~： Four hundred and seventy - smooth shooting

Hearing the producer's suggestion, Wayne froze for a moment, then glanced up at Charles Rowan, and after confirming that the other party's expression was full of seriousness, he shook his head helplessly. "It may change for future DC comics, but it's not possible now, and Batman is not suitable for that."

More that he didn't say clearly, DC movies that are young and popcorn? Batman and Robin? ! He would never do that unless he had a blister on his head.

Since he is one of the shareholders of Warner Bros., he definitely hopes that the profit of the film will be as high as possible, but under the circumstance that the dark-style Batman has already achieved success, there is absolutely no need to risk changing the style and continue the success of the previous work. The style is the mainstream way of doing things in Hollywood.

Another point is that his main business is a director. Originally, shooting non-mainstream movies such as superheroes is already a very strange choice. If the film production is just popcorn, it will only make the film become a Hollywood assembly line. One of the cargoes, which doesn't do him much good for the future.

Whether it's a superhero movie or not, Wayne will stick to his own production style. The ultimate personal style full of darkness, humanity, and social attributes is his biggest advantage different from others, and it is also the place where he adds the most points.

"Boss, it's time to start."

Gilmour ran over and knocked on the director's monitor, interrupting their chat about the movie. "I have already taken the actors to practice their positions a few times just now, and all departments are ready."

Wayne nodded and grabbed the loudspeaker on the table. The scene gradually quieted down, and the staff all looked over to the director's seat.

"light?"

"Ok!"

"Photography crew?"

"The camera crew is fine!"

With his final confirmation, after getting the photography, props, lighting, scenery, recording and other work ready, he nodded to the on-set recorder and said, "Let's start."

"The Dark Knight, Scene 1, Act 1, Start Now!"

After getting the director's signal, the scene record immediately laid down the board in his hand. After countless preparations, the first scene finally officially started shooting.

The director of photography, Robert, controlled the main camera No. 1 hanging on the cantilever, and accurately conveyed the close-up of several actors in the scene to the director's monitor in front of Wayne.

The scene of the robber robbing the bank is being filmed. Several actors are wearing clown masks. After hearing the sound of the screeching board, they immediately moved according to the previous practice.

Because the actors wear masks on their faces, the difficulty of the performance is greatly reduced. As we all know, all the actors' expressions and movements, even the slightest changes in their expressions, will be accurately captured by the camera. Put down a lot of performance baggage.

Besides, the meaning of the existence of these robbers is actually to reflect the power of the clown. Basically, there is no situation where the camera only chases a certain actor.

In the director's monitor, several robbers wearing clown masks were well-trained and had a clear division of labor to control the bank staff. Wayne looked at it and nodded silently.

"cut! The performance is good, the team members are reset, let's do it again."

The ten-second shot ended quickly, and Wayne shouted into the loudspeaker. In fact, this one already met his standard of use, but this was the first one, and he could keep one or two more, for the sake of Do a little more preparation for post-editing work.

"Ha, Wayne."

Nicholas Cage, holding the same clown mask in his hand, stood next to the director's monitor. After hearing him shout, he suddenly joked. "I bet the guy you faced at noon, if they were as well-trained as they were, you would be lying in the hospital right now."

"Shit, that's impossible."

While ticking the shooting plan on the first page of the director's notebook, Wayne said without raising his head: "Nikola, why do you think I dare to go out? Don't think that it is because of my courage. , when faced with bullets, courage is worse than shit! Why do you think I take Sergey with me wherever I go?"

In fact, as long as the opponent is a person, the probability of hurting him is really infinitely low. No matter how well-trained an ordinary person is, they are nowhere near as fast as a retired special forces instructor.

[To tell the truth, recently I have been using Mimi to read and read books to keep up with updates, switch sources, and read aloud tones, which can be used by Android and Apple. 】

"Listen, you'll be performing with a mask on for a while, so don't screw me up!"

Glancing at Nicolas Cage who was doing nothing, Wayne gave a serious warning. "These two days are your one-man show, it's better to hurry up and get me into the performance state, otherwise..."

"Hey, I understand, I understand."

Nicolas Cage hurriedly raised his hands, made a look of surrender, stepped back and left the director's seat, mumbling non-stop.

"Damn, he still hasn't changed at all, and he has turned into an ice cube face when he works..."

"Wayne has always been like that, hasn't it?"

Lighting team leader Steve Wilson heard his muttering and reached out and patted her on the shoulder. "It's almost all your part these days, which shows that Wayne trusts you very much. Nikolai, I bet you, if you screw up in a while, you will endure more cold violence and torture."

"Steve! If you like to chat, I'll find a time and place for you to chat. Now, go and adjust the **** lights for me!"

Before the two could say a few more words, the scene immediately remembered Wayne's shouting from the loudspeaker. Steve Wilson shrugged and hurried back to his work.

"The Dark Knight, Scene 1, Act 1, and Second Time Now!"

With the shouts of the on-set recorder, the filming started again, just like the previous time, the actors and crew performed very well, and Wayne could hardly find any faults.

After years of hard work and accumulation, the behind-the-scenes working groups of the crew are almost all old people. Since the main team members have not changed much, the biggest advantage is that they have enough tacit understanding compared to the improvised crew.

The long-term work cooperation allowed everyone to adapt to Wayne's work style. The crew directly saved the time of running in with each other, so that the filming performed very smoothly from the beginning.

Similar to this kind of cutscenes, there were almost no problems. After a few shots were taken, they could be called after three or four repetitions at most. Even Wayne himself was surprised.

He was originally planning to finish shooting the robbers in the bank hall on the first day, and then it would be better to shoot two scenes of the clowns appearing. Unexpectedly, before four o'clock in the afternoon, Nicolas Cage would appear in advance.

"Listen, you're not like them, ahh? Even with the mask on, I want you to be as effective as it should be, ok?"

In the middle of the bank hall, Gilmour was directing the actors to stand, and Weeks Hart was directing the props team, with bags of money that would be used for a while, and Wayne grabbed Nicholas while setting up the shooting scene. -Cage, keep exhorting.

"You should be clear about your weight in this film. I will be very strict with all your shots. Even if one look makes me feel that the performance is not in place, I will let you repeat it, huh?"

"give it to me."

Nicolas Cage nodded, buckled the mask directly to his face, grabbed the prop pistol in his hand, and squatted on the ground to start the performance state.

This is his chance, he knows the meaning of this film, although the name is Batman, but in fact the most charismatic character is the Joker, he has worked so hard for this role, and he is waiting for this moment.

After a short time, the two actors in the field immediately began to perform as the board was laid down. The same clown mask, one of them suddenly raised a gun, pointed at Nicolas Cage, and said, "I bet the clown told you to wait for us to load the money into the car, and then kill me!"

"Oh, no, no, nonono!"

Nicolas Cage, wearing a mask, spoke in a relaxed tone, raised his wrist, and glanced at the time. "I was responsible for killing the school bus driver."

"School bus driver? What school bus driver?"

The two faced each other, constantly moving their positions.

"cut!"

Wayne's voice rang through the loudspeaker throughout the bank hall, and the two actors who were performing were relieved at the same time after hearing the director's voice.

"How is it? Do you want to do it again?"

Gilmour waited for a long time, and found that Wayne had been staring at the monitor, and kissed in doubt Let the school bus prepare. "

Raised his head and let out a long breath, Wayne looked at the assistant director and said. "No problem with this one, Nikolai, I can't fault it at all."

"Props, set up the scene!"

Gilmour turned around immediately and ran towards the props group.

Whether it is because of the mask or not, Nicolas Cage's performance is commendable, especially the voice, which reveals madness with ease, even Wayne can't really pick out too many problems. In the subsequent filming, except for the scene where the school bus smashed into the wall, which was repeated several times, the literary drama was almost always called once or twice.

No one expected that the filming efficiency would be so high on the first day. When Wayne announced the end of work, the original plan for a day was filmed in half a day.

"The hardships he suffered, now it seems, are completely worth it."

I don't know when, Nina quietly returned to Wayne's side and sighed at the clown who was walking towards the makeup remover.

"What are you trying to say? What can't beat you will make you stronger in the end, right?"

Wayne was also in a very good mood. He whistled and drew a big tick on the first page of the shooting plan.

Shrugging, Nina starts to help him pack his belongings. "Nice description, how's your cold, boss? Are you still feeling sick?"

"Apart from feeling that I have no strength, my head was frightened by what happened at noon, but I am much more awake."

Mentioning this, the two frowned at the same time. They both knew that tomorrow would be the start of the media storm.

Before getting into the car, Wayne clucked his lips, temporarily suppressing all disturbing thoughts, and instructed the assistant: "Nina, contact the Chinese restaurant we ate in New York last time, we will have Chinese food for dinner. "
