hao laughed and said: "Although I have never done any shooting myself, I know the theoretical knowledge, such as shooting on the highway,

Commonly, one is to use a special machine to fix the camera and the car together, so that the car will really drive very fast; the other is to use compositing, which is to shoot the car first and put a blower or the like in front to create the illusion that the car is moving. , and then take a picture of the street scene while driving, and put the two pictures together,

Of course, this is just the basics. You can also use some auxiliary techniques, such as fixing the camera on the car and letting a professional driver drive, or techniques such as hand shake, aerial photography, car-mounted photography, and car photography. "

After hearing this, Jack looked at Yu Hao in surprise and said in surprise: "I didn't expect you to be really prepared. I thought you didn't know, but these are all theories.

For the sake of funding for our crew, I have arranged for professional people to come and assist you. I hope you don't mind. "

Yu Hao shrugged and said with a smile: "How could it be? It's for the sake of the movie, but it can't affect the crew's normal creation. If it can't be done, I would rather spend more money and spend more time."

Jack raised his eyebrows and said, "That's natural. In addition, the helicopter is always ready. If necessary, just ask the producer of our company to contact us directly."

Yu Hao smiled and said, "Okay."

In the afternoon of the next day, the crew came to an empty street and started filming the first shopping scene of the movie.

At this time, three sports cars, a large truck, several spare vehicles, large cranes on the vehicle were ready, and the camera track had been laid.

Looking at Ke Shouliang and others who were communicating, Yu Hao asked again: "Brother Hei, are you sure you can do it perfectly? This is no joke."

Ke Shouliang said with a relaxed smile: "Isn't it just driving under the truck? I have filmed it many times. I just talked with this brother. As long as we control our respective speeds, I guarantee that there will be no problems. ,

Besides, Director Yu, you bought such a high amount of insurance, even if something happens, it won’t have any big impact, and it will be enough for our family to live comfortably for the rest of our lives. "

The Asian car god Zeng Fanren on the side also looked very relaxed, but the few drivers hired by Warner were a little nervous.

The Warner producer frowned and said to Yu Hao: "Yu, how about we finish it with special effects? I think this is too dangerous. It would be bad if something happens. It might even cause trouble, which would delay the progress of the crew. of."

Yu Hao frowned and said: "No, this kind of play is not very difficult. If you rehearse it a few times, there should be no problems.

This is just the beginning. If we use special effects now, how will we shoot the dangerous actions later? It can’t all be done in the studio, right? That's too fake,

Besides, the crew’s security measures are so good, so don’t worry. Let’s just let them try it out first. If they can’t do it, then we’ll think about the special effects. "The Warner producer shrugged and left helplessly.

Not long after, Ke Shouliang was ready, and the driver Warner found made an OK gesture.

Yu Hao then said to the two of them: "You two, try it first to see if you can cooperate well. You must pay attention to safety."

The two nodded and then began the performance.

Yu Hao was on standby in the ambulance arranged by the crew, and then waited expectantly for their performance.

DiCaprio, Jason, Julie, and Annie watched the two people's performance nervously.

Anne whispered: "Do you think they can do it? I feel very dangerous."

Julie smiled and said: "There should be no problem. Even if something happens, there will be an ambulance ready. I am worried about the shots of us. This is a dangerous move. If something happens..."

Jason swallowed involuntarily.

Li Zi smiled and said: "No, haven't we all signed an agreement in this regard? When there are difficult moves, we will switch to professional drivers. All we have to do is to do various poses."

Julie joked: "Leo, aren't you afraid of something happening? If something happens, your beauty will be gone."

DiCaprio chuckled and said, "Not really, but it would be okay if something unexpected happens. In this way, I can better prove my strength with my acting skills."

Not long after, the performance of the two officially began. At the beginning, the two tried it at a relatively slow speed. After finding that there was no problem, Ke Shouliang said to the driver: "Brother, can we go faster later?"

The other party picked up the walkie-talkie and said, "Ke, are you sure?"

Ke Shouliang smiled and said: "I'm sure you can give it a try. It's not too difficult for us. As long as the performance is done well, it will definitely be an honor in the history of racing movies. What do you think?"

The person on the other side smiled and said, "Okay, let's try it together."

Immediately, in the shocked eyes of Yu Hao and others, Ke Shouliang's car emerged from underneath, then the truck accelerated, and then Ke Shouliang's car also accelerated, and then it got into the ground again.

After seeing that the two of them were in no danger, Yu Hao breathed a sigh of relief.

The two tried this again and again on this road until they felt there was danger before returning. At this time, the speed of the car was already very high.

After getting off the car, Ke Shouliang smiled at Yu Hao and said, "Director Yu, it's no problem."

Yu Hao gave a thumbs up and said with a smile: "As expected of Ke Daring, but we must also pay attention to safety. This is the most important thing. It doesn't matter if the movie is not made, but it will be bad if something happens to you."

Ke Shouliang smiled shyly and said, "Thank you, Director Yu, for your concern, but we also have a sense of propriety."

While the two were resting, Yu Hao arranged the scene again.

After everything was ready, Yu Hao picked up the loudspeaker and shouted: "One shot, two shots, one shot, action."

Under nightfall, the truck started up. Sun Cheng sat in another car with a camera in hand. The helicopter in the sky also started to take off, and the other two drivers followed in their sports cars.

Then, two cars followed. One car was not far away from the truck and kept a constant speed. Then, a man appeared from the sunroof, took out the props, and removed the glass of the truck in one fell swoop.

Then, another car came forward and directly locked the passenger seat of the truck. Then he rushed up and climbed up through the window. Then he started to snatch the steering wheel, and then threw the driver out of the driving seat.

Then, an exciting scene happened. After the truck arrived at the construction section, Ke Shouliang's sports car went directly under the truck at high speed, and then ran forward at a constant speed.

Just like that, the first scene was completely shot.

After the filming was completed, everyone at the scene breathed a sigh of relief, and their excited hearts slowly relaxed. Just watching it on the scene felt very exciting.

However, Yu Hao still felt that it was not exciting enough, so he called Sun Cheng, Zeng Fanren, and Sun Cheng to discuss it.

Yu Hao said to a few people: "Guys, I think this scene is not exciting enough, especially the traffic jam. Can you rush over when you are two or three car bodies away from the obstacle? It is best to go faster."

Sun Cheng smiled bitterly and said, "Director Yu, this is already very exciting. If we continue, there may be some danger."

Ke Shouliang's eyes lit up, he rubbed his chin and said, "You can give it a try. In this case, the extraordinaryness of these people will be more clearly demonstrated and the audience will have a more profound experience."

Zeng Fanren reminded: "In fact, the speed does not have to be very fast, as long as it shows that the relative speed is fast."

Yu Hao smiled and said, "Let's try it first."

For the second time, the previous scenes were not filmed again, and the scene of passing through the chassis at high speed was directly shot.

After testing it two or three times to make sure there was no problem, we started the operation.

This time, Yu Hao placed a camera at the entrance to the construction section.

The truck rushed to the obstacles at a speed of 120, knocking some obstacles several meters away. Then, the sports car driven by Ke Shouliang got under the truck at a very smart angle a few meters away from the obstacles.

At this time, Yu Hao's hands were full of sweat. This shot was very dangerous and could easily go wrong.

It wasn't until several cars stopped safely that Yu Hao breathed a sigh of relief.

After a day of editing, the crew began filming the street racing scene the next day. For this scene, Yu Hao hired a lot of Hollywood extras. There were handsome men and beautiful women everywhere, including a lot of Brother Ni.
