~： Four hundred and eighty-three - false blasting rumors

In a temporary studio set up in the suburbs of New York, the pyrotechnic team and the prop team gathered together. In the center surrounded by the crowd, there was a model that looked like a hospital building. This is a temporary imitation made by the props team. Although it looks very rough from the outside, the materials are relatively solid. Everything is trying to simulate the real concrete building.

"Director Greenberg, there is no problem here."

The head of the props team, Weeks Hart, confirmed it again with the pyrotechnician. After getting a positive answer, he turned around and waved in the direction of the director, and shouted.

"Ok, tell everyone to back off."

Hearing the prop manager's shout, Wayne turned around and gave a loud command. After speaking, he turned his head, looked at the soundtrack master in front of him, and shrugged apologetically. "Excuse me, John, wait a moment for me."

The white old man with white beard and hair smiled, raised his hand and patted Wayne's shoulder without hesitation, and said, "It doesn't matter, I changed the schedule temporarily. If I want to come to the crew in advance to experience the shooting atmosphere, you are busy first, I'll visit at will."

"Okay, we'll talk later."

Ignoring John Williams, who arrived early, Wayne turned around and hurried to the prop model, frowned for a while, and then nodded in satisfaction.

He doesn't know how to operate the blasting. Those are the tasks that the pyrotechnic team and the props team should do. He just put forward his own needs, and then asked them to simulate the best effect first. The model in front of him is at least as good as the real one. The buildings are very similar.

"let's start."

Following Wayne's signal, everyone began to step back at the same time. Although the amount of gunpowder in the simulated blasting was very small, there was basically no danger, but no one could guarantee that if the distance was too close, it would collapse and fly. shards scratched.

In the observation of everyone, the scale building model suddenly burst into flames, accompanied by a low "boom" sound, the main body of the building on one side was filled with smoke and dust.

Different from the staff who observed from a distance, Wayne stood behind the makeshift monitor, staring at the blasting screen through the smoke and dust, while silently counting, 1, 2, 3, 4.... When more than ten seconds passed, the low explosion sound came again.

From the picture captured by the camera, it is very clear that the building completely disintegrated in the second explosion. Maybe this will be different from the real live shooting, but the effect he wants has been obtained by the props team and the pyrotechnic team. Perfectly expressed.

"Ok, that's it."

With the two explosions, the staff of the pyrotechnics team and the props team looked at the director at the same time, until Wayne smiled, applauded, and kept nodding, and everyone was relieved.

No one knew what the young director was thinking. Seeing that the filming was about to end, he made a strange request for the most important blasting scene. No way, this is the other party's crew, this is the other party's project, although such a request is very strange, but the pyrotechnic team and the props team can only find a way to solve the controllable delayed blasting problem.

"Hank."

After waving his hand to call the pyrotechnic supervisor, Wayne put away his smile and started exhorting seriously. "Hank, we don't have a backup option. The crew started from buying this abandoned hospital building and now it's laid out as needed. The cost of money and time can't be wasted, so there is no chance for this blasting shot, so Say, don't screw it up, or..."

"yep."

Pyrotechnic supervisor Hank Connor nodded with a smile, and jokingly said, "Don't worry, I understand, otherwise everyone will leave us in this **** New York and won't be able to spend Christmas with our family. Don't worry, boss. , I have promised my youngest daughter that I will rush back to Los Angeles to accompany her before Christmas."

Raised his wrist and glanced at the time, Wayne raised his hand and patted the other's arm in satisfaction, and warned him again before leaving. "Make sure to pay attention to safety! Remember, safety is more important than anything else!"

Staring at the pyrotechnicians packing up their things and starting to leave the studio to set up bombing sites in the abandoned building, his eyes gradually fell into memory.

This blasting scene of the clown bombing the hospital can be said to be one of the classic scenes of "The Dark Knight", especially under Heath Ledger's classic interpretation, as long as ordinary movie fans who have seen it will leave an indelible impression. .

He remembered very clearly that the first time he saw this scene, the clown showed his crazy charm to the fullest. This guy who does not want money, fame and fortune, has his own set of perfect crime concepts, through this scene, it can be said that the characters are completely transformed. sublimated.

On the big screen, almost everyone in the audience saw the explosion sound, and then the confident clown turned his head in surprise, drummed and slapped the remote control, and when the second explosion sounded again, the first feeling was real, and then he immediately thought of it. , This is the mistake of the fireworks crew. The clown saved this mistake through his superb acting skills, making this scene a classic.

But in fact it's the exact opposite. This classic, which is talked about by movie fans, is completely reposted and circulated, and it becomes more and more evil. With the passage of time, it seems that the pyrotechnicians of the rumored crew made a mistake. , there was an accident in the middle of the blasting, and it was entirely by Heath Ledger's on-the-spot performance and improvisation that this expensive blasting scene was completely saved into an indelible classic.

But after the movie was released, the director team and the behind-the-scenes fireworks team clarified in an interview that the director team originally planned this before filming this scene, in order to reflect the truth of the clown's madness.

This is the main reason why Wayne asked the props team to cooperate with the pyrotechnic team to simulate the blasting effect in advance. As he said, the scene of bombing the building was actually filmed, and the crew only made this choice, which is completely different from the shooting of the actors' rival scenes. After the filming starts, it can only be successful once, and there is no chance for a comeback. . Only when all possible mistakes are reduced to a minimum and everything that can be considered is carefully prepared can the fireworks team really do it.

Wayne's request was very simple. The initial plan was that there would be two explosions. When the first explosion occurred, the clown had to be given time to reach a safe location, and then no matter what method was used, the building would have a second explosion. explode.

And the scene where the clown turns his head to beat the drum and play the remote control is not an explosion of acting skills at all, it is purely a trigger signal designed in advance. There is no way to shoot this blasting scene twice and then edit it together. The point of this is to keep the shots continuous and not to have the effect of piercing.

"boss."

Wayne, who was in a trance, was gently nudged by Nina. Facing his doubtful eyes, the assistant said in a low voice, "The old man is here."

Following Nina's reminder, John Williams, with white hair and a beard, looked around like a curious baby and came over.

"Excuse me, John, let's keep talking."

The relieved Wayne smiled, apologized to the old man, and took him to his trailer. After the two sat down, they continued to chat about the soundtrack of the movie, especially the soundtrack of the clown.

John Towner Williams, this unassuming white old man, at first glance, looks like a farm red neck, but in fact he is Hollywood's best film score master, also known as modern First film scorer.

His achievements are not only a film score master, but also a pianist, conductor and composer. When it comes to movie soundtracks, the first reaction of many people is Hans Zimmer. In fact, among the three most famous soundtrack masters in Hollywood, John Williams is the undisputed first person.

For famous films such as "Star Wars", "Schindler's List", "Jaws", "Jurassic Park", etc., the soundtracks behind them are all from his team.

The reason why Hans Zimmer's soundtrack team was not invited this time was because of the joint recommendation of Steven Spielberg and George Lucas. For the cooperation between them, Warner Bros. is the most popular one, because this old man has a very good relationship with Warner Bros., and he counts as half of himself.

For example, the "Harry Potter" and "Superman" series that will definitely be launched in the future All the soundtracks are all from the team of this old man, and can be called the leader of modern film soundtracks in the circle. Relying not only on the relationship with Warner Bros., but also on undeniable strength.

"Crazy, funny, dark, perverted..." John Williams' eyes flickered, frowning slightly and muttering to himself. "The complexity of this character is amazing!"

"Director Greenberg, I heard that you will be shooting a blasting scene about the clown tomorrow." The old man suddenly raised his head suddenly, looked sincerely at the young man sitting opposite, and asked tentatively. "Can I watch the clown's performance live, don't get me wrong, I just want to get to know the characters up close."

John Williams is not an outsider. He knows a little bit about the rules in the crew. He knows similar scenes and must be kept strictly confidential during the filming process. Until the day of the film's official preview, outsiders can hardly know about it. .

Just look at the "Dark Knight", which has always been very popular. The rumors about the film are full of gossip tabloids, but there is no specific thing at all, which shows how strict the confidentiality of the core team of the crew is.

"Excuse me, John."

Wayne shrugged and said bluntly: "It's okay to watch the filming, but you need to sign the confidentiality agreement. This is not just for you, every core behind-the-scenes participant has signed."

"no problem."

John Williams nodded happily, obviously thinking of such a result. "That's it, I'll be with the crew tomorrow."

The old man smiled, stood up and shook hands with Wayne, nodded politely, and left the director's trailer.
