Chapter 701： The plot is simpler

The filming of the film crew on the streets of Los Angeles was once blocked by the Los Angeles County authorities. These scenes were full of explosions and crashes. There was indeed a certain degree of uncertainty. Fortunately, after communication with Disney, the film crew obtained permission to shoot on the spot. , But it must be carried out under the supervision of the municipal government.

"Change your mind! Change another way of shooting."

After calling the crew to stop, Michael Bay jumped off the director’s chair on the slide and walked to the other side of the street. After explaining to the props and fireworks crews for about fifteen minutes, he came to Ryan again, “I’m going to be there. Here we add a set of more impactful lenses."

"no problem."

Handing the "Fire Source" to the assistant next to him, Ryan knew that Michael Bay wanted to add shots temporarily, "Michael, you are the director."

Maintaining and respecting the power of the director on the set is something that any qualified producer will do.

"So, Ryan."

Because it was a temporary addition, Michael Bay said carefully, "You take the fire source and run to the scheduled day of summer."

Michael Bay took off his sunglasses, hung them in the pocket of his shirt, ran forward a few steps, turned his head and said, "Then an F-22 Raptor fighter in the sky fell down."

"Let's run together once."

Ryan picked up the "Fire Source" and made a start gesture. After Michael Bay nodded, he ran towards the car model being erected by the props team. At a distance of about twenty feet, Michael Bey stopped first.

"Ryan, after you run here." He turned his head and looked here, pointing to the three cars on the catapult plane, and said.

"Starscream fell down and overturned the cars, blocking your way. Then Ironhide and the ambulance rushed from behind, and violently exchanged fire with Starscream, you ran past them in the chaos."

"I see." Ryan knew that Michael Bay wanted to add more shots of battles and explosions.

"Also." Bella exploded. Ryan followed him to the pyrotechnic group. He pointed to some rope thick with his thumb and said, "This is a detonating cord. There will be a lot of them on the ground during shooting. You must Go quickly and don’t trip over them."

This is the usual blasting props used in Hollywood, although the momentum of the explosion is amazing. But the power is not great, but Ryan also paid attention. After all, he was really bombed. Even if he didn't suffer any injuries, it would definitely be uncomfortable.

The shooting of an explosion scene is not only costly, but also very cumbersome. Just arranging the scene, it took nearly two hours. Fortunately, this kind of scene does not have high requirements for the actors' acting skills. Otherwise, if the director shouts "cut", it is no less than a disaster for the crew.

"Ryan!" Michael Bay shouted to him while standing behind the camera on the slide rail, holding a loudspeaker. "Are you ready?"

With a thumbs up to that side, Ryan took the "Fire Source" from the assistant, took two deep breaths, and looked forward.

"begin!"

Hear Mike and Bey's shout. Ryan swiftly avoided the two cars that turned over to the ground, and rushed towards the building not far away, the source of fire that could destroy mankind. He was held tightly in his arms.

His speed is very fast, but in more than ten seconds, he ran tens of feet, seeing the target getting closer and closer, when he rushed to the door of a CT specialty store, Ryan raised his head and looked at the sky.

Although there was actually only air there, he appropriately showed a slightly horrified expression after seeing Starscream, and stopped quickly.

"Boom! Boom!"

More than 20 feet ahead, three cars were overturned by Starscream, which did not exist in the filming. Fire and smoke rose up. Three GM-provided cars were flew out by catapult projectiles, and speckled sparks rushed up. sky.

Holding the fire source tightly with one hand and covering his head with the other, Ryan turned his head and shouted to the back, "Ironhide! Ambulance!"

After waiting for about three seconds, several places in the front and rear were detonated at the same time. The smoke and fire showed that the battle between the Autobots and the Decepticons had begun.

"Ironhide! Ambulance!"

The actor in this world is not a boring high school student. Ryan shouted into the air, "Cover me! Cover me and rush over!"

After finishing speaking, he immediately rushed forward again, dodging a burning car on the side of the road, gradually speeding up, and at the same time swiftly jumping over the detonating cord arranged on the road.

Ryan's speed is getting faster and faster. Even if he doesn't look back, he knows that wherever he rushes, fire and gunpowder have been exploded, and Starscream is chasing him!

"Boom!"

Just over twenty feet to his left, another car was bombed and flew into the air.

Against the floating smoke, Ryan rolled on the black mat on the road, hid behind a small truck, panted a few times, and stretched out his head to look in the direction he came.

Naturally, I can't see the two robots that need to be added in the later stage, but explosions and fires are still appearing frequently. Cars flying, rolling or crashing, seem to prove the fierceness of this non-existent battle.

The three cameras have been chasing Ryan, and now they are even closer to give him the biggest close-up.

"Ok!"

The explosion finally came to an end, and Michael Bay’s voice rang out from the loudspeaker, "It's over, it's perfect!"

Both the props team and the pyrotechnic team have cooperated with Michael Bay for more than a decade. The tacit understanding between the two parties is undoubtedly the help of Michael Bay, but it is also an obstacle to his transformation.

It took him more than ten years to build a team with the best shots of explosions and impact. If he wants to transform, it means that the entire team must transform. The difficulty can be imagined.

A successful director does not represent himself either. There is also a large and successful team behind him.

"Ryan, great job!"

Just as Ryan respected the director as much as possible on the set, Michael Bay returned with enough respect.

"Michael." Ryan took a drink from the assistant, took a few sips, and said to the director's chair, "Michael, we have ruined a street in Los Angeles."

Although this is a bit exaggerated, the closed shooting of this street is really horrible.

Even if no roads and buildings were damaged, the destroyed cars and the props ‘tar blocks’ that sprang up after the explosion are everywhere on this road.

Don't worry too much about this. The crew has already contacted a special cleaning company, and someone will enter this street at night to clean it up.

"anything else"

The female assistant that the crew played for Ryan took back the cup and asked, "Is there something to eat?".

"dark chocolate."

For this day's shooting, Ryan basically ran around in the explosion, and felt that he needed to replenish his physical strength. "Take a few more dollars, thank you!"

"I think white chocolate should be more suitable."

Just sitting on the chair, Ryan heard a crisp woman's voice from next to him, and when he turned his head to look, a tall woman in body shaping jeans walked next to him.

"Hello, Ryan."

"Hello, Miss Ambrosio."

Ryan shook his stretched hand gently. This was the first time he saw the heroine of this film.

"Just call me Colin."

"Well, Colin." Ryan pointed to the chair next to him, "Please sit down."

At this time, the female assistant came over with dark chocolate. After Ryan took it, she opened a piece and stuffed it into her mouth, "The amount of exercise we shot today is a bit large, and I need to replenish my energy."

"I think white chocolate is more suitable." Alexandra Ambrosio said with a polite smile, "dark chocolate is too high in calories."

Ryan was noncommittal about this, and the other party stood up after the assistant reminded him, "Sorry, I'm going to put on makeup."

"Please." Ryan nodded.

These Victoria's Secret angels may not look so beautiful, but they have attractive figures and unusually photogenic looks. Most people often look like two in the lens and outside the lens, and these angels are enough to be attractive in the lens. A large vase for the audience.

Hmm... This can be regarded as the biggest and even the only role of the heroine.

The filming is still going on, Michael Bay will never stop if this street is not "destroyed" beyond recognition.

A huge trailer drove into the street from the parking lot, and a m1a2 main battle tank provided by the US military was added to the shooting. Although all the tank shooting will be added in the later stage, this vehicle weighs more than 60 tons. The roar of the engine and the tremor of the road were still astonishing when the giant monster ran over the road that the crew had paved with a protective layer.

The US military not only sponsored the shooting for free, but also provided many of the most advanced weapons and equipment.

This combat-experienced tank also showed its ability to crush everything in the shooting. Faced with the surrounding of several cameras, it easily crushed the car arranged by the prop set into garbage. Limited to a series of conditions such as roads, with Michael Bay’s personality and style, he would let this tank perform a combat shooting if not sure.

Anyway, the greater the momentum and scale of the explosion, the more Michael Bay liked it, because it best met Ryan's requirements for this film.

This is a standard popcorn movie. It has nothing to do with connotations.

The filming of the film proceeded in an orderly manner, because it was shot in downtown Los Angeles. According to the agreement reached between the crew and the Los Angeles municipal government, in order not to affect daily life and business activities, the final battle could only be shot on the weekend.

When the weekend passed, the streets destroyed by the ‘explosion’ took on a new look and restored their original appearance, and the crew moved to a small town near Los Angeles to prepare for the film where the two human protagonists meet.

Compared with the previous life, these have undergone tremendous changes, and the plot is simpler and thinner. (To be continued...) ()
