Superstar

The preparation team is testing a highlight to be filmed tomorrow. With the sports car and the bus driving side by side at a constant speed, Jack jumps from the sports car to the bus. This is definitely the highest test for the actors and the props.

First, the sports car and the bus must run side by side at a constant speed, and the two must be at the same speed, and the distance between the two must be consistent. Secondly, the speed control should not be too fast, so that the actors cannot complete the action and the shooting cannot be smooth. At the same time, it should not be too slow, otherwise the effect of the shooting will not be enough, and it will not be able to show the audience the realism of the "fifty miles" running, nor will it bring the pleasure of challenging impossible tasks; the last is the action of the actor, a If you are not careful, you may get caught under the car, causing life-threatening danger, even if it is just injury.

So, for the filming of this scene, the crew has set up a special preparation team to prepare. Of course, it is not only for this scene. There will also be two cars driving side by side in the subsequent shooting. It can be said that this is also the case. One of the most important difficulties in the filming process.

Hugo walked towards the preparation team. At this time they were testing the speed. The stuntman Igor Phoenix (iker.) stood on the trailer on the left and was about to jump towards the trailer on the right. In practice, two trailers are used in parallel, which means that there is enough space to take off and land.

In the actual shooting, the most difficult part is that the actor landing space is only a small space on the bus door staircase, which puts forward higher requirements for the accuracy of the actor's take-off and landing. During the practice, the staff also drew the boundaries with chalk on the trailer according to the size of the bus, hoping that Igor could land according to the established position.

Obviously, this is not an easy task. When Hugo walked over, he happened to see Igor rise into the air and land on the trailer on the right. In fact, the distance between the two trailers is not very large. The visual inspection is almost two feet (60 cm). This also takes into account the trajectory and speed of the two vehicles during the operation. There is space left. In fact, it is the fault-tolerant space— —Even if there is a deviation in the running route of a car that is not stable enough, there will be no problems.

A distance of two feet is not too difficult for an adult's jumping ability. But considering the car's speed of 30 miles per hour (50 kilometers per hour) at this time, this is a difficult task. Although thirty miles is much lower than the 50 miles per hour (about 80 kilometers) set in the movie, it is already the maximum speed allowed by the staff. If it is faster, the situation will be out of control and the actor may be injured. It is bound to rise rapidly.

Watching Igor quickly take off, vacated, stayed in the air, and finally landed, Hugo only felt as if he was watching the slow motion of a bullet hiding in the "Matrix", and the sound of admiration came out involuntarily. However, the staff standing on the trailer shook their heads at Igor. Judging from their movements, Igor finally landed beyond the scope of the "bus door". If I go into actual combat, Igor will either hit his head. The ground went into a coma, or it was ejected by the rebound force and fell out of the car.

The trailer stopped and everyone was discussing the results of the exercise just now. Hugo hesitated for a moment, and temporarily left the thoughts about driving behind him, and walked up quickly, "Hey, guys."

The second assistant director, Alexander (Alexander.) saw Hugo's figure and couldn't help but laughed bitterly, "You're here again, does Jane know?"

Hugo jumped onto the stationary trailer, greeted the preparation team members expertly, and then smiled to Alexander and said, "If you don't say it, he doesn't know. I have a 30-minute break."

Alexander looked in Jane's direction embarrassedly, standing still at a loss. Alexander is the head of the preparation team and has been preparing for the next shooting recently. Because this scene is very difficult, and different from the previous bomb scenes or action scenes, everything can be controlled. This scene requires the perfection of every link to complete, and the agility of the actor is a necessary condition. one.

After comprehensive consideration, Jane believes that Hugo must not be allowed to play in this scene in person, especially after experiencing the accident of the explosion, Jane has strengthened her own ideas, so she made a decision, and this scene will be played by a substitute.

Before the filming started, Jane hired a professional stuntman, Igor, who was trained in a professional action school and was only one year older than Hugo. Most importantly, his body shape and Hugo is basically the same, and he is not only very solid in martial arts, but also superb in driving skills. He is also a drag racing stuntman. So now it's Igor's turn to show off.

But the problem is that Hugo has always insisted that this scene be played in person, because this scene is a key part of stimulating adrenaline. Hugo hopes to present as real effects as possible, which is the essence of his action movies. Just like when filming "Schindler's List", Hugo hopes to use his performance to maximize the meaning of the role, even in action movies.

But no matter how Hugo fights, Jane is unwilling to let go. In desperation, Hugo could only sneak into the preparation group to practice. During the practice, the trailer had a relatively large display space, and the speed of the car was slowly rising from ten miles. The most important thing is that the actors can fully adapt to this set. Process. Therefore, Hugo's practice in the preparation group progressed very smoothly.

After that, Hugo has been taking advantage of the shooting time, even his spare time after the shooting, to practice and prepare in the preparation team, which is really a torment for Alexander. On the one hand, Alexander witnessed the growth of Hugo with his own eyes. He understood that Hugo’s ability was not as professional as Igor, but it was definitely not inferior; but on the other hand, Alexander also knew that he could not go against the wishes of the director.

But in the end Alexander was persuaded by Hugo. The actor's dedication always admires them, and the substitute is the second choice when absolutely impossible. Otherwise, the actors can complete the work, which has always been the expectation of all the crew. of. Moreover, Alexander believes that no matter how well Hugo practices here, Jane will finally decide. Therefore, instead of letting Hugo play without practice, it is better to let Hugo practice here.

Alexander looked at Hugo, who was eager to try, but finally he could not help but withdraw his gaze, "Are you going to try it once?"

Hugo nodded, "Of course, I'm already active, so let's try it directly."

Hugo knows very clearly that driving is a demon to him, if he wants to break the shackles of the demon, he must be fully prepared. A psychiatrist is one way, but it is also a way to constantly challenge one's own limits. Hugo has never been a coward, and he can always fight back with his head upright.

So, maybe, if he can complete this scene, he can try to simply drive-at least start and set off can be done, even at ten miles of snail speed, this can also make the film complete. Maybe Hugo is afraid of the car driving at high speed-the speed that may cause a car accident, not the driving itself. Maybe.

"Hugo, you have come to grab my job again." Igor stood on the opposite trailer and said to Hugo with a smile.

Igor also has Jewish ancestry, but he comes from his father, so he can only be regarded as a half Jew. He has sharp features and clear outlines. He is also a handsome boy, plus that manly sweat and muscles, as a man. The charm cannot be underestimated. This is also the reason why Jane chose him as a substitute for Hugo. Apart from the figure, the difference in appearance should not be too big, otherwise it will be very difficult to shoot.

After Igor entered the crew, he has not yet started to work, because Hugo has all personally played and completed all the filming. In fact, this is a good thing for stunt actors, because they are still paid regardless of whether they are on the stage or not. The actor is willing to go to the battle in person, but the stuntman should breathe a sigh of relief. After all, the role of a stuntman is very dangerous. A stuntman is a profession that walks on a tightrope at any time. It can minimize the work and keep the salary unchanged. Naturally it couldn't be better.

To tell the truth, Igor's dedication to Hugo is also a good look, especially Hugo is now in a rising period, and he also took over such a work that no one is optimistic about, only 6 million US dollars. The pay is not high, but Hugo still does not have any slackness, and meticulously completed all the filming work. Such an actor is worthy of admiration no matter where he goes.

Hugo gave Igor a thumbs up~www.readwn.com~ and said with a smile, "The drag racing scene will be handed over to you, so don't worry that you won't have the chance to be photographed today." In fact, most of the stand-in actors will more or less have the desire to be a real star actor someday. Although they have always been stand-ins, outstanding acting directors, screenwriters, and producers will see it. The future may be action movies. When new people need to be activated in the movie, they will enter the director's line of sight.

Igor was also amused by Hugo's ridicule, and then he heard Hugo say, "You just tried it once, is it still too strong?"

Hugo is not a professional action actor, so he has been tirelessly asking Igor for advice, hoping to learn more skills so that he can successfully complete the whole movie. Igor is not a hidden person. After all, it is not easy to work as a substitute. Even if an actor is willing to learn, it is not so easy. Therefore, after finally encountering a soulmate, Igor is very willing to share.

"Yes, I was moving forward a little too fast, and the height of the upward direction was not enough. The arc did not come out. You can try to make the arc higher." Igor said as he made a move upward. Stretching posture.

Hugo nodded to express understanding, and then patted his hands, "Then let's try it again!"
