v2 Chapter 854： The ending must feel right

In Hollywood-style hero movies, the big action scenes no longer only have the iconic meaning of commercial blockbusters, but also have the special function of violent aesthetic upgrade experience, panoramic scene description and exquisite action depiction, plus ima The quality of the picture and the full immersion viewing experience are inevitable pursuits of Duke when shooting and producing.

In order to pursue a real movie-watching experience, Duke did not hand over all the big scenes to post-production special effects. Many action scenes will also be taken in real shooting.

Except for special effects scenes, Duke generally does not personally make storyboards for each scene. In those action special effects scenes, each sub-shot has a storyboard and preview animation.

In terms of special effects, Duke has never rejected gi computer technology, and will not adhere to the so-called physical realization of the concept that everything can be overridden, but he also knows that it is always good to shoot as much real shot material as possible, even if it is used later G technology can also achieve better results for synthesis and upgrading.

In Los Angeles, Duke led the crew to the Raiders' Lauder Stadium, and gathered nearly 20,000 fans as extras. This requires a large number of actors, an entire stunt double team and an on-site blasting team.

What was filmed here was a scene that was born in an American football stadium. The Gotham Rogue gang was playing at the time. Bain activated bombs located throughout Gotham City. Several of them were placed under the stadium and the gunpowder detonated. Later, the stadium and many players were involved in a huge hole.

Naturally, the ima camera was used for shooting, but the scale of the explosion is extremely limited, and the stadium will not collapse. All the explosion effects basically rely on post synthesis. The visual effects artists of Industrial Light and Magic also used g to create a collapsed stadium. The foreground elements of Duke will enhance Jos William’s fireworks effect after the filming is completed, and increase the frightened audience from nearly 20,000 to over 80,000.

While Duke was busy shooting, Warner Bros.'s propaganda about the rise of the Dark Knight did not relax. ﹝〔

"Harvey Dante may have died in the Dark Knight but he is not like a Joker. His name will continue to appear in The Dark Knight Rise"

News about the rise of the Dark Knight is always circulating on the Internet and in the media.

Fans who have been following the Internet soon found some new news on the official website of The Rise of the Dark Knight and other popular websites, a press release from Gotham City Mayor Anthony Garciab.

"This morning, Mayor Anthony Garcia signed the'Operation Dante' bill. The city council unanimously passed the legislation to improve the city’s crackdown on organized crime. One of the main purposes of creating this action is more severe punishment. Crimes, including those who play an important role in a part of a large criminal group, will refuse to be released on parole. This will fill the loopholes in the previously created laws and save cities from being plagued by organized crime as before."

A speech by the Mayor of Gotham City, Anthony Garcia, also appeared behind.

"The name Harvey Dante is a true hero. He used his courage to deal with the streets ruled by the criminal empire and saved our city. We should remember his sacrifice."

"15 minutes ago, I signed a bill and named it the'Operation Dante' bill to allow us to make up for the departure of Harvey Dante. This legislation authorizes the Chief of Police Jim Gordon as the ultimate The means needed to combat the crime and violence still active in our cities."

"For those who claim that this bill created a police nation, my answer is very simple. Before the'Operation Dante' bill, our city was so desperate and hopeless that we had to give our trust to A masked volunteer who eventually murdered the man who belonged to the true hope of Gotham City. Fortunately, the hope continues. This motion is Harvey Dante’s legacy and I want to protect it." 〔(?

Another news was released.

"At the request of the mayor, the city council will introduce another bill to make the day of Harvey Dante's death an official city public holiday, called'Harvey Dante's Day'."

There is no doubt that this is viral marketing by Warner Bros.

In the eyes of the fans, Duke went to the studio and began to shoot some more difficult action scenes in front of the rebuilt green screen, such as the shot of the Bat fighter.

All Bat fighter shots will be shot in front of the green screen. Then synthesize it into the real shot footage through gi.

The shot of the Bat fighter can be divided into two parts: the ground and the high altitude.

This fighter was mounted by Duke on a locomotive equipped with a gimbal when shooting ground action footage; when performing high-altitude stunts, several heavy-duty booms were used to shoot in the air.

In order to fully capture every action in the high dynamic range of the Bat fighter at the shooting scene, Duke also asked Industrial Light & Magic to develop a panoramic special effects photography system. The system uses four digital SLR cameras equipped with 8mm lenses to create the effect of overlapping fields of view, and the panoramic images obtained can be collaged and combined through digital technology.

According to the cooperation practice between Duke and John Schwarzman, John Schwarzman should be the only main camera crew in the film. However, in many scenes, the auxiliary machine and the Steadicam operator Ben? Scott also played an important role in the shooting of these scenes. The utilization rate of auxiliary materials is very high.

In addition to complex shooting, Duke also decided to place more scenes in the film during the day, unlike the dark knight almost entirely using the night as the background image.

In Duke’s plan, Gotham City’s nighttime location scenes were mainly shot in New York and Pittsburgh. As early as the preparatory stage, John Schwarzman took many photos with the exposure required by Duke. After writing a remark on each photo, it was sent to the lighting engineer of each city equipped by the crew.

Equipment lighting engineers can use the spectrometer to ensure that the background locations that need lighting can be arranged properly after returning to the location.

In this way, when Duke leads the crew to the shooting scene, the background lighting has been arranged, and more time is spent on shooting.

In December, when the time is slowly approaching, the film is getting closer and closer. Apart from the busy shooting, Duke also began to cooperate with Warner Bros’ publicity work. An interview about him appeared in the new issue. Entertainment Weekly.

"The Dark Knight Rises is being filmed, and director Duke Rosenberg also talked about his feelings about the end of the Batman trilogy and the behind-the-scenes content of the big villain Bain in the interview."

"Speaking of his last Batman movie, Duke Rosenberg said: "I try to be less emotional on set. Because it doesn't help to do my job well. But you do listen. A little voice was saying okay to myself, this is the last time we took this."

"This whole process is like a journey. When a character scene is finished saying goodbye to them, it really makes people feel a lot of emotion. Marvel will say to them: Goodbye, old butler Alfred; Goodbye, Police Chief Jim Ge It really means too much to me, a very touching moment."

"When the reporter asked Duke, how did he think of setting Bain the Destroyer as the villain of this movie after Heath Ledger played such an outstanding villain? Duke replied: "Originally, I I don’t know much about the role of Bain. At the time, the editing team of the Duke’s studio gave me a bunch of materials about Bain. We studied him together. I am not very familiar with the story behind him, but this is a very cool one. Roles. "

"For the character of Bain, Tatar's body is its characteristic. You must have a prototype to create a'good' villain. You know, you need the extremeization of a certain type of villain. The clown is obviously a very Unique archetype: Devil-like, anarchistic, with a wicked sense of humor; I want to show Bain a completely different type in the movie this time. Bain is a muscular villain first, to some extent To say that he is a screen monster in a classic movie but has a very smart brain. I think the audience will be very happy to see us shaping Bain."

"If you can find an actor like Dawn Johnson to play Bain, you know you can definitely see something special. Like any great actor, Dawn is the kind of thing that can incorporate the characteristics of the character into the performance. A performer who moves, frowns and smiles. He is a very, very good actor who can perform physically."

"Dawn will transform himself into the role at every moment. He not only dared to get close to the role from the external image, but also dare to go deep into the character's heart; he has a deep grasp of the character's psychology, and how to use the body and expression. To convey that the role has a very, very clear consciousness, of course Bell is also such a very emotional actor."

"Speaking of the end of the film, Duke Rosenberg said again: "At the end of the Dark Knight, Batman and Police Chief Jim Gordon made major sacrifices and compromises. By the end of this film, this sacrifice will inevitably generate value. Gotham City should become better in a sense. They have to accomplish something at the end of the film. So I want the feeling of the end of the film to be correct. "

Not only in North America, but in other important markets, Warner Bros.'s publicity for the rise of the Dark Knight is ongoing.

Although Duke’s last film, The Avengers, did not obtain the key to the extension in the Chinese market, it also won 1.856 billion RMB in the box office during its one-month screening. This achievement has further increased the Chinese market’s Hollywood company. The weight in mind.

Limited to the regulations of Big Scissors, Warner Greater China was unable to make much advance publicity, but it still formulated some targeted strategies. (To be continued.)
